Improving the emergency department management of post-chemotherapy sepsis in haematological malignancy patients.
To review the result of the implementation of treatment protocol for post-chemotherapy sepsis in haematological malignancy patients. Case series with internal comparison. Accident and Emergency Department, Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Hong Kong. Febrile patients presenting to the Accident and Emergency Department with underlying haematological malignancy and receiving chemotherapy within 1 month of Accident and Emergency Department visit between June 2011 and July 2012. Similar cases between June 2010 and May 2011 served as historical referents. The compliance rate among emergency physicians, the door-to-antibiotic time before and after implementation of the protocol, and the impact of the protocol on Accident and Emergency Department and hospital service. A total of 69 patients were enrolled in the study. Of these, 50 were managed with the treatment protocol while 19 patients were historical referents. Acute myeloid leukaemia was the most commonly encountered malignancy. Overall, 88% of the patients presented with sepsis syndrome. The mean door-to-antibiotic time of those managed with the treatment protocol was 47 minutes versus 300 minutes in the referent group. Overall, 86% of patients in the treatment group met the target door-to-antibiotic time of less than 1 hour. The mean lengths of stay in the emergency department (76 minutes vs 105 minutes) and hospital (11 days vs 15 days) were shorter in those managed with the treatment protocol versus the historical referents. Implementation of the protocol can effectively shorten the door-to-antibiotic time to meet the international standard of care in neutropenic sepsis patients. The compliance rate was also high. We proved that effective implementation of the protocol is feasible in a busy emergency department through excellent teamwork between nurses, pharmacists, and emergency physicians.

Described herein is (E)-6,10-dimethyl-5,9-undecadien-2-ol (geranyl acetol), termed here fuscumol, which has been identified as a male-produced pheromone emitted by Tetropium fuscum (F.) and Tetropium cinnamopterum. Also described are novel derivatives thereof e.g. esters, methods for the synthesis thereof and to a composition comprising fuscumol plus host volatiles e.g. a synthetic blend of monoterpenes plus ethanol, for attracting male and female T. fuscum and female T. cinnamopterum.
We have been developing tools for detection of the brown spruce longhorn beetle, Tetropium fuscum (F.) (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Spondylidinae), a Palearctic species inadvertently introduced to Canada and discovered near the port of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, in 1999 (Smith and Hurley 2000)1. In Europe, T. fuscum breeds primarily in moribund Norway spruce, Picea abies (L.) Karst. In Nova Scotia, it is infesting red spruce, P. rubens Sarg., white spruce, P. glauca (Moench) Voss, black spruce, P. mariana (Mill.) B.S.P., and Norway spruce (Smith and Humble 2000)2. Many cerambycids are attracted to conifer volatiles (Allison et al. 2004)5. A synthetic blend of monoterpenes simulating spruce cortical volatiles plus ethanol is attractive to T. fuscum, T. cinnamopterum Kirby and T. castaneum (L.) (Sweeney et al. 2004, 2006)3,4. However, a pheromone-based attractant should detect T. fuscum at lower population densities and be more species specific than host volatiles. In cerambycids studied to date, long-range pheromones tend to be short-chain (6-10 carbons) hydroxy ketones or diols released by males that elicit attraction in either both sexes or females only (Allison et al. 20045; Lacey et al. 20046.

Lesson: Introduction to Chemistry

Overview: In this lesson, we will learn about the basic concepts of chemistry, including atoms, molecules, and compounds. We will also explore the properties of elements and how they interact with one another to form different substances.

Objectives: By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

- Define atoms, molecules, and compounds
- Identify the properties of elements
- Explain how elements interact to form different substances
- Describe the differences between physical and chemical changes

Section 1: Atoms, Molecules, and Compounds

**Topic 1: Atoms, Molecules, and Compounds**

**Question:** What are atoms, molecules, and compounds?

**Answer:** Atoms are the smallest units of matter that make up all substances. They are so small that they cannot be seen with the naked eye. Molecules are formed when two or more atoms are bonded together. A compound is a substance made up of two or more different elements chemically combined together.

**Topic 2: Properties of Elements**

**Question:** What are some properties of elements?

**Answer:** Some properties of elements include their atomic number, atomic mass, electron configuration, and reactivity. The atomic number refers to the number of protons in an atom's nucleus, while the atomic mass is the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus. Electron configuration refers to the arrangement of electrons around the nucleus, and reactivity refers to how likely an element is to undergo a chemical reaction.

