is term gpa and semester gpa the same thing

The problem, in my eyes, is listing semester GPA as ""Current GPA"" because those are not the same thing. Current GPA simply means one's GPA at this moment; without further specification (e.g. Major GPA, Technical GPA, GPA last 60 credit hours, etc.) it would imply that it still refers to the overall/cumulative GPA.

This is because the first two years are pretty much just general studies and the 2nd two are where all the engineering actually happens. Would that be appropriate?permalink embed save parent [–] [deleted] 1 point 3 years ago Yes.

I don't know why, it just does. It depends on how you are asked. If you are simply given a GPA field, then put it and talk to the person about it afterwards - now it is on them to make note of it in your 'profile' and you still have the higher one there (although you may then be required to add the cumulative). If it is for a profile on the company website, ask what they want. It all depends on the situation. Best blanket advice is to simply make sure that the person reading your application understands what it is.permalink embed save parent [–] viiincez EE UCLA, EE UCDavis 3 points 3 years ago I don't know what ""Graduating GPA"" is..

Some things I didn't even understand. Those applications were immediately thrown out. We gave forgiveness for first & second year cause a lot of people struggle with the transition. I did.

permalink embed save parent [–] [deleted] 1 point 3 years ago Cumulative GPA is one thing, GPA is another. GPA on its own simply means average over a period of time. Cumulative means over the relevant part of that education i.e. your four years of undergrad. Where are you from? Because that's not how it is herepermalink embed save parent [–] Rotom Thunder 3 points 3 years ago I am from the United States - the Midwest to be more specific. You are correct that it is simply an average over a period of time. However, in my experience, that period of time refers to your entire time in a program (high school, undergrad, post-grad, etc.) unless otherwise specified.permalink embed save parent [–] [deleted] 3 points 3 years ago I don't think Ontario's GPA scene is at all the same as the states. No one even knows what it is (okay, we do, but no one actually uses it) in high school unless it's a private school (and not even always then) and even now we just deal with percentages. None of the jobs I applied to this year even asked for GPA, just (if at all) a transcript, for which I gave them an average on the sheet for each year as a percentage. My point is, here if it is unspecified, it is exactly that. Maybe someone will expect a cumulative, but that's their problem because GPA isn't the same as cumulative GPA in a definite way - it needs to be further defined. Which is why, when asked for a GPA, if it is a very official form it will specify cumulative over the course load, and if it is a less-official form (simply providing information that was asked for directly) a GPA that is only the past two or three years may be used. Just don't pass it off as cumulative. Thanks for the quick responsepermalink embed save parent [–] Rotom Thunder 3 points 3 years ago Interesting read. It's easy to forget that each part of the world uses a different system. I agree with your overall point. There is nothing wrong with listing a different version of your GPA as long you indicate what it means and ""don't pass it off as cumulative"". I think that the primary reason that people on this thread don't like the term ""Current GPA"" is because it doesn't specify that it only refers to one semester. ""Current GPA"" is not a standard or widely-used term, so most recruiters would assume it meant cumulative GPA. The term is intentionally vague, and it seems like OP (assuming OP is from the United States) has the intention of misleading employers. If OP exclusively wants to show his recent performance, a more honest/ethical approach would be to list it using standard and/or explicit terms such as ""Semester GPA"" or ""GPA last two years"". Again, this may be different for other parts of the world; ""Current GPA"" does not mean ""Semester GPA"" in the United States, but the same may not be true in other countries.permalink embed save parent [–] [deleted] 3 points 3 years ago I was not aware, when I entered this thread, that it was apparently a single semester GPA. I thought it was for the most current relevant courses, i.e. your last two years of your degree. I think that is where most of the misunderstanding earlier on began. I don't use the term myself. It's either GPA, or cumulative GPA - because GPA can be over any length, it needs to be specified. And I have no problem with inflating my GPA by leaving out my first year (although it doesn't actually make a difference for me as I have held a 75 throughout my three years... except for one first year non-tech course) so long as I am not leading them to believe it my cumulative GPA, which I will of course have ready, should they so much as express interest in knowing. Where you guys all seem to assume that GPA is cumulative, we do not. Yes, using a two year GPA when asked simply for ""GPA"" is possibly not what they were expecting, but every employer I have dealt with has understood that they may not receive cumulative because of that, and will have ""Cum. GPA"" or the like if that is what they want. It is dishonest to pass it off as cumulative, but I do not find it dishonest to give a two year when asked only for ""GPA"" - if they wanted more, they could have asked for more. When you leave it open to interpretation, that is what you get (and again, as I've said, GPA here is more open to interpretation). This is all of course not to mention that if a company is willing to fire me over giving them something other than what they wanted because they were not clear about what it was that they wanted, why would I want to work there? What kind of environment is that if HR/mgmt treats employees with such trivial hostility? Intentionally misleading is obviously not a good thing to do - but if you don't know what they want (cumulative/major/last two years) then it isn't intentionally misleading, it's just taking an opportunity. Yes, it may be considered sneaky. So what? It isn't breaking any rules, and as I've done so far with my interviews no one has had a problem with it, because I addressed it in my interview. The point is to get to that interview without lying, because if you lie, then you obviously aren't in consideration for the position.permalink embed save parent [–] steelers1377 5 points 3 years ago Thats not alright at all, nobody uses ""current GPA"", thats not even a thing. It's misleading at best.permalink embed save parent [–] [deleted] -4 points 3 years ago *Use what accurately reflects you. If you sucked in first year and then got your shit together, then exclude your first year. It's not being dishonest, just be sure to explain that it is a current GPA and that you excluded your first year or two because they weren't as good and you have changed. Four (or more) years is a long time. Just be straight with them. As for resumes, always use the higher. It looks better, and be straight with them. If they don't like it, they can pass over you.edit: there are a few other comments saying it is dishonest. No, it isn't. If an application asks for your GPA and does not specify which, then they get what they get. Often they ask for your grades anyway (if you haven't graduated yet). As long as you clear it up in the interview that it is a current GPA and not cumulative if it comes up. If it doesn't come up at all, then they obviously aren't interested in it. You should always be clear about what it is in the interview regardless of whether or not they ask - I guess I wasn't clear enough on thatedit: ""In some countries, all grades from all current classes are averaged to create a grade point average (GPA) for the marking period. The GPA is calculated by taking the number of grade points a student earned in a given period of time ... The GPA can be used by potential employers or educational institutions to assess and compare applicants. A Cumulative Grade Point Average is a calculation of the average of all of a student's grades for all of his or her complete education career . [2] [3]""screw you all. Where I'm from, we specify GPA vs cumulative GPA. If you don't like it, don't come here. Obviously you don't put a non-cum GPA in a cumulative GPA entry field on an employee profile, but there is nothing wrong with, when asked, providing a current GPA (although less than two years is very sketchy..) so long as you don't pass it off as cumulative. If any misunderstandings occurred, I am sorry for that. I'm tired and this isn't exactly something I'm paid for, so I'm am more prone to mistakes. If you still disagree with me, I don't care.

