http://allthatsinteresting.com/worlds-oldest-structures | 9 Of The Oldest Structures In The World That Are Still Standing With buildings dating back to 9,000 BC , these are some of the world ' s oldest structures that have stood the test of time . Wikimedia Commons During the Neolithic Age , a period that lasted from around 9,000 BCE to 3,000 BCE , the world looked dramatically different . With the gradual development of agriculture , formerly nomadic societies began to settle , and temporary encampments gave way to permanent homes and buildings carved into bedrock and erected from massive stones . These represent the world ’ s oldest structures . Into the rock , these ancient peoples carved their fears , hopes , and dreams : They left behind both mysterious , indecipherable pictograms and stunningly clear animal reliefs . They raised the world ’ s first megaliths , enormous rock monuments that stood watch over religious ceremonies and burials . And they made homes , honeycomb - pattern mazes and wide - open temples , underground tombs , and lofty daises for ceremonies and sacrifices . The structures are as different as the peoples who made them . They span the globe , appearing everywhere from Turkey and Malta to France and Peru . Read on to explore some of the world ’ s oldest structures . Oldest Structures : Megalithic Temples , Malta Dating back to 3,500 to 2,500 BCE , the Megalithic Temples of Malta are some of the oldest structures in the world . As the name suggests , they are a group of stone temples older than Stonehenge and the Egyptian pyramids . Excellently preserved , they were rediscovered and restored in the 19th century by European and native Maltese archaeologists . While not much is known about who built them , evidence from inside the temples – livestock sacrifices – suggests that local farmers constructed the stony structures . There are several temples scattered around , many of which appear on the UNESCO World Heritage List . However , the most important one of them all is the two - temple complex at Ggantija . | [

No one else will protect us , we must stand up for ourselves . While the rest of mankind dwell in the light , we must stand in the darkness to combat it , contain it , and shield it from the eyes of the public , so that others may live in a sane , normal world . We secure . We contain . We protect . " The Administrator " About the SCP Organization Item # : SCP - 4445 Object Class : Safe Special Containment Procedures : Security of these data has been compromised , rendering further secrecy counter - productive . In accordance with Information Security Protocol 008 - C - 1 ( " Class C breach " ) and the recommendation of General Bowe , our current orders are to allow all but the most sensitive data to remain freely available . The nature of these data ensures that few will question the official cover story : that these data are short works of horror fiction originating from the Image Board " 4chan " and uploaded to a publicly edited website ( i.e. a " wiki " ) : here Description : SCP - 4445 is the incomplete archives of the SCP Foundation , a secret , global organization which exists to study , catalogue , and contain SCP Objects : artifacts and " items which jeopardize normalcy " . These range from humans with strange powers , to creatures of extraterrestrial or extradimensional origin , to objects causing unexplainable phenomena , to [ DATA EXPUNGED ] . All of them represent clear threats to human normalcy , human society , human sanity , human lives , or quite simply the universe at large . Of course , the nature of SCP Objects means that those who contain and study them must possess certain qualities : keen intelligence , a clinical outlook , and complete ruthlessness . The stakes are far too high to allow concerns like morality or the loss of human lives to interfere . . . In layman ' s terms , the SCP Foundation is a wiki that serves as a collection of reports on fictional artifacts / humanoids , based around the idea of an international agency that contains items that threaten the normality of the world . These items are referred to as SCPs , with each one given containment procedures , a description , and history of experiments on them . Originated as " creepypasta " on 4chan ' s / x / ( paranormal ) board , and then moved to its own site . For those who have n ' t figured by now , Gaia Online guild that was disliked for having much lower standards . And to prevent any future fandom flame wars , the SCP Foundation website predated the TV series Warehouse 13 , but not Raiders of the Lost Ark An independently developed survival horror game called SCP : Containment Breach revolves around SCP - 173 escaping its chamber , and is currently in alpha . It can be found here Now in Russian !

SCP - 2000 is a huge cloning facility made for the purpose of creating perfect humans in order to repopulate the world should an End - of - the - World scenario happen . And it has happened , several times . History has been written and fabricated in order to cover it all up as well as implanting fake memories into the humans and their technology . Alien Geometries Created by SCP - 436 They are also made by SCP - 184 SCP - 1898 lets you make some yourself . All Myths Are True : Heavily implied by The Administrator ' s letter , which claims that the SCPs themselves are the universe ' s conservation of insanity after the end of myths .

They range from crapsack surreally nightmarish places to simply quirky worlds where some obscure nation / language group is the dominant one . Ambiguous Syntax The Six - Foot - Tall Man Eating Chicken , SCP - 3467 . Special containment procedures include being made fun of at every opportunity . A Million Is a Statistic : Used in the file on SCP 1123 : touching the skull gets you possessed by the spirit of a victim of political movements . " █ █ % of imprints come from Communist China ’ s Great Leap Forward between 1958 and 1961 , █ █ % of imprints come from Nazi Germany ’ s extermination efforts between 1939 and 1945 , while only █ % come from events such as the Armenian Genocide or the Iraqi Anfal campaign where deaths are only estimated in the 1 to 2 million range . " Amplifier Artifact SCP - 914 on the " Fine " and " Very Fine " settings . SCP - 248 is a Factory SCP that increases the performance of anything it ' s placed on to 110 % . Amusement Park of Doom : Visit the Carnival of Horrors . When you ' re done , try the Mirror Maze . Fun for the whole family . Amusing Injuries : Just look at Dr . Gerald ' s personnel file . His driving skills will cause this to everyone in the general vicinity . Even if he ' s on a bike . He blows up the Iranian equivalent of the foundation by having the SCP send him in on roller skates . Ancient Tomb SCP - 557 . And they ca n ' t find the thing that got out of it after 4500 years . . .but anything called the " bastard son of Apep ca n ' t be good news . And I Must Scream : Several can cause this , such as SCP - 439 SCP - 835 . Read the uncensored logs SCP - 723 - D ' s fate ; sealed within a massive block of concrete . Given how badly written he was , though , it ' s not undeserved . SCP - 515 has to be restrained to the point of nigh - immobility , with his limb bones broken for good measure , because whenever 515 moves , a cluster of asteroids comes closer to Earth . The faster he moves ( or , formerly , she , but the first 515 died and the current one popped up to replace her ) , the faster the rocks move . SCP - 747 is a group of children in animal masks that dance around any subject they take interest in , turning that subject into a doll over a period of time . During that period , the subject loses all five major senses until final transformation . SCP - 231 also has to be restrained at all times , and attended by doctors who have n ' t taken the Hippocratic Oath . Once a day , she has to be subjected to Procedure 110 - Montauk , which is so horrible that most of the details are classified , or else she gives birth to something that will possibly end the world . Worse , the psychological trauma appears to be an important part of the process ; after every fourth procedure , they erase her memory of the whole shebang so that she does n ' t get used to it . SCP - 138 , The Ever - Living Man . A severely decayed , hideously decrepit man who is at least 4000 years old , with dozens of unhealed mortal wounds all over his body , who for some reason can not die . . . no matter how much he wants to . The SCP are trying to euthanize him , but so far , their attempts have been ineffective . Victims of SCP - 318 are imprisoned within paper scrolls , and they can only see and communicate with the outside world when unrolled ( and the Foundation does n ' t do that often . ) If the paper is damaged enough , they stop responding . . . but it ' s unknown if they die , or just lose their only connection with the world . Anyone who touches SCP - 911 ends up floating in an infinite featureless void , unless they manage to escape through a portal that only opens rarely for a few seconds . SCP - 373 allows one to talk to people who , apparently , are imprisoned in a black void where they perceive nothing but the voice of whoever is talking to them . Though it might all be a hoax on part of SCP - 373 . Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better SCP - 056 Apocalyptic Log : Several of the personal logs and mission reports . Towards the end of the article , SCP - 093 takes this trope and runs it into the ground . Apple of Discord 050 . Acquiring the title of " cleverest prankster " has never been so hazardous April Fools ' Day April 1st of 2010 involved one ( or more ) of the mods going through and editing articles into a more humorous state . Details included replacing researcher ' s profile pictures , and the containment breach of a self - inserting SCP : adding " And Fred was there . " to the end of Foundation Tales pages , and general editing of SCPs ( Classification : SUPER KETER ) Darkblade was here . April 1st of 2009 featured multiple image replacements on the most popular SCPs , including depicting 682 ( the Hard - To - Destroy Reptile ) as Barney , 076 - 2 ( the official Mary Sue boundary line ) as Sephiroth , and 173 ( the statue that attacks when you ' re not watching it ) as the Statue of Liberty . Also , the site Woobie Can of Sealed Evil 231 - 7 , was cured and set free , and in its test log 682 was killed by cutting it in half and letting the halves kill each other . And 914 , the only SCP to surpass the original in popularity , was erased and relabeled as , basically , " This is a picture of a box full of gears . Why on earth does everyone like it so much ? " The 2011 Fool ' s Day received a similar treatment , with 682 becoming Bowser Kirby Dr . Clef ' s Proposal 001 Gate Guardian becoming Metatron from Dogma . Among others . In 2012 , the " Groups of Interest " page got a makeover , with the Red Team as the GOC , Anonymous as " Nobody " , and Drosselmyer as Dr . Wondertainment . Plus there was a slot added for the Shark Punching Centre . Other SCPs had their pictures changed to comedic images . Furthermore , Darkblade ( SCP - 777 - J ) and a Self Insert named Fred went on an SCP hopping adventure while trying to beat each other up . And Dr . Clef ' s Proposal ( SCP - 001 ) is Lilith for the moment . Arc Words The children used to sing " Does the black moon howl ? " Area 51 SCP - 1051 is a somewhat unique take on this . Arson , Murder , and Jaywalking : From SCP - 1006 : Once supplied a source of black ink and poster sheets , SCP - 1006 will communicate with humans by creating signs written in English . These communications are largely centered around demands for the dismantling of western imperialism , a scathing critique of the bourgeoisie , and a request for less mosquito spraying in the surrounding area of the park . Artifact Collection Agency - Derp . The Chaos Insurgency , as well - they are , after all , a rogue splinter faction of the SCP . Artifact of Doom : Very Many . Author Avatar : All named high - ranking members are fictional counterparts of wiki ' s administrative staff . The writers ' personalities tend to differ ( sometimes significantly ) from their characters ' personalities . Except for Dr . Bright . What you read is pretty much what you get . Besides the " body jumper " bit . Auto Cannibalism SCP - 524 , an Extreme Omnivore rabbit who is so extreme that his diet includes himself . When the only remaining parts of his body are parts that he ca n ' t reach with his mouth , his mouth flips inside out , swallowing himself whole in one final gulp . Half an hour later he ' ll re - appear , whole and unharmed . Atlantis : Kinda , one of the SCPs is clearly Ys , a legendary city off the Atlantic coast of France that was sunk when its Rebellious Princess opened the floodgates . Badass Normal : Most competent Foundation personnel . For example , one of SCP - 140 ' s archeological digs went very , very wrong . The doctor in charge of the site sacrificed his life to stop whatever the Hell was in there . Dr . Clef was placed in a room with 682 and stared the beast to a standstill . Though this my support the Satan theory . Bag of Holding SCP - 101 is of the ' Bag of Devouring ' variant . Batman Gambit : How Dr Mann tries to become the Administrator Out - Gambitted Every single person he had killed either survived , did n ' t stay dead or got replaced by someone else ( or themselves ) . Battle in the Center of the Mind The Medium . Literally . Beat It by Compulsion : The " Feral " form of SCP - 578 , though it ' s not " beat " as much as " slow it down at least a bit " . Beware of Hitch - Hiking Ghosts SCP - 1337 was harmless , until a foundation doctor had her parents executed and her home demolished . Now she ' s not Big Creepy - Crawlies SCP - 363 , the Not Centipedes . Do n ' t turn the lights off . . . Bigfoot , Sasquatch , and Yeti SCP - 1000 . They once ruled the world , and may yet again . . Bioluminescence Is Cool SCP - 1660 - 7 have biolumicescence . It turns out that they are sapient and use it to communicate . Black Box SCP - 914 . Various settings give the user " control " of the output . Black Comedy Body Horror : Too many to list . One of the most notable examples , however , is SCP - 835 , a creature that is horribly disgusting in its own right , until you read the uncensored logs from the mission and discover that it is composed entirely of parts of the human anatomy . Tooth enamel , muscle . All from humans it has digested A more offbeat variant is SCP - 524 . It ' s a bunny rabbit that can eat anything . Including itself . Anything it eats will regenerate , so it will regularly eat parts of itself , or even its whole body . Literally . It can eat its own head . Boxed Crook : Class D Personnel are mostly death row inmates . ( See Cannon Fodder , below . ) Brain Bleach : Class A amnesiacs can come in quite handy when dealing with some SCPs . Bread , Eggs , Milk , Squick SCP - 978 has scenes of hilarity , scenes of remarkable fuzz , and scenes to haunt your dreams . All at random . A lot of articles will read like this , with the article seemingly describing a normal person / object with mundane powers until you read the part about how it kills / mentally scars / otherwise ruins you . For example , a magic boarding pass that transforms into a valid ticket for the nearest public transportation vehicle , completely indistinguishable from any normal ticket ( like the bus pass in your wallet right now ) . And then once you reach your destination , it erases you from existence . Breaking the Fourth Wall : SCP - 993 , a childrens ' television show about " Bobble the Clown " which sends viewers over ten into a coma for the duration of the program . Like most childrens ' shows of the particular format , it has the normal sort of fourth - wall - breaking , speaking directly to the audience as he teaches the under - tens to commit any number of atrocities . More recently , it seems to have caught on to the SCP Foundation ' s efforts to keep it from being broadcast to the world ; the two and Then there ' s S Andrew Swann ' s Proposal . In the end , it concludes with the basic truth of the matter : But we found out that there is a God , and it is SCP - 001 . And it ’ s a bunch of horror writers . Broken Angel SCP - 042 - A Formerly Winged Horse Brown Note SCP - 1012 , a chord that will literally destroy the world , at the atomic level , if it is ever produced . Bunny Ears Lawyer : Just about all the scientific personnel , in one way or another . Compared to the others , the real Bunny Ears Lawyer is Dr . Glass . He ' s probably the only one with anything resembling normal human emotions and morals . SC Dr Bright surely takes the cake , though . At least , that ' s the only reason we can assume he ' s still there after everything he ' s apparently done Butt Monkey : Class D personnel are used for the more dangerous tests . C - D Caffeine Bullet Time : One can of Red Bull + one D - class subject + on Very Fine = " some kind of gray blur " . Cameo : A couple of the joke SCPs - and a few of the regular ones as well . Big Biblical names , Strega Nona ' s pot , The Little Mermaid Halloween , Santa Claus . . . Canon : Loose , and kept that way . Recite the mantra : " There is no canon . " Cannon Fodder : Dying is literally in the job description of Class D Personnel . It can get quite blatant ; for instance SCP - 120 notes that a moon base was constructed after expending " vast amounts of money and D - personnel " . Despite being Elite Mooks , the Foundation ' s Mobile Task Forces are surprisingly easily defeated . ( Given the nature of what they ' re up against , this is n ' t entirely surprising . Even the SCPs that are n ' t actively hostile are often very difficult to handle . ) Read through any given incident report featuring any given Mobile Task Force and watch the team quickly fall apart , one member at a time . Yes , even that time they went after a non - sentient SCP whose only known ability was to produce an infinite amount of pasta MD : This is MD , we ' re on floor seventeen , ME is down ! L1 : Down ? Why ? MF : Some farfalle cut him to death , fuck if I know ! Of course , this depends on SCP to SCP . Some have managed to destroy horrible magic artifacts with nothing but modern day weaponry . It might help if you know where D - Class personnel come from . Most of them are prisoners taken from death row , on the basis that since they ' re going to die and are no longer afforded any human rights whatsoever , we might as well throw them at anything that we ca n ' t get volunteers for . A few of them are instead ex - members of Foundation staff , who got busted down to D - Class after they misbehaved so badly that they may well have endangered their entire facility for a Captured Super Entity Lots . Indeed , it ' s pretty the point . █ █ █ █ or Box [ REDACTED ] Chainsaw Good This Is a Drill : After Able started working for the Foundation , some changes were observed in his endless supply of hack - slash - stabbity - chop - chop implements : Addendum 076 - 08 : As of 08 / 11 / ? ? ? ? , SCP - 076 - 2 ' s weapons have become noticeably different , being constructed of an unknown dull , dark brown metal , the items mechanical in design and nature , rather than traditionalist iron forged items . Rotating blades , chain edges , and drills are often present on subject ' s weaponry , powered and operated by unknown sources . It is unknown as to what prompted this change , and SCP - 076 - 2 again refuses to divulge any information regarding it , stating only " Your people have created such odd blades . I thought I might see how Clef recounts a time when he was bringing a chainsaw to work to test if it had any anomalies worth researching , but wound up in the middle of what he thought was D - Class riot ( but was actually a costume party for the research staff ) . Half the research staff died that night , and the chainsaw was discovered to be just a regular chainsaw after all . Childless Dystopia SCP - 1322 is a small interdimensional portal to another world . The people on the other side have suffered a global Sterility Plague , and blame our side . Clap Your Hands If You Believe : Believing you can keep SCP - 616 - 1 open will make you able to keep it open . For this reason , the Foundation painted Satanic symbols all over it and manned SCP - 616 flights with devout people . SCP - 239 is a Reality Warper who does n ' t fully understand the nature of her powers . Instead , what she believes to be true becomes true . People are exceptionally nice to her because she thinks they ' re her friends , so they become friendly . Bordering on Mind Screw , this works the other way as well : Dr . Clef frightened her , and she believed he wanted to kill her , so he became obsessed with killing her . Cold Turkeys Are Everywhere : Appleseedsappleseedsappleseeds ( see Running Gag below ) . Combo - Platter Powers : Allowing for humanoid SCPs has resulted in many a Mary Sue being listed . These are generally deleted within time , but the notoriously bad ones are decommissioned : they remain in the series continuity as past SCPs and are given elaborate destruction sequences . The Comically Serious The SCP reports are written in an entirely serious tone , no matter how absurd the topic might be - a cake platter that continually generates cupcakes sounds silly , but it ' s there and has to dealt with , as left unchecked it would bury the entire world under baked goods . Thus , the dry manner of the archive acts a Straight Man to the nature of the SCPs ( especially the " joke " ones ) and the eccentric behaviour of SCP personnel . The dead serious warnings after some doctors with a sense of humor pull some sort of stunt / prank . Condemned Contestant : D - Class personnel . Taken a bit more literally when Game Show style SCPs come into play , namely , SCP - 024 SCP - 263 . Conveniently Interrupted Document : Used extensively . Cool Train SCP - 716 qualifies for this trope by virtue of being a steam engine . And it can travel through dimensions . Also SCP - 052 The Coroner Doth Protest Too Much : The SCP - 682 termination attempt using Dr . Clef . The Foundation itself routinely does this when recovering SCPs that have caused casualties . Not fatal , but this after - incident interview ends with a description of some completely accidental injuries on the part of Doctor Clef Corrupt Corporate Executive : Marshall , Carter , and Dark , Ltd . is a group that captures ( and occasionally makes ) SCP objects for exploitation and sale to rich people . The Factory may have been run by these sort of people . Cosmic Horror Story : Perhaps at an even greater level than Lovecraft ' s , as the Foundation has n ' t even been able to catalog the number of parallel universes , pocket dimensions , and indescribably vast voids full of incomprehensible entities and forces trying to kill us . Lovecraft Lite : And sometimes , the Foundation kicks them in the face . Cosmic Retcon SCP - 140 , a book describing the history of a horrifically evil civilization . And any time it gets anywhere near ink , shed human blood , or other fluids suitable for writing , it grows , and new artifacts and traces of the new material show up in archaeological digs . Not to mention that if you give it enough ink , it extends the history of the Daevites . Original version : Daevites were squished by Qin Kai in the 3rd century BCE . Now ? They were squished by Genghis Khan . . . ( Did the book itself retroactively create the Daevites ? ) Crazy Cat Lady : Required to keep SCP - 511 under control . Crossover : These are generally frowned upon ; there used to be a lot of joke SCPs which were nothing more than " It ' s that thing from that show , and here ' s how the SCP foundation would describe it ! " , and they got eventually deleted . However , Clef ' s " Project Crossover " is a challenge to write a good crossover story - - or , a good bad crossover story Cruel and Unusual Death : A lot of SCPs cause this . Cryptic Background Reference : Some things on the site refer to SCPs and reports that are absent , creating this effect because they have n ' t been included in these partial archives or because were deleted in Retcons , cut for being badly conceived , or banned contributors took their ball and went home . Cult : Many are known enemies of The Foundation and many worship / created different objects . Examples include : Church of the Broken God : A cross of Clock Punk Machine Worship , as the name implies they worship a broken mechanical god . They claim that SCP - 882 is the " heart " of their god . They also show interest in SCP - 217 SCP - 271 . The implications of a union between these objects is disturbing . The Serpent ' s Hand : This group considers The Foundation to be unenlightened , they embrace the use of Paranormal objects and hold humanoid SCP in high esteem . The note in this security breach references " Black Surtr " as well . The group responsible for the creation / impregnation of SCP - 231 , " The Children Of The Scarlet King " . In the ( currently in progress ) Foundation Tale Pulsar , multiple cults over the years have attempted to summon something called the " Bringer " , all these cults have ended up being destroyed in one way or another . The plurality cult , which resides in SCP - 453 . Cute Kitten : Two of the joke entries ; the Pufferkittens and the Portal to the Plane of Infinite Kittens . Somewhat averted with the decidedly non - joke A Harmless Kitten Cuteness Proximity Pufferkittens . WARNING : Classified Euclid on account of having enough d ' aaaaaaw to disrupt normal staff activities . . . .are not to be weaponized . And someone went ahead and did in SCP - 914 . Grenadepuffs ! ! ! Cut Himself Shaving Kondraki : [ Inarticulate scream of rage . ] [ It is determined that this is the point where Dr . Clef accidentally fell out of his chair and struck his head nine times against the corner of the desk , fracturing his skull and snapping his neck between the second and third vertebrae . ] Darker and Edgier - The Never Hungry Man was changed from an SCP who was released back into the general public when his condition posed no threat to a man with worms that have faces in his stomach that leap out at people . In fact , this is typically the fate of many SCP drafts whom are said to be either too bland or not have a good hook . Then again , sometimes there ' s too much senseless edginess , and some needs to be Dummied Out Deal with the Devil SCP - 738 . " Please come back anytime . I have n ' t had so much fun in years . Deconstruction : SCP - 239 and her fate is a deconstruction of Haruhi Suzumiya - style Reality Warpers As well as the Termination Report of SCP - 531 Delivery Stork : Horrifically inverted by SCP - 918 Digging Yourself Deeper : Happens to the Janitor in his psychological evaluation about the availability of Segway golf carts . Disproportionate Retribution : The shadow law - enforcer spawned by various SCP - 1002 objects wo n ' t stop until the offender is punished . Said punishment includes removal and severing of fingers for littering You do n ' t want to know what happens to the more severe offenders . Or how the Foundation figures out which crime begets which punishment . Divide by Zero SCP - 33 is a complex math problem whose answer is a previously unknown number that destroys any piece of paper that it is written on that is n ' t a very specific shape , destroys all computer systems , and can jump to any paper or computer system within 30 meters . Doing in the Wizard Averted Trope . For a site that prides itself on clinical detachment and scientific inquiry , it is almost impossible to discover how nearly all of the SCPs actually work , where they came from , or why anyone would want to make some of them . They give it a good try , but it ' s not as important as knowing how to keep them safe and under control . If they ever came across a real wizard , they ' d measure his staff , subject him to " stress " tests to determine destructibility , and finally have some very strong words with him over the creation of Eldritch Abominations . And , of course , they ' d want to see if his magic could kill SCP - 682 . Dramatic Space Drifting SCP - 1959 is an unidentifiable cosmonaut who has been orbiting the Earth , struggling with some unseen force or thing in his suit . For over 50 years . Driven to Suicide : Commonly happens among Researchers , Agents , and D - Class personnel . Drives Like Crazy SCP - 666 - J is this trope personified . Dropped a Bridge on Him : The fate of any SCP Object which crosses The Able Line ( see Marty Stu , below ) . E - F Eldritch Abomination : The SCP Foundation ' s job is to contain or neutralize hundreds of them . The Church of the Broken God is attempting to resurrect one . Eldritch Location : Quite a few of the SCPs are this as well . Elemental Shapeshifter : One of the SCPs could turn into earth , fire , water , wind , and lightning . The End of the World as We Know It : A distressingly large number of SCP objects can cause this . Here are just a few : SCP - 008 can cause a Zombie Apocalypse SCP - 682 is an Omnicidal Maniac that ca n ' t be killed by any known means and rapidly acquires new abilities in response to anything it ' s introduced to - - more than one End of the World scenario involves it getting its hands on something that eliminates its ability to be temporarily incapacitated through massive injury . SCP - 217 and SCP - 253 are The Virus SCP - 231 - 7 is strongly believed to potentially bring one of these about if the Fetus Terrible inside her is born , which means that she must be constantly and violently [ DATA EXPUNGED ] ( Reading this may make you physically ill ) . SCP - 1548 is a sentient star that consumes everything in its path and has plans to make it to Earth . Fortunately it wo n ' t arrive for another 5000 years , but it ' s guaranteed to wipe out the Earth since the Foundation has no real way to contain a celestial body . SCP - 093 operates as a gateway into a parallel world After the End - with the implication that the threat that destroyed that world could make its way into other universes . Also , anything that can cause an XK - class End - of - the - World scenario , such as the speculation involving Dr . Clef ' s proposed SCP - 001 moving , in confluence with a breach in SCP - 995 and the opening of SCP - 616 Not just those . There ' s at least one other K - class , the CK - class Restructuring scenario , which is mentioned by Dr . Clef in relation to SCP - 239 . It does n ' t end the world outright , but the world is so different that it might as well be gone . Also terrifying is the fact that there are probably several other K - class scenarios . . . Let ' s hope they involve pufferkittens . The CK - class scenario is also mentioned regarding SCP - 140 . The longer the book grows , the longer the gruesome civilisation in the book survives in real life . Making it long enough would change modern society beyond recognition . There ' s additionally the SK - class dominance shift , which happens when a Blue and Orange Morality humanoid race comes in direct competition with homo sapiens ( i.e. we get driven to extinction ) . One of SCP - 001 ' s proposals mentions a non - zero possibility of a ZK - class Reality Failure event - in this case , a total metaphysical annihilation of the universe - should a destruction attempt prove successful . This short story explores the consequences of SC P - 173 reproducing While the above all hold true , a variety of Judeo - Christian figures like SCP - 343 and proposed SCP - 001 seem to show that canonically , Earth is doomed to end sometime in the 22nd century during Armageddon , as long as something other SCP does n ' t get to it first Even Evil Has Standards : Every once in a while members of the Foundation demonstrate that there are a very few lines they will not cross , at least not without very good reason . Examples include : Human experimentation with SCP - 439 was immediately terminated on discovering that its victims remain alive and possibly conscious SCP - 231 ' s page indicates that the Foundation is terribly , terribly guilt - ridden about it , and more than once have had to deal with agents who have tried to rescue the girls It ' s also worth pointing out that any D - class personnel who tries to " prolong " Procedure 110 - Montauk is immediately executed . Dr . Clef introduced a guest researcher to SCP - 682 . Why ? The guest researcher had introduced two children to it , one of whom was drugged , neither of whom survived , and planned on continuing . To give the new reader an idea of how great an extent of this trope this example is , Dr . Clef ' s identity is not known . The most popular theory ? He ' s Satan 05 - █ denied the undertaking of a ritual that would produce a weapon capable of neutralizing , stating " Nothing can be worth that . " SCP - 107 normally generates a rainstorm from any liquid poured into it ( including water , orange juice , human blood , and super glue ) , but it did n ' t work when the Foundation tested it with elemental mercury Weaponization of Grenade - class Pufferkittens is strictly prohibited . The story behind SCP - 811 ' s origin made the attending research assistant vomit . Evil Phone SCP - 145 SCP - 400 SCP - 519 Expospeak Gag Experiment Log 914 describes one of the researchers as developing " a sudden acute epistaxis " after discovering that a Rockman . EXE cartridge had turned into a Rockman . EXE H - doujin . The data extracted from SCP - 328 . To avoid Do n ' t Explain the Joke , spoilered : the data describes an ordinary human laptop computer , as described by members of a decidedly alien species who might exist in a different universe with slightly different physical laws . The aliens describing the laptop seem to belong to the alien equivalent of the SCP Foundation . To complete the joke , SCP - 328 seems to be the alien ' s version of a laptop computer , and if the Foundation ' s description of it was to make its way back to the aliens they ' d consider it to be an Expospeak Gag description of their laptop And they seem to be truly Starfish Alien types , as the mere act of a laptop emitting light manages to kill 4 researchers Extreme Omnivore : Several SCPs . A D - class who was known amongst the other Ds as " Goat " for being able to stomach the horrible food the Foundation gave them also became a true Extreme Omnivore capable of digesting rock , metal , etc . after drinking a mixture of water and SCP - 1049 - J Extranormal Institute : Any of the Foundation ' s various sites . Eye Scream : gouging out own eyes in madness is a fairy normal practice . In addition , the page for SCP - 212 includes a graphic picture of eye surgery . Two SCPs infect victims , usually by tearing out their eyeball and using it as a host , or melting their eye away and replacing it with fungi - strands ( that oddly still allow you to see ) . SCP - 750 is a pair of contact lenses . They ca n ' t be removed by the wearer ; only someone else . Oh yeah , and they make you see everything in a twisted Silent Hill - esque filter . Humans ? Humans are seen as twisted abominations . Have fun getting those out ! Fantastic Foxes : In SCP - 953 Fate Worse Than Death : Being assigned to Keter duty , or D - Class personnel . Or both at the same time . In addition , quite a few of the SCPs hand out these like candy , such as a telephone that transports you somewhere where you ' re tortured for all eternity . Fanfic : The Foundation Tales section . Feather Boa Constrictor : Wight . Fighting From the Inside : SCP - 239 is frightened of Dr . Clef and fears he will kill her for secretly using her " spells " , so her reality - warping powers make him obsessed with killing her . Later , a deleted email is found on his computer , urging the Foundation to secure her and lock - down the site before he acts on it , then changes his mind and junks the message . Fling a Light Into the Future : Inverted with SCP - 304 , amongst others . 304 appears to be a listing of the names of all world leaders , including American Presidents , Chinese Presidents , and . . . SCP O5s . Specifically , they list 63 American presidents , a redacted number of SCP O5s , and 7 names in an encoding style that has n ' t been invented yet . . . then abruptly stops . What happens in roughly 100 years to abruptly stop the list of human leadership is unknown . Formulaic Magic SCP - 033 Four Is Death : The mean number ( and default number ) of wings for Dr . Clef ' s proposed SCP - 001 has been noted to be 4 . G - H Gaiden Game Global Occult Coalition wiki is in the works , with the GOC focusing more on destruction of SCP candidate objects than studying them . Gargle Blaster SCP - 294 can make quite a few , including a literal Gargle Blaster Gender Bender SCP - 113 is a piece of red jasper that can do this upon contact with flesh of a gendered organism . SCP - 040 can do this too , if ' exposed ' to the right desire . General Ripper : General Bowe , who has attempted to weaponise both the Doves of the Peace and , by implication , the pufferkittens Generic Doomsday Villain - Averted . No matter how powerful it is , this wo n ' t include as SCP . Not even Zalgo Genius Loci SCP - 599 is looking for new citizens . Geometric Magic SCP - 259 acts as this , and no good comes of it . Groin Attack " In about half of failed transformation , partial or complete obliteration of the genitals is experienced . . . " God SCP - 343 . Also , the Abrahamic faiths seem to be right . A number of SCPs require containment procedures be performed by individuals with good standing in one of the three monotheistic religions . There is no mention of similar circumstances for Hindus or any other religion . Then there is the entry for Dr . Clef ' s proposal for SCP - 001 Of course it could just that most , if not all , of the writers for the site are from the three religions and do n ' t want to make a Theme Park Version of any of the other religions . Clef suggests that SCP - 239 might be God , but he ' s likely to be lying . ( That she ' s now being kept in an induced coma is reminiscent of the plot of Dogma . ) The GOC killed God , causing several people to feel it and leading to Nietzsche ' s God is Dead spiel . Irony points for using mages . Go Mad From the Revelation : Just count the number of times " mandatory psychiatric evaluation " appears . Go Through Me : Kondraki , Gears , Kain , and several SCPs turn out to protect SCP - 239 from Clef ' s attempt to kill her . The SCP include : SCP - 408 : A swarm of butterflies , able to turn objects invisible . Aids in turning Dr . Kondraki invisible . SCP - 091 - ARC : A sentient tree with infectious pollen . Infects Dr . Clef , causing random plant growth to sprout from him . SCP - 336 : A human - like SCP with the ability force people to do whatever she says . ( Dr . Clef counters this by shooting his ears ) SCP - 244 - ARC : Extremely advanced fighting machine . SCP - 547 : Human - like SCP with thermokinesis . Engages Dr . Clef , and causes second and third degree burns on 50 % of Dr . Clef ' s body . SCP 776 : A non - sentient die . When rolled , the die acts accordingly to the side facing up . Dr . Clef rolled the die three times . The first two times , the water droplets side came up , completely flooding the hallway . He then rolled the snowflake , causing the water to quickly freeze and barricade him from SCP - 239 . He Who Fights Monsters : A serious concern , especially in the case of SCP - 231 . In fact , this may have already happened in SCP - 231 ' s case . Fridge Logic dictates that as she will die of old age or otherwise and unleash the world - ending Eldritch Abomination she ' s pregnant with , they had better come up with something fast . The higher - ups deciding not to do anything and thereby endangering the world , and not wanting to do anything anyway , is very uncomfortably indicative of this trope . Subverted ; the article says they are indeed searching for an alternative , and the repeated [ DATA EXPUNGED ] they keep doing to her is an attempt to buy time . Double Subverted by some extremely fine print hidden in Addendum 231 - B : " Do n ' t believe it when they say they ' re trying to save her . Why would they bother ? They ' ve got exactly what they want exactly where they want it . " An unintentional meta example occurred before the Mass Edit . The site was filled with far too many Marty Stu Reality Warpers self - inserted superheroes . As a creative way to deal with this , the writers started killing off SCPs in Termination Logs . A big part of these was to try to find the most over - the - top , insanely awesome way to kill an SCP . Around the time that Dr . Kondraki rode SCP - 682 like a rodeo bull , they realized that their own Author Avatars had become the very thing they were trying to destroy . Hikikomori SCP - 237 Historical In - Joke - Several . Such as Kitty Genovese ' s murder weapon being an SCP , to all recorded instances of Spontaneous Combustion caused by a viral SCP . The explosion of Mt . St . Helens was caused by an SCP - 076 containment breach . SCP - 627 is a more obvious example than most . Look at the blacked out names and the corresponding dates . The 2009 North Korean nuclear test is implied to be the consequence of an experiment on SCP - 800 SCP - 1529 is apparently responsible for killing the first man to ever climb Mt . Everest and about half of all the people who ' ve died climbing it since . SCP - 687 apparently caused the Cleveland Torso Murders . SCP - 1180 is the coal mine fire in Centralia , Pennsylvania . Nightmare Fuel : For in - universe sufferers of , we have poor SCP - 507 , who involuntarily jumps in between alternate realities . These alternate realities run the gamut of this one and one of many horrible , horrible , horrible , horrible places . The examples given on 507 ' s page are : Someplace perfectly dark , with the sound of breathing very close by . After that he asked if he could carry a flashlight at all times . Someplace with moldy corpses all over the ground . Wait , did I say corpses ? Because they were breathing . A cave , which , upon exiting , 507 noticed two huge suns in the sky . The suns blinked , and looked at him . " So many spiders . " The dark place again . The flashlight revealed the breathing to be a man leaning into 507 ' s face so close as to almost be touching him . He had a black suit , black shades , and a Slasher Smile . " Back so soon ? " The place with telepathic plant life that screamed in his head when he picked something to eat . And then remembered his when he came back , and screamed in his head for days , so that he really needed a hug afterwards . He also is deeply paranoid of the Foundation , justifiably so , given the Foundation ended up dissecting or torturing one of his alternates who accidentally revealed he was n ' t from this universe Presumably , Procedure 110 - Montauk . SCP - 902 . There is nothing scary at first , it ' s just a box that for some reason " ticks " . It ' s at the bottom of all of the text that causes you to jump . If you signed into the site , it SAYS YOUR NAME , begging you to not , and then to open it . Out - of - universe , the point of the site High Turnover Rate : Not content with having PLENTY of Red Shirts , it is standard procedure to terminate them after a month . Holy Hand Grenade : SCP - 914 can create these . Input : 2x concussion grenades Setting : Very fine Output : A large white aerodynamic sphere , approximately 99.9 % the size and 99.99999 % the mass of the original two grenades . A twin circle pin is attached to the top . Has been nicknamed " the Holy Hand Grenade " by Iceberg , and is currently in his possession for research . Note : Recommend removing this object from Dr . Iceberg , and passing it on to a more experienced researcher . Perhaps Dr Clef , or Gears . Not Kain . Humans Are Special : Somewhat darker variation : in many cases , humans are the only things affected by SCPs . Hyper - Destructive Bouncing Ball SCP - 018 , an affront to the laws of thermodynamics - - it ' s a 6cm red ball that can bounce with 200 % efficiency . Hyperspace Is a Scary Place : many different varieties . SCP - 616 ' s original form ( and the door in the new 616 ) is a portal to a Fire and Brimstone Hell and could have been taken straight out of Event Horizon . . .merely looking at anything taken from beyond the door will make you instantly homicidal , suicidal , insane , dead , or all four . Oh , and rather counter - intuitively , allowing that door to close is the worst thing you could do . I - K - L I Did What I Had to Do : Practically every article is an example of this . Among the most stark and disturbing examples are the fates of SCP - 231 - 2 to SCP - 231 - 7 . It got to the point where one security guard was angry enough to try and get SCP - 231 - 4 out of the facility and still causes controversy to this day . I Have Many Names : Played for laughs with SCP - 507 " Although SCP - 507 has an already - established name due to its unremarkable upbringing , it seems to find entertainment in forcing those it meets to give it a nickname in lieu of divulging this information . Thus SCP - 507 will now respond to the names Tommy , Steve , Bruto , Guy , Houdini , and Grabnok the Destroyer . " Somewhat less humorously , it ' s because of multiverse versions of him occasionally popping up in his place . I ' m a Doctor , Not a Placeholder SCP - 890 , a master surgeon who only operates on machines , refuses to treat humans because he ' s " a surgeon , not a veterinarian " . Improbably High IQ Blob Monsters created by overexposure to 427 are claimed to have IQ that could possibly exceed 400 . This is discussed at length in its comments section . Everyone seems to have forgot about it though . Indy Ploy : Dr . Kondraki is a master of this ; one of his colleagues actually describes him as " A master of the Indy Ploy . " When assigned the termination of a highly dangerous insufficiently different vampire SCP . . .well : Interviewer : I have here a copy of Dr . Kondraki ' s termination procedure proposal . Step one in his plan to use cat urine and a pistol loaded with silver bullets . Backup plans two , three , four , and five are listed as , and I quote , ' Wing It , ' ' Make Something Up , ' ' Cross That Bridge When I Come To It , ' and ' Put My Head Between My Knees And Kiss My Ass Goodbye . ' Clef : [ EXPLETIVE REDACTED ] To be fair , this was a " Plan " to terminate the then SCP - 083 ; It involved breaching containment of many SCP , including several Keter class , not the least of which was , which Dr . Kondraki rode like a bucking bronco . [ EXPLETIVE REDACTED ] . Infinite Supplies : The enormous costs that are implied are at least partially explained with SCP - 294 being able to produce six hundred ounces of gold every two hours or so . Insane Admiral : General Bowe . The Internet Is for Porn SCP - 335 is 150 3.5 " floppy disks with " effectively infinite " storage space , which contain everything on the Internet . The first twelve are all the porn . Note from Dr . █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ : I believe I know where all our bandwidth is going at night . Agent █ █ █ █ ' s computer privileges should be limited until he either finds a girlfriend or learns some self control . It Got Worse : A feature of many articles . Often indicated by strikethrough text showing the old containment procedure , followed by the incident that made it inadequate . Also how recovery reports tend to go . Katanas Are Just Better : Amusingly parodied with SCP - 572 , which makes the user suicidally overconfident of their warrior skills . Kicked Upstairs : The Foundation has been known to assign especially moronic personnel ( such as a researcher who proposed that SCP - 447 be used to take out ) to Keter duty . Kick the Dog : The Foundation does more than a few things that are , simply put , quite horrible . Whether they ' re examples of this or simply tragic - but - necessary is up to the individual Language of Truth SCP - 1206 causes people to speak a language that expresses exactly what they are thinking in a word . It is impossible to lie while speaking it , which often drives a wedge between people who speak it . Laser - Guided Amnesia : Class A Amnesiacs . Lawful Stupid SCP 1434 causes not only the local police to act like this but starts enacting increadbly stupid laws . It gets to the point where the police will kill someone for not cosuming drinks with less then 3 percent gasoline in it . A Lighter Shade of Grey : The Foundation considers itself this . See also , Necessary Evil Well - Intentioned Extremist Lightmare Fuel : Any time [ DATA EXPUNGED ] is used as a Noodle Incident rather than for horror . Literal Genie : The reactions to commands after having been exposed to SCP - 061 SCP - 810 also applies , even though there is n ' t an actual genie . It tells the user " Ask what you will , and you shall never want for it . " Whatever you ask for , you ' ll never have a desire for it ever again . Do n ' t ask for food , because you ' ll starve without even realizing you ' re hungry . Be sure to use the word " coffee " when asking SCP - 294 for a cup of coffee . Requesting a " cup of Joe " results in something . . .less than pleasant . The Little Shop That Was n ' t There Yesterday : Site 19 , according to one of the propositions for SCP - 001 . Lost in Transmission : Otherwise humanity might be exposed to [ DATA EXPUNGED ] with the plunger . The Lost Woods SCP - 416 is an infinite one that you ca n ' t leave on foot . SCP - 1660 is a portal to one that is enclosed by a barrier of an unknown material . M Machine Worship : The Church of the Broken God , one of the organisations that opposes the SCP . Macross Missile Massacre : SCP - 792 is a sentient one . Mad Artist : The group responsible for SCP - 1018 SCP - 1057 and some other anomalous objects uses " Are We Cool Yet ? " as a calling card . They seem to consider what they do to be art . Man - Eating Plant SCP - 506 SCP - 1001 as well . Man of Wealth and Taste : Clef actually uses this line to introduce himself to a Reality Warper he ' s about to kill . Considering almost everyone in the Foundation finds him uncouth and disgusting , he was probably just being wry considering certain . . .implications about his nature The Men in Black : A standard tactic for certain infiltration procedures , particularly retrieving items from the UIU . Also the standard dress for agents when interviewing or interrogating civilians in the field . Mercy Kill : Several of these were attempted for the victims of SCP - 145 They all failed . The Messiah : If believes someone is good , then they will be because she ' s a ( and maybe , just maybe , literally The Messiah , as in God ) . SCP - 343 is omnipotent and claims to be God . He ' s also mischievous and people like him a lot , though he ' s pissed off a doctor by deleting his orders . What doctor ? The Metric System Is Here to Stay : The official policy of the site is to use SI units , precisely to invoke the " future / science " feel of this trope ( for American visitors , anyway ) . Apparently , this rubbed some editors the wrong way , and you can find a little Bothering by the Book : Entries that were obviously written using round numbers in the American Customary System , then blindly translated into the exact metric equivalent . Thus , for instance , one particular Bigger on the Inside Eldritch Location has a corridor that extends 182.88 meters ( 600.00 feet ) past where the edge of the structure should be . Another one automatically converts any descriptions of its dimensions to American customary measurements . Mind Virus : These are usually classified as " Memetic Hazards " . Mirror Chemistry SCP - 739 , a small closet with mirrored interiors . Closing a person in the booth once will flip all their amino - chains . Closing them in twice will switch them back , but repeating the experiment too many times with the same subject leads to something else emerging . As a fun side benefit , locking sugar packets in the closet will flip them as well . The scientist specifically notes that they would make excellent diet sweeteners . Mismatched Eyes : Delacroix . Mix - and - Match Critters This former cattle barn Mobile Maze SCP - 432 is a maze located inside a cabinet . The maze is stationary as long as the door is open , but if you close the door , the whole thing moves . Mood Whiplash SCP - 387 ' s experiment logs , specifically the last two . In the second - to - last , Dr . Arch writes about the " improved morale and attitude " as a result of playing with the SCP ( Animated Legos , for those who ca n ' t be bothered to look ) and requests all staff are allowed access , which is approved . The immediate next experiment involves placing Megablocks ( A knockoff brand of Legos ) near SCP - 387 . The result ? " everything constructed of 387 stopped moving , turned slowly towards the Megablocks and [ EXPUNGED ] . " Addendum 387 - 6 : Jesus fucking Christ . - Dr . Arch Said result might be justified in a Noodle Incident mentionned as the following : 119 ) As funny as Incident 387 / 682 - █ █ was , Dr . Bright is not allowed unsupervised access to SCP - 387 . Agents are still trying to figure out how an animate model of was so invulnerable , despite being made of just plastic blocks . More Dakka : Referenced on the " the - things - dr - bright - is - not - allowed - to - do - at - the - foundation " page - one of the phrases the SCP ' s motto is not is " We always need more Dakka ! " Additionally , one of the rules on that page is that Dr . Bright is no longer allowed to offer the solution of " Use more guns " to any problem . There ' s an SCP that is a bottomless magazine ( or clip , or mag clip , or speedloader , or . . . ) that fits into any weapon , and there ' s a chance that a shot coming from it does something odd ( freezes targets , fires Magic Bullets , randomly explodes a body part not aimed at , et cetera ) . COLD HARPER Mother of a Thousand Young SCP - 597 SCP - 354 Multiple Choice Past : Dr . Clef gets at least one new origin every time he ' s in a story . Previous claims have included Satan , Adam , and a who blew up the space shuttle Challenger in childhood by casually wondering what would happen , all in the same story . Notable in that these are all relayed by Clef himself , who is a self - admitted liar Although the first one actually has some evidence to support it . Murky , potentially deceptive evidence , but evidence nonetheless . Bear in mind , though - Kondraki did n ' t believe the third possibility , but did immediately believe the first despite that one being somewhat less plausible . Why would that be ? Was it his emotional state at the time ? Did he just learn to take Clef ' s words as automatically false ? Or did Consummate Liar Clef just pull a Sarcastic Confession Also the case with SCP - 001 . There are several articles with that number . None of them may be true , some of them may be decoys for the real SCP - 001 , or all of them may be true . For Example : Mundane Utility : So many . " It has come to the attention of the higher level personnel that someone has been stealing SCP - 283 for use as a paperweight . " " It has come to my attention that several personnel have used SCP - 041 as a ad - hoc ' she likes me / she likes me not ' detector . This is one of the most appalling things I ' ve ever heard . Are we safeguarding potentially world - destroying objects or are we in third grade ? " " I would like to remind all personnel that SCP - 038 is not , I repeat , not a toy . It should not be used for cloning car keys , movies , music or items from the vending machines . " If I see you one more time using SCP - 105 as a device to punch or stab people over the Internet , I will personally make sure you spend the rest of your days at SCP in Keter duty . ( mind you SCP - 670 would arguably do a better job . ) Note to all male staff : any attempts to place genitalia in the small end [ of SCP - 786 ] will result in termination and loss of employment . â € ” Dr . Clef Note from Dr . Klein - SCP personnel below Level 3 are now banned from handling SCP - 500 . This is not to be used to cure a hangover . Get AIDS and then ask permission . Sometimes the organization actually does it themselves , like moving to the break room to save money on drinks A large portion of the anomalous items recovered that have not been destroyed are either in use at various sites or in the offices of various researchers . Murder Is the Best Solution : Distressingly common , and considering what the Foundation deals with , distressingly justified . The Foundation takes no chances . The Foundation ( both in - universe and meta ) is trying to stop needless " civilians terminated " for Safe objects , though . Murderous Mannequin SCP - 847 . Also the original SCP , SCP - 173 . N Name ' s the Same : Meet The Boogieman , aaaand The Bogeyman Names to Run Away From Really Fast : A group calling itself " The Chaos Insurgency " can not possibly be up to any good . Neither can the Church of the Broken God . Nanomachines SCP - 204 - 1 SCP - 784 Necessarily Evil : The SCP Foundation recognizes that it does very bad things , for the greater good of humanity . Never Heard That One Before can take any liquid ( or anything that can become a liquid ) within its unknown range and pour it into a plastic cup . One request was so common that it lead to a special note : * * Addendum [ SCP - 294ad ] : * * In order to stem the daily tide of attempts , it is now officially noted that keying in " two girls " gives the standard " OUT OF RANGE " error message . Come up with something more original next time . Never Mess with Granny Grammie Knows the Baba Yaga Nice Job Breaking It , Hero : A number of SCPs were either benign or dormant until the Foundation got their hands on them . It ' s only after some ill - conceived test is performed on it that it begins to become " uncooperative " . And , when you ' re containing a minor deity , you do NOT want to make him uncooperative . Nobody Poops : Averted . " No . Just . . . No " Reaction : 076 ' s reaction to being requested to approach one candidate for SCP - 001 . Any time experiments are cancelled on SCPs that violate common sense or would possibly replicate something nasty . No Name Given : The O5 . Most of the time , even their identification numbers are blanked out . Often , researchers have their blanked out . D - Class , being expendable , do n ' t have names , just numerical designations . Non - Indicative Name : This tends to come up a lot when discussing the Foundation ' s means of categorizing SCPs , mainly because when a Foundation operative says an object is " safe " , they mean " as long as nobody pokes it the wrong way everything will be fine . " A hydrogen bomb is " safe " by those standards . Noodle Implements : Some of the SCP objects become this , when SCP numbers are listed in incident reports or other articles ; occasionally the SCP with that designation will appear completely irrelevant to the context in which it was referenced . That ' s often due to the original SCP being removed , and a new one filed under that number . Also , the FAQ ' s tongue - in - cheek explanation of what Procedure 110 - Montauk is consists of a bunch of [ DATA REDACTED ] s interspersed with mentions of an elephant , a bed of live cobras , Barbara Streisand ' s Greatest Hits , something that is over seventeen feet long , a staple remover , a feather boa that absolutely must be black ( and not dark blue ) , and " plutonium splitting the atom . " Updated to " An amateur shadowcast of the Rocky Horror picture Show . " : Every single time you see " [ DATA EXPUNGED ] " or " [ REDACTED ] " ; it seems like the whole idea is to have at least one such incident per SCP . The unspecified reason why SCP - 447 must never come into contact with dead bodies is especially noodly and is occasionally referred to elsewhere ( as seen below , it scares O5 - 2 shitless ) . SCP - 231 is essentially a played for Squick rather than laughs . Related to this is the notorious " Procedure 110 - Montauk " . Whatever you think it is , it ' s much , MUCH worse . . . and even then , it ' s much worse than that The uncensored reports of demonstrate exactly what could be behind every , and why you really do n ' t want to know . On the other hand , it also demonstrates how important a [ DATA EXPUNGED ] can be for an article , as many people found the uncensored 835 reports to be quite disappointing . Most of the items on the list of things Dr . Bright is not allowed to do at the Foundation imply quite a few such incidents coming from just one guy . According to SCP - 963 and its implications , " just one guy " is n ' t an accurate term . No OSHA Compliance : Played straight , subverted and averted in different sections of the site . In the SCP articles themselves , the containment procedures are designed to minimize danger , risk , and loss of life , even of the utterly expendable D - Class . In the testing logs , the prison - recruited D - class personnel are regularly treated to definitely unethical and probably lethal experimentation , often in cases where little useful information is likely to result , and are often subjected to the machinations of some of the more diabolical SCPs purely for the amusement of No Sell : Former SCP - 151 - D exhibited this along with other traits , shrugging off effects of other SCPs just because . His termination log consists much of the same , until he ' s finally destroyed . . . rather messily . Not Using the Z Word - The entry for SCP - 008 . Sames goes for Nothing Is Scarier : The guidelines for writing new SCP reports encourage vagueness so that the reader fills in the horror for themselves , which is more effective than detailing something that may just fall flat . Judging by the details of one uncensored article , everything behind those [ DATA EXPUNGED ] is worse than you think SCPs SCP - 055 SCP - 100 are good examples of that . SCP - 579 . What is it ? We do n ' t know . Whatever it is , the SCP Administration felt it was so dangerous that even the description of it is gone . They even killed all the people working on it , save 7 agents that act as advisers in case it ever gets loose . It ' s so bad that it ' s currently stored in an alternate universe - - after having destroyed at least 4 other containment sites , with a very specific containment procedure , and if it ever fails , even for a minute , policy is to destroy the alternate universe to contain it . And if that fails ? In the event of an unsuccessful Action 10 - Israfil - B , no further action will be necessary . [ DATA EXPUNGED ] Nuclear Option : Most ( if not all ) Sites have on - site nuclear warheads , to be detonated in the event of a breach by a Keter - class SCP or Site failure . But they are actually afraid to try it on because it might not only survive , it could become even stronger . Number of the Beast : While [ 1 ] is not overtly Satanic , is decidedly more hellish , and has clergy on staff when necessary . The actual religious requirements are invented , though . O - P Oh Crap : Putting a replica of the plates from the Voyager probes ( which were meant to contact extraterrestrials ) into on the " Very Fine " setting results in a cell phone with 500 numbers that do not match any on Earth . The first one is labelled " - Home Number . " The scientist recommends destroying it as quickly as possible because no one should ever want to find the place that SCP - 682 came from . ( It turns out that , when dialed just calls a cell phone that was in SCP - 682 ' s cell . No one knows how it got there . ) Omniscient Morality License - A lot of these researchers are worse than Class - D personnel ( Who are " recruited " from prison . ) Some get demoted to Class D Our Angels Are Different Shockingly averted . The Foundation goes to extensive lengths to document the fact that Dr . Clef ' s proposal for SCP - 001 is indeed a bona fide Judeao - Christian Angel without any major subversions . It does however play more to the descriptions in Holy texts as opposed to cultural depictions , for instance appearing to have as many as 108 wings and being made of fire . Played Straight , though , with SCP - 469 . Disturbingly straight . Your mileage may vary with SCP - 861 Our Mermaids Are Different SCP - 327 Panacea SCP - 500 , pills that cure any disease , but there ' s just about fifty of them and they ' re impossible to replicate perfectly ( though knockoffs can work if you ' re lucky ) . Later , SCP - 427 : the Lovecraftian Locket was developed that has eclipsed it in use . Parody Sue - Several . Most notably , SCP - 10101 , SCP - 777 - j , and SCP - 316 . 316 was later terminated with extreme enthusiasm by the resident Wonka . Perfectly Cromulent Word SCP - 566 contains these . Person of Mass Destruction - - Pretty much every human housed by the Foundation ( and maybe the researchers ) . Pet the Dog - Most sentient SCPs are accomodated reasonably well , depending on their potential danger , ability to escape , and willingness to cause harm . The most ( relatively ) harmless are given furnished rooms and are generally given whatever they request , as long as it does n ' t violate security . They are , of course , not allowed to leave the facility . SCP - 103 was the only SCP that the Foundation actually released . It says something about the Foundation ' s Well Intentioned Extremism that a man who ' s only power is that he never gets hungry is the only SCP ever let go without being terminated ( and even that is , according to the comments , a controversial decision ) . He got retconned to having worms in his stomach that fly out and eat people and never having been released . Admittedly , some of the SCPs are given the best care possible . Every effort is made not to upset the autistic girl , for example , and the harmless and friendly living eyeballs have free run of their site . And one of the first tests of the vending machine was " something Cassie will like , " Cassie being a mentally normal young woman who exists in 2 - D . Pieces of God - That particular faction ' s not called " Church Of The Broken God " for nothing . Power Perversion Potential - SCP - 294 is a vending machine that can produce twelve ounces of just about anything as long as it ' s liquid . A security guard started using it to produce and sell heroin and meth before being caught . Pretty Butterflies SCP - 408 , a sapient flock of color - changing , illusion - creating butterflies . Produce Pelting SCP - 504 is a breed of tomato that throws itself if someone cracks a bad joke . If the joke is bad enough , it will break the sound barrier . Item : Three mature SCP - 504 tomatoes , one for each test subject . Subject : After the introduction to the following news item , " Bomb blows hole in Lenin statue " , the three following jokes were made . Test Subject 1 : Ooh , that ' s gonna leave a Marx . Result : Tomato number one ' twitched ' , but did not displace from its original location . Test Subject 2 : BBC is just Stalin the good news . Result : Tomato clocked at 152 mph . Chipped tooth and hairline jaw fracture . Test Subject 3 : That blows . Result : Tomato clocked at [ REDACTED ] . Subject is hospitalized with a massive skull fracture . Interestingly enough , when told The Funniest Joke of All Time from Monty Python ' s Flying Circus , it exploded . And when shown a recent episode of Saturday Night Live , high - speed photography showed that the tomato changed velocity several times ( including a brief jump backward ) , as if unable to decide whether the sketch was genuinely lame or just " bad " in an ironic sense Public Domain Artifact Spring Cleaning , a story involving a bunch of these . R - S Reality Warping Is Not a Toy Rage Against the Author S . Andrew Swann ' s SCP - 001 proposal . Rage Against the Heavens : For the Global Occult Coalition , one of the Foundation ' s rival organizations , if God exists , then it ' s their job to kill it Red Shirts : The Class D ' s , of course .

