Who discovered the broccoli?

Broccoli was first discovered in Italy from a cabbage plant and was considered a valuable food to the Italians. It was introduced to the United States by Italian Immigrants, however it did not become widely known around the world until the 1920's.

Is broccoli a monocot or dicot?

Broccoli is part of the cabbage family and is closely related to the radish. Therefore, it is a dicot plant.

Can hamters eat raw broccoli?

Hamsters can eat any vegetable, except onions, okra, and potatoes. You may serve to you're hamster vegetables raw, steamed, or boiled with no butter, oils, or seasonings.

Are the vitamins in broccoli in the stem or flower?

Myth: The health properties of broccoli are in the buds.

Fact: The health benefits of broccoli are in both the buds and the stems. Although the buds are rich in B-complex vitamins and minerals, the stem contains compounds that can protect individuals from certain types of cancer and improve immunity.

Broccoli shrub or herb?

Broccoli is classed as a vegetable of the cabbage family.

Why is broccoli and cauliflower with cheese sauce bad for you?

Is brocli a tuber?

A circle is a simple shape of Euclidean geometry consisting of those points in a plane which are the same distance from a given point called the center. The common distance of the points of a circle from its center is called its radius. A diameter is a line segment whose endpoints lie on the circle and which passes through the centre of the circle. The length of a diameter is twice the length of the radius. Circles are simple closed curves which divide the plane into two regions, an interior and an exterior. In everyday use the term "circle" may be used interchangeably to refer to either the boundary of the figure (known as the perimeter) or to the whole figure including its interior, but in strict technical usage "circle" refers to the perimeter while the interior of the circle is called a disk. The circumference of a circle is the perimeter of the circle (especially when referring to its length). A circle is a special ellipse in which the two foci are coincident. Circles are conic sections attained when a right circular cone is intersected with a plane perpendicular to the axis of the cone. A chord of a circle is a line segment whose two endpoints lie on the circle. The diameter, passing through the circle's centre, is the the largest chord in a circle. A tangent to a circle is a straight line that touches the circle at a single point. A secant is an extended chord: a straight line cutting the circle at two points. An arc of a circle is any connected part of the circle's perimeter. A sector is a region bounded by two radii and an arc lying between the radii, and a segment is a region bounded by a chord and an arc lying between the chord's endpoints.
The circle has been known since before the beginning of recorded history. It is the basis for the wheel which, with related inventions such as gears, makes much of modern civilization possible. In mathematics, the study of the circle has helped inspire the development of geometry and calculus. Early science, particularly geometry and astronomy/astrology, was connected to the divine for most medieval scholars, and many believed that there was something intrinsically "divine" or "perfect" that could be found in circles. Some highlights in the history of the circle are: * 1700 BC - The Rhind papyrus gives a method to find the area of a circular field. The result corresponds to 256/81 as an approximate value of π.[1] * 300 BC - Book 3 of Euclid's Elements deals with the properties of circles. * 1880 - Lindemann proves that π is transcendental, effectively settling the millennia-old problem of squaring the circle.[2]
The circle is the shape with the largest area for a given length of perimeter. (See Isoperimetric inequality.) * The circle is a highly symmetric shape: every line through the center forms a line of reflection symmetry and it has rotational symmetry around the center for every angle. Its symmetry group is the orthogonal group O(2,R). The group of rotations alone is the circle group T. * All circles are similar. * ** A circle's circumference and radius are proportional. ** The area enclosed and the square of its radius are proportional. ** *** The constants of proportionality are 2π and π, respectively. * The circle centered at the origin with radius 1 is called the unit circle. * ** Thought of as a great circle of the unit sphere, it becomes the Riemannian circle. * Through any three points, not all on the same line, there lies a unique circle. In Cartesian coordinates, it is possible to give explicit formulae for the coordinates of the center of the circle and the radius in terms of the coordinates of the three given points. See circumcircle. [edit] Chord properties * Chords are equidistant from the center of a circle if and only if they are equal in length. * The perpendicular bisector of a chord passes through the center of a circle; equivalent statements stemming from the uniqueness of the perpendicular bisector: * ** A perpendicular line from the center of a circle bisects the chord. ** The line segment (circular segment) through the center bisecting a chord is perpendicular to the chord. * If a central angle and an inscribed angle of a circle are subtended by the same chord and on the same side of the chord, then the central angle is twice the inscribed angle. * If two angles are inscribed on the same chord and on the same side of the chord, then they are equal. * If two angles are inscribed on the same chord and on opposite sides of the chord, then they are supplemental. * ** For a cyclic quadrilateral, the exterior angle is equal to the interior opposite angle. * An inscribed angle subtended by a diameter is a right angle. * The diameter is the longest chord of the circle. [edit] Sagitta properties * The sagitta (also known as the versine) is a line segment drawn perpendicular to a chord, between the midpoint of that chord and the circumference of the circle. * Given the length y of a chord, and the length x of the sagitta See also: Power of a point * The chord theorem states that if two chords, CD and EB, intersect at A, then CA×DA = EA×BA. * If a tangent from an external point D meets the circle at C and a secant from the external point D meets the circle at G and E respectively, then DC2 = DG×DE. (Tangent-secant theorem.) * If two secants, DG and DE, also cut the circle at H and F respectively, then DH×DG = DF×DE. (Corollary of the tangent-secant theorem.) * The angle between a tangent and chord is equal to the subtended angle on the opposite side of the chord. (Tangent chord property.) * If the angle subtended by the chord at the center is 90 degrees then l = √2 × r, where l is the length of the chord and r is the radius of the circle. * If two secants are inscribed in the circle as shown at right, then the measurement of angle A is equal to one half the difference of the measurements of the enclosed arcs (DE and BC). This is the secant-secant theorem. *

How do I find the Worker's Compensation Court decision in the case Dodge v Broccoli Clark Layman Inc?

