Marques Haynes (March 10, 1926 – May 22, 2015) was an American professional basketball player.
He was a member of the Harlem Globetrotters.
He is known for his ability to dribble the ball and keep it away from defenders.
According to the movie Harlem Globetrotters: Six Decades of Magic, Haynes could dribble the ball as many as six times a second.
Early playing days
Haynes learned to dribble the basketball from his sisters.
His skills may have been helped by handling the ball on the dirt courts of his hometown.
A native of Sand Springs, Oklahoma, he played basketball for Langston University from 1942-1946.
While at Langston, he once dribbled out the clock in a conference tournament game to taunt an opponent, Southern University.
Southern had just run up the score against a weaker team (Sam Huston College, later Huston-Tillotson University).
The Sam Huston team was coached by a young Jackie Robinson.
Haynes' own coach, the famous Zip Gayles, punished him for the taunting, but it helped draw the attention of the Globetrotters.
They were always on the search for trick ballhandlers.
Langston was invited to play an exhibition game against the Globetrotters in Oklahoma City.
In that game, Haynes led Langston to a 4-point win.
He was immediately invited to join the Globetrotters.
He returned to Langston to complete his degree.
Then he began his long professional career.
Playing with the Harlem Globetrotters
Haynes played with the Globetrotters from 1947-1953.
Upon leaving in 1953, he turned down a $35,000 a year offer from the Philadelphia Warriors that would have made him the second-highest paid player in the NBA.
Instead, he started his own barnstorming team, the Harlem Magicians.
Boxing legend Sugar Ray Robinson sometimes played games with this team.
Haynes later rejoined the Globetrotters as a player/coach.
He also played for the Harlem Wizards.
He retired in 1992 after a 46-year professional career, and was inducted to the Basketball Hall of Fame on October 2 1998.
He lived in Dallas, Texas.
Haynes died on May 22, 2015, in Plano, Texas, aged 89.
Many consider him the top ballhandler who ever lived.
His game influenced players such as Bob Cousy, Pete Maravich, and Fred "Curly" Neal.
It is possible that Haynes has played more professional basketball games than anyone in history, staying active well into his sixties.
The Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) is a college athletic conference based in Birmingham, Alabama.
It is made up of historically black universities in the Southern United States.
It participates in the NCAA's Division I for all sports.
In football, it participates in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS).
The SWAC is one of two conferences (the other being the Ivy League) which do not take part in postseason play in the FCS football tournament.
It is the only one of the two whose members offer a full range of scholarships for football.
The SWAC instead splits its schools into two divisions, and plays a conference championship game.
Furthermore, one SWAC game, the Bayou Classic between Southern and Grambling State, is positioned on the schedule after the NCAA tournament has begun.
In addition, Alabama State plays Division II rival Tuskegee annually on Thanksgiving Day (The Turkey Day Classic).
In 1920, athletic officials from six Texas HBCUs – C.H. Fuller of Bishop College, Red Randolph and C.H. Patterson of Paul Quinn College, E.G. Evans, H.J. Evans and H.J. Starns of Prairie View A&M, D.C. Fuller of Texas College and G. Whitte Jordan of Wiley College – met in Houston, Texas, to discuss common interests.
At this meeting, they agreed to form a new league, the SWAC.
Paul Quinn became the first of the original members to leave the league when it did so in 1929.
When Langston University of Oklahoma was allowed into the conference two years later, it began the migration of state-supported institutions into the SWAC.
Southern University entered the league in 1934.
Arkansas AM&N entered in 1936 and Texas Southern University in 1954.
As the state-supported schools became bigger, it became difficult for the church-supported schools to pay for their sports teams.
Soon the church-supported schools started to leave the conference.
Bishop withdrew from the conference in 1956, Langston in 1957 and Huston-Tillotson (formerly Samuel Huston) in 1959.
That happened one year after two more state-supported schools entered the league (Grambling College and Jackson State College).
The enter-exit cycle continued in 1961 when Texas College withdrew, followed by the entrance of Alcorn A&M in 1962.
Wiley left in 1968, the same year Mississippi Valley State College entered.
Arkansas AM&N exited in 1970 and Alabama State University entered in 1982.
Arkansas-Pine Bluff (formerly Arkansas AM&N) rejoined the SWAC on July 1, 1997, regaining full-member status one year later.
