Polar bears are among the largest meat eaters on land. If these two males were to unleash their full power on each other they could inflict serious damage. But this is play fighting a test of physical skill among animals that can grow to nearly nine feet. It's a ritual repeated around the world by the seven other species that make up the family of the bear. From the largest to the smallest bears have been shaped by their varied habitats.

The polar bear, with its heat-absorbing coat lives exclusively in the Arctic Circle. lts closest relative, the brown or grizzly bear lives in the more temperate climates of Europe and North America. The main inhabitant of North America and the most numerous of all is the black bear. The spectacled bear is an adept tree climber in the cloud forests of South America. The sloth bear is unusual snout and claws enables it to root out termites in India and Sri Lanka. The giant panda feeds mainly on bamboo in the inland forests of China. The Asiatic black bear roams the southern part of the continent and has a distinctive shaggy coat with a crescent-shaped marking. And the smallest of all the agile sun bear lives in the lowland forests of Southeast Asia.

For all their differences in appearance bears have many characteristics in common. Like humans, when bears walk their heels and their soles both touch the ground. They can also walk upright on their hind feet able to watch out for danger, look for food and fight. All bears can swim. The brown and polar bears are especially at home in the water where they hunt the rich food supply. But often they seem to spend time in the water for the sheer joy of it. All bears have acute senses. Their sense of smell may be on par with that of a bloodhound. Despite the apparently small size of their external ears they have a keen sense of hearing.

And although it's not known whether all bears have color vision some can distinguish between ripe and unripe berries. Most bear's lips are prehensile not attached to the gums and are therefore flexible enough to grasp and pick small fruit. Some bears have even been known to peel a grape using only their lips. All bears have non-retractable claws in some species, up to six inches long.

Their teeth are among the largest of any carnivore despite the fact that many bears have adapted to a largely vegetarian diet. But all bears, by definition, are carnivores. And brown bears can be relentless hunters hitting speeds of up to thirty miles per hour and showing surprising stamina despite their bulk. Most of all, bears are opportunists. They will eat anything and everything. Garbage dumps are easy pickings. The carcass of huge beached whale provides an unexpected and unusual meal. Even polar bears, the most voracious of meat eaters are opportunists sometimes and will resort to eating straggly grass if there's no meat to be had.

Opportunism aside, all bears need a staple diet on which their survival ultimately depends. A spectacled bear's diet is at least eighty percent vegetarian and a favorite food source are bromeliads that grow high in the trees. This bear will need all its strength and climbing skills to bring its meal down to the ground. Only then can it get to the flesh of this tropical plant. The sloth bear uses it long claws to rake out its favorite food, termites. Once a nest has been exposed the bear uses its mobile lips to blow away the dust. It then closes its nostrils and noisily sucks up the termites.

Black bears will occasionally eat meat but they survive mainly on a diet of fruit, nuts and insects. But these are less nutritious than meat and time consuming to collect forcing the bear to spend much of its day feeding. Soapberries are a favorite food among American black bears. They take great care to select only the fruit and to avoid the less nutritious leaves. Although the sun bear eats insects, fruits and bugs this is a bear that eats honey. It's able to use its long tongue to extract the nectar but pays a price in countless, painful bee stings.

The Asiatic black bears are adept tree climbers and will eat almost anything in their path be it animal or vegetable. Unlike the most highly specialized vegetarian of them all the giant panda whose diet is ninety-nine percent bamboo. Yet even pandas share an evolutionary path with voracious meat eaters like wolves. Around thirty-five million years ago the ancestors of bears branched from the raccoons and the so-called bear dogs. These early bears were small dog-like meat eaters The most ancient of today's bear species is the giant panda.

Studies of its DNA link the giant panda firmly with the bears whereas the red panda is considered to be a raccoon. Pandas became giants when they adapted to a diet of bamboo and grew too lumbering to be hunters. A few million years later the ancestor of all other bears evolved It lived in Asian forests that are the home of today's sun and sloth bears. Between twelve and ten million years ago the running bears emerged They had longer limbs than today's bears which enabled them to hunt fast moving prey and exploit open spaces.

Two million years ago they crossed the Panamanian Land Bridge into South America. Their sole living descendant is the much modified spectacled bear. In Eurasia another branch the Etruscan bears evolved into three separate lineages: Cave bears, brown bears and black bears. The cave bear became extinct but the brown and black bears were able to adapt to the available sources of food. One northern population of brown bears began feeding on seals among the ice floes and so emerged the polar bear. A female polar bear leaves her den after a long winter's sleep.

She's lost up to forty percent of her weight during a four to six month hibernation and the birth of her two cubs. She will spend up to ten days near the den to allow her cubs to adapt to the freezing climate. At night they will take shelter inside where the temperature can be as high as sixty-eight degrees. Eventually, she and her cubs have to leave the den to search for food. Ring seals are the polar bear's favorite food. They live beneath the ice, but must surface to breathe. Doing so, however, puts them in danger.

A polar bear will sit motionless for many hours waiting for a seal to surface. Seals can also surface at breathing holes that they create by gouging out solid ice with their teeth and claws. But a polar bear can smell a seal under three feet of snow over half a mile away. A polar bear owes its powerful sense of smell to a structure in its nose known as the turbinate bone. lts folds and scrolls create an enormous surface area that is packed with olfactory receptors.

