Veterinary Microbiologist Salary and Career Outlook
Veterinary microbiologists are responsible for studying a variety of disease-causing microorganisms including viruses, bacteria, and parasites.
Veterinary microbiologists are veterinarians that specialize in the study of microorganisms that cause infectious disease in animal species. These disease-causing agents may include bacteria, viruses, toxins, and parasites.
A veterinary microbiologist’s duties may vary based upon their specific area of interest but generally will include examining animal tissues and fluids, conducting advanced laboratory analysis with microscopes and other specialized equipment, and providing professional consultations when requested by general practitioners. Most veterinary microbiologists work in a laboratory setting and keep regular office hours.
Veterinary microbiologists are often involved with the development of vaccines, drugs, and other animal health products. They may also conduct scientific research studies and publish the results in professional peer-reviewed journals.
Veterinary microbiologists can specialize in several areas such as bacteriology, mycology, virology, parasitology, or immunology. They may also focus their research on one specific animal species or group of interest.
Veterinary microbiologists may find employment with a variety of organizations including commercial manufacturers of animal health products, colleges and universities, diagnostic laboratories, research laboratories, and government agencies. Positions may include research, product development, teaching, or advisory roles.
Education & Training
Veterinary microbiologists must complete a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree and additional requirements before being qualified to sit for the certification exam in this specialty area. Provided that a candidate has two diplomates willing to sponsor their application, there are a few educational routes by which they may qualify for the exam.
The first route requires a candidate to have completed a Ph.D. degree with a major emphasis in veterinary microbiology (which includes bacteriology, mycology, parasitology, virology, and immunology). The second route requires a candidate to have completed a Master’s degree along with significant additional experience equal to that which would be earned by a Ph.D. candidate. This additional experience could include full-time research roles, teaching at a university, or practice in a diagnostic laboratory.
The third route does not require a Master’s or Ph.D. degree, but the candidate must have equivalent experience and demonstrate increasing levels of responsibility in their role.
The board certification exam itself is comprised of two parts. The first is a general microbiology exam (with 240 multiple choice questions). The second is a specialty exam in one of four areas: bacteriology/mycology, virology, immunology, or parasitology. The specialty exams consist of 100 multiple choice questions that test practical knowledge using slides and other visual aids. Candidates may take one, two, three, or all four specialty exams with the approval of the American College of Veterinary Microbiologists (ACVM) board within a five year period.
After completing the general and specialty phases of the exam, the candidate must submit at least 10 potential questions for possible use on future exams. If successful in all areas, a candidate is granted diplomate status in the field of veterinary microbiology.
The ACVM administers the certifying exam for the veterinary microbiology specialty in the United States. The American Veterinary Medical Association reported that there were 216 diplomates in the field of veterinary microbiology during the survey conducted in December of 2011. There were 42 specialists in bacteriology/microbiology, 48 specialists in immunology, 60 specialists in general microbiology, and 66 specialists in virology.
Veterinary microbiologists can expect to earn high-end salaries. Most veterinary specialists earn over $100,000 per year depending on the nature of their employment. Private industry positions tend to have the greatest levels of compensation for research and development roles.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) salary survey for general (non-veterinary) microbiologists indicated that the median salary for these scientists was $65,920 per year in the 2010 survey. The lowest ten percent earned less than $39,180 per year while the highest ten percent earned more than $115,720 per year.
While the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) does not separate the specialty of veterinary microbiology from the data collected for all veterinary careers, the most recent survey does indicate that there will be a pattern of steady growth for the entire profession of veterinary medicine. The projected rate of growth is estimated to be greater than 36 percent, a rate much faster than the average rate of growth for all professions. This should ensure strong job prospects for all veterinary students who graduate and enter professional practice.
The extremely small number of certified veterinary microbiologists should translate to very strong demand for those who are able to complete the rigorous qualifications and testing to become certified in this specialty field.

Derek Gardner (September 19, 1931 - January 7, 2011) was a designer, first creating advanced transmission systems for Ferguson Research, and later entire cars for Tyrrell Racing. He started out developing four-wheel drive systems for Ferguson, to license the technology to constructors of all terrain vehicles. He was part of the group that designed the Ferguson P99, to date the only four-wheel drive car to win a Formula One race, the 1961 International Gold Cup with Stirling Moss at the wheel.
Gardner met Ken Tyrrell when Ferguson was contracted by Matra to help design their four-wheel drive Matra MS84 Formula One car. The car was not a success, but Gardner and Tyrrell worked well together, and in 1970, when Tyrrell decided to build his own car, he offered the job of designer to Gardner. Anxious for a change, Gardner leapt at the chance.


