William Breault, chairman of the Main South Alliance for Public Safety, is a hard-core activist, a steamroller, a man who likes to Bogart every community health and safety issue.
He is homegrown — born on Bell Hill, raised in Main South, he graduated from South High Community School and worked in the maintenance department at the College of the Holy Cross for 34 years.
He has stood as a vanguard to combat the decline in his neighborhood, working tirelessly and passionately to make it a decent and safe place to live, and he has had some success.
Working with his dad, the late Theodore Breault, who also was a community activist, he railed against rooming houses as drug and prostitution joints until the city revoked the licenses of these establishments.
The heavy lumber he wielded in wasting the proponents of needle exchange programs here and in Springfield has won him legendary status among those opposing needle exchange programs around the country.
You can’t help but feel, however, that he’s just blowing smoke when it comes to his fight against marijuana.
In 2008, he blitzed the state, working unsuccessfully against the ballot initiative that led to the Massachusetts law decriminalizing the possession of small amounts of marijuana.
Mr. Breault won’t give up the chase, however.
He is back with a petition requesting that the City Council raise the fine on possession of small amounts of marijuana to $300. Chances are the council, which increasingly is viewing every resident as a bagman, will get the munchies big time for this requested change.
“It is decriminalized. It is not legalized,” Mr. Breault said of marijuana use.
“This (higher fine) is to make them think twice. I see people walking in drug houses near me smoking a joint on the way in and smoking a joint on the way out. Well, if you are going to smoke in the open, you are going to pay a high fine.”
But he hasn’t always been a straight one. He used to drink, but doesn’t anymore. He doesn’t smoke, either.
In the late ’60s, when he was in the prime of his youth, and many of the more adventurous of his generation were drifting toward San Francisco and Haight-Ashbury to find peace and love, he stayed home to help out in his dad’s television repair shop.
But while he might have missed the flower child decade, he finally got buzzed on the marijuana issue about 20 years ago when Lea Palleria Cox, president of the Hanover-based Concerned Citizens for Drug Prevention, “introduced me to some people on the national level.”
“From everything I have read and seen it is a gateway drug,” Mr. Breault said. “It leads to other drugs. If you don’t use pot, you have a 70 percent chance of never going on to other drugs.”
Mr. Breault has been known to play fast and free with the facts when it suits his purposes, and it might well be the case here.
The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, for example, says, “Statistically, for every 104 Americans who have tried marijuana, there is only one regular user of cocaine, and less than one user of heroin.”
Nevertheless, since his association with Ms. Cox began, Mr. Breault has fully immersed himself in the fight against marijuana use and legalization across the country.
He and his organization are in cahoots with 30 or 40 partners across the country trying to blunt the country’s appetite for any use of marijuana.
When California passed its Compassionate Use Act in 1996, allowing a patient or his primary caregiver to possess marijuana on the advice of a physician, the Oakland Cannabis Buyer’s Cooperative quickly organized itself to supply such patients with the marijuana they needed.
The federal government sued the cooperative, arguing that the group’s cultivation and distribution of marijuana were against federal law because there was no medical exception to the law. The suit, with the Main South Alliance included as a friend of the court, ended up in the Supreme Court in 2001.
Mr. Breault sat in on the oral arguments, and saluted the court’s ruling that the federal Controlled Substances Act did not recognize a medical necessity exception.
The court’s action didn’t cause the movement behind medicinal use of marijuana to go up in smoke. According to NORML, 15 states and Washington, D.C., have legalized medical marijuana use, and 13 have enacted some version of the Massachusetts decriminalization law.
This should all add up as a “buzzkill” for Mr. Breault, but he cannot give up the fight. He is hooked.

Moscow is delivering certain air defense weapons to Damascus in the framework of its outstanding obligations, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said.
"The bulk of the weapons were delivered to Syria by the Soviet Union. Presently we are completing the fulfillment of obligations undertaken earlier related mainly to the delivery of certain air defense means," he said in an interview with Egypt's Al-Ahram. The text of the interview was posted on the Russian Foreign Ministry website on Monday.
"Such arms exports are of defense nature and don't contradict any international conventions," he said.
"As for Russian-Syrian military-technical cooperation (MTC), it has always been aimed at building up the defense capability of Syria in the face of a possible outside threat, not supporting Bashar al-Assad or anyone else," Lavrov said.
He again expressed concern about arms deliveries of other countries to the Syrian opposition.
"The declaration of principles of international law adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1970 says that no state should organize, support or finance armed actions aimed at overthrowing the regime in another state by force," he said.
"How does this obligation correspond with the actions of some of our foreign partners rendering various kinds of 'assistance' to militarized opposition groups? To say nothing of the fact that Al Qaeda militants are also fighting in Syria and the West has starting thinking whether the arms illegally delivered to Syria may filter into unwanted hands," the minister said.
"If all countries the representatives of which on June 30 in Geneva voted for a balanced, reasonable foundation for a political settlement of the Syrian crisis would exert pressure on both the government and all opposition groups compelling them to stop hostilities and sit down to the negotiating table, the chances of the mission of the UN/LAS special envoy Lakhdar Brahimi would have been much greater," he said.

