Arborglyphs Research Paper
A Forest of Arborglyphs
Could you imagine going a day without your phone? How about a week? Imagine months on end
with no communication with the outside world. This was a commonality for Basque sheepherders in
Idaho throughout the twentieth century.
Often situated in remote areas, these herders refused to let loneliness get the best of them. Their
thirst for interaction can be seen in unique tree carvings found throughout Idaho, known as
arborglyphs. The names, drawings, thoughts, and simple "hellos" of these migrating sheepherders
can be found on aspens in many regions.
Many people venture through the Gem State's wilderness in search of the arborglyphs left behind by
these nomadic Basque men. Nature is calling, journey through central ... Show more content on

At one point in time, these regions were much more remote and harder to reach. In fact, the Basque
sheepherders were integral in establishing trail systems in central Idaho's backcountry. If you look at
many of the names of backcountry trails in the central region, they are often just called "sheep trail,"
I take one into a place I hunt every year.

Scattered amongst the trees are the legacies of Basque men, each etching is different from the last.
Some left only a name or initials, some carved simplistic drawings to pass the time, and others
voiced political and cultural frustrations. Sayings such as, "Gora ETA," roughly translated as, "Long
Live ETA," (a Basque separatist group) can be found throughout the Boise National Forest.

Others too, have begun to add to the already historic tradition. Newer carvings can be seen when
exploring the Boise National Forest and Wood River Trail system. These carvings tend to be lighter

Gluten-Free Diet Research Paper
skimp on it when you are transitioning to a gluten–free diet. Just make sure to choose healthy
monounsaturated fats that are full of omega–3 fatty acids. Good sources of healthy fat include
avocadoes and avocado oil; coconut, coconut milk, coconut cream, coconut oil, and coconut butter;
nuts and seeds (al– monds, walnuts, hazelnuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, and so on); and nut and

Needs Giving Rise
The proponents decided to open the business in Antipolo City because they notice that they have
much cheaper permits to operate the business and the Minimum Wage is a lot lower than those of
the NCR area.
The researchers are fond of eating both cashew nut and bread; this is the reason why they came up
with the idea of incorporating the two ingredients together making a remarkable new product. They
thought this kind of product is not yet available to the market and making it will be a great
investment. They will be the pioneer in introducing CASHEW BREAD in the market. And they
want to present the product to a place known to be one of the main suppliers of cashew nut and one
of the fastest growing cities in the Philippines, Antipolo City.

Costco may have awesome pizza, happy employees and heaps of cheap, wholesale products, but
they also sell poison. That's right, amongst the miles of shelf space selling your favorite goods are

everyone's favorite pasta sauce comes from poison. As a member of the nightshade family, tomatoes
have glycoalkaloids. These are natural pesticides produced by nightshades and are known to be
toxic. By studying mice, it would take 227 mg of the toxin per pound to create a lethal dose. Seeing
as there are 2.3 mg/lb of toxin in a ripe tomato, it would take 15,000 pounds of tomatoes to kill a

The cashew is not a real nut. True nuts, like hazelnuts, from a hard wall around the seed. Not
Cashews. Cashews have a lining around the seed that is filled with a toxic fluid. This is the same
fluid found in poison ivy and sumac, which are relatives of the cashew. Costco probably doesn't sell
shelled cashews, but be on the lookout just in case. 4. ALMONDS Yes, even this supposed
"superfood" can cause us harm. Like cashews, almonds are not nuts. They are seeds. If they are not
introduced to some kind of heat source, almonds are extremely poisonous. These seeds are chock
full of cyanide. For this reason, many countries make it illegal to sell almonds that have not been
processed. Check the label at Costco and most likely, you will find that they have been heat treated.
5. APPLES They say an apple a day will keep the doctor away, but actually, it might bring you two
closer than you'd like. Technically, this fruit you can find at Costco and any supermarket is not bad
for you. It's the seeds that contain ridiculous amounts of poison. Just the seeds from one apple won't