Alabama A&M University became the conference’s tenth member when it became a full member in September, 1999 after a one year period as an affiliate SWAC member.
Current championship competition offered by the SWAC includes competition for men in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, indoor track, outdoor track & field and tennis.
Women’s competition is offered in the sports of basketball, bowling, cross country, golf, indoor track, outdoor track & field, soccer, softball, tennis and volleyball.

The Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player Award (MVP) is a Major League Baseball (MLB) award given each year to one outstanding player in the American and National Leagues.
Since 1931, it has been awarded by the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA).
The winner receives the Kenesaw Mountain Landis Memorial Baseball Award.
The award is named in honor of the first MLB commissioner.
Landis served from 1920 to 1944.
MVP voting takes place before the postseason.
The results are not announced until after the World Series.
The BBWAA began asking three writers in each league city in 1938.
They made that number two per league city in 1961.
First basemen, with 34 winners, have won the most MVPs among infielders.
This is followed by second basemen (16), third basemen (15), and shortstops (15).
Of the twenty-four pitchers who have won the award, fifteen are right-handed while nine are left-handed.
Walter Johnson, Carl Hubbell, and Hal Newhouser are the only pitchers to win more than once.
Newhouser won his in back-to-back seasons, 1944 and 1945.
Stan Musial, Alex Rodriguez, and Robin Yount have won at different positions.
Rodriguez is the only player to win the award with two different teams at two different positions.
Barry Bonds has won the most often (seven times).
He has also won it the most times in a row (2001–2004).
Jimmie Foxx was the first player to win more than once.
Nine players have won three times and 19 have won twice.
The award's only tie occurred in the National League in 1979 when Keith Hernandez and Willie Stargell received the same amount of points.
There have been 17 unanimous winners, meaning they received all the first-place votes.
The New York Yankees have the most winning players with 22.
The St. Louis Cardinals have the second most with 17 winners.
Five teams have not had a winner.
The most recent winners are Mike Trout in the American League and Clayton Kershaw in the National League.
Chalmers Award (1911–1914)
Before the 1910 season, Hugh Chalmers of Chalmers Automobile announced he would present a Chalmers Model 30 automobile to the player with the highest batting average in Major League Baseball at the end of the season.
The 1910 race for best average in the American League was between the Detroit Tigers' widely disliked Ty Cobb and Nap Lajoie of the Cleveland Indians.
On the last day of the season, Lajoie overtook Cobb's batting average with seven bunt hits against the St. Louis Browns.
American League President Ban Johnson said a recalculation showed that Cobb had won the race anyway.
Chalmers ended up giving cars to both players.
A committee of baseball writers were to come together after the season to determine the "most important and useful player to the club and to the league".
Since the award was not as useful at advertising as Chalmers had hoped, it was discontinued after 1914.
League Awards (1922–1929)
In 1922 the American League created a new award to honor "the baseball player who is of the greatest all-around service to his club".
Winners, voted on by a committee of eight baseball writers chaired by James Crusinberry, received a bronze medal and a cash prize.
Voters were required to select one player from each team.
Player-managers and prior award winners were could not win.
These problems resulted in the award's being dropped after 1928.
The National League award, without these restrictions, lasted from 1924 to 1929.
Baseball Writers Association of America's Most Valuable Player (1931–present)
The BBWAA first awarded the modern MVP after the 1931 season, took the format the National League used to distribute its league award.
One writer in each city with a team filled out a ten-place ballot.
Ten points were given for the recipient of a first-place vote, nine for a second-place vote, and so on.
In 1938, the BBWAA raised the amount of voters to three per city and gave 14 points for a first-place vote.
The only significant change since then happened in 1961, when the number of voters was lowered to two per league city.
A player is considered inactive if he has announced his retirement or not played for a full season.
A unanimous victory indicates that the player received all possible first-place votes.
Hernandez and Stargell both received 216 points in the 1979 voting.
A silver medal is a medal given to the second place finisher of contests (usually sports competitions) such as the Olympic Games or Commonwealth Games.
First and third place finishers usually receive a gold medal and bronze medal, respectively.
In 1896, winners' medals were made from silver.
The custom of gold-silver-bronze for the first three places dates from the 1904 games.
It has been copied for many other sports events.
Creating the medals is the responsibility of the host city.
From 1928-1968 the design was always the same.
