If you want to read a damning critique of New Labour's social policies and a verdict on the awful Family and Parenting Institute (which is incidentally 90% funded by the taxpayer) then read this by George Pitcher. Brilliant, incisive commentary.

A damning critique of New Labour
The Price of Photography
Back in August, Hull City Council Leader, Cllr Carl Minns, had his collar felt by the police for the crime of trying out his new camera and taking a photograph of the St Stephen's Centre in Hull. He was initially stopped by a security guard and his details were passed in to the police. Click here to read the story.
Just like Cllr Minns, BBC photographer Jeff Overs, had his collar felt under Section 44 of the Terrorism Act. His crime was to take pictures of the London Skyline. Read about the story here.
I am certain these two cases are not isolated incidents. This will be going on every day of the week; innocent people going about their business and recording a few memories along the way are being treated as criminals. Will this change? We can only hope.

More NHS Hospitals are branded as 'dirty'
When Daniel Hannan described the NHS as a sixty year mistake, he did something unforgivable; he dared to criticise a national institution. For over half a century we have been indoctrinated into thinking the NHS is the envy of the world. We have been indoctrinated into thinking if we take ill overseas, the standard of care will not be a high as it is in the UK. We have also been indoctrinated into thinking the only option there is to the NHS is the US system of healthcare provision. This perhaps has been the most sinister lie of those on the left, and it is this argument that is wheeled out every time some of us try and discuss the future of healthcare in this country.
The indoctrination worked very well for decades, until we decided to holiday in other countries, rather than Blackpool or Clacton. We found out the standard of healthcare was high in many other countries and people were not dying on the streets because they couldn't pay their medical bills. Even though in our hearts we know this, the left still put the fear factor into play when we dare to criticise the NHS. We have become accustomed to the state doing everything for us, we no longer regard healthcare as our responsibility. The left knows this and they have been very successful in ensuring healthcare remains the biggest nationalised industry in Britain.
Occasionally, something happens to rock our faith in the NHS. If you want an elderly relative to meet their maker, so you can pick up your inheritance sooner rather than later, then all you have to do is encourage them to have an operation in Basildon. This is far cheaper than going to Switzerland and there are no legal ramifications for you either. The icing on the cake could be the compensation you receive after your dear great aunt dies from a hospital acquired infection. Not that Basildon should be singled out unfairly. Alder Hey Children's Hospital will also put your child's health at risk thanks to its poor infection control, even though they regarded themselves as doing everything they could to offer the cleanest and safest wards of any Children's Hospital in the country. The list goes on and on.
Millions of people around the country are frightened to go into hospital for operations, fearing what happened in Basildon may happen to them. Yet we love the NHS. The twitter campaign a few months' ago proved that; didn't it? I don't believe we love the NHS at all. What we appreciate is the notion of universal healthcare. We find ourselves reassured our credit card will not be hit if we fall ill. The Germans are also reassured by the that fact, but they don't have socialised medicine. They have a cost-effective system that offers universal healthcare to its citizens and you don't hear of wards being closed down all over Germany thanks to MRSA and other bugs. To find out how the Germans manage to do it, click HERE.
The Dr Foster Hospital Guide has highlighted what bad shape some of our hospitals are in. This would not be tolerated in most countries. Hospitals would go out of business. You would use your right to choose a hospital with a good record, and give other hospitals a wide berth. The market would ensure the patient came first and can do this without the need to have expensive medical bills or unaffordable insurance premiums. We have to move away from the notion it is the state's responsibility to pay for everything and become more responsible for our healthcare provision, and this does not mean the most vulnerable in society are left dying on the streets. A safety net must always be there in any civilised society. It means a mixture of private and public money and resources should be used to deliver a healthcare service that it fit for purpose and could easily become the envy of the world.
This is the challenge politicians will never rise to. Gradually dismantling the NHS is a vote loser. Until it is possible to have a rational debate on the NHS, nothing will change and Britain will be poorer as a result.

Gary McKinnon is let down by Alan Johnson
Alan Johnson seems to fit the title: Jack of all trades, master on none. His time as Home Secretary has hardly been one of unmitigated success. It appears the Home Office is Labour's equivalent of Northern Ireland. Prime Minister's send ministers there when they want to end their careers in a very final way. If Alan Johnson does have hopes of being Labour leader, he has now found himself between the devil and the deep blue sea or more pertinently, between a hard place of his own making and Plymouth Rock, buckling under the pressure of a US government deeply embarrassed by the actions of a Brit.
Gary McKinnon (photographed above) has Asperger's Syndrome. He is a UFO nut. Using his technological knowledge he managed to penetrate the seemingly impenetrable walls of the Pentagon. The Americans don't like this. They want blood. They have already made clear they are going to jump over every legal hurdle to get their man. The only thing that stands in the way is British justice. We are now supposed to sleep well in our beds. The big bad wolf is not going to win. In fairy tales this is true, but we don't live in a fairy tale and enter stage right, the Right Honourable Member for Hull West and Hessle. The High Court has refused Mr McKinnon the right to appeal to our Supreme Court. Alan Johnson, the postie done good, is now the star player. Is he going to do the right thing or is he going to blow the house down? Is he going to be the hero of the piece? No. Instead he is going to send Mr McKinnon to the US to face a prison sentence.
If I was a boffin in the Pentagon, I would want to get Mr McKinnon to explain how he did it. I would want to use his knowledge to make the computer systems secure. I would understand this man has a mental illness that makes him withdraw from the world we live in and live in a fantasy world.
Alan Johnson was the last roadblock to this extradition folly. He is the man who could have driven this runaway train into the buffers. He could have stopped this dead in its tracks. Instead he is the man who is so far out of his depth, he doesn't realise the responsibility of a holder of one of the great offices of state. It is now up to us to remind him. Write to him and tell him how disgusted you are with this decision. Write to the press. Express your outrage. The only court that matters now is the court of public opinion. Even Alan Johnson has to bow to that court if enough of us nudge him into a corner.
The end for the 'Big Screen' in Hull
It looks like it's about to bite the dust. Gone. Out of our sight forever. As quickly as it came into our lives, it seems as if it is going to depart as speedily. The 'Big Screen' in Hull has been a source of debate since it was installed in 2004. I have always thought it looked like an enormous version of a television set people all over the country were throwing out to upgrade to a newer model. Aesthetically it is a carbuncle on the face of Queen Victoria Square. It could have been placed in a better location and it could have looked better, but alas our former Labour masters thought differently, if indeed they ever thought about it at all. The decision was made in haste in the Guildhall equivalent of smoke filled rooms.
Now we are told it is going to cost £250,000 to run over the next three years and this – according to our Liberal Democrat masters – is the straw that breaks the camel's back. True, it has always been an expensive folly. Labour councillors seemed to be drawn into thinking Hull could somehow become Manchester with this monstrosity blasting out Look North around Queen Victoria Square, but I do have a problem.
Where is this television set, set for? Is it about to go to the technological graveyard in the sky, or is it going to be looked after in a benevolent council warehouse? Can it be resurrected at a future date, or has it already passed its use-by date? So much taxpayers' money has been wasted thus far. It is a thorn in the side for the LibDems. A problem inherited from the former ruling Labour group's profligacy. One can only hope that in the future Hull can move technologically forward in a planned and constructive way. As the UK faces bankruptcy thanks to national Labour profligacy, hope is all we have.