In the past, Ecuador’s beautiful underdeveloped north coast has been inaccessible to all but the most dedicated explorers. Today, with improved infrastructure and access to the new international airport in Quito, it may only be a matter of time before land prices increase significantly in this region. See the following article from International Living for more on this.
I’ve just clocked over 1,000 miles exploring a stretch of coast where virgin forest carpets undulating hills. It’s dry season, but the canopy is almost luminous green.
Sunlight hits the forest floor like silver swords. Brightly colored butterflies flutter…hummingbirds hover…howler monkeys growl in the distance…
I’m in Ecuador’s north, on this country’s nicest stretch of coast. Until now, this area has been hard to get to. But the infrastructure is improving rapidly. As it does, I expect real estate prices to rise—and rise fast.
This will soon be the closest beach area to the capital, Quito, and to its new international airport. That’s why—a year after I first told International Living readers about this region—I’m covering it again now. The window of opportunity for the biggest profits will start to close over the coming months as the various highways and bridges under construction are finally connected.
Claim up to $26,000 per W2 Employee
- Billions of dollars in funding available
- Funds are available to U.S. Businesses NOW
- This is not a loan. These tax credits do not need to be repaid
Here—between Canoa and the area just north of Pedernales—the water is clear and blue. When the sun shines it looks turquoise. This is an area rich in nature, beauty…and opportunity.
It’s not just Ecuador’s loveliest section of coast; it’s also its most under-developed. On this trip, I took the road from Quito for the first time. On previous visits I flew to Manta and then traveled north by road. But highway improvements made over the past five years mean the road route from the capital is now feasible.
The improved Quito highway is impressive. This used to be a dirt road that served no purpose other than connecting little mountain villages. Carved out of the Andes, stretches of this road are now major engineering feats.
The first two hours of the drive from Quito are incredibly scenic. Just 30 minutes from downtown Quito, you are in an otherworldly, mountain wilderness. There is very little development; just a few viewing points and some small hotels.
Drive time from Quito to this coast will be down from seven hours to three-and-a-half hours once the final stretch of road is complete. This highway links up with the main highway connecting Atacames and Manta.
Right now, crews are busily completing the remaining stretches.
Work is also on schedule to complete the bridge from Bahia de Caraquez to San Vicente by the end of this year. It will be the longest bridge in Ecuador. San Vicente has a shiny new airport terminal…staffed and ready to go. I expect the airlines to announce new flights in and out of there soon.

Midwife who examined Gosport '˜miracle' infant tells jury she had '˜never seen a baby so seriously ill'
A MIDWIFE who was one of the first to deal with a fatally wounded two-week-old baby has told a court she had never seen an infant 'so seriously ill'.
Victoria Brown was a community midwife working at Blake Maternity Centre, in Gosport, when tiny Stanley Davis arrived in a critical condition, Winchester Crown Court heard.
The tot was just 16 days old when he was rushed to the centre by his mother, Roxanne Davis '“Â who is on trial with her ex-partner Samuel Davies, 24, of Mayfield Road, Southampton.
Both areÂ accused of causing or allowing the death of her baby boy '“Â on March 21, 2017.
Stanley was presented to midwives who were shocked by his condition. Unbeknown to them, the newborn had suffered 42 different fractures, including Â one on the right side of his skull which caused a fatal bleed on the brain. He died days later aged just 24 days on March 28, 2017.
Mrs Brown, who has been a midwife for 12 years, told the court: 'He was incredibly floppy. He was white. He was white with a yellowish tone to him.
'His mouth was drooped open. He had no response at all. I have never seen a baby so seriously ill as he was.'
The court heard how Mrs Brown and her colleagues believed the baby was possibly hypoglycaemic or suffering from an infection known as sepsis.Â
They never suspected he had so violently injured while in the care of Davis and Davies.
Davis wept in the dock as Mrs Brown gave her evidence.
Earlier the midwife told the jury how she was the first midwife to deal with Davis, meeting her on August 25, 2016 at the Waterside Medical Centre, in Gosport.
Mrs Brown said at the time Davis was 'very excited' about the birth of her first child, adding: Â 'She was pleased to be pregnant. She was very pleased to be meeting me and really eager to take on health-related advice.
'It was an appointment she never thought she would attend. She was looking forward to her pregnancy.'
The court heard how Davis had discussed her problems with depression and drug use, claiming at the time to not have used cannabis since 2014, Mrs Brown said.
Jurors previously heard Davis and Davies both tested positive for cannabis and cocaine on March 21, 2017.
As the pregnancy had continued, Davis showed signs of becoming 'incredibly tired' with Mrs Brown telling the jury it was 'certainly taking its toll' on the first-time mum.
Mrs Brown also said that during the pregnancy, Davis became increasingly anxious about the health of her baby, worried the youngster was not kicking or moving.
Defending Davis, Katy Thorne QC told the court how the 30-year-old was overjoyed to be a mother, something she suspected she could never have been.
She told the jury Davis had polycystic ovary syndrome, a condition that can affect the chance of women becoming pregnant, Ms Thorne said.Â
'She described it as a miracle, she never thought she would have had a child,' Ms Thorne told the court.
Davis, formerly of Gosport but who now lives in Milton Road, Waterlooville, and Davies both deny causing or allowing the death of Stanley Davis.
Although the pair share similar names, they are not related. Davies is not the baby's biological father.

Final DNP Paper
Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP)
Dr. Laura Barrow
Dr. Ralph Redd, Dr. Marilyn Hepperle
Background: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) affects the lives of approximately 50% of all persons diagnosed with diabetes. Patients who are minorities, residents of rural communities, low income, or non-compliant with treatment, have a higher risk of developing DPN. The long-term effects interfere with the patient’s abilities to carry out activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADLs).
Patients incur debt from medical expenses, depression from the inability to perform self- care, and became withdrawn because of their distorted body image.
Purpose: The purpose of this project was to use the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI) scale to improve patient outcomes by promoting better identification of individuals who need to be referred out to a specialist.
Design Methods: The patients were interviewed and surveyed using the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI). After using the MNSI tool, patients were evaluated for possible referral to podiatry and vascular specialty.
Conclusion: Results demonstrated the use of the MNSI tool improves the screening process of patients diagnosed with diabetes reporting signs and symptoms of DPN.
Implications for Nursing: This project has the potential to improve patient quantality of life, and lower cost to both patient and healthcare providers.

Eduard has produced many different sets of seat belts over the years for many sizes and types of aircraft. Hey also have several different style with the fabric belts and straight photoetch belts. This set is 1/32nd scale photoetch steel with pre-printed color on one side. The printing is top notch and even includes the required stitching on the belts. There are enough lap and shoulder belts for four separate seats. The detailed instructions show attachment to Bf-190 and FW-190 variants. I had a spare seat for the Trumpeter Me-262 and used that for this demonstration (after painting it).
The shoulder belts are simple in that there are no attachments necessary so you can cut them loose and attach them. I bent them to shape and glued them in place. Please take note that they are “handed” in respect that there is a left and right.