**Topic 3: How Elements Interact**

**Question:** How do elements interact to form different substances?

**Answer:** When elements interact, they can form different substances through chemical reactions. These reactions involve the rearrangement of atoms to create new compounds. There are also physical changes, such as melting or evaporation, which do not involve the formation of new substances.

Section 2: Physical and Chemical Changes

**Topic 1: Physical and Chemical Changes**

**Question:** What is the difference between physical and chemical changes?

**Answer:** Physical changes involve a change in the state of matter, such as melting, freezing, or evaporation. Chemical changes, on the other hand, involve the formation of new substances through chemical reactions.

**Topic 2: Examples of Physical and Chemical Changes**

**Question:** Can you give some examples of physical and chemical changes?

**Answer:** Sure! An example of a physical change would be ice melting into water. An example of a chemical change would be rusting, which involves iron reacting with oxygen to form iron oxide.

**Topic 3: Balancing Chemical Equations**

**Question:** How do you balance chemical equations?

**Answer:** To balance chemical equations, you need to make sure that the number of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation is equal. This involves adjusting the coefficients (the numbers in front of the chemical formulas) until the equation is balanced.

Conclusion: In this lesson, we have learned about the basic concepts of chemistry, including atoms, molecules, compounds, and chemical reactions. We have also explored the differences between physical and chemical changes and how to balance chemical equations. By understanding these concepts, we can better understand the world around us and apply them to solve real-world problems.

Virginia Beale

February 13, 1918 - October 19, 2010

Virginia Ruth Beale

Virginia Ruth Beale was called to her Lord on October 19, 2010. She was born to Dr. Oscar and Mary Elizabeth Sikes on February 13, 1918, in Aurora, Missouri. She grew up in Aurora with her three brothers: Joe, Don, and Rex, and two sisters: Maxine and Charlotte who are all deceased. Two siblings, Vivian and Carl, died in infancy. They were a loving and close knit family. Their early interest and talent in music led to the formation of the Sikes Family Orchestra which performed at numerous public and private events during their youthful years. The Sikes Orchestra was a life-long source of pride for each member of the family.

Virginia married Carroll Wesley Beale on September 15, 1937, and celebrated 73 years of love and devotion. She lived most of her adult life in Aurora where she was a devoted homemaker, a nurturing mother, and an energetic volunteer in numerous church, charitable, and community service organizations including the First Baptist Church in Aurora, Meals on Wheels for 22 years, PTA, and the philanthropic educational organization, PEO. Although a willing worker, Virginia modestly preferred a quiet "behind the scenes" role devoting her time and energies to her family. Virginia and Carroll had two daughters, Carolyn and Mary Beth, who both became schoolteachers inspired by their parents' example of community service.

Virginia displayed her creative talents through skilled sewing, antique refinishing, and interior decorating. She was an avid reader in her prime years, a habit that evolved into being a keen crossword puzzler in her later years.

Virginia and Carroll were widely traveled in the United States and Europe. While they had many memorable trips, they particularly enjoyed visiting daughter Carolyn in England and daughter Mary Beth in Italy and Hawaii.

In 1992, Virginia and Carroll purchased a home in Blue Lake Estates located in Horseshoe Bay, Texas. Initially, they were "snow birds," but in 1997 they moved to Texas permanently. They joined The Church at Horseshoe Bay and quickly became active in the Blue Lake community as service volunteers and avid golfers.

A memorial service will be held on Wednesday, October 27, 2010, at 11:00 a.m. at The Church at Horseshoe Bay, Texas. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to The Church at Horseshoe Bay, P.O. Box 8259, Horseshoe Bay, Texas, 78657, or to the charity of your choice. Condolences may be offered at www.clementswilcoxfuneralhome.com.

Sugar recognition by the lactose permease of Escherichia coli.
Biochemical, luminescence and mass spectroscopy approaches indicate that Trp-151 (helix V) plays an important role in hydrophobic stacking with the galactopyranosyl ring of substrate and that Glu-269 (helix VIII) is essential for substrate affinity and specificity. The x-ray structure of the lactose permease (LacY) with bound substrate is consistent with these conclusions and suggests that a possible H-bond between Glu-269 and Trp-151 may play a critical role in the architecture of the binding site. We have now probed this relationship by exploiting the intrinsic luminescence of a single Trp-151 LacY with various replacements for Glu-269. Mutations at position 269 dramatically alter the environment of Trp-151 in a manner that correlates with binding affinity of LacY substrates. Furthermore, chemical modification of Trp-151 with N-bromosuccinimide indicates that Glu-269 forms an H-bond with the indole N. It is concluded that 1) an H-bond between the indole N and Glu-269 optimizes the formation of the substrate binding site in the inward facing conformation of LacY, and 2) the disposition of the residues implicated in sugar binding in different conformers suggests that sugar binding by LacY involves induced fit.

