After all, if Google was entering the tablet field directly then how could it resist the potentially very lucrative 10-inch market? And here we are, just a few short months after the Nexus 7's launch and Google is taking the fight to Apple, going head-to-head for tablet supremacy. It's not going to be an easy fight for Google; the iPad has always been in a league of its own and has a serious head start, but Google isn't entering the fray unprepared. At $399 for the 16GB model the Google Nexus 10 is $100 cheaper than the equivalent iPad 4, which is $499. In fact, $499 is what a 32GB Nexus 10 costs. Once again, it's $100 cheaper than the equivalent Apple tablet, since a 32GB iPad 4 will run you $599. Don't think that just because it's relatively cheap it's not a premium powerhouse device. With a retina-searing 10.05-inch 2560 x 1600 Super PLS display, it's even higher resolution than the latest iPad, with 300 pixels per inch against the iPad 4's 264ppi. That makes it the highest resolution tablet in existence. With a display that beautiful it's reassuring to know that it uses Corning Gorilla Glass 2 to keep it in pristine condition. It's no slouch under the hood either. With a dual-core 1.7GHz Samsung Exynos processor and 2GB of RAM it should have no problem keeping pace with the fastest Android devices. It comes with Android 4.2 out of the box and being a pure Google tablet, it will be one of the first devices to get the next version of Android, keeping it up to date and future proofed for as long as possible. It's the same tactic used for the Google Nexus 7 - produce top end hardware at the lowest price possible to get people buying. It's even learned a few lessons from the Nexus 7, as this time is isn't bothering with a cripplingly small 8GB model and making a 32GB version available from day one. Early sales of the Google Nexus 10 have been extremely promising. Despite the slightly higher price tag compared to other tablets on the market, the Nexus 10 has sold out on Google's Play Store on multiple occasions, with buyers clearly entranced by the super high resolution screen and larger dimensions. Right now, the Google Nexus 10 is Wi-Fi only, but if you want 3G or 4G you might not have to wait too long, as the Nexus 7 has just been made available with 3G, so we expect the Google Nexus 10 will follow suit.

Amazon's Kindle line includes tablets and eBook readers. The Fire tablets are usually cheaper than other tablets while still offering all the capabilities that you need. However, the Kindle eReaders tend to be the best digital readers available and, therefore, more expensive than other eBook readers. But how do you choose the best for you? The Kindle Fire tablets are good for people who multimedia features. If you prefer to watch movies, stream video, listen to music, surf the web and read comic books without switching devices, these tablets give you a full range of options at a low price. On the other hand, if you want an excellent reading experience without any distracting apps or games, the Kindle eReaders allow you to download thousands of eBooks, magazines, newspapers and comics, and the batteries tend to last several weeks, instead of several hours. When we compared Kindles, we favored overall capabilities and functionality over physical design and battery life. Among the various models available, we were most impressed by the Kindle Fire HDX 8.9, Kindle Fire HDX and Kindle Fire HD 6. If you're still having trouble deciding which Kindle is best for you, we also have several articles about the best Kindles. BEST KINDLE COMPARISON: WHAT TO LOOK FOR With so many products to choose from, deciding which Kindle is best for you can be difficult. The following criteria will help you decide which device suits you. Capabilities The Kindle Fire tablets differ in purpose from the simpler Kindle eBook readers, and deciding between the two styles is purely a matter of preference. If you just want a device for downloading and reading text, you'd do well to buy one of the Kindle eReaders with your desired screen size, storage capacity and web connectivity options. Since tablets are growing in popularity, we gave preference to the Kindle Fire models, which give you the ability to not only read books, magazines, newspapers and documents, but also to use apps, play games, watch videos, manage your email and much more. Display & Design The size and weight of a Kindle can make or break your decision. An oversized device that is heavy can be a nuisance to hold, but a large device that is lighter is much easier to use and hold, even with one hand. Additionally, the display and resolution that the Kindle boasts makes a big difference. Whether you want to simply read or watch HD movies, the resolution can be a deal breaker if you love high resolution content. Battery Life & Storage The battery life that the two types of Kindles have will vary quite a bit. Like any tablet, the Fire models need daily recharging with heavy use. However, the eReaders can go weeks before the battery runs out. Additionally, be sure to select a device with enough internal storage to house your collections of books, magazines and newspapers as well as movies, TV shows and music. But keep in mind that storage becomes a smaller issue since Amazon gives Kindle users unlimited free storage space in its cloud. Usability The usability of the device will vary depending on the Kindle you choose, but the best Kindle will be easy to use in any circumstance regardless of your technological background. For instance, the best Kindle will be usable in different lighting situations, will have the ability to connect via Wi-Fi or cellular data, and will have parental controls, landscape mode, a touchscreen and adjustable brightness functions. With two different types of Kindles now available from Amazon, there’s a Kindle for every lifestyle and every personality. No matter which Kindle you choose, it will be a faithful reading companion, and the tech-forward Kindle Fire tablets will give you all the newest tablet features. STATE BANK eZ-PAY CARD The State Bank eZ-Pay card, a prepaid card issued in Indian Rupees in association with VISA international, is an ideal product for making periodical payments like Salary, Wages, Commission, Scholarship, Old age pension, other Social benefits etc. Payment of salaries to employees, who are located at different places, is generally a difficult proposition for employers as a single banking arrangement cannot be made for all employees. Cards can be loaded from a single point and the funds are available to the employees immediately. State Bank eZ-Pay Card is an ideal product for payment of: • Government disbursements like Scholarship, social benefits like NREGA, Anganwadi staff salary, old age pension etc. • Wages/Bonus/ incentives to employees. • Periodical payment of incentives to agents/ commission to distributors. • Remittances received from abroad, etc. One need not be an SBI account holder for purchasing State Bank eZ-Pay Card. Cash withdrawal/Balance enquiry can be made free of charge through State Bank Group ATMs. Balance can also checked online through login to https://prepaid.onlinesbi.com State Bank eZ-Pay card is enabled for Cash withdrawal, Balance enquiry at other Bank ATMs too (will be charged as prescribed from time to time) currently Rs.20/-Per withdrawal and Rs.9/- for balance enquiry.

