Lesson: Understanding Nutrition Labels

Introduction:
Nutrition labels are an essential tool for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. They provide information about the food we eat, such as the number of calories, fat, sugar, and protein. By understanding these labels, we can make informed decisions about what we eat and avoid unhealthy foods. In this lesson, we will explore the basics of nutrition labels and learn how to read them effectively.

Section 1: Understanding the Basics

**Theoretical Concepts:**
- Nutrition labels are required by law on most packaged foods.
- They provide information about the food's nutrient content.
- The information is based on a serving size, which is usually listed at the top of the label.

**Practical Examples:**
- Let's say you're looking at a cereal box that has 150 calories per serving. This means that if you eat two servings, you'll consume 300 calories in total.
- Similarly, if a food has 5 grams of fat per serving, eating two servings would mean consuming 10 grams of fat.

**Questions and Answers:**
- Why do some foods not have nutrition labels? (Some smaller food packages or fresh produce don't require a nutrition label.)
- Can I trust the information on nutrition labels? (Yes, the information is regulated by the government and must be accurate.)

Section 2: Reading the Label

**Theoretical Concepts:**
- The nutrition label is divided into sections, including calories, fat, carbohydrates, protein, and other nutrients.
- Percentage Daily Values (DV) are used to compare the amount of each nutrient in a serving size to the recommended daily intake.

**Practical Examples:**
- Let's say you're looking at a cereal box that has 15% DV of sodium. This means that one serving of the cereal contains 15% of the recommended daily intake of sodium.
- Similarly, if a food has 5 grams of fiber per serving, eating two servings would mean consuming 10 grams of fiber in total.

**Questions and Answers:**
- What does "0%" DV mean? (It means that the food contains negligible amounts of that nutrient.)
- How can I use nutrition labels to make healthier choices? (Compare the DV of different foods to see which one is lower in unhealthy nutrients and higher in healthy ones.)

Section 3: Applying Skills to New Problems

**Theoretical Concepts:**
- By understanding nutrition labels, we can make better choices when shopping for food.
- We can also use the information to create a balanced diet that meets our nutritional needs.

**Practical Examples:**
- Let's say you're trying to lose weight. You can use nutrition labels to find foods that are low in calories and fat.
- Similarly, if you have a medical condition that requires a specific diet, you can use nutrition labels to ensure that the food you eat meets your dietary needs.

**Questions and Answers:**
- How can I use nutrition labels to create a balanced diet? (Look for foods that are high in nutrients like protein, fiber, and vitamins while also being low in unhealthy nutrients like sugar and saturated fat.)
- Can I trust the information on nutrition labels for restaurants? (Not always, since restaurant portions may vary and the information may not be accurate.)

Conclusion:
By understanding nutrition labels, we can make informed decisions about the food we eat and maintain a healthy lifestyle. By comparing different options and choosing foods that meet our nutritional needs, we can improve our overall health and wellbeing.

Rosanne Katon

Rosanne Katon (born February 5, 1954) is an American model, actress, comedian and activist. She was Playboy magazine's Playmate of the Month for its September 1978 issue. Her centerfold was photographed by Mario Casilli.

Background
Katon was born in New York City to a Jamaican-born father.

Career
Beginning in the mid-1970s, Katon worked steadily in Hollywood, including a stint on Grady, the short-lived spin-off of the hit situation comedy Sanford and Son that starred Whitman Mayo in the title role, and guest appearances on  Jason of Star Command, What's Happening!!, Good Times and That's My Mama, which starred Clifton Davis. She then had leading roles in two Cirio Santiago action films, both released in 1976, Ebony, Ivory & Jade, in which she received top billing, and The Muthers, in which she acted alongside former Playboy centerfold Jean Bell. However, the shapely actress was often typecast in sex kitten roles in R-Rated comedies such as The Swinging Cheerleaders (1974), Chesty Anderson, U.S. Navy (1976), American Raspberry (1976), Lunch Wagon (1981), Zapped! (1982) and Bachelor Party (1984). This was solidified by her appearance as the September 1978 Playboy centerfold. Notable exceptions to this rule were a recurring role opposite Denzel Washington on the medical drama St. Elsewhere and her appearance in two award-winning UCLA student films, Julie Dash's "Illusions," released in 1982, in which she portrayed a singer doubling for a white actress in 1940s Hollywood (whether she did her own singing in the role was not known as of mid December 2012), and S. Torriano Berry's "Rich," in which she portrays the title character's supportive girlfriend. Her other film credits included the TV movie The Night They Took Miss Beautiful (1977), the cult horror film Motel Hell (1980), Body and Soul (1981), City Girl (1984) and Harem (1985), opposite Nastassja Kinski and Ben Kingsley.