where does carrageenan come from

Carrageenan is also found in jelly, pie filling, chocolate, salad dressing, and even as a fat substitute in processed meat. Because it comes from algae, it can be used as a substitute for gelatin for vegetarian and vegan products.

What is Carrageenan?

Carrageenan is a product derived from certain types of red algae, a seaweed found throughout the coasts of North America and Europe. The product is most often used as a thickening agent in place of animal-based products like gelatin, which is extracted from animal bones. It is a common ingredient in many foods and gel-like products, and even has applications in biochemistry. Carrageenan is nearly identical to agar, another substance derived from several different species of red algae. Uses In food and other products, carrageenan works as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier, meaning that it helps keep mixed ingredients from separating. It gives foods a smooth texture and accentuates flavor. It is often used in dairy-based foods, like ice cream, yogurt, and cottage cheese, because it reacts well with milk proteins.

Other, non-food items, like toothpaste, personal lubricants, and air freshener gels may also include carrageenan. It serves the same function as it does in foods — to thicken and stabilize the product, and make it smoother. Some types of fire fighting foam also use carrageenan, which thickens the foam and helps it become sticky and more effective. In chemistry, gels made with it can be used to carry microbes or immobilize cells. Types There are three main classes of carrageenan — kappa, iota, and lambda — each of which have different gel strengths. The kappa class produces a solid, firm gel when mixed with water, and is known for reacting well with dairy proteins. The iota class produces a soft gel when mixed with water, and tends to gel more easily when combined with calcium. The lambda class does not gel in water, although it will in the right concentration in milk; it is more often used as a thickener than to cause a product to gel. Traditionally, the species of algae used to produce carrageenan was Irish moss or Chondrus crispus. In modern times, the kappa class is mostly produced from the Eucheuma cottonii species, while iota comes from Eucheuma denticulatum and lambda from species in the Gigartina genus. Other types of red algae are also used, and yield various amounts of each class. Production Carrageenan is produced in two forms: refined and semi-refined. To produce the refined form, the algae is cooked in an alkaline solution for several hours, then the solid parts of the seaweed are filtered out. The carrageenan is concentrated and removed from the solution, then dried. This method for extracting the substance has been used for hundreds of years, although it is slow and expensive. To produce the semi-refined form, the algae is cooked in an alkaline solution that contains potassium hydroxide. The potassium prevents the carrageenan from dissolving in the solution, but allows most of the other parts of the algae — like proteins and carbohydrates — to dissolve. The algae is then removed from the solution, washed, and dried. What is left is carrageenan and cellulose, which is ground into a powder. Because it does not gel with potassium, the lambda class cannot be produced with this method. It is possible to produce carrageenan at home by boiling Irish moss for about 20 to 30 minutes. When the mixture cools and the moss is removed, much of the carrageenan will have dissolved in the water, leaving a gelled substance. Health Concerns Several studies in the early 2000s suggested that a certain type of carrageenan — degraded carrageenan, which has been hydrolyed, or broken down by acid — could cause gastrointestinal problems, including cancers. The degraded type is not typically used in food. In fact, only the undegraded variety has been deemed safe for human consumption by the Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and approved for use in foods by the Food and Drug Administration in the US.

what a diabetic can do to heal a leg ulcer

. Other topical preparations that occasionally may be useful in the management of diabetic foot ulcers are as follows: Platelet-derived growth factors (PDGF): Topically applied PDGF has a modestly beneficial effect in promoting wound healing.

