As one year shifts into the next, it is worthwhile to look at two artists who use non-permanence and change as their medium. It may seem strange to make an artwork knowing it may only last a few hours, but that's exactly what happens when you create art on the beach. And we're not talking sandcastles.
Jim Denevan and Andres Amador are just two artists who use sand as their palette and canvas. Their large scale earth works, so large they are only visible from afar, hark back to the sixties tradition of land art, zen meditation and even crop circles, but with a contemporary twist. Andres Amador's Playa Paintings, ranging from 100 to several thousand feet, were all made by raking sand on the beaches around California. "The beach renews itself and there is no clean up involved", he says of his methods. Some have environmental messages, like the Biohazard and Warning signs he made following the oil spill of 2007.
Surfer (and founder of the "Outstanding in the Field" moveable feasts) Jim Denevan has created over 600 drawings in the sand, using sticks and garden tools. He has also exhibited at PS1 MOMA and Headlands Center for the Arts. He recently made the world's largest freehand drawing on a dry lake in Nevada, walking for eight days to draw the 3 mile pattern. Although their art is as temporary as the winds or tides, for both Amador and Denevan it is this fleeting moment that motivates them. So sign up to their newsletters to find out about the next sand action, or it will be gone before you know it.

De réir mar a théann bliain amháin isteach sa bhliain eile, is fiú féachaint ar dhá ealaíontóir a úsáideann neamh-inbhuanaitheacht agus athrú mar a meán. D'fhéadfadh sé a bheith aisteach saothar ealaíne a dhéanamh agus a fhios agat nach mairfidh sé ach cúpla uair an chloig, ach sin go díreach a tharlaíonn nuair a chruthaíonn tú ealaín ar an trá. Agus nílimid ag caint ar chaisleáin gaineamh.
Níl Jim Denevan agus Andres Amador ach dhá ealaíontóir a úsáideann gaineamh mar a bpailéad agus a canvas. A gcuid oibreacha talún ar scála mór, chomh mór nach bhfuil siad le feiceáil ach ó i bhfad, tarraingíonn siad ar ais go dtí traidisiún na seascaidí d'ealaín talún, machnamh Zen agus fiú ciorcail chothaithe, ach le casadh comhaimseartha. Playa Pictiúir Andres Amador, idir 100 agus roinnt míle troigh, rinneadh iad go léir ag greim ar ghaineamh ar na tránna timpeall California. "Tá an trá ag athnuachan é féin agus ní gá é a ghlanadh", a deir sé faoina mhodhanna. Tá teachtaireachtaí comhshaoil ag cuid acu, cosúil leis na comharthaí Bith-chontúirte agus Rabhadh a rinne sé tar éis an sceite ola i 2007.
Tá an surfóir (agus bunaitheoir na féileanna soghluaiste "Outstanding in the Field") Jim Denevan tar éis breis agus 600 líníocht a chruthú sa ghaineamh, ag baint úsáide as bataí agus uirlisí gairdín. Tá taispeántas déanta aige freisin ag PS1 MOMA agus i gColáiste na nEalaíon Headlands. Rinne sé an líníocht saor-láimhe is mó ar domhan le déanaí ar loch tirim i Nevada, ag siúl ar feadh ocht lá chun an patrún 3 mhíle a tharraingt. Cé go bhfuil a gcuid ealaíne chomh sealadach leis na gaotha nó na taibhsí, d'Amadór agus do Denevan is é an nóiméad éagórach seo a spreagann iad. Mar sin sínigh suas lena nuachtlitir chun a fháil amach faoi na gníomhartha saille eile, nó beidh sé imithe sula bhfuil a fhios agat é.

Ethyl alcohol (ethanol) is the most common and familiar compound in the alcohol classification. Ethyl alcohol is used in many industries and for many purposes, including botanical extraction, medical and industrial sterilization, fuel and heating applications, and as feedstock for industrial chemical production.
Isopropyl alcohol is a common solvent, disinfectant, de-icing fluid, and fuel additive. Its availability and flexibility as a solvent make it useful in many industrial and medical applications.
Methanol, sometimes called wood alcohol, is a colorless, flammable liquid most often used as an industrial solvent, fuel additive, or as feed-stock for the production of other useful chemicals like formaldehyde. It is toxic to humans and unsuitable for use in food, healthcare or cosmetics applications.
Glycerin is a clear, sweet, viscous liquid with dozens of food, pharmaceutical, and industrial purposes. Glycerin may be produced from plant or animal fats, or synthesized artificially from hydrocarbons. Industrially-produced glycerin may lack the purity needed for certain medical, food, and health applications. ClearSolv can source and supply extremely pure glycerin for use in any industry that comply to North American and international regulatory standards.

Is é alcól eitíle (etanól) an comhdhúil is coitianta agus is coitianta sa aicmiú alcóil. Úsáidtear alcól eitíle i go leor tionscail agus chun go leor críocha, lena n-áirítear eastóscadh bótainéadach, steiriliú leighis agus tionsclaíoch, feidhmchláir breosla agus téimh, agus mar amhábhar le haghaidh táirgeadh ceimiceach tionsclaíoch.
Is é alcól isopropil tuaslagóir coitianta, díghalrúcháin, sreabhach dí-ice, agus breiseán breosla. Tá a infhaighteacht agus a solúbthacht mar leáiteoir ábalta é a úsáid i go leor feidhmchláir thionsclaíocha agus leighis.
Is leacht neamhdathúil, in-athlasta é meitanól, ar a dtugtar alcól adhmaid uaireanta, a úsáidtear go minic mar leacht tionsclaíoch, mar bhreiseán breosla, nó mar ábhar amh le haghaidh ceimiceáin úsáideacha eile mar fhoirmleadhíde a tháirgeadh. Tá sé tocsaineach do dhaoine agus níl sé oiriúnach le húsáid i mbia, i gcúram sláinte nó in áiseanna cosmaideacha.
Is leacht glan, milis, greamaitheach é glicerine a bhfuil mórán úsáidí bia, cógaisíochta agus tionsclaíocha aige. Is féidir glicerín a tháirgeadh ó shaill phlandaí nó ainmhithe, nó a shintéisiú go saorga ó hidreacarbóin. D'fhéadfadh go mbeadh an íonacht a theastaíonn le haghaidh iarratais leighis, bia agus sláinte áirithe ag an glycerin a tháirgtear go tionsclaíoch. Is féidir le ClearSolv glicerín an-íona a fháil agus a sholáthar le húsáid in aon tionscal a chomhlíonann caighdeáin rialála Mheiriceá Thuaidh agus idirnáisiúnta.


The typical picture of a binge drinker may look as much like a middle-age man working long hours as it does a 20-something partying late at night.
Doctors are increasingly focusing on that older population after years of placing a higher priority on experimenting adolescents and young alcoholics. Evidence is emerging that high-pressure jobs push millions of people toward binge drinking, and deaths from alcohol abuse escalate as people get older.
A new study from 14 countries published in the British Medical Journal found that people who work more than 48 hours a week are more likely to drink to excess – defined as 14 drinks a week for women and more than 21 for men. And the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimated in a report last week that six people die daily from alcohol poisoning, mainly those ages 35 to 65.
“Drinking is a fast and easy way to shake off work. That’s where the problem comes," said Cassandra Okechukwu, an assistant professor at Harvard School of Public Health in Boston. “We have defined it and call it risky alcohol use. We aren’t paying as much attention to that as we pay to the definition of alcoholism. We need to pay more attention."
According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare’s 2013 national drug survey, almost one in five (18.2%) Australians aged 14 or older consumed more than two standard drinks a day on average, exceeding the lifetime risk guidelines. Young adults aged 18–24 were more likely to drink at harmful levels on a single occasion but daily drinking was higher among older Australians.
Numerous studies show regular drinking, as long as it doesn’t turn into a binge, is healthy, especially for the heart. While red wine is generally touted for its health benefits, beer and liquor have also been shown to ward off various medical conditions. Doctors warn against starting to drink or consuming more for the potential health benefits, and point out that excessive consumption can lead to a raft of ailments ranging from cancer to sudden death.
The numbers on excessive drinking don’t make sense right away, and they puzzle researchers. Young people in the US and Australia are still more likely to binge drink – defined as five or more drinks in a few hours for men and four or more for women. People 65 and older who binge drink do it more often than other age groups.
The people dying of alcohol poisoning, however, are middle-aged. Three in four are men, the CDC found.
In a 2012 survey by the agency, 71 per cent of Americans said they’d had a drink in the past year, while about 56 percent had done so in the past month. “There are a small and growing number of people who drink excessively at one sitting, and it’s not clear why," said George Koob, director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.
“We’re seeing a higher number of drinks per individual," he said. “What’s growing is the intensity of drinking in a single bout. We are concerned about that. We haven’t figured out how to address it."
Working long hours may exacerbate the problem. The study in the BMJ found that people who worked 49 to 54 hours a week and 55 hours a week had an increased propensity of 13 per cent and 12 per cent, respectively, for risky drinking.
A glass of wine or a beer or two after the work is a common way to take the edge off after a tough day at the office. The problem is when it morphs into something more. For people who already drank, stress at work or home could lead to an even greater reliance on alcohol, said Sandra Brown, a psychology and psychiatry professor who’s vice chancellor for research at the University of California at San Diego.
“People develop tolerance when they drink regularly," Brown said. “They don’t realize they are drinking more and put themselves in a more dangerous situation."
In the US, alcohol is responsible for 88,000 deaths a year, making it the third-leading cause of preventable death in the country.
For people in their 30s, 40s and 50s, the effects of alcohol can linger much longer than just a nasty hangover. It taxes the liver and the pancreas, and can lead directly to depression.
The damage from drinking could accumulate over a lifetime, with new risk factors appearing in middle age, said Joseph Lee, a medical director at the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation. And while most people who had trouble drinking showed signs when they were young, that was not always the case, he said.
“Just because you went through your college ... days unscathed, it doesn’t mean you have a free pass for the rest of your life," Lee said. “We see a lot of people who always had a risk for addiction that didn’t manifest until something happened, like a promotion to a high-pressure job, a divorce or a death in the family."
Koob said: “When you are young, the pleasurable effects of alcohol are more rewarding and the hangovers are less. As you get older, there is a switch over where the hangovers become more excruciating and the pleasurable effects become less. That’s when the demons come rushing out of the bottle."