In turn, a seal can detect movement above the ice and will swim to alternative holes if it senses danger. Polar bears will also stalk their prey. This three year old male has just made a kill. But is chased off by a larger male who seems more interested in challenging the young bear. Meanwhile a mother and her cub pick up the scent and head......cautiously towards the seal, not knowing it is dead. The mother paddles towards her prey through channels of melt water. If needed she can swim like this for more than sixty miles without resting. She has large webbed fore claws which provide propulsion. Her hind legs act as a rudder and stabilizer.

The two to four years that a cub follows its mother is an intense learning period. Though this seal turns out to be dead the cub now understands the stealth needed to hunt. In times of plenty polar bears will eat only the more nutritious fat and skin but for the mother and cub this is a rare and welcome feast. Getting to a food supply often requires dexterity and problem-solving abilities.

This young black bear has learned that there is usually an abundant meal beneath a rock. With great care and strength it is able to remove the rock and expose the nest of ants beneath. But what if the food itself is protected...by a tough and inedible cover. The panda is able to feed almost exclusively on bamboo only because it has a sixth digit. This so called thumb is actually an extension of the wrist bone. This allows it to grasp bamboo stems firmly in one paw. The panda can strip the coat from the bamboo using its two prominent front teeth and crush the stems with huge molars to get to the soft tissue inside.

The panda's skull is wider and deeper than other bears with a crest that runs the length of the head providing a large surface area for the attachment of its necessarily powerful jaw muscles. But pandas still have the simple stomach and intestines of a carnivore which means that they can only digest about twenty percent of their bamboo diet. Unlike herbivore stomachs which contain microorganisms to dissolve plant matter pandas have evolved a tough gullet and mucous cells that coat the stomach so it won be torn by the shards of chewed bamboo. They also have a very thick stomach wall effective in squeezing and churning large quantities of tough vegetation.

To maintain their energy levels they must eat constantly spending up to fourteen hours a day doing nothing else. In fact, the panda can only afford to sleep about four hours a day. Adaptation is the key to survival in a cold climate. Despite their bulk, polar bears are quite sure footed on ice, usually. lts feet are larger in proportion to its body than those of other bears. Add to that the hairs and suction pads on the soles of their feet and the polar bears can get a good grip on a slippery surface.

Polar bears have evolved a thick layer of fat and a dense under fur. This is so effective that even when temperatures drop to around minus thirty-five degrees their body temperature
remains unchanged Despite appearances, polar bear hairs are not white. Instead, they are colorless and hollow like fiber optic wires. They conduct the sun's ultra violent rays down to the black skin where they are absorbed. This can be so effective that polar bears may actually overheat.

And so to cool down, they spread themselves out on the ice. Polar bears can store immense amounts of fat over four inches thick. But this fat layer is not simply for insulation. When food becomes scarce the bear can live off this store for months at a time. This means that a polar bear's body weight can fluctuate enormously in one recorded case, by as much as nine hundred pounds.

When forced to live on this fat alone they can enter a state known as winter sleep. After around fourteen days without food they will switch into winter sleep regardless of the time of year. They don't urinate and have no need to drink because they recycle their waste while barely using their kidneys. Hibernation is not unique to polar bears. Brown bears will dig dens for themselves or hole up in caves or hollow logs. When you're about to sleep, comfort is a top priority

Dr. Lynn Rogers and his wife, Donna began studying bears in their dens thirty years ago by tracking black bears to their winter homes in the forests of Northern Minnesota.

"I got into bear studies back in 1967 and I was excited about that...because I thought it was, ah, working with dangerous animals. And then I got into it and I saw that they're not the dangerous animals. I had always thought they were and there was an awful lot that wasn't known about them. I became intensely curious about how they live."

Lynn Rogers first had to learn to sedate bears in order to get them out of the den which can be difficult when they weigh as much as a quarter of a ton And he didn't know how they'd react.

"I goofed up. A lot of the bears that were awake they greeted me by lunging at the entrance kind of like <blowing> and ah, it was so explosive. I couldn't help but jump back. But after seeing that hundreds of times then I realized it's more of a ritualized display than any serious threat. In fact, I wondered one time... wonder what would happen if I would call this bear's bluff and when it bluffs, I crawl, I crawled in And I did, and she bluffed from the back of the den then kept her distance from me......and eventually turned her head to the side hid in the corner and left her cubs exposed to me."

This is the time of the year when we can get the answers to the questions that we're wondered about the whole year. Also, we can find out all at once with all the bears in the dens how many cubs they had how fat they got, what kind of a year it was for them. He also began radio tracking the movements of black bears throughout the rest of the year. What we've learned from this, ah from the radios as we've flown over bears and just got glimpses of them little segments of their life through the year we've learned how big an area bears need to survive. Ah, all the travels they take the habitats they're used and the kind of the general things that bears do to make a living.

