Should I get involved? I was frightened for my own safety, and cursed myself for having suddenly decided to take a new route home that night. What if I became another statistic? Shouldn't I just run to the nearest phone and call the police? Although it seemed like an eternity, the deliberations in my head had taken only seconds, but already the girl's cries were growing weaker. I knew I had to act fast. How could I walk away from this?
No, I finally resolved, I could not turn my back on the fate of this unknown woman, even if it meant risking my own life. I am not a brave man, nor am I athletic. I don't know where I found the moral courage and the physical strength--but once I had finally resolved to help the girl, I became strangely transformed. I ran behind the bushes and pulled the assailant off the woman. Grappling, we fell to the ground, where we wrestled for a few minutes until the attacker jumped up and escaped.
P | anting hard, I scrambled upright and approached the girl, who was crouched behind a tree, sobbing. In the darkness, I could barely see her outline, but I could certainly sense her trembling shock. Not wanting to frighten her further, I at first spoke to her from a distance.

He saw her pressed against the driver’s seat of her minivan, the one they used to share, and remembered the day at the dealership fondly. She was pregnant with their first child and the dealer had rambled about the safety of the babe, as if they didn’t already know this. Bert shook his head and stumbled towards the vehicle, immediately regretting dragging her from bed this late.

In presidential election years, the best quarter for stocks has been the third quarter. I looked at the S&P 500 index from 1928 to 2012. During this time frame, the S&P 500 increased an average of 1.23% during the third quarter. When only looking at presidential election years, this average return increases to 5.12%. For the fourth quarter, the average during election years is actually slightly less (1.97% vs. 2.55% in general).
Moreover, the economic picture is improving as well. After a dismal showing | during the second quarter, Friday's employment report seems to indicate that a rebound in job growth during the third quarter is possible.

(PhysOrg.com) -- A medication commonly prescribed as a muscle relaxant shows promise as a potential treatment for alcoholism, based on a study in rats by researchers at the Ernest Gallo Clinic and Research Center and the University of California, San Francisco.
Chlorzoxazone, an FDA-approved drug, significantly decreased alcohol consumption in a rat model of heavy drinking, said lead author Woody Hopf, PhD, an associate investigator at Gallo and an assistant adjunct professor of neurology at UCSF.
The study appeared online in Biological Psychiatry (Jan. 3, 2011).
Hopf and his colleagues found that, among rats that have been trained to drink large amounts of alcohol, chlorzoxazone activates the SK-type potassium channel in neurons, which makes the neurons less excitable. The drugs action takes place in the nucleus accumbens, a brain region that in both rodents and humans is part of the reward system that affects craving for alcohol and other addictive substances.
The ability of chlorzoxazone to reduce neuronal excitability is important, Hopf explained, because | the more excitable neurons in the nucleus accumbens are, the more they respond to the stimulation provided by alcohol, which in turn drives alcohol-seeking behavior.
Applying the results of his previous research to the current study, Hopf found that rats that habitually drink heavily have fewer SK channels in their neurons than rats without an alcohol habit. In the current study, Hopf demonstrated that when the rats remaining SK channels were activated, the excitability of the nucleus accumbens was turned down, and this, in turn, suppressed alcohol drinking in heavy-drinking rats.

Happy Veggie Kids: Nina! »
This is four-year-old Nina from Saxapahaw, NC with her pet hen Hedda! She is a super adorbs vegetarian. But she is not your average vegetarian as she only occasionally eats eggs from her adopted pet hens. Funny notes about the eggs from her mom: “She often cracks the eggs in the coop and feeds them right back to the girls. She also will school anyone who makes the mistake of offering her eggs from any other source; I think she gets a lot of enjoyment out of watching adults squirm when she explains fertilization and animal abuse to them in her squeaky four-year old voice.” I’d like to see that!
Another funny note from her mom (her mom is funny! She writes a blog! And has a recipe blog! Nina seems like quite a card too): “Nina calls herself “veggan” (her father and | I thought she meant a Vegan, as in from the planet Vega in that movie Contact, but we were wrong). She’s very bossy and if she hears you call her a vegetarian she will kick you in the shins. Nina was 100% vegan from birth until she was three and a half years old, when our rescued flock started laying eggs. Aside from an occasional egg from our hens, Nina is vegan in every other aspect of her diet and lifestyle.” Additionally, she’s hilarious and adorbs.