D'fhéadfadh an pictiúr tipiciúil de dhuine a ólann go mór a bheith chomh cosúil le fear meánaosta a oibríonn uaireanta fada agus a dhéanann sé le fear 20 bliain d'aois ag féileadh go déanach san oíche.
Tá na dochtúirí ag díriú níos mó ar an daonra sin níos sine tar éis blianta de thosaíocht níos airde a thabhairt do thriail déagóirí agus alcóil óga. Tá fianaise ag teacht chun cinn go gcuireann poist ard-brú ar na milliúin daoine go dtí ól go mór, agus go bhfuil básanna ó mhí-úsáid alcóil ag dul i méid de réir mar a théann daoine in aois.
Fuair staidéar nua ó 14 tír a foilsíodh sa British Medical Journal go bhfuil daoine a oibríonn níos mó ná 48 uair sa tseachtain níos mó seans ann go n-ólfaidh siad go iomarcach - a shainmhínítear mar 14 deoch sa tseachtain do mhná agus níos mó ná 21 d'fhir. Agus mheas na hIonad Stáit Aontaithe um Rialú agus Cosc ar Ghalair i dtuarascáil an tseachtain seo caite go bhfaigheann sé daoine bás go laethúil de bharr nimhiú alcóil, go príomha iad siúd atá idir 35 agus 65 bliain d'aois.
Is bealach tapa agus éasca é ól chun obair a scriosadh. Sin an áit a dtagann an fhadhb", a dúirt Cassandra Okechukwu, ollamh cúnta in Scoil Sláinte Poiblí Harvard i mBostún. Tá sainmhíniú againn air agus glaoimid air mar úsáid alcóil riosca. Nílimid ag tabhairt aird chomh mór sin air agus a thugann muid don sainmhíniú ar alcóil. Ní mór dúinn aird níos mó a thabhairt".
De réir suirbhé náisiúnta drugaí 2013 Institiúid Sláinte agus Leas na hAstráile, chaith beagnach duine as gach cúig (18.2%) de mhuintir na hAstráile atá 14 bliana d'aois nó níos sine níos mó ná dhá dheoch caighdeánach in aghaidh an lae ar an meán, ag dul thar na treoirlínte riosca ar feadh an tsaoil. Bhí daoine fásta óga idir 18 agus 24 bliain d'aois níos mó seans ann go n-ólfadh siad i leibhéil díobhálacha ar ócáid amháin ach bhí an ól laethúil níos airde i measc na hAstráileanna níos sine.
Léiríonn go leor staidéir go bhfuil ól rialta, chomh fada agus nach n-athraíonn sé go binge, sláintiúil, go háirithe don chroí. Cé go bhfuil fíon dearg á rá go ginearálta mar gheall ar a chuid buntáistí sláinte, léiríodh go bhfuil beoir agus deochanna deochanna deochanna freisin chun riocht sláinte éagsúla a chosc. Cuireann dochtúirí rabhadh i gcoinne tosú ag ól nó ag ól níos mó mar gheall ar na buntáistí sláinte a d'fhéadfadh a bheith ann, agus tugann siad le fios gur féidir le ró-úsáid a bheith ina chúis le haill mhór tinnis ó ailse go bás tobann.
Ní dhéanann na figiúirí maidir le ró-ól ciall láithreach, agus bíonn siad ag cur i bhfolach taighdeoirí. Tá daoine óga sna Stáit Aontaithe agus san Astráil fós níos mó seans ann go n-ólfaidh siad deochanna ag an am céanna - sainithe mar chúig nó níos mó deochanna i gceann cúpla uair an chloig do na fir agus ceithre nó níos mó do na mná. Is minic a dhéanann daoine 65 bliain d'aois agus níos sine a ól go mór é ná daoine de ghrúpaí aoise eile.
Is daoine meánaosta iad na daoine a fhaigheann bás de bharr alcóil-bhreithneachta, áfach. Tá triúr as ceathrar fir, fuair an CDC.
I suirbhé 2012 a rinne an ghníomhaireacht, dúirt 71 faoin gcéad de na Meiriceánaigh go raibh deoch acu le bliain anuas, agus rinne thart ar 56 faoin gcéad amhlaidh le mí anuas. 'Tá líon beag agus méadaitheach daoine a ólann go iomarcach ag suí amháin, agus níl sé soiléir cén fáth,' a dúirt George Koob, stiúrthóir an Institiúid Náisiúnta um Mí-Úsáid Alcóil agus Alcóil.
"Tá líon níos airde deochanna in aghaidh an duine á fheiceáil againn", a dúirt sé. Is é an rud atá ag fás ná an déine a ól i gcur i láthair amháin. Tá imní orainn faoi sin. Ní bhfuair muid amach conas dul i ngleic leis".
D'fhéadfadh go gcuirfeadh obair fhada leis an bhfadhb. Fuair an staidéar sa BMJ go raibh claonadh méadaithe de 13 faoin gcéad agus 12 faoin gcéad, faoi seach, ag daoine a d'oibrigh 49 go 54 uair an chloig sa tseachtain agus 55 uair an chloig sa tseachtain, le haghaidh ól riosca.
Is bealach coitianta é gloine fíona nó beoir nó dhó tar éis na hoibre chun an géarchéim a bhaint as tar éis lá crua san oifig. Is é an fhadhb nuair a morphs sé i rud éigin níos mó. I gcás daoine a bhí ag ól cheana féin, d'fhéadfadh strus ag an obair nó sa bhaile a bheith ina chúis le spleáchas níos mó ar alcól, a dúirt Sandra Brown, ollamh síceolaíochta agus síciatraíochta atá ina leas-cheansailéir taighde in Ollscoil California i San Diego.
"Déanann daoine fhulaingt nuair a ólann siad go rialta", a dúirt Brown. Ní thuigeann siad go bhfuil siad ag ól níos mó agus go bhfuil siad ag cur iad féin i staid níos contúirte".
Sna Stáit Aontaithe, tá alcól freagrach as 88,000 bás in aghaidh na bliana, rud a chiallaíonn gurb é an tríú cúis is mó de bhás in-chosainne in Éirinn.
I gcás daoine atá ina 30í, 40í agus 50í, d'fhéadfadh éifeachtaí alcóil a bheith i bhfad níos faide ná ach an t-easpa. Tá sé ag cur trioblóide ar an ae agus ar an pancreas, agus is féidir leis dul go díomá go díreach.
D'fhéadfadh na damáistí a bhaineann le ól a bheith ag cruinniú le linn an tsaoil, agus d'fhéadfadh fachtóirí riosca nua a bheith ag teacht chun cinn i lár na bliana, a dúirt Joseph Lee, stiúrthóir leighis ag Fondúireacht Hazelden Betty Ford. Agus cé go raibh comharthaí ag an chuid is mó de na daoine a raibh deacracht acu le hól nuair a bhí siad óg, ní raibh sé sin mar sin i gcónaí, a dúirt sé.
"Ní chiallaíonn an rud go ndeachaigh tú tríd do chuid laethanta coláiste gan dochar go bhfuil pas saor agat don chuid eile de do shaol", a dúirt Lee. Féachann muid ar go leor daoine a bhí i mbaol um andúil i gcónaí nach raibh i gcontúirt go dtí go ndeachaigh rud éigin i bhfeidhm, mar shampla ardú céime chun post ard-bhrú, colscaradh nó bás sa teaghlach".
Dúirt Koob: Nuair a bhíonn tú óg, bíonn éifeachtaí taitneamhacha alcóil níos luachmhaire agus ní bhíonn an t-easpa alcóil níos lú. De réir mar a théann tú in aois, bíonn athrú ann nuair a bhíonn na hangovers níos mó agus na héifeachtaí taitneamhach níos lú. Is é sin nuair a thagann na deamhain ag rushing amach as an buidéal. "

The Title III program must be concerned with two primary types of project evaluation --internal and external. Both types are required and essential to the success of any project.
A qualified outside specialist conducts the external evaluation; however, project personnel need to know how to prepare for an appropriate external evaluation and insure that the institution receives a competent and thorough job from the external evaluator.
First, it is necessary to examine one of the most difficult tasks of Title III institutions – the creation and implementation of comprehensive and valid systems for project evaluation. Thus, attention must be given to both the concept of evaluation and proven approaches to developing a quality evaluation system.
Evaluation may be defined in numerous ways. The literature is replete with evaluation definitions, models, systems, and procedures. For purposes of this text, three definitions have been extracted merely to focus upon the major basic parameters. These definitions are as follows:
" . . . The determination of the extent to which the desired objectives have been
attained or the amount of movement that has been made in the desired direction."
(Boyle and Johns, 1970)
" . . . The making of judgments about the value, for some purpose, of ideas,
works solutions, methods, materials, etc. It involves the use of criteria as well as
standards for appraising the extent to which particulars are accurate, economical,
or satisfying. The judgments may be either quantitative or qualitative, and the
criteria may be either those determined by the student or those which are given to
him." (Benjamin Bloom, Taxonomy of Educational Objectives)
"A systematic, method, and conscious effort to clarify the goals, objectives, and
purposes of a program or activity; to assess, through rational and valid processes,
the extent to which such ends are being satisfied; and to apply the finds of such
efforts toward the continued improvement of the phenomenon under
consideration." (J. Young, "Evaluation and Its Relation to the Programming
Regardless of how one elects to define evaluation, it should be understood that evaluation (both internal and external) serves several very useful purposes in addition to simply satisfying funding requirements. Program operators should be familiar with all these purposes and try to maximize their evaluation effort by having it serve multiple uses. Some of the purposes served by evaluation include:
1. To supply indices of progress
2. To provide a basis for decision-making
3. To increase motivation and morale of those concerned with the program, curriculum, or activity being evaluated
4. To provide feedback to program participants
5. To assist in setting, refining, clarifying, or revising goals and objectives
6. To provide input into the planning process
7. To contribute to more efficient utilization of resources
8. To provide for a clearer identification of the target population(s) for a program
9. To test the theoretical basis of a program or activity
10. To assess the overall outputs and impacts of a completed program or activity in relation to previously stated goals, objectives, or mission
11. To facilitate the formulation of hypotheses or other bases for further study.
7.1 Internal evaluations
This will be conducted through a process of using the Mid-Year Report and a random selection of activities for a site visit and document review conducted by the Title III Coordinator.
7.2 External evaluation
This will be conducted on an annual basis and administered by and outside consultant. The consultant will conduct a document review to ascertain the progress that has been achieved. This will best be reveal through the accomplishment of measurable goals. Individual meetings will beheld with each Activity Director to dialogue about the progress of the activity goals and to provide feedback on any challenges that are currently being faced.
- Internal audits are coordinated by the Title III Staff Accountant and conducted by the Internal Auditor in the Office of Fiscal Services. Internal audits will be conducted at random and can be conducted comprehensive over the HBCU and HBGI programs or on individual activities. Activity Directors will be notified in advance so that they can prepare requested materials.
- External Audits are coordinated by the Title III Staff Accountant and conducted by a pre-determined Professional Accounting Firm. External audits are program comprehensive and are usually conducted in alternating years. However, they can occur at anytime. All Activity Directors will be notified in advance of an audit.

Ní mór do chlár Teideal III díriú ar dhá phríomhchineál meastóireachta tionscadail - inmheánach agus seachtrach. Tá an dá chineál riachtanach agus riachtanach chun rath aon tionscadail.
Déanann speisialtóir seachtrach cáilithe an meastóireacht sheachtrach; áfach, ní mór do phearsanra an tionscadail a bheith ar an eolas faoi conas ullmhú le haghaidh meastóireacht sheachtrach iomchuí agus a chinntiú go bhfaigheann an institiúid post inniúil agus críochnúil ón meastóir seachtrach.
Ar an gcéad dul síos, ní mór scrúdú a dhéanamh ar cheann de na cúraimí is deacra atá ar institiúidí Teideal III - córas cuimsitheach agus bailí a chruthú agus a chur chun feidhme chun meastóireacht a dhéanamh ar thionscadail. Dá bhrí sin, ní mór aird a thabhairt ar choincheap na meastóireachta agus ar chur chuige cruthaithe chun córas meastóireachta cáilíochta a fhorbairt.
Is féidir meastóireacht a shainmhíniú ar bhealaí éagsúla. Tá an litríocht lán de shainmhínithe, samhlacha, córais agus nósanna imeachta meastóireachta. Chun críocha an téacs seo, tá trí shainmhíniú a tharraingíodh amach chun díriú ar na príomhpharaiméadair bhunúsacha. Is iad seo a leanas na sainmhínithe:
" . . . go deo . . . go deo . Is é an cinneadh a dhéantar a chinneadh an méid a bhfuil na cuspóirí a theastaíonn curtha i gcrích
"Tá an méid a baineadh amach nó an méid gluaiseachta a rinneadh sa treo atá ag teastáil".
(Boyle agus Johns, 1970)
" . . . go deo . . . go deo . An déanamh breithiúnais faoi luach, le haghaidh cuspóir éigin, smaointe,
réitigh oibre, modhanna, ábhair, srl. Baineann sé le critéir a úsáid chomh maith le
caighdeáin chun measúnú a dhéanamh ar an méid a bhfuil sonraí cruinn, eacnamaíoch,
nó a shásamh. Is féidir na breithiúnais a bheith cainníochtúil nó cáilíochtúil, agus is féidir leis an

cuspóirí clár nó gníomhaíochta; chun measúnú a dhéanamh, trí phróisis réasúnacha agus bhailí, ar
an méid a bhfuil na cuspóirí sin á gcomhlíonadh; agus torthaí na gcinntí sin a chur i bhfeidhm
Tá an t-iarracht ag an gCoimisiún, i gcomhréir le hAirteagal 5 (2) den Chonradh ar Fheidhmiú an Aontais Eorpaigh,

