Organic (in biology/chemistry terms, not in new-agey fad-type terms) = carbon based.

The four basic biological molecules that make up all living things are proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. All of these are carbon based and therefore organic.

Most people are aware of the benefits of organic food, which is food grown without chemical fertilisers or pesticides. Nutrient content is much richer. Although supermarket food looks good, generally, its nutrient content is very poor.

If organic food is good for people, is it also good for dogs?

A resounding YES, is the answer to that...

But!

There's always a but isn't there?

You need to look at the whole picture.

If you are buying the commercial organic dog food, then you really aren't getting what you're paying for.

Why not?

If you look at what goes into commercial dog food, the benefits that the organic origins give to the food are swamped by all the other chemicals.

Let's look at the meat content of dog food first. The source for the bulk of commercial pet food comes from rendering plants. These take the waste from slaughter houses (heads, hooves, intestines, etc), road kill, euthanised pets from vets and zoos and dead animals from farms. If the slaughter house rejects come from some organic farms, that's helpful. But the overall mix is far from organic.

Even if the protein comes from organic waste meat, is that meat certified organic, or has the supplier just put an organic label on the packet to lure in unsuspecting buyers?

So the end product should be certified organic dog food. Not just one ingredient.

Now lets look at the dried food. Meat (or more likely meat by-products, the end product from rendering plants) is kept indefinitely at room temperature. The only way you can do this is by adding a strong preservative.

As there are no laws governing the quality of dog food in most countries, any preservative can be used. Even those considered unfit for consumption. Such as ethoxyquin. And formaldehyde.

Both these preservatives cause huge health problems simply by being in contact with them. Imagine what it does to your dog's health if he consumes them, and on a regular basis.

That alone makes the idea of organic dog food of little importance.

Even when the label on the packet proudly proclaims that no preservatives have been added, they are simply stating that they haven't added preservatives. The rendering plant may have done it for them.

Logic tells you that meat cannot be kept indefinitely at room temperature any other way.

Because the rendering plants boil the 'food' for long periods at high pressures, there is little nutrient content left.

To address this shortfall, isolated and synthetic nutrients are added. Neither humans nor dogs can utilise isolated and synthetic nutrients. These should come from the food, in a complex and balanced form.

I suggest that organic dog food is no different from any other commercial pet food.

Cacti have spines.
Stinging nettles have hairs that contain formic acid, so it's a chemical and not a spine that hurts.

A noun is the part of speech that is used to name or label an abstract idea, a person, place, animal or thing. Nouns are usually some of the first words an infant learns, understands, and uses. There are many different types of nouns, as well as differing uses.

These proceeding sentences contain words in bold, which are all different types of nouns:

Avant-garde is a celebrated type of art.

The onset of summer brought cheer to many.

Computer graduates have good jobs awaiting them.

Was Nietzche an existentialist?

Ella Fitzgerald is one of the most popular jazz singers in history.

As you will have noticed, nouns vary depending on the type and usage. Nouns can be used in sentences as a subject, a subject complement, an indirect object, a direct object, an object complement, an adjective, an adverb, or an appositive. This article shows some of the uses and types of nouns.

Plural Nouns

Many nouns are changed from the singular form into the plural form to suggest a number of two or more with the addition of "s" or "es." Other nouns of the singular form can be turned into the plural form by changing the last letter of the word before affixing "s." There are varied rules for different words. Some words that end in the letter F will be changed into the plural form by erasing the "f" and appending "ves". Words that end in "y" turn into plural by removing of the "y" and the addition of "ies."

Examples:

Rash (singular) - rashes (plural)
Fruit (singular) - fruits (plural)
Story (singular) - stories (plural)
Half (singular) - halves (plural)

Some nouns irregularly form the plural. A speaker or writer who is well-versed in the language will have a good understanding of what these words are. Seek out a dependable reference, such as language websites or a highly regarded dictionary.

Examples:

Criterion (singular) - criteria (plural)

Cactus (singular) - cacti (plural)

Gender in Nouns

Nearly all common nouns, such as "helper" or "student", can be used to label both women and men. In the past, gender would alter the form of lots of nouns, with the addition of "ess," among other suffixes, to the male form of the noun. Due to recognition of gender equality, it is very uncommon for gender-specific nouns to be used in present times. However, some nouns with male and female forms still survive today, primarily in categories that pertain to occupations.

Aside from the types and uses brought up above, there are other types of nouns with differing purposes. If English is your second (or third) language, it is best to familiarize yourself with well-written English literature in order to become more confident in your use of nouns and other parts of speech.

Blossoms become the fruit.

The fruit of Ornamental cherry trees tends to be smaller and less well formed than that of trees grown for fruit production. In fact, many flowering cherry trees are sterile and bear no fruit at all.

