Intercultural management proposal for the Teaching of the Arhuaca indigenous language. It arises as the need to respond in a more comprehensive and effective way to comply with the Law of Origin (1), Colombian interculturality and the appropriation of the history of the Arhuaca nation, through the learning of the mother tongue Ikun. The importance of the present proposal to develop a learning space of the own language in the municipality of Pueblo Bello in the urban area, it is necessary and urgent because there is no educational institution that offers said service and the means for teaching the Arhuaca language to indigenous Arhuaco children and adolescents who live within the urban perimeter, allowing solutions to a number of children and young people in terms of learning the Arhuacao ikua indigenous language, in turn, strengthening the cultural identity, philosophy, knowledge, the ethical principle of a millennialtown and native that seeks to guarantee the stability of their own government therefore the total protection of the people Arhuaca its territory
The countries that make up Latin America today are a group of peoples endowed with diverse cultures, languages and ethnic groups, the result of long and complex historical processes. However, the recognition of this cultural diversity is relatively recent, especially with regard to indigenous societies. The situation of poverty in which these societies find themselves is also reflected in the field of education. Despite the great literacy effort made throughout the region in recent decades, high rates of illiteracy persist among indigenous ethnic groups and communities, which shows that national educational systems do not adjust to the needs of indigenous peoples. The answer to this reality is the adoption of policies that lead to a differentiated education that takes into account the plurality of languages, and therefore cultures. One of the most frequent criticisms of bilingual education programs has been precisely their character of an instrument for learning the official language and to improve school performance; although they supposed the subordination of the indigenous culture to the dominant culture. Moreover, a crucial point for intercultural bilingual education taking ownership of the mother tongue is obviously teacher training. As is well known, teacher training schools are directed by silencing or omitting in the majority of the time the cultural diversity, the multilingual character and the composition of the multiethnicity of many Latin American societies. In the Colombian context, specifically the Arhuaco people, their language is known as the Ikun, which is widely spoken and corresponds to the most extended and important linguistic family in all aspects. On the other hand, it is true that the interest of adults to extend the language to their children has been neglected and much less to motivate them to learn the history of the Arhuaco people with their cosmogony and worldview. (1) are those ancient norms that existed before dawn If these indigenous people are made to understand that learning the mother tongue also implies understanding the cultural legacy of the Arhuaca nation.

An Automated Microscope System to Monitor Dynamic Stress Responses in Neurons
Despite years of incremental progress in our understanding of diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Huntington's Disease (HD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), there are still no disease-modifying therapeutics. The discrepancy between the number of lead compounds and approved drugs may partially be a result of the methods used to generate the leads and highlights the need for new technology to obtain more detailed and physiologically relevant information on cellular processes in normal and diseased states. We developed a high-throughput automated microscope system and primary neuron model of HD that allows us to monitor dynamic stress responses in intact, fully differentiated neurons. We are able to assay thousands of conditions, including millions of neurons, in a short period of time, which can reveal completely new aspects of biology and identify lead therapeutics in the span of a few months when conventional methods could take years or fail all together. We use this system to understand how neurons, a long-lived, postmitotic cell type, differ in their acute responses to proteotoxic insults including those associated with malformed protein. We show that neurons have a deficient acute stress response to multiple known stimuli, including thermal stress, Hsp90 inhibition, and proteasome inhibition. We find that neurons have low expression of the two major stress-responsive transcriptional activators in mammals, HSF1 and HSF2. We also find that neurons have high constitutive chaperoning capability through relatively high levels of Hsp90 and Hsc70. High Hsp90, however, decreases the acute stress response through negative regulation of HSF1. By increasing HSF1 levels, we were able to restore the response in neurons and protect them from the toxicity associated with malformed protein. We propose a mechanism for the attenuated acute stress response in neurons that implicates a high Hsp90 to HSF1 ratio, which results in an increased ability to cope with chronic stresses, but decreased ability to respond acutely when basal homeostatic responses are overwhelmed. We conclude that targeted therapies to bolster acute stress responses in neurons through increasing HSF1 expression or activation will therefore benefit HD and other neurodegenerative disorders of protein conformation.

Africa is filled with so much inspiration especially in the art, fashion and music scene. The bold take their time to cultivate their craft as they seek a platform to showcase the best work they’ve got. The fashion scene in Kenya is taking its time when it comes to growth but hey, Rome wasn’t built-in a day. Talent is evident, what is lacking could be a certain level of appreciation and recognition.
The use of African print fabric is a tradition in the African fashion industry that is not going out of style anytime soon. African designers have found incredible ways to use African print fabrics. They create modern, yet trendy pieces that are inspired by western designs. A good example would be the Kimono. This is currently one of the most trendy cover ups and different brands have created collections with their signature touch. Meanwhile, some local designers have found ways to turn these basic cover ups into the most wanted items in every fashion enthusiast’s closet.
Wangari Mathenge is one of these young local designers who is making her mark in the fashion industry, slowly but surely.
The entire idea behind this brand is to dress the free spirit; one who dresses to impress no one else but themselves.
As a designer, she has found ways to make fabrics work to her exact personal approach. She prefers quirky cuts and volume to create the ultimate Wangari Mathenge piece.
When I said Africa has a lot that can inspire in fashion, I was referring to the inspiration behind brands like Wangari Mathenge. Before becoming a designer, her main profession was as a PR officer for an Environment Conservation company. This enabled her to experience tourism and travel as a part of her job description. She enjoyed her travels to the Maasai Mara. Here, the Maasai way of dressing using a simple “Shuka” gave her the idea! The idea on how to design the perfect poncho or kimono using similar fabrics.
Wangari Mathenge is heavily inspired by traditional African attires and the brand has definitely caught on with the local fashion community.
The kimono is the brands’ most popular piece and has graced runways at events like Fashion Bloggers Runway back in 2017. Fortunately, we were in the building and seeing is believing. They look just as exceptional in person and the crowd agreed by the incredible applause her designs received.
If kimonos are not for you (yet somehow I doubt that), not to worry because the brand has a lot more than just kimonos in their collection.
There are a number of style bloggers, fellow designers and fashion personas that swear by her designs. Every day is a growing opportunity and from what I see, the sky is definitely the limit for Wangari.
Wangari Mathenge takes her inspiration from her professional surroundings, a clear indication that your talent is deep within you. All you need is the right inspiration at the right time. The local support her brand is receiving is impressive. Moreover, it is definitely a step in the right direction for our industry.

