Food sanitation

   In rural areas, animals are slaughtered on a slaughter slab. In an urban area, this is carried out in a slaughter house. An abattoir, that are found only in most developed countries, is a modern slaughter house with equipment for the proper, hygienic and humane slaughtering of animals.
Public health inspectors have to be present before the slaughtering of animals to examine them. The inspectors have to certify by observation that the animals are free from diseases like anthrax, rinderpest, foot and mouth disease. Very young animals and diseased animals cannot be killed for meat production.
The inspector then ensure that the healthy animals are slaughtered in humane manner. The inspector will carry out a postmortem examination on the slaughtered animal to ensure that it is free from the following diseases and parasites. Mostly pigs and cattle suffer from more diseases than goats and sheep.
    Public health inspectors send samples of vegetables, fruits, cooked, preserved and canned foods to the laboratory for analysis. This is to ensure that these foods do not contain harmful chemicals. Canned foods are analysed to make sure that their contents agree with what is given on their labels. Inspectors also check and condemn all dented and bloated tins of foods, eating food from such tins is usually harmful.
  Public health inspectors should regularly check eating shops and restaurants and the kitchen of hotels and inns. If these places do not meet the required sanitary standards, their license should be withdrawn. Public health inspectors have to ensure that food handlers should undergo medical check ups, so that carriers of infectious diseases can be detected and treated. They should also have to ensure that food handlers are healthy and maintain a high standard of personal cleanliness..

Why kids run away

Why Kids Run Away Remember how you felt the last time you got in a big fight with your parents or one of your brothers or sisters? That kind of anger and hurt can be what pushes someone to run away from home.These are problems faced by lots of kids and teens — and there are ways to deal with all of these problems besides running away. Kids who think about running away might not know how to solve tough problems or don't have adults to help them. Sometimes a really big problem can make it seem like running away is the only choice. Unfortunately, the problems kids hope to escape by running away are replaced by other — sometimes even bigger — problems of life on the streets. When you think about running away, you probably imagine that there will be no more rules, no parent to tell you what to do, no more fights. Sounds great and exciting, right? In reality, running away is anything but fun. Kids and teens who run away face new problems like not having any money, food to eat, a s...

THE RIVER CROSSING.

It is no military secret that an opposed river crossing operation is difficult even under ideal conditions. But without adequate standard equipment and with a poor level of training of soldiers and officers, it could become impossible. But the Army Headquarters and Supreme Headquarters had strongly advised against embarking on an opposed river crossing because of inadequacy of equipment and deficiency in the training of troops for such a semi-specialist operation. The Supreme Headquarters had advised on unopposed crossing while the division passed through 1 Division's secure position to capture the town. The Division commander decided to take a grave and calculated risk that could be called bravado. But if the operation had been successful, as it nearly was, it would have been one of the most praiseworthy operations of the entire war. In the end, it failed and the commander had to take the blame for it.     The first landing, in which the Division Commander himself took part,...

HERNIA

Hernia occurs in an individual when part of the intestine pushes through the wall of the abdomen and appears as a bulge at the site. There are many sites where hernia can occur, although the commonly encountered type is that found in the groin. This type of hernia is known as femoral or inguinal hernia. Hernia may occur on the navel or near it. The hernia which occurs on the navel is called umbilical hernia, while that which occurs close to it is known as paraumbilical hernia. These two types of hernia are less common than the femoral type.   Groin hernia occurs more commonly in males, but can also occur in females in a few cases. In this kind of hernia, there is a weakness in the abdominal wall in the groin region about midway across the groin. It may appear on either side or, sometimes on both sides. A good sign is that swelling increases, initially it can be pushed back manually into the body. Later on, it gets bigger still and lies almost permanently outside the body, especi...
