About Nature Energy
A leader in the green transition and a biogas pioneer
Today, Nature Energy owns and operates 13 biogas plants located throughout Denmark, and owns and operates one plant in the Netherlands while more projects are in the pipeline.
Nature Energy’s biogas plants treated more than 4.7 million tonnes of biomass – waste from agriculture, industry and households – in 2022, converting it into more than 185 million m3 of green gas. That much biogas could be used to fuel almost 8,200 busses driving 30,000 miles per year, or to heat 160,000 homes. All of this is CO2 neutral as well as replacing fossil fuels.
Biogas is circular economy at its best
Nature Energy is market leader in turning these many millon tonnes of biomass into green, CO2 neutral gas as effectively as possible. We collect and deliver biomass from businesses, agriculture and households and return the degassed biomass to the agriculture that recycles nutrients. This is circular economy at its best. At the same time, we always make sure that the surrounding community around our biogas plants remains as undisturbed as possible by transport and odours.
Nature Energy is already making a big difference in the green transition, but our ambitions are even bigger. That is why Nature Energy is investing intensively in research, including our own laboratory at our head office in Odense. The laboratory is a site for research into refining the technology so that we can extract even more energy from biomass and produce even better fertiliser for agriculture. The laboratory is also doing research in new biomasses for production of green, CO2 neutral energy in the future.
Nature Energy’s ambitions to contribute to the green transition together with farmers, businesses and people reaches beyond Denmark’s borders. Over the next few years, Nature Energy will be investing in new large biogas plants in other countries in Europe and North America.


Americans’ obsession with weight control can lead them to embrace diet theories and convert too many of them into conventional wisdom. Alas, when medical researchers put widely accepted notions to scientific testing, they can evaporate faster than a rain drop on a hot summer sidewalk. That’s the potential fate of the idea that when people eat matters as much in weight control as what they consume.
This just isn’t so, according to “a rigorous one-year study in which people followed a low-calorie diet between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. or consumed the same number of calories anytime during the day,” the New York Times reported, noting that so-called timed eating “has failed to find an effect.” The newspaper quoted Dr. Ethan Weiss, a diet researcher at the University of California, San Francisco, who reported this:
“There is no benefit to eating in a narrow window … These results indicate that caloric intake restriction explained most of the beneficial effects seen with the time-restricted eating regimen.”
As the newspaper reported:
“The study, published on [April 20] in the New England Journal of Medicine, was led by researchers at Southern Medical University in Guangzhou, China, and included 139 people with obesity. Women ate 1,200 to 1,500 calories a day, and men consumed 1,500 to 1,800 calories daily. To ensure compliance, participants were required to photograph every bit of food they ate and to keep food diaries. Both groups lost weight — an average of about 14 to 18 pounds — but there was no significant difference in the amounts of weight lost with either diet strategy. There also were no significant differences between the groups in measures of waist circumference, body fat and lean body mass. The scientists also found no differences in such risk factors as blood glucose levels, sensitivity to insulin, blood lipids, or blood pressure … The new study is not the first to test time-restricted eating, but previous studies often were smaller, of shorter duration and without control groups. That research tended to conclude that people lost weight by eating only during a limited period of time during the day.”
The latest study, though, has produced data so convincing that it even has persuaded author Weiss, whom the New York Times reported, “used to be a true believer in time-restricted eating and said that for seven years he had eaten only between noon and 8 p.m.” As the newspaper noted:
“In an interview, Dr. Weiss recalled he could hardly believe the results. He asked the statisticians to analyze the data four times, until they told him further work wouldn’t change the results. ‘I was a devotee,’ he said. ‘This was a hard thing to accept.’”
It is relatively rare for diet and nutrition experts to subject theories and approaches about eating to testing with tough standards. The work has its limits, as does all diet research involving humans due to the many “confounding” factors abounding — all study subjects’ bodily functions can’t, for example, be easily monitored 24/7, they can’t include a starved or deprived control group, and all the myriad, complex factors that affect health and nutrition can’t be controlled.
Further, as experts noted in discussing the time-restricted eating study, individuals respond in different ways to weight-control efforts, the New York Times reported:
“Dr. Christopher Gardner, director of nutrition studies at the Stanford Prevention Research Center, said he wouldn’t be surprised if time-restricted eating … worked on occasion. ‘Almost every type of diet out there works for some people,’ he said. ‘But the take-home supported by this new research is that when subjected to a properly designed and conducted study — scientific investigation — it is not any more helpful than simply reducing daily calorie intake for weight loss and health factors.’”
In my practice, I see the major harms that patients suffer while seeking medical services, and I have come to know all too well how they, and we all, struggle with the toll of excess weight. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 36% of adults and 17% of children in this country are obese, a chronic health bane that contributes to cancers, heart and lung diseases, diabetes, and more.
Big Food — corporate interests raking in huge profits, whether from fast food and chain restaurants or the making and processing of foods or the selling of sugary sodas and other drinks — aren’t keeping your health or mine as their top priority. Their efforts may be helping to make us poorer and sicker. We, instead, all need to eat sensibly and well but in moderation, while also exercising regularly.
That may sound like simple common sense. But, speaking of rigorous research, this approach to diet and nutrition is supported, for example, by an $8-million, year-long study conducted at Stanford University with more than 600 test subjects. The New York Times reported of this study, funded by the National Institutes of Health, the Nutrition Group, and others, that its findings would help debunk some long-held notions about dieting — and some diet fads. Here’s the core of the newly published work’s key findings, according to the newspaper:
“[P]eople who cut back on added sugar, refined grains and highly processed foods while concentrating on eating plenty of vegetables and whole foods — without worrying about counting calories or limiting portion sizes — lost significant amounts of weight over the course of a year. The strategy worked for people whether they followed diets that were mostly low in fat or mostly low in carbohydrates. And their success did not appear to be influenced by their genetics or their insulin-response to carbohydrates, a finding that casts doubt on the increasingly popular idea that different diets should be recommended to people based on their DNA makeup or on their tolerance for carbs or fat.”
That seems like sound guidance, and like the timed-eating information it is derived at least from research. We have much work to do to establish, in rigorous fashion, what works best for us with what we eat to stay healthy.