When I was in India for a brief stint, I was quite surprised looking at honey as a medicine.
The lodge that we were living in had a pretty old caretaker with a particularly mischievous grandchild.
As it was bound to happen to such mischievous children, he once came limping and crying with a pretty deep gash on his leg.
His grandmother, after the initial vocal drumming of ears, called for the nearby doctor and created a concoction of honey and some local herbs and rubbed it along the wound.
She told us naive foreigners that it was a kind of first aid that would stop bleeding and even be helpful in the curing of the wound. Of course, mind that she told, use it as a first aid medicine and not medicine itself for | the wound. And there was no cinnamon to be found in the mixture.
Due to publicized events such as these, recently, people all around the world have been airing the opinion that a mixture of cinnamon and honey is the miracle medicine that the human world has been searching for a long time.
But whether a mixture of cinnamon and honey is a scam or actually a miracle medicine is yet to be proved. We were quite intrigued by the happenings and we did a bit of our own research.

Tampa-based IT director guilty of using webcams to spy on female employees [Tampa Tribune, Fla.]
(Tampa Tribune (FL) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Nov. 09--TAMPA -- When women who worked for a national advertising firm noticed their computer web cameras appeared to turn on at unusual times, they notified their bosses.
It turns out the company's information technology director was using a software program to leer at the women in Atlanta from Tampa, where he worked.
On Thursday, the former IT director, Christopher Scott Channer, 34, pleaded guilty in Tampa to a federal charge of intercepting communications. Channer faces up to five years in prison, but he is likely to receive less under the terms of a plea agreement.
Channer told the FBI in February that he had activated a program called "Theft Tracker" on the computers of female | employees he found attractive. The program enables users to remotely obtain screen images of computers and activate web cameras in the event a computer is stolen.

I’m writing a novel.
People who know me yawn and say, so what else is new?
This isn’t the first time I’ve said “I’m writing a novel.” Over the years I’ve finished more than a dozen stories, most really awful, some pretty good, and while my name has topped the New York Times Bestseller’s List four or five times, none of those titles were mine.
My books are called, LOOT, A Fool’s Gold, Full Boat and A Fish Tale. The romances go by Locked Hearts, The Lunchbox, and Maybe.
Maybe I’ll get around to seeing them published someday. Pigs might fly first.
Writing the novel is the easy part. It’s getting one published that’s my kryptonite.
I can spit out a 120,000-word story in about six weeks. LOOT took me a little longer and I began to wonder why I could never finish the story when I was told a standard pocket paperback runs about 75,000 words tops.
LOOT topped out at 146,000 words and change.

FEMA assistance for Oklahoma

As far as kids are concerned, Bee Movie is a series of nice thoughts and clever jokes. The superb design and kinetic visual set pieces make it an eye-candy buffet, with some minor, very vaguely sexual humor and one minor pun on the Lord's name. Still, it's refreshingly free of bodily functions and pretty easy to watch.
For adults, Bee Movie (PG for mild suggestive humor) is a different story. The film follows Barry (Jerry Seinfeld), an insect with a lot on his mind-he's worried he won't be able to adjust to adult life, a fact that he confides in his buddy Adam (Matthew Broderick) with no small measure of anxiety. Seinfeld can't really act, so he's once again put himself in the same position that made his TV series a success: He doesn't have to act at all. Barry is an indecisive loser in a tight-knit, ethnically unified community that looks an awful lot like Manhattan. Sound like a creepy comparison? Don't shoot the messenger. There are a lot of excruciatingly uncomfortable ethnic metaphors here: Bees | are Jews, apparently, and wait... black people are mosquitoes? Seriously?
None of this is likely to upset or even register for kids, but if you're an adult living in a multiethnic community, you can be forgiven for squirming when Barry and Adam have a long conversation about dating inferior, non-"Bee-ish" females.

