Oxygenic photosynthesis can be measured easily using O2 or CO2 gas exchange, oxygen electrodes, Winkler titration, 14CO2-fixation and by PAM (pulse amplitude modulation) fluorometry. PAM estimates the photosynthetic electron transport rate (ETR) by measuring the variable fluorescence of chlorophyll (Chl) a (> 695 nm) induced by absorption of blue or red light. Anoxygenic photosynthetic bacteria (APB) do not use water as an electron source and are typically photoheterotrophic rather than photoautotrophic and so 14CO2 fixation is a misleading estimate of photosynthetic electron transport in APB photosynthesis. In vivo bacteriochlorophyll a (BChl a) absorbs blue light similar to Chl a but its characteristic longer-wavelength absorption is in the infrared and fluorescence is at > 800 nm. Blue light-induced PAM fluorescence can be used to measure the ETR in purple non-sulphur anoxygenic photobacteria and purple sulphur photobacteria because their RC-2 type BChl a complexes fluoresce similarly to PSII but at longer wavelengths than Chl a. Conventional PAM fluorometers using blue light cannot readily distinguish between oxygenic and RC-2 type anoxygenic photosynthesis because they use a simple > 700 nm highpass filter in front of the detector diode. We modified one fluorometer to use a 695–750-nm bandpass filter to measure Chl a fluorescence from PS-II, representing oxygenic photosynthesis. Similarly, we modified another fluorometer to use a highpass filter (> 830 nm) to measure BChl a fluorescence, representing anoxygenic photosynthesis. However, the fluorescence bands of Chl a and BChl a were found to be too wide to unambiguously distinguish between oxygenic and anoxygenic photosynthesis purely by fluorometry. Treatment with the specific PS-II inhibitor DCMU (Diuron) did enable discrimination of the two types of photosynthesis in a mixture of oxygenic and anoxygenic organisms. Ecological niches made up of both oxygenic and anoxygenic organisms such as microbial mats and hypereutrophic environments such as sewage ponds, wastewater ponds and prawn farm ponds are much more common than often realized. Anoxygenic photosynthesis in such systems is significant yet largely unquantified.

BIG TEN WILL REMEMBER THE ALAMO FOR AT LEAST FOUR MORE YEARS
Published June 12, 1998
The Big Ten Conference and the Builders Square Alamo Bowl have approved a contract extension for at least four more years, according to Tim Griffin of the SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS-NEWS. Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany said a finalized contract is 99% "complete." Sources indicated that the bowl's per-team payout will be "at least" $1.1M, or higher if 75% of gross ticket revenues for the game, played at the Alamodome, exceed that total. Griffin writes the Big Ten has the "greatest concentration" of major media markets, with all 11 members in a top-30 market, and those demos "should help as the bowl continues its search for a title sponsor." The deal with Builders Square expires after this season, and the company has been sold by Kmart to Leonard Green & Partners. Delany "doesn't expect the Alamo Bowl to have any problem finding a sponsor" (EXPRESS-NEWS, 6/11).

In few of my early visits to a NGO working for disabled, I went wearing a cloak shedding sympathies all over but always returned with a charged up soul craving for more challenges in life. The people I met @ NGO…their indomitable spirits and zeal to deal with challenges made me feel so small and made me remind of tears I built up over small things in life. Loving life and packing off worries is what I learnt at my brief stint with Cheshire Homes, Thane.
I chanced upon an idea to build up Ability Project and showcase illustrations concerning their lives and depict inspiring tales of India’s disabled through infographics and data visualization. It’s time we celebrate the humanitarian spirit and nurture hopes with these people who have been fighting against the odds in hope to live just like any other aam aadmi. I have an unending to-do list and there’s so much to do. And this project is just one of task.
This project is a special on disability and spurs us to look beyond our monotonous lives and leaves you on a journey with lives that are endlessly fighting to earn a livelihood.

Notification issued for gram panchayat elections in Andhra Pradesh
The State Election Commission on Saturday issued the notification for conduct of elections to gram panchayats in Andhra Pradesh, the first phase of which will be held here in February 5.
In the first phase, gram panchayats under 146 revenue mandals in 11 districts will go to polls, according to the notification issued by State Election Commissioner Nimmagadda Ramesh Kumar.
The SEC called the gram panchayat elections 'historic', given the circumstances under which they were being held. "People are very enthusiastic to take part in the election process. It is of course, a major challenge for the commission to conduct the polls against the odds," Ramesh Kumar remarked. Panchayat elections are not being held in the first phase in Vizianagaram and Prakasam districts.
The elections will be held on apolitical basis. Addressing a press conference, the SEC said it was the responsibility of the state government to ensure that the elections were conducted in a smooth manner.
"Ultimately the government will have to face the consequences if anything doesn't go well," he observed. Kumar said he had apprised the Governor of the prevailing situation.
"I will continue to keep reporting to the Governor on the poll process. If required, I will submit a report to the Supreme Court as well," he said, referring to defiant stance being adopted by the Jagan Mohan Reddy government over the elections under Kumar's helm.