Katon was selected as Miss Golden Globes for the 1981 awards show. The honor and the task of presenting the statuettes during the ceremony goes to an up-and-coming actress. Katon was the first African American to be selected, since the custom started in 1962.

Additionally, Katon has had several stage credits, including a Broadway lead role in Godspell and a featured role in the parody of women in prison movies, Women Behind Bars.

At one point, Katon segued into the world of stand-up comedy, and during that period in her career, she appeared in the June 1991 Playboy pictorial "Funny Girls," which covered female comedians.

Humanitarian work
In 1984, Katon married Richard M. Walden, who is the president and chief executive officer of Operation USA, an international organization that supplies relief to Third World areas in need such as Rwanda, Cambodia and, more recently, tsunami-ravaged Sri Lanka, Thailand and Indonesia; and to Hurricane Katrina-ravaged areas of Louisiana and Mississippi. Rosanne is an active participant with Operation USA and also serves on its Advisory Board. The relief group is based in California.

Personal life
The Waldens have two children, including a son who is autistic and an expert cellist. The family is featured in the 2007 documentary Autism: The Musical which won the 2007 Emmy for Best TV Documentary Special (HBO).

2-Methoxyestradiol and paclitaxel have similar effects on the cell cycle and induction of apoptosis in prostate cancer cells.
2-Methoxyestradiol (2-ME) is an endogenous metabolite of estradiol with promise for cancer chemotherapy, including advanced prostate cancer. We have focused on events related to cell cycle arrest (G1 and G2/M) and induction of apoptosis in human prostate cancer cells. Treatment with 2-ME increased cyclin B1 protein and its associated kinase activity followed by later inhibition of cyclin A-dependent kinase activity and induction of apoptosis. Similar results were obtained with paclitaxel (taxol), a clinically relevant agent used to treat advanced prostate cancer. Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors prevented 2-ME and paclitaxel-mediated increase in cyclin B1-dependent kinase activity and blocked induction of apoptosis. Reduction of X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis (XIAP) protein by 2-ME and paclitaxel correlated with increased apoptosis. Lower doses of 2-ME and paclitaxel resulted in G1 (but not G2/M) cell cycle arrest in the p53 wild type LNCaP cell line, but with minimal induction of apoptosis. We suggest that 2-ME and paclitaxel-mediated induction of apoptosis in prostate cancer cells requires activation of cyclin B1-dependent kinase that arrests cells in G2/M and subsequently leads to the induction of apoptotic cell death.

Lesson: Introduction to Chemotherapy for Prostate Cancer

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
Chemotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells. In this lesson, we will learn about two chemotherapy drugs, 2-Methoxyestradiol (2-ME) and paclitaxel, and their effects on the cell cycle and induction of apoptosis in prostate cancer cells.

### Section 2: Practical Examples
To understand how 2-ME and paclitaxel work, let's look at a hypothetical example. Suppose a patient with advanced prostate cancer is given a low dose of 2-ME. What happens inside his cells?

1. The 2-ME molecule binds to a specific protein in the cell, called a receptor. This triggers a series of events that lead to the activation of a protein called cyclin B1.

2. Activated cyclin B1 forms a complex with a kinase enzyme, which starts the process of cell division (the cell cycle).

3. As the cell cycle progresses, more proteins are activated, leading to the formation of a structure called the mitotic spindle. This helps to separate the chromosomes during cell division.

4. However, 2-ME also interferes with the function of another protein called XIAP, which protects cells from apoptosis (programmed cell death).

5. With XIAP disabled, the cell undergoes apoptosis, or programmed cell death, which ultimately kills the cancerous cells.

