I am a content creator with a passion for brands that have a voice in the world. My most recent position involved producing media content for the L'Oreal owned brand, Pulp Riot. Prior to that, I completely rebranded for the guitar string company, Cleartone Strings. I've also worked with companies like Nikon, Samsung, Tinder, and YouTube, along with various musicians, models, and influencers, creating photo and video content for promotions.
In my free time, I enjoy digital painting, shooting film with my Pentax 6x7, and exploring the beautiful nature that southern California has to offer.

2011 – PRESENT
At the beginning of 2011, Egypt experienced a revolution which was the beginning of economic instability, negative travel advice and the isolation of the international airport of Sharm el Sheikh. This resulted in a total collapse of tourism even though everything always was and is safe in South Sinai.
At the end of 2019 tourism started to pick up again but then…corona came and the war between Russia and the Ukraine, what caused again a big inflation wave.
Although tourism is slowly starting to pick up again and charter airlines are returning to Sharm el Sheikh airport, many Bedouin have had to struggle for too long to survive.
When things go bad for humans, the situation for animals becomes many times worse.
Shortage of healthy, reliable Camels
One of the consequences has been that many Bedouin were forced to sell their camels to slaughter for which on top of it they unfortunately received a meagre amount.
Happily, this does not apply to the Bedouin and their camels that are supported by the Dalèl Foundation.
Result however is that a shortage of healthy and reliable camels for desert work has gradually surfaced, putting the Bedouin culture under even more pressure.
Another consequence is a situation for those with their heart in the right place …
These are Bedouin who have always resisted and refused to exchange their aging camel for a younger one because they want to give their elderly camel a good old age.
Which means that these people did not and still do not have the financial means to purchase a younger camel for the continuation of income and to pass on their culture to a younger generation.
Waste & Cardboard
For those camels that survived but do not fall under the work of the Foundation, the situation is lousy: they often get to eat waste from hotels and restaurants instead of corn and grain, and eat cardboard instead of hay.
The waste from hotels and restaurants is usually not free, so has to be paid for. On top of this the amount of waste has also decreased because the restaurants and hotels also have/had almost no tourists anymore.
Hotels and restaurants in Egypt do not separate their waste, so the waste contains besides food remains also cigarette filters, plastic, pieces of glass, etc.
The plastic problem
There is little to no awareness among the population of how harmful waste is.
For example, plastic bags, plastic packaging, diapers, glass, cigarette filters and chewing gum are simply thrown on the ground, out of moving cars or left on beaches without a municipal collection service.
This ends in the sea but also in bushes that animals graze on.
Many camels have already died from too much plastic in their stomachs (even plastic bags!), which closes everything off.
The good news
Fortunately, the Foundation has been able to help three families with their heart in the right place so that they can at least give their elderly camel a good old age …
Two sons of such a family, who are excellent cameleers, also build up income with and through the camels of Joyce …
In addition, the Foundation has rescued seven Camels from slaughter or otherwise and has relocated five of them, including at three families with the heart in the right place.
One of these camels, named Asfur, was the initiator to start the Adoption Programme in 2012.
♥ Asfur, saved from slaughter and relocated, initiator of the adoption program. Asfur is fully adopted.
♥ Tunesie, the most favourite camel among DesertJoy participants, saved in 2014, his owner is now really his owner …
♥ ♥ Hindi & Ghayyadh, both saved from slaughter (2011 + 2018) and relocated. Both still need adopters…
♥ Dahrutsj, he can enjoy a good old age but is still in need of adopters …

Come, friendly bombs, and fall on Slough. But avoid the industrial estate off junction 14 of the M25, because it is now Grade II-listed.
The McKay Trading Estate is one of 16 new additions to Historic England’s register of protected buildings, joining the stately Sainsbury Wing at the National Gallery as a shining example of post-modernism.
Slough first developed an image problem when Sir John Betjeman wrote his poem in 1937. Things went from bad to worse when Ricky Gervais chose Slough Trading Estate as the bleak setting for The Office.
However, according to Historic England, McKay’s is a thing of beauty as “the building, forecourt and car parking define the space and represent an urban piazza”. The effect is an “evocation of traditional European squares”, with architectural flourishes that nod to Le Corbusier.
Designed by John Outram, the warehouses and office space were completed in 1978 and now house several freight businesses servicing nearby Heathrow.
“It was a bit of a shock to find out we might be listed,” said one employee. Do workers feel transported to a European piazza when they arrive each day? “It’s an industrial estate. It certainly doesn’t feel like Venice.”
Historic England has also listed Aztec West, a business park off the M4 near Bristol, which boasts “a Hollywood glamour, accentuated by elements of Art Deco design”.
Sixteen post-modern buildings have been added to the register, recognising a style that had its heyday in the 1980s.
Duncan Wilson, chief executive of Historic England, said: “Post-Modern architecture brought fun and colour to our streets. These are scarce survivals of a really influential period of British architecture and these buildings deserve the protection that listing gives them.”
The Sainsbury Wing has been granted Grade I status. It was opened in 1991 and designed by the architects Venturi, Rauch and Scott Brown. The design replaced an earlier, more radical vision by Ahrends, Burton and Koralek, which the Prince of Wales famously described as a “monstrous carbuncle” and which was refused planning permission.
Charles’s Jencks’s Thematic House, an “inventive and ingenious” home in west London conceived by the architecture critic credited with fostering Post-Modernism, is on the list. The interiors are based around the seasons and the passage of the sun and moon, with a spiral staircase symbolising the sun’s rays.
The new additions to the register include a number of housing schemes, four of them in London’s Docklands, and two buildings in Cambridge: Judge Business School and the Katharine Stephen Rare Books Library at Newnham College.
Truro Crown Courts in Cornwall has also been listed, with the architects praised for “creating a place which is at the same time humane but reflects its sober purpose”.
The listings were approved by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.
Britain’s first exhibition devoted to Britain’s post-modern movement opens at Sir John Soane’s Museum in London next week, billed as an exploration of “one of the most inventive periods in British architectural history”.

