|Molecule Type||Antigen Expression||Molecular Weight|
Min / Max
|Non-lineage Restricted Molecule|
Type 1 glycoprotein
|16 / 16|
|CD247 is expressed on CD3-CD56+CD16+ NKcells during thymopoiesis and on all T cells in the periphery.|
|MOLECULAR FAMILY NAME: Belongs to the immunoglobulin gene superfamily.|
CD247 is a single-pass type-1 143 aa glycoprotein. It contains a 21 aa signal sequence, a 9 aa extracellular domain which contains no glycosylation sites, a 21 aa transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic domain containing 3 immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs). CD247 dimers form part of the T-cell receptor (TCR)-CD3 complex in T cells. This complex consists of T cell receptor α/β or γ/δ heterodimers associated with three distinct dimers: CD3γ/ε, CD3δ/ε and CD3ζ/ζ (CD247). Each of these dimers associates with a specific basic residue in the TCR transmembrane region. Assembly of CD247 dimer into the complex requires the interaction of aspartic acid residues in the CD247 TM with arginine in the TM of TCRα or TCRδ.
Alternative splicing yields 2 different isoforms.
CD247 is phosphorylated on Tyr residues after T cell receptor triggering. The ζ chain is nonglycosylated and exists in the T-cell receptor as a disulfide-linked homodimer.
|LIGANDS AND MOLECULES ASSOCIATED WITH CD247|
CD247 is a component of the CD3/TCR complex. Phosphorylated ITAM motifs of the CD3 and z chains bind to SH2 domains of intracellular signaling molecules.
Phosphorylated z chains bind to ZAP-70.
|CD247 forms a dimeric transmembrane signaling molecule that is associated with the TCR-CD3 complex and is essential for the activation of T cells. CD247, the T-cell receptor z, together with T-cell receptor a/b and g/d heterodimers and CD3-g, -d, and -e, forms the complex. TCR ligation results in phosphorylation of the ITAM motifs of by tyrosine kinases Lck and Fyn. After phosphorylation, Sky family kinases ZAP-70 and Sky are recruited and activated, ultimately leading to NK-κB activation and translocation to the nucleus and T cell activation. The T cell activation is self-limiting and downregulation of TCR triggering involves loss of CD247 probably via internalization and degradation of TCR chains including CD247. The z chain plays an important role in coupling antigen recognition to several intracellular signal-transduction pathways. Low expression of the antigen results in the impaired immune responses. CD3ζ forms either homodimers or heterodimers with CD3-η. Interaction is with SLA and SLA2, with DOCK2 and TRAT1, and with HIV-1 nef protein. Recognition of the antigen leads to recognition and signal transduction mediated by the invariant chains and subsequently T cell activation. Ligation of CD43 in T cells and NK cells can lead to CD247 phosphorylation and recruitment to the CD43 signaling pathway. CD2 and CD16 (FcγRIII) can associate with CD247 in NK cells. |
BIOCHEMICAL ACTIVITY: No information.
DISEASE RELEVANCE AND FUNCTION OF CD247 IN INTACT ANIMAL
Reduced expression of CD247 in tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes is strongly correlated with progressive disease in gastric carcinoma and a defective expression is found in a large proportion of patients with autoimmune diseases. Chronic antigenic stimulation via TCRs can result in prolonged or permanent downregulation of CD247 expression. This has been observed in patients with AIDS, cancer, leprosy and SLE in which there are circulating immune complexes. Expression of CD247 is decreased in CD4+ and CD8+ cells of some patients with cancer and correlates with poor prognosis and survival.

Small businesses that can prove hardship during construction of a proposed light-rail transit line along University Avenue in St. Paul may get some relief.
Mayor Chris Coleman Tuesday will announce early efforts to set up a compensation fund.
The mayor's office says it wants to create a financial safety net for small businesses hit hard by the four-year construction period, but the city still has no idea where the money will come from, or which businesses would qualify.
Nancy Homans is the mayor's policy director. She says the concept grew out of a strong community consensus to protect the merchants in the Central Corridor.
"From the business community, from the chamber of commerce, from the council -- all of us generally agree that these businesses should not go out of business because of the construction season," Homans said.
Business owners would also receive financial training and marketing advice on how they can prepare for construction.

Former governor of old Kaduna state, Alhaji Balarabe Musa, has described Andrew Yakubu, the former group managing director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) as unfortunate.
A whooping $9.8 million was discovered by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in a house owned by Yakubu, who has reportedly not denied owning the money.
Alhaji Musa said Yakubu was only unlucky as there were many others who have hidden money in parts of the country, but have not been caught.
He added that it is only a revolution can save the country against corruption by politicians and individuals.
Leadership reports that the former governor and politician noted that corruption in Nigeria began in 1966.
He urged Nigerians and communities in the country to shun any of their sons or relatives found to have corruptly enriched himself rather than being praised and celebrated.
He further reportedly asked the judiciary to wake up to its responsibility and save the country in relation to graft.
“The former GMD of NNPC, Andrew Yakubu was only unlucky because from councillor to the presidency, they are all corrupt.
“Governors, senators, House of Representatives members, ministers, presidents, council chairmen and councillors being former or sitting are too corrupt. Only few of them are not corrupt.
“Many corrupt Nigerians today are moving freely and enjoying their loots. Former GMD NNPC is not a lucky person.
“I can tell you corruption started since 1966 in Nigeria by the military. We must go back to 1966 and learn how corruption was very low at that time.
“The judiciary must sit up to handle corrupt cases. I commend President Buhari for trying to clean the judiciary,” he reportedly said.