Bears live in home ranges which are determined by the availability of food A male black bear's range can be up to forty square miles and can include anything from verdant valley floors to towering rocky cliffs. Throughout their lives bears acquire a detailed knowledge of their home ranges and clearly have good memories. Bears have a tremendous ability to remember feeding sites and to find their way in the wild. They can build a mental map that's superior to anything that we could come up with.

A little cub a few month old cub toddling along behind its mother and she leads it on a trek forty miles outside of her usual territory and shows it, ah, a nice oak stand. When that cub grew up he remembered that oak stand and returned to that thing. Another bear made a trip a hundred and twenty-six miles kind of a circular trip, it went, went out there. Then it was time to come back and hibernate. It came straight home as if it had constructed a mental map on the way back way out and knew which way was home. It traveled only at night, and most of the time no vision of the stars and moon because it was cloudy under a forest canopy, and acted like it had a mental compass. lt, didn't take any easy paths. It just went straight in the direction towards home no matter what the barriers.

All bears have a compass sense. But how it works is unknown. The most striking example comes from polar bears whose home ranges are not only the widest but are literally shifting. Their compass sense allows them to navigate accurately over more than one hundred thousand square miles of moving ice floes and still find their way back to familiar ground. Even when the ice floes are turning their compass sense coupled with a powerful homing instinct will still take them home.

From the great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee scientists are trying to redistribute black bears to other areas that can support them. But first, they must overcome the bear's homing instinct. Though some mechanism that we're not... fully ah, that we don't fully understand, they're they're very capable of, of homing in on, on where they originated from. And we've had bears in this study do that. We've had bears that have traveled, over a hundred miles. And they had one animal that, that, went from Big South Fork on the almost Kentucky line to almost the Georgia line right there at Chattanooga, Tennessee, so you can see the the extent and the capability of, of these animals to, to move.

Joe Clark's team is trying to relocate female black bears to areas of the Southeastern United States which have not had black bear populations for over one hundred years. Today, they are tracking a female bear tagged over a year ago. Once they have located her den she will be tranquilized and prepared for the one hundred mile journey to what they hope will be her new home range. We're trying to target females with cubs. They give birth in the winter time while they're hibernating in those dens during, during January. Here it is March, and the cubs will be you know six weeks, eight weeks old. We've going to immobilize her, move her up to Big South Fork about a hundred miles from here place her in a den that we've chosen for her.

She will wake up and she will wonder obviously you know... where am I? But she's basically stuck there because she's got these young cubs that she has to care for. So, when she emerges from that den in mid-April or May she'll have these very young, very immobile cubs that will not be able to follow her back to the Smoky Mountains. So she's basically stuck there Clark's team has already found that the female bear they are targeting today has four cubs all of which will have to be moved with the mother to their new home. She and her cubs are sleeping in the hollow below a fallen tree. It's the end of the hibernation season and the team has to approach the den with great care or the mother may awaken and bolt, abandoning her cubs.

By early May, the family is settled in its new territory. The reintroduction effort has been successful because the mother's maternal instinct has overridden her homing instinct. The cubs are now following their instincts making a mental map of their new home range Kodiak Island off the Alaskan coast is home to one of the world's largest concentrations of brown bears. It is February, and deep inside a well protected den a female has given birth to four cubs. Brown bears produce litters only once every three to five years usually consisting of just two cubs. Even the healthiest mother is unlikely to give birth to more than eight cubs in her lifetime. Because of this low birth rate mothers will go to great lengths to ensure the survival of their offspring.

Driven by hunger the mother gathers her cubs and leaves the den. She has lost nearly fifty percent of her body weight. But thanks to her highly developed memory and compass sense she knows that there is a source of food over this mountain. First, she introduces the cubs to the cold conditions on the mountain. The cubs eventually get the courage to venture onto the unfamiliar snow. But once they are settled, they become playful reluctant to continue the climb. At the mountain summit, the mother and her cubs rest. But while three of her cubs appear healthy the smallest is already showing signs of weakness.

Bears are normally solitary animals. But in September, when the salmon are running the concentrated abundance of food brings them together in groups of up to fifty. This is when young bears get a lesson in hunting their own food. They will remember this site for the remainder of their lives and come back year after year. Finally, the mother and three of her cubs arrive at the stream. Her  smallest has died on the mountain. And now they face a new threat. A large male blocks their path to the river. A female with cubs is not sexually receptive. But if the male can kill the cubs it's possible that she'll eventually come into season and mate with him.

The mother tries to warn the male off but he continues to stalk the cubs. The mother charges the male with a display of great ferocity. She may be smaller than he is but her maternal instinct gives her the upper hand. Eventually, the male leaves. Whenever bear cubs are vulnerable these confrontations will be played out again and again. Aggressive black bears can be thwarted by mothers signaling their cubs to climb out of danger.

Black bears can communicate not just warnings but a surprisingly sophisticated range of emotions. It's easy to read the emotions of bears because that's their main communication......not so much communicating detail but in communicating their emotions about a situation. And, they, they seem to have all the emotions that we have. And there's, three levels of communication that they use. There's the grunts that mothers use to their cubs and that they use to, to friendly bears and sometimes to people.