One side showed a design by Florentine artist Giuseppe Cassioli with text giving the host city.
The other side showed another design of an Olympic champion.
From 1972-2000, Cassioli's design (or a slight reworking) remained on the one with a custom design by the host city on the other.
Because Cassioli's design showed a Roman amphitheatre for what was originally a Greek games, a new design was create for the Athens 2004 Games.

Cáhuil is a Chilean village.
It is 15 kilometers south of Pichilemu, in the outfall of the Nilahue lake, in the Region of O'Higgins.
means in Mapudungun language "seagulls place".
The main characteristic of the place is the crafty production of coastal salt, oysters and choros.
The Cáhuil Lagoon is a place suitable for fishing, swimming and boat travels.
The salines in this area are very old.
It is known that the indigenous people extracted it in a very rudimentary way.
However, the extracting method has been improved and the production has increased.
As of 1978, more than a 60% of the people of Cáhuil lived around the salt production, production not related to industrial enterprises.
In a way to promote the tourism in Cáhuil, the Municipality of Pichilemu created the "Salt Route", that takes the tourists into places where the salt generation process is dpne.
This travel starts in Pichilemu and includes Cáhuil, Barrancas, La Villa, El Bronce, La Palmilla and La Plaza.
On this route are two rural ranches, "Oro Blanco" and "El Bronce".
In the Cáhuil zone are at least 46 birds species.
Many of the species are in danger of extinction.
Some of them are the coscoroba swan, larus maculipennis, garza cuca, among others.
It hosts at least seven silvester ducks species.

In mathematics (particularly in differential calculus), the derivative is a way to show instantaneous rate of change: that is, the amount by which a function is changing at one given point.
For functions that act on the real numbers, it is the slope of the tangent line at a point on a graph.
The derivative is often written as  ("dy over dx", meaning the difference in y divided by the difference in x).
The d is not a variable, and therefore cannot be cancelled out.
Another common notation is —the derivative of function  at point , usually read as " prime of ".
Definition of a derivative
The derivative of y with respect to x is defined as the change in y over the change in x, as the distance between  and  becomes infinitely small (infinitesimal).
In mathematical terms,
Derivatives of functions
Linear functions
Derivatives of linear functions (functions of the form  with no quadratic or higher terms) are constant.
That is, the derivative in one spot on the graph will remain the same on another.
When the dependent variable  directly takes 's value (), the slope of the line is 1 in all places, so  regardless of where the position is.
When  modifies 's number by adding or subtracting a constant value, the slope is still 1, because the change in  and  do not change if the graph is shifted up or down.
That is, the slope is still 1 throughout the entire graph and its derivative is also 1.
Power functions
Power functions (in the form of ) behave differently from linear functions, because their exponent and slope vary.
Power functions, in general, follow the rule that .
That is, if we give a the number 6, then
Another example, which is less obvious, is the function .
This is essentially the same, because 1/x can be simplified to use exponents:
Exponential functions
An exponential function is of the form , where  and  are constants and  is a function of .
The difference between an exponential and a polynomial is that in a polynomial  is raised to some power, whereas in an exponential  is in the power.
Find .
Logarithmic functions
Take, for example, .
This can be reduced to (by the properties of logarithms):
The logarithm of 5 is a constant, so its derivative is 0.
The derivative of  is .
For derivatives of logarithms not in base e, such as , this can be reduced to:
Trigonometric functions
Properties of derivatives
Derivatives can be broken up into smaller parts where they are manageable (as they have only one of the above function characteristics).
For example,  can be broken up as:

A ruminant is an ungulate that eats and digests plant-based food such as grass.
Ruminating mammals include cattle, goats, sheep, giraffes, bison, yaks, water buffalo, deer, camels, alpacas, llamas, wildebeest, antelope, pronghorn, and nilgai.
All of them are Artiodactyla, cloven-hoofed animals.
The word "ruminant" comes from the Latin word ruminare which means "to chew over again".
How rumination works
The primary difference between a ruminant and non-ruminants (such as people, horses, and pigs) is that ruminants have a four-compartment stomach.
The four parts of the stomach are the rumen, reticulum, omasum, and abomasum.
In the first two chambers, the rumen and the reticulum, the food is mixed with saliva and separates into layers of solid and liquid material.
Solids clump together to form the cud or bolus.