Is cuma cén chaoi a roghnaíonn duine meastóireacht a shainiú, ba cheart a thuiscint go bhfuil roinnt cuspóirí an-úsáideacha ag meastóireacht (an taobh istigh agus an taobh amuigh araon) seachas riachtanais chistiúcháin a shásamh go simplí. Ba cheart go mbeadh oibreoirí an chláir ar an eolas faoi na cuspóirí seo go léir agus ba cheart dóibh iarracht a dhéanamh a gcuid iarrachtaí meastóireachta a uasmhéadú trí úsáidí iomadúla a bheith acu. I measc na gcríoch a bhaineann le meastóireacht tá:
1. an t-am a bhí ann. Táscairí dul chun cinn a sholáthar
2. Seachadadh. Bunús a sholáthar do chinnteoireacht
3. Tá an t-am ann. Chun spreagadh agus morál na ndaoine a bhfuil baint acu leis an gclár, an curaclam nó an ghníomhaíocht atá á mheasúnú a mhéadú

Déanfar é seo ar bhonn bliantúil agus déanfaidh comhairleoir seachtrach é a riaradh. Déanfaidh an comhairleoir athbhreithniú ar an doiciméad chun a fháil amach an dul chun cinn a baineadh amach. Is fearr é seo a nochtadh trí spriocanna in-am measartha a bhaint amach. Beidh cruinnithe aonair le gach Stiúrthóir Gníomhaíochta chun díospóireacht a dhéanamh faoi dhul chun cinn na gcuspóirí gníomhaíochta agus chun aiseolas a thabhairt ar aon dúshláin atá á ndíriú faoi láthair.
- Déanann an Cuntasaí Foirne Teideal III iniúchtaí inmheánacha a chomhordú agus déanann an Iniúchóir Inmheánach iad in Oifig na Seirbhísí Fhisceála. Déanfar iniúchtaí inmheánacha go randamach agus is féidir iad a dhéanamh go cuimsitheach thar na cláir HBCU agus HBGI nó ar ghníomhaíochtaí aonair. Cuirfear na Stiúrthóirí Gníomhaíochta ar an eolas roimh ré ionas gur féidir leo na hábhair a iarrtar a ullmhú.
- Déanann an Cuntasaí Foirne Teideal III iniúchadh ar Iniúchtaí Seachtracha agus déanann gnólacht cuntasaíochta gairmiúil réamhchinnithe iad. Is cuimsitheach ar an gclár iad iniúchtaí seachtracha agus de ghnáth déantar iad i mblianta malartacha. Mar sin féin, d'fhéadfadh siad tarlú ag am ar bith. Cuirfear na Stiúrthóirí Gníomhaíochta go léir ar an eolas roimh ré faoi iniúchadh.


The Food Research & Action Center’s report, Afterschool Suppers: A Snapshot of Participation, found that the number of New Jersey children receiving afterschool suppers rose 22.5 percent from October 2017 to October 2018, when more than 24,000 children received a snack or meal on an average day. Only 10 states achieved higher increases.
The number of students receiving afterschool snacks also grew, rising 6 percent during that same time. In October 2018, 43,547 children received afterschool snacks through two federal programs – the National School Lunch Program and the Child and Adult Care Food Program.
“This is great progress and helps fight hunger for children who might otherwise go home to an empty dinner table,’’ said Adele LaTourette, director, Hunger Free New Jersey. “Federal child nutrition programs like afterschool meals give students the nourishment they need to be healthy and succeed in school.’’
LaTourette noted, however, that New Jersey still falls short of serving supper to the FRAC recommended 15 percent of students who receive free or reduced-price school lunch. With a 5.4 supper participation rate, New Jersey was below the national 6.2 average.
If New Jersey reached the recommended 15 percent, communities would collect an additional $19.9 million each year in federal funds for afterschool suppers, according to a September report by Hunger Free New Jersey.
Many school districts continue to serve snacks through the National School Lunch Program, primarily because it is easier to administer since they are already participating through lunch service. FRAC’s report found that 55 percent of New Jersey’s afterschool nutrition is served through the National School Lunch Program.
The problem is, this program does not provide reimbursements for suppers and does not allow meal service on weekends or during school breaks.
The Child and Adult Care Food Program, on the other hand, provides generous reimbursements for snacks and suppers served in both schools and community-based afterschool programs. Those meals can be served on the weekends and during school breaks, under this program.
“We encourage more New Jersey school districts to switch to serving suppers, in addition to snacks,’’ LaTourette said. “For many children, a snack alone will not ward off the hunger they face when struggling families are unable to put dinner on the table every night.’’
Under CACFP, any community with at least half of children qualified to receive free or reduced-price school meals can provide snacks and suppers using federal funds.
“We are leaving so much money on the table that could be used to feed hungry children,’’ LaTourette noted. “It just doesn’t make sense. While it takes some effort to implement the program, once it’s up and running, schools routinely report that serving supper helps address student hunger, which is a major barrier to learning.’’
Child Nutrition Reauthorization, currently being considered by Congress, provides an opportunity to invest in afterschool meals by streamlining the program to allow more New Jersey children to receive this critical nutrition, LaTourette said.
Increasing private and public funding for afterschool programs — including more investment of federal, state, and local dollars — would also help meet the demand for quality afterschool programs, which far outstrips supply in low-income communities, the report found.
In addition to providing good nutrition, afterschool programs also bolster academic achievement, provide safe places for children to play and learn after school and support working parents.
“The nutrition and enrichment activities provided through afterschool programs support both children’s health and learning,” LaTourette said. “We need to bolster that support by increasing the number of programs offering afterschool activities and suppers, and make sure they are affordable and accessible for low-income families.”

Fuair tuarascáil an Ionad Taighde agus Gníomhaíochta Bia, Suíomhanna Tar éis Scoile: Scannán de Chuid, go dtógadh 22.5 faoin gcéad ar líon na leanaí i New Jersey a fhaigheann dinnéir tar éis na scoile ó Dheireadh Fómhair 2017 go Deireadh Fómhair 2018, nuair a fuair níos mó ná 24,000 leanbh greim nó béile ar an meán lá. Ní raibh méadú níos airde ach ag 10 stát.
D'fhás líon na mac léinn a fhaigheann snacks tar éis na scoile freisin, ag ardú 6 faoin gcéad le linn na tréimhse chéanna. I mí Dheireadh Fómhair 2018, fuair 43,547 leanbh greimnéisiam tar éis na scoile trí dhá chlár cónaidhme  an Clár Náisiúnta Lunch Scoile agus an Clár Bia Cúram Leanaí agus Fásta.
Is mór dul chun cinn é seo agus cabhraíonn sé le dul i ngleic le haigneacht do leanaí a d'fhéadfadh dul abhaile ar tábla dinnéir folamh, a dúirt Adele LaTourette, stiúrthóir, Hunger Free New Jersey.  Tugann cláir chothaithe leanaí cónaidhme cosúil le béilí tar éis na scoile an cothú a theastaíonn uathu chun a bheith sláintiúil agus rathúil sa scoil.
Thug LaTourette faoi deara, áfach, nach bhfuil New Jersey fós ag freastal ar dinnéar don FRAC a mhol 15 faoin gcéad de na mic léinn a fhaigheann lóin scoile saor in aisce nó ar phraghas laghdaithe. Le ráta rannpháirtíochta dinnéar 5.4, bhí New Jersey faoi bhun an meán náisiúnta 6.2.
Má shroich New Jersey an 15 faoin gcéad a mholtar, ba cheart do phobail $ 19.9 milliún breise a bhailiú gach bliain i gcistí cónaidhme le haghaidh dinnéar tar éis na scoile, de réir tuairisceán mí Mheán Fómhair ag Hunger Free New Jersey.
Leanann go leor ceantair scoile snacks a sheirbheáil tríd an gClár Náisiúnta Lunch Scoile, go príomha toisc go bhfuil sé níos éasca a riaráil ós rud é go bhfuil siad ag glacadh páirt cheana féin trí sheirbhís lóin. Fuair tuarascáil FRAC go ndéantar 55 faoin gcéad de chothú tar éis na scoile i New Jersey a sheirbheáil tríd an gClár Náisiúnta Lunch Scoile.
Is é an fhadhb ná nach soláthraíonn an clár seo aisíocaíocht do chúlchistí agus nach gceadaíonn sé seirbhís bia ar deireadh seachtaine nó le linn sosanna scoile.
Ar an láimh eile, soláthraíonn an Clár Bia Cúram Leanaí agus Fásta aisíocaíochtaí raidhseacha ar mhiasanna agus dinnéir a sheirbheáiltear sna scoileanna agus ar chláir iar-scoile bunaithe ar phobal. Is féidir na béilí sin a sheirbheáil ar an deireadh seachtaine agus le linn na n-amhrán scoile, faoin gclár seo.
"Cuirimid níos mó ceantair scoileanna i New Jersey chun dul ar aghaidh chun dinnéir a sheirbheáil, chomh maith le snacks", a dúirt LaTourette. Ní bheidh snack amháin ag dul in aghaidh an ocrais a bhíonn ag go leor leanaí nuair nach féidir le teaghlaigh atá ag streachailt dinnéar a chur ar an mbord gach oíche.
Faoin CACFP, is féidir le haon phobal a bhfuil leath ar a laghad dá leanaí cáilithe le béilí scoile saor in aisce nó ar phraghas laghdaithe a fháil snacks agus dinnéir a sholáthar ag baint úsáide as cistí cónaidhme.
Tá an oiread sin airgid á fhágáil againn ar an mbord a d'fhéadfaí a úsáid chun leanaí gortacha a chothú,  a dúirt LaTourette. Ní chuireann sé ciall ar bith. Cé go gcosnaíonn sé roinnt iarrachta an clár a chur i bhfeidhm, nuair a bhíonn sé ar bun agus ag rith, tuairiscíonn scoileanna go rialta go gcuireann dinnéar a sheirbheáil le haigneacht na mac léinn a réiteach, rud a bhfuil ina bhac mór ar fhoghlaim.
Tugann an t-athúthrú cothaithe leanaí, atá á mheas faoi láthair ag an gComhdháil, deis infheistíocht a dhéanamh i béilí tar éis na scoile trí an clár a shruthlú chun ligean do níos mó leanaí i New Jersey an cothaithe ríthábhachtach seo a fháil, a dúirt LaTourette.
D'aimsigh an tuarascáil go mbeadh maoiniú príobháideach agus poiblí níos mó le haghaidh cláir iar-scoile - lena n-áirítear níos mó infheistíochta de chúrsaí cónaidhme, stáit agus áitiúla - ag cabhrú freisin le freastal ar an éileamh ar chláir iar-scoile ardchaighdeáin, a théann i bhfad níos faide ná an soláthar i bpobail íseal-ioncaim.
Chomh maith le cothú maith a sholáthar, cuireann cláir iar-scoile le héifeachtúlacht acadúil, áiteanna sábháilte a chur ar fáil do leanaí chun imirt agus foghlaim tar éis na scoile agus tacú le tuismitheoirí atá ag obair.
Tacaíonn na gníomhaíochtaí cothaithe agus saibhrithe a chuirtear ar fáil trí chláir iar-scoile le sláinte agus foghlaim na leanaí araon,  a dúirt LaTourette. Caithfimid an tacaíocht sin a threisiú trí líon na gclár a chuireann gníomhaíochtaí agus dinnéir iar-scoile ar fáil a mhéadú, agus a chinntiú go bhfuil siad inacmhainne agus inrochtana do theaghlaigh ar ioncam íseal.
Is é an Ionad Taighde agus Gníomhaíochta Bia an príomh-eagraíocht neamhbhrabúis náisiúnta a oibríonn chun ocras agus fo-chothú a bhaineann le bochtaineacht a dhíothú sna Stáit Aontaithe. Chun tuilleadh eolais a fháil, tabhair cuairt ar FRAC.org,