Tokyo Tower's Main Observatory and Special Observatory have an outstanding view of Mt. Fuji. The Main Observatory also has a "look-down Window" floored with glass. At 120 to 125 meters above ground, it provides an unforgettable view. Stunning photographs can be taken there. The cafe is a wonderful stop when on vacation in Japan. It combines a landmark structure with a stunning view of Tokyo and a lovely meal.

Late March to early April is when the cherry blossoms bloom in Tokyo. They only bloom for about a week. The blooming of cherry trees represents human life, transience and nobleness. The Japanese people celebrate and cherish the beauty of the cherry blossoms. They are beauty on a tree and graceful as they flutter to the ground. One of the seasonal attractions in Tokyo is seeing the ground carpeted with cherry fallen blossoms.

Any vacation in Japan should include time at Ueno Park. It is one of the bigger attractions in Tokyo. Ueno Park is in the Ueno section of Taito, Tokyo. The park used to be a temple. It was destroyed during the Boshin War sometime between 1868 and 1869. It became "Ueno Imperial Gift Park" in 1924. There are four national museums located in the park. The Tokyo National Museum has traditional Japanese art. The Tokyo National Museum of Modern Art with modern Japanese art. The National Science Museum offers natural history exhibits and interactive scientific experiences. The National Museum of Western Art specializes in art from the Western tradition. The park also has a concert hall. There are also several shrines found in the Ueno Park. The Tosho-gu shrine, the Gojo shrine and the Benzaiten shine at the Shinobazu Pond. The Ueno Zoo is also an enjoyable place to spend time.

There are many places to see when on vacation in Japan. Modern marvels like the Tokyo Tower to the Ueno Park steeped in history and Japanese art.

you're not as funny as you think

Take a hike through a meadow in full bloom and chances are you'll wish you could recreate a smaller version in your own yard. The colors and varieties of flowers and grasses are totally random, yet about as close to landscaped perfection that you'll ever find. Whether you have a large expanse or a small area, a wildflower garden can be a unique addition to your landscaping plan.

The native plants are hardy and once established require little care, fertilizer or watering. In a true wildflower garden, the flowers are planted close together, at least one per square foot of dirt. This allows them to provide shelter for one another, conserve water, and helps to eliminate weeds. The brightly colored flowers attract a variety of birds and butterflies and can provide a taste of wilderness even in the most urban setting,

Once a wildflower garden is fully established, you can sit back and enjoy, but the real effort comes with the soil preparation and maintenance in the first two or three years. Here is a guide to the successful planning and planting of your own wildflower meadow.

Designing Your Garden:

Plant a combination of wildflowers and native grasses. The most common complaint from new gardeners is that the garden bloomed beautifully the first year and proceeded to get sparser in subsequent years, accompanied by a high concentration of weeds. This is often the result of choosing a seed mixture consisting of non-native annuals instead of true native, perennial wildflowers and grasses. With the latter species, you shouldn't expect blooms until the third year.

When choosing plants, use a combination of Spring and late bloomers, as well as a mixture of tall and low growing species.

Flowers that attract birds or butterflies, include Blazing stars, coneflowers, asters, silphiums and sunflowers. If deer are a problem in your area, choose a combination of deer resistant seeds such as lavender hyssop, nodding wild onion, coreopsis, purple clover, purple coneflower and meadow rose.

Choose a sunny location with good air circulation. Your wildflowers will need a minimum of one half day of full sun to really thrive. Steep north-facing slopes tend to be sheltered from the sun and are not the best candidates for meadows, but do well with ferns or woodland wildflowers.

Soil & Site Preparation:

Determine your soil type, adding to it if needed. For instance, a sandy or clay type soil will benefit from added organic matter which breaks up heavy soils, improving ability to absorb water and provides air flow to the roots. The other effective method for improving poor soil is to plant a "green manure crop" such as buckwheat. Let it grow for a year and plow it under. The roots will draw up the nutrients from the lower soil and convert them into organic matter.

In addition to proper growing conditions and good soil, the most important factor in growing a successful wildflower garden is having a smooth, surface, free of weeds. The first step is to remove any existing vegetation is by smothering, cultivating, herbiciding or a combination of these.

On smaller areas, smothering is an effective method of eliminating weeds. Cover the planting area with dark plastic, tarps, old carpeting, plywood or a thick layer of leaves for a complete growing season. Adding a layer of newspaper before covering will enrich the soil even more. As the paper decomposes, worms will move in, adding even more nutrients.

A broad spectrum, non-persistent herbicide will also do the trick, especially on larger areas. The third alternative is to cultivate the area using a rototiller or tractor.

