3-D microscope opens eyes to prehistoric oceans and present-day resources

ScienceDaily (Sep. 20, 2011) ? A University of Alberta research team has turned their newly developed 3-D microscope technology on ancient sea creatures and hopes to expand its use.

U of A engineering professor Dileepan Joseph and two graduate students produced a 3-D imaging system called Virtual Reflected-Light Microscopy. The technology consists of a regular optical microscope, a light source, a platform that moves the objects being photographed and software programs that extract shape and reflectance from images and transform this digital information into a 3-D image. To see the full effect on a computer screen viewers wear simple, paper framed 3-D glasses with red and cyan coloured lenses. Viewers also control a virtual light source, which they reposition using their web browser.

The test subjects used in the development of the VRLM were drilling core samples taken from beneath the floor of the Pacific Ocean. Joseph, Ph.D candidate Adam Harrison and master's student Cindy Wong produced 3-D images of ancient protozoa or microfossils that were mixed in with the sand and rock in the core samples.

Joseph says the VRLM gives geoscientists and computer programs in development much more information than simple images. The goal is to accelerate species identification of the tiny and numerous microfossils. Such identifications are used to date the rock from which the creatures are pulled. The microfossil species digitized by the U of A's VLRM prototype were found in rock known by geologists to be 60 million years old.

Geoscientists can use that kind of strata dating information in Earth sciences research and in the search for energy resources. The U of A researchers say there are multiple industrial and academic uses for their 3-D microscope technology.

The development of the VLRM technology is documented by the U of A researchers in the academic publication Journal of Microscopy.

Protein Intake: How Much Protein Should You Consume And What ...

Bodybuilders, power lifters, strength and power athletes and certain team sports athletes can greatly benefit from having increased lean body mass in the form of muscle. Hell, for bodybuilders it?s the goal of the sport! While for performance athletes it?s a means to an end.

Total muscle mass, strength and power can benefit athletes in many ways depending on their specific sport, position and needs. Therefore, it is important for athletes to determine what the optimal protein intake is in order to support these needs.

However, there is much debate on the topic of protein intake and often the focus of most protein recommendations are to meet a minimum dietary requirement, versus providing an intake that will result in optimal performance or muscle growth. The issue of safety is also a concern since it is widely claimed that excessive protein intakes can be detrimental to bone, kidney and liver health and can cause dehydration. These lingering fears of the detrimental effects of high protein intakes may be the reason why protein recommendations tend to be overly conservative, despite a number of studies suggesting that higher intakes may be beneficial for performance and lean body mass accrual.

To change this paradigm, it is essential not only to illuminate what is optimal for sports performance and muscle growth, but also to point out that there is little evidence to support the supposed adverse health effects of higher protein diets.

Research On The Safety Of High Protein Diets

If you sit down with most traditional, classically trained dieticians who have not taken courses or specializations in sports or performance nutrition, you will probably be surprised at how vastly different their recommendations are for protein intake compared to what most muscle magazines or bodybuilders would suggest. You would also probably be shocked by the risks associated with high protein intakes that they would inform you of. So who is right, the bodybuilding gurus and champions or the classically trained clinical dietician? The truth, as always, is somewhere in the middle. More often than not, the average person under consumes protein, while the average bodybuilder over consumes it.

But, before I make any definitive statements about how much protein to eat, we should really take a moment to examine safety.

Safety First

To be a good coach in a broad philosophical sense, a foundation of ethics and care for the well being of one?s athletes must be the cornerstone of all decisions. Much like a coach should not recommend performance enhancing drugs to athletes because of their detrimental health effects, a coach should not suggest high protein intakes (even if they enhance performance) if they actually do carry health risks. But do high dietary protein intakes carry health risks? In a review of 41 studies examining the purported adverse affects of high protein diets in athletes, it was noted that protein intakes of 2.8g/kg did not impair kidney function in the short term (Manninen 2004). In an even more comprehensive review of 111 studies, specifically looking at protein intake and kidney function, it was found that athletes who habitually consumed over 2.0g/kg of protein showed no impairments in renal function (Martin et al, 2005). Another review examining safety concerns of protein for athletes, pointed out that no link between high protein intakes and heart disease could be made (only between excessive fat intake and heart disease). In fact, it was found that high protein intakes when fat was controlled actually reduced the risk of ischemic heart attack.

