Portrait Of Britain Volume 3
In collaboration withÂ 1854 Media/British Journal of Photography
Introduced by David Olusoga
The Black Lives Matter movement and Covid-19 have brought a tidal wave of change to Britain. These 200 portraits and accompanying stories, full of hope and humanity, capture the individuals that make up the countryâ€™s collective resilience.
'This collection of photographs is a reminder of what we have been missing and of the power of looking into the faces of those with whom we share our nation.'Â -Â David Olusoga, from the introductionÂ

A recent study by researchers from Boston University and Abraxis LLC found significant amounts of glyphosates in a food that you wouldn’t necessarily expect: honey.
Fructose, commonly called fruit sugar, is a simple sugar found in honey, tree fruits, berries, and melons. But don’t be fooled into thinking fructose on a label means you are eating fruit sugar. Pure crystalline fructose comes from two sources: corn or sucrose (table sugar). Corn starch is processed to release fructose. Sucrose (table sugar) is enzymatically hydrolyzed to separate into glucose and fructose. Crystalline fructose is pure fructose from one of these two sources.

The next meeting of the Youngstown Area Weavers is Monday September 13 at 11 am in the Colonial Inn on the Canfield Fairgrounds.
It is the picnic, bring a covered dish to share.
For the project, worsted weight yarn is recommended for a nicely woven star (the gold one). DK weight is ok (the blue one), but leaves holes when the squares are sewn together. So bring a pin loom and yarn to weave with or 6 squares ready to assemble. Plus the yarn for sewing together, a tapestry needle to fit the yarn, a decorative button if desired and scissors. Instructions and Poly-fill will be provided.
Because of the timing of the Fair this year, Youngstown Area Weavers Guild will meet Monday September 13 at the Colonial Inn on the Canfield Fairgrounds at 11:00. It is our luncheon / picnic…the Guild is providing chicken. Bring a covered dish to share.
Also bring your weavette or pin loom and yarn – Sheila will be sharing the pattern for a cute star ornament. Show & tell your dyed yarn from the summer dye day and what you entered in the Fair.
Youngstown Area Weavers will meet on July 14 at 10 am in The Colonial Inn on the Canfield Fairgrounds. We will be doing warp painting on plant based fiber only. Sheila will be bringing a selection of colors, if you want a certain color or have any questions, contact her.
Here is what to bring:
Pre-wound warp tied loosely, ends can be tied tight – soak the warp in warm water with a couple drops of dish soap for about 1 hour. Squeeze out excess water and bring to the meeting wet.
1″ & 2″ foam brushes
tubs or buckets to hold wet warp
plastic table covering or drop cloth
Canfield Fair Demo: The Guilds will be demonstrating on Thursday, September 2 starting at 10 am. Marilyn can only get 4 free tickets, so speak up by the July meeting to claim one. Please consider participating for a few hours even if you don’t get a free ticket…
For those of you with little ones, this came through the website…
Greetings from Bend, Oregon. I’m excited to share a fun fiber animal book for kids. The children’s book I wrote with my daughter, is now available both as a hardcover and an ebook (apple ibook). It’s about our first little alpacas coming to live at our ranch. We tried to educate a bit about fleece. As much as you can in a little kid picture book.

The Design Veronique Advantage
Our luxury quality, strong and breathable fabric, and incredible suport has made us the market leader in the Americas, Europe, and Asia. And that’s just the beginning.
Super duper soft! This is a fantastic bra and reasonably priced! I have one in each color. I will wear this even after my recovery.
I found this bra to be one of the most comfortable bras I've ever worn. The wide band prevents it from rolling or rising up under the breast. The fabric is soft and the straps easily adjust. So much better than the surgical bra they gave me at the hospital. I will wear it even after I heal.

That chill in the air isn’t just the sense of impending winter. It’s time for another featured author to step into the Bloodlight!
Throughout December, we will be shining the spotlight on one author, through a series of reviews, interviews and special features.
One cannot discuss the Canadian horror scene without making mention of Ian Rogers. From his impressive and highly-touted Felix Renn chapbook series to his dabblings in the Weird West, Ian is quickly making a name for himself.
In this interview, Ian shares the inside scoop on this “supernoirtural” series, as well as his other literary offerings.
Can you start off by telling everyone about your background – when you first started writing and what you write.
I started writing seriously in my teens, when I realized my dream of becoming Canada’s answer to David Lynch wasn’t going to happen.