There's, a next higher level of intensity where they're expelling air sometimes quite sharply in different ways. And many of these are expressions of fear. And then they have deep resonant human-like voice that's used to experience a range of of emotions of high intensity. This can be, great pleasure, great fear, pain, anger. They have, as far as I can see they've got all the same emotions that we do. Dan, you'll drop off two people and then come down and pick up Chip. And then thirty-three is probably going to be in this canyon right up in here so we want to move her up front.

Low birth rates and the ever present threat of predators makes the survival rates of bears an important issue for scientists. This team, led by Vic Barnes is studying bears using electronic collars. These devices must be replaced every three years. The bears are targeted with a tranquilizing drug giving researchers a few minutes to fit new collars. Barnes has discovered that sixty percent of bears die before the end of their third year.

A lot of information on habitat use critical feeding areas critical denning areas, their home ranges. We also get an awful lot of good information on productivity and survival. We've had some animals we've been marking animals for ten to eleven years. Some animals we have a good ten year history on them. We've followed them through two and three litters. We know the survival of the litters. Right now about, only about forty percent of the of the cubs that we identify in the spring survive to be weaned at two and three years old. Given that so few bears reach their maximum life span of thirty years it is surprising they haven't evolved a more prolific breeding strategy. Only one in three brown bear females will breed in any given year.

So for a male to successfully mate each year he must travel up to four hundred fifty square miles to encompass the home range of at least three females. When he eventually finds a receptive female he mates with her many times a day for up to a week to ensure fertilization. The reproductive stakes get even higher when it comes to pandas. Females are receptive for only two to three days a year between March and May and produce on average only one cub every two years. Female giant pandas travel within a range of little more than a square mile.

Males scent mark commonly used panda trails with a form of perfumed grease. But scent is only one mating signal and a relatively temporary one at that.Biting trees and stripping their bark lasts longer. And all of these elaborate efforts are for nothing if the female is not in heat. This male appears to be making very little progress. When a female panda gives birth she can only look after one cub at a time and leaves any other newborn to die.

At the Wolong Giant Panda Research Station in China's Szechwan Province researchers are nursing the cubs that their mothers cannot care for. This rejected three month old cub was one of twins but this represents only a small success. The giant pandas remain firmly on the endangered species list. American black bears have survived best of all to the present day with a population that may be as large as three quarters of a million. But the numbers of brown bears have fallen dramatically to no more than one hundred fifty thousand. There are no firm estimates for the Asiatic black bear.

There may be forty thousand polar bears but less than two thousand spectacled bears. There are between seven hundred and one thousand giant pandas and between one thousand and ten thousand sloth bears. As for the sun bears, no one really knows. Now more than ever, these bears must depend upon the adaptability that has brought them this far to ensure their continued survival.

Extra virgin, an olive ovation


Watching Marianne Prey explain the origins,various applications and flavor profiles of extravirgin olive oils, flavored olive oils and balsamic vinegars is like watching an expert sommelier describe wine. She knows the artisan producers she works with by name, what ingredients they use and how they grow and harvest olives. For the past six years Prey has shared this extensive reserve of knowledge – and inventory – of oils, vinegars and specialty products with customers at her shop, Extra Virgin, an Olive Ovation, which relocated from Clayton to Ladue in July. “I’ve always loved to cook, and I’ve always loved olives,” Prey says. “One of my first food memories, when I was four years old, was eating green olives. It seems like it’s a natural fit.” The new store offers 400-square-feet more space than the old, including a 20-person event area, and offers more room for inventory.

Prey says she built the entire space from scratch, with the intention to recreate the Mediterranean feel of the former store. Warm Tuscan colors wrap the shop, with lovely accent painting done by Prey herself. At the center of the new space is a large tasting bar where customers can sample the extensive selection of oils and vinegars. At any given time Extra Virgin features an inventory of 30 to 40 extra virgin olive oils – including a handful on tap – as well as flavored oils, flavored wine vinegars and balsamic and flavored vinegars, and a huge selection of artisan dips, spreads, pastas, sauces and condiments. “The most rewarding part has always been introducing customers to new things,” Prey says. “To products they can’t find anywhere else in St. Louis and showing them what good olive oil really tastes like.” – L.M.8829 Ladue Road, Ladue, 314.727.6464 extravirginoo.com

Three Palate-Pleasing Products


| 1 | Robbins Family Farm balsamic vinegar, which Prey says is the shop’s most popular bottle. “It’s thick, it’s rich, it’s sweet,” she says. “It has a very distinctive grape flavor.”

Organic Sundried Garlic Spread (7.05 ounce)


| 2 | Prey describes this sundried garlic spread from Tunisia as a versatile specialty item. “It’s roasted garlic in extra virgin olive oil,” she says. “The cloves are very soft and spreadable; it just has a tremendous flavor. It’s an all-purpose condiment.”


| 3 | Extra Virgin, an Olive Ovation’s private label of extra virgin olive oil. “We get this from a small family olive grove in Northern California,” she says. ”They grow one particular olive called arbequina, and make award-winning oil for us. It has enough flavors so you can use it as finishing oil, but it’s mild enough to use for all purpose.”