Giddiness is uncommon in a professional capacity, but that is a little bit how the authors feel at the end of a laborious and frustrating struggle to achieve formal recognition by the IETF of the "info" URI scheme.
The effort stretched nearly two and a half years and many episodes of frustration, angst, and ideological argumentation on both sides.
The "info" URI scheme is predicated on the notion that the current Web identifier architecture is incomplete, and will benefit from a commonly recognized mechanism that:
- acknowledges that sometimes it is useful to decouple identity and resolution,
- supports a mechanism for bringing legacy identifiers into Web-space without directly maintaining Web server infrastructure, and
- provides for simple registration of identifier namespaces that will benefit from a common registration and declaration mechanism.
There are well-known and respectable advocates on both sides of this issue, but their opinions and ideologies will have almost no impact on the success or failure of this informational standard. Certainly approval by the IETF in itself, while important, will not assure success. The only thing that really counts is uptake. Will "info" URIs attract the uptake | necessary to generate network effect benefits? Will it add enough value to become a useful and persistent part of Web infrastructure?
The answer is uncertain at this time, but there are reasons to be cautiously optimistic:

EASTON (AP) — Bryan K. Weaver came to Northampton County Court with no intention of pleading guilty to the road-rage incident he was charged with. He left a couple of hours later having done just that, saying he felt he was given no other choice.
It was Weaver’s first appearance at the courthouse in Easton on the charges, and he had yet to be assigned a public defender. But for Judge Leonard Zito, it was the day for Weaver and dozens of other defendants with relatively minor cases to resolve them as they were arraigned, the first step in the county court process and a formality in many courts.
The decision to plead guilty to a crime is a critical one that can have lasting impact on a | person’s life. But in Northampton County, defendants are encouraged — some say pressured — to do so at arraignment, a time before they have any right to see the evidence against them, and before their lawyers can file motions to contest the state’s case.

The HP Photosmart R817 will satisfy families looking for an easy-to-use point and shoot digital camera. With each iteration of HP's camera line the specifications improve and the user interface simplifies. This digital camera sports a 5 megapixel CCD, a 5x optical Pentax zoom lens, a large 2" LCD. The only downside is the usual (unfortunately) softness and noise present in images when zoomed. For the 4x6 printing crowd, the R817 will fit in a pocket of purse, zoom in on details, and never confuse the least competent photo taker.
The R817 has integrated the standard set of HP features and scene modes. HP has been steadily adding and refining its set of proprietary technologies to make digital photography easier and the odds of taking a high-quality photo greater. With the R817 you can expect:
When you look at the sum of these features, it's clear that one of HP's strategies is not to force the consumer to own a PC for | photo retouching and printing. It's an expense and a complexity many families don't want to deal with. By incorporating the most common editing features into the camera or the printer, HP can satisfy this segment of customers. However, if you are interested in storing and editing photos on a PC or Mac, the R817 comes with HP's weighty software install.

Said Issa, “This has continued to be frustrating that, as the Mexican government tells us publicly, they’re being kept in the dark, we can’t give them information from the Department of Justice. We can only give them information we’re getting from whistleblowers — and we’re getting a lot.”

WATCH: Editor in Chief on What Took Antigay Pastor Off Inaugural Program
BY Lucas Grindley
January 11 2013 1:08 PM ET
The swift rejection of an inaugural pastor's antigay record was a function of the political pressure wielded by LGBT Americans, according to The Advocate's Editor in Chief Matthew Breen, who was a guest on Current TV's The Young Turks.
Host Cenk Uyger asked how LGBT activists were so quickly successful at fighting the addition of pastor Louis Giglio to the inauguration program. He withdrew on Thursday after an antigay sermon was uncovered on Wednesday.
Breen pointed out the flow of cash that LGBT voters sent to President Obama's reelection campaign after he supporter marriage equality, and in response to being "the most pro-LGBT president we've ever had."
"That inspired a lot of fundraisers to really galvanize, to open pockets and wallets, that brought in a lot of money," Breen said.

Denise Devin deftly directs a fast-paced intermission-less HAMLET with authority and skill at Zombie Joe's Underground Theatre; a risk that pays off handsomely as the production explores one man's psychological descent into evil. Rafael Goldstein takes on the role of the Danish Prince in a performance that pulsates with such palpable intensity that when he says, "now could I drink hot blood /and do such bitter business, as the day /would quake to look on," we do not doubt for a moment that he is capable of unspeakable acts.
ZJ's intimate black box becomes the perfect contained chamber within which to examine Hamlet's mutation of the mind and Jennifer Holloway's lighting is quite literally all that separates the actors from the audience, mere inches away. Yes, there's action. People argue. People die. But watching Goldstein's face all but tremble in its stillness as a thousand thoughts flicker behind his eyes is one of the most intoxicating elements of this production and the reason you should make haste to see him in his first HAMLET.