An estimated 3,000 supporters of former far-right president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro have stormed the nation’s Supreme Court, National Congress Building, and the presidential palace in the capital city, Brasilia, on Sunday (Brazilian time).
Brazil’s armed forces had set up security barriers around National Congress. However, the protestors broke into the building, along with the Supreme Court, with footage showing them smashing furniture and windows. Other images show the protestors moving through the presidential palace.
It is likely there were limited personnel within the buildings, as the attacks took place on Sunday.
The day before, over 100 buses had arrived in Brasilia for the event.
The situation is now under control, with hundreds of people arrested and authorities vowing to bring everyone involved to justice.
Since the results of the October 30 election, Jair Bolsonaro refused to accept his electoral defeat to the left-wing now president, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. He has consistently questioned — without evidence — the reliability of Brazil’s electronic voting system.
Bolsonaro supporters have staged numerous protests since the election, including setting vehicles on fire, creating roadblocks, and protesting outside of military buildings while demanding the country’s armed forces to intervene.
Bolsonaro himself is yet to condemn or comment on the actions of his supporters. He had flown to the United States prior to his opponent’s inauguration.
The election’s results are recognised as legitimate by politicians from both sides of Brazilian politics, including some of Bolsonaro’s allies. Foreign governments also recognise the result as legitimate.
Regarding this week’s protests in Brazil, the country’s Justice Minister, Flavio Din said on Twitter, “This absurd attempt to impose their will by force will not prevail.”
Colombian President Gustavo Petro tweeted, “All my solidarity with Lula and the people of Brazil. Fascism decides to strike.”
The United States security advisor, Jake Sullivan said on Twitter that the US “condemns any effort to undermine democracy in Brazil,” and the US support for Brazil’s “democratic institutions is unwavering.”

Steroids for fat loss india
Legal steroids for weight loss are simply natural weight loss supplements that are designed to look like actual illegal steroids. So here, let's take a look at how these natural steroids are made: 1. Steroid Production: The whole process of creating steroids begins with the production of a hormone that is called a steroid. Steroids are composed of two components: an enzyme and a protein. It is believed that the human body is able to produce about 6,000 different compounds (known as steroids). These compounds are also known as metabolites, clenbuterol. Because there exists so many different compounds and variations, there are only about 20 different classes (genres). They are: 1) Hormones, 2) Growth Factors, 3) Natural Steroids, and 4) Analogues. Hormones: Hormones are the hormones that regulate the immune, endocrine system, digestive, cardiovascular, and reproductive functions. These hormones are what regulate your body's metabolism, sleep cycles, and how well you feel when eating, drinking, sleeping, and exercising. The major hormones found in a steroid are: (1) Estrogen (2) Testosterone (3) Androsterone (4) GnRH (5) Estradiol (6) Luteinizing Hormone (LH) (7) Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) (8) Androstenedione (9) Androstenediol (10) Androstenediol-3-O-glucuronide (11) Androstenediol-3-O-β-glucuronide (12) Androstenediol-3-O-β-glucuronide-3-O-glyceroside (13) Androstenediol-3-O-β-glyceroside (14) Androstenediol-3-O-β-glucuronide-6-O-glucuronide (15) Androstenediol-3-O-β-glucuronide-4-O-glucuronidase (16) Androstenediol-3-O-β-glucuronide-5-O-glucuronide (17) Androstenediol-3-O-β-glucuronide-8-O-glucuronide
Refrain from taking any weight-loss supplements when you are on natural steroids cycle and opt for a natural process of losing weight like proper dieting, exercises, etc. Remember that when you use natural supplements, it's all about good nutrition including good water. If you have problems with your water, you might be drinking too much of your supplements. Try to avoid artificial food additives, dyes and artificial sweeteners since they are not good for you or your kids. Keep a strict diet with balanced food. Avoid processed foods and foods that have added sugars. Try and eat organic or natural fruits, vegetables and whole grains Try to eat a variety of foods at the holidays. Eat foods that offer natural vitamins and minerals. It's hard to lose weight if you're using natural muscle building methods and steroids. But if you keep your weight stable and your weight loss rate, it's going in the right direction. Related Article:

|FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
White Paper on Depictions of African-American Women in Reality TV Illustrates Real Life Effect
Studies have uncovered that television shows that portray African-Americans as “criminals or unemployed” were thought to be realistic, as were negative personality characteristics.
WASHINGTON, D.C., Feb. 26, 2016—In collaboration with Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated (Zeta) and education, media and advertising agency partners, the American Advertising Federation (AAF) has developed and released the white paper, “Reality TV: Entertaining, But No Laughing Matter.”
In Spring 2015, the AAF and Zeta through its GET ENGAGED™ social action initiative, co-sponsored a 10-city watch party tour, “Reality TV: Realistic, Stereotypical, Helpful or Harmful?,” focused on the impact of media images on people of color. Approximately 400 watch party participants examined the state of African-American images in media, their effect on public and personal perceptions and the role that people of goodwill can play in driving change.
“First, we do not have a vendetta against reality TV. But, as marketing and media professionals, community advocates, educators and parents, we know the power of media to do good, or in some cases harm. We found that many of these images, as well as those found in social media, were believed to directly influence how African-American women were perceived in the workplace, society as a whole—and shape how African-American women define themselves,” said Kendra Hatcher King, former AAF Mosaic Council chairperson. “We are committed to creating actionable solutions to educate young women and girls about the impact of these harmful images,” added King, who is also Zeta’s GET ENGAGED™ chairperson.
As a result, the AAF and Zeta have produced a white paper which explores the need to portray more than single-story depictions of African-American women and realistic aspects of multicultural life; research theories that can be used to understand current media effects; key discussion points from the watch party series; connections between the advertising industry and images displayed in ads and in programming, with a targeted focus on advertising ethics; and suggestions from participants on tackling the problem of media misrepresentation.
Wally Snyder, Executive Director of the Institute for Advertising Ethics said, “When we depict people unfairly it has a major impact on our society.

Editor, Health Impact News
Alabama Republican Governor Kay Ivey has joined the Biden Administration and the CDC in attacking “unvaccinated” residents in her own state, blaming them for rising “cases” of COVID-19.
Her handlers, who are undoubtedly among the Big Pharma lobbyists, are apparently putting pressure on her to get in line with this narrative as Alabama has the lowest COVID-19 vaccination rate in the country.
The Republican governor of Alabama has said it is “time to start blaming the unvaccinated folks” for rising cases of Covid-19, amid concern that months of misinformation over the need and efficacy of vaccines is fueling a resurgence of coronavirus infections in several states.
Kay Ivey said that vaccines are “the greatest weapon we have to fight Covid” and added that a surge in new cases of the coronavirus in Alabama is due to a reluctance among many people in the state to get inoculated.
Only about a third of eligible people in Alabama have got a vaccine shot, one of the lowest rates in the US.
“Folks are supposed to have common sense,” said the Alabama governor. “But it’s time to start blaming the unvaccinated folks, not the vaccinated folks. It’s the unvaccinated folks that are letting us down.”
Ivey added that nearly all the new hospitalizations and deaths due to Covid are unvaccinated people. “These folks are choosing a horrible lifestyle of self-inflicted pain,” she said. (Source.)
It should be noted that like other Republican Governors, Ivey signed a bill in May that prohibits businesses and other institutions in Alabama from requiring “vaccine passports” that verify the immunization status of people as a condition for entry or services.
But as we have previously reported, that doesn’t mean that she, or any other Republican Governor, is against the COVID-19 injections and all the harm they are causing. See:
Wolves in Sheep Clothing – Republican Governors are Pro-Bioweapon Injections Despite Opposing COVID-19 “Vaccine Passports”
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, while stopping short of actually blaming the “unvaccinated” for current “outbreaks” as Governor Ivey did, nevertheless is also promoting the same narrative put out last Friday by the CDC and Biden Administration, by repeating the lie that almost all hospitalizations right now are among the “unvaccinated,” because the COVID-19 “vaccines are saving lives.”
As Newsweek reports:
Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has said that the COVID-19 “vaccines are saving lives.”
“If you are vaccinated, fully vaccinated, the chances of you getting seriously ill or dying from COVID is effectively zero,” DeSantis said during a Wednesday press briefing.
“If you look at the people being admitted to hospitals, over 95 percent of them are either not fully vaccinated or not vaccinated. And so these vaccines are saving lives.” (Source.)
These Republican Governors are LYING to you.
As we reported when the CDC first put forth this lie last Friday, there is ZERO evidence or data that they are presenting to back up the claim that almost all hospitalizations right now are among “unvaccinated” people, and that deaths due to these “new outbreaks” of COVID-19 are increasing.
Let’s look at what the CDC is actually reporting in terms of “deaths,” so that we can easily catch them (and everyone who repeats them) in their own lies.
First, here is the graphic that Walensky used at the White House last Friday for “statistics” that allegedly claim deaths are increasing.
This “headline news” that made its way through the corporate media all week about this deadly new “pandemic of unvaccinated” is based on 310 deaths from the “deadly Delta variant” from the ENTIRE U.S. for one day, 7/14/21.
According to these “statistics” then, that one day raised the “7-day death average” from 167 deaths to 211 deaths, FOR THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES, where currently 3,150 people die every day, according the CDC’s own statistics.
Here’s your “pandemic of the unvaccinated.”
Here are the latest death stats directly from the CDC website as of today, July 23, 2021:
As can be clearly seen here, total deaths are still trending downward from week 19 (May 15, 2021) through Week 28 (July 17, 2021).
Even “COVID-19 deaths” are trending downward, although these stats on “COVID-19 deaths” are mostly worthless, as we saw last year that pretty much ANY death can be reclassified as a “COVID-19” death, with plenty of incentives to do so.
And where is the data to back up their claim that almost everyone being admitted to the hospital is “unvaccinated?”
Nowhere. Nothing. Zilch.
Just an appeal to authority by CDC Director Rochelle Walensky sitting in the White House last Friday, backed up by America’s favorite TV “doctor,” Anthony Fauci, and a few other health bureaucrat “officials” with two or three letter alphabet titles after their name to make them sound important.
I’m pretty sure that most of the people entering American hospitals here in July of 2021 are “breakthrough” cases of people already vaccinated with a COVID-19 shot, as that is exactly what we are seeing elsewhere around the world, such as in the UK and Israel where about 60% of new hospital admissions are those already fully vaccinated. (Source.)
And just today, July 23, 2021, WZTV out of Nashville is reporting:
The Tennessee Department of Health reports 27 fully vaccinated people have died from COVID-19.
These are among the state’s more than 1,000 “breakthrough” cases. These are cases in which fully vaccinated people have contracted the virus.
Data is sent to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). TDH Commissioner Dr. Lisa Piercey said Friday more than two dozen deaths since May 1 and 195 hospitalizations among breakthrough cases. Including dates before May 1, there have been more than 1,000 breakthrough COVID-19 cases, the state reports. (Source.)
This blaming the unvaccinated for the illusionary new “delta” variant which many believe does not even exist, since once again the “stats” are based on “cases” and NOT people actually sick or dying, is a NON-PARTISAN issue!
You cannot hold a major political position in the United States today and be against any vaccines ordained by the medical priesthood, period.
So while the Republican Governors were apparently given the go-ahead to oppose vaccine passports, they most certainly are not going to do anything to stop the mass vaccination of the public with what dissenting doctors and scientists are calling “bioweapon shots,” which are now being extended to the nation’s children.
On the contrary, as the Alabama and Florida governors proved this week, they are all out in favor of them, and Alabama Republican Governor Kay Ivey has joined the Biden Administration in demonizing and targeting the citizens of her state who choose medical freedom over medical tyranny.
If you live in Alabama, you better make your voice heard ASAP. Going after people who choose NOT to take one of these deadly shots is intent to commit mass murder, and Governor Kay Ivey is no better than Fauci and the rest of the mass-murderers running this country now.
So if you live in Alabama, let her know how you feel, then contact both of your state representatives and DEMAND that they take action to protect their constituents. Starting impeachment proceedings against her would be totally appropriate, as would a recall election similar to what is currently going on in California.
If they are going to publicly announce their intention to try and ostracize you for standing up for medical freedom, do not make it easy for them! This is the time to stand up and fight, because mandatory and forced shots are what comes next in this agenda.
And for those of you who thought that maybe Fox News had finally bucked the trend of Big Pharma control and was now allowing a strong opposition to COVID-19 injections, think again.
Apparently both Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson got memos this week from their bosses to fall inline with this same narrative started from the CDC and White House last week, as both came out publicly this week to endorse the COVID-19 injections, proving what many of us have thought all along, that they were “controlled opposition.”
A viral video that shows Fox News host Sean Hannity pleading with viewers to “take COVID seriously” has been watched more than 2 million times since it was uploaded on to social media.
Speaking during the Monday night edition of his show, Hannity pleaded with his viewers to take COVID seriously and came out in support of vaccination.
The Fox News host said: “Please take COVID seriously, I can’t say it enough. Enough people have died, we don’t need more deaths. (Source.)
After he was accused of spreading vaccine misinformation, Fox News host Tucker Carlson has said that there may be “profound benefits” to the COVID-19 vaccine. Those benefits include lowering the severity of symptoms and hospitalizations related to the virus, Carlson said.
“There may well be profound benefits to the vaccine,” Carlson stated on his Monday night broadcast. “My understanding is that the vaccine does have benefits.”
“It seems to various vaccines seem to lower the effects of the disease, make it less severe on people,” he continued. “They’re less likely to go to the hospital to take for taking that. That completely makes sense.” (Source.)
These are two of the top rated talk show hosts in the corporate media, and I seriously doubt that it was a “coincidence” that they both addressed this issue on their Monday night shows, the first shows they aired after the CDC and Whitehouse announcement the previous Friday afternoon claiming that there was a “pandemic of the unvaccinated.”
The corporate press, which includes Big Tech, is now being completely controlled by the Biden Administration White House. They have now tossed aside the First Amendment of Freedom of Speech/Press in favor of a centralized government censorship against any information that does not support their agenda.