Reality Retcon : The " Big Bloop , a Real Life unexplained extremely - loud underwater sound , was caused by SCP - 169 , an enourmous undersea creature which is at least 1,000 km in length . The Foundation had a spy in the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration who tried to prevent the public from learning of the Bloop , but failed . Retcon : The Mass Edit , which was basically the wiki admins purging some of the more dubious entries and retconning out some of the more ludicrous ( and humorous ) aspects of the Backstory . ( See below . ) Ret - Gone : When Fishmonger ( the writer ) was banned , he demanded to have all of his characters and stories to be removed from the SCP Wiki . Some of his more famous characters were referenced in many articles . This left many gaps . And , before that , all of SCPs deleted during the Mass Edit . To make things even more confusing , since the numbers for Ret - Gone SCPs were freed up , the wiki wound up with new SCPs under old numbers . Rock of Limitless Water : Inverted with SCP - 402 , which absorbs limitless water . SCP - 045 is a straight example , producing water when exposed to nitrogen in an environment with less than 380 atmospheres of pressure . Room 101 SCP - 100 This is also possibly a subversion of the obvious reference , since the actual SCP - 101 is relatively tame : it ' s a bag which eats things and is apparently mostly used for trash disposal . Running Gag : [ DATA EXPUNGED ] On a not so funny note , that may be to KEEP you from gagging . DO NOT allow SCP - 447 - 2 to come into contact with dead bodies ! It eventually gets to the point that all of the researchers mention their fear of it coming into contact with dead bodies in the most unlikely of circumstances ( such as dead bodies drinking milk ) . And other forces seem to play on that fear , such as when SCP - 914 transforms a dead body into SCP - 447 - 2 . The real reason for this fear is that Doctor Alistair is very afraid of dead bodies and he ' s the one in charge . So he made up crap to get away with it and it took a life of it ' s own . One ( non - canon ) story actually DOES describe some of the adverse effects of SCP - 447 touching a dead body . In the aftermath , a dimensional rift opened up and dragged Dr . Clef into an alternate reality . There ' s also how the discovery of any SCP being potentially lethal inevitably leads to someone wondering if it could be used to kill And any object that produces or transforms other objects ( ala the vending machine and 914 ) will inevitably produce something shaped like SCP - 682 . Dr . King and his appleseeds That the common typo of SCP , SPC , is an Alternate Universe version of the Foundation , the S hark P unching C enter . Santa Claus : An addendum to , a nine year old Note from Dr . █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ , dated 12 / 26 / 04 : Who the hell thought it would be a good idea to tell her about " Santa Claus " and then tell her that it was just a story ? ! Now we have another potential SCP to deal with , but we ca n ' t catch him because he is " magic " . Savage South : One of the non - SCP - but - still - weird - objects was " A men ' s Western - style hat which , when worn , causes the wearer to compulsively tell jokes that are racist or otherwise offensive to those within earshot . Incinerated with considerable enthusiasm . " Schmuck Bait : After Dr . Clef tells everyone not to let SCP - 447 - 2 touch dead bodies , the test log does n ' t last for half a dozen entries before someone tries it on a dead body . Then the researchers decide to get their revenge by throwing Clef into the bathtub . It does nothing , and he tells them that " after you clean this up you will all be missed " . Science Destroys Magic Science Is Wrong The Missing Number . We missed a number . Whenever it interacts with anything electronic or math we use , the number breaks it . Missing Number you say ? Scrapbook Story Sealed Evil in a Can : SCP - 076 - 1 , amongst others , is one such can . It contained SCP - 076 - 2 , but it was easily unsealed ( it was just a stone coffin ) , and when SCP - 076 - 2 started working for the Foundation , it became little more that 076 - 2 ' s respawn point . Later played straight during the great purge - - 076 - 2 was retconned into being completely Ax Crazy after all , and after they ran out of things for him to do , he started killing all humans on sight . They had to detonate a nuclear bomb and entomb 076 - 1 under the bedrock under the ocean . SCP - 231 is an interesting case , as the SCP is the can that the evil is sealed inside . And the Foundation will do whatever it takes to keep said evil sealed up . SCP - 911 is a can you can easily end up sealed into . Sealed Good in a Can : Subverted . Any attempts to seal SCP - 343 are basically futile , and he ' s only there because he wants to be . He ' s also working on some scheme of his own , and outright deleted a doctor who had become wise to his manipulations from reality . Proposed SCP - 001 is likewise impossible to seal . Series Mascot appears to have assumed this role , as witnessed by the protests on the site forums whenever anyone suggests killing it off for good . SCP - 076 may also qualify . The original one was SCP - 173 Serious Business : The site itself maintains quality by treating each wiki edit like a live Claymore mine . Averted with the Cliche List , in which a serious topic ( Cliches writers probably should n ' t copy ) is written in something approaching 4Chan - style . Of course , you ' re still supposed to take it seriously . Shoo Out the Clowns : Happened in several stages . It all started when one of the writers became concerned about the wiki moving away from its original creepypasta purpose , so he came up with a story where his fictional counterpart tries to take down a reality warper who seemed to become popular with fandom simply because she was a cute little girl . Ironically , this had the opposite effect , as it ultimately led to decommissions - in - continuity purges of badly designed , Mary Suish SCPs . Writers competed with each other over who could pull off the most over - the - top decommissions . Before long , admins got worried that they allowed things to get too far and tried to Shoo Out the Clowns the second time . While the admins ultimately decided not to disavow the over - the - top elements altogether , they are making a deliberate effort to bring their fictional counterparts back down to earth , got rid of some problematic SCPs , took out the funny bits from many remaining articles and made it their official policy to avoid that sort of thing in the future . The closest thing we have to an in - story explanation is that this was a long overdue reaction to the lack of oversight created when the military elements in the Foundation leadership left . The processes are still ongoing . See this forum thread for more info . Also , " Chowderclef " is an official Retcon of all of Dr . Clef ' s quirky escapades . . .sort of . Clef ( the writer ) ultimately decided to be ambiguous about it and let readers decide for themselves whether or not the escapades still count . Shout - Out Butterflies ?

SCP - 750 May also be a reference to Saya no Uta SCP - 701 , " The Hanged King ' s Tragedy " takes quite a few inspirations from The King in Yellow Dr Gerald ' s Personnel File has a note from another SCP operator who mentions loading up " my waifu " , his shotgun , with bolo rounds to pay him a visit .

Many of these require that rooms are constructed in ways to counteract / nullify different objects . And even then it ' s usually only temporary for the Keter class objects . keeps breaking out . Tank Goodness SCP - 516 , a sentient T - 55 main battle tank . Interestingly this is one of the more benign sentient SCPs , being unwilling to fire on unarmed or nonthreatening targets . When threatened by an armed D - class who was handcuffed to another , unarmed D - class , it even precisely aimed a shot to kill the shooter without seriously harming the unarmed target . Though apparently , it did decide to autonomously fire on a D - class who was apparently guilty of treason in the country the tank came from . SCP - 802 as well , although it ' s substantially less intelligent . Take Our Word for It : Liberal use of [ DATA EXPUNGED ] keeps us from being horrified ( or disappointed ) by the true nature of [ REDACTED ] . Take That SCP - 4444 is basically a Take That directed at Gaia Online ' s SCP Roleplay Guild . ( Clef found it horribly un - clinical in tone and rife with Mary Sues . ) killed an Agent Gallagher for being an Otaku Clef ( the writer ) once came across a Marty Stu Reality Bender that annoyed him so much that he had his fictional counterpart team up with Dr . Kondraki to kill it very thoroughly . This set a precedent for where this became a standard method of disposing of egregiously overpowered Mary Sues ( at least until the Mass Edit ) . Odd how all of the entries under " Take That " were written by Clef . . . Anyone who read his recollections of the events ( see Characters page ) will know that there is a reason for that . SCP - 1059 is a Take That against SCP writers who use too many Censor Boxes Tempting Fate : The designation SCP - 048 appears to be " cursed " ; any item given that number tends gets destroyed , stolen , lost or decommissioned , so it ' s been officially retired . Dr . Cortez thought this was stupid and everyone was " just being pussies " , so he reassigned it . The result ? Addendum 2 : SCP - 048 , [ DATA EXPUNGED ] , was accidentally thrown into the trash this morning and lost . In an unrelated incident , Dr . Cortez ' s arms were accidentally traumatically amputated in a horrific lunchroom blender accident . SCP - 048 closed . - O5 - 11 There Are No Therapists : Inverted with regard to SCP - 076 - 2 and several higher Foundation personnel that are . . . less than stable . There are PLENTY of Foundation therapists . The subjects in questions just do n ' t really want anything to do with them . Deliberately avoided with SCP - 231 - 7 .

And subverted in the same : containment procedures for SCP - 231 require staff to undergo psychological counseling on a regular basis . There Was a Door : In " Pulsar " , Valentine Delacroix unnecessarily kicks down the door to Dr . Vanheissen ' s office much to the surprise of the people inside . . .

They Would Cut You Up : If it was n ’ t for the fact that they could n ’ t keep studying you afterwards . . . " Oh . Bugger . Things Man Was Not Meant to Know : [ DATA EXPUNGED ] In a different sense , " memetic " objects can alter behavior , personality , or physical integrity just by being perceived . Troperiffic : The SCP Foundation wiki is a site devoted to deconstructing the Urban Fantasy genre . There are over a thousand objects . Each of them deconstructs or plays straight at least one trope , mainly more . Tropes Will Ruin Your Life : Prolonged exposure to SCP - 4445 can cause " marked psychological changes " including limited clairvoyance a tendency to lapse into impenetrable jargon and " mild to moderate dependence " . Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny : in - universe : If anything is lethal , it will sooner or later be put against SCP - 173 actually managed to beat SCP - 682 but failed to kill it , and the staff have stopped repeats . Unobtainium : SCP - 148 , an alloy capable of blocking telepathic suggestions . Unstoppable Force Meets Immovable Object : SCP - 225 . They really do n ' t want to find out what would happen if these two objects ever collided . They ' re drawing up planetary evacuation plans just in case . Viewers Are Goldfish : Comes into play for anyone coming into close proximity with SCP - 634 . As an added bonus , the SCP just happens to be an actual goldfish . W - Y Was Once a Man : More than a few examples ; for instance , SCP - 811 . SCP - 939 is a subspecies of humanity that mutates around the age of 10 , up to that point being identical to human children . They start out by removing all their skin and eventually their old head detaches and falls off , whereupon they eat their old skin and head , having become a predator species reliant on cannibalism . Weaksauce Weakness SCP - 723 - D , a boring Nigh Invulnerable man , managed to survive a scad of excessively lethal tactics , and in the end succumbing to peanut allergies . We Have Reserves : The general treatment of Class D personnel . Especially evident with testing for SCP - 504 , where it was discovered that recordings worked just as well as people , yet whoever was overseeing the test continued using people , apparently just because he did n ' t like them ( although it ' s at least noted that he would be reprimanded for it ) . For every person teleported to the moon with as much as they can carry using SCP - 120 ( just 37kg / 82lb ) , five were sent to Lagrangian points in the middle of outer space . The Foundation now has a fully functioning moonbase . Well - Intentioned Extremist : The Foundation , putting it lightly . The Foundation considers the Global Occult Coalition to be Well Intentioned Extremists , because by destroying SCP objects they are risking both destroying any chance of gaining knowledge from the objects and eliminating something humanity might really , really need in the future . And in return , the GOC does n ' t care for the SCP Foundation , because even if they ' re secretly using SCPs to take over the world using the Chaos Insurgency as a proxy , they ' re keeping around a huge stockade of objects that do not play well with reality . What Measure Is a Mook ? : Canon dictates that the Foundation execute D - Class personnel monthly , but there are many arguments out - of - canon if this is canon or not . Whatever the case , several SCPs and projects have been started with the express purpose of cloning D - Classes or even making fully - grown , fully intelligent humans from scratch . When All You Have Is a Hammer Inverted . If something is lethal , they will at least suggest trying to kill with it . Played straight with everything the Foundation keeps stuffing into 914 They will use SCP - 447 ' s slime on everything , as long as it does n ' t involve dead bodies If they find a SCP that converts ( The Clockworks ) or produces ( The Coffee Machine ) a lot of things , they will end up testing it on everything Who Wants to Live Forever ? SCP - 138 Dr . Bright . Also , implied by SCP - 1030 ' s statement about its orgin . A Wizard Did It : averted , because they do n ' t spend a lot of time figuring out how the object became SCP , magically or not . However , there are a lot of " SCP did it " , especially when they ca n ' t explain how can the object work that way . In an in - universe example , nine year old was told she was a witch to manage her powers . This improved her morale and " made her believe that she is unable to use her abilities outside of a pre - approved list of " spells " given to her by the Foundation . " ( It did n ' t really work out in the end , though . ) The GOC apparently employs mages . The World Is Always Doomed : If you take all the SCPs as canon , the world is doomed in over a hundred different ways . World of Silence : World Without Man has the ability to do this . The worst part is that this was the creators ' intent . You Are Number Six : Every humanoid SCP is referred to by their designated number . Most of them do n ' t mind this . You Can not Grasp the True Form SCP - 55 , the self - keeping secret . Everything about it is unknown , except that you ca n ' t know anything about it . The SCP will erase any memories that pertain to it from the minds of intelligent humans who observe it . Its very image , copied onto photographs or drawings , will also become impossible to remember or describe within seconds of looking at it . Any scientific readings about it will be forgotten immediately after viewing them . There ' s only one hitch . It will not prevent you from remembering what it is , provided you can be reminded you ever looked at it at all . You Dirty Rat SCP - 731 is a manhole cover . Rats are involved too . It is Way Creepier Than It Sounds SCP - 798 is more lonely but no less weird . Zombie Apocalypse The Virus in this scenario ( it ' s luckily been avoided so far ) . We See You Seeing Us Seeing You Too .

http://alltheweigh.com/2012/02/can-someone-my-size-have-a-traditional-mri/ | Weigh - In weight loss Can Someone My Size Have A Traditional MRI ? Kenlie February 2 , 2012 49 Comments I have a few questions for you today , but first , let ’ s talk about weigh - in day . It ’ s today , and I ’ m ready . I ’ ve taken a few peeks at my weight through the week , and I ’ m not expecting to see a loss . It ’ s frustrating because I ’ ve exercised hard all week , and my eating habits have been great ( with the exception of a few minutes last week . ) And while I ’ m not perfect , my week Over the last seven days I completed 5 miles on the elliptical then completed 6 miles a couple of days later . I worked out before the sun came up , and I got it done last night even though I just did n ’ t feel like it . I ’ m also going to appreciate the fact that I ’ ve found new vegetables to love and new ways to prepare and consume them . I ’ m going to adjust my workouts , continue to refine my eating choices and look forward to another healthy week . A Facebook friend reached out to me about her nervousness over having an MRI next week . She ’ s about my size , and she ’ s not sure what to expect . Has anyone my size or larger ever had an MRI ? Does someone my size have to worry about fitting into a traditional machine ? I ’ ve read that the general MRI tube can hold over 400 pounds , but my only experience with it has been the open option . The open MRI is obviously a good idea for obese patients , but it ’ s not always available . Do any of you have experience in a regular MRI machine ? Should someone under 300 pounds be worried about fitting ? The test is nerve - racking even without the added fears of fitting . I hope you ’ ll join me in wishing her a positive and healthy outcome . Like this : Like Be the first to like this . MRI obesity plus - size Self - acceptance Women ' s Health Previous Post Next Post 49 Comments Reply Nikke Brown February 2 , 2012 at 3 : 49 am Other than weight loss , are you measuring inches lost ? As to your question , I work in a hospital with a traditional size MRI and I ’ ve taken a patient there who was 368lbs . He fit in and was able to do the complete MRI . As for any bigger , I am unsure . Reply Kenlie February 2 , 2012 at 1 : 23 pm I do measure my inches , but I have n ’ t measured them lately . Right now , I ’ m much more concerned about the numbers going down on the scale . But I feel good about my actions this week so I ’ ll have to remind myself of that after my weigh - in . Tammy February 2 , 2012 at 7 : 18 am I had one MRI done , but a friend advised me to close my eyes before anything started so that I would n ’ t know how closed in I was . I took her advice , so I ca n ’ t say how much room there was . I would hope that the doctor who prescribed the MRI would have already taken his patient ’ s size into consideration . Best wishes for a good outcome from the MRI . February 2 , 2012 at 1 : 24 pm I would hope that the doctor would do that , but I know from experience that they do n ’ t always consider it . Jane at Keepingthepoundsoff . com February 2 , 2012 at 7 : 51 am When I was about 360 I had a closed MRI . It was like being squeezed into a sausage casing . I do not have anxiety or fear of closed spaces so I was okay with it . I barely fit . It really depends on where the weight is . I am pear shaped and I fit . An apple might not fit the same way . The worse part was the radioloist ’ s report . To cover their asses in case they miss anything , they comment heavily on the extreme amount of fat on the patient and what it blocks and what it makes everything else look like . I think that report helped me stay focused on losing weight at that time – I never wanted to read another report about my insides that contained phrases like fat encased liver . . . . February 2 , 2012 at 1 : 25 pm Wow . .that ’ s awful … .but I hear you . I do n ’ t want that either . Let ’ s keep moving . . = ) Tammy Ortagus February 2 , 2012 at 9 : 05 am Just tell them to request an open MRI machine like I do . I ’ ve never been in one like the pic because I ’ m clausterphobic ( sp ? ) . February 2 , 2012 at 1 : 28 pm Good idea , but they ’ re not always available … Terri Byrnes April 12 , 2016 at 5 : 18 pm I ’ ve attempted an open mri for lumbar spine and could n ’ t do it because of the apparatus that needed to go around me … Diana McAdams February 2 , 2012 at 9 : 14 am I ’ m 5 ’ 5 ″ . Had a closed MRI @ 300 # and it was a tight fit . Had to have Valium ( I am claustrophobic ) , and still came close to panic more than once during my 40 minutes in there … .kept thinking it was going to “ get ” me because it was almost touching me all around . The noise alone is enough to drive you nuts Hope others have better news . February 2 , 2012 at 1 : 29 pm I ’ m glad I ’ m not claustrophobic . That just sounds terrible . Judith February 7 , 2012 at 10 : 37 am I am 5 ’ 8 ″ and 298lbs . They tried me in a closed Philips MRI and I would not fit . I was too wide at the shoulders . I am not generally claustrophobic , but was terrified that I would get stuck in it . I was suggested to try a Siemens MRI , which my doctor is currently looking for . Otherwise , I might have to pay for one across the border . Which I ’ m not looking forward to . Gail @ Shrinking Sisters February 2 , 2012 at 9 : 25 am I had one for my neck about 5 years ago . I was around 250ish and fit in just fine . And from what I ’ ve heard , closed MRIs are more accurate than open ones . February 2 , 2012 at 1 : 29 pm I ’ ve heard the same thing … Beth @ WeightMaven February 2 , 2012 at 10 : 12 am I ’ ve had three , all of them in an open MRI at weights around 300 or so pounds on a fairly short body . Note that an open MRI is more helpful for issues related to claustrophobia … it ’ s not really entirely open . Gail is right about open vs closed MRIs . When I had my back MRI this past fall , the ortho only had one open MRI on their list of approved vendors . What I did for mine ( having that same anxiety about fitting ) is to call the place where I was going to go to find out what their machine supported weight - wise . It ’ s not just a specific how much do you weigh issue , but also how your weight is distributed ( I ’ m a pear ) . In the second MRI I had for my knee ( when I was probably at 320 or so ) , the top of the ( open ) MRI was pressing on my stomach with the same pressure as a pair of tighter pants . Not uncomfortable , but it ’ s not like there was any space and I was a little embarrassed but the tech was really nice about it . Ultimately , newer MRI machines can accommodate larger folks easier than older ones . So I ’ d recommend calling around and finding a place that sounds like they have experience working with larger bodies . February 2 , 2012 at 1 : 31 pm Great advice about calling around Beth . Thanks ! Tracy February 2 , 2012 at 11 : 43 am Kenzi , Working in the medical field for many years it really upsets me that more machines are n ’ t made for men and women of size . I have had a MRI , I think I weighed around 350lbs at the time and fit . But the do have a open MRI machine that kinda looks like a hamburger bun and it is very comfortable and no near as scary . Every city should have one of these close by and the are called open MRI . Good Luck to your friend . Tracy February 2 , 2012 at 1 : 31 pm I like the open ( hamburger looking one ) though it ’ s not available everywhere . Chubby McGee February 2 , 2012 at 11 : 53 am I ’ m so impressed with your workouts , Kenlie . I ca n ’ t do what you do ! ! ! You have no idea what I look like when I ’ m on an elliptical . Jesus , Mary , and Joseph . I tip the damn thing over because I ’ m so uncoordinated . Plus , it ’ s GRUELING . You rock ! ! ! I wish I had your stamina , too . Someday , right ? ! I ’ m very sorry about your friend having to have an MRI . Health issues are so scary and stressful . I ’ m supposed to have one , too … but I ’ m skipping having it because I do n ’ t want the bill ( even though I have insurance ) . I hope you guys find out if she ’ ll be able to do a regular MRI , but I ca n ’ t imagine her not being able to . Also , tell her to just relax about the process . It sounds February 2 , 2012 at 1 : 32 pm Aw thanks Chubbs . I did n ’ t start here either , and I plan to do much more over time . = ) A CT on Christmas Day ? What ? ! I ’ m glad you ’ re okay now … Denise February 2 , 2012 at 11 : 56 am Had one and had no problems . I ’ ve had my knee done and my head so I ’ ve been in both ways . Tell her just use it as a time to nap or plan her weekly meals . It is a free 45 - ish minutes with no interruptions ! ! February 2 , 2012 at 1 : 33 pm Love the positive outlook on them ! Xazmin February 2 , 2012 at 12 : 11 pm I ’ m so proud of all your hard work ! I am in a serious slump , and I ca n ’ t figure out how to break out of it ! Good luck to your friend . I have never had an MRI ( knock on wood ) . February 2 , 2012 at 1 : 33 pm Just keep clawing through it . You ’ ll break out . Brooke February 2 , 2012 at 12 : 12 pm I ’ m 6ft tall and had an MRI when I was 340lbs . I fit in just fine with quite a bit of room to spare . Originally I was supposed to have an open MRI , but ended up having to do the closed one instead . I had elected an open MRI because I had the same fear , but when the MRI tech told me I had to do the closed , I figured if they thought it would n ’ t be a problem , then I should either . The MRI itself was n February 2 , 2012 at 1 : 34 pm Good to know Brooke . I think she ’ ll be pleased to read these comments ! kimz February 2 , 2012 at 1 : 08 pm One helpful tip I can offer up is to cover your eyes with a washcloth . It should help reduce some anxiety about having your face so close to the machine . Many centers offer a music option , too , which is soothing as well . Barbara February 2 , 2012 at 1 : 58 pm I am 5 ’ 8 ″ and was about 250 - 260 lbs when I had to have an MRI . I was fine . Bella February 2 , 2012 at 3 : 54 pm I know for me , when I am working out really intensely ( which you have been ) , sometimes my body holds onto the weight , which is so frustrating . But I do know that eventually it will also release it . The problem can be that I do n ’ t allow that to happen and let the scale shake me so much that I say “ F it . ” I ’ m so glad that you ’ re not doing that . It is fantastic that you ’ re appreciating all that you ’ ve Tammy February 2 , 2012 at 6 : 53 pm Good luck with weigh - in Kenlie . Your workouts have been fantastic lately ! I need to work on eating more fruits and vegetables . I had an traditional MRI almost ten years ago . I ’ m 5 ’ 3 ″ and think I was around 340 back then . My weight is distributed evenly ( yes , I am fat all over ) and it was a tight fit , but a fit . Today , I weight 370 + and would be nervous if I had to have one these days . I hope I can lose some weight before I ever do . I would think the medical staff would know whether your friend will fit before letting her try . Morgan February 2 , 2012 at 8 : 17 pm Sounds like you are making great choices , and sometimes it sucks that the scale does n ’ t reflect that for us . But if it does n ’ t this week , do n ’ t let it get you down – maybe next week it will be a bigger number ! I tagged you in an 11 things post on my blog … Heather February 2 , 2012 at 8 : 40 pm Hi , First I ’ d like to say , love your blog ! I find it very inspiring . I ran across you when I started seriously trying to lose weight in November ( to date , 31.5 lbs down , 73.5 to go ! ) , and thanks for doing what you do . It helps . So I am a hospital - based Physician Assistant , and most MRIs are rated for weights of 350 - 400 lbs , so weight should n ’ t be an issue for you friend . However as others have pointed out , weight distribution can cause difficulty , as well as claustrophobia . If her weight is distributed fairly evenly and she is ok with closed spaces , she should be fine . Debby February 2 , 2012 at 10 : 26 pm Every MRI machine is different . When your friend has her preMRI screeening they will ask her what her weight is . If the machine will not accomodate her , they will let her know . The majority of the older MRI machines at older facilities have a weight limit of 250lbs . HOWEVER ! ! I know a young lady who weighed 360 and was able to have one . They moved her to a different facility that had a larger machine . IF the facility does not prescreen her ( which is a horrible mistake ! ! ! ) then she should contact the facility , ask for the radiology department , and tell them she is having an MRI and she is wondering what the weight limit is on the machine . Holly Atkins March 1 , 2013 at 12 : 03 pm Hello , I weigh 313 pounds and got an MRI 2 days ago . The machine was a tight fit but it really is for anyone . I was comfortable and had no problems . My arms were crossed over my stomach and I still had a little room to move . The machine I was in also had a small mirror right in front of my face that was angled in a way that I could see my legs and a small view of the room . I just imagined my legs were hanging out ! I suffer from anxiety and Ann May 26 , 2013 at 1 : 23 am I have had MRI three times . Two were closed and one was “ open ” that is along one side was open . That was the easiest because I have claustrophobia and I am overweight . I prepared for the tests by ( 1 ) taking a tranquilizer my doctor prescribed ( 2 ) taking a trusted person who understood the seriousness of my fear and who I could rely on for immediate response if I panicked ( 3 ) had my friend sit near my feet and touch my foot so I had “ outside ” contact ( Alexander July 23 , 2013 at 12 : 52 pm I am an MRI tech and working on “ closed ” , “ opened ” , GE , Phillips , Hitachi machines . Couple details you should know . “ Closed ” MRI machines have a magnet approx 8 times stronger then usual “ opened ” MRI . Also , your choice also depends part of the body you are planning to scan . The part of the body we are looking at , has to be exactly in the center of the magnet . So , if you will have an MRI of an ankle , then all your Fancy December 28 , 2013 at 5 : 39 pm Thank you for your response . It helped . I ’ m getting an MRI on Monday and I ’ m really scared . June September 17 , 2013 at 11 : 57 am Was scheduled for Breast MRI . I weigh 254 and have no breasts due to mastectomy . Got prepped and had to lie on stomach on a raised platform with metal bar along sternum . Tech managed to cram me in with me hollering WAIT , WAIT , but I could not even draw a breath . I cancelled MRI . Have brusing on sternum and ribs . . Mike January 13 , 2014 at 12 : 56 pm I need MRI ’ s on both calves . Can the machine be used feet first ? Linda September 15 , 2017 at 4 : 15 am I ’ ve had a closed and opened MRI several times over the yrs . The techs always tell you that you have to go in head first . I could n ’ t handle doing that so I told them I had to go in feet first or I could n ’ t do it . Turns out it does n ’ t matter how you go in . They just have to document that you went in feet first . Good luck ! Helen January 11 , 2018 at 10 : 22 pm Hi Linda - I ’ m an MRI Technologist for 25 yrs and I ’ m compelled to respond to your post . It simply is n ’ t true that as a patient one can go in either head first of feet first . As a general rule , everything from the waist up goes in head first , everything from the waist down generally goes in feet first . All has to do with which way the ‘ coil ’ or the ‘ antennae ’ used to image specific body parts are configured . Each coil / antennae Jessica May 29 , 2014 at 11 : 21 am I weigh 310 and went in for an MRI at my local hospital . I have serious migraines and needed something better than a CT scan because they were checking for bleeding and other issues due to an uptick in my neurological issues ( essentially , they wanted to make sure the issues WERE related to my migraines , rather than stroke or something else . ) They said the machine would take a person up to 350 lbs , but the tech was concerned I would n ’ t fit anyway . I ’ m not claustrophobic , so there were n ’ t any issues there . However , I would not fit into the machine because my shoulders were too wide . The techs tried pushing me in a little , but after about 10 cm they said they could n ’ t push any more ( even though I did n ’ t feel like they were pushing very hard ) . I Since my hospital has only one machine , ( closed ) I had to ‘ make due ’ with a CT only , which shows very little detail and is n ’ t really useful for what I needed . It was quite humiliating to be told I was ‘ just too fat ’ to fit into their machine ( one of the techs said that ) . I do n ’ t understand why they would n ’ t just let me cross my arms over my stomach , because I think that would have helped , but they I do n ’ t know if I ’ m angry that I ’ m fat , or angry that I seem to live somewhere where being fat makes you into a second - class citizen . jenny June 13 , 2014 at 11 : 46 am Jessica , I work with MRIs and the reason you ca n ’ t cross your arms is because it could create a conductive loop . Claudie March 10 , 2015 at 3 : 27 am I was pretty stressed out that I would n ’ t fit . I did n ’ t sleep at all the night of my MRI . Finally , had it yesterday ( I weigh 320 lbs ) . It was n ’ t comfortable at all . They really squeezed me in tight . My shoulder and the rest of my body were fine . The problem was my arms , that I had to lay down both sides of my body . Because of my large hips , my arms and forearms were squeezed and touched both sides Judy April 16 , 2015 at 3 : 14 pm I had one yesterday , or rather almost had one . The staff made the appointment for me . I am 5 ’ 7 ″ and about 275 . I do not have issues being in tight spaces , but I did n ’ t fit in ours . In 5 minutes my arms HURT . when I got out I had lines in both arms where they were pressed hard against the side of the MRI , and this morning I even had a bruise . when I asked to get out , the tech told me they have Nita Dozer Thatcher April 22 , 2015 at 11 : 09 pm Hello . I just had an MRI today of my head at Cleveland Clinic . I am 5 ’ 8 ″ and weigh 287 lbs . This was a closed MRI . The upper part of my body ( ribcage on up ) was in the machine . I had on a cotton t - shirt . It was a horribly tight squeeze on my shoulders and especially my arms . I have large upper arms . Both arms were numb when it was finished because of the tight fit and resultant lack of blood flow to the arms . Abi March 19 , 2017 at 5 : 58 am I ’ ve gained 100 Kg is 6 months due to cushings so I weight 150 kg and I ’ m 6ft tall girl whos always had broad shoulders due to playing sport competively . My MRI when I was classed as underweight for my height still felt small due to my shoulders and I went for another one of my abdomen yesterday and it was a mobile unit so even smaller than the usual and I just about fit in and the technicians where really good and helpful but it ’ s did feel rather cramped inside I was I ’ m classed at morbidly obese and I think over 300 pounds . But the MRI was successfully taken it just was n ’ t the most pleasant experience as I ’ m a bit claustrophobic . Heather Matthews May 29 , 2018 at 8 : 42 am I have been wide shouldered and a large person my entire life . In school I was a head taller in all the class pics . I was , I am still the jolly green giant , ho , ho , ho … I ’ ve had both open and closed MRIs over the past 3 decades . Multiple accidents and tall people tend to have more back problems they say . Anyway , what we do is never use the open one again ! The pictures are to week . So I go in the tube . Here is Angie January 19 , 2019 at 8 : 38 pm I had an attempted MRI at 5 ’ 4 ” and 270 pounds . I fit fine . I got a little freaked out when the tech adjusted the machine so it was touching me on all sides , but it did not touch me before she moved things around . I was not able to do it because I got scared . Luckily , a diagnosis could be made without the MRI . If I ever have to have another one , I ’ d prefer to go to one of those newer stand / sit up MRIs . Leave a Reply Rating : 0 1 2 3 4 5 | [