Tejas is a light 4++ generation war plane. It is designed to intercept and engage hostile jet and to perform combat air patrol, surveillance, close air support, hitting enemy positions with precision guided ammunition in some cases as a deep penetration strike fighter.
A multi role aircraft like Tejas can perform various types of role in war with a combat radius of 500 km.
The 500 km combat radius includes 3 tons of weapon load and maintaining a height of 30,000 ft(the more altitude it gain its combat radius or fuel efficiency will increase subsequently or vice versa).
Tejas role as a interceptor:
In an Air to Air configuration Tejas can carry two R-73 and four Derby-ER missile along with a drop tank.With the help of quadruplex digital fly by wire and helmet mounted sight It will perform very well in within visual range engagement.
With a Multi mode radar and Derby ER missile with a range of 100 km it has the capability to take out any hostile aircraft in beyond visual range engagement. Mark1A version will incorporate an AESA radar so in BVR combat its efficiency will increase.
Combat air patrol:
During a conflict Tejas will carry out sorties to defend air bases from enemy raids. In an Air to Air configuration it will carry two R-73, two Derby-ER missile and two 800 liter drop tanks and it will achieve a endurance of 1 hour 24 minutes without any in flight refueling.
Tejas armed with AN/AAQ-28(V) Lightening targeting pod will be able to monitor ground targets or enemy movement. It can also be used as a secondary armed reconnaissance fighter. The lightening pod included a forward looking high resolution infrared camera.
Tejas armed with Lightening Pod-
Tejas role in providing close air support:
Tejas will hit its target with pin point accuracy with laser guided bomb. Air force will deploy it to destroy well fortified enemy bunkers and hostile artillery positions.
Tejas role in Hitting enemy positions: Apart from laser guided bomb Tejas can also carry 500 kg gravity bombs.
In a bombing configuration Tejas will carry four 500kg bomb, two R-73 missile, one targeting pod and one drop tank. It can be operated from forward landing bases of western sector or eastern sector to hit hostile infrastructure, ammunition depot or airfield.
Its advance cockpit will allow it to hit targets with precision.
Tejas role as a deep penetration strike fighter:
In a strike configuration Tejas will carry two R-73 missile, three high explosive 500kg bombs, litening pod and two drop tanks for deep penetration strike.Its superior multi mode radar will allow it to engage ground and air targets simultaneously.
Tejas will also have a Inflight refueling probe which will increase its combat radius to nearly 800+ km. Through buddy refueling process it can stay in the air for longer period of time.
These are the several reasons we feel that the LCA will be one of the best fighter jets for India to include in any warfare. The above answer was explained on Quora by Uttam Mahatta.

A couple of weeks ago, during my reading Wednesday blog, I shared that I was reading Stephen King’s On Writing. I finished the book and cannot rave enough about this treasure. King entwined stories about his life with tips on writing throughout the book. Fascinating and readable, this book captivated me from beginning to end. Interspersed with stories of selling copies of his first stories to voracious, young readers are tips about writing such as write every day and give yourself some time between writing and editing. But even as important, he admonishes writers to read and read often. He shared that he not only reads every time he has a chance, but he listens to audiobooks when he can’t read the printed word. King surrounds himself with stories, both on the written page as well as from the audio side. I sat back and digested this information. I try to read books whenever I have the chance, but there are long stretches when I’m in a car and would have an opportunity to listen to an audiobook. Why not give this tip a chance? I visited my local library (where I often write) and picked up two audiobooks. For the past three days, I’ve been listening to Carolyn Hart’s Set Sail for Murder. At present, I’m on disc three of seven. And to my great surprise, I’m enjoying the audiobook. I also checked out Jude Deveraux’s Someone to Love audio CD set.
I remember reading Set Sail for Murder a long time ago. Ms. Hart is one of my favorite mystery writers and I’ve read almost every book she’s written. I’ve also had the pleasure of attending one of her autograph sessions and lectures. I cannot praise her enough for her dedication to the mystery genre, generosity to other writers, and love of books. I must admit that I confused this Henrie O novel with Dead Man’s Island, a book that was adapted into a TV movie starring Barbara Eden and William Shatner and a guilty pleasure TV movie for me. This audiobook, however, tells a different story, but one that is equally enthralling. I’ve enjoyed the plot and the narration by Kate Reading is top notch.
But what’s especially fun about an audiobook is that you have to listen to the words. Ms. Hart paints a picture that I’m noting more with the audio version than the first time I read the book in print. She uses descriptive words to shape portraits of each character. I’m seeing them all in my head as much, if not more, than if I were reading about them.
But, of course, I’m also reading print books and Kindle books as well. I have finished Stephen King’s On Writing and highly recommend the book. Well worth the time whether you are a writer, a fan, or a reader, this book reads more like a narrative story than a dry tome on tips about writing. Since finishing On Writing, I am enjoying Rock Your Plot and Rock Your Revisions, two craft books about writing by Cathy Yardley. They both deal with plotting stories to weave a writer’s book more efficiently and more succinctly. I’m also reading Mistletoe Cinderella by Georgia Romance Writers member Tanya Michaels. This is the second of a four set series of books all written by Michaels set in the fictional town of Mistletoe. It’s a cute and rather quick read.
My main focus this week was to share the enjoyment I’m finding in listening to books. What a wonderful tip from Stephen King. I’m already figuring out what books I’d like to listen to after these two. I have nixed nonfiction for the simple reason that fiction is easier to listen to in a car.
Do you listen to audiobooks? If you do, why? If not, why not? Let me know.