Which is the best tablet for reading?

Which is the best tablet for reading? Nomad doesn't want an e-reader but he would like to buy a tablet for long hours of reading, particularly PDF files. Which one would be best? Google's Nexus 10 tablet, made by Samsung. Photograph: PR Jack Schofield Thursday 4 April 2013 15.08 BST Tablets are becoming popular as e-readers, for books, documents, PDFs etc. I'm wondering if there is an ideal screen resolution for long hours of reading text. Will the difference in ppi of the Google Nexus 10 and Apple iPad 4 produce a different reading experience? In particular, can the lower resolution Atom-based tablets with detachable keyboards such as the Lenovo ThinkPad 2 (with stylus!) compete with them for reading PDFs? I'd like to reproduce a paper-based reading experience, though I don't want an e-reader. I'm not an Apple fan, but I'm willing to buy an iPad if it offers the best reading experience. Nomad There is no "best" tablet for all kinds of reading in all kinds of situations, which can range from sitting out in the midday sun to reading in bed. Also, people have different responses to different types and sizes of screen, especially when reading for long periods. For example, I find very bright screens look really impressive for the first 10 or 15 minutes, but they soon become tiring, whereas I can comfortably read a dimmer, less-contrasty screen for longer. Others may find the opposite applies. In general, I think that e-readers provide the most book-like experience when reading for longer periods, and the front-lit Amazon Paperwhite Kindle (which I reviewed in Technophile) is by some distance the best of the bunch. However, I didn't find it that much better than my Google Nexus 7 for casual reading. Also, its small monochrome screen is not the best for every type of material. For example, if I wanted to read an illustrated magazine or a travel book then I'd prefer a bigger colour screen, like the one on the Apple iPad 4. When it comes to PDF files, it depends on the content. You can read PDF's that are mostly text on a Kindle, but PDFs that contain a lot of diagrams or colour illustrations will look better on a large, colour screen, especially if you need to jump backwards and forwards. The Kindle is designed for page-by-page reading. The Kindle Paperwhite e-reader is better than tablets at handling a wide range of lighting situations. Tablets are hard or sometimes impossible to read in bright sunlight, and their glossy screens can pick up annoying reflections. The Paperwhite also wins for being as small and light as a book. Larger tablets are much more fatiguing to hold for long periods. Tablet choices Advertisement If you'd still prefer a tablet, the Google Nexus 10 (made by Samsung) wins on its very high resolution display: 2560 x 1600 pixels, or 299 pixels per inch (ppi). Considered in isolation, this should give the best results when reading PDF files. Unfortunately, that doesn't necessarily mean you will find the difference significant at normal viewing distances, as opposed to peering at the screen from close range. The only way to find out is to try one. The iPad 4 has a similar resolution – 2048 x 1536 pixels or 264ppi – and comes at a slightly higher price, but I can't see that it has any advantage over the Nexus 10 for reading PDF files. It does, of course, have a massively better supply of tablet apps, if you are happy to buy into the Apple ecosystem. Not many Android apps do a good job of exploiting 10in screens. Otherwise, in terms of size, resolution and price, your best choice might be theKindle Fire HD. Its 8.9in screen is not that much smaller than an iPad (9.7in), and it has a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels or 254ppi. You lose access to the Android marketplace, now called Google Play, and the user interface is somewhat dumbed down, but it's good value for £225. By all means have a look at a Nexus 10: you may well find you love it. It was Kate Bevan's choice in her recent Technophile tablet comparison review, which includes a handy table of tablet specs. If not, you can get both a Kindle Paperwhite (£109) and an 8.9in Kindle Fire HD for about the same price as a Nexus 10. Windows tablets The main argument for buying a tablet such as the Atom-based Lenovo ThinkPad 2 is that it does double duty as both a touch-screen tablet and a Windows 8 laptop (or triple duty if you use the active digitising pen). I've not actually seen the ThinkPad 2, but I have had my hands on similar machines from Acer, Asus, Dell and Microsoft, and I've also tried other ThinkPads such as the Carbon X1, so I'm confident it will do the job. Although the resolution is limited to 1366 x 768 pixels (155ppi), this becomes a "retina screen" (you can't see individual pixels) at a viewing distance of 22in/56cm (see isthisretina.com). Text is very readable, thanks to Microsoft's ClearType, and you also get access to Windows' vast collection of good free software. However, Windows PC screens vary a lot, so it would also be a good idea to try the ThinkPad 2 if you can. From the Windows8 tablets I've tried, the screen on the Microsoft Surface RT was exceptionally good for reading, while the screens on the others were average. If you wouldn't be happy reading PDFs on an ordinary £350-ish Windows 7 laptop, you won't be happy reading PDFs on one of these. The drawback with most Windows 8 tablets is the Atom processor: usually the 1.8GHz dual-core Atom Z2670, code-named Cedar Trail. My first thought was that it's surprisingly nippy for an Atom, compared with the older versions found in most netbooks. My second thought was that it's still slower than I'd like for running real Windows programs. This is a somewhat unfair comparison, because you can't see how badly they'd run on Apple and Android tablets. Still, most people buying Windows 8 tablets expect them to run full Windows applications, not just "modern" (Metro-style) apps. The Atom's advantages are that it's cheap and it provides long battery life. This makes it competitive with the ARM-based chips used in Android tablets. But if you don't need something now, it might be worth waiting for the next version, code-named Bay Trail. This should appear in time for Christmas. Windows 8 works really well on touch-screen tablets, once you get the hang of the odd half-dozen swipes. They're obviously not as small as 7in tablets or 6in e-readers, but they're competitive with larger tablets: the ThinkPad 2, for example, weighs 585g (1.29lbs), which is less than a Nexus 10 (603g) or iPad 4 (652g). There's still a shortage of good touch-tablet apps in the Windows Store, but full-strength web access plus the wealth of old Windows software and peripherals make up for that. In sum, they're pretty good value if you don't need an iPad. However, if you don't really need a new laptop, the Nexus 10 and Kindle Fire HD are much cheaper options.

