...Increase of Trans Fat Most foods we eat today contain a small amount of natural trans-fat, without a threat to our health. The concerns come from the industrial processes used to add hydrogen to oils conceiving manmade trans-fats. It's no secret that a diet high in trans-fat increases our risk to illness. The process of selecting the right foods isn't easy, but it can be done. Restaurants are using partially hydrogenated oil for frying because it doesn't need to be changed as often. If you're frying in your own kitchen the oil, being used may also be partially hydrogenated. It turns out that the heat from frying causes a chemical reaction of healthy polyunsaturated fats into unhealthy trans-fat. It releases a high concentration of aldehydes,...

...Ban Trans-Fat! Food is commonly defined as any nutritious substance that is ingested in order to maintain life and growth. According to this definition, trans-fat should not be classified as food, but instead should be categorized as a toxic food additive. Trans-fat is commonly used in the food industry to increase product shelf life and reduce refrigeration requirements. Trans-fat promised to make food taste better, look better, last longer, and cost less, but research performed over the past several years has unequivocally demonstrated that any potential economic benefits of trans-fat come at a high cost to human health. Today’s public is rapidly gaining an understanding that trans-fat is unhealthy, and some health conscious individuals categorically...

...Entrepreneurship 2 Trans Fatty Acids: What are they, where do they come from, and why do we need to avoid them? Trans fatty acids are part of the macromolecule group lipids. Lipids consist of glycerol and fatty acids. Lipids are long hydrocarbon chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms which are bonded together. Hydrocarbon chains that consist of solely single bonds throughout are called saturated fats. A hydrocarbon chain that has at least one double bond is an unsaturated fat. Fats are essential in the diet as they store large amounts of energy and they help in the absorption of vitamins A, D, E and K. In unsaturated fats the position of the atoms around double bonds...

...According to the article "NYC's Trans Fat Ban Worked," New York City banned restaurants from preparing foods using artificial trans fats to reduce the risk of heart disease and diabetes for the people of NYC which resulted in 20 less calories of trans fat for the consumers of NYC per day. The writer concludes that the trans fat ban was successful for this reason and because there are now healthier options on NYC fast food restaurant menus. Local government should not pass laws focused on nutrition. They should not monitor what we eat because people should be able to make their own decisions. The ban would not teach people how to choose for themselves. The fact is "The study did not track diners long enough to see if their lower-fat choices translated to actual health gains, such as a drop in heart disease or obesity, but other studies show that such benefits are possible." Based on this statement we really don't know if the governments ban on trans fat has even had any real impact on peoples health. Not to mention the 2006 requirement that came before the ban that allowed citizens to see what is going into their foods. It's important to note that "In 2006, the federal government began requiring packaged food makers to list the amount of trans fat contained per serving, which was helpful for grocery-store shoppers comparing the...

...Trans-genders in the Military As time continues, things that we found unusual and unrealistic have become normal and not such a burden to us. The military has been a key role on moving forward with many of these hush hush discussions many try to sweep under the rug. Now that the military is allowing openly gay, lesbian, and bi-sexual personnel into the military, there should be no reason for them to discriminate on trans-gender personnel who are trying to serve their country. In order for us to go forward with my statement I need you all to be opened minded. We all have an opinion but in the end it’s up to us to make the change for our future. The Don’t Ask Don’t Tell (DADT) era was a time when homosexuals where not allowed to be who they where without getting in trouble. The term was coined after President Bill Clinton in 1993 signed a law (consisting of statue, regulations, and policy memoranda) directing that military personal could not openly be a homosexual in the military (Britannica, 2015). In order for Clinton to win his seat in the white House he needed his sponsors to support him and having openly gays in the military was not something they wanted. Even though Clinton was for it he had to satisfy his supporters. After many discussions and fights back and forth Clinton finally came to an agreement that homosexuals could join the military but not be opened about it. Many officers were overwhelmingly opposed to that approach, fearing that the mere presence of homosexuals...

It’s important that we use scalability as our primary goal for network. Most companies like to add more users, apps, site or any external network connection that is why scalability is a primary goal for the network. The most challenges designers face when designing for scalability is usually expansion. 2) 100-99.80= 0.2% 0.2% * 365= 0.73 days 0.73*24= 17.52% hrs/day 17.52*7= 122.64% = 1 hrs and 22 mins downtime /per day Hr/week = 8 hrs 58 mins downtime/ per week Down time for minutes per day will be = 82 minutes Downtime for second per day will be = 4920 second 3) For this question number 3 I do not have significant answer for it so I just going to try my best to answer it usually the technical problem with this issues is could be packet switching delay. Because the latency accrued when switches and routers forward data. The latency depends on the speed of internal circuitry and CPU, and the switching architecture of the internetworking device. or the problems could accrued from serialization delay. The time to put digital data onto a transmission line, which depends on the data volume and the speed of the line. 4) The two tools that I research on that attacker use are attacking on your password , access attacks or DoS attack.

...Understand Your Fats and Fiber Mary Baumann SCI/241 Nutrition April 4, 2014 Stephanie Pitt Understand Your Fats and Fiber There are both good fats and bad fats: staying away from bad fats can be easy if you know what you are looking for. The fats that are bad for us are saturated, and tran fats and the better fats are monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Saturated fats turn solid at room temperature because they have a chemical makeup where the carbon atoms are saturated with hydrogen atoms. Trans fatty acid are fats that have been created in an industrial process that add hydrogen to liquid vegetable oils so they can become more solid. Trans fatty acids are seen on ingredient labels as “ partially hydrogenated oils”. Hydrogenated fats are considered as trans fats because these fats have been created in an industrial process. Trans-fatty acids are harmful because they raise the bad or LDL cholesterol levels and lower the HDL or good cholesterol levels in our bodies. They also increase the risk of heart disease and strokes and also have been associated with developing type 2 diabetes. Unsaturated fats are found in fish, nuts, seeds and oils from plants. Unsaturated fats are good for the body because they help lower blood cholesterol levels. Fiber helps normalize bowl movements, maintain bowl integrity and health, lowers blood cholesterol levels, helps control blood sugar levels, aid in weight loss, and may even reduce the risk of colorectal cancer. Lipids are...

