INTRODUCTION Applicant moves for judgment on the pleadings (“Motion”), arguing that “there is no genuine issue as to Opposer’s lack of prior rights in a trademark that could be confusingly similar to Applicant’s Mark.” (Motion pg. 3.)1 Applicant’s Motion is not well taken. It acknowledges that Opposer has alleged exactly what it takes issue with – that Opposer has prior rights in a trademark that could be confusingly similar to Applicant’s Mark. Despite this, Applicant seeks to take issue with those allegations, implicitly contending that Opposer will be unable to prove what it has alleged. (Motion pg. 2.) This is not a proper basis for judgment on the pleadings, which must accept as true all allegations asserted in the Opposition.

  • Variations:  for Meyer Lemonade, Use Less Simple Syrup (Start with 1/2 to 2/3 Cup) and Replace the Lemons with Meyer Lem- Ons
    Lemonade (and Limeade) 1 1/2 Quarts Ingredients Quantity Methods White sugar 1 cup 1. Make the simple syrup. Combine the sugar and 1 cup of the water in a Water 5 cups small saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over low heat to dissolve sug- Lemons or Limes 6-8 each ar. Once the sugar is completely dissolved, remove from heat to cool. 2. Squeeze the lemons. Roll each lemon over your cutting board, pressing down as you do. This will help them to release their juice. Cut in half and squeeze. Repeat until you have one cup. You may not need all the lemons but try to save at least one half if you want to garnish your glasses. 3. Combine. Add the cooled syrup to your pitcher, followed by the lemon juice and the remaining 4 cups of water. Stir. Taste and adjust: add a few tablespoons of sugar if it needs to be sweeter or the juice of 1/2 lemon if it needs more tartness. 4. Add ice. Add ice to pitcher if you think you will drink the whole pitcher right away. Otherwise add ice to each glass. Garnish. It's optional, but garnishes are fun. Try a slice of fruit, a sprig of mint or other herb, or a flower such as lavender or nasturtium. If you've infused the simple syrup with an herb (see below) its helpful to garnish the glass with the herb used. Recipe courtesy of thekitchn.com Variations: For Meyer lemonade, use less simple syrup (start with 1/2 to 2/3 cup) and replace the lemons with meyer lem- ons.

  • Differences in Renal Diet and Medical Symptom Knowledge in Diet Adherent and Diet Nonadherent Adult Hemodialysis Patients

Hemodialysis requires adherence to a complex diet that restricts nutrients in order to reduce complications and improve quality of life. However, dietary nonadherence is extremely prevalent in this population with many etiologies considered. The purpose of this study was to determine if renal nutrition knowledge differed between patients who are adherent and nonadherent to a renal diet. Participants were adult hemodialysis patients with a diagnosis of end stage renal disease who completed a questionnaire that tested their knowledge of renal diet components and the medical complications associated with nonadherence.

  • 1.11 Diet Reference Guide
    RENAL DIET The guidelines below have been developed as a quick reference to help you guide your patients in regards to any queries regarding their renal diet. Goals of the Renal Diet Help prevent nutritional deficiencies Help prevent fluid retention Keep blood level within normal limits, by controlling potassium, phosphorous and sodium intake Maintain and protect bone strength Maintain a healthy body weight 1) Protein Intake: An adequate protein intake is important for growth and repair of body tissues. It helps fight infections and prevents muscle loss. The amount of protein required depends on individual requirements and form of renal replacement therapy. Most protein foods are high in phosphate. During dialysis patients lose some of their good protein, Albumin. Here are some ideas to help boost protein intake while maintaining a normal phosphate level. Protein is found in plant and animal foods. The protein from animal origin is more readily absorbed by the body. The plant sources tend to be high in phosphate or potassium so the animal sources are better for the body. ANIMAL SOURCES PLANT SOURCES (limit) Red meat (lamb/beef) Lentils Chicken Beans Fish Dried peas Cottage Cheese Soya Egg white Peanuts Fish paste Peanut butter Tuna Try to include a low phosphate protein with 2 meals every day. Although dairy products like milk and cheese are good sources of protein, they are high in phosphate. One can include a ½ cup of milk or yoghurt + either 1 egg or a small amount of cheese in the diet daily. HIGH PROTEIN BOOSTERS Try and include 1 – 2 of these high protein boosters in the diet every week to help boost your Albumin level.

    Determining the Optimum Alfalfa Seeding Rate by Mike Rankin Introduction Figure 1. Typical progression from seeding 15 lb/acre of alfalfa seed to productive plants at 24 Virtually everyone who has applied their trade as an months after seeding alfalfa researcher has done a seeding rate study at some point in their career. The scientific literature is 80 full of such studies and most come to the same 70 conclusion: very little of what we dump in the drill ends 60 up as a productive alfalfa plant that lives to see the next presidential election. It’s not anyone’s fault, but 50 rather that inefficiency is a part of the deal. However, 40 there should be some consideration given to cutting 30 20 losses simply because input costs, including seed, are number/sq. ft. not getting any cheaper. 10 0 To take a closer look at the issue of alfalfa seeding Seeds Seedlings Plants @ Plants @ rates, let’s start at the beginning with the seed itself. planted 3-4 weeks 12 months 24 months There are about 199,000 alfalfa seeds per pound. If that one pound was evenly spread over one acre those seeds will be accounted for as seedlings after (43,560 ft.2), there would be in the neighborhood of emergence is complete in three to four weeks. Using a five seeds per square foot. So pick your seeding rate, 60 percent average, that leaves us with 45 seedlings multiply by five, and that’s how many seeds per square per square foot.