The International Vaccine Institute collaborated with Seoul-based artists, designers, models, and photographer create striking images to raise awareness of neglected diseases. The concept was to use reproductions of the diseases cells painted onto models to attract attention to some of the diseases that affect the lives of millions around the globe. The Deadly Beauty campaign seeks to start a discussion of some of the neglected diseases that strike the poor, particularly children, in developing nations as well as the good work done at the International Vaccine Institute to help by discovering, developing and delivering safe, effective and affordable vaccines for the world’s developing nations.
Enteric FeverAnnual deaths – 216,000 worldwide. Typhoid fever and paratyphoid fever are enteric illnesses that are caused by different strains of bacteria commonly acquired by consumption of food or water contaminated with the feces of an infected person. Enteric fever is common in the developing world, where it affects about 22 million people each year with an estimated 90% of cases occurring in South and Southeast Asia.
EbolaTotal cases: 9,216 and rising (as of October 14, 2014); total deaths – 4,000+ (2014 outbreak). Ebola is a severe acute viral illness that spreads in the community through human-to-human transmission, with infection resulting from direct contact with the blood, secretions, organs or other bodily fluids of infected people, and indirect contact with environments contaminated with such fluids. The case of fatality for Ebola is up to 90%. The 2014 West Africa outbreak is the largest scale and most severe outbreak recorded.
CholeraAnnual deaths – 100,000 to 130,000 worldwide; at risk – 3 to 5 million reported. Children less than the age of five years are at highest risk for getting the disease, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia where the disease burden is greatest. Although the provision and establishment of safe water, food, and sanitation systems continues to be at the root of cholera prevention, these measures can’t be fully implemented in the near future in most areas where cholera is endemic.
Dengue FeverAnnual deaths – 21,000 worldwide; at risk – 3.6 billion. Since the 1970s, dengue has expanded regionally and globally and is now endemic in over 100 countries across the globe. Dengue fever is caused by one of four related, but distinct, virus serotypes (DEN 1-4), which are transmitted to humans by mosquito. Infected humans are the main carriers and multipliers of the virus, serving as a source of the virus for uninfected mosquitoes.
Hepatitis EAnnual deaths – 57,000 worldwide; at risk – 3 million. Hepatitis E is a viral liver infection which is usually self-limiting, but may develop into acute liver failure. The virus is transmitted mainly via the fecal-oral route through the ingestion of contaminated drinking water. The highest numbers of people in a population who test positive for the disease are observed in regions where low standards of sanitation increase the risk for transmission of the virus.
Japanese encephalitisAnnual deaths – 24,000 worldwide; at Risk – 3 billion. Japanese encephalitis is the leading cause of viral encephalitis in Asia. It is a flavivirus, meaning it is related to dengue, yellow fever and West Nile viruses and is transmitted through mosquitoes. There is no cure for the disease. Treatment is focused on relieving severe clinical signs and supporting the patient to overcome the infection. Human vaccination is the most effective control measure.
ShigellosisAnnual deaths – 1 million; at risk – 165 million. Shigellosis is transmitted through direct person-to-person contact, or indirectly through contaminated food or water via the fecal-oral route. Though it does occur in industrialized locations and is known to be the cause of traveler’s sickness, Shigella is the leading cause of severe diarrhea in developing nations and one of the major causes of deaths in children under 5. Currently no vaccine exists for shigellosis causing bacteria. Research shows an increasing prevalence of Shigella strains resistant to antibiotics.
Rota VirusAnnual deaths – 450,000-500,000 worldwide; at risk – 111 million. Rotavirus is extremely contagious and the most common cause of severe gastroenteritis in infants and young children worldwide. Its transmission is primarily through contaminated water and food. The clinical spectrum of rotavirus illness ranges from mild, watery diarrhea of limited duration to severe diarrhea with vomiting and fever that can result in dehydration with shock, electrolyte imbalance, and death.

D'oibrigh an Institiúid Idirnáisiúnta Vacsaín le healaíontóirí, dearthóirí, samhlacha agus grianghrafadóir atá lonnaithe i Seól chun íomhánna suntasacha a chruthú chun feasacht a ardú ar ghalair a ndearnadh faillí orthu. Ba é an coincheap atá ann ná go n-úsáidfí athdhéanamh na gcealla galar a péinteáil ar múnlaí chun aird a tharraingt ar chuid de na galair a théann i bhfeidhm ar shaol na milliúin ar fud na cruinne. Tá an feachtas Deadly Beauty ag iarraidh plé a thosú ar chuid de na galair neamhairdithe a bhuaileann na daoine bochta, go háirithe leanaí, i dtíortha atá i mbéal forbartha chomh maith leis an dea-obair a dhéantar ag an Institiúid Vacsaine Idirnáisiúnta chun cabhrú le vacsaíní sábháilte, éifeachtacha agus inacmhainne a aimsiú, a fhorbairt agus a sheachadadh do na tíortha atá i mbéal forbartha ar domhan.
Fever Enteric:  216,000 básanna bliantúla ar fud an domhain. Is galair intreach iad teip tíofóid agus teip paratyphoid a bhíonn mar thoradh ar shlabhraí baictéir éagsúla a fhaightear go coitianta trí ithe bia nó uisce a thruailliú le feces duine atá ionfhabhtaithe. Tá an teas enteric coitianta sa domhan atá ag forbairt, áit a mbíonn tionchar aige ar thart ar 22 milliún duine gach bliain agus meastar go dtarlaíonn 90% de na cásanna san Áise Theas agus Oirdheisceart.
EbolaCásanna iomlána: 9,216 agus ag ardú (de réir 14 Deireadh Fómhair, 2014); básanna iomlána  4,000+ (briseadh 2014). Is galar víreasach géar é Ebola a scaipeann sa phobal trí tharchur ó dhuine go duine, agus bíonn an t-ionfhabhtú mar thoradh ar theagmháil dhíreach le fuil, secretions, orgáin nó leachtacha coirp eile daoine atá ionfhabhtaithe, agus teagmháil indíreach le timpeallachtaí atá truaillithe le leachtacha den sórt sin. Tá cás na marbhtachta le haghaidh Ebola suas le 90%. Is é ráig 2014 san Afraic Thiar an ráig is mó a taifeadadh agus is tromchúisí.
Colera: básanna bliantúla  100,000 go 130,000 ar fud an domhain; faoi bhagairt  3 go 5 milliún tuairiscíodh. Tá leanaí faoi bhun cúig bliana d'aois i mbaol is airde an galar a fháil, go háirithe san Afraic faoi-Shahárach, san Áise Theas áit a bhfuil an t-ualach galar is mó. Cé go bhfuil soláthar agus cur ar bun uisce sábháilte, bia, agus córais sláintíochta fós mar bhunús le cóireáil cholera, ní féidir na bearta seo a chur i bhfeidhm go hiomlán sa todhchaí in aice láimhe i bhformhór na gceantair ina bhfuil an cholera endemic.
Dengue Fever: básanna bliantúla  21,000 ar fud an domhain; i mbaol  3.6 billiún. Ó na 1970idí, tá dengue leathnaithe go réigiúnach agus go domhanda agus tá sé endemic anois i níos mó ná 100 tír ar fud an domhain. Déantar teas dengue a chur ar bun ag ceann de cheithre seiroitípe víris gaolmhara, ach ar leith (DEN 1-4), a tharchur chuig daoine trí mosquito. Is iad daoine ionfhabhtaithe na príomh-iompróirí agus na moltaí an víris, ag feidhmiú mar fhoinse an víris do mosquitoí neamh-ionfhabhtaithe.
Heipitíteas EBásanna bliantúla  57,000 ar fud an domhain; i mbaol  3 mhilliún. Is ionfhabhtú víreasach ae é Hepatitis E a bhíonn féinchomhshrianúil de ghnáth, ach a d'fhéadfadh dul chun cinn go neamhéifeachtúlacht géarmhíochaine ae. Tá an víreas a tharchur go príomha tríd an mbealach fecal-oral trí uisce óil truaillithe a inghlaim. Tá na líon is airde daoine i bpobal a thástáil dearfach don ghalair i réimsí ina bhfuil caighdeáin íseal sláintíochta ag méadú an riosca le haghaidh tarchur an víris.
Encephalitis Seapánach: básanna bliantúla  24,000 ar fud an domhain; i mbaol  3 billiún. Is é an t-encephalitis Seapánach an príomhchúis le heencephalitis víreasach san Áise. Is flavivíreas é, rud a chiallaíonn go bhfuil baint aige le víris dengue, fiabhras buí agus víris an Nile Thiar agus go dtarchuirtear é trí mosquitoes. Níl aon leigheas ar an ghalair. Tá an cóireáil dírithe ar tharchur comharthaí cliniciúla tromchúiseacha agus ar thacú leis an othar an t-ionfhabhtú a shárú. Is é vacsaínú an duine an beart rialaithe is éifeachtaí.
ShigellosisBásanna bliantúla  1 mhilliún; i mbaol  165 mhilliún. Tarchuirtear shigellosis trí theagmháil dhíreach duine le duine, nó go hindíreach trí bhia nó uisce truaillithe tríd an mbealach fecal-oral. Cé go bhfuil Shigella i láthair i dtíortha tionsclaithe agus go bhfuil a fhios go bhfuil sé ina chúis le galar na dturasóirí, is í Shigella an príomhchúis le diarrhea tromchúiseach i dtíortha atá i mbéal forbartha agus ceann de na cúiseanna móra báis i measc leanaí faoi bhun 5 bliana d'aois. Faoi láthair níl aon vacsaín ann do bhaictéir a chuireann shigellosis ar bun. Léiríonn taighde go bhfuil forleithne ag méadú ar shlabhraí Shigella atá frithsheasmhach i gcoinne antaibheathaigh.
 450,000-500,000 básanna bliantúla ar fud an domhain; i mbaol  111 milliún. Tá an víreas Rota an-choinbhithe agus is é an chúis is coitianta le gastroenteritis throm i leanaí óga agus i leanaí óga ar fud an domhain. Tá an galar seo tar éis tarlú go príomha trí uisce agus bia atá truaillithe. Tá speictream cliniciúil galar rotavíris idir diarrhea éadrom, uisceach ar feadh tréimhse teoranta go diarrhea tromchúiseach le vómáil agus teas a d'fhéadfadh díhiodráitiú le suaitheadh, míchothromú leictrealaithe, agus bás a bheith mar thoradh air.

CNB Teaches Children to Save
ENID, OKLA. – As part of the ABA Education Foundation’s Teach Children to Save program, Central National Bank will talk with Coolidge students on April 18th and Waukomis, Cimarron Montessori, Hayes and Glenwood students on April 24th about the importance of saving. More than 250 local youths will explore the difference between needs and wants, learn how to identify expenses, and decide on financial trade-offs while looking at ways to cut spending.
Established by the American Bankers Association Education Foundation in 1997, Teach Children to Save has reached more than 5 million young people through the commitment of 120,000 plus banker volunteers.
“This program gives us the opportunity to share our life experiences and banking knowledge to motivate students to become lifelong savers,” said Tania Warnock, marketing officer.
Central National Bank offers the following tips for money-savvy parents raising money-smart kids:
- Set the example of a responsible money manager by paying bills on time, being a conscientious spender and an active saver. Children tend to emulate their parents’ personal finance habits.
- Talk openly about money with your kids. Communicate your values and experiences with money. Encourage them to ask you questions, and be prepared to answer them – even the tough ones.
- Explain the difference between needs and wants, the value of saving and budgeting and the consequences of not doing so.
- Open a savings account for your children and take them with you to make deposits, so they can learn how to be hands-on in their money management.
- Let them make mistakes. As they get older, give them responsibility over how they manage their money. When they make mistakes, use it as a teachable moment to discuss the right way to handle money.