How you deal with leftovers will determine whether they are a plus or a minus , and whether you lose or save money . When you throw them out , it is the same as throwing out money . However it takes time , planning , knowledge , and creativity for you to be able to take those leftovers and use them in a way that your family and you will want to eat them again . When I was a young bride I remember a man saying that his wife had never fed him the same meal twice . That statement surprised me when I heard it , and now I can hardly believe it ! His wife must have been one very creative cook . I doubt few of us have risen to that level . The more skill you have at using leftovers , the lower your food bill will be . Sometimes we can make our favorite recipes with out leftovers . One of my family ’ s favorites is the crescent rolls we make out of leftover turkey . See http : / / www . allthingsfrugal . com / turkey . htm Having said that , here are some ideas to help you with your leftovers . This article focuses on generalities , and not specific recipes . MEALS THE ACCOMMODATE LEFTOVERS SANDWICHES Almost all meats can be put in the blender and then mixed with a little mayonnaise to make a sandwich spread . Spreads can be made more flavorful with the addition of seasonings , chopped vegetables and eggs , mustard , pickles , and spices . Spread the mix on a piece of whole grain bread ; add a slice of cheese and your favorite lettuce . You ’ ve got a delicious sandwich with just a small amount of leftover meat . SOUPS and STEWS Leftover meat and vegetables can find a home in many types of soups and stews . Keep a container in your freezer for leftover vegetables . When you are ready to make soup or stew , just add them . POT PIE This is a very economical way to make use of leftover meat and vegetables . Just add a little sauce to your diced up meat and vegetables and your filling is done . You can put it in a pastry crust , or you can just put a layer of biscuits on top or mashed potatoes . It becomes a very fast and easy recipe if you use a store bought can of biscuits . CASSEROLES There are a zillion recipes for casseroles . All you need is a little pasta , meat , and sauce . The sauce can be a can of creamed soup . You can make fast meals by adding leftover meat and vegetables to boxes of Rice - a - Roni , or Macaroni and Cheese . OMELETTES You can fill omelettes with a blend of cheeses as well as cut up meat and vegetables . Longhorn and cottage cheese blend together well . If the vegetables are fresh , you just sauté them before adding . If they are already cooked , add at the last minute . USES FOR LEFTOVER INGREDIENTS MEAT Casseroles , Soups , Stews , Stroganoff , Sandwich Fillings , Stir Fry , Quiche , Enchiladas , Tacos , Hash , Meatloaf , and Meatballs . ONIONS , CELERY , and GREEN PEPPERS In addition to the above suggestions , considering juicing these items and freezing the broth . This is how sauce is made for spaghetti and lasagna in fancy restaurants . The broth adds a wonderful flavor to tomato - based sauces . Add to your Mexican food such as Enchiladas and Chili . POTATOES Potatoes are one of the most inexpensive and versatile foods you will find in the produce section of the grocery store . They are abundant , and always available . If your family does n ’ t like them , you just have n ’ t found a way to cook them to their liking . They also have the virtue of being easily re - used . There are so many ways to use leftover potatoes . They can be mashed , re - mashed , hashed , made into pancakes , baked , and used in everything from soups and stews to potpies . * Make potatoe cakes out of leftover mashed potatoes . Mix them with buttermilk , eggs , and spices , and fry in 1 / 2 inch vegetable oil until they are golden . OTHER VEGETABLES * All unused vegetables should be saved in the freezer to add to soups , stews , and potpies . * Serve cold as a salad with Italian dressing . FRUIT If you have leftover fruit you know you will not eat , put it in the blender and puree it . Then freeze it , preferably in ice cube trays . You can add these cubes to gelatin , as well as soups and sauces . * Fruit can also be made into delicious deserts . You can make pies , cobblers , or you can just top the cooked fruit with a little flour , oatmeal and sugar ( like apple crisp ) . * You can also put fruit in cakes and muffins . Just make allowances for the fruit juice and decreased the liquid in the recipe . * You can layer fruit in a dessert glass over cake , and add syrups and whipped cream and have an English type trifle dessert . * You can also freeze the syrup in Popsicle molds . Add a little milk if you want more of a pudding pop . * Use the syrup from canned fruit to baste ham or marinade food . On the website I talk about what I did with all the plums I grew in the yard of my last house . I canned them whole . Then when I wanted to make jello , I would puree them and add them to the gelatin . It was delicious , and so simple to do . See http : / / www . allthingsfrugal . com / plums . htm or Click Here ! EGGS * Use leftover egg whites to make angel food cake , or meringue . You can always add additional egg whites to cake mixes . * Use leftover egg yolks to make pound cake , custard , or macaroons . BREAD * Try making bread pudding . People do n ’ t make it much anymore , but it was once very popular . * Make breadcrumbs to be added to the top of casseroles or to ground beef . One of our readers suggested that if your children wo n ’ t eat the crust of their sandwiches , take it off the bread before making the sandwich for making breadcrumbs . * Make croutons for salads . * French Toast . French toast is not limited to just white bread . You can also use quick rise breads , like banana bread . * Toast and cover with scrambled eggs . MISC * All baked products can usually be frozen . If wrapped well , they come out as fresh as they went in the freezer . Buy in bulk and freeze some for later . * Fresh leftover waffles and pancakes can also be frozen for easy use later . * Freeze leftover pasta , or serve cold as a salad , with chopped vegetables and an Italian dressing . * Bits and pieces of piecrust can be frozen and used later for small quiche dishes or tarts . * Save the water you boil vegetables in . It is full of nutrients and has flavor . Use it as the base for soups , stews , and gravy . * Always serve meat separately from Spaghetti . Leftover meat can later go in chili , tacos , sloppy Joes , and other tomato based dishes . * Save leftover bits of cereals , crackers , and cookies . Crush them to make a crunchy topping for chicken and casseroles . You can also add them to homemade granola . * Use add leftover bits of cheese to hamburger or add to salads . You can also add to any tomato based sauce . Make it a goal this year not to serve your leftovers to your trash can !

http://allthingsrh.com/photo-of-kim-zolciaks-new-dream-house-why-she-was-evicted-details-on-building-plus-house-was-a-foreclosure/ | Photo Of Kim Zolciak ’ s New Dream House ! Why She Was Evicted , & Details On Building ! Plus - House Was A Foreclosure ? On December 29 , 2012 By AllThingsRH We ’ ve seen a lot of tweets about the progress of former Real Housewives of Atlanta Star Kim Zolciak ’ s Dream Home , and now there ’ s a photo to prove it really does exist ! Kim and Kroy ’ s dream home has been being built for what feels like forever , and now we have some details on what it looks like , and what ’ s inside ! Kim tweeted on December 28th , “ Giving u a sneak peek of Our work in progress # watchoutjoneses , ” along with the photo of the outside of their new home ! After being evicted from Kendra Davis ’ home that Kim and Kroy intended to buy , they returned to Kim ’ s townhouse that has been featured on RHOA . I know it ’ s old news , but if you did n ’ t know , here ’ s what happened : Kim and Kroy were renting the home from Kendra and her husband , which was fully decorated by Kendra . Kim and Kroy were going to purchase Kendra ’ s home ( the house that they filmed their wedding on ‘ Do n ’ t Be Tardy It is also reported that Kim owes Kendra thousands of dollars for her decorating services that she never paid . Kendra announced publicly that Kim and Kroy had no intentions of buying the house and they were renting month - to - month . Kendra also announced that she was going to evict the Biermann family . Kim denies any rumors of eviction , “ No honey not evicted , lease was up may 31st and were trying to extend our lease for 4 mnths until our house was built but our asshole landlords emailed us June 1st and said “ Eviction means I never paid my rent which has never happened we are simply in a holding period and moving out while paying a fine everyday until everything is out ! Google Kendra she is bat sh * t crazy mama ! Xo , ” Kim added . After more questions on Twitter were asked , Kim finally tweeted on June 11th , “ I love my husband , he just said , “ Babe we got evicted , Great ! ! We will be in our brand new home in 4 months and everyone will see the truth Below are documents regarding Kim and Kroy attempting to terminate their lease , obtained by TMZ . Regardless of what happened with Kendra , the couple is moving forward and now overseeing the building of their dream house ( above ) . Kim also revealed on Twitter that her new crib will have 8 fireplaces ! “ At the new house freezing our asses off ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ” Kim tweeted . A fan replied , asking if there were any fireplaces , Kim revealed , 8 but our house is n ’ t close to being finished ! ” I think it ’ s a good assumption that UPDATE : New information on Kim ’ s dream home has emerged . Kim has been tweeting her excitement about building her dream home , and it turns out Kim is n ’ t building her new house from the ground up ! According to TV Fishbowl Kim purchased a home located in The Manor Golf and Country Club in Alpharetta , GA , this is also the neighborhood where DeShawn Snow lived in Season 1 of RHOA . According to original legal documents discovered by TVFishbowl Kim actually bought an already built house ! That ’ s not all ! Kim bought that house was a foreclosure ! She and Kroy bought a pre - existing foreclosure that they are now renovating and Kim is telling people she ’ s building her dream home ! According to TVFishbowl , Kim ’ s new house was originally listed for $ 3.7 million , and when the developers went bankrupt they reduced the price of the house by over $ 1 million . When it still did n ’ t sell , the bank reduced the home to $ 999,900 , but they were also accepting best offers . Which is when Kim and Kroy got their new house at the low price of $ 880,000 ! Kim and Kroy closed on the house in October and did NOT tear it down to start renovations . TVFishBowl has the original documents and photos of the home . Click here to see ! Kim denies any of these new reports . She took to Twitter to tell her fans her new house was NOT a foreclosure . “ partially built home structure 70 % NOT completed foreclosed , we purchased it and will be finishing it out BRAND NEW ! Does n ’ t even have a driveway yet ! ” Kim said What do YOU think ?

http://allurestudiosalon.com/services/eyebrow-microbladingembroidery/ | Our Services Eyebrow Microblading / Embroidery Price $ 495.00 ( 4 week follow up appointment - complimentary ) touch up every 6 - 18 Months $ 225.00 What Is Eyebrow Microblading ? Microblading is a latest hairstroke manual method . We use a very fine blade to deposit semi - permanent pigment under the skin . Unlike tattoos that go 7 layers deep into the skin and turn out red or green after a while , semi - permanent hairstroke hand method is deposited only 2 layers under your skin and the strokes appear very fine and crisp and they simply fade away without traces of pigment . Therefore this technique gives the best NATURAL hair - like results . Who Should Get Microblading ? This method is perfect for anyone that wants to enhance the look of their eyebrows . There are a lot of people that suffer from Alopecia or after cancer treatments that lose their eyebrows and never grow back fully , people that over - plucked or just people that were never happy with their eyebrows . All of them can benefit greatly from the Microblading method . The results are very natural and give you fuller looking eyebrows . Get a Free Consultation ! Call 414 - 581 - 9774 Before and After Gallery Before Before & After After 1 Before After Before & After 1 More About Eyebrow Microblading Eyebrow Microblading FAQ ’ s Here are some common questions regarding Microblading : – How long does the process take ? It will take anywhere between 2 - 3 hours , first we match your natural eyebrow color with the ideal pigment to be used , then we draw your eyebrows using a eyebrow pencil and find the right shape to match your face and the shape of your eyes . You can always tweak the shape if you are not happy . Once we determine the right shape for you , we use a topical numbing cream to numb the area and leave it on for 15 min . Microblading procedure follows after the numbing cream takes affect . - Is there and discomfort or pain during the procedure ? Yes , you might feel some pain right at the beginning , once the numbing cream penetrates deeper into your skin it will be pain - free . Some clients do n ’ t like the sound of scraping the blade over the skin , therefore we recommend to bring in your own headphones to listen to music to get distracted . - How often do I need to get this done ? A touch up is recommended every 6 - 18 months so you do n ’ t lose your beautiful eyebrow shape . BEFORE AND AFTER YOUR TREATMENT Before your treatment Prior to your new permanent cosmetics improvement , think about the look you wish to attain . As a permanent cosmetic specialist , we assure and promise to you that you will attain the right look and styles fit for you . However , you have a role in the decision - making process . Permanent cosmetic treatments usually require certain amounts of steps in the process . To attain the best result you will be required to visit for at least one control procedure about four to six weeks after the beginning of the application . THE FOLLOW UP VISIT IS COMPLIMENTARY . Be prepared for the color intensity to be sharper and darker significantly right after the procedure . This will subside and return to normal as the skin heals . This process can take up to 14 days . Since after the treatment , delicate skin or sensitive areas may be swollen or irritated , so we advise you not to make any social plans the day of your treatment . It would be appreciated and required for you to wear your normal makeup to your enhancement appointment . Do not take aspirin or Ibuprofen 2 days prior to and after the procedure . Do not discontinue any medicine before consulting with your doctor . Keep alcohol intake to a minimum 2 days before and after the procedure . A sensitivity test will be preformed unless refrained from request . As with Electrolysis the National Blood Service will not accept blood donations for 1 year after your permanent cosmetic enhancement . Eyebrow Enhancement Waxing treatments should be done no less than 3 days prior to your enhancement . IPL laser hair removal should be done no less than 3 days prior to your enhancement . Electrolysis treatments should be done no less than 5 days prior to your enhancement . Eyebrow tinting should not be done for 2 weeks after your enhancement . After your treatment The area treated may show redness and swelling , along with the color looking darker . This is all normal . Additional treatments and procedures can not be done until the area has been completely healed . A 4 / 6 week healing time is required before undergoing any more work . In order for the brow to heal , we advise you to avoid water on the brow , make - up on the brow , and to avoid the gym , sauna , or pool for 7 days . Once the brow area has completely healed , approximately one week , we recommend using a water proof sunblock when going out in the sun to stop any color fading . Do not pick at the treated area as the pigment will fade . You will go through three healing phases in this process . Heal Peel Fade You might notice whiteness or blanching around the treated area . This is normal and will return to normal within 12 hours . If you find any lymphatic fluid or blood , you can gently clean it with saline , cool water or gauze . Blot it gently dry to remove any moisture . With clean hands and a cotton bud , apply a fine layer of after care balm to the area treated . Repeat this process up to three times a day . After the fine scabbing has disappeared , you will see a different hue to the color implanted . You might notice a uneven color pigment after a week or two , do n ’ t worry this is a very natural and normal effect . That ’ s why a follow up appointment is very important to touch up and fill in anything that the skin did not take well . Giving blood is prohibited . The Red Cross recommended that you do not donate any blood for 6 months the following treatment . Dermal fillers and Botox can change the shape of the eyebrows . The client is advised not to use injectables prior the micro - blading , but after may be carried out . Laser or pulsed light hair removal , along with skin rejuvenation can cause color change . It is important to advise the therapist that you have had a micro - blading procedure . To keep your eyebrow pigment looking at its best its recommended that you have a color refresh every 6 - 18 months . For prices on services , please look at each team members individual pricing here . * $ 100.00 deposit required to set up an appointment . If the appointment is not cancelled 24 hours in advance the $ 100.00 is non refundable . Back to services | [

http://allwaysaustralia.com/states/tasmania/port-arthur-life.php | Life at Port Arthur Convict Prison It was n ' t all tea and biscuits for these British convicts Port Arthur Prison was established in 1830 as a timber camp that used prisoners as convict labor . Only three years later it became a punishment station for repeat offenders . The Church was a mandatory part of convict life in Port Arthur . Prisoners and guards attended church every Sunday and this church had a capacity of 1100 people . That ' s a lot of praying . Much of the stonework found on the church was created by the Point Puer Boys Prison . Leading up to the Church is the Government Gardens , a pathway lined with various plants on either side and a fountain in the middle . This was meant to be a quiet place where free men and guards could go to escape from the prison . Here we have a very famous bee . The ancestors of this bee stung several of the prisoners in the late 1870 ' s . I know this because he told me so . All along the watchtower . The Guard Tower , built in 1835 , was the front line in watching over the prisoners . Behind you have the officers quarters , where families of the officers lived their day to day . In the Commandant ' s House , each room is set to show what its purpose was while in use . The Commandant ' s House has underwent several renovations throughout the years , having added rooms as needed . Besides his living quarters , it was used to entertain guests for an evening of dinner and friendly chatter . And who better to serve the food than the prisoners of Port Arthur . Oddly enough the meals for convicts at Port Arthur were bigger than that of the average backpacker . The Penitentiary at Port Arthur was where general population spent their time . The two lower floors were for the less desirable inmates , while the upper floors had bunks and shared rooms . Over the years , this building has fallen into disrepair , but is currently under construction . While it is great that they are staying on top of this , I would still like to see them refer back to their roots and use convict labor for any and all renovations . After building up prisoners for some years , they eventually had to add places for more and more people . Then there was the Asylum and the Separate Prison , a place in Port Arthur with a much darker history Purchase the Port Arthur Photographic Poster at the All Ways Australia Online Store New South Wales How to get your WHV sorted out A Day Out in Sydney A Beach Walk from Bondi to Cogee Chinese New Year in Sydney Weekend in the Blue Mountains Narooma and the Princes Highway Sydney : one year later Tasmania Two Days in Launceston Launceston Festivale Hobart Why go to Davenport ?

http://alphahistory.com/frenchrevolution/great-fear/ | The Great Fear A depiction of the Great Fear , showing châteaux being raided and burned The Great Fear ( in French , Grande Peur ) was a wave of peasant riots and violence that swept through France in July and August 1789 . These riots were caused by economic concerns , rural panic and the power of rumour . Already excited by the summer ’ s political developments , France ’ s peasants heard and shared rumours about roving bands of hired brigands reportedly rampaging through the countryside , raiding villages and stealing grain . These rumours appeared in different places , took different forms and invoked different levels of response . Many peasants responded by arming themselves and mobilising to defend their property châteaux of landed aristocrats and destroying feudal contracts . The peasants , it seems , became the destructive brigands they had initially feared . While few people were killed during the Great Fear , property worth millions of livres was either stolen or destroyed . The story of the Great Fear begins with paranoia about outsiders . French peasants were accustomed to outsiders arriving in their region , usually in the middle of the year when good weather made travel easier . Some of these outsiders were landless labourers or destitute townspeople in search of paid work . Others were beggars , vagrants and outcasts , who decided that living off the land or seeking the charity of farmers was better than starving in the cities . Peasant communities were , by their nature , insular and suspicious of outsiders . They considered these strangers Georges Lefebvre ‘ s pivotal study of the Great Fear , the numbers of itinerants in rural areas reached levels never seen before : “ Unemployed workers , displaced by the crisis in industry , were everywhere in search of jobs … Vagrants and beggars , always a source of concern to the small rural proprietor , choked the roads and threatened reprisals against householders who refused to give them shelter or a crust of bread . Hungry men and women invaded forests and fields and stripped them of firewood or grain , before the harvest was ripe to the gathered . ” Peasant fear and paranoia The destruction of the Bastille was a precedent for the Great Fear Peasant communities were also unsettled by the political events of 1788 - 89 . The convocation of the Estates General and the drafting of the cahiers created a mood of optimism and expectation across the country . The process of writing the cahiers had brought peasants together to discuss their situation and share their grievances , particularly the burdens of royal taxes and feudal dues . News of the formation of the National Assembly , the Tennis Court Oath and the king ’ s acceptance of reform caused excitement in peasant communities – but this excitement was short lived . In mid - July , news reached the provinces that the king had mobilised his troops and sacked his director of finance , Jacques Necker . This sparked rumours and conspiracy theories that a royalist or aristocratic counter - revolution was imminent . These stories took different forms in different regions . The most common rumour was that the king or his conservative nobles had employed bands of foreign troops or brigands to march into the provinces and bring the people to their knees with violence , looting and wanton destruction . A map showing the waves of movement and violence during the Great Fear These fears of royal and aristocratic retribution spread exponentially in late July ( as Lefebvre himself put it , “ fear bred fear ” ) . Lefebvre and later historians have attempted to track the course of the Great Fear , though with limited success . The circulation of rumour was fast – almost too fast for the age – and sporadic . It did not always follow logical transport routes , such as rivers and roads . There are accounts of the same rumour appearing in places 20 miles apart on the same day . As these rumours circulated How organised was the Great Fear ? “ The political crisis played an important part , for the excitement it provoked made the people restless and unruly . Every beggar , vagrant and rioter seemed a ‘ brigand ’ . There had always been great anxiety at harvest time : it was a moment the peasants dreaded … The uprising in Paris … spread the fear of brigands far and wide , and at the same time the people anxiously waited for the defeated aristocrats to take their revenge on the Third Estate with the aid of foreign troops . No one doubted for a moment that Georges Lefebvre , historian In some villages or small towns , the Great Fear had a measure of organisation and leadership . Locals gathered on the village green or square to hear from their local representatives . Some resolved to make a preemptive strike against potential counter - revolutionaries . Large bands of peasants , sometimes entire villages , gathered up arms and hit the road in search of targets . Their violence was not indiscriminate ( they targeted only the symbols of feudal authority ) nor was it bloodthirsty ( fewer than 20 people were reported killed during the panic of July - seigneurs suffered worse . Their châteaux ( country homes ) were besieged , invaded , looted and , in most cases , set alight . Written records bearing names , land holdings , feudal contracts and obligations – for example , ledgers showing which peasants were subject to the champart , whose quitrents were due , who owed labour for the corvée – were eagerly sought and immediately destroyed . If this sabotage did not kill off seigneurial feudalism , the peasants hoped , it would at least make it unworkable . The worst of the Great Fear riots broke out in Dauphiné , south - eastern France , in late July . Beginning in Bourgoin , gangs of peasants engaged in a five - day orgy of destruction , ransacking and burning numerous until they were dispersed by volunteer soldiers from Lyons and Grenoble . The nobles themselves were not harmed – unless they tried to resist . Lefebvre reports only three murders during the Great Fear . One of the victims was Michel de Montesson , a nobleman from Douillet who weeks before had sat with the Second Estate at Versailles . Scores of nobles were chased out of their homes , if not the district . There were instances of aristocrats being held to ransom and forced to renounce their feudal rights over peasants on the estate . Some nobles were themselves taken in by rumours of roaming brigands . At Limousin in central France , Baron de Drouhet and Baron de Belinay gathered a militia to protect the citizens of Saint - Angel from a rumoured attack . Unfortunately for both barons , guards at Saint - Angel mistook them for spies ; they were bound and Debates over motive and casuation Wheat contaminated with ergot , which can be seen as small black cylinders The Great Fear was a peculiar uprising in that it was spontaneous , sporadic and disorganised . Historians have not yet presented a convincing account of what drove the panic of July and August 1789 . One theory , advanced by Mary Matossian in the late 1980s but disregarded by most historians , was that riotous peasants had eaten stored flour contaminated with ergot . The ergot fungus contains lysergic acid , the active compound in the narcotic LSD , and if eaten in sufficient quantities can cause hallucinations and paranoid delusions . Whatever its true causes , the Great 1 . The Great Fear ( Grande Peur ) was a brief but intense wave of peasant riots and uprisings in July and August 1789 , triggered by political unrest , rumour and panic . 2 . The context for this panic was the economic suffering of mid - 1789 , the political developments at Versailles and the peasantry ’ s long - standing fear and suspicion of outsiders . 3 . In mid - July , peasants heard rumours that the king and / or his aristocrats had hired gangs of mercenaries or brigands to destroy their crops or property , as a means of imposing political control . 4 . They took up arms and mobilise to defend themselves . Some went on long marches , attacking the of nobles , looting , burning and destroying feudal records . 5 . The Great Fear not only exposed the depth of peasant feeling about feudal dues , it caused some consternation among the Second Estate and the deputies of the National Constituent Assembly .

http://alphahistory.com/frenchrevolution/sieyes-what-is-the-third-estate/ | Sieyès and What is the Third Estate ? A portrait of Emmanuel Sieyès , painted around 1789 In late 1788 , the French king Louis XVI announced the convocation of the Estates General , Bourbon France ’ s closest equivalent to a national parliament . This announcement unleashed a flood of political opinion . Hundreds of essays and political pamphlets were published and circulated . Many speculated about the composition , procedure and possible outcomes of the Estates General . Some of these documents demanded equality and greater representation for the Third Estate , France ’ s common people . One pamphlet , written by a middle - ranking clergyman , inflamed these political aspirations more than any other . Emmanuel Sieyès Qu ’ est ce que le tiers etat ? ( ‘ What is the Third Estate ? ) struck a chord with France ’ s disgruntled lower classes . Asking three rhetorical questions , and employing clear but forceful language , What is the Third Estate ? seemed as rational and logical as it was compelling . It challenged traditional conceptions of nation and government while urging its readers not to accept hollow promises or compromises . What is the Third Estate ? proved enormously popular and became what one historian calls “ a script for revolution ” . The author of this remarkable document was Emmanuel Joseph Sieyès , a free - thinking clergyman . Sieyès was born in south - eastern France in 1748 . His parents had noble ancestry but by the time of his birth Sieyès ’ family was barely middle class . His father was a public servant and devout Catholic who wanted his children , including middle son Emmanuel , to enter the clergy . Sieyès received a Jesuit education before relocating to Paris , where he entered a seminary in suburban Paris and studied theology at the prestigious Sorbonne . Sieyès was Enlightenment texts featured heavily in this list . Dissatisfaction with the Church Despite his liberal views , Sieyès continued with his entry into the church , being ordained as an abbé ( abbot ) in 1772 . His career in the clergy was moderately successful but far from happy . After waiting two years for a posting , Sieyès finally obtained a position in the diocese of Chartres . He eventually rose to the offices of vicar - general , cathedral canon and diocesan chancellor – however , while his own career was progressing slowly , Sieyès became acutely aware of how churchmen of noble birth but mediocre were moving quickly up the ranks . As his dissatisfaction with the church grew , so too Sieyès ’ interest in the nation The royal letter outlining the convocation of the Estates General in 1789 In August 1788 , the king ordered the convocation of the Estates General in the middle of the following year . At this point , there was uncertainty about the composition and operation of the Estates General . The Estates General had not met since 1614 ; it had never followed consistent structures or procedures ; there was no constitutional requirement for it to take any particular form . This uncertainty triggered a national discussion about the formation , operation and powers of the Estates General . In September 1788 , the Paris parlement ruled the Estates General must adopt the same form as it had in 1614 – that is , with voting conducted by order rather than by head . The following month Jacques Necker , who had proposed doubling the representation of the Third Estate at the Estates General , summoned an Assembly of Notables to provide advice on the matter . Government censorship was also relaxed , allowing pundits and ideologues to write extensively about the forthcoming Estates General . Sieyès the writer All this inspired Sieyès to put pen to paper . In November 1788 he published Essai sur les privileges ( ‘ Essay on the privileges ’ ) which attacked the presence of privilege and exemptions in France ’ s society and political system . This was quickly followed by in January 1789 . This text was based on a simple premise : the Third Estate formed the majority of the nation and did the work of the nation , so was entitled to political representation . As Thomas Paine had done in America with Common Sense ( 1776 ) , Sieyès kept the structure simple while employing reasoning that was clear and accessible for ordinary readers . In the most - quoted passage of , he posted three rhetorical questions and answers : “ What is the Third Estate ? Everything . What has it been heretofore in the political order ? Nothing . What does it demand ? To become something . ” The opening page of What is the Third Estate ? became probably the most influential text of the early French Revolution . It crystallised the grievances of ordinary people in a rational and logical manner . It reminded the common French people they had been exploited and mistreated , both by an unrepresentative government and by a parasitic nobility that refused to pay its own way . More importantly , provided Third Estate representatives attending the Estates General with a set of objectives . Sieyès argued that Third Estate representation must be equal to or larger than the First and Second Estates combined . He called for voting at the Estates General to be conducted by head ( that is , by a tally of individual deputies ) rather than by order ( the Estates voting in blocs ) . This shaped the demands of the Third Estate at the Estates General , culminating in their decision to break away to form the National Assembly . It is uncertain whether this would have occurred without the impetus provided by Sieyès ’ rise to prominence “ Sieyès – who had an ear for what we would now call the sound - bite – gave a notorious answer to this question [ of political representation ] . In contrast to the other two orders , the nobility and priesthood , which he claimed were guardians of their own corporate privilege , the Third Estate had ‘ no corporate interest to defend … it demands nothing less than to make the totality of citizens a single social body . ’ It was , he claimed , not one order amongst others , but itself , alone , Iain Hampsher - Monk , historian For Emmanuel Sieyès , the impact of brought him considerable respect and popularity . In March 1789 he was elected to represent the Third Estate at the Estates - General – despite Sieyès being a member of the First Estate and having no experience as an advocate , debater or public speaker . Sieyès rarely gave public addresses during the Estates General but worked diligently behind the scenes and was often consulted for advice or instruction . When the Third Estate formed as the National Assembly on June 17th , Sieyès personally introduced the motions to initiate this change . The rest of Sieyès ’ political career never reached the heights of early 1789 . He served in both the National Constituent Assembly and the National Convention , participating in constitutional discussions and drafting . Ultimately , Sieyès was not radical enough for the revolution he had helped unleash . He desired a constitutional monarchy and a bourgeois democracy rather than a popular republic , nor could not bring himself to attack the church as he had attacked the nobility . 1 . was one of the French Revolution ’ s most significant and influential political texts , shaping the course of events in 1789 . 2 . Its author was Emmanuel Sieyès , a middle - ranking clergyman and free thinker who had studied Enlightenment political philosophy and was frustrated by nobility and privilege . 3 .

http://alphahistory.com/worldwar1/human-cost/ | The human cost of World War I Pie graphs showing the breakdown of military deaths during World War I World War I had a profound human cost , both on servicemen and civilians . Conservative estimates put war casualties at 12 million dead and 20 million severely wounded , though in reality both figures should probably be much higher . Taking into account deaths from combat , disease and missing soldiers , each of the major powers lost numbers in the millions . Germany and Russia lost by far the most personnel , though Russian record - keeping was so inept that its losses will never be accurately known , even to the nearest 100,000 . Italy , which This alarming death toll prompted a wave of grief and introspection across Europe , as governments sought to commemorate the dead and mothers , wives and families sought to mourn them . Years of sadness fell on European society after the armistice ; as historian Jay Winter put it , the people of Europe imagined themselves “ as survivors , perched on a mountain of corpses ” . Governments sought to heal the wounds with tokens and shows of commemoration . Huge war memorials were commissioned in major cities to honour the dead ; smaller memorials were erected in every One of thousands of men left limbless after the war Those who returned alive confronted their own challenges . Artillery , shrapnel , mines and mortars also left a generation permanently maimed and disfigured . The most common casualties were limbs : arms and legs shattered or mangled in battle were swiftly amputated in field hospitals . In Britain , a wave of 240,000 amputee soldiers forced new developments in the science of prosthetic limb - making . Before 1914 the production of artificial limbs was little more than a backyard industry ; most were made - to - order by saddlers and leather - workers . But the government A device for delivering electrical shocks to traumatised war veterans War wounds often extended beyond the merely physical . Some of the most enduring images of the Great War are of men suffering from ‘ shell shock ’ – or , as the medical experts preferred to call it , war neurosis . Shellshock was a form of nervous breakdown that severely affected one ’ s ability to move and function . In the worst cases of shell shock , men were turned into shaking , twitching , convulsing wrecks , unable to carry out basic movements like walking a straight line . It is difficult to say how many “ Neither peoples nor rulers drew the line at any deed which they thought could help them to win … Every outrage against humanity or international law was repaid by reprisals – often of a greater scale and of longer duration . No truce or parley mitigated the strife of the armies . The wounded died between the lines ; the dead mouldered into the soil . Merchant ships and neutral ships and hospital ships were sunk on the seas and all on board left to their fate … Every effort was made to starve entire nations into submission , Winston Churchill The post - war years also produced a cultural backlash against war and the attitudes which had caused it . The best known of these was Erich Maria Remarque ’ s All Quiet on the Western Front ( German , In Westen nichts Neues ) which was published in Germany in 1928 . Remarque was himself a conscript and a veteran of several Western Front battles until he was wounded and invalided out of action in mid - 1918 . All Quiet on the Western Front is told through the eyes of Paul Baumer , a young soldier who is cajoled into enlisting by the patriotic speeches of his schoolteacher . Thrust into battle with minimal training or preparation , Baumer finds himself overwhelmed by the violence of war and the random nature of death . Other anti - war tracts include Ernest Hemingway A Farewell to Arms ( 1929 ) , loosely based on the author ’ s experiences fighting with the Italians in 1917 . Hemingway ’ s account of the war is bleak , confronting and pointless . The men fighting it do not wish to be there and do not believe in its causes , while the civilians displaced and affected by the war simply wish it to end . C . S . Forester ’ s The General ( 1936 ) contained a commentary on military leadership during World War I ; his main character Curzon was an honest and loyal general but given to inflexibility , adherence to routine and lack of initiative . A less well - known book is The Good Soldier Svejk , an illustrated novel created by Czech socialist Jaroslav Hasek . It satirises and ridicules the war through the actions of its title character , an Austro - Hungarian soldier who manages to survive by virtue of his incompetence and his misunderstanding of orders , perhaps deliberately . A scene from the iconic movie depiction of All Quiet on the Western Front World War I was quickly explored in film too . French director Abel Gance began work on J ’ accuse in 1918 , weeks before the war had even ended ( in fact some of Gance ’ s ‘ battle scenes ’ contained authentic footage of Western Front charges ) . Gance ’ s message in J ’ accuse is anti - war and pacifist . In one memorable scene , a platoon of dead soldiers returns to life and marches back to their village , confronting survivors with questions about their patriotism and support for the war . Such was the impact of Remarque ’ s that an American film version – starring Lew Ayres as Paul Baumer – went into production barely a year after its publication . To this day it remains one of the most significant anti - war movies in history . In one memorable scene , Baumer is trapped in a shell crater overnight with a dying French soldier , where he is confronted by the reality that there is little difference between him and his ‘ enemy ’ . A film version of Hemingway ’ s A Farewell to Arms was also hurriedly produced , just a year or two after the release of the book . 1 . The human impact of World War I was enormous . Estimates vary considerably but at least 12 million people were killed and 20 million were severely wounded . 2 . The high death toll led to a deep and widespread public grief . Governments and community groups worked to commission war cemeteries , memorials and cenotaphs . 3 . The frequent use of artillery and shrapnel left tens of thousands of men disabled or limbless . This led to new developments and rapid growth in prosthetic limbs and devices . 4 . Thousands of former trench soldiers were affected by ‘ shell shock ’ , a debilitating form of psychological trauma for which there were few effective treatments . 5 . The war was also remembered and often criticised by literature and film , sometimes by men who had experienced it first - hand . One example is the 1930 classic All Quiet on the Western Front . © Alpha History 2017 . Content on this page may not be republished or distributed without permission .

http://altereddimensions.net/2013/axeman-serial-killer-new-orleans | The Axeman serial killer of New Orleans ( 1918 - 1919 ) / / November 18th , 2013 / / Serial Killers During several years in the early 1900 ’ s , New Orleans teetered on the brink of panic after a string of horrendous murders that were as gruesome as they were terrifying . Reminiscent of an American version of Jack the Ripper , the ax - wielding serial killer known as “ Axeman ” , broke into homes across New Orleans in the middle of the night and savagely hacked his sleeping victims with an axe before quietly slipping away into the darkness . As with the Jack the Ripper murders that occurred in London during the late 1880 ’ s , a canonical list of victims was attributed to the Axeman serial killer but in truth , nobody is sure how many victims died by his hand . Regardless , by the time the attacks suddenly ended in October 1919 , at least a dozen people had been attacked with at least six people hacked to death in bloody fashion . The Axeman was never caught and his identity remains unknown . The 1911 New Orleans axe murders – Axeman early kills ? Between 1911 and 1912 ( a few years before the official Axeman murders ) , several gruesome axe murders occurred in New Orleans . Although accounts are sketchy , we know that a New Orleans newspaper article printed during the height of the Axeman murders ( 1918 ) , contained an interview with a retired police detective who compared the Axeman attacks to several Italian grocers who had been murdered by an axe - wielding maniac from 1911 through 1912 . The victims of the 1911 assaults , couples in most cases , had been asleep in their beds when According to newspaper reports , the first victim ’ s name was Cruti followed by a man named Rosetti who was hacked to death along with his wife . The third set of victims , the Schiambra ’ s ( a husband and his wife , Tony ) were murdered by an intruder in their Lower Ninth Ward home on May 16 , 1912 . All of the victims of these early attacks were of Italian descent . At the time , police wondered whether a serial killer was on the loose or if the murders were the work of The Black Hand , a supposedly “ defunct ” Mafia group responsible for a spate of gang - related killings in New Orleans about 5 years earlier . Regardless of their confusion , by 1918 police would , without question , recognize the modus operandi of the serial killer who would come to be known as The Axeman . The first canonical Axeman murders – Joseph and Catherine Maggio On May 22 , 1918 , Jake and Andrew Maggio were fast asleep in their room which adjoined the home of their brother , Joseph Maggio and his wife of 15 years , Catherine Maggio , when Jake heard what sounded like groaning coming from Joseph ’ s room . Jake rapped on the wall but received no response . Jake reached over and woke his brother Andrew , who was still quite drunk after a night on the town celebrating his deployment to World War I the next day . Together the two brothers went outside and around to Joseph ’ s rear kitchen door where they found a lower wooden panel had been removed from the door . The panel lay on the ground , a wood chisel sitting atop it . The Maggio brothers entered their brother ’ s home through the damaged kitchen door , walked past the bathroom , and into Joseph ’ s bedroom where they found him laying on his bed , legs dangling off the side , with Catherine ’ s lifeless body draped over him . Joseph was still alive and attempted to get up but slid to the floor , blood pouring from deep gashes around his head . Catherine lay lifeless on the bed amidst a pool of blood . Joseph stared pleadingly at his brothers for a few moments and then breathed Police searched the Maggio ’ s home , which was located just around the corner ( at Upperline and Magnolia Street ) from the small grocery store and barroom that they co - owned together . Inside the home , police found Joseph ’ s safe unlocked and empty ( his brothers swore he always kept the safe locked ) but money was left under Joseph ’ s pillow and Catherine ’ s jewelry box had been left untouched . This lead police to rule that robbery had not been the motive for the deadly attack . In the nearby bathroom they found a pile of men ’ s clothing in the middle of the bathroom floor ( the killer apparently had changed into clean clothes before escaping ) and an axe sitting in the cast - iron bathtub . The axe had been washed but some blood still remained on the blade ( reports of the axe ’ s location vary with one account saying the axe was found underneath the house and another reporting it was found on or under the rear doorstep ) . In the bedroom they found a straight razor laying in a pool of blood on the bed . They surmised that the murderer had entered the room and struck Joseph Maggio with the axe , breaking through his skull , then turned and struck Catherine Maggio in the same manner . The killer then cut Catherine ’ s throat from ear to ear with the razor , nearly severing her head from her shoulders , before commencing to bash her about the head and face with the axe . Police put their time of death between two and three in It was soon discovered that the straight razor used in the attack on Catherine belonged to Joseph ’ s brother , Andrew , who operated a barbershop at 123 South Rampart Street . Andrew admitted that he had brought the razor home to repair a nick in the blade but swore he had nothing to do with the murder of his brother and his wife . He was arrested two days later . Pleading his innocence , he told New Orleans Times - Picayune reporters : “ It ’ s a terrible thing to be charged with the murder of your own brother when your heart is already broken by his death . When I ’ m about to go to war , too . I had been drinking heavily . I was too drunk even to have heard any noise next door . ” After finding no further evidence indicating his involvement in his brother ’ s death , Andrew was released from jail a few days later . About a block away from the murder scene , police found a puzzling clue – a cryptic message written in childish handwriting with chalk on the sidewalk . “ Mrs . Maggio will sit up tonight just like Mrs . Toney ” Police recorded the message in their notebooks . They wondered if the message hinted that tonight ’ s murder was related to the 1911 axe murder of Tony Schiambra , the case that ended the string of gruesome axe murders that had taken place several years earlier ? Note : If readers are beginning to draw an eerie parallel to the Jack the Ripper murders that took place 30 years earlier , you are not alone . The parallels grew closer as the Axeman murders progressed leading some to believe that Axeman and Jack the Ripper were one and the same . June 1918 ( one month later ) – Axeman attacks Besumer family Shortly after 7 : 00 AM on June 28 , 1918 ( some reports indicate June 27 ) , a bread delivery man , John Zanca , was making a delivery to a small grocery store on Dorgenois and Laharpe streets , owned by Polish immigrant Louis Besumer , when he found the front doors to the store locked . Knowing that Besumer always opened his store on time , Zanca became concerned and went around to the rear of the store ( where he knew the Besumer ’ s lived ) and knocked on the back door . Louis Besumer answered the door – face covered in blood . Besumer explained to Zanca that he had been attacked and pointed towards the bedroom door . Zanca rushed to the bedroom where he discovered bloody footprints leading out of the room . Besumer ’ s presumed wife ( more on that below ) , Anna ( Annie ) Harriet Lowe lay on the bed , covered with a blood - soaked sheet . As with the Maggio attacks , investigators found that a wood panel had been chiseled out of the back door . They found a small , bloody axe , owned by Besumer , in the bathroom . Thinking that Besumer may have been implicated in the attack , he was arrested . Meanwhile , Besumer ’ s “ wife ” , Anna Lowe , was rushed to the hospital with a deep wound above her left ear . At the hospital she regained consciousness and was able to make a few ( bizarre ) statements to the police . Anna first claimed that she had been attacked by a “ mulatto ” ( newspaper accounts tell us a black man , Lewis Oubicon , was briefly held as a suspect the next day ) and then subsequently changed her story to blame Louis whom she claimed was a German spy . Given Shortly after the attack , newspapers reported that secret spy papers had been found in the home ( there is no evidence that this was true ) and that opiates were found in the bedroom . A neighbor interviewed for the story added that both Louis and Anna were crazed drug addicts . The attention around Anna Lowe and Louis Besumer soon erupted into a media circus which further muddled the police ’ s investigation of the attack . As if Anna ’ s bizarre statements to the police were not enough , Louis also began acting strangely . He admitted that Anna was not his real wife but that they had been living together . Besumer ’ s real wife arrived from Cincinnati in the days immediately following the attack which further inflamed the ongoing drama . Besumer requested that he be allowed to investigate the case on his own ( this only added to the police ’ s suspicions about him ) . Police began to recognize that both Louis and Anna were making false statements simply As events spun out of control , federal authorities were called in to investigate . Eight months later , Louis was tried and found not guilty . At the same time , two lead New Orleans investigators on the case were demoted due to unacceptable police work . August 1918 – Axeman attacks accelerate – terror grips New Orleans August 5 , 1918 – the Schneider attack The June 1918 Besumer attack had severely damaged nerves on the left side of Anna Lowe ’ s face but doctors felt they could repair the damage . They could not . On August 5 , 1918 , Anna was scheduled for surgery to her face . She died two days later of complications from the surgery . On the same day that Anna Lowe died , Edward Schneider returned to his home on Elmira Street late that evening after an unusually long day at work . When he entered his home , he noted that it was oddly quiet . He went into the bedroom where he found his pregnant wife covered in blood , her scalp cut open and several of her teeth knocked out . She was rushed to the hospital where after two days , she regained consciousness and was able to provide some details about the attack to the police . Mrs . Schneider recalled that she had been taking a nap when she awoke to find a “ dark figure Shortly after the attack , police arrested a man , James Gleason , who had attempted to run from them . He was later released due to lack of evidence . With no suspects in hand , police began to wonder if the attack was related to the previous incidents involving the Besumer and Maggio families . New Orleans citizens began to ask – is a serial killer loose in our city ? August 10 , 1918 – Axeman attacks Romano family On August 10 , 1918 , just five days after the Schneider attack , sisters Pauline and Mary Bruno were awakened early that morning by the sound of loud thumps coming from the room of their uncle , Joseph Romano . Pauline sat up in bed , letting out a piercing scream when she found a tall , dark figure standing over her ( some accounts say she saw the dark figure in the hallway ) . As Pauline wailed , the man bolted from the house . Later , Pauline expressed how nimble the fleeing attacker had been : “ He was awfully light on his feet . ” As the shadowy figure ( described as a dark - skinned , heavy - set man wearing a dark suit ) ran from the bedroom , Joseph Romano ( the girls ’ uncle ) entered the room covered in blood from several deep gashes etched in his face . Joseph was rushed to Charity Hospital where , two days later , he died from the wounds . Police were now beginning to recognize the Axeman ’ s modus operandi . As with the previous attacks , they found a door panel had been chiseled out of the back door and an axe was found lying in the yard . Oddly however , Joseph ’ s room ( unlike the other cases ) appeared to have been ransacked . New Orleans slips into panic After the surge in horrific attacks during the month of August , a media frenzy erupted and New Orleans slipped into panicked chaos . Bold headlines read : “ Is an Axeman at large in New Orleans ? ” For the first time , the axe - wielding serial killer had been given a name . The people of New Orleans were of course terrified . Sightings of the Axeman began pouring in from all over the city . One man , a grocer , found a wood chisel on the ground outside his back door . Another told of a panel gouged out of his door and an axe found lying in his yard . Another , upon hearing sounds , shot through the door , and when police came , they found signs that someone had chipped at the wooden door with a chisel . Police meanwhile , could offer no solution to the identity of the killer . There seemed to be no clear evidence left behind and what little evidence was found , seemed unusual . Fingerprints were never found at the scene but there was no evidence that the surfaces had been wiped down either . Victims seemed to be chosen at random although many , but not all , were grocers . The attacker took great pains to chisel away at the wooden doors but always left the chisel behind after completing his task . And strangest of all , Axeman It was at this time that John Dantonio , a retired detective , made public statements in which he hypothesized that the man who had committed the axeman murders was the same man who had killed several individuals in 1911 . The retired detective cited similarities in the manner by which the two sets of homicides had been committed as reason to assume that they had been conducted by the same individual . In what we now recognize as the cliché “ deranged serial killer ” , Dantonio described the potential killer as an individual of dual personalities who killed “ Students of crime have established that a criminal of the dual personality type may be a respectable , law - abiding citizen . Then suddenly the impulse to kill comes upon him and he must obey it . ” Axemen killings stop – and then begin again It remained eerily quiet for several months until Monday , March 10 , 1919 when another vicious attack occurred in Gretna , an immigrant suburb just east and across the river from uptown New Orleans . A 69 - year - old neighbor ( named variously as Lorlando , Jordano , and Jourdano ) heard screams coming from the house on the corner of Jefferson and Second Streets . Jordano rushed to the home where he found Mrs . Rosie Cortimiglia holding her dead two - year - old baby girl ( Mary ) in her arms . Next to Rosie was her husband , Charles Cortimiglia , laying in a pool of blood ( reports vary – some say he may have died later , after reaching the hospital ) . Investigators found the now - expected chiseled wooden frame removed from the door and noted that a pile of timbers had been carefully stacked by a fence to aid the attacker in his escape . A bloodstained axe was found underneath the kitchen doorsteps . Rosie recounted that her baby had been in her arms when the helpless child was killed by a single blow to the back of her tiny head . Her husband , Charles , fought with the attacker and was struck with repeated axe blows fracturing his skull . Police found no fingerprints and no money Rosie recovered from the deep gashes to her head and told police that she felt the attackers were Lorlando Jordano ( yes , the same Jordano that came to assist Rosie after hearing her screams for help ) and his 18 - year - old son Frank , a father and son team that were business rivals to the Cortimiglia ’ s . Rosie ’ s testimony at their trial was convincing and both were convicted , despite the fact that Frank ’ s 300 - pound frame could have never fit through the small hole in the kitchen door The bizarre Axeman letter from Hell – play Jazz or else Three days after the Cortimiglia attack , the editor of the New Orleans Times - Picayune received a strange letter which would draw even deeper parallels to the earlier Jack the Ripper murders . In the letter , which was published in all the local New Orleans newspapers , the Axeman said that he would kill again at 15 minutes past midnight on the night of March 19 , but would spare the occupants of any place where jazz music was being played . The letter , dated March 13 , 1919 with the words “ Hell ” written at the top of the page , read as follows : Esteemed Mortal : They have never caught me and they never will . They have never seen me , for I am invisible , even as the ether that surrounds your earth . I am not a human being , but a spirit and a fell demon from the hottest hell . I am what you Orleanians and your foolish police call the Axeman . When I see fit , I shall come again and claim other victims . I alone know who they shall be . I shall leave no clue except my bloody axe , besmeared with the blood and brains of him whom I have sent below to keep me company . If you wish you may tell the police not to rile me . Of course I am a reasonable spirit . I take no offense at the way they have conducted their investigation in the past . In fact , they have been so utterly stupid as to amuse not only me but His Satanic Majesty , Francis Josef , etc . But tell them to beware . Let them not try to discover what I am , for it were better that they were never born than to incur the wrath of the Axeman . I do n ’ Undoubtedly , you Orleanians think of me as a most horrible murderer , which I am , but I could be much worse if I wanted to . If I wished , I could pay a visit to your city every night . At will I could slay thousands of your best citizens , for I am in close relationship to the Angel of Death . Now , to be exact , at 12 : 15 ( earthly time ) on next Tuesday night , I am going to visit New Orleans again . In my infinite mercy , I am going to make a proposition to you people . Here it is : I am very fond of jazz music , and I swear by all the devils in the nether regions that every person shall be spared in whose home a jazz band is in full swing at the time I have mentioned . If everyone has a jazz band going , well , then , so much the better for you people . One thing is certain and that is that some of those people who do not jazz it on Tuesday night ( if there be any ) will get the axe . Well , as I am cold and crave the warmth of my native Tartarus , and as it is about time that I leave your earthly home , I will cease my discourse . Hoping that thou wilt publish this , and that it may go well with thee , I have been , am and will be the worst spirit that ever existed either in fact or realm of fantasy . The Axeman That night , the clubs and bars of New Orleans , filled to capacity with frightened citizens , played Jazz music all night long . No one was murdered that night . Louis Besumer goes on trial – found innocent In April 1919 , Louis Besumer ( whose mistress , Anna Lowe , had made accusations towards him before she died ) went on trial . The coroner testified that only a man much stronger than Besumer could have inflicted on himself the wounds that Besumer had . The jury took 10 minutes to find him “ not guilty ” of the murder of his common - law wife . Fall 1919 – the Axeman attacks pick up once again On August 10 , 1919 , Steve Boca ( also a grocer ) was asleep when an attacker struck him with an axe cracking open his head . Boca awoke during the attack to find a dark figure standing silently over his bed . Boca remained conscious and ran to the home of a neighbor , Frank Benusa , where he collapsed at the doorway . As in the previous attacks , police found that a panel had been chiseled from his door and an axe left in the kitchen . Boca survived the attack . Three weeks later , on September 3 , 1919 , 19 - year - old Sarah Laumann was found by neighbors in her bed at 2123 Second Street with multiple gashes on her head and several missing teeth . A bloody axe was found outside an open window which appeared to be where the attacker entered and exited the home ( no chiseled wood or other damage was found to the doors of the home ) . Laumann recovered from her injuries but could remember nothing about the attack . Axeman attacks one last time – the Pepitone murder On October 27 , events would unfold that would provide police their best suspect to date . During the early morning hours , Mrs . Pepitone ( some have identified her as “ Esther Albano ” ) heard the sounds of a struggle coming from her husband ’ s room , which was located adjacent to hers . As she rushed to the room , she nearly collided with a man fleeing the scene . Inside the room she found her husband , Mike Pepitone , laying in a pool of blood . Blood spatter covered the walls of the When police arrived , they found Mrs . Pepitone standing over the body of her husband . She stated quite simply : “ It looks like the Axeman was here and murdered Mike . ” Mike was rushed to Charity Hospital where he died from his injuries . Police found that a panel had been cut from the door and an axe left on the ground behind the back porch . Records show that they felt Mrs . Pepitone ’ s behavior after the attack was rather odd . Strangely calm , she told them she had seen two large men run from her home . Her husband would be the last known Axeman victim . Murder in LA – suspect emerges . . and shot to death About a year after the Pepitone attack and almost 2,000 miles away , an incident occurred in Los Angeles , California that seemed to reveal the identify of Axeman . Unfortunately , it is unclear whether the incident even took place as the crime researcher that presented the story ( Colin Wilson ) has never been able to provide verifiable evidence to back up his tale . According to the account , on December 2 , 1920 , Mrs . Pepitone ( whose husband was the last known victim of the Axeman ) stepped from the shadows of a Los Angeles street and shot a New Orleans resident named Joseph Mumfre . Mumfre was killed instantly and supporting her already odd behavior , Mrs . Pepitone calmly waited at the scene , gun in her hand , for the police to arrive . She told police that Mumfre was the man that had killed her husband – the man she had seen fleeing from her husband ’ After an investigation , police found that much of her story fit the available evidence . Mumfre had been in and out of prison his entire life and during periods when the Axeman attacks ceased , specifically the time between 1912 and the resumption of attacks in 1918 , Mumfre had been incarcerated in prison . In other words , during the times of the Axeman attacks , Mumfre had been free . It was also said that Mumfre left New Orleans immediately after the attack on Mrs . Pepitone , at which time the Axeman attacks suddenly stopped . Regardless , police found no direct evidence that Mumfre had been involved with the axeman attacks . Mrs . Pepitone received ten - years in prison for his murder . She served three years of the sentence and then disappeared . Whether or not the story is true is up for debate . A modern - day researcher was unable to find any police or public court records in New Orleans nor Los Angeles that mentioned a man named “ Joseph Momfre ” having been assaulted or killed in Los Angeles . In addition , other investigators have failed to find any record of Mrs . Pepitone being arrested , tried , or convicted for such a crime . There is simply no proof that the events described above really happened . Furthermore , it is known that the name “ Momfre ” and its variants was not an uncommon surname in New Orleans during the time of the attacks and many “ Momfre ’ s ” have been found to have criminal records , including one Joseph Momfre who likely had ties to organized crime ( one theory proposes that the Axeman attacks were Black Hand “ mob hits ” against grocers ) . Another interesting clue relates to the early May 16 , 1912 murder of Tony Schiambra ( her husband survived the attack ) . According to newspaper accounts of the day , a prime suspect in the attack was a man by the name of “ Momfre ” . Two of the accused are redeemed On December 7 , 1920 , Mrs . Cortimiglia , who had accused Frank and Lorlando Jordano of killing her husband and baby child , contracted smallpox and fearful that her life was at an end , retracted her accusation against the Jordano ’ s . She admitted that she had lied to the police – she simply wanted her business competitors out of the picture and had made the claims out of jealousy and spite . Both men were released from prison . Officially , the identity of the Axeman was unknown . Conclusion The common modus operandi ( MO ) in the attacks was the method of entry ( through a chiseled hole in a door ) and the weapon used in the attacks – an axe . The method of entry in particular is quite puzzling given the amount of work that it would take to chisel a panel from a door and the small size of the openings in the doorway that were created – many claim that the openings were too small for a grown man to pass through . It is also puzzling that the attacker left behind the It appears as if the motive for the attacks was not robbery as the attacker never removed items from his victim ’ s homes . The majority of attacks were against Italian - Americans leading some to believe the attacks were racially motived . Since many of the victims were grocers , some wondered if the attacks were Mafia hits conducted to pressure the businesses into paying “ protection taxes ” . Some have pointed out that most of the attacks seemed to target women and could have been sexually motivated , especially given the fact that Axeman seemed to only kill male victims when they obstructed his attempts to murder the women . His ability to quickly flee the scene ( “ as if he had wings ” ) and the fact that the door holes that he used to enter the homes were unusually small led the citizens of New Orleans to wonder if Axeman were even human or if , as his infamous letter stated , he was some sort of ungodly demon . Axeman was never identified and the cases remain unsolved . Additional Information How many Axeman victims were there ? The exact number of victims is unknown . According to Tales from The French Quarter , the number of Axeman victims could be much higher . “ In 1911 and 1912 , similar murders left forty - nine people slaughtered in their sleep across portions of Louisiana and Texas . The trail of carnage began in Rayne , Louisiana where a young woman and her three children were found slaughtered in their family home . A month later , a family of three had been found in the same manner in Crowley , Louisiana , then shortly afterwards , another four found dead in Lafayette . All of the victims were asleep when decapitated and dismembered with what appeared to be an ax . Entire families The Jake Bird connection ? In 2007 , the following appeared on Find a Grave and hints at a serial killer captured after committing a very similar set of crimes . Birth : Dec . 14 , 1901 Louisiana , USA Death : Jul . 15 , 1949 Walla Walla , Walla Walla County Washington , USA Jake Bird was known in the 1940 ’ s as the Nation ’ s Most Prolific Serial Killer . A drifter with no roots , born and raised in rural Louisiana , he was a transient , traveling around from State to State , taking up odd jobs , wherever he could , soon moving on . He did manual labor , mostly known as a “ Gandy Dancer ” on the railroads . On October 30th , 1947 , at the age of 45 , Jake breaks into the home of Bertha Kludt and her daughter Beverly June Kludt His father was Charles Bird and his mother was Delie Bird . He had two brothers , Andrew and Lem . Burial : Walla Walla Prison Cemetery Walla Walla Walla Walla County Washington , USA List of canonical Axeman victims Of the 13 people attacked by the Axe - man , only five survived . The victims of the Axe - mans rage were : Joseph Maggio May 22 , 1918 An Italian Grocer who was attacked while sleeping alongside his wife Katherine . Catherine Maggio was the wife of Joseph Maggio . . May 22 , 1918 . Louis Besumer , June 6 , 1918 , alongside his Mistress Anna Lowe . Survived Anna Lowe was killed while in bed with Louis Besumer .