TROPE, Beatriz M. et al. Cryptococcal panniculitis in a renal transplant recipient. An. Bras. Dermatol. [online]. 2008, vol.83, n.3, pp.233-236. ISSN 0365-0596. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0365-05962008000300007.
The authors report a case of cryptococcal panniculitis in a renal transplant recipient,which was initially mistaken for bacterial cellulitis. Dermatological evaluation and laboratory studies led to the definitive diagnosis. Treatment was started with amphotericin B, followed by oral fluconazol, taking into consideration their interactions with the immunossupressive drugs. Even though clinical improvement was attained after six months, treatment was maintained during a whole year. We discuss this rare presentation of cutaneous cryptococcosis in a solid organ transplant recipient, as well as its diagnosis and therapy.
Keywords : Cryptococcosis; Fungemia; Immunosuppression; Kidney transplantation; Panniculitis.

According to Klix, Kelmendi's lawyer Besnik Berisha stated that Pristina will not honor a Bosnian warrant for Kelmendi, who is wanted for six murders, illegal money transferring, and drug trafficking. Authorities allege that he is responsible for a large cocaine and heroin operation run from Sarajevo. The Bosnian Ministry of Justice made a statement saying it has not received official word from Kosovo if he will be extradited.
Kelmendi was arrested on the basis of an Interpol warrant filed by Bosnia. He was released after 48 hours and subsequently arrested by the European Rule of Law Mission (EULEX). EULEX has no mandate to extradite a Kosovo citizen, however Kelmendi holds dual Kosovar and Bosnian citizenship.
Bosnia's lack of recognition of Kosovo's sovereignty has complicated extradition in the past. Kelmendi's son was detained in Kosovo in 2012 but was released.
Kelmendi denied the charges against him, saying they are politically motivated. Kelmendi is a close associate of Bosnian Minister of Security Fahrudin Radoncic. He has been arrested numerous times but has rarely faced charges. He is recognized by police throughout the region and the US Government as a one of several large regional drug kingpins trafficking heroin, cigarettes and cocaine though the region.

The COVID-19 pandemic has made it harder for millions of homeowners to pay their mortgages. To reduce the risk of widespread foreclosures, Congress recently passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) (Mar. 27, 2020). The CARES Act gives some borrowers temporary protection from foreclosure. But about a third of all borrowers are not covered. This article explains who is covered by the CARES Act, what it offers, how to help those who are covered, and how to help those who are not. Our thanks to the National Consumer Law Center and LAWNY for providing this information.
Please contact Catholic Charities of Chemung/Schuyler to talk with our skilled Housing Counselors who can help you work through this information and determine what course of action is best for you: Karen Wheeler (734-9784 x2132) Amy Bell (734-9784 x2127)
Homeowners Protected by the CARES Act
The CARES Act mortgage relief provisions apply to “federally backed mortgage loans,” defined as first or second mortgages on 1–4 family homes (including cooperative and condominium units) issued, purchased, or backed by the following agencies:
Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac;
U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA);
Federal Housing Administration (FHA), including home equity conversion (HECM) reverse mortgages, and mortgages under the Indian Home Loan Guarantee program; and
U. S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
- Assistance for Homeowners with Federally Backed Mortgages
If the borrower has a federally backed mortgage loan, the CARES Act provides two kinds of relief: a foreclosure moratorium and the right to a forbearance.
– Foreclosure Moratorium. CARES ACT forbids servicers of federally backed mortgage loans from “initiat[ing] any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure process, mov[ing] for a foreclosure judgment or order of sale, or execut[ing] a foreclosure-related eviction or foreclosure sale” through May 17, 2020. This applies only to occupied properties and does not require the homeowner to take any action. Nevertheless, contact the servicer’s attorney to ensure that any scheduled foreclosure is canceled.
– Forbearance of Mortgage Payments and How to Get One. A forbearance is a temporary suspension of the borrower’s duty to make full mortgage payments and the mortgage creditor’s right to enforce any delinquency.
Homeowners Who Do NOT Have a Federally Backed Mortgage Loan
If a homeowner has a mortgage loan that does not meet the definition of “federally backed mortgage loan,” CARES Act protections do not apply (except for the credit reporting provisions in CARES Act § 4021, discussed above).
- State Foreclosure Relief
Many states have adopted broad foreclosure moratoriums that protect borrowers regardless of loan type, and some states have instituted mortgage loan forbearance programs. New York State has issued orders related to forbearance. Contact Catholic Charities’ Housing Counselors for more information.
- Voluntary Federal Guidance
Federal bank regulators have issued guidance encouraging institutions to work with borrowers and relaxing some standards that may previously have limited a servicer’s flexibility to offer relief.
- How to Get Non-CARES Act Relief and What to Ask For
Borrowers should contact their servicer by phone or online. Online may be the faster option as servicers are currently overwhelmed by the number of calls they are receiving. Log in to the borrower’s account and see what options the servicer is offering. It may be possible to apply online. Borrowers can also request assistance by writing to the servicer.

