Apple output in 2005

At least 55 million tonnes of apples were grown worldwide in 2005, with a value of about $10 billion. About two-fifths of this total was produced in China.^[42] More than 7.5% world production occurs in the United States.^[30]

In the United States, more than 60% of all the apples sold commercially are grown in Washington state.^[43] Imported apples from New Zealand and other more temperate areas are competing with US production and increasing each year.^[42]

Most of Australia's apple production is for domestic consumption. Imports from New Zealand have been disallowed under quarantine regulations for fireblight since 1921.^[44]

The largest exporters of apples in 2006 were China, Chile, Italy, France and the U.S., while the biggest importers in the same year wereRussia, Germany, the UK and the Netherlands.^[45]

Instructions

Rats

• Both pet and wild rats enjoy having a little apple to supplement their diets. These small mammals will eat what they can find in the wild, but they don't pass up apples. Pet owners of rats offer apples as a small part of their diet in captivity. Apple treats can be fed to a pet rat in small portions that equal one-half-inch cubes. Each cube is considered a serving to a rat, and it can be given in moderation with other fruits and vegetables. Many pet rats are fed prepackaged rodent blocks as a staple of their diet; these ingredients of these blocks include apple because of its nutritional value.

Hamsters

• Hamsters are another small rodent with a sweet tooth, and they are crazy for sweet fruits such as apples. Pet owners need to make sure they don't overfeed with apples, though, as hamsters need a healthy mixture of foods for a nutritious diet. These little fuzzy mammals like to stash food for later, so pet owners must make sure they provide fresh foods on a daily basis. Apples can be offered in small portions with the rest of the animal's food. Apples are not recommended for dwarf hamsters.

Rabbits

• People think carrots are the rabbit's favorite treat, but apples are also a favorite. Rabbits, tame and wild, mostly eat leafy greens and vegetables. Cubed apple can be offered as a treat from time to time, and most rabbits waste no time in gobbling it up. Rabbits need the roughage that grasses such as hay offer them, but apple treats have that benefit as well and offer a good source of fiber. Make sure to leave the peel on when offering apple to rabbits, as it contains vitamins and roughage that rabbits need.

Sugar Gliders

• 
  
  As their name suggests, sugar gliders love sugar, but their diet is not composed mainly of sugary substances. These mammals are omnivorous. In the wild, they eat lots of insects in addition to sap and nectar. In captivity, apples and apple juice should be given to a sugar glider in small portions as a fruit serving. Sugar gliders are active at night, so if you offer apple to them, it is best to offer it in the evening so you can throw away any uneaten apple in the morning.

Symptoms: Friends of the Fear

Every case of phobia of falling down stairs is a little different.

Why? Because the core of the problem – the patterns of thinking, the images, movies, sounds and dialog that are internally associated withstairs – are different in each person.

(Note that most cures offered for phobia of falling down stairs – expecially using drugs and medications – will tackle only the symptoms, not the thinking that is the actual core of the problem).

But while the ‘internal representations’ as they are called are different from person to person there are a number of symptoms which are common to many climacophobes:

• A feeling of uncontrollable anxiety when you think about or are exposed to stairs
• The feeling that you must do everything possible to avoid stairs
• The inability to function normally because of your anxiety
• Often, the knowledge that your fears are unreasonable or exaggerated but feeling powerless to control them

Climacophobic symptoms can be mental, emotional and physical. The anxiety and fear can go from mild feelings of apprehension to afull-blown panic attack.

Typically, the closer you are to what you’re afraid of, the greater your fear will be. You can test the severity of your problem with this 2-minute online phobia of falling down stairs test.