Now let's compare this to what happens when a patient is given paclitaxel:

1. Paclitaxel also binds to a specific protein in the cell, called a receptor. This triggers a series of events that lead to the activation of cyclin B1.

2. Like 2-ME, activated cyclin B1 forms a complex with a kinase enzyme, which starts the process of cell division.

3. However, paclitaxel also affects the function of other proteins involved in cell division, leading to the formation of abnormal chromosomes.

4. These abnormal chromosomes trigger a checkpoint in the cell cycle, which prevents the cell from dividing further.

5. Eventually, the cell undergoes apoptosis, or programmed cell death, which kills the cancerous cells.

### Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions
1. Why are 2-ME and paclitaxel considered chemotherapy drugs?

2. How do 2-ME and paclitaxel differ in their mechanisms of action?

3. What is the role of cyclin B1 in cell division?

4. How does the inhibition of XIAP contribute to the effectiveness of 2-ME and paclitaxel?

### Glossary
- Cell cycle: The series of events that take place in a cell, leading to cell division.
- Apoptosis: Programmed cell death, a process that kills cancerous cells.
- Chemotherapy: A type of cancer treatment that uses drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells.
- Cyclin B1: A protein that plays a key role in cell cycle regulation.
- Kinase: An enzyme that adds phosphate groups to other molecules, triggering chemical reactions.
- Mitotic spindle: A structure that forms during cell division, helping to separate chromosomes.
- XIAP: A protein that protects cells from apoptosis.

### Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about two chemotherapy drugs, 2-Methoxyestradiol and paclitaxel, and their effects on the cell cycle and induction of apoptosis in prostate cancer cells. We also explored the theoretical concepts behind these drugs' mechanisms of action and discussed practical examples of how they work. By understanding these concepts, we can better appreciate the importance of chemotherapy in cancer treatment and apply these skills to other areas of study.

**Lesson: Understanding Price Calculation in E-commerce**

**Introduction:**
In this lesson, we will learn about how prices are calculated in e-commerce websites. We will explore the factors that affect the price of a product and how shipping costs are determined. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to understand the complexities involved in pricing and shipping products online.

**Section 1: Factors Affecting Price Calculation**

1.1. Product Cost: The cost of producing a product is one of the primary factors that determine its price. This includes the cost of raw materials, labor, and overhead expenses.

1.2. Markup: E-commerce businesses often add a markup to the product cost to make a profit. The markup percentage varies depending on the industry and the company's goals.

1.3. Taxes: Depending on the location of the business and the product, taxes may be applied to the final price.

1.4. Discounts: To attract customers or clear out old inventory, e-commerce businesses may offer discounts on their products. These discounts can be in the form of percentage off or fixed amount off.

**Section 2: Shipping Cost Calculation**

2.1. Shipping Method: The cost of shipping a product depends on the shipping method chosen by the customer. Generally, faster shipping methods like express shipping cost more than standard shipping.

2.2. Weight and Dimensions: The weight and dimensions of the product affect the shipping cost. Heavier and larger packages usually cost more to ship than lighter and smaller ones.

2.3. Distance: The distance between the warehouse and the customer's address plays a significant role in determining the shipping cost. Longer distances generally result in higher shipping costs.

2.4. Carrier: Different shipping carriers charge different rates for their services. Customers can choose from a variety of carriers, each with its own pricing structure.

**Section 3: Practical Examples**

Let's say you want to buy a pair of shoes online. The product cost is $50, and the company adds a 50% markup to make a profit. Taxes are not applicable in this case. There are no discounts, so the price of the shoes remains at $50.

For shipping, you choose the standard shipping method, which costs $10. The weight of the shoes is 1 pound, and they measure 8 inches by 4 inches by 2 inches. The warehouse is located 50 miles away from your address, and you choose UPS as your carrier. The shipping cost comes out to be $12. So, the total cost of buying the shoes and shipping them to your address would be $62 ($50 + $10 + $12).