— The state Department of Revenue has selected a new company to encrypt the sensitive information in its servers, interim Director Bill Blume told a state Senate subcommittee Tuesday. Blume said the agency has signed a $5 million contract with the Massachusetts-based firm EMC. Blume revealed the new contract during a meeting of a Senate committee investigating the DOR breach that compromised the personal information of more than 3.8 million taxpayers. Blume says he’s trying to change the culture of an agency that did not view cyber-security as a priority until it was too late.
— Senators remain stuck on a proposed election ballot fix, according to WLTX-TV. Lawmakers are trying to pass a bill that would clear up conflicting language in state law that caused over 250 candidates to be kicked off the ballot last May. However, the body is currently in a stalemate as some senators want to reform the system entirely, while others just want to close the loophole that caused the problem in the first place.
— Senators gave initial approval to a bill that would effectively allow deer to be hunted via baiting in the Upstate. The proposal is needed because of a loophole in state law that does not allow baiting, but lets hunters kill deer attracted to bait. However, the vote was not along party lines and was a relatively close 22-17. Some senators said they opposed the bill because wildlife officials believe baiting increases the spread of deer diseases. (Background of bill when it passed through subcommittee two weeks ago)
— Lawmakers will have to somehow find an additional $84 million to cover the rising costs of state workers’ health insurance, The State newspaper reports. That’s nearly double the increase that was set aside for this current budget year. The additional cost also means employees are facing a 4.5 percent increase in their insurance premiums. The paper writes that the biggest contributor is rising prescription medication costs.
— The president of a prominent conservative think-tank is once again accusing House Speaker Bobby Harrell of ethical misconduct. South Carolina Policy Council President Ashley Landess revealed 2006 emails from a state Board of Pharmacy member who questioned if Harrell was using undue influence to get a permit for a pharmaceutical company he owns. Harrell calls the accusation ridiculous, saying that he specifically asked to be treated no differently than any other business.
— Two Republicans advanced to a runoff for an open seat in the South Carolina House. Travelers Rest businessman Mike Burns nearly won the race outright, but fell just short of a majority with 49.6 percent of the vote. Second-place finisher Chris Sullivan, a political consultant, finished with 39 percent of the vote. Burns and Sullivan will match up again on February 5. They are seeking to replace former Rep. Tom Corbin, who was elected to the state Senate in November. No Democrat is running for the seat.
— A state-run plan that allows parents to set aside money for their children’s college tuition tax-free had significant growth last month, according to State Treasurer Curtis Loftis. Loftis said 5,000 families signed up for the program in December, a 46 percent increase over December 2011. Loftis credited a lower minimum needed to invest and lower fees.
— The House unanimously approved a resolution that would request the South Carolina Budget & Control Board to turn over a former National Guard armory to the town of Clover. The Guard closed the armory last year and no longer has any plans for the site. Clover officials hope to revamp the building into a community center. Background in the Rock Hill Herald.

At the end of a season, basketball coaches often tell their squads that while teams are made during the season, players are made during the off-season. Although all the Blue Devil players probably heeded this advice, two stand above the rest with respect to off-season work.
The two early-season favorites for the most-improved Duke players are Lee Melchionni and DeMarcus Nelson, both of whom were forced to shift positions last season and step into bigger roles than anticipated. But after a summer of toil, it looks as if the two have made huge strides since Duke bowed out against Michigan State in March, judging from the Blue-White scrimmage Oct. 22 and the first exhibition game Nov. 3.
Melchionni, who was the biggest surprise for the Blue Devils last year when he became a consistent three-point threat and averaged 7.7 points per game, looks like he might have an even silkier shot this year. His range looks better, too. The senior hit five-of-10 from deep against Concordia and seemed to be looking for his own shot more than he did last year.
"I think I established myself a little bit last year, and I'm not trying to prove anything this year," Melchionni said after the blowout win over Concordia. "I know what I can do, I'm confident out there, and that makes it a lot easier to take shots and hit shots."
Although head coach Mike Krzyzewski said after the game that he was displeased with Melchionni's shot selection against the Stingers, he knows better than anyone that if Lee can consistently drill the long-range shot, the rest of the offense opens up immensely.
Nelson's shot, athleticism and flat-out scoring ability will also help loosen up opposing defenses. Last season, when he was hampered by an injured thumb and a few other ailments, Nelson still managed to put up 6.2 points and 4.5 rebounds per game.
But the sophomore guard was never able to get into a shooting rhythm (he shot just 40 percent) and struggled when putting the ball on the floor. He was called for a number of offensive fouls when he drove the lane and found out that college defenses collapse quicker than what he was used to in California high school ball.
Now a sophomore, Nelson looks like a different player this year. His shot is falling-including a 7-for-11, 15 point effort against Concordia-and he appears more comfortable with the ball in his hands.
"He is a good player," Krzyzewski said. "He did a nice job for us last year but he's a veteran player right now."
Both Melchionni and Nelson will benefit this season by the return to their natural positions on the wing. Last season, the undermanned Blue Devils were forced to play small when Shavlik Randolph was sick, in foul trouble or just unproductive. Melchionni and Nelson shouldered the brunt of the challenge and were asked to play power forward, taking them away from their respective strengths. On defense Nelson and Melchionni were forced to bang down low and rebound more.
The two should be commended for their sacrifices last year. They surely benefited from the experience-but the team will be better off with Melchionni stroking threes and Nelson slashing to the basket.
The two are key to the success of the Blue Devils this year. Everyone knows what J.J. Redick and Shelden Williams can and will do this season. They are the obvious stars on the team, but they need support. If Redick does not have room to breathe on the outside and Williams is facing double-teams in the post, other Duke players will need to rise to the occasion and carry the load.
The top two freshmen, Josh McRoberts and Greg Paulus, will be great during their time in Durham, but at this point they are still learning Coach K's offense. In addition, neither McRoberts nor Paulus operates on the wing, where the scoring punch will have to come from to stretch opposing defenses.
As veterans with the offensive skills to do exactly that, it is up to Lee and DeMarcus to lead the second tier of Duke players. With their respective shooting ability and athleticism, Melchionni and Nelson will have to be the guys who make opponents think twice before double teaming Redick and Williams.
Having two All-Americans is obviously a great thing, but it will be the less-heralded Blue Devils-namely Melchionni and Nelson-who will determine whether this team will still be playing in April.