Cowgirls Cruise Through First Round of WNIT
Seniors Aubrey Vandiver and Hillary Carlson combined for 46 points to propel the Wyoming Cowgirl basketball team past the Portland State Vikings, 79-44, in the first round of the WNIT on Wednesday night in the Arena-Auditorium.
The first nine minutes of action saw the Cowgirls make only two field goals as they adjusted to the Portland State zone. But they did find seven points from the free throw line while holding the Vikings to three field goals in that span so Wyoming had an 11-8 lead at the 10:57 mark. After trading a couple of buckets, Wyoming pushed the ball into the paint and scored practically at will for the remainder of the half, going on a 22-6 run in the final nine minutes of the first half. UW went into halftime with a 35-16 lead.
Wyoming (23-8) was led by Hillary Carlson with 26 points and 7 rebounds and Aubrey Vandiver who had 20 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists. They were followed by Chaundra Sewell with 16 points, 9 boards and 4 assists and 2 steals. Randi Richardson had 7 assists and 3 rebounds while holding Portland State's leading scorer, Eryn Jones to just 2 points.
The Cowgirls grabbed a season high 58 rebounds and matched their season low with 8 turnovers. They shot 42 percent from the field, 10 percent from beyond the arc and 74 percent from the free throw line while earning 48 points in the paint and 22 second chance points off of 19 offensive boards.
After putting up 15 3-point attempts in the first half, Wyoming went 1-for-5 in the second half beyond the arc as they continued to find points in the paint, many of those earned on second chance. The gap between the Cowgirls and Vikings widened past 30 points and UW played the final eight minutes with only freshman and sophomores on the floor.
Portland State (20-12) was led by Courtney VanBrocklin with 11 points and Stephanie Egwuatu with 9 points and 6 rebounds. The Vikings shot 25 percent from the field, 22 percent from 3-point range and 54 percent from the free throw line.
Wyoming moves on to the second round of the WNIT. They will host Oklahoma State on Monday, March 21 in the Arena-Auditorium at 7 p.m. Coverage will begin on KOWB at 6:30 p.m.