CNB Teaches Kids To Save
ENID, OKLA.  Mar chuid de chlár Teach Children to Save de chuid ABA Education Foundation, beidh Banc Náisiúnta na hIonstraime ag caint le mic léinn Coolidge ar an 18 Aibreán agus le mic léinn Waukomis, Cimarron Montessori, Hayes agus Glenwood ar an 24 Aibreán faoi thábhacht na coigilte. Déanfaidh níos mó ná 250 óg áitiúla iniúchadh ar an difríocht idir riachtanais agus mianta, foghlaim conas caiteachas a aithint, agus cinneadh a dhéanamh ar chomhaontaithe airgeadais agus iad ag lorg bealaí chun caiteachas a laghdú.
Bunaithe ag an American Bankers Association Education Foundation i 1997, tá Teach Children to Save tar éis teacht ar níos mó ná 5 mhilliún duine óg trí thiomantas níos mó ná 120,000 bancóir deonacha.
'Tá an clár seo ag tabhairt deis dúinn ár dtaithí ar shaol agus eolas baincéireachta a roinnt chun mic léinn a spreagadh chun a bheith ina sábhálaithe ar feadh an tsaoil,' a dúirt Tania Warnock, oifigeach margaíochta.
Tugann an Banc Náisiúnta Ceannais na leideanna seo a leanas do thuismitheoirí a bhfuil eolas acu ar airgead agus a bhfuil leanaí a bhfuil eolas acu ar airgead acu:
- Tabhair sampla de bhainisteoir airgid freagrach trí bhilleanna a íoc in am, a bheith ina chaiteoir choinsiasach agus ina shábháilí gníomhach. Is gnách go ndéanann leanaí a gcuid tuismitheoirí a mhalairt ar ghnáthamh airgeadais pearsanta.
- Labhair go hoscailte faoi airgead le do pháistí. Cuir do luachanna agus do thaithí in iúl le airgead. Spreag iad ceisteanna a chur ort, agus bí réidh chun iad a fhreagairt - fiú na cinn is deacra.
- Mínigh an difríocht idir riachtanais agus mian, luach na coigiltis agus an bhuiséidithe agus na hiarmhairtí a bhaineann le gan é sin a dhéanamh.
- Cuntas coigilteas a oscailt do do pháistí agus iad a thabhairt leat chun taiscí a dhéanamh, ionas gur féidir leo foghlaim conas a bheith láimhe i mbainistiú a gcuid airgid.
- Lig dóibh botúin a dhéanamh. De réir mar a théann siad in aois, tabhair freagracht dóibh maidir le conas a bhainistíonn siad a gcuid airgid. Nuair a dhéanfaidh siad botúin, bain úsáid as an nóiméad sin mar nóiméad foghlaimeach chun an bealach ceart chun airgead a láimhseáil a phlé.

Voyeurism is the sexual enthusiasm for or routine with regards to keeping an eye on individuals occupied with imply practices, for example, uncovering, sexual action, or different activities typically thought to be of a private nature.
The term originates from the French voir which signifies “to see”. A male voyeur is ordinarily named as “Peeping Tom” or a “Jags”, a term which begins from the Lady Godiva legend. However, that term is normally connected to a male who watches some individual covertly and, for the most part, not in an open place. The American Psychiatric Association has arranged certain voyeuristic dreams, inclinations and standards of conduct as a paraphilia in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-IV) if the individual has followed up on these desires, or the sexual desires or dreams cause stamped trouble or relational difficulty. It is portrayed as a turmoil of sexual inclination in the ICD-10. The DSM-IV characterizes voyeurism as the demonstration of taking a gander at “clueless people, normally outsiders, who are stripped, during the time spent undressing, or taking part in sexual activity”. The analysis would not be given to individuals who encounter regular sexual excitement just by observing nakedness or sexual action. Keeping in mind the end goal to be determined to have voyeuristic turmoil the indications must hold on for more than a half year and the individual being referred to must be beyond 18 years old

Is é an voyeurism an díograis ghnéasach nó an gnáthamh maidir le súil a choinneáil ar dhaoine aonair atá gnóthach le cleachtais implí, mar shampla, nochtadh, gníomh gnéis, nó gníomhaíochtaí éagsúla a mheastar go hiondúil a bheith de chineál príobháideach.
Tagann an téarma ón bhFraincis voir a chiallaíonn  a fheiceáil. De ghnáth tugtar 'Peeping Tom' nó 'Jags' ar voyeur fireann, téarma a thosaíonn ó finscéal Lady Godiva. Mar sin féin, is gnách go gcuirtear an téarma sin i dteagmháil le fear a bhreathnaíonn ar dhuine éigin go rúnda agus, den chuid is mó, ní i láthair phoiblí. Tá roinnt aislingí, claonadh agus caighdeáin iompair voyeuristic socraithe ag an gCumann Síceach Meiriceánach mar paraphilia sa lámhleabhar diagnóise agus staidrimh (DSM-IV) má leanann an duine na mianta seo, nó má bhíonn na mianta nó na aislingí gnéis ina chúis le trioblóid stampáilte nó deacracht caidrimh. Déantar é a léiriú mar chontúirt i dtreo gnéis sa ICD-10. Déanann an DSM-IV an voyeurism a shainaithint mar léiriú ar "daoine gan cluas, daoine amuigh de ghnáth, a bhfuil siad aistrithe, a ghlacadh le linn an ama a chaitear ag éalú, nó ag glacadh páirte i ngníomhaíocht ghnéasach". Ní dhéanfaí an anailís ar dhaoine aonair a bhíonn ag fulaingt ó ghnéas go rialta ach amháin trí na n-óg nó gníomhaíocht ghnéasach a bhreathnú. Ag cuimhneamh ar an sprioc deiridh a chinneadh go bhfuil suaitheadh voyeuristic ní mór na táscairí a bheith ar feadh níos mó ná sé mhí agus ní mór an duine aonair a bhfuil a dtugtar a bheith níos mó ná 18 mbliana d'aois

Personally I wouldn't cut down a single lime tree (unless there were many together). This wood was taken from stool of coppiced Lime. Often there will be such shoots around where large lime trees have fallen. Cut thought the base of the wood as cleanly as possible on a slant.

Interpretive Summary: There is a tremendous need to treat textile wastewaters cost effectively. Most conventional treatment methods remove the dyes that contaminate these wastewaters inefficiently. We previously devised a technology that uses chemically modified biomass (plant residue matter) to remove dyes from wastewater. Now, to make this technology more cost effective, we have developed a method that relies on bacteria to break up the dye and allow the biomass to be used many times. The natural ability of certain bacteria to digest dyes when they lack oxygen was harnessed for the task of cleaning off the dye from the biomass. This new procedure lessens the cost of regenerating the dye-binding capacity of the biomass and minimizes the environmental impact of the process. The technology can be incorporated into certain existing types of wastewater treatment systems. Engineers can use this information in the design of new treatment facilities for textile mills.
Technical Abstract: Cellulosic strong anion exchangers are very effective for decolorizing textile wastewaters. However, the high affinity of dyes for the adsorbent make regeneration with conventional eluants impractical. Previous work demonstrated that chemical reduction of azo dyes bound to cellulosic anion exchangers facilitates adsorbent regeneration. The present study examines whether microbial azo-reductase activity could substitute for inorganic reductants. Anaerobic suspensions of Burkholderia cepacia NRRL B-14803 were tested for their ability to reduce two monoazo dyes, Orange II and hydrolyzed Remazol Red F3B, in a variety of reactor configurations. Inclusion of anthraquinone-2-sulfonate in the reaction medium greatly increased dye reduction rates, as did increased temperature and bacteria concentration. By physically separating the bacteria from the dye adsorbent using a reactor in which the bacteria were confined to a dialysis tube, it was demonstrated that anthraquinone-2-sulfonate mediated the transfer of reducing equivalents from bacteria to adsorbent-bound dye. Furthermore, anaerobic B. cepacia suspensions can drive a large fraction of anthraquinone-2-sulfonate to the reduced state, in the absence of dye, within a 6-hr incubation period. These observations suggested that a spaciotemporal disconnection of the process of adsorbent dye reduction from the azo-reductase activity of bacteria would be feasible. This possibility was confirmed by regenerating an ion exchanger bed with dialysate from a separately housed anaerobic reactor.

Gearrthóg léirmhínithe: Tá gá mhór le fuíolluisce teicstíle a chóireáil ar bhealach costéifeachtach. Tá an chuid is mó de na modhanna cóireála traidisiúnta ag baint na dathanna a chuireann truailliú ar na fuíolluisceanna seo go neamhéifeachtach. D'fhorbair muid teicneolaíocht roimhe sin a úsáideann bithmhais mhodhnaithe go ceimiceach (ábhar iarmhar plandaí) chun dathanna a bhaint as fuíolluisce. Anois, chun an teicneolaíocht seo a dhéanamh níos costéifeachtúla, d'fhorbair muid modh a bhraitheann ar bhaictéir chun an dath a bhriseadh agus a cheadaíonn an bithmhéad a úsáid go minic. Baineadh úsáid as cumas nádúrtha baictéir áirithe dathanna a dhíleá nuair a bhíonn ocsaigin acu chun an datha a ghlanadh as an mbia-mhais. Tá an nós imeachta nua seo ag laghdú costas athghiniúint cumas ceangailteach dath na bithmhaise agus ag íoslaghdú tionchar an phróisis ar an gcomhshaol. Is féidir an teicneolaíocht a ionchorprú i gcineálacha áirithe córais cóireála fuíolluisce atá ann cheana féin. Is féidir le hinnealtóirí an fhaisnéis seo a úsáid i ndearadh áiseanna cóireála nua do mhillianna teicstíle.
Treoir maidir le fuíolluisceanna teicniúla: Tá malartuithe aniúin láidre cellulósacha an-éifeachtach chun fuíolluisceanna teicstíle a dhícholú. Mar sin féin, ní féidir athghiniúint a dhéanamh le heolairí traidisiúnta mar gheall ar an ard-chairdeas atá ag dathanna don adsorbent. Léiríodh i saothair roimhe seo go gcuireann laghdú ceimiceach ar dhruidí azo ceangailte le malartuithe anion cellulósacha athghiniúint adsorbint ar fáil. Sa staidéar seo, scrúdaítear an bhféadfadh gníomhaíocht microbial azo-reductase ionad a chur ar laghdaitheoirí neamhorgánacha. Rinneadh tástáil ar fhionraí anaeróbach Burkholderia cepacia NRRL B-14803 maidir lena gcumas dhá dhia monoazo, Orange II agus Remazol Red F3B hidrealaithe, a laghdú i gcumraíochtaí imoibritheora éagsúla. D'aontaigh an anthrachinon-2-sulfonate sa mheán imoibrithe go mór rátaí laghdaithe datha, mar a rinne méadú ar theochlaíocht agus ar thiúchan baictéir. Trí na baictéir a scaradh go fisiciúil ón adsorbent datha ag baint úsáide as imoibreoir ina raibh na baictéir teoranta do thábla diailís, léiríodh go raibh anthraquinone-2-sulfonate ina idirghabhálaí ar aistriú coibhéisí laghdaithe ó bhaictéir go datha ceangailte le adsorbent. Ina theannta sin, is féidir le fionraí anaeróbach B. cepacia codán mór de anthraquinone-2-sulfonate a thiomáint go dtí an staid laghdaithe, gan dath, laistigh de thréimhse inbhuanaithe 6 uair an chloig. Thug na breathnithe seo le fios go mbeadh sé indéanta dícheangal spáis-amhairc a dhéanamh ar an bpróiseas laghdaithe dath adsorbint ó ghníomhaíocht azo-reductase baictéir. Deimhníodh an fhéidearthacht seo trí leaba malartaithe ian a athghiniúint le diailíséat ó imoibreoir anaeróbach a bhí lonnaithe ar leithligh.