Hull's Christmas Market
Over the years I have enjoyed visiting Christmas Markets the length and breadth of Germany. These type of markets have become popular in the UK too, and I am pleased to report this year Hull is also holding a Christmas Market. This is where we are off to this evening.
It is hoped the market will increase the footfall in the city and judging by how popular they are elsewhere – including Germany – this should be a welcome addition for visitors to the city.
So come to Hull and experience Christmas in a different and peaceful way and pick up some unusual gifts. There will be plenty of German food and drink to keep you warm too!
UPDATE: Well, I suppose there is still over four weeks to go until Christmas Day. We got there just after 6.00pm. The majority of the stalls were food and sweets and most were unmanned. The place felt like the 'Marie Celeste' with only a handful of people there. For it to have the feel of a German market, it should have fewer food and drink stalls and more selling Christmas gifts and decorations. I hope it gets better, otherwise it will be a damp squib. I was disappointed tonight.

Tories back in a comfortable double-digit lead
Yesterday we had the rogue poll cutting the Tory lead to 6%. Now, yet another poll is released which will make Conservatives sleep a little easier in their beds tonight; Tories on 39%, Labour 22% and the Lib Dems on 21%. Others on 18%.
Two things worthy of note. Firstly, I have said for a quite some time that Labour and the Lib Dems are neck and neck on around 23%. This poll – taking into account the margin of error – suggests the same.
Secondly, the amount of people saying they will vote for other parties is increasing. This backs up my assertion the next election will be the biggest anti-government vote in a century. Once again, nothing in the polls – apart from the odd rogue poll – makes me think any differently.

The net financial cost of Britain's membership of the EU
Judging by some of the messages I have received about my last post, there appears to be some confusion, which I will now clear up.
During the next financial year – 2010/11 – Britain's net contribution to the EU will be £6.4 billion. This is how much the British taxpayer will stump up after our rebate and receipts are taken into account. For more information, please read this article written by the renowned and respected economist, Ruth Lea.

Speaking to East Yorkshire Conservatives
Last night I was the speaker at a supper club meeting of East Yorkshire Conservatives in Bridlington, on the subject of Quangos. Most people there were genuinely shocked at the amount of money being spent by Quangos and how much our membership of the European Union costs us each year. I quoted the following from Dr Lee Rotherham's book, Ten Years On: Britain without the European Union.
While you were watching the last Harry Potter, £1,891,998 was transferred to Brussels.
During the England footy match, £1,113,000 left the British bank account for good.
In the time that it took you to boil an egg, £37,098 was surrendered to the EU.
£12,366 in one minute.
£206.11 in the heart pump of a second.
Another £206.11.
And then another.
It made no sense at all. It was like forming a human chain to pass gold bullion down Blackpool pier and to dump a brick off the end every hundred seconds.
Every hour was a new Angel of the North being built by British taxpayers in another country.
The bill for just two days paid for the whole Royal Family.
Three days would have kept your local community hospital running for a year.
Five days of EU membership would have covered all the repairs needed to every cathedral in England, or paid for a new Kew Gardens.
Ten days would have bought a new Belmarsh prison.
Why not just cut out the middle man? Instead of handing over three and a half weeks of net payments, you could have simulated the financial loss by cutting down all the trees in England looked after by the Forestry Commission and ploughing salt into the soil.
For the equivalent value effect of five months of fees, you could have just burned every picture and every painting in the National Gallery. Or the Treasury could have taken revenge on international bankers, and paid the annual deficit by just handing over all the revenue of the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.
Food for thought? The statistics are breathtaking when stated in a way we can all relate to. I would like to thank East Yorkshire Conservatives for their very warm welcome and excellent hospitality. I had a very enjoyable time in Bridlington and look forward to returning.

Flooding in Cockermouth
Looking at the pictures from Cockermouth brought back the unhappy memories of when we were flooded in June 2007. So many people have had their lives turned upside down and judging by the scale of the flooding, they will be out of their homes much longer than the six and a half months we were out for.
My thoughts also go out to the family, friends and colleagues of PC Bill Barker, whose body was found earlier today. His widow has said the died doing the job the loved. According to Sky News
, he had been diverting traffic off Northside Bridge near Workington when it collapsed, throwing him into the River Derwent. It shows the courage, bravery and sense of duty of all members of the emergency services. The magnificent job they do should make us all proud.

Sir Stuart Bell in the Queen's Speech Debate
Sir Stuart Bell, the MP for Middlesbrough since 1983, has had a long career as an author, journalist, barrister and parliamentarian. I know he is gripped by a love affair with the EU, no doubt brought about during his time practicing law in France. Listening to him in the Queen's Speech debate though, I began to wonder if like the prime minister he has become divorced from reality,
The big story about the Queen's Speech today is what is not in it. After the turbulent year MPs have had, one would have thought Gordon Brown would grasp the nettle and include some form of reform bill. This was not to be. Sir Stuart – quite rightly – said in the House of Commons this afternoon, the voters are not talking about MPs' expenses and allowances. They are talking about other issues affecting them. He thinks the Commons will once again become a great institution without reforming it. At least not undergoing any major reforms. What he is forgetting is if it was not for the recession, the public would be taking MPs to task. Just because we in the grips of a recession does not mean politicians should sweep these matters under the carpet and hope they will go away.
Sir Stuart then went on to make the most nonsensical remark I have heard a politician make in a long time. To paraphrase him, he believes during this economic downturn, Britain needs the EU more than it has done in the past. How? Why? Do British businesses need more red tape; more bureaucracy; more rules and regulation? Do fishermen need the Common Fisheries Policy? Do we really need more decisions taken away from us; important decisions affecting our democracy and our economy?
Britain needs the EU like a hole in the head. To help us get out of this recession we need to throw off the shackles of the EU. British businesses need to freed from the red tape. If Sir Stuart Bell cannot see this, perhaps it is time he hung up his boots.
Quote of the Day
Cast iron promises from the Conservative Party aren't what they used to be
Gordon Brown – House of Commons – 18/11/09
Britain is best placed to weather the economic storm. No more boom and bust. British jobs for British workers, to name just three. The prime minister seems to have a poor memory as well as a poor grasp of reality.