William Carson September 2 1919 Fired at an unknown intruder Survived Mike Pepitone October 27 , 1919 Wife witnessed the attacker leaving . American Horror Story connection In 2013 , the miniseries American Horror Story : Coven features a “ mythological creature ” based on the Axeman of New Orleans . Much of the plot ( The Axeman Cometh ) was based on the true facts known about the New Orleans Axeman murders . Misc photos Below are a small collection of photos related to the case .

http://alternativeapproaches.com/wp/spiritual-sex-beyond-the-physical/ | Curtain Falls On Boston Rises On Bagdad The Stars and the Economy Spiritual Sex Beyond the Physical Linda E Savage PhD Spiritual sex encompasses sexual energy that goes beyond physical sensations of pleasure genital orgasms and even the loving connection of sexual communion Energy generated by sexuality can be transmuted into such experiences as healing the bodymindspirit visualization divining visions and balancing the genders through joining with universal energy The more cosmic experiences utilizing sexual energy are most likely to occur in ecstatic consciousness states The ancients believed that ecstatic union with the Source was the ultimate expression of sexuality Experiences of sexual energy that go far beyond ordinary reality can be terrifying without training in what to expect Attaining ecstatic states through sexual interaction may evoke disbelief or fear in some because it involves loss of the sense of the physical body The concept that we are more than mere physical bodies may be difficult to accept at first In fact we are an organized combination of several energy systems around a unifying field If we could see the subtle energy around us each of us would look somewhat like a luminous egg One does not have to spend years in training to experience spontaneous spiritual sex but it may be necessary to be receptive to the possibility of connecting higher states of awareness with peak sexual experiences Many people who become interested in spiritual sex have had initial spontaneous ecstatic experiences Spiritual sex is unlike the traditional process of genital stimulation and the release of tension through orgasm When it is consciously practiced there is a quality of mindfulness which is heightened awareness and expanded consciousness Descriptions of cosmic experiences of orgasm are similar to neardeath stories recounted by many people They The common themes in neardeath encounters religious transformations and cosmic orgasms are descriptions of extraordinary light luminous colors loss of the sense of a physical body and merging with energy There are also common descriptions of seeing the past and future traveling across time and space or overwhelming feelings of pure love The following example is reported by a 60 yearold woman who had been having spontaneous cosmic orgasms since childhood Megan had known a male friend for several years and they shared an interest in spiritual healing On this occasion they interacted sexually for the first and only time She said the whole night was a powerful feeling of dancing in the energy I did not know where he began and I left off It was beyond genital sex The full body orgasms I experienced moved through both of us and swirled around us appearing as a rainbow of molecular lights Her body had been a perfect conductor of the Life Force energy and she had transmuted this power effortlessly Megans story illustrates the spontaneous link between sex and spiritual states and it highlights a dilemma with partner sex Many other women have had similar experiences with a partner who negatively reacted to the overwhelming intensity of such sexual energy Three Levels of Sexual Energy Megans experience as well as that of other women who have moved into spiritual ecstasy was that her partner could not tolerate her sexual response because it seemed too intense You may have had a similar experience Although it is not always necessary for your partner to be at the same intense level of sexuality when he is not it is common for the experience to feel dissonant It is helpful to understand that three different levels of sexual energy are possible genital pleasuring conscious loving and spiritual union Each level is sexpositive and lifeaffirming and has a value in healing Each type of sexual energy can heal at the physical relational or cosmic level They are not sharply delineated one from the other but are on a continuum of energy generated and energy received activating various energy centers in the body They differ from each other in the purpose and meaning attributed to the sexual interaction Genital Pleasuring Genital pleasuring refers to the energy level generated not the particular physical activity The feminine way of genital pleasuring especially attends to the sensual process unfolding rather than a race towards orgasm The energy received through genital pleasuring is manifested in physical sensations of intense pleasure Orgasm at the level of genital pleasuring is a release of tension Healing at this level of sexual energy is directed towards physical functions Orgasm benefits the immune system and also promotes relaxation and a sense of wellbeing The purpose is recreation to play enjoy the moment and relax in the pleasures of physical Conscious Loving This level of sexual energy generates intense loving feelings for the partner The valley orgasm as it is called in the Tantric tradition goes beyond the release of tension in genital orgasm It requires practice in relaxing into sexual feelings and slowing down the build up of tension in order to prevent sudden dissipation of sexual energy The energy received is divine love The heart chakra rather than the genital chakra becomes the focal point The practice of conscious loving generates energy from the heart The meaning of this level of sexual energy is connection reinforcing commitment in a longterm Spiritual Union The energy generated by this level of sexuality is ecstasy The meaning of Spiritual Union is enhanced awareness inspiration and merging with the Life Force The purpose for sexuality at this level is to unite with the Source The energy received at this level is inspirationillumination that can be translated into divine guidance or simply experienced as pure bliss Cosmic orgasm is a completely different experience because it is multidimensional and has an infinite variety of patterns Genital Pleasuring and Conscious Loving are not separate from this experience but incorporated as an integral part of it If you choose to practice this with a partner you will need to communicate clearly with each other about your expectations It is important to recognize that your experiences of transcendence will be unique from your partners However it is helpful to feel a conscious bond with your partner You will need to foster the psychological mind set of healing and mutual empowerment in a setting which honors the other as divine GodGoddess SAVAGE BIO Linda E

http://alternativehealthatlanta.com/immune-system/sugar-and-your-immune-system/ | Sugar and Your Immune System Dr . Linus Pauling ’ s Forgotten Research Your body has a very efficient system for protecting itself from outside “ invaders ” such as viruses , bacteria , fungi , etc . The single most important part of this system is the body ’ s ability to identify and destroy any invaders that get inside . There is a fact that you may not know about your body ’ s immune system : EATING ANY KIND OF SUGAR HAS THE POTENTIAL TO REDUCE YOUR BODY ’ S DEFENSES BY 75 % OR MORE FOR FOUR TO SIX HOURS . This is not new data . In the 1970 ’ s Dr . Linus Pauling ( one of the greatest researchers in the field of microbiology ) discovered that vitamin C helps the body to combat the common cold . As part of the same research , Dr . Pauling found that sugar severely slows down this same process . This is very important to know , as using this information can prevent illness and dramatically assist healing . Because the idea that sugar is “ bad ” for you is so controversial , I am going to give you a quick , simplified tour through your own immune system so you can see for yourself what Dr . Pauling discovered . 1 . How Your Body Disposes Of Invaders Bacteria , viruses , etc . are literally “ swallowed ” by a special type of cell called a “ phagocyte . ” This is a cell , such as a white blood cell , that engulfs and absorbs waste material , harmful microorganisms , or other foreign bodies in the bloodstream and tissues . 2 . Vitamin C Dr . Pauling discovered that vitamin C is needed by white blood cells to engulf and absorb viruses and bacteria . In fact , a white blood cell has to contain 50 times the concentration of vitamin C as would normally be found in the blood around it . That ’ s how Dr . Pauling came up with the “ take vitamin C for a cold ” theory . In order to continue to destroy bacteria and viruses , the white blood cells have to accumulate vitamin C all the time to keep up the 50 - times concentration 3 . Sugar Glucose ( sugar in its simplest form , as found in the blood stream ) and vitamin C have a similar chemical structure . So similar , in fact , that when a white blood cell tries to pull in more vitamin C from the blood around it , glucose can get substituted by mistake . If the concentration of glucose in the blood goes beyond a certain concentration , the white blood cell ’ s 50 - times vitamin C concentration can start to drop because of the large amount of glucose it ’ s pulling in as a In fact , at a blood sugar level of 120 , the white blood cell ’ s ability to absorb and destroy viruses and bacteria is reduced by 75 % . This blood sugar level would be easily obtained by any normal person eating some sugar ( cake , cookies , candy , soda or even drinking fruit juice ) . Further , it can take four to six hours for the vitamin C concentration in the white blood cells to reach that optimum 50 - times concentration again . Conclusion As you can see , it ’ s not a great idea to eat any kind of sugar if you ’ re sick , including the much - recommended orange juice ( which may contain vitamin C , but this wo n ’ t help if the white blood cells ca n ’ t get past the sugar to use it ! ) . Further , if you were on a program of health improvement of any kind , sugar would be your number - 1 enemy ! No matter if you ’ re healing from an injury , either Talk to us about how to avoid sugar and some really great sugar substitutes you can use ! And the next time you go to the drug store and notice that the cough syrup contains mostly sugar , you can wonder as we do what happened to this valuable research that no one seems to know ? More Information Colds and flu are n ’ t the only reason not to eat sugar . Look through this list of other - sugar - related - ailments . If you are suffering from any of these , think about how much sugar you are ingesting . Here ’ s another article on a blood sugar stabilizing diet , it ’ s similar to the Mediterranean - type diet . This is a very simple and delicious way to cut back on the sugar . If you have any questions , please send us an email , we ’ ll be happy to help . | [

It is the central continent in the Celtic Rules world ’ s economy and politics . History of Europe The Roman Empire at its peak The first civilization to rise in Europe was Ancient Greece , which to a large extent set basis to later European culture . The Roman Empire once dominated the southernmost parts of Europe , and the Germanic and Slavonic tribes dwelt in northern and eastern Europe . The Germanic Viking civilization flourished in Scandinavia . Western and mainland Europe , on the other hand , being mostly inhabited by the Celtic peoples , were dominated by the Celts throughout most of the history . The Celtic Balkans once were dominated by the Slavonic - influenced Turkic tribe of Bulgarians , and the Khazars established a strong empire in the central parts of Europe , which later dissolved . The Huns in Europe Several peoples used to invade Europe from the neighbouring Asia , including the Slavonic - influenced Khazars and Bulgarians , and the Huns , who established a large empire in central and eastern Europe and northern Asia . European sailors discovered lands across the Western Ocean during the period of discovery , exploration , and increase in scientific knowledge . The marine countries of western and southern Europe have established several dependencies in the Colonies region across Atlantic , and founded several colonial coastal towns in Ghana , on the coast of Black Africa The Great European War was fought in Europe by the Axis Powers ( consisting of Germany Bulgaria Iberia , and Occitania ) and the Allied Powers ( consisting of the Kingdom of Two Crowns Russia , and various Celtic nations all across the continent ) . The Axis Powers were defeated and forced to give up on some parts of their territories by the Treaty of Palermo , the Kingdom of Naples and Sicily , resulting in a new political map of Europe . Geography and extent Political map of Europe Europe spreads from the Scandinavian Peninsula on the north to the Mediterranean Sea on the south , and from the Western Ocean ( Atlantic ) on the west to Russia and Persia , in Asia , on the east . There are 42 countries in Europe , some of which have long histories as independent nations while others have only appeared on the political map of Europe just recently , following the Great European War Alba Milanese Anatolia ( Galatia ) Andalusia Kingdom of Aragon Arbania ( Dardania ) Avaria Basque Principality Bohemia Bosnia ( Vanyar Realm ) Britain Brittany Kingdom of Bulgaria Catalonia Cornwall Cumbria Dalmatia ( Adria ) Dioclea England Galicia Gaul Germany Greece Iberia Ireland Khazaria Latium Lithuania Mœsia Superior Great Moravia Kingdom of Both Sicilies Poland Russian Empire Scandinavian Realm Scotland ( Alba ) White Serbia Sindar Realm Stari Vlah Volcæ Frontier Wales Wallachia Wallonia Welschland The countries of Europe Alba Anatolia Andalusia Aragon Arbania Avaria Basque Bohemia Bosnia Britain Brittany Bulgaria Catalonia Cornwall Cumbria Dalmatia Dioclea England Galicia Gaul Greece Ireland Khazaria Latium Lithuania Mœsia Moravia Naples and Sicily Poland Scandinavia Scotland Serbia Sindar Vlah Volcæ Wales Wallachia Wallonia Welschland defunct nations Kingdom of Alba Armorica Bavaria Cisalpine Gaul Crimea Epirus Illyria Lapland Moldova Two Crowns Occitania Rome Sindar - Moravia Suomi Sweden Syrmia Demographics of Europe Languages of Europe There are several ethnic groups in Europe , the largest of which are the Celtic peoples , who inhabit most of the central , western , southwestern , and southeastern parts of Europe .

During the history they ’ ve influenced the Baltic Lithuanians and Turkic Khazars Bulgarians Northern Europe and parts of central Europe are inhabited by the Germanic tribes such as the Germans Anglo - Saxons , or Vikings in Scandinavia .

The Celts across Europe use different ethnonymes , including Gæl Welsh Vlach Quend ( related to Celt ) etc . The Celtic languages can be divided along linguistic lines into five groups : Insular Celtic : Gælic or Goidelic group , consisting of the Irish Scottish Manx languages ; Brittonic or Brythonic group , consisting of the British Welsh Breton Cornish Cumbric Pictish languages ; Continental Celtic : Celtiberian group Iberian language and its dialects in Andalusia , Aragon , Catalonia , and Iberia ; Gaulish group Gaulish language and its dialects in Gaul , the Volcæ Frontier , and Wallonia , as well as the related Celtic languages and dialects spreading over the European continent , including Lepontic Noric Galatian languages ; and Vlach group in the Balkans , consisting of : Quendian languages , including Avarin and its dialects , Quenya with its two dialects , Telerin Sindarin with its dialects , and Nandorin ; and Adûnaic language and its dialects in Dalmatia , Dardania , and Dioclea . Slavonic peoples and languages Slavs inhabit eastern Europe and some parts of central Europe . It is believed that they came to Europe from Asia . Some Slavonic peoples are extinct now , but some non - Slavonic peoples such as the Baltic and Turkic peoples in Europe and Uralic and Turkic peoples in northern Asia have been influenced by the Slavs , mostly by accepting the Slavonic language and alphabet . The Slavs themselves have been influenced by the Hunes who ruled over eastern Europe for a long time . Slavonic nations in Europe include : Moravia Serbia , the most prominent of which is the Russian Empire . Significant Slavonic minorities also exist in neighbouring countries , such as Lithuania , Khazaria , and Germany . The Slavonic languages are mutually very similar and nearly almost intelligible . They are usually divided along linguistic lines into three groups : East Slavonic , including Russian Lithuanian Khazarian West Slavonic , including Polish Serbian Bohemian Moravian ( which has two dialect – one in Moravia and one in Galicia ) ; and South Slavonic Bulgarian and its dialects throughout the Balkans .

http://altmedicine.about.com/od/hairloss/a/Biotin-Hair.htm | Skin Health Skin Care & Cleansing Products Hair & Scalp Care The Health Benefits of Biotin Biotin Is Believed to Stimulate Hair Growth , Reverse Hair Loss Print By Cathy Wong | Medically reviewed by a board - certified physician Updated March 17 , 2019 Article Table of Contents Health Benefits Side Effects Dosage and Preparation Food Sources Hair Loss Back To Top Biotin is a B vitamin often recommended for hair health . Since biotin deficiency can lead to thinning of the hair , proponents claim that taking biotin supplements — in pill or tablet form — or using biotin - enriched shampoo and hair products can thicken hair and stimulate hair and nail growth Health Benefits Biotin is an essential vitamin — meaning that your body needs this micronutrient to function properly . The biotin you consume in foods helps your body to turn the food you eat ( protein , carbohydrates , and fat ) into energy . Taking a biotin supplement is likely effective for treating biotin deficiency . But many health products boost other health claims related to biotin supplement consumption and many of these health benefits have not been supported by scientific evidence . Biotin and Hair Growth So does taking a biotin supplement make your hair grow faster or fuller ? There is n ' t enough evidence to rate biotin ' s effectiveness in the treatment of hair loss , according to the National Institutes of Health ( NIH ) However , hair loss is a symptom of biotin deficiency , so biotin supplementation is thought to benefit people with hair loss or thinning hair who have a biotin deficiency . Manufacturers claim that shampoo , conditioner , and hair oils , masks , or creams containing biotin can thicken hair , increase fullness , and add shine . Despite these claims , there are no scientific studies to show that biotin shampoo or any other hair product can make your hair grow faster or thicker . Biotin and Other Benefits Other possible benefits of biotin include the treatment of brittle finger or toenails , diabetes , diabetic nerve pain , muscular sclerosis , and diabetic nerve pain . There is insufficient scientific evidence to know for sure if biotin can treat any of these conditions . Possible Side Effects Biotin supplements can cause problems if you ingest too much . Side effects can include skin rashes , digestive upset , problems with insulin release , and kidney problems . According to a report published in the New England Journal of Medicine , biotin treatment was said to interfere with laboratory tests and mimic Graves ' disease . As with any supplement , the safety of long - term or high - dose use is n ' t known . Dosage and Preparation The U.S. Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) has not established a recommended dietary allowance ( RDA ) for biotin . According to the Food and Nutrition Board of the Institute of Medicine , 30 mcg is the daily adequate intake for adults 19 years of age and older , which can usually be achieved through dietary consumption . Although there is no recommended dietary allowance for biotin , proponents often recommend taking 2 to 5 mg ( 2000 to 5000 mcg ) of biotin in supplement form daily in order to strengthen hair shafts and achieve results . Although biotin is a water - soluble vitamin ( the excess is excreted in urine and feces ) , there is no evidence to support this recommendation and the safety of regular use of this amount is n ' t known . As with other supplements , biotin has n ' t been tested for safety in pregnant women , nursing mothers , children , and those with medical conditions or who are taking medications . You can find out more about how to use supplements safely here Biotin deficiency can occur in people who drink alcohol excessively or consume a great deal of raw egg white ( which contains avidin , a protein that blocks the absorption of biotin ) . Two or more uncooked egg whites daily for several months has been known to result in biotin deficiency . Genetic disorders of biotin deficiency ( such as biotinidase deficiency ) , renal dialysis , and smoking may also increase your need for biotin . Certain drugs may reduce biotin levels , such as carbamazepine and other anticonvulsants , antibiotics , or isotretinoin . Since biotin is produced in the intestines , people with inflammatory bowel disease or other conditions that can disrupt the balance of bacteria in the intestines may not be able to adequately produce biotin . If you notice any symptoms of deficiency , consult your health care provider . Symptoms include thinning of the hair , brittle nails , dry skin , a red scaly rash ( especially around the eyes , nose , and mouth ) , conjunctivitis , depression , exhaustion , hallucinations , and numbness and tingling of the arms and legs . What to Look For It is likely that you get enough biotin naturally in the food you consume . Biotin deficiency is believed to be uncommon . Bacteria in the intestines usually provides more than the body ' s daily requirements and biotin is also in a variety of common foods . Most people can meet their daily biotin needs by consuming biotin - rich foods like brewer ' s yeast , nutritional yeast , liver , cauliflower , salmon , bananas , carrots , cooked egg yolks , sardines , nuts , legumes , and mushrooms . Biotin - Rich Foods Food sources of biotin ( in micrograms per 100 grams ) include : Egg yolk ( 53 ) Oats ( 27.0 ) Wheat germ ( 17.0 ) White mushrooms ( 16 ) Spinach ( 6.9 ) Cheese , brie ( 6.2 ) Milk ( 3.5 ) Pork ( 5.0 ) Carrot ( 5.0 ) Apple ( 4.5 ) Tomato ( 4.0 ) Beef ( 3.0 ) Chicken ( 2.0 ) Lettuce ( 1.9 ) Other Questions What can I do about thinning hair ? Thinning hair and hair loss can be very distressing . If you ' ve noticed that you ' re losing your hair or that your hair is thinning , it ' s important to see your health care provider to determine the cause . Hair loss , particularly in women , can have an underlying cause other than biotin deficiency , like nutritional deficiencies , androgenic alopecia ( also called pattern hair loss ) , and hormone imbalances ( such as thyroid troubles ) . I think my hair loss is due to a biotin deficiency . Should I take a supplement to see if it helps ? Although you may be eager to halt the hair loss , taking biotin tablets or supplements without being assessed poses the risk that diagnosis and treatment of the underlying cause will be delayed . Although biotin deficiency is considered rare , it can result in hair loss that can be addressed with supplementation . If you have symptoms of biotin deficiency or are thinking of taking it , be sure to talk with your healthcare provider to assess your levels and discuss what ' s best for you .

http://altreligion.about.com/od/alternativereligionsaz/p/Peyote-And-The-Native-American-Church.htm | Humanities Religion & Spirituality Peyote and the Native American Church A Spiritual Tradition With an Illegal Hallucinogen Federica Grassi / Getty Images by Catherine Beyer Updated March 24 , 2019 The Native American Church teaches a combination of Christianity and traditional Native American beliefs . As such , its practices can vary significantly from tribe to tribe , as indigenous practices vary widely across the Americas . Among those practices is the use of peyote in ceremonies . Yet , before you understand why and how it ' s used , it ' s important to understand the Church itself . The Native American Church The Native American Church ( NAC ) originally formed in the state of Oklahoma . It continues to primarily operate in the United States , particularly in the western states , as well as in parts of Canada . The term " Native American Church " does not apply to those Native Americans who solely follow traditional tribal beliefs . Nor does it apply to Native Americans who are entirely Christian . Followers of the Native American Church are monotheists , believing in a supreme being commonly addressed as the Great Spirit . The Great Spirit often works through a variety of lesser spirits . Jesus plays a prominent role in their beliefs , he is often equated with the spirit of the peyote plant . Care of family and tribe and the avoidance of alcohol are central values of the Native American Church . Tradition vs . Drug Laws Many Native American tribes traditionally made use of a chemical known as peyote in their religious rituals . As the United States government became more involved in the control of various drugs , users of peyote were facing potential legal issues related to their religious use of it . The Native American Church was officially created in 1918 to bypass this problem . By practicing an organized religion , it was much easier for peyote users to argue that peyote use should be constitutionally protected as a religious practice . Peyote use is commonly illegal in the United States , but an exception is made for its use in Native American church rituals . Even so , there are limitations on what users are allowed to do under its effects , such as operating heavy machinery . In this matter , peyote is treated much the same way alcohol is . What Is Peyote ? Peyote is the bud of a particular type of spineless cactus , Lophophora williamsii . It is found in the deserts of the Southwestern United States and Mexico . The plant is known for its hallucinogenic properties . Peyote buds are commonly chewed for a more intense experience , but they can also be brewed into a tea for a more mild effect . Native American Peyote Ceremonies Outsiders commonly think of peyote as simply a means of getting high , but those who use it for religious purposes see it as being sacramental . The plant is understood to be sacred , and ingestion of it brings the user into a closer understanding of the spiritual world . Chewing peyote buds and drinking peyote tea are central practices of the Native American Church . These ceremonies commonly last all night , often starting Saturday night and ending Sunday morning . Singing , drumming , dancing , scripture reading , prayer , and the sharing of spiritual ideas are often included as well . Larger doses – and , thus , more intense hallucinations – may be used to accomplish specific goals . They can allow the user to more fully interact with the spiritual world . Smaller doses , often delivered in a drink , are used in a manner similar to that of smoking ganja by Rastas . It can be used to open the mind and free it to better comprehend things beyond that of the mundane world . Continue Reading | [

http://altweb.astate.edu/composition/paper_2.htm | Over the past few years , many school boards have debated the issue of students wearing school uniforms . Several schools have introduced this rule into school policy , while several others are still discussing the subject . Although wearing uniforms is a minor change for students , it is an effective and much needed one . Wearing school uniforms can be helpful in many ways . First , having matching outfits can make all students feel equal . Poor students would no longer feel excluded because they were not wearing name brand clothing like the richer kids . In addition , social status would be less of an issue because everyone would be wearing the same clothing . One of the biggest arguments against school uniforms is that students would lose their sense of individuality . I believe that uniforms will improve students ’ individuality because they will have to express themselves through their personality and Secondly , uniforms will allow more time for studying . Students who have to wear a uniform will spend less time shopping and more time studying than those who do not have to wear uniforms . Also , students will be more focused on their schoolwork than worrying about what they will wear the next day . Students will arrive at school earlier because they will not be trying on several different outfits each morning . Having an outfit already chosen for students is one less thing for them to worry about in their already stressful lives . Most importantly , school uniforms will save money . Parents will no longer have to spend a fortune on school clothes because they will only need to buy a few uniforms . Of course , parents will still have to buy their kids clothes for weekends , but the quantity of clothes that they buy will be lowered . While most students will disagree , every school should introduce uniforms into its policy . Students should go to school to learn and not have to worry about being judged by the clothes they are wearing . Uniforms will not only improve the atmosphere of the school , but will also raise the self - esteem of most students and save money for most parents . | [

http://alzheimers.emedtv.com/vitamin-e/vitamin-e-dosage.html | Vitamin E Dosage An Introduction to Doses for Vitamin E Vitamin E dosing can be confusing , with several different forms of the vitamin and different recommendations and guidelines . This article will address some of the confusing issues concerning vitamin E dosing and will also discuss what is a reasonable dose . Vitamin E Dosing Guidelines Vitamin E dosing can be extremely confusing , since there are different ways to measure vitamin E content . Although current recommendations use milligrams ( mg ) , most supplements still use international units ( IU ) . Converting between mg and IU is not straightforward , since natural vitamin E ( RRR - alpha - tocopherol , historically known as d - alpha - tocopherol ) is more active than synthetic vitamin E ( all - rac - alpha - tocopherol , historically known as dl - alpha - tocopherol ) . The synthetic form contains several different " The Institute of Medicine ( IOM ) has established an RDA ( recommended dietary allowance ) for vitamin E ( given in mg of alpha - tocopherol , a measure that takes into account only certain forms of alpha - tocopherol ) . Refer to the following table for RDA values for vitamin E doses , along with the conversions for IU for different forms of vitamin E : Age RDA ( in mg of alpha - tocopherol ) Equivalent in IU ( for d - alpha - tocopherol ) Equivalent in IU ( for dl - alpha - tocopherol ) 1 to 3 years 6 mg per day 9 IU 13.3 IU 4 to 8 years 7 mg per day 10.5 IU 15.6 IU 9 to 13 years 11 mg per day 16.5 IU 24.4 IU 14 years and older 15 mg per day 22.5 IU 33.3 IU Pregnant women 15 mg per day 22.5 IU 33.3 IU Breastfeeding women 19 mg per day 28.5 IU 42.2 IU For nutrients that can cause toxicity , a " tolerable upper intake level " ( UL ) is given . This is the maximum dose that can be taken without causing significant toxicity . Refer to the following table for UL values for vitamin E dosages : Age UL in ( in mg of alpha - tocopherol ) Equivalent in IU ( for d - alpha - tocopherol ) Equivalent in IU ( for dl - alpha - tocopherol ) 1 to 3 years 200 mg per day 300 IU per day 220 IU per day 4 to 8 years 300 mg per day 450 IU per day 330 IU per day 9 to 13 years 600 mg per day 900 IU per day 660 IU per day 14 to 18 years 800 mg per day 1200 IU per day 880 IU per day 19 years and older 1000 mg per day 1500 IU per day 1100 IU per day Notice that the conversion ( from mg to IU ) for dl - alpha - tocopherol is different when calculating RDA versus UL . This is based on the idea that only some of the forms of vitamin E in dl - alpha - tocopherol contribute to the RDA , but all forms may contribute to toxicity ( for the UL calculation ) . | [

How can this be achieved ? Dr . Neil Nedley ' s book Proof Positive provides good insight into how to achieve this goal in a practical way . Here is a summary of the key points : Adopt a daily diet that meets these guidelines : 1 . 60 - 75 % complex carbohydrates . 2 . 15 % protein . 3 . Avoid eating animal protein , including milk protein ( casein ) and eggs . 4 . 0 % cholesterol . 5 . 10 - 25 % fat , from vegetable sources , especially nuts . 6 . No caffeine . 7 . Calories not restricted , but avoid eating so much you become overweight . 8 . Avoid sugar , especially in combinations with milk , as in custards , puddings , powdered milk , pancake mix , ice cream ; also Parmesan cheese . 9 . Eat foods high in arginine — roasted pumpkin seeds , soybeans , lentils , garbanzo beans ( chickpeas ) , red kidney beans , baby lima beans , walnuts , almonds , firm tofu . 10 . Eat 15 - 40 grams of fiber per day , esp . water - soluble types as is found in fruits , vegetables , nuts , grains and legumes in their unrefined state . 11 . Avoid fat substitutes , such as olestra . Olestra decreases absorption of vitamins A , D , E and K and depletes the body of Vitamin E with prolonged use . No known fat substitute is safe . 12 . Avoid margarine . Use olive oil instead . 13 . Avoid coconut . It ’ s high in saturated fat . 14 . Avoid eating large amounts of peanuts because of their high fat content . Eat almonds , walnuts , and pecans instead . 15 . Eat nuts 5 times a week in moderate portions — 50 - 75 gram ( 1.76 - 2.65 oz . ) serving sizes . 16 . Eat foods containing folate , Vitamin B6 , Vitamin B12 , as is found in fortified soymilk and fortified breakfast cereals . 17 . Get at least 60 IU of Vitamin E every day . Good sources include wheat germ , vegetable oils , legumes , nuts ( especilly almonds ) , whole grains , and green leafy vegetables . 18 . Eat foods containing beta - carotene . Avoid supplements ( they ’ ve been proven harmful ) . Good sources include carrots , tomatoes , broccoli , strawberries , watermelon , pineapple , yellow types of squash , leafy green vegetables like kale , collards and mustard greens . 19 . Eat foods high in antioxidants , such as garlic , onions , broccoli , alfalfa sprouts , red beets , red peppers , cauliflower , cabbage , winter yellow squash , and carrots . 20 . Avoid eating excessive iron , as is found in animal products . 21 . Drink eight 8 - oz . Glasses of water each day . 22 .