The Economic Impacts Of Fast Food And Unhealthy Food Prices
Today's food prices are so outrageous. Over the years food has gone through so many changes.
Everyone used to be able to eat healthier, but then because of genetically modified organisms
(GMO) , monosodium glutamate (MSG), and other food that was tainted by chemicals and made
into junk, have taken over our stores. Today there are so many fast food restaurants that can cost up
to three dollars a burger. Everyone is getting unhealthy in so many ways. The government wants
everyone to be healthier, and to have a certain weight depending on their height and age. Lots of
people struggle to lose any weight, because of the healthy food prices. There are so many people out
there in the world that struggle with getting healthy things to eat, but there are some people that just
do not like some of the healthy foods, so there will still be some people who will go with the
unhealthy stuff but there is more of a chance that more people will go for the healthier stuff instead
of only what they could afford to get. The government had raised prices on healthy foods because
they are so hard to get now a days, because they have to go through a lot of things to be sold, but if
the government wants people to be healthier, and to have a good weight they need to stop having
such high prices, The unhealthy foods are usually imported from other countries at a lower price, so
our government makes a profit when people buy them. At our farms we use lots of deadly chemicals

Advantage And Disadvantages Of Cardanol
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES
Recently developed wide range of innovative monomers and prepolymers starting from cardanol, a
renewable and low cost industrial grade oil obtained by vacuum distillation of Cashew nut shell
liquid (CNSL), extracted from the Cashew nuts. CNSL is a byproduct of the cashew industry. The
nut has a shell of about 3.2 mm thickness inside which is a soft honeycomb structure containing a
dark reddish brown viscous liquid. It is called the CNSL, which is the pericarp fluid of the cashew
nut.
In the search for the cost effective modern materials, CNSL and its products have a significant role
to play. Being renewable, it offers much advantage over synthetics. Recent research has shown that
the constituents of CNSL possess ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Dynamic mechanical analysis showed that increasing fiber content provides an improvement in the
rigidity of the composites. Cardanol modified resol reinforced nanoclay composite was prepared
and mechanical properties of the final composites were improved by doping a 6 wt% of nanoclay in

epoxy is a most suitable ratio (Nguyen et al 2007).
Developed Cardanol based epoxy resins, used in the formulation of thermosetting resins, by
blending with conventional epoxy resin, especially designed to compatible with conventional
bisphenol – A epoxy resin. These structures are liquid at room temperature and able to impart

OK that may be an exaggeration, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were true! Now I do not restrict or
ban any of these from my diet, but I do limit the frequency and the amount that I consume.
There are a few items that I have banned from my diet. The most noticeable improvements in my
diet came when I cut out sodas and sports drinks. There is so much sugar contained in the average
sized soda or sports drink, cutting those out permanently alone can make a huge difference in your
weight loss journey. I have cut out any fried, breaded meats. A good example of this would be KFC
chicken or fish from Long John Silvers. There are so many added calories and fat in the breading
and it contains very little nutritional value.
However, the major key factor in my diet is limiting items (instead of permanently banning them)
that will lead to weight gain. Probably the most limited item I consume is fried foods. One of my
favorite meals that I eat on a very limited basis is salt and pepper fried catfish (my southern roots
coming into play again). Normally when I get catfish, I have it baked or grill. Now I will admit, for
my birthday recently, I had a few pieces of salt and pepper fried catfish. The last time I indulged
myself with this meal was around five or six years ago, when I visited my first real casino in Biloxi.

Another example on how they strived for social involvement is they developed a cashew and Brazil
nuts ice cream flavor. By incorporating the cashew and Brazil nut it provided demand for the
harvestable tropical rainforest products, which was an alternative to cutting the trees down.
Even though Ben & Jerry were able to perform well on their objectives in their mission statement, at
times those same objectives did not always work together. At one point, Ben & Jerry were not
making a profit because they were unwilling to raise their prices, which the shareholders were
suffering. They feared they will lose customers. However, once prices were raised the business was
successful.
Since they wanted to assist in the community, they often times sacrificed profits for the greater
good. Ben & Jerry hired a bakery that did work for non–profit organizations, to produce brownies in
a large amount. Unfortunately the bakery was not able to handle the volume of work; therefore the
brownies were not done properly. Ben & Jerry were unable to send the shipment back since it would