Christopher Nolan returns to complete the Gotham trilogy that launched with Batman Begins and reached the stratosphere with the billion dollar blockbuster The Dark Knight.
It has been eight years since Batman vanished into the night, turning, in that instant, from hero to fugitive. Assuming the blame for the death of D.A. Harvey Dent, the Dark Knight sacrificed everything for what he and Commissioner Gordon both hoped was the greater good. For a time the lie worked, as criminal activity in Gotham City was crushed under the weight of the anti-crime Dent Act. But everything will change with the arrival of a cunning cat burglar with a mysterious agenda.
Far more dangerous, however, is the emergence of Bane, a masked terrorist whose ruthless plans for Gotham drive Bruce out of his self-imposed exile. But even if he dons the cape and cowl again, Batman may be no match for Bane.
Christian Bale once again prowls the night as the Caped Crusader, fighting crime and corruption with the help of Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman. Inception stars Marion Cotillard and Joseph Gordon-Levitt join the cast regulars along with Anne Hathaway as Selina Kyle (Catwoman) and Tom Hardy as the powerful villain Bane.


The Martin Baltimore was developed from its predecessor the Martin 167 Maryland to meet specific British requirements. It was used with distinction by a number of Allied air forces in Europe, and was liked by its pilots for its superior performance and great structural strength. One drawback that it shared with the Maryland was the very narrow fuselage, which made it virtually impossible for crew members to change position in flight if injured.

Bassingbourn Report - Make It Public By Christmas
3 December 2014, 14:18 | Updated: 3 December 2014, 14:21
The MoD has been told to make initial findings into the circumstances around the alleged Libyan cadet assaults in Cambridge to be made public by Christmas.
Talks were held on Monday between Cambridge City Council, South Cambridgeshire District Council, Cambridgeshire County Council and the Ministry of Defence.
The discussions were a part of the MoD review initiated by the Prime Minister into the circumstances behind the recent alleged assaults in Cambridge by Libyan cadet soldiers.
Earlier this month Cambridge City Council received a letter from the army apologising for the seriousness of the events which occurred in Cambridge.
This followed an earlier letter from Cllr Lewis Herbert, Leader of Cambridge City Council, to the Prime Minister in which he raised questions about the incidents and about the absence of communication from the MoD with the council.
Cllr Herbert also called on the Prime Minister to set up an independent inquiry to ensure that questions from the council and residents, and potentially victims of the alleged serious attacks, would get full and public answers. The council also wrote to the commanding officer at Bassingbourn barracks.
Cllr Herbert said:
"We had a constructive discussion about the issues and the review that is being carried out by the Ministry of Defence.
Leading councillors from the three councils, and local councillors for the areas worst affected, left the review team in no doubt about who we hold responsible for the serious events that occurred and the failure to respond to obvious risks and clear warning signals.
The three councils will be following up with a joint letter to the Secretary of State for Defence, including asking for the review’s initial report to be made public at Christmas.
The city council says again that an independent inquiry to ensure that questions from the council, residents and also, potentially, from victims of the alleged serious attacks, is the only way the whole truth will come out.
It is the only way that those who suffered dreadful attacks, and our local residents, will obtain the answers from the Ministry of Defence they are fully entitled to."

The FNA Group produces a full line of SIMPSON® premium residential, commercial and industrial pressure washers in its state-of-the art 228,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Northwest Arkansas. With so many available options, choosing the best pressure washer for your needs may seem a bit overwhelming. There are a few things to consider when choosing your pressure washer, such as the application or use, how much PSI and GPM you will need for the job, how often you plan on using your washer, and for how long during a day or single job you will be using your machine. By identifying these primary reasons, choosing the right one will be a much simpler task.
With many options such as electric or gas powered, direct drive or belt drive, and mobility, choosing the best pressure washer for your needs may seem overwhelming. If you have any questions, please contact us here or call our toll-free number 877-362-4271.
With an electric motor, you are typically going to get a quieter machine that is more portable. In most cases it will require less maintenance, such as not needing to change the oil for the engine and pump, and no use of gasoline. You will also have the ability to use it inside of your home if the need arises, but that is highly not recommended. Electric motor pressure washers are typically less powerful than their gas engine counterparts, but still have plenty of power to get the job done.
Gas engine pressure washers vary greatly in size and weight, but SIMPSON® has a variety of machines that can be handled by any individual. With most of our pressure washers equipped with Premium Pneumatic or never-flat tires, you will be able to get your machine from point A to point B with ease. With a gas engine you are not confined by cords and outlets, which allow you to use your pressure washer in a wider variety of places. These machines are usually going to be the hardier machines over the electric motor pressure washers.
When deciding what pressure washer you want to choose, factor in the application or what you expect to clean. With variations in nozzle types and detergents, a cold water pressure washer will be sufficient for most of your needs. This would be for tasks that include applications such as decks, patios, sidewalks, house siding, barns, fences, and driveways. These are typically associated with jobs that require washing caked-on- mud, sand, mildew and stripping paint. SIMPSON® also offers a variety of accessories that can assist in you in making your task easier with products such as our Dial-N-Wash Pressure Regulator and Second Story Nozzles.
Hot water pressure washers will be most useful for tasks such as blasting away grease and oil. These materials require the heat to break them away from the surface they are attached to versus a cold water pressure washer, which will most likely only move these materials around without removing them. SIMPSON® hot water pressure washers will typically be useful for tasks such as car garages for oil and grease, along with other heavy duty debris that requires more than just soap or detergent as an agitator. SIMPSON® has hot water machines available with gas powered engines and electric motors.
Direct Drive pressure washers are usually less expensive than a belt-drive. They are typically going to take up less space than a belt-driven pressure washer. Direct drive pressure washer are ideal if your choice comes down to belt vs. direct drive and you are going to use your machine as a need to wash or casual basis and not so much on a regular/daily basis.
Belt-Drive washers are better suited for jobs that require several hours of use a day for several days out of the week. The belt-drive helps displace the heat, so your machine will operate at a lower temperature. It will also absorb vibration from the motor and function at a lower RPM, lessening the wear and tear on your machine. This helps with the belt-drive’s longevity and maintenance.
Axial cam pumps are direct drive pumps, meaning they spin at the same speed and rotate in the same direction as the engine because they are directly connected to the drive shaft. The angle of the swash plate leads to the rotation of the pistons, causing one side to pull the water through the pump, while the other side expels the water. Axial cam pumps are typically smaller and more compact than triplex plunger pumps. Our OEM Technologies™ Axial Cam pumps are maintenance free with an integrated unloader, and a thermal relief valve to help alleviate some of the heat generated from use. These pumps are typically geared towards casual use and not heavy duty use for hours a day, every day.
Triplex plunger pumps are typically geared towards commercial/industrial use due to their design, which is similar to a car engine, using a crankshaft and connecting rod. The pistons pull the water in and push it out of the pump as the pistons alternate with each stroke. Triplex plunger pumps are typically more efficient, as they do not operate at the same RPM as the engine keeping the pump at cooler operating temperature than the axial cam pump. Our AAA™ Triplex pumps come with ceramic or ceramic coated pistons for improved seal life. With easier access to the pump head, triplex pumps make it easier to replace valves and their life span is correlated to how well you maintain the pump.