GET READY TO RIDE

GET READY TO RIDE

You may be able to sweat out a tough 45-minute group ride, but on your own that’s likely less realistic. This workout will keep you committed and riding hard for about 20 to 30 minutes. The first step is creating a playlist with seven songs. Think of this as your “trainer”— the songs, which are based on specific beat-per-minute (or BPM) ranges, will help push you through your workout and keep
you focused on moving at the right pace and intensity. Once your playlist is ready (see examples here), ride along to this plan for the calorietorching, moodboosting benefits of a class ride.

1. BPM 100–110
Superstition
STEVIE WONDER
(about five minutes)
This is your warm-up. Keep the resistance low (around 20 percent of your total power output, or a two out of 10 efort level) and stay seated: You’re enjoying yourself without pushing. Muscles start
to unlock, shoulders are relaxed, and hands are light on the handlebars wherever they’re comfortable.

2.BPM 100–110
Stronger
KANYE WEST
(at least three minutes)
Turn the resistance up a little (to about five out of 10) and stand up out of the seat. Your hands should be on top of the handlebars (rather than holding the sides) without leaning too much on them. If you’re tall, you may feel more comfortable reaching out to the end of the bars, which is perfectly fine. Keep your chin up and chest proud, and focus on your abs—think light and tight as you
ride, engaging your core the entire time. Get deep into the music here: It’s important to use the song to keep your pedal stroke on beat with the music.

3.BPM around 115
Get Lucky
DAFT PUNK
(at least three minutes)
Leave the resistance where it is and take a seat. Your pace and intensity will increase (to about 60 percent), and your cadence (the rate at which you pedal your feet around) should stay with the beat of the song. Keep your hips back in the seat, knees pointing forward, abs tight, shoulders relaxed, and feet flat. The real art of the ride here is that your foot speed stays with the song.

4. BPM around 115
Lose Yourself to Dance (Remix)
DAFT PUNK FEAT. PHARRELL
(at least four minutes)
Everything stays the same—don’t touch the resistance or get out of your seat—but you’ll be interjecting fast-paced sprints (up to 80 or 90 percent of your total power) throughout the song. Ride at a steady pace for at least a minute, and then speed up for 30 to 60 seconds. You can also take a less technical, but just as efective, approach: Let the music tell you when to sprint. Sometimes this will be during the main chorus when the beat picks up, or it could be a particular verse that always really inspires you. Either way, you’re looking to get in roughly eight to 10 sprints during this song.

##MIRROR, MIRROR##
If possible, face your bike toward a mirror so you can watch yourself; if not, stay focused by closing your eyes from time to time during your ride.

5.BPM around 120
Take California
PROPELLER HEADS
(at least five minutes)
It’s time to tackle a hill, and there are two ways you can do this climb: Crank up the resistance (to about 70 to 80 percent of your total power output) and stand up out of your seat; or stay seated and only turn up the resistance slightly (to 65 to 70). Whichever you choose, it should be the most challenging resistance level of your entire workout. (If you have knee problems, be sure to listen to
your body during the workout. Climbing seated is more challenging on the meniscus and IT band.) Be sure to keep your hips back and your feet flat as the balls of your feet push the resistance forward. If you want to mix it up, you can come out of your seat for a count of 16, then sit back down for 16, and continue alternating.

6.BPM 140–160
Flashdance (Remix)
DAVID GUETTA
(at least five minutes)
Choose your personal Rocky-like theme song here—the song that truly gets you going—because this is where you push yourself to the limit. Turn down the resistance slightly (to where it was before the hill) and stay seated as you ride as hard as you can. It’s super-important to watch your form when you’re pushing this hard: Keep your abs tight, your knees in (not bowed out like you’re riding a horse), and your shoulders relaxed. If you find yourself slowing at all, take 30 seconds at a slower pace, then crank it back up—don’t give up until the end of the song!

7.BPM 95–100
A Thousand Years
CHRISTINA PERRI
(at least four minutes)
You made it! This is your cooldown—your time to get calm, realign your body, and give yourself gratitude for making it through a tough workout. Close your eyes, listen to the song (it should be one
that puts you into a great head space), and ride at a comfortable pace to bring your heart rate back down. At the end, spend five minutes stretching your quads, hamstrings, and glutes to help reduce post-ride soreness.

Glucosamine and Osteoarthritis Question

Glucosamine and Osteoarthritis Question
Q:  Today we will discuss about glucosamine and osteoarthritis. Glucosamine is the treatment for Osteoarthritis and its known to be very useful. Our first question is about glucosamaine is that a medication or a supplement?

A:  We may classify them into 2 types for the chemical agent with good mechanism of action, has a good standard and has a correct amount that we will classify it as a medication drug because this agent can harm the cells in our body but if it's not prepared using the correct method with uncertain amount mostly we classify this as a supplement, so glucosamine has 2 groups, glucosamine sulphate and glucosamine hydrochloride, hydrochloride is a supplement but for the crystalline glucosamine sulphate we classify them as drugs.