But historically, some form of social insurance existed in Nigerian and Africa society long before
the introduction of the modern insurance in Nigeria (Osoka, 1992). These social schemes evolved
through the existence of extended family system and social associations such as age grades, and
other unions. The simplest form of the ‗social insurance' was practiced by means of providing cash
donations, materials or sometimes organized collective labour to assist members of extended family
and members of social or communal associations who suffer a mishap.
2. Lack of Knowledge of Insurance Culture: In a recent study of quality of life in developing
countries with reference to South Africa (Moller, 2004), income and social security (own wages,
ability to provide for family, insurance against illness/death and income in old age) have been
treated as one of the major indicators of quality of life. This standpoint stresses the significance of
insurance to human life. Ironically, insurance services seem not to have been so accepted
enthusiastically in developing countries. The abysmal level of insurance culture in developing
economies has attracted relative interests among researchers and practitioners alike. Risk has been
identified as a central fact of life in the rural areas of less–developed countries (Udry, 1994). Some

Peanut Butters History
Nut butters are deceptively easy to make, if you have a good food processor. The food processor
will do just about everything for you; you just assemble the ingredients and turn the machine on!
Peanut Butter
Peanut Butter is definitely the most popular of the nut butters. This is a somewhat strange fact since
the peanut isn't even a nut; it is actually a legume. Homemade peanut butter really only requires one
ingredient: roasted peanuts. Simply put the desired amount of peanuts into the work bowl of your
food processor fitted with a multipurpose blade. Turn the food processor on and process until it
reaches the desired consistency, scraping down the sides as needed. That's all you need to do for a
basic peanut butter.

It is extremely buttery without the addition of any extra oil. Place the cashews into the work bowl of

Pine Nut Butter
Pine nuts naturally have a buttery flavor and consistency, making them an excellent choice for a nut
butter. They require no extra oil to achieve a creamy texture. For optimal flavor, toast the pine nuts
in a dry pan over medium heat for two to three minutes. Transfer to the work bowl of your food
processor and process until done, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Salt to taste, if desired.
The Best Food Processor For Making Nut Butters
This is one of the more difficult tasks you can ask your food processor to do, even more so if you
are working with raw nuts or seeds. This type of job shouldn't be attempted with a cheap, poorly

The directors chosen camera technique, a simple two composition that progresses the scene a steady
pace, forces the audience to feel a part of the awkward exchange; obviously, a quality of film that
could not be as profoundly achieved through the narrative in the novel.
In addition to the benefits of camera techniques, the Coean brothers' add in subtleties that in
enhance the overall eerie feel of the scene, aspects that are not included in the novel. One of the
most well thought out and creative addition, is the hanging electrical wires on the back wall, just
behind the proprietor head. Unarguably, each one looks like nooses. No doubt, this inventive visual
enhancement was intentional and it most definitely heightens the aura of death in the scene.
Another technique not seen in the novel that serves to heighten the tension felt in the scene, is the
un–crinkling of the Chigurh's cashew wrapper. This seemingly simple aspect does wonders at
adding suspense to the scene and demonstrating the strain and uncomfortableness for the gas station
attendant and perhaps even the irritation of Chigurh. The excruciating, drawn out rustle of the
cashew wrapper also brings to the attention of the audience that this scene, like many others in film,
has no music; consequently, the only sounds are the tense dialogue and the exaggerated chewing of
Chigurh. The fact that the awkwardness can be felt throughout this

California, or the size of California, Nevada, and Arizona combined. The capital of Nigeria is Abuja.
Abuja replaced the former capital, Lagos in December 1991, because of its more central location,
among other reasons. Lagos still does remain Nigeria's commercial capital. (encyclopedia.com)

Brain Reflection
Whole grain is a great brain stimulator because it contains high percentage of folate.
Make sure you're eating a diet rich in whole grain breads, cereals, barley, popcorn, etc., because they
can boost your blood flow to the brain. Every organ in the body is dependent on blood flow...
especially the brain.
Wholegrain breads and cereals are rich in Vitamin B6, an important brain vitamin. Wheat germ
additionally contains memory–improving thiamine.
Nuts
Everything from the most common nuts – such as walnuts, hazelnuts, cashews and almonds – to the
more exotic seeds and nuts can clear up that "brain fog" and enable you to think clearer and are
positive mood enhancers.
2. Walnuts
Both literally and figuratively speaking, walnuts are "brain food". Physically the walnut looks a lot
like the human brain. The thin, outer green cover that is taken out before the walnuts are sold is
similar to the scalp. The hard shell of a walnut is like a skull. The thin sheet inside, with its paper–
like partitions between the two halves of the walnut, is like the membrane. The shape of the walnut
itself represents the human brain's two hemispheres. Walnuts are made up of 15 to 20 percent
protein and contain linoleic (omega–6 fatty acids) and alpha–linoleic acids (omega–3 fatty acids),
vitamin E and vitamin B6, making them an excellent source of nourishment for your nervous