Nitrogen (N) is an important nutrient for plant growth and yield production, and rice grown in paddy soil mainly uses ammonium (NH4+) as its N source. Previous studies have shown that N status is tightly connected to plant defense; however, the roles of NH4+ uptake and assimilation in rice sheath blight disease response have not been studied previously. Here, we analyzed the effects of different N sources on plant defense against Rhizoctonia solani. The results indicated that rice plants grown in N-free conditions had higher resistance to sheath blight than those grown under N conditions. In greater detail, rice plants cultured with glutamine as the sole N source were more susceptible to sheath blight disease compared to the groups using NH4+ and nitrate (NO3–) as sole N sources. N deficiency severely inhibited plant growth; therefore, ammonium transporter 1;2 overexpressors (AMT1;2 OXs) were generated to test their growth and defense ability under low N conditions. AMT1;2 OXs increased N use efficiency and exhibited less susceptible symptoms to R. solani and highly induced the expression of PBZ1 compared to the wild-type controls upon infection of R. solani. Furthermore, the glutamine synthetase 1;1 (GS1;1) mutant (gs1;1) was more susceptible to R. solani infection than the wild-type control, and the genetic combination of AMT1;2 OX and gs1;1 revealed that AMT1;2 OX was less susceptible to R. solani and required GS1;1 activity. In addition, cellular NH4+ content was higher in AMT1;2 OX and gs1;1 plants, indicating that NH4+ was not directly controlling plant defense. In conclusion, the present study showed that the activation of NH4+ uptake and assimilation were required for rice resistance against sheath blight disease.

Prorocentrum donghaiense caused large-scale red tides off Chinese coast in recent years. Expressed sequence tag (EST) analysis was carried out for this dinoflagellate in order to identify the genes involved in its proliferation and death. A cDNA library was constructed for P. donghaiense at late exponential growth phase, and 308 groups of EST were generated, which include 36 contigs and 272 singletons. Among 22 groups showed homologies with known genes, 2 matched significantly with caspase and proliferating cell nuclear antigen. Caspase and proliferating cell nuclear antigen are 2 key proteins involved in programmed cell death. Their identification evidenced preliminarily the induction of PCD in aging P. donghaiense. The identified included also calmodulin and protein phosphatase, two proteins involved in diverse cell processes including PCD by binding to or modifying others.
Aegilops sharonensis (Sharon goatgrass) is a valuable source of novel high molecular weight glutenin subunits, resistance to wheat rust, powdery mildew, and insect pests. In this study, we successfully hybridized Ae. sharonensis as the pollen parent to common wheat and obtained backcross derivatives. F1 intergeneric hybrids were verified using morphological observation and cytological and molecular analyses. The phenotypes of the hybrid plants were intermediate between Ae. sharonensis and common wheat. Observations of mitosis in root tip cells and meiosis in pollen mother cells revealed that the F1 hybrids possessed 28 chromosomes. Chromosome pairing at metaphase I of the pollen mother cells in the F1 hybrid plants was low, and the meiotic configuration was 25.94 I + 1.03 II (rod). Two pairs of primers were screened out from 150 simple sequence repeat markers, and primer WMC634 was used to identified the presence of the genome of Ae. sharonensis. Sequencing results showed that the F1 hybrids contained the Ssh genome of Ae. sharonensis. The sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis profile showed that the alien high molecular weight glutenin subunits of Ae. sharonensis were transferred into the F1 and backcross derivatives. The new wheat-Ae. sharonensis derivatives that we have produced will be valuable for increasing resistance to various diseases of wheat and for improving the quality of bread wheat.

In this study, we employed electron microscopy to investigate the cytogenetic and embryologic mechanisms of parthenogenesis induced in the 1BL/1RS male sterile lines of wheat. Analysis of the root tips and acid polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicated that all of the male sterile lines and their maintainer lines were 1BL/1RS translocation lines, whereas the restorer lines were non-1BL/1RS translocation lines. Furthermore, the chromosomes of 1BL/1RS wheat lines with T. aestivum cytoplasm and Aegilops cytoplasm (include Ae. kotschyi, Ae. ventricosa, Ae. variabilis) paired abnormally at different rates during meiotic metaphase I (MMI). The translocated segment size of the 1RS chromosome and the specific nuclear–alloplasm interaction impaired the pairing of homologous chromosome in the background of the specific Aegilops cytoplasm at MMI. In addition, the frequency of abnormal chromosomal pairing was directly affected by the frequency of haploid production induced by parthenogenesis. The results of this study provide significant insights into the mechanism of parthenogenesis, which is probably due to the abnormal fertilization of synergid cells in alloplasmic 1BL/1RS wheat.

Seven Glu-A1m allelic variants of the Glu-A1mx genes in Triticum monococcum ssp. monococcum, designated as 1Ax2.1a, 1Ax2.1b, 1Ax2.1c, 1Ax2.1d, 1Ax2.1e, 1Ax2.1f, and 1Ax2.1g were characterized. Their authenticity was confirmed by successful expression of the coding regions in E. coli, and except for the 1Ax2.1a with the presence of internal stop codons at position of 313 aa, all correspond to the subunit in seeds. However, all the active six genes had a same DNA size although their encoding subunits showed different molecular weight. Our study indicated that amino acid residue substitutions rather than previously frequently reported insertions/deletions played an important role on the subunit evolution of these Glu-A1mx alleles. Since variation in the Glu-A1x locus in common wheat is rare, these novel genes at the Glu-A1mx can be used as candidate genes for further wheat quality improvement.