I tend to write a bit of everything. Probably because I read a bit of everything. I’ve written comedies (“Camp Zombie”), supernatural detective stories (the Felix Renn series), and Weird Westerns (Deadstock). I’d probably write a romance novel if I had a good enough idea for one.
For those who have not yet read your chapbooks, how would you describe the stories and in what way do they differ from one another?
I think of the Felix Renn stories as supernatural noirs, or “supernoirturals” if I may use a cutesy neologism. I’ve always been a fan of detective fiction, especially stories featuring occult detectives, but when I started writing my Felix Renn stories, I knew I wanted to branch out beyond the typical detective fare. That’s part of the reason why the first two novellas in the series are so different in terms of tone and feel. “Temporary Monsters” is an action-horror romp, while “The Ash Angels” is a quieter, more atmospheric ghost story. “Black-Eyed Kids,” the third chapbook in the series, is a combination of the two.
The Black Lands are only hinted at in Temporary Monsters. Were you worried that readers would feel cheated at only getting tidbits to the true nature of this other realm?
It wasn’t a huge worry, but I knew for people who didn’t know that this was only the first story in an ongoing series, it might seem like a tease. Frankly I was more concerned with showing too much of the Black Lands. The most powerful fear is the fear of the unknown, and I knew the Black Lands would lose its power as a storytelling device if I revealed too much too soon.
I write these stories very much in mind of the characters who are living in a world where the supernatural exists. Despite all the things they know about this other dimension and the creatures that reside there, there’s so much more that they don’t know. If I had Felix gallivanting back and forth to the Black Lands, the stories wouldn’t be as realistic, and I feel it would take away from the mystique and the danger of the place.
Do you feel each story set in the Felix Renn universe can stand on its own without readers feeling lost?
Definitely. I set out from the beginning to make sure each story functioned both as a standalone piece and as part of an ongoing series. I suspect this will be harder to do as time goes by, but I think you reach a point in a series where it’s easier to start at the beginning than, say, with Book 10 or 15 (if I should be so lucky to write that many books, ha!).
When you look at Robert B. Parker’s Spenser books, or Ross Macdonald’s Lew Archer books, you can read them in pretty much any order. But that’s because the recurring plot elements and continuity is fairly minimal. I’m trying to find a happy medium with the Felix Renn stories, satisfying both the casual reader and the serious fan. It’s not easy, but I like the challenge.
When did you know Felix Renn would be the star of multiple short stories, novellas and a novel?
I had notes for a couple more Felix Renn stories after I wrote “Temporary Monsters,” but I didn’t know if they’d ever get written. It wasn’t until the reviews of TM started coming out that I realized I might be onto something big here. I really enjoyed writing “Temporary Monsters,” and I thought it had serious potential, but you can never predict how the readers are going to react.
Of course, having written a few more Felix Renn novellas and short stories, I know what people really want is a novel. All I can say is that I’m working on it. In fact, I’ve got the first three Felix Renn novels outlined and ready to go. I just need to find the time to write them!
Do you see Felix Renn being available in any other mediums, such as a comic book or film?
I’m certainly open to taking Felix Renn and the Black Lands into other mediums if the opportunity presented itself. I see a lot of potential with this concept, even beyond Felix Renn and his supernatural cases in Toronto. There’s a whole world dealing with the existence of the Black Lands, and plenty of stories to tell.
In Deadstock, you tackle the Weird West filtered through the lenses of science fiction and horror. Tell readers what the book is about.
It’s kind of funny how I wrote “Deadstock” because I was a fan of the genre even before I knew what a Weird Western really was. I enjoyed films like “High Plains Drifter” and “From Dusk Till Dawn,” but I never really thought of them as belonging to the same genre. I eventually found out there were all kinds of stories – books, movies, comic books – that mixed Westerns with horror and/or science fiction.
I’d written a few ordinary Western stories, but they didn’t really pop. Then I started throwing in ghosts and demons, and I realized this is what my Western stories were missing. I came up with a couple of characters and kind of fell in love with them. I didn’t intend to create another series, because frankly I’ve got my hands full with Felix Renn and the Black Lands, but I think it’s nice to have another place to go when I need a break from one set of stories or the other.
What made you decide to break from supernatural noir to tell this tale?
If memory serves, I think I actually wrote “Deadstock” before “Temporary Monsters,” but Weird Westerns are kind of a niche market, and it was also a novella, which are also hard to sell, so it took some time for that particular story to find a home. In fact, the publisher, Stonebunny Press, came to me and asked if I had anything they might be interested in. So if they hadn’t approached me, “Deadstock” may never have seen the light of day.
