13784156 Drug Decriminalization In Portugal Lessons For Creating Fair A...Edward Dobson
?
Portugal decriminalized drug possession and usage for personal use in 2001. This removed drug offenses from criminal law and made them administrative violations handled by special commissions, not the criminal justice system. These commissions typically suspend penalties for personal use and encourage treatment. Since decriminalization, drug usage rates have remained stable while related health and social problems have declined significantly. The policy has been widely embraced in Portugal as successful.Health canada apps

Oak Composition And Maturation InfluenceEdward Dobson
?
The document discusses the composition of oak and its influence on wine and spirit maturation. It provides details on the main constituents of oak - cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, tannins, and lipids. During toasting, hemicellulose breaks down and produces compounds responsible for toasty flavors. Lignin breaks down into phenolic aldehydes and volatile phenols. Tannins enable oxidation during maturation. Oak lactones, highest in American white oak, contribute woody flavors especially in bourbon. Compounds are analyzed to understand the barrel influence on flavor.Household Cyclopedia

Distilling How It WorksEdward Dobson
?
The document describes the principles of distillation. It explains that distillation uses vapour pressure to separate mixtures based on their boiling points. A distillation column works more efficiently than a simple pot still by providing a greater surface area for vapor condensation through the use of packing materials like Raschig rings inside the column. This allows for a more complete separation of alcohol from other congeners during repeated distillations.How It Works

The document provides instructions for home distillation, including equipment, ingredients, and processes. It discusses fermentation vessels, lids, syphons, and measuring tools like hydrometers and alcohol meters. For distillation, it recommends a stainless steel still with a column. The column filling provides contact surface area and resistance for distillation. Proper temperature control is emphasized for distillation, and the document provides guidance on purification, flavoring, and legal issues related to home distillation.Fruit Brandy

1. The document discusses a research project that aimed to connect fruit growers with surplus fruit to wineries interested in making fruit brandy. The goal was to provide an alternative market for excess crops and develop new products for wineries.
2. Researchers educated growers and vintners on distillery operations through demonstrations. One Missouri winery established a distillery and contracted with local growers for surplus fruit.
3. Researchers assessed distillery techniques by visiting operations in other places. They produced fruit brandies from apples and peaches grown at a state experiment station to develop a new value-added product for Missouri.Correction Table For An Alcoholometer
Correction Table For An AlcoholometerEdward Dobson
?
The document provides a description and calculation process for a correction table for an alcoholometer calibrated at 20¡ãC. It involves:
1) Creating matrices to relate ethanol concentration and density at various temperatures based on polynomial fits of experimental data tables.
2) Using the relationships and a linearization of volume change with temperature to calculate density corrections for different concentrations and temperatures.
3) Converting the corrected densities back to ethanol concentrations to populate the correction table, which lists the actual concentration for a given measured concentration at various temperatures.Building A Home Distillation Apparatus
Building A Home Distillation ApparatusEdward Dobson
?
This document discusses different types of distillation stills that can be built at home, beginning with pot stills. Pot stills are the simplest type of still but are inefficient and produce impure distillate due to a lack of temperature and separation controls. They work best for separating compounds with a 100 degree Celsius boiling point difference. Repeated distillations are required in a pot still to achieve purity, resulting in significant product loss. More advanced still designs like reflux stills allow for better separation and purity in fewer distillation runs.Mormon Emergency Preperation

The document provides teachings from Church leaders about the importance of emergency preparedness and self-reliance. Some key points include:
- Church leaders have counseled Saints for over 100 years to store up grain and have a year's supply of food and necessities.
- Wheat and water are identified as high priorities. Other basics include honey, sugar, legumes, milk products, and salt.
- Proper storage allows Latter-day Saints to avoid being dependent on others during times of shortage.
- Individuals and families should take responsibility for their own welfare and preparedness.Small Scale Preparation Of Dairy Products Probiotics Yogurts Cheese Butter Bu...

This document provides an introduction to small-scale dairy processing using simple techniques. It discusses why processing milk into dairy products can be beneficial when there is a surplus of milk. Some key points:
- Processing milk allows for products with longer shelf lives to be created and sold when fresh milk is not needed or cannot reach markets. This can increase financial gains.
- Many populations cannot consume fresh milk due to lactose intolerance, but dairy products where the lactose is reduced can be digested.
- High temperatures and humidity in tropical climates present challenges for processing and storage, so choosing appropriate products is important. Thorough cleaning and hygiene is also essential to prevent contamination.

The document provides guidance on preparing for emergencies and survival situations. It discusses preparing for potential disasters that could occur within the next five years by considering one's location and ranking threats. It also covers creating an evacuation plan, including determining whether to stay home or evacuate based on the situation, identifying a safe house 100-150 miles away, and caching supplies. The document emphasizes the importance of advance planning, having multiple options, and being able to reach a safe location on one tank of gas.Cheese Making
Cheese MakingEdward Dobson
?
This document discusses the process of cheese making. There are many types of cheese that are broadly categorized as soft, semi-hard, or hard based on their moisture content and texture. Cheese is made by coagulating the proteins in milk, which can be done through adding rennet, lactic acid bacteria, or acids. The specific process varies depending on the type of cheese but generally involves coagulation, separation of curds from whey, shaping, pressing, and aging. Quality control through hygiene, controlling temperatures and times, and using starter cultures properly is important to produce safe, high quality cheese.Us Marine Corps Mwtc Summer Survival Course Handbook Msvx.02.01