(CN) - The NCAA has agreed to a $75 million settlement with college athletes who claimed the body put their health at risk by leaving concussion policies up to their individual schools.
The proposed settlement, which comes after more than a year of negotiations, is to be presented to U.S. District Judge John Lee in Chicago this afternoon.
Under terms of the agreement, the NCAA will establish a new protocol to handle concussed athletes and to monitor the health of those who might have suffered concussions while playing a wide variety of college sports.
If Judge Lee accepts the plan, the NCAA will fund a $70 million program to test current and former athletes for brain injuries.
Among the new guidelines that all NCAA schools will have to follow is a common return-to-play policy. Under that policy, players will not be allowed to return to action the same day they receive a concussion.
In addition, everyone on the sidelines, including players, coaches and trainers, will be subject to mandatory concussion education, and doctors trained in concussion diagnosis will have to be present for all games played.
The proposed settlement also requires the NCAA to contribute $5 million toward concussion-related research.
The settlement covers men and woman who participate in football, soccer, basketball, ice hockey, wrestling, field hockey and lacrosse.
Significantly, it does not set aside a lump sum to pay damages to athletes who have already suffered debilitating head injuries. As a result, the deal preserves the right of individual athletes to sue for damages on their own behalf.

Please read the beginning of this story as shown within the “Afghanistan Story” tab above.
Afghanistan, July, 2010, Camp Delaram
I was on the phone with a contractor from Leatherneck.
“Go change the MTU on the taclane to 1423.”
“Are you sure?”
“We have a maintenance window of four hours to do this. They expect your communication to go down.”
“If you say so.”
It was 0200 and I was the only person in the TCF. I walked over to the room across the hall and changed the MTU on our taclane. I walked back to my desk and picked up the phone.
“Okay, hold on.”
I poked around my computer while I waited for Simon to check my connection from Camp Leatherneck. He was one of the main engineers in our Area of Responsibility (AOR). I had never met him, but we had cultivated somewhat of a resemblance of a friendship from these middle-of-the-night maintenance windows from over the months.
As I tried navigating to Facebook, I saw another email come in.
I ignored it but felt a sense of dread settle in the bottom of my stomach. Simon came back onto the phone.
“Hey, it worked. You’re back up.”
“Hey, are you okay? You’ve been…different recently.”
I sat in silence, shocked that someone who was miles and miles away could sense that something was wrong.
“Uh, I’m fine.”
“Are you sure? Your voice sounds…different.”
“There’s just a lot going on out here.”
“Hey, look, just let me know if you need to talk ever. I’ve been around the block a few times, and I never sleep.”
“Thank you. But I’m fine.
I’ll be fine.”
“Alright. Enjoy the rest of your shift.”
We disconnected and I sank back into my hard metal folding chair.
Where are you?
I sat upright with a jolt. Almost robotically, I walked outside and inside the compound where Will sat on the front porch of the COC.
“Why didn’t you answer?”
“I was working.”
He looked at my suspiciously as he lit his cigarette. He took a long drag and sat down on the wall with his feet on the bench seat.
“You’ve been emailing your husband.”
“What? How did you know th-”
“Why are you emailing him?”
“I…wait, how did you know?”
“You don’t think I know what happens on your computer?”
“You’re reading my emails?!”
“Don’t contact him again. He isn’t your family anymore. You’re carrying my child. You will go back to America and get a divorce before she is born. You will not talk to him again. You will marry me so she won’t be born out of wedlock.”
My mouth dropped open and my stomach turned cold. Somewhere in the back of my brain, I laughed that this wasn’t the kind of cold I was daydreaming about experiencing.
“I can’t just stop talking to him.”
He ignored me.
“And while we are on it, I know you have access to Facebook. Don’t think you can try contacting him through that either. I’ll know.”
My brain was screaming with questions and fear.
This is the man I’m going to raise a child with? He expects me to marry him. I can’t marry this!
Will continued talking. I wasn’t capable of listening until something jarred my distractive thoughts and brought me smashing right back to earth.
“She’ll be raised Catholic.”
“But I’m not Catholic. And I’m not even sure I believe in God anymore.”
“Dumaw? War in general? I don’t want to raise my child to believe in some guy in the sky who doesn’t see the swallow fall.”
“Dumaw wasn’t a swallow.”
“It doesn’t matter, I don’t want to raise her Catholic.”
“We will raise her in the church.”
“I’m not okay with this.”
“I’m not okay with having a child with someone who doesn’t fully believe. You said you did.”
“So change them back.”
At this point, the sky was beginning to turn light blues and pinks. Will finished his cigarette and tossed the butt into the sand.
“Let’s get breakfast.”
“I’m not hungry.”
“Your daughter is. Eat something.”
We walked off to the chow hall. The sun broke as we descended the hill and I felt my back grow hot as the rays struck it. After 10 hours of darkness, my eyes strained at the bright and relentless morning sun.
Will and I went to sit in the extended tent. I walked in first and walked to side of the back-most table that faced the only entrance to the tent. Will put his hand on my shoulder.
“No, sit on the other side.”
“I can’t sit with my back to the door. We can both sit on this side.”
“Sit on the other side. I want to see your face while I eat. We need to discuss some stuff about our child.”
I slowly slid my tray to the other side and sat down with my back facing the door. Having my back to the door made me anxious. Someone could come up behind me without me knowing. I heard the door open and turned around to see who it was.
“Why are you looking at the door? Are you expecting someone?”
“No, I just can’t not look.”
We sat in silence. The door opened again. Will watched my face to see if I would look again. My eyes flickered over as someone came into my peripheral vision.
“Stop looking at other people.”
“Why does it matter if I look?”
“Why does it matter if you don’t?”
I didn’t respond. My throat began to close up and I couldn’t breathe. I was in a combat zone and I was being forced to not be aware of my surroundings. My body screamed to look as the door opened again. I didn’t and Will smiled.
“Good. See? You only need to look at me.”
I pushed the canned peaches around my plate and sunk further into myself.

