This ensures that your rice cooks evenly and makes the risotto creamyįry the onion in some olive oil for 5-10mins until softĪdd the rice, dried herbs and garlic and fry for a couple of mins ![]() The key to a good risotto is keeping your stock hot, so keep the pan on a low heat next to your risotto pan. Make the stock in a saucepan and add the bay leaves. Once it’s a nicely charred, transfer to a bowl and set aside Cut along the quarters to remove some of the watery, centre seedy part, then chop the remaining courgette into chunksįry the courgette & leek in some olive oil on a high heat Chop into half moonsĬut the courgette lengthways and then chop these halves lengthways again so you’ve got 4 long quarters. Lima beans are a very good source of the trace mineral manganese, helps enzymes important for energy production and antioxidant defense.Split the leek lengthways and fan out the layers under running water to wash away any dirt. Iron is an integral component of hemoglobin, which transports oxygen from the lungs to all body cells, and is also part of key enzyme systems for energy production and metabolism. When enough magnesium is around, veins and arteries relax, which reduces resistance and improves the flow of blood, oxygen and nutrients throughout the body.Īpart from providing slow burning complex carbohydrates, lima beans can increase your energy by helping to restore more iron.įor menstruating women, who are more at risk for iron deficiency, lima beans can be added for iron. Lima's magnesium content is a calcium channel blocker. Elevated blood levels of homocysteine are an independent risk factor for heart attack, stroke, or peripheral vascular disease. Folate lowers levels of homocysteine, an amino acid that is an intermediate product in an important metabolic process called the methylation cycle. Lima promotes healthy heart because of its folate and magnesium. Lima beans help prevent heart disease, since eating high fiber foods, such as lima beans reduces cholesterol level. Lima beans also has insoluble fiber, which prevents constipation, digestive disorders, irritable bowel syndrome and diverticulitis. Fiber is not absorbed by intestine and it exits the body taking the bile acids with it. Fiber binds with the bile acids that are used to make cholesterol. The fiber is also the reason for the cholesterol lowering function of beans. Soluble fiber absorbs water in the stomach forming a gel that slows down the metabolism of the bean's carbohydrates. This is due to the presence of higher amounts of absorption-slowing protein in the beans, and their high soluble fiber content. Lima beans are high in dietary fibers, which means that blood sugar does not rise high after eating beans. Sulfites are a type of preservative generally added to prepared foods. Lima beans have the trace mineral molybdenum, an integral component of the enzyme sulfite oxidase, and it detoxifies sulfites. Lima beans may reduce the medical dosage needed to combat cholesterol in the form of natural food. Lima beans can help balance blood sugar levels while providing steady, slow-burning energy. It is a good choice for people with diabetes suffering with insulin resistance. It lowers cholesterol and its high fibre content prevents blood sugar levels from rising too rapidly after a meal, while providing virtually fat free high quality protein. Like many other legumes, Lima beans are a good source of cholesterol-lowering fibre. Giant Speckled/Christmas/Speckled Calico, 78 days Lima beans typically yield 2900 to 5000 kilograms of seed and 3000 to 8000 kilograms of biomass per hectare. White seeds are common, but black, red, orange and variously mottled seeds are also known. In most varieties the seeds are quite flat, but in the "potato" varieties the shape approaches spherical. The mature seeds are 1 to 3 cm long and oval to kidney shaped. The bush varieties mature earlier than the pole varieties. In areas where both are considered to be lima beans, the green variety may be labeled as "baby" (and less commonly "junior") limas.īoth bush and pole (vine) varieties exist, the latter from one to four meters in height. In culinary use, lima beans and butter beans are distinctly different, the former being small and green, the latter large and yellow. In the United Kingdom, "butter beans" refer to either dried beans which can be purchased to re-hydrate or the canned variety which are ready to use. In that area, lima beans and butter beans are seen as two distinct types of beans. In the Southern United States the Sieva type are traditionally called butter beans, also otherwise known as the Dixie or Henderson type. ![]() The term butter bean is widely used for a large, flat and white variety of lima bean ( P.

Chicka chicka boom boom birthday party9/13/2023 ![]() Can you guess which of those Mommy picked? Definitely 2 (Elephants and Chicka Chicka Boom Boom), sort of 3. We’ve done: Elephants/ Pink & Green Jungle, Elmo, Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, Rapunzel, Disney Princess, Frozen, Barbie, and Shopkins. Stay away from them! It’s a little hard when so many parties revolve around these fancy characters (easpecially when your child is old enough to realize they can voice their opinion about what kind of party is thrown). This is probably intuitive, but those characters your child likes? They cost about three times as much as other party things. Birthday Party Tip #3: Avoid Licensed Products If they don’t, well, maybe a party isn’t needed after-all and cupcakes with family would work better. If they really want a birthday party, then they won’t mind having it as part of their birthday present. Maybe a overnight getaway or a day trip to somewhere fun!) (Or consider doing something in lieu of a party. It is OK to have the birthday party be part of their birthday present. Are you OK with that decision?”) Having a budget also holds YOU accountable. (“If you want a pinata and candy, that means we can only have juice and crackers as snacks. When your child gets older they can also help with the decisions. If you have a budget, you can make better, smarter choices when shopping for party supplies. You can create a cute party using easy decorations or even things that you already have! Birthday Party Tip #2: Stick to a Budget (and think of the party like a present) The less you have to worry about, the more fun YOU will be able to have at the party and the better job you can do being hostess. This is your child’s birthday party, not their wedding. Resolve right now that you will keep things in perspective. We just celebrated our daughter’s eighth birthday and I’ve learned a couple things through the years that I wanted to pass along to you: Budget Friendly Birthday Party Tipsīirthday Party Tip #1: Keep things Simple When it gets much more than that, it can become a little overwhelming, especially for mama. ![]() ![]() But, when all is said and done, all she really wants is cake, singing “Happy Birthday,” and seeing a few friends and family. Sure, she loves all the fanfare and opening the presents (what kid wouldn’t like that?!). I have realized that she is just as excited over a small party as she is with a big one. And you know what? My kid doesn’t need it! (Gasp!) Nor can I justify the cost of an expensive party. I don’t know about you, but I don’t have a lot of extra money just lying around with no intended purpose. And once it’s near, sheer excitement fills your home. As a mom it definitely comes around faster that you would like (although some days leading up to it can seem soooo long). Typing hand placement9/13/2023 This is known as tendonitis and can result in throbbing, stiffness, weakness, cramping and a dull ache at the wrist (source). When typing for a prolonged period, the tendons in your wrists move back and forth, causing friction and therefore microtrauma in the wrist. Long periods of working at a computer in a non-ergonomic typing position can result in repetitive strain injury, which has the following symptoms:- Aches and pains- Persistently cold hands, especially the fingertips- Weakness and numbness in the arms and/or hands- Swelling or tingling Wrist Strain Once the median nerve has been damaged by carpal tunnel it can take a long time to heal, which stresses the importance of taking the appropriate measures to prevent any further injury (source).