?It was also concluded that no link between high protein intakes and poor kidney health could be made. In fact, at least one study showed an improvement in kidney function among athletes who consumed high protein diets.

This review also pointed to research that showed a protein intake of 150g had the same effect on calcium balance as an intake of 50g, contrary to the belief that high protein intakes cause calcium leaching. Lastly, it was noted that bodybuilders who habitually consumed more protein than athletes, who habitually consumed more protein than non athletes had no increase in calcium excretion. It is worth mentioning that the bodybuilder group consumed 50% more protein than the athletes, and the athletes consumed significantly more than the non-athlete group (Bradley-Popovicha et al, 2003). A similar review titled ?Protein and amino acids for athletes? had the same conclusions (Tipton et al, 2004), as did a more recent review ?A Critical Examination of Dietary Protein Requirements, Benefits, and Excesses in Athletes? (Phillips et al, 2007).

So, in light of recent research, it can be said more or less definitively that protein intakes around and slightly above 1g per pound of body weight do not hold the purported health risks, at least for athletes and bodybuilders.

More Findings

In direct studies on non-athlete populations, similar results were found. This implies that neither the physical activity of athletes nor a possible bias held by the review authors is skewing the data. One study showed that there were no detrimental effects on kidney, liver or bone health after one year of consuming protein intakes of 2.2g/kg of lean body mass (Li et al, 2010). Another study showed that a diet consisting of 25% protein with an additional 50g of supplemental protein daily, had no ill effects on health (it also happened to be the best for maintaining a healthy weight after dieting) (Claessens et al, 2009). With such a staggering amount of evidence showing that high protein intakes have very few of the purported health risks, it begs the question: why does the stigma continue to linger?

To answer, it is worth pointing out that the vast majority of this research was published within the last decade and to give credit to progress, protein recommendations for athletes have increased over time, although they still tend to fall short of optimal in most cases based off of the most recent research.

How Much Protein Should We Eat On A Daily Basis?

So I know what you are waiting for, you?re waiting for me to tell you how much protein to eat already! Well, the answer is never cut and dry is it? Let?s talk about what we know, it is clear that the optimal protein intake is higher than some recommendations; in one study it was shown that a protein intake of 2.1g/kg provided superior muscle mass gains to a protein intake of 1.2g/kg in weightlifters (Tipton et al, 2004). It is also known that even in a very slight caloric deficit (~100kcals) while performing high levels of activity, the upper levels of the recommended protein intake for athletes (2.0g/kg) are not always sufficient to maintain nitrogen balance (Manninen 2004). So we know that eating slightly more than the upper level of the generally recommended protein intakes for athletes is better than the low end of the current recommendations. We also know that the current upper level recommendations are precarious with regards to muscle maintenance while on a diet, even if the caloric deficit is very mild. Lastly, it has been shown that intakes as high as 3.0g/kg (or 40% of calories) have no significant health risks (Tipton et al, 2004).

So, not only are the current recommendations suboptimal for weight lifters, and not enough to maintain muscle mass while doing high levels of activity on a diet, but higher intakes seem to have no risks.

How Much Protein Should Be Eaten Per Meal & How Often?