Dust Collectorshttps://macdonald-esi.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/COLLECTORS-and-FILTERS_category-pict.jpg 600 600 ESI ESI https://macdonald-esi.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/COLLECTORS-and-FILTERS_category-pict.jpg
Since the 1950’s MacDonald Steel has built a strong reputation on designing, manufacturing, installing and servicing its own duct collectors and filters.
Our dust collection systems are used in many industries. For example, we design, manufacture, install and service paper scrap collectors, sand blasting filters and woodworking cyclone/dust collectors.
You can find our products in large board plants, small furniture manufactures, industrial settings and paper product manufactures
We have six types of filters:
Sizes Range around 12 000 cfm
Sizes Range from 3000 to 100 000 cfm
Sizes Range from 4000 to 130 000 cfm
Sizes Range from 4000 to 140 000 cfm
Sizes Range from 4000 to 10 000 cfm
Sizes to suit
All of our collectors are made of heavy gauge steel and where possible on piece construction for quick onsite setup. All units consist of an integral separator section where the waste is separated from the conveying air and directed to abaler, surge bin, storage area or other process equipment and a filtration section which is designed to filter dust from the conveying air before it is returned back to the plant thereby conserving energy through the reclamation of heated/conditioned air.

Google’s teasing something huge for its October 4 launch event, and it could even be the formal announcement of the project to merge Chrome and Android into one harmonious device-agnostic OS.
We already know that event will likely include a range of different devices, including its Amazon Echo competitor called Home, and a 4K version of Chromecast, but the folks at AndroidPolice think that a tweet from the company’s Senior Vice President of Android, Play, and Chrome hints at something bigger than a Pixel phone, specifically a project known as ‘Andromeda’.
“We announced the 1st version of Android 8 years ago today. I have a feeling 8 years from now we’ll be talking about Oct 4, 2016,” Hiroshi Lockheimer tweeted.
This isn’t a new concept by any means, and is admittedly a bit of a reach with nothing more than a celebratory teaser tweet as the evidence, but it’s a move that desperately needs to happen.
Odd as it seems, there’s not really any consumer electronics maker that has successfully cracked the desktop and mobile space simultaneously. Microsoft and Ubuntu are the only companies to have (publicly) given it a proper shot, and both have failed to rouse any notable interest from mass markets with their mobile OSes.
That puts Google in a prime position to make the jump before Apple does (which it will) to a single OS approach. That’s not to say it’ll be easy, Chrome is by no means a perfect desktop OS but forks like Remix’s Android OS that combine the best of the two show some genuine potential.
There’s no suggestion that the October 4 event will offer more than a glimpse of the project (previous reports suggest a 2017 timeline for launch) but a glimpse would be welcomed right now.
Or, perhaps, Lockheimer was referring to the Pixel phone and we’re all a bit too excited. Not long to wait to find out either way.
Watch: Google I/O 2016

Indigo - named for the deep shade of blue obtained from the Indian indigo plant - is a board game of intricate pathways and twists... with players competing to gather precious gems, including the blue sapphire. Game play involves laying pathways along the board on which players move gems to the exits on the board's edge. The exits can belong to them or be shared with another competitor. If the exits are shared, each player is rewarded with a gem. If it belongs to only one player, all the gems go to that player. Indigo is a quick-play game with simple instructions for two to four players, ages 8 and up. A game of intricate pathways and unexpected twists. Players build pathways and exit routes for the precious gems they are tyring to collect. Easy-to-follow Game Sparks Interactive Play Indigo features a hexagon shaped game board on which players develop gem routes to move precious stones along paths that they develop into their collection. Players can work together or separately to lay the route tiles that provide the paths they must travel on their way to exit the board with the most gems. Players can share routes and exits so that they can both benefit, but the game is won by the player who collects the most points from the gems successfully removed from the board. Players score three points for the sapphire gem, the most precious, two points for emerald gems and one for amber gems. Players Can Build Alliances to Achieve their Own Success While Indigo is a competitive game, players can work together to lay pathways in their quest to earn gems, learning about the benefit of cooperation and alliances. A strategy game that encourages players to think ahead and plan exit routes for the gems, players also learn about goal-setting, cause and effect and sharing. In some cases, shared routes mean both players earn gems rather than just one of them. Such a strategy could be the best method for winning the game. Colorful Game Engages with Gems Indigo is a hands-on game for a wide range of ages. The colorful game engages players to create a game board of treasure routes that change each time they play, since the pathways they construct will be different every game. The smooth glass gems and beautifully illustrated game board provide both tactile and visual appeal.