Suburbs Rebel Against Trump, Threatening Republicans in Congress
The American suburbs appear to be in revolt against President Trump after a muscular coalition of college-educated voters and racial and ethnic minorities on Tuesday dealt the Republican Party a thumping rejection and propelled a diverse class of Democrats into office.
My thoughts and prayers are with the GOP.

Trump's Katrina Worsens
Thousands of Puerto Ricans struggled to feed themselves in the wake of Hurricane Maria, skipping meals and waiting hours in line for federal shipments of canned goods.
But a package of federal programs that could have helped feed thousands - and that channeled hundreds of dollars to needy families in Texas and Florida after hurricanes Harvey and Irma - have not been deployed in Puerto Rico, limiting the reach of the island’s emergency food assistance.
Among other things, the government did not issue emergency food stamps to people who lost their homes in the storm and who do not usually receive benefits, a measure that was taken in both Florida and Texas.

Net gains for politicians
We are constantly told, probably by someone making money out of it, that the 2016 US presidential race will be won or lost on the internet. This is in many ways true – and is hardly the most original point ever made. Unless that is, you’re presidential contender Hillary Clinton, a woman who appears to have a weaker grasp of 21st-century technology than, I dunno, Benjamin Franklin.
During the New Hampshire leg of the campaign, Hillary got chatting with a voter who wanted a selfie. He explained that she had posed for one with his friend earlier in the week and it had ‘gone viral’, to which Hillary replied: ‘He went viral? Sounds like some kind of disease.’ Now, despite being no fan of Clinton, I’d be willing to file this one under ‘Crap Jokes’ rather than ‘Moronic Technophobia’ were it not for the fact that Hillary has form when it comes to IT idiocy.
Last year it also emerged that she has no idea how to use a fax machine and that she hasn’t the faintest how to send an email from a computer. Ironically this information was found on a private server in her house from which she had managed to delete over 31,000 ‘personal’ emails without any help from the FBI, which had requested to see them. I’m amazed she even knew how to turn it off and on again.
She also tried to stem the tide of youth votes to hopelessly in-touch septuagenarian Bernie Sanders by posting a major advert on the log-in page for AOL.com, a service used almost exclusively by silver surfers who still use dial-up modems to access the ‘worldwide web’. I dread to think how much energy her team has spent wooing voters on the MySpace bulletin boards.
Hillary might possess all the technical know-how of someone who keeps their Nokia mobile phone in the kitchen drawer, but the same can’t be said for Republican candidate Ted Cruz. Cruz has embraced the internet as a way of impressing prospective supporters from the get-go, even making a YouTube video demonstrating that quaint ole Texas tradition of cooking bacon… using a machine gun. The message being: a man who makes his breakfast using lethal military hardware is surely a man of principle and integrity.
In general, politicians and the Net don’t get on, largely because – thanks to the internet – we now have more information about what they are really like than ever before. Although, as the case of US politician Anthony Weiner, who was shamed after posting his… weiner online, proves: you can end up with too much information if you’re not careful.
Perhaps the most misjudged attempt to use the internet to engage with the electorate took place in Hawaii last year, when, in his bid to become a State Senator, councillor Greggor Ilagan asked for support in using mobile dating app Tinder. He quickly abandoned the project when he was inundated with hot dates from horny voters of both sexes. I’m not sure if a similar strategy could help Hillary engage more effectively, but I’m certain Bill Clinton must be gutted that Tinder didn’t exist when he was running for Office.