The Cost of the Common Fisheries Policy
Tonight, I have been reading a report on the Common Fisheries Policy. With the latest TPA campaign highlighting how life would be very different outside the EU, I have been looking at a policy that has had such a detrimental effect on the British fishing industry. Living in Hull, this is something important to the people of Hull and the Humber Region in general.
Once again, the Taxpayers' Alliance is at the forefront of research into the economic impact the EU has on the UK economy. The UK fishing fleet, and associated industries have been crippled on three occasions in the past century: by the Kaiser, Hitler and the Common Fisheries Policy. On the first two occasions, the North Sea was a war zone.

Recipe for EU Agriculture Fudge
Following on from the cinema advertisement I posted yesterday, I realised I hadn't posted the following video on EU Agriculture Fudge. Another great way to the message across of how just how much the EU costs us each year.

Archbishop of Canterbury speaks on the economy and taxation
I don't agree with him, but if you want to know what all the fuss is about, here is Rowan Williams' full speech to the TUC today. Apparently taxation should not be regarded as an unreasonable burden and "tax is about corporate insurance … and is the essence of the democratic process."
Just when you think you have heard it all, someone comes along with something new.
What if Britain left the EU?
When I was growing up, the UK was part of the European Economic Community – the 'Common Market.' The EEC then transformed itself into the European Community. As part of this ongoing process, the transformation continued and the UK became part of the European Union. At no point during this were we the voters given the opportunity to have our say. Instead, those whom we elect to serve our interests, wilfully gave away huge chunks of our sovereignty to an unelected superquango in Brussels.
The advertisement at the top of this blog will be rolling out in cinemas nationally later this week. It gives you a glimpse of how much the EU costs taxpayers and businesses. It also promotes Dr Lee Rotherham's new book, 'Ten Years On: Britain without the European Union.' It's not just the financial cost though. Our right to govern ourselves as a free nation state has gone. We need to get this right back. This is just the start of a long campaign for democracy and freedom, but it is a fight we must win to rid ourselves of the meddling Brussels bureaucracy.

Help Iain Lindley fight for change in Worsley & Eccles South
Worsley & Eccles South includes the wards of Worsley, Boothstown & Ellenbrook, Walkden North, Walkden South, Little Hulton, Winton, Barton, Irlam and Cadishead.
Worsley & Eccles South is a notionally Labour-held seat, but at the last local elections, Conservative candidates outpolled Labour across the new seat by 12%. The Liberal Democrats are a poor third and have no Councillors in the constituency.
Recent polls suggest a close contest between Conservatives and Labour - it's a two-horse race between Gordon Brown's Labour candidate and local Conservative Iain Lindley.

Period 4 12/07/12 1. Attendance 2. Test today 1. No electronics during or after the test. 2. Sit facing front. 3. No talking or disturbing others. 4. Raise your hand if you have a question 1. Although – please don't ask me to explain how to do a question! 2
Homeostasis a.k.a. Dynamic (ENERGY!) Equilibrium (BALANCE!) -internal (inside) -external (outside) -Homeostasis -temperature -salt and water -glucose (simple sugar; C 6 H 12 O 6 ) -temperature -98.6°F -positive feedback=labor contractions!

