...Dutch courage is needed. It’s all about mushroom- its cultivation and marketing where investment is extremely possible minimum. No down time exists here, as the state of art technology is not needed. Even it’s neither a capital intensive one. The project is aimed at fulfilling with the very number one basic need i.e., food along with the ex gratia, nutrition, staying at the heart at the agriculture sector, the mother of all industries. The projected outcome is that by investing BDT 2,000,000.00 (equivalent of US$ 25000.00), net income would be BDT 5,995,635.37 which states about 299.78% ROI without any substantial variation, due to the existence of antithesis relationship in between risk and return (because, here risk is at rock-bottom but the return is sky-rocketing). Mushroom Mavens, LLC (proposed) plans to produce and market mushrooms in Bangladesh, a country with a conducive climatic condition for the cultivation of mushrooms. In Bangladesh due to escalating population growth, land to man ratio is decreasing every year. As a result, the land available for cultivation of vegetables is decreasing. These circumstances create a potential market for mushrooms, a vegetable with high nutritious value in it. The price of vegetables is skyrocketing and it is getting beyond the reach of the common people. This inadequate consumption of vegetables has created malnutrition in the general public. In such a situation, the cultivation of mushrooms would not only bring profit for the company...

...Introduction Mushroom is a large reproductive structure of edible fungi, which is the most popular nutritious, delicious and medicinal vegetable in the world. It is now one of the promising concepts for crop diversification in Bangladesh. The climatic condition of Bangladesh is completely suitable for mushroom cultivation. It does not require any cultivable land. It can grow in room by racking vertically. Therefore, its yield as well as benefit per unit area is higher than any other vegetable in our country. It requires short time, little capital and easy technique for cultivation. This is why all types of people like male and female, youth and old even children and disabled can easily participate in its cultivation. Therefore, it can generate huge scope of employment opportunities for unemployed people. The raw materials for mushroom cultivation like sawdust, paddy straw, wheat straw, sugar can baggage, waste paper, used cotton, dervishes etc are very cheap and available in our country and no materials are required to import from abroad for its cultivation. Moreover, no chemical is necessary for its cultivation, therefore it is completely organic and eco-friendly. Used substrate of mushroom cultivation is one of the best sources of organic matter in the soil. Its cultivation may be “a lifeboat” for survival of the landless people who do not have any source other than their houses and own labor. Its cultivation can transfer as a cottage industry and create a goods opportunity...

...made a quite lucrative underground profit. One Gram of mushroom would be sold for $20 on the streets. Most users would get enough out of one gram, but experience users always buy more in other to make the effects last longer. This became part of a billion dollar underground drug trafficking market, which only grows bigger with these types of drugs becoming more recreational. Nowadays the psychedelic drug is mostly used at festivals, concerts, or mostly just to experience the effects. Even though mushrooms are illegal as soon as you go to a festival or concert there will be an abundant of mushrooms with different type of effects and strength of the effects. Festivals are events mostly situated in nature or deep in woods. These events include different type of spiritual and prehistoric music, with many different colors, painting, and art. These events are specialized for the use of psychedelics, and have different properties...

...Hallucinogens disrupt the normal functioning of your brain, making it hard to think, communicate, and focus on reality. Psychosis, panic attacks, and dangerous accidents are all possible risks of taking that one "trip”. Hallucinogens are drugs that distort the way you perceive reality. They can cause you to see, feel, and hear things that don't exist, making it hard to communicate or think clearly. They can also cause rapid, intense emotional mood swings. Types of hallucinogens LSD (AKA: Acid, blotter, cubes, microdot, yellow sunshine, blue heaven, Cid) — an odorless, colorless chemical that comes from ergot, a fungus that grows on grains. Mushrooms (Psilocybin) (AKA: Simple Simon, shrooms, silly putty, sherms, musk, boomers) — psilocybin is the hallucinogenic chemical found in approximately 190 species of edible mushrooms. Mescaline (AKA: Cactus, cactus buttons, cactus joint, mesc, mescal, mese, mezc, moon, musk, topi) — occurs naturally in certain types of cactus plants, including the peyote cactus. – The Risks Taking any hallucinogens can cause you to experience anxiety, fear and paranoia, sometimes verging on psychosis (a complete loss of contact with reality). In this state of mind, it can be very easy to have a dangerous, or even fatal, accident. LONG-TERM EFFECTS Though more common with LSD, all hallucinogens can cause flashbacks—feelings and thoughts that replay the effects of being on the drug weeks or even years after taking them. Since all...

...Alice is constantly changing size during her adventures in Wonderland, from the moment she falls down the rabbit hole until the moment wonderland is no longer. Alice just keeps changing, yes in size, but also as a symbol for growth. When Alice first arrives in Wonderland she is too big to go through the little door leading to the exquisite garden. After she drinks from the little bottle, that magically appears, she shrinks in size too small to reach the key that opens the door that she left on the table next to the drink. This happens repeatedly along Alice’s journey in Wonderland. It’s not until she meets the caterpillar, who turns her on to mushrooms (drugs), who shows her the right way to eat a mushroom to help maintain her size, allowing her to maintain a “normal” size. These instances continue on to the end when Alice is in the courtroom when she loses control of her growing. This time becoming so big that the court chambers are just a pack/deck of cards. There is an obvious connection between size, age, and one’s maturity, to Alice in the real world (and to the audience) as her constant changing in size is because she's a maturing girl, getting a little bigger and a little older with the passage of time. This is an indiscriminate process that she can't control and nor can anyone growing up whether it be in wonderland or own real world. Alice changes size and changes in relations to everyone around her (fickle...