The mechanism of the fact that Mn deficiency damages the photosynthesis of plants is not yet fully understood. The main aim of the study was to determine Mn deficiency effects in photophosphorylation and key enzymes of CO
assimilation of maize. Maize plants were cultivated in Hoagland’s solution. They were subjected to Mn deficiency and to Mn administered in the Mn-deficient Hoagland’s media. The results showed that Mn deficiency was found to cause extensive declines in plant weight and chlorophyll a content, electron transport and oxygen-evolving rate, photophosphorylation rate, activities of Mg
-ATPase, Rubisco and Rubisco activase, and mRNA expressions of Rubisco and Rubisco activase of maize, but it only slightly affected chlorophyll b and carotenoid formation. However, Mn addition decreased the inhibition of the photosynthesis in maize caused by Mn deficiency.
Premature termination codons (PTCs) are an important reason for the silence of highmolecular- weight glutenin subunits in Triticum species. Although the Glu-A1y gene is generally silent in common wheat, we here isolated an expressed Glu-A1y gene containing a PTC, named 1Ay8.3, from Triticum monococcum ssp. monococcum (AmAm, 2n = 2x = 14). Despite the presence of a PTC (TAG) at base pair positions 1879–1881 in the C-terminal coding region, this did not obviously affect 1Ay8.3 expression in seeds. This was demonstrated by the fact that when the PTC TAG of 1Ay8.3 was mutated to the CAG codon, the mutant in Escherichia coli bacterial cells expressed the same subunit as in the seeds. However, in E. coli, 1Ay8.3 containing the PTC expressed a truncated protein with faster electrophoretic mobility than that in seeds, suggesting that PTC translation termination suppression probably occurs in vivo (seeds) but not in vitro (E. coli). This may represent one of only a few reports on the PTC termination suppression phenomenon in genes.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of maternal lead exposure on the learning and memory ability and expression of tau protein phosphorylation (P-tau) and beta amyloid protein (Aβ) in hippocampus of mice offspring. Pb exposure initiated from beginning of gestation to weaning. Pb acetate administered in drinking solutions was dissolved in distilled deionized water at the concentrations of 0.1%, 0.5% and 1% groups. On the 21
of postnatal day, the learning and memory ability of the mouse pups was tested by Water Maze test and the Pb levels in blood and hippocampus of the offspring were also determined. The expression of P-tau and Aβ in hippocampus was measured by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. The Pb levels in blood and hippocampus of all exposure groups were significantly higher than that of the control group (
< 0.05). In Water Maze test, the performances of 0.5% and 1% groups were worse than that of the control group (
< 0.05). The expression of P-tau and Aβ was increased in Pb exposed groups than that of the control group (
< 0.05). Tau hyper-phosphorylation and Aβ increase in the hippocampus of pups may contribute to the impairment of learning and memory associated with maternal Pb exposure.

Shewanella putrefaciens supernatant was found to increase the virulence factors of Vibrio parahaemolyticus by eﬃciently degrading its acylhomoserine lactone (AHL). To further reveal the regulation mechanism and its key degrading enzyme, a potential AHL-degrading enzyme acylase (Aac) from S. putrefaciens was cloned, and the inﬂuences of temperature, pH, protein modiﬁers, and metals on Aac were tested. Aac was signiﬁcantly inﬂuenced by temperature and pH, and exhibited the highest AHL-degrading activity at temperatures of 37 °C and pH of 8. Mg2+ and Fe2+ can further increase the AHL-degrading activity. 10 mM EDTA inhibited its activity possibly by chelating the co-factors (metals) required for Aac activity. Tryptophan and arginine were identiﬁed as key components for Aac activity that are critical to its AHL-degrading activity. This study provides useful information on Aac and for V. parahaemolyticus control.

Waxy wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is grown throughout the world for its specific quality. Fertilization and planting density are two crucial factors that affect waxy wheat yield and photosynthetic capacity. The objectives of the research were to determine the effects of fertilization and planting density on photosynthetic characteristics, yield, and yield components of waxy wheat, including Yield, SSR, TGW, GNPP, GWPP, PH, HI, Pn, Gs, Ci, E and WUE using the method of field experiment, in which there were three levels (150, 300, and 450 kg ha−1) of fertilizer application rate and three levels (1.35, 1.8, and 2.25 × 106 plants ha−1) of planting density. The results suggested that photosynthetic characteristics, yield, and yield components had close relationship with fertilization levels and planting density. Under the same plant density, with the increase of fertilization, Yield, SSR, TGW, GNPP, GWPP, HI, Pn, Gs, E and WUE increased and then decreased, PH increased, but Ci decreased. Under the same fertilization, with the increase of plant density, Yield, SSR, TGW, GNPP, GWPP, HI increased and then decreased, PH, Pn, Gs and E increased, PH and WUE declined. The results also showed that F2 (300 kg ha−1) and D2 (1.8 × 106 plants ha−1) was a better match in this experiment, which could obtain a higher grain yield 4961.61 kg ha−1. Consequently, this combination of fertilizer application rate and plant densities are useful to get high yield of waxy wheat.

He hoped it would, but never thought his plea for an uplifting mural on his building, the North Greenwood Rec Center, would prove fruitful.
Turns out, it was a perfect fit.
“He cares about his kids. He cares about his community,” said Tracy West, tournament director for the Valspar Championship.
West, along with the Valspar paint company, asked the community to nominate buildings in need of a colorful, uplifting mural. Young’s video caught their attention.
A local muralist, Zulu Painter, spent a few days completing the piece, which was unveiled Friday morning on the side of the North Greenwood Rec Center in Clearwater.
“He hit the nail,” said Young, who has worked with kids at the facility there for four years. “I told him this won’t be the last time you do some artwork here.”
This was all part of Valspar’s comeback campaign to get “Back To Bright.”
“Things are getting better and getting better in our communities,” said West. “When the tournament was canceled last year, we had already been built. We were ready to go.”
PGA Tour golf returns to Palm Harbor next week with the Valspar Championship. Many of the Top-50 ranked players in the world will participate, including Dustin Johnson and Justin Thomas, the Tour’s top two ranked players respectively.
As for the mural, it certainly hit the mark.
“COVID really stopped the community aspect from happening so we wanted to promote that,” said Zulu, who incorporated a child dreaming of other children participating in fun activities in his artwork.
“We’re back to bright!”
“It changes your mood before you walk in the building. I’ve had a few bad days coming in. Didn’t start off right. That mural makes you feel different,” the father of four said. “It’s like, okay, now I have to kick it into another gear. Your day doesn’t have to finish where it started and where you are in life doesn’t always have to be your future.”
West says “it made all the sense in the world” that the mural wound up in Clearwater.
The Valspar Championship, in partnership with Copperhead Charities, has been very involved in community outreach in Clearwater, the city neighboring the course. The tournament has been involved in building multiple homes in the city through Habitat For Humanity over the years.
Valspar got many community suggestions, but Greenwood was the unanimous choice. The tournament will also be surprising one player at next week’s event with a mural in a location of his choice.
Tickets are only available online for the 2021 Valspar Championship.