Stretching Limits Muscle and Joint Strain – Stretching in the correct way can limit the strain on your muscles and joints. It will help your muscles stay flexible and toned. This will ultimately reduce the chance of injury after exercising.
Importance of stretching after workout
- Benefits of stretching. Some research shows that stretching doesn’t reduce muscle soreness after exercise, and other studies show that static stretching performed immediately before a sprint event may slightly worsen performance. Stretching can help improve flexibility, and, consequently, range of motion about your joints.

- 15 Does stretching tone your body?
What happens if I don’t stretch after working out?
You might experience stiffness if you’re not stretching adequately. Muscles and tendons that aren’t stretched properly after exercise may be more susceptible to injury. If you already have an injury the Mayo Clinic advises adjusting your stretching routine.
Should you stretch immediately after a workout?
Should You Stretch After Exercise? This is a great time to stretch. ” Everyone is more flexible after exercise, because you’ve increased the circulation to those muscles and joints and you’ve been moving them,” Millar says. If you do static stretches, you’ll get the most benefit from them now.
Is stretching important before and after a workout?
Why stretching is important Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way.
Why stretching after workout is bad?
Stretching keeps your muscles flexible and able to perform their entire range of motion. If you aren’t flexible enough, your muscles won’t extend to their full length, and you face a greater likelihood of muscle strain, joint pain and injury.
What are 5 benefits of stretching?
Here a few ways that stretching can benefit you and how to do it safely and effectively.
- Stretching improves flexibility.
- Stretching maintains mobility.
- Stretching prevents injury.
- Stretching improves posture.
- Stretching improves sleep and eases anxiety.
Can I exercise without stretching?
Your Body Will Become More Vulnerable to Muscle Pain and Tightness. Without regular stretching, your body gets cold, and your muscles tighten up. Eventually, your muscles will pull on your joints and trigger significant pain and discomfort.
When is stretching most effective?
The best time to stretch is after exercise, when your muscles are warm. True and false: It’s safer to stretch a warm muscle, and warm muscles are more relaxed and have greater range of motion. However, walking briskly or jogging for five minutes, until you break a light sweat, is a sufficient warm-up for stretching.
Does stretching after workout help muscle growth?
In addition to better range of motion, post-workout stretching can actually help prime your body for growth and enable gains. Every muscle is your body is surrounded by fascia, which is a connective tissue that hugs your muscles to stabilize and keep them in place.
Does stretching reduce strength?
Although most studies have found acute decreases in strength following stretching, and that such decreases seem to be more prominent the longer the stretching protocol, the number of exercises and sets, and the duration of each set have, in general, exceeded the ranges normally recommended in the literature.
What is the benefits of stretching?
However, research has shown that stretching can help improve flexibility, and, consequently, the range of motion of your joints. Better flexibility may: Improve your performance in physical activities. Decrease your risk of injuries.
What are 10 benefits of stretching?
- Decreases muscle stiffness and increases range of motion.
- May reduce your risk of injury.
- Helps relieve post-exercise aches and pains.
- Improves posture.
- Helps reduce or manage stress.
- Reduces muscular tension and enhances muscular relaxation.
- Improves mechanical efficiency and overall functional performance.
What are 5 benefits of stretching before exercise?
Here are five benefits that stretching has.
- Stretching can improve posture. Tight muscles can cause poor posture.
- Stretching can improve range of motion and prevents loss of range of motion.
- Stretching can decrease back pain.
- Stretching can help prevent injury.
- Stretching can decrease muscle soreness.
Does stretching count as exercise?
Stretching can definitely help you become a fitter individual. As we’ve previously said, stretching definitely counts as a form of exercising and it can, 100 percent, help you become more fit than you currently are and nudge you in the direction of a healthier lifestyle.
Does stretching make your muscles smaller?
In a recent study conducted at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, athletes generated less force from their leg muscles after static stretching than they did after not stretching at all. Other studies have found that this stretching decreases muscle strength by as much as 30 percent.
Does stretching tone your body?
Yes, stretching can help you tone-up assuming you follow your stretches with strengthening exercises. When a muscle is stretched (and held for 30 seconds) two basic things happen in that muscle. One is the muscle starts to relax and the second is the muscle increases in length (elongates).