Top-Load Washing Machine Review

Top-Load Washing Machine Review By Kirsten Buck March 25th, 2014 The traditional top-load washing machine has undergone many changes over the years to keep up with its front-load washer competition. In the past, front-load washing machines were generally more energy efficient and gentler on your laundry. But things have changed. Newer top-loading washing machines have decreased their energy consumption and operating costs while increasing their features. In short, you get cleaner laundry at a better cost. Many new models have also switched out the traditional agitator for options like high-pressure jets and dual wash plates. This creates more space, is gentler on clothes and makes it easier to take laundry out of the washtub. Because we know that choosing a top-load washing machine can be overwhelming, we’ve done the research for you. We’ve determined the best top-loading washing machines to be the LG Mega Capacity, Maytag Bravos XL and Samsung WA500. We’ve also written some articles about top-load washers to help you choose the best washing machine for your situation. You can also check out our articles about top-load washers for some tips and advice. Top-Load Washing Machine: What to Look For You shouldn't make a major purchase, such as a top-loader washing machine, on a whim. To help you compare your options, we have rated the best washers in functionality, features, energy efficiency and manufacturer help and support. Functionality The most important thing to know about a washing machine is how well it works. We gave each machine in our lineup a score for washing performance to help you choose between comparable units. Tub size is also an important factor to consider. Larger washtubs are generally preferable because you can fit more clothing into each load, which saves both time and energy. Features Having a top-load washer with a myriad of wash cycles, options and other features really does make doing laundry less of a chore. The best top-load washing machines will include not only the basic wash cycles and features you would expect a washing machine to have, but also a handful of specialty wash cycles and advanced features, too. Energy Efficiency More and more consumers are adopting a greener lifestyle, and companies are catering to that shift by offering energy-saving units. The best top-load washers aren’t just Energy Star qualified – many also include energy-saving features such as an eco-friendly wash cycle. Help & Support A high-performing washer can be pricy; that’s why the unit’s warranty is extremely important. The best top-loading washing machines will offer a lengthy warranty for the motor and wash drum in addition to a standard one-year warranty for the unit’s parts and labor. Aside from a good warranty, getting help and support from the manufacturer when you need it is also important. You should be able to contact the manufacturer by phone and email for support, and it’s nice to be able to view frequently asked questions and the user manual for your top-load washer on its website. Fortunately, top-loader washing machines are not what they used to be. Upgrading your top-loader could give you better washing performance and a more energy-efficient appliance, which could turn into more money in your pocket in the long run. You’ll also enjoy the attractive and innovative features that today’s top-load washers are coming standard with.

Agitator

Washing machine agitators can damage clothes. Using an automatic washing machine is easier than beating your dirty laundry on a rock, but if you want to get your clothes clean, your machine has to somehow emulate the age-old motion of hand washing. Agitators and impellers are devices that top-loading washers use to move clothes during the wash cycles and, in the process, get rid of dirt and stains. Sponsored Link Laundry Machines Mfrs S V Garment Machinery Hyderabad. Manufacturer of Laundry Equipment! svgmindia.com/Post-Your-Requirement Agitators An agitator is a spindle that sticks up in the center of an automatic washing machine's wash drum. The agitator is usually equipped with fins or vanes, and it twists and turns during the machine's wash cycle, moving clothes through the water and, ideally, removing dirt from them. The motion of the agitator varies depending on the selected wash mode, so a delicate wash cycle is gentler than a standard wash cycle. In general, agitators are hard on clothes. Impellers An impeller is a low-profile rotating hub that replaces the agitator in some washing machine models. The vanes of the impeller create turbulent currents in the wash water as the impeller rotates. In theory, these currents move the clothes through the water and clean them without the impeller making physical contact with the clothes. The impeller also takes up less space in the center of the drum, making impeller machines easier to load than agitator machines. No Matches Found. Please try your search again. Efficiency Impellers are often found in high-efficiency washing machine models that use less water than traditional models and rotate at higher speeds during spin cycles. The higher spin speeds extract more water from the clothes, so drying times are reduced. The combination of water and energy savings makes these washer models significantly more efficient than traditional models. However, the impeller itself does not add to the machine's efficiency, so unless it incorporates other efficient features, an impeller machine is not necessarily more efficient than an agitator machine. Performance Impeller machines are potentially less damaging to clothes, but because of the gentler motion, they may not clean clothes as effectively as agitator machines. Agitators are relatively brutal with clothes, but their twisting and turning tends to remove dirt quickly and completely. Some impeller models are also prone to tangling clothes as the impeller rotates, which can throw the machine out of balance, particularly during the high-speed spin cycle of high-efficiency machines.