Halfpenny reckons Wales and the Lions are equal honours
Leigh Halfpenny is a favourite to tour with the British & Irish Lions this summer but he insists playing for Wales is just as big an honour.
Representing the Lions is often described as the pinnacle of a player's career or to take the words of 1997 coach Jim Telfer, rugby's Everest.
Halfpenny would be thrilled to secure a place on a second tour but he reckons pulling on the Three Feathers is on a level par.
"Playing for Wales is just incredible - it's everything about you, your family, friends. You are representing that," Halfpenny told the Daily Express.
"Playing for the Lions is the pinnacle of your international career but playing for Wales - it makes me just as proud pulling on that jersey.
"It is the greatest honour, equal with the Lions."
Halfpenny is seen as a shoo-in for Warren Gatland's squad, which is announced on Tuesday, following a sensational season.
The Cardiff Blues star has established himself as one of the world's finest full-backs and deadliest goal-kickers.
He was one of Wales' most consistent players in the successful defence of the RBS 6 Nations title and was subsequently named 2013 Player of the Championship.
And having been part of the Wales side that turned around an eight-match losing streak to defend their Championship crown he certainly has the mental toughness to prosper Down Under.
"We weren't playing badly, we just weren't getting the results," said Halfpenny.
"We'd had a bad run of games. We felt we hadn't played too badly on the summer tour in Australia, we felt we could have won two out of the three Tests and the games against Argentina and Samoa in the autumn.
"But we didn't achieve what we set out to achieve or what we expected of ourselves.
"The second half against Ireland was encouraging but we had chances we didn't take and we could have won it if we had.
"But after that, the character we showed to bounce back, to go to France and get the win in the style we did, was a massive achievement.
"We needed that win to give us the confidence to go out and play. It was a huge boost - there were smiles on faces, we were enjoying it again.
"We had difficult conditions in Italy, pounding down with rain, but we changed and played to the conditions with the kicking game, not too high-risk. The same against Scotland.
"And then against England, those were the conditions we had been waiting for - dry pitch, no wind - and it all came together. What a day that was, an incredible day to be involved in."
Warren Gatland and Sam Warburton look ahead to this week's crunch RBS 6 Nations tie against France, where the Wales skipper in particular is keen to make his mark, as Paris has proved a bleak place for him in the past.
Following their historic win over England, Wales Under 20 suffered a narrow, 36-34 loss to their Scottish counterparts last weekend, despite outscoring them by five tries to three. Watch the match highlights and reaction.
WRU TV go behind the scenes with the Wales squad as they put the final touches in place ahead of the clash against Scotland at Murrayfield. Follow the squad on their captain's run, the kickers visit to Murrayfield and Neil Jenkins' press conference

Portland Trail Blazers have gone with a plaid pattern just like former Trail Blazers head coach Jack Ramsay’s wardrobe. 'Rip City' above the players number is a phrase that has been used throughout time to reflect Portland’s community and we have Damien Lillard in #0.
Oklahoma City Thunder Jersey is a tribute to their playing style. Fast, bold and dynamic which is represented in the blue and orange stripes just like a tornado around the jersey. Paul George is in number #13 here for you at Culture Kings.
The New York Knicks Jersey pays great reference to the New York Fire Department and we have number #6, Kristaps Porzingis.
We have the Cleveland Cavaliers Lebron James at number #23. Their jersey has 'The Land' above the players number which is Cleveland's nickname. It also has an outline of the state of Ohio on the waistband.
Lastly we have the San Antonio Spurs number #2, Kawai Leonard. Their City Jersey has gone camo, as the city's nickname is Military USA. The camouflage print honours the servicemen and servicewomen of the U.S.

text: No, your Prefuse 73 CD is not skipping. It's just the wizard of schizophrenic enterprise, Scott Herren (who also records as Delarosa & Asora, Savath & Savalas, Piano Overlord, and La Coreccion), flashing his mixing skills. On Surrounded by Silence, his fourth Prefuse album, Herren scratches and knob-twiddles his way through a back catalog of beats, vocals, and samples, citing more sources than a doctoral dissertation. This time, he also features a laundry list of contemporaries, sidling up next to Aesop Rock, Beans, Broadcast, the Books, Kazu from Blonde Redhead, and more. Their presence is recognizable, in a Cuisinarted-and-sutured-back-together kinda way. With rhyme masters El-P and Ghostface in the limelight, "HideYaFace" is the best hip-hop single released in at least a year, and Masta Killa and GZA's "Just the Thought" follows close behind. Prefuse's friendly alliance of hip-hop with everything else is innovative and addictive. Herren's thoughtful splicing of encyclopedic influences into his own vision makes him one of the most talented, forward-thinking artists around. Luckily for us, a follow-up is already in the works and will feature Tunde from TV on the Radio, Madlib, Diplo, Four Tet, and Mia Doi Todd, among others.