How Excellent Is Your Name
O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth, who have set Your glory above the heavens!
Psalm 8 “is a poetic reflection of the great creation text of Gen. 1” (Nelson's NKJV Study Bible comment on Psalm 8). This verse focuses on the Creator Himself. God’s personal attributes, signified by His name, far surpass the wonders of the physical heavens and the earth. Discovering and thinking about the wonders of the creation should help us see how much more excellent and glorious the Creator is.
We will look at other passages in Psalm 8 in future weeks, but note that the ending echoes the beginning, with praise for God’s excellent name.
For more about using God’s name correctly, see “Third Commandment: You Shall Not Take God’s Name in Vain” and “Praise God.”

Cé chomh uasal is atá do ainm
A THIGHEARNA, ár dTiarna, cé chomh iontach is atá d'ainm ar fud na talún, a chuir do ghlóir os cionn na bhflaitheas.
Is léiriú filíochta é Salm 8 ar an téacs cruthaitheach mór de Gen. 1 (comharradh Béarla-nóthacha NKJV ar Salm 8). Tá an téacs seo dírithe ar an mBreatóir féin. Tá tréithe pearsanta Dé, a léirítear lena ainm, i bhfad níos mó ná na iontais atá sna flaithis agus sa talamh fisiceach. Ba cheart go gcabhródh fionnachtana agus machnamh ar na iontais a bhaineann leis an gcruthú linn a fheiceáil cé chomh mór agus chomh glórmhar is atá an Cruthaitheoir.
Déanaimid féachaint ar thréithe eile i Salm 8 sna seachtainí amach romhainn, ach tabhair faoi deara go bhfuil an deireadh ag teacht le tús an sáma, le moladh don ainm iontach Dé.
Chun tuilleadh a fháil faoi ainm Dé a úsáid i gceart, féach An Tríú Commandment: Ní ghlacfaidh tú ainm Dé ar neamhní agus Lobhad Dé.


Sex hormones are present in both the male and female bodies. While testosterone is the dominant sex hormone in the male body, there is very little estrogen in men.
The opposite is true for women. Even though often considered a female sex hormone, estrogen still has some roles to play in the male body.
As men age, testosterone levels naturally fall into decline, while estrogen levels rise, resulting in a hormonal imbalance.
When the level of estrogen production in men increases too high, it can cause several potential adverse effects.
Several studies have shown that too much estrogen in men can be harmful.
In fact, among men, the consumption of foods that causes an increase in estrogen has even been shown to reduce sperm concentration. Therefore, consuming estrogen blocking foods can help to restore hormone balance.
10 of the best foods to naturally lower estrogen levels include:
- Cruciferous plants, including broccoli, kale
- Sesame seeds
- Green tea
- Red grapes
Men and low testosterone
Testosterone is a male sex hormone (androgen) that is mainly produced in men’s testicles.
The testicles primarily make testosterone in men. Women’s ovaries also produce testosterone, though in much smaller amounts.
Testosterone plays an essential role in men’s health. It is responsible for many bodily functions, including sperm production, sex drive, muscle mass, bone density, facial hair, fat distribution, and red blood cell count.
According to The American Urological Association, a testosterone level of at least 300 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL) is normal for a man. A man with a testosterone level below 300 ng/dL should be diagnosed with low testosterone.
What are the signs of high estrogen in men?
A high level of estrogen in the male body can cause many symptoms to develop. A lot of these symptoms may be associated with other conditions, which do make it difficult for a man to determine what the cause may be.
Recognizing the signs associated with high estrogen in men is the first step to correcting the problem – but to be certain, some tests that can be used to detect the current level of estrogen hormones in the bloodstream.
Common signs and symptoms of high estrogen in the male body may include:
- Problems with fertility
- Hot flashes
- Bone loss
- Low sex drive
- Increase in body fat cells
- Loss of muscle mass
- Mood changes
- Growth of breast tissue (breasts become larger).
- Symptoms commonly associated with erectile dysfunction.
Best estrogen blocking foods for men
While some foods have been found to contain chemicals that act similarly to estrogen in the human body, other foods might help to reduce estrogen in men who have high levels of this hormone in their bodies.
We take a look at some of the best estrogen blocking foods that men should consider adding to their diet for hormonal balance.
Broccoli is a type of cruciferous vegetable that contains several beneficial properties. Other cruciferous vegetables include:
- Bok choy
- Collard greens
This vegetable has been associated with many health advantages, with the most common being the fact that certain chemicals found in broccoli might be useful in fighting against depression naturally.
Broccoli is packed with many useful vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other plant-based chemicals.
A single serving of broccoli gives you a dose of several vitamins, including A, C, E, K, B6, and more. The vegetable is also high in Calcium, Iron, Potassium, Manganese, and Selenium. Additional nutrients include protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and omega-6 fatty acids.
Apart from these nutrients, broccoli is a vegetable high in phytochemicals. These plant-based chemicals may help to block the production of estrogen in the male body. This can help to reduce the level of estrogen that is currently circulating in a man’s body.
Regular consumption of these phytochemicals can also help to bring estrogen levels back into balance in the long run.
Kale has been called one of the healthiest vegetables in the world – and for a good reason. Kale is considered a superfood and contains the majority of the nutrients that the human body needs to stay healthy and functional.
A single cup of kale contains almost three grams’ worth of protein, along with fiber, several important vitamins, and a specific type of omega-3 fatty acid known as Alpha-linolenic acid.
Other nutrients found in kale that gives the plant additional health properties include zeaxanthin and lutein. These have been shown to help fight against the development of both cataracts and macular degeneration, two particularly common eye-related conditions.
Kale is another vegetable that is also high in phytochemicals. These are the same chemicals that go to work to help fight against an increase in estrogen levels as the ones found in broccoli.
3) Flax Seeds
Flax seeds are not only delicious in a variety of foods but are also a rich source of several minerals, protein, isoflavones, and even fatty acids that the human body depends on for its survival. These seeds are relatively easy to find at most health stores, too, and they are not expensive.
A dose of flax seeds contains Alpha-linolenic acid, a specific type of omega-3 fatty acid that has several important functions to play in the body.
Additionally, the antioxidant activity of flax seeds, along with the added nutrients and plant-based chemicals, may help to protect the body from complications like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and possibly even some forms of cancer.
A publication by the Oregon State University5 explains that flax seeds seem to be the richest source of enzymes that are called lignan precursors. A lignan is a type of polyphenol that is found in a variety of plants and can offer the body multiple health benefits.
One of these benefits might be to reduce the production of estrogen among men since lignans themselves can exert certain functions generally associated with estrogen hormones – but without elevating the level of these hormones in the body.
4) Sesame Seeds
Sesame seeds are also a great option when it comes to looking at how certain types of seeds may help men experience a reduction in estrogen.
Similar to flax seeds, sesame seeds also contain lignan precursors, which act similar to estrogens in the human body, but without causing a rise in estrogen hormones.
Apart from being a beneficial estrogen blocker for men who have high estrogen levels in their body, sesame seeds also offer additional health benefits. These seeds are high in fiber. A high fiber diet can contribute greatly to gastrointestinal health as well as to a generally healthy lifestyle.
Other potential benefits of sesame seeds include a possible reduction in triglycerides, as well as cholesterol.
Sesame seeds also offer high-quality plant-based protein. The combination of nutrients found in sesame seeds, along with the natural plant-based chemicals, are also beneficial for supporting bone health and could yield a reduction in blood pressure levels.
While not the most popular fruit in existence, pomegranates actually contain several beneficial nutrients and naturally-occurring chemicals that are helpful to the well-being of the human body.
The antioxidant properties of pomegranates would usually be the first benefit that comes to mind when looking at what the fruit offers the body.
Antioxidants help to fight against free radicals in the human body. Free radicals have been linked to several adverse effects, including inflammation and cancers.
When it comes to estrogen, we need to turn our focus to the phytochemicals that are naturally present in pomegranates.
These are plant-based chemicals found in some of the other foods we have listed already, too – they have anti-estrogen properties. What this essentially means is that by eating more pomegranates, a man might be able to find that the level of estrogen in their blood starts to decline.
Men can choose to eat pomegranates as a fruit, but the benefits can also be obtained from high-quality juices. When looking for pomegranate juice, it is important to ensure that the juice actually contains pomegranate and is not just a flavoring to make it taste like this fruit.
6) Green Tea
Green tea is considered the healthiest drink throughout the world. There are a lot of scientific studies that focus on how the consumption of green tea may be beneficial for the human body.
Green tea contains several compounds that are great for improving human health – including a variety of polyphenols. The polyphenols that are found in green tea may directly impact the enzymes that are known to metabolize estrogen hormones in the human body.
This essentially means that the regular consumption of green tea may help to provide an improvement in the balance of estrogen within the body.
It is very easy to find green tea anywhere in the world today.
For those who do not enjoy the taste of green tea, a variety of flavored options are available. The easiest way to drink green tea is to buy green tea bags, which is simply placed in hot water and then steeped for a couple of minutes.
Green tea is not only great for balancing estrogen in the male body. According to one study6, the consumption of this tea may also be useful for reducing weight, and could also be useful for people with diabetes and atherosclerosis.
7) Whole grain oats
Oats are a type of whole grain that is unprocessed, which means the grain can maintain all of the most important parts that it is made from. These parts generally tend to include bran, germ, and endosperm.
The benefits of oats related to estrogen levels in the human body are actually quite similar to that of seeds, such as sesame seeds. Oats contain phytochemicals, including polyphenols and phytoestrogens.
The polyphenols found in oats may help a man to experience an estrogen-blocking effect. This would prevent their body from converting too many testosterone hormones into estrogen.
The other phytochemicals that are present in oats may help to produce similar effects as estrogen in the body, but without causing levels of the hormone actually to increase.
Apart from the fact that oats may help to balance estrogen levels in men with too much of these hormones in their body, there are other noteworthy benefits of this food as well.
Oats have been shown to cause a decrease in LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol. The food may also help with the regulation of blood sugar, and the fiber content helps a person feel fuller – which is great for weight loss.
8) Red Grapes
Red grapes are another estrogen-blocking food that men should consider consuming more if they find that their estrogen levels are higher than what they should be.
There are actually two different types of chemicals found in red grapes that assist with the blocking of a process in the body that produces estrogens. The first is resveratrol, which is contained in the skin of red grapes.
Resveratrol is actually considered an exceptionally powerful antioxidant, helping the body fight against oxidative stress.
The resveratrol content in red grapes may also assist in fighting against inflammation and provide a reduction in the risk of cancer, heart disease, and several other conditions.
Apart from resveratrol, red grapes also contain proanthocyanidin in their seeds. This is a chemical that has been found to have an inverse reaction on testosterone production among men – which may help to reduce levels of the hormone.
Another great food that men should include in their diet if they are trying to reduce estrogen levels in their bodies is mushrooms.
While most often praised for the fact that the food is rich in vitamin D, certain types of mushrooms may also be helpful tools in preventing a spike in estrogen levels.
The specific types of mushrooms that men need to focus on if they are trying to reduce estrogen levels include:
- Portobello mushrooms
- Baby button mushrooms
- Crimini mushrooms
- Shiitake mushrooms
These mushrooms may help to stop the production of aromatase, a type of enzyme that causes certain hormones in the male body to be converted into estrogen.
Last on our list is turnips, another type of cruciferous vegetable. This particular vegetable is an excellent source of fiber, an indigestible part of the plant that aids in improving the functioning of the digestive system.
Turnips are also rich in several vitamins, including K, C, E, A, and many B vitamins. The vegetable also contains calcium, copper, magnesium, potassium, and other minerals. Additionally, men also gain a dose of protein and omega-3 fatty acids when they consume turnips.
Apart from these beneficial nutrients, turnips are also high in phytochemicals that may assist in blocking the production of estrogens in the body.
What foods should you avoid?
Soy foods: Among women, there has been concern regarding breast cancer risk and soy products. In men, the consumption of soybeans may also cause problems with estrogen levels.
Dairy: cow’s milk is brimming with female hormones, and so consuming dairy can further increase estrogen levels. This leads to increased production of DHT (Di-Hydro-Testosterone). DHT is an active form of testosterone and the increased production of it can irritate the prostate and an increased risk of prostate problems, such as prostate cancer.
While estrogen does seem to play some important roles in men, too much of the hormone can cause side-effects to develop. Men with high estrogen may suffer from erectile dysfunction and infertility, and find that their breast tissue starts to become larger.
Alongside dietary changes, supplements designed to lower estrogen levels can be beneficial. Estro-Clear has been specifically formulated to reduce estrogen levels and restore hormone balance.
This powerful supplement is a clinical strength, proven, all-natural formulation based on peer-reviewed and published clinical research.
Research conducted in 2003 at the AMC Cancer Research Center in Denver has suggested that calcium d-glucarate could be just as effective as one of the most common drugs used to treat estrogen dominance.
The study also noted that calcium-d-glucarate may be as effective in preventing cancer. In another study, calcium d-glucarate was able to reduce the number of estrogen receptor human cells by 48 percent. It’s also been shown to lower serum estrogen levels by 23 percent.
These studies are just one of the reasons we choose to include 985 mg of high quality, pure calcium-d-glucarate in our Estro clear formulation.
Another powerful ingredient we included in our Estro Clear formulation is Diindolylmethane, which has been well studied and shown to have potent effects on estrogen metabolism.
The consumption of the foods that block estrogen, alongside estrogen lowering supplements and regular physical activity, such as weight-bearing exercise, can help reduce existing levels of estrogen in their bodies.