kindle text to speech dummies.com

Let Your Kindle Read to You with Text-to-Speech 7 of 11 in Series: The Essentials of Using a Kindle If you can’t read a book because you’re driving or for some other reason, both the second-generation Kindle and the Kindle DX have an "experimental" feature that converts any text to speech and reads it to you. Calling a feature experimental means that it's a peripheral Kindle feature that Amazon is working on; they’re available for Kindle owners to use but they might not be fully featured. These are also features that Amazon could choose to discontinue. Despite the "experimental" label, these are some of the most useful and intriguing features of the Kindle. One of these is the Text-to-Speech feature. It enables your Kindle to read books, newspapers, blogs, or other text to you. To access Text-to-Speech, follow these steps: Open the document that you want your Kindle to read to you. Press the Menu button. Select Start Text-to-Speech from the Menu options. The voice begins to talk. It’s remarkably human sounding for a computer-generated voice. You might find that the monotone expression and speed make the voice difficult to understand, however. You can adjust the volume by pressing the Volume Up or Volume Down button on the side of your Kindle. You can also adjust the speed at which the text is read, and choose either a male or female voice. These options (shown in the figure that follows) are available when you press the Aa key on the keyboard. image0.jpg You can listen to speech either with headphones or through the Kindle’s speaker. It’s the perfect option for long car rides. If your car’s audio system has an input jack for audio, you can connect the Kindle to it with a standard audio plug.

Can Peanut Butter Cause Indigestion? The causes of your indigestion may involve peanut butter, but most likely when other factors contribute to the disorder as well. Fatty foods and overeating can lead to indigestion. Unless you are highly sensitive to peanuts and other legumes, you would have to eat a lot of peanut butter for it to cause digestive problems. Peanut butter contains fat, but mostly unsaturated fat, often referred to as a healthy fat. Peanut butter also has some saturated fat. Causes When you feel full or experience abdominal distress, you are probably suffering from indigestion. Bloating, belching, heartburn and even nausea may occur. Eating too fast or eating too much can trigger indigestion, MedlinePlus notes. Fatty, greasy, spicy and gas-causing foods may result in the discomfort. Underlying problems contribute to or worsen symptoms. Stress, nervousness, smoking and drinking excessive amounts of caffeine or alcohol may cause indigestion. Health conditions that may increase indigestion include irritable bowel syndrome, gastritis, inflammation of the pancreas and gastric or duodenal ulcers. Peanut Butter Contents Peanut butter has a considerable amount of healthy nutrients, including fiber, which helps aid digestion and may prevent digestive difficulties when consumed in moderation. A serving, about 2 tablespoons, of peanut butter has about 12 grams of unsaturated fat compared to about 3 grams of saturated fat, according to Dr. Walter C. Willett in an article for the “Harvard Heart Letter.” Peanut butter may have health benefits to reduce the risk of heart disease because of the unsaturated fats that help improve cholesterol levels. Change Your Eating Habits Particular foods may cause indigestion for certain people. Some people find that high-fiber foods worsen their symptoms. In that case, peanut butter on whole-grain bread may cause digestive problems. It can also depend on the way you eat. Eating a delicious peanut butter sandwich may bring on the temptation to eat too fast, which can trigger indigestion. Take smaller bites and chew your food thoroughly to help your digestive system break down enzymes and avoid indigestion. When you take time to chew foods, you also slow down your eating to avoid overeating. Eating in a calm environment without excitement or arguments, chewing your food carefully and allowing enough time between meals so your food digests properly can help reduce or prevent indigestion. Points to Consider When eaten in moderation, peanut butter usually is digested well. However, if you suffer from an intolerance to legumes and develop indigestion or gas when you eat beans, peanut butter may have the same effect because peanuts are legumes, not nuts. Including other fatty foods with peanut butter or overeating may contribute to digestive problems. If you have a peanut allergy you may experience nausea, diarrhea and stomach pain, but not necessarily heartburn and indigestion symptoms. If you experience these symptoms, along with swelling, hives or trouble breathing, seek emergency medical attention.