This is a project carried out in the department of Amazonas in the province of Rodriguez de Mendoza, in a town called-Shucush, where my mother is from and with which I feel very connected with through the environment and the Family. This project seeks a joint reflection with the community about their customs, traditions and ancestral knowledge that are being lost. Among them: the use of the achiote seed as a cultural symbol in food and ceramics. The sugar mill as a space for sharing and working in community. And the use of adobe (earth with straw) as an element in the construction of houses that better support and channel high temperatures of heat and rain. These elements are part of their life and ancestral knowledge that they have developed through the practice and transmission of a generational knowledge.
The State as a governmental institution brings with it the concept of development and modernity through projects such as the construction of houses for people with “scarce resources”. Through the materiality “cement” and the configuration of limited-closed spaces through walls it imposes as a new form of modern life based on individualism and money, breaking community relations and their relationship with the environment and nature, where traditions and customs are lost in their ways of life. For this reason, the intention of creating this enclosure is that through the action of building a place together, we can reactivate dialogue and reflect on issues that concern us as a community such as the resource of water and how to generate tools for a common good. This enclosure seeks to generate welfare in the community and revalidate this knowledge with the practice of rituals that is the basis of a life based on the concept of good living with and in harmony with nature.

Australia loses 2-1 to Canada at Hopman Cup, with Bernard Tomic and Samantha Stosur beaten
Bernard Tomic admits he simply had no answers to Milos Raonic's powerful serve in a 7-6 (8-6), 6-1 Hopman Cup loss to the powerful Canadian on Saturday night.
And fellow Australian Sam Stosur made her customary slow start to the summer with a 4-6, 6-2, 6-3 loss to Eugenie Bouchard, giving Canada an unassailable 2-0 lead in the tie.
Australia need to beat Italy and Poland in their remaining two ties to have any chance of reaching the final.
Tomic put up a big fight in the opening set, battling from a break down to send it to a tiebreak in front of 7930 fans at Perth Arena.
But Raonic's 220km/h serves eventually wore Tomic down, the world number 11 producing some big aces to win the tie-break before racing through the second set in just 22 minutes.
"He has the best serve in the world right now. There wasn't much I could do," Tomic said.
"His serve was that good. I was struggling to get a racquet on it.
"The first set was close.
"It came down to the one point I had a mistake on in the tiebreak, and it cost me."
Raonic felt the momentum swing his way after winning the first set.
"I think it was more him dropping off a little bit," Raonic said.
"He made some errors he wasn't making (in the first set), but I felt like I was also putting a bit more pressure on him."
Tomic starred at last summer's Hopman Cup, beating then world number one Novak Djokovic, Italian Andreas Seppi and German Tommy Haas.
The 21-year-old went on to win the Sydney International, before making the third round of the Australian Open.
But his bid to break into the world's top 10 went pear shaped from that point on, with a series of first-round bomb outs resulting in a slip to 51st in the rankings.
Tomic has set his sights on breaking into the world's top 20 in 2014.
The right-hander said he was not concerned about his performance against Raonic, saying it was always hard to perform first-up following an off-season break.
Stosur and Tomic saved face in the mixed doubles with a 6-2, 6-4 victory.
Poland handed first up win
World number five Agnieszka Radwanska got her new season off to a fine start with a straight sets win over Flavia Pennetta as Poland beat Italy at the Hopman Cup.
After Radwanska edged past the 31st-ranked Pennetta, the Poles clinched the tie in unlikely circumstances, when the 288th-ranked Grzegorz Panfil was handed victory over Andreas Seppi in the men's singles after the Italian retired due to illness.
Panfil, who was a late call-up for the tournament following the withdrawal of Jerzy Janowicz due to injury, won the first set and scores were level in the second when Seppi retired.
That gave Poland, nominally the tournament's top seeds but outsiders for the tie after Janowicz's withdrawal, an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the Group A encounter.
They were also handed the mixed doubles in a walkover for a 3-0 win in the first tie of the tournament.
Radwanska only arrived in Perth the night before her match against Pennetta, but looked in good touch in cruising to a 6-2, 6-2 win against the Italian, who has been ranked as high as 10th in the world.
The match was closer than the scoreline suggested, with the Italian creating six break points to Radwanska's four.
The 24-year-old Radwanska sealed the win with a simple forehand into the open court and was pleased to perform so well given the circumstances of her opening match.
"I didn't have much time to adjust and I only slept for like three hours," she said after a match that was played under an open roof on a warm day.
"In Poland it was about five degrees so I was very happy I could play my best tennis, playing alright for the first day here."
The 25th-ranked Seppi should have been far too good for Panfil, but the Italian never looked comfortable on the court after being broken in the very first game.
After dropping the first set, Seppi called for the trainer early in the second set and a few minutes later retired at 2-2, complaining he had been feeling unwell for a couple of days.
Seppi told tournament officials he was hopeful of being fit to play in Italy's next tie against Australia on Tuesday.