Date Presented 04/02/2022
The Child Assessment of Function Eating (CAFE) was designed to provide a comprehensive feeding assessment, with all major components (self-feeding, self-drinking, mealtime behavior, oral-motor skills, sensory food preferences, nutritional intake) in one assessment. This poster will present the normative data obtained from 63 children ages 3-7 years who were evaluated with the CAFE. Data collection included a 3-day food diary, the CAFE form, and a food preference checklist.
Primary Author and Speaker: Donna Wooster
Contributing Authors: Breana Pitts, Shelby Ready, Chandon Hines, Caroline Rentschler, Tori Schroeder
PURPOSE: The purpose of this research is to share the normative sample data obtained on the new Child Assessment of Functional Eating (C.A.F.E.) tool. Feeding and eating is an important self-care skill routine accomplished in young children that is life sustaining. A child’s ability to eat is critical to overall health and wellness, and the daily routines surrounding feeding and eating play an integral role in emotional development, social interaction, and cultural understanding. As many as 50% of parents indicate that typically developing infants and young children may have a feeding problem (Miller, 2009) and up to 80% of children with known developmental delays have feeding difficulties (Phalen, 2013). Parental and pediatrician concerns lead to referrals for feeding evaluations to make sure we address the needs of the child as early as possible to minimize potential growth failures or nutritional deficiencies. Occupational therapy practitioners are uniquely positioned to assess and treat difficulties associated with feeding because of our holistic perspective of recognizing and assessing not only the physiological factors but also the psychosocial, cultural, and environmental factors involved with these aspects of daily performance (American Occupational Therapy Association, 2017). Occupational Therapists have a wide variety of feeding assessment tools available, but most are focused on assessment of only one aspect of feeding. Each child’s feeding issues vary due to their diagnosis, symptoms, behaviors, and preferences. Children often have deficits in multiple aspects related to feeding (motor, sensory, environmental, cognitive, etc.) that must be identified to determine the appropriate plan of care.
DESIGN: This research was designed to obtain normative sample scores on the C.A.F.E. The Child Assessment of Functional Eating (C.A.F.E.) was designed to measure mealtime feeding deficits in children, 3 to 7 years old, with ease and sensitivity to change. The C.A.F.E. consists of six subtests that include self-feeding, self-drinking, mealtime behaviors, oral motor skills, sensory food preferences, and nutritional food intake. Each subtest is scored individually and then an overall total scores is calculated. The design allows OTs to later administer the entire tool again or to administer just selected subtests as a way to show progress and developmental progression with age.
METHOD: Children with typical development and no known feeding disorders between the ages of 3 and 7 were recruited for participation on this research. IRB approval was obtained. Written parent consent was obtain. Child assent was obtained for each participant.
RESULTS: This research presents the scores on the C.A.F.E. from 63 typically developing children, 3 to 7 years of age. Results are presented per each of the five age groups and on each of the six subtests, as well as, the overall total score.
CONCLUSION: The results indicate that the C.A.F.E was able to show a clear age progression normative score on five out of six subtests. The five subtests present with data to promote the use of this tool as a way to determine feeding delays in children between the ages of 3 and 7 years. The C.A.F.E. is an easy to administer standard assessment of feeding that can be utilized to determine feeding deficits and allows OTs to prioritizing feeding needs and design a customized evidence-based feeding intervention plan to address these needs. The C.A.F.E. provides a standardized assessment to analyze feeding abilities comprehensively.

Wondering if the damage on your property might be the result of termites? The pest control experts at Griffin Pest Solutions are here to help!
Understanding the telltale signs of termite damage is crucial for Michigan homeowners and property managers. Termites are silent invaders, and their destructive habits can go unnoticed until significant damage has occurred. Below, we’ll explore the various indicators of termite infestations and what termite damage looks like. By becoming familiar with these signs, you can take proactive measures to protect your home and assets from the costly consequences of termite infestations.
How to Identify Termite Damaged Wood
Termite damage can vary in appearance depending on the type of termite and the extent of the infestation. Here are some common signs and what termite damage may look like:
- Wood Damage: Termites primarily feed on wood, and one of the most common signs of termites is damaged or hollowed-out wood. You may notice that wooden structures, such as beams, furniture, or flooring, appear damaged or weakened. Termites often consume wood from the inside, leaving a thin outer layer intact, which can make the damage hard to detect.
- Mud Tubes: Subterranean termites, which are common in many regions, including the United States, build mud tubes. These pencil-sized, mud-colored tubes run along the surface of walls, foundations, or other structures and provide protection for the termites as they move between their nest and their food source.
- Swarmers: Termite swarmers, also known as “alates” or “winged termites,” are reproductive termites that emerge from mature colonies to establish new ones. Seeing swarmers indoors or finding discarded wings can be an indication of a nearby termite colony.
- Frass or Droppings: Drywood termites push out their feces, which can look like tiny pellets or sawdust. Finding these pellets or “frass” near termite entry points is a sign of their presence.
- Blisters in Wood: Termites may create small blisters or bulges on the surface of painted or finished wood. These blisters can indicate termite activity beneath the surface.
- Damaged Paper or Cardboard: Termites are known to feed on paper and cardboard, so you might find damaged documents, books, or cardboard boxes in areas where termites are present.
- Tunnels or Galleries: Subterranean termites create tunnels or galleries within wood, often lined with mud, which can be visible if the wood is broken open.
It’s important to note that termite damage can often go unnoticed until it becomes extensive. Regular termite inspections by a pest control professional are crucial for early detection and prevention of significant damage. If you suspect termite activity in your home, it’s advisable to consult with a pest control expert for a thorough inspection and appropriate treatment.