Tá hormóin ghnéas i gcorp na bhfear agus na mban araon. Cé gurb é testosterone an hormóin ghnéasach is mó i gcorp na bhfear, níl ach an-bheag estrogen i bhfear.
Is é an aitear a bhaineann leis na mná. Cé go meastar go minic gur hormóin ghnéasach baineann é, tá roinnt ról ag estrogen fós i gcorp na bhfear.
De réir mar a théann fir in aois, laghdaíonn leibhéil testosterone go nádúrtha, agus méadaíonn leibhéil estrogen, rud a fhágann go bhfuil neamhréireacht hormónach ann.
Nuair a mhéadaíonn leibhéal táirgeadh estrogen i bhfear ró-ard, is féidir go dtarlódh roinnt fo-iarsmaí díobhálacha féideartha.
Léirigh roinnt staidéir gur féidir le ró-eistróin a bheith díobhálach d'fhir.
Go deimhin, i measc na bhfear, tá sé léirithe go laghdaíonn tomhas sperm fiú ag ithe bianna a chuireann méadú ar estrogen. Dá bhrí sin, is féidir le bia a bhacann estrogen a ithe cabhrú le cothromaíocht hormóin a athbhunú.
I measc na 10 bia is fearr chun leibhéil estrogen a ísliú go nádúrtha tá:
- Cruciferous plandaí, lena n-áirítear brocailí, cail
- Síolta seam
- Té glas
- Fíonchaora dearga
Fir agus testosterone íseal
Is hormóin ghnéas fireann (andróin) é testosterone a tháirgtear go príomha i testicles fir.
Is iad na testes a dhéanann testosterone i bhfear go príomha. Táirgeann uibheacha na mban testosterone freisin, cé go bhfuil méideanna i bhfad níos lú ann.
Tá ról ríthábhachtach ag testosterone i sláinte na bhfear. Tá sé freagrach as go leor feidhmeanna coirp, lena n-áirítear táirgeadh sperm, tiomantas gnéis, mais muscle, dlús cnámh, gruaig aghaidh, dáileadh saille, agus líon na gcealla dearga fola.
De réir Chumann Uirolaíochta na Meiriceánach, is gnáth le haghaidh fear leibhéal testosterone de 300 nanogram ar a laghad in aghaidh an deciliter (ng/dL). Ba cheart testosterone íseal a dhiagnóisiú ar fhear a bhfuil leibhéal testosterone aige faoi bhun 300 ng/dL.
Cad iad na comharthaí ar estrogen ard i bhfear?
Is féidir le leibhéal ard estrogen i gcorp an fhir go leor comharthaí a fhorbairt. D'fhéadfadh go mbeadh baint ag go leor de na hairíonna seo le riochtaí eile, rud a fhágann go bhfuil sé deacair ar fhear a chinneadh cad is cúis leis.
Is é an chéad chéim chun an fhadhb a cheartú ná na comharthaí a bhaineann le estrogen ard i bhfear a aithint  ach le bheith cinnte, is féidir roinnt tástálacha a úsáid chun an leibhéal reatha hormóin estrogen sa sruth fola a bhrath.
Is féidir le comharthaí agus comharthaí coitianta estrogens ard i gcorp fireann a bheith ina measc:
- Fadhbanna le torthúlacht
- Taibhsí te
- Caillteanas cnámh
- Iarr ar ghnéas íseal
- Méadú ar chealla saille coirp
- Caillteanas mais muscle
- Athruithe sa mheon
- Fás fíochán na mhadraí (mhadraí a bheith níos mó).
- Síomptóim a bhaineann go coitianta le mífheidhm erectile.
Na bianna is fearr a bhacann estrogen d'fhir
Cé gur aimsíodh go bhfuil ceimiceáin i roinnt bianna a ghníomhaíonn go cosúil le estrogen i gcorp an duine, d'fhéadfadh bianna eile cabhrú le estrogen a laghdú i bhfear a bhfuil leibhéil arda den hormóin seo ina gcorp.
Déanaimid breathnú ar chuid de na bianna is fearr a bhacann estrogen ar chóir do na fir smaoineamh orthu a chur lena n-aiste bia chun cothromaíocht hormónach a bhaint amach.
Is cineál glasraí croiseach é an bhrócaire ina bhfuil roinnt airíonna tairbheacha. I measc glasraí croiseacha eile tá:
- Bok choy
- Gránna collard
Tá baint ag an nglasraí seo le go leor buntáistí sláinte, agus is é an ceann is coitianta ná go bhféadfadh ceimiceáin áirithe a fhaightear i mbróicli a bheith úsáideach chun dul i ngleic le dúlagar go nádúrtha.
Tá go leor vitimíní, mianraí, aimínaigéid agus ceimiceáin eile a thagann ó phlandaí úsáideach sa bhrócaill.
Tugann aon bhrocailí amháin dóthain de roinnt vitimíní duit, lena n-áirítear A, C, E, K, B6 agus níos mó. Tá an glasraí ard i Cailciam, Iarainn, Potaisiam, Manganéis, agus Seilíníam freisin. I measc na gcothaithigh bhreise tá próitéin, aigéid shailleacha omega-3 agus aigéid shailleacha omega-6.
Seachas na cothaithigh seo, is glasraí é brocailí atá ard i fíteachimiceáin. D'fhéadfadh na ceimiceáin seo a thagann ó phlandaí cabhrú le táirgeadh estrogen a bhac i gcorp an fhir. Is féidir leis seo cabhrú le leibhéal an estrogen atá ag scaipeadh i gcomhlacht an fhir a laghdú.
Is féidir le tomhaltas rialta na gceimiceáin phyto seo cabhrú freisin le leibhéil estrogen a thabhairt ar ais go cothrom ar feadh i bhfad.
Tá an kale ar a dtugtar ar cheann de na glasraí is sláintiúla ar domhan  agus ar chúis mhaith. Meastar go bhfuil kale ina superfood agus tá an chuid is mó de na cothaithigh a theastaíonn ó chorp an duine chun fanacht sláintiúil agus feidhmiúil.
Tá beagnach trí ghram de phróitéin i gcúpla cupán amháin de cháil, chomh maith le snáithín, roinnt vitimíní tábhachtacha, agus cineál sonrach aigéad sailleach omega-3 ar a dtugtar aigéad alfa-linolenic.
I measc na n-aiste bia eile a fhaightear i kale a thugann airíonna sláinte breise tá zeaxanthin agus lutein. Tá sé léirithe go gcabhróidh siad le dul i ngleic le forbairt cataract agus díghrádú macúla, dhá riocht a bhaineann go háirithe le súile.
Is glasraí eile é Kale atá ard i fíteachimiceáin freisin. Is iad seo na ceimiceáin chéanna a théann ag obair chun cabhrú le dul i ngleic le méadú ar leibhéil estrogen mar a fhaightear i mbróicli.
3) Síolta Liana
Ní hamháin go bhfuil síolta líne ag cur blas maith ar éagsúlacht bia ach is foinse saibhir iad freisin de roinnt mianraí, próitéin, isoflavones, agus fiú aigéid shailleacha ar a bhfuil an corp daonna ag brath chun maireachtáil. Tá na síolta seo réasúnta éasca le fáil i bhformhór na siopaí sláinte, freisin, agus níl siad daor.
Tá aigéad alfa-linolenic i dáileog de shíolta líona, cineál sonrach aigéad sailleach omega-3 a bhfuil roinnt feidhmeanna tábhachtacha aige sa chorp.
Ina theannta sin, d'fhéadfadh gníomhaíocht frith-ocsaídeach síolta líne, mar aon leis na cothaithigh agus na ceimiceáin phlandaí a chuirtear leis, cabhrú leis an gcomhlacht a chosaint ó choimplíochtaí cosúil le galar croí-aigí, diaibéiteas, agus b'fhéidir fiú roinnt cineálacha ailse.
Míníonn foilseachán ó Ollscoil Stáit Oregon5 gur cosúil gurb iad síolta líona an fhoinse is saibhre de einsímí ar a dtugtar réamhtheachtaí lignan. Is cineál polyphenol é lignan a fhaightear i bplandaí éagsúla agus is féidir leis na buntáistí sláinte iomadúla a thairiscint don chorp.
D'fhéadfadh go mbeadh laghdú ar tháirgeadh estrogen i measc na bhfear ar cheann de na buntáistí sin ós rud é gur féidir le lignans féin feidhmeanna áirithe a bhaineann go ginearálta le hormóin estrogen a fheidhmiú  ach gan leibhéal na n-hormóin seo a ardú sa chorp.
4) Síolta Sesame
Tá síolta seamamam rogha iontach freisin nuair a thagann sé chun féachaint ar conas a d'fhéadfadh cineálacha áirithe síolta cabhrú le fir laghdú ar estrogen a fháil.
Cosúil le síolta líne, tá réamhtheachtaí lignan i síolta sesame freisin, a ghníomhaíonn cosúil le estrogens i gcorp an duine, ach gan ardú ar hormóin estrogen a chur faoi deara.
Chomh maith le bheith ina choscóir estrogen tairbheach d'fhir a bhfuil leibhéil estrogenacha arda ina gcorp, cuireann síolta sesame buntáistí sláinte breise ar fáil freisin. Tá na síolta seo ard i snáithín. Is féidir le bia ard-fiber cur go mór le sláinte gastrointestinal chomh maith le stíl mhaireachtála sláintiúil go ginearálta.
I measc na buntáistí eile a d'fhéadfadh a bheith ag síolta sesame tá laghdú féideartha ar thriglycerides, chomh maith le colesterol.
Tá próitéin phlandach ardchaighdeáin ar fáil i síolta sesame freisin. Tá an meascán de chothaithigh atá le fáil i síolta sesame, mar aon leis na ceimiceáin nádúrtha plandaí, tairbheach freisin chun tacú le sláinte cnámh agus d'fhéadfadh sé go laghdófaí leibhéil brú fola.
Cé nach é an toradh is mó a bhfuil tóir air, tá roinnt cothaithigh tairbheach agus ceimiceáin nádúrtha ann a bhfuil cabhair acu do shláinte an duine.
Is gnách gurb iad na hairíonna frith-ocsaídeacha atá ag pomegranates an chéad tairbhe a thagann chun cuimhne nuair a fhéachann tú ar na torthaí a thairgeann an corp.
Cabhraíonn antaibhéadairí le troid i gcoinne radacailí saor in aisce i gcorp an duine. Tá nasc idir radaicí saor in aisce agus roinnt fo-iarsmaí, lena n-áirítear athlasadh agus ailse.