Lesson: Sugar Recognition by the Lactose Permease of Escherichia coli

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about the sugar recognition process of the lactose permease of Escherichia coli. We will explore the role of specific amino acids in the protein's structure and function, and how they interact with the substrate to facilitate sugar transport.

Core Value:
The core value of this lesson is understanding how the lactose permease of Escherichia coli recognizes and binds to sugar molecules. This is important because it helps us understand how cells transport sugars and other molecules across their membranes, which is essential for life processes.

Section 1: Biochemical, Luminescence, and Mass Spectroscopy Approaches
We will start by discussing the different experimental techniques used to study the lactose permease's interaction with sugar molecules. These techniques include biochemical assays, luminescence measurements, and mass spectrometry.

Question: What are biochemical assays, luminescence measurements, and mass spectrometry, and how do they help us study the lactose permease's interaction with sugar molecules?

Answer: Biochemical assays involve the use of enzymes or other biological molecules to study chemical reactions or processes. In this case, we use assays to measure the binding affinity of the lactose permease to different sugar molecules. Luminescence measurements involve the use of light to study biological processes, such as the interaction between amino acids in the lactose permease. Mass spectrometry is a technique used to identify and quantify the mass of molecules, which can help us determine the structure and function of proteins like the lactose permease.

Section 2: X-ray Structure of the Lactose Permease with Bound Substrate
Next, we will discuss the x-ray structure of the lactose permease with bound substrate. This structure provides important information about the protein's architecture and the interactions between amino acids and the substrate.

Question: What is the x-ray structure of the lactose permease with bound substrate, and what does it tell us about the protein's architecture and interactions with the substrate?

Answer: The x-ray structure of the lactose permease with bound substrate is a three-dimensional representation of the protein's shape and arrangement of atoms. It shows how the protein's amino acids interact with the substrate and provides insights into the protein's overall structure and function.

Section 3: Role of Specific Amino Acids in Sugar Recognition
Finally, we will discuss the role of specific amino acids in the lactose permease's structure and function. We will focus on two amino acids, Trp-151 and Glu-269, and their interactions with the substrate.

Question: What is the role of Trp-151 and Glu-269 in the lactose permease's structure and function, and how do they interact with the substrate?

Answer: Trp-151 and Glu-269 are two amino acids in the lactose permease that play crucial roles in substrate recognition and binding. Trp-151 is part of helix V and is involved in hydrophobic stacking with the galactopyranosyl ring of the substrate. Glu-269 is part of helix VIII and is essential for substrate affinity and specificity. The x-ray structure of the lactose permease with bound substrate supports these conclusions and suggests that a possible H-bond between Glu-269 and Trp-151 may play a critical role in the architecture of the binding site.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we have learned about the importance of specific amino acids in the lactose permease's structure and function. We have also explored the different experimental techniques used to study the protein's interaction with sugar molecules. This knowledge can be applied to other proteins and cellular processes, helping us better understand how cells transport molecules across their membranes.

Lesson: How to Choose the Right Car Paint Protection Product

Introduction:
Car paint protection is essential to keep your car's appearance looking shiny and new. There are many products available in the market that claim to provide excellent protection. However, not all products are created equal. In this lesson, we will learn how to choose the right car paint protection product that suits your needs best.

Section 1: Understanding Car Paint Protection

Topic 1: What is car paint protection?
Car paint protection is a process of applying a protective coating on the car's surface to prevent it from getting scratched, chipped, or damaged. This coating acts as a barrier between the car's paint and the environment, preventing dust, dirt, and other contaminants from damaging the paint.

Topic 2: Why is car paint protection necessary?
Car paint protection is necessary because the car's paint is susceptible to damage from everyday wear and tear. Over time, the paint can become scratched, chipped, or damaged due to exposure to the sun, harsh weather conditions, and other environmental factors. A protective coating can help prevent this damage and keep your car looking new for longer.

Section 2: Choosing the Right Car Paint Protection Product

Topic 1: Types of car paint protection products
There are two main types of car paint protection products:

a) Coatings: These are applied to the car's surface to create a protective barrier. They can be made from various materials such as ceramic, polymer, or silica.

b) Wraps: These are vinyl films that are applied to the car's surface to protect it from scratches, chips, and other damage.