http://amazinghealth.com/charcoal-therapy | Share with others : Tweet Introduction Many old - fashioned remedies are going out of fashion , not because they are ineffective , but because an art is required for their management , and a sufficient degree of labor required that most people are unwilling to provide . Orally administered charcoal is effective in preventing many intestinal infections . All studies show that charcoal is harmless when ingested , when inhaled and when it comes in contact with the skin . Charcoal is without a rival as an agent for cleansing and assisting the healing of the body . The grains of charcoal have many crevices and corners for the adsorption of materials , gases , foreign proteins , body wastes , chemicals and drugs of various kinds making it a powerful assistant to the cleansing apparatus of the body . The total surface area of the sum of the particles is a small cube of charcoal only 2 / 5 ths of an inch on each side is one thousand square meters , a field more than thirty three yards square ! The uses of charcoal are almost as universal as those of water , both commercially and medically — and like water it can be freely used as a healing agent . Because charcoal can pack molecules of ammonia gas into its crevices , it can attract 80 quarts of ammonia gas per 1 quart of pulverized charcoal ! It may be used internally or externally , and for a range of disorders from bee stings and other venomous bites In 1773 , Schelle made an experiment with charcoal in which a gas was trapped in an inverted tube with charcoal , the lower end of the tube submerged in a container of mercury . Most of the gas disappeared as evidence by a rise of mercury into the tube . As the gas was absorbed by the by the charcoal , a vacuum appeared in the tube and sucked the mercury up into the tube . As a demonstration of the effectiveness of charcoal , Bertrand in 1913 survived after swallowing 5 grams of arsenic trioxide mixed with charcoal Materials for Making Charcoal Charcoal can be produced from a number of different materials . Charcoal made from burnt toast is apparently entirely worthless , and the so - called “ universal antidote ” with glycerine , tea and charcoal is decidedly inferior to plain charcoal , the tannic acid in the tea decreasing the effectiveness of charcoal . Tannic acid as found in many herbs precipitates alkaloids , certain glycosides , and many metals . It interferes with the usefulness of charcoal as an antidote . Willow charcoal , ( or any commercial charcoal ) is quite effective against bad breath , gas Charcoals made from vegetable material such as wood and coal , contain about 90 % carbon , whereas bone charcoal contains about 11 % carbon , 9 % calcium carbonate , and 78 % calcium phosphate . Bone charcoal is quite effective in decolorizing solutions , and is used widely in the sugar industry for this purpose . Charred coconut or black walnut shells make very good adsorptive material . Such materials as blood , cereal , fruit pits , kelp , corn cobs , rice hulls , distillery wastes and paper mill wastes have all been used to make Activated charcoal is produced from the controlled burning of wood or bone , and is then enhances the adsorptive power of charcoal by developing an extensive internal network of fine pores in the material . The activation process was invented somewhat after the turn of the 20 th century , but charcoal was already recognized as a very useful healing agent , illustrating the efficiency of ordinary charcoal . Nobody has really understood the mechanism by which charcoal works , either from a physical or chemical standpoint . Charcoal made in the kitchen from such items as bread or burned foods is definitely inferior or poor , and may be harmful if used on a regular basis . Wood charcoal is preferred since it does not develop the harmful chemicals ( such as methylcholanthrene and benzopyrene ) sometimes formed from burned fats . When making your own charcoal , pieces of charred wood from the fireplace or grill can be used . The ultimate in making your own charcoal begins with a wood fire out - of - doors . After the wood is burning brightly , it should be covered with a large piece of tin , and dirt piled over the tin to make a dome in excluding air . As the heat continues to burn the wood without oxygen , the soft parts of the wood are burned out and hard parts remain , making a good charcoal . The The commercial tablets as compared to finely powdered charcoals have been found less effective by about half . In one study humans who took pulverized charcoal were able to prevent absorption of a drug by 73 % , whereas those taking the tablets prevented only 48 % . A tablet contains 0.44 gm total material has only 0.33 gm of charcoal , the remainder of the material representing starch and other substances used to hold the tablets together . Chewing the tablets well before swallowing will increase their effectiveness . General Features Charcoal has been used to combat odors in air and water , to remove carbon dioxide from air in submarines , to filter poisons in gas masks , in making medicines , and coloring candy jellybeans and licorice . Charcoal may be powdered and placed in a jar lid on a shelf , in the refrigerator , oven , or a drawer and it will absorb a variety of odors , including rancid odors . It is useful in removing odors from casts , skin ulcers , and gastrointestinal gas , and as a cigarette filter . Herbicides applied to bath , and for use in an exchange column to perfuse blood . Except for the occasional finding of irritation or bowel in certain inflammatory states in very sensitive persons , and the prolongation of the transit time sometimes seen , there are no known contraindications to the use of charcoal . Allergies have not been reported . It is inexpensive , harmless , and easily applied . It is available readily through commercial channels , or can be made at home . Care should be used in applying charcoal poultices to freshly broken skin . It is possible to get a tattooing effect if the lesions extend through the skin into the dermis . For such wounds , it is wiser to use comfrey poultice to avoid the possibility of tattooing an area not usually covered by clothing . Dosage of Charcoal One can buy charcoal powder , tablets , or capsules . The activated capsules are roughly twice as potent as the tablets . Drug stores or health food stores often carry charcoal . The oral dosage is 1 tablespoon of powder stirred into a glass of water , 4 capsules of activated charcoal , or 8 regular tablets taken in the mid - morning and repeated in the mid - afternoon . Food interferes with its effectiveness . Charcoal probably should not be taken regularly over long periods — years — as some nutrients may be absorbed . We have Charcoal may be ordered from Uchee Pines Institute , Rt . 1 , Box 273 , Seale , Al . 36875 . Because of interference with effective absorption of toxic materials in the gastrointestinal tract , it is estimated that 10 grams ( about 1 tablespoon ) of charcoal can absorb only about three to seven grams of material , making it necessary to give at least twice the amount of charcoal as suspected weight of the poison taken . There has been some discussion as to whether food and partially split derivatives of food , digestive enzymes , and various secretions usually found in the gastrointestinal tract would inhabit adsorption of drugs or poisons by charcoal . It has been found that there is approximately 50 % reduction in effectiveness of adsorption with charcoal due to stomach contents , 30 % reduction due to bile , and very minor reduction due to duodenal juice . So when a poison has been ingested , to be on the safe side use approximately eight to ten times the estimated weight of Charcoal adsorbs poorly mineral acids , alkalis and salts such as table salt and iron . There is some advantage in recognizing this particular characteristic of charcoal , since in the area of nutrients , charcoal is a poor adsorbent . Every year children die from poisoning from table salt and iron . Extra large doses of charcoal should be used when these substances have been swallowed . In combating poisons , the speed with which the charcoal is administered will determine to a certain degree the success . Additionally , the quantity of charcoal is a determinant of success . For venomous bites or poison ivy , immediately was the area well with soap and water , or flood with a solution of charcoal . After this brief preparation the poultice can be applied . In cholera , give 2 heaping teaspoons of pulverized charcoal four times daily , and supplement with 1 - 2.5 L of normal saline intravenously if the patient is unable to drink Charcoal Reactions in the Intestinal Tract Charcoal reaches its maximal rate of adsorption extremely rapidly , within one minute . In thick or viscid fluids such as the intestinal or stomach juices , adsorption might be delayed somewhat , but can still be expected to be very rapid . In the past some have questioned the effects of the pH in the gastrointestinal tract on charcoal and its adsorbed materials , as to whether poisons might dissociate farther down and be absorbed into the blood . It has been found that charcoal forms a stable complex with toxic materials , and does not dissociate the toxins further down the gastrointestinal tract for later absorption into the blood stream . It has also been found that charcoal does not significantly adsorb nutrients . Two groups of rats were tested to determine if one group fed an identical diet with another group could be made to have deficiency disease by feeding charcoal . It was discovered that the two groups of rats were identical with or without charcoal . Charcoal added to the diet of sheep for 6 months did not cause a loss of nutrients , as compared with sheep not receiving charcoal . Blood tests showed no significant difference between the two groups of animals , and there were no visible signs of any nutritional deficiency . At autopsy no differences either grossly or microscopically could be detected . A level of 5 % of the total diet was given as charcoal . It did not affect the blood or urinary levels of calcium , copper , iron , magnesium , inorganic phosphorus , potassium , sodium alkaline phosphatase , total protein or urine in pH . It is of interest that although the animals inhaled some of the powdered charcoal , no ill effects could be demonstrated in the microscopic sections of the lungs and other structures of the chest . Workers in charcoal manufacturing plants have been studied to determine the effect of breathing the dust of charcoal . It was found that the incidence of any respiratory symptoms was extremely low ; suggesting that breathing the dust was quite innocuous . Ideally both vomiting and inactivation of the poison should be combined in the early treatment of acute poisonings . Syrup of Ipecac and apomorphine both bring up only 30 % of the poison in the stomach , meaning that they are inefficient in preventing poisoning by inducting vomiting , as 70 % of the poison is retained in the stomach . Lavage of the stomach is another method for treating poisoning , but the use of charcoal is far more effective and easy . It is non - toxic , and maintains its potency indefinitely in closed container and can be conveniently and safely administered at home . Activated charcoal is very well tolerated , even in amounts up to 100 grams ( about 3 / 4 of a cupful of pulverized dry powder ! ) and there is no known contraindication to its use in acute poisonings . It is immediately effective and can be safely used by non - Charcoal adsorbs well at body temperature , but not so well at elevated temperatures . Heating in the oven causes substances that have been adsorbed to be released . Charcoal can be reused once or twice by washing , allowing settling , pouring off the fluid and drying the charcoal in the oven at a high temperature ( about 350 degrees ) but not high enough for the charcoal to ash . Substances can be adsorbed from a water solution better then from an organic solvent . Salts such as sodium chloride and potassium nitrate are not readily absorbed by On the skin , charcoal has been found to have no observable harmful effects . It will adsorb cancer - producing agents which , when free on the skin , are capable of producing skin cancer . It will effectively adsorb such known cancer - producing agents as methylcholanthrene and benzopyrene . Once a substance is adsorbed onto charcoal , washing with blood plasma or gastric juice will not cause the adsorbed material to adsorb , the toxic material having been bound so firmly that it will not be removed by ordinary means . Substances Adsorbed by Charcoal Acetaminophen , Aconitine , Alcohol , Amphetamine , Antimony , Antipyrine , Arsenic , Aspirin , Atropine , Barbital , Barbiturates , Cantharides , Camphor , Chlordane , Chloroquine , Chlorpheniramine , Chlorpromazine , Cocaine , Colchicines , Cyanide , Delphinium , Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid , Digitalis , Diphenylhydatoin , Diphenoxylates , Elaterin , Ergotamine , Ethchlorvynol , Gasoline , Glutethimide , Hemlock , Hexachlorophene , Imipramine , Iodine , Ipecac , Isoniazid , Kerosene , Lead acetate , Malathion , Mefenamic acid , Meprobamate , Mercuric chloride , Methylene blue , Methyl salicylate , Morphine , Muscarin , Narcotics , The Charcoal Poultice A charcoal poultice for a large area such as the abdomen or a knee joint , can be made as follows : 3 tablespoons flaxseed ground in a blender or seed mill , and mixed with 1 - 3 tablespoons of pulverized charcoal . Stir this mixture into one cup of water . Let it set for 10 - 20 minutes , or heat slightly to thicken . Put 3 tablespoons of charcoal and 3 tablespoons of flaxseed ( congeals faster if it is first ground in a blender ) in a pot with 1 cup water . Bring to a boil while stirring . It becomes a gelatinous mixture . Spread over a square of paper toweling of the proper size , using enough to make the paste 1 / 4 - inch deep on the paper towel . Cover with another square of toweling . The edge of the poultice should not have paste spread on it for about ½ to 1 inch all around to minimize leakage . Place the poultice on the skin , cover with a piece of plastic that with an old towel to catch leaks that may develop . Use a binder or roller bandage to hold in place , pinning securely . Leave Spread the thickened charcoal - flaxseed material over a piece of cotton cloth or double thickness paper towel . Cover with a single thickness cloth or paper towel . Lay the poultice over the affected area . Cover with plastic wrap , and hold in place by roller bandage such as strips of bed sheeting , an old towel , or an ace bandage . Pin securely with safety pins . In order to make a poultice for a bee sting , spider bite or other venomous bite , simply dissolve a spoonful or more ( determined by the size of the area to be treated and seriousness of the affliction ) of charcoal powder , or crush up several charcoal tablets in plain water , spread the paste over a folded piece of facial tissue or paper toweling , making the poultice fit the area to be treated , and folding the poultice over the area . The tissue or towel should be thoroughly moistened with the paste . The Cover the poultice with a plastic piece cut from an ordinary bread bag , large enough to lap over all sides by at least one inch . Fix the poultice in place by a roller bandage , an ace bandage , or adhesive tape . A snug - fitting garment , such as a knitted cap , can be used over a charcoal compress to hold it on the eye or over the sinuses . A sweat shirt can help hold a charcoal compress snugly against the chest . Charcoal Poultice with Hops or Smartweed Make the poultice essentially the same as the plain charcoal poultice described above , but add to the paste fresh or dry commercial hops by simply crushing the leaves and adding them to the charcoal paste . Fresh leaves may be whirled in a blender for a few seconds with a small amount of water before adding to the charcoal . To convert this poultice to a stupe , which may give a greater reaction , simply apply a moderately hot fomentation over the poultice and leave in place for about 20 minutes . Remove the fomentation , dry off any moisture and cover well with a sweater or snug fitting shirt for the night . Charcoal and Flaxseed Poultice Mix one tablespoon of charcoal powder in a cup with one tablespoon of flaxseed which has been ground in a blender . Add 1 / 3 cup of water and mix thoroughly . Bring to a boil , and use the thick material to spread on a linen piece or folded paper towel , as in the plain charcoal poultice . Charcoal as an Antidote for Bites and Stings Externally , venomous bites can be readily treated with charcoal . Fire ants leave a sterile abscess under the stings from the venom which kills a tiny area of tissue . An ordinary band - aid , wet slightly and rubbed with a charcoal tablet until it is entirely black , and applied as a mini - poultice combats ant stings . The same treatment is effective for mosquito bites , chigger bites , and poison ivy . The perfect treatment for bee stings is a charcoal poultice . Many years ago we had a young co - worker who was stung on the finger by a yellow jacket . He spent one sleepless night due to pain , and was about to go into his second when he decided that he would apply a charcoal poultice . At that time none of us had used charcoal poultices for yellow jacket stings and did n ’ t know what to expect . Within five minutes the pain was gone and he slept all night . Since that time A few years later a lady who had been told that she would probably die if she were ever stung again by a honey bee , received a bee sting on the thumb while walking near the home of a friend . Within two minutes she had begun to sweat all over , had developed a headache , and had severe pain in the thumb . A charcoal poultice was quickly applied and the general reaction entirely subsided within 5 minutes . Although she usually experienced massive swelling after bee stings , this time she had no trace of swelling We have not had experience in treating snakebites with charcoal , but physicians who have successfully used it find it a good treatment . In isolated areas where antivenin is unavailable , and for snakebites for which there is no antivenin , we would immediately apply a very large charcoal poultice veering almost an entire extremity , centering over the bite , using large quantities of powdered charcoal wet with water , replacing the charcoal poultice about ever 10 to 15 minutes . The sooner the charcoal is applied , the more effective the treatment should be , as swelling in snakebites begins within 10 minutes . We recommend that charcoal be carried in a pocket for first aid when individuals are hiking in snake infested woods , so that the charcoal can be applied to any venomous bites promptly . Once swelling begins , the venom may not be able to transfer into the charcoal easily . Ten charcoal tablets should be taken by mouth immediately . As long as the pain and swelling are being controlled by the poultice we would The treatment of choice for the brawn recluse spider is charcoal . There is no other recognized treatment except wide surgical excision . There is no known antidote . The brown recluse spider produces a bite that gives little or no pain at first . In 24 hours a purplish red zone develops around the bite , and extensive tissue death occurs . It may produce a very deep and angry ulceration extending down to the bone , which lasts for weeks or months . We have had three brown recluse spider bites successfully treated with charcoal , which produced Specific Uses for Charcoal 1 . Tylenol ( Acetaminophen ) : Acetaminophen poisoning can be treated with charcoal , as can cobra venom , diphtheria toxin , and numerous ingested poisons . 2 . Aspirin : Activated charcoal used for aspirin poisoning is quite effective . In 1967 , 17,995 cases of aspirin poisonings were reported , mostly involving children under five . Dozens of deaths result from such poisoning . Activated charcoal should be given promptly . In one study , when no activated charcoal was taken with a dose of aspirin , approximately 99.6 % of the aspirin was absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract . The figure dropped to 58.9 % in subject given 10 grams ( about 1 tablespoon ) of activated charcoal immediately after taking aspirin . If the administration of 3 . Bad Breath : Charcoal can be used for bad breath , cleansing both the mouth and the gastrointestinal tract . Even odor - producing substances that are secreted into the gastrointestinal tract high up will be adsorbed and their excretion through the lungs prevented . Odors produced in the mouth can be counteracted by proper cleansing of the teeth , tongue and gums by a soft , bristle brush , and then holding a charcoal tablet in the mouth for 20 - 30 minutes . 4 . Cancer : The anemia experienced in cancer can be treated with charcoal since this anemia is usually due to the toxins produced by cancer . The toxins are haemolytic and can be adsorbed onto the charcoal administered by mouth . The pain produced by cancer can often be controlled by charcoal poultices . Pain in bone , abdomen , and elsewhere will often respond readily to charcoal poultices . Charcoal poultices have been reported to completely check round cell sarcomas in dogs . Mouse cancer has not responded well . 5 . Colostomy and Ileostomy Odor : As a fecal deodorant for patients who have ileostomies or colostomies , doctors have used activated charcoal routinely three times daily to reduce odors with good effect . Interestingly , only one - third of patients continue this practice after five years , although initially they eagerly accept the treatment . It may be that they learn to handle the equipment better or become more skillful in avoiding certain foods that are more likely to cause odors . No apparent ill - effects from long term use have been described , even for these nutritionally marginal patients . 6 . Eye and Ear Conditions : The eyes are really another lobe of the brain . A treatment to the eyes can result also in a treatment to the brain , and it is well to remember that such afflictions of the brain as meningitis and encephalitis may respond somewhat to charcoal poultices and other treatments applied to the eyes . Since inflamed tissue behind the eyes can become congested , if one level of temperature does not feel good to the eyes , change to another ; if heat applied to the eyes does not feel good , change to cold , or the other way around . Often that which feels most agreeable will be the most effective treatment . Cellulites of the face , eyelids and ears can be effectively treated with a poultice of charcoal . Otitis media or otitis externa can be treated by a charcoal poultice molded over the exterior of the ear . A heat lamp used over the poultice to keep it warm can increase its effectiveness . Keep moistening the poultice under the drying lamp . 7 . Internal Gas , Diarrhea , Indigestion : Flatulence and abdominal distension can be readily treated with charcoal to good advantage . Use four capsules or eight tablets as often as three or four times a day . Nervous diarrhea with irritable or spastic colon is greatly helped by taking charcoal . For bed patients who produce malodorous stools , charcoal can be a great assistance . For indigestion , use powdered charcoal stirred into a little olive oil for cleansing and healing . For indigestion , peptic ulcers , or other forms of gastrointestinal distress , the fluid resulting after charcoal has been stirred into water and allowed to settle may be quite helpful . Stir about 1 tablespoon of charcoal into a large glass of water and allow the black part to settle to the bottom . The slurry water on top may be drunk with good results . Visible particles in the suspension may be observed by shining a light obliquely through the water . Patients who are already taking a moderate amount of charcoal may benefit from taking their drinking water in this form . 8 . Infections : Activated charcoal can absorb bacteria , viruses , bacteria toxins , and hormones . Charcoal has been reported to disinfect wounds , and to act as a deodorizer in various bodily ills . Charcoal can be used for wound dressings . An electronmicrograph of the foot and mouth disease virus . Public Domain https : / / commons . wikimedia . org / wiki / File : Electronmicrograph_of_the_foot - and - mouth_disease_virus . png . . . On the body ' s surface , charcoal will absorb wound secretions , bacteria , carcinogens , toxins , products of allergies , and will reduce swelling by taking up excess tissue fluid and products of inflammation . Charcoal works better in an acid than in an alkaline medium . Charcoal has been used internally in Asiatic cholera , dysentery , diarrhea , and dyspepsia . Foot and mouth disease virus in a 1 % suspension can be entirely absorbed on charcoal if used in the amount of 10 grams of charcoal per 100 millilitres of fluid . The virus is not destroyed , but its activity is much reduced . Wood and coconut charcoal are less effective than bone charcoal for absorbing foot and mouth disease virus . Sheep - pox virus is absorbed on bone charcoal effectively . Suspensions of colloidal charcoal have been used intravenously in 100 cases of septicaemia , metritis , mastitis , lymphangitis , and pyogenic wounds . After the infusion of charcoal there was seen an increase in the number of neutrophils and elevated body temperatures returned to normal within one hour . The charcoal reportedly is filtered out in spleen , lymph nodes , liver , and other reticuloendothelial areas . Since patients receiving intravenous charcoal have sometimes experienced shortness of breath , it seems proper to say that capillaries in the lungs were plugged by the charcoal , at least temporarily Since charcoal increases the intestinal transit time in some individuals , it is properly used in diarrhea . Baur reported in 1928 that the administration of charcoal to experimental animals doubles transit time . 9 . Inflammation : We have had cases of cellulites that have been painful , feverish , and throbbing . It is no exaggeration to say that within 5 minutes after putting on a charcoal poultice the patient feels relaxed and in complete comfort . It is a miraculous thing to witness this reaction . E . G . White once said , “ One of the most beneficial remedies is pulverized charcoal in a bag , and used in fomentations . This is a most successful remedy ; if wet smartweed is boiled , it is better still . I have ordered this in cases where the sick were suffering great pain before the close of life . When I suggested charcoal , and the patient has slept , the turning point came , and recovery was the result . To students , when injured with bruised hands , and suffering with inflammation , 10 . An Insecticide : Activated charcoal and clay samples have shown insecticidal activity . Activated charcoal has high levels of insecticidal activity even at 95 % relative humidity , and 30 degrees Celsius . The insecticidal effectiveness increases with the fineness of the particles and the hardness number . 11 . Jaundice : The need for exchange transfusion in babies with erythroblastosis fetalis has been cut by more than 90 % with the use of charcoal . All jaundiced newborn babies with a serum bilirubin over 10 milligrams may be given 0.5 grams ( about half a tablespoon ) of charcoal in sufficient water to pass through a nipple every 2 - 3 hours . Since serum bilirubin usually reaches 20 milligrams percent before an exchange transfusion takes place , the charcoal regimen affords an earlier therapy , and will often stabilize the bilirubin at much less than 20 milligrams . Neonatal jaundice , caused by an excess of bilirubin in the blood , is relatively frequent in infants , particularly those that are premature or those that are breastfed . Normally , a large quantity of blood is broken down in the first few days of life , putting quite a load of work on the liver . At this time the liver is still immature and can not process a great load of broken down blood cells . Breastfeeding enhances jaundice of the newborn , since a hormone in the milk retards the process of bilirubin by the liver The very first case of neonatal jaundice on which we used charcoal was a breastfed baby who developed jaundice on the fourth day of life . The baby was sent to the laboratory with his father , and the first total bilirubin level was 12 mg % on the 5 th day , 14.5 mg % twelve hours later , and 16 mg % 6 hours after that . A consultant agreed with our suspicion of an ABO incompatibility . At this point we began 6 hourly bilirubin determinations and appropriate associated laboratory tests . When the bilirubin rose to 18 mg % the consultant prepared for an exchange transfusion . That same hour the mother began administering as much charcoal as she could get the baby to accept and sat in the sunlight with the baby undressed in her lap , giving over an hour of exposure to both front day . 12 . Kerosene , Gasoline , Lighter Fluid Ingestion : Charcoal can absorb some gasoline , kerosene , lighter fluids , and cleaning fluids that children may accidentally ingest , which may cause an involvement of the lungs and central nervous system . Since charcoal is not as efficient in absorbing these substances , a much larger quantity of charcoal in relation to the offending fluid should be swallowed than for other poisons . 13 . Liver Failure : Patients with hepatic failure can be treated even in the home , but especially by hemoperfusion through columns of charcoal which extract most amino acids , drugs , and toxins from plasma . Individuals who have acute liver failure should be given large quantities of charcoal by mouth in an attempt to prevent toxins from building up in the blood . 14 . Metabolic Problems : Orally administered activated charcoal given for 4 - 8 weeks to six adults suffering from renal insufficiency showed that their serum triglycerides fell an average of 36 % and serum cholesterol by an average of 67 % . Urea , uric acid , and creatine were not significantly affected . It is felt that the direct binding of lipids and bile acids in the intestine by charcoal produces these results . Itching in patients on long - term dialysis can be relieved by charcoal by mouth . 15 . Mushroom Poisoning : Mushroom poisoning can be effectively treated with charcoal , even 24 hours after eating Amanita phalloides . Unconscious patients can be given activated charcoal by gastric tube . 16 . Pain : For abdominal pain use pulverized charcoal on the abdomen as a poultice , laying it over the entire abdomen and sides . Often great pain can be relieved in a short while by the use of charcoal poultices on the abdomen . The pain of sore throat , earache , sprains , arthritis , pleurisy , and all other pains should be given a trial of charcoal poultice . The pain that may have gone unabated for hours is often relieved in ten minutes . 17 . Theophyllin : Theophyllin , which is often given for respiratory tract problems in children , has a very narrow therapeutic index before toxic range is reached . Frequent acute overdoses can be expected , especially among children , since there is increased usage of this drug . Physicians and parents who prescribe and use drugs that can be dangerous to children should always have on hand activated charcoal ready for immediate administration . 18 . Women ’ s Diseases : In 1930 Nahmacher reported on his experience with charcoal . He stated that he had treated spontaneous abortions by watchful management , unless hemorrhage required surgical interference . Only in criminal abortions , produced by external interference , did he see fever . In numerous abortion cases having admission temperatures up to 100.4 he was able to prove that in almost all cases the temperature fell to normal in 24 hours at most , and convalescence was entirely free of fever when granulated charcoal was introduced into the uterus through the cervix by means of one or two charcoal He reported that fever after the birth of a baby was very favorably influenced by intrauterine charcoal therapy . As soon as a foul smelling discharge and low grade fever set in , the patients were treated five to six days with certain medicines , an ice bag , raising the head of the bed by 25 cm ( about 8 inches ) to aid escape of the discharge , and if no improvement occurred , charcoal was introduced into the uterus on the seventh day under the strictest aseptic precautions . In all cases reduction in temperature occurred the The technique for insertion is as follows : 1 . Cleanse the vaginal opening and the vagina . Insert a vaginal speculum . 2 . Hook the anterior lip of the uterine cervix and cleanse the cervix of mucus and pus . 3 . Grasp the charcoal pencil with a dressing forceps , dip two or three times in sterile water , and carefully insert it through the cervical canal to beyond the internal os . There is no need to dilate the os . Two or three pencils may be introduced if the uterine cavity is large enough , one toward the right , the second toward the left , and the third in the midline . Gauze is left against the os . “ Always study and teach the use of the simplest remedies , and the special blessing of the Lord may be expected to follow the use of these means which are within the reach of common people . ” Learn more about charcoal as a natural remedy Disclaimer : This article is provided by a third - party source .

I mix in the seasonings because they just burn and get bitter when sprinkled on the surface . But I do salt the surface liberally just before cooking or while on the grill . Occasionally , if I want to do something wild and crazy , I sprinkle some of my Cow Crust spice blend in the mix . But I never add salt . If the meat is a bit too lean , mix in some finely chopped uncooked fatty bacon . Avoid adding wet ingredients like wine , Worcestershire sauce , etc .

" Give a man a burger and he will gladly pay you Tuesday . Teach a man to make a burger and he will feed his family as if every day is Sunday . " Meathead Return to Top E - coli can kill . Here ' s how to be safe Undercooked ground meat and sausage can kill . It can happen to you or someone you love . In 1993 four children died from hamburgers contaminated by the virulent bacteria pathogen Escherichia coli O157 : H7 purchased at Jack in the Box restaurants . According to health officials as many as 70,000 Americans fall ill from E - coli O157 : H7 each year , most of them as a result of tainted hamburger meat . According to USDA , " the very young , the very old , and those with immune systems that have been weakened by cancer , kidney disease , and other illnesses are most at risk and vulnerable to illnesses associated with contaminated food . " If someone shows symptoms of illness , do not hesitate , get to the emergency We ' ll call this common bug E - coli for short from now on , although there are many other strains of E - coli that are harmless . In addition to E - coli , Salmonella , Campylobacter jejuni , Listeria monocytogenes , and Staphylococcus aureus , can be found in ground beef and can cause illness . They can not be seen or smelled . There are also spoilage bacteria that are harmless to humans , but deteriorate the meat ' s quality . In meat , E - coli comes from fecal matter in the intestines of the cow . It gets on the surface of the meat during butchering from ( 1 ) fecal matter that is on the hide because feed lots are crowded with cattle and their waste , ( 2 ) fecal matter in the intestines if they are accidentally sliced open during butchering , ( 3 ) fecal matter that spilled from intestines onto the floor of the slaughterhouse or butcher shop , or ( 4 ) from knives , grinders , other equipment , other meat , E - coli O157 : H7 is primarily a problem in ground meats , not steaks . It is found only on the surface of the steaks . They do not work their way into the muscle or fat far beyond the surface . They die rapidly when you cook a steak ' s surface past 160 ° F , even if the interior is red rare . Even if your grill is at a low 225 ° F , the exterior of a steak will hit 160 ° F fairly quickly and be safe . The problem arises when E - coli is a problem for all ground meats and sausages unless they have been pre - cooked like hot dogs . Industry and government inspection for E - coli is not very thorough . The detection process is expensive , there are not enough inspectors , and USDA inspects only meat headed for interstate commerce . Some meat is inspected by state inspectors , and most is not inspected at all . If your trusted grocer is sold contaminated meat and grinds it , it can contaminate the grinder and all the meat ground that day . Knowing your butcher is not a guarantee of safety . It is important to remember that " sell by " dates are no guarantee of safety . USDA recommends that you store ground meat at 40 ° F or lower and that you cook or freeze it within two days after purchase . E - coli does not reproduce at cold temps . Now here ' s an interesting question : Some fast food joints promote the fact that their burgers are never frozen . So which would you rather eat , a burger that is frozen right after grinding and shipped to a franchise three states away , or a burger that is not frozen and shipped three states away ? You can read more about E - coli , how it gets into hamburgers , and the nature of the problem in an excellent and frightening article in the New York Times . Click here to read the USDA article on ground beef safety . Are rare and medium rare burgers over - rated ? Food safety experts want us to cook ground meats to at least 160 ° F to kill bacteria . Burger fiends want them red in the center , which means they are risky . There is good reason to serve rare to medium rare steaks . Steaks are tougher and drier when cooked to medium well or well done . But the quest for rare burgers may be wasted effort . If trimmed and ground properly , ground beef is never tough . It has been pre - chewed by the grinder . If cooked properly and you use a high fat blend , it will remain juicy . Even at 160 ° F . But what about flavor ? The fact is that browned ground beef has more flavor . Browning is the result of chemical reactions and the result is more flavor . Think back to the last time you tasted raw ground beef and the last time you tasted browned ground beef . Which had more flavor ? Which would you rather eat , uncooked ground beef , or browned ground beef ? If you must have medium rare burgers , there are four ways To kill bugs in burgers , according to USDA and every book on the subject , you need to take the inside above 160 ° F . That ' s well done . To tell the temp of the burger , there is no substitute for a good digital instant read thermometer But the 160 ° F guideline is a simplification . Pathogens start croaking at about 130 ° F . But at that temp , it takes a long time to kill them . Ground beef held at 130 ° F in the center for 121 minutes is considered pasteurized and sterile ( 10 7 kill rate ) . The time gets lower as the temperature goes higher . So beef at 140 ° F degrees will be sterile in just 12 minutes , while at 160 ° F degrees , pathogens are destroyed in just 7.3 seconds , hence the USDA guidelines for the consumer . Take it up to 160 ° F for as little as 7 seconds and you ' re safe . Center Temp Time to Pasteurize 130 ° F 121.0 minutes 135 ° F 38.3 140 ° F 12.1 145 ° F 3.8 150 ° F 1.2 155 ° F 23.0 seconds 160 ° F 7.2 165 ° F 2.3 If you want medium rare burgers , there are some options : ( 1 ) Buy irradiated beef . My study of the subject tells me irradiated beef is perfectly safe and healthy . But it is hard to find because a lot of people are scared of radiation in all forms ( except when they get their teeth and bones X - rayed , and that ' s a LOT higher dosage ) . Click this link for more information on irradiation from Omaha Steaks ( 2 ) Pasteurize the meat . Food scientists say that if you dip a piece steak in boiling water ( 212 ° F ) for 10 seconds before grinding it yourself , it is made safe . I have tried it , and although the exterior turns gray , it grinds well and makes fine flavorful rare patties . ( 3 ) Sous vide . You can also have rare burgers by using the sous vide method of slow cooking the patties in a vacuum bag in an immersion bath of 131 ° F water for two hours . ( 4 ) Perfect control . If you had a really accurate thermometer and perfect control over your grill temp , you might be able to grill a big fat burger at , say 225 ° F , when it hits say , 125 ° F , crank the heat back to 135 ° F , hold it there for 40 minutes , and then sear the exterior on high heat for flavor . If you must have lean burgers I like my burgers juicy so I grind the meat myself to about 20 to 30 % fat . If you like your burgers lean , you risk dry , hard hockey pucks . To combat this , finely chop onions and mix them in the patties . They add moisture . The smart folks at America ' s Test Kitchen and Cooks Illustrated have come up with a very clever way to keep lean beef from drying out , by adding a panade ( a paste of bread and milk ) to the ground beef . Here ' s how : For 2 burgers , remove and discard the crust from half of one slice high - quality white sandwich bread , and chop it into 1 / 4 " pieces , to make about 1 / 4 cup . Add 1 tablespoon whole milk and mash it into the bread until you have a paste . Mix this in with the meat . As strange as it seems , this mash holds moisture in well done burgers . Key concepts of cooking hamburgers The way to get your burgers done properly is the same way you get to Carnegie Hall : Practice . Practice . Practice . You may have to experiment three or four times to perfect your technique . But you ' ll get it , and then all who know you will prostrate themselves in your path . The secret to any experiment is to change only one variable at a time and take notes or keep a cooking log For example , if you are cooking with charcoal , count the briquets so you can use the same amount every time . If you are using gas , use the same settings every time . But remember , wind and air temp will influence the cooking . If you cook in a frying pan , use the same pan every time . A black cast iron pan will produce different results than a shiny stainless steel pan . If you oil the pan with beef fat , do the same thing every time . Butter and cooking oil have Most importantly , at the experimental stage , never vary the thickness of your burger or the temp at which you cook it . Then you will get a sense for how long it takes to get it done properly , and you can learn the color of the outside and the feel of the meat that tells you when the inside is ready . As you approach perfection , you can fine tune cooking temp and thickness . To achieve Burger Zen Master status , you must understand the concepts covered in my articles on meat science and thermodynamics of cooking . A short recap of germane points : The perfect burger has two parts , the exterior and the interior . You want the exterior as dark as possible , but not black , and you want the interior juicy and safe . You want beefy flavor unmasked by condiments and mix - ins . The exterior . The surface is significantly impacted by the cooking method . If the meat is cooked on a hot griddle , as it is in most diners , the surface is in direct contact with the heat and it cooks by conduction , browning evenly across the surface . If it is cooked on a grill , most of the meat cooks by radiant heat . The small amount of surface where the meat is in contact with the grates cooks by conduction . First , generously season the exterior with salt just before cooking . Then spread a thin layer of oil on the exterior . If you oil the patty you make it harder for moisture to escape , plus the oil transmits heat faster to the meat , so you do n ' t need to oil the griddle , pan , or grates . Fat helps the Maillard reaction caramelization , two chemical changes that create dark brown color , crunchy texture , and a deeper , richer , sweeter flavor . The interior . The center of the burger does n ' t care much about which method of cooking you use because it cooks by heat conducted from the exterior . As the surface gets hot , moisture and fats transfer the heat like a bucket brigade from the outside in . You can not tell by the color of ground meat if it is cooked safely . Some burger interiors turn brown as low as 130 ° F , so a brown burger can still be rare . Size matters There are two very different cooking methods depending on whether you are doing thick Steakhouse Steakburgers or thin Diner Burgers . For details , read my articles on Steakhouse Steakburgers and Making lots of burgers ? If you are making lots of burgers the famous chef Heston Blumenthal of The Fat Duck in the suburbs of London , England , recommends a process like this : Gather the strands as they come out of the meat grinder and lay them parallel on a sheet of aluminum foil in a strip . Stack the strips until they are about 5 " high and 5 " wide . Roll the foil so they form a log about 4 " in diameter . Twist the ends like a Tootsie Roll . Toss in the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm it up . Then , with a serrated knife , slice the roll right through the foil into 3 / 4 " disks . Then remove the foil Enter the Build a Better Burger Contest and win $ 50,000 ! Founded in in 1990 , the Build a Better Burger contest , sponsored by Napa Valley ' s Sutter Home Winery , has grown to incredible proportions . The judges read thousands of entries each summer , then narrow the field down to their top 30 , which they cook and score to select the 10 finalists ( five beef burgers and five " alternative " burgers . The authors are flown to Napa Valley to compete in a cook - off on the last weekend of September . The Grand Prize for the Best Beef Burger is $ 50,000 , and a prize of $ 10,000 goes to the Got a good recipe ? Check out their website for entry forms and rules . Want a good recipe ? Lots of them there . The emphasis is on the garnishes for beef burgers , and there are a lot of fun ideas . The " alternative burger " recipes are a font of inspiration with great ideas for fish , pork , chicken , you name it . So what are the secrets of a Zen Master ' s Burger ? Finding out has taken me a whole year , a longer odyssey than any other cooking technique I ' ve tried to conquer on your behalf . Whooda thunk the humble burger was such a pain ? Do n ' t expect perfection the first time you try my methods , but do expect improvement . You ' ll get closer each time you do it . By the third attempt you should have everyone ' s attention . Remember , in any form of experiment , you must set up a repeatable system in which you can change only one variable at a time . If you make your first batch on a charcoal grill , do n ' t switch to a cast iron griddle and change the meat blend at the same time . One variable at a time . Soon you ' ll know what the restaurants and I know : You ' ll know the gestalt of the Zen Master ' s Burger and be well on your way to making your home a hamburger heaven . Begin by throwing out all your preconceived notions about cooking burgers . Never buy " hamburger " or " ground beef " for burgers If top quality is your goal , never ever ever nohow noway buy something labeled " hamburger " or " ground beef " for making burgers . Save these for chili or sloppy Joes . Hamburger or Ground Beef can legally come from practically any muscle on the animal . You know the old joke about " lips and sphincters ? " You got it . They usually contain up to 30 % fat , may include seasonings and flavor additives , may be treated with ammonia ( yes , ammonia ) , may be frozen and then defrosted . Technically the difference is that , if the meat is packed at a USDA inspected plant , " hamburger " can have fat scraps added and " ground beef " can not . But the USDA inspects only meat that crosses state lines , so if it is ground by your grocer , practically any muscle can be in there . Butchers toss trimmings from any old cut in there , and much of the stuff in preformed patties comes from old bulls and no longer productive dairy cows , not known for the tastiest meat . A maximum of 30 % fat by weight is allowed in either hamburger or ground beef and both may have seasonings , but no water , phosphates , extenders , or binders added . I prefer to add my own seasonings . Much hamburger and ground beef comes from processing plants many miles away and if it is not frozen , it can be several days old when you buy it . Keep in mind that your grocer and butcher may grind and package their own meat at a central warehouse or in the store , and their facilities are not USDA inspected unless they ship across state lines . The fat content laws , however , apply to all grinders . Buy meat and have your butcher grind it for you If quality is your goal , whenever possible you should ask your butcher to grind your meat while you wait . You pick the steak , and she grinds it . Pre - ground meat , even some of the better cuts of pre - ground meat , such as ground chuck , may have been ground miles away and days ago . Once meat is ground , it begins to oxidize . If you want to buy ground meat , try to buy it at a store with a butcher in the back room who can grind for you . In grocery stores , butchers usually come in early in the morning , and leave before 5 p.m. They are probably not on duty on Sunday . Find out when your butchers are in , and get to know them by name . Ask them to grind meat for you . You want at least 20 % fat , not 15 % as called for in many cookbooks and online recipes . Many top chefs now recommend 20 to 30 % fat , especially if you cook the meat to USDA recommended safe temps of 160 ° F . That ' s right , you do not want lean burger because fat brings a lot of flavor , moisture , and crispness to the party , and it helps hold the patty together . Face it , burgers are not diet food so we ca n ' t eat them every day . But when we do crave one we want a good one , and that means at least 20 to 30 % fat . The easiest thing to do is pick a nice looking " choice " grade chuck , with plenty of fat , and if necessary , ask the butcher to add some fresh white fat trimmings to get the blend up to 20 to 30 % . Go ahead . Get it 30 % . Especially if you plan to cook it well done . Ask for a coarse grind , using the 1 / 4 " holes , only once through the grinder , and ask for it to be packaged loosely . Many butchers grind beef fine or grind it twice . Not for you . It should come out looking like thick wavy spaghetti . Coarser grinds and looser pack make for an uneven surface plus air pockets inside , and that ' s good . If you ca n ' t get your meat ground to order , buy pre - ground chuck which is usually about 15 to 20 % fat . Ground round is usually about 10 to 15 % fat . If you buy ground sirloin , you are getting only about 5 to 10 % fat . Alas , these are not precise standards . The fat content can vary from one store to another , from one steer to another . While you ' re at it , ask for some suet ( beef fat ) to freeze and mix in the next time your meat is too lean . I have never been charged for it . Your butcher may even grind it for you . If not , you can grind it easily in a food processor . Do n ' t get just any fat . You want fresh white fat , not yellow fat . I ' ve been known to freeze fat trimmed from my briskets and add it to my burger grind . Wrap it Another option for lean meat is to add finely choped raw bacon into the blend . Select the fattiest strips . This is an amazingly effective trick , and bacon brings flavor and salt . That ' s why we love bacon on top of our burgers . Better still , grind your own The best way to control quality is to grind your own hamburgers . That way you can select the exact cut from the counter , control the fat to lean ratio , get the freshest meat , reduce oxidation , and even reduce risk . Click here for my article on grinding your own hamburger meat . It ' s easier than you think . The best cuts and grades for grinding Do n ' t waste money on the tenderest steak cuts from along the back of the steer : Ribeye , filet , or strip . The grinding process will make tough cuts tender . The Hamburger Zen Master wants inexpensive meat that has great beefy flavor like short ribs ( side ) , chuck ( shoulder ) , flank steak ( belly ) , skirt steak ( mid - chest ) , sirloin ( hip ) , hanger steak ( diaphragm ) , or brisket ( front - chest ) . Vogue Magazine ' s esteemed food writer Jeffrey Steingarten reports that most of New York City ' s best burgers are a blend of chuck and brisket , with some chefs adding hanger steak or short rib meat . His personal house blend is two parts chuck , two parts short rib , and one part brisket . That seems like a lot of trouble to me . Short ribs . This is my favorite cut of meat for hamburger taste wise . It packs good steak flavor , and , even though it is a tough cut of meat , if ground and cooked properly , it can produce excellent burgers . My favorite burgers are 100 % shorties . But this is a more expensive cut than chuck ( below ) unless you can catch it on sale . Short ribs come from the short plate , from the side of the steer , and are usually heavily marbled with 20 to 30 % fat . Read my article on The Science of Beef Ribs . Most of the time they come with a bone attached , so you ' ll have to cut it off and save the bones for soup or stock . Sometimes you can get them boneless . First you have to cut the top layer of fat off because there ' s a tough " silverskin " below it most of the time . You want to see meat on the top . Then you cut it off the bone . There ' s a leathery cartilage between the meat and bone , so leave it behind . Bone in beef stock . I have had problems grinding short ribs in my stand mixer because there is some gristle that clogs the plate , so I often ask my butcher to grind it with her heavy duty grinder . Chuck . This is the cut most of the top burger joints use . Ground Chuck comes from the shoulder and usually ranges from 15 to 20 % fat . It has good flavor and texture , especially if freshly ground . To grind your own or have your butcher grind , get either boneless or bone in , it does n ' t matter . But get chuck steaks not chuck roast . Chuck roast has too much sinew , and if you try to grind it yourself the leathery sinew will just clog the grinder . Look for steaks that have , to your eyeball , 20 to 30 % fat . That ' s an 8 ounce chuckeye steak below from the part of the shoulder just in front of the ribeye ( they are pretty tasty grilled at a much lower price than ribeye , but that ' s another article ) . Flank , skirt , hanger , sirloin . These are really beefy tasting cuts , but they are lean . So I often ask for extra white fat from the butcher or blend bacon fat into the patties . Brisket . Brisket has a big hearty flavor . There are two parts of the brisket ( described in detail in my article on Texas Brisket ) . The " point " cut of brisket has about the right fat to lean ratio for burgers , and a lot more fat on top of it . You ' ll need to trim the fat cap off to get to the right ratio . The " flat " cut of brisket is a slab of lean meat with a 1 / 4 " or so thick fat cap on top . Because the fat and lean are easy to separate , you can measure and blend the ratio you want fairly accurately . Ground Round comes from the rump and usually runs 10 to 15 % fat . It can be dry and tough , but has a nice beefy flavor . You will want to add fat Ground Sirloin comes from the area just in front of the hip , and is usually about 5 to 10 % fat . Tends to be dry because it is so low in fat . Can be pricey . You will want to add fat . The bottom line . The esteemed cookbook author Michael Ruhlman says the cut is not as critical as the ratio of beef to fat . " Beef is beef and , unlike pork , beef tastes like beef no matter where it comes from on the animal . I know people will disagree . I believe the only critical ratio is the meat to fat , so I buy a nice fatty relatively inexpensive chuck steak , and that gives me a great burger every time . Short ribs will give you a great burger as well . So will sirloin and brisket if you ' ve got the right Go for choice grade beef , not the more expensive prime grade , the fabulously expensive kobe , or wagyu . Expensive cuts are so dear because they have more fat between the muscles than choice beef . But you can add fat to ground meat , so why spend much much more on prime , kobe , or wagyu ? Certified Angus is at least choice in grade , so even though it is slightly more , it is a good choice . Mix - ins There is a raging controversy over the wisdom of mixing ingredients into the patty . On one side , there ' s FoodNetwork ' s Bobby Flay , author of the cookbook Bobby Flay ' s Burgers , Fries , & Shakes , and owner of nine restaurants , among them three locations of Bobby ' s Burger Palace . He ' s a minimalist . His patties are nothing but chuck , and he sprinkles salt and pepper on the exterior just before cooking . He once told me " I do n ' t put anything in my burgers like onion , eggs , breadcrumbs , anything . That ' s meatloaf . " And that ' s harsh ! On the other side is James McNair . Nobody has tasted more burgers than McNair , Honorary Chairman and Head Judge of Sutter Home Winery ' s Build a Better Burger Contest , founded in 1990 , and by far the biggest and most important burger competition in the world , with $ 50,000 prize going to the best beef burger , and $ 10,000 to the best " alternative " burger ( pork , salmon , turkey , etc . ) . McNair is also the author of two books on burgers that are still available , Build A Better Burger : Celebrating Sutter Home ' s Annual Search for America ' s Best Burgers , and his most recent , co - authored by Jeffrey Starr , Burger Parties : Recipes from Sutter Home Winery ' s Build a Better Burger Contest . He told me " To incorporate flavor into every bite , thoroughly mix seasonings into the ground ingredients . Contrary to popular culinary myth , salting ground meat a few minutes before cooking will not draw out the moisture and create a dry burger . For our tastes , one teaspoon of kosher or coarse sea salt to every pound of meat is a perfect ratio , but if you ' re adding other salty components , reduce the amount of salt you use . " McNair ' s assertion is contested by the AmazingRibs . com science advisor Prof . Greg Blonder who did a study of what happens to burger meat when you mix in salt . It helps retain just a little water , but fat is where most of the juicy sensation comes from . The real impact is on texture . You get a baseball . But there should be no rules in the dining room or the kitchen , so I say there ' s room in the firmament for what I call the Homestyle Burger . It ' s the burger Granny made , with chopped onions , peppers , and more . Watch for my recipe . Kenji ' s Mix - ins J . Kenji Lopez - Alt is an MIT grad , a chef and an Editor at SeriousEats . com , and he knows a lot about burgers . He has done some fascinating experiments with them and as a result has convinced me not to mix salt into patties . Does he put anything in his burgers ? The answer is surprising , but not really when you think about it : " I add a bit of anchovy to the meat before grinding at home , about half a filet per burger . . . anchovy is just a seasoning , like salt and pepper , a flavor enhancer . It does n ' t change the actual flavor of the burger the way something like Worcestershire sauce or onions do , it just adds a bit of umami that makes the beef " beefier , " if you know what I mean . I could probably get the same results using powdered MSG , but people seem a bit queasier Umami , in case you are not familiar with the term , is the savory flavor produced by glutamates found in anchovies , soy sauce , aged parmesan cheese , mushrooms , and meats .