Diabetic Ulcers Treatment & Management

Drugs & Diseases > Endocrinology Diabetic Ulcers Treatment & Management Updated: Mar 14, 2017Author: Vincent Lopez Rowe, MD; Chief Editor: Romesh Khardori, MD, Ph D, FACP more... Sections Overview Presentation DDx Workup Treatment Medication Media Gallery Tables References Approach Considerations The management of diabetic foot ulcers requires offloading the wound by using appropriate therapeutic footwear, [ 8, 9] daily saline or similar dressings to provide a moist wound environment, [ 10] debridement when necessary, antibiotic therapy if osteomyelitis or cellulitis is present, [ 11, 12] optimal control of blood glucose, and evaluation and correction of peripheral arterial insufficiency. Wound coverage by cultured human cells [ 29, 30] or heterogeneic dressings/grafts, application of recombinant growth factors, [ 31, 32, 33, 34] and hyperbaric oxygen treatments also may be beneficial at times, but only if arterial insufficiency is not present. Physicians of diabetic patients with ulcers must decide between the sometimes conflicting options of (1) performing invasive procedures (eg, angiography, bypass surgery) for limb salvage and (2) avoiding the risks of unnecessarily aggressive management in these patients, who may have significant cardiac risk. In general, the greatest legal risks are associated with delay in diagnosis of ischemia associated with diabetic ulceration, failure to aggressively debride and treat infection, and failure to treat the wound carefully. If a patient presents with a new diabetic foot ulcer, he or she should receive care from physicians, surgeons, podiatrists, and pedorthotists who have an active interest in this complex problem. Management of Systemic and Local Factors Treatment of diabetic foot ulcers requires management of a number of systemic and local factors. [ 35, 36, 37, 38]Precise diabetic control is, of course, vital, not only in achieving resolution of the current wound, but also in minimizing the risk of recurrence. Management of contributing systemic factors, such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerotic heart disease, obesity, or renal insufficiency, is crucial. [ 39, 40] Management of arterial insufficiency, treatment of infection with appropriate antibiotics, offloading the area of the ulcer, and wound care are also essential. For more information, see Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 and Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2. Wound and Foot Care The basic principle of topical wound management is to provide a moist, but not wet, wound bed. [ 10, 41]For more information, see Diabetic Foot Infections. Wound coverage After debridement, apply a moist sodium chloride dressing or isotonic sodium chloride gel (eg, Normlgel, Intra Site gel) or a hydroactive paste (eg, Duoderm). Optimal wound coverage requires wet-to-damp dressings, which support autolytic debridement, absorb exudate, and protect surrounding healthy skin. A polyvinyl film dressing (eg, Op Site, Tegaderm) that is semipermeable to oxygen and moisture and impermeable to bacteria is a good choice for wounds that are neither very dry nor highly exudative. Wound coverage recommendations for some other wound conditions are as follows (see the Table, below): Dry wounds: Hydrocolloid dressings, such as Duo DERM or Intra Site Hydrocolloid, are impermeable to oxygen, moisture, and bacteria; maintain a moist environment; and support autolytic debridement. They are a good choice for relatively desiccated wounds. Exudative wounds: Absorptive dressings, such as calcium alginates (eg, Kaltostat, Curasorb), are highly absorptive and are appropriate for exudative wounds. Alginates are available in a rope form, which is useful for packing deep wounds. Very exudative wounds: Impregnated gauze dressings (eg, Mesalt) or hydrofiber dressings (eg, Aquacel, Aquacel-Ag) are useful for extremely exudative wounds. In these cases, twice-daily dressing changes may be needed. Infected wounds: For infected superficial wounds, use Silvadene (silver sulfadiazine) if the patient is not allergic to sulfa drugs; if a sulfa allergy exists, either bacitracin-zinc or Neosporin ointment is a good alternative. Where heavy bacterial contamination of deeper wounds exists, irrigation using one-fourth strength Dakin solution and 0.25% acetic acid may be useful for a brief period of time; a hydrofiber-silver dressing (Aquacel-Ag) can help control wounds that are both exudative and potentially colonized. Wounds covered by dry eschar: In this case, simply protecting the wound until the eschar dries and separates may be the best management. Occasionally, painting the eschar with povidone iodine (Betadine) is beneficial to maintain sterility while eschar separation occurs; an uninfected dry heel ulcer in a well-perfused foot is perhaps best managed in this fashion. Areas that are difficult to bandage: Bandaging a challenging anatomical area, such as around a heel ulcer, requires a highly conformable dressing, such as an extra thin hydrocolloid; securing a dressing in a highly moist challenging site, such as around a sacrococcygeal ulcer, requires a conformable and highly adherent dressing, such as a wafer hydrocolloid. Fragile periwound skin: Hydrogel sheets and nonadhesive forms are useful for securing a wound dressing when the surrounding skin is fragile

