witch's milk

Examples of witch's milk in the following topics:

• Physiology of Lactation

  • In humans the process of feeding milk is called breastfeeding or nursing.
  • In most species, milk comes out of the mother's nipples ; however, the platypus (a non-placental mammal) releases milk through ducts in its abdomen.
  • This phenomenon may also be observed in newborn infants as well (for instance, witch's milk).
  • Galactopoiesis is the maintenance of milk production.
  • Colostrum is the first milk a breastfed baby receives.

• The Witch Trials

  • The witch trials in the early modern period were a period of witch hunts between the 15th and 18th centuries, when across early modern Europe and to some extent in the European colonies in North America, there was a widespread hysteria that malevolent Satanic witches were operating as an organized threat to Christendom.
  • During this period, the biggest witch trials were held in Europe, notably the Trier witch trials (1581–1593), the Fulda witch trials (1603–1606), the Basque witch trials (1609-1611), the Würzburg witch trial (1626–1631) and the Bamberg witch trials (1626–1631).
  • The Witch Trials of Trier in Germany was perhaps the biggest witch trial in European history.
  • The 1692 Salem witch trials were a brief outburst of witch hysteria in the New World at a time when the practice was already waning in Europe.

• The Salem Witch Trials

  • The Salem witch trials of 1692 were the earliest examples of mass hysteria in the country.
  • The Salem witch trials were a series of hearings and prosecutions of people accused of witchcraft in colonial Massachusetts between February 1692 and May 1693.
  • Events such as the sickness or death of children, the loss of cattle, and other catastrophes were often blamed on the work of witches.
  • Throughout the year, more women and some men were arrested, including citizens in good standing, and colonists began to fear that anyone could be a witch.
  • Evaluate what the Salem witch trials reveal about the role of religion and the role of women in the colonies

• The "Reign of Witches"

  • The "Reign of Witches" was a descriptive catchphrase used by Democratic-Republicans to criticize the Federalist Alien and Sedition Acts.
  • "The Reign of Witches" is a termed used by Democrat-Republicans to describe the Federalist party and John Adams after the passage of the Alien and Sedition Acts.

• Optional Collaborative Classrom Exercise

  • Find a population, a sample, the parameter, the statistic, a variable, and data for the following study: You want to determine the average (mean) number of glasses of milk college students drink per day.
  • Suppose yesterday, in your English class, you asked five students how many glasses of milk they drank the day before.
  • The answers were 1, 0, 1, 3, and 4 glasses of milk.

• Lactose Intolerance

  • Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest lactose, a sugar found in milk, due to a lack of the enzyme lactase.
  • However, many commercial brands contain milk solids, increasing the lactose content.
  • Lactose intolerance, also called lactase deficiency and hypolactasia, is the inability to digest lactose, a sugar found in milk and, to a lesser extent, in milk-derived dairy products.
  • It is important to distinguish lactose intolerance from milk allergy, an abnormal immune response (usually) to milk proteins.
  • This may be done in diagnosis by giving lactose-free milk, producing no symptoms in the case of lactose intolerance, but the same reaction as to normal milk if it is a milk allergy.

• Microbes and Dairy Products

  • Fermented milk or dairy products have been part of human diet since ancient times.
  • The acid precipitates the proteins in the milk and that is why fermented products are usually of thicker consistency than milk.
  • Yogurt is most often made of cow's milk although milk from sheep, goat, water buffalo, camels and yaks is used as well depending on the region of cultivation.
  • To make yogurt, the milk is first heated to 80ºC or boiled to kill any pathogenic bacteria and to denature the milk proteins to prevent the formation of curds.
  • It has longer shelf life than uncultured milk.

• Mammary Glands

  • A mammary gland is an organ in female mammals that produces milk to feed young offspring.
  • A mammary gland is an organ in female mammals that produces milk to feed young offspring.
  • Milk secretion (lactation) begins a few days after birth, caused by reduction in circulating progesterone and the presence of prolactin, which mediates further alveologenesis and milk protein production and regulates osmotic balance and tight junction function.
  • During weaning, decreased prolactin, lack of mechanical stimulation through suckling, and changes in osmotic balance caused by milk stasis and leaking of tight junctions cause cessation of milk production.

• Witchcraft in New England

  • The most famous witch trials in American history, however, took place from February 1692 to May 1693 in and around coastal settlements near Salem, Massachusetts.
  • This work by Reverend Cotton Mather was written to justify the Salem Witch Trials of the 1690s.

• Introduction to minimizing packaging

  • The improved milk jug is another good packaging improvement example embraced by Wal-Mart.
  • Square jugs also store 50% more milk per square metre so more milk can be put on trucks, which reduces trips and fuel costs (by over 11,000 truck journeys annually).
  • Sam's Club (a division of Wal-Mart) says that the new jug also enables almost three times more milk to be placed in coolers.
