The pamphlet then explains to the patient ways that he prevent dental caries, such as brushing with fluoride toothpaste after eating or drinking, rinse the mouth with mouth rinse with fluoride, eat tooth-healthy foods, visit the dentist regularly and so forth. The patient was able to keep the pamphlet so he can further review the information on caries during…
In Christopher Morley's poem "Nursery Rhymes for the Tender Hearted", the speaker wonders about a cockroach he spots running through the pantry. "Roaches", by Peter Wild, has a similar subject matter, where the speaker spots a cockroach in the bathroom, kills it, then reflects on the bug. Each poem suggests a very different impression of the cockroach: Morley's is a sweet, innocent child, while Wild's is dangerous, unwanted predator. The ideas between these poems are fairly similar however, the…

works to protect teeth (University of Waikato). However, how much fluoride protects teeth is still unclear. Research over the last fifteen years has shown that fluoride primarily works topically, such as when it is applied to the teeth in a fluoride-toothpaste. When left untreated, tooth decay can lead to serious health problems such as infections that can spread into the jaw. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) tooth decay has declined in the U.S. since…
Everyday American men and women are putting their health at risk by unknowingly ingesting harmful chemicals from their daily cosmetic products.

Based on my computations, I would say that in today’s minimum wage in California, $9 per hour might be enough for single person without any dependents and living in a less desirable area of town, but not sufficient for a family with two young dependents nor for a family with one full-time or one part-time worker with dependents. There were certain discrepancies between the two portions of the family’s monthly budget, and in order for me to acquire at least the average monthly budget of $3,120…
Wastewater from hand basins is more pollutant than bath or shower greywater. It was further revealed that soap is the most common chemical contaminant found in bathroom greywater and other common contaminants are from shampoo, hair dyes, toothpaste and cleaning chemicals. All of these contaminants are believed to adversely affect land applications systems and are difficult to remove from the wastewater. Biocidal soaps have little effect on reducing the bacterial load in greywater.…

Jerry Spinelli used descriptive details, dialogue, actions, and thoughts to develop the main character in the book, Maniac Magee. I think that the character trait that Jerry Spinelli was describing for Jeffrey (Maniac) Magee is helpful. I think this and have text support for Maniac being helpful. One is that he untied little kids knots, as it says in the text “Little kids, especially preschoolers, came from all over, bringing him their knots. They had heard about him from Hester and Lester. They…
negative 8 people died. This is where BOO died. The first encounter I had with him was at band camp. He would come into the barracks at night and raid our belongings. We didn’t notice until 5 days had past. He started with small things: soap, toothpaste, and non-perishables. But when he figured out no one had noticed, he started going for the big items: unused mattresses, tv’s, laptops, and other electronics and expensive items. Once we noticed we would stay up…
