...During the Vietnam War the American Army used many different Artillery systems. The Artillery systems used were; the Rock Island Arsenal M101, Rock Island Arsenal M102, M1 Pack Howitzer/M116, M114, M115 (8-Inch Howitzer M1), and finally the M59 (M2 Long Tom). The M1 Pack Howitzer was originally used during WWII, but found its way to the Vietnam War due to its ability to be broken down into pieces for easier mobility especially in marshlands. With a capable crew, they could fire between 3 and 4 rounds per minute and could range around 9,610 yards away. The typical HE round weighed 3.6kg (7.9lbs). The M114 howitzer was used from 1955-1975 before being replaced by the M198. The M114 howitzer is classified as a medium artillery piece due to the way...

...Battle of the 73rd Easting Headed due east on the afternoon of February 26, 1991, VII Corps was advancing with a front of four armored/mechanized divisions. In the center of this front, leading the way and conducting reconnaissance for the corps, was the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment (ACR). The 2nd ACR’s job was to locate the forward elements of the IRG divisions suspected to be in the area, fix them in place, then pass the heavy divisions of VIII Corps through their lines so that they could smash the elite Iraqi units with a single killing blow. It was a difficult assignment, made more so by the weather conditions. The winter of 1990/91 was one of the wettest on record in the Persian Gulf, and had been a major problem during the preceding six weeks of the Desert Storm air campaign. Now the wind was howling, causing a sandstorm that was grounding the Army’s aviation assets and limiting visibility to as little as a thousand meters. Air reconnaissance was limited mostly to signals intelligence data, which meant that finding where the IRG divisions were located, would be up to the 2nd ACR. Like the prairie horse soldiers of 150 years earlier, the troopers of the regiments would grope forward until they physically ran into the enemy, in this case the IRG Tawakalna Division. Generally known to be the best and most aggressive of the various IRG formations, Tawakalna was the unit that would bear the brunt of the coming battle with VII Corps. As 2nd ACR moved forward, the regiment’s...

...Unit 21: Nutrition for Health and Social Care Unit code: L/601/2407 QCF Level 3: BTEC Nationals Credit value: 10 Guided learning hours: 60 Aim and purpose This unit aims to give learners an understanding of current thinking on nutritional health particularly relating to users of health and social care services. Learners will then be able to apply this understanding and make recommendations to improve the nutritional health of an individual. Unit introduction This unit builds on learner understanding of the principles introduced in Unit 5: Fundamentals of Anatomy and Physiology for Health and Social Care. Improvements in the diet of individuals are increasingly being recognised as a significant factor in maintaining, or effecting improvements, in overall health. It is therefore important that people working in the health and social care sectors, or those who are responsible for the wellbeing of others, have a good understanding of nutrition and diet. This unit gives learners an understanding of nutrition from a science-based perspective and of the role that food plays in social contexts. The unit may also provide useful underpinning knowledge for the study of food hygiene and practical culinary skills. Learners will explore concepts of nutrition using the language of nutritional science. Different aspects of nutritional health will be defined and routine ways of measuring this explored. Other aspects of nutritional data will involve describing...

...for the body after carbohydrates and protein. Lipids are also a medical term for ‘fat’ and though all fats are lipids, not all lipids are fats. Lipids have many roles within the body, one of its main duties is to transport, absorb and digest the fat soluble vitamins A,D,E and K. They provide the most energy to the body, are used for energy storage, cell membrane development, and they protect vital organs. Other major purposes are that they insulate layers under the skin, provide vitamins, essential nutrients and fatty acids in the body. Fatty acids cannot be made by the body and are therefore fat is essential in the diet. In many foods the lipid components add to flavor perception, texture, mouth feel and appearance. (Intro to food Nutrition handout, 15/02/11) It is important to remember that although fat is essential, the body only requires 30% of daily calorie intake to come from fat. Over consumption of fats can lead to weight gain and health problems. There are many different types of fat some good and some bad. Polyunsaturated and Monounsaturated are good fats and raise healthy cholesterol levels. Saturated and Trans fat can lead to chronic disease and illnesses and lower cholesterol levels. . (www.health.learninginfo.org/22/2/2011) The determination of lipid content in foods is very...

...It helps the brain to work effectively and provides the body with energy as it assists the transportation of oxygen through the blood. 3) Calcium is found in milk, yoghurts, cheese and kale. This helps our bones grow and prevents blood clots as well as muscle contraction. M1 Nutritional and energy requirements for females ages 6 and females aged 70 differ in some areas but may have some similarities due to the stages in life, as well as their lifestyles. One of the main obvious differences between their suggested diets is the daily required calorie intake. This is due to the fact that a 70 year olds body is bigger than a 6 year olds and therefore requires more calories as his is needed to provide energy. However, a similarity between the two diets is that they should both be varied, balanced and based on the ‘eatwell plate’. For example: A child’s breakfast should consist of protein, dairy and fibre, as well as the 70 year olds, but the difference would be the amount of each...

...it will enable you to understand and offer suitable foods to ensure your nutritional needs are met. Macronutrients are the nutrients that provide calories and energy in a diet, nutrients are needed for growth, metabolism and for other body functions. As “macro” means large, macronutrients are the nutrients needed in large amounts, There are three different types of macronutrients; carbohydrates which is made up of a large group of organic compounds occurring in foods and living tissues, these are included in starch, sugars and cellulose. Protein is the digestion to amino acids and has relationships with muscle mass; protein also affects the activity and metabolic rates. Lipids are the third main class of macronutrients needed in human nutrition. Lipids are found primarily in meats, and dairy foods. They are a class of organic compounds that are fatty acids. Micronutrients are different from macronutrients (like carbohydrates, proteins and fat) they are only necessary in tiny amounts. Nevertheless micronutrients are essential for good health, if you have a micronutrient deficiencies it can cause serious health problems. Micronutrient includes a lot of dietary minerals such as zinc and iodine these are necessary for the healthy functioning of your body’s system, from bone growth to brain function. Micronutrients are commonly known as “vitamins” the vitamins they hold are vitamin A, C, D, and K. Making sure that you eat these vitamins in a healthy balanced diet is really important...