Wonder-App DaviPlata Undergoes Major Expansion in Customer Support to Massively Boost Financial Inclusion in Colombia
Colombia’s digital-banking maverick, Banco Davivienda, has strengthened its position through fully exploiting its app DaviPlata to meet the challenges imposed by the pandemic. By simplifying processes such as completing retail purchases to receiving government funds, DaviPlata has succeeded in financially including much of the population.
Produbanco, one of Ecuador’s top banks, has positioned itself as a leader in achieving two equally important goals: digital innovation and sustainability. Focused on both today and tomorrow, this dynamic bank is committed to meeting its customers’ current needs while ensuring that the bank of the future is better than the one of today.
Brazil is among the countries most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and its banking sector has been tasked with providing urgently needed financial support to its hard-hit individual and corporate customers. One bank that has stood out during the crisis has been Banco de Brasília S.A. (BRB), serving the Federal District. BRB recently changed its strategy and has met the challenge head-on through timely and successful innovation, leading by example.

Few countries in the world can lay claim to having more experience with sovereign defaults than Argentina.

It’s been an eventful last few months for Bolivia, especially since October, when then-President Evo Morales, the country’s leader for more than 13 years, was forced from his position on the back of a disputed election. One of the most economically successful of Latin America’s new crop of leftist leaders who emerged in the new millennium, Morales, a member of the Aymara indigenous group, presided over more than a decade of robust economic growth.

Brazil’s economy is emerging from a difficult few years—but when analysing its prospects, a positive, long-term view is warranted, based on the country’s important position in world trade. With a little help from its friends and its own internal enterprise, this major South American economy, the world’s ninth largest by nominal GDP, has every reason to expect a triumphant comeback.

The woes if of the Member of Parliament (MP) for Akropong Constituency Hon. Nana Ama Dokua Asiamah Adjei are far from over as her bet to lead the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has in a dramatic turn of events pulled out of the contest.
Mr. Frank Appiah who earlier had his fliers on social media in readiness for the constituency contest, has instead settled to contest for Eastern Regional 2nd Vice Chairman suggesting the grounds at the local level were not fertile for his re-election.
The constituency chairman has been a staunch ally to the MP and was fingered for orchestrating the removal of key contenders of the MP in the 2020 race including Lawyer Philip Addison and Mr. Twumasi
It is unclear how the MP and the Chairman fell out but sources close to the Constituency Chairman reveals he has been unhappy with the MP in recent times after being accused by the MP of playing a double game and taking monies from the MPs potential opponents. Allegations the constituency Chairman flatly denies and also accuses the MP of being ungrateful for all his sacrifices and risking his political future for her.
The Chairman’s latest move has shocked many party supporters and has become the talk of town.
With this unexpected move, the MP appears stranded and is expected to raise a new candidate to turn her fortunes around and that of her slate as the husband, Charles Bissue is also facing serious troubles in his bid to become NPP General Secretary.


text: The partitioning of Fe, Ni and Co between Mg-rich olivine, lunar basaltic liquid and metal has been measured over a range of temperatures and pressures. The results of the olivine/metal partitioning may be compared to those predicted from thermodynamic calculation; in general, the agreement is good, although the calculated distribution coefficients are slightly greater then those experimentally determined. This discrepancy increases with increasing temperature and pressure, but it is not possible to ascertain unambiguously which thermodynamic data might be responsible. At lower temperatures, inversion of the equilibria to yield "cosmothermometers" for measuring the temperature of equilibration between olivine and metal gives results for the pallasite meteorites in excellent agreement with independent estimates. The results have been applied to Apollo 15 Green Glass, presumed to approximate a primitive melt from the lunar mantle, to deduce the composition of Fe-Ni-Co metal in equilibrium with the lunar mantle. This composition is approximately (by weight) 54-60% Fe, 38-45% Ni and 1% Co; consequently, if metal has separated from the lunar mantle under equilibrium conditions to form a small lunar core, this core will be nickel rich, with a Ni/Fe ratio of ~0.7 ±0.15.

More from the WTCC race yesterday. The first 60 seconds with driver interviews and ball busting is hilarious. Yeah, the whole NASCAR looking lineup on the track was frustrating, but the drivers thought they were within their rights to do so. Not surprised that FIA spanked them though. Looked shitty. Muller's international way of saying "no comment," is um, interesting.