Another important point made in some more recent studies, is that Muscle Protein Synthesis (MPS) is increased in a dose-dependent fashion in response to protein. Therefore, it may be more useful to suggest a per meal protein intake in addition to a daily total. Since maximal muscle growth occurs due to an increase in MPS, it may be optimal to focus not only on total protein intake, but also frequency and amount of protein at each meal. In fact, in the most recent research it has been shown that MPS is maximally stimulated by 3-4g of the branch chain amino acid Leucine (or .05g/kg of Leucine), and that it can only be maximally stimulated every four to six hours. This research is the first of its kind in that it examines not only nitrogen balance, but the MPS gene-signaling effects of amino acids. Depending on protein source, it typically takes anywhere from 30-50g of protein to meet the 3-4g Leucine requirement. Based on the frequency MPS can be stimulated, this suggests an optimal protein intake for muscle growth close to 2.5-3.0g/kg (Norton et al, 2009). So, It would appear that higher than normally recommended protein intakes might be prudent for athletes looking to gain muscle mass or maintain it while dieting.

For those that are metric-system challenged, 2.5-3.0g/kg would be right around 1.1-1.4g/lb, so a 200lbs male bodybuilder would benefit from eating 220-280g of protein daily, evenly divided into meals every 4-6 hours, more if dieting, less if eating at maintenance or in a gaining phase.

More The Better?

So if protein is safe at higher levels, and most athletes need to eat more, why am I not simply telling you ?the more the better?? Wouldn?t that just fit nicely with the ?go hard or go home?, ?train insane or remain the same?, ?bigger is better? attitude of the bodybuilding community? Well, I?m here to tell you that while bodybuilders might have it right in-that more protein is needed than was previously thought, the attitude of ?more is better? is what leads most of my bodybuilding brethren astray; the classic quote ?more is not better, better is better? comes to mind.

All Comes Down To Balance

Although it may be true that high protein intakes could be more beneficial and less of a risk than previously thought, it would be lax of me not to point out some concerns. First of all, it has been proven time and time again that if carbohydrates are insufficient, performance suffers. Thus it would be sub optimal to recommend such a high protein intake that inadequate carbohydrates were consumed leading to poor workouts and a lessened training stimulus for growth. This would defeat the whole point of eating more protein in the first place! In fact, if carbohydrates are too low, it does not matter how much protein you eat, you can lose muscle tissue!

Carbohydrates are equally important (if not more so) for muscle growth, muscle maintenance and performance when compared to protein. So although yes, many athletes should consume more protein than they do, they should not consume it at the expense of dietary carbohydrate.

And although I?m not going to go into it as this is an article about protein, dietary fat is also extremely important. Don?t cut out any macro nutrient completely, we need them all to have an optimal diet for muscle growth! It is also worth pointing out that dehydration was not addressed in any study represented in this article, and high protein intakes do have a diuretic effect. Any athlete choosing to partake in a high protein diet should pay special attention to adequate hydration, but truly if you are trying to be a high performance athlete or bodybuilder your water intake should already be covered!

Make sure you are consuming at least half your bodyweight (in pounds) in fluid ounces of water, that you consume a good chunk of it in and around training, and that you have multiple clear urinations every day.

Recent Research

Lastly, the most recent research shows that if protein sources higher in Leucine (dairy, egg, and meat sources) are consumed, less total protein is needed to maximally stimulate MPS at each meal. Meaning, you need less protein if it is of very high quality. This could allow an athlete more room in his or her diet to consume other essential nutrients. So for all you bodybuilders out there consuming whey, eggs, meat and BCAA on a daily basis, especially if you?re in the offseason, you would probably be better served eating the low end of the recommendations and upping those carbs!

Summary

In conclusion, for athletes looking to improve muscle mass and subsequent performance, an intake higher than 2.0g/kg (or right around a gram per pound of bodyweight) and a focus on protein per meal (and spreading meals out every 4-6 hours) is likely a safe and optimal strategy. However, before you increase your protein intake, you must first be sure that you have no prior health risks (such as impaired kidney function) and that you are meeting your daily caloric, carbohydrate, and fluid intake requirements.

Remember, balance is key and protein is only a part of the equation!

Tips for Managing Caregiver Stress ? Inside Elder Care

Chances are that, to some degree, you been a family caregiver for your loved one for some time now. To one degree or another, you?ve been tending to their needs: taking frequent phone calls, grocery shopping with (or without) them, and performing chores around their home.

