A little slice of Olive knowledge... Storage. Olives are best kept in a sealed container. Neither of our jars or tubs of olives need to be refrigerated. As long as they are submerged in their brine and kept out of direct heat and sunlight, they will last up to 6 months at room temperature. However, olives marinated in ingredients other than brine need to be refrigerated after opening to prevent rancidity. If kept cold, they will last up to 3 months.
Dermatoglyphics (from ancient Greek derma=skin, glyph=carving) is the scientific study of fingerprints, lines, mounts, and shapes of hands. Dermatoglyphics refers to the formation of naturally occurring ridges on certain body parts, namely palms, fingers, soles and toes. These are areas where hair usually does not grow and these ridges allow for increased leverage when picking up objects or walking barefoot. The finger prints of both hands are not the same. They do not change size or shape throughout a person's life, except in cases of serious injuries that scar the dermis. As a term, dermatoglyphics is used to distinguish it from the superficially similar pseudoscience of palmistry.
[durâ²mÉtÅglifâ²iks] Etymology: Gk, derma + glyphe, a carving. the study of the skin ridge patterns on fingers, toes, palms of hands, and soles of feet. The patterns are used as a basis of identification and also have diagnostic value because of associations between certain patterns and chromosomal anomalies.