This week marks the 64th anniversary of the first use of an atomic weapon. The US atomic bombing of Hiroshima marked the start of the atomic age and also killed 260,000 people with a single bomb, marking a new height in man’s inhumanity to man. While I do not want to debate the wisdom or morality of that most difficult decision of Harry Truman to end the war, I do think the words of the pilot, Captain Robert Lewis, of “My God, what have we done?” ring true 64 years later as they did at the time.
With trillions of dollars of the world’s wealth spent and being spent now on maintenance of nuclear arsenals that have the power to destroy our planet, it is time once and for all to eliminate nuclear weapons from our planet. While we continue to pay lip service to eliminating useless nuclear weapons, little has been done to stop their production and we have a serious issue now with more nations seeking to join the nuclear club.
Nuclear weapons remain the most serious threat to humanity. Humanity’s capacity to use those weapons makes that a threat to take seriously. Even though the tensions that caused the cold war and the nuclear arms race have subsided, the nuclear arsenals continue to be produced, older weapons are being replaced by new weapons and unstable governments around the world seek nuclear arms in a sick sort of weapons-envy power trip.
I marched in my first anti-war rally on Hiroshima Day in 1964. I told my parents I was going to the library and ended up on the front page of the Chicago Sun Times. Yeah, I got grounded. But, I do remember the fear of the nuclear arms race. My parents even had a nuclear shelter in our home when we lived in Kansas. It was sort of silly—it didn’t even have a door, no sanitation facilities and would do almost nothing to protect you from that kind of explosion. I remember the ‘duck and cover’ exercises in school that were just as silly.
The use of nuclear weapons is no longer an option in our world and they should be forever banned.

The Beauty of Black, Red & White
|The Tanglewood Collection by Blank Quilting|
|I gave away a fat quarter bundle of these to a lucky winner|
I put 4 of the units together with sashing, but didn't like it. I don't know why, but something wasn't right. What do you think?

I just finished putting together 16 of these units (that's all the fabric I had) and used NO SASHING, but instead put them block to block in my Four-Blocks-Look-Like-Five-Blocks setting. I've used this with several other quilts. I really like the trick-the-eye assembly.

2016 Covered Bridge Tour
Audi Club NA - North Atlantic Chapter
Registration closed September 16, 2016 11:59 PM on September 16, 2016 11:59 PM EDT Registration ends September 16, 2016 11:59 PM on September 16, 2016 11:59 PM EDT Registration opens August 19, 2016 12:00 AM on August 19, 2016 12:00 AM EDT Registration runs from August 19, 2016 12:00 AM to September 16, 2016 11:59 PM
The North Atlantic Audi Club is, for the first time, hosting a Covered Bridge Tour (CBT) event in central Vermont. The CBT is a straightforward 100-mile tour exploring interesting back roads south of Route 4, West of Route 91, North of Route 130 and East of Route 7, providing many scenic vistas and traversing nine covered bridges. About forty per-cent of the route is unpaved roads, but they're suitable for all types of vehicles, being mostly smooth hard-packed clay or dirt with no large rocks or grass covered “humps” in the center.
The lunch stop will be at the Long Trail Pub and Brewery, and the finish will be at Kinney Audi in Rutland, VT around 4 PM. We will have a gathering at Kinney Audi, then proceed up the street to the Vermont Tap House for pizza and beverages for those wishing to socialize a while longer. The event will be held rain or shine, hopefully with lots of the latter.
This tour is based on a Time-Speed-Distance rally designed by club VP Mike Collier for another group. However, the route instructions will include mileages to every turn, and are “untrapped”. The arrival times at lunch and Kinney Audi are based on an overall average speed of 30 MPH, with an allowance of 10 minutes at each covered bridge to take pictures. But there's no need to average exactly 30 MPH as there are no checkpoints.
Entry fee for the day’s tour is $25 per car, and is limited to 25 cars. Please pre-register via MotorsportReg by clicking here. Event check-in is at the Hampton Inn, Ballardvale Dr, White River Junction, VT 05001 (802-296-2800) at 8:30AM, with a drivers meeting at 9:30 AM and the first car off just after 10 AM.
If you plan to stay overnight before or after the event, be aware that Vermont is getting into prime fall foliage time and there is no designated block of rooms being held at the Hampton Inn. Room rates in the area range from approximately $100 to $250 per night depending on what you wish for amenities.