With past appearances at the Chilling Tales launch, WHC2011, and The Word On The Street, what advice would you give to new authors or those inexperienced in hitting the convention circuit to promote their works?
First and foremost, don’t look at conventions as something that will make your career. Networking is important, but there are just as many authors who have “made it” who never went to conventions, for one reason or another. Conventions are simply another tool of the trade. Some people love ’em, others don’t.
I typically attend two or three conventions a year, although this year I did six or seven, which is a crazy amount for me. The conventions themselves are fairly inexpensive, but the travel costs (air fare, hotel rooms, etc.) can add up. Still, it’s worth it to meet with writers whose work I admire as well as those I talk to via e-mail and social media.
I think if you attend conventions with strictly business on your mind, people will pick up on that and be less receptive to talk to you. You need to show some class and professionalism. It’s like people who friend me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter. If the first thing you do is spam me about your self-published book, I’m probably going to ignore you.
It’s important to be serious about your craft and to sell yourself, but conventions tend to have a fairly laid back atmosphere. I don’t know that I’ve done much wheeling and dealing at the conventions I’ve attended, but I always have a good time.
What do you think the future holds for the horror/dark fiction genre?
I’m not so good at predicting things, especially business trends. I hope that horror/dark fiction continues to be popular. I think it will. People like scary stories, and even when a particular genre falls out of vogue for a time, it tends to come back stronger than ever.
So I’m not too worried about the future of the horror/dark fiction genre. I just hope I can be a part of it.
How would you describe the ‘local’ horror/dark fiction community? Do you feel it is lacking in any way (in terms of visibility, promotion, awareness, resources for writers/readers etc.)
The Toronto area horror/dark fiction community is incredible. On a personal level, I’ve met a number of writers who I’m fortunate enough to call my friends. There are plenty of great area events like Ad Astra, SFContario, DarkLit Fest of Durham, the Toronto SpecFic Colloquium, and the Chiaroscuro Reading Series. And of course, the World Fantasy Convention is coming to Richmond Hill in 2012.
Tell our readers a bit about your upcoming adventures, places to find you (website/blog, Twitter, Facebook, etc), and any parting words you are itching to share.
In terms of appearances, I have a signing coming up in Peterborough for my Weird Western release, Deadstock. The final date hasn’t been determined, but once it has I’ll be posting it on my website, Twitter, Facebook, etc.
I’m one of the organizers of this year’s DarkLit Fest of Durham, taking place at the Oshawa Public Library on December 3rd.
In April 2012, I’ll be a guest at Toronto Comic Con, and later in the fall, ChiZine Publications will be launching my first book, a short story collection called Every House Is Haunted.
Want to know more about Ian? December’s Bloodlight will return with 3 more featured posts, including a fantastic (no…seriously), FANTASTIC giveaway next week where you can win the ENTIRE SET of Felix Renn chapbooks.

Anti-TNF Agents for Crohn’s Disease
Sunanda Kane, M.D., discusses a recently published study in Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics about the superiority of anti-TNF agents for Crohn’s disease.
Patients are interested in knowing if one anti-TNF agent is better than the others. Researchers at the University of Michigan conducted a study using statistical methods from previous studies. The results showed there was no difference between using Remicade, Humira, or Cimzia to induce remission of Crohn's disease. Whether it's by IV or injection, all three methods were effective at treating Crohn's disease. This is a novel study that takes data already available and compares the outcomes statistically. The results give an idea of whether there is a trend indicating which medicine is better for treatment. In this study, the results show that all three medications appear to be equivalent for treating Crohn's disease.

Recently, European company Euronext made a $10 million investment in Algomi. News of our revolutionary programs built for fixed market trading must have spread to Euronext, giving them the idea to develop a MTF (Multilateral Trading Facility) in conjunction with us here at Algomi.
Electronic bond trading is an opportunity that we all want to be involved in, but not many have overcome the transition from traditional, voice based trades. Many traders also prefer the older, more human trading via the telephone.
The recent shift in ideas are a result of events like Donald Trump´s presidential victory. Unsurprisingly, Trump´s victory wiped $1 trillion off the market by November 14th, bringing the estimated market down to $86 trillion from $87 trillion. In an effort to diversify and survive in a unstable economic climate, companies are thinking of new ways to unlock value in their trades.