hair down, vasodilation, sweating "ON" heat lost, blood cools "OFF"
insulin lowers carbohydrates glucose cellular respiration
What is hyperglycemia? Hyperglycemia (hi"per-gli-SE'me-ah) is an increase in plasma glucose (blood sugar). It can turn into a complex medical condition -- diabetic ketoacidosis (ke"to-as"id- O'sis) and coma -- if it's not treated on time and adequately. Hyperglycemia is usually the first sign of diabetes mellitus. Symptoms of hyperglycemia are polyuria (pol"e-YUR'e-ah) (excess urine) polydipsia (pol"e-DIP'se-ah) (thirst) polyphagia (pol"e-FA'je-ah) (excessive hunger)
What is hypoglycemia? Hypoglycemia (hi"po-gli-SE'me-ah) is a low level of plasma glucose (blood sugar). It's a dangerous condition because glucose is the major source of energy for the brain. Lack of glucose, like lack of oxygen, produces brain damage or even death if the deficit is prolonged. Hypoglycemia starts to cause these symptoms: sweating, tremors, anxiety, hunger, dizziness, headache, cloudy vision, confusion, abnormal behavior convulsions, loss of consciousness.
sugar uptake into cells, stored as glycogen "ON" (insulin released) normal blood sugar "OFF" (insulin stopped)
less ADH secreted, less urine "ON" water levels normal "OFF"
11 Enzymes: Who needs them? You do if you like detergents, bread, baby food, beer, fruit juice, cheese, candy, rubber, paper, or film because enzymes are needed to make these products! You do because living things can't live without them and you, my friend, are a living thing.
12 A tasty and delicious example of an enzyme at work… Complex carbohydrates like starch and glycogen are broken down into the simple sugar a.k.a. monosaccharide glucose in your mouth with the help of the enzyme salivary amylase. I guess spit's fantastic! A carbohydrate made of glucose subunits! Glucose, a simple sugar. salivary amylase
13 A not-so tasty and delicious example of an enzyme at work… The enzyme lactase, with the help of water, breaks (digests) the disaccharide lactose down into 2 monosaccharides─ galactose and glucose. Many adults, however, don't make enough lactase so ingesting dairy causes symptoms like painful gas and diarrhea. Uh-oh!
14 Enzymes are everywhere! even in a bug's butt luciferin + ATP oxyluciferin + AMP + light The above chemical equation represents a biochemical process that occurs in the abdomen of the firefly called bioluminescence. Without the enzyme luciferase to push the chemical reaction along, the insect would not glow and, therefore, would not be able to attract a mate. luciferase Photinus greeni finds a mate thanks, in part, to the enzyme luciferase!
15 How do enzymes keep us alive? An enzyme is a protein that catalyzes, or speeds up, a chemical reaction. Without enzymes, many of life's vital biochemical processes would happen too slowly or not at all! Think about a little kid on a swing. Without a push, they aren't going to get going. With a few pushes, though, that kid can swing on their own. The enzyme is what gives the biochemical process the push it needs to get going.
16 Enzymes are catalysts. Enzymes are biological catalysts. A catalyst makes a chemical reaction go faster but is not changed or used up by the reaction. The reason the enzyme's name is written above the arrow in a chemical equation is because it is the only molecule not changed during the chemical reaction a.k.a. biochemical process. This means that the same enzyme can be used over and over again which saves the body energy because it doesn't have to make new enzymes each time. Way to work smarter, not harder, body!
17 What's a lock got to do with it? You have 1000s of enzymes in your cells and each one speeds up a different chemical reaction a.k.a. biochemical process. An enzyme's shape determines what substrate it acts upon. This is called specificity and is illustrated by the lock-and-key model.
18 Enzymes: They Look a Hot Mess But They're a Specific Shape Here is an image of the restriction endonuclease enzyme EcoRI which digests DNA. Here is an image of the enzyme lactase which digests milk sugar.
19 So what might an enzyme do during a chemical reaction? An enzyme grabs a substrate (the molecule that the enzyme changes) and breaks it apart. The active site is where enzyme and substrate connect. In this example, the name of the reactant is sucrose. The names of the products are glucose and fructose. This is a breakdown a.k.a. digestion reaction and it releases energy when bonds are broken!
20 Are digestion reactions the only type of reaction? No! There are also synthesis reactions where an enzyme makes a big molecule out of 2 smaller ones. This uses energy! CO 2 + H 2 O carbonic anhydrase Here's a synthesis reaction taking place in your blood that happens 10 million times faster thanks to the enzyme:
21 How do enzymes speed up reaction rates and what affects them? Enzymes work by lowering the activation energy─ the amount of energy needed to push a chemical reaction forward. Each enzyme works best at a certain temperature, pH (acidic, neutral, or basic), and concentration (how much enzyme or substrate is around). Your body's enzymes work best at normal body temperature and a neutral pH except for enzymes in the stomach and vagina which have adapted to an acidic environment.
22 Do enzymes always work? Sometimes high temperature or extreme pH (strong acids and bases) may affect the shape of an enzyme. This effect is called denaturation and can make the enzyme less effective and possibly useless. Just as a melted house key won't open your door, a denatured enzyme won't work on its substrate! Good luck maintaining homeostasis if that happens! It just may be the dun-dun-schnipple!
FOOD 1. Provides energy for all of the body's functions, from the beating of the heart & the elimination of wastes to the transmission of electrical & chemical signals in the nervous system. Food is the fuel that contains energy from the sun, originally captured & stored by green plants, then passed along to fruits, seeds, & animals. Humans eat these foods & burn the fuel they contain to release the stored solar energy. As long as we live, we have to eat and eat often! Text from: Eating Well for Optimum Health Andrew Weil, MD
2. Food provides the building blocks of our bodies. In the same way that you can't build a lego castle without lego pieces, you can't build the parts of your body without certain nutrients.
The food we eat contains nutrients. Some of these we disassemble and then reassemble for parts we need. (Like breaking down the lego castle to build a lego ship instead.) Some nutrients are essential because we can't manufacture these on our own. Macromolecules are these nutrients.Macromolecules come in 4 types. All macromolecules are organic which means they are produced and made by living things. Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic acids
CARBOHYDRATES All carbs are made up of only 3 elements: Carbon, hydrogen, & oxygen. All carbs look like this in their simplest form. By the way, this is called a simple sugar or monosaccharide. mono = one saccharide = sugar But remember I said that you can use these guys as building blocks. Well if you put two of them together you get this. It's called a disaccharide. Di = two
And if you string a bunch of monosaccharides together you get a polysaccharide. They look like this. Luckily they have the same general shape (hexagonal) and they are all carbohydrates.
WHY ARE CARBOHYDRATES IMPORTANT? They are the body's preferred choice of energy. Just like your favorite shirt, you could wear the other shirt, but this one fits over your head without tugging. WHAT FOODS CONTAIN CARBOHYDRATES?
Let's review carbohydrates. Why do you need to eat them? What foods contain carbs? List the 3 elements that are contained in carbohydrates. Which of the following is a polysaccharide?
LIPIDS Lipids contain 3 elements; carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.Sounds familiar right!
Fats are triglycerides which are solid at room temperature. Oils are liquid at room temperature. Why are lipids important to our bodies? 1.Storage of energy. This way if you run low on carbs….. 2. Thermal insulation. 3. Mechanical protection. Example surrounding delicate organs such as the heart. 4. Waterproofing. Like the wax in your ears.
Some fats are called phospholipids. They look like this. Basically, the difference is that instead of 3 fatty acids and one glycerol, they have 2 fatty acids and a glycerol. The also have an end that loves to be in water and a side that repels water. Two layers together is a perfect way to surround a cell or a cell part!
Also, by the way, some hormones are lipids. WHAT CAN YOU EAT TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE LIPIDS? Butter
Review time. What 3 elements make up the group called lipids? Which of these are a lipid? How can you tell? List 3 ways your body uses lipids. What foods contain lipids?
PROTEINS Proteins are composed of 4 elements: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. The basic unit is called an amino acid and it looks like this. This is a 3-D image of a protein containing thousands of amino acids connected together & folded to make this distinct shape.
WHY DO YOU NEED TO EAT PROTEINS? Proteins make up most of the structure of your body. Actually, by weight, you are mostly water with proteins in second place. These are muscle cells. This is someone with big muscles. Proteins can be enzymes; these proteins regulate chemical reactions in your body. Hair is also made up of protein.
Proteins also form some of the entrances and exits through the cell.
Review again? Of course!!!! 1. Which of the following suspects is a protein component? 2. List some foods that provide proteins? 3. How does my body use proteins?
NUCLEIC ACIDS Nucleic acids make up DNA and RNA which are gigantic molecules that carry your hereditary information from generation to generation and are used to make proteins (remember them). Nucleic acids are made up of lots of nucleotides (the smallest units) strung together. DNA takes the shape of a double helix. We will learn a lot more about nucleic acids later!!!!
Micronutrients are nutrients you need in small amounts. (That's why they're called micro. ) VITAMINS AND MINERALS All natural vitamins are organic food substances found only in living things. With few exceptions, our bodies can't manufacture them. Many enzymes depend on vitamins to work properly. Minerals are inorganic substances such as calcium, iron, and salt that we need for such basic functions as muscles and nerves firing.
Dehydration is a lack of adequate body fluids for the body to carry on normal body functions. Fluid loss of 5% are considered mild, 10% moderate and up to 15% severe. Severe dehydration can result in cardiovascular collapse and death if not treated quickly. Symptoms: sunken eyes, dry or sticky mucus membranes in the mouth, skin lacks normal elasticity, decreased urination, decreased tears. WATER makes up more than half the weight of the human body. Without water, humans would die in a few days. All the cell and organ functions depend on water for functioning. It serves as a lubricant and forms the base for saliva and the fluids that surround the joints. It regulates the body temperature, as the cooling & heating are distributed through perspiration. Water helps to alleviate constipation by moving food through in the intestinal tract & thereby eliminate waste.
Kwashiorkor Meeting energy requirements is basic to survival A diet with excessive nonprotein calories from starch or sugar, but deficient in total protein and essential amino acids, results eventually in kwashiorkor. Kwashiorkor is characterized by generalized edema, "flaky paint' dermatosis, thinning and discolouration of the hair, enlarged fatty liver, and apathy in addition to retarded growth.
Symptoms: Weight loss of 25% or more, cold intolerance, constipation menstruation absent, skeletal muscle atrophy, low blood pressure, dental cavities, increased susceptibility to infection, blotchy or yellow skin, dry hair, hair loss and sometimes death. Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder associated with a distorted body image. Inadequate calorie intake results in severe weight loss.
Cheese pizza diet causes scurvy in 5-year-old July 17, 2000 NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - When it was discovered that sailors away at sea could stop their gums from bleeding by sucking on a lime, one of the first links between disease--in this case, a vitamin C deficiency-- and diet became apparent. But a recent report illustrates that even modern-day children anchored at home are vulnerable to scurvy--a vitamin C deficiency that causes bleeding gums, loose teeth, muscle degeneration and weakness. In one case, a 5-year-old boy ate nothing but Pop-Tarts, cheese pizza, biscuits and water for 5 months, according to a report in the July issue of the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine. He refused fruits, vegetables, juices and vitamins. The result? A case of scurvy--a disease seldom seen in developed countries today.
While the boy was playful, alert and appeared to be growing normally, he developed a limp and was diagnosed with anemia. His gums became swollen and he developed small, purple spots on his skin. Eventually, the pain was so severe he was unable to get out of bed or walk without assistance. After ruling out leukemia or other ailments, the doctors diagnosed the youngster with a severe vitamin C deficiency, most likely caused by his unusual diet. The doctors gave the boy vitamin C, which improved his pain and symptoms within a week.
It is worth while studying this presentation thoroughly because it is essential for an understanding of all the activities of living cells and organisms 2 THE CONCEPT OF 'RESPIRATION' IS CENTRAL TO ALL LIVING PROCESSES
All living cells are made up of chemical substances The processes of living involve reactions between the substances A reaction is an event which produces a change in a substance For example, a reaction between carbon and oxygen (such as burning coal in air) changes the carbon in the coal, and oxygen in the air into carbon dioxide 3 This reaction can be represented by the equation C + O 2 CO 2 carbonoxygencarbon dioxide
C o o an atom of carbon c a molecule of oxygen O 2 combine to form a molecule of carbon dioxide CO 2 plus 4
The reaction between carbon and oxygen also releases energy in the form of heat and light (flames) Living organisms get their energy from reactions like this (but not reactions which are violent enough to produce flames) 5
energy release source of carbon oxygen CO 2 6
7 One of the energy-producing reactions is called respiration (Respiration is not the same thing as breathing) The chemical reactions of respiration take place in all living cells The reaction takes place between oxygen and a substance which contains carbon. The reaction produces carbon dioxide and water, and releases energy
The carbon-containing substances come from FOOD The oxygen comes from the AIR (or water) The energy is used to drive other chemical reactions taking place in cells One example of this is the release of energy in muscle cells to make them contract and produce movement 8
9 One example of an energy-producing reaction in cells is the breakdown of sugar when it combines with oxygen This can be represented by the equation C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O +energy sugar (glucose) oxygencarbon dioxide water This means that one molecule of sugar reacts with six molecules of oxygen to produce six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water. Energy is released during this process
Respiration supplies the energy for muscle contraction germination cell division chemical changes in cells Some examples of the use of energy in organisms 10
The blood stream brings food and oxygen to the muscle cells. Respiration occurs in the cells and releases energy which…… shoulder blade upper arm bone lower arm bones Energy use in muscle contraction 11
12 …….makes the muscle contract and pull the lower arm up
(a) (b) (a) is a section cut through the length of a maize seedling. Areas of rapid respiration are stained pink. (b) and (c) are drawings of the seed and the seedling that grows from it. Can you suggest reasons why respiration should be so rapid in the stained regions? embryo shoot embryo root food store 13 root (c) shoot root
Answer The most intensely stained areas are in the root tip and the shoot tip. These are regions where very rapid cell division is taking place to produce growth. Making new cells and new cytoplasm takes a great deal of energy. You might also have noticed that, in the root, there are two faint streaks of pink. These occur in the conducting tissue of the seedling. Energy is needed to transport food from the food store to the growing region. 14
Glucose and oxygen react to produce energy for muscle contraction 4 RESPIRATION 5 Carbon dioxide is carried to the lungs by the blood 15 One example of respiration in ourselves 1. Air taken in 1.Food taken in 2. The lungs absorb oxygen from the air 2.The stomach and intestine digest food. One of the products is glucose 3.The blood stream carries glucose and oxygen to the muscles
Anaerobic Respiration 23
The process of respiration described so far has been defined as the release of energy when foodstuffs such as glucose react with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. This form of respiration, which needs oxygen, is called aerobic respiration. There is another form of respiration which does not need oxygen and is called anaerobic respiration. In anaerobic respiration, glucose is still broken down to carbon dioxide with the release of energy, but without the involvement of oxygen The glucose is not completely broken down to CO 2 and H 2 O but to CO 2 and alcohol (ethanol). 24
Anaerobic respiration can be represented by the equation C 6 H 12 O 6 2C 2 H 5 OH + 2CO 2 glucose alcohol energy For example, our own muscles resort to anaerobic respiration when oxygen is not delivered to them fast enough. The energy released by anaerobic respiration is considerably less than the energy from aerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration takes place at some stage in the cells of most living organisms. 25
Micro-organisms Anaerobic respiration is widely used by many micro-organisms such as bacteria and yeasts. Bacteria and yeasts are microscopic single-celled organisms. Bacteria are to be found everywhere, in or on organisms, in water, air and soil Yeasts are usually found in close association with vegetable matter such as fruit 26
Bacteria 0.002mm a single bacterium there are many species of bacteria and they have different shapes and sizes cell wall nucleus cytoplasm 27
Aerobic and anaerobic bacteria Bacteria which need oxygen in order to respire are called aerobic bacteria. Aerobic bacteria are likely to be found in the air, water and soil where oxygen is available Bacteria which can respire without needing oxygen are called anaerobic bacteria Anaerobic bacteria are to be found in situations where oxygen is lacking, such as in stagnant water, waterlogged soils or the intestines of animals 28
Fermentation One form of anaerobic respiration in bacteria and yeasts is called fermentation. During fermentation, sugar is broken down to alcohol and carbon dioxide The reaction described in slide 25 is an example of fermentation Fermentation is involved in brewing and wine-making 30
Yeasts 0.005mm single yeast cell Yeast cells dividing cell wall nucleus cytoplasm vacuole 29
Baking In baking, yeast is added to a mixture of flour and water, made into the form of a dough The yeast first changes the flour starch into sugar and then ferments the sugar into alcohol and CO 2 The CO 2 forms bubbles in the dough which cause it to expand ('rise') When the dough is baked, the heat evaporates the alcohol but makes the trapped bubbles expand giving the bread a 'light' texture 35
Dough rising 36 The yeast is mixed with the dough After 1 hour in a warm place the dough has risen as a result of the carbon dioxide produced by the yeast
The 'holes' in the bread are made by the carbon dioxide bubbles. This gives the bread a 'light' texture 37
1. What does the tubing represent? 2. What is inside the tubing? Cell membrane Starch & glucose
3. What did we add to make the liquid outside the "cell" amber colored? Starch indicator (iodine aka Lugol's Solution)
4. Why does the inside of the "cell" turn purple or black? Starch indicator diffused into the tubing High s.i.conc. Low s.i. conc.
5. How do we know that starch did not move from the inside to the outside? No color change outside. If there was starch in the beaker water, it would be purple!
6. How can we find out if glucose moved into the beaker? Glucose (high conc.) ? Do a glucose indicator test using the fluid in the beaker
7. After placing 10 drops of the amber solution into a test tube, what do we add to it? Glucose indicator aka Benedict's Solution
8. After adding the glucose indicator solution (blue) what do we do with the test tube? Heat it
9. If there is glucose in the solution, what will happen to the blue color after heating the tube for 2 minutes? The color changes
10. The blue color changed to orange. This means that what substance is in the test tube? Glucose
11. Glucose indicator solution was added to these test tubes, and then the tubes were heated. Which will change color? starch glucose C 6 H 12 O 6 What is this?? (hint: "plants")
Were you right?