We knew it will be dangerous. Even so, it’s bracing simply how dangerous the proof laid out by the Justice Division in opposition to Donald Trump is.
The indictment in opposition to Trump and his private valet, Walt Nauta, unsealed this afternoon, lays out the federal case in opposition to the previous president in vivid, stunning, and generally even wry element. An indictment isn’t a conviction—it’s a set of allegations by prosecutors, with out rebuttal from the defendant. Trump is harmless in courtroom till confirmed responsible, and has loudly and insistently proclaimed that he’s an harmless man. However the proof included reveals why the case in opposition to Trump is so disturbing, and why it is going to be robust for him to defend. And the crimes it particulars are among the many stupidest conceivable.
Particularly, Particular Counsel Jack Smith alleges a number of key factors. First, that Trump dealt with the categorised materials exceptionally sloppily and haphazardly, together with stashing paperwork in a bathe, a bed room, and—as depicted in a hanging photograph—onstage in a ballroom that ceaselessly held occasions. Second, that Trump was personally concerned in discussions concerning the paperwork, and in directing their repeated relocation. Third, that Trump was properly conscious of each the legal guidelines round categorised paperwork and the truth that these specific paperwork weren’t declassified. Fourth, that Trump was personally concerned in schemes to cover the paperwork not solely from the federal authorities however even from his personal attorneys. The indictment fastidiously lays out its case with photos, texts, and surveillance footage.
In sum, the indictment depicts a person who knew that what he was doing was fallacious, and went to nice lengths to cowl it up. Trump knew precisely how dangerous it will be if the paperwork had been discovered, and wished them destroyed or hidden. His fears, as manifested in his indictment, had been properly based.
In short feedback on the Division of Justice this afternoon, Smith stated that mishandling of categorised data had endangered the nation’s safety and the lives of service members and intelligence officers. “Violations of these legal guidelines put our nation in danger,” he stated.
Trump has raged that he, a former president, shouldn’t be topic to prison fees, however Smith provided a rebuttal. “Adherence to the rule of regulation is a bedrock precept of the Division of Justice,” he stated. “Our nation’s dedication to the rule of regulation units an instance for the world. We now have one set of legal guidelines on this nation they usually apply to everybody.”
The indictment contains 37 counts in opposition to Trump involving seven crimes, together with willful retention of nationwide protection data, conspiracy to impede justice, withholding a doc or document, corruptly concealing a doc or document, concealing a doc in a federal investigation, scheme to hide, and false statements and representations. If he’s convicted, he might face years in jail, as might Nauta.
When Trump left the White Home, he took with him dozens of haphazardly stuffed containers. The president was personally concerned within the packing, Smith alleges. The results of the haste and carelessness was that a number of the nation’s most delicate secrets and techniques had been blended in with newspaper clippings, images, notes, and different bric-a-brac.
Specialists typically lament extreme classification, which leads to materials that’s not likely delicate being branded secret. However that’s not what Trump is alleged to have taken:
The categorised paperwork Trump saved in his containers included data relating to protection and weapons capabilities of each the USA and overseas nations; United States nuclear packages; potential vulnerabilities of the USA and its allies to navy assault; and plans for potential retaliation in response to a overseas assault. The unauthorized disclosure of those categorised paperwork might put in danger the nationwide safety of the USA, overseas relations, the protection of the USA navy, and human sources and the continued viability of delicate intelligence assortment strategies.
And Smith establishes that Trump was conversant in the principles across the materials. He quotes repeated feedback Trump made in the course of the 2016 marketing campaign, when he was assailing his opponent Hillary Clinton’s dealing with of categorised data, concerning the significance of such legal guidelines.
Trump has argued publicly, although not in courtroom filings, that he did nothing fallacious as a result of he had declassified the paperwork he took earlier than he left workplace. However Smith quotes two events on which Trump appeared to acknowledge that was not true, each of which have been partially revealed in earlier press experiences. In a single, he brandished a doc earlier than two writers that he claimed was a plan from Basic Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Employees, to assault Iran. “See as president I might have declassified it,” he stated to a staffer’s laughter. “Now I can’t, you understand, however that is nonetheless secret.” The staffer laughed once more. “Now we’ve got an issue,” they replied. This was prophetic.
Within the different occasion, he confirmed a secret map to a political operative however stated “that he shouldn’t be displaying the map … and to not get shut.” For sure, this isn’t how classification works.
But although Trump was conscious of all of this, he took no care in defending the paperwork. They had been moved between a number of areas at Mar-a-Lago. Most astonishingly, the indictment features a photograph of containers stacked in a ballroom the place prosecutors stated occasions and gatherings befell, and the place the containers remained between January and March 2021, putting categorised materials fairly actually on show at middle stage.
In one other occasion, Nauta entered a storage room and located containers had fallen over, spilling delicate intelligence restricted to shut allies on the ground. He texted an image, additionally within the indictment, to a different Trump worker. Textual content messages present that Trump himself stored shut tabs on the placement and dealing with of the paperwork.
The indictment additionally particulars the various alternatives the federal government provided Trump to return the paperwork, and alleges that he not solely refused however tried a number of ruses to cover them. Beginning in Might 2021, the Nationwide Archives and Information Administration warned repeatedly that it will hand the matter to the Justice Division if Trump didn’t comply. Lastly, in January 2022, Trump despatched 15 containers to NARA. When NARA opened the information and found the categorised markings, it referred the case to DOJ.
On Might 11, 2022, Trump acquired a subpoena for all categorised supplies. Over the subsequent a number of days, Nauta moved containers round a number of instances. When Trump’s legal professional Evan Corcoran was set to overview paperwork in a storage room in order that he might certify to the federal government that each doc had been returned, Nauta first moved a number of containers out of the room. All of this motion, Smith alleges, was an try and idiot each Trump’s attorneys and the federal government.
Smith’s cautious work to indicate Trump’s direct consciousness of the paperwork and motion of containers is smart. Trump has typically managed to skirt hassle as a result of he speaks like a mob boss—providing sturdy strategies for a way aides may act, with out ever fairly implicating himself. He did the identical right here. Hillary Clinton was on Trump’s thoughts. He informed a narrative claiming that one among her aides had intentionally taken the autumn for deleting 30,000 messages. “She didn’t get in any hassle as a result of he stated he was the one who deleted them,” Trump recounted, telling the story repeatedly in what appears like an try and get somebody to do the identical for him.
When Corcoran carried out his search and found categorised paperwork, Trump appeared to encourage him to destroy or conceal categorised paperwork. “He made a humorous movement as if—properly okay why don’t you are taking them with you to your lodge room and if there’s something actually dangerous in there, like, you understand, pluck it out,” based on the lawyer’s notes. “And that was the movement he made. He didn’t say that.”
However at different instances, based on Corcoran’s notes, Trump was much less cautious and made clear his intentions. “Wouldn’t it’s higher if we simply informed them we don’t have something right here?” Corcoran recorded the previous president as saying, and, “Effectively look isn’t it higher if there are not any paperwork?”
The lingering thriller within the case is why Trump was so connected to those paperwork. The indictment, and its opaque description of the paperwork at its coronary heart, sheds little gentle on the query. Maybe the trial will lastly clarify why he was keen to threat a lot to hold on to papers that, per the indictment, he’d assembled so haphazardly after which saved so negligently.
Nauta emerges as a considerably tragic determine within the case. By all accounts, he’s a mild-mannered and non-political man who first labored for Trump as a U.S. Navy valet within the White Home, then retired and to work for him after Trump left workplace.
By now, most individuals round Trump know higher than to belief him. Corcoran, apparently suspecting that Trump was not displaying him all of the containers when he carried out the search, as an alternative satisfied lawyer Christina Bobb to behave as custodian of information. Bobb, maybe additionally cautious, produced a certification however cautioned that it was “based mostly upon the data [that] had been offered” to her. Corcoran additionally lined himself by taking cautious notes of Trump’s remarks to him, which a decide later dominated had been exempt from attorney-client privilege as a result of they may contain fee of a criminal offense.
However Nauta was not so savvy. When Trump requested him to maneuver the paperwork round, he did it with out query. He additionally lied to federal investigators in a primary interview, although he was apparently extra forthcoming in a second dialog. Nauta remained deeply loyal to Trump, and reportedly nonetheless is; it was Trump who first revealed his indictment. Nauta turned one of many final folks to appreciate that private loyalty to Trump tends to result in private spoil.
On June 3, Bobb signed the certification falsely claiming that every one categorised paperwork had been returned. However the Justice Division by then knew or suspected that was not true. On August 8, FBI brokers executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago and turned up extra paperwork that Trump had allegedly sought to hide. From that time, Trump’s historic indictment was all however inevitable.