Sale Deed denotes the performance of a legal document required for validating a transaction of purchasing a property between a seller and purchaser. It is regulated under the provisions of section 54 of the Transfer of Property Act 1882. In this article, we shall discuss the sale deed format and the process to draft it.
Sale refers to the transaction of transfer of ownership in exchange for a price, paid or promised or partly paid or partly promised. In Sale, a seller decides to sell a property to another person on an immediate basis, and if the transfer is made for some future date, then it will be called an agreement for sale.
Sales Deed is a written document that serves as a legal proof of transfer and will include details concerning transfer of ownership. Further, it is enforced by the provisions of the registration act and is made on a non-judicial stamp paper of a particular value as specified by the government.
The parties to this deed includes seller or transferor and buyer or transferee. Both parties must get the deed registered within 4 months time of execution and sign it.
The benefits of this deed are as follows:
A registered deed allows the regulatory authorities to keep an eye on any fraudulent transactions concerning properties.
Such a deed has evidentiary value, which means either of the parties can establish the validity and the title of the document in a court of law.
Such deed establishes title over the new owner of the property.
Such deed contains the details about the cost involved in transferring the property, which makes the process of calculating tax easier.
The essential components are as follows:
The process to draft and register is provided below:
The applicant should seek the assistance of a lawyer to know the requirements of this deed.
Draft a Sale Deed-
Now, based upon such discussion, lawyer will draft the deed in 3 to 4 days, and afterwards, he will send the draft to you for review and approval.

Once it is approved, the lawyer will get the deed printed on a non-judicial stamp paper of the value prescribed by the government.
Fix appointment with the sub-registrar-
Fix an appointment with the sub-registrar within whom the property is located.
Register the deed-
The applicant can then visit the sub-registrar’s office along with his lawyer and two witnesses to sign the document. It is worth mentioning here that if you don’t register this deed then you are taking a huge risk as an unregistered deed can’t be submitted in a court of law as evidence. If any dispute arises in future with respect to the ownership, rights, liabilities of the property then you cannot use the deed to be submitted as evidence. You won’t be recognized as the rightful owner.
Finally, the sub-registrar issues a registered deed to the applicant.
According to section 55 of Transfer of Property Act, seller and buyer must make certain disclosures and representations in the Sale Deed. A seller needs to make the following disclosures to the buyer:
In a nutshell, sale deed is an essential document that validates the transaction of purchasing a property between a seller and purchaser. Further, it is enforced by the provisions under the Registration Act of India and is executed on the Non-judicial stamp paper of a specific value.

Tension between Turkey and Israel has intensified as Cyprus plans to buy more advanced military systems from Israel.
Northern Cyprus, officially the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, is a de facto state that comprises the northeastern portion of the island of Cyprus. Recognized only by Turkey, Northern Cyprus is considered by all other states to be part of the Republic of Cyprus. The tension between Turkey and Cyprus revolves around this thorny issue.
A few weeks ago, the Israeli ministry of defence issued a statement on a GTG agreement between Israel and Cyprus that involves the supply of a land surveillance system, built by Israeli company Elbit Systems, to Cyprus. The deal was signed by Head of the Directorate for International Defence Cooperation (SIBAT) in the Israeli MOD , Brig. Gen. (Res.) Yair Kulas, with the Cypriot Ministry of Defense.
According to sources, the new defence procurement of Israeli systems by Cyprus is happening with a silent approval of Washington that is bent on “teaching Turkey a lesson’ for its policy of acting against the interests of NATO. Washington. it may be recalled, had cancelled the deal to sell F-35 jet to Turkey after Ankara purchased the Russian-made S-400 air defence system. Since then, relations between the two NATO members have been tense.
Israeli sources say that in addition to the deal with Elbit Systems, the Cypriots have expressed their interest in more Israeli made systems for improving the island’s capability to deter aggression. Cyprus’ interest in Israeli defence systems is not surprising. Regional cooperation between Israel, Greece and Cyprus, in place since 2016, serves the three countries mainly on the defence side but also on other issues .
With more than 25 years of experience in defence publishing, Global Business Press and its industry leading titles Asian Defence Technology, Asian Airlines & Aerospace and Daily News are the leading defence publications in the region, present at more international shows and exhibitions than any other competing publication in the region.

It has only been a month or so when BMW introduced their 8-Series Coupe, the news has it that BMW is all set to launch another special version of it. According to the BMW, M850i xDrive Coupe is getting a new look with a brand-new Frozen Barcelona Blue metallic paint.
It is being expected that almost 400 such coupes will be produced during April and June of this year at the BMW Dingolfing plant.
You must be thinking that it paints the only change in this new edition then NO. A lot more is happening, and you will be amazed by it.
BMW has installed 20-inch light weighted M allow wheels, and they are in jet Black color. Also, there is full leather trim Merino in the Ivory White/Night Blue combination in this car.
Also, a list of other goodies is added in this new 8 series coupe which is the Bower and Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System, glass application on the iDrive controller, volume knob, start/stop button and the illuminated gear shift lever. Other additional upgrades include the steering wheel covered in leather.
This special edition has so many changes made to the original BMW M850i xDrive Coupe which mainly includes the color and other goodies of the car.
It is also reported that no mechanical changes have been made as the car already has an excellent working system.
BMW M850i xDrive runs powerfully with 523 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque from its twin turbo 4.4-liter V8 engine. Such a powerful engine can go from62mph in just 3.7 seconds en route to an electronically governed 155 mph.