Planting:

Once you have prepared your site, purchase your seeds from a reliable grower. On areas less than one acre, the seeds can be dispersed by hand, by mixing with a lightweight material such as vermiculite, peat moss or sawdust. For a 1000 square foot planting, combine one bushel basket of this material, dampened slightly, with your seed. Take half the mixture and spread across the area. When spreading the second half, walk perpendicular to your first spreading. If the soil is dry, proceed to roll the area. If it is wet, then wait until it dries slightly to avoid compacting the soil.

You apply it like you apply on lotion. You don't need to wash it off at all, it'll work better that way because it'll absorb into the skin more.

They say beauty is only skin deep, but only a woman knows just how true that is. You can be the prettiest thing in the room, but wrinkled, sun damaged skin can certainly bring your appearance down several notches. Skin care moisturizer cream is just the thing you need to help prevent new wrinkles, reduce the appearance of the wrinkles you have, and help heal sun damaged skin. Whether you struggle with dry skin, combination skin, oily skin, acne, or some other type of skin condition, there is a moisturizer that is made just for you. The only challenge is finding the right moisturizer for you and knowing what to look for. It’s all about getting the details right -- what types of moisturizer are best for you and how often to apply them. Luckily for you, we’ve got the scoop on the best moisturizers for your needs.

Water Based Moisturizers are a No-No

When purchasing moisturizer cream, many women simply do not stop and look at the ingredients. Often women are attracted to a pretty box or a pretty jar with a fancy sounding name without realizing that many of the moisturizers out there contain up to 40% water. Other women make the mistake of going with a water based moisturizer, thinking that water is the most natural moisturizer in the world and that it should do wonders for their skin. Strangely enough, that is not the case. Different all natural ingredients, like Aloe Vera, are better suited for a moisturizer for the face, especially for those looking for anti aging or anti wrinkle benefits. It may not seem like it but water based moisturizers are a recipe for disaster when it comes to dry skin. They dry out your skin even more as opposed to adding much needed moisture.

Consider the Benefits of Natural Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera based creams are different and for those who have only used water based products or for those looking for a change in their present moisturizing routine, this is the best and only alternative. A few of the skin care moisturizer cream products even contain essential fatty acids and other ingredients that actually imitate the natural actions and compositions of your skin. These special ingredients work wonders against drying and breakouts, and makes it easier for the ingredients to be absorbed into the skin. Aloe Vera itself is 100 percent natural, coming straight from the plant of the same name and is known for its healing benefits to damaged skin.

How Often is Too Often?

Depending on your skin and its makeup, you never know how much to moisturize until you figure out what is best for you. If you have normal skin, moisturizing once a day should be sufficient, but if you have dry skin or skin with a condition you may want to consider moisturizing twice daily -- once during the morning hours and once before bed.

Be sure to follow the directions that are specified on the back of moisturizer box or jar for best results and remember that not all moisturizers are created equal. Some of them have specific instructions and are designed to treat different skin conditions so be sure to read the label carefully. Some moisturizers have natural oils, vitamins, lipids, and other ingredients that are designed to smooth and beautify your skin. Be warned that chemicals have been added to other moisturizer creams and these should be strictly avoided.

How do you know which is the best skin care moisturizer cream for you? In all reality, there is no "one size fits all." Everyone has a different type of skin and unfortunately there is a bit of trial and error that you must go through. You have to find out the hard way sometimes but often you can take shortcuts by getting recommendations from other women with skin similar to yours. Remember though that just because a particular product works for someone else does not necessarily mean that it will work for you. One thing you can be sure of though is that it is pretty hard to go wrong with an aloe vera based moisturizer. Aloe Vera can heal damaged skin, moisturize, and even provide some anti aging benefits as well. Plus it doesn’t dry out the skin like water based moisturizers do...and it should go without saying that dry skin is much more prone to wrinkles than hydrated, moisturized skin.

The benefits of Aloe Vera are endless and no matter what type of skin you have, you should be able to enjoy the benefits of this all natural ingredient that was discovered more than 3,500 years ago and that is still being used today. An Aloe Vera based moisturizer can help give you healthier, more beautiful skin no matter what kind of skin you have and no matter how much sun damage you have.

Be sure to read the label before buying any moisturizer cream and always, always, always demand an Aloe Vera based moisturizer.

Do you hate fine lines?

Do you hate wrinkles?

Do you hate sun spots?

Do you have old acne scars to get rid of?

Do you want to feel beautiful again?

An Aloe Vera based moisturizer cream just may be the way to go and due to its healing properties, Aloe Vera should be something you look for in any skin care moisturizer cream.

"What is bonsai soil and why is it used for bonsai?
As noted previously, potted trees do not do well in soil that is always wet. Potting soil and top soil are heavy soils that can remain wet for weeks. Bonsai soil is a mixture of ingredients which allows the water to drain freely and at the same time, retain moisture. In addition, the ingredients allow the roots to breathe air and prevent compaction. There are two basic types of bonsai soil -- a conifer mix and a tropical/sub/tropical mix. Before adding any soil mixture, be sure to cover the drainage hole(s) with screening to prevent the soil from washing out of the pot. When re-potting, it is always best to use the soil mixture in its dry state."