Becaplermin gel 0.01% (Regranex), a recombinant human PDGF that is produced through genetic engineering is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to promote healing of diabetic foot ulcers. [ 32] Regranex is meant for a healthy, granulating wound, not one with a necrotic wound base, and is contraindicated with known skin cancers at the site of application. Enzymatic debridement: Collagen comprises a significant fraction of the necrotic soft tissues in chronic wounds; the enzyme collagenase, derived from fermentation of Clostridium histolyticum, helps remove nonviable tissue from the surface of wounds. However, it is not a substitute for an initial surgical excision of a grossly necrotic wound. Miscellaneous topical agents: Various other topical agents that have been used for wound management include sugar, antacids, and vitamin A and D ointment. Cytotoxic agents, such as hydrogen peroxide, povidone iodine, acetic acid, and Dakin solution (sodium hypochlorite), should be avoided, except as noted above under infected wounds. Table. Characteristics and Uses of Wound Dressing Materials (Open Table in a new window)Category Examples Description Applications Alginate Algi Site Comfeel Curasorb Kaltogel Kaltostat Sorbsan Tegagel This seaweed extract contains guluronic and mannuronic acids that provide tensile strength and calcium and sodium alginates, which confer an absorptive capacity. Some of these can leave fibers in the wound if they are not thoroughly irrigated. These are secured with secondary coverage. These are highly absorbent and useful for wounds having copious exudate. Alginate rope is particularly useful to pack exudative wound cavities or sinus tracts. Hydrofiber Aquacel Aquacel-Ag Versiva An absorptive textile fiber pad, also available as a ribbon for packing of deep wounds. This material is covered with a secondary dressing. The hydrofiber combines with wound exudate to produce a hydrophilic gel. Aquacel-Ag contains 1.2% ionic silver that has strong antimicrobial properties against many organisms, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus. These are absorbent dressings used for exudative wounds. Debriding agents Hypergel (hypertonic saline gel) Santyl (collagenase) Accuzyme (papain urea) Various products provide some degree of chemical or enzymatic debridement. These are useful for necrotic wounds as an adjunct to surgical debridement. Foam LYOfoam Spyrosorb Allevyn Polyurethane foam has some absorptive capacity. These are useful for cleaning granulating wounds having minimal exudate. Hydrocolloid Aquacel Combi DERM Comfeel Duoderm CGF Extra Thin Granuflex Tegasorb These are made of microgranular suspension of natural or synthetic polymers, such as gelatin or pectin, in an adhesive matrix. The granules change from a semihydrated state to a gel as the wound exudate is absorbed. They are useful for dry necrotic wounds, wounds having minimal exudate, and clean granulating wounds. Hydrogel Aquasorb Duoderm Intra Site Gel Granugel Normlgel Nu-Gel Purilon Gel (KY jelly) These are water-based or glycerin-based semipermeable hydrophilic polymers; cooling properties may decrease wound pain. These gels can lose or absorb water depending upon the state of hydration of the wound. They are secured with secondary covering. These are useful for dry, sloughy, necrotic wounds (eschar). Low-adherence dressing Mepore Skintact Release These are various materials designed to remove easily without damaging underlying skin. These are useful for acute minor wounds, such as skin tears, or as a final dressing for chronic wounds that have nearly healed. Transparent film Op Site Skintact Release Tegaderm Bioclusive These are highly conformable acrylic adhesive film having no absorptive capacity and little hydrating ability, and they may be vapor permeable or perforated. These are useful for clean dry wounds having minimal exudate, and they also are used to secure an underlying absorptive material. They are used for protection of high-friction areas and areas that are difficult to bandage such as heels (also used to secure IV catheters). For more information, see Diabetic Foot Infections. Vacuum-assisted closure Clean but nonhealing deep cavity wounds may respond to repeated treatments by application of negative pressure under an occlusive wound dressing (vacuum-assisted closure [VAC]). [ 42]Hydrotherapy Intractable, infected, cavity wounds sometimes improve with hydrotherapy using saline pulse lavage under pressure (Puls Evac). Treatment of Charcot foot Charcot foot is treated initially with immobilization using special shoes or braces but eventually may require podiatric surgery such as ostectomy and arthrodesis. Surgical Care All patients harboring diabetic foot ulcers should be evaluated by a qualified vascular surgeon and/or podiatric surgeon who will consider debridement, revisional surgery on bony architecture, vascular reconstruction, and options for soft tissue coverage. For more information, see Perioperative Management of the Diabetic Patient. Debridement Surgical management is indicated for debridement of nonviable and infected tissue from the ulceration, removal of excess callus, curettage of underlying osteomyelitic bone, skin grafting, and revascularization. The wound usually requires an initial surgical debridement and probing to determine the depth and involvement of bone or joint structures. Visible or palpable bone implies an 85% chance of osteomyelitis. Revisional surgery Revisional surgery for bony architecture may be required to remove pressure points. [ 43] Such intervention includes resection of metatarsal heads or ostectomy. [ 44]Vascular reconstruction In general, the indications for vascular surgery in the presence of a reconstructible arterial lesion include intractable pain at rest or at night, intractable foot ulcers, and impending or existing gangrene. [ 15, 45, 46] Intermittent claudication alone is only infrequently disabling and intractable enough to warrant bypass surgery. Physicians must specifically ask for symptoms suggestive of intermittent claudication, such as pain in the buttocks and thighs while walking and abatement of pain when at rest. Options for Soft Tissue Coverage of the Clean But Nonhealing Wound Once a wound has reached a steady clean state, a decision has to be made about allowing healing by natural processes or expediting healing by a surgical procedure. Clinical experience and observation of the healing progress in each case dictate the appropriate management. Surgical options include skin grafting, application of bioengineered skin substitutes, and flap closures. [ 47]Skin grafts The autologous skin graft is the criterion standard for viable coverage of the partial thickness wound. The graft can be harvested under local anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. Meshing the graft allows wider coverage and promotes drainage of serum and blood. A cadaveric skin allograft is a useful covering for relatively deep wounds following surgical excision when the wound bed does not appear appropriate for application of an autologous skin graft. The allograft is, of course, only a temporary solution. Tissue-cultured skin substitutes Dermagraft (Smith & Nephew) is a cryopreserved human fibroblast–derived dermal substitute produced by seeding neonatal foreskin fibroblasts onto a bioabsorbable polyglactin mesh scaffold. Dermagraft is useful for managing full-thickness chronic diabetic foot ulcers. It is not appropriate for infected ulcers, those that involve bone or tendon, or those that have sinus tracts. A multicenter study of 314 patients demonstrated significantly better 12-week healing rates with Dermagraft (30%) versus controls (17%). Allergic reactions to its bovine protein component have been reported. Apligraf (Organogenesis) is a living, bilayered human skin substitute. [ 48, 30] It is not appropriate for infected ulcers, those that involve tendon or bone, or those that have sinus tracts. Allergic reactions to the agarose shipping medium or its bovine collagen component have been reported. The use of bioengineered skin substitutes has been questioned because the mechanism of action is not clear, the efficacy is questionable, and the cost is high. Xenograft Oasis (Healthpoint, Ltd) is a xenogeneic, acellular collagen matrix derived from porcine small intestinal submucosa in a way that allows an extracellular matrix and natural growth factors to remain intact. This provides a scaffold for inducing wound healing. Do not use this for patients with allergies to porcine materials. Surgical wound closure Delayed primary closure of a chronic wound requires well-vascularized clean tissues and tension-free apposition; it usually requires undermining and mobilization of adjacent tissue planes by creation of skin flaps or myocutaneous flaps. [ 49]Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is used rarely and is certainly not a substitute for revascularization. [ 50] In the presence of an intractable wound and associated noncorrectible ischemic arterial disease, hyperbaric oxygen therapy may be beneficial (in selected cases). [ 51] Löndahl et al found that 40 hyperbaric oxygen treatments (85 min daily, 5 d/wk for 8 wk) resulted in complete healing of chronic diabetic foot ulcers in 52% of patients in the treatment group. Among patients in the placebo group, 29% had complete healing at 1-year follow-up. [ 52] Although data are equivocal on the impact of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in ischemic and pressure ulcers, positive benefits have been documented in diabetic chronic foot ulcers. [ 53]Dietary Chages The recommended diet is diabetic and low in saturated fat. Restriction of Activity Offloading of the ulcerated area is imperative. This may require bed rest acutely. Custom footwear or custom clamshell orthosis (for severe deformities) or total contact casting (a fiberglass shell with a walking bar on the bottom) are required for patients who are ambulatory. Measures for Prevention of Diabetic Ulcers The risk of ulceration and limb amputation in people with diabetes can be improved by routine preventive podiatric care, appropriate shoes, and patient education. [ 54] Diabetic clinics should screen all patients for altered sensation and peripheral vascular disease. [ 34] Of diabetic foot ulcers, 85% are estimated to be preventable with appropriate preventive medicine, including the following: Daily foot inspection Gentle soap and water cleansing Application of skin moisturizer Inspection of the shoes to ensure good support and fit: Medicare covers custom shoes with appropriate physician documentation confirming that the patient is at risk for ulceration. Minor wounds require prompt medical evaluation and treatment. Prophylactic podiatric surgery to correct high-risk foot deformities may be indicated. Avoid hot soaks, heating pads, and irritating topical agents. Glycemic control The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial, performed by the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial Research Group,studiedthe effect of intensive treatment of diabetes on the development and progression of long-term complications in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (1993). [ 55] This trial found that uncontrolled hyperglycemia correlates with the onset of diabetic microvascular complications and that good glycemic control can reduce or even prevent the complications of diabetes, including nephropathy, neuropathy, and retinopathy. Cigarette smoking should be stopped, and hypertension and hyperlipidemia should be controlled.