Q:  For the supplements so we have to ask first because the audiences will think that if they will buy this supplement it can be a substitute the same there is a study of fundamental science to the patient that has no effect since the essential radical in our cartilage is sulphate that will connect with essential molecules inside the cartilage sulphate process is so difficult it needs a lt of energy therefore according to the research it must be glucosamine sulphate only and our orthopedics medical society conducted a research and their conclusion is that the patient with osteoarthritis most especially the elderly, must use anti-inflammatory drugs continuously more than 3 months and could not inhibit the symptom and if the patient has no plan to undergo a surgery this is one of the indicators of using these drugs when they use glucosamine sulphate for 3 months they should stop if the symptoms has been gradually disappear if the patient get well they can stop using medication and no need to use glucosamine in the further but if the symptoms will relapse, it is advisable to use the drug again for 3 months and do the estimateion again, so if we follow the research of the Royal college of physician that may nit the most of consumption.

Q:  And when we talk about glucosamine drugs right now are there any main druds for treatment of osteoarthritis?

A:  t's the supplement drug so, that's the degeneration delaying drug and the treatment of osteoarthritis must be included with a lot of thing, the patient need to understand that how about their lifestyles, they need to limit all of the factors that can trigger the inflammation such as the over weight, incorrect using and lifestyle modification because the drug is a one method treatment  only and you don't have to use them forever.

Q:  Yes, at last would you please advice the audiences in their homes, to those who take this medications and to those who are not glucosamine in fact that is so necessary and hw about its indicator?

A:  So, this drug is not same as elixir that everybody can take, we can only use this in some group of patients and use it carefully that will give us the best advantage this drug maybe one of the best treatments for osteoarthritis but better prevention and avoiding of risk factors is also necessary.

How to use walnut oil

How to use walnut oil
Buy walnut oil 16.9 ounce oil can



The rich, roasted flavor of this sleeper ingredient gives finesse and resonance to a range of winter dishes, plus salads, baked goods, and the simplest vegetable saut?s.It’s never been easier to work into your culinary repertoire: Traditionally produced in France, it’s now made in the United States as well, so it’s more affordable and readily available.

All About Walnut Oil



Roasting the walnuts before they’re pressed and filtered gives this oil its distinctive warm flavor. Like walnuts themselves, the oil is an excellent plant-based source of polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids. Because exposure to light and heat can quickly turn the oil rancid, buy a brand sold in a metal tin and refrigerate after opening.

Flavor Booster


Banana walnut muffins
preheat oven to 350 .Line 24 mufintin cups with paper liners. Beat 4 ripe bananas with a mixer on medium speed until mashed. Beat in 1 cup packed light-brown sugar, 1/2 cup walnut oil, and 1 large egg until smooth. reduce speed to low. add 1 cup each all-purpose and whole-wheat flours, 1 teaspoon each baking powder and baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt; beat until smooth.
Beat in 1/2 cup nonfat yogurt and 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract until combined. Fold in 1 cup chopped toasted walnuts. Fill mufin liners 3/4 full; bake until a tester comes out clean, 20 minutes.

Quick Trick


Saut?ed green beans with walnuts
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and swirl in 2 tablespoons walnut oil. Saute' 8 ounces trimmed green beans or haricots
verts, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender. Season with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper and sprinkle with coarsely chopped toasted walnuts.

Tip
Whisk
Whisk it into vinaigrettes for bitter or peppery greens like belgian endive, chicory, frisee, and arugula. Its nutty depth stands up to such assertive vinegars as red-wine and tarragon.
Drizzle
Drizzle it over a winter salad of crisp, tart apple with celery and pecorino. It’s also delicious on fresh or cooked vegetables like fennel, carrots, and butternut squash, or try it on a mix of brussels sprouts and mushrooms.
Stir
Stir it into cooked rice or mashed potatoes for added richness. Use it as a finishing oil for pastas and hearty soups such as minestrone. Use it sparingly in place of mayo in chicken salad.

The Walking Dead


When the dead attack the living,

there are no easy choices
Publisher: Telltale Games
Developer: Telltale Games

Surviving is one thing, but living with yourself is another in Telltale Game’s The Walking Dead. Its survivors skirt around the comic and television series, telling a new story of the zombie apocalypse come to Georgia. A smattering of adventure game puzzles and action segments bow to its adaptive narrative—this game is all about making choices. Characters live and die by your words and actions; who appears and what happens in each episode depends on who you help and who you forsake. It’s up to you to decide what’s most important, but remember, a little girl is watching and learning about how to live in the new world.

Payday 2


Pull off the perfect heist

Publisher: 505 Games
Developer: Overkill Software

A good heist needs a bit of planning, plenty of communication, and a touch of intimidation to end with duffel bags full of cash. A bad heist just needs ample ammunition and body bags to clean up the mess. Robbing a well-secured institution involves many moving parts—not just squirming hostages. Keep in mind that Payday 2’s extended scenarios track your performance over multi-mission arcs, rewarding your team for precision strikes with less police interference, friendlier criminal cohorts, and more cash.

Kerbal Space


Program Build, fly, and watch the fiery demise of custom rockets

Publisher: Squad
Developer: Squad

Ever looked at a space shuttle and thought, “I could do better?” Well, it’s time to put your rocket science where your mouth is, buddy, because Kerbal Space Program is all about putting adorable little green dudes on the moon. Or at least in orbit. Or at least somewhere above the... oh, nope, they just crashed into a plume of fire and broken dreams again. KSP is goofy and challenging; chances are, you’ll fail dozens of times before finally building a space-worthy rocket. But that doesn’t mean you won’t feel like Neil Armstrong and Elon Musk rolled into one when your Kerbal crew leaves its first boot prints on an alien world.