Improved Soil Structure
The undisturbed soil structure is a significant advantage of no till gardening. When soil is tilled, its particles are broken apart, resulting in a compacted, clumpy texture. In contrast, the soil structure remains intact in a no till garden. This allows for the formation of aggregates, or soil crumbs, which create pathways for air, water, and root penetration. The presence of these aggregates promotes better drainage, nutrient absorption, and root development. The improved soil structure also enhances the stability and resilience of the garden ecosystem.
Increased Water Retention
No till gardening significantly improves water retention in the soil. The undisturbed soil layers act as a natural sponge, capable of absorbing and holding water for longer periods. When organic matter, such as mulch or compost, is added to the soil surface, it acts as a protective layer, reducing evaporation and preventing water loss. This increased water retention benefits plants, especially during dry periods, by ensuring a consistent moisture supply to the roots. It also helps reduce the frequency of irrigation, conserving water resources.
Enhanced Nutrient Cycling
In a no till garden, the organic matter, such as plant residues and mulch, decomposes gradually. This decomposition process is facilitated by the activity of beneficial soil organisms, such as earthworms, fungi, and bacteria. As the organic matter breaks down, nutrients are released into the soil, becoming available for plant uptake. This natural nutrient cycling helps maintain a balanced and nutrient-rich soil environment, reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers. Additionally, the presence of organic matter improves the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the soil, enhancing its ability to retain and supply nutrients to plants.
No till gardening contributes to carbon sequestration, an essential process in mitigating climate change. When the soil is left undisturbed, the organic matter within it remains intact. This organic matter contains carbon, which, if left undisturbed, can be stored in the soil for extended periods. By practicing no till gardening, you can actively promote the accumulation of carbon in the soil, reducing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. This process helps combat climate change and supports the long-term sustainability of our planet.
By embracing the principles of no till gardening, you can reap these remarkable benefits while fostering a more sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to gardening.
Maintaining a No Till Garden
Once your no till garden is established, it requires regular maintenance to thrive. Here are some key practices to keep in mind:
Choosing the Right Location
When starting a no till garden, selecting the right location is crucial for the success of your plants. Choose an area that receives ample sunlight, as most vegetables and flowers require at least six hours of direct sunlight each day. Adequate sunlight ensures proper photosynthesis and healthy plant growth. Additionally, consider the drainage of the area. Avoid low-lying spots that are prone to waterlogging, as excessive moisture can harm plant roots. Good soil drainage allows water to move freely and prevents the roots from becoming waterlogged.
Preparing the Soil
Preparing the soil in a no till garden involves minimal disturbance and focuses on building organic matter. Begin by clearing the area of any existing vegetation and removing weeds. This can be done by manually pulling out weeds or covering the area with a thick layer of cardboard or newspaper to smother them. Avoid the use of chemical herbicides, as they can harm beneficial organisms and disrupt the ecological balance.
Next, add a layer of organic matter to the soil surface. This can include compost, well-rotted manure, leaf mulch, straw, or a combination of these materials. Spread the organic matter evenly to a depth of about two to three inches. As the organic matter decomposes over time, it enriches the soil with nutrients, improves its structure, and promotes the growth of beneficial soil organisms.
Choosing the right plants is essential for a successful no till garden. Consider the climate and growing conditions of your region when selecting plants. Native species or those adapted to your specific climate tend to thrive better in a no till environment. Research the sunlight requirements, water needs, and spacing recommendations for each plant. This information will help you plan the layout of your garden and ensure that plants are positioned appropriately for optimal growth.
In a no till garden, companion planting can also be beneficial. Certain plants have symbiotic relationships, where one plant can deter pests or provide nutrients to another. By strategically planting compatible species together, you can enhance pest control and nutrient availability naturally.
Mulching is an essential practice in no till gardening. After planting, apply a layer of organic mulch around your plants. This can be straw, wood chips, shredded leaves, or any other suitable material. Mulch helps conserve soil moisture by reducing evaporation, suppresses weed growth, and moderates soil temperature. It also acts as a barrier between the soil and the air, preventing erosion and maintaining a more stable soil environment.
Remember to replenish the mulch layer periodically as it breaks down over time. This ensures that its benefits are consistently provided to the plants and soil.
Troubleshooting Common Issues in No Till Gardening
Despite your best efforts, you may encounter some challenges in your no till garden. Here are two common issues and their solutions:
Soil compaction can be a concern in any garden, including a no till garden. Compacted soil restricts root growth, impedes water infiltration, and hampers nutrient absorption. To address soil compaction in a no till garden, you can take the following steps:
- Aeration: If you notice signs of soil compaction, such as poor drainage or stunted plant growth, consider aerating the soil. Gently loosen the soil by using a garden fork, being careful not to disturb the soil layers too deeply. This process creates small channels that improve air circulation and water movement.
- Avoid Excessive Traffic: Minimize walking or working on the garden beds to prevent unnecessary soil compaction. Utilize designated pathways or stepping stones to access different areas of the garden.
- Cover Crops: Incorporate cover crops, such as legumes or grasses, into your no till garden rotation. Cover crops help break up compacted soil with their deep roots and improve soil structure over time.