does glycerin tincture need to be refrigerated

Alcohol-based tinctures have an unlimited shelf life and do not require refrigeration if stored in a cool, dark location. Tinctures that are vegetable glycerine-based do not need to be refrigerated and can last from 3-5 years. Vinegar-based tinctures are recommended to be refrigerated, and can last up to a year.

Herbal Tinctures

Herbal Tinctures April 15, 2015 by Hillary Hilliard Tinctures are concentrated herbal extracts in liquid form that have alcohol as the solvent. Although generally if any other solvent is used, such as water, vinegar, or glycerin, it is considered an extract rather than a tincture. There are exceptions to the rule – vinegar and vegetable glycerine tinctures are also effective options. However, some herbs (roots, berries, barks, non-aromatic seeds) require the strength of alcohol to extract the medicinal properties. Tinctures are extremely convenient and easy to use, as they are taken orally either straight or in teas. The preferred method is often taking the tincture straight (directly under your tongue by dropper), as this allows the tincture to enter your bloodstream faster and can produce quick results. For those that do not like drinking tea, don’t have the time to brew a cup, or are looking for fast results, straight tinctures are perfect. Less than a minute and you are done!Of course, the time it takes to see results varies depending on the herb. While some herbs have immediate effects, others may take weeks of continual use before the results are noticeable. Tincture teas are a different, popular way of taking an herbal tincture. Many people enjoy the flavors, and the act of sitting down and relaxing with a warm cup of tea can be very therapeutic and relaxing. Tinctures can be added to a warm cup of water to make an instant cup of tea. The tincture may also be diluted with a small amount of juice, or flavored with lemon or honey if necessary. Two droppersful of tincture is equal to one 8 oz. cup of tea. Here’s the good news: one dose of alcohol-based tincture is equal in alcohol content to a very ripe banana, making tinctures safe for potentially everyone, including those who are pregnant or nursing, children, and babies. Non-alcoholic options are offered as well. Please be sure you are aware of the herbs that are discouraged for pregnant and lactating mothers. For adults, the standard suggested dosage is two full droppers two to three times daily. For children under 12, weight and height must be taken into consideration to determine a dosage. Suggested dosage charts for children can be found online. For babies under 6 months, tinctures should only be administered through breastfeeding. Remember – regardless of the size of the tincture bottle or dropper tube, the bulb determines the dosage amount and is the same size on every bottle.

They can also be stored in a cool, dark cupboard. Filed Under: Apothecary Tagged With: Tinctures


what part of the horse hoof is the horn?

Beneath the hoof wall is the ""Hoof Horn"" which is attached to the sensitive laminae and attached to the third phalanx, a major bone in the hoof. At the top of the hoof is the coronary band, the source of nutrition for the hoof wall, similar to the cuticle of the fingernail.

Horse Hoof Anatomy

"Horse Hoof Anatomy A = Sensitive Laminae B = Hoof Horn C = Hoof Wall The hoof is layered from the outside in, so the wall of the hoof bears the weight rather than the sole. Like your fingernail, the hoof is made up of dead cells. Dead cells won't heal, so damaged areas must grow out instead of together.