In thermodynamics, changes occur to variables like heat, volume, internal energy, entropy, pressure, and temperature. We can visualise these changes more easily by making diagrams, which show the relationship between these changes and the thermodynamic stages of a process. These unique diagrams are known as PV diagrams (pressure-volume diagrams).
You might also see PV diagrams written as p-V diagrams. Also, in A-levels, the symbol for pressure is typically p (small letter). However, you may also see the symbol P (capital letter). In this explanation, we have used p, but in many of our other explanations, P is used. Both are acceptable, but you must remain consistent in your choice (and follow what your textbook or teacher uses).
Before we get into the details, let’s look at how to plot a PV diagram (the following information will become more apparent as you read through this explanation!). To begin your plot, you will need to find the solutions and relationships between the thermodynamic cycle. Here is a helpful list of how to plot your PV diagrams:
A valuable characteristic of PV diagrams and models of thermodynamic processes is their symmetry. One example of this symmetry is an isobaric process (constant pressure) with a volume expansion from state 1 to state 2. You can see this in diagram 1.
Because of the mechanical work definition, when calculating work done (as pressure per change in volume) in PV diagrams, you can easily calculate this as the area below the curve or process (if this is a straight line). For example, in an isobaric process, the work is equal to the pressure multiplied by the volume change.
Mechanical work is the amount of energy that is transferred by a force.
When it comes to drawing basic PV diagrams, there are specific rules you must follow:
Using the rules above, we can create diagrams for an isothermal process of expansion and compression.
For isothermals (isothermic process lines), larger temperatures will be further away from the origin. As the diagram below shows, temperature T2 is larger than temperature T1, which is represented by how far they are from their origin.
PV diagrams for adiabatic processes are similar. In this case, adiabatic processes follow this equation:
Because of this equation, the processes form a much steeper curve (see the image below). In PV diagrams, the main difference between isothermals and adiabats (lines in adiabatic processes) is their steeper slope. In this process, expansion and compression follow the same behaviours as isothermals.
Constant volume (isometric or isochoric) processes and constant pressure (isobaric) processes follow a straight line in PV diagrams. You can see these processes below.
In a process with constant volume (isometric or isochoric), lines will be straight, vertical lines (see diagram 6). There is no area below the lines in these cases, and the work is zero. The diagram shows a process from state 1 to state 2 with increased pressure on the left and a process going in the opposite direction from state 1 to state 2 on the right.
In a constant pressure (isobaric) process, lines will be straight, horizontal lines. In these cases, the area below the lines is regular, and we can calculate the work by multiplying the pressure by the volume change. In diagram 7, you can see a process from state 1 to state 2 with increased volume (below) and a process going in the opposite direction from state 1 to state 2 (above).
In many processes (such as in isobaric ones), work can be negative. You can see this when the gas goes from a larger volume to a smaller one. This is expressed in the equation below. If Vf < Vi, then W is negative.
PV diagrams simplify the work done and make it easier to represent changes in gas. We can make an easy example of this following a thermodynamic cycle.
A piston expands during an isothermal process from state 1 to state 2 with a volume of 0.012m3. During the process, its pressure on the gas decreases from p1 to p2 by half. Later, the piston follows an isometric process (constant volume), which expands its pressure to its initial value. It then goes back to its original state via an isobaric state. Draw and calculate the values of pressure and volume.
First, we need to calculate the value for the volume at state 2. An isothermal process follows Boyle’s law, so we use the following equation:
We solve for V2 by replacing p2 with p1/2.
This means that the volume V2 at state 2 is now 0.024m3. This value will be to the right of the original V1 value, as you can see in the image below. In the first step, the volume increase means the process goes left to right. The volume increase also decreases the pressure inside the piston from p1 to p2.
We know this process follows an isometric relationship where it reaches the same pressure as before. In the second step, the volume stays the same (isometric or isochoric), increasing the pressure inside the piston from p2 to p3, where p3 is equal to p1. This means the variables are now V3=V2 and p3=p1.
This means our next state will be at the same horizontal line as state 1 and the same vertical line as state 2. The following process is an isobaric process, which takes the gas inside the piston to the same original state 1. In this case, as we are at the same horizontal line as process 1, connecting the process is the last step.
You can also find out how work and heat behave in the example above.
The heat is equal to the area below the curves or lines. In the example, only two lines have an area below the curve, and these represent the expansion of the piston (state 1 to state 2) and the compression of the piston (state 3 to state 1). The work will be equal to the difference in both areas.If we look at the heat, we can assume the gas is expanding, and this is work done by the gas on the piston. Thus, the gas is giving energy.
In processes 2 to 3, the gas increases its pressure in the piston. The only way this can happen is by introducing external energy into the gas. The molecules start moving rapidly, and the gas wants to expand, but it can’t. In this case, work is not done because the piston does not move (but we are giving energy to the gas).
In the process 3 to 1, we compress the gas without exerting pressure on it, and it decreases in volume. This can only be achieved by heat loss. Therefore, the gas is giving energy back, and at the same time, we give mechanical energy to the piston to compress it.
Many engines or turbine systems can be idealised by following a series of thermodynamic processes. Some of these include the Brayton cycle, Stirling cycle, Carnot cycle, Otto cycle, or Diesel cycle. You can see the PV diagrams of the Carnot cycle below.
In many problems that model combustion engines, turbomachinery, or even biological processes, it is customary to use thermal engines and thermodynamic diagrams and processes to simplify the represented objects.
Here’s how you plot a PV diagram: identify the processes in the cycle, identify useful relationships between the variables, look for keywords that give you useful information, calculate any variable that you need, order your data, and then draw the cycle.
In PV diagrams, each point shows what state the gas is in. Whenever a gas undergoes a thermodynamic process, its state will change, and this path (or process) is mapped out in the PV diagram. When plotting a PV diagram, there are basic rules to follow so that you plot the correct process path. These are the rules: (1) the y-axis represents the pressure, and the x-axis represents the volume; (2) increasing pressure values follow a down-to-up direction, and increasing volume values follow left to right; and (3) an arrow indicates the direction of the processes.