...This is a huge controversy in today’s society. Which one is healthier? Experts claim that cooking food is great when it comes to making it tastier, but raw food is much healthier. When food is cooked, some vitamins are lost, while others become more available. Raw foods are foods that have not been cooked or processed. These foods included grains, fermented foods, seeds, and also raw fruits and vegetables. Some claim that raw foods are more nutritious because enzymes, along with some nutrients, are destroyed in the cooking process. Not all cooked food is bad for you though. Some foods are, in fact, better cooked. Foods such as asparagus, mushrooms, carrots, and potatoes are healthier cooked. Experts preach that for the best health it is recommended to eat a raw food diet...

Hofniann's psilocybin was extracted from various species of mushrooms whose occurrence and ritual use in the mountains of Oaxaca had been discovered by Gordon and Valentina Wasson in the summer of 1953. Of the many species which were in use in Oaxaca, subsequent laboratory tests revealed that only one species was easily grown and able to fruit under a variety of artificial conditions. That one species is Stropharia cubensis the starborn magic mushroom. This book is a path to this mushroom; how to grow it and how to place it in your life like the shining light that it is.

...for the meaning, and just not the words or numbers. Adolescent Literature in the Content Area Classroom Teachers should always question themselves regarding the student’s ability to comprehend, complete the task, and whether the student’s are retaining the vocabulary instruction objectives. Interacting with other students gives each other more knowledge because, each student has different perceptions of any given answer the next student may not have thought of. As students move through the different areas when learning different types math, the support of the teacher is critical as a couch instead of the giver giving the students the opportunity to used their own minds, thoughts, and actions. Introduce a new way when teaching math. First, list what students already know about worded math problems, and what they want to know about it. “In January 2002, the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 became law.

...National Agricultural Scenario | | India’s economic security continues to be predicated upon the agriculture sector, and the situation is not likely to change in the foreseeable future. Even now, agriculture supports 58% of the population, as against about 75% at the time of independence. In the same period, the contribution of agriculture and allied sector to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has fallen from 61 to 19%. As of today, India supports 16.8% of world’s population on 4.2% of world�s water resources and 2.3% of global land. And per caput availability of resources is about 4 to 6 times less as compared to world average. This will decrease further due to increasing demographic pressure and consequent diversion of the land for non-agricultural uses. Around 51% of India’s geographical area is already under cultivation as compared to 11% of the world average. The present cropping intensity of 136% has registered an increase of only 25% since independence. Further, rain fed dry lands constitute 65% of the total net sown area. There is also an unprecedented degradation of land (107 million ha) and groundwater resource, and also fall in the rate of growth of total factor productivity. This deceleration needs to be arrested and agricultural productivity has to be doubled to meet growing demands of the population by 2050. Efficiency-mediated improvement in productivity is the most viable option to raise production. The country recorded impressive achievements in agriculture...

...summer is the most favourable season for the occurrence, for the reason that the weather conditions help the bacteria to spread. Elders and young children or people with weak immunity are at higher risks. Food poisoning is produced when someone consume food that have toxins. Branch states that the toxins can appear in a natural way in the food (some types of mushrooms), can be produced by micro-organism or can be a contaminant. The most frequent symptoms of food poisoning consist of stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea. Below are highlighted some of the diseases caused by toxins in the foods: Bacillus cereus poisoning outbreaks have many times been connected with rice products. But, other starchy foods such as potato, have also been associated with the Bacilus. Botulism, rare and is caused by a bacteria Clostridium. Can be prevented through appropriate preparation, cooking and holding of foods. Ciguatera fish poisoning eating ocean fish that contain toxins generated by natural minuscule algae called Gambierdiscus toxicus. Clostridium perfringens poisoning Scombroid (or histamine) poisoning Shellfish poisoning Staphylococcus aureus poisoning Mushroom poisoning (Branch, 2010) Cause of Outbreaks in US: Source: consumerreports Moreover, the term of “outbreak” signifies the more than two cases appeared as a consequence of consumption of a common food. Another related term is “epidemic”, but is often used when a high number of people are involved. 1.3 Discuss how food-borne...

...Water management schemes and how it helps to improve people’s quality of life Water management schemes are all the schemes in general that provides water to people, for example; water transfer schemes are one of the many water management schemes, water transfer schemes are projects that collect water from areas that have a higher rainfall and divert it to areas that have a greater need and a higher demand for water. Water is collected and stored in reservoirs for further use. Another example of water management schemes is sanitation systems which are in order for those who do not have access to appropriate sanitation. Overall, the water management scheme is a scheme that ensures that everybody has access to clean water and sanitation. Water is one of the most important natural resources which are essential for ALL living things. Water is used for drinking, washing, cooking and irrigation. There is only 3% of pure water in the world, that we can drink, 2% of that water is stored in icebergs, if the demand for water continues to increase at rapid rates; the access to water will become more difficult. Figure 1 In figure 1, the more successful countries which are MEDC’s and the more urbanised areas such as the USA, Canada Australia, Italy and France show that the more water they use per capita. They have the access to clean water, so they tend to take advantage of it and waste more, whereas the countries that have little access to clean water tend to manage...