KITTEN AND PUPPY VACCINES
A series of vaccinations for puppies and kittens and regularly scheduled annual vaccines for adult dogs and cats are one of the best ways to ensure that your pet is protected from deadly infectious diseases. During their first few weeks of life, puppies and kittens continue to carry special protective antibodies transferred to them by their mother’s milk. Until 6-8 weeks of age, these antibodies would interfere with vaccinations. For this reason, vaccines are given around 8, 12, and 16 weeks of age. Below are the various diseases that our vaccinations will protect against.
Feline Panleukopenia – AKA “feline distemper” – a highly contagious, potentially fatal, viral disease that can cause extreme listlessness, loss of appetite, fever, vomiting, and diarrhea – spread through the feces and can survive in extreme temperatures and humidity
Feline Herpesvirus (cause of feline rhinotracheitis) and Feline Calicivirus – two potentially serious (and sometimes fatal) upper respiratory tract diseases – can cause sneezing, runny eyes, runny nose, fever, and mouth ulcers – spread through secretions from the eyes, nose, and mouth of infected cats or even contaminated objects
Feline Chlamydiosis – bacterial infection that can cause conjunctivitis (inflammation of the tissues that line the eyelids), sneezing, nasal discharge – spread through direct contact with an infected cat
Feline Leukemia – very serious viral disease that causes deficiency of the immune system, leading to anemia, cancer, and a plethora or secondary infections – spread through the saliva, other bodily secretions, and from mother to kitten – THIS VACCINE IS RECOMMENDED ESPECIALLY FOR ANY CAT THAT GOES OUTSIDE!
Rabies – fatal viral disease that primarily affects the neurologic and muscular systems – vaccine is required by law due to its potential for human infection

Philippe de Vitry
Philippe de Vitry (October 31, 1291 – June 9, 1361) was a French composer, music theorist and poet. He was an accomplished, innovative, and influential composer, who is credited to have been the author of the Ars Nova treatise, and is renowned as the great philosopher and truth seeker of his time. As a scholar who worked in great detail to preserve what was happening in the music of the fourteenth century, de Vitry specifically explained the new notational examples in his treatise. This was a partnership that he created with his readers and other musicians to explain the essentials of the current music theory, and to allow them to reciprocate by facilitating the performance of late French Medieval music for the enjoyment of all peoples.
He was born in Paris; however, biographical details of his life are sketchy. Given that he is often referred to in documents as "Magister," he is thought likely to have studied at the University of Paris. Later he was prominent in the courts of Charles IV of France, Philippe VI of France and Jean II of France, serving as a secretary and advisor. Perhaps aided by these House of Bourbon connections, he also held several canonries, including Clermont, Beauvais, and Paris, and served for a time in the antipapal retinue at Avignon starting with Pope Clement VI. Additionally, he was a diplomat and a soldier, and is known to have served at the Siege of Aiguillon in 1346. In 1351, he became Bishop of Meaux, east of Paris. Moving in all the most important political, artistic, and ecclesiastical circles, he was acquainted with many sages of the age, including Petrarch and the famous mathematician, philosopher and music theorist Nicole Oresme. De Vitry died in Paris.
Philippe de Vitry is most famous in music history for writing the Ars Nova (1322), a treatise on music, which gave its name to the music of the entire era. While his authorship and the very existence of this treatise have recently come into question, a handful of his musical works do survive, and show the innovations in notation, particularly mensural notation and rhythm, with which he was credited within a century of their inception. Such innovations as are exemplified in his stylistically-attributed motets for the 'Roman de Fauvel' were particularly important, and made possible the free and quite complex music of the next hundred years, culminating in the 'Ars subtilior'. In some ways the "modern" system of rhythmic notation began with the Ars Nova, during which music might be said to have "broken free" from the older idea of the rhythmic modes, patterns which were repeated without being individually notated. The mensural notation or notational predecessors of modern time meters also originate in the Ars Nova.
De Vitry is reputed to have written chansons and motets, but only some of the motets have survived. Each motet is strikingly individual, exploring a unique structural idea. Vitry is also often credited with developing the concept of isorhythm (an isorhythmic line is one which has repeating patterns of rhythms and pitches, but the patterns overlap rather than correspond. For example, a line of thirty consecutive notes might contain five repetitions of a six-note melody, and six repetitions of a five-note rhythm).
Five of Vitry's three-part motets have survived in the 'Roman de Fauvel'; an additional nine can be found in the 'Ivrea Codex'.
He was widely acknowledged as the greatest musician of his day, and even Petrarch wrote a glowing tribute of him: "...he is the great philosopher and truth-seeker of our age."

"This [novel] begins on a stormy fall night at a lake house in the north woods of Minnesota, where we are introduced to a college professor who a few years earlier had written a novel in which he justified a gruesome campus murder under the nihilistic theory that there is no right or wrong, no moral center to man's activity. The writer returns to the lake house where he had spent his childhood summers and locks himself in the attic, intent on writing the final story of his life. Playing on a continuous loop in his mind are key moments in his past ... All of these threads weave together as the writer tries to piece together the multitude of secrets and acts of violence that make up one human life"--

In the current economic climate, the debate concerning peak oil (the end of cheap mineral oil) and global warming (the end of the planet as we know it) have been somewhat sidelined.
But these two major issues have not gone away. And they will almost certainly influence the source and cost of our energy needs in the not-too-distant future.
And there’s no escaping the fact that industry is a huge consumer of energy. If peak oil and global warming are real issues – and there’s a growing body of evidence to suggest they are, then I predict energy management will become a major issue for industry over the next decade and beyond. And a large part of this burden will fall on machine designers.
Efficient By Design
Reliable machines will not be enough. Highly efficient, reliable machines will be required. This begs the question: how efficient are the fluid power machines you design, build, maintain or repair? Maybe this is an issue you don’t think too much about. But according to a study by the ORNL/NFPA mentioned in the January ’14 issue of Hydraulics & Pneumatics, the average efficiency of fluid power systems is just 21%!
As a consultant advising clients in a diverse range of industries, power transmission efficiency is an issue I deal with a lot. Let me illustrate with a couple of examples:
One client, the designer of a three-wheeled vehicle, approached me to design a hydraulic drive. He wanted to power at least two-wheels, ideally three.
To keep cost to a minimum, the machine designer asked me to consider gear pumps and motors. A gear pump or motor in good condition is 85 percent efficient. So a gear pump driving a gear motor has a best-case efficiency of 0.85 x 0.85 = 0.72. That’s 72 percent – not considering losses through valves and conductors.
But say a gear-type flow divider was included to achieve multiple wheel drive. The theoretical efficiency would now be 0.85 x 0.85 x 0.85 = 0.61. That’s 61 percent, not including losses through valves and conductors. Compare this with a chain drive in good condition, which is 97 to 98 percent efficient. This explains why you don’t see too many hydraulic bicycles around!
In this application where the available input power is limited by space and weight, the question I had to ask my client was: Can you afford to lose 40 to 50 percent of available input power to heat? In his case the answer was no. But in a similar industrial application we have the luxury of installing a bigger electric motor, without being too concerned about the energy losses – for the time being at least.
Another client is examining his options for a rotary drive in a remote location with no access to the electricity grid. He can generate his own electricity but likes the idea of using an air motor. He wants to know comparative costs. It’s not a big drive – only 20 horsepower.
An air motor has an efficiency of around 15 percent. So I explained to my client that to drive his 20 horsepower air motor he’ll need a 140 horsepower air compressor! That pretty much settles it in his application. He’s not going with the pneumatic option. In an industrial situation though, where a large air compressor is already available, these energy losses may be tolerated – for now.
Contrast these two examples with this one: another client for whom I am advising on the design of a 6,000 ton press. Regardless of efficiency, hydraulic power transmission is really his only option. But this is also a relatively efficient use of hydraulics. One of the reasons for this is, in high force applications, the efficiency of a hydraulic cylinder approaches 100 percent.
And because it’s a high-pressure application, piston pumps will be essential. The overall efficiency of an axial piston pump in good condition is 92 percent. So the theoretical efficiency of the press hydraulic circuit is 0.92 x 1 = 0.92 or 92 percent – not including losses through valves and conductors.
A significant, ‘built-in’ inefficiency in this application however, is the compressibility of the hydraulic fluid – particularly given the necessarily high working pressure and large volume of the cylinder. But clearly, this is not an application for gear or chain drives.
This is not to say hydraulics, and even pneumatics, aren’t appropriate solutions for rotary drives. Energy efficiency is just one of many issues that must be considered when selecting a power transmission option. But like the many factors that influence machine reliability, if efficiency is overlooked at the design stage and not considered during the equipment selection process, this can increase the lifetime ownership cost of the asset. And even more so in the years come.