The microalgae named Dunaliellatertiolecta, holds a high quantity of sugars such as starch and cellulose due to which it has gained more attention in the biofuel industry. Microalgal extract carbohydrate can be utilized as a source for the output of ethyl alcohol or ethanol. The purpose of the present work is to study, how the sugar extract of marine algae can possibly be used by investigating the usage of Nakaseomycesdelphensisfor ethanol production. With the help of fermentation process the produced ethanol is distilled and measured qualitatively by laboratory model distillation unit and GC chromatography respectively.The measurements will be in comparison with the standard analytical grade ethanol. This data will give us the potential of marine algae in the output of bioethanol.
Ethanol; Fermentation; Carbohydrate Extraction;Yeast; Marine algae, Glucose.
The biotech world would be developed by utilizingsecond generation biomass, the major lignocellulosic-agro-residues in terms of volumes generated such as rice straw, wheat stalk, sugarcane tops &switchgrass, bagasse so the war between Food Vs Fuel will be solving . Microalgae known as third generation feedstock, produce high biomass yields without requiring no additional lands, minimal water use, and mitigate atmospheric CO2  and hold the potential to be cultivated in a containment offshore . Microalgae can convert approximately 6 percent of the total incident radiation, into new biomass  By using a technique microalgal sugar are relieved and simply fermented to ethanol using fermentative microorganisms . In the recent past a lot of attention was given to production of bio-ethanol from microalgal feedstock can be taken out to produce fermentable sugars that was estimated approximately 5000–15,000 gal of ethanol/acre/year (46,760–140,290 L/ha). Productions of bio-ethanol is the aim of present nvestigation. Nakaseomycesdelphensis belong to the Saccharomyces higher level then it might be possible that bio-ethanol productivity much higher than others.Dunaliellatertiolecta microalgae use as a feedstock for bio-ethanol production with Nakaseomycesdelphensis. The screening of microalgae biomass is an eco-friendly and sustainable approach for quantitative and qualitative biofuel production.
Microalgae possesses many good properties to be considered as feedstock for ethanol output. N.delphensisyeast produced 0.31g/g ethanol by using D.tertiolectamicroalgal biomass. Simple acid pretreatment converted the biomass to the polysaccharide and then to monosaccharide sugars. In Acid hydrolysis, percentage of acid and time both are effected on to the reaction; prolonged hydrolysis time might cause monosaccharide‘s decomposition at high acid concentration. 0.5 M HCl and 45 minutes had shown the best result for acid hydrolysis. Extraction of carbohydrate or pretreatment of algae was carried out by acid treatment. After acid hydrolysis 30.0 mg/mL of reducing sugar was retrieved. The factorial design was used to find the factors that were significant, the optimum conditions obtained were: 5.2 pH, 2g sugar and 30◦C that was the best optimum conditions with the predicted response of 0.205 per hour specific growth rate of ethanol production. The outcome revealed that Bio-ethanol was produced by Nakaseomycesdelphensis, and the ethanol yield was 0.31 g ethanol/g residual biomass. The experiment design MINITAB suggests new possibilities and techniques to improve the production of bio-energy by microorganisms. But research and development of microalgae biofuel is still in its infancy. There are also too many technical problems. For example difficulty to find one kind of perfect microalgae with high carbohydrate content that is easy to harvest. There are few of commercial microalgae production companies. There for, Market acceptance is still unclear. Marine microalgae might be more suitable as a renewable energy source for Bio-ethanol production from carbohydrate. And also indicate that the residual biomass of microalgae after biodiesel production could be used for Bio-ethanol fermentation, which may enhance the environmental cultivation possibilities without any competition with food crops. This study can help the industrialists/scientific community to choose the best ethanol producing strain to produce environment friendly bio-ethanol.

