Problem: Article: Items that you might not expect to contain milk might actually have dairy, lactose, whey or other ingredients that can cause symptoms for the lactose intolerant. Be sure to read the Ingredients list on food items so you know what you’re consuming. Avoid or limit anything that directly states “lactose” in the ingredients. Be sure to check products like margarine, salad dressing, non-dairy creamer, baked products and pastries, and shortening. There are many products on the market that you can use to substitute for milk. Soy milk, rice milk, and almond milk are the most common, and often come in plain and flavored varieties. You can usually also use non-dairy creamer (though be sure to check the label for lactose).  Stay away from other milk products like cream, buttermilk, malted milk, evaporated and condensed milk, and Kefir cultured milk.  To avoid all lactose, also exclude the following from your diet: cheese (including ricotta), cottage cheese, ice cream, whipped cream, sherbert, butter, cream cheese, hot cocoa mix, sour cream, yogurt, pudding, custard, and whey. Breads and starches on their own don’t always contain lactose if they’re made fresh and without additives. However, avoid pre-made products like instant mashed potato mixes and frozen pre-made meals – or at least carefully read the ingredients. Baked goods (cookies, cakes, pies, etc.) and breads may or may not be made with milk, so use caution. Milk, cheese, and other products that contain lactose can sometimes show up in meals and snacks that you wouldn’t expect. Be on the lookout for items that might contain hidden lactose:  Dips, for instance spinach and artichoke dip. These often contain cheese. Opt for salsa or hummus instead. Creamed vegetables (creamed peas, creamed corn) and cream-based soups (white chowders, for instance). Smoothies that contain yogurt Vegetables and meats that are coated in batter, i.e. fried. Cheese in things like pizza, burritos, casseroles, and in salads Confections such as toffee, caramel, and butterscotch Processed snacks like potato chips Even some medications contain lactose. The birth control pill might, as well as over-the-counter medicines to treat gas and acid reflux. If you have severe lactose intolerance and are taking these medications, talk to your doctor about possibly switching to another option.
Summary: Read product labels. Replace milk with non-dairy options. Know what goes into your starches. Watch out for hidden dairy ingredients. Ask your doctor about the medications you take.

Problem: Article: Now move your thumb over to the tip of your middle finger (4). Base 12 is highly useful because it shares common factors with many small numbers making dividing easy to figure out (2, 3, 4, 6).
Summary: Start with your thumb not touching any fingers (this is 0). Touch the tip of your pointer with your thumb (1), now move your thumb down to the segment of your finger between the first two joints (2), now move your thumb down to the next segment between your joint and your palm (3). When you get to 12, start on your other hand and start over on your first.

Problem: Article: When ceasing alcohol or tobacco, the body may experience withdrawal without continued use. Withdrawal symptoms from tobacco and alcohol can include: anxiety, depression, fatigue, headache, nausea, shaking, stomach cramps, and elevated heart rate. While tobacco withdrawal can be unpleasant on both body and emotions, alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous. Severity of alcohol withdrawal symptoms varies by how much you drink, for how long, and your condition of health. Some symptoms can start within hours after drinking, peak within days, and improve within the week.  Alcohol withdrawal can lead to symptoms which causes severe mental and neurological problems. This may include body tremors, agitation, restlessness, fear, hallucinations and seizures. Seek medical attention if you experience these symptoms. If you are a long-term and heavy drinker, consider a medically supervised detox. While no prescription medication exists to concurrently treat alcohol and nicotine together, interventions exist to treat alcohol dependence and nicotine addiction.  Prescription medication can be used to treat alcohol dependence, including use of naltrexone, acamprosate, and disulfiram. These medications can help with withdrawal symptoms and relapse.  Choose a method for nicotine withdrawal. While some people quit "cold turkey", others choose to taper off nicotine exposure in order to reduce withdrawal symptoms. Many options are available for nicotine replacement such as gum, a patch, nasal sprays and prescription medications (such as bupropion) while your body adjusts to lower levels of nicotine.
Summary: Observe withdrawal symptoms. Monitor withdrawal. Seek medication intervention.

Problem: Article: Distributed application programming is considered by many to be one of the hardest to learn and requires diverse knowledge in computer and communication technologies. This step is optional. However, it is very useful in understanding network topologies.  You need a good understanding of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model, Ethernet, IP, TCP, UDP and HTTP before you start programming distributed applications.  For Windows-based programming, that would be any script that works with Windows Scripting Host. For Linux-based programming, Bash scripts and Perl will be sufficient. JavaScript is strongly recommended for this in both platforms for the following reasons:  It is supported by almost any scripting host in any operating system (Windows Scripting Host supports JavaScript by default, most Linux distributions has a package for JavaScript scripting console support). It is considered to be easier to learn by many developers. It has an ALGOL derived syntax which familiarizes you with much more other programming languages when you need to choose a second programming language (C, C++, C#, Java and J# all have ALGOL derived syntax). By learning JavaScript, you familiarize yourself with client-side scripting of web pages which is a bonus side-effect! Later, you can use more advanced programming techniques and paradigms according to your scripting language and what it supports. All scripting languages have some procedural programming aspects at some level. Learn what is necessary for doing that. Simple communications will suffice. Preferably, one that is a multi-paradigm language such as Python. Take a simple introduction to that second language. Java is considered by most programmers to be the language of choice for many reasons. However, C# is gaining momentum fast in this field. Java and C# are preferred for the following reasons:  They are object oriented programming languages which shields programmers in large teams from implementation details as they both supports components (units of code, pre-compiled, that perform a certain task and can be used in other programs). They support event-driven programming, as well as OO and procedural programming at some level. The framework that the language is built upon is distributed by nature (in the case of Java). The availability of many ready-made packages that deal with networking, both as open-source code and framework built-in packages; this makes it easier for programmers to build upon the work of others. more on the core features of the language, especially those supporting networking. Pay less attention to user-interface elements such as outputting, window design and techniques, and user-interface elements. This can be done using books, online tutorials or academic courses. However, understanding the architecture of distributed applications and its concepts is necessary.  It is recommended that you get at least an introduction to all of them. Most distributed application programmers do not stop at one or two programming languages, but learn at least one programming language on each operating system. That is because if you want your application to be "distributed", you should provide a version of it at least for each major operating system.  Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) .NET Remoting XML Web Services