The 6-0, 170-pounder is a 4-star ranked #80 overall nationally, the #5 ATH, and #13 in the Sunshine State on 247Sports. Williams is a 4-star with no overall ranking on Rivals. His decommitment does not change Miami’s #1 ranked 2020 class on 247Sports. Rivals has not yet ranked the team classes for 2020.
A top 100 talent such as Williams parting ways with Miami is never good and there’s really no way to sugarcoat that. However, this is just another in a long line of way too early commitments ending with way too early decommitments. You can’t have coaches stop recruiting freshman and sophomores in high school because it’s just so necessary these days to build those relationships as early as possible, but you can’t help but wonder if the game wouldn’t be better served limiting the timeline on commitments until at least a prospect’s junior season.
Williams’ decision was made all the more confusing in that, unlike other recent decommit Leonard Manuel, Williams hasn’t been making visits to other schools. In fact, he’s only been to Miami this spring, for the Canes’ spring game last month. Williams had been committed to UM since February 2017, 3 years before his Signing Day. He pulled the trigger for the Canes just one hour after his cousin, Lorenzo Lingard, made his pledge to Miami and the two planned to play together in college. With Lingard now on campus in Coral Gables, it’s just another reason this decision is a head-scratcher.
Williams had a rough season on the field for his sophomore season, getting little playing time after transferring to a loaded IMG Academy roster. While taking a backseat at IMG as an underclassman is nothing to be ashamed of, it was certainly counter-productive to Williams’ development and he is now back at DeLand for his junior year. His recruiting ranking stock also suffered a bit, as Williams went from a near 5-star player to the back-end of the top 100 in 2020.
As of now, we expect the Canes to continue recruiting Williams to Miami, but recommits are rare in recruiting.
Future of the Class
Williams’ decommitment brings the total class numbers down to 7. While Williams could end up at many positions at the next level, most had him ticketed to play safety in college. His departure leaves Miami empty-handed on the last line of defense in Category20.
It’s possible the Canes may have seen this coming, as they just sent out 2 offers to safeties just last week; that’d be to teammates Jaiden Francois and Keshawn Washington of South Dade (FL). While Washington could eventually grow into a linebacker, the Canes are in a very good spot with Francois for the time being.
A lot depends on how many safeties the Canes end up taking in 2019, but you can also expect traction to pick up with other 2020 offerees IMG Academy (FL) 4-star Lejond Cavazos and Marietta (GA) 3-star Rashad Torrence. Cavazos already has offers from top teams all around the nation and is a longshot at this point, but Torrence is worth keeping an eye on; he’s teammates at Marietta with current Category20 member 4-star WR Jermaine Burton.
As for a wildcard at the position, look no further than Xavier Restrepo from St. Thomas Aquinas (FL). The two-way athlete has lit up the camp scene this spring mainly at WR, but his tape screams impact safety in college. Restrepo is keeping things open for now, but the Canes were his childhood favorite and will be tough to beat here.
Do you know where DeLand is? He more local to UF than he is to Miami. DeLand is 20 mins from Daytona Beach. UF would be considered the "local" school here. But by all means, go ahead and use that narrative to hammer the staff for recruiting.
We'll see if he's even worth the offer in the long run. Young man was getting spun like a top in the limited camp footage I saw of him.
He could still be a productive college player, but so many of these early rankings are well, just too early. Wonder if he ran from the talent at IMG, was released, got sick of home, or a combination of whatever.
I thought Tweed was not actually family but close friends of the family? Though either way probably will want to keep out of it. Also I believe one of the other families mentioned how once you get on the team the coaches really prefer you and your people not go on things like this message board and post things.
Do not expect him to comment on this for many reasons.
Didn't someone say AW ended up measuring in at like 5'10 175 at some camp but he was thought to be 6'0 195? And his stock has been dropping ever since?
I still want the kid because 2020 is still 2 years away and he can still become a superstud but I think this kid needs to start living up to that freshmen year hype he had when he was a USA Today Freshmen All American and people were penciling him in as the next Sean Taylor.

Scottsdale, Arizona (CNN) – Calls to overhaul the nation’s immigration laws will fade away as soon as Mexico jump-starts its economy, Texas Gov. Rick Perry predicted Wednesday.
Perry, speaking to reporters at the Republican Governors Association’s annual conference in Arizona, ridiculed Democratic efforts to pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill without first enhancing security along the Texas-Mexico border.
But Perry said the debate over immigration reform - and perhaps the heated political battles over border security - could end up being pointless thanks to Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto.
Nieto is working to overhaul his country’s energy laws in order to lure greater investment from outside oil and gas companies, thereby boosting job creation. Energy production in Mexico has been state-run for 75 years.
“I think immigration reform is going to be very passé,” Perry said. “It’s going to be part of the past. And one of the reasons is that is that when Mexico liberalizes the energy policy down there and the Mexicans who are here illegally go home… and as a matter of fact there might be a lot of folks who maybe are U.S. citizens going to Mexico looking for jobs in the energy industry.”
“And (at) that particular point in time,” he added, “this whole discussion about immigration reform, I think it goes away for one thing. And the idea about border security may shift from the United States and Mexico border, down to the Guatemala-Mexican border.”
Asked how long such a scenario might take to unfold, Perry said it “depends on how fast the Congress in Mexico works.”
But he said President Pena Nieto “is very committed to improving the economic lot in Mexico.”