I’ve been up pretty much all night watching Superhero animated series and films. I watched two Justice League Films, “The Throne of Atlantis,” and “The Flashpoint Paradox.” Next I watched the first Superman from the late 70’s.
As I was watching Superman, seeing Clark Kent play himself as such a fool in front of Lois, it was irritating the hell out of me. “I must have fainted,” he said at one point when HE CAUGHT A BULLET WITH HIS HANDS! HELLO! Dude, why are you acting like such a loser? You could keep your secret, without having to go overboard with the theatrics and awkwardness.
In any case, as I was watching this, I started wondering if I would abuse my powers if I had them. I’d never make myself into such a loser like Clark Kent does. I was wondering if I’d end up being a villain because of my desire to be acknowledge and respected. Then it hit me!
Tony Stark! I’m Ironman!
He’s not a villain, but he’s not a wimp either. He also wants the attention and recognition, he doesn’t hide his identity. Boom! I had to write this post before getting a couple of hours of sleep! It was important! Hahah. I think I’d be like Tony Stark in how I’d handle being a Superhero! I simply couldn’t play this Clark Kent pansy crap!
This was an epiphany, yo! I always questioned if I’d end up being a bad guy with Superpowers because of this desire to be acknowledged, but I figured it out! I’d be like Ironman!
So how would you handle Superpowers?
I’m a Bronx Raised Puerto Rican who dances in pink tights! Please do take note of the date on a post, over the years my views have evolved and they continue to do so. It’s all about growth and progress. Peace.

Accountability for Past Crimes
Côte d’Ivoire’s Special Investigative and Examination Cell continued its investigations into the human rights abuses of the 2010-11 post-election crisis, which left more than 3,000 dead and more than 150 women raped. The cell, established in 2011, has charged more than two dozen senior military officers and political leaders with crimes against humanity or war crimes.
However, the August amnesty announcement “for national reconciliation” for 800 people implicated in crimes related to the post-election crisis and subsequent political violence raised major doubts about whether those responsible for the crisis’ worst abuses would be tried in Ivorian courts.
A government-order implementing the amnesty stated that it would not apply to individuals who are “members of the military and armed groups.” But the list of people released or exonerated under the amnesty included individuals accused of serious human rights violations during the 2010-11 crisis, both from pro-Ouattara and pro-Gbagbo forces.
Those released due to the amnesty included former first lady Simone Gbgbo. Her acquittal in an Ivorian court for crimes against humanity during the post-election crisis was overturned by the Supreme Court on July 26, but the amnesty means that she will not now be retried. Simone Gbagbo is also wanted by the ICC on four counts of crimes against humanity, but the Ivorian government has refused to transfer her to The Hague.
The amnesty did at least result in the release of hundreds of pro-Gbagbo sympathizers who had languished for years in pretrial detention without trial, or who had been convicted of “threats against state security” in trials that often lacked basis due process.
The ICC continued the trial of Gbagbo and Blé Goudé for crimes against humanity committed during the 2010-11 crisis. The prosecution closed its case in early 2018, and the defense filed a no-case-to-answer submission in July, arguing that the changes against the two should be dismissed. At time of writing, a decision on the submission was pending.
The ICC continued its investigations into crimes committed by pro-Ouattara forces during the crisis, but has yet to issue arrest warrants. President Ouattara has said that no further individuals will be transferred to The Hague. Neither Côte d’Ivoire’s Special Cell nor the ICC are investigating crimes committed during election-related violence in 2000 or the 2002-2003 armed conflict.
Security Force Abuses and Security Sector Reform
Members of the security forces continued to engage in racketeering and extortion, particularly at checkpoints on secondary roads. A gendarme was killed by a mob on February 17 after shooting to death a taxi driver at a checkpoint in Bloléquin, western Côte d’Ivoire, allegedly for refusing to pay a bribe. Senior army commanders also continued to be implicated in the illicit exploitation of natural resources.
The lack of progress in accountability for past human rights violations means that commanders allegedly implicated in serious abuses remain in positions of authority within the armed forces.
There was no repeat of the large-scale army mutinies of 2017, although the mutinies’ underlying causes, particularly the lack of effective control over thousands of ex-rebels now serving in the army, remained largely unaddressed. In an effort to reduce the size of the security forces, more than 3,000 soldiers accepted payouts of 15 million CFA (US$26,000) to voluntarily leave the army.
Freedom of Assembly and Expression
The National Assembly in December 2017 adopted a new law on the press that, in principle, prohibits detaining or imprisoning journalists, although it leaves open the possibility that journalists might be detained or imprisoned under other laws. The new press law also includes several defamation-related offenses, punishable by fines, including the crime of “offending the President.”
An online news editor was fined 10 million CFA ($17,500) in January for “divulgation of fake news” in relation to a May 2016 interview with former-President Gbagbo’s son, Michel. The latter was sentenced to six months imprisonment for alleging in the interview that the government had unjustly detained, mistreated, and even disappeared pro-Gbagbo supporters, although the sentence against him had not been enforced at time of writing.
The government on several occasions prohibited opposition rallies and used tear gas and other non-lethal force to disperse largely peaceful demonstrators. Dozens of largely peaceful protesters were arrested during a March 22 opposition demonstration, 18 of which were on April 6 sentenced to 12 days’ imprisonment for disturbing public order.
Land Reform and Instability in the West
Recurring disputes over land ownership remain an important source of intercommunal tension, particularly in western Côte d’Ivoire, although 2018 witnessed fewer reported deaths in land-related conflicts than previous years. A rural land agency, created in 2016 but only operational in 2018, began to accelerate efforts to facilitate land registration and demarcate village boundaries. Overall, however, implementation of a 1998 land law, which could reduce conflicts by registering customary land ownership and issuing legal title, remains extremely slow, in large part due to the lengthy and expensive land registration process.
In Abidjan, local government officials in July forcibly evicted thousands of people from the Port Bouët neighborhood without adequate prior notice. Ivorian forestry officials also in some areas continued to forcibly evict farmers from protected forests and national parks. Past government-led forestry reclamation efforts, such as the 2016 eviction of farmers from Mont Péko national park, left thousands of evicted families without access to adequate food, water, or shelter.
Judiciary and Detention Conditions
As in 2017, the organization of cour d’assises sessions in Abidjan and regional courts went some way to addressing the backlog of serious criminal cases. The criminal justice system still faces longstanding and fundamental challenges, however, including a lack of judicial independence, excessive use of pretrial detention, and prison overcrowding.
As of July, some 16,000 people were detained within a prison system designed for less than 9,000. Some 5,800 detainees were in pretrial detention. Detainees lack adequate access to medical care and suffer extortion by prison guards and fellow inmates. Partly to help ease prison overcrowding, President Ouattara pardoned more than 4,000 prisoners accused of non-political crimes in January 2018, another 4,000 in September.
Sexual and gender-based violence remain frequent, with social stigma and widespread impunity preventing many victims from reporting abuses and obtaining medical care or counseling. Although female genital mutilation has been criminalized since 1998, it is still practiced widely, affecting more than a third of women aged between 15 and 49. Child marriage is also still common, with more than a quarter of women now aged 20 to 24 having been married by age 18.
Key International Actors
Côte d’Ivoire’s international partners, including China, the European Union, France, and the United States, failed to publicly comment on the August amnesty, consistent with their failure to meaningfully pressure the government to hold to account those implicated in past human rights violations.
France, the US, and the EU remained major donors in the justice and security sector. The lack of adequate progress made by Cote d’Ivoire in security sector reform was cited in an April leaked EU memorandum that underscored the precariousness of Côte d’Ivoire’s political stability.