Whether you are the child, sibling, or the spouse of your loved one, you?ll be feeling the emotional and physical strain of the role you?re playing. There?s an uncomfortable shift in the dynamics between you.

If you?re the child, you?ve become a parent of sorts. If you?re the spouse, you?re forced into a new and often unwelcome level of intimacy. And, if you?re a sibling, it?s imperative that your decisions not be clouded by childhood memories or resentments.

Being aware of these shifts in roles and responsibilities is the first step in self- care for the caregiver (that?s you, remember). The second step could be to seek support and assistance. One great resources is National Caregiver Support Groups. These groups can put you in touch with their local chapters. In addition, you can get information regarding support groups in your area from local nursing homes or eldercare agencies.

The Effects of Caregiver Stress

Dealing with the health problems of someone you love naturally produces stress in your life. It can wear you down, both emotionally, and physically.

I mentioned in my opening story that at one point in my mother?s illness, I was driving hundreds of miles each week to visit her in the hospital or skilled nursing facility. My mother?s condition was the result of a sudden event ? which is different from the lingering decline described as part of the assessment process. With such a dramatic event comes shock, guilt and acute sorrow.

The time spent on the road gave me hours to think about how things could have been different; the traveling to and from her bedside took time away from my work, and my relationships. The stress of my mother?s illness was dominating my life and had manifested itself in many ways.

Stress manifests itself in three ways: physically, cognitively and emotionally. Below is a list of stress symptoms. Looking back at that period in my life, I realize stress has manifested itself in many of those symptoms.

Physical Symptoms

  • Headaches
  • Sore back / stiff neck
  • Teethgrinding
  • Sexual dysfunction
  • Heart palpitations
  • Restlessness
  • Shortness of breath
  • Heartburn
  • Diarrhea/constipation
  • Jumpiness
  • Chronicinsomnia

Cognitive Issues

  • Difficulty in making decisions
  • Decreased problem-solving ability
  • Obsessive thinking
  • Short-term memory loss
  • Decreased concentration
  • Drop in organization skills
  • Limited attention span

Emotional Signs

  • Loss of interest in hobbies or recreational activities
  • Frequent crying or tearfulness
  • Persistent sadness or depression
  • Irritability
  • Chronic anxiety

Are you currently suffering from one or more of these symptoms of caregiver stress? I?m not surprised! Even in the early stages in dealing with the chronic health issues of a loved one ? whether parent, sibling or spouse ? you?ll find that you?ve become (more or less) tolerant of many of these manifestations of stress.

What I?ve learned is simple: taking care of yourself is essential to the well-being of your loved one. Here?s a short list of some of the things you can do to support yourself during the coming weeks:

Seek support from others. Turn to your loved one?s neighbors and friends; or other family members. They may be able to spend a few hours caregiving while you run errands, or even just take a short nap. Don?t feel you have to do it all alone!

Find a way to release your emotions. If you?ve got a pastor, spiritual advisor, close friend, or a therapist ? someone you can trust 100% ? be sure to reach out to them. They will be able to listen to you lovingly, and keep what you tell them to themselves.

Take time for yourself. If you like to walk on the beach, go shopping, take your dog to the park, or simply go see a movie ? do it! Do not procrastinate on this: taking time for simple pleasures every day is critical to your well-being.

Simplify your life. Ask yourself this question: What can I let go of right now? Maybe you shouldn?t tackle new projects at work; maybe you should let go of hunting for that new house ? whatever you can put ?on the back burner,? now is the time to do just that.

Avoid excessive alcohol or drugs. Ah, the temptations of self-medication. Don?t give into them. It?s not the wise path; ultimately, the care you are trying to provide suffers, and you?re less able to take care of the other things in life. Your job, marriage or parenting duties will suffer. That?s why I highly recommend the next tip:

Continue or begin an exercise program. It?s been clearly proven: aerobic exercise causes the brain to produce endorphins, which are your body?s natural way to enhance your mood and relieve your stress. Find a way to build regular exercise into your week: walk, run, practice T?ai chi; go bowling or play a round of golf with friends. Note: Always check with your doctor before beginning a new exercise program!