http://amazonbasins.com/index.html | Amazon Basins Natural History The Emerald Tree Boa was discovered in 1758 by Carlos Linnaeus who named the strikingly beautiful tree boa , Corallus caninus ( Corallus batesii ) . The Genus name , Corallus was from the coral - like color and pattern of the boa as a neonate . Caninus came about from the boa ' s head and angled snout which is reminiscent of a dog . The elongated maxillary teeth also resemble the canine teeth of dogs . Emerald Tree Boas - Guyana Shield and Amazon Basin There are two distinct types of Emerald Tree Boas : the Surinam , also known as the Guyana Shield Emerald Tree Boa ( Corallus caninus ) and the Amazon Basin Emerald Tree Boa ( Corallus batesii ) . The Surinam is found primarily in Northern South America whereas the Amazon Basin Emerald is found along the Amazon River basin from southern Surinam , southern Guyana , southern Venezuela to Colombia , Peru and Brazil into the surrounding jungle of the river . There is a remarkable difference between these two geographically isolated boa types in terms of morphology , scalation Surinam Emeralds are the most common type of emerald tree boas seen in captivity . Specimens are typically a rich but lighter shade of green . The scales of the snout are large and the patterning is a typical seesaw pattern . The belly is white or creamy white in color . Surinam Emerald specimens attain lengths between 4 - 6 feet as adults . Their temperament is typically not as calm or trustworthy as the Amazon Basin Emerald . Amazon Basin Emeralds have a yellow or sulfur yellow belly color with a body color that is generally darker green The Amazon Basin Emerald is a more desirable animal from a collectors ' standpoint due to their impressive size , striking coloration and gentle nature . Our collection is focused entirely on this magnificent tree boa with the objective of selectively producing high white , deep emerald green animals . We are also working to successfully reproduce the rare , naturally occurring " Black " or melanistic Amazon Basin Emerald . Juvenile Amazon Basin Neonate Amazon Basin Link , black male Amazon Basin Emerald Tree Boa Neonate Amazon Basin Emerald Tree Boa Abby , female black Amazon Basin Tree Boa Mary Ann and her babies | [

http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2013/11/14/us-exports-more-oilthanitimports.html | U.S . US exports more oil than it imports for first time since 1995 Fracking boom drives US exports , despite environmental concerns November 14 , 2013 7 : 31PM ET A Consol Energy Horizontal Gas Drilling Rig explores the Marcellus Shale outside the town of Waynesburg , Penn . on April 13 , 2012 . Mladen Antonov / AFP / Getty The United States exports more oil than it imports for the first time since 1995 , in a growing trend sped by the controversial practice of hydraulic fracturing . For the month of October , the U.S. averaged exports of 7.7 million barrels of oil per day while taking in just 7.6 million barrels per day ( bpd ) , according to the Energy Information Administration ( EIA ) . Imports were at their lowest since February 1991 , EIA reported Wednesday . Shale gas extraction involves pumping water and special chemicals into deposits deep beneath the earth to break apart hard deposits of the gas - rich shale , then draw the fuel back up . The “ fracking ” boom has sparked controversy , with opponents saying it contaminates ground water and causes earthquakes . Advocates argue the industry brings jobs to communities that allow the practice . The EIA projects fracking will grow significantly as a source of U.S. energy production over the next 30 years . Along with fracking , lower consumption due to increased prices has helped turn the U.S. into a net oil exporter , according to USA Today Between January and May , the U.S. managed to satisfy 86 percent of its own needs , Bloomberg reports " I think this is huge , and it ' s another step in this revolution that we ' re seeing in the energy market , " Phil Flynn , an energy analyst at the Price Futures Group in Chicago , told Reuters . " We ' re seeing our reliance on imports of crude fall every day . " In its monthly Short Term Energy Outlook , the EIA forecast U.S. oil production rising to 8.88 million bpd in December 2014 and average 8.49 million bpd throughout that year . Imports , meanwhile , will fall to as low as 5.8 million bpd in December next year and average 6.54 million bpd for the year . The EIA forecasts production outstripping net imports for every month until the end of 2014 . Net petroleum imports into the United States were at 5.67 million bpd , their lowest since 1991 , according to the EIA . The White House said the country had crossed a " historical milestone in energy independence " and credited falling oil demand to President Barack Obama ' s policies of increasing vehicle fuel efficiency and encouraging biofuel production . U.S. output including natural gas liquids and biofuels has swelled 3.2 million bpd since 2009 , the fastest expansion over a four - year period since a surge in Saudi Arabia ' s output from 1970 - 1974 , according to energy consultancy PIRA . The U.S. October production rates are the highest since May 1989 , according to EIA data . Output had been broadly declining since the late 1980s until around 2010 when the results of shale drilling kicked in . While the existence of shale oil had been known for decades , few thought it would be economically viable to exploit the resources due to the expensive technology and extensive drilling required . But by combining horizontal drilling , which reaches more of an oil reservoir that is shallow but expands across large areas , with hydraulic fracturing , where rock is fractured using water and chemicals to ease the oil out of the reservoir , the shale enigma was finally cracked . Some in the industry have been speculating whether export restrictions — imposed after the 1970s Arab oil embargo provided a rude awakening to the dependence of the country on foreign oil — could be eased in years to come . " This is the point we ' ve been trying to get to since the ' 70s when we thought , gosh , we can be held hostage . Every president since then has been talking about the need for energy independence , " Flynn said . " Some natural gas and liquefied natural gas exports have begun , and if that goes fairly well , it may have the U.S. revisit some of the rules we put in place after the crisis in the ' 70s and rethink some of those policies . That ' s how different the world is now , " he said . Al Jazeera and wire services Share This : | [

http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2014/12/9/the-cia-torture-reportalegalexplainer.html | Comments U.S . Mario Tama / Getty Images ) Did CIA interrogation methods break the law ? In light of the Senate ’ s report on torture , experts explain which laws govern the questioning of ‘ terrorism ’ suspects December 9 , 2014 11 : 56AM ET by Amel Ahmed @ amelscript The release Tuesday of an executive summary of the findings of a Senate Intelligence Committee probe into the CIA ' s rendition , detention and interrogation program has sparked a frenzy of accusations and counteraccusations by political and security officials . But most of the conversation in Washington , D.C. , and in the national media has focused on whether interrogation methods regarded as torture by international standards had been effective in protecting Americans from attacks . Less attention has been paid to the question of whether such methods were legal under U.S. and international law . " The release of the report will end any debate about whether the U.S. tortured prisoners , " said Wells Dixon , an attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights , which represents victims of U.S. torture . " I expect you will see conduct so egregious , and beyond the pale , that no rational person could look at it and say it ' s not torture . " George W . Bush ’ s administration provided CIA operatives with legal authorization for " enhanced interrogation " techniques , including forced nudity , waterboarding , sleep deprivation and stress positions . But critics have asked whether such authorization contravened U.S. laws prohibiting torture . Many aspects of the program ended even before Bush left office , and President Barack Obama swiftly banned these " enhanced interrogation techniques " immediately after taking office . At the core of the Washington political furor is whether the CIA misrepresented the scope and effectiveness of the program to the Justice Department ' s Office of Legal Counsel , which provided the legal authorizations for the program based on information supplied by the CIA . These justifications were outlined in what are now referred to as the torture memos , a series of memorandums issued starting in 2002 that were later withdrawn when it was revealed that the information supplied by the CIA had been misleading and inaccurate . " These were not independent , impartial memos , " Dixon said . " They were designed to be a legal shield , written to obtain predetermined results . There was no discussion , for example , of the fact that the U.S. prosecuted the Japanese after World War II for waterboarding . " Dixon said it was not clear whether poor legal analysis reflected the determination to achieve the desired cover for actions that many would deem torture , or simply reflected conclusions drawn by DOJ lawyers from misrepresentations by the CIA . " Ultimately , the fault lies with the legal counsel for not doing any investigation and blindly accepting what they were told , " Dixon said . Other experts question whether more accurate information supplied by the CIA would have given senior White House officials pause . " It ' s well established that during the Bush administration , senior White House officials were pressing very hard alongside the CIA to approve these techniques , and they in fact repeatedly conspired with the CIA to create misleading documents that were falsely playing up the effectiveness and necessity of the program , " said Laura Pitter , senior national security counsel at Human Rights Watch . The Senate committee ' s findings are expected to reignite demands for the criminal prosecution of officials who authorized and implemented the interrogation techniques . Al Jazeera talked to prominent legal analysts for a breakdown of the major domestic and international laws that could be invoked in response . US law and torture Despite Obama ' s repeated assurances that CIA officials who applied harsh interrogation methods under the Bush administration will not be prosecuted , experts say U.S. law does not necessarily foreclose such claims . “ We do n ’ t have to go through international courts to obtain justice . Federal courts have U.S. jurisdiction over its own citizens , even if the conduct in question occurred abroad , " said Elizabeth Holtzman , a former congresswoman and a co - author of “ Cheating Justice : How Bush and Cheney Attacked the Rule of Law , Plotted to Avoid Prosecution — and What We Can Do about It . ” The same criminal laws used to prosecute individuals on U.S. soil for committing offenses such as murder , assault , and battery can be applied to torture cases that occurred overseas , say experts . Such criminal offenses are outlined in Title 18 of the U.S. Code , the criminal code for federal crimes . Defenders of the program and the memos that authorized them argue that U.S. criminal laws do not apply outside of U.S. territory — and the CIA interrogations in question occurred at secret black sites overseas . But the 4th Circuit Court in 2006 rejected the extraterritoriality argument in United States v . Pessaro , the first and only case in which a person connected with the CIA was convicted in connection to the " war on terrorism " that began after the Sept . 11 attacks . In that case , CIA contractor David Pessaro was charged with assault in connection with the 2003 death of Abdul Wali while in the custody of U.S. officials in Afghanistan . In his defense , Pessaro relied on some of the authorizations in the torture memos , which included the argument that U.S. nationals ca n ' t be tried for conduct committed on foreign soil . But the court found that two laws expanded the territorial jurisdiction of U.S. federal courts , thus allowing for criminal prosecution of torture acts committed abroad . The Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act of 2000 ( MEJA ) asserts federal district court jurisdiction over civilians accompanying the armed forces overseas , including military contractors . MEJA ’ S broad territorial definition was made possible through a 2001 amendment to the Patriot Act . Title 18 of the Patriot Act expanded the court ' s territorial jurisdiction to cover certain U.S. government installations located abroad . It also removed the statute of limitations on prosecution for any terrorist offense that led to the death or serious bodily injury of any person . " Despite what Obama and Bush have said , the fact is that anyone who created a risk of death or serious bodily injury can face potential prosecution for the rest of their lives , " Holtzman said . This jurisdictional amendment was tested for the first time in Passaro . The 4th Circuit Court held that the premises of Asadabad , Afghanistan , where the offense occurred , constituted a U.S. military mission , rendering it within the criminal jurisdiction of a district court . Passaro was found guilty of one count of felony assault with a dangerous weapon and three counts of misdemeanor assault . He was sentenced to serve eight years and four months in prison . Federal anti - torture statute The 2009 Federal anti - torture statute offers further pathways for legal action in response to harsh interrogation methods used by the CIA , in part because it permits claims for mental suffering inflicted on detainees . The law was enacted as part of U.S. efforts to comply with the United Nations Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel , Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment ( CAT ) . The CAT , ratified by the U.S. in 1994 , mandates all parties to the treaty to " take effective legislative , administrative , judicial , or other measures to prevent acts of torture in any territory under its jurisdiction . " The statute can be applied to anyone , U.S. citizen or otherwise , who commits an act of torture outside the U.S , said Holtzman . And its definition of torture includes any act committed by a person acting under the color of law that is intended to inflict severe physical or mental pain upon another person within his custody . This includes threats of imminent death and the intentional or threatened infliction of severe physical pain , according to Holtzman . Additionally , the statute includes a conspiracy provision that makes it illegal for two or more persons to agree to commit acts of torture upon persons who were in the conspirators ’ custody . Formal charges must be brought within eight years of the crime . Experts say the conspiracy provision could be used to prosecute senior CIA and White House officials who may have intentionally misrepresented the interrogation program to obtain authorization for illegal torture methods . Violation of the anti - torture statute is punishable by up to 20 years in prison , or execution , if the torture resulted in a victim ' s death . And as a result of Title 18 of the Patriot Act , there is no statute of limitations for any act that resulted in the death or serious bodily injury of any person . The War Crimes Act of 1996 The War Crimes Act ( WCA ) is a federal statute that makes it a felony for any U.S. national to violate the Geneva Convention by engaging in murder , torture , or inhuman treatment , according to Holtzman . The statute applies to those who carried out , authorized or who were aware of but failed to stop such acts , Holtzman said . The Bush administration severely limited the scope of the law in 2006 by passing the Military Commissions Act ( MCA ) of 2006 . The MCA reinterpreted provisions of Geneva and removed any reference to humiliating and degrading treatment . " This removal of [ any ] reference to humiliating and degrading treatment will be perceived by experts and probably allies as ' rewriting ' the Geneva Conventions , " retired Army Lt . Col . Geoffrey S . Corn told The Washington Post in 2006 . International frameworks Under a theory of law known as universal jurisdication , if a country is unwilling or unable to prosecute certain egregious offenses such as torture , war crimes , or genocide , then foreign jurisdictions may step in and prosecute those cases , according to Dixon of the Center for Constitutional Rights . The principle of universal jurisdiction has been used to pursue war crimes allegations against senior Bush administration officials in a number of European countries , Dixon said . In one of the more prominent cases invoking universal jurisdiction , Italy in 2009 convicted 26 CIA agents in absentia for their role in the 2003 abduction in Milan of Egyptian cleric Abu Omar . The case marked the first court decision ever to challenge the U.S. practice of " extraordinary rendition , " under which suspects were abducted and sent to countries whose security services were less restrained in their use of techniques amounting to torture . The Italian court ' s ruling means those 26 CIA operatives remain subject to arrest should they travel to Europe , Dixon said . The principle of universal jurisdiction forms the basis of two international legal frameworks that provide for the prosecution of individuals accused of authorizing or committing acts of torture . Geneva Conventions The Geneva Conventions , enacted shortly after World War II and ratified by nearly every country in the world , are a set of legal protections that safeguard civilians , soldiers , and prisoners during wartime . The provision known as Common Article 3 prohibits torture , cruel , inhumane , and degrading treatment of prisoners of war ( POWS ) . In addition , article 17 bars physical or mental torture that is inflicted to secure information or a confession from prisoners . Countries that violate the Geneva Conventions can be prosecuted for war crimes , according to Pitter . United Nations Convention Against Torture The U.N. Convention Against Torture is an international human rights treaty meant to prevent torture and cruel , inhuman degrading treatment . The treaty , which the U.S. helped to draft , requires countries to pass legislation to prevent torture within their borders , said Pitter . It also prohibits countries from transporting people to any country where there is reason to believe they will be tortured . Six U.N. rights experts in late November sent Obama an open letter citing U.S. obligations under the treaty and urging the president to support “ the fullest possible release ” of the CIA torture report . “ We hope that as president of a nation that helped draft the Convention Against Torture – and as a Nobel Peace Prize laureate – you will recognize the historic nature of your decision and side with those in the United States and around the world who are struggling to reveal the truth and to bring an end to the use of torture , ” the note said . It continued : “ Lasting security can only be achieved on the basis of truth and not secrecy .

An international team of scientists and divers has determined that Naia , as she has been nicknamed , is 12,000 to 13,000 years old . What ’ s more , Naia ’ s skull and facial characteristics are different from those of modern Native Americans and has characteristics more in common with people from Africa and Australia . But after a rigorous genetic analysis of the enamel on her teeth and the minerals found in her bones , the scientists discovered that although she was found in Mexico , Naia shares certain genetic characteristics with the earliest hunter - gatherers thought to have crossed the Bering land bridge from northeastern Asia into the Americas 18,000 to 26,000 years ago . “ Thus Naia , one of the earliest occupants of the Americas yet encountered , suggests that the paleo - Americans [ the earliest Americans ] do not represent an early migration from a part of the world different than that of Native Americans , ” archaeologist James Chatters , the lead author of the study , said in a release . “ Rather , paleo - Americans and Native Americans descended from the same Beringian source . ” Because modern Native Americans have different genetic characteristics from those Beringian ancestors , some scientists think multiple groups migrated from Eurasia to the Americas , Chatters told Al Jazeera . But others insisted it was one group that spread southward and that the differences between them and modern Native Americans evolved later . Naia marks the first time that scientists have been able to match an early American skeleton with DNA linked to the Beringian hunter - gatherers , supporting the single - migration theory and suggesting they may have spread much farther across the Americas than previously thought . “ It ’ s good , strong evidence , ” Chatters said , but with the caveat that it ’ s just one skeleton . “ It ’ s still a powerful step in that direction . ” A team effort That Naia was found submerged in a cave filled with chemically neutral water that was sealed off from oxygen for at least 8,000 years helped conserve the bones , Chatters said . The scientists say that people and animals likely fell into this cave and became trapped and that about 10,000 years ago the climate began to warm and glaciers melted , filling the cave with water . Chatters said finding a nearly complete skeleton more than 12,000 years old is extremely rare . Other specimens he has examined through the years , such as the Kennewick man , discovered in the state of Washington in 1996 , were not more than 10,000 years old , and they ’ re often just fragments , making it difficult to analyze their DNA . “ Part of it was a political reason , ” he said , referring an eight - year legal battle he fought with Native American tribes in Washington , who as part of their burial rituals wanted to rebury the Kennewick man . “ Part of it ’ s the practicality that we did n ’ t have the methods to extract the DNA effectively from poorly preserved material , ” he said , “ and part of it is the extreme rarity of the skeletons . ” “ But now , ” he said , “ we are getting the ability to get nuclear genetic material in small quantities . We ’ ve got the computers doing the job for us . And all of a sudden , the field is just moving at 100 miles per hour . ” So far , they ’ ve used photography , videography , 3 - D modeling and minimal sampling to study the cave , starting with the human skeleton . Determining Naia ’ s age , Chatter said , was a group effort . Three research institutions did radiocarbon dating of the enamel from her teeth , and he and other scientists decided that uranium - thorium dating could be used to analyze the mineral deposits in her bones . In addition to that , they analyzed the water levels and considered the types of animals also found in the cave and were able to determine that she was 12,000 to 13,000 years old . ‘ Discovery of our lifetimes ’ In order to extract Naia ’ s DNA , the team needed to use divers . Alberto Nava , a software engineer from Monterey , California , discovered the cave back in 2007 on a dive with two friends , Alex Alvarez and Franco Attolini . He has been scuba diving for 20 years and is a longtime cave explorer with the California - based Bay Area Underwater Explorers , a nonprofit underwater exploration and conservation group But the men never expected to make such a once - in - a - lifetime discovery when diving in a pool they found in the jungles near Tulum , which is known for its water - filled sinkholes , called cenotes . They found the cave after making their way down a mile - long tunnel and were suddenly in a pitch - black expanse that was n ’ t accessible from the surface . Since they could n ’ t see anything around them , they called it Hoyo Negro , which in Spanish means “ black hole . ” They returned a few months later with special lighting equipment and were amazed to see a dome - shaped cave about 200 feet in diameter . “ The moment we entered the site , ” Nava said , “ we knew it was an incredible place . ” First , Nava said , the men spotted a giant , three - foot - long femur resting against the wall . Next they saw a five - foot - wide pelvis . And Alvarez spotted a human skull sitting on a top of a ledge , with all its teeth intact — part of the young girl they later dubbed Naia . As their eyes adjusted , they saw a cave full of what they later discovered was full of the intact skeletons of 26 different mammals , including pumas , bears and extinct animals such as a saber - toothed tiger and several ground sloths . In his 20 years of scuba experience , Nava had seen a few bones of birds and small rodents but nothing like this . “ For us , this is the discovery of our lifetimes , ” he told Al Jazeera . He added , “ We were not going in there to find the oldest American . We were three friends planning to explore some caves in Mexico , and all of a sudden we ran into this . But we did take it seriously . ” The men returned multiple times to take photographs and eventually shared their findings with the Mexican government ’ s National Institute of Anthropology and History . The team of archaeologists and paleontologists there wanted to make sure they did n ’ t disturb or damage the artifacts , so they extracted the tiniest possible DNA samples from the skeleton ’ s teeth . And in a unique twist , the scientists spent more than a year training Nava , Alvarez and Attolini in archaeology and paleontology to keep them involved in the project and incorporated the men into the diving team that has been exploring and documenting the contents of the cave , with support from the National Geographic Society “ We ended up being the hands and eyes of the researchers , ” Nava said . Normally , the discoverers of such bones would not be so involved in the research process , but “ we wanted to respect these people and their capabilities and basically their primacy in the story , ” Chatters said .

http://americablog.com/2014/03/blood-test-can-diagnose-alzheimers-would-you-take-it.html | Home News A blood test can diagnose if you ’ ll get Alzheimer ’ s . Would you take it ? A blood test can diagnose if you ’ ll get Alzheimer ’ s . Would you take it ? 3 / 13 / 14 1 : 00pm by Dr . Mark Thoma , MD 34 Comments Tweet Investigators reported that they ’ ve developed a blood test that can diagnose Alzheimer ’ s disease . It ’ s pretty accurate , and it may allow someone to know if he ’ s at high risk to develop Alzheimer ’ s years before the symptoms become manifest . But is it too much information ? Would you take the test ? What is Alzheimer ’ s ? Alzheimer ’ s is a neurodegenerative ( causes the destruction of neurons [ brain cells ] ) disease that is the leading cause of dementia . It is also fatal . Dementia is a deterioration of cognitive abilities such as memory loss , decreased ability to concentrate loss of good judgment . It can also cause personality changes and emotional disturbances . Patients with Alzheimer ’ s develop dementia . Dementia can be caused by other diseases as well such as : tumors , strokes , Parkinson ’ s disease , head trauma and others . Older couple via Shutterstock Over 5 million Americans have Alzheimer ’ s disease . This disease can often start insidiously and gradually worsen . The patient will need more and more assistance . He may start off just needing the occasional reminder . Later he may not only need reminders , he may need help with some tasks : eating , bathing , using the bathroom and others . Eventually , he may need 24 / 7 care . The time from diagnosis of Alzheimer ’ s ( using clinical examination to look for when the first signs are apparent ) to the patient ’ s death is on the order of 5 - 10 years . The diagnosis of Alzheimer ’ s till now could only definitively be done through doing a brain biopsy or , after death , by examining the brain at autopsy . So until now , the diagnosis of Alzheimer ’ s was made by eliminating ( “ ruling out ” ) other causes of dementia . If nothing else was causing the dementia , then Alzheimer ’ s was the culprit . Some forms of dementia are treatable and may improve . This is n ’ t the case with Alzheimer ’ s . In spite of using the few available medications , the disease progresses and the patient eventually dies . Death from Alzheimer ’ s ranks in the top ten causes of death in the US . Diagnosing Alzheimer ’ s When brain cells die , they burst and their contents are scattered locally . The contents of the cell and its membrane are proteins , lipids and carbohydrates and some other components . Quantities of those substances find their way into the blood . Some of the proteins are fairly unusual and not normally seen in the serum in significant quantities . Some may cause an immune response where antibodies directed against these proteins are formed . Work going back several years showed that some of those proteins might be useful to predict if a patient had a higher risk for getting Alzheimer ’ s . Other scientists focused on the lipids ( fats ) released from the cell and cell membrane . This lipid research was just recently released . Again , some of those lipids are n ’ t commonly encountered in significant quantities in the blood of patients who are n ’ t going to develop Alzheimer ’ s ( i.e. , those who do n ’ t have neurodegenerative disorders . ) If the test is positive , it may be years till the first signs of dementia are noted , and more years before the disease progresses to severe impairment and then death . Investigators feel that , perhaps , there has n ’ t been much success in treating Alzheimer ’ s disease because treatments start too late . That is , the patient is n ’ t diagnosed until he is showing significant signs of dementia . The thought is , that with earlier diagnosis , current treatment methods might be more effective . And , perhaps , by studying these patients before Alzheimer ’ s becomes too far advanced , additional insights on the mechanism and treatment of the disease might be found . Would you want to be tested ? Would you want to know ? But now an interesting question arises . Since the test detects a disease that is progressive , incurable and invariably leads to death , would you want to be tested ? Knowing all that a positive result implies , would you want to know if you ’ re positive or negative ? I ’ m sure that some people would , and others would n ’ t , want to be tested . Since there ’ s a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer ’ s , would your choice on whether to be tested be affected by a family history of Alzheimer ’ s ? And if so , would the family history make you more or less likely to be tested ? There may be an association between head trauma and Alzheimer ’ s . And a link between cardiac health and the development of Alzheimer ’ s . So if you had head trauma in the past , would you be more interested in your risk ? An alternate option is to have the test done , but do n ’ t get your results . Let your doctor have them . He can keep the results secret from you but keep a closer eye on you for signs of dementia if the test is positive . This question of testing does n ’ t just hold for Alzheimer ’ s . There are other diseases that are progressive and incurable — Huntington ’ s disease ( formerly Huntington ’ s chorea ) comes to mind for one . So it ’ s a much larger question that we may be facing more and more as science advances . So , it ’ s your choice – to test or not to test . Which would you choose ?

Would you take it ? ” BillFromDover March 14 , 2014 at 2 : 37 PM But if you have lost most of your memory , how would you know what you forgot ? My mother had this disease so bad she did n ’ t recognize me and her other son . She had a glorious 100th birthday party . and died shortly thereafter , perhaps not the happiest person in the world , but certainly content . DGT March 14 , 2014 at 9 : 07 AM Definitely I would want to know . Having seen several relatives die the slow , awful death that Alzheimer ’ s brings , I would want to plan my Kevorkian - style exit before it got too bad . I really ca n ’ t imagine a worse way to die for me ( or for my family to have to live through ) than Alzheimer ’ s . Lawerence Collins March 13 , 2014 at 11 : 33 PM My father died from this . I am now the same age he was , when he first started showing signs of early on set . As it is , i have an in curable , chronic illness . I would want to know . 1jetpackangel March 13 , 2014 at 10 : 35 PM I ’ d say probably not . I mean , I ’ m already terrible with names . If I got the test and it popped positive I ’ d spend the rest of my life thinking , “ I forgot to get the milk again . Is this my Alzheimer ’ s kicking in ? ” Or some jerk could use it as an excuse for not doing something : “ Hey , why were n ’ t you at the meeting to deliver your presentation ? ” “ Oh , uh , did I mention I ’ m Tony Mac March 13 , 2014 at 9 : 49 PM Of course I would take it … if for no other reason than to let my children know they may at risk … and their children . My son has Diabetes ! although ther is no genetic remnant of it in our family . Should hew have his children tested ? ? ? Of course he will . Perhaps they can take steps to avoid it in their future … As for testin for Alzheimer ’ s … I ’ d do it in a heartbeat … if I can remember where it is I ’ m supposed to go Clevelandchick March 13 , 2014 at 7 : 05 PM Life without hope is no kind of life . I have yet to hear of a promising new treatment for Alzheimers . If there were some real break through in the area of a cure and not just treatment to delay the inevitable , then I ’ d consider it . Like any disease , it ’ s different in every person and depends on when it onsets . Could the test determine whether it was going to be early onset or late ? Could the test determine the severity ? But regardless , a disease like Alzheimer ’ s is insidious because it robs you of your memory . So , if you take that test and get a positive result , you ’ ll go through life knowing at some point you ’ ll no longer recognize your loved ones Devastating . I ca n ’ t imagine knowing that you had a good chance at getting it in your 20s or 30s would not change how you lived your life . Clevelandchick March 13 , 2014 at 6 : 49 PM No , I would not . There ’ s no cure so what is the point ? To ruin the rest of your life waiting for the shoe to drop ? I do n ’ t think anyone believes they wo n ’ t get something at some point because in the back of our minds we all know at some point we ’ ll be on the other side of the dirt . pappyvet March 13 , 2014 at 6 : 45 PM Would I be tested ? No . docsterx March 13 , 2014 at 6 : 18 PM Agree . However , depending on the surveys I mentioned above , neither were some of the respondents there . Some were volunteers , some were paid for taking a survey , some were college students , some were healthcare professionals . So there may have been some skewing of the data based on those factors . Silver_Witch March 13 , 2014 at 5 : 48 PM I think that would be my fear Ford Perfect – what if you employer found out ? Silver_Witch March 13 , 2014 at 5 : 46 PM Okay here is my other favorite old folks thingie ! Doc my left knee is killing me … . Witch , you are getting older you know … . But Doc my right knee is just as old and it does n ’ t hurt ! March 13 , 2014 at 5 : 40 PM I would not be tested … … there is no cure , there is no hope … so going blindly into the night would be my choice . BeccaM March 13 , 2014 at 5 : 01 PM I think the problem , Mark , is so many of us were taught to believe that Alzheimer ’ s was a horrific slow - death sentence , with our identities , memories , and our dignity stripped away with each passing day . Most of us have this ingrained assumption , “ If I ’ m diagnosed , there is no effective treatment . And I ’ ll spend the next X years wondering every time I forget where I put my car keys whether this is the beginning of the end . ” It ’ s like it was with certain forms of cancer a few generations ago . Find a lump = You ’ re gonna die , soon . Easier and less mentally stressful not to look for those lumps or irregular moles . People need hope . Until these promising new treatments really do stop the dementia , as opposed to maybe / kinda slowing it down , a lot of folks are n ’ t going to want to know . I think once the treatments become more effective and people learn that a diagnosis of high Alzheimer ’ s risk does n ’ t equal an inevitable future of dementia , more will be willing to seek out testing . BTW , the situation with HIV testing was similar not that long ago , too . Indigo March 13 , 2014 at 4 : 50 PM Painfully so . It ’ s that one moment years from now when you look in the mirror in the morning and momentarily wonder who that is . . . then ’ s when it hits you . OMG ! Indigo March 13 , 2014 at 4 : 47 PM That ’ s not surprising but the commentators here do not quite represent a common denominator of opinion from the entire national spectrum . docsterx March 13 , 2014 at 4 : 24 PM About a quarter of a million Alzheimer ’ s patients in the US began showing symptoms in their 40s - 50s and not later , as typically happens with most cases of AD . March 13 , 2014 at 4 : 22 PM There is a little early information that if you “ age healthily ” ( i.e. exercise , maintain normal weight , treat other medical conditions ( not just cardiac ) , etc . ) you may slightly decrease risk of AD . March 13 , 2014 at 4 : 19 PM These responses are interesting . Some studies have been done on this type of question ( would you want to know if you had a fatal condition years before it manifested ) and , in the ones I ’ ve seen , there were more people opting to refuse testing because they did n ’ t want to know than the way people are responding here . If I remember correctly about 25 - 40 % of people said that they would n ’ t want tested . heimaey March 13 , 2014 at 3 : 48 PM I guess it ’ s true what they say . There ’ s a young person in every old person saying “ what happened ! ? ! ” cole3244 March 13 , 2014 at 3 : 44 PM my mother died from alzheimers i will be sure to ask my gp and take it my next appointment , i want to know . bandanajack March 13 , 2014 at 3 : 29 PM i am 70 , dude , you never know . i never thought i would live this long either , although i do n ’ t think there is much i would change , i might have taken a bit better care of my body . nicho March 13 , 2014 at 3 : 26 PM The real question is whether corporations should be allowed to make that part of your pre - employment physical . If they can now make you pee into a cup without a warrant or court order , why ca n ’ t they do this ? 2karmanot March 13 , 2014 at 2 : 48 PM I used to think that way — - thirty years ago . Imagine my surprise to have survived this long . kingstonbears March 13 , 2014 at 2 : 48 PM Yes and for the same reason I get tested for HIV . The possibility that some of the treatments , if started earlier , would help is enough of a reason for me . March 13 , 2014 at 2 : 47 PM Yeah . . . I said that 25 years ago , somehow wandered into my mid 70s and I ’ m still here . Uf - da ! March 13 , 2014 at 2 : 46 PM If Medicare covers it , yes . I ’ ll take the test . Ford Prefect March 13 , 2014 at 2 : 14 PM On the one hand , I ’ d like to know if there are things I can do to help produce a better outcome for myself . On the other , we live in a world of No Privacy now and that means any test you take will be data mined by corporations and thusly potential employers and so on . IOW , you may be opening yourself up to discrimination at work or in terms of health insurance ( not to be confused with healthcare ) , since your data is out there for paying customers to access . I would reconsider if I had a doctor that did n ’ t digitize medical files , as those are still protected by law . But since I do n ’ t , I ca n ’ t trust him to protect my privacy . kokoretsi March 13 , 2014 at 2 : 11 PM As depressing as a positive result would be , I ’ d want to know so I could prepare my family and affairs in advance . Paul Barwick March 13 , 2014 at 1 : 41 PM I ’ d probably forget to . Seriously though , yes . I ’ d get the test . I do n ’ t subscribe to the “ ignorance is bliss ” school of thought . pricknick March 13 , 2014 at 1 : 31 PM Sure I ’ d get the test . If positive , it gives me time to plan my demise in a way that suits me , not the doctors . Anonymiss March 13 , 2014 at 1 : 26 PM Definitely I would test . Knowledge / information is power . Then I could make decisions about how to live my life . But now having said that , I do n ’ t have any of the aforementioned risk factors : family history , head trauma , heart issues . I ’ m not going to run right out and find when and where I can get the test . but if my doctor offered it to me at my annual check - up , absolutely , I ’ d take it . And if it were eventually offered percysowner March 13 , 2014 at 1 : 20 PM I would test . If the results were negative , then whew . If they were positive , I could start planning what to do when things start manifesting . Start looking at long term care facilities that cater to various degrees of infirmity i.e. independent to assisted living to nursing home . I could also warn my daughter , or at least write a letter with what care I want so that when the time comes she would n ’ t be having to make decisions guessing what I want . heimaey March 13 , 2014 at 1 : 17 PM Prob not . I do n ’ t plan on living that long . bkmn March 13 , 2014 at 1 : 08 PM I would want to get tested so that if the test came back positive I could start to make arrangements for my care . I would rather find out earlier than later that someone I thought I could rely on is not willing to assist when the time comes . | [

Fentanyl has a similar method of action that the illegal drug heroin has , although it is more than a 100 times more potent , the journal Primary Care Companion for CNS Disorders reports . The Drug Enforcement Administration ( DEA ) reports that fentanyl abuse has risen in recent years , as emergency department visits , drug seizures , and overdose deaths related to the drug have all increased . Fentanyl patches are meant to be used by individuals who are already tolerant to other opioid drugs and require around - the - clock pain management , like cancer patients . Opioid tolerance occurs when someone takes an opioid drug for a period of time , and it stops working the way it did initially . Pain symptoms may “ break through , ” and individuals may need to take more painkillers to obtain relief . Once a tolerance has When someone takes an opioid drug , changes are made to the chemistry in the brain , as the drugs fill opioid receptors along the central nervous system and change the way some of the brain ’ s messengers , or neurotransmitters , move around . Once dependence has set in , the brain will no longer keep making these neurotransmitters at necessary levels on its own and instead rely on the drug ’ s interference . If the drug is removed , opioid withdrawal syndrome can begin as the brain struggles to restore balance . Physically , the symptoms someone is taking it recreationally . It is never recommended to stop taking a drug like fentanyl “ cold turkey , ” especially without professional supervision and aid . Opioid withdrawal syndrome may be tempered with a slow removal of the drug over a period of time , called tapering , or through medical detox . Fentanyl Withdrawal Timeline and Symptoms Opioid withdrawal syndrome usually begins within 12 - 30 hours of the last dose of an opioid , the National Library of Medicine ( NLM ) reports . Fentanyl , in patch form , is an extended - release medication with effects that may continue to increase for the first 12 - 24 hours of wearing it , lasting up to 72 hours total , according to the labeling information provided by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) for Duragesic . With a half - life of around 17 hours after removal of the patch , withdrawal likely begins around a day or so of taking it off . The FDA reports the following as potential side effects of the opioid withdrawal syndrome that occurs when Duragesic ( fentanyl ) leaves the bloodstream : Yawning Sweating Restlessness Tearing up Runny nose Chills Backache Stomach cramps Pain in joints and / or muscles Body hair standing on end , or bristling Muscle weakness Nausea and / or vomiting Anorexia Diarrhea Elevated heart rate Hypertension Increased respiratory rate Insomnia Anxiety Pupil dilation Opioid withdrawal syndrome likely peaks in the first few days and levels off within a week or so . Depression and difficulties feeling pleasure due to the disruption of dopamine and other pleasure - inducing neurotransmitters may be psychological side effects that , along with drug cravings , may persist a bit longer . Cold Turkey vs . Weaning As sudden discontinuation of fentanyl may induce opioid withdrawal , individuals may instead chose to slowly taper off the drug . Tapering is the slow removal of fentanyl over a set period of time , and it is also called weaning off the drug . This must be performed under the direction and watchful eye of a medical professional who can set up a tapering schedule that may be able to keep withdrawal symptoms from manifesting by keeping some of the opioid drug in the system . By slowly removing the drug and not stopping “ cold turkey , ” opioid withdrawal may be managed . To taper off fentanyl , a person may be first switched to another opioid , such as long - acting morphine or methadone , as reported in the Tapering and Discontinuation of Opioids published by the U.S. Department of Defense ( DoD ) and the Department of Veterans Affairs ( VA ) . After a person is switched over , these opioids are reduced by about 20 - 50 percent each day until the dosage reaches 30 mg / day for methadone or 45 mg / day for morphine . At this point , the dosage can be reduced by 15 mg every 2 - 5 days for morphine and by 5 mg every 3 - 5 days down to 10 mg / day . It can then be reduced by 2.5 mg Tapering may not be exactly the same for everyone , and different schedules may need to be adopted . There are several factors that may require the schedule to be modified , such as : Level of dependence on fentanyl : The more significant the dependence , the slower the taper may need to be . Addiction to or abuse of fentanyl : Someone using fentanyl for nonmedical purposes , or who suffers from compulsive drug - using behaviors , may benefit best from a residential detox program where substance abuse and addiction are addressed in tandem with withdrawal . Co - occurring disorders : Someone suffering from a medical or mental health disorder may take medications that need to be properly managed during a tapering schedule . Length of time taking fentanyl : Typically , the longer someone has been taking an opioid like fentanyl , the slower the taper may need to be to manage withdrawal . Abuse of other drugs or alcohol : Other mind - altering substances can interact with fentanyl and may increase the level of dependence to both substances and / or create a cross - tolerance that may need to managed differently than usual . A doctor , substance abuse professional , or other medical professional can help people to set up an individualized tapering schedule to wean off fentanyl safely while minimizing withdrawal symptoms . Medical Detox The method of removing fentanyl from the body safely is called detox , which is the removal of toxic substances from the bloodstream . This process is usually performed in a specialized substance abuse treatment center . Detox can be part of either an outpatient or a residential program , depending on the specific needs of the individual . Typically , residential detox is called medical detox , as it includes medical and mental health support provided by highly trained professionals around the clock . Vital signs are monitored to ensure each individual ’ s safety , and medications are also often used to manage physical and emotional withdrawal symptoms . Residential detox is usually recommended for fentanyl withdrawal as it is such a powerful opioid . Detox typically lasts about 5 - 7 days , though it can extend up to 10 or more days if needed . Some people may need more or less time , as detox is unique for each individual . A thorough evaluation during intake can help determine the optimal length of time for the detox process . In some instances , fentanyl may be replaced with a different opioid agonist during detox . Buprenorphine products are commonly used to aid in opioid withdrawal . Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist that is FDA - approved to treat opioid dependence . The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration ( SAMHSA ) reports the brand names Bunavail , Suboxone , and Zubsolv all contain buprenorphine as well as the opioid antagonist naloxone , and buprenorphine can be found in transmucosal products like Subutex . Buprenorphine acts on opioid receptors in the brain like other opioids , but to a much lesser degree . This action can help reduce withdrawal symptoms without producing the euphoric “ high ” that opioid narcotics like fentanyl are known to produce . Naloxone , on the other hand , has the opposite effect and actually blocks opioid receptors from receiving opioids . The naloxone Combination medications may be reserved for post detox , after fentanyl and other opioids are completely out of the system . Adjunct , or supplementary , medications are helpful during medical detox too . Antidepressants can help with depressive symptoms ; antihistamines can assist with insomnia or restlessness ; medications to ease gastrointestinal distress can address nausea , vomiting , cramps , and diarrhea ; and nonsteroidal anti - inflammatory agents can soothe muscle aches , Pain Treatment Topics reports . The blood pressure medication clonidine is also a popular adjunct medication used off - label to treat opioid withdrawal symptoms , as it can help regulate heart rate , blood pressure , and body temperature . Medical detox can be highly beneficial in helping to safely and smoothly remove fentanyl from the body and achieve a healthy physical balance . When it is followed with a substance abuse treatment program that uses both therapeutic and pharmaceutical tools , cravings and other negative psychological and behavioral symptoms of substance abuse and addiction can be improved and managed on a long - term basis .