Topic 2: Factors to consider when choosing a car paint protection product
When choosing a car paint protection product, you should consider the following factors:

a) Durability: The product should be durable and long-lasting to provide effective protection against damage.

b) Ease of application: The product should be easy to apply and remove, so you don't need any specialized training or equipment.

c) Cost: The product should be affordable and within your budget.

d) Compatibility: The product should be compatible with your car's paint and not cause any damage.

e) Reputation: The product should have a good reputation and positive reviews from other customers.

Section 3: Applying Car Paint Protection Products

Topic 1: How to apply a coating
To apply a coating, follow these steps:

a) Clean the car's surface thoroughly to remove any dirt, dust, or debris.

b) Sand the surface to create a smooth and even surface for the coating to adhere to.

c) Apply the coating to the car's surface using a brush or spray gun.

d) Allow the coating to dry completely before applying it to the rest of the car's surface.

Topic 2: How to apply a wrap
To apply a wrap, follow these steps:

a) Clean the car's surface thoroughly to remove any dirt, dust, or debris.

b) Apply the wrap to the car's surface using a squeegee or a plastic card.

c) Smooth out any air bubbles or wrinkles in the wrap using a heat gun or a hair dryer.

d) Trim any excess wrap around the edges of the car's surface.

Section 4: Conclusion
In conclusion, choosing the right car paint protection product is essential to keep your car looking new and shiny for longer. When selecting a product, consider its durability, ease of application, cost, compatibility, and reputation. By following the steps outlined in this lesson, you can apply the product effectively and achieve optimal results. Remember to always use caution when applying any product to your car's surface and read the instructions carefully.

Marco Rubio Targets Big Government in SOTU Response

Feb. 12, 2013

Page 2 of 2

One of the most poignant moments of Obama's State of the Union address came when he spoke about the Newtown shooting victims and called for smart gun laws. While Rubio also took a moment to pay tribute to the victims, he cautioned against placing too many restrictions on gun owners.

"We must effectively deal with the rise of violence in our country," he said. "But unconstitutionally undermining the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans is not the way to do it."

Did he succeed in presenting a vision of his party as more than just the realm of older, white men? That much remains up to the voters, and it will take more than one speech, but he delivered the Republican response with confidence.

"Now, let that hope bring us together again," he concluded with a smile, "to solve the challenges of our time and write the next chapter in the amazing story of the greatest nation man has ever known."

Q:

Can Hela be killed?

Throughout the whole film Thor: Ragnarok, Hela was shown to be remarkably powerful. Decimating Asgard's army, Loki, and Thor, she has proven herself as being one the best villains in the MCU. With that being said, there were several occasions on which she should have been seriously injured but to no avail. She was thrust through by one of the Einherjar, thrust through by Valkyrie, and also hit by a very powerful lightning bolt from Thor. All of these seemed to have no effect on her.
So this leaves the question to be asked. Can Hela be killed?

A:

One very important plot point in Thor:Ragnarok is that Hela draws her power from Asgard itself. Odin's life-force kept her imprisoned temporarily, but he never actually killed her. Once Odin died, she was released, and became progressively more powerful the longer she stayed on Asgard.
As you could see from the first scene where Loki and Thor meet her, her costume appeared torn, but once she arrived in Asgard, the tears sealed up and she presumably healed from any wound she had received. So the main thing about her that made her so difficult to kill was that the longer she stayed on Asgard, the more powerful she became, so when Thor hit her with 'the biggest lightning bolt in the history of lightning', she was relatively unscathed.
However, that was why Thor and Loki realised they had to free Surtur to destroy Asgard in the end, and also why Hela said "No!" when she saw Surtur emerge. She then battled him for a bit before he completely destroyed Asgard. It stands to reason that once her source of power was destroyed, Hela would lose much of her power.
Of course, it would still be difficult to kill her. My guess is that with her main source of power gone, she would only be comparable to Loki, who emerged generally ok after getting beat up by the Hulk. But there's no reason that she can't be killed. Especially since Asgard is now gone.
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if she is dead. Blown up along with Asgard.

textbook:
# Lesson: Can Hela be Killed?

## Introduction

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Hela is portrayed as one of the most powerful villains. She was able to defeat Thor, Loki, and the Asgardian army with ease. Throughout the movie Thor: Ragnarok, she shows her strength and power, making people wonder if she can be killed. In this lesson, we will explore if Hela can be killed and how her power works.