Do yoga. Yoga can be a fantastic stress reliever which providing a great deal of exercise and better flexibility. I cannot recommend Yoga enough, as it alone helps me reduce my stress level and irritability. A note for the men reading this book: Yoga can be hard work, very challenging and a great way to relax and build muscle. Don?t think Yoga is effeminate or too easy!

In the wonderful book, When Someone You Love Needs Nursing Home Care, the authors, Robert Bornstein and Mary Languirand help their readers to build a long-term plan, based on six principles:

  • Plan ahead. It may be a difficult subject to broach with your loved one, but planning ahead provides them with the opportunity to fully participate in the decision-making process.
  • Get advice. Don?t discount the value of speaking with those people who have been down this same road. Join a support group (online or offline), and speak with doctors, nurses and health care professionals. When it?s financial or legal advice you need, turn to attorneys and accountants.
  • Get others involved. Share the workload with family members, co- workers, and friends. Remember they care about you, and would love to help when they can ? so don?t hesitate to ask!
  • Keep colleagues informed. Those people in your workplace need to be taken into your confidence; they?ll want to know why you?re frequently absent from your desk, or unable to take on additional work.
  • Take care of yourself. We?ve already touched upon ?self-care? as being critical not only to your well-being but to the well-being of your loved one as well.
  • Put things in perspective ? and keep them there! Short-term thinking (?Things are falling apart and will never get better?) is a trap. As I?ve learned so clearly, people grow through adversity, and you?ll never be able to know just how this growth will manifest itself. Remember that change is inevitable??this too shall pass.?

Swiss reinsurance: catastrophe happens to promote the ... - insurance

A few days ago, the Swiss reinsurance in research report, more and more government departments through the use of commercial insurance skills and insurance industry growing capital strength, to accept insurance catastrophe losses as well as many other types of risk. Earlier this year, Japan earthquake disaster caused by damage to property worth more than 200 billion dollars, and commercial insurance coverage of the insured amount to only $30 billion. In contrast, Christchurch in New Zealand in the earthquake, property damage totaling us $12 billion, and commercial insurance company will compensate pays about $9 billion.

Public infrastructure huge potential for Swiss re in the study found that the central government to government property and main government activities, and self-preservation smaller government department is through the commercial insurance way, and other government departments to the risk of nonzero deductible. Most countries and regions and the government is also to roads, Bridges and buildings and government property skins. ?Although many government taking captive or nonzero deductible way, but governments there are still many the chance to the commercial insurance skills and growing capital strength to effectively share risk, and keep just really can?t cast parts.? Swiss reinsurance economist, the government involved in commercial insurance market, ?the authors RudolfEnz said. In this way, will risk for budget costs and expenses and commercial insurance company can share the influence of adverse events.

Enz says: ?from country to country and the district government is reconsidering catastrophe insurance coverage.? He said: ?Japan, Turkey and Taiwan has already issued a creative earthquake catastrophe plan. Mexico issued MultiCat bonds to gently to the influence of the disaster annual budget. The plan makes the Mexican government can through each quarter payment to the investor money in exchange for as much as $290 million earthquake and hurricane insurance.?

These solutions of a common features, is through the commercial insurance company and capital market to buy some extra security, where there is a catastrophe, governments can be used as a barrier, the last of the risks to be reduced. This practice became more and more necessary, because of the financial market of investors are willing to lend to the government?s limited amount, especially in the financial situation tense situation, and recent sovereign debt crisis will have one way performance without involuntary discharge of urine.