Maidir le hestrogen, ní mór dúinn díriú ar na fíteachimiceáin atá i láthair go nádúrtha i pomegranates.
Is ceimiceáin phlandaí iad seo a fhaightear i roinnt de na bianna eile a liostáil muid cheana féin, freisin  tá airíonna frith-eistróin acu. Ciallaíonn sé seo go bunúsach go bhféadfadh fear, trí níos mó pomegranates a ithe, a fháil amach go dtosóidh leibhéal an estrogen ina fhuil ag titim.
Is féidir le fir pomegranates a ithe mar thorthaí, ach is féidir na buntáistí a fháil ó shuain ardchaighdeáin freisin. Nuair a bhíonn sú pomegranate á lorg agat, tá sé tábhachtach a chinntiú go bhfuil pomegranate i ndáiríre sa sú agus nach bhfuil sé ach blastach chun blas a chur air mar an toradh seo.
6) Té Glas
Meastar gurb é tae glas an deoch is sláintiúla ar fud an domhain. Tá go leor staidéir eolaíochta ann a dhíríonn ar an gcaoi a bhféadfadh tomhaltas tae glas a bheith tairbheach don chorp daonna.
Tá roinnt comhdhúile sa tae glas atá iontach chun sláinte an duine a fheabhsú  lena n-áirítear éagsúlacht poilifenoil. D'fhéadfadh go mbeadh tionchar díreach ag na poilifenoil atá i dte glas ar na heinsímí a bhfuil a fhios acu go ndéanann siad meitibileacht ar hormóin estrogen i gcorp an duine.
Ciallaíonn sé seo go bunúsach go bhféadfadh tomhaltas rialta tae glas cabhrú le feabhas a chur ar chothromaíocht estrogen sa chorp.
Tá sé an-éasca tae glas a fháil in áit ar bith ar domhan inniu.
I gcás na ndaoine nach dtaitníonn le blas an tae glas, tá roghanna éagsúla blasáilte ar fáil. Is é an bealach is éasca tae glas a ól ná málaí tae glas a cheannach, a chuirtear i uisce te agus a chuirtear i gceann cúpla nóiméad.
Ní amháin go bhfuil tae glas iontach chun estrogen a chothromú i gcorp na bhfear. De réir staidéar amháin6, d'fhéadfadh go mbeadh tomhaltas an tae seo úsáideach freisin chun meáchan a laghdú, agus d'fhéadfadh sé a bheith úsáideach freisin do dhaoine a bhfuil diaibéiteas agus atherosclerosis acu.
7) Oisín gráin iomláin
Is cineál gráin iomlána é an t-oighir nach bhfuil próiseáilte, rud a chiallaíonn gur féidir leis an ngrain na codanna is tábhachtaí go léir a dhéantar é a choinneáil. De ghnáth bíonn na codanna seo ag cuimilt bran, gciorcal, agus endosperm.
Tá na buntáistí a bhaineann le huibheacha a bhaineann le leibhéil estrogen i gcorp an duine i ndáiríre cosúil go leor le síolta, mar shampla síolta sesame. Tá fíteachimiceáin i oisín, lena n-áirítear poilifenoil agus fíteastrógainí.
D'fhéadfadh na poilifínóil atá i oats cabhrú le fear éifeacht bhac estrogen a fháil. Ba cheart go gcuirfeadh sé seo cosc ar a gcorp an iomarca hormóin testosterone a thiontú ina estrogen.
D'fhéadfadh go gcabhródh na fíteachimiceáin eile atá i láthair i oats le héifeachtaí den chineál céanna a tháirgeadh sa chorp, ach gan leibhéil an hormóin a mhéadú i ndáiríre.
Seachas go bhféadfadh oat a bheith ina chabhair chun leibhéil estrogen a chothromú i bhfear a bhfuil an iomarca de na hormóin seo ina gcorp, tá buntáistí suntasacha eile ag an mbia seo freisin.
Tá sé léirithe go gcuireann oats laghdú ar chholesterol LDL agus ar chholesterol iomlán. D'fhéadfadh an bia cabhrú le siúcra fola a rialáil freisin, agus cabhraíonn an t-ábhar snáithín le duine a bheith níos sásúla  atá iontach le haghaidh meáchain caillteanas.
8) Fíonchaora dearga
Is bia eile a chuireann bac ar estrogen iad fíonchaora dearga agus ba cheart do na fir smaoineamh ar níos mó a ithe má fhaigheann siad go bhfuil a leibhéil estrogen níos airde ná mar ba chóir dóibh a bheith.
Go deimhin, tá dhá chineál ceimiceán ann a fhaightear i ndruibheacha dearga a chabhraíonn le próiseas sa chorp a tháirgeann estrogens a bhac. Is é an chéad cheann resveratrol, atá i gcraiceann fíonchaora dearga.
Meastar go bhfuil resveratrol ina antaibheathach an-chumhachtach, ag cabhrú leis an gcomhlacht dul i ngleic le strus ocsaídiúcháin.
D'fhéadfadh go gcabhródh an t-ábhar resveratrol i ndrahraibhe dearga freisin le dul i ngleic le athlasadh agus laghdú a dhéanamh ar an mbaol ailse, galar croí, agus roinnt riochtaí eile.
Seachas resveratrol, tá proanthocyanidin i gcuid síolta fíonchaora dearga freisin. Is ceimiceán é seo a fuarthas go bhfuil frithghníomh aige ar tháirgeadh testosterone i measc fir  a d'fhéadfadh cabhrú le leibhéil an hormón a laghdú.
B'é an fheoil is fearr a d'fhéadfadh a bheith ag na fir dá n-aiste bia má tá siad ag iarraidh leibhéil estrogen a laghdú ina gcorp ná feoil.
Cé go bhfuil an-tóir ar roinnt cineálacha feithidí mar gheall ar an bhfíric go bhfuil vitimín D saibhir sa bhia, d'fhéadfadh siad a bheith ina n-uirlisí cabhrach freisin chun cosc a chur ar ardú na leibhéil estrogen.
I measc na gcineálacha sonracha feithidí a chaithfidh fir díriú orthu má tá siad ag iarraidh leibhéil estrogen a laghdú tá:
- Fonghaile Portobello
- Fonghaillí cnaipe leanbh
- Fonghacha Crimini
- Fongáis Shiitake
D'fhéadfadh na seampún seo cabhrú le stop a chur le táirgeadh aromatase, cineál einsím a chuireann ar hormóin áirithe i gcorp na bhfear a thiontú ina estrogen.
Is é an rud deireanach ar ár liosta ná an turnaip, cineál eile glasraí croise. Is foinse iontach snáithín é an glasraí seo, cuid neamhdhíoltach den phlanda a chabhraíonn le feabhas a chur ar fheidhmiú an chórais díleá.
Tá roinnt vitimíní sa chraobh freisin, lena n-áirítear vitimíní K, C, E, A, agus go leor vitimíní B. Tá cailciam, copar, maignéisiam, potaisiam, agus mianraí eile sa glasraí freisin. Ina theannta sin, faigheann fir dáileog próitéine agus aigéid shailleacha omega-3 freisin nuair a itheann siad turnaipí.
Seachas na cothaithigh tairbheacha seo, tá fíteachimiceáin arda i rannaí a d'fhéadfadh cabhrú le táirgeadh estrogens sa chorp a bhac.
Cad iad na bianna ba chóir duit a sheachaint?
Bianna sóise: I measc na mban, tá imní ann maidir le riosca ailse chíche agus táirgí sóise. I bhfear, d'fhéadfadh go mbeadh fadhbanna le leibhéil estrogen ag tomhaltas soibhianna sóia freisin.
Déiríochta: tá bainne na bó ag teastáil ó hormóin mhná, agus mar sin is féidir le déiríochta bainne a ithe leibhéil estrogen a mhéadú tuilleadh. Mar thoradh air sin, déantar DHT (Di-Hydro-Testosterone) a tháirgeadh níos mó. Is foirm ghníomhach testosterone é DHT agus is féidir leis an táirgeadh méadaithe a dhéanamh a chur ar an próstatach agus riosca méadaithe fadhbanna próstatach, mar shampla ailse próstatach.
Cé gur cosúil go bhfuil ról tábhachtach ag estrogen i bhfear, d'fhéadfadh fo-iarsmaí a bheith mar thoradh ar ró-chuid den hormón. D'fhéadfadh fir a bhfuil estrogen ard acu a bheith ag fulaingt ó dhisfheidhm erectile agus neamhtháirgiúlacht, agus go bhfaighidh siad go dtosaíonn a gcuid fíochán cíche ag éirí níos mó.
Chomh maith le hathruithe ar aiste bia, d'fhéadfadh sé a bheith tairbheach forlíontaí a ceapadh chun leibhéil estrogen a ísliú. Tá Estro- Clear foirmlithe go sonrach chun leibhéil estrogen a laghdú agus cothromaíocht hormónach a athbhunú.
Is foirmliú uile-nádúrtha, cruthaithe, atá bunaithe ar thaighde chliniciúil athbhreithnithe agus foilsithe é an forlíonadh cumhachtach seo.
Tugann taighde a rinneadh i 2003 ag Ionad Taighde Ailse AMC i Denver le fios go bhféadfadh d-glucaráit chailciam a bheith chomh héifeachtach le ceann de na drugaí is coitianta a úsáidtear chun ceannas estrogen a chóireáil.
Thug an staidéar faoi deara freisin go bhféadfadh calcium- d- glucarate a bheith chomh héifeachtach i gcosaint ailse. I staidéar eile, bhí d-glucarate cailciam in ann líon na gcealla daonna a ghlacann le hestrogen a laghdú 48 faoin gcéad. Tá sé léirithe freisin go laghdaíonn sé leibhéil estrogen serum le 23 faoin gcéad.
Níl na staidéir seo ach ceann amháin de na cúiseanna a roghnaigh muid 985 mg de chailciam- d- glúcaráit íon ardchaighdeáin a chur san áireamh inár bhfoirmliú soiléir Estro.
Comhábhar cumhachtach eile a chuireamar san áireamh inár bhfoirmle Estro Clear is é Diindolylmethane, a bhfuil staidéar maith déanta air agus a léirítear go bhfuil éifeachtaí cumhachtacha aige ar mheitibileacht estrogen.
Is féidir le tomhaltas na mbia a bhacann estrogen, in éineacht le forlíontaí a laghdaíonn estrogen agus gníomhaíocht choirp rialta, mar shampla cleachtadh meáchain, cabhrú le leibhéil reatha estrogen a laghdú ina gcorp.