Finger, Hand, and Wrist Problems, Non-Injury Topic Overview Your fingers, hands, or wrists may burn, sting, or hurt, or feel tired, sore, stiff, numb, tingly , hot, or cold. Maybe you can't move them as well as usual, or they are swollen. Perhaps your hands have turned a different colour, such as red, pale, or blue. A lump or bump might have appeared on your wrist, palm, or fingers. Home treatment is often all that is needed to relieve your symptoms. Finger, hand, or wrist problems may be caused by an injury. If you think an injury caused your problem, see the topic Finger, Hand, and Wrist Injuries. But there are many other causes of finger, hand, or wrist problems. Overuse problems • Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by pressure on a nerve (median nerve ) in the wrist. The symptoms include tingling, numbness, weakness, or pain of the fingers and hand. • Tendon pain is actually a symptom of tendinosis, a series of very small tears (microtears) in the tissue in or around thetendon . In addition to pain and tenderness, common symptoms of tendon injury include decreased strength and movement in the affected area. • De Quervain's disease can occur in the hand and wrist when tendons and the tendon covering (sheath) on the thumb side of the wrist swell and become inflamed. See a picture of de Quervain's disease . • Repetitive motion syndrome is a term used to describe symptoms such as pain, swelling, or tenderness that occur from repeating the same motion over and over. • Writer's cramps develop with repeated hand or finger motion, such as writing or typing. • Trigger finger or trigger thumb occurs when the flexor tendon and its sheath in a finger or thumb thicken or swell. Bone, muscle, or joint problems • Dupuytren's disease is an abnormal thickening of tissue beneath the skin in the palm of the hand or hands and occasionally the soles of the feet. The thickened skin and tendons (palmar fascia) may eventually limit movement or cause the fingers to bend so that they can't be straightened.See a picture of Dupuytren's contracture . • Ganglion cysts are small sacs (cysts) filled with clear, jellylike fluid that often appear as bumps on the hands and wrists but can also develop on feet, ankles, knees, or shoulders. See a picture of a ganglion . Problems from medical conditions • Tingling or pain in the fingers or hand (especially the left hand) may be signs of a heart attack . • Diabetes may change how the hands normally feel or sense touch. Decreased feeling in the hands is common because of decreased blood flow to the hands or damage to nerves of the hand . • Pregnancy may cause redness, itching, swelling, numbness, or tingling that often goes away after delivery. • Osteoarthritis is the progressive breakdown of the tissue that protects and cushions joints (cartilage). It may cause stiffness and pain with movement. • Rheumatoid arthritis may cause stiffness and pain with movement. Over time, deformity of the fingers may occur.See a picture of rheumatoid arthritis . • Lupus is a long-lasting autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks normal body tissues as though they were foreign substances. It may cause joint pain. • Gout is an inflammatory joint disease that causes acute pain and swelling. It is a form of arthritis that develops when uric acid crystals form in and around the joints, commonly affecting the big toe joint. • Raynaud's phenomenon is a condition in which some areas of the body, usually the fingers or toes, have an extreme response to cold temperature or emotional stress. During an attack of Raynaud's, the blood vessels in the affected areas tighten, severely limiting the flow of blood to the skin, causing numbness, tingling, swelling, pain, and pale colour. • Infection can cause pain, redness, and swelling that occur with red streaking, heat, fever, or the drainage of pus. An infection often causes tenderness to the touch or pain with movement at the site of the infection. Check your symptoms to decide if and when you should see a doctor. Finger, Hand, and Wrist Problems, Non-Injury Home Treatment Home treatment may be all that is needed for a finger, hand, or wrist problem. • Remove all rings , bracelets, watches, or any other jewellery from your finger, wrist, or arm as soon as you notice swelling. It will be harder to remove the jewellery after swelling increases. • Use rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE) for pain and swelling. • Treat hands sensitive to cold by avoiding and protecting your hands from the cold. • Avoid sleeping on your hands, which may decrease blood flow to your fingers. • Treat blisters on fingers or hands. • Stop, change, or take a break from your activities. Try a non-prescription medicine to help treat your pain: • Acetaminophen, such as Tylenol • Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): o Ibuprofen, such as Advil or Motrin o Naproxen, such as Aleve • ASA (also a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug), such as Bayer or Bufferin Talk to your child's doctor before switching back and forth between doses of acetaminophen and ibuprofen. When you switch between two medicines, there is a chance your child will get too much medicine. Medicine you can buy without a prescription Be sure to follow these safety tips when you use a non-prescription medicine: • Carefully read and follow all directions on the medicine bottle and box. • Do not take more than the recommended dose. • Do not take a medicine if you have had an allergic reaction to it in the past. • If you have been told to avoid a medicine, call your doctor before you take it. • If you are or could be pregnant, do not take any medicine other than acetaminophen unless your doctor has told you to. • Do not give ASA to anyone younger than age 20 unless your doctor tells you to.

how to make peanut butter at home tarladalal.com

buttery flavour of peanuts the way creamy, crunchy peanut butter does. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are a cult favourite amongst both children and adults alike. Made primarily from roasted and ground peanuts, which when combined with oil produces the perfect emulsion. In some types of gourmet peanut butter, chocolate or other ingredients may be added. To make peanut butter at home, roast the peanuts on a slow flame till they turn light brown in colour. Once roasted, cool the peanuts quickly in order to prevent carry over cooking. This ensures that the natural oils remain intact. Take away the easily removable outer skin of the peanuts. Grind the peanuts with hydrogenated vegetable oil, sugar and salt as to taste. The oil acts as a natural stabilizer since it keeps the natural peanut oil from separating from the peanut butter and rising to the surface. However, since it won't have the added stabilizers that commercially produced peanut butter would, it is advisable to stir the home made peanut butter once in few days (since the oil may resurface to the top). How to select • While purchasing commercial peanut butter, ensure you check both the manufacturing and expiry date details. • However, if you are preparing peanut butter at home, ensure to use good quality peanuts for the recipe. Culinary Uses • The most common, easy and perhaps the most favourite way of consuming peanut butter is in between two slices of bread or on a single toast. • Peanut butter cookies, chocolate peanut butter bars, peanut butter and jam drops, are just some examples of the versatility of the product when used for baking. • They can also be used innovatively in a variety of cheesecakes and pie crusts. • Use them in combination with chocolate chips to make crunchy cakes. • Apart from using it for desserts, one can use peanut butter as a base to make spicy peanut butter dressings for salads. • It is also used to make sauces which is used in creating oriental cuisines. • Peanut butter cookies and truffles are a favourite amongst little children. How to store • Being very high in fat content, peanut butter runs the risk of getting rancid, so proper storage is of utmost importance. • Commercial varieties require no refrigeration and can be kept up to six months after opening. • Homemade peanut butter should be refrigerated in tightly-sealed containers and ideally used within a couple of weeks. • Turn the container upside-down occasionally to help redistribute the oils. • However, please note that freezing is not a very good option for storing peanut butter. • When badly preserved, it can host the mould Aspergillus flavus, which produces aflatoxin (a very toxic and carcinogenic substance), so your best bet is to always go with natural peanut butter. Health benefits • Peanut butter is a rich source of vitamins. • It is a good source of Biotin, also called Vitamin H. Biotin is a member of the B-complex family which is essential for the normal metabolism of fat and protein as well as for the absorption of vitamin C. Biotin is also said to be good for the hair. • Its rich folate and niacin (vitamin B3) content helps increase the HDL (good cholesterol) level by as much as 30%. • In addition to this, peanut butter contains much higher quantities of antioxidants than apples or carrots. This is because it is an excellent source of vitamin E, a potent anti-oxidant which protects polyunsaturated fatty acids in cell membranes from free-radical attack, thus helping prevent cancer. • Proteins are present in high amounts together with moderate amounts of beneficial minerals such as iron, magnesium, potassium, copper and calcium. Iron is essential for the correct functioning of your red blood cells, while calcium promotes healthy bones and shields against muscle spasms.

