What is carnitine?
| null |
Carnitine is a quaternary ammonium compound involved in metabolism in most mammals, plants, and some bacteria. In support of energy metabolism, carnitine transports long-chain fatty acids into mitochondria to be oxidized for free energy production, and also participates in removing products of metabolism from cells. Given its key metabolic roles, carnitine is concentrated in tissues like skeletal and cardiac muscle that metabolize fatty acids as an energy source. Generally individuals, including strict vegetarians, synthesize enough L-carnitine in vivo.
Carnitine exists as one of two stereoisomers (the two enantiomers d-carnitine (S-(+)-) and l-carnitine (R-(β)-)). Both are biologically active, but only l-carnitine naturally occurs in animals, and d-carnitine is toxic as it inhibits the activity of the l-form. At room temperature, pure carnitine is a whiteish powder, and a water-soluble zwitterion with relatively low toxicity. Derived from amino acids, carnitine was first extracted from meat extracts in 1905, leading to its name from Latin, "caro/carnis" or flesh.
Some individuals with genetic or medical disorders (such as preterm infants) cannot make enough carnitine, requiring dietary supplementation. Despite common carnitine supplement consumption among athletes for improved exercise performance or recovery, there is insufficient high-quality clinical evidence to indicate it provides any benefit.

What are some creative ways to get my kids to eat vegetables?
| null |
Different vegetables have varying textures - try feeding your kids a variety of vegetables to see which textures they like and don't like.

If your kids have a hard time with all vegetables, you can sneak them into meals! For example, you can make some pasta sauce even more nutritious by blending carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, and other mild tasting vegetables into the sauce using a blender. Your kids will never know they were there because the strong tomato flavor masks the taste.

When combining the noise waveform and the inverted waveform their amplitude becomes zero and the noise feels like it is canceled.

How do I make good coffee?
| null |
Making good coffee depends on three key things. First, use good coffee beans that have been roasted within the last seven days. Then use a high-quality grinder so that the coffee grinds are consistent with the type of coffee you are making. Finally, use filtered water so that the flavor of the coffee is not overshadowed by any minerals in the water.

Why are windows not attached directly to the studs of a house?
| null |
When installing windows, it is important to remember that houses move over time. Whether from foundation settling, or swaying in the wind, houses are not totally stationary. As a consequence, if you were to attach a new window rigidly to wooden framing, the glass in the window, which is rigid and brittle, might experience cracking or warping. Additionally, the components of the window, such as the seals and hardware that allows the window to open and close, might break down. Window installers will use a combination of shims and flexible sealing materials such as caulk, along with proper flashing, vapor barriers, and siding to make sure windows are water and air tight, and will operate properly for many years into the future.

How do you build a roof?
| null |
Roofs are more complex than they look from the outside. Here are the basic steps to building a roof:
1. Build out the shape of the roof with a wood frame. This is the roof's skeleton.
2. Cover the frame with decking. Decking is the first layer of the roof. It's a thin piece of wood that all the other material will rest on.
3. Add an underlayment on top of the decking. This is a synthetic barrier that guards against water and fire, and helps the roof maintain its shape if the wood under it expands or contracts.
4. Add flashing around vertical elements on the roof. Flashing is a thin sheet of metal that prevents water from getting into gaps around vertical elements like chimneys and vents.
5. Apply shingles to the roof. Shingles are made of asphalt and they are the outermost layer of a roof. Shingles are the first line of defense in protecting your home, but they can also add color and design elements to your home.
