Popcorn Maker

 

************************************************************
Relevant Background on Popcorn maker: "A popcorn maker (also called a popcorn popper or popcorn machine) is a device used to pop popcorn. Since ancient times, popcorn has been a popular snack food, produced through the explosive expansion of kernels of heated corn..Commercial popcorn machines are commonly found in movie theaters and carnivals, producing popcorn in a pan of hot oil, which has approximately 45% of its calories derived from fat. Hot air popcorn poppers appeared for home use in the late 1970s, which produce popcorn with only 5% of its calories derived from fat...The majority of popcorn sold for home consumption is now packaged in a microwave popcorn bag for use in a microwave oven.[2] As a result, the popularity of popcorn makers for home use has drastically decreased in the last few decades..."

Relevant Background on Maize: "Maize (/meɪz/ MAYZ; Zea mays subsp. mays, from Spanish: maíz after Taino: mahiz), also known as corn (American English), is a cereal grain first domesticated by indigenous peoples in southern Mexico about 10,000 years ago.[1][2] The leafy stalk of the plant produces pollen inflorescences and separate ovuliferous inflorescences called ears that yield kernels or seeds, which are fruits...Maize has become a staple food in many parts of the world, with the total production of maize surpassing that of wheat or rice. In addition to being consumed directly by humans (often in the form of masa), maize is also used for corn ethanol, animal feed and other maize products, such as corn starch and corn syrup.[4] The six major types of maize are dent corn, flint corn, pod corn, popcorn, flour corn, and sweet corn.[5] Sugar-rich varieties called sweet corn are usually grown for human consumption as kernels, while field corn varieties are used for animal feed, various corn-based human food uses (including grinding into cornmeal or masa, pressing into corn oil, and fermentation and distillation into alcoholic beverages like bourbon whiskey), and as chemical feedstocks. Maize is also used in making ethanol and other biofuels...Maize is widely cultivated throughout the world, and a greater weight of maize is produced each year than any other grain.[6] In 2014, total world production was 1.04 billion tonnes. Maize is the most widely grown grain crop throughout the Americas, with 361 million metric tons grown in the United States alone in 2014.[7] Genetically modified maize made up 85% of the maize planted in the United States in 2009.[8] Subsidies in the United States help to account for the high level of cultivation of maize in the United States and the fact that the U.S. is the world's largest maize producer...Maize contains lipid transfer protein, an indigestible protein that survives cooking. This protein has been linked to a rare and understudied allergy to maize in humans.[123] The allergic reaction can cause skin rash, swelling or itching of mucous membranes, diarrhea, vomiting, asthma and, in severe cases, anaphylaxis. It is unclear how common this allergy is in the general population." ("Maize", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maize)

*** Relevant Background :  " An  automatic door , also known as an  auto door , is a  door  that opens automatically, without the need for human intervention or usually upon sensing the approach of a person. A person can be detected by microwave pulses,  infrared sensors  , or pressure-sensing pads...  " ( Automatic door - Wikipedia ) ***  Relevant Material :  " THEY HIT PEOPLE MORE OFTEN THAN YOU THINK AND CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY Most of us walk through automatic doors on a regular basis. Most retail stores have some form of automatic doors, whether they are sliding doors, revolving doors, swinging doors, or folding doors. Most people who pass through automatic doors don't think about the fact that they can be struck by the door or trapped between the door and door frame. We expect them to simply open for us and close behind us. But often, that is not the case. When an automatic door hits you, you don’t expect it. It can throw...

  ******** " Question Is cycling associated with risk of all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality among persons with diabetes? Findings In this cohort study of 7459 persons with diabetes, cycling was associated with at least a 24% lower all-cause mortality rate when compared with noncyclists, independent of other physical activity and putative confounders. Taking up cycling over a 5-year period was associated with at least a 35% lower risk of all-cause mortality when compared with consistent noncyclists. Meaning Cycling could be encouraged as an activity for persons with diabetes to lower the risk of premature mortality.. "  (Larsen et al., n.d.) **** Relevant Insurance Coverage: a.

Blood Pressure Monitor

Image
**** Relevant Background: “ Arterial blood pressure  is most commonly measured via a  sphygmomanometer , which historically used the height of a column of mercury to reflect the circulating pressure. [1] Blood pressure values are generally reported in  millimetres of mercury  (mmHg), though  aneroid  and electronic devices do not contain  mercury .… For each heartbeat, blood pressure varies between   systolic   and   diastolic   pressures. Systolic pressure is peak pressure in the arteries, which occurs near the end of the   cardiac cycle   when the   ventricles   are contracting. Diastolic pressure is minimum pressure in the arteries, which occurs near the beginning of the cardiac cycle when the ventricles are filled with blood. An example of normal measured values for a resting, healthy adult human is 120 mmHg   systolic   and 80 mmHg   diastolic   (written as 120/80 mmHg, and...