The hoof wall consists of tiny moisture retaining tubes of ""Keratin"" a strong insoluble protein, which grow down from the coronary band at the rate of ¼"" to 5/8"" per month. The periople is a natural protective coating on the hoof wall, which seals in moisture. The front side of the hoof is called the toe, the sides are called the quarters and the back of the hoof is called the heel. The hoof wall and hoof horn meets the sole at the bottom of the hoof. The backside of the sole to the middle portion is called the ""Frog"" a rubbery mass, wedge shaped that acts like a shock absorber. The frog also helps circulate blood within the hoof through a pumping action as the hoof hits the ground. The wall of the hoof grows from the epithelium covering the coronary dermis, which consists of the horn tubules embedded in the intertubular horn that is attached to the coffin bone and hoof cartilage's. The three basic layers of the structure consist of the stratum externum,meduim and internum. The stratum externum consists of the horn tissue produced by the perioplic dermis, which lies directly proximal to the coronary dermis. The stratum externum is only a few millimeters thick, is somewhat rubbery near the coronary band and is dehydrated over the distal hoof wall. The bulk of the hoof wall is made up of the stratum medium's pigmented horn tubules. The non- pigmented stratum internum consist of the approximately 600 laminae that interdigitate with the sensitive laminae of the laminar dermis. The dermis of the sole is firmly attached to the undersurface of the coffin bone and produces a mixture of horn tubules and intertubular horn. The junction between the sole and wall is the so - called ""white line"". The white line includes some of the non-pigmented stratum medium of the wall, the distal ends of the horny laminae and, between these, pigmented horn produced over the terminal papillae of the laminae dermis.

are comic books considered a genre

Aside from superhero, the main genres of comic books are: alternative/esoteric, manga, science fiction, fantasy, action/adventure, horror, humor, romance, children's, and adult. Superhero comics are most popular in the United States.

How to Make a Comic/Types of Comics

How to Make a Comic/Types of Comics< How to Make a Comicnavigation search Although most people think of superheroes when they think of comic books, there are many other genres for collectors to enjoy.

Superhero comic books are similar to modern day mythology, with fantastical settings and characters with superhuman powers and abilities. Examples of superhero comics include Wonder Woman, X-Men, Superman, Spiderman, and Batman. Contents [ hide ]1 Alternative Comic books2 Manga3 Science Fiction/Fantasy4 Action Comic Books5 Horror Comic Books6 Romance/Adult Comic Books Alternative Comic books [ edit]Alternative/esoteric comic books are more realistic than superhero comic books, but they do not necessarily have to be real to life. Readers who want to think a bit more about what they are reading enjoy these comic books. Some are about fictional events, while others are educational or based on history. These comic books tend to receive more critical recognition and acclaim. Examples include American Splendor, Strangers in Paradise, Ghost World, and Sandman. Manga [ edit]Example of manga Manga comic books are Japanese. In the United States, these books are translated into English. With the popularity of these comic books, the style is often also produced in countries other than in Japan. Manga is the most well known comic book type worldwide. Science Fiction/Fantasy [ edit]Example of science fiction comics Science fiction comic books tell futuristic stories that incorporate advanced technology and, usually, travel through space. Many superhero comic books also fall under the science fiction category because of the superpowers and weapons they include. Nonetheless, superhero comic books belong to a category of their own. Fantasy comic books involve fantasy creatures, swords, sorcery, and mythological figures. Some of the most successful fantasy comic books are also turned into very successful fantasy novels. An example of a fantasy comic book that has had widespread success is the Conan the Barbarian series. Action Comic Books [ edit]Action/adventure comic books usually involve characters that do not have special powers. Rather, they are everyday people experiencing a conflict. Most of the characters, however, are detectives or police, and the story focuses on their battles against criminals. Horror Comic Books [ edit]Example of horror comics Horror comic books feature characters such as zombies, monsters, and vampires. These comic books tend to be gruesome and often include nudity and profanity. Humor comic books also generally contain dark themes. They are not strictly funny, as a comic strip found in the Sunday newspaper would be. Humor comic books often cross over into many different genres of comic books. Romance/Adult Comic Books [ edit]Example of romance comics Romance comic books involve stories about love and relationships. Many times, these comic books also cross over to other genres. In fact, comic books that are strictly about romance are no longer very common. Children’s comic books are also not that common, as most comic books are geared towards an adult audience. Comic books that are geared toward children are generally whimsical and humorous. Adult comic books are considered the underground publications of the comic book genre. Nonetheless, there are numerous adult comic books to choose from. Many mainstream bookstores and even comic book shops do not carry this genre. Rather, most are downloaded from the Internet.

what is the third law

The Third Law of Thermodynamics is concerned with the limiting behavior of systems as the temperature approaches absolute zero. Most thermodynamics calculations use only entropy differences, so the zero point of the entropy scale is often not important.

"Live Science Tech Reference: What is the Third Law of Thermodynamics? By Jim Lucas, Live Science Contributor | May 22, 2015 01:31am ETMOREAt 0 K, entropy stops. This is known as absolute zero, and in theory, this is not possible. Credit: Khomulo Anna | Shutterstock