2005 Ferrari F430 F1 2dr Coupe (4.3L 8cyl 6AM)
This is car is one of the most beautiful cars ever created. Its design and workmanship can only be really appreciated after actually owning it. It's the symbol of legendary Italian artistry and passion. Its sound is sexier than any car on the road. The drive is awesome in every aspect. Its handling is unsurpassed. Its fantastic acceleration does not even need to be mentioned. The attention you get from others around you when drive the F430 is something you need to get used to if you don't like attention. After all, a ferrari is not a car: it's a ferrari.
Killer looks that is unsurpassed. Awesome handling and acceleration. Total satisfaction when you drive one.
2005 Ferrari F430 Spider 2dr Convertible (4.3L 8cyl 6M)
The F430 is a great drive around town car, as well as a take on the track car. I have always liked the Pinin Farina style design, which compliments its predecessors.
I like being able to go from 60 mph to a grinding 15 mph to make the corner going into my subdivision.
2005 Ferrari F430 F1 Spider 2dr Convertible (4.3L 8cyl 6AM)
Though this is our first Ferrari, we underestimated what we were actually buying. Our F430 is far and away a better vehicle than either the Lamborghini Gallardo or the Porsche Carrera GT that we were able to drive. Special thanks to dealers that let 30 something millionaires drive before we buy. You earned our business!
This car not only looks hot...it is hot. I had an offer of $35,000 more than I payed for it later on in the night I brought it home.
More bling? Oh wait... this isn't a Bentley. It looks great!
This 360 makeover is a genuine disappointment to a true Ferrari fan. The engine, while an improvement over the 360 is light years behind the V10 powered Gallardo. The F1 shifter is still jerky at max revs but is also an improvement over the 360. Reliability is a big issue. In one month air conditioning, paint and trim issues were so bad I sold the car.
Ferrari allows a great deal of interior and exterior customization. Your Ferrari can be unlike any other.
The engine is woefully underpowered. The F1 shifter and actuation system is the same as the very unreliable 360 and you will replace it befor 35,000 miles. The brakes fade slighlty after several hours of hot running. The traction control system is way too restrictive for really fun driving.
The ferrari F430 is a new addition to my sports car colletion. It is very fast but not yet very comfortable.This is my 5th Ferrari to purchase since 2002. I defenently recommend this car.
Seats & speed.
Speedomiter needs to be a tad bigger.