http://americanbluesnews.blogspot.com/2010/08/true-story-of-death-of-johnny-ace-by.html | American Blues News Dedicated to the promotion and celebration of the Blues The True Story of the Death of Johnny Ace by Robert Nighthawk Tooms Posted on 8022010 by Robert Nighthawk Tooms Memphis Tennessee By the end of this article I hope to rectify a misconception concerning the death of Johnny Ace which has persisted since his death in 1954 He did not kill himself playing Russian roulette as has been claimed by so many for so long but indeed died as a result of an unfortunate accident Earl Forest Earl Forest drummer engineer singer mentor and friend The actual account of this incident was passed along to me by my mentor Earl Forest who was a recording artist and engineer back in the early 1950s Among Earls many accomplishments he played drums for BB King s band for many years and actually signed Johnny Ace Alexander to BBs band back in those days As he related the story to me he met Johnny in the early 1950s at the Green Beetle on South Main which incidentally is the oldest tavern in Memphis and is currently closed for renovations Earl said Johnny often hung out there and drank beer The guys in the band usually had to go there and pick him up before the gigs as he had terrible stage fright Earl said that once they dragged him into the car he was fine it was just the idea of playing the gig that made him Johnny was a wild and carefree youngster who often drove fast took pot shots at road signs road trips and loved to play jokes on his friends His father Rev John Alexander was a minister in Memphis who frowned on his son playing the devils music and had little to do with him after Johnny began his music career The Alexanders home is located about two blocks from the Memphis STAX Museum and one block from Memphis Slims original Memphis home The Green Beetle oldest operating tavern serving food and beer since the 1930s Heres a link to an article I wrote about a year or so ago about Earl Forest httpwwwameribluescom200907memphisrealbealestreeterearlforest_30html Duke and Peacock Records Earl Forest also signed many artists for the Duke and Peacock labels recording labels which originated in Memphis and were sold by radio dj and WDIA programmer David Mattis to Don Robey of Houston Texas Earl Forest was also the engineer for the label Back in those days Earl bragged of having Three tracks when Sam Phillips didnt have but two Earl also recorded at Phillips and was there for when Ike Turner and Jackie Brenston s recorded what is claimed to be the first Rock and roll song Rocket 88 Earl regaled me with stories about recording sessions during which he relegated Gene Bowlegs Miller to playing in the hall outside the big recording room because his trumpet was just too goddamn loud in the recording mix At that time there were not enough channels to separate each instrument onto its own track and the horn section would share a microphone Earl would potentate the volume of each instrument by placing it closer or further away from the mic that was the volume knob Bowlegs also played in Earls band the same band that allowed a young Elvis Presley to sit in during one of their gigs on Beale Street Dry goods store turned rooming housebrothel is now a great watering hole This is the old Mitchell Hotel where the Beale Streeters lived in the late 1940s and early 50s Living at Sunbeams Mitchell Hotel the Beale Streeters Earl was busy recording working as AR man for Duke and Peacock cutting his own 78s under his name and playing with several bands Earl Johnny Ace and BB King all were living at the Mitchell hotel on South Main now known as Ernestine Hazels This old rooming house was famous for putting up famous blues and jazz musicians during this period and owner sunbeam mitchell always had some great bands on hand to jam at his club when they werent gigging other places Earl said that he Johnny Ace and BB wore the same size suits at that time In 1948 King assembled his own band the BB King Review under the leadership of Millard Lee The band initially consisted of Calvin Owens and Kenneth Sands trumpet Lawrence Burdin alto saxophone George Coleman tenor saxophone Floyd Newman baritone saxophone Millard Lee piano George Joyner bass and Earl Forest and Ted Curry drums Earl Forest played drums on BB Kings first hit Three OClock Blues 1951 which was recorded in Memphis at the YMCA They spread sheets on the walls and cut the song on one track with one microphone in the room BB was soon cutting songs with Sam Phillips who was providing the masters to the Bihari brothers RPM label with whom BB had signed a record deal Johnny Ace hits 1 After Earl and Johnny Ace spent lots of time in the studio at Main and Winchester Streets in downtown Memphis one of the songs they had written became the Billboard 1 R B hit for nine consecutive weeks during 1952 His soulful strong vocal and Adolf Billy Duncans saxophone rise above the limitations of the little studio and the slightly out of tune piano he is playing Johnny had first joined Duncans band in Memphis after he was released from the Army and taught himself how to play piano around 1949 Heres a later cut an instrumental that Earl Forest recorded called Beale Street Popeye Thats Earl at the end saying Im Beale Street Popeye At times it almost sounds like the Marquees Listen to this beautiful ballad Thats the work of Johnny and Earl in the studio writing and playing and singing You can hear Earl playing vibes on this one He was a damn good keyboard and vibes player for a guy who usually played some great drums When I attended Earls funeral at the Antioch Baptist Church in Memphis B B King addressed the crowd that day saying You all had some real nice things to say about Earl But I want to mention one thing that nobody has mentioned yet Earl Forest was one hell of a fine drummer Johnny who up until this time was a Beale Streeter and piano player in BB Kings band hit the road behind this hit and toured the country for Don Robeys Buffalo Booking Agency out of Houston He played in one of the two package tours that had been assembled by Robey One group was headlined by BB King and Earl Forest both of whom were having success on the R B charts by this point Above thats BBs bus Big Red thats Earl in the light suit and standing to the right of him my friend and former band mate Evelyn Mama Nuts Young who played saxophone The Kings Palace Cafe sign is still on Beale and the place is still going strong Hitting the Road The other package tour featured Johnny Ace and Big Mama Thornton and Milton Hopkins on guitar The two groups of musicians would tour half of the USA for several months and then switch covering the gigs on the east coast if they had been playing out west or vice versa Both groups were playing about 350 gigs during the year 1954 a grueling schedule In 1953 Johnny Ace is joined on another Duke session by Big Mama Thornton vocals for the tune Yes Baby Johnnys very first release My Song was followed by a succession of Duke recordings with Ace scoring hit after hit in the same smooth style Cross My Heart The Clock Saving My Love for You Please Forgive Me and Never Let Me Go all made it to the upper reaches of the R B charts Some of the famous Beale Streeters join Johnny on the recordings of this era including his friend and band mate B B King who plays some great guitar on a couple of these early recording Earl and Johnny appear on the same disc on Flair Advertisement from June of 1953 In December 1954 he was named the Most Programmed Artist Of 1954 after a national DJ poll organized by US trade weekly Cash Box Johnny was voted Billboard Magazine s Most Promising R B Performer in 1954 The touring package show had returned to do a show on Christmas night of 1954 at DukePeacocks home base of Houston They had moved the recording studios there from Memphis some time after it was purchased by Don Robey Christmas Night 1954 After the first set of the show that night the band returned to the dressing room Heres the article from the Houston paper giving their inaccurate account of what followed Tragedy Strikes RB Field Johnny Ace Dies in Russian Roulette Game HOUSTON Jan 1 1955 Rhythm and blues recording star Johnny Ace accidentally killed himself while playing Russian roulette at a holiday dance here on Saturday December 25 The shooting occurred at a show featuring the popular singer and his band Ace had gone backstage for a fiveminute break and had been fooling around with a revolver with one bullet in the chamber Ace whose real name was John Alexander was one of the brightest stars in the rb field He rose to fame on Duke Records coming thru with his first hit My Song in 1952 Since then he has had eight hits in Beginning in January 53 Ace began working with the Johnny Otis Band They backed Johnny on his most famous song which was released posthumously Pledging My Love This song would remain atop Billboards RB lists for ten weeks in early 1955 One further hit Anymore exhausted Dukes stockpile of Ace masters so they tried to repeat the late pianists success by recruiting Johnnys younger brother St Claire Alexander to record as Buddy Ace When that didnt work out Don Robey took singer Jimmy Lee Land renamed him Buddy Ace and recorded him all the way into the late 60s Earl Forest and others from these package tour groups were bothered by the misinformation circulated about Johnny Aces death throughout the years so let me set things straight once and for all Earl spoke with Big Mama Thornton on the phone on Christmas night when Johnny died After the mischievous Johnny Ace had snapped this pistol on several people as a joke while they toured the imposing Big Mama Thornton had simply taken it away from him several days previous He begged to get the pistol back from her for several days and she finally relented on Christmas Day She had taken what she thought were all the bullets out of the gun but it was a 7 shot revolver and still had one left in the cylinder While his girlfriend was sitting in his lap he snapped or dry fired the gun on Big Mama when and to corroborate Earls storyFrom RealBluesMagazinecom One of the greatest tragedies in American Music History was witnessed firsthand by Curtis the accidental shooting of Johnny Ace and it still bothered him in 1993 to talk about it Curtis got somewhat exasperated when the ridiculous Russian Roulette story was brought up and despite both his and Big Mama Thorntons eyewitness accounts of the shooting the Major Media still promotes the erroneous demise of the Great Johnny Ace It was widely reported that Ace killed himself playing Russian roulette Big Mama Thorntons bass player Curtis Tillman however who witnessed the event said I will tell you exactly what happened Johnny Ace had been drinking and he had this little pistol he was waving around the table and someone said Be careful with that thing and he said Its okay Guns not loadedsee and pointed it at himself with a smile on his face and Bang sad sad thing Big Mama ran outta that dressing room yelling Johnny Ace just killed hisself Even after his death his religious family left his new station wagon to disintegrate on the streets of Houston Earl stated that Johnny would send money home to his parents and that they sure didnt mind cashing his checks but that they would have little or nothing to do with the blues man Earl shook his head and said Nighthawk its just a crying shame a damn shame To end on a more cheerful note heres a cool video of some great harp players from back in those days Heres Big Mama Thornton John Lee Hooker Shakey Horton JB Lenoir Dr Ross all blowing harp

http://americancityandcounty.com/pubwks/public-works-director-vacancies-200909 | Public Works & Utilities Who wants to be a public works director ? Filling top - level vacancies is harder than ever . Written by Robert Barkin 01 Sep 2009 After living two years in Washington State , William Sterling and his wife LeeAnn decided to return to Greeley , Colo . , to spend their retirement years with the family and friends they had left behind . But Sterling did n ’ t expect his old job as director of public works also would be awaiting his return . As it had turned out , the person Greeley had chosen to succeed Sterling left a year after he was hired , and two other candidates who had interviewed for the position declined the job offer . So , when Sterling stopped by the city hall when he returned , he was offered his old position . He accepted , but with one condition . “ I said that if I came back , it would be for one year , ” he recalls . “ I said that they should pick someone internally , and I would mentor him As communities struggle with falling revenues , rising costs and increasing demands for services , they also are finding it difficult to fill openings for directors of public works , the top job of one of their most critical departments . At a time when unemployment has shaken up the job market around the country , demand is outstripping supply for a skilled position that requires technical expertise and the ability to manage and engage employees and the public . “ It ’ s extremely difficult to recruit public works directors , ” says Ann Daniels , director of credentialing at the Kansas City , Mo . - based American Public Works Association ( APWA ) . “ It ’ s really hit or miss . ” JOB OPENINGS STACK UP On the APWA Web site ’ s WorkZone , more than one - third of the 50 jobs posted by public employers are for some variation of the top public works position in their communities . The postings range widely in scope and responsibility , a factor that significantly affects the application pool , Daniels says . The collapse of the housing market is another reason for the difficulty in attracting public works directors , she says . Relocating from one area to another is very dependent on when candidates bought their homes and the prospects for selling them quickly Janesville , Wis . , a city with 65,000 residents , has been looking for a new public works director since the incumbent left for another position in February . So far , officials have not found a candidate that fits the city ’ s needs , which also include the responsibilities of civil engineer , says Susan Musick , the city ’ s human resources director . “ The position remains open until filled , ” she says . “ We decided to re - advertise in July , review resumes and conduct interviews . We ’ re looking Berthoud , Colo . , a town of 5,300 , began its search for a new director when the incumbent took another position in June . The town collected about 30 resumes by the end of the application period , a number that interim town manager Gary Suiter says was “ thin . ” Fairfax County , Va , a community of more than 1 million residents , also is looking for a new director of public works , which carries a portfolio that includes not only traditional public works duties but also environmental services , such as stormwater management and land development , says Merni Fitzgerald , the county ’ s spokesperson . “ We anticipate over 100 applications , ” she says . “ This is a prime position . Very senior level . ” DO YOU NEED TO BE AN ENGINEER ? The search for candidates to fill open positions for public works directors is complicated by an important decision : Should the top post require civil engineering skills , or managing skills to motivate and supervise staff while others handle the more detailed responsibilities of designing and overseeing projects ? “ It ’ s an ongoing debate whether the director needs to be an engineer , ” Daniels says . “ There are fewer engineers willing to be public works directors . There ’ s a question about whether the right person should be more administrator than engineer . What background does the person need to be if he or she is not an engineer ? ” HIRE , THEN TRAIN Daniels says that construction companies are “ snapping up recent graduates ” of engineering schools , and public works departments are having a more difficult time finding new recruits who would become the public works directors of the future . As an alternative , public works departments are increasingly looking to retired military officers with civil engineering backgrounds . “ It ’ s an opportunity after retiring from the military , ” she says . “ Many of them retire relatively young . ” APWA has created a program to train promising employees with less than seven years on the job to become the next generation of directors . The year - long program provides ongoing leadership and management training , professional growth through a network of peers , and an in - depth introduction to APWA at the national , chapter and branch level . The program ’ s format includes monthly conference calls , participation in APWA ’ s quarterly Online Mentoring calls , a two - day leadership retreat in Kansas City , attendance at the APWA Congress , and class In South Jordan , Utah , the city ’ s practice is “ to try to hire the right person and then teach them everything else they need to know , ” says Public Works Director Don Bruey . He says the city receives a large number of applications for open positions but “ few have the requisite background ” for the jobs . So , the city uses in - house training and encourages additional formal education to create its next generation of leaders , rather than hire people from other cities who may not fit into the department Public works directors need more than just technical skills , he says . “ They need natural leadership skills , charisma , the ability to get people to follow , to go the extra mile . ” Bruey spent 26 years in the Marines , where he rose to colonel before retiring in 1992 . His specialty became logistics and operations and , at the end of his career , he was running an airfield . “ The skills I developed at my other job were a perfect fit with public works , ” he says . In Palm Bay , on Florida ’ s Space Coast , the skills that Sue Hann developed as public works director led her to her current position as deputy city manager , in which she has supervisory responsibility for not only the traditional public works operations but also growth management and land development . When Hann was hired by the city in 1997 , a large number of road and drainage projects were under way or on the drawing boards , but the city did not have a sufficient number of staff engineers . Her engineering degree was a big advantage at the time , because it allowed her to double up her responsibilities . Her own experience suggests that cities have to determine on their own whether they need a public works director who is also an engineer . “ It ’ s the fit of the organization that defines what is needed , ” she says . As an engineer , she was attracted to public works because she could have contact with the community and could manage projects from beginning to end . “ I saw the results of my work , ” she says . “ That ’ s why I became an engineer . ” VARIED RESPONSIBILITIES COMPLICATE THE SEARCH Before moving to the local community college to head one of its engineering programs , George Haines , former public works director for Gillette , Wyo . , spent about a dozen years in the public sector after a 20 - year career in the Navy in the civil engineering corps . He says that the various demands of a public works director ’ s job add to the difficulty of finding the right person . He cited 20 potential areas of responsibility , ranging from parks and recreation to stormwater management and utilities , in addition to the traditional Haines is a strong proponent of developing potential leaders within the organization rather than searching for a director from other governments . “ I have an appreciation of succession planning by growing and developing through the ranks , ” he says . “ If you hire department heads from outside , how does that play in the organization ? People feel , ‘ Why ca n ’ t I be the department head ? ’ ” Haines says that part of the difficulty in finding qualified candidates to fill the top public works slot is the changing nature of government service . For example , the public works director has to relate well to the city council as well as citizen groups . “ The director has to be the ambassador of the public works business in the community , ” he says . In addition , he or she has to head off problems , deal with urgent issues , sell new programs and manage projects . “ Having a public works director who sits John Ostrowski also agrees that the “ softer ” skills are becoming more important for communities looking for a new public works director . He wrote the book , “ Everything You Need to Know to be a Public Works Director ” for APWA . “ Hiring managers are more aware of the non - technical side , ” Ostrowski says . “ There is the view that the world is more complicated . Managers have to handle the complexity of modern society . ” Ostrowski was the public works director in Vancouver , Wash . , for 17 years after working in a number of engineering - related positions in Washington State . For his book , he analyzed job announcements for public works director positions to understand what city managers were looking for . His research surprised him : 50 percent people skills , 25 percent administrative skills and only 25 percent technical skills involving engineering and planning . “ Public works is a process that starts out with planning the right stuff , financing , designing and building , and operating , ” he says . “ It ’ s different phases . But the important thing is managing that process , having communication skills , making sure the administration and construction flow together , and everything works . ” Kurt Corey , public works director in Eugene , Ore . , came to his position “ through the ranks ” after earning his civil engineering degree . He comes down somewhere in the middle on the debate about which qualities make the best public works director . “ There are aspects of this job that are somewhat similar to what it was 100 years ago , ” he says . “ The human interactions , the soft skills , were just as important in the beginning of our profession as they are today . “ But the challenge remains . There has been a sea change in the way people communicate in the last several years . We ’ ve gone from having letters dictated to cell phones and Twitter . They cause their own stresses . It ’ s easy for conflicts to occur . I would say that ’ s the primary challenge today . ” Of course , the pressure to increase productivity never lessens . “ People want more , that ’ s the way it is , ” he says . “ There ’ s more demand for service . It ’ s a challenge for public works , trying to come up with innovations to allow us to deliver . ” For all of that , he says , public works directors need a variety of skills , which is why it seems they are hard to find . “ It ’ s the overall background you are looking for , ” he says . “ The technical helps the administration . That ’ s what helps you succeed . ” Robert Barkin is a Bethesda , Md . - based freelance writer . Tags : Public Works & Utilities | [

http://americancityandcounty.com/security/homeland/mitigating_terrorist_threats | Public Safety MITIGATING TERRORIST THREATS Written by Roger B . Hutchins , CPP 01 Nov 2003 Heard about ATFP lately ? For those who work in the government sector especially those working at the Department of Defense ( DoD ) or related government Heard about ATFP lately ? For those who work in the government sector — especially those working at the Department of Defense ( DoD ) or related government facilities — anti - terrorism / force protection , or ATFP , is a popular topic , and it deserves the attention . A solid understanding of ATFP concepts and strategies is a must for those who share an interest in the DoD environment — regardless of rank or position . Purpose and Definition ATFP concepts and strategies are intended to minimize the likelihood of mass casualties resulting from terrorist attacks . The concept is multi - dimensional , in that it encompasses operational , physical and technical countermeasures that span intelligence , security and facility management . For the purpose of this discussion , the ATFP focus is intentionally narrowed to buildings and facilities where personnel live and work . Counter - terrorism is certainly part of the pursuit of terrorists , but it deserves its own coverage . ATFP is a generic term that is often commingled with force protection in casual conversation , because the two subjects overlap in many areas . The two are actually different in an important , but subtle way : Force protection addresses the protection of personnel in an “ all threats ” setting , whereas ATFP specifically addresses terrorist threats that would produce mass casualties . An example of how the two subjects overlap might involve a perimeter security system protecting a large defense installation that includes vehicle barriers , fences , intrusion detection and CCTV . If that system were designed to mitigate terrorist attacks , it would most likely mitigate common criminal threats such as burglary or threats such as espionage . But the effects and benefits of applied ATFP concepts and strategies are not always consistent with an “ all threats ” force protection initiative , illustrated by the example of an office building that has vehicle bollards . While the bollards would Origins The concepts and strategies that underlie the working definition of ATFP are ancient . For as long as man has terrorized man , there have been efforts to counter those attacks . From its earliest days , the U.S. fought terrorism perpetrated by a wide variety of adversaries . Terrorist attacks , methods and related activities were documented and analyzed by historians and military strategists , producing a wide body of information that describes terrorist methods and tactics , effective countermeasures and documentation of past incidents . Over time , a huge amount of information was compiled . For example , each branch of the military and several civilian agencies had guidelines and standards to counter terrorist threats that included similar design concepts and operations plans . While they all shared the same goals , there were disagreements about how the threat was defined , what countermeasures worked best and what assets required the most protection . Naturally , this led to discussions about minimum standards . The most recent compilation of this knowledge base is contained in a section of the Unified Facilities Criteria ( UFC ) called DoD Minimum Antiterrorism Standards for Buildings . It is available in electronic media from many sources including the United States Army Corps of Engineers ’ Web site at http : / / www . hnd . usace . army . mil / techinfo / ufc / ufc4 - 010 - 01 . pdf . ATFP and UFC 4 - 010 - 01 DoD Minimum Anti - terrorism Standards for Buildings is the most widely referenced ATFP criteria publication . It ’ s the product of a significant multi - agency effort to seek effective ways to mitigate terrorist threats . Its contributors include the Undersecretary of Defense , the Joint Chiefs of Staff , the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers , the Naval Facilities Engineering Command and the Air Force Engineer Support Agency . The most recent publication , dated July 31 , 2002 , was preceded by Interim Department of Defense Antiterrorism / Force Protection Construction Standards dated Dec . 16 For those who started ATFP - related projects prior to the most recent publication date , it ’ s important to determine which set of criteria to reference , since most projects initiated before the start of government fiscal year 2004 fall under the older standards . UFC 4 - 010 - 01 is a living document whose contents are constantly updated as events and new information dictates . DoD security personnel should regularly check for updates to be sure they are referring to the latest standards . It ’ s also important to note that the word “ minimum ” is part of the standard document ’ s title . The level of protection against terrorist attack required for any particular facility must be assessed and defined by the Installation Commander or an equivalent authority in charge of the mission . What You Should Know Unless You ’ re the ATFP Czar It does n ’ t make much sense to commit the entire UFC to memory — what is important is that ATFP concepts and strategies are understood and that the information is available when needed . UFC 4 - 010 - 01 contains a lot of information . More importantly , it makes reference to numerous additional sources of information contained in related publications . The first step in becoming familiar with the ATFP concepts and strategies is to review the referenced publications to become familiar with methods , materials and techniques that mitigate terrorist tactics and weapons . To get started down the path to ATFP awareness and competence , beginners should review the publications listed in Chapter 1 , page 2 of UFC 4 - 010 - 01 . In addition , some very good background information is contained in the Technical Manuals / Air Force Manual series TM5 - 853 . Some of these manuals are For Official Use Only ( FOUO ) , but can be obtained by contractors under the appropriate authority . Basics Pay careful attention to the stated intent of UFC 4 - 010 - 01 . To paraphrase , it says that the standards are intended to minimize the possibility of mass casualties in DoD facilities by establishing a minimum level of protection where no known threat of terrorist activity currently exists . The philosophy that underpins the criteria is based on value . It supports the argument that it would be cost - prohibitive to design facilities that address every conceivable threat but instead that it is possible to provide an appropriate level of protection for all personnel at a Broad Categories The main issues in UFC 4 - 010 - 01 are organized using terms that are more common in the architectural and engineering community than they are in the security field . For this reason , the security practitioner should become familiar with the following terms : Site Planning is concerned with minimum standoff distances , building separation , unobstructed space , drive - up and drop - off areas , access roads and parking beneath or on rooftops of buildings . The common denominator is that minimum ATFP standards provide specific guidance on these elements to counter terrorist threats and that these elements are related and interdependent . Structural Design elements of the ATFP standards are primarily concerned with avoidance of progressive collapse caused by a terrorist attack . Structural design includes the fundamental components of the building — including columns and walls , floors and the specific performance characteristics of major load - bearing elements such as beams or columns . The performance of the structure is measured through engineering analysis to determine if the building can withstand removal of at least one major structural element without triggering progressive collapse . Structural Isolation , also considered under the broader topic of structural design , involves portions or additions to buildings that may ( or may not ) be constructed in a way that would prevent collapse of the whole structure if one portion was subject to attack . A good example of this issue is when additions have been made to buildings that physically tie the structures together at points above the foundation . Building overhangs and under - building parking are also parts of this issue , since they may introduce vulnerabilities that are not necessarily concerns for the base structure . Architectural Design includes many components of building architecture , including glazing , window frames , exterior doors , sealing and architectural layout . Doors and windows should meet minimum requirements for blast resistance and fragmentation . A simple example is to ensure that exterior doors open outwards to prevent them from becoming flying hazards in the event of an explosive attack . Sealing Methods should be considered to prevent the migration of airborne hazards such as chemical , biological or radiological threats . Architecturally , sealing has to do with caulking , window gaskets and door seals — not with building air handling equipment . It ’ s important to remember that preventing migration of airborne hazards within the building is equally important since internal migration may leave the building uninhabitable even though the attack was initially directed at only one area . Architectural layout of entrances and the location of functional areas such as mailrooms should be considered to mitigate terrorist threats . Electrical and Mechanical ATFP Design concerns include electrical distribution systems and HVAC systems . Often referred to as critical infrastructure , they include fresh - air intakes , ventilation systems and electrical service connection points . The major concern is applying methods of construction and locating critical equipment to minimize vulnerabilities that terrorists could exploit . For HVAC systems , the two main objectives are to locate fresh - air intakes so that it would be difficult to introduce contaminants into a building ; and the ability to shut down HVAC systems if an attack is imminent or under way . For electrical infrastructure , the objectives are to protect critical equipment such as transformers and switchgear and to design electrical systems with a level of redundancy that would support the continuing operation of the building even if an attacker successfully interrupted a primary electrical source . The last issue under mechanical and electrical design is to ensure that a method of mass notification is included in the overall mitigation strategy . This might be part of a fire alarm system , for example , but is n ’ t necessarily integrated with conventional life / safety systems . There are many possible means to provide mass notification that may include public address systems , audible and visual annunciators or personal communication devices such as pagers , radios or PDAs . The concepts and strategies for effective antiterrorism and force protection measures are varied and extensive . DoD security personnel and their colleagues in similar government roles should , at the very minimum , have a grasp of the subject . A clear understanding of how ATFP differs from “ all threats ” force protection is critical , as is the relationship of possible issues and mitigation strategies that span site planning , structural design , architectural design and critical infrastructure design .

However , with that said there are some companies , usually the smaller mom and pop salons , that provide excellent service and really have compassion for their clients . It is possible to wear a completely undetectable hairpiece and not get ripped off or tied down by this industry , but you have to know what to look for . What most companies will not tell you ? If you plan to wear a semi - permanent attached hairpiece ( which is the most popular in this country ) you will need to purchase two units . The reason for this is while one is being maintained the other is being worn . Your existing hair on the top of your head can not be integrated into the typical hair system no matter what they tell you during your consultation . Ideally , the stylist will want to shave off your reaming hair as well as a thin track of hair around the perimeter of your existing hair in order to affix the system properly . This is something the " clubs " rarely ever explain during their sales pitch . There is no way that a bonded system will stay firmly attached to your head , especially on the hairline for 4 to 6 weeks . You will have to learn to do some of the maintenance yourself for your system to look natural . In order to look natural your hair system needs constant attention and maintenance . It does NOT act like your own hair and can not just be forgotten about for weeks . Expect to spend between $ 60 - $ 300 dollars a month for proper maintenance . Maintenance contracts Avoid any companies attempting to sell you a maintenance contract . Once a hairpiece is purchased , the consumer should be free to go elsewhere for regular haircuts and maintenance . Any company that insists on holding your second hairpiece in their facility , not allowing you to take it home if you wish , should be avoided . This is a very typical tactic of the larger chains insuring that their " client " returns and is locked in . Once the consumer learns how to navigate through this treacherous industry , wearing hair can prove to be a positive experience . Realistic expectations and having a full understanding of the process will lead to successful hair replacement experience . Reviewed by Paul J .

http://americanhistory.about.com/od/americanhistorytimelines/a/Events-Leading-to-Revolution-Timeline.htm | Humanities History & Culture Major Events That Led to the American Revolution 1763 - 1775 Public Domain by Martin Kelly Updated December 31 , 2018 The American Revolution was a war between the 13 British Colonies in North America and Great Britain . It lasted from April 19 , 1775 , to Sept . 3 , 1783 , a little over 8 years , and resulted in independence for the colonies . Timeline of the War The following timeline discusses the events that led to the American Revolution , beginning with the end of the French and Indian War in 1763 . It follows the thread of increasingly unpopular British policies against the American colonies until the colonists ' objections and actions led to open hostility . The war itself would last from 1775 with the Battles of Lexington and Concord until the official end of hostilities in February 1783 . The Treaty of Paris was later signed in September of the same year . 1763 February 10 - The Treaty of Paris ends the French and Indian War . After the war , the British continue to fight a number of Indian rebellions including one led by Chief Pontiac of the Ottawa Indians . The financially draining war combined with the increased military presence for protection will be the impetus for many future taxes and actions of the British government against the colonies . October 7 - The Proclamation of 1763 is signed forbidding settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains . This area is to be set aside and governed as Indian territory . 1764 April 5 - Grenville Acts pass parliament . These include a number of acts aimed at raising revenue to pay for the French and Indian War debts along with the cost of administering the new territories granted at the end of the war . They also include measures to increase the efficiency of the American custom system . The most objectionable part was the Sugar Act , known in England as the American Revenue Act . It increased duties on items ranging from sugar to coffee to textiles . April 19 - The Currency Act passes Parliament , prohibiting the colonies from issuing legal tender paper money . May 24 - Boston town meeting protesting the Grenville measures . James Otis first discusses the complaint of taxation without representation and calls for the colonies to unite . June 12 - 13 - Massachusetts House of Representatives creates a Committee of Correspondence to communicate with the other colonies about their grievances . August - Boston merchants begin a policy of nonimportation of British luxury goods as a form of protest against the British economic policies . This later spreads to other colonies . 1765 March 22 - The Stamp Act passes parliament . It is the first direct tax on the colonies . The purpose of the tax is to help pay for the British military stationed in America . This act is met with greater resistance and the cry against taxation without representation increases . March 24 - The Quartering Act goes into effect in the colonies requiring residents to provide housing for British troops stationed in America . May 29 - Patrick Henry begins the discussion of the Virginia Resolutions asserting the right that only Virginia has the right to tax itself . The House of Burgesses adopts some of his less radical statements including the right to self - government . July - Sons of Liberty organizations are founded in towns across the colonies in order to fight against the stamp agents , often with outright violence . October 7 - 25 - Stamp Act Congress occurs in New York City . It includes representatives from Connecticut , Delaware , Maryland , Massachusetts , New Jersey , New York , Pennsylvania , Rhode Island , and South Carolina . Petition against the Stamp Act is created to be delivered to King George III . November 1 - The Stamp Act goes into effect and all business is basically stopped as colonists refuse to use the stamps . 1766 February 13 - Benjamin Franklin testifies before Parliament about the Stamp Act and warns that if the military is used to enforce it , this could lead to open rebellion . March 18 - The Stamp Act is repealed . However , the Declaratory Act is passed which gives the British government the power to legislate any laws of the colonies without restriction . December 15 - The New York Assembly continues to fight against the Quartering Act , refusing to allocate any funds for housing the soldiers . The crown suspends the legislature on December 19th . 1767 June 29 - Townshend Acts pass parliament introducing a number of external taxes including duties on items like paper , glass , and tea . Additional infrastructure is set up to ensure enforcement in America . October 28 - Boston decides to reinstate nonimportation of British goods in response to the Townshend Acts . December 2 - John Dickinson publishes Letters From a Farmer in Pennsylvania to the Inhabitants of the British Colonies explaining the issues with British actions to tax the colonies . It is highly influential . 1768 February 11 - Samuel Adams sends a letter with the approval of the Massachusetts Assembly arguing against the Townshend Acts . It is later protested by the British government . April - An increasing number of legislative assemblies support Samuel Adams ' letter . June - After a confrontation over Customs violations , John Hancock ' s ship Liberty is seized in Boston . Customs officials are threatened with violence and escape to Castle William in Boston Harbor . They send out a request for help from British troops . September 28 - British warships arrive to help support the customs officials in Boston Harbor . October 1 - Two British regiments arrive in Boston to maintain order and enforce customs laws . 1769 March - A growing number of key merchants support nonimportation of goods listed in the Townshend Acts . May 7 - George Washington presents nonimportation resolutions to the Virginia House of Burgesses . Proclamations are sent out from Patrick Henry and Richard Henry Lee to King George III . May 18 - After the Virginia House of Burgesses is dissolved , the delegates including George Washington meet at the Raleigh Tavern in Williamsburg to endorse the nonimportation agreement . 1770 March 5 - Boston Massacre occurs killing five colonists and injuring six . This is used as a propaganda piece against the British military . April 12 - English crown partially repeals the Townshend Acts except for the duties on tea . 1771 July - Virginia becomes the last colony to abandon the nonimportation pact after the repeal of the Townshend Acts . 1772 June 9 - The British customs vessel Gaspee is attacked off the coast of Rhode Island . The men are set ashore and the boat is burned . September 2 - The English crown offers a reward for the capture of those who burnt the Gaspee . The offenders are to be sent to England for trial which upsets many colonists as it violates self - rule . November 2 - A Boston town meeting led by Samuel Adams results in a 21 - member committee of correspondence to coordinate with other Massachusetts towns against the threat to self - rule . 1773 May 10 - The Tea Act goes into effect , retaining the import tax on tea and giving the East India Company the ability to undersell colonial merchants . December 16 - The Boston Tea Party occurs . After months of growing consternation with the Tea Act , a group of Boston activists dressed as Mohawk Indians and boarded tea ships anchored in Boston Harbor in order to dump 342 casks of tea into the water . 1774 February - All colonies except North Carolina and Pennsylvania have created committees of correspondence . March 31 - The Coercive Acts pass parliament . One of these is the Boston Port Bill which does not allow any shipping except for military supplies and other approved cargo to go through the port until the customs duties and the cost of the Tea Party are paid for . May 13 - General Thomas Gage , the commander of all British forces in the American colonies , arrives in Boston with four regiments of troops . May 20 - Additional Coercive Acts are passed . The Quebec Act is termed ' intolerable ' as it in part the southern boundary of Canada is extended into areas claimed by Connecticut , Massachusetts , and Virginia . May 26 - Virginia House of Burgesses is dissolved . June 2 - A revised and more onerous Quartering Act is passed . September 1 - General Gage seizes the Massachusetts Colony ' s arsenal at Charlestown . September 5 - The First Continental Congress meets with 56 delegates in Carpenters Hall in Philadelphia . September 17 - The Suffolk Resolves are issued in Massachusetts urging that the Coercive Acts are unconstitutional . October 14 - The First Continental Congress adopts a Declaration and Resolves against the Coercive Acts , the Quebec Acts , the Quartering of troops , and other objectionable British actions . These resolutions include the rights of the colonists including that of " life , liberty , and property . " October 20 - A Continental Association is adopted to coordinate nonimportation policies . November 30 - Thomas Paine moves to America . December 14 - Massachusetts militiamen attack the British arsenal at Fort William and Mary in Portsmouth after being warned of a plan to station troops there . 1775 January 19 - The Declarations and Resolves are presented to parliament . February 9 - Massachusetts is declared in a state of rebellion . February 27 - Parliament accepts a conciliatory plan , removing many of the taxes and other issues brought up by the colonists . March 23 - Patrick Henry gives his famous " Give me liberty or give me death , " speech at the Virginia Convention . March 30 - The crown endorses the New England Restraining Act that does not allow for trade with countries other than England and also bans fishing in the North Atlantic . April 14 - General , now Governor , Gage in Massachusetts is ordered to use any force necessary to apply all British acts and to stop any buildup of a colonial militia . April 18 - 19 - Considered by many to be the beginning of the actual American Revolution , the Battles of Lexington and Concord begin with the British heading to destroy a colonial arms depot in Concord Massachusetts .

http://americanhistory.about.com/od/usconstitution/a/12th-Amendment.htm | Humanities History & Culture History and Current Order of US Presidential Succession Brief History and Current System of US Presidential Succession LBJ Sworn In On Air Force One . Keystone / Hulton Archive by Robert Longley Updated December 03 , 2018 The presidential line succession refers to the manner in which various federal government officials assume the office of President of the United States leaves office before an elected successor is inaugurated . Should the president die , resign or be removed from office by impeachment , the Vice President of the United States becomes president for the rest of the former president ’ s term . Should the vice president be unable to serve , the next official in the line of succession acts as president . The US Congress has wrestled with the issue of presidential succession throughout the nation ' s history . Why ? Well , between 1901 and 1974 , five vice presidents have taken over the top office due to four presidential deaths and one resignation . In fact , between the years 1841 to 1975 , more than one - third of all U.S. presidents have either died in office , resigned , or become disabled . Seven vice presidents have died in office and two have resigned resulting in a total of 37 years during which the office of vice president was completely The Presidential Succession System Our current method of presidential succession takes its authority from : The 20th Amendment ( Article II , Section 1 , Clause 6 ) The 25th Amendment The Presidential Succession Law of 1947 President and Vice President The 20th and 25th Amendments establish procedures and requirements for the vice president to assume the duties and powers of the president if the president becomes permanently or temporarily disabled . In the event of the president ' s temporary disability , the vice president serves as president until the president recovers . The president may declare the beginning and end of his or her own disability . But , if the president is unable to communicate , the vice president and a majority of the president ' s Cabinet , or " . . .other body as Congress may by law provide . . . " may determine the president ' s state of disability . Should the president ' s ability to serve be disputed , Congress decides . They must , within 21 days , and by a two - thirds vote of each chamber , determine whether the president is able to serve or not . Until they do , the vice president acts as president . The 25th Amendment also provides a method for filling a vacated office of the vice president . The president must nominate a new vice president , who must be confirmed by a majority vote of both houses of Congress . Until ratification of the 25th Amendment , the Constitution provided that only the duties , rather than the actual title as president should be transferred to the vice president . In October 1973 , Vice President Spiro Agnew resigned and President Richard Nixon nominated Gerald R . Ford to fill the office . in August 1974 President Nixon resigned , Vice President Ford became president and nominated Nelson Rockefeller as the new vice president . Although the circumstances that caused them were , shall we say , distasteful , the transfers of vice presidential power went smoothly and with little or no controversy . Beyond the President and Vice President The Presidential Succession Law of 1947 addressed the simultaneous disability of both the president and vice president . Under this law , here are the offices and current office holders who would become president should both the president and vice president be disabled . Remember , to assume the presidency , a person must also meet all the legal requirements to serve as president The order of presidential succession , along with the person who would currently become president , is as follows : 1 . Vice President of the United States - - Mike Pence 2 . Speaker of the House of Representatives - - Paul Ryan 3 . President pro tempore of the Senate - - Orrin Hatch Two months after succeeding Franklin D . Roosevelt in 1945 , President Harry S . Truman suggested that the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate be moved ahead of Cabinet members in the line of succession in order to ensure that the president would never be able to appoint his potential successor . Both the Secretary of State and other Cabinet secretaries are appointed by the president with the approval of the Senate , while the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate are elected by the people . The members of the House of Representatives choose the Speaker of the House . Similarly , the President pro tempore is chosen by the Senate . While it is not a requirement , both the Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore are traditionally members of the party holding the majority in their particular chamber . Congress approved the change and moved the Speaker and President pro tempore ahead of the Cabinet secretaries in the order of The secretaries of the president ' s Cabinet now fill out the balance of the order of presidential succession 4 . Secretary of State - - Mike Pompeo 5 . Secretary of the Treasury - - Steven Mnuchin 6 . Secretary of Defense - - Gen . James Mattis 7 . Attorney General - - Acting Attorney General Matthew G . Whitaker 8 . Secretary of the Interior - - Ryan Zinke 9 . Secretary of Agriculture - - Sonny Perdue 10 . Secretary of Commerce - - Wilbur Ross 11 . Secretary of Labor - - Alex Acosta 12 . Secretary of Health & Human Services - - Alex Azar 13 . Secretary of Housing & Urban Development - - Dr . Ben Carson 14 . Secretary of Transportation - - Elaine Chao 15 . Secretary of Energy - - Rick Perry 16 . Secretary of Education - - Betsy DeVos 17 . Secretary of Veterans ' Affairs - - Robert Wilkie 18 . Secretary of Homeland Security - - Kirstjen M .

documentary The Forgotten Frontier asked Do you know that America is still a frontier country for about fifteen million people with almost no medical nursing or dental care And that in our history we have lost more women in childbirth than men in war Fortunately there was a solution to these problemsat least for poor women and families in eastern Kentuckyand that solution was the Frontier Nursing Service FNS and its nursemidwives on horseback The nursemidwife carried two leather saddlebagsone on each side of the horse connected by a strap She had one pair of saddlebags for general health care and one for home deliveries Nearly all babies were delivered at home These saddlebags are from the 1930s Mary Breckinridge a public health nurse and midwife from a distinguished Southern family had founded FNS in Kentuckys Appalachian Mountains in 1925 In that year as The Forgotten Frontier put it a new kind of fotchedon woman an eastern Kentucky phrase meaning women fetched from other places to to work with the mountain people first appeared in the wild Kentucky highlands This fotchedon woman was a professional nursemidwife a registered nurse with training in midwifery Your browser does not

Forgotten Frontier in 1931 In the saddle all weathers the silent film explained the nursemidwife found her way to isolated mountain cabins making friends with brighteyed children tending women in childbirth spreading ideas of furrin foreign sanitation and hygiene Serving families in a 700mile area extending into four southeastern Kentucky counties FNS had by 1930 six outpost centers with two nursemidwives at each responsible for both the general health of all of the families as well as prenatal labor and delivery and postnatal care for women in their district The narrow winding roads of Appalachia meant that nursemidwives might have to ride for up to an hour on horseback to help a woman in labor Though supervised by physicians the isolated nature of rural Kentucky meant that these midwives often worked independently carrying supplies with them Included in the nursemidwifes saddlebags was a pocket scale After the birth the nursemidwife bathed the baby and dressed his cord Then she put him in a diaper and hung the diaper on the pocket scale With the babys weight pulling on the scale she read the number The nursemidwife rode back to weigh the newborn again when he was four days old ten days old and several more times in the first month The data collected would help provide a numerical and therefore scientific assessment of the health of the baby When Breckinridge did a horseback survey of 53 local midwives in 1923 she found that local granny midwives a term used to refer to Southern lay midwives until at least the mid20th century provided inadequate and outdated care to their mountain patients Few of these midwives had formal midwifery training and few used modern equipment This survey helped Breckinridge demonstrate that Kentucky women and their families needed care from a new kind of birth attendanta nursemidwife who would provide modern professional care and who carried scientific and modern equipment in her saddlebags Equipment in the saddlebags included medications such as liquid ergot which contracted muscle fibers and was used to prevent and check postpartum hemorrhage and silver nitrate for a babys eyes shortly after birth to prevent blindness caused by a mother passing a bacterial infection on to her newborn The nursemidwife carried all of these materials in her saddlebags because she was usually far from both her outpost center and the small FNS hospital she had to be prepared for whatever she found With the help of the equipment in those saddlebags FNS nursemidwives lost astoundingly few mothers FNS was a great success by any measure Tools that could be found in a nursemidwifes kit including a thermometer scissors measuring tape cord ties gauze and a pocket scale A small portable stove with matches and a sterno can allowed nurse midwives to heat water and sterilize instruments as necessary These saddlebags were essential not only to the health care and midwifery work of nursemidwives but also to the public relations campaign that Mary Breckinridge cleverly conducted to gain financial and general support for FNS At a time when urban middleclass women were giving birth in hospitals with physicians Breckinridge began a service for women giving birth at home with nursemidwives Photographs of babies in saddlebags and nursemidwives on horseback helped build public support for this seeming anomaly in professional health care Ultimately FNS got tremendous support from the wealthy and the prominent in great part because it was serving Painkillers such as morphine and codeine helped alleviate the pain women experienced during labor Kentucky the birthplace of American nursemidwifery now houses Frontier Nursing University which has provided graduate education to nursemidwives and more recently nurse practitioners since 1939 This university combines distance education and clinical work in the students own community to educate a significant percentage of American nursemidwives Then as now nursemidwives monitored the patients blood pressure as her labor advanced Today in the United States there are 39 accredited graduate midwifery education programs and over 11000 certified nursemidwives and certified midwives a newer kind of professional birth attendant In 2012 the most recent year for which we have statistics those professional midwives attended 118 of all vaginal births and 79 of total births in the United States They attend the births of women of all income levels races and ethnicities in urban suburban and rural areas and serve as primary care providers for women of all ages Completed forms like this allowed nursemidwives to track and better understand the medical issues which many women in labor faced Guest blogger Laura Ettinger PhD is an associate

Yet for many , Lincoln ’ s promise of freedom remained incomplete . Over the next half century , the looming figure of Abraham Lincoln witnessed a number of events and demonstrations that reinforced the memorial ’ s importance as a symbolic space for civil rights movements . Dedication of the Lincoln Memorial On May 30 , 1922 , a large crowd gathered for the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial . The seating , like much of Washington , was segregated by race , yet the organizers chose Dr . Robert Russo Moton , President of Tuskegee Institute , as the keynote speaker . Addressing the mostly white crowd , Moton delivered the first of what would be many civil rights speeches at the memorial . He challenged the audience to consider Lincoln ’ s call for a “ new birth of freedom . ” From that day forward , the Lincoln Memorial Dedication Ceremony Programs National Museum of American History Marian Anderson Concert In a direct challenge to segregation , Marian Anderson performed at the Lincoln Memorial on Easter Sunday in 1939 . The Daughters of the American Revolution had barred her from singing in Washington ’ s Constitution Hall . In response , a broad coalition of civil rights advocates , with support from Eleanor Roosevelt and Secretary of the Interior Harold L . Ickes , organized a concert on the steps of the memorial . More than 75,000 people attended the performance , and millions more listened to the live radio broadcast . Anderson opened by pointedly singing “ My Country Marian Anderson Concert at the Lincoln Memorial National Museum of American History , photographs by Robert Scurlock " Nobody expects ten thousand Negroes to get together and march anywhere for anything at any time . . . .In common parlance , they are supposed ot be just scared and unorganizable . Is this true ? I contend it is not . " A . Philip Randolph February 6 , 1941 1941 March on Washington As the nation prepared for World War II , A . Philip Randolph , President of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters , called for a mass protest on July 1 , 1941 , to end discrimination in government defense industries . Randolph worked with local organizers to mobilize African American communities and estimated that as many as 100,000 participants had committed themselves to march down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Lincoln Memorial . Just six days before the demonstration , President Franklin Roosevelt issued Executive Order 8802 , establishing the Fair Employment Practice Committee and prohibiting discrimination in defense industries . Randolph canceled the protest , and Roosevelt ’ s concessions established the precedent that the federal government had a responsibility to address racial discrimination among government contractors . Button for the 1941 March National Museum of American History , gift of Rita Jaros 1957 Prayer Pilgrimage In 1957 , civil rights leaders called for a demonstration at the Lincoln Memorial to coincide with the third anniversary of the Supreme Court decision in Brown v Board of Education . Organizers were determined to protest the lack of progress in desegregating schools , draw attention to the deteriorating economic conditions of blacks in the South , and push for new civil rights legislation . More than 25,000 people attended the rally on May 17 , making it the largest civil rights demonstration in the nation ’ s capital .

Among the items he purchased from Philadelphia instrument maker Thomas Whitney were three pocket compasses for $ 2.50 each , and this silver - plated pocket compass for $ 5 . It has a mahogany box , a silver - plated brass rim that is graduated to degrees and numbered in quadrants from north and south , a paper dial , two small brass sight vanes , and a leather carrying case . Following the instructions of President Thomas Jefferson , the Corps of Discovery , under the leadership of Lewis and Clark , ascended the Missouri River in May 1804 to obtain detailed information on the natural resources of the region , to search for a northwest passage , and to make official diplomatic contact with Indian leaders . By the time they returned to St . Louis in September 1806 , few of the instruments that were purchased for the trip had survived the journey . The pocket compass , however , was kept by Clark as a memento . He later gave the compass to his friend , Capt . Robert A . McCabe , whose heirs donated it in 1933 to the Smithsonian Institution .

http://americanhistory.si.edu/disabilityrights/exhibit.html | The Disability Rights Movement The ongoing struggle by people with disabilities to gain full citizenship is an important part of our American heritage . The disability rights movement shares many similarities with other 20th - century civil rights struggles by those who have been denied equality , independence , autonomy , and full access to society . This exhibition looks at the efforts - far from over - of people with disabilities , and their families and friends , to secure the civil rights guaranteed to all Americans . These people only want to be treated the same as everyone else . So they often have to fight to be included . | [

It ' s pretty well recognized that it ' s the same thing in general . December 17 2009 , 23 : 52 : 42 UTC It could be , yes . I found one source that seems to suggest powdered sugar is more finely ground , and one that seems to say US powdered sugar all contains cornstarch , not sure that icing sugar has that . vgnwtch December 17 2009 , 23 : 57 : 18 UTC I lived in NJ for 12 years , and was completely confused by this question for several months when I first left the UK . In those days , there were n ' t websites , there was pretty much BBs and IRC . Thank goodness for graphical interfaces . . . My experience is that there is no difference between powdered / confectioner ' s sugar and icing sugar . I have made cakes on both sides of the Atlantic , and never found anything to indicate differently .

I ' m really thinking it ' s the cornstarch thing . . .I might have to experiment . : ] mizzykitty December 18 2009 , 01 : 50 : 07 UTC It probably has to do with the way they manufacture it . When they manufacture products like powders , they generally include chemical additives that make it so the product has good flow , and does n ' t clump up in the machines . It is likely that the different taste is from using different additives . That explains why there is no difference when baking , because the additives behave the same and serve the same function . They just taste a little bit different , and probably make the texture of the finished product slightly different . http : / / www . understandingfoodadditives . org / pages / Ch2p7 - 1 . htm ukjen December 20 2016 , 18 : 04 : 37 UTC There is a difference . American icing sugar which is what Tate and Lyle icing sugar in Britain now is , does n ' t make good British Royal icing . it looks like concrete , is very grainy and does n ' t work as royal icing for piping , apparently the starch of maize breaks it down . It probably makes good custard and possibly gravy which is what we use corn starch for .