Amnesia:  The Dark Descent


Hide for your life and sanity

Publisher: Frictional Games
Developr: Frictional Games

There are jump scares, and then there are dark, quiet horrors that tie stomachs in knots and submerge their sufferers in nauseating suspense. Amnesia: The Dark Descent generally
goes for the latter. Despite inspiring a renaissance of firstperson horror, Amnesia’s penchant for producing boundless dread remains unmatched. Players must balance physical health, mental fortitude, and all-important lantern oil as they explore a dingy castle full of unsettling sights and freakish monsters. Fighting its native horrors is out of the question, so you’d better keep an eye on the nearest closet or dark corner to hide in... and hope you’re alone in there.

Counter-Strike:Global Offensive


An old dog learned some new tricks

Publisher: Valve
Developer: Valve

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive doesn’t fix what isn’t broken. The original CS helped propel competitive PC gaming to its industry-defining state today, so a graphical overhaul, a few
equipment tweaks, and some new modes are more than enough to modernize the lethal classic. Veterans of de_dust and bomb-defusing neophytes alike can find a lot to love in this
update. Classic modes like hostage rescue and bomb defusal remain intact, but an official Gun Game mode (called Arms Race here) should be enough to get anybody on board. Don’t let the terrorists win. Unless you spawn as a terrorist.

Mark of the Ninja


Stylish sidescrolling stealth honed to a shuriken’s edge

Publisher: Microsoft Studios
Developer: Klei Entertainment

When a guard sees his partner strung up from a chandelier just in time for the lights to go out and 180 pounds of ninja to land on his chest, you begin to wonder why stealth sucks so much in every other game. Mark of the Ninja takes the simple act of sneaking around in a 2D environment and builds, polishes, and simplifies until it’s more or less a lifestyle choice.
You don’t have to stay quiet in Mark of the Ninja if its gratuitous combat beckons, but you seldom need to bloody your blade if you prefer wearing the shadows. Whichever path you decide to take, a generous checkpoint system and ample replayability means each scenario can (and should) play out a dozen ways. This is easily one of the best ninja games ever made.

Rogue Legacy


Each ancestor’s grave is just a stepping stone to success

Publisher: Cellar Door Games
Developer: Cellar Door Games

In this brilliant fusion of lethal Castlevania-inspired exploration and persistent RPG advancement, you can get rich and die trying. Every hero that delves into Rogue Legacy’s sidescrolling dungeons will find a treacherous new layout to map and plunder. But death is just an intermission: you can begin again as one of your character’s descendants, who benefits from all the cash, equipment, and abilities his or her forebears found and
purchased. Each descendant has a distinct class and genetic quirks like color blindness or gigantism, so getting to know your new character is almost as fun as exploring the ever-changing environment.

Metro 2033


Post-apocalyptic Moscow’s horrors mostly don’t go in the subway

Publisher: THQ / Deep Silver
Developer: 4A Games

You need to do a few things to survive in the tunnels under Moscow: scavenge everywhere and everything, always keep a few gas mask filters on hand, and try to save the good bullets for special occasions. Metro 2033’s wrecked tunnels and brief, terrifying surface interludes make a unique setting for a grim first-person shooter. Its story of tenuous survival in a nuclear winter (which destroyed the surface world and produced scads of
deadly mutants) is based on a Russian novel, but this ain’t no Tolstoy.

Teleglitch


Build guns and set traps in this top-down shooter roguelike

Publisher: Paradox Interactive
Developer: T3P

Teleglitch looks like Doom fan fiction. Instead of a first-person romp through a moon base, it’s a tense top-down shooter with scarce ammunition and plentiful enemies. Fortunately, your lone survivor is clever, and junk like tin cans and nails can be crafted into deadly weapons. Teleglitch’s randomly generated environments are pixelated, but subtle
perspective shifts and distortion create a surreal sense of motion. Mind your woeful line of sight and you just might make it to the exit.

The Witcher 2:Enhanced Edition
 
Enter a dark and memorable fantasy world

Publisher: Warner Bros. Interactive
Developer: CD Projekt Red

The Witcher series has a complex story with many significant characters and compounding player choices. But main character Geralt of Rivia is an amnesiac, anyway, so it’s not like
anybody can expect you to remember them if you didn’t play the first game. You, on the other hand, will remember The Witcher 2’s intricate towns, deep plotlines, and intense,
fight-for-your-life battles. You’ll also remember how good it is to be a PC gamer when you get all this for just shy of $20.

Raise Your Fitness Game

Raise Your Fitness Game
HIITtraining?That’s so last year. Bikram? Been there, wore the small pants.We asked the experts for the hottest fitness trends of 2014 and howthey’ll transformyour body forever

1. SPEEDFLEX
The new cross training
WHAT IT IS: Fear not. This high-intensity interval training isn’t half as scary as its predecessor. It is based around a free motion bar, where the more force you apply to it, the more resistance you have pushed back against you from the machine. “This form of training reduces micro tearing of the muscles so you don’t get muscle soreness and will still want to train the next day,” says physiotherapist Stuart Ayles. Steady on now.
CALORIE BURN: 800-1,200 per 45-minute session.
GREAT FOR: Arms and overall fitness levels.