It is nice to be really home in my real house with my real stamps. I sat down and made this card today after the girls left for there first day of school with my new stamps. I also used a new product that I bought in Germany. The middle of this flower was made by a bunch of beautiful cut paper flowers I bought in a hobby store in Germany. They are plain white, so you can do anything you want with them, and saves me from a LOT of cutting! I will post a picture of how they come later. So…more first day of school pics and that later, but it is good to be back! I have missed this little blog!

A security analyst, Adam Bona, says the government’s decision to deploy police officers to guard Members of Parliament till the end of the year is totally needless.
He says the state must rather invest in the capacity of the country’s security agencies in intelligence gathering in other for them to be ahead of criminals.
His comment follows an announcement by the Interior Minister, Ambrose Dery, that 200 police officers have been deployed to protect MPs.
The number is expected to rise to about 800 later to operate under the Parliamentary Protection Unit.
This is in response to the killing of the Mfantseman MP, Ekow Hayford in a robbery attack.
Mr. Bona in a Citi News interview said government’s decision wasn’t well thought through.
“Obviously, this is not a step in the right direction. It is needless, we just do not put police escort out there. It is a knee-jerk reaction, what science went into the decision? If you do not have a security intelligence unit, there is nothing you can do. You can put 1,000 security or military officers around an MP, and they could be ambushed because they lack intelligence.”
The decision has been criticized by some Ghanaians, civil society groups and security analysts.

The Sudan has oil for sale; it sells oil primarily to Asian countries, among them China. What if, instead, the sales went to Europe? Or to the U.S.?
In Olen Steinhauer’s espionage tale The Tourist (book 1 of the Milo Series) a mysterious free-agent called The Tiger has traveled to Khartoum to assassinate a Sudanese official. The Tiger has also carried out several other seemingly unrelated assassinations that may be aimed at interrupting Sudan/China relations. The CIA is ordered to put Tiger out of action and get to the bottom of this plot. Undercover field agent Milo Weaver is assigned this dangerous and difficult task. It may mean the end of his career.
The novel begins with a flashback. It is Monday, September 10, 2001; Milo is ducking a hail of bullets as he protects a Dutch politician from an assassination attempt. (Is it Tiger’s work?) Milo’s phone sounds its ring-tone from the floor where it had fallen along with Milo and the Dutch woman. It was Milo’s boss at the CIA:
“What?” [Milo answered]
“Riverun, past Eve,” Tom Granger said.
“And Adam’s.” [Replied Milo.]
Learned Grainger had created go-codes out of the first lines of novels. His own Joycean code told him he was needed someplace new.
The quote is the famous first line of Joyce’s Finnegan’s Wake, which begins with a sentence fragment (and no capital letter):
riverrun, past Eve and Adam’s, from swerve of shore to bend
of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to
Howth Castle and Environs.
The last line of Finnegan’s Wake is the missing first part of the opening line:
Given! A way a lone a last a loved a long the
That is a mouthful for an agent to remember when an assassin is shooting at you.
Milo, whose cover name is Charles Alexander, works for an ultra-secret group within the CIA that is called the Travel Agency. Using that same travel metaphor, Milo is a Tourist. He travels the world disguised as a tourist, but, unlike the usual tourist and like his British cousin James Bond, Milo is licensed to kill.
As the flashback continues: Milo’s new assignment takes him to Slovenia to trace down some missing money. Unfortunately, the job turns out badly; Milo is shot and it seems that his days as a Tourist are over.
The story picks up years later, Milo is working at a desk in the Travel Agency. It’s July 19, 2007 and a report comes across Milo’s desk at the Travel Agency that the notorious Tiger is traveling in the US under the name of Ross. Milo decides to track this down himself. (He can’t resist going back into the field.) Two weeks later, police arrest Roth in Tennessee and Milo races to the site. Under interrogation, Ross/Tiger reveals that who he works for. Milo is stunned.
The author adds one more element to complete the novel’s lengthy set-up: Ross, alias the Tiger, dies mysteriously while in custody and Milo is blamed. Homeland Security agent Angela Yates goes to arrest Milo, but he is warned and goes undercover. His flight convinces Yates that he is guilty. She will do all she can to bring him in, and she is a formidable investigative agent.
Milo maintains his innocence, but he convinces no one, not even his wife Tina. He will have to uncover the truth to clear his name and the truth must lie within the Travel Agency. Can Milo crack the Travel Agency and clear his name? Help will come from unexpected corners, but the author keeps the reader guessing until the end of the story.
This is a provocative novel with convincing characterizations of Milo, his wife Tina, Milo’s boss Tom and several of the Tourists that Milo works with. The author Steinhauer also gives us a full development of Homeland Security agent Yates. Surely some of these characters will continue into the next novel in the series.
The Tourist a presents the reader with a bewildering array of intrigues, plots and counter-plots. Be assured, however, that Steinhauer will not leave you dangling. Of course, it is understood by all readers that at the end of the novel Milo will be standing, even if battered, so that he can star in the next volume of the series.
Macmillan has this to say about The Nearest Exit:
Faced with the potential dissolution of his marriage and the end of his quiet, settled life, reluctant spy Milo Weaver has no choice but to return to his old job as a “tourist” for the CIA. But before he can get back to the dirty work of espionage, he has to prove his worth to his new bosses.
MacMillian has this to say about An American Spy:
Following on the heels of these two spectacular novels comes An American Spy, Olen Steinhauer’s most stunning thriller yet. With only a handful of “tourists”—CIA-trained assassins—left, Weaver would like to move on and use this as an opportunity to regain a normal life, a life focused on his family. His former boss in the CIA, Alan Drummond, can’t let it go. When Alan uses one of Milo’s compromised aliases to travel to London and then disappears, calling all kinds of attention to his actions, Milo can’t help but go in search of him.
Olen Steinhouer has a web page; he praised the following review:
An American Spy | Bookreporter.com
The author’s comment on the review:
And from the Department of Good News, a wonderful take on An American Spy by Joe Hartlaub at Bookreporter. It’s a very generous review, and very perceptive, particularly when he says, “Steinhauer must have driven himself crazy writing An American Spy.” That’s pretty close to the truth, and explains why I’ve put Milo on the shelf for the moment…
The Milo Series may be setting a new standard for hard-hitting spy-adventure tales. I think so.
Week 15-2012: The Tourist (Milo Series #1), Olen Steinhauer (2009).