...There are healthy fats and unhealthy fats. Monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats can lower bad cholesterol levels and are beneficial when consumed in a healthy diet. Unsaturated fats are found in oils and fish. Saturated fats and trans-fats are unhealthy fats and raise bad cholesterol levels in your blood. Saturated fats are fat molecules that have no double bonds between carbon molecules and are saturated with hydrogen molecules. Trans-fats raise bad cholesterol, and that is why trans-fats are worse than saturated fats. Trans-fats are produced in the gut of some animals and are found in foods made from these animals (e.g., milk and meat products). The beneficial fats would be monounsaturated and polyunsaturated. Monounsaturated will lower your cholesterol, but polyunsaturated will not lower your good cholesterol. Unsaturated fats are molecules that have one unsaturated carbon bond in the molecule. Olive oil is an unsaturated fat. Hydrogenated fats are considered to be trans-fats because they are mechanically created in a process by which liquid vegetable oil is turned into solid fat (Heart.org). Consuming large amounts of saturated fats can cause heart disease or stroke. Omega-3 fatty acids can benefit the heart because they decrease the risk of arrhythmias, which can lead to sudden death. Fiber absorbs cholesterol and also slows glucose absorption. Fiber is also beneficial with bowel movements and can be used to relieve mild-to-moderate diarrhea. Fiber is also beneficial...

...Fat is one of the three main macronutrients: fat, carbohydrate, and protein. Fats, also known as triglycerides, are esters of three fatty acid chains and the alcohol glycerol. The terms "oil", "fat", and "lipid" are often confused. "Oil" normally refers to a fat with short or unsaturated fatty acid chains that is liquid at room temperature, while "fat" may specifically refer to fats that are solids at room temperature. "Lipid" is the general term, as a lipid is not necessarily a triglyceride. Fats, like other lipids, are generally hydrophobic, and are soluble in organic solvents and insoluble in water. Fat is an important foodstuff for many forms of life, and fats serve both structural and metabolic functions. They are necessary part of the diet of most heterotrophs . Some fatty acids that are set free by the digestion of fats are called essential because they cannot be synthesized in the body from simpler constituents. There are two essential fatty acids in human nutrition: alpha-linolenic acid and linoleic acid . Other lipids needed by the body can be synthesized from these and other fats. Fats and other lipids are broken down in the body by enzymes called lipases produced in the pancreas. Fats and oils are categorized according to the number and bonding of the carbon atoms in the aliphatic chain. Fats that are saturated fats have no double bonds between the carbons in the chain. Unsaturated fats have one or more double bonded carbons in the chain. The nomenclature is based...

...and Fiber April Willis SCI/241 July 19, 2012 Dr. Gerald Shigekawa Check Point: Understand Your Fats and Fiber There are four types of fat. Although they have similarities, such as they all supply the body with energy and they all contain 9 calories per gram, some are better than others. It is important to consume all fats in moderation because of the high calorie content. The bad fats are saturated fats and trans fats. These fats raise your cholesterol and clog arteries, therefore putting you at a higher risk for heart disease. The better fats include monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat. These fats are considered better because they can actually lower the body's cholesterol level, reducing the risk for heart disease. Saturated fats have a chemical makeup where the carbon atoms are saturated with hydrogen atoms. Saturated fats are usually solid at room temperature, a stick of butter for example. Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature and come from a plant, such as olive, peanut, corn, cottonseed, sunflower, safflower, or soybean oil. Trans fatty acids are an unsaturated fatty acid produced by the partial hydrogenation of oils. Too much of this in the diet can raise the cholesterol level in the bloodstream. Hydrogenated fat is a fat that is semi-solid at room temperature and is found in margarine, vegetable shortening, and may processed foods. The digestive system relies on fiber to function properly and reduce the risk of disorders like constipation and...

...Fats are essential for our body as human beings because it gives us energy. Everyone should know that out body needs fats in order to be healthy but some people mistake bad fats for good fats so it is important that you understand the difference. Bad fats would be fats such as Trans fats and saturated fats. Trans fats and saturated fats are bad fats because they raise you blood cholesterol concentrations, contributing to clogged arteries that block in flow of oxygen-rich blood to your heart and brain. (http://www.webmd.com/food-recipes/features/good-facts-bad-facts) Saturated fats are fats that are solid and can be found in meats, cheese and milk. Saturated facts are found majority in things like snacks, cakes and all other sweets. Saturated fats are really something that you should limit your intake on because if you eat too much you will raise your cholesterol. Tran’s fatty acids clog arteries, increase the risk for heart disease, diabetes and some cancers. Tran’s fats (Tran’s fatty acids) can be found in things that are crispy like cookies and pie crust and in foods that have partially hydrogenated oils and shortening. All fiber comes from plant origin foods such as fruits and vegetables. If you were to eat an apple you would want to eat it with the skin because that is where most of the fiber is found. Fiber cannot be digested when you eat due to the lack of specific enzymes in the body to digest them. They are found to facilitate the process of digestion and they help...