The cud is then regurgitated (brought up to the mouth) and chewed slowly.
Fiber, especially cellulose, is broken down by microbial gut flora (bacteria, archaea, protozoa, and fungi).
After this the digesta is moved to the true stomach, the abomasum.
Digestion takes place here.
The digesta is finally moved into the small intestine, where nutrients are absorbed.
Water is absorbed in the large intestine, leaving the waste.
Almost all the glucose produced by breaking down cellulose is used by microbes in the rumen, and so ruminants get little glucose from the small intestine.
Instead, glucose for a ruminants' brain function and lactation, if needed, is made by the liver.
Where ruminants are found
There are also about 75 million wild ruminants.
They can be found anywhere except for the continents Australia and Antarctica.
Most of them are in Europe, Africa and Asia.

The original of these texts were written in different languages.
Today, the  collection of texts that is called The Bible is written in one language only.
For this reason, at least some texts need to be translated.
Versions of the Bible are also different in the texts they include, some texts are not part of some Bible versions.
One of the first such translations is the Septuagint, which is Ancient Greek.
Another well-known translation is the Vulgate, which is Latin.
From about the 14th century, the Bible was also translated into other languages.
Types of translation
Translating a text is also always linked to looking at its meaning, and to interpreting it.
A word in one language cannot be translated into a word in a different language, with exactly the same meaning.
Formal equivalence
One such method of translation is called literal translation or formal equivalence.
Literal translation tries to be as close as possible to what is written in the original language.
Often this means translating each word separately.
There are a number of problems with literal translations: First, words must be added, to get a valid grammar in the target language.
These words are not in the source text.
The second problem is that the reader must be familiar with the subject, to understand some of the translation.
Dynamic equivalence
Another way is to look at the thoughts and ideas of the source text and to get these into the target language.
This is called dynamic equivalence.
A translation that uses dynamic equivalence may use other words and phrases, but tries to keep the meaning intact.
A third way is called paraphrasing.
It tries to explain the concepts that are found in the text, and does not even use dynamic equivalence.
That way, paraphrasing may leave out sections of text, or add other sections that explain these concepts.
A paraphrased text may be very easy to understand, but is not suited for in-depth study.
Unknown words
Another problem that can occur with translation is that the meaning of some words may not be known.
This is often the case with words that only occur once in a text.
Such words are known as Hapax legomena.
Their meaning must be guessed from the context.
Selecting the source
Before the invention of the printing press, texts had to be copied by hand.
This introduced errors.
After a certain time there were different versions of the same text.
Comparing such versions is known as textual criticism.
The translation of two different versions of the same text may result in two different texts.
Translating names
The 1955 World Series was played between the Brooklyn Dodgers and the New York Yankees.
The Dodgers won the Series in seven games.
This was their first championship in team history.
It would be the only Series the Dodgers won in Brooklyn.
The team moved to Los Angeles after the 1957 season.
The last time the Brooklyn team won a World Championship was in 1900.
The team was called the Brooklyn Superbas.
The series was called the Chronicle-Telegraph Cup.
Their opponent then was fellow National League competitor Pittsburgh Pirates.
This series would also end a long period of success for the Yankees in the World Series.
It was the Yankees' first loss in a World Series since 1942.
It was only their second loss since 1926.
The Yankees were 15-2 in the series during that time.
They would lose again in 1957, 1960, 1963, and 1964.
The Yankees would have a record of 4-5 in World Series over the next decade.
The two teams were meeting in a World Series for the fifth time in nine years.
The Yankees had won in 1947, 1949, 1952 and 1953.

Second base, or 2B, is the second of four places on a baseball field which must be touched in order by a base runner before he can score a run for that player's team.
A second baseman is the baseball player who guards second base.
Also called second bagger, the second baseman often has quick hands and feet.
He needs the ability to get rid of the ball quickly.
He must be able to make the turn on a double play.
Also, shortstops and second basemen are usually right-handed.
This makes it easier to turn a double play.
In the numbering system used to record defensive plays, the second baseman is assigned the number 4.

MEP Profile of Nick Griffin
Geoffrey Burbidge  (born Chipping Norton, 24 September 1925; died La Jolla, California,   26 January 2010)  was an English astrophysicist.
For many years he was professor at the  University of California, San Diego.