Have you read any of the articles in the NY Times about the Russian art collector who saved Uzbek folk art and modern Russian art from destruction by collecting thousands of pieces for his museum? The museum was long unknown to most of the world, located as it was in a remote desert area of Uzbekistan (near the dried up Aral Sea), a region called the Republic of Karakalpakstan.
The first Times story, published in January 1998, is posted here. It stunned the art world. Igor Savitsky, who died in 1984, had seen the beauty of the modern art that was considered “degenerate” by Stalin and the post-Stalin Soviet Union. He tracked down artists and artists’ relatives and squirreled the works away in the desert museum.
Savitsky was sly and often got government functionaries to pay for an acquisition without their realizing what it was exactly. Many thought his museum housed only the ancient artifacts uncovered in state-sponsored Central Asia arche | ological digs.

Destroyers Hamilton and Russell left today on this short notice deployment. Many of the sailors have only been back for a few months and they were not expecting to ship out so soon. Family members say that makes this even harder to deal with.

Bachelor of Science degree
The UFV Bachelor of Science (BSc) is a program of academic study for students pursuing educational or career goals in the natural sciences. The program requirements encourage a breadth of intellectual and academic experience, and at the same time, recognize the importance of concentrated study in a specific field or discipline. The BSc may serve as an educational goal in itself, as qualification for those who wish to pursue advanced degrees at other educational institutions, or as a qualification for employment.
The BSc consists of a minimum of 120 credits. To receive a Bachelor of Science degree, students must, at a minimum, complete the requirements for at least one of a science honours, science major, or double science minor, in addition to the general BSc requirements.
With appropriate planning, the Bachelor of Science requirements can be completed in four years of full-time study. Because upper-level courses are offered on a limited basis, students should seek the help of a science advisor to plan their coursework in advance, in order to complete their degree in a timely manner. The choice of which courses are to be offered each year will be made with reference to the needs of students who have declared | their BSc major. Students staying for a longer period may wish to pursue the
Co-operative Education option. All graduation requirements must be completed within 10 years of initial entry to the program.

The Real Lion of Zion: Netanyahu Consolidates Power
Cross-posted from Mondoweiss.
The opposition party Kadima, which has the largest number of Knesset seats of any single Israeli political party, will join in a national unity government with second-seated Likud and its main partner, third-seated Yisrael Beiteinu. This creates a majority since among themselves these 3 main parties will control 70 out of 120 seats in the Knesset, and including smaller Likud coalition partners, this bloc could be up to 94 votes strong -- meaning they could easy institute new Basic Laws if they chose to do so.

Samsung has applied for a patent on an implantable medical device that can communicate physiological/pathological information with an "external device."
At last, an app to tell us when we're stressed, drunk, or asleep (states that typically occur in that order, at least for me).
Samsung envisions much more than just a pacemaker you connect to.

Desiree Foster, the youngest of the Santa Cruz Eleven, was arrested on February 8th as she and her boyfriend were leaving her home on her way to the Santa Cruz Courthouse in an attempt to quash her arrest warrant by agreeing to appear in court on a certain date. Instead, she spent the next nine hours sitting on plastic seating watching a deputy-controlled television set, having been arrested for two felony counts, conspiracy and vandalism, and two misdemeanor counts of trespass, with bail set at $5,000. Her mother, suffering from cancer, attempted to raise the $500 to bail out her daughter, when, inexplicably, Desiree was released on her own recognizance.
But the pressure of the felony charges, the financial instability of her family, and the fear and dread that she faced in dealing with her mother’s cancer, proved to be too much. Desiree took an overdose of pills and wound up in Dominican Hospital, treated for a suicide attempt.

The art component includes visual art and film. Art and film are essential components of this unit and are covered in several ways: using specific artists to introduce literature, using specific artists and films to present the themes covered in literature in a different way, and using art and film to highlight the themes of race and ethnicity. The artists themselves are of diverse racial backgrounds and their works reflect in different ways the Hispanic identity. A schematic chart is provided to enable Spanish teachers to adapt the sequence to the needs of their particular students. The sequence tracks the recommended authors for AP literature, includes background information of the authors' countries and cultures, and connects these authors to artists who reflect the three ethnicities that make up the Hispanic identity: Spanish, African, and Native American.
In order for all students to succeed in the AP course, the pre-AP course must be rigorous and preparatory.