Euronext´s aim with Algomi is to create a new MTF to create a centralised marketplace for pan-European corporate bond trading.
What is a multilateral trading facility?
An MTF is a self-regulated financial trading venue that is considered an alternative to the traditional stock exchange, which trades in securities. In short, it connects multiple traders in an alternative way, offering different rules and different trade opportunities than traditional stock trading.
Euronext´s choice in Algomi
Our track record has so far been excellent, winning multiple awards for innovation, even in the early stages of our inception. Algomi will supply Euronext with a fully internally developed exchange-grade bond matching solution to give the functionality that you need for algorithmic smart-matching to create and auction between dealers.
The basic idea is that if a bank is not able to match an order from a buy-side trader, it will get sent to the separate inter-dealer exchange where a more collaborative approach can find the other portion of the deal.
Algomi´s CTO, Usman Khan says: “Any bank that uses Synchronicity will automatically, once they have a contractual agreement in place with the Euronext MTF, be able to access that exchange very quickly.”
Together, Euronext and Algomi are building a better future for themselves and the trading community.

Avatar: 10 Strongest Marvel Characters Korra Can Defeat
Time and time again, Korra has shown the true extent of her power against numerous enemies in The legend of Korra. Whether in an Avatar State or not, she has never backed down from a fight and has always relied on her instincts and abilities to overcome all manner of threats. It is not without reason that she is considered one of the most powerful characters in her universe.
While there are many Marvel superheroes who would never be defeated by this Avatar, there are many more who are more likely to fall under Korra’s bending abilities and fighting skills, either because they don’t have the strength to master it or simply because they don’t. I don’t have enough power to match it.
ten Hercules’ strength wouldn’t match Korra’s bending skills
Based on Heracles from Greek mythology, Hercules is a superhuman who possesses the abilities of an Olympian god: he has super strength, super speed, super reflexes, and super stamina and endurance. In addition to this, he is also a master of many Olympian arts, such as archery, wrestling, and some martial arts.
However, even though Hercules is a very powerful superhuman, none of his abilities are enough to match Korra’s. Granted, a hand-to-hand combat between these two characters would have a very close outcome, but in the end, Hercules lacks the additional abilities to deal with something as powerful as Korra’s bending skills, and he would therefore succumb to the four elements.
9 Korra’s firebending directly addresses Venom’s weakness
Marvel’s favorite symbiote would soon lose a fight against the Avatar simply because she possesses the ability to control one of her greatest weaknesses; Fire. While this element doesn’t necessarily kill Venom, it depletes it, so it wouldn’t take long for Korra to neutralize the Venom symbiote.
Now Korra would have to be extra careful in a fight against Venom: if the symbiote took her as a host, her evil nature would mix with the powers of the Avatar and they could become one of the most dangerous forces on Earth.
8 Emma Frost’s telepathic abilities would deter Korra, but not beat her
Considering that Emma Frost is one of the most powerful women in the Marvel Universe, many wouldn’t believe Korra would beat her in battle, but Frost is highly unlikely to win against the Avatar. Although she is a very skilled fighter, she is not as good as Korra, who is considered a martial arts prodigy.
Either way, Emma Frost’s abilities aren’t completely useless against Korra. The White Queen can transform her body into a diamond at will, allowing her to withstand many punches. She is also an excellent telepath, and Korra tends to be weak in the face of delusion. However, that wouldn’t be enough and Emma would soon find herself in Korra’s hands.
seven Korra’s fighting skills surpass Jessica Jones’ strength
Jessica Jones’ main ability is her superhuman strength. Because of this, a battle between her and Korra would only be blows. Since Korra is a trained fighter who knows several martial arts and Jessica is trained in hand-to-hand combat, both women would give and receive punches in the same way.
However, even though Jessica is physically stronger than Korra, she is not as competent as she is. On top of that, if Korra used her bending abilities, Jessica Jones would be able to do very little to avoid losing the fight.
6 Black Panther’s abilities wouldn’t be enough to defeat Korra
Much like the Avatar, the Black Panther is a chosen spiritual leader who also serves as a guardian to her people. Korra and T’Challa both understood their function in society from a young age, and because of this, they are properly trained to fulfill their destiny. This, of course, includes combat training.
Both characters are very proficient on the battlefield and they also possess powers the other does not: Korra can bend, and T’Challa has superhuman speed, strength, and reflexes. In this area, Korra wins all the time, and Black Panther cannot protect herself from the elements. Granted, Black Panther can heal himself, and that power would make the fight last for a while, but ultimately Wakanda’s Protector would end up on the losing side.