Top Ten Shopping_Tips
- Try terms like coffret, EDP and tester in your search terms
- Decide what strength perfume you want. Eau de parfum (EDP) is the most popular perfume type.
- Know if you are bidding for 5 ml or 50ml. Buying larger sizes is generally a cheaper way of buying perfume per ml than smaller quantities.
- If buying US products, 1.7fl oz is equivalent to 50ml, 3.4fl oz is 100ml etc (isn't metric better!).
- If you are buying perfume as a gift, choose a fragrance your partner already wears or bid for something from the same perfume group. Women's fragrances divide into four groups: fresh fragrances that are zesty, oriental fragrances with warm and spicy tones; woody fragrances with earthy notes like cedar or sandalwood and floral fragrances, the largest group. Men's colognes are divided into fresh, aromatic and woody types. Sellers will tell you what type a fragrance is.
- Know how much you would pay if you bought a perfume in the shops.
- Know whether perfumes advertised as new really are up to the minute. Ralph Lauren's Pure Turquoise is so new you'll have to buy it from an international seller this side of Christmas. Britney Spears' latest perfume is Fantasy; Curious is last season's.
- Sprays are considered the best way to apply a perfume to the body, but they are not the most flexible dispenser. For example, if you want to add scent to the water in your steam iron, a splash bottle is better.
- Body lotions, washes and soaps have the lowest concentration of perfume essence.
- Perfume manufacturers send tester bottles and small samples in vials to retailers for you to try before you buy. These often come up for sale on ebay. Tester bottles may be marked Not for Resale or have different packaging so may not be best for a gift. Samples in vials are given away free in the shops.
Perfume Glossary
- Aftershave - weaker scent than eau de cologne, a lightly scented lotion, gel or balm applied after shaving to soothe and smooth the skin
- Coffret - gift sets usually sold at Christmas time that generally offer better value for a set of items than buying them individually
- Cologne - the French name for the German city of Koln where the first modern perfume, called Eau de Cologne, was produced. The word is used today for men's fragrances
- Eau de Cologne (EDC) - also called cologne, a dilted fragrance with 3 - 5% perfume essence. Lasts for at least two hours
- Eau de Parfum (EDP) - lighter than perfume, EDP has 8 - 15% perfume essence and typically lasts for at least six hours
- Eau de Toilette (EDT) - delicate fragrance with 4 - 8% perfume essence. Lasts for at least three hours
- Fragrance - a perfume's scent
- Notes - the name given to scents present in a perfume. Most perfumes have three notes, a top, middle and bottom note that evaporate one by one
- Perfume (Parfum) - the strongest fragrance available with 15 - 30% perfume essence. Last at least eight hours
- Perfumed soaps, body lotions, body washes etc - products that contain the weakest concentration of perfume essence.