Political operative Jay Golub is primarily handling the signature gathering operations for Jeff Gottlieb’s congressional campaign in Queens, but he also seems to be handling the press at this point, and earlier this morning, he repeatedly told The Politicker that the various allegations against the campaign will be responded to, just not now.
Notably one of Mr. Gottlieb’s rivals for the Democratic nomination, Assemblyman Rory Lancman, has argued not only that Mr. Gottlieb is part of a plot orchestrated to split the district’s Jewish vote, but is “one of the hackiest hacks in all of hackdom.”
Two candidates, one Democrat and one Republican, each have opened committees and are looking at possibly running for term-limited Queens Councilman Peter Vallone’s seat in 2013. Democratic District Leader Costa Constantinides and former New York Young Republican Club President Daniel Peterson are both actively considering campaigns while declining to officially declare their intentions to run.
In a recent interview, Mr. Peterson, who also sits on the Queens Republican Executive committee, confirmed that he’s exploring a bid for the Council seat but stated he hasn’t made a definite decision yet.

On September 4, 2020, Jefferson County Detectives were able to obtain an arrest warrant for the August 26th murder of 22 year old, Brandon Thomas of Dora. After completing a complex investigation, Detectives were able to determine that the suspect in the shooting of Thomas was 23 year old, Dalen Eliase Gaines of Jasper, Alabama.
Today, September 7, 2020, Labor Day, the rewards of the Detective’s hard work came to fruition. Walker County Sheriff’s Office received a tip from a citizen that Gaines was at a location in Jasper. Walker County Deputies located Gaines and took him into custody without incident. He is now housed in the Jefferson County Jail on the charge of Capital Murder.
We are so thankful for the teamwork of everyone involved. When our Deputies, the community and other agencies work together, it is a hard team to beat.

It is the fate of children of workers at many industrial parks and export processing zones in Ho Chi Minh City and surrounding locations.
From an early age, a lot of them must live far from home and are lucky to meet their parents once or twice a year, or live in overcrowded kindergartens to stay with their parents every night.
The situation has been created by the boom in labor-intensive industrial parks in recent decades.
There are dozens of such places in Ho Chi Minh City, plus others in nearby provinces like Dong Nai and Binh Duong.
On average, each industrial park needs nearly a hundred thousand workers, exceeding the supply of the communities in which they operate.
So the majority of workers there are ‘internal migrants’ from other provinces in the central or northern regions, living in rented rooms around their place of work.
The cluster of such a large number of emigrant workers creates a burden on social services in those localities, resulting in a lack of kindergartens and other services.
Residents living around Tan Tao Industrial Park in Tan Tao A Ward of Binh Tan District, Ho Chi Minh City often use spare rooms in their house or build new rooms in their gardens to board workers.
Nguyen Thi Hoa, 27, from the north-central province of Thanh Hoa, is a boarder in the area.
“I worked for a garment factory in this industrial park for five years before I stopped working to have my daughter after my maternity leave expired,” Hoa said.
“I don’t feel safe to send her to the nearby kindergarten because it’s overcrowded and I fear she is not well treated.
“And I can’t either bear missing her if I send her to my parents’ hometown hundreds of kilometers away.”
She said, “We now keep our daughter at home after sending her to the nearby kindergarten for four days.
“Once, my husband came in the evening to take her home but couldn’t find her.
“He went around and into a restroom and saw our daughter left there with her waste stained all over the body.”
Just a couple of babysitters take care of dozens of kids in a ward, she added.
But Hoa admitted that she will keep her daughter until she is six years old and send her home to go to school in the north-central province of Thanh Hoa.
An emigrant worker like her has no status for her children to be admitted into a public school while sending the girl to a private school costs too much.
Her monthly salary is VND3 million (US$133) and her husband’s is only slightly better.
Hoa is among rare cases in the boarding area of Tan Tao Industrial Park that agree to stop work to take care of their infant children.
Those willing to cease working to look after their infants often run a small grocer’s shop at their boarding room to make some extra money.
Following is the calculation of another worker in the boarding area.
“I can earn VND3 million a month by sending my child to kindergarten to go to work but it may be no more than the costs of medicine and the nursery where they are inadequately cared for,” the worker said.
Thus, the fate seems to be preordained for kids of emigrant workers at those industrial parks – living far from parents or living in overcrowded nurseries.
Whatever the choices, it is a long way for a child of six to go back to their hometown for school at that tender age.
To rectify the situation, the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City issued a decision in the middle of last month to require that industrial parks have enough space including boarding rooms for emigrant workers and sufficient kindergartens for their kids.