5 Korra’s bending is a big advantage against Captain America
Everyone loves Captain America and yes, he’s a talented fighter. However, there is very little Steve Rogers can do against an enemy as powerful as the Avatar, especially Korra. Not only does she have her bending abilities, which gives her an advantage over an old-school fighter like Steve, but she’s also mastered a lot more martial arts than the Super Soldier.
Perhaps Captain America might be able to fend off Korra using her unique fighting style, but being a combat prodigy, she will soon find a strategy to prevail over him.
4 Magneto would be Korra’s admirable opponent, but he wouldn’t beat her
Since Magneto can manipulate the magnetic fields around him, you could say that his powers are very similar to those of bending. This ability to control any metallic object close to him would make him a very difficult enemy for Korra. Still, he wouldn’t beat her.
Korra can also master metal, and she can also control three times the elements that Magneto does. In addition, his combat skills are far superior to that of Erik Lehnsherr. All Magneto would likely be able to do is dodge Korra’s punches, but even that wouldn’t last long given her speed and strength during the fight.
3 Korra would struggle against America Chavez, but she would beat her
America Chavez, also known as Miss America, has superhuman strength, speed, and durability. She can also fly. More importantly, Chavez can create holes in reality in order to travel to other places. For this reason, she is one of the strongest superheroes in the Marvel Universe. Either way, Korra would be able to beat her.
America’s only advantage over the Avatar is probably her ability to warp in space, but unless she tries to escape, that power wouldn’t do much. In any other category, Korra surpasses her. On top of that, America does not have any power that can help her against the Four Elements the Avatar can overpower.
2 No Iron Man costume matches Korra
Although Iron Man is one of the most powerful superheroes in the Marvel Universe, his wits and abilities barely come in handy against Korra, whose power of bending is one of the strongest. If they had to fight, she would win.
The only way Iron Man can beat Korra, or at least come close to her, is to have already prepared for battle, to know her powers. He’s smart enough to create technology that would stop the Avatar, but he’s not strong enough to stop it if that technology fails, less melee because it is stronger.
1 Korra would need the avatar state to defeat Captain Marvel
As one of the most powerful superheroes in the Marvel Universe, Captain Marvel would be one of the toughest opponents for any avatar. In fact, it’s possible that Korra won’t be able to defeat her using her own strength, but it should be remembered that Korra not only wields her own power but that of many Avatars before her.
For this reason, in order to defeat Carol, Korra would have to access the Avatar State. Considering that Captain Marvel’s powers are basically what one would consider energybending, it would be a grueling fight. However, Korra would beat her in the end, as her combat skills are superior to Captain Marvel’s.

The fruit growing industries have been faced for years with the problem of maintaining the fruit in healthy condition during shipping" and tially protecting fruits against decay,producing fungi.
In the customary method of handling citrus fruits, the fruit is first washed thru a solution of soap and other cleaning agents; thenit is brought in contact with a treating solution such as 6% borax at a temperature of 120 F. for a period of 5 minutes. It is later taken out, dried and waxed. The use of borax at such a dangerously high temperature is only efiective against green mold but has no appreciable effect on the blue mold (see Journal of Agricultural Research U. S. D. A. vol. 30, p. 189, 1925). Such a pro longed contact at as high a temperature as 120 injures the fruit in that the essential oils and waxes are bleached out of the' peel and the fruit withers very rapidly. Furthermore, the Valencia oranges have a very thin and tender skin and contact of fruit at 120 for 5 minute period ex pands the orange and the skin ruptures and in this way a loss as high as 10% oi; the oranges results.