Serves: 4
- 4 Beef eye fillets
- Salt & pepper
- Olive oil
Nettle chimmichurri
- 6 Cups Stinging nettle tips
- 3 Garlic cloves
- 2 tsp. capers
- 2 Tbsp. Fresh oregano
- 2 Tbsp. Fresh coriander
- 1 tsp. Toasted and ground cumin seeds
- 1/2 Cup Avocado oil, infused with lime
- 1/4 Cup Apple cider vinegar
- 2 Tbsp. Maple syrup
- 2 big pinches Salt
- 1 Jalapeno chili
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 25gms Mainland Butter
- 1/4 Cup Hot milk
- 2 Bone marrow halves
- 1 Tbsp. Chives
- 1/2 Lemon zest
- 25gms Mainland Butter
- Salt and pepper
- Remove all sinew from the eye fillet and rub with olive oil and salt and pepper.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, carefully remove the nettle leaves from the spiny stalks using gloves at all times. When the water is boiling, submerge the nettles and blanch for about 1 minute.
- Remove from the water and submerge in ice water to immediately stop the cooking. Once cooled, drain well. Place the drained nettles onto a cutting board along with the garlic, capers, optional jalapeno, and herbs. Chop well until all are well combined. Scoop the green mixture into a bowl then stir in the oil, vinegar, cumin, maple syrup and salt. The mixture should be thick, but oily.
- Let the sauce stand for 20 minutes before serving.
- Make the bone marrow butter by roasting the bones for about 15 minutes at 180 degrees. Scoop out marrow and combine with butter, lemon zest, herbs and salt and pepper. Mould into a cylinder shape and wrap in gladwrap, freeze until required.
- Make the potato puree by boiling potatoes in salted water until cooked. Mash with butter salt and pepper and put through a potato ricer until smooth and creamy.
- Sear the eye fillet in a hot pan on all sides until caramelized. Place in a 180 degree oven for approximately 5-10 minutes or until internal temperature is around 58 degrees.
- To serve, smear the potato puree onto the plate, top with fillet and drizzle with chimmichurri. Cut butter into rounds and place on top of the fillet.

A few months back, one of our shop managers in Ontario reached out to me with a great idea.
She wondered if we could buy books and send them to children in our cocoa farming communities. What a phenomenal idea!
I contacted Cocoa Horizons (one of our Sustainable Cocoa partners on the ground) and they suggested the Sayoubakro Primary School in Sassandra, southern Côte d'Ivoire. The school had recently expanded its classroom capacity, and 1 of the 3 new classrooms had space for a library—which made the school the best place to begin our library initiatives. Sayoubakro is also one of the first schools we helped fund through Purdys' Sustainable Cocoa Program.
The school needed $2500 to purchase government-recommended books, build shelving and cupboards to house the books, and also set up a paper cataloging system.
Our teams in the shops, factory kitchen and support office worked very hard on employee-led fundraising events to raise the money: bake sales, barbecues, bottles drives…it's a long and very amazing list!
In the end, we not only met our goal of $2500 but exceeded it by $1000 for a grand total of $3500.
The money raised went towards the purchase of books and didactic materials (i.e. teaching materials designed to instruct and educate) and built-in shelving units. The school has also set up onsite reading sessions which occur every Wednesday as well as a new loaning system which is monitored by one of the school's teachers.
To me, this really goes to show that no matter who or where we are, we can come together and make a huge difference to someone. I couldn't be prouder of everyone at Purdys who made the library at Sayoubakro possible.

I'm glad we're on the same page!
You arrived at a place that spawns inspiration, strengthens belief in your ideas and inspires you to take action!
After perusing through my portfolio, let's discuss your project or idea. Big or small I have the graphic design, writing and producing skills to make it happen.
I love the creative process – letting go of the reins, letting ideas fly then lassoing the winning concept. Thinking beyond the obvious, challenging all resources, painting the big picture while focusing on the small details – it's stimulating and energizing. Much creativity is captured in my small design studio snuggled within the beautiful, artistic and friendly village of Suttons Bay, Michigan.
Currently I'm working on new Digital Original Artwork. After my debut in Northport at the new Village Arts Building I received exciting responses from both homeowners and commercial businesses. You can see my artwork at the Shoreline Arts Gallery in Suttons Bay or contact me directly.
My new creations will be shown at the Arty Party in Leland Michigan in October 2017. When the event draws near I will post details. Enjoy!
Meeting Kat Dakota is officially the fastest way to find a new friend. The bonus, she's inspiring, creative and a great designer.
Kat's business card simply reads, "Kat Dakota Design". Why?
She explained, "As a designer, I take existing resources, introduce new ideas, new perspectives and create something new that's on target. That can mean – arranging a meeting room, composing shots, creating logos, designing brochures, structuring websites, to writing and editing copy." When asked what she likes most. Without hesitation she smiled and said, "Meeting strangers and ending the conversation as friends."
Her approachable, non-pretentious childlike energy and genuine interest in your success not only makes her hop with excitement but makes her great at what she does.
Her current work features "Digital Original Arts". Her transition away from blending her photography and digital graphics into creating digital brushes and digital painting produces bold dynamic graphic-like fine art which is grabbing attention.

A year after the horrific Delhi gangrape and cinema being blamed for 'falling moral values', we ask Bollywood filmmakers if things have changed for good.
Mindsets are changing, thanks to vigilant media: Mahesh Bhatt, filmmaker
When the rape happened, there was a divide between Bollywood, the media, and the civil society. While one group blamed Bollywood for things going wrong, there was another group that said that you can't trivialise such crimes by blaming everything on the film industry.
They refused to be browbeaten by the sections of the media and the civil society who were trying to put the entire blame on Bollywood.
It forced the film fraternity to think again whether they need to do some introspection. There might not have been any radical change in one year, but to say that nothing ever impacts Bollywood is incorrect. Contrary to perceptions, Bollywood is not made of irresponsible people who are only there to make money. Mindsets are certainly changing, thanks to vigilant media. Now, people think before saying or doing something.
Item numbers in films continue to degrade women: Pritish Nandy, filmmakerBollywood has shown women in both poor as well as excellent light. Films such as Sujata (1959, starring Nutan in the lead) and Khubsoorat (1980, starring Rekha in the lead) have had terrific women protagonists — strong, powerful and inspiring. In the recent past, Chameli (2004, Kareena Kapoor Khan in the lead) and Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi (2003, Chitrangda Singh in the lead) have been around strong women. So to believe that all films objectify women is not true. But, if you judge Bollywood by films such as Grand Masti, then that's not the right measure. Those who want to celebrate the power of women will still do it, and those who want to degrade, will continue to do it... no single incident can change them. It's true that even to this day, there are films that treat women as furniture, but 50-60% of films show women in good light. But if you talk about item songs, yes, if songs are used in an exploitative form, it's bad. However, if one's using item numbers as a tool for greater reach to tell a women empowering story, it's worth it.
Nothing has changed... all that matters is what sells: Onir, filmmaker