...break very easily. All it takes is the slightest accident and you can end up with a fracture or a complete break. The spine, hips, ribs and wrists are the most common bones broken because of this disorder. All of these most often are a result in a fall, but can happen at any point during a slight trauma. Currently there is about 55% of the population over the age of 50 that have osteoporosis or osteopenia. ("Osteoporosis", 2012) “One in two Caucasian women will fracture a bone due to osteoporosis in her lifetime”. ("Osteoporosis", 2012) Lack of exercise, poor nutrition and poor general health, family history of osteoporosis, thin and small body frame, smoking and drinking are just some of the risk factors for osteoporosis. I currently have all of those risks against me. There are four of the above risks that I can change on my own in order to prevent getting osteoporosis myself. Lack of exercise, poor nutrition, smoking and drinking are the four that I can change. The four goals that I have chosen are to stop smoking, stop drinking, to eat healthier than I have been, and to exercise more. The first goal I intend to take on is to stop smoking. Currently, I am taking a prescribed medication in order to quit smoking. I was not aware that smoking makes you more at risk for osteoporosis. So other than wanting to quit in order to be healthier, I am more motivated to quit because I do not want osteoporosis when I get older. I smoke more when I drink, so that will be challenging...

...In his essay “Being Fat Is OK,” Paul Campos disputes the federal government’s definition of “overweight” (206). He even goes so far as to suggest that the government is perpetrating a fraud against the unsuspecting American people by setting weight standards that are unreasonable and not founded on any scientific fact. He points out rather convincingly that these standards “not coincidentally, serve the interests of America’s $50 billion per year diet industry” (207). It is his belief that the obsession with dieting in this country is caused by a series of intricate “lies” propelled by “the dishonesty of the propaganda war that the diet industry, with eager cooperation of our government, is carrying out against the American people” (207). Campos contends that it is not the government’s concern for our health but greed that influenced the stringent standards released that define someone as overweight or clinically obese. Campos confers that if Americans were lead to believe they were overweight they would flock to the market to purchase some of the thousands of dietary products provided by the industry. By providing quotes from the editors of extremely credible sources such as the New England Journal of Medicine, Campos exposes the weak link between being overweight and our overall health. In fact, Campos shows that there is little to no solid scientific basis to support the benefits of dieting at all. By doing so, Campos successfully creates an image of doubtful integrity on...

...The Food and Drug Administration, HHS. Ajinomoto Co., Inc; Filing of the Food and Additive Petition; Amendment Is amending the filling for the use of non-nutritive sweetener and flavor enhancer in foods generally, except meat and poultry, it is proposed to provide safer use as a non-nutritive sweetener in tabletop applications and powdered beverage mixes. This proposed regulation does affect me and my family because it will regulate the use of non-nutritive sweetener in our food. I think that this should be a concern of everyone in the public, we as a public don’t really pay attention to such proposed regulations but they do plan a major role in our lives and what we consume in our foods. The proposal is to regulate the use of non-nutritive sweetener in our foods except meats and poultry. It would regulate the use for Human Consumption in foods and beverages. Public Comment This regulation would be a benefit to the public, we should regulate the use of non-nutritive sweeteners use and make it safer for human consumption. As a public we should be concerned what is being put into our foods as a whole especially stuff that has no nutritional value to us.

...Paper #3- 1087 words Not Your Body American is known as the land of the free. But, with all the rules and regulations placed on what we can do with our bodies, that freedom seems a little farfetched sometimes. If I wake up and choose to walk down the street, pay six dollars for a pack of cigarettes and suck down twenty or so of those little burning death sticks, then that is my right. I should not have to worry about how far I am from a door or listen to people complain. If I feel that I have become a little too flabby due to laziness and choose to shoot myself full of steroids, the choice to get into shape, with considerably less work than it would usually take, is mine. If I feel that those steroids made me a little too ripped and I'd rather be a little more convex, it is my right to walk to the nearest fast food place and choke down fifteen to thirty of those grease covered burgers without having to pay an extra tax because it is deemed “unhealthy”. Overall, I should be able to do whatever I want with my body as long as I am not hurting anyone else. Protests of smoking cigarettes, using steroids, or ingesting unhealthy foods should be stopped because it is a person's legal right to do these things, they already has an array of restrictions and it is common knowledge that they are deadly. Nowadays, it seems like everything gives you cancer or some other deadly disease. The biggest fuss is usually made about tobacco though. Tobacco is one of the only legal substances...

The question now arises that whether does the media have an influence over eating disorders? What is it the most about the media is that it makes female fatally overwhelmed to the unrealistic and serious pressure towards slenderness? The affect of the media on the development of the eating disorders like Anorexia, Bulimia or Compulsive Overeating can’t be disproved.Since from the very early age the people are pelted with the images along with the messages that reinforce the idea to be pleased and successful that the individual must be lean. Now, as seen in daily day to day life that it is notified as a message that fat is bad, whether it is a television, a magazine, or a newspaper, or listening to the radio, or whether shopping in the mall. The most fearsome part is that the destructive message it conveys is somehow reaching towards children. Adolescents sometimes really feel like fatally blemished if their hips, weight etc. doesn’t match up I comparison to those of famous models and actors. Today even the children of the elementary school aged are also obsessed in respect to their weight. Even if the contention is also made that the media’s depiction of women is just only a mirror of the society and not as an...