Right from the Stone Age, the dawn of humanity, crops had been an essential part of a human’s diet- when humans began to harvest food rather than to hunt it, where both luck and skill was required to obtain food. Crops proved to be a more dependable source of nourishment. However, after years and years of sowing and harvesting crops, the soil in which they were planted in began to lose its fertility, becoming less and less productive as the years went by, and the food supply gradually began shrinking. It was eventually discovered that the availability of nitrates in the soil limited the crop’s growth and farmers tried many methods to nourish the soil with nitrates, but to no avail. (This story detailed in the history section)
However, sometime in the early 20th century, two German scientists, Carl Bosch and Fritz Haber developed a process known today as the Haber-Bosch or Haber process, used to produce ammonia, with the use of Nitrogen from the air and Hydrogen. The arrival of this process solved a teething problem facing humanity at that point in time; food. Starvation was rampant all over the world, as the food supply couldn’t keep up with population growth, many died of hunger during that time. This ammonia produced was reacted to form nitrates, which were spread on fields and used as fertilizer to enrich soil, heavily boosting crop growth, solving the world’s starvation problems to date; this process has remained virtually unchanged, and 100 years later, is still central to the process of crop cultivation and food production.
How does it work? Why are these fertilizers so important to us? How do they benefit plants? Could any problems be caused by them? – Do they pose any threat? All the answers to your questions are just a few clicks away.
Please make yourself familiar with the Haber Bosch Process by viewing the video embedded below courtesy for the BBC network, before diving into my in-depth explanation of the process.


A former Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola has openly confirmed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Osun State has been factionalized.
The Minister of Interior revealed on Friday while addressing his supporters in Ilesa during an event organized for the commissioning of the Digital Nigeria Centre (DNC) that there are two factions of the party in Osun.
Aregbesola went ahead to openly declare that he belongs to the faction identified as The Osun Progressives (TOP) led by Rasaq Salinsile.
Naija News understands it was the TOP group that recently called on the incumbent Osun State Governor, Gboyega Oyetola to resign from the National Caretaker and Extraordinary National Convention Planning Committee of the APC.
The former Governor who spoke in Yoruba language while addressing the gathering said: “For those in doubt, Osun APC is divided. We have APC, Rauf Aregbesola’s faction which is chaired by Hon Razaq Salinsile and the other.
“Everybody is doing his or her own, later, we will renegotiate, we will rearrange everything. The caucus that produced our faction is called The Osun Progressives (TOP) chaired by Elder Lowo Adebiyi.
“Those people who are doubting whether I am part of TOP or not should listen up, I belong to TOP wholeheartedly.”
Speaking further, Aregbesola told the Commissioner of Police in the State, Olawale Olokode who was also at the event to disregard reports that he is the one sponsoring violence in the state.
He urged the Police boss to remain objective in the discharge of his duties, saying he (Aregbesola) is a son of the soil and won’t engage in anything to promote evil in the state.
“I am happy that the Commissioner of Police is here. There are a lot of lies that are flying around, I steered the affairs of this state for 8 years when I was there, you can check your record, there was no trouble, we do the job with the whole of our body to record the feat for 8 years. I use to sleep for 2 to 3 hours every day. I did not only do the job with my heart but my whole body” said the Minister.
“I am a son of the soil, we cannot work to scuttle the state. My parents are from this state. If the police follow the dictate of their job without being biased, they will record success,” he added.

Monte Leon National Park
In 2002, Argentina gained a spectacular new national park: Monte Leon, the nation's second coastal national park, a 165,000-acre protected area in Santa Cruz Province. Conservacion Patagonica was to thank. This beautiful and biologically rich park serves as a testament to the effectiveness of public-private collaboration and the power of private philanthropy to secure lasting conservation results.
Monte Leon National Park, previously an enormous sheep ranch, includes twenty-five miles of ocean frontage on the southern Atlantic coast. It harbours vast colonies of birds—including Magellanic penguins—and marine mammals along the coast. Southern right whales cruise by on their annual migrations. Inland, the landscape is arid grassland typical of the Patagonian steppe. Its characteristic wildlife includes guanaco, puma, rhea, grey fox, and various small mammals and birds. After decades of intensive grazing by domestic livestock, the grasslands are recovering well. As a national park, this spectacular landscape continues to regain wildness; it will forever offer an experience to visitors similar to what Charles Darwin found when he and the crew of the HMS Beagle explored the area in 1834.
The property formerly belonged to the Brauns, one of the most prominent landowning and ranching families in Patagonia history. The Argentine national parks administration had long sought to add this area to the parks system because of its wildlife and scenic values, but had made little progress during years of off-and-on negotiation with the Braun family.
Dr. Francisco Erize, a former director of the Argentine national parks administration, recommended the conservation project to Conservacion Patagonica, which immediately became engaged in the effort. Conservacion Patagonica developed conservation plans and secured the funds for an Argentine NGO, Fundacion Vida Silvestre Argentina, to formally acquire the property in 2000 and transfer title to the national parks administration. To expand the park, Conservacion Patagonica acquired the adjacent ranch Dor-Aike in 2002 and donated 7,400 acres of native grasslands to the park administration.
To establish the national park, the property needed to be formally ceded from provincial to federal jurisdiction, which required unanimous support of the provincial legislature, a difficult feat. However, Conservacion Patagonica and its partners managed to buy the land and convey it to public ownership while government allies succeeded in expediting the transition to federal jurisdiction. In a remarkably short time span, the new park came into being.
Since one branch of the Braun family, Silvia Braun and her husband Juan Kuriger, had their family house and small tourist hosteria at Monte Leon, kept the area around their house out of the donation. Conservacion Patagonica has provided them with a lifetime lease for as long as they wish to operate the hotel. They continue to operate this beautiful and remote hosteria, open to guests year-round. Contact them at email@example.com or 54-11-4621-4780 for more information.