In 1957 he published a famous paper, together with three other physicists, about the origin of elements.
Many scientists disagreed with ideas that he had later in his life, because he did not believe in the Big Bang theory.
He started to study history at the University of Bristol, but soon changed to physics because he could then get financial help from the government (World War II was on, so science was very important to the government).
He went to London and got a doctorate  from University College London in 1951.
He met the astronomer Margaret Peachey.
He became very interested in astronomy and he married her in 1948.
From then on they always worked together in several places.
They worked at Harvard, the University of Chicago and Cambridge University.
Then Margaret got work at the California Institute of Technology, while Geoffrey worked at the Mount Wilson Observatory and Palomar Observatory.
They both got jobs at the University of California, San Diego, in 1962.
The B2FH paper
In 1957 he and his wife, together with William Fowler, the American physicist, and Fred Hoyle, the British astronomer, wrote a 104-page paper about  stellar nucleosynthesis.
The paper became known as the B2FH (because of their initials).
It talked about nuclear reactions inside stars, showing how these reactions tear apart blocks of matter and put it together again differently.
It was a similar idea to what Charles Darwin had written about 100 years earlier in the “Origin of Species”, where he had described how creatures had evolved.
Scientists saw this paper as the most important paper ever written about astrophysics.
Later in his career Burbidge refused to accept the Big Bang theory which describes the start of the universe.
Quasars are very bright objects with a very high redshift.
The Big Bang theorists say that they come from places extremely far away in the universe.
But Burbidge thought that quasars come from nearby galaxies, travelling near the speed of light, which explains their redshift.
He thought they produced new matter as old matter was destroyed by reactions.
Although many scientists disagree with Burbidge’s later ideas, he is still thought of as an extremely important scientist.
In 2005 he and his wife were awarded the British Royal Astronomical Society Gold Medal.
”Geoffrey Burbidge- Obituary” in The Independent 24 April 2010 p. 51
Between 1984 and 2000 he worked with Dieter Bohlen in Modern Talking and Blue System, as part of the chorus.
Since 2003 he works on his music group, Systems in Blue, with Rolf Köhler and Detlef Wiedeke.
Radiation therapy is the use of radiation to treat diseases.
It is typically used to treat of cancer.
It may use a radioactive material or particle accelerator or other source of ionizing radiation that can kill or damage cancerous cells.
Radiation therapy may help cure several different types of cancer if they are limited to one area of the body.
Doctors also use it to prevent tumor recurrence after surgery to remove a primary malignant tumor (for example, early stages of breast cancer).
Radiation therapy works together with chemotherapy.
Radiation therapy has been used before, during, and after chemotherapy in cancers known to be affected by radiation.
Radiation therapy is used on tumors because of its ability to control cell growth.
Ionizing radiation works by damaging the DNA of exposed tissue thus killing it.
To spare normal tissues (such as skin or organs which radiation must pass through in order to treat the tumor), doctors aim weaker radiation beams from several angles of exposure.
The beams intersect at the tumor, providing a much larger absorbed dose there than in the surrounding, healthy tissue.
Besides the tumor itself, the target for the radiation may also include the lymph nodes that drain the area.
Doctors include the lymph nodes if they are clinically or radiologically involved with tumor, or if there is thought to be a risk of that individual cancer cells will spread.
It is impossible to aim the radiation beam exactly because the tumor moves as the patient breathes.
So, doctors also expect to include some healthy tissue around the tumor to make sure that the entire tumor is hit by radiation.
Radiation oncology is the medical specialty concerned with prescribing radiation.
This is different than radiology, the use of radiation in medical imaging and diagnosis).
Radiation may be prescribed by a radiation oncologist with intent to cure ("curative").
It may also be used as palliative treatment (where cure is not possible and the aim is for local disease control or symptomatic relief) or as therapeutic treatment (where the therapy has survival benefit and it can be curative).
It is also common to combine radiation therapy with surgery, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, Immunotherapy or some mixture of the four.
Most common cancer types can be treated with radiation therapy in some way.
The precise treatment intent will depend on the tumor type, location, and stage, as well as the general health of the patient.
Total body irradiation (TBI) is a radiation therapy technique used to prepare the body to receive a bone marrow transplant.
Brachytherapy, in which a radiation source is placed inside or next to the area requiring treatment, is another form of radiation therapy that minimizes exposure of healthy tissue during procedures to treat cancers of the breast, prostate and other organs.