Insurance subsidies unintended consequences, some government study found that in areas prone to natural disasters have subsidies of insurance, if these insurance in the private market access will be much more expensive. This makes more dangerous areas of buildings. ?The subsidies can lead to unexpected consequence, forcing some live in the mainland or higher tax payers for expensive, in the seashore of all the people building insurance provide subsidies. This summer if there is a destructive hurricane will give the government provide these subsidies bringing heavy pressure.? Enz said. His advice: ?for those governments cancel commercial insurance company willing to provide insurance give subsidies, which can save are increasingly scarce government resources, to invest in those in catastrophe happens to help reduce the loss of infrastructure, and only to really cannot protect risk provided protection.?

According to information, governments compulsory purchase business to ensure that the danger of get compensation this regulation has a long history. For example, in most countries motor vehicle liability insurance is mandatory. ?People may not have savings or borrowing to pay for the damages ability because accident caused the badly hurt.? Enz said. Insurance companies to guarantee slip holder of centralized risk, in order to make no associated event diversity. Through the mandatory insurance, the government can ensure that damages to the needs of the victims to be big enough. In addition, pay insurance costs also encourage people to reduce risk behavior.

Pro-regime forces kill at least 23 people in Yemen (AP)

SANAA, Yemen ? Pro-regime forces, including snipers picking off protesters from rooftops, killed at least 23 people Monday in a second day of clashes shaking Yemen's capital, medical and security officials said.

The two days of fighting, which have killed nearly 50 people altogether, marked the most serious outbreak of violence in months, as frustration in the streets again builds over the president's refusal to step down after 33 years in power.

The officials said thousands of protesters armed with sticks overran a camp belonging to the Presidential Guards in Sanaa and that others were headed toward the headquarters of the elite force led by President Ali Abdullah Saleh's son Ahmed in the south of the city.

The officials said 20 of the 23 killed on Monday were on Sanaa's central Hayel street. They included a child and at least three soldiers who defected to join the protesters. Mortar shells thought to have been fired by pro-regime forces killed another two people in the capital, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to share the information.

Tens of thousands of protesters demonstrated in Sanaa Sunday to press demands for Saleh to step down. Pro-regime snipers killed at least 26 of the protesters.

Beside those killed, scores of protesters suffering gunshot wounds were taken to hospitals in Sanaa, according to Mohammed al-Maqtari, a doctor at a field hospital set up by the protesters. The wounded included soldiers from the 1st Armored Division, which, along with its commander, joined the protesters more than six months ago.

Witnesses said the soldiers were involved in skirmishes with the Presidential Guards.

In the southern city of Taiz, at least one protester was killed and 15 others were wounded Monday in clashes between anti-regime demonstrators and security forces, according to witnesses. In the southern port city of Aden, three protesters were wounded in clashes with government forces, witnesses there said.

Yemen's protest movement has stepped up demonstrations in the past week, angered after Saleh deputized Vice President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi last week to negotiate further on a Gulf-mediated, U.S.-backed deal under which he would step down in return for immunity from prosecution. Saleh has already backed away three times from signing the deal.

Many believe the move is the latest of many delaying tactics. Saleh has resisted calls to resign.

The United States once saw Saleh as a key ally in the battle against the dangerous Yemen-based al-Qaida branch, which has taken over parts of southern Yemen under cover of the political turmoil in the country. The U.S. withdrew its support of Saleh as the protests gained strength.

Why Obviously, for commercial business financing loans which are

All About Commercial Business Financing within the UK

Good news for all the UK borrowers Now commercial business financing on their behalf has become so easier. Why Obviously, for commercial business financing loans which are specially tailored only for the UK borrowers. If you?re a UK borrower, thinking about financing in your business then grab the chance, avail commercial business financing loans.

Commercial business financing loans are mainly used for business or commercial purposes in the UK. Whether it is related to buy any new business premise, commercial building or any business assets, commercial business financing loan may be the apt one that assists all the UK borrowers to satisfy their needs.

A UK borrower can execute commercial business financing either in secured or in unsecured way. For financing in secured way, obviously a burglar is required.