UPS Cutting Back Sponsorship Of RFR’s No. 6
Posted By Michael J Smith On September 2, 2011 @ 8:16 pm In Cup | 1 Comment
According to Sports Business Daily , UPS is planning to cut back on its sponsorship of Roush Fenway Racing’s No. 6 Ford driven by David Ragan in the Sprint Cup Series.
The shipping company plans to drop its full-season primary sponsorship and sponsor four to eight races with RFR next season.
The company is currently in talks with RFR to move their sponsorship from Ragan to the team’s No. 99 Ford and driver Carl Edwards. It was recently announced that Fastenal would sponsor Edwards  and the No. 99 in 17 Cup races next season.
This leaves Ragan without a sponsor for next season, amid one of his best seasons in Sprint Cup to date, having earned his first career Cup victory  at Daytona International Speedway in July.

If you are stressed out, you are not alone. There are a lot of things that cause stress in our modern everyday lives. "A growing body of research suggests that minor, everyday stress — caused by flight delays, traffic jams, cellphones that run out of battery during an important call, etc. — can harm health, too, and even shorten life spans."
"Chronic daily hassles can lead to increased blood pressure, which puts you at risk for heart disease, said Carolyn Aldwin, director of the Center for Healthy Aging Research at Oregon State University. She said it can also raise the levels of our stress hormones, a process that affects our immune system, and can lead to chronic inflammation, a condition associated with a host of serious illnesses, including cancer."
So what are we to do? Each day is inevitably filled with dozens of small irritants that can set off our stress hormones. How are we to navigate through our modern world while staying healthy and happy?
Researcher Vanessa Patrick said, “Being mindful of small, everyday pleasures … can help dampen the impact of every day annoyances and contribute greatly to our happiness and well-being.”
In The Light Way coaching program you create a personalized strategy for managing every day stress. Through creating a supportive relaxing environment, eliminating toxins and simplifying life, you are better equipped to stay healthy and happy.

Harajuku Gyoza is a happy place. When you step in, you are greeted by chirpy Japanese waitresses and music similar to those you hear on a Nintendo game set. The restaurant’s mascot, a smiling gyoza emphasizes the point. I came here on a Sunday afternoon and was pleased to be seated immediately. No queue! Usually, the place is packed with people at night.
I order some green tea, 2 types of gyozas, eggplant tempura and cucumber miso salad. While waiting, I concocted my dipping sauce from the bottles of soy, vinegar and chili oil available. I think Harajuku’s recommendation is 2 parts soy, 1 part vinegar and 1 part chili oil. I prefer 2 parts vinegar with 1 part soy instead, and a generous amount of chili oil to add some kick. The salad is quite meh, the miso sauce was more like a sweet soy sauce. I won’t order it again. The eggplant tempura was surprisingly good, and such a huge portion! Then came the gyozas, of which I ordered pork and crayfish fillings. The pork gyoza was spot on, with juicy pork fillings in thin dumpling skin and pan fried till perfection. However, the crayfish gyoza was slightly mushy. Argh. The dessert gyozas looked pretty interesting but I was stuffed to the brim. Will come back the next time to try those.

Named the Fujian, the vessel has been entirely designed and built domestically and is China’s first carrier to be fitted with a rare electromagnetic catapult system that can launch a wider range of aircraft on deck.
The highly sophisticated electro-magnetic aircraft launch system (EMALS) to date only features on the Fujian and Ford-Class aircraft carriers, a new class of carriers being developed for the United States navy.
The huge carrier was nearly complete and could make its maiden voyage soon, reported Chinese state media.
Notably, the Fujian has been designed and built entirely domestically
As the third aircraft carrier in the Chinese navy, it is technologically more advanced than the Shandong, commissioned in 2019, and the Liaoning, which China bought second-hand from Ukraine in 1998 and refitted domestically.
It was first shown to the public in June 2022, and has been explicitly linked in state media broadcasts as the military response to president Xi Jinping’s “national rejuvenation” goals, which includes unifying China and Taiwan.
President Xi Jinping has repeatedly called for increased combat-readiness ahead of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) in 2027.