## Section 1: Understanding Hela's Power

Hela's power comes from her status as the goddess of death. She is able to control and manipulate death itself, making her an extremely dangerous opponent. Her power is derived from Asgard, which means that as long as Asgard exists, she will continue to grow stronger. This is why Odin was able to imprison her for so long - because he was the only one powerful enough to hold her back.

However, when Odin died, Hela was released from her imprisonment and became even more powerful. Her costume was torn when she first appeared, but once she arrived in Asgard, it was repaired and restored to its full glory. This shows that her power is tied to Asgard and its people.

## Section 2: Hela's Immortality

Hela is technically immortal, as she cannot be killed by conventional means. She has lived for centuries and has been shown to be able to survive injuries that would kill a mortal. However, she can still be defeated if her connection to Asgard is severed.

In the final battle of Thor: Ragnarok, Thor uses the power of Mjolnir to destroy Asgard. This destroys Hela's source of power and weakens her significantly. Without Asgard, Hela loses her immortality and becomes vulnerable to attack.

## Section 3: Defeating Hela

Although Hela is a powerful villain, she can be defeated. The key to defeating her is to sever her connection to Asgard. This can be done by destroying Asgard itself or by finding a way to weaken her hold on it.

One possible way to defeat Hela is to use the Eternal Flame, which is the source of Odin's power. By transferring the flame to someone else, Hela's power over Asgard would be broken and she would lose her immortality.

Another option would be to use the power of the Bifrost, which is the bridge between Asgard and Earth. By destroying the Bifrost, Hela would be cut off from her source of power and would be vulnerable to attack.

## Conclusion

In conclusion, Hela can be killed, but it requires a significant effort. Her power comes from her connection to Asgard, and by severing that connection, she can be defeated. While she is a formidable opponent, her weakness can be exploited through the use of powerful artifacts like the Eternal Flame or the Bifrost.

**Lesson: Leading Change in the Church**

**Introduction**

Change is inevitable in any organization, including the church. As a leader, it's essential to know how to lead your church through change intentionally and patiently. In this lesson, we will explore the importance of leading change in the church and discuss strategies for doing so effectively.

**Section 1: Why Lead Change in the Church?**

The church is a living organism that must adapt to its environment to survive. Leading change in the church is essential for several reasons:

1. To remain relevant: The world around us is constantly changing, and if the church doesn't adapt, it risks becoming irrelevant to its members and the community it serves.

2. To reach new generations: As new generations enter the church, it's crucial to adapt to their needs and preferences to keep them engaged.

3. To overcome challenges: Changes in the external environment, such as economic downturns or shifting cultural values, can pose challenges to the church. Leading change can help the church overcome these challenges and emerge stronger.

4. To fulfill the Great Commission: The church exists to share the gospel with the world. Leading change can help the church reach more people with the good news of Jesus Christ.

**Section 2: Strategies for Leading Change in the Church**

1. Communicate clearly and often: Effective communication is key when leading change in the church. Explain why the change is necessary, what it entails, and how it will benefit the church. Communicate frequently to keep members informed and address their concerns.

2. Involve the congregation: Engaging the congregation in the change process can help them feel more invested in the outcome. Encourage feedback, ideas, and participation in the decision-making process.

3. Lead by example: As a leader, it's essential to model the behavior you want to see in others. Lead with humility, patience, and grace, and demonstrate a willingness to learn and adapt.

4. Be patient: Change takes time, and it's essential to be patient throughout the process. Resist the urge to rush things, as this can lead to confusion, frustration, and even failure.

5. Celebrate successes: As the church goes through the change process, celebrate small victories along the way. This will help maintain momentum and keep members motivated and engaged.

**Section 3: Real-World Examples**

1. A church that has been declining in attendance decides to launch a new worship service targeted at millennials. The church communicates clearly with its members, involving them in the planning process and making adjustments based on their feedback. They also ensure that the new service is led by a dynamic young pastor who can connect with the younger generation.

2. A church that has been struggling financially decides to launch a capital campaign to raise funds for much-needed repairs and renovations. The church communicates transparently about the financial situation and the need for the campaign.

Lesson: Understanding Football Contract Negotiations

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about football contract negotiations and how they work. We will cover the following topics:

1. What are football contract negotiations?
2. Why do football teams negotiate contracts?
3. How do football contract negotiations work?
4. What happens when negotiations break down?
5. What are some common strategies used in football contract negotiations?
6. How can you apply your knowledge of football contract negotiations to real-world situations?