Like its neighboring Northern Liberties, some might argue that Fishtown’s 15 minutes of fame is long gone. Not so. While new and old establishments like Johnny Brenda’s, Frankford Hall, and La Colombe have kept this neighborhood humming, there is a long list of projects planned for this hipster haven. There’s a new boutique hotel in the works next to Frankford Hall, as well as several rooms above the trendy Wm. Mulherin's Sons restaurant. Retail, residential, and restaurants are poised to transform Frankford Avenue under the El station, and a massive rock-climbing gym will be an anchor tenant in the Ed Corner building adaptive reuse project. No wonder folks are flocking to this hipster haven. Says one resident: “There’s a good mix of renters and homeowners, newbies and lifers. [...] I love being so close to so many small business, artists, musicians, and makers.”
Until recently, this picturesque neighborhood up Germantown Avenue in Northwest Philadelphia managed to steer clear of new development, all while maintaining a bustling retail corridor and old-world charm. But today, it’s home to its first mixed-use development in two decades, One West, and a brand new chain grocery store just below it. Despite its location right on Germantown Avenue, One West manages to fit in with the mom-and-pop shops and historic structures that surround it, some which date back to the late 1700s. It’s an architecturally significant neighborhood, too, home to works by the Venturi’s and Louis Kahn. And despite being outside of Center City, Chestnut Hill prides itself as being an extremely walkable place—and green. There’s a reason the historic district has earned the moniker Philadelphia’s Garden District.

The company also introduced the Huawei P9 Plus, featuring a 5.5-inch Press Touch display and a larger 3,400mAh battery. The Huawei P9 Plus also offers dual-IC Rapid Charge, giving users six hours of talk time after a 10-minute charge.
Leveraging Huawei's industry-leading capabilities in telecommunications, the two new Android-based smartphones offer unrivaled new features including a virtual-triple-antenna architecture, designed for users who need robust and seamless connectivity to cellular and Wi-Fi networks to fully harness the power of the mobile Internet no matter where they are in the world.

The 64GB version comes in a stunning and unique Haze Gold finish, setting new industry standards in industrial design, with the use of techniques including brushed hairlines and metal polishing at micron-level precision to create a translucent metal surface. Additionally, the Ceramic White version of the P9 is smoother than the painted bodywork of premium cars, reflecting and refracting light to present different shades of awe-inspiring colors as ambient conditions change.
