Tom, I really think you could work this one out just by looking up "submit" and "submission" in a dictionary. |

Hi Tom
What happens when you submit to the infinite?

Here is my two cent!
If the infinite is God in this sentence, then, I think, the writer is saying that only when a person completely yields to God and starts believing that God is the ultimate authority, then only he can feel the "supremacy" of God.
Am I correct?
By the four winds,it was a bit too philosophical for me!

It doesn't have to mean God. Some people think there's an "infinite" but don't believe in God. Some people say "the infinite" when they're embarrassed to say "God" in front of someone.
So, the person meant something infinite, whether it's God, the sky, yoghurt, or something else. |

You need yoghurt starter (in other words, some yoghurt) to make yoghurt. This means that yoghurt has always existed, because if it didn't, there would be no starter to make it with. |

. Which came first, the yoghurt or the yoghurt bacterium?
Thirty-two bacterial isolates from species commonly used in yoghurts and fermented milks were examined for their ability to synthesise or utilise folate during fermentation of skim milk. The organisms examined included the traditional yoghurt starter cultures, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus, and probiotic lactobacilli, bifidobacteria, and Enterococcus faecium. Folate was synthesised by S. thermophilus, bifidobacteria, and E. faecium. S. thermophilus was the dominant producer, elevating folate levels in skim milk from 11.5 ng g(-1) to between 40 and 50 ng g(-1). Generally, lactobacilli depleted the available folate in the skim milk. Fermentations with mixed cultures showed that folate production and utilisation by the cultures was additive. Fermentations using a combination of Bifidobacterium animalis and S. thermophilus resulted in a six-fold increase in folate concentration. Although increased folate levels in yoghurts and fermented milks are possible through judicious selection of inoculum species, the folate levels remain relatively low in terms of recommended daily allowance. _________________ Canadian-American native speaker who teaches English for a living at Mister Micawber's ESL cafe: Interview with Mister Micawber |

If it is not a typo...it is a new structure for me.

I've never met a cat man, only cat ladies.
This vet says that women with multiple cats are generally middle-aged women who can't form satisfying relationships with men. He says they transfer their style of choosing men over to the pet world. Instead of a dog, which usually genuinely loves its owner and cares about her, they choose a cat. Cats are usually selfish and don't care about their owners one way or another as long as someone is feeding them. The women get disturbed over the fact that the cat is not returning their affection, but they convince themselves that the next cat will be much more loving. But the next cat turns out to be, well, a cat. Same problem. The woman decides that the NEXT cat will care about her more, but the same thing happens AGAIN. This is how (according to the vet) these women end up with multiple cats.
This makes perfect sense to me, because I've known a few women who choose one abusive boyfriend after another, while always finding a reason to send the nice, kind suitors away. |