Complaint: Puppeteer Wanted to Kill, Eat Children For Whom He Performed
Published: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 at 7:26 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 at 7:26 a.m.
LARGO | Child predators are described as the stuff of parents' nightmares. But no parent would dream of the acts federal authorities say stoked the imagination of Ronald William Brown.
Brown, 57, lived alone in the Whispering Pines mobile home park in Largo, a professional puppeteer with a soft, Southern-accented voice and thick eyeglasses. He often served pizza to kids in the neighborhood, then drove them to services at Gulf Coast Church, where he was an active congregant.
But there was another side to Brown, according to a 29-page criminal complaint filed July 20 in federal court in Tampa: the man who, as he was feeding pizza to teenagers, nursed fantasies of murdering and eating them. The one who acted out Bible stories with puppets at his church, while musing online about carving and cooking the body parts of a young parishioner for Easter.
"I imagine him wiggling and then going still," Brown told an associate in an Internet chat session, describing his plot to kill and cannibalize a boy at Gulf Coast Church, according to the criminal complaint.
On Friday, Brown was arrested on charges of conspiring to kidnap a child and possession of child pornography and booked into the Pinellas County Jail. U.S. Department of Homeland Security agents who searched his home found lewd images of children bound and gagged, a flyer for a missing child, and "images of children that appear to be deceased."
According to the affidavit supporting the criminal complaint, Brown told agents that he and Kansas resident Michael Arnett, another alleged child cannibalism enthusiast, "did discuss killing, dismembering and eating" a specific boy at Gulf Coast Church. However, Brown said "it was just a fantasy and he could never and would never hurt anyone."
Brown told agents that Arnett traveled to Florida and tried to meet with him, but he didn't respond because he didn't want to follow through on the acts they had discussed online.
Arnett was arrested in May and charged with two counts related to the production, distribution and possession of child pornography. Ross Feinstein, spokesman at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said agents continue to investigate claims Arnett made to Brown that he had cannibalized a child.
Brown made a first appearance Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Tampa, wearing blue prisoners' garb, his graying hair disheveled. U.S. Magistrate Judge Thomas Wilson postponed the hearing so Brown could find a private attorney. He was ordered held without bail.
Tampa lawyer Eric Kuske, speaking on Brown's behalf to reporters Tuesday, said he believes Brown is innocent and the conspiracy charge won't hold up because Brown never actually met with Arnett. Brown has spoken to Kuske about representing him, but hasn't hired him yet.
"At this point, he doesn't believe he's done anything," Kuske said.
Brown had ties to a wide array of children's programs in the Tampa Bay area. In addition to the Gulf Coast Church, officials for the Tampa Bay Rays, the Pinellas County School District, the Christian Television Network, the city of Largo, and Gulf Coast Jewish Family & Community Services, among others, all said he had been hired or volunteered as a performer, instructor or mentor.
He has no criminal record in the state of Florida, which helps explain his frictionless association with these groups, many of which routinely perform background checks.
"We're incredibly shocked and saddened by the news," Gulf Coast Church Pastor Randy Morris said in an interview Tuesday from Orlando, where he was attending a conference. "It's a very sobering thought that he's been around our congregation for years. The charges against him are mind-boggling."
The affidavit describing Brown's extensive Internet chats about eating children is grotesque, even by the jaded standards of child abuse investigators. Brown and Arnett were discovered during an international child pornography crackdown that has led to 40 arrests in six countries. The pair's exchanges stood out to investigators.
"In my time here at this agency," Feinstein said, "I've never seen anything this gruesome."
Using online monikers that investigators traced to their computers, Brown and Arnett discussed killing — what they called "snuffing" — children as young as 2. Arnett described what different human body parts tasted like, roasted or cooked in a skillet, according to the complaint.
In one chat cited in the complaint, Arnett described drowning a little girl, and in another, he and Brown excitedly talked about a photo, shared by Arnett, of a 3-year-old girl being strangled.
"That's how I would enjoy doing" the unidentified boy from Gulf Coast Church, Brown said.
Morris, the church pastor, said the parents of the boy are "shocked and perplexed" by what federal authorities say Brown wanted to do to their son. "They're just reeling. It's very difficult for them to hear," Morris said.
He would not identify the boy or disclose his age, and said he is not sure if the boy himself has yet been made aware of the charges against Brown.
Federal authorities have presented no evidence that Brown actually harmed children. But the criminal complaint against him refers to two previous run-ins with local police that did not lead to charges.
In 1998, a Pinellas County sheriff's deputy stopped Brown for a traffic violation and observed boy's underwear between his front seats. Brown said he used the underwear to dress his puppets.
In 2010, Largo police were called to Brown's house by a neighbor who had suspicions about his habit of driving boys around. No arrest resulted.
Brown worked for years for the Christian Television Network in Largo, the state's oldest Christian broadcasting station. He performed with puppets on a Captain Kangaroo-style show called Joy Junction. In one episode, a video excerpt of which is available online, he operates a puppet that talks disdainfully about how some bad kids tried to show him pornography.
A receptionist at CTN's headquarters in Largo said Tuesday that the station had no comment on Brown's arrest, and would not make other officials available or allow a reporter into the building. It is not clear whether Brown still works there, though his Facebook page states he is employed as a control operator at the network.
Largo recreation program manager Warren Ankerberg knew Brown in his capacity as the leader of Smuppets, a city-sponsored senior citizen puppet troupe. (The name is a combination of "seniors" and "muppets.") Ankerberg said Brown was a skilled teacher and had a large collection of elaborate marionettes.
"He was always a gentleman," Ankerberg said. "He always seemed to be very gentle, very considerate of others."
Brown's neighbors at Whispering Pines mobile home park described him as reluctant to interact with adults, but quick to socialize with the park's many children.
Park resident Michael Gonzales said his live-in girlfriend's 13-year-old son sometimes attended Brown's pizza-and-church evenings. Brown had come to their house beforehand to seek their permission for the boy's participation, with a demeanor Gonzales described as "overly, excessively nice."
Brown lived with his parents in the mobile home until they died at least 10 years ago and now lives alone with a cat, said next-door neighbor Laurajane Schade. Sometimes he could be seen passing a solitary afternoon at the park's pool or riding his bicycle down its narrow streets.
Stacy Gaughan, who lives across the street from Brown, said she would often see him driving teenage boys to Gulf Coast Church in a van that the church lent to him. On Halloween, she said, he would crank up a cotton candy machine in front of his house and spend all night serving trick-or-treaters.
"We all thought he was weird," Gaughan said. "But we had no idea the things he was thinking."