Boston Town began their season in exquisite style showing an enticing game beating Leicestershire side Oadby by four goals to two. After an intense summer break for the Boston town squad it all fell down to putting their efforts into practice and to provide an eye-catching performance which they positively accomplished. A superb second half saw the Poachers enter a different class above the opposition who simply couldn't equal the quality shown by the Boston players.
Boston began the game with a side bolstered by the experience of Terry Fleming and Tony Battersby who contributed to a solid defensive and attacking performance by the home side. However it was the youth of the squad who captured the goal scoring opportunities with Wightwick and Eyett both providing a goal each to their name but also an assist.
As the game begun at the DWB Stadium the spirits were high among the players which developed into a fast and intense start to the half from both sides. The sides were at an equal tilt as chances fell to each side but were squandered. There was a close opportunity for Oadby striker Ben Stevens who couldn't capitalize on a through ball and struck wide with a rather tame effort. However Boston kept the majority of possession and made mild chances but similarly couldn't strike the ball home. James Doughty was forced into a fine save in goal for Boston mid way through the first half and dealt with the opportunity well. The Oadby keeper Alex Brown likewise managed to grasp a Wightwick strike after another fine run from the starlet.
Nevertheless Boston finally broke through in the 38th minute with a slip ball through to Alex Beck cutting through the defence before the player reached the by line and played a delicate pass to Jack Wightwick who rounded the goalkeeper Brown with skilful footwork before sliding the ball into the net. Although it didn't take long for an Oadby response as within the space of a few minutes the striker Stephens bundled in a dangerous cross from the right wing silencing the home crowd's celebrations. As the half ended with a failed penalty cry by Oadby players, which saw the captain Joe Latham booked for dissent, both sides appeared on par.
As the second half begun the half time talk by the Poachers' manager appeared to have unlocked a new level of potency in the side. The influence of Terry Fleming solidified the midfield and provided a pivotal role in maintaining possession. It didn't take long before Boston executed from their sudden enhanced pressure as Wightwick, still causing problems down the wing, put in an excellent cross from the left before Alex Beck powered in a bullet header to make the score 2-1. Despite this Oadby yet again replied quickly within two minutes but with a disputed goal; it appeared Hollis was offside and a foul had been committed in the build up but the striker still placed the ball past Doughty much to the displeasure of the Boston players. Despite this the response from the Boston team left their opposition crumbling as the corner count rose from consistent and positive attacking strain on the Oadby defence. In the 62nd minute after numerous corners from the home side, Aaron Eyett floated in a precise corner onto the head of Simon Ashton who powered the ball into the back of the net. The Poachers never really looked back and carried on their dazzling domination of the second half with yet another goal in the 68th minute by Aaron Eyett. A remarkable solo run from just inside the Oadby half saw him trick his way past numerous defenders before rounding the keeper and firing home for a 4-2 score line.
Boston carried out the rest of the game with relative ease and increased the corner count further with Beck causing the opposition defence problems with his strength and determination for the ball. The game came to an end much to the delight of the Boston players and their terrific display of football to open up their season. Hopefully such an admirable exhibition will provoke the start of a top of the table finish for the Poachers and possibly that promotion place that the club so thoroughly desires.

Neodymium Purification 5/10/20155 Solvent extraction, ion exchanger or scavenge are conventional technologies to use; time-consuming and costly. Th(OH) 4 is very insoluble in aqueous (ksp= 10 -39 at 20 o C) solution; only ~10-50M of [Th 4+ ] at pH~4. Solubility of lanthanide hydroxide is >10 orders of magnitude higher than Th(OH) 4. Self-scavenge (lanthanide itself) method can be used to remove Th (and other isotopes) by adjusting pH and filtration This method can be incorporated into the M-LS production system; NO additional chemicals (secondary contamination) or exchange resin are added into the solution A simple, self-controllable method that saves time and cost

A health savings account (HSA) is an individually owned tax-favored account that allows consumers to pay for qualified health care expenses.
A HSA must be coupled with a high-deductible health plan (HDHP) to receive the tax advantages allowed by the IRS. Premiums associated with a HDHP should be lower than a traditional plan, allowing employees to capture the savings to fund an HSA. Similar to a 401(k) savings plan, individuals can make tax-deductible contributions into an HSA and the account can earn interest tax-free. HSA funds can be used for any qualified out-of-pocket medical expense. The most common uses of a HSA are deductible payments and prescription drug expenses. Once the deductible is met, the health plan begins paying some or all covered expenses, depending on the plan selected.
Who is eligible to participate in a HSA?
In general, to be eligible for a HSA you must meet the following criteria:
- You must be covered under a qualified HDHP and not be covered under any other health plan.
- You cannot be enrolled in Medicare.
- You cannot be claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return.
Why choose a HSA?
There are a variety of compelling reasons to choose a HSA, including:
- The funds deposited into a HSA can reduce income taxes, similar to the money that is saved in a qualified retirement plan.
- By combining a HSA with a qualified HDHP, you can reduce your insurance premiums.
- Funds in the HSA grow tax-deferred and the account belongs to account holder for life.
- HSA funds can be withdrawn tax-free to pay for a variety of qualified medical expenses, many of which are not covered by traditional health insurance plans (including dental visits, prescription drugs, eyeglasses, contact lenses and chiropractor visits).
How much can I contribute to a HSA?
The U.S. Treasury Department establishes annual contribution limits and minimum deductible amounts for HSAs and HSA-qualified health plans, which are adjusted each year for inflation. The 2016 limits are as follows:
- The maximum annual HSA contribution for self-only HDHP coverage is $3,350.
- The maximum annual HSA contribution for family HDHP coverage is $6,750.
- Age 55 catch-up contributions will continue to be at $1,000.
- The minimum HDHP deductible is $1,300 for self-only coverage and $2,600 for family coverage.
- The annual maximum for HDHP out-of-pocket expenses (deductibles, co-payments and other amounts) is $6,550 for self-only coverage and $13,100 for family coverage.