Hypochlorite, on the other hand, has a detrimental effect on the bristles of brushes used for washing fruit and also attacks the metal parts of the machinery used in handling the fruit. Furthermore, the use of hypochlorite solution has not given very satisfactory results. In order to obviate these troubles, 'a new and improved method of sterilizing fruit has recently been introduced in the commercial fruit packing houses. This method uses nitrogen trichloride gas. This gas is brought in contact with the fruit for a perod of 5 or 6 hrs. and then the fruit I is taken out, washed and packed. The method seems to have shown good possibilities. There are however very serious objections to the use of this gas as it is well known to be one of the most explosive gases known. It is manufactured right in each packing house when needed for use and requires elaboratemachinery for its manufacture. It therefore requires the services of a trained and expert chemist ineach packing house. Aside from the dangerously explosive character of the nitrogen trichloride, it runs up the cost of operation enormously and the price becomes almost prohibitive. Various attempts have been made to use chlorine gas and bring the fruit in contact with .it in an enclosed room (just as nitrogen 15 chloride is used) but the efforts have been fruitless. The amount of chlorine gas used is so small that it has become almost impossible to control it. Larger quantities than the required amount burn the fruit. The present invention is based upon the discovery that when a measured or predetermined quantity of a hypochlorite solution such as, for example, sodium hypochlorite, is placed in a fruit storage or treating room and a measured 15 or predetermined quantity of an acid such as, for example, hydrochloric acid, is gradually added to the hypochlorite, gaseous products of reaction are generated and released into the fruit treating room. These gaseous products of reaction 20 vapors generated appear to contain chlorine in the form of hypochlorous acid gas and these vapors or gaseous products of reaction are herein referred to as chlorine-containing gases. when fruit or vegetables are permitted to re- 25 main in contact with or are subjected to these generated vapors and reaction products for a period of time of say about 2 to 6 hours, the fruit or vegetables are sterilized and the common forms of fungi and decay are either killed or inhibited and retarded.
In accordance with this invention, therefore, the chlorine-containing gas is liberated in nascent form in close proximity to the fruit to be treated (preferably within the storage or treat- 35 ing room itself). The reaction between sodium hypochlorite and hydrochloric acid, for instance, develops some heat and since aqueous solutions are employed, the reaction permits the liberation of hypochlorous acid gas drogen chloride in gaseous form. The conjoint action of these products of reaction produces a marked sterilizing effect. The liberation of liquefled chlorine in astorage room in approximately the same quantities will not exert efiect which is attained invention.
The amount of the gas or vaporous products of reaction can be controlled very accurately by regulating the quantity of the reagents such as 50 hypochlorite solution and acid solution, which are used. The attention of an expert chemist is not necessary. Sodium hypochlorite solutions can be purchased on the open market. Complicated machinery is not required.
in accordance with this and perhaps some by" 40.
the sterilizing '15 After the fruit is ster- 55 ilized in accordancewith this process, the residual chlorine-containing gas existing in the treating room can be exhausted from the room and pumped directly into a solution containing an alkali for the purpose of reforming, in part at least, additional quantities of hypochlorite solution. It is highly desirable that the chlorinecontaining gas from the rooms be eliminated before operators enter the storage rooms. Suitable storage or treating rooms may be found in many packing houses although some provision may have to be made for rendering the rooms more gas-tight than those ordinarily encountered. The storage and temperature conditions found in usual fruit storage rooms are satisfactory.
Further exemplifying the process of this invention, it may be stated that when 200 cc. of a sodium hypochlorite solution containing 2.5% of available chlorine is used per 100 cubic feet of air space in the treating room and 50 cc. of a- 1:1 hydrochloric acid is gradually added to the sodium hypochlorite solution, the gases generated or released will contain approximately 5 grams of chlorine and that under these conditions fruit will be sterilized against mold growth. If the fruit is subjected to these gaseous reaction products for a period of 2 to 6 hours, scale insects on the fruit will be killed in addition to the fungi. A concentration of approximately 0.05 gram released chlorine per cubic foot of gas or air in the treating room is sufiicient to destroy the mold spores. Quantities'of ingredients and the concentration of the gas may be varied, however, depending upon the time of contact and the temperature of the storage rooms. It has been found that the mold spores and scale insects on the trees can also be destroyed while the fruit is still on the trees by releasing the gaseous products of reaction under tents enclosing the trees.
What I claim:
1. A method of treating fruit and vegetables to substantially sterilize the same without injury, which comprises: gradually intermixing predetermined quantities tion containing a hypochlorite, and subjecting of an acid and a solufruit and vegetables to vaporous products of reaction released by said intermixing and containing hypochlorous acid gas whereby mold decay is inhibited and the fruit virtually sterilized without injury to the fruit.
2. A method of treating whole fruit and vegetables to inhibit decay thereof, which comprises: gradually intermixing predetermined quantities of an acid and a solution containing a hypochlorite, and subjecting whole fruits and vegetables to the vaporous products of reaction containing hypochlorous acid gas released by said intermixing for a period of about 2 to 6 hours whereby mold decay is inhibited without injury to the fruit and vegetables. 3. A method of -treating fruit and vegetables to inhibit decay thereof which comprises: subjecting fruit and vegetables to the vaporous products of reaction generated by the addition of a solution of an acid to an aqueous solution of an hypochlorite.
