I understand that atta is Indian and used in flatbreads, but aren’t they both made from the entire wheat grain?
Could I substitute atta for whole wheat flour?
Atta seems to be a special kind of wheat. Chapatis made from American whole wheat flour don’t have quite the same consistency.
You could substitute one for the other, but it won’t turn out exactly the same. Atta is a little heavier and stickier.
I just discovered hundreds of grain-like sand substances lying in the corner of my room and outside the room door. Are these termites’ eggs?
I also think there are other pests living in my house. Just a day ago, I saw a beetle crawling near the window. There are many small fly-like insects staying in my toilet. Do you have any advice on what I should do?
to educate yourself about termites go to the website:
http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/search.php?terms=termites&x=55&y=25
you find there also other information about other ants and type of intruders. With your description "grain-like sand substances" it is difficult to analyse what it may be. Sometimes putting down a small plastic bottle with a couple of small holes and filled with some sugar can attract the intruders and give you an idea who they may be.
I’ve grown some sweetcorn at home & am starting to harden them off, but is it still too early to plant out ? Considering the barmy weather we’re having?
mharden them off for a week … then plant them out
Ivermectin is what vets use to treat mites in small pets. Can the Ivermectin made for deworming cattle be used in very small doses for gerbils? If not, is there a product with Ivermectin marketed for small animals?
I would recommend getting an Ivermectin solution from your vet, or having the vet administer it themselves. You *can* use cattle/sheep/etc. Ivermectin on gerbils, but you have to dilute it the right way and measure out exact doses based on the individual gerbil’s weight.
However, even if you decide to use the cattle Ivermectin, you need to see the vet first, so they can identify the type of mite. Ivermectin is *not* effective against all types of mites!
If it turns out you have a type of mite that does not respond to Ivermectin, you can put a *very* tiny drop of Frontline on the back of each gerbil’s neck. Frontline is not approved for use in gerbils, and may not be 100% safe– but it does work.
I had a severe infestation of Tropical Bird Mites, which are resistant to Ivermectin. So I used a 1cc insulin needle with the tip of the needle cut off, and put 1-2 drops of Frontline on the back of each gerbil’s neck (depending on their size). I made sure the Frontline was rubbed into the skin and fully dry before letting the treated gerbil back in with its tankmates (so the other gerbils couldn’t lick it off).
If it turns out you have a type of mite that does respond to Ivermectin, message me. I have the dilution and dosing instructions for using 1% Ivermectin on gerbils (from a vet relative).
The top soil is sandy but i could cover it, and i am planting two small trees near it to provide more shade. what is the best way to cultivate and maintain a bed of moss?
As you have already mentioned you will need to keep the area shaded and moist. Moss can and does grow on sandy soil so you could leave it as is or add a bit of topsoil to the area and mix it in – flatten it out and now you are ready for the moss.
Go out and collect a handful or two or three of nice green moss, then head to the grocery store and get a quart of buttermilk. Put the moss and buttermilk in a blender and puree them together – then pour the solution (slurry) over the area where you would like the moss to grow. If the conditions are right, you should have a beautiful moss garden in no time.
Sorry to hear about the loss of your dog.
I am currently applying for a USDA rural development home loan and I was wondering how hard it is to be approved for one, I have already been qualified by my income. Once I am approved is it a pain to go through or is it somewhat easy?
The USDA product is a simply wonderful one. Qualification is easy and so is the process. The only caveat is that both the borrower and the property must meet the program guidelines. Sounds like you meet the income guidelines and as long as your property is in an approved area, you should have not trouble.
From a loan officer’s prospective, I wish there were more approved areas in my location so that I could use this program more often. USDA will finance the closing costs, it is 100% financing, and they are not credit score driven like Fannie Mae. This program makes it easy to get people into homes at a great rate and with minimal, if any, expense.
Lucky you!
I need help on answering this following question.
What did the first thanksgiving include on the menu?
The big thing on the menu was deer. They also had lobster, turkey (but it wasn’t the main course), pheasant, lots of fish, duck, maize, and lots of wild vegetables.
They wouldn’t have had any tomatoes or potatoes, since these are both members of the nightshade family, and the europeans thought these were all poisonous. America didn’t have these yet, either.
Onions, for sure, since natives and Europeans had been eating these for a long time.
Beer.
Berries like perssimmons and gooseberries and the like.
Apples.
Squash, pumpkins.
No pies, though, since they didn’t have good ovens, or the rendered fat, or the flour needed to make a crust.
Pretty much anything that you would find growing wild in New England, they ate some of it.
Is capacitor bank in ac drive use to save energy or power by improving power factor? or it is use to maintain dc constant to inverter stage or for other purpose.
you usually have 2. one is a start cap which sends a burst of power to the motor when starting. its usually controlled by a current relay that opens and disengages the start cap once the motor is running. usually opens in 2 sec or less.
the other cap or run capacitor keeps run voltage constant and clean
cap are used on single phase motors. 3 phase dose not need them
