Cyprodinil is applied to the foliage of almonds, grapes, stone fruit crops, and pome fruit crops to control plant diseases.  It will be formulated as a 75% water dispersable granules.  Vangard WG and Vangard WP will be applied by foliar sprays at 3 to 5 ounces per acre. The maximum use rate of 30 ounces per acre per season, a relatively low use rate. Cyprodinil  Technical is concentrated cyprodinil used as an ingredient to manufacture individual cyprodinil commercial products.

Product Name: Cyprodinil
Mechanism of action: bio-synthesis inhibitant of methionine, similar to triazole, imidazole and morpholine, without cross resistance with phenylpyrrole.

Cyprodinil appears to pose relatively little human toxicity risk due to low use rate, low risk to groundwater, low dietary risk and low worker exposure.

“The first study to examine the nation’s supply of beef, chicken, pork and poultry for presence of staph bacteria – including MRSA, a strain of staph that is resistant to most commonly used antibiotics – is an eye-opener. Nearly half of tested samples from popular retailers were contaminated with staph, and most strains were resistant to more than one antibiotic. The sources of the resistant bacteria are the animals, which are plied with antibiotics to counter unsanitary living conditions and boost meat production.” -AP

|This is ever more reason to read and research your meat intake products. Strive to get your protein source from Hemp, raw beans, and nuts. Meat is a good source it protein, when NOT contaminated.  Also, you have to understand that this issue could be blamed on our over anxious desire for meat products. Furthermore, the farmers are pressured to “pump” out meat products at rates that are unnatural. Considering the amount of antibiotics, disease, and biochemical trace elements that are in meat products, you must ask the question: Am I better with or without the meat from the supermarket? |

Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) are healthcare providers that render emergency medical services. EMTs are the first professionals on scene to render pre-hospital care. Being an EMT helps prepare you for emergencies so you can handle yourself in stressful situations. Regardless of your major, being an EMT teaches you basic skills that may help you save a life. If you’re pre-health, EMT work is a great way to get some hands-on experience and opens the way to more jobs.

The course is exciting and absolutely phenomenal!

It means we visited the clinic today! Today we went to the travel clinic, where people who are about to go on a trip come to get  vaccines, as well as education on the health conditions of the country to which they are headed. Most people only come to get the mandatory vaccine, but leave thinking that they might be better off taking the ones necessary for the are to which they are going as well.

For example, everyone has to get a Yellow fever vaccine, but if they were travelling to places where malaria is common, then they would be advised to take anti-malarial tablets. Apart from that, the doctor would also tell them to take certain precautions like making sure the windows are sealed tight maximum at 9 PM, to use mosquito repellent etc.

It was quite education. We got to meet two very different doctors. One of whom was a little evil (understatement).

So anyway, here are a few photographs I took on the way and while we were there…

they kinda had bamboo trees sticking out of nowhere… I mean, it just seemed a little unusual…

They also seemed to be extremely patriotic, with flags and photographs of the ruler of Dubai around every corner.

Yeah.. just a random villa… I thought it would be wrong to take a photo of the house itself, but the outside seemed pretty.. =)

Found a few pretty flowers..

And finally made our way back to the university.

Everyone was exhausted by the time we got back, but it was worth it.

This article from Evolution News explains how a person can look at the universe, find functional sequences of symbols, and infer a designer. (H/T J Warner Wallace of Please Convince Me)

Excerpt:

Intelligent design is a scientific theory that holds some aspects of life and the universe are best explained by reference to an intelligent cause. Why? Because they contain the type of complexity and information that in our experience comes only from intelligence.

As a result, intelligent-design theorists begin by studying how intelligent agents act when they design things. Intelligence is a process, or a mechanism, which we can observe at work in the world around us. Human designers make a great dataset for studying how intelligent agency works.

When we study the actions of humans, we learn that intelligent agents produce high levels of complex and specified information (CSI). Something is complex if it’s unlikely, and specified if it matches some independent pattern. William Dembski and Stephen Meyer explain that in our experience, only intelligent agents produce this type of information:

• “[T]he defining feature of intelligent causes is their ability to create novel information and, in particular, specified complexity.” (William A. Dembski, No Free Lunch: Why Specified Complexity Cannot Be Purchased without Intelligence, p. xiv (Rowman & Littlefield Publishers 2002).)
• “Agents can arrange matter with distant goals in mind. In their use of language, they routinely ‘find’ highly isolated and improbable functional sequences amid vast spaces of combinatorial possibilities.” (Stephen C. Meyer, “The Cambrian Information Explosion,” inDebating Design (edited by Michael Ruse and William Dembski; Cambridge University Press 2004).)

Meyer further explains that in our experience, only intelligence produces high levels of CSI:

[W]e have repeated experience of rational and conscious agents — in particular ourselves — generating or causing increases in complex specified information, both in the form of sequence-specific lines of code and in the form of hierarchically arranged systems of parts. … Our experience-based knowledge of information-flow confirms that systems with large amounts of specified complexity (especially codes and languages) invariably originate from an intelligent source, from a mind or personal agent.” (Stephen C. Meyer, “The origin of biological information and the higher taxonomic categories,” Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington, Vol. 117(2):213-239 (2004).)Thus, in our experience, high levels of complex and specified information — such as in codes and languages — arise only from intelligence. By assessing whether natural structures contain the type of complexity — high CSI — that in our experience comes only from intelligence, we can construct a positive, testable case for design.

And what happens when we study nature? Well, the past 60 years of biology research have uncovered that life is fundamentally based upon:

• A vast amount of complex and specified information encoded in a biochemical language;
• A computer-like system of commands and codes that processes the information.
• Molecular machines and multi-machine systems.

But where in our experience do things like language, complex and specified information, programming code, or machines come from? They have one and only one known source: intelligence.

One of the strangest things about intelligent design is how many people use the phrase without even being able to define it or point to an academic book or paper where the concept is defined.  There are several places where information is found in nature: the origin of life (“biological information”) and Cambrian explosion (“higher taxonomic categories”) are two of them. There is no known naturalistic method of producing large amounts of functional information in these two areas. But we know that human intelligence are capable of creating the sequences – we’ve seen it done. Intelligent design is the view that functional information sequences in nature are the result of intelligence. That’s all we know that can produce it.