Since the opening of China's doors to world trade in the late 90's, it has become an emerging super
power.
Hence, China may be a threat to India's current competitive position in the cashew nut production
because it is also capable to support cashew processing with its abundance of human resources,
low–wage rates, and possible training in the manual dexterity required in the premium cashew nut
production. China is currently engaging in new markets and providing cheap manual labor to other

Moreover, the current formulation of the European Union (EU) provides that its members eliminate

The Belly Diet
Would you think you could lose belly fat by eating fat? That just does not sound possible, or is it?
For all of you who are fighting the battle of the bulge, here are some foods to include in a diet to

Beans such as lima beans, kidney beans, chick peas and soybeans are ideal for this. However, baked
beans cannot be consumed while on this diet. Have a bowl of boiled beans, or as part of a salad
during dinner.

Washing your hands does not always help though and can make the problem even worse. It can
make it worse by spreading it and making the affected area worse. They have creams and ointments
that you can use to reduce the irritation and the scratching on the skin to help with the rash such as
calamine lotion but it only temporarily stops the itching and it can not cure the poison ivy rash.
Also, some people are allergic to the creams and ointments so they have to get a shot. Although you
can spread the rash by scratching, it is very hard because typically when the oil sinks into your skin
it is very difficult to make it spread on your skin. Even if you have blisters, it will not spread as
easily and it is very unlikely. If it seems like the rash is spreading it is probably still because your
body may still be reacting to the first exposure or you have touched an object exposed to the oil.
You can spread poison ivy on your skin by washing your hands. On occasion, normal soap and
water can cause the oil to spread making the affected area larger than it was before. This is because
the urushoil oil is very thick and resin like making it difficult to come off your hands. They have

For example, for the almonds, the experimental caloric content (Cal/g) is 0.006 Cal/g, trial 1, and

Calories per gram, 5.75 Cal/g. The reason why it is different is because of the heat loss. If there was
not heat loss than the Cal/g for each nuts would be closer to the labeled product. 2. Heat was lost on

steamed. It really went great with the sauce. Simply, I tried a chicken plate which I eat all the time
but with different spices and sauces. Something I was comfortable with that could bring new

Amir, the main character is a pashtun and his whole life he grew up surrounded by people who
believed that their race was more superior than a Hazra, which was race of his servant, Hassan.
Amir soon began to believe it himself and his actions were made based on what he believed. When
Amir and Hassan were talking, Hassan mentioned that he would do anything that Amir tells him to.
Which causes him to say, "'Eat dirt if I told you to,' I knew I was being cruel, like when I'd taunt him
if he didn't know some big word. But there was something fascinating – albeit in a sick way – about
teasing Hassan. Kind of like when we used to play insect torture. Except now, he was the ant and I
was holding the magnifying glass" (Hosseini 29–34). In this scene it already show's how Amir has
developed to be racist because of the influence of people around him. He's referencing Hassan to an
ant and him as a magnifying glass which implies that he thinks he's more superior. The meaning
behind to what Amir said is is that he has control over Hassan and that he has to obey all his orders.
Another example is when Amir and Hassan were on their way home from the kite tournament. They
crossed paths with Assef, the town bully. Amir witnesses Hassan screaming because of what Assef's
actions would be. Amir had thought to himself. "I had one last chance to make a decision. One final
opportunity to decide who I was going to be. I could step into that alley, stand up for Hassan – the
way he'd stood up for me all those times in the past – and accept whatever would happen to me. Or I
could run."In the end, I ran. (Hosseini 137–139). Amir knows that Hassan has always been there for
him no matter what. However Amir doesn't respond to the injustice that is being done. Amir tries to

  • 1. Arborglyphs Research Paper A Forest of Arborglyphs Could you imagine going a day without your phone? How about a week? Imagine months on end with no communication with the outside world. This was a commonality for Basque sheepherders in Idaho throughout the twentieth century. Often situated in remote areas, these herders refused to let loneliness get the best of them. Their thirst for interaction can be seen in unique tree carvings found throughout Idaho, known as arborglyphs. The names, drawings, thoughts, and simple "hellos" of these migrating sheepherders can be found on aspens in many regions. Many people venture through the Gem State's wilderness in search of the arborglyphs left behind by these nomadic Basque men. Nature is calling, journey through central ...