Growth of Automotive Fifth Wheel Coupling Market Projected to Amplify During 2017 - 2027
The main function of a fifth wheel coupling is providing a link between the towing truck and semi-trailer, leading tracker, dolly or tractor unit. Fifth wheel coupling configuration is used in many camping trailers, which necessitates the coupling to be mounted in the rear of a pick-up truck as a towing vehicle, thus fifth wheel is also represented as campers in the North America region. Fifth wheel coupling consist of a 3 ½ or 2 inch diameter (88.9 or 50.8 mm) vertical steel pin kingpin expanding from the lower part to the front of the trailer. The appearance of a fifth wheel coupling is like a horse-shoe shaped coupling and it is denoted as fifth wheel on the back of a trailer or towing vehicle.
The fifth wheel coupling allows the trailers to slip into the fifth wheel and remain locked into it. Fifth wheel coupling is one of the most reliable towing unit if they are serviced and maintained on time-to-time basis. The connection of the kingpin with the fifth wheel coupling is the only way for the interconnection between the trailer and the vehicle, there is no supplementary device or safety system used. Pintle hooks and couplers are equipped with safety chain so that the trailer remains connected to the fifth wheel while driving on the road. Additionally, Trailer to trailer inter-connection can also be made by using fifth wheels.

You might have guessed. I keep talking about stressful days, times at work and my love for work for a while. On the other hand I am talking about how much I love it. Contradiction? NO!
I love what I am doing and how much I am doing of it but I often get carried away and forget all about work life balance.
But, I noticed that some days stress can get to me. Some days more than others and I thought, what is missing in my life that has been there before?
Overall, it comes down to my hobbies being what I love most: work at my main job and cb consulting, working on my blogs and websites.
Excercis: yes, I have neglected it too long and have to get back to a routine. And, I will! Not only did I start Tai Chi, but I also started going back to the gym. First once a week and I want to increase it to twice a week. As they say, the ant cannot eat the elephant in a day, it needs to have a bite at a time. Be patient Volker!
My friend at Balamadana says: Volker, I have known you for years and I believe you have all the right intentions but something gets in your way. You need to change and you will…. – and, he is right. It is about time.
Enough of a self analysis. I am neither stressed nor strained but I believe I sometimes let things get to me and do not switch off as easily as I used to. In uni for instance I had my hour exercise a day plus was less bothered about things. Guess that is what people say about student life, don’t they.
So, in this post about “managing stress” I want to see what stress is. Is there such a thing? What about positive or negative stress. Most of mine is positive but if you ask a doctor it still has the same effect on your body.
Oxford Brookes University published a nice website explaining:
Adaptive stress helps us rise to life’s challenges. Adrenaline, nor-adrenaline and glucose flow into our blood: we get a buzz of energy and feel alert, focused, and creative. Negative stress occurs when our ability to cope with life’s demands crumbles. If we don’t break down the stress chemicals (e.g. through physical activity) they stay in the blood, preventing us from relaxing. Eventually this results in a permanent state of stress. That initial buzz turns to worry, irritability or panic. Challenges become threats; we doubt our ability to do even simple things and problems appear insurmountable.
Wow, that sounds like a downward spiral. There are so many things that cause stress. I remember me not being able to cope with high speed drives after the experience of a car accident. And sometimes I cannot stand loud noise or when our neighbours used to be noisy at 4 am in the morning, that really caused stress.
There are 3 factors how stress affects us:
Physically: our heart beats faster, our blood pressure increases, muscle tension, butterflies in your stomach and faster breathing…..
Mentally:you might start having “weirder thoughts” or cannot “think straight”. Worrying is probably the main effect, and negative thoughts.
Emotionally: Fear, frustration, impatience, anxiety, insecurity and depression.
So how do we cope best with stress? I write about that the next time.

A North Staffordshire resident has been told they could face a fine if they "cry at home" following a complaint by a neighbour.
A freedom of information request submitted by The Sun found that a Community Protection Notice was issued to a resident in Newcastle by a neighbour not to create any "wailing, jabbering, crying and hammering on the wall type noises" under new rules designed to protect people's quality of life.
However, under the new rules, it's not just crying that can land you with a fine - you also risk being fined for arguing, moving furniture, wall banging and lots more.
What's more, the penalty for breaching it is a £100 on the spot fine, rising to a maximum of £2,500 if you dispute it in court and lose, reports The Mirror.
Community Protection Notices explained
The rules fall under the 2014 Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act, introduced when Theresa May was home secretary.
They can be issued by local authorities, the police - including police community support officers - and private registered providers of social housing, charitable housing trusts or housing action trusts that have been designated by a local authority in its area
To get hit with one your behaviour needs to be:
- Having a detrimental effect on the quality of life of others nearby
- Be persistent or continuing in nature, and
- Be unreasonable
That's where the restriction ends.
As well as being told to stop doing something, you can also be told to START doing things.
For example, a number of councils have used the orders to crack down on dog walkers that don't carry enough poo bags with them, while other people have been fined for having their bins out for too long.
Meanwhile, other people have taken a stern line when it comes to music being played too loudly in cars.
The good news is anyone complaining needs to send a written warning to stop or start doing specified things - or take reasonable steps to achieve specified results - before the authorities can issue you a penalty.
For example, the order issued against crying in Newcastle has so far not resulted in a fine.
But that written warning doesn't have a fixed time scale on it - for example you might only have minutes to turn off your music, or weeks to clean your front garden.
Can you contest them?
You can appeal Community Protection Notices to a magistrates’ court - but have to comply with it in the interim if you're told to stop doing something.
Grounds for appeal include that the thing being complained:
- didn't happen
- doesn't actually affect local people's quality of life
- isn't a persistent or continuing nature
- is not unreasonable
- or is not something you can reasonably be expected to control or affect
You can also complain if the requirements in the notice - or any of the periods it covers - are unreasonable or if there is a material defect or error in, or connected to, the notice.
You also can appeal if you think it was issued to the wrong person.
Appeals must be made within 21 days of being issued with the notice.
Courts have the power to either cancel the notice or change it - as well as dismiss your appeal.