I do not know the answer, but I would imagine that the corn seeds need to be ground into corn meal and the whole mixture heated under some rather high pressure. I would think that the amount of pressure required would be too high for a classroom situation. Perhaps a less than optimum pressure could be used and result in an imperfect product, but it could be explained to the students that higher pressure would result in a better product. Also, the amount of oil would be critical, as would be the type of oil.

You can try googling "renewable fiber", with the quote marks. There will be a lot of information to wade through and there is no assurance that you will find the answer. I suspect that the methods are patented and well protected.

Good luck!

Lifestyle factors cause most incidents of heart disease and diseases in the blood circulation, either wholly or partially. Bad lifestyle can cause blood vessels to be narrowed, high blood pressure and inflammatory processes in the circulatory system. These changes will themselves decrease the general condition and tissue health, and can cause more dramatic events like blod clots, heart infarction or stroke.

Here are some simple advices to avoid disease in the heart and blood vessels and to help regain good circulatory health if such disease already is present.

- Do not smoke or use any other types of nicotine sources. Smoking is perhaps the most potent cause of circulatory problems.

- Have some exercises at least every second day that make your heart work harder. Jogging, cycling, playing ball, swimming or other activities where you increase your energy consume are good for your blood circulation. The exercises should however be adjusted to your present health condition.

- Get enough sleep each 24 hours. All the sleep does not however need to occur during night. You can for example take out some of your need for sleep as a siesta in the middle of the day. 7 hours sleep seems to be the ideal for optimal circulatory health. Much more sleep seems to be bad for your blood circulation.

- Avoid a high amount of stress over a longer period. If there is something in your lifestyle or work that makes you stressed, you should make adjustments. Meditation is a good method to stress down.

- Decrease the amount of fat in your diet. Do not add much oil, butter or other types of fat to your food. Do not consume much fast-food or ready made food that often contain great amount of added fat.

-Avoid altogether chemically altered fat, so-called trans-fat. This type of fat is often found in margarine and is often added to many types of cookies. Avoid great amounts of saturated fat, as found in fat milk, fat diary products, coconut products and butter.

- Still you need some fat. The fat you mostly need are mono-unsaturated fat as found in olives, olive oil, rape oil, canola oil and almonds, omga-3-polyunsaturated fat found for example in fish, seafood and flax oil and omga-6-polyunsatyrated found in sunflower oil, soy oil, corn oil, sunflower seeds and many types of nuts.

- Much of the fat you still choose to add to your food should be oils with mono-unsaturated fat like olive oil, rape oil, almond oil or canola oil. Marine oils or flax oil can be added to get enough omega-3-fat. You can also use some soy oil, corn oils and other types of natural oils with a high content of omega-6-fat, but do not use too much of these to avoid over-consuming this type of fat.

- Eat some nuts, almonds or sunflower seeds several times each week, since these food types give you fat valuable for your circulatory health.

- Eat fish at least every second day. Use lean meat, lean poultry, mushrooms, seafood and lean diary products in the food you make.

- Consume a moderate amount of carbohydrates. Avoid adding great amounts of sugar to your food. Avoid consuming much sweet drinks, cookies and snacks with great amounts of sugar and other carbohydrates.

- Use carbohydrate sources that contain fibre and that let the carbohydrates be taken up over some time, for example full corn bread and cereals, beans, peas and fresh fruit.

- Eat vegetables and fruit to each meal in order to get enough vitamins, minerals, fibres and anti-oxidants. They should be raw or only gently cooked so that the content of nutrients is not washed out.

- Consume just a little amount of salt. Do not add great amount of salt to your food or do not eat great amounts of salty food. By hot conditions and by heavy bodily work you will however need some more salt.

- A moderate alcohol consume is good for your blood circulation, especially red wine, but over-drinking has the opposite effect.

- Avoid excessive eating. Eating too much is not good for your blood circulation even though you eat sound food.

- Reduce excessive weight. The advices depicted above will often over time normalize your weight. If this is not enough you should carry through a more specific weight reduction program.

- If you suffer from diabetes, this disease should be well controlled.

- Extra supplements of vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and anti-oxidants may be useful. Vitamin D seems to be especially important for the circulatory health. Marine omegra-3-fat-supplements are often recommended.

- Also some herbal supplements containing adaptogenic factors can be useful, for example supplements based on ginseng or roseroot (Rhodiola rocea). Supplements are especially useful if it is difficult to achieve a wholly satisfactory diet, or you have extra stressful conditions in your life you cannot avoid.

The advices depicted above are not only good for your circulatory health, but will also help to avoid rheumatism, cancer and other types of diseases.