**Glossary:**
- Product Cost: The cost of producing a product, including raw materials, labor, and overhead expenses.
- Markup: The percentage added to the product cost to make a profit.
- Taxes: Charges imposed by the government on goods and services.
- Discounts: Reductions in the price of a product to attract customers or clear out old inventory.
- Shipping Method: The way a package is transported from the warehouse to the customer's address.
- Weight and Dimensions: The physical properties of a product that affect shipping costs.
- Distance: The geographical distance between the warehouse and the customer's address.
- Carrier: A company that provides shipping services.

**Conclusion:**
Understanding how prices and shipping costs are calculated in e-commerce is essential for making informed purchasing decisions. By considering all the factors involved in pricing and shipping products online, you can make better choices and avoid surprises at checkout.

Of course, in this context, I’m referring to materials that want to be made into art. This all started with my grandmother, who would take us for walks and collect various branches and rocks (and anything else that ‘spoke’ to her) to be turned into art afterwards. It opened up the idea that art-or the potential for it-was all around and could be made out of just about anything, and at any time. It helps if you’re open to it and listening..

text: Echoes of the 1995 national-title run? J.R Henderson, the freshman sixth man on the championship team, says only the motivational theme between then and now is familiar.. "The only thing that's reminding me of '95 is how everybody's not picking us for anything, just blowing us off, exactly what they did in '95," Henderson said. "But it takes a lot of pressure off of us and allows us to play our game.. "We don't want to hear people picking us at all. Just let us be, like it's been all year. That's how we came back, that's how we started doing well.". But did Henderson hear that former coach Jim Harrick picked the Bruins to win the Midwest Regional and get to the Final Four? "I heard about that," Henderson said. "If he didn't, I'd be kind of upset."

Senate frontrunner Marco Rubio has released what his campaign is calling the "closing argument" of his campaign, and it comes with arresting images of war, the Depression, children waving American flags, and old black-and-white photos of his parents.. As the frontrunner, Rubio can afford to close out with a mostly positive message that only briefly chides "typical politicians who will say or do anything or fall for the same false attacks they recycle almost every election." The ad wraps in the main themes of his campaign -- that American is "exceptional;" that he, as the son of immigrants, is the product of that exceptional society; and that he will protect this land of hopes and dreams from darker forces in Washington..

Three Bermuda nationals were “removed” by ICE in 2017, compared to one in 2016, according to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement [ICE] Enforcement and Removal Operations activities report.. The report defines a “removal” as the “compulsory and confirmed movement of an inadmissible or deportable alien out of the United States based on an order of removal.”. “ICE Removals include removals and returns initiated by ICE and those initiated by other agencies in which aliens were turned over to ICE for repatriation efforts. Returns include Voluntary Returns, Voluntary Departures, and Withdrawals Under Docket Control,” the report states.. Bermuda nationals make up less than 0.01% of the more than 200,000 “removals,” with the report stating that total removals declined from 240,255 in 2016 to 226,119 in 2017, which they attribute “primarily due to the decline in border apprehensions in 2017.”. The ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Report follows below [PDF here]

Lesson: Understanding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Removals

Introduction:
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is a federal law enforcement agency under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. ICE is responsible for enforcing federal immigration laws, including the removal of individuals who are not authorized to be in the United States. In this lesson, we will learn about ICE removals, also known as deportations, and how they are carried out.

Section 1: What are ICE Removals?
ICE removals refer to the process of removing individuals who are not authorized to be in the United States. This can happen in various ways, such as through voluntary departure, voluntary return, or forced removal. The individual may be removed to their country of origin or to another country where they have ties.

Section 2: Why do ICE Removals happen?
ICE removals happen when an individual is found to be in the United States without proper authorization. This can occur through various means, such as crossing the border illegally, overstaying a visa, or being caught at the border attempting to enter the country without proper documentation. Once an individual is determined to be undocumented, they may be subject to removal proceedings.

Section 3: How are ICE Removals carried out?
ICE removals are carried out through a process called "removal proceedings." During these proceedings, the individual is given an opportunity to defend themselves and provide evidence that they should be allowed to remain in the United States. If the individual is found to be removable, they may be subject to various forms of relief, such as asylum or humanitarian parole. However, if these forms of relief are not granted, the individual may be ordered removed from the United States.

Section 4: Who conducts ICE Removals?
ICE officers are responsible for carrying out ICE removals. These officers are trained in immigration law and have the authority to arrest and remove individuals who are found to be in the United States without proper authorization.