The Beginning Signs of Termite Damage
Early detection of termite activity is crucial for effective pest management and minimizing potential damage. Here are a few things to keep an eye out for:
- Discarded Wings: Termite swarmers, the reproductive members of the colony, may shed their wings after swarming to establish new colonies. Finding discarded wings around windowsills, doors, or in spider webs can indicate nearby termite activity.
- Blistering or Bubbling Paint: Termites can create small blisters or bulges on painted or finished wood surfaces. These imperfections can be early indicators of termite activity beneath the surface.
- Small Holes in Drywall: Termite damage may lead to small holes or punctures in drywall, and these areas may appear like pinpricks.
- Sagging or Buckling Floors: If your wooden floors begin to sag or buckle, it may be a sign of termite damage weakening the structural support.
- Clicking Sounds: Some termite species make clicking or rattling sounds when disturbed. You may hear these noises if you tap on or disturb a termite-infested area.
How to Prevent Termite Damage
Preventing termite damage is often more cost-effective and less troublesome than dealing with infestations after they’ve occurred. Here are essential steps to help protect your property from termite damage:
- Regular Inspections: Schedule routine termite inspections by a pest control professional. Professionals can detect early signs of termite activity and recommend necessary preventive measures.
- Termite Barriers: Install physical termite barriers, such as termite shields or chemical barriers, around the foundation of your home. These barriers create a deterrent that can help keep termites at bay.
- Foundation Maintenance: Keep your home’s foundation clear of soil and vegetation. Ensure that the ground slopes away from the foundation to prevent water from pooling near the structure, as excess moisture attracts termites.
- Proper Ventilation: Maintain good ventilation in crawl spaces and basements to reduce humidity levels, as termites are drawn to moisture. Consider using dehumidifiers if necessary.
- Wood Selection: When building or renovating, use termite-resistant wood, such as pressure-treated lumber. This wood is less appealing to termites and can help reduce the risk of infestation.
- Regular Maintenance: Keep your property well-maintained, addressing issues like leaky pipes, damaged roofs, and faulty gutters promptly. Fixing these problems reduces potential entry points for termites.
- Remove Termite Food Sources: Discourage termites by storing firewood, lumber, and wood debris away from your home. Additionally, clear away dead or decaying trees and stumps that can attract termites.
- Close Gaps and Cracks: Seal gaps or cracks in your home’s exterior, such as around windows, doors, and utility lines. Termites can exploit even tiny openings to gain access.
- Professional Pest Control: Consider ongoing termite control services from experts like Griffin Pest Solutions to create a protective barrier against termite infestations. Regular treatments and monitoring can be a proactive defense.
How to Fix Termite Damage
Fixing termite damage may require a combination of DIY efforts and professional assistance.
If your property has termite damage, it’s understandable that you would want to get that fixed right away. But before you begin tackling home repairs, you need to eliminate the existing infestation and establish a plan to prevent future ones as well. The best way to do this is by reaching out to your local pest control experts. It’s important to act promptly in order to prevent further deterioration of your home’s structure.

AUSTIN, Texas, June 15 /PRNewswire/ — Summer is the season of outdoor activities – running, swimming, soccer and enjoying everything the outdoors has to offer. Coincidentally, it is also ice-cream-truck-and-cotton-candy-at-the-fair season.
To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click: http://multivu.prnewswire.com/mnr/texasbeef/44074/
With the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reporting that 28 percent of Texans are obese and that childhood obesity rates have tripled in the last 30 years, this summer junk-food-jubilee can be a dangerous time for your family’s health. Now is the time for parents to mold a healthy diet for the whole family.
Registered Dietician Martha Cortez McHenry advises parents to create a summer menu based on a protein-rich diet. Current research suggests that packing meals with high-quality, lean proteins may be the first step in maintaining a healthy weight. Filling plates with fruits and vegetables, low- and non-fat dairy products, whole grains and lean protein supplies important vitamins and minerals the body needs. Lean beef is a familiar, high-quality lean protein that kids enjoy. An added bonus: it contains 10 essential nutrients and is the number one food source of B12, zinc and, most importantly, protein, McHenry says.
“Protein can help all of us maintain a healthy weight, build muscle and fuel physical activity, all of which play an important role in a healthful lifestyle,” McHenry said. “It is especially important for children to have a protein-rich diet, as their bodies are developing; and they need anti-bodies, which consist of protein, to bounce back from injury and illness.”
High-quality, complete proteins like lean beef provide the right amounts of essential amino acids, or “building blocks,” the body needs to grow and maintain muscle; so everyday function depends on sufficient protein intake, McHenry says. Lean proteins also provide the energy needed to maintain the level of physical activity necessary for maintaining weight.
Including protein foods in your family’s diet will also help keep them full because it has more staying power than carbohydrates and fats, according to a 2007 study by the Journal of Nutrition.
With these proven benefits, McHenry is working to dispel the misconception that protein foods, like beef, are unhealthy and full of fat. In reality, a 3-ounce serving of lean beef has, on average, only one gram more of saturated fat than a skinless chicken breast. In fact, 29 cuts of beef meet the federal standards for “lean,” and all of these cuts weigh in at 175 calories or less with fewer than 10 grams of fat for a 3-ounce serving. In addition, more than 50 percent of beef’s fats are monounsaturated — the same heart healthy fats found in olive oil.
To start building a healthy family lifestyle, keep these protein tips in mind:
— When planning a day trip, pack lunches made with peanut butter, tuna (in water) and string cheese.
— Stock your pantry with snacks like nuts, whole grain crackers and beef jerky.
— When shopping for dinner items, choose the leanest cuts of beef with “loin” or “round” in the name; and choose ground beef that is at least 90 percent lean.
— Use low-fat cooking methods, such as broiling, roasting or the summer favorite, grilling.
— Serve the recommended 3-ounce portion size for meats — the size of a deck of cards or a computer mouse.

Libido or sexual desire can decrease due to various things, from stress to certain medical conditions. If you or your partner often experience it, there are several types of exercise to increase libido and increase satisfaction during sex.
Everyone's libido level can be different. However, there are several conditions that can cause a person's sexual desire to decrease, ranging from problems with a partner, severe stress, fatigue, pregnancy, menopause, to certain health problems, such as diabetes, hormonal disorders, and cancer.
Benefits of Exercise to Increase Libido
Exercise can nourish the body, both physically and mentally, which in turn can increase your libido or sexual desire. Here are some of the benefits of exercise associated with increasing libido:
1. Increase sexual satisfaction
Exercise is one of the best activities to do regularly to increase stamina, including libido, and increase sexual satisfaction. With strong stamina, the duration of your sexual relationship with your partner can last longer.
In addition, exercising can also build muscles that play an important role in sexual intercourse, such as the abdominal muscles, pelvic floor muscles, and muscles around the thighs, legs, and intimate organs. With better health, your body will also find it easier to reach orgasm.
2. Reduce stress
Exercise is a healthy way to manage stress. This is because physical activity can stimulate the production of endorphins, which are natural stress and pain relieving hormones, so you can feel happier. When you are happy, your libido can also increase.
3. Increase self-confidence
Sexual desire is also influenced by how you view yourself. There are studies that say that regular exercise can make a person view himself more positively, so that self-esteem and self-confidence will increase. That way, sexual desire can also increase.
4. Improve circulation and blood flow
When exercising, the heart will pump blood faster and more, so that blood flow throughout the body will be smoother, including to the intimate organs.