Statoil’s Yeti well in the U.S. GoM’s Walker Ridge area delivered good drilling results, Bloomberg said. The company acquired 14 more leases adjacent to Yeti in the recent GoM sale.
The UK’s OGA will ensure North Sea producers extract Britain’s remaining 24 Bbbl of reserves, Reuters said. It will fine E&Ps that breach licenses. The OGA becomes a legislative body April 1.
KrisEnergy Ltd. contracted Key Gibraltar for six months for its Thai drilling program, which includes the Rossukon-2 well and 15 development wells in the Wassana oil field.
The well in the Sergipe-Alagoas Basin reached 2,990 m. The 2012 drillstem test confirmed 41 degree API oil and good reservoir productivity.
Statoil believes the drilling proposals lie outside the scope of current international sanctions against Russia. The company plans to drill the wells with OAO Rosneft, Reuters said.
The well was drilled southwest of the Edvard Grieg Field, according to the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate, Reuters said.
No hydrocarbons leaked after a supply vessel hit the Forties Echo platform in the UK portion of the North Sea, Reuters said. Apache North Sea operates the platform.
Maersk Drilling was awarded a contract from Eni Ghana Exploration and Production Ltd.

Referencing my 9/30 posting titled “Glow” (photo seen at right), Katie commented:
“the middle of the flower looks like a female silhouette, was that done on purpose? if not, amazing…if so, amazing still.”
To which my father (nicknamed “The King of Texas” by my friend Debbi) replied:
Katie is right on—there is definitely a female silhouette in the bloom. I can’t believe I missed it—thanks, Katie.
And I can see in the outline that the female is holding a child—great Scott, Cindy! You have captured the Madonna and Child—no, not that Madonna—the one that artists have portrayed over the centuries. Raphael is one of the most famous, but many have painted the Madonna and Child, The Holy Mother and Son, Mary and Jesus.
I can remember stories about images of Mary or Jesus or both being found in tree bark, in a toasted cheese sandwich, in a piece of toast, in an oil slick on the pavement, potato chips and Doritos, and there are probably many more that I missed. And all have drawn crowds of one size or another.
If the news of your Holy Vision in a picture of (whatever that is) gets out, especially to this part of the U.S. and to our nearest neighbor to the south, the faithful will be beating a path to your door. They’ll leave all sorts of flowers, emblems, wreaths, burning candles and notes with wishes and prayers. You’ll have to hose them down just to get out to your car—the faithful, not the burning candles—although the candles could pose a problem for the local fire department.
And it’s possible—nay, probable, that some will bring sick and suffering friends or family members so they can be near such an apparition, in the hopes they will be comforted, perhaps healed.
I believe that you should submit this photo to your local papers, to one or more photography magazines, perhaps present it to some of your local theologians for inspection and comments. You need to protect your rights on this one—it may be a real winner.
And, of course, a closer look may lead one to believe that the image shows a woman holding one child aloft and pregnant with another. Hey, it could still be Mary—we have no way of knowing whether it is, or is not. After all, Joseph had been waiting on the sidelines for quite awhile, probably with mounting impatience (no pun intended) before the Babe was born, and he must have been filled with joy that the Child had arrived. Most men will be able to relate to the joy he felt—I sure can.
And to further clarify, he e-mailed me this morning with:
And if you, with a bit of imagination, can see the outline of a pregnant woman holding a child, I suggest you add another factor, provided your imagination supports it. Since one cannot see any suggestion of clothing in the shadowy image, the figures are probably nude. At any rate, that’s what I see (no big surprise there, huh?). Hey, maybe they’re in the shower.
And if I keep looking at the photo long enough and let my imagination run rampant, I’ll probably find Joseph lurking in the darkness. And if I can’t see him, I can always imagine that he’s somewhere close, just to flesh out (no pun intended) the story.
Incidentally, I found this definition online at http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/flesh.html. I have never confused “flesh out” with “flush out,” but apparently others have—hence the need for an explanation.
One more “incidental:” This refers to the proper use of further vs farther: I found an explanation of their usages at http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/farther. In the definition of “flesh out” versus “flush out,” the author used the word correctly.
I know, I know. I have a lot of time on my hands, an expression that I have often used and will continue to use. I’m still waiting to hear someone say, or write, that perhaps I should “stop dragging my knuckles.”
There—since I am the first to apply that description, I’ve beat everyone else to the punch. (I found the definition for “beat to the punch” at http://www.yourdictionary.com/idioms/beat-to-it). It’s defined as follows:
beat to the draw or punch:
1. To get ahead of someone to obtain something, as in: There was only enough for one, so Jane ran as fast as she could in order to beat Jerry to it. [Colloquial; c. 1900]
2. Beat to the draw or punch. To react more quickly than someone else, as in: The new salesman tried to serve one of my customers, but I beat him to the draw and Bill was determined to get there first and beat everyone else to the punch. The variants imply aggression to get ahead, draw alluding to the drawing of a pistol and punch to hitting with the fists. [Second half of 1800s]
Hey, this has to stop somewhere, so I’m outta here.

Knowing what's covered, and what's not covered by the extended auto warranty you're considering is absolutely vital.
Does the warranty cover breakdown as well as wear and tear? Under a "breakdown" warranty, coverage is extended only to parts that break. Such an extended auto warranty can prove less inclusive than is desirable, since not all parts fail due to breakage. Some need to be replaced because they've worn down over a period of time; a "wear-and-tear" warranty extends coverage to worn-down parts in need of replacement.
Additionally, some extended auto warranties do not cover TSB's. A Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) or Factory Service Bulletin is a notification by the manufacturer that a condition may exist on your vehicle.
Sometimes there is a problem requiring immediate attention; often these bulletins are issued to facilitate a quicker diagnosis or repair procedures from your repair facility. It is common for a vehicle to have dozens of TSBs issued.
Most companies will deny any claim related to a TSB. This is a huge coverage loophole. Additionally, ABS brakes (anti-lock brakes), and overheating -- regardless of its cause -- aren't covered in many car warranties. Thus, if overheating occurred due to problems with an expensive part such as your radiator, you'd be stuck with a hefty repair bill.
Before committing to an extended auto warranty, take the time to fully explore the ins and outs of its coverage implications. The distinctions between the various plans might seem slight, but they can prove quite important.