In fact, the Basque sheepherders were integral in establishing trail systems in central Idaho's backcountry. If you look at many of the names of backcountry trails in the central region, they are often just called "sheep trail," I take one into a place I hunt every year. (Insert image of arborglyph) Scattered amongst the trees are the legacies of Basque men, each etching is different from the last. Some left only a name or initials, some carved simplistic drawings to pass the time, and others voiced political and cultural frustrations. Sayings such as, "Gora ETA," roughly translated as, "Long Live ETA," (a Basque separatist group) can be found throughout the Boise National Forest. (Insert trail image of aspens) Others too, have begun to add to the already historic tradition. Newer carvings can be seen when exploring the Boise National Forest and Wood River Trail system.

That's right, amongst the miles of shelf space selling your favorite goods are pockets of poison. Here are five to look out for. 1.TOMATOES AT COSTCO That's right, everyone's favorite pasta sauce comes from poison. As a member of the nightshade family, tomatoes have glycoalkaloids. These are natural pesticides produced by nightshades and are known to be toxic. By studying mice, it would take 227 mg of the toxin per pound to create a lethal dose. Seeing as there are 2.3 mg/lb of toxin in a ripe tomato, it would take 15,000 pounds of tomatoes to kill a 150–pound mouse. 2. POTATOES Also, a member of the nightshade family, potatoes ...

Cashews have a lining around the seed that is filled with a toxic fluid. This is the same fluid found in poison ivy and sumac, which are relatives of the cashew. Costco probably doesn't sell shelled cashews, but be on the lookout just in case. 4. ALMONDS Yes, even this supposed "superfood" can cause us harm. Like cashews, almonds are not nuts. They are seeds. If they are not introduced to some kind of heat source, almonds are extremely poisonous. These seeds are chock full of cyanide. For this reason, many countries make it illegal to sell almonds that have not been processed. Check the label at Costco and most likely, you will find that they have been heat treated. 5. APPLES They say an apple a day will keep the doctor away, but actually, it might bring you two closer than you'd like. Technically, this fruit you can find at Costco and any supermarket is not bad for you. It's the seeds that contain ridiculous amounts of poison.

Everyone used to be able to eat healthier, but then because of genetically modified organisms (GMO) , monosodium glutamate (MSG), and other food that was tainted by chemicals and made into junk, have taken over our stores. Today there are so many fast food restaurants that can cost up to three dollars a burger. Everyone is getting unhealthy in so many ways. The government wants everyone to be healthier, and to have a certain weight depending on their height and age. Lots of people struggle to lose any weight, because of the healthy food prices. There are so many people out there in the world that struggle with getting healthy things to eat, but there are some people that just do not like some of the healthy foods, so there will still be some people who will go with the unhealthy stuff but there is more of a chance that more people will go for the healthier stuff instead of only what they could afford to get. The government had raised prices on healthy foods because they are so hard to get now a days, because they have to go through a lot of things to be sold, but if the government wants people to be healthier, and to have a good weight they need to stop having such high prices, The unhealthy foods are usually imported from other countries at a lower price, so our government makes a profit when people buy them.

Anyone who has known me for a long time will know that being overweight has never been a problem. Actually, it was the exact opposite for many years, but I will save that tale for another day.

Now I do not restrict or ban any of these from my diet, but I do limit the frequency and the amount that I consume. There are a few items that I have banned from my diet. The most noticeable improvements in my diet came when I cut out sodas and sports drinks. There is so much sugar contained in the average sized soda or sports drink, cutting those out permanently alone can make a huge difference in your weight loss journey. I have cut out any fried, breaded meats. A good example of this would be KFC chicken or fish from Long John Silvers. There are so many added calories and fat in the breading and it contains very little nutritional value. However, the major key factor in my diet is limiting items (instead of permanently banning them) that will lead to weight gain. Probably the most limited item I consume is fried foods. One of my favorite meals that I eat on a very limited basis is salt and pepper fried catfish (my southern roots coming into play again). Normally when I get catfish, I have it baked or grill. Now I will admit, for my birthday recently, I had a few pieces of salt and pepper fried catfish. The last time I indulged myself with this meal was around five or six years ago, when I visited my first real casino in Biloxi. I am a huge advocate of keeping sugar intake to a minimum.