Are you frustrated doing exercises and yet not losing weight? Is cardio included in your workout regime? Let me tell you more about it.
What is cardio?
You might have heard this word “cardio” most probably in gyms and by the gym trainers. Cardio is generally a short form for cardiovascular exercises. Any kind of exercise that raises your heart beat is called cardio. Doing cardio helps to burn calories, keeps up your heart rate, improves your metabolism and is genuinely good for muscles.
Our heart is also a muscle and requires regular exercise. Cardio increases the efficiency of heart to pump blood and provide oxygen and nutrients to every part of our body. Cardio exercises are intense and increases your heart rate 50% than normal. By doing so, it keeps your heart healthy. People should perform at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity cardiovascular exercises every week.
Cardio exercises are also called aerobic exercises. Running, cycling, swimming, brisk walking, dancing, and resistance training are also cardio exercises.
What are the major types of aerobics/cardiovascular exercises?
Cardiovascular exercise is categorized into three types:
High-impact cardiovascular exercises are generally called weight-bearing exercises. Weight-bearing involves keeping your feet off the ground at some moment during the exercise. You support your own body weight with your limbs against the force of gravity. Exercise like high-impact aerobic dance called zumba, jumping ropes, and advanced resistance/strength training.
An exercise in which one of your feet remains on the ground during the whole session. But let me tell you that there is an difference between low-intensity cardio and low-impact cardio, as many low-impact activities is sometimes of high intensity. Low-impact exercises are excellent for improving the strength of bones and conditioning the heart and lungs.
No-Impact cardio are non-weight-bearing exercises usually performed in water. Exercise performed in water like swimming and water aerobics are called no-impact cardio because being submerged in water reduces the pull of gravity over the body. No-Impact cardio exercises are recommended to people who have joint problems, chronic pain, arthritis, and who are recovering from injury.
Important facts about cardio
Cardio exercise improves brain health and can also reduce the risk of dementia. Cardio exercises guards your brain from Alzheimer’s disorder and improves memory and thinking ability.
It protects and strengthens the joints. Cardio exercise slows the rate of osteoporosis, reduces the chance of fractures and maintains the range of motion of joints.
Cardio exercises increase blood circulation and hence succors us to have a clearer and healthier skin.
Including cardio exercise to your regular workout regime helps muscle to adapt the pressure and workload and makes the regular exercise bit easier.
As cardio helps to circulate more blood, it prevents from developing diabetes, certain cancer, and cardiovascular diseases.
When cardio exercise is followed with a healthy nutrition plan, it helps to lose weight and keeps the body active.
Keeping your body active reduces blood sugar levels, keeps the vital organs stress free and reduces the chance of evolving type 2-diabetes.
Cardiovascular exercise aids you to have a good sleep. Individuals who suffer from extreme sleep issue like insomnia, cardiovascular exercises with a sleep hygiene education is a perfect education.
Cardiovascular exercise increases the immunoglobulins that are present in the blood. In lay man’s language, aerobic exercise strengthens the immune system. Aerobic exercise when performed, produces endorphins; a hormone that reduces stress and pain.
Individuals suffering from depression, initially in one or two session of 30 minutes are enough to improve their condition. Cardiovascular exercise helps to reduce asthma. It helps to reduce the frequency and severity of the asthma attacks.
Myths about Cardio
MYTH 1: You should always run before you lift weights. You can get good results by running on treadmill but there is no point in doing so, as you invest all your weightlifting energy by running. But, hey! Best time to do cardio is whenever you feel is the right time. Hitting treadmill for slow jogging or bicycle is a good idea to warm up the body and to get sweating before lifting weights.
MYTH 2: Always perform cardio on a fasted stomach. It’s a myth! I will tell you why doing your cardio with something in your stomach is way better than doing fasted cardio. There are no results of breaking down of triglyceraldyhides into fatty acids for fuel on a fasted cardio. But there are studies that say it is the best way to lose fat.
Second reason says that it is too hard on your body. It is generally done in the morning when you wake up. Many people when they wake up they are in a catabolic state. Generally means that protein is used as fuel rather than fats. To avoid that having protein before cardio can be better.
Since you are already in a catabolic state, feeding the muscles with protein will not cause any harm. It will help you to maintain the muscle protein synthesis during cardio. 10 to 20 grams of protein will be relatively enough before cardio.
MYTH 3: Doing more cardio is better for you. It is a myth because doing lots of cardio may burn your muscles which eventually affect your metabolism. It can weaken your immune system. Doing too much of cardio releases excess cortisol (a stress hormone) that eventually reduces sleep.
Excess breaks down your muscle tissues and can cause chronic diseases. It can interrupt women’s menstrual cycle by disturbing the balance between progesterone and estrogen hormones.
Cardio exercises are best for reducing the chance of developing major health issues. But it will be only beneficial when done in proper guidance. Consult your physician before implementing cardio in your exercise regime. Stop cardio workouts if you feel soreness or lethargy. Listen to your body first and act wisely.


In order to prevent the test base (e.g. the test anvil) from affecting the test result in any way, a minimum specimen thickness must be observed with the Brinell method (acc. to ISO 6506).
This minimum specimen thickness must be eight times the indentation depth for the Brinell method and can be taken from the table below.