4. A method of treating fruit and vegetables to inhibit decay thereof which comprises: subjecting fruit and vegetables to the vaporous products of reaction generated by the addition of a solution of hydrochloric acid to an aqueous solution of alkali hypochlorite.
5. A method of treating fruit and vegetables to inhibit decay thereof which comprises: subjecting fruit and vegetables to the vaporous products of reaction generated by the addition of a solution of hydrochloric acid to an aqueous solution of alkali hypochlorite for a period of'from about 2 to 6 hours at substantially normal temperature and humidity conditions.
6. A method of treating fruit and vegetables to substantially sterilize the same without injury, which comprises: gradually mixing hydrochloric acid and a solution containing a hypochlorite, and
subjecting fruit and vegetables to vaporous products of reaction released by the said intermixing and containing hypochlorous acid, whereby mold decay is inhibited and the fruit virtually sterilized without injury to the fruit.

Recently, doyen journalist Christiane Amanpour stated that an interview with Ebrahim Raisi, Iranian President was cancelled after he conditioned she wear a headscarf, where the focus of major protests in the cleric-run state.
Christiane, CNN’s chief international anchor who also has a show on US public broadcaster PBS stated that she was all prepared for an interview yesterday in the sidelines of the UN General Assembly when an aide insisted she cover her hairs.
She tweeted, “I politely declined. We are in New York, where there is no law or tradition regarding headscarves.” Christiane who is born to an Iranian father in Britain.
Moreover, she stated, “I pointed out that no previous Iranian president has required this when I have interviewed them outside Iran.said that I couldn’t agree to this unprecedented and unexpected condition.”
Amanpour shared a picture of herself (without headscarf) sitting in front of an empty chair where Ebrahim Raisi would have been.
She further stated that an aide to Raisi informed her that he insisted on a headscarf because of “the current situation in Iran”.

Abby Agina, who has been a reporter at NTV’s business desk, has decamped to rival television station, KTN. Mr Agina, 29, debuts tonight on KTN’s business programme Business Today, as an anchor. He will replace Bonny Tunya who left the station to join CNBC Africa’s Nairobi Bureau based at Ambank House in Nairobi.
“It has been a good run so far,” Mr Agina, who started his career at NTV three and a half years ago, said on his Facebook page. “Tonight I make my debut on KTN Business. I thank my family, former and current colleagues and friends for the role each played in my journey in journalism.” In an interview with BUSINESS TODAY, Mr Agina said he considers the shift from Nation Centre to Standard Group Centre on Mombasa Road a “good move that gives me a chance to try new frontiers in my journalism career.”
KTN’s business desk has had a high turnover of staff, with two business editors exiting over the past three years. Samuel Kantai left in 2012 to join CCTV, while Joseph Bonyo, who replaced Mr Kantai, quit this year to join CNBC Africa. Others who left include Mr Zawadi Mudibo, a business reporter-cum-anchor, left two years ago and currently works for Fountain Media and reporter, Peter Wakaba.
A polished journalist with a soft-spoken tone, Mr Abby Agina has been a strong member of the NTV business desk where, besides daily reporting, he ran the Golden Hands series, which involved interrogating industry captains on various strategic issues. He has on occasions worked a stand-in anchor for major live events, including the Budget speeches in 2012, and 2013.
In 2012 NTV’s Abby Agina won the East African broadcasting reporting award at the fifth Media Summit held in Kigali. A year later, he was feted as the overall best reporter in East Africa during the EAC Media Awards in Kampala, Uganda, following a riveting two-part report titled the ‘Untold Tales of Truck Drivers’.
The NTV business desk, led by Wallace Kantai, will certainly feel his absence. “Of course I have learnt a lot from my NTV colleagues,” Mr Agina said. “It was a great launch pad for my journalism career.”
Mr Agina joined Daily Nation as an intern in 2010 fresh from Moi University, where he studied Information Science, specialising in media and publishing. “I honed my skills in writing and was deployed to the news desk where wrote on a number of topics ranging from ICC, politics, health, entertainment, sports to education,” he says.
His journey in journalism took a new course in 2011 when he joined the Media Lab, Nation Media Group’s graduate trainee programme. On graduating from the programme, he was posted to the NTV Business Desk in December of 2011. Mr Agina reports on regional issues that touch on trade, infrastructure and ICT.