However, we discuss the Third Law for purposes of completeness because it describes the condition of zero entropy. The Third Law states, “The entropy of a perfect crystal is zero when the temperature of the crystal is equal to absolute zero (0 K).” According to Purdue University, “The crystal must be perfect, or else there will be some inherent disorder. It also must be at 0 K; otherwise there will be thermal motion within the crystal, which leads to disorder.”Siabal Mitra, a professor of physics at Missouri State University, provides another implication of this law. “One version of the Third Law states that it would require an infinite number of steps to reach absolute zero, which means you will never get there. If you could get to absolute zero, it would violate the Second Law, because if you had a heat sink at absolute zero, then you could build a machine that was 100 percent efficient.”In theory it would be possible to grow a perfect crystal in which all of the lattice spaces are occupied by identical atoms. However, it is generally believed that it is impossible to achieve a temperature of absolute zero (although scientists have come quite close ). Therefore, all matter contains at least some entropy owing to the presence of some heat energy. History The Third Law of Thermodynamics was first formulated by German chemist and physicist Walther Nernst. In his book, "" A Survey of Thermodynamics "" (American Institute of Physics, 1994), Martin Bailyn quotes Nernst’s statement of the Third Law as, “It is impossible for any procedure to lead to the isotherm T = 0 in a finite number of steps.” This essentially establishes a temperature absolute zero as being unattainable in somewhat the same way as the speed of light c. Theory states and experiments have shown that no matter how fast something is moving, it can always be made to go faster, but it can never reach the speed of light. Similarly, no matter how cold a system is, it can always be made colder, but it can never reach absolute zero. In her book, "" The Story of Physics "" (Arcturus, 2012), Anne Rooney wrote, “The third law of thermodynamics requires the concept of a minimum temperature below which no temperature can ever fall — known as absolute zero.” She continued, “Robert Boyle first discussed the concept of a minimum possible temperature in 1665, in "" New Experiments and Observations Touching Cold ,"" in which he referred to the idea as primum frigidum .”Absolute zero is believed to have been first calculated with reasonable precision in 1779 by Johann Heinrich Lambert. He based this calculation on the linear relationship between the pressure and temperature of a gas. When a gas is heated in a confined space, its pressure increases. This is because the temperature of a gas is a measure of the average speed of the molecules in the gas. The hotter it gets, the faster the molecules move, and the greater the pressure they exert when they collide with the walls of the container. It was reasonable for Lambert to assume that if the temperature of the gas could be brought to absolute zero, the motion of the gas molecules could be brought to a complete stop so they could no longer exert any pressure on the walls of the chamber. If one were to plot the temperature-pressure relationship of the gas on a graph with temperature on the x (horizontal) axis and pressure on the y (vertical) axis, the points form an upward-sloping straight line, indicating a linear relationship between temperature and pressure. It should be rather simple, then, to extend the line backward and read the temperature where the line crosses the x axis, i.e., where y = 0, indicating zero pressure. Using this technique, Lambert calculated absolute zero to be minus 270 degrees Celsius (minus 454 Fahrenheit), which was remarkably close to the modern accepted value of minus 273.15 C (minus 459.67 F). The Kelvin temperature scale The person most associated with the concept of absolute zero is William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin. The temperature unit bearing his name, the kelvin (K), is the one most commonly used by scientists worldwide. Temperature increments in the Kelvin scale are the same size as in the Celsius scale, but because it starts at absolute zero, rather than the freezing point of water, it can be used directly in mathematical calculations, particularly in multiplication and division. For example, 100 K actually is twice as hot as 50 K. A sample of confined gas at 100 K also contains twice as much thermal energy, and it has twice the pressure as it would have at 50 K. Such calculations cannot be done using the Celsius or Fahrenheit scales, i.e., 100 C is not twice as hot as 50 C, nor is 100 F twice as hot as 50 F. Implications of the Third Law Because a temperature of absolute zero is physically unattainable, the Third Law may be restated to apply to the real world as: the entropy of a perfect crystal approaches zero as its temperature approaches absolute zero. We can extrapolate from experimental data that the entropy of a perfect crystal reaches zero at absolute zero, but we can never demonstrate this empirically. According to David Mc Kee, a professor of physics at Missouri Southern State University, “There’s a field of ultra-low-temperature research, and every time you turn around there’s a new record low. These days, nanokelvin (n K = 10 −9 K) temperatures are reasonably easy to achieve, and everyone’s now working on picokelvins (p K =, 10 −12 K).” As of this writing, the record-low temperature was achieved 1999 by the YKI-group of the Low Temperature Laboratory at Aalto University in Finland. They cooled a piece of rhodium metal to 100 p K, or 100 trillionths of a degree Celsius above absolute zero besting the previous record of 280 p K set by them in 1993. While a temperature of absolute zero does not exist in nature, and we cannot achieve it in the laboratory, the concept of absolute zero is critical for calculations involving temperature and entropy. Many measurements imply a relationship to some starting point. When we state a distance, we have to ask, distance from what? When we state a time, we have to ask, time since when? Defining the zero value on the temperature scale gives meaning to positive values on that scale. When a temperature is stated as 100 K, it means that the temperature is 100 K above absolute zero, which is twice as far above absolute zero as 50 K and half as far as 200 K. On first reading, the Third Law seems rather simple and obvious. However, it serves and the final period at the end of a long and consequential story that fully describes the nature of heat and thermal energy.

which surgery for crooked nose

Our doctor may use any number of techniques to fix a crooked/broken nose, including procedures such as rhinoplasty, septoplasty or septorhinoplasty. However, no matter what the circumstances, the goals are always to restore symmetry and nasal airway function.

"How Does Dr. Sam Rizk Fix A Crooked/Broken Nose? Rhinoplasty Before & After - Plastic Surgeon New York*Results may vary.

A crooked or broken nose sometimes requires straightening of all three major nasal structures: the bony bridge, the cartilage bridge (middle of the nose) and the tip cartilage. If the bones are pushed to one side, osteotomies — or controlled breaks — may be performed to realign the bones. If the septum or other cartilage is deviated, suturing techniques will likely be employed. And if the septum is fractured, it will most likely need to be reset. Spreader grafts are often used to strengthen the cartilage if the middle portion of the nose is affected. To restore symmetry when fixing a crooked/broken nose, it is very important to align the midline of the nose with the midline of the teeth. It is important to note that you may need to wait for weeks or even months to have your crooked/broken nose fixed. Also, repairing a crooked nose is a very challenging procedure that requires the advanced training and skills of a facial plastic surgeon specializing in nose surgery, such as our doctor.

what do cpa's earn

The CPA salary 2012 will vary with particular cities that a person works in, and New York, New York is the highest paying area in the entire country. Accountants who work in this city will earn an annual average of $63,294 in the coming year.