Turrialba is the name of the fifth region of the province of Cartago, even though it represents 52% of the latter.
Turrialba is set between the conservation zone of the Volcánica Central cordillera and the park La Amistad.
Its population reaches about 70 000 inhabitants and the town of Turrialba, capital of the region, has about 35 000 inhabitants.
The climatic features and the type of ground in Turrialba, where there are valleys as well as fertile broken areas, allowed the development of cultures such as coffee, sugar cane, pejibaye, macadamia, fruit trees and farming.
“Torre Alba” is the name given by the Spanish to the Volcán Turrialba (3339m) because of the extremely high columns of water vapor erupting from the crater. It is a protected area, declared a national park in 1955.
From a geomorphologic point of view, the volcanoes Turrialba and Irazú form one single system. Indeed, from the mountain’s peak, you can easily reach the Irazú’s side. In one of the cols between the sides, there is a cavity where you can hear sounds of the volcanic activity.
The inhabitants say that “it’s a proof of the fact that the two volcanoes join together from underneath”.
The volcano Turrialba is one of the few volcanoes in the world of which you can reach the crater to see the sulfur smokes very closely during a major part of the year.
Tropical Agronomic Canter of Investigation and Education since 1942, the CATIE is at the same time a university and a scientific center for agriculture, management and conservation of natural resources. It has the biggest public library in Central America.
The CATIE has a botanic garden of 45 ha which allows the discovery of more than 95 species of native trees and more than 160 trees from different parts of the world.
National monument of Guayabo
This monument is one of the Costa Rican archeological sites which represent the highest standard of social and cultural way of life of the prehispanic societies in the country. The site (233 ha) was declared archeological patrimony in 1973.
The site possesses circular structures made of stone that used to be houses and surrounding walls as well as streets, draining systems, aqueducts or water holder. There are a lot of carved stones too (petrography).
Reventazón and Pacuare Rivers
The Reventazón is one of the most important rivers in Costa Rica, because of its length (152 km) and its hydroelectric potential. According to the legend, it is on its banks that the white man settled down for the first time; the indigenous population lived, grew and the suffered on the Reventazón sides.
There are other very beautiful rivers in the region of Turrialba such as the Pejibaye River. It is worth discovering this significant Reventazón ’s tributary where you can swim or visit the big cracks between the mountains that are used as drainpipes in the Atlantic region. The canyon possesses forests of giant trees, small rivers, coffee and sugar cane exploitations and small villages.

Regardless of the type of surgery, caring for your cat after surgery can be a challenge. Cats may be uncomfortable, experience pain, and their ability to move around freely may need to be temporarily restricted. Knowing what to expect, and what to watch out for, can make caring for your cat after surgery less stressful for you and help your cat recover faster.
After surgery cats need a quiet place to rest and preferably should be kept away from other pets or small children.
At Cabana Chats cats are able to still enjoy fresh air, some sun and the sound of the birds ( and the sea ) while they recuperate. As well as being able to see the other guests while they lie in a bed of soft blankets with easy access to a litter box, food and water.
We are also able to monitor signs that may indicate that your cat is in pain like behavior changes (quieter than normal, hiding, pacing, aggression), decreased or no appetite, increased respiratory rate, or vocalization. the use of the litter box and any reasons for concern and same applies to the intake of food and water
Administering medication and trips to the vet for dressing changes etc and normally additional charges.

|Resumo:||Fluoroquinolone (FQ) antibiotics are extensively used both in human and veterinary medicine, and their accumulation in the environment is causing an increasing concern. In this study, the biodegradation of the three most worldwide used FQs, namely ofloxacin, norfloxacin, and ciprofloxacin, by the fluoroorganic-degrading strain Labrys portucalensis F11 was assessed. Degradation occurred when the FQs were supplied individually or as mixture in the culture medium, in the presence of an easily degradable carbon source. Consumption of individual FQs was achieved at different extents depending on its initial concentration, ranging from 0.8 to 30 μM. For the lowest concentration, total uptake of each FQ was observed but stoichiometric fluoride release was not achieved. Intermediate compounds were detected and identified by LC-MS/MS with a quadrupole time of flight detector analyzer. Biotransformation of FQs by L. portucalensis mainly occurred through a cleavage of the piperazine ring and displacement of the fluorine substituent allowing the formation of intermediates with less antibacterial potency. FQ-degrading microorganisms could be useful for application in bioaugmentation processes towards more efficient removal of contaminants in wastewater treatment plants.|

Canyoning is by far our most popular activity. It is a readily available activity within the local area which can be run in a broader range of conditions. It is an exciting, adventurous activity that can be modified to fit both heavy and light rainfall, allowing the activity to be different for every group. However, there also a variety of activities that are at the mercy of the sea. Activities such as surfing, kayaking and coasteering all require specific conditions from the sea in order for the most to be made out of the activity.
Surfing is the most obvious activity to be affected by the sea. Surfing is greatly affected by wind conditions and swell. Surface pressure and wind maps can be used to determine the likelihood of good waves on a particular day, so prior analysis is required by companies to determine whether to run a surfing activity on a day. However, surfing in good conditions is a transcendent feeling that no other activity could mimic.
Kayaking is an activity which can be done in both a sea and river environment. The conditions that affect surfing have a similar influence on sea kayaking. However, there is always the possibility to go white water rafting, provided a good river flow.
Coasteering is an activity which is similar to canyoning, however, it is based around jumping off cliffs into the sea rather than off waterfalls. The jumps are bigger and the caving systems are spectacular, however very specific conditions are required, so in many cases an earlier or later time is necessary in order for the activity to be safe.
All activities are based in the South Wales area, in the Cardiff and Swansea areas.