Ryanair’s UK flights were operating as normal on Thursday morning despite a strike by pilots, the airline has said.
There were fears of widespread disruption after a judge rejected a high court attempt by the airline to force pilots to return to work.
Ryanair reported a 97% punctuality rate for its first departures and arrivals at UK airports on Thursday, blaming the small number of delays on air traffic control issues.
A judge rejected an application on Wednesday for an injunction against the British Airline Pilots’ Association (Balpa), which would have forced pilots to return to work.
Balpa said it had offered to reopen negotiations with the airline after the ruling, in a final attempt to avert strike action. The union said the Ireland-based airline had “rejected the offer out of hand”, so the strikes would go ahead as planned between 00:01 on Thursday until 23:59 on Friday.
Brian Strutton,the union’s general secretary, said Balpa had attempted to re-enter negotiations, claiming “we extended an olive branch to Ryanair as a way of getting back around the table and calling off strikes over the next two days”.
Balpa said the walkout was caused by a longstanding dispute over pay and conditions.
The airline said it expected most of its flights to continue as normal, emphasising that while small disruptions could occur, it it did not expect significant disruptions during the strike.
A second round of industrial action is due to take place from 2-4 September.

Please note that I was provided with the curriculum from Apologia in exchange for my honest review and was compensated for my time. All opinions expressed are my own and I was not required to write a positive review. Affiliate links are provided for you to find resources that I use and do not cost you any more but will help with the cost of maintaining this blog. Please refer to my full disclosure policy.
I’m not sure I could even teach high school if it weren’t for Apologia. We have always used their science curriculums and this year expanded to using their literature resources. This year, we are using American Literature for our homeschool high school. I previously shared how my youngest enjoys his reading and writing curriculum from Apologia, so I had high hopes that my oldest would enjoy American Literature. While he is not an avid reader, he does enjoy the darkness of Edgar Allen Poe ever since he heard his older sister read the Tell-Tale Heart. And of
course, I have a copy of Fart Proudly on our high school bookshelf so the younger kids have always been interested in Benjamin Franklin! Both of these authors are explored in American Literature.
About the Curriculum
I received the set which includes the textbook and the student notebook. These can also be ordered separately on the website which is especially helpful if you have more students to teach and only need additional notebooks.
The textbook is divided between five main sections which focus on time periods:
- The Colonial Age
- The Age of Reason and Revolution
- The Romantic Age
- The Age of Realism
- The Modern Age
The eighteen chapters will cover two semesters and you can download lesson plans (along with an extensive Answer Key) for free on the Apologia Book Extras site. (The login information for this special site is inside your American Literature textbook.) However, the author advises that it is better to understand fewer works well so don’t feel like all of the selections
must be covered if your student struggles. To obtain a deeper understanding of the literary techniques, there are probing questions and a test after each chapter. For each semester, there is an exam that will cover the previous nine chapters and the student writes a literary interpretation paper. (Don’t worry, the student notebook explains how to accomplish this!) The exam ends with an essay question.
The student notebook’s introduction is for the parent/teacher as it covers how to evaluate the writing assignments and grade the tests. There’s a few literary works that are not printed inside the textbook (could you only imagine how big the textbook would be if all of the works were included??!!) and there’s a list of works that you can easily acquire at the library. The student notebook is awesome to have one place where your student can write all out the answers to the questions in liberal space.
About the Author
Dr. Whit Jones is the 2017 Recipient of the Educator of the Year Award from Bryan College, where he is a professor. Dr. Jones is a homeschooling father and has taught his American Literature courses to homeschool students.
I am using this with my son that has always struggled with language processing. Considering this area is one of his biggest challenges, this curriculum was challenging for him but he really did step up and learn a lot. I did help him more than I would have needed to help my previous kids. If you have a struggling student, you can easily adapt this program for them. And if you have a student that is advanced, this course will challenge them without any assistance from you. You can even require them to write their essays using MLA paper format (which is included in the extras on the website and is what I had to use a few years ago in my college English course) for proper citations.
I love that there are such a variety of authors that are covered, different styles of literature, and that the curriculum is Christian-based. At the beginning of each chapter the time period is discussed (which is great for us because my son does love history and this helped him make a connection) and then there’s a short introduction to the author.
As a veteran homeschool mom, I can attest this is an excellent curriculum to use to satisify high school credits for literature and writing (yes, two credits!).