2. ESSENTRICS
The new Pilates
WHAT IT IS: It might sound like the latest wigheaded indie band, but Essentrics is, in fact, a Pilatesinspired workout based on stretching muscles before strengthening them in the elongated position to create a longer, leaner, more toned shape. “It makes your waist thinner, stomach flatter, legs leaner and bum more toned. Most people see resultswithin a month,” says celebrity fitness
expert LauraWilliams. Now that’smusic to our ears.
CALORIE BURN: 276 per 30-minute session.
GREAT FOR: Posture and sculpting lean muscle.

3. SOULCYCLE
The new spinning
WHAT IT IS: The wait is over. SoulCycle, a cycling and body-sculpting class, has a cult following in the US and now it’s coming here. As riders mount stationary bikes, the lights are dimmed, candles are lit and the instructor cues a playlist that’s timed to give you motivation and energy just when you need it. “Giving encouragement directly with motivation means you’ll keep going back,” says
David Stalker, CEO of UK Active. Count us in.
CALORIE BURN: 500 per 45-minute session.
GREAT FOR: Thighs, bum and cardio fitness.

4. BOKWA
The new Zumba
WHAT IT IS: If you have two left feet then Bokwa might be the dance workout for you – as long as you knowthe alphabet. The South Africanborn cardio-dance craze focuses on drawing letters
and numbers with your feet. Then you add shoulder shakes, jumps and… well, whatever you want really. “You’ll end up drippingwith sweat by the end, but it doesn’t even feel like exercise because you’re having fun,” says trainer Giancarla Pozzo. Shimmy on down.
CALORIE BURN: 530 per one-hour session.
GREAT FOR: Intense cardio and flexibility.

5. SANDBELLS
The new dumbbells
WHAT IT IS: These neoprene sand-filled weights are a cross between a sandbag, dumbbell, grip bag, medicine ball and kettlebell. In weights from3kg to 12kg, you can slam, smash, drop and throw them – ideal for circuit training. “You get a diferent workout every time and surprising your body boosts weight loss,” says Lee Matthews, head of fitness at Fitness First. Just don’t try ‘smashing’ a kettlebell now.
CALORIE BURN: 300 per one-hour session.
GREAT FOR: Arms and core.

6. AQUA CYCLING
The new aqua aerobics
WHAT IT IS: If you love spin but your joints don’t, there’s a workout that’s just as efective – and kinder to your body. The bikes at aquAllure rest on the pool floor and use waist-high water for resistance. “The low-impact cardio improves aerobic endurance, increases breathing capacity and improves blood flow and flexibility,” says Stalker. Pedal power indeed.
CALORIE BURN: 200 per 30-minute session.
GREAT FOR: Saddlebags.

7. BARRECORE
The new Balletcise
WHAT IT IS: Barrecore is a hybrid of Pilates and ballet, with cardio, light weights, isometric movement and, of course, moves at the barre. “The isometric movement drives insulin into the cells,” says Williams. “It helps your body utilise sugar in your bloodstream instead of storing it as fat.” But it’s not all about weight loss. “Ballet improves posture so your waist looks smaller.” Legwarmers optional.
CALORIE BURN: 500-600 per one-hour session.
GREAT FOR: Bum, core and overall toning.

8. OMNIA TECHNOGYM
The new circuit training
WHAT IT IS: If you want a 360 workout, you need this piece of kit in your life. The all-in-one apparatus is flexible and has options for strength, resistance, stability, coordination, flexibility and speed. “This is best for private or small group training, with the instructor standing in the middle of the group,” says Alan Holl, head of fitness at Virgin Active. That means no hiding at the back of the
class – we know your tricks.
CALORIE BURN: 300 per 30-minute session.
GREAT FOR: All-over toning.

9. ANTI-GRAVITY YOGA
The new inverted yoga
WHAT IT IS: It looks like a baby bouncer, but don’t worry, no-one’s going to burp you. In anti-gravity yoga, you use a hammock to do yoga, Pilates and dance moves. Converts, including Gwynnie,
say the technique allows them to get into advanced inverted poses other exercises can’t reach. “AntiGravity yoga relieves compressed joints and aligns the body, so you can stretch further,” says
fitness expert Brett Hoebel. No spitting out your dummy.
CALORIE BURN: 600 calories
per one-hour session.
GREAT FOR: Your back.

Inversion Sling - Yoga Swing

10. PADDLEBOARD YOGA
The new Bikram
WHAT IT IS: If standing on your head on a mat is hard, try doing it on water. Paddleboard yoga has set sail fromthe States and arrived in the UK. SUP yoga is for all levels, even if you haven’t mastered every pose on dry land. “There’s a calmness to being gently rocked by the water so even though you’re working harder than on a yoga mat you adapt to the board quickly,” says
paddleboard yoga instructor Jana Olenio. Worth checking the shipping forecast first.
CALORIE BURN: 276 per
30-minute session.
GREAT FOR: Core and thighs.