British sugar only used to use calcium phosphate as anti caking agent in . that ' s the main difference . we used to have icing sugar that was cane sugar and beet sugar in origin . now the British sugar with the red tractor on is beet sugar , Whitworths say theirs can be either and Tate and Lyle only supply us with american icing sugar . i am in process of taking Post a new comment 12 comments | [

http://americanliteraryblog.blogspot.com/2010/01/death-of-virginia-clemm-poe.html | The American Literary Blog Home About this blog About me Appearances : Talks and Performances January 30 , 2010 Death of Virginia Clemm Poe It ' s no secret that Edgar Poe married his 13 - year old first - cousin , Virginia Clemm . The pairing was not particularly unusual for the time period , though her age was a little on the young side ( tradition aimed for the woman to be closer to age 15 ) . Perhaps , what was unusual was the true love they shared throughout their 10 + years of blissful marriage She referred to him as " Eddy " and he often called her " Sissy . " They struggled together as Poe did his best to make a living as a writer ( at a time when it was nearly impossible to do so ) and she faithfully followed him from Baltimore to Virginia to New York to Philadelphia back to New York as he sought work . It was in Philadelphia that Mrs . Poe first displayed symptoms of " consumption , " today called tuberculosis . She died five years after that incident , in New York , on January 30 , 1847 . She was 24 years old ( the image included here was created shortly after her death ) . Poe was devastated by her death , though he knew it was coming . Rumors today abound that Poe was so despondent after her death , that he turned to drinking and wrote macabre pieces about the death of beautiful women . In fact , Poe ' s first macabre work was published before he ever even married Virginia . His treatise exploring his theory that " the death of a beautiful woman " was the " most poetical topic in the world " was written two years before her death as a companion piece to his most famous poem , " The Raven " — Virginia was very much alive and is not the " lost Lenore " in the poem . Poe ' s drinking is legendary , particularly after his wife ' s death . However , as most legends , the stories are based only partly on fact then exaggerated to massive proportions . Many report that he turned to alcohol after the loss of his wife . In fact , it was after Virginia ' s death that Poe sought help for his drinking problem , culminating in his public vow of sobriety and membership in the Sons of Temperance ( an anti - alcohol union ) — in other words , after his wife ' s death , he stopped drinking . Romantically , he had since moved on and found at least two potential second wives . Ultimately , few of Poe ' s works are directly related to his wife or her illness . The clearest example of a Poe work " inspired by a true story " is not the fictitious Lenore nor the equally fictitious " Annabel Lee " but the romantic short story " Eleonora " — a relatively obscure sketch written while Virginia was still relatively healthy .

http://americanmachinist.com/automation/magnetic-grippers-robots | Automation and Robotics Magnetic Grippers For Robots Charles Bates | Jun 11 , 2008 Typically , magnetic clamping technology is mainly used in stationary workholding systems . That is until now with the introduction of the Magnos Mau magnetic gripper that adapts to fit onto any robot arm for handling ferromagnetic workpieces . The gripper , from Schunk Inc . ( www . schunk . com ) , ensures a secure hold at very limited space requirements at a low weight . In operation , the Magnos gripper ’ s electropermanent magnets activate in seconds . Even in the event of a power outage , the grippers provide an absolutely secure hold because electricity is only needed to activate and deactivate the magnets . The number of Magnos poles is variable . Pole size is 50 mm by 50 mm for a maximum degree of flexibility . The grippers are ideal for loading and unloading machines and for handling both smaller and larger workpieces . Holding force per pole , with an air gap of 0 mm , is 380 da / N , and the cycle time runs 20 sec . Publish our articles on your site . Learn how . . . 0 comments | [

http://americannutritionassociation.org/newsletter/role-diet-migraine-headaches | Newsletter Homepage Volume 38 , No . 2 The Role of Diet in Migraine Headaches Migraine headaches are a common neurological disorder , and studies show that their prevalence has increased in the last twenty years , especially in children . The cause of the increase in prevalence is not known . The stress of a more hectic and competitive life - style is postulated as a factor , but changes in dietary habits may be equally responsible . Other factors known to precipitate headaches in migraine - susceptible persons ( migraineurs ) include fatigue , exercise , sleep deprivation , bright lights , head trauma , infection , menstruation , and oral contraceptives . Foods and beverages that may trigger migraine attacks The list of foods , food additives , and beverages that can precipitate headaches in migraine - susceptible persons is long and includes the following : Aged or strong cheese Cured meats ( hot dogs , bacon , ham , and salami ) Citrus fruits Fatty or fried foods Chocolate , nuts Monosodium glutamate Food dyes , additives Pickled herring , chicken livers Ice cream Yogurt , sour cream Meat and vegetable extracts Pork and seafood Canned figs , broad beans , tomatoes Caffeine - containing drinks ( coffee , tea , all " cola " soft drinks ) Caffeine withdrawal Alcoholic drinks ( red wine , beer ) Aspartame , nitrites , sulfites . Patients with migraine may be abnormally sensitive to one or more of these dietary items , a disorder sometimes described as a chemical idiosyncrasy or food intolerance . A true food allergy with positive skin testing is uncommon . The chemicals contained in foods that are responsible for the headache triggering effect are chiefly tyramine and other amines , including phenylethylamine and histamine . Tyramine is found in cheese , especially aged , strong and cheddar varieties , phenylethylamine in chocolate , octopamine in citrus fruits , and histamine in red wine and beers . Caffeine addiction and withdrawal , Tyramine - triggered migraine One of the first reports of the relation of tyramine to the migraine attack was that of Dr Edda Hanington ( British Medical Journal , 2 : 550 , 1967 ) who observed a headache reaction to cheese eaten by patients treated for depression with certain drugs . The drugs , monoamine oxidase ( MAO ) inhibitors , inhibit an enzyme that normally metabolizes tyramine , the migraine provoking chemical found in cheese and other foods . MAO inhibitors taken in chance combination with a meal of cheese can also cause an acute rise in blood pressure by releasing the neurotransmitter norepinephrine , another reason for headache symptoms . It is postulated that patients with dietary migraine are sensitive to tyramine - containing foods Other foods known to be associated with tyramine and migraine include beer , wine , pickled herring , chicken liver , yeast , coffee , broad bean pods , citrus , and canned figs . Patients with depression treated with MAO inhibitors should be given a list of foods to be avoided , especially if they also have a predisposition to migraine . Chocolate - induced migraine Phenylethylamine , theobromine , and caffeine , the chemical triggers in chocolate , may cause a headache by altering the cerebral blood flow and releasing norepinephrine ( Martin , Behbehani , 2001 ) . When adult migraineurs who complained that chocolate provoked their headaches were challenged with either a chocolate bar or a closely matched placebo , 5 of 12 had a typical migraine headache after eating chocolate while none of 8 receiving the placebo suffered a headache ( Gibb CM , et al , 1991 ) . Although parental reports indicate a frequent association between chocolate and migraine in children , controlled studies sometimes fail to confirm a trigger effect . A subgroup of migraine patients may be sensitive to chocolate . Caffeine - withdrawal headaches Caffeine concentrations contained in commonly consumed stimulant drinks vary from a high of 150 mg in a 5 oz cup of coffee to 35 mg in a 12 oz can of cola . Pain relievers taken for headache also contain caffeine . Caffeine causes constriction of cerebral blood vessels . When caffeine intake is interrupted , the blood vessels dilate , and the increase in cerebral blood flow results in headache . Patients sometimes need to be hospitalized to manage a serious addiction and dependency resulting from chronic caffeine overuse . Alcoholic beverages and migraine Many patients with migraine can not tolerate alcoholic beverages even in small amounts . Alcohol has a vasodilator effect on cranial blood vessels . However , the alcohol per se is probably not the migraine - provoking chemical , but rather , the tyramine and histamine contained in many red wines and beers . Only a particular variety of grape is responsible in some patients , and young and cheaper varieties are often less well tolerated than aged and more expensive vintages . In some countries , the problem of wine - induced headache has been so widespread at times that vintners have been forced to curtail the production of red wine in favor of white , which is better tolerated by some consumers . Grapes organically grown and wines free of sulfites are thought by some to be less likely to trigger headaches . A chemical effect on cranial blood vessels by some ingredient in certain alcoholic beverages is the most plausible explanation for the migraine response . Stress may act as a secondary trigger mechanism in some situations . A migraineur exposed to a stressful and tiring work environment may complain of an inability to tolerate wine , whereas the same person on a relaxing vacation may drink and enjoy the same wine without suffering headaches . Migraine is not primarily a psychogenic illness , but stress and fatigue are common precipitants of attacks . Table I . Allergenic dietary migraine triggers and hypoallergenic alternatives . Allergenic or Chemical Triggers Non - Allergenic Foods Dairy : aged or processed cheese American or cottage cheese Cereals : wheat Rice , potato Meats : hot dogs , salami , fried foods Lamb , chicken Vegetables : broad beans , limas Broccoli , cauliflower Beverages : red wine , beer , sulfites , diet soda , coffee excess Decaf coffee & cola , some juices - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Modified from Millichap , Diet and Migraine Headaches . PNB Publishers , with permission . Nitrates , Nitrites , and " Hot Dog " headache Hot dogs and other cured meats such as bacon , ham , and salami contain nitrates . Cured meats contain about 10 per cent of the average daily intake of nitrate in the diet , while the consumption of beets , lettuce , celery , spinach , broccoli , cauliflower , and potatoes contribute the largest portion of nitrate to the daily diet . Fruits , milk , bread , and water are relatively small sources of the nitrate intake , in normal circumstances . Nitrites are formed by the reduction of nitrates in the saliva or by bacterial action in the intestine . The vasodilator effect of nitrites is responsible for the hot dog headache and flushing of the face and neck commonly associated . The addition of nitrite to meats has three purposes : In addition to the occurrence of headache , nitrites can cause methemaglobinemia ( low oxygen in the blood ) , which imparts a slate gray cyanotic color to the skin ; and they may act on amines in the diet to form nitrosamines , which are carcinogenic . High levels of nitrate in the well waters of regions of Columbia and in two village communities in rural England , where the incidence of stomach cancer was abnormally high , have been linked to the use of sodium nitrate fertilizer . Nitrates and nitrites may be limited in the diet by reducing the intake of cured meats such as hot dogs and salami and by checking well water for nitrate contamination . Aspartame - triggered migraine The FDA and CDC cleared aspartame for general consumption , excepting for children with phenylketonuria ( an inborn error of metabolism ) . Despite this clearance , many scientists expressed caution concerning its use by patients with migraine , epilepsy , and neuropsychiatric problems . In recent years , several studies have demonstrated that headaches may be exacerbated in patients suffering from migraine . ( Van den Eeden , S.K. , et al . , Neurology , 44 : 1787 - 93 , 1994 ; Lipton , R.B. , . , Neurology , 38 ( Supplement 1 ) : 356 , 1988 ; Newman , L.C. , Lipton , R.B. , Headache , 41 : 899 - 901 , 2001 ; Millichap , J.G. , Pediatric Neurology Briefs , 15 : 89 , 2001 ) . The number and scientific standard of these studies reported in the medical literature confirm the role of aspartame as a significant trigger of headaches in migraineurs , and emphasize the need to caution patients regarding the potential adverse effect of this ubiquitous sugar substitute . Fatty foods and migraine Fatty acids , primarily linoleic and oleic acids , may be involved in the mechanism of migraine vascular headaches . During a migraine attack , researchers have measured a significant rise in the blood levels of free fatty acids , which occurs simultaneously with the release of serotonin from blood platelets , and an abnormal distension of cranial arteries . The initial aura of a migraine attack , characterized by visual scotomata ( blind spots ) , is associated with cranial artery constriction . This is followed by vasodilatation ( distention of blood vessels ) as the immediate precursor of In a study of the influence of low - fat diet on the incidence and severity of migraine headaches in 54 patients at the University of California , Irvine , CA ( Bic , Z . , Journal of Womens Health & Gender - Based Medicine , 8 : 623 - 30 , 1999 ) , a decrease in dietary fat to a maximum of 20 grams per day was associated with a significant decrease in headache frequency , intensity , and duration ( p < .0001 : probability less than one in ten thousand that the observed difference in headaches would occur by chance ) . Paradoxically , certain fish oils containing high quantities of omega - 3 fatty acids , as in cod and salmon , have been found to prevent migraine attacks in certain patients . These fatty acids are thought to have a stabilizing effect on nerve cell membranes , making them more resistant to the migraine mechanism . " Ice cream " headache Migraineurs may complain of headache while eating ice cream or other frozen foods . The pain is usually located over the forehead or behind the eyes . The application of a cold stimulus to the mouth or throat may cause a reflex constriction of blood vessels around the head , resulting in the initiation of a headache in susceptible individuals . Food allergy and migraine Various foods , including cow ' s milk , egg , and wheat cereal , in addition to amine rich chocolate , orange , and cheese , may provoke headache in migraine - susceptible patients , especially children . In a study at Great Ormond Street Children ' s Hospital , London , UK , of 88 patients treated with an " oligoantigenic diet , " a diet that eliminates all but a few sensitizing food antigens , 93 per cent with severe frequent migraine responded and were free of headaches . ( Egger , J . , Lancet , 2 : 865 , 1983 ; Journal of Pediatrics , 114 : 51 - 8 , 1989 ) . The elimination diet consists of one meat ( lamb or chicken ) , one carbohydrate ( rice or potato ) , one fruit ( banana or apple ) , one vegetable ( brassica ) , water , and vitamin supplements . Of the 82 patients who improved on the diet , all but eight relapsed on reintroduction of one or more foods , including chocolate . Fifty - five different foods provoked symptoms on reintroduction . A remarkable fondness for migraine - provoking foods was a common finding , some patients craving them and eating them in large amounts . Unfortunately , the susceptibility to diet - triggered headaches is not consistently confirmed by reactivity to the food , skin - prick tests , and immune globulin antibody titers , and diagnosis by the elimination diet is quite demanding . The reported relationship between food allergy and migraine is difficult to prove , and the concept remains controversial . Many neurologists and allergists are skeptical of the use of restrictive diets in treatment , and a universal migraine - food elimination diet is discouraged in practice . Specific headache triggers should be identified by carefully completed headache calendars . Monosodium glutamate . The Chinese Restaurant Syndrome The Chinese Restaurant Syndrome , now named " MSG symptom complex , " has been linked to the frequent use of monosodium glutamate ( MSG ) in some asian food . Consumers , about 1 in 50 of diners in Asian restaurants , report flushing , tingling , dizziness , and headache . Symptoms usually appear within 15 - 60 minutes after ingesting relatively large amounts of MSG on an empty stomach . MSG is a flavor enhancer . It is found in frozen foods , canned soups , salad dressings , processed meats , sauces and snack foods . Patients with migraine may have an exacerbation of headaches after ingesting MSG , because of its effects on cranial blood vessels . " Hunger " and hypoglycemic headaches Fasting and consequent low blood sugar ( hypoglycemia ) may trigger headaches in patients with migraine . Studies have shown that 50 percent of migraineurs have headaches after 16 hours without food . Altered levels of serotonin and norepinephrine and dilation of blood vessels around the brain and scalp are the probable mechanisms of hunger - triggered headaches . Following the ingestion of an excessive carbohydrate load , a vascular headache may also occur in response to a rapid insulin secretion and reactive lowering of blood sugar . To avoid these sugar intolerance , hypoglycemic triggers , migraine sufferers should eat three well balanced meals a day and avoid an overabundance of carbohydrate foods at any single meal . Breakfast should not be neglected , especially in children . Nonmedication therapeutic techniques in migraine management Although pain relieving and anti - inflammatory drugs ( eg . acetaminophen , Fiorinal , ibuprofen , Naproxen , or triptans ) are usually required in the treatment of an acute migraine attack , and some medications ( eg . amitriptyline , propranolol , and anticonvulsants ) are effective in prevention of headaches , other nonmedication therapies can prove valuable adjuncts in the management of a migraine patient . In addition to diet , alternatives or complements to drug treatments include biofeedback , visualization / imagery and hypnotherapy , muscle relaxation , stretching exercises , aerobic activities , trigger point compression , cold packs or a heating pad , electrical stimulation , massage , acupuncture , manipulation , and psychotherapy . Magnesium and riboflavin vitamin supplements can be beneficial , and feverfew is one of the herbal remedies that is sometimes recommended by practitioners of alternative medicine . The therapy of migraine is multifaceted and involves treatment of the individual as a whole ( physical , nutritional , emotional , and spiritual , or " holistic " therapy ) as well as the counseling of family members . Prevention of headaches by careful attention to known migraine triggers is preferable to frequent administration of pain - relieving drugs . Unfortunately , the nutritional and dietary aspects of migraine management are most frequently neglected in favor of potentially toxic medications . by J .

It is the most widely recognized nutrition certification by federal and state governments . It is the only non - dietetics credential and examination widely named in state nutrition licensure laws . It is l isted by the US Government ' s Department of Labor as an advanced nutrition credential in the definition of the " Dietetics and Nutritionists " profession in its Occupational Outlook Handbook . It is l isted by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid as among those potentially eligible to order therapeutic diets in hospitals . Certified Clinical Nutritionist ( CCN ) : a CCN is a highly qualified nutritional professional with a 4 - year bachelor ' s degree and a 900 - hour internship , a 56 - hour post - graduate intensive study in clinical nutrition or a master ' s degree in human nutrition from the University of Bridgeport or Bastyr University and must pass the national board exam issued by the CNCB [ 7 ] . The CCN focuses on how foods are digested , absorbed , and assimilated , and ultimately how food affects the body biochemically . Among the many aspects of nutrition research considered within Registered Dietitian ( RD ) : an RD is a food and dietary professional , usually with a 4 - year bachelor ' s degree and 900 - 1200 hours in a dietetic internship through an accredited program and passing a dietetics registration exam . Dietitians focus on calories ( energy ) , quality of food in regard to freshness , sanitation and freedom from spoilage and contamination , meal planning , evaluation of standard measurements of foods , specific diets for certain conditions , and eating patterns based primarily on food groups , such as the food pyramid , and other guidelines based on daily Certified Nutritional Consultant ( CNC ) : a CNC is provided by the AANC after completion of an open book exam [ 12 ] . Certified Nutritionist ( CN ) : a CN can be obtained after a two - year college level or distance learning six - course program and passing a proctored exam [ 13 ] . Medical Doctor ( MD ) : a licensed allopathic doctor must attend a 4 - year accredited medical school and must past the USMLE board exams . Following medical school they must complete a residency program and take certification board exams . The philosophy of the conventional medical doctor is to treat disease using evidence - based medicine [ 1 ] . Osteopathic Doctor ( DO ) : a licensed osteopathic doctor must attend a 4 - year accredited medical school plus additional training on manipulative medicine techniques and disease prevention and must pass the COMPLEX exam with the option of taking the USMLE . After medical school they must complete an osteopathic or allopathic residency . More recently it has been suggested that osteopathic doctors and allopathic doctors are indistinguishable . Osteopathic doctors abide by the Hippocratic oath as well as 4 core principles . These principles are [ 2 ] : The body is a unit , and the person represents a combination of body mind , and spirit The body is capable of self - regulation , self - healing , and health maintenance . Structure and function are reciprocally interrelated . Rational treatment is based on an understanding of these principles : body unity , self - regulation , and the interrelationship of structure and function .

http://americanpregnancy.org/infertility/male-infertility/ | Male Infertility Home Infertility Male Infertility Male Infertility : Causes , Treatment and Prevention Infertility affects approximately 1 out of every 6 couples . An infertility diagnosis is given to a couple who are unable to conceive over the course of one year . When the problem lies with the male partner it is referred to as male infertility . Male infertility factors contribute to approximately 30 % of all infertility cases , and male infertility alone accounts for approximately one - fifth of all infertility cases . What causes male infertility ? There are four main causes of infertility in males : A hypothalamic or pituitary disorder ( 1 - 2 % ) Gonad disorder ( 30 - 40 % ) Sperm transport disorder ( 10 - 20 % ) Unknown causes ( 40 - 50 % ) Much research remains to be performed on the topic of male infertility , as many cases still receive an “ unknown cause ” diagnosis . Male infertility usually occurs because of sperm that are abnormal , because of inadequate numbers of sperm , or problems with ejaculation . Sperm can be considered abnormal for two possible reasons : unusually short life span of the sperm and / or low mobility . Sperm abnormalities may be caused by one or more of the following : Inflammation of the testicles Swollen veins in the scrotum Abnormally developed testicles Reasons for a low sperm count or lack of sperm include one or more of the following : A pre - existing genetic condition Use of alcohol tobacco or other drugs Severe mumps infection after puberty Hernia repairs Hormone disorder Exposure to poisonous chemicals Exposure to radiation A blockage caused by a previous infection Wearing restrictive or tight underwear Injury to the groin area Male infertility can also occur when there are problems with ejaculation . Ejaculation problems may include any of the following : Premature ejaculation Retrograde ejaculation , which occurs when the semen is forced back into the bladder Erection dysfunctions Complications from radiation therapy or surgery Other causes of male infertility can include : History of STD ’ s Urinary tract infections Use of certain types of medications How is male infertility diagnosed ? Potential male infertility will be assessed as part of a thorough physical examination . The examination will include a medical history regarding potential contributing factors . Your healthcare provider may use one or more of the following tests to assess fertility : Semen analysis to determine the number and quality of sperm Blood test to check for infections or hormone problems . Hormone levels are just as important in male fertility as they are in female fertility Making a culture of fluid from the penis to check for infections Physical examination of the penis , scrotum , and prostate Semen analysis is the most important part of male fertility testing . Some men find it more comfortable to do semen analysis testing in the privacy of their own homes . SpermCheck is a corporate sponsor of the American Pregnancy Association offering home semen analysis . You can learn more here What are they looking for in the testing ? When semen analysis is done , your health care provider will be looking for some specific markers to access fertility . Total amount or volume of semen – 2 milliliters is considered normal . A lower amount may indicate an issue with the seminal vesicles , blocked ducts or a prostate gland issue . Sperm count – 20 million to 300 million per milliliter is considered in the normal range for sperm counts . Below 10 million is considered “ poor . ” Morphology – the size and shape of the sperm affect the sperms ability to reach and fertilize an egg . 30 % is considered a good amount of sperm that is shaped “ normal . ” And “ strict ” testing shows an even lower percentage as normal . Motility – movement and number of active cells . Movement is rated from 0 - 4 , with score over 3 considered good . The amount of active cells is rated in percentages from 1 - 100 % , with 50 % considered the minimum . How is male infertility treated ? Male infertility is most often treated by conventional methods that include one or more of the following : Taking medications to help increase sperm production Taking antibiotics to heal an infection Taking hormones to improve hormone imbalance Avoiding taking long hot showers , using hot tubs or saunas Wearing looser underwear such as boxer shorts versus jockey shorts Sperm production may also improve by taking clinically proven supplements . Anything that increases the number of healthy sperm increases the chances of conception . Many health food stores and vitamin shops offer male fertility supplements . Shop for male fertility supplements Artificial insemination is an option if the man ’ s sperm count is low . In this procedure , sperm is collected through multiple ejaculations . They are then manually placed in the female ’ s uterus or fallopian tubes . In vitro fertilization is another option that can be used to overcome male infertility factors . In this procedure , the sperm and egg are fertilized in a laboratory after which the fertilized egg is placed in the female ’ s uterus . If tests show that there is no sperm production or that other related problems are present , donor sperm can be used to help facilitate conception . In this procedure , donor sperm is obtained from a sperm bank and placed inside the female ’ s uterus or fallopian tubes through artificial insemination . Can male infertility be prevented ? There is usually nothing that can be done to prevent male infertility caused by genetic problems or illness . However , there are actions that men can take to decrease the possibility of infertility . These include : Avoiding sexually transmitted diseases Avoiding illicit drugs Avoiding radiation when possible Avoiding exposure to toxic substances Avoiding heavy or frequent use of alcohol Observing good personal hygiene and health practices Avoiding long , hot baths , hot tubs or saunas Wearing loose - fitting underwear Some couples want to explore more traditional or over the counter efforts before exploring infertility procedures .

http://americanpregnancy.org/labor-and-birth/false-labor/ | False Labor Home Labor and Birth False Labor As the time of delivery approaches , you might notice that Braxton Hicks contractions become more frequent and intense . It is very common for women to think that they are experiencing actual labor and proceed to the hospital or call their midwife only to learn that it was a false alarm or “ false labor . ” How can you tell the difference between real labor and false labor ? The following information can serve as a guide : What is false labor ? Signs of false labor include : Irregular and unpredictable contractions ( for example , intervals between contractions of ten minutes , six minutes , two minutes , eight minutes , etc . ) There is no progression of labor Contractions are felt as a generalized abdominal tightening Change in activity or body position causes contractions to slow down or stop There is no evidence of bloody show Membranes have not ruptured False labor vs . the real thing How frequent are your contractions ? Record your contractions using a watch or clock , jotting down the time each contraction begins . True labor develops into a regular pattern , with contractions growing closer together . With false labor , contractions remain irregular . How long does each one last ? Record how long each contraction lasts by jotting down when it begins and when it stops . True labor contractions last more than 30 seconds at the onset and get progressively longer , up to 60 seconds , whereas false labor contractions vary in length and intensity . Do the contractions continue with change in activity ? The contractions in true labor continue regardless of the activity of the mother , and can grow even stronger with increased activity such as walking . False labor contractions often cease regardless of the mother ’ s activity . Where do you feel the contractions ? With true labor , the pain tends to begin high in your abdomen , radiating throughout your entire abdomen and lower back , or visa versa . In the case of false labor the contractions are often concentrated in the lower abdomen and groin . But even after experiencing these signs of labor , you ca n ’ t be sure if you are actually in labor . Some women have painful contractions for days with no cervical changes while other women might feel only a little pressure and backache . Should I go to the hospital or birth center ? Some women might disregard what they are feeling because their due date is weeks away , only to find out at their regular checkup that they are fully dilated . On the other hand , some women leave for the hospital or birth center with regular contractions that are 3 minutes apart only to have them completely stop after they arrive . If this happens to you , you do n ’ t need to feel embarrassed or frustrated . Rather , try to keep your thoughts positive and try to view the experience as a good practice run . There are variations in these scenarios , but false alarms can be even more convincing in second and third labors in spite of the fact that those mothers have prior experience . So if you are in doubt , call your health care provider ; keep in mind that if your contractions continue to get longer , stronger and closer together , it is probably the real thing !

http://americanpregnancy.org/naturally/treat-itchy-skin-naturally-pregnancy/ | How to Treat Itchy Skin Naturally During Pregnancy Home Naturally How to Treat Itchy Skin Naturally During Pregnancy During pregnancy , as the blood supply to the skin increases , it is very common to experience mild itching . You may also experience itching as the skin on your abdomen stretches . While most itching during pregnancy is very normal and not a reason for concern , more severe itching may indicate an underlying liver condition known as intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy ( ICP ) or obstetric cholestasis ( OC ) . OC is a liver condition that disrupts the flow of bile in the body during pregnancy . Bile salts generally flow from the liver to the digestive tract to aid in digestion . With OC , the flow of bile is disrupted causing a buildup of bile in the body . This can cause severe itching all over the body , although for some women , itching occurs primarily on the hands and feet . Such itching may worsen at night but is not typically accompanied by a rash . Other symptoms may include dark urine , gray bowel movements , and jaundice ( yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes ) . OC occurs most commonly during the third trimester , although it can develop earlier . The good news is that it generally subsides within a few days after delivery . While OC affects less than 1 % of pregnant women , it is a potentially serious condition that needs to be monitored by your doctor , particularly as it increases the risk for pregnancy complications such as preterm birth and stillbirth An additional condition that may cause itchiness is prurigo of pregnancy . This condition is characterized by small , itchy bumps on the skin which may be mistaken for insect bites . Prurigo can occur at any point during pregnancy and may continue post - delivery . Many believe it is caused by changes in immune function during pregnancy . Fortunately , prurigo poses no risk to your baby . How to Treat Itchy Skin Naturally During Pregnancy If you experience mild itching during pregnancy , there are several natural steps you can take to alleviate your symptoms . Regularly apply an unscented lotion or moisturizer . Wear clothing that is loose so it is less likely to irritate the skin . Try to wear clothing made of natural fibers , such as cotton , which are more breathable than synthetic materials . If you experience more severe itching , it is important to consult your physician . Your doctor may perform a set of liver function tests ( LFTs ) to determine if you have obstetric cholestasis . If you are diagnosed with OC , your doctor will need to regularly perform LFTS for the duration of your pregnancy to monitor the health of both you and the baby . While there is currently no cure for OC , some options for easing symptoms include taking a warm bath or applying ice to an itchy area of skin . As OC can interfere with the absorption of vitamin K , which is necessary for proper blood clotting , your doctor may also recommend that you take a vitamin K supplement . You may also find calamine lotion beneficial in alleviating the itching . Keep in mind , however , that the safety of using calamine lotion during pregnancy and breastfeeding is unknown , so make sure to talk with your doctor before using it . How to Treat Itchy Skin during Pregnancy When Naturally Does n ’ t Work If natural options do not work , you may consider taking medication . To treat prurigo , your doctor may prescribe topical emollients or steroids combined with oral antihistamines . For OC , it is not recommended to use antihistamines or corticosteroid creams during pregnancy as they may be harmful to your baby . However , medications , such as Urso , can help reduce bile in the mother ’ s blood . These medications also alleviate itchiness and reduce the risk of complications for the fetus . Urso is safe to take during pregnancy , although caution is advised when using it while breastfeeding . While such medication may help treat OC , your doctor may also want to induce labor early to prevent complications such as stillbirth . If you have OC , make sure to talk with your doctor or midwife about your options . Last updated : September 3 , 2016 at 0 : 45 am Compiled using information from the following sources : 1 .

http://americanpregnancy.org/pregnancy-complications/fetal-arrhythmia/ | Fetal Arrhythmia Home Pregnancy Complications Fetal Arrhythmia Fetal Arrhythmia : Causes and Concerns What is fetal arrhythmia ? Fetal arrhythmia is a term that refers to any abnormality in the heart rate of your baby . These can include tachycardia – an increased heart rate – or bradycardia , which is a slowed heartbeat . The normal heart rate for a fetus is anywhere between 120 and 160 beats per minute . Fetal arrhythmia is rare , occurring in only 1 - 2 % of pregnancies , and is normally a temporary , benign occurrence . However , on rare occasions , irregular heart rhythm can lead to death . What causes fetal arrhythmia ? Fetal arrhythmia has been linked to a number of possible causes . In some cases healthcare providers may not be able to pinpoint the source , especially f the abnormal rhythm is transient . It is possible that high levels of caffeine consumption may cause heartbeat irregularities , but currently only case studies have been performed . It is suggested that pregnant women limit their caffeine intake to 200mL of caffeine a day – roughly the amount found in one cup of coffee . Also , arrhythmia may , at some point in development , be normal . During the second trimester , the baby ’ s heart may begin to beat irregularly as the electrical pathways of the heart mature . This is natural , and not a cause for alarm unless the arrhythmia lasts for a considerable period of time . Some arrhythmias may indicate a structural abnormality of the heart , in which case your healthcare provider will run further tests and take any appropriate action necessary . If the baby ’ s heart rate is consistently high , your doctor may prescribe you medication that is passed through the placenta to the baby to help regulate the heartbeat . Should I be concerned about fetal arrhythmia ? The causes of arrhythmia are still relatively unknown . However , based on the information that doctors do have , it appears that most arrhythmias are not life - threatening to you or your baby . Fetal arrhythmia is a rare occurrence , and in most cases will resolve by itself . In the unusual circumstance that the arrhythmia is more severe , the baby may be born with a heart irregularity that is managed throughout his or her life . There is a remote chance that fetal death may occur while in the womb or during delivery . Fetal arrhythmia and Next Steps As noted above the majority of fetal arrhythmia conditions take care of themselves . Your health care provider ’ s first step will be to monitor the heart rate and well - being of your baby . However , there may be questions about the condition that warrant further investigation . In these rare cases , your healthcare provider may refer you to a fetal cardiologist for further evaluation .

http://americanpregnancy.org/pregnancy-complications/hyperemesis-gravidarum/ | Hyperemesis Gravidarum Home Pregnancy Complications Hyperemesis Gravidarum Hyperemesis Gravidarum : Signs , Symptoms , and Treatment Hyperemesis gravidarum is a condition characterized by severe nausea vomiting , weight loss , and electrolyte disturbance . Mild cases are treated with dietary changes , rest , and antacids . More severe cases often require a stay in the hospital so that the mother can receive fluid and nutrition through an intravenous line ( IV ) . DO NOT take any medications to solve this problem without first consulting your health care provider . Why is this happening to me ? The majority of pregnant women experience some type of morning sickness ( 70 – 80 % ) . Recent studies show that at least 60,000 cases of extreme morning sickness called hyperemesis gravidarum ( HG ) are reported by those who treated in a hospital but the numbers are expected to be much higher than this since many women are treated at home or by out patient care with their health care provider . It is believed that this severe nausea is caused by a rise in hormone levels ; however , the absolute cause is still unknown . The symptoms of HG usually appear between 4 - 6 weeks of pregnancy and may peak between 9 - 13 weeks . Most women receive some relief between weeks 14 - 20 , although up to 20 % of women may require care for hyperemesis throughout the rest of their pregnancy . There is no known prevention of Hyperemesis gravidarum but you can take comfort in knowing that there are ways to manage it . Distinguishing between morning sickness and hyperemesis gravidarum : Morning Sickness : Hyperemesis Gravidarum : Nausea sometimes accompanied by vomiting Nausea accompanied by severe vomiting Nausea that subsides at 12 weeks or soon after Nausea that does not subside Vomiting that does not cause severe dehydration Vomiting that causes severe dehydration Vomiting that allows you to keep some food down Vomiting that does allow you to keep any food down Signs and symptoms of hyperemesis gravidarum : Severe nausea and vomiting Food aversions Weight loss of 5 % or more of pre - pregnancy weight Decrease in urination Dehydration Headaches Confusion Fainting Jaundice Extreme fatigue Low blood pressure Rapid heart rate Loss of skin elasticity Secondary anxiety / depression What are the treatments for hyperemesis gravidarum ? In some cases , hyperemesis gravidarum is so severe that hospitalization may be required . Hospital treatment may include some or all of the following : Intravenous fluids ( IV ) – to restore hydration , electrolytes , vitamins , and nutrients Tube feeding : Nasogastric – restores nutrients through a tube passing through the nose and into the stomach Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy – restores nutrients through a tube passing through the abdomen and into the stomach ; requires a surgical procedure Medications – metoclopramide , antihistamines , and antireflux medications * Other treatments may include : Bed Rest – This may provide comfort , but be cautious and aware of the effects of muscle and weight loss due to too much bed rest Acupressure – The pressure point to reduce nausea is located at the middle of the inner wrist , three finger lengths away from the crease of the wrist , and between the two tendons . Locate and press firmly , one wrist at a time for three minutes . Sea bands also help with acupressure and can be found at your local drug store . Herbs – ginger or peppermint Homeopathic remedies are a non - toxic system of medicines . Do not try to self - medicate with homeopathic methods ; have a doctor prescribe the proper remedy and dose . Hypnosis * When it comes to medications , it is very important that you weigh the risks and the benefits . Some drugs may have adverse effects on you or the development of your baby . Discuss the risks and side effects of each drug with your health care provider . Where can I get more help ? To get more information on hyperemesis gravidarum you can go to the HER ( Hyperemesis Education & Research ) Foundation .

http://americanpregnancy.org/pregnancy-health/pregnancy-nutrition/ | Pregnancy Nutrition Home Pregnancy Wellness Pregnancy Nutrition Without a doubt , a nutritious , well - balanced eating plan can be one of the greatest gifts you give to your developing baby . Pregnancy nutrition is essential to a healthy baby . Ideally , adopting a healthy eating plan before pregnancy is best . No matter how many weeks are left on your countdown calendar , it ’ s never too late to start ! Supplying your own body with a tasty blend of nutritious foods can improve your fertility , keep you feeling healthy during pregnancy , and pave the way for an easier labor . It can also help to establish essential building blocks of growth and overall health for your child . The food we eat on a daily basis affects how our bodies work , how we heal and grow , and how we maintain energy and strength for years to come . It also determines the basic nutritional health that our children are born with , and provides a model for their eating habits during childhood and beyond . Pregnancy is the one time in your life when your eating habits directly affect another person . Your decision to incorporate delicious vegetables , whole grains and legumes , lean protein , and otherwise food choices into your eating plan before and during pregnancy will give your baby a strong start in life . Get our Free American Pregnancy Association app : iOS Android . It features meal recommendations , kick counter , blood glucose tracking , and more . Find a Nutritionist in your area Pregnancy Nutrition : Weight Change and Calories Your body will gain weight during your pregnancy ! As you watch your weight begin to increase , take it as proof that your body is nurturing your growing baby . By the time you are ready to give birth , your total blood volume will have increased by as much as 60 % Your breasts will have filled with milk . Your uterus will have grown to accommodate your baby and has filled with amniotic fluid . Your baby has grown to weigh 6 to 10 pounds ( on average ) . To accomplish all of these productive changes , your body needs approximately 300 extra calories per day during your 2nd and 3rd trimester of pregnancy . Every woman should discuss her individual nutritional needs with her health care provider . Do not neglect your baby ’ s health by neglecting your own ! Myth : Now that you are pregnant , you should be eating for two . Fact : It is true that your nutrient needs increase , but energy requirements only increase by about 300 calories per day for the second and third trimester of pregnancy . Myth : Gaining less weight during pregnancy will make delivery easier . Fact : Mothers who do not gain enough weight during pregnancy place their babies at risk for severe complications such as premature birth , which can cause lung and heart problems . : If you gain the right amount of weight during pregnancy , none of it will be fat gain . : A healthy pregnancy includes fat storage . Your body uses this excess fat as energy during labor and breastfeeding : Pregnant women only crave the foods their bodies need . : Pregnant women can crave foods of any type . Cravings should not be the sole indicator of nutritional needs . : A pregnant woman who is healthy will not experience discomforts . Nausea heartburn , and constipation are not biased ! They will afflict women regardless of healthy living . However , women who regularly eat healthy foods , drink plenty of water , exercise regularly , and avoid excess sugar and fat may significantly reduce these uncomfortable symptoms . Pregnancy Nutrition : Food Groups It is helpful to pay attention to recommended daily servings from each food group . Most foods come with a nutrition label attached . This nutrition label will help you to know what amount constitutes one serving . Protein Experts recommend 75 to 100 grams of protein per day . Protein positively affects the growth of fetal tissue , including the brain . It also helps your breast and uterine tissue to grow during pregnancy , and it plays a role in your increasing blood supply . Examples of daily sources of protein : 2 - 3 servings of meat ( 1 serving = approximately 3 ounces / size of a deck of cards ) fully cooked fish or seafood liver chicken lean beef lamb pork nuts ( 1 serving = approximately ⅓ cup ) tofu ( 1 serving = approximately ½ cup ) 2 - 3 servings of legumes ( 1 serving = approximately ½ cup ) split peas red and white kidney beans black beans navy beans black - eyed peas chick peas ( garbanzo beans ) Calcium The daily requirement of calcium is around 1000 milligrams during pregnancy . Calcium helps your body regulate fluids , and it helps build your baby ’ s bones and tooth buds . Examples of daily sources of calcium : 3 - 4 servings of dairy milk ( 1 serving = 1 cup ) eggs ( 1 serving = 1 large egg ) yogurt ( 1 serving = 1 cup ) pasteurized cheese ( 1 serving = approximately 1.5 ounces or 4 playing dice stacked together ) tofu ( 1 serving = ½ cup ) white beans ( 1 serving = approximately ½ cup ) almonds ( 1 serving = approximately ⅓ cup ) salmon ( 1 serving = approximately 3 ounces ) turnip greens ( 1 serving = approximately 1 cup ) cabbage ( 1 serving = approximately 1 cup ) Iron In combination with sodium , potassium , and water , iron helps increase your blood volume and prevents anemia . A daily intake of 27 milligrams is ideal during pregnancy . Examples of daily sources of iron : 2 - 3 servings of green leafy vegetables ( 1 serving = approximately 1 cup ) collard turnip spinach lettuce cabbage 3 servings of whole grains ( 1 serving = approximately ½ cup or one slice ) bread cornmeal cereal oatmeal 2 - 3 servings of lean protein ( 1 serving = approximately 3 ounces / size of a deck of cards ) beef seafood poultry Folate / Folic Acid Folic acid plays a key role in reducing the risk of neural tube defects , including spina bifida . Experts recommend 600 to 800 micrograms ( .6 to .8 milligrams ) daily . Examples of daily sources of folate : 2 servings of dark green leafy vegetables ( 1 serving = approximately 1 cup ) collard turnip spinach lettuce cabbage 2 - 3 servings of fruit ( 1 serving = approximately ½ cup ) orange strawberry lemon mango tomato grapefruit kiwi melon 3 serving of whole grain ( 1 serving = approximately ½ cup or 1 slice ) bread cornmeal cereal oatmeal 2 servings of legumes ( 1 serving = approximately ½ cup ) split peas red and white kidney beans black beans navy beans black - eyed peas chick peas ( garbanzo beans ) Vitamin C Fruits and vegetables rich in Vitamin C will promote wound healing , tooth and bone development , and metabolic processes . Experts recommend at least 85 milligrams per day . Examples of daily sources of Vitamin C : 3 servings of fruit or vegetables ( 1 serving = approximately ½ cup ) orange strawberry lemon mango tomato grapefruit kiwi melon potato peppers Other Nutritional Concerns During pregnancy , some foods can cause harm to a developing baby . Be sure that all meats are thoroughly cooked to avoid exposure to toxoplasmosis salmonella , and other harmful bacteria . Eliminate tobacco smoke drug use , and alcohol consumption from your diet . Reduce or eliminate caffeinated beverages ( soda , coffee ) from your daily intake , and maintain a reasonable exercise program throughout your pregnancy . Walking and swimming are considered healthy activities during pregnancy but always consult with your health care provider before starting a new exercise program .

http://americanpregnancy.org/pregnancy-health/vitamin-overdose/ | Vitamin Overdose Home Pregnancy Wellness Vitamin Overdose During pregnancy , it is important to get the proper nutrients to foster healthy fetal development . You may be tempted to take a multivitamin in addition to other supplements . However , vitamin overdose can occur when an individual takes more than the recommended daily amount of a vitamin . This can result when taking more than one multivitamin , or when taking individual vitamins in addition to a multivitamin . While any vitamin can be toxic , if taken in large amounts , calcium and iron pose the greatest toxic risks when taken in excess . Taking a multivitamin during pregnancy is important , although it is best to talk with your doctor before taking any additional supplements to avoid overdosing . Terms to Know : Recommended Daily Allowance ( RDA ) : the recommended vitamin dosage for 97 - 98 % of healthy individuals Tolerable upper intake level ( UL ) : the greatest amount of a vitamin that can be taken daily without risk of negative health effects Adequate Intake ( AI ) : when available data is inadequate to determine RDA , estimates are defined experimentally or through observation Vitamin Toxicity : occurs when taking megadoses of vitamin A , B 6 , C , D , or niacin Recommended Daily Intake for Vitamins Pregnant Women Breastfeeding Women Upper limit ( UL ) § Age ( yr ) 19 - 50 19 - 50 Folate ( μg ) 600 500 1000 Niacin ( mg NE * ) 18 17 35 Riboflavin ( mg ) 1.4 1.6 ND Thiamin ( mg ) 1.4 ND Vitamin A ( μg ) 770 1300 3000 Vitamin B 6 ( mg ) 1.9 2.0 100 Vitamin B 12 ( μg ) 2.6 2.8 Vitamin C ( mg ) 85 120 2000 Vitamin D ( IU ) 600 4000 Vitamin E ( mg ) 15 19 1000 Vitamin K ( μg ) 90 90 Note : Adequate intakes ( AIs ) are shown in bold type , while recommended dietary allowances ( RDAs ) are shown in regular type . * 1 niacin equivalent ( NE ) = 1 mg niacin or 60 mg of dietary tryptophan . 200 IU ( international unit ) of vitamin D = 5 μg cholecalciferol . ND = not determinable due to a lack of data ( intake should be limited to foods ) ; RAE = retinol activity equivalents ( 1 µg RAE of preformed vitamin A = 3.33 IU ) . Adapted from Dietary Reference Intakes , Food and Nutrition Board , Institute of Medicine . Washington , DC : National Academy Press . Symptoms of Vitamin Overdose : Symptoms of vitamin overdose also include symptoms that are a part of normal pregnancy . If you suspect a vitamin overdose , note changes in your pregnancy symptoms that might be explained by the excessive vitamins . Symptoms of a vitamin overdose may include but are not limited to the following : Cloudy urine Frequent urination Constipation Diarrhea Appetite loss Nausea Stomach pain Muscle weakness Muscle , joint , or bone pain Yellow - orange tint to the skin Sensitivity to the sun Itching or rash Headaches Fatigue Mental or mood changes Rapid or irregular heartbeat Eye irritation or sensitivity to light Cracking lips If you think you may have overdosed on a multivitamin or supplement , it is important to contact a medical professional immediately . Do not make yourself throw up , unless instructed to do so by a health care professional . Before calling , be prepared to answer the following questions : What is your individual ’ s age , weight , and condition ? What is the name of the product ? What time was the product taken ? How much was taken ? You can call the National Poison Control Center ’ s 24 - hour helpline at 1 - 800 - 222 - 1222 . It does not need to be an emergency to call . You are welcome to call for any question or concern related to overdosing or poisoning . Recommendations Vitamins and supplements are not one of those things where more is better . The American Pregnancy Association recommends you follow your healthcare provider ’ s prescription or the directions on your prenatal vitamin bottle . Although taking vitamins can be healthy , too much can be a bad thing . Last Updated 7 / 2015 Compiled from the following sources : A.D.A.M. , Inc . ( 2013 ) . Multiple vitamin overdose .