Police: 5-year-old does not have cancer; mom charged
Leatha Slauson, 30, arrested Thursday night
Police in Atlantic, Iowa, are discouraging the community from making further contributions to a fund set up for a girl who allegedly had cancer.
Authorities announced on Friday that Leatha Kaye Slauson, 30, of Atlantic, has been charged with one count of felony child endangerment.
At a news conference Friday, authorities said Slauson faces another charge of distribution of drugs (cannabis oil) to a child under the age of 18.
Slauson is being held in the Cass County Jail as the investigation continues, police said.
The preliminary results of the investigation indicate that the child does not suffer from any life-threatening illnesses, police said.
"During the past year, the local community, as well as others around Cass County and beyond, have rallied to help the family financially, and to make what was believed to be the child's remaining time as enjoyable as possible. Individuals and organizations have organized fundraisers and a trip to Disney World in order to assist the family through what was believed to be a difficult time," the statement from police read.
Police said the early stages of the investigation indicate Slauson is the only person involved in the matter.
Authorities said the father has been cooperative with the investigation.
Our cameras were there as the family left their Atlantic home Friday morning. They had no comment.
At this point, investigators are discouraging further donations to the Super Riley Fund.
Atlantic Fire Chief Mark McNees issued the following statement on the fire department's Facebook page:
"The Atlantic Fire Department is saddened to hear of the events surrounding the family of Super Riley. This is now a family and legal matter. Riley was made an honorary member of our department because of her desire to become a firefighter someday, and our desire to make her dream come true. Under the current circumstances she needs our support more than ever and will remain an honorary member and we wish her nothing but the best in her future."

Last night before my girlfriend and I watched the latest James Bond 007 movie, The Quantum of Solace, of which a review of sorts is coming shortly, I picked up a new book from National Bookstore.
It is John Grisham’s latest best-seller The Appeal. Since this is not a review and I haven’t even removed the plastic shrink-wrap from the book, I’d share the teaser printed on the back hoping that I won’t get sued for it.
In a crowded courtroom in Missippi, a jury returns a shocking verdict against a chemical company accused of dumping toxic waste into a small town’s water supply, causing the worst “cancer cluster” in history. The company appeals to the Missippi Supreme Court, whose nine justices will one day either approve the verdict or reverse it.
Who are the nine? How will they vote? Can one be replaced before the case is ultimately decided?
The chemical company is owned by a Wall Street predator named Carl Trudeau, and Mr. Trudeau is convinced the Court is not friendly enough. With judicial elections looming, he decides to try to purchase himself a seat on the Court. The cost is a few million dollars, a drop in the bucket for a billionaire like Mr. Trudeau. Through an intricate web of conspiracy and deceit, his political operatives recruit a young, unsuspecting candidate. They finance him, manipulate him, market him, and mold him into a potential Supreme Court justice. Their Supreme Court justice.
The book is timely since Barack Obama’s historic election as US President is still making waves throughout the world and here at home, election season is just around the corner. More so, just as in the book, our own Philippine Supreme Court is about to face a similar situation wherein seven, yes that’s seven Supreme Court Justices will retire next year. Once more, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo will have the greatest chance of consolidating her hold in the Supreme Court by having the power to appoint another set of Justices to fill the vacancies.
Though the manner of selecting justices in the state of Missippi is different, theirs is by election while ours, since we only have one Supreme Court, is by Presidential appointment, the process is still the same, it is political in nature.
Now that Arroyo’s stolen term as President is coming to an end, the process of selecting Supreme Court justices would have a profound effect in our country in the coming years especially with all the issues of Charter Change, corruption and election fraud are still lingering. Thankfully, the great constitutionalist Fr. Joaquin Bernas, SJ discusses this process in his Inquirer column to which many would gain many eye-opening goodies.
Now, as I will begin to read the book this week, I cannot help but ask questions parallel to points in the book like, would Mr. Trudeau’s scheme and machinations give a glimpse of how GMA would select the new Supreme Court justices? Who would be the seven new justices? Would they, in the future decide in favor to GMA in the event she is prosecuted after her Presidency? The messages in the Inquirer’s Editorial for today are a good starting points for answers.
Over all, this would be good read in the following weeks.

Prep Time 13.03.11
Exhibition Status: 40 days till the opening night
My Current Status: A cocktail of excitement, optimism and a splash of anxiety.
All works are now complete and have been sent to the framers ready for the show. All works will be for sale so hopefully I will come across some eager investors! There will be 13 drawings of a variety of different sizes. I want the curation of show to mimic the playful discourse of the works with a professional, minimal finish.
Whilst the framers work their magic, I will be researching into my new series of drawing works of the ‘Social’ alongside working on a collaborative performative project with Rosanne Robertson.

http://ocw.mit.edu 5.111 Principles of Chemical Science
See lecture 21 and 22 notes for acid-base equilibrium and lecture 22 and 23 notes for
an introduction to buffers.
A buffer solution is any solution that maintains an approximately constant pH despite
small additions of acid and base. The pH of a buffer is maintained by a mixture of weak
conjugate acids and bases, which provides a source or sink for protons.
Blood is buffered in the pH range 7.35-7.45 Buffering agents in blood: H2CO3/HCO3- (carbonic acid/bicarbonate) Example from Lecture 23 video: Effects on Blood pH from Vitamin B12 Deficiency
The buffering capacity of a buffered solution can be overcome by the addition of
excessive acid or base.
An instance of too much acid affecting the pH of blood occurs in the disease
methylmalonic aciduria, a metabolic disorder in which methylmalonic acid builds up in
the blood and overcomes the H2CO3/HCO3- buffering capacity.
In healthy individuals, fatty acids (fats) are converted into energy through the series of
steps shown below. Enzymes catalyze each of these steps, and the enzyme
methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MUT), which requires vitamin B12 binding for activity,
catalyzes the conversion of methylmalonyl-CoA to succinyl-CoA. In the absence of
sufficient vitamin B12 or in cases where vitamin B12 cannot bind to MUT,
methylmalonyl-CoA is instead converted to methylmalonic acid, and buildup of this acid
can result in a lowering of blood pH.

OH CH3 citric acid cycle
wild-type MUT enzyme (in white)
with vitamin B12 (in red) bound (excessive acid build up) energy In methylmalonic aciduria, the MUT-catalyzed step cannot occur, resulting in a buildup of
acid instead of the conversion of fatty acids into energy.
The disease methylmalonic aciduria can be caused by insufficient vitamin B12 intake.
However, it is most often caused by a genetic mutation in the gene encoding the MUT
enzyme. A single amino acid substitution from a glycine (the smallest amino acid) to an
arginine (a much larger amino acid) can destroy all MUT activity. Using X-ray crystallography, scientists determined that the glycine-to-arginine mutation
occurs in the B12 binding pocket, blocking vitamin B12 binding (see pictures A and B
below). This explains why it is not effective to treat individuals with methylmalonic
aciduria with high doses of B12, since the B12 cannot bind to MUT. Using this
information, scientists are now looking into treatment with a truncated B12 mimic that can
bind in the blocked pocket of the mutant MUT enzyme (see picture C below). This
truncated B12 can partially restore MUT activity, and may lead to a successful treatment
for methylmalonic aciduria. The MUT enzyme is shown in white, the arginine residue in the mutant enzyme is shown
(blocking the binding pocket) in blue, and vitamin B12 is shown in red. ...