Broken age shay questions9/13/2023 ![]() The TTAGGG repeats shorten with each cell division due to the “end replication problem” ( 25, 26), oxidative damage, and other still poorly understood end-processing events. The shelterin complex protects chromosomes from end-to-end fusions and degradation by forming special t-loop like structures ( 24), thus masking the very ends of chromosomes from being recognized as double-strand DNA breaks. Telomeres in mammals consist of long tracts of the hexameric TTAGGG nucleotide repeat and an associated protein complex, termed shelterin ( 22– 23). While the importance of telomeres has been recognized for a long time ( 18– 19), the DNA sequence of telomeres was somewhat more recent ( 20– 21). ![]() Telomerase is a cellular reverse transcriptase (molecular motor) that adds new DNA onto the telomeres that are located at the ends of chromosomes ( 1, 15– 17). While normal cells with or without telomerase activity are not transformed, in the background of additional oncogenic changes, normal cells not only upregulate or reactivate telomerase but can become fully malignant. Ectopically expressing just the catalytic subunit (TERT) of the telomerase holoenzyme complex is sufficient to maintain telomere length and immortalize normal cells. In the absence of a mechanism to maintain telomeres, cells eventually undergo replicative senescence (aging). Most human tumors (85–90%) not only constitutively express telomerase ( 2) but also have short telomeres, whereas telomerase activity is absent in most normal tissues or is highly regulated in normal transit amplifying stem-like cells, making the inhibition of telomerase an attractive target for cancer therapeutics ( 2).Īll somatic normal human cells display progressive telomere shortening with increased cell divisions. It is well recognized that telomeres progressively shorten with increased age in vitro and in vivo, ( 7– 14) and, in combination with a series of oncogenic changes, cells with short telomeres escape senescence and become immortal ( Figure 1), generally by activating or upregulating telomerase. Almost a decade later telomerase was described as an almost universal marker in advanced human cancers ( 2, 3), but it was not until 1997 that the catalytic protein component was isolated first in yeast ( 4) and shortly thereafter in humans ( 5, 6). Telomere terminal transferase (telomerase) enzyme activity (not the identification of the genes involved in telomerase) was discovered in 1985 in the single cell organism, Tetrahymena ( 1).

Each track corresponded to a level in the game: "Courtesy" was used on the Hexagon level, "Otis" on the Hexagoner level, and "Focus" on the Hexagonest level. The soundtrack again included the track "Courtesy", as well as "Focus" from Chipzel's previous album Phonetic Symphony and a new track titled "Otis". ![]() Chipzel happily obliged, and created a three-track chiptune soundtrack that was subsequently released as Super Hexagon EP. Frank stated that, when a game like Super Hexagon is almost entirely created by a single person, it can become a very personal piece of work "a product of thousands of tiny decisions, and every one is the reflection of the person who made it, what they're like, and what they think about." Music Super HexagonĪfter Cavanagh used Chipzel's track "Courtesy" in the original Hexagon game, he again sought to use her music in the full game Super Hexagon. Cavanagh had intended to use a professional voice actor, but did not like their results and returned to Frank, the voice of Hexagon, to reprise the role. Super Hexagon is voiced by journalist Jenn Frank. Cavanagh found that anyone could beat the game once they get better reflexes and a better understanding of the game's mechanics. During the development of the game, Cavanagh made various changes based on "what felt good", before starting the beta testing process. Over the course of developing Super Hexagon, Cavanagh had played through it a large amount of time, becoming particularly experienced with the mechanics. The visuals of Super Hexagon are barely different from its original Hexagon iteration. ![]() Cavanagh has stated that he is "not much of a visual artist," thus settling on a minimal look quickly. As the game's designer Terry Cavanagh saw potential in the project, he decided to increase the game's difficulty and expand upon its concept. Super Hexagon started off as a smaller game prototype titled Hexagon, made and released in one day for the late February 2012 game jam Pirate Kart V. Additional, "Hyper" difficulty stages can be unlocked by surviving for over sixty seconds on a level. The game contains six different difficulty levels, beginning at hard (Hexagon), harder (Hexagoner), and hardest (Hexagonest). The pace of the game progressively gets more difficult the longer the player has survived and to distract players, the game features a chiptune soundtrack, a background that regularly changes color, and walls that occasionally change direction. The controls are simple: the player must pivot the triangle to the opening in order to survive. Super Hexagon is a fast-paced twitch game in which the player controls a triangle on a hexagonal grid in the center while walls come from the edges of the screen.