Reading ebooks on a phone – 5 ways to make the most of it ebookfriendly.com

A mobile phone can be a surprisingly good companion for everyone who wants to have access to their ebooks all day long. Most users don’t consider their phones as a “serious” e-reading device. In many cases the primary reason is a screen size: “it’s too small for reading.” It’s the attitude rather than a real problem. Most smartphones have at least the 4-inch display. It’s big enough to increase the font size to a level bigger than in printed books. This can happen without spoiling text justification, even when reading in portrait view. It’s not the font size that stops users from reading on a smartphone. The reason is that a smartphone as an object is much smaller than an average print book. We just don’t feel we’re holding a book in our hands. Even if you neglect the smartphone as a primary e-reading device, you can still use it to maximize the experience. You’ll read most useful tips in the list below. Before that, just two major facts to keep in mind: 1. It’s the smartphone that you always have with you Before leaving home you decide what you’ll need. Will I need a tablet? Will I have time to read on my Kindle? Well, I guess it’s pretty strange to take a tablet and not the phone when going out. We don’t separate from our phones, even during the night. The phone is always in a pocket, or a purse, or under a pillow. Any time we want, we take it out, check out Facebook, Instagram – so why not a Kindle app? 2. Keeping ebooks on one device is no longer the issue Kindle app is a good example of an essential benefit of ebooks. Major ebookstores offer book syncing. The latest read location is being updated on all devices registered to one user. You don’t need to have a device you downloaded the ebook to, to access it. 5 ways to use a phone to read and manage ebooks 1. Instant reading The synchronization is a really powerful feature. Not only Kindle, but also Kobo, Nook, and other major ebookstores, offer it. You can start reading a book on a Nook in the evening. When going to work, just take out your Samsung Galaxy Note 3, open the Nook app, and start reading exactly at the location you left off last night. In other words, you don’t need to take the Nook with you, if you know that you’ll only have a couple of minutes during a day to read something. With the smartphone that couple of minutes won’t be lost. Having a free app is not a big deal, but it gives an essential benefit: you can always have access to your ebook library, even if you don’t have a primary e-reading device with you. A mobile phone can be a great way to extend the number of contacts with the book. Short reading sessions during a day is not a crazy idea. Who said you need to read at least one hour in one go? 2. Testing applications The underestimated power of smartphones is that they are great testing devices. If you want to try ebooks, it doesn’t mean you have to immediately buy a Kindle Paperwhite. Just get a free Kindle application for you mobile phone and you’ll learn – in no time – about all advantages of ebook reading. Not only Amazon offers dedicated e-reading applications for mobile devices: smartphones and tablets. Barnes & Noble, Kobo, or Google have their apps, too. All these apps serve two purposes: allow you to read ebooks, give access to your cloud ebook library. Standard features of book reading applications are: customization of font size and typeface, themes or backgrounds to choose from (at least day and night mode), text highlighting, note taking, bookmarks, dictionary and reference, instant access to ebooks stored in your cloud library, syncing bookmarks and latest read locations, ability to add your own books, social sharing tools. Obviously, some apps do that better than others. Also – and this is where the smartphone comes handy – some apps fit your personal preferences better than others. When you test the specific app on a smartphone, you’ll know this is the least you can expect from a tablet version. You like much better the Nook app than the Google app? Take this into account when picking up a tablet. Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 Nook would be better than Google Nexus. 3. Testing ebookstores When you test the application, in fact you also test the ecosystem it belongs to. Let’s say you already have an account at Amazon or Barnes & Noble. You’ve already bought there a few or a lot of print books. Now, you can use the same login to test how many of these titles are available in a digital format. You can check out what are the differences in price between the paperback, the hardcover, the ebook, and the audiobook. Prices and availability are one area. The next one is how the ebookstore helps you manage your ebooks. Kindle is excellent in book syncing. The apps have some unique features, naming only X-Ray or Whispersync for Voice. If you’re more into social reading, forget about Kindle, and try Kobo. The social reading happens instantly while you read. The third big area for comparison is how ebookstores handle personal books. Kindle syncs them between devices. Kobo doesn’t. Only the Kindle lets send personal files via email. When you’ll dig deeper into each app, you’ll see which ebookstore understands your needs. The best part of it, is that you can do all the research on a device you already own. 4. Discovering books Book reading apps usually let you discover new books within the app. The exception is iOS, where this quite obvious feature is offered only by the Apple’s e-reading app iBooks. The other route for ebook discovery is mobile browsers. A couple of sites that offer free public domain ebooks, naming only Project Gutenberg and Feedbooks, adjusted their interface to mobile devices. On these sites, browsing for ebooks from a mobile phone is not a problem at all. You can also find books using other applications you frequently use: Twitter client, or even RSS feed reader. When it comes to Twitter, you can find books by searching for special tags like #ebooks, #ebook, #kindle, or their combination with URL shorteners like amzn.to (the one specific to Amazon). Amazon and Twitter offer a very convenient way to add items to your shopping cart. Simply, reply to any tweet containing a link to a Kindle ebook, and write down a hashtag #AmazonCart. What is very convenient is the fact, that when you have an e-reading app like Kindle installed on the phone, you can download the ebook to this app directly from a Twitter or Facebook link. Not too many people know that for example Amazon provides a set of RSS feeds to the most popular books. If you frequently use RSS application on your smartphone, you can add feeds of bestsellers, top rated books, new releases and movers & shakers at Kindle Store, and constantly enjoy what’s best in the ebook world. 5. Downloading books If you have the e-reading app, you can download a free sample or buy a book, that’s obvious. But there is one more area to explore – the 3G. If you plan to buy an e-reader, you may want to pick up a version with 3G, so that you could buy and sync books wherever you are. Think again. You already have one device with 3G and it’s your smartphone. Any ebookstore which offers a cloud bookshelf (and the best example is Amazon), allows you to download the ebook to any authorized device. Example. You can buy a book with your smartphone on a bus. Select the device you want to send the book to. Pick up the Kindle. When you are back home, open the Kindle. The book is already there. • • • Smartphones are multi-purpose devices. Reading ebooks will never be their primary purpose. But they are extremely helpful in extending book reading to “not planned” places and circumstances.