Human figures that were broken to get rid of evil were found in Ulucak Mound in western Turkey. A total of 5 of these figurines were found. Archaeologists think that these figurines date back to around 8000 years ago.
5 human figures with very important meanings dating back 8000 years were found in Ulucak Mound in Izmir, Turkey. Prof. Dr. Özlem Çevik who heading the excavations at Ulucak Mound, ”There was some purpose in breaking the figures. These; they could be broken and thrown to represent birth, death, the building of houses, harvest time and abundance, as well as to destroy bad possibilities.”
Where is the Ulucak Mound?
Ulucak Mound is located in the western part of Turkey, in the province of Izmir. The mound was first discovered by British researcher David French in 1960.
At that time, it was determined that it was contemporary with the Neolithic period with the first finds. Excavations have been continuing since 1960 with various archaeologists. The Ulucak Mound is the first settlement of İzmir. Late/middle Chalcolithic, Early Bronze Age and Roman/Byzantine ruins were found in this area.
The current excavation director, Prof. Dr. Özlem Çevik gave brief information about the studies, ” Ulucak Mound is one of the earliest Neolithic centers of western Anatolia. It was inhabited uninterruptedly, starting from 8 thousand years ago until 1100. ”
”We found 5 human figures during this year’s excavation season. These are made entirely of clay. We’ve found some of them whole, and that’s very rare. Mostly we found the head broken or only the head part. Sometimes we find only its arm and leg broken, just like this year.”
The head of the excavation, Prof. Dr. Çevik noted that they found the figures inside the houses, in the courtyard and on the street of the mound. In addition, previously these figures were thought to have a sacred meaning for the mother goddesses, but with new studies, ıt is thought that they were broken and thrown away to bring more abundance and fertility and to get rid of evil.
Numerous seals, spindle whorls and bench weights were found in Ulucak Mound again this season. These finds also show that the Aegean region was probably the center of textile production.
What has been found so far in Ulucak Mound shows that it will give us more information in the future.

Discussion Lowry assay The Lowry method is one of the most sensitive and widely used.
Science Advisor fluidistic said: What's going on with the wavefunction of the electron when we try to detect it but we fail? In that case the wavefunction does not collapse into an eigenstate I suppose, but we still modified it simply because the atom acts as a perturbator potential?
Is it just as simple as that? Please note that something like a single distinguished shape of the interference pattern does not exist. You shift the positions of the peaks around if you change the relative phase.
For convenience, most of the time the pattern is shown for 0 phase difference, but this is not required at all. Accordingly, everything that changes this relative wave function, will change the interference pattern. This may be achieved by shooting a light field at some angle to the slits or for example by placing a thick sheet of glass at one of the slits as it shifts the phase of the light field at this point.
Placing an atom at the slit will introduce a similar phase shift for electrons and is basically the equivalent of the sheet of glass I described beforehand for a double slit using light.Methods to Identify and Detect Microbial Contaminants in Drinking Water Mark D.

Pacifica is the bees knees
Pacifica always has the best products! My eyes felt renewed and refreshed after using these eye patches. I saw an improvement in the skin under my eyes - more evened color and less puffy.
Lightening but not Magic
I used these incorrectly (didn't take off the mesh/sticker), and it still kind of worked! It was lightening, but I still have dark circles and bags. However, as someone with warm yellow undertones, a lot of lightening under eye products I've used lighten the skin rather than circles, so it looks bruised, and this didn't do that, so I was impressed. I thought that it had a faint coconut scent like other Pacifica products I've had, and they're reasonably priced. Would try (properly!) in the future!


So, what is the best way for YOU to get rid of dandruff?
The best course of action is to experiment until you find something that works for you. And, even if you do discover it, you should switch it up every now and then. If you stick with a treatment for an extended period of time, it may become less effective. Bummer.
So, what options do you have? Here is a list of items that are effective in the fight against dandruff. When you’re out shopping for shampoo, keep an eye out for these items:
Climbazole is an antifungal medication that is used to treat malassezia, a fungus that causes dandruff in the scalp.
Coal tar has a slowing effect on cell turnover. It is also effective for skin conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis (flaking of the skin) and psoriasis.
Ketoconazole is an antifungal medication that works by attacking the fungus that causes dandruff. You can also take it to treat seborrheic dermatitis if you have it.
Miconazole is an additional anti-fungal medication that is used to treat dandruff.
Several natural oils, such as castor oil, coconut oil, and tea-tree oil, are effective in the treatment of dandruff.
Octopirox is an anti-dandruff medication that relieves the symptoms of dandruff, particularly the itching and flaking.
Piroctone Olamine is an anti-bacterial drug that works to eliminate the bacteria that causes dandruff.
BHA (beta hydroxy acid) Having antibacterial capabilities, salicylic acid is a BHA. It loosens dead skin cells, allowing you to wash away the flaky pieces with relative ease. However, it can cause your scalp to become dry.
Selenium sulfide has the effect of slowing down cell turnover. However, it can discolor blonde, grey, or chemically colored hair, and it is particularly effective against seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis.
Its antimicrobial characteristics assist in the regulation of dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis, and psoriasis. Sulfur is also beneficial in the treatment of acne. However, it has the potential to irritate your scalp.
Zinc pyrithione is a zinc derivative that has antifungal qualities, which means it can prevent the growth of bacteria that cause illnesses from spreading. It is also effective in the treatment of seborrheic dermatitis.
I have always been fond of make-up ever since my adolescent days. I would try out different products on myself. With time I realized that while doing make-up can be fun, I also need to take care of my skin. I follow a strict skincare regime now and hope more people understand the importance of doing the same if they have access to the right products.