CPA Salary 2012Posted on January 12, 2012 by CPAProteam Studies have shown that the CPA salary 2012 will continue to improve, and professionals are offered one of the highest paying careers when they enter this field. Particular salaries depend on a number of factors, but this career enables professionals to earn at least $40,000 per year. This is an entry level salary in the lowest paying geographical areas. The factors that are essential in determining the amount of money that a person will earn are the employer, years of experience and the city where a professional works. Experience Factor CPA Salary 2012Experience is the chief factor that affects the amount that any professional will earn, and the CPA salary 2012 is dependent on this as well. Entry level earnings will be in the range of $45,000 yearly in 2012, and this amount will go up depending on the amount of experience an individual has. Accountants, who have been working in the field for a minimum of one year, will earn close to $50,000 per year. The second level of experience that is usually used to classify a professional accountant is five to nine years. Earning for those who have this time in the field will earn close to $60,000 per year. Those who have up to 19 years of experience in the accounting field can earn salaries of over $70,000 yearly. Accountants, who have been working professionally for over 20 years, will earn $79,038 average in the 2012 year. Employers vary with the amount they will pay for a CPA salary 2012, and there are several career options that are open to people who have this professional licensure. Accountants often work for themselves and are able to set their own hours. These professionals earn, on average, $60,095 per year, and they also receive numerous benefits that are related to owning their own business. Large corporations are another employer of CPA’s, and they will pay their employees an average of $55,300 for the coming year. Schools and education districts are the most rewarding areas for a person who works as an accountant, and they pay their employees an average of $76,892 per year. The federal government is the second best paying employer, and they reward their accountants with an average salary of $66,650. Franchises are another industry that routinely hires professional CPA’s, and they will pay an average of $55,000 for their accountant’s salaries in 2012. Hospitals and non-profit organizations pay their workers about the same, and a person who works for one of these providers will notice their salaries for the 2012 year to be in the neighborhood of $52,000. Geographical Factors CPA Salary 2012Geographical areas are another issue that affects the amount that anyone will earn, and this is true for those who have been licensed as a CPA.

The second best paying city is another burgeoning metropolis, and Chicago, Illinois accountants will notice their salaries to be $61,755 for the 2012 year. Los Angeles, California is a close third to these two cities, and professionals will receive compensation in the range of $60,225 in the next year. Houston, Texas is another good city for an accountant to live, and professionals will notice their earnings to average $60,167 this year. Accountants can also expect good wages when they live in Atlanta, Georgia, and the salaries here will be about $54,973. Accountants can also rely on a number of other perks that are not included in the salary numbers, and this will actually make their pay higher than the averages that have been depicted above. Life insurance and disability are some of the benefits that are offered to anyone who works with a major company or a government organization. This can add several thousand dollars to the yearly salary. Most firms also reward their employees with a 401 (k) program, and this will also contribute to the overall earnings of a professional accountant. This job is one of the most rewarding careers, and professionals can easily enter this field with a four year college degree. The entry level CPA salary 2012 will average $45,000 for this year, and this does not include all of the perks that are included with most employers. Posted in Uncategorized | 1 Comment

what is boiled wool

Basically, boiled wool is knitted wool, which has been exposed to heat and water and shrunk to become felted. The process: To produce boiled wool today, big special washing machines are used. Under the influence of heat and water, the scale structure of the wool, similar to that of pinecones, is broken up. The adjoining fibers in the knitted fabrics are intertwined.

Boiled Wool Jackets - Unique Qualities Here at Alpen Style we provide some of the finest women’s boiled wool jackets and coats from the European designer Geiger of Austria and Icelandic Design. Boiled wool, also known here in the U. S. as boiled worsted wool and in Europe as walk or schurr wool, is a unique material in that it has so many appealing qualities. The advantages: What makes boiled wool such an attractive yet functional fabric is that it has durability, climatic comfort and wonderful softness incorporated into one fabric. When most people think of wool, they think of a cold weather only, scratchy material. Boiled wool is made into felted wool and is not scratchy. Boiled wool jackets can be made to keep you warm in the most severe weather or made of a lighter thickness for more temperate climates. Boiled wool jackets retain their shape for years due to the natural elasticity within the fabric. Boiled wool is also the most elegant, water resistant material you will find.

Apart from this, the individual wool fibers shrink. The wool felts and the knitted fabric shrinks up to forty percent in length and in breadth. In so doing, innumerable small air chambers are trapped in the fabric. The qualities: Felting gives wool special characteristics with the climatic qualities of a modern micro fiber. In this way an almost constant temperature is maintained inside a boiled wool jacket even when it is cold or windy, because the trapped air chambers work as a buffer zone. Even in rain and snow, boiled wool provides excellent protection against the bad weather due to the fact that sheep's wool can absorb about sixty percent of its own weight in water before it actually begins to feel wet. The fat content and the density of the fabric when felted add to the fact that drops of water roll off the surface of the fabric. Boiled wool is particularly weather-resistant because the ingenious felting increases the tensile strength and the friction resistance of wool remarkably. Boiled wool is particularly comfortable because unlike loden (woven wool vs. knitted wool), it stretches. One just has to wear this wonder fabric once to fall in love with it! So visit us at Alpen Style.com to see the beauty of our boiled wool jackets and coats.