Radiation therapy can also be used in non-malignant conditions, such as the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia, severe thyroid eye disease, pterygium, pigmented villonodular synovitis, and prevention of keloid scar growth, vascular restenosis, and heterotopic ossification.
Doctors limit the use of radiation therapy in non-malignant conditions because they worry about the radiation could start new cancers.
Dacarbizine is a type of drug used to fight cancer.
It works by changing DNA, which makes cancer cells grow more slowly or completely stop growing.
It is used against metastatic melanoma.
Only about 15.3% of people who use the drug respond to it.
People who use this drug do not live any longer as a result.
It has side effects, including less blood cells, damage to the liver.
I can also sometimes make other types of cancer start growing.
The Ross Park is an old hotel in the Chilean city of Pichilemu.
It was created by Agustín Ross Edwards in 1885,  and remodeled in December 1987.
The park is located on Agustín Ross Avenue, in front of the old Ross Casino.
The hotel was originally named Great Hotel Pichilemu ().
The once grand Ross Hotel was constructed at the same time.
Although the hotel, one of the oldest in Chile, is still partially open to guests, it is in a high state of disrepair.
On August 2, 1963 the Men's High School of Santa Cruz was created.
Adriano Díaz donated land where the high school was going to be constructed.
However, a sport complex was constructed there instead.
The high school opened on March 1, 1964 in an old house.
It had at least 170 students.
Many of these students already had finished their first or second grade in Humanities in the Pedro Aguirre Cerda High School, but it was not recognized officially.
The first principal was Osvaldo Castillo, who hired teachers.
Almost all of the teachers had worked in the Pedro Aguirre High School.
A logo and a standard were designed.
Both included palm trees, which were common in the city.
The anthem of the high school was composed by Raúl Benavides.
Chronic myeloid leukemia is a chronic (slowly progressive) form of leukemia.
It can be treated with Gleevec (Imatinib).
Other treatments that are sometimes used include Interferon.
Hydroxyurea has also been used, as has Busulfan.

A haboob is a storm that forms in the downdrafts of a thunderstorm.
The downdrafts are caused by air being pushed down onto the ground, similiar to a leaf blower.
They can be seen in deserts like the Saharan and in places like Arizona.
A thunderstorm can make strong downdrafts, which is just wind that blows down towards the surface of the Earth.
When the wind hits the Earth, it starts to move sideways and picks up dirt and dust.
It makes a cloud of dust that is bad for people, animals and plants.

Sources of food waste
Food production
Large amounts of food waste can occur at any stage in the process of producing food.
In subsistence agriculture, the amounts of food waste are unknown.
Very likely, very little food is wasted, because food is produced because of a need for food.
In the developed world, the food industry produces food for a global marketplace demand.
Research has been done to see where food waste occurred.
The researchers looked at the food industry of the United States and found that food was wasted at the beginning of the food production.
From planting, crops can be subjected to pest infestations and bad weather, which cause losses before harvest.
Natural forces such as temperature and rainfall are the main influences on the growth of crops.
For this reason, all forms of outdoor agriculture is subject to losses beecause of these influences.
The use of machinery in harvesting can cause waste, as harvesters may be unable to discern between ripe and immature crops, or collect only part of a crop.
Food is also wasted because it does not meet certain standards or regulations for quality and appearance As a result, certain crops that do not meet these standards are not harvested; left in the field, they can provide fertilizer, or food for animals.
It is unknown how much food waste occurs during food processing.
When food is stored, considerable amounts are wasted because of pests and microorganisms.
This problem occurs in countries where it is both relatively hot, and humid.
These conditions boost the growth of pests and microorganisms.
Extreme temperature, humidity, or microoganisms also influence the nutritional value, caloric value and edibility of crops and account for food waste.
The "qualitative losses" are more difficult to assess than quantitative ones.
More losses occur because the food is not handled correctly, or because it loses weight or volume.
It is difficult to reduce some of the food waste produced by processing without affecting the quality of the product.
Certain regulations concerning the safety of foods cause food to be wasted, before it even reaches the market.
Safety regulations are in place to protect the health of the consumer.
They are very important, especially where  foodstuffs of animal origin are processed.
Contaminated products from these sources can lead to and are associated with microbiological and chemical hazards.