GRETHEL — Brenda Akers knew the house in which up until recently she had been living was old, but it wasn’t until she began preparing to have it torn down over the weekend that she had any idea of how old it was.
As Akers and family members began stripping the walls over the weekend in preparation for demolition, they began to find newspaper and catalog pages lining the bare walls underneath, some dating back nearly a century.
In years past, when wallpaper was both expensive and difficult to come by, many Appalachian families would line their walls with whatever was handy. Often, that meant pages from a newspaper or farming catalog.
Though most of the pages were falling apart, several revealed that the papers were from a 1919 issue of the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Beck's main argument was that depression was instituted by one's view of oneself, instead of one having a negative view of oneself due to depression. This has large social implications of how we as a group perceive each other and relate our dissatisfactions with one another. Abela and D'Alessandro's (2002) study on college admissions is a good example of this phenomenon. In their study they found that the student's negative views about their future strongly controlled the interaction between dysfunctional attitudes and the increase in depressed mood. The research clearly backed up Beck's claim that those at risk for depression due to dysfunctional attitudes who did not get into their college of choice then doubted their futures, and these thoughts lead to symptoms of depression. Therefore, the students' self-perceptions became negative after failing to get into college, and many showed signs of depression due to this thinking. Other aspects of this study did not match up well with Beck. They elaborate: "As for participants' more enduring mood reactions | , our findings are incongruent with Beck's...theory.... Therefore, one possible explanation of discrepancies between these studies is that immediately following the occurrence of a negative event, cognitively vulnerable individuals show marked increases in depressed mood.

When you think about how people propose marriage, the thing that usually comes to mind is an emotional moment that is filled with romance. Even if the couple isn’t normally romantic, the proposal itself will naturally bring out a romantic atmosphere because you are putting yourself out there and asking a very vulnerable question.
But what happens when your partner is already a romantic person and you’ve done lots of romantic things for her in your relationship? Will a simple romantic gesture work or will a more grand marriage proposal idea have to do?
The answer really depends on your partner and your relationship but today we will be offering some suggestions for you in case you’ve done a lot of romantic things in your relationship and you feel that you may need to take it up a notch for your personal wedding proposal.

As mentioned the mountains are spoken as if they represents seven different kingdoms (nations) which have seven different kings. Which five have fallen (Egypt, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Seleucid) and that one is (Rome) and that the seventh when he comes to be only for a short time (kingdom of darkness/Abaddon).
Lets us also acknowledge that when the bible translate the word 'Melek'it means king, but thats not the case. Melek is to mean royality rather than king or kingship. As to note that the ten horns are ten kings (melek) which should been ten royalites that have no kingdom.

PETALUMA, Calif.--()--The following is a statement by the American Small Business League:
“And the diversion of federal small business contracts to large companies is a major problem for the economy. It is time for these abuses to end.”
The American Small Business League (ASBL) is calling on Congress and federal watchdogs to investigate government contracting officers and federal agencies that repeatedly fail to follow procurement regulations. This follows a report from the General Services Administration Office of Inspector General that found the GSA awarded a contract earmarked for a small business to a large business.
The GSA awarded the contract to Royal Productions for “Audio Visual Services” at the GSA’s now infamous Las Vegas team building conference, the 2010 Western Regions Conference (WRC). A GSA OIG report, followed by the release of a series of videos of GSA employees at the WRC, has | brought national attention to the unacceptable way the U.S. government spends taxpayer dollars.
The ASBL is requesting that the House Small Business Committee, the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, the Department of Justice and the Government Accountability Office investigate why contracting officers and federal agencies continue to award contracts earmarked for small businesses to large companies.

Came across this Article from SeriousPowerlifing.com Supercompensation thought it was interesting..
When humans train intensely and properly, their body goes through a number of stages before it adapts to a higher level of performance. The final stage of physical training is where the actual gains take place. The stage is rightfully referred to as supercompensation, which is a theory that encompasses the fourth stage of human fitness training. It is preceded by initial fitness, training, recovery, and finally supercompensation. During this period an individual will experience higher levels of performance capabilities in comparison to their previous cycle of training.
In order to reach this period of supercompensation, or increase in performance, the trainee must complete their recovery period. Not doing so can result in overtraining, and hinder the positive effects of supercompensation. Maxim | izing recovery can be complex,primarily due to the fact that different muscle groups have different periods of recovery. With that said, different muscles also require periods of different lengths to optimize supercompensation, and then the return to base fitness. Other various lurking variables exist, such as the fitness levels of the individual, thus a blanket method cannot be applied to all trainees | [