Section 1: What are football contract negotiations?
Football contract negotiations refer to the process of discussing and agreeing upon the terms and conditions of a player's employment contract with a football team. These negotiations involve the player, the team, and their respective agents or representatives.

Section 2: Why do football teams negotiate contracts?
Football teams negotiate contracts to ensure they have the best possible roster to compete for championships. They want to sign talented players while also staying within their budget and salary cap limits. Negotiations allow teams to evaluate a player's value and determine whether it's worth paying them a certain amount of money.

Section 3: How do football contract negotiations work?
Football contract negotiations typically begin with an offer from the team to the player. This offer may include the amount of money the player will be paid, the length of the contract, and any bonuses or incentives. The player and their agent may counteroffer, and the two sides will continue to negotiate until they reach an agreement.

Section 4: What happens when negotiations break down?
If negotiations break down, it means that the player and the team cannot agree on the terms of the contract. This can happen for many reasons, such as the player believing they are worth more money or the team not wanting to pay the player as much as they are asking for. In this case, the player may decide to sign with another team or the team may decide to move on without them.

Section 5: What are some common strategies used in football contract negotiations?
Some common strategies used in football contract negotiations include:

1. Leverage: Players may use leverage to their advantage by threatening to sign with another team if their current team does not meet their demands.
2. Comparables: Teams may use comparables, or other players in similar positions, to justify their offers to a player.
3. Risk management: Both players and teams must consider the risks involved in signing a contract. For example, a player may want to ensure that their contract includes language protecting them in case of injury.

Section 6: How can you apply your knowledge of football contract negotiations to real-world situations?
Understanding football contract negotiations can help you in many real-world situations, such as:

1. Negotiating your own employment contract
2. Understanding the value of players in trades or free agency
3. Analyzing sports news stories that involve contract negotiations

Glossary:
- Salary cap: The maximum amount of money a team can spend on player contracts in a given year.
- Agent: A person who represents a player in contract negotiations and helps them make decisions about their career.
- Bonus: A payment made to a player upon reaching certain performance milestones.
- Incentives: Additional payments a player can earn based on their performance.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about the process of football contract negotiations and how they work. We also explored some common strategies used in these negotiations and how they can be applied to real-world situations. By understanding the nuances of football contract negotiations, we can better analyze sports news and make informed decisions about our own careers.

Title: Introduction to Fermentation

## Chapter 1: What is Fermentation?
Fermentation is a metabolic process that converts carbohydrates into alcohol or other molecules, such as lactic acid or acetic acid. It is used to produce a wide range of foods and beverages, including yogurt, cheese, bread, beer, and wine. Fermentation is also used in the production of biofuels, antibiotics, and other industrial products.

## Chapter 2: Why is Fermentation Important?
Fermentation is important because it allows us to create foods and beverages that are rich in nutrients and flavor. It is also a sustainable way to produce food, as it requires fewer resources than traditional cooking methods. Fermentation can also help preserve food and improve its shelf life.

## Chapter 3: How does Fermentation Work?
Fermentation occurs when microorganisms, such as bacteria or yeast, break down carbohydrates in food. These microorganisms produce enzymes that convert sugars into alcohol or other molecules. This process can occur naturally or be induced through the addition of starter cultures or other ingredients.

## Chapter 4: Types of Fermentation
There are two main types of fermentation: alcoholic and lactic acid. Alcoholic fermentation produces alcohol and carbon dioxide, while lactic acid fermentation produces lactic acid. Both types of fermentation can occur spontaneously or be induced through the addition of starter cultures or other ingredients.

## Chapter 5: Examples of Fermented Foods
Examples of fermented foods include yogurt, kimchi, sauerkraut, sourdough bread, and beer. These foods are rich in probiotics, which are beneficial bacteria that support digestive health.

## Chapter 6: Conclusion
Fermentation is an ancient process that has been used for centuries to create delicious and nutritious foods. By understanding the science behind fermentation, we can appreciate the importance of this process in our daily lives and apply it to new problems.


text: I'm posting a few collages from a book-in-progress (working title: "Early Lessons"). Backgrounds are enlargements of old photochrom postcards made in the late 1800's. The photochroms are beautifully colored and detailed, made from a process involving the transfer of black and white photographic negatives to lithographic printing plates. Hundreds of thousands of these lovely postcards were sold and collected after Congress passed the 1898 Private Mailing Act allowing cards to be sent for 1 cent, half of the going rate for a letter at that time. The collaged elements are cuttings of pictures and text from a tattered old beginning reader published in 1948, adding a delightfully demented dimension to the beautiful old photochroms.