Section 5: How many Bermuda nationals were removed by ICE in 2017?
According to the ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations report, three Bermuda nationals were removed by ICE in 2017. This represents less than 0.01% of the more than 200,000 removals that occurred in 2017.

Section 6: What are the consequences of being removed by ICE?
Being removed by ICE can have serious consequences for individuals and their families. Individuals who are removed may be barred from reentering the United States for a period of time, if ever. Additionally, being removed can have negative impacts on an individual's immigration status, making it difficult for them to obtain legal status in the future.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about ICE removals, also known as deportations. We discussed what they are, why they happen, how they are carried out, and who conducts them. We also learned about the consequences of being removed by ICE and how few Bermuda nationals were removed by ICE in 2017. This information is important for understanding immigration law and policy in the United States.

text: £6 million pounds had been earmarked to give the bridge a makeover, with works due to start in February 2020 and to last about 10 months. The works will include a series of detailed structural repairs, carriageway resurfacing, waterproofing, painting and corrosion protection.. Low energy LED floodlights will be installed underneath its arches so they can be lit at night and existing street lamps will be replaced with Victoriana-style architectural lights.

textbook:
**Lesson: How to Calculate the Cost of a Bridge Makeover**

**Introduction:**
In this lesson, we will learn how to calculate the cost of a bridge makeover. We will use the example of a bridge that needs repairs, resurfacing, waterproofing, painting, and corrosion protection. We will also learn about the benefits of installing LED floodlights and Victoriana-style architectural lights on the bridge.

**Section 1: Calculating the Cost of a Bridge Makeover**

The cost of a bridge makeover depends on several factors such as the size of the bridge, the extent of the repairs needed, the materials required, and the labor costs. Let's assume that the bridge is 500 meters long and needs detailed structural repairs, carriageway resurfacing, waterproofing, painting, and corrosion protection.

**Activity:**
1. Calculate the cost of materials required for the repairs, resurfacing, waterproofing, painting, and corrosion protection.
2. Calculate the labor costs for the workers involved in the project.
3. Add the cost of materials and labor to get the total cost of the bridge makeover.

**Answers:**
1. To calculate the cost of materials, we need to know the cost of each material required for the project. Let's assume that the cost of materials is £500,000.
2. To calculate the labor costs, we need to know the number of workers involved in the project and their hourly wage. Let's assume that there are 20 workers who will work for 10 weeks (70 days) at an hourly wage of £15. The total labor cost would be £140,000.
3. Add the cost of materials and labor to get the total cost of the bridge makeover, which is £640,000.

**Section 2: Benefits of Installing LED Floodlights and Victoriana-Style Architectural Lights**

Installing LED floodlights and Victoriana-style architectural lights on the bridge has several benefits. These include:

- Enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the bridge.
- Improving safety by providing better lighting at night.
- Reducing energy consumption and costs associated with lighting.
- Increasing the lifespan of the lights due to lower energy usage.

**Activity:**
Calculate the cost savings associated with installing LED floodlights and Victoriana-style architectural lights on the bridge compared to traditional lighting options.

**Answers:**
LED floodlights have a lifespan of 50,000 hours, while traditional lighting options last for only 10,000 hours. This means that the cost of replacing traditional lighting options is higher than that of LED floodlights. Additionally, LED floodlights use less energy, reducing energy costs. Therefore, the cost savings associated with installing LED floodlights and Victoriana-style architectural lights on the bridge is significant.

**Section 3: Conclusion**
In this lesson, we learned how to calculate the cost of a bridge makeover and the benefits of installing LED floodlights and Victoriana-style architectural lights on the bridge. We also learned about the importance of considering labor costs and material costs when calculating the total cost of a project. By understanding these concepts, we can apply our skills to other projects and make informed decisions about costs and benefits.

There are several types of quality indicators, including process, outcome, and balance. Process indicators measure how well a healthcare provider follows a particular treatment plan, while outcome indicators measure the results of that treatment. Balance indicators measure the balance between the benefits and harms of a particular treatment.