peanut butter ingredients

The main ingredient in peanut butter is ground peanuts. Oil is added to give it a smooth, creamy texture, but some oils are healthier than others. Honey, molasses or sugar help add a touch of sweetness to peanut butter. If the peanuts are not salted, salt may be added as a final ingredient to add more flavor. Make your own peanut butter at home with these simple ingredients. This way, you can control the amount of sugar and salt in your food. Calories and Protein Peanut butter is high in calories, providing around 95 calories per 1-tablespoon serving. Calories may vary slightly depending on brand and serving size. Check the nutrition facts label on your favorite brand of peanut butter to determine the proper serving size. Peanut butter is rich in protein. You need protein for tissue repair and muscle growth. Each gram of protein provides 4 calories, according to the Institute of Medicine. Your diet should consist of 10 to 35 percent protein. If you typically follow a 2,000 calorie diet, you need 50 to 175 grams of protein. This serving of peanut butter provides approximately 3 1/2 grams of protein, or about 13 calories from protein. Carbohydrates and Fat Peanut butter contains a little less than 4 grams of carbs and about 8 grams of fat per 1-tablespoon serving. This equals about 15 calories from carbohydrates, since carbs provide 4 calories per gram. Fat provides approximately 68 calories because fat has 9 calories per gram. Carbohydrates break down into glucose during digestion. Glucose, or blood sugar, fuels each and every cell in your body, including brain cells. In addition, you need some fat in your diet to allow vitamins A, D, E and K to absorb properly and to help with hormone secretion. Your diet should have 45 to 65-percent carbohydrates and 20 to 35 percent fat. An average 2,000-calorie diet, requires 225 to 325 grams of carbs and 44 to 78 grams of fat. Vitamin E Peanut butter is high in vitamin E. This powerful vitamin acts like an antioxidant in your system by getting rid of harmful free radicals. When you have a high amount of free radicals in your system, cells become damaged and your risk of chronic disease goes up. Additionally, vitamin E plays a role in normal immune function, gene expression and cellular communication. As an adult, you need 15 milligrams of vitamin E each day, the Office of Dietary Supplements reports. A 1-tablespoon serving of peanut butter has about 2.5 milligrams of vitamin E, or about 15 percent of your daily requirements. Niacin Peanut butter contains about 2.5 milligrams of niacin, or vitamin B3, which is more than 15 percent of your daily needs. You need niacin to metabolize energy from the foods you eat and to maintain healthy skin and normal nerve function. Women need 14 milligrams of niacin each day, but men require 16 milligrams, notes MedlinePlus.

Things You Can Eat for Breakfast If You Are on a Diet live strong.com

Things You Can Eat for Breakfast If You Are on a Diet Last Updated: Mar 22, 2014 | By Brian East Dean Breakfast remains the most important meal of the day -- even if you're on a diet. People who eat breakfast everyday tend to control their weight better than non-breakfast eaters, reports H.R. Wyatt of the University of Colorado. But that doesn't mean you can start your day off with bacon and white toast and expect the weight to come off. Choosing healthy foods for breakfast while on a diet can help you shed those extra pounds and keep them off. Whole Grains Whole grains like granola, oatmeal and whole wheat toast are ideal breakfast foods for someone on a diet. The fiber in whole grains keeps you feeling full so that you don't "cheat" on your diet and indulge on a calorie-rich snack later in the day. Including oatmeal in your low-calorie diet boosts weight loss and reduces high cholesterol levels, reports a study published in the May 2001 issue of the "Journal of Nutrition." Dieters who ate oats every day lost an average of 9 pounds over an 8-week period and decreased their total and "bad" cholesterol levels significantly. Fruit Try starting the day with fresh fruit like bananas, apples, melons and berries.. Fresh fruits have a low energy density. Energy density measures how many calories a food contains compared to its weight. Eating foods with a low energy density allows you to enjoy a high volume of foods without consuming too many calories. Yogurt Low-fat dairy products like yogurt and milk are convenient breakfast choices that can accelerate the amount of weight you lose while dieting, reports a paper published in the September 2010 "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition." The study notes that dieters who ate dairy tended to lose and maintain the weight loss better than people who seldom ate dairy. Eggs Some dieters shun eggs as a breakfast option as they are rich in fat. This is a mistake, according to a study found in the August 2005 "International Journal of Obesity." Overweight adults who had eggs for breakfast lost 60 percent more weight than those who dined on bagels. Eggs also offer nutritional value in the form of protein, vitamin

