Some people have no problem with blood and others faint at the sight. Blood is very important to people that have lost a lot of it, and that is why there are blood drives. Blood drives were started by the Red Cross in 1949 during World War II. The military was in a need of blood for the soldiers and victims of war. As time went by, the demand for blood varies. Now days blood is needed for surgeries, accidents, blood diseases, and other diseases. Some blood types are rare and the demand is...
The human body is composed of a typical pattern of anatomy, yet every structure varies in form from person to person. For example, humans develop with a standard set of defined muscles, yet the shape and mass of each muscle varies significantly among individuals. Sometimes, "anatomical variations" develop – that is, anatomical structures that do not conform to the typical range of regular morphology (for example, an entirely separate "extra" muscle that develops in one person). Human anatomy i...

Trichomoniasis, commonly referred to as “trich,” was recently identified in a Lincoln County herd. Trichomoniasis is a venereal disease of cattle caused by the protozoa Tritrichomonas foetus. The disease is transmitted from cow to cow by infected bulls, and reduces calf production by decreasing fertility and inducing abortions. Heifers and cows usually clear the infection in three to six months, but bulls carry the infection for life without showing signs of disease. No medically approved treatment is available, so detection and control of inf...

Holidays, festive and enjoyable can also be difficult when it comes to having food on the table. Most people are going over to family, friends, or have something at their house. For other people that do not have much it is just another day. They only wish to have food on the table and not to be hungry. Family members always try to take care of their loved ones. At times a mother and father do not eat so the kids can have food. It sounds like everyone should share but sometimes there just isn't e...

Literature classes worldwide study Anton Chekhov (1860-1904), a great innovator of the short story. He wrote closely observed and deeply empathic slices-of-life with a great sense of humor - but the Russian-Lit-class-version of Dr. Chekhov often overlooks the vitality of his work in the theater. Theater-people like me know him as a playwright, the creative counterpart to the acting teacher Konstantin Stanislavsky, who directed and starred in Chekhov's breakthrough play, The Seagull. Together...

It is always fun to design you own vehicle to be able to go to the drive-in movies. Drive-in movies were the thing to go to in the 1960's clear up to 1980's. All the family would be able to go to it. Kids played on the playground, the teenagers were hanging out with their friends, and mom and dad had time to watch the movie in the car without to much concern. It was a community event. Times change, now there are only 300 drive-in movie theaters left in the United States. The nearest one from Pin...