“In Cold Blood” has been described as ground-breaking, a book that opened the doors to the true crime world and ushered in a sensational era of real American horror stories. I’m thrilled to have read it, and found the questions it left behind are just as captivating as the parallel tales it wove together.
Truman Capote’s account of the murder of the Clutter family in small town Kansas in the late 1940s is truly chilling. While I have not seen either film based on his book (the critically acclaimed “Capote,” which focuses on the author himself and the research he conducted while writing “In Cold Blood” or the same-named movie, which starred Richard Blake), I had certainly heard of the famous book. The style is fascinating – all four members of the Clutter family are described, going throughout their day, interacting with friends and loved ones, while the reader is constantly reminded that they are in their last day on earth. We are similarly introduced to other people living in town, and to the murderers, though we cannot know their relationship to the family, because it’s not explained until much, much later.
The killing occurs in excruciating detail. The small, wholesome town is thrown into chaos. The murderers escape and head to Mexico. And, maddeningly, we still don’t know the motive.
Capote sets the scene with amazing detail, for instance, entire conversations between business people in Holcomb and nearby Garden City are recounted. So, how did our faithful narrator bring these scenes to life? That is where the book, and the method, make you wonder.
It’s natural to think that, in order to paint the complete portrait of the Clutter family (and all of the characters, for that matter), Capote took some liberties with dialogue. But how do we connect those liberties with a TRUE crime book? Did Capote have an agenda? There are allegations that Capote was way too involved with Hickock and Smith, the murderers, and that he may have even had a relationship with Smith that extended beyond research.
Smith and Hickock’s lives are examined in detail, from their childhoods to their criminal pursuits. We hear what transpired in the six weeks between the Clutter murders and the killers’ apprehension, we are flies on the wall during their interrogations, we inhabit Death Row with them, and we are present for their hangings. Over the entire course of justice being served, there is a pall – the “why,” once answered, is futile.
What I found downright fascinating was not the bloody details, or the down-home town being terrified. It was that I knew who died, and who killed them, and that they were brought to justice.. and there was still a compulsion to read. There was still a mystery, a driving force. That force the sheer story-telling skill of Capote – the true star of the book.

So, I decided to look up some Japanese pop groups. Thinking perhaps this will help me with my Japanese study.
But now I’m OBSESSED with this J-Pop group.
FAKY. Especially this song, CANDY.
Their music video can be found here on YouTube:
Even if pop music isn’t your thing, you have to admit that this song could easily become addictive.
But, whatever language you’re learning, music is a great way to learn Japanese in a passive way. It’s always exciting to me when I start to recognize words in the song and able to translate them.

Mariner 8 was launched on May 8, 1971 and Mariner 9 was launched on May 30, 1971. It was third in the history or series of Mariner on Mars. These both were also sent by NASA as the other one in series of Mariners. Mariner 8 was failed during the launch and did not get success in staying in orbit but Mariner 9 is the first artificial satellite and it started orbiting in an orbit, where it stayed for almost a year.
Mariner 9 upon arrival faced a dust storm and it delayed the spacecraft in obtaining the data. The spacecraft waited for a long until the dust settled down and then it started working. Although it took a time to get a data but after storm the view was clearer as it was required by the spacecraft. It brought about first ever clear and closer view of Martian Moons, Deimos and Phobos. It was successful in studying the density and gravity of planet. It brought about approximately thousands of photos and was successful in launching.

KNITWEAR PRODUCT QUALITY ANALYSIS AND DEVELOPMENT OF SPC IMPLEMENTATION PLAN Tajammal Hussain
Institute of Quality and Technology Management
University of the Punjab, Lahore
Department of Mathematical Sciences
COMSATS Institute of Information Technology
Defence Road, Off-Raiwind Road, Lahore.
Statistical process control (SPC) is a powerful technique which knitwear industry can use in its pursuit of continuous effort to achieve sustainable and compatible garments quality at optimum cost reducing the magnitude of nonconforming garments in continuous mode of production. In this paper scientific investigation highlights the need for implementation of SPC to knitwear industry by exploring the nature of defects, which cause cost of quality to raise an intolerable level taking away the competitive edge of industry from its competitors in international market. It is scientifically observed that these defects occurring in garments manufacturing, in some extent, are overlapping and these overlapping are highlighted in three major factors. Further, it illustrates some prerequisites to successful implementation of SPC and a comprehensive framework for the introduction and application of SPC program in knitwear industry, to control the over all process.
Key words. Statistical process control, quality, Factor Analysis, inspection and prevention models
Pakistan Knitwear industry is renowned and poised for victory and rapid progress in the ever-hot competition international market, which is conceived and appreciated by the statistical facts and figures. Although, Being one of the largest cotton producer and very economical and easily available workforce, Pakistan has competitive advantage over rest of its rivals in international market that can lead it to excel the opportunities which are exposed by the concept of free boarder trade among the world, Pakistan is facing a severe challenge from its big market rivals like China, India and Bangladesh. The major problems experienced by the industry are lack of quality adoptability and strive to achieve the stable and customer oriented quality product without incurring too much appraisal and failure costs. These big threats to industry are just because of quality variation controlling and prevention methods that are causing a rejection rate to rise from 5 % to 10%. Statistical process control (SPC) is an integral part of monitoring, managing, maintaining and improving the performance of a process (either manufacturing or service) through the effective use of statistical methods. In many organizations today, SPC initiatives fail to perform adequately due to the lack of understanding of the technique and its applicability within the organization. It is recognized that failure to operate SPC effectively may result in increased Product recalls, product rework, scrap rate, customer complaints, and warranty costs and decreased product margin, productivity, market share, etc. (Little, 2001). The lack of SPC success in some companies may be related to the adoption of a wrong methodology (Ribeiro and Cabral, 1999). Too often organizations look at "the control chart" as the only approach to handle issues and this will not work (Xie and Goh, 1999).The successful application of SPC rather requires a blend of planning skills, engineering skills, management skills, statistical skills and communication skills (Antony, 2000).
2. Inspection-based quality control vs. prevention-based quality control The traditional approach to manufacturing is to rely on production to make the product and on quality control to inspect the product and screen out items not meeting specifications. This involves a strategy of detection or Inspection. Inspection is an activity, which is often expensive, unreliable and provides very little information as to...