Alaczen Probiotic Thrush Protection Supplement Reviews
The vagina is the most sensitive part of a woman’s body. Therefore, proper care and attention should be given to this organ, as it is always prone to infection, one of them being vaginal thrush. Read Online Reviews Of Alaczen!
What is Vaginal Thrush?
Vaginal Thrush is a form of infection found in a woman’s vagina. Thrush or Candidias is a form of infection due to the Candida, a microorganism that thrives in the vagina.
Normally, Candida can survive harmlessly in the vagina, manifesting no signs of existence or infection. But, certain hormonal changes and an imbalance in the pH level of the vagina makes it possible for the Candida fungi to thrive in the warm and moist environment of the vagina, something that women can find irritating and can lead to complication in the vaginal area.
What Causes Vaginal Thrush?
There are a few reasons why Vaginal Thrush happens | among women. Since the Candida fungi can thrive in environments such as the vagina, it is important to note these reasons which can cause vaginal thrush.
One of the main reasons for vaginal thrush is the neglect of vaginal hygiene. The vagina has sweat glands and unlike the other parts of the body, remains moist and warm because of the vaginal discharge. Therefore, wearing tight underwear or a very skimpy type of clothing can really set the Candida fungi off and cause thr | [

The American comics scene was turned on its head in April of 1977 when a glossy full-color comics magazine called Heavy Metal hit the stands featuring European comic art from Enki Bilal, Philippe Caza, Guido Crepax, Philippe Druillet, Jean-Claude Forest, Jean Giraud (aka Moebius) and Milo Manara.
Heavy Metal’s content, which was initially translated stories that had been previously published in the French magazine Métal Hurlant, focused on a more adult presentation of fantasy/science fiction and erotica that liberated American comic readers whose exposure to comics was generally limited to publications that were heavily censored by the Comics Code Authority.
The July 1979 issue featured a five page strip that would be the first professional work ever published by current CO2 Comics contributor Don Lomax. His story, Attila the Frog, edited by long time Heavy Metal editor | Julie Simmons was a black and white action extravaganza that would be Don’s first and last piece ever published by the magazine but launched a comic career that now spans over three decades.

Narcissistic Spouses Ripping You Apart Piece by Piece
Posted Dec 03 2012 4:31pm
Piece by piece, some small others large, your narcissistic spouse is
ripping your apart psychologically and attempting to destroy your
singular life. When we are married we expect some autonomy. This is not
possible with a narcissistic partner. They are fused with husband/wife
even when they are having affairs, ignoring your feelings, pretending
like you don't exist. You are their possession to be used according to
their delusional whims and obsessions. When you put you life's fate in
with a narcissist you have made a deal with the devil. Many spouses who
remain in these relationships decades later look back at what has become
of their lives. They are worn out, depressed, lack energy and hope and
feel desperate much of the time. Every once in a while they will have a
crumb dropped on | them out of the blue by the narcissistic partner.
"Let's take a trip, dear." "I bought this outfit just for you." Let's go
out to dinner, just the two of us." Often these are empty promises to
bring you back into their camp---prison camp. Many go for this bait time
The narcissist is not going to

A threshold is the exposure level or dose of an agent above which toxicity or adverse health effects can occur, and below which toxicity or adverse health effects are unlikely. For example, taking aspirin is therapeutic and not dangerous up to a contain dose, but above that dose it can cause nausea, brain damage, bleeding, and, eventually, death. Sulfuric acid is not dangerous when only small amounts of it get on a person's skin, but if the amount gets too high, it burns. Thresholds for toxicity exist because, | up to a certain point, the body can repair damage and detoxify chemicals to which it is exposed. If the exposures get too high, however, the detoxification and repair mechanisms are overwhelmed and toxicity starts to occur.
Thresholds for toxicity can be different in different people, with some people likely to be sensitive to smaller levels of exposures than others. In other words, toxicity thresholds are distributed differently within a population. For example, some people | [

One likes to pierce the skin, one gets on the skin and one burrows under it. For those heading outdoors this time of year, all three are best avoided.
Talking about rattlesnakes, poison oak and ticks. Or, as I like to call them, the Three Evils of Spring.
Let’s start with rattlesnakes, if only because they’re the most feared — and potentially lethal — of the trio.
Humans aren’t the only species that likes to venture out in the sun. Snakes do as well, and everyone should know how to tell apart California’s only venomous native snake from the many species of harmless ones.
Menacing as they might be, rattlesnakes typically don’t strike unless provoked. But when they do, the result can be serious injury.