Topic 3: Importance of Quality Indicators
Quality indicators are essential because they provide healthcare providers with valuable information about how well they are performing. By regularly monitoring these indicators, providers can identify areas for improvement and make changes to ensure that they are providing the best possible care to their patients.

Section 2: Using Quality Indicators to Improve Patient Care

Topic 1: Setting Targets
One way to use quality indicators is to set targets for improvement. By identifying areas where performance is below par, healthcare providers can focus on improving those specific areas.

Topic 2: Monitoring Progress
Another way to use quality indicators is to monitor progress over time. By tracking changes in the indicators, providers can see whether their efforts to improve care are having an impact.

Topic 3: Engaging Patients
Patients are an essential part of the healthcare team, and their feedback is crucial when it comes to measuring the quality of care. By engaging patients and soliciting their opinions, providers can gain valuable insights into how well they are meeting the needs of their patients.

Section 3: Examples of Quality Indicators

Topic 1: Infection Rates
One common quality indicator is infection rates. Hospitals and other healthcare providers are required to report their infection rates to the government, which uses this information to track the quality of care provided.

Topic 2: Patient Satisfaction
Another important quality indicator is patient satisfaction. Providers are increasingly using surveys and other tools to measure how satisfied patients are with their care.

Topic 3: Readmission Rates
Finally, readmission rates are another important quality indicator. Providers are measured on how many patients are readmitted within 30 days of being discharged, and this information is used to track the quality of care provided.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, quality indicators are essential tools used in healthcare to measure the quality of care provided to patients. By understanding the different types of indicators, their importance, and how they can be used to improve patient care, healthcare providers can ensure that they are providing the best possible care to their patients.

Gardening in South Louisiana

Spring Gardening

Spring – the word brings to mind plants sprouting, flowers blooming, birds chirping, spring cleaning; in other words, a sense of renewal. In the south, spring always seems to fly right by and summer has already settled in around this time of the year. This year, spring decided to linger a bit longer – to the great delight of many Southern gardeners. The warm breezy days and the cool nights has allowed many of our spring flowers, such as the cute daffodil below, to remain just a bit longer for us to enjoy.

As for plants sprouting, I have always started my plants around March outside. We have such a long growing season that I’ve never felt the need to start seeds indoors. My plants have always seemed to sprout within the week anyways – and those that didn’t were counted as a lost cause after three weeks. This year, I started my seeds in mid-March as usual. Imagine to my surprise, a cold snap came through three times! Each time, undeterred I would start some more seeds. (Different ones each time, I like to stagger out my seed starting to insure enough plants to last through the season). I was beginning to think the ones started in mid-March were a lost cause when I discovered little sprouts coming up around the same time as the 2nd starting two weeks later!

Anyways, the tomatoes and peppers are planted and staked. I’m trying out the cherokee purple, better boy and sweet 100s tomatoes and the Tam Jalapenos peppers, as well as my dad’s chili peppers. The cilantro has gone to seed but we like the green coriander seeds anyways. Mint has gone crazy and trying to overtake the rest of the garden. (Have to do something about it. Last year, I kept it in check by palming off mint plants to everyone who admired my mint patch. LOL!)

Hello

After years of container gardening on my apartment’s balcony, I finally have a house with a yard which needed a garden. My parents are avid gardeners, especially my dad, and have passed along the gardening genes as well as many wonderful plants to me. There’s something about a garden with brings a pleasant surprise every day to your life and helps you slow down that hectic and frantic lifestyle that so many of us go through on a daily basis. This will be my version of a combination of a gardening and life journal.

He died on February 2, 2011, in the Camp Hill hospital, Halifax, aged 92.

Education
Edward Amy graduated from the Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston, Ontario in 1939, student # 2510.

Military service
Amy served as a tank commander. He commanded A Squadron of the 14th Armoured Regiment (The Calgary Regiment),  in Italy, where he won the Military Cross for his "determined and gallant leadership in taking and holding a vital bridgehead over the Moro River" with his Sherman tanks in December 1943. He was a recipient of the Distinguished Service Order, an Officer of the Order of the British Empire, and recipient of the Military Cross, the Canadian Forces Decoration and the American Bronze Star.

Amy arrived in Normandy, France on July 26, 1944, seven weeks after D-Day as a major.