On Wabi-Sabi Weekends, I post excerpts from my book, Simply Imperfect: Revisiting the Wabi-Sabi House.
“He who knows he has enough is rich.” – Lao-tzu
Wabi-sabi’s complicated two-step of spacious but not stark, comforting but not cluttered, requires nurturing and refinement.
Slowly, over time, you pare down your possessions. You might live for years with three candles, a lamp and a bowl on a side table, then one day realize that removing the candles lets the lamp’s clean lines and the empty bowl’s possibility shine through. A hand-knit afghan may be useful on the sofa in winter months, but clutter during the summer. One day you may decide that you don’t need all those cookbooks out on the counter after all. (How often do you actually make Thai food?)
If you’re not ready to get rid of family heirlooms and art that you don’t have space to display, follow the ancient Japanese practice of rotating precious items through a special alcove, or tokonoma, on a seasonal basis. Assuming you have the storage space, rotating knickknacks through storage is much less painful than giving away or selling them.
Try to connect the items you bring out of storage to the season—get out your grandmother’s milk glass vase for spring flowers and group candlesticks to bring in welcome light in winter. You can expand on this concept throughout the house: replace a heavy woolen comforter with a light linen blanket on your bed, display only one piece of the silver tea set at a time.
Putting things away for a while makes them feel new when you pull them out again. Think about how much fun it is to unwrap the Christmas tree ornaments and hang them on the tree each year—and how ready you are, come January, to put them back into storage.

Taiwanese river polluter Vedan Vietnam company Friday signed an agreement to pay nearly VND120 billion (US$6.1 million) in compensation to affected farmers in the southern province of Dong Nai.
Under the agreement, the monosodium glutamate maker will pay 50 percent of the compensation within seven days after the signing, and pay another 50 percent by January 14, 2011.
In return, all the 5,034 affected farmers have agreed to drop lawsuits against the company, according to Dong Nai Farmers' Association.
However, Vien Dong Ltd. Co., which runs a 28-hectare aquaculture farm in Long Phuoc Commune, has not accepted the compensation and will file a lawsuit against Vedan, said Nguyen Van Ngau, chairman of Long Thanh District Farmers' Association.
The company claimed over VND17 billion ($872,689) in compensation, while the calculation by the Institute of Natural Resources and Environment put the compensation payable to the company at VND900 million ($46,201) of nearly VND120 billion, Ngau said.
"So, the company didn't accept the compensation, although we have tried to convince them many times," he said.
Last month Vedan signed the same agreements with farmers in the southern province of Ba Ria Vung Tau and Ho Chi Minh City for compensation worth VND53.6 billion (S$2.8 million) and VND45.7 billion (US$2.39 million) respectively.
The company was caught in 2008 discharging untreated effluents directly into the Thi Vai River through secret underground pipes. Government inspectors found that the company had been doing so for 14 years.
The discovery sparked a public outcry which rose even higher as the company declined to meet compensation requests made the affected farmers, making meager counter offers.
However, following a public boycott of its products that were pulled off supermarket shelves, Vedan caved in and agreed to pay the demanded compensation to farmers in Ba Ria Vung Tau and HCMC.
It also offered to pay Dong Nai farmers VND119.5 billion, but provincial authorities did not accept the offer until later.
The compensation sums were calculated by an agency authorized to do so by the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment.

Movie of the Day – Melancholia
June 8, 2012 Leave a comment
The destruction of the world never seemed so elegantly breathtaking. It’s not unfair to the viewers and readers to say that this film is about the end of the world. I am not spoiling anything since the destruction of the Earth happens in the first 5 minutes of the film set to some of the most gorgeous cinematography that von Trier has ever done. Imagery that is both haunting and serene at that same time, sets the ultimate mood for a film that chronicles the the lives of a family learning to deal with this oncoming celestial body. Lars von Trier promised to deliver a film with no happy endings and I guess destroying the world is the only way to give us a truly sad ending.
I remember my excitement for this film, one that went unseen by a lot of people, but then again Lars von Trier isn’t the happy-go-lucky director that everyone gets excited about. His films are a trial of patience, tolerating his directing while he truly beats his characters into submission with a series of maladies. Not something that is uplifting by any means, but he does get deeper into the human psyche more than most directors, often with a gorgeous visual style. Melancholia was an ambitious film, as the focal point of the film is the destruction of Earth in a cataclysmic fashion that Roland Emmerich would be jealous of. The film uses the Earth ending event as a means to tell the story of two sisters, both learning to cope with the crushing depression of the impending doom. It’s a fascinating study on acceptance and anguish. What we experience when the knowledge of extinction is imminent. The two sisters share in the experience, one who accepts the fate ahead, the other clinging to the last vestige of humanity.
Melancholia is a rough film to watch. The notion of watching the final moments of existence can really sour the mode of a moviegoer, but the aim of the film is to have us connect and come to accept what is happening to the characters. Setting up the film with the destruction of the world already prepares us for the end, so that allows us to focus and connect with the characters on screen. Charlotte Gainsbourg and Kirsten Dunst are amazing in this film. Both turn in compelling performances and embrace the end they are given. It’s a dour film, since everyone dies, but the development of the characters and reflection on their shortening lives makes this a far more emotional powerful film.
The film is currently available on Netflix Instant, so there should be no excuse to see this film. I will say that if the world were to end, I at least hope we go out in the same classical music filled spectacle that Melancholia delivers in the opening of the film.
Below is a link and excerpt to my original review.
Lars von Trier has made an apocalyptic film, seem almost too personal. The world is ending, but the only thing the story focuses on are Justine and Claire. It really brings home this depression theme even closer when you realize that the story isn’t really about the world as a whole, just the world that the two sisters belong to. They are all they have left in the world and it’s that last bit of humanity that makes the swift death they experience, just a bit more melancholy. Read more here