QUOTE:

In Dodge v. Bruccoli, Clark, Layman, Inc., 334 S.C. 574, 580, 514 S.E.2d 593, 596 (Ct. App. 1999), the Court considered limitations placed on the award of future medical expenses. In that case, the commission awarded future medical expenses for management of the claimant's pain medication because it permitted him to take less pain medicine, thus, allowing him to work. On appeal, the employer in Dodge argued section 42-15-60 did not apply because the claimant had reached MMI. This Court disagreed. Substantial evidence in that record supported the commission's conclusion that future medical treatment would tend to lessen the time during which the claimant would be statutorily incapacitated.

What should you do if your rabbit eats broccoli?

If your rabbit has eaten broccoli, you should observe her carefully over the next 24 hours. If you notice any signs of gas, you should give first aid (see below). If the symptoms don't go away within a few hours, and the rabbit isn't eating or drinking, you should bring the rabbit to the "rabbit-savvy" vet for treatment (including pain medications, gut motility medications, and fluids).

Some rabbits can eat broccoli and suffer no illness at all, and many rabbits can eat broccoli safely in small amounts as an occasional treat, but some rabbits are very sensitive to broccoli and other "gassy" foods (like cabbage) and those rabbits shouldn't have any broccoli at all. Almost all rabbits are fine with broccoli leaves, though -- they're not as "gassy" as the florets and stems. Even if your rabbit doesn't suffer from gas, broccoli is high in natural sugars and so should only be offered as a treat. Again, broccoli leaves are safe and contain much less sugars, so they can be included as one of the greens in the daily salad rotation, so long as your rabbit isn't extra-sensitive to them. The key is to know your rabbit! Rabbits are individuals, just like humans. It's important to know your rabbit well enough so you can identify and respond to illness before it turns into something serious.

First Aid for Gas

Signs and Symptoms

  • A rabbit in pain might grind its teeth (not like happy "tooth-purring"; grinding is loud, crunchy-sounding, and irregular in rhythm); she might have glassy and/or half-shut eyes; her body might be all tight and squished/hunched-up; she won't be running around and playing, nor content and relaxed; she might hide from you in unusual places; she probably won't be eating, grazing, or drinking; she might be aggressive; she might not be using the litter box.
  • A rabbit with gas in particular might be pressing her belly flat and hard against the floor, trying to seek relief from the pain; her belly might feel hard and bloated, but not hugely distended. (In the case of huge distension/bloating that came on suddenly, seek veterinary care immediately -- it might not be gas and treated for gas could make the problem worse.) You might hear loud gurgling from the rabbit's belly.

Treatment

  • Massage the rabbit's stomach -- this is located just below the ribs. Be gentle, but firm. Try rubbing in circles, or in lines pushing towards the anus, or using multiple fingers in a ripple motion. If the rabbit struggles or cries out, let him go -- don't hurt him! (If the rabbit just seems annoyed and shifts about a lot, you're not hurting her, so keep massaging.) If you feel gas bubbles, push your fingers into them to break them up, and them try to push them toward the anus. This can be very tiring but at least it's free, so keep at it for as long as you can; then take a break and try again. Don't push hard at solid-feeling things -- these could be organs, or bones, or a foreign obstruction in the system, but pushing hard will only hurt the rabbit.
  • Administer simethicone. Look for simethicone in a liquid suspension -- this is often sold in the baby aisle of drug stores. Administer a dose once every hour for the first 2-3 doses, then once every 3-8 hours as needed. You should start to see improvement after a few doses. The commonly-cited dose for rabbits is 20mg of drug, but if your rabbit is very large you might use a larger amount. In order to calculate the correct dose of liquid, read the label and look for how many mg of drug there is in 1mL of liquid. (Note that 1mL = 1cc.) For example, if you want to give 20mg of drug, and the label says there's 20mg per mL, then the correct dose is 1mL (aka 1cc); but if the label says there's 40mg per mL, then the correct dose is 0.5mL (aka 0.5cc). Each brand is different so you have to read the label!
  • Try to encourage physical activity, eating, drinking, and keep your mood happy! The less "depressed" the rabbit, the greater chance of recovery without veterinary intervention.

How long will broccoli stay fresh without refrigeration and vacuum sealed?

Due to concerns about botulism, do not leave vacuum-sealed foods like fresh veggies and meats at room temperature for more than 2 hours. Less time is much better.

Does broccoli make you fart?

The reason why "Broccoli Farts" smell foul is because of many reasons:

1: The meletonin reacts chemically with your stomach acid

2: When you become increasivly nervous the stench of the fart will smell worse

3: It depends on the blood type of the person

4: Your Mom's hot. :D

5: I gave her aids!

6: You touch yourself at night thinking about your Mom and me!!

7: I raped your dog! (Or any pet that you have at the moment)

What is the phobia of broccoli?

How much corn and broccoli must you consume in one day to intake 1000mg of calcium?

  • One hundred grams of whole kernel yellow sweet corn has 7.0mg of Calcium.
  • One hundred grams of broccoli has 47.0mg of Calcium.
  • The easiest way to get to 1000mg is the following:
  1. 21 servings of broccoli would be 987mg about 22 cups
  2. 2 servings of corn would be 14mg - about a 1.5 cups
  3. 987 + 14 = 1001mg of calcium