Endoscopic Examination Package
WHY IS IT WORTH EXECUTED ENDOSCOPES OF THE ALIMENTARY TRACT?
Common gastrointestinal diseases include stomach ulcers, colorectal cancer and stomach cancer. Gastric problems usually appear through bloating, abdominal pain, indigestion, heartburn, constipation or bloody stools. Unfortunately, these symptoms can be a serious disease of the large intestine. With such symptoms, it is worth performing gastrointestinal endoscopy, including gastroscopy and colonoscopy.

Dogs can either serve as watchdogs or guard dogs or both. A watchdog s job is to bark and raise the alarm when a stranger enters your property. Their job is to warn you. Many small dog breeds make great watch dogs. Whereas a guard dog s job is to look intimidating and protect his family by keeping intruders out. Some breeds are great guard dogs but not great watchdogs. And vice versa. And a few breeds are both great guard dogs and great watchdogs.
Today there are over 400 recognized breeds of dogs in the world. Many of them have historical origins dating back hundreds, even thousands of years. Wherever humans have lived, dogs have been alongside them performing various tasks. One of the reasons dogs have been such a successful species is because they are so adaptable. They have made themselves useful in countless ways to humans so we kept feeding them, providing shelter for them, and, yes, breeding them. It’s no accident that we have dogs able to hunt, herd, guard, track, and do so many other things at an expert level. Humans figured out early on that if you bred dogs that were good at these things, you would get offspring that were also good at doing them. All of these jobs performed by dogs were necessary for our own species to survive. It’s no secret that we owe a lot to dogs, just as we do to other animals.
Every breed can be trained to learn almost every command. However, some breeds learn a lot faster than others - making them a lot easier to train. These highly intelligent breeds pick up a command after only about five or six repetitions, they more often respond on the first time you give the command, and they remember commands even if they are not practiced often. They also learn commands even when the trainer is inexperienced and makes mistakes. So if you do not have a lot of the time to spend dog training, or you are the impatient type who gets frustrated easily, choose a breed which has a high ease of training rating.
These are some of the factors to consider when making a decision about which breed is right for you. With these points in mind, browse through the dog breed profiles and discover which dog will be a suitable match for you.

Another text which teaches yoga with an Advaita point of view is the Yoga-Yājñavalkya. This work contains extensive teachings on ten Yamas (ethical rules) and ten Niyamas (duties), and eight asanas. It also discusses a theory of nadis and prana (vital breath), and follows this with instructions on pranayama (breath control), pratyahara (sense withdrawal), meditation on mantras, meditative visualizations and Kundalini.
The motor proteins actin and myosin generate the forces exerted by contracting muscles. Current recommendations suggest that bodybuilders should consume 25–30% of protein per total calorie intake to further their goal of maintaining and improving their body composition. This is a widely debated topic, with many arguing that 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day is ideal, some suggesting that less is sufficient, while others recommending 1.5, 2, or more. It is believed that protein needs to be consumed frequently throughout the day, especially during/after a workout, and before sleep. There is also some debate concerning the best type of protein to take. Chicken, turkey, beef, pork, fish, eggs and dairy foods are high in protein, as are some nuts, seeds, beans, and lentils. Casein or whey are often used to supplement the diet with additional protein. Whey protein is the type of protein contained in many popular brands of protein supplements and is preferred by many bodybuilders because of its high Biological Value (BV) and quick absorption rates. Whey protein also has a bigger effect than casein on insulin levels, triggering about double the amount of insulin release. That effect is somewhat overcome by combining casein and whey. Bodybuilders are usually thought to require protein with a higher BV than that of soy, which is additionally avoided due to its claimed estrogenic properties. Still, some nutrition experts believe that soy, flax seeds and many other plants that contain the weak estrogen-like compounds or phytoestrogens, can be used beneficially, as phytoestrogens compete with estrogens for receptor sites in the male body and can block its actions. This can also include some inhibition of pituitary functions while stimulating the P450 system (the system that eliminates hormones, drugs and metabolic waste product from the body) in the liver to more actively process and excrete excess estrogen. Cortisol decreases amino acid uptake by muscle, and inhibits protein synthesis.
This terse definition hinges on the meaning of three Sanskrit terms. I. K. Taimni translates it as "Yoga is the inhibition (nirodhaḥ) of the modifications (vṛtti) of the mind (citta)".Swami Vivekananda translates the sutra as "Yoga is restraining the mind-stuff (Citta) from taking various forms (Vrittis)." Edwin Bryant explains that, to Patanjali, "Yoga essentially consists of meditative practices culminating in attaining a state of consciousness free from all modes of active or discursive thought, and of eventually attaining a state where consciousness is unaware of any object external to itself, that is, is only aware of its own nature as consciousness unmixed with any other object."
Modern yoga was created in what has been called the Modern Yoga Renaissance by the blending of Western styles of gymnastics with postures from Haṭha yoga in India in the 20th century, pioneered by Shri Yogendra and Swami Kuvalayananda. Before 1900 there were few standing poses in Haṭha yoga. The flowing sequences of salute to the sun, Surya Namaskar, were pioneered by the Rajah of Aundh, Bhawanrao Shrinivasrao Pant Pratinidhi, in the 1920s. Many standing poses used in gymnastics were incorporated into yoga by Krishnamacharya in Mysore from the 1930s to the 1950s. Several of his students went on to found influential schools of yoga: Pattabhi Jois created Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, which in turn led to Power Yoga; B. K. S. Iyengar created Iyengar Yoga, and systematised the canon of asanas in his 1966 book Light on Yoga; Indra Devi taught yoga to many film stars in Hollywood; and Krishnamacharya's son T. K. V. Desikachar founded the Krishnamacharya Yoga Mandalam in Chennai. Other major schools founded in the 20th century include Bikram Choudhury's Bikram Yoga and Swami Sivananda of Rishikesh's Sivananda Vedanta Schools of Yoga. Modern yoga spread across America and Europe, and then the rest of the world.