Is Eating Fruit for Breakfast Healthy? livestrong.com

Is Eating Fruit for Breakfast Healthy? Although eating any kind of breakfast is better than not eating breakfast at all, some breakfast options are better than others. Getting the right combination of nutrients will help you to feel full of energy and just plain full until lunch, while eating the wrong foods for breakfast may have you reaching for a doughnut or other less healthy snack option a short time later. Components of a Healthy Breakfast A healthy breakfast should contain fruits or vegetables, low-fat protein and dairy and whole grains. This combination of fiber, complex carbohydrates, protein and a small amount of fat will help provide the nutrients you need for good health and keep you from getting hungry too quickly. A healthy breakfast may also help you to concentrate and keep you from going through a mid-morning slump. Benefits of Fruit for Breakfast Fruit provides vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin C and potassium. The vitamins and minerals help your body function properly and can help prevent certain diseases and health conditions. Bananas, a common breakfast food, provide a good source of potassium, an important nutrient in muscle health. Eating fruit at breakfast also helps you to meet the USDA's recommendation for five servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Many fruits have fiber and this helps to slow down the digestive process and keep you feeling full longer. As an added benefit, when you consume fiber-rich foods, this can help you manage your weight, explains researchers with the University of Minnesota. Considerations Eating just fruit for your morning meal, without the other components of a healthy breakfast, is unlikely to keep you full for long. You need protein and fats, which fruits do not supply, to provide lasting energy. Consuming fruit alone may lead to a mid-morning crash as you run out of energy, and spikes in your blood sugar levels. Healthy Breakfast Ideas Oatmeal with fruit and milk, yogurt with fruit and granola, a fruit smoothie with toast and peanut butter and fruit juice with a breakfast burrito made with a whole grain tortilla all make delicious and nutritious options for breakfast. You can stock up on portable breakfast options to make it easier to fit this meal into your day, such as fruits that are easy to carry with you, granola bars and cups of yogurt.

Electricity consumption fridge www.bijlibachao.com

How size effects electricity consumption With increasing prosperity demands of the families in India are increasing and with increasing demand, the size of refrigerators is also increasing. But increased size increases the electricity consumption of the refrigerator as well. It is observed (based on BEE data) that with every liter increase in the volume the electricity consumption of refrigerators increase by 0.5-1 units (in the same star rating band). So a 5 star 350 liters refrigerator may consume about 50-100 units per year more than a 5 star 250 liters model. Thus it is very important to pick refrigerator of right size while buying. Also refrigerators are most efficient when they are full (not over loaded). With empty refrigerators you pay more for what you use. Other factors that impact electricity consumption Defrost Mode: A direct cool refrigerator that needs manual defrost consumes lesser electricity than auto defrost or frost free refrigerator. A frost-free consumes 30-50% more electricity for same volume and star rating. But a frost-free gives a lot more convenience. Ice Makers: Many new side-by-side models have icemakers that increase the electricity consumption by 10-15% as the ice dispenser creates a low insulation area, which increases electricity consumption. More features more electricity consumption: Modern day refrigerators are loaded with features like moisture control, etc. Every feature adds to the electricity consumption (unless it is a feature designed for electricity saving). So choose the features that are helpful for your daily use. Do not just buy a loaded refrigerator just for having a feel of every feature. As every feature comes for extra cost: upfront for buying and on going for use. Always look for BEE star rating: Bureau of Energy efficiency rates various brands and models of refrigerators on their efficient use of electricity. So always look for star rating. To know more about the BEE star rating program and compare refrigerators, check our links: BEE Star Rating program explained. Compare BEE Star Rated Refrigerators for Electricity Saving.

Editor’s Note: This product has been removed from viewing as part of this site because it is no longer available. You can still read our original review below, but Top Ten Reviews is no longer updating this product’s information. Of the top-load washing machines we evaluated, no standard-efficiency machines made it into the top ten. While GE's traditional, agitator-equipped top-load washers can't compete with high-efficiency models when it comes to saving water and electricity, or their timesaving convenience features, the GE Traditional Washer holds up well against its traditional cousins. This top-loader has a capacity of 3.9 cubic feet, which is large enough for family-size loads. While it does use an agitator to clean laundry – that tall rotor in the middle of the basket that has been replaced by the gentler impeller in newer washers – the agitator employs GE's HydroWave wash system, which the company claims improves cleaning performance and does so gently. The gentleness comes at a price: most of the wash cycles seem to take more than an hour to complete. This unit's maximum spin speed is 700 rpm, which is the slowest of any model we looked at. However, in most cases, it should still wring out clothes just fine, especially if you have time to put loads through the extra spin cycle. It's best used away from the living area of the house, as its lack of anti-vibration system or other insulation makes it louder than some competing units. This washer has six wash/rinse temperature combinations for maximum control over your laundry. It automatically fills to five different water levels based on your load size. It has 16 wash cycles, although some of them are a little redundant – for example, three are regular/cotton cycles differentiated only by soil level. There are two auto-soak options, a prewash cycle for stubborn stains and the option of a second rinse to more thoroughly remove allergens and detergent for those with sensitive skin. This is the only agitator-style unit we looked at that is Energy Star certified. It uses more energy than high-efficiency washers, but its power consumption is still rather conservative compared to other traditional washers. When used with an electric water heater, this unit is estimated to cost about $22 per year in electricity. With a natural-gas water heater, the annual cost for electricity is about $15. GE Traditional Summary: 6.9/10 If you have had bad experiences with impeller-style washing machines and want to purchase another agitator machine, the GE Traditional Washer might be a good bet. It only uses marginally more energy than a high-efficiency washer, and it has some of the same convenience features.