Well post 3 Forts, everything looked good and it was the following week that I had my foot op.
I was sold on all things trail and ultra by now and spent my recovery time reading Born to run and every running magazine in the newsagents. My recovery plan had me waiting at least 6 weeks before any type of running as this was how long the bone takes to heal, so I looked to get back into cycling again as this was lower impact and carried on reading.
They featured a 2mm thick rubber sole with little thread pattern and neoprene upper secure with a Velcro strap. For the next couple of weeks I regularly looked at them imagining what it would feel like becoming “one with nature”

Are Window Air Conditioners Better Than Portable Air Conditioners
It all comes down to what your needs are. Generally speaking, window air conditioners are more energy efficient than portable options and don’t take up any precious floor space. But if you’re unable to install a window unit, a portable air conditioner is a good alternative.
“Both can cool a room, but advantages to a portable AC unit is that it is relatively easy to install and can be moved room to room,” says McCoy. “It can also supplement larger systems and help cool apartments or rentals where you’re unable to install a permanent unit.”
Btu Air Conditioner Key Factors
1. Cooling Capacity vs Room Size
The size of the space or room youll be cooling is the first thing you need to consider when purchasing a 5000 BTU air conditioner. The largest space a 5000 BTU unit is designed to cool is generally 250 square feet.
If the space is larger than this, youll need a more powerful unit. Otherwise, youll risk shortening the life of the unit by overworking it, and itll take far longer to get the job done.
2. Where Youre Installing The Unit
You need to consider where youre going to be installing the unit and find a compatible model. While the small majority of 5000 BTU models are designed to be installed into windows, some are designed to be wall-mounted and require a hole to be cut into your wall to cycle air and refrigerant. If youre going to be making these wall changes in your home, consider investing in the best wall AC unit for a long-lasting unit that will make all that work worth it.
Some models can be installed either way. Make sure the model you choose is compatible with your intended install location.
3. Power Requirements
Window air conditioners generally use a lot more power than other home appliances, and this goes for 5000 BTU units as much as more powerful units. To avoid serious electrical issues, you need to make sure the outlet and breaker youll be using for your unit can handle its power requirements. If youre wondering to yourself how big of a generator you need to run a 5000 BTU air conditioner, we have a guide on that.

What Is The Home Depot
Before we get into the details of the returns policy that you can get in their stores, lets take a look at The Home Depot as a company, and find out what theyre all about.
The Home Depot is the largest home improvement retailer in the United States, operating over 2,300 stores across the US, Canada, and Mexico, and employing more than 490,000 people. The company was started in 1978 when the 5 founding members decided to open a large-scale network of home improvement superstores.
If youre thinking of starting a DIY project or purchasing something for your home, then The Home Depot is probably one of the first places that come to mind. They sell everything from furniture to bedding and from flooring to electrical wiring.
Home Depot reportedly saw revenue of over $150 billion in 2021. With money like that, youd think they would have a pretty generous return policy.

How Much Does It Cost To Run A Window Ac Unit
How much it costs to run a window air conditioner depends on a number of factors, including the unit’s cooling capacity, how often you run it, what setting you use, the weather conditions outside and whether your utility company follows a time-of-use plan.
With a time-of-use plan, electricity has different costs at different times of day and will cost more during peak hours and less during off-peak hours.

Why Should You Buy A 5000 Btu Air Conditioner
While its tempting to purchase a higher BTU window unit to cool rooms in your house more quickly like the best 10000 BTU air conditioner, if youre cooling rooms smaller than 250 square feet, something like an 8000 BTU unit is more powerful than you need to get the job done. Not all windows are the same size too, so if you have small windows in your home, you can check out the smallest window air conditioner to fit your windows.
While more powerful models may work a little faster and can sometimes cool rooms to lower temperatures, a 5000 BTU unit will be far more energy-efficient. This is especially true for older homes, as more powerful air conditioners can draw more power than the outlets can handle, which can cause brownouts or blown fuses.
Is a 5000 BTU Air Conditioner Worth Buying:
- Youre Cooling Small Rooms: A 5000 BTU unit is more than powerful enough to cool a room under 250 square feet fairly quickly.

- You Want to Be Eco-Friendly: A 5000 BTU models increased efficiency means they have a much smaller carbon footprint, even with regular use than more powerful units.

How Long Will A 5000 Btu Air Conditioner Last
The average window AC unit has a functional lifespan of around ten years before components fail or begin to wear out. Many manufacturers offer warranties of up to five years in case you run into issues like the AC is not blowing cold air suddenly, but beyond that, you should be aware of the factors that affect how long you can expect your unit to last.
For starters, a unit thats only used for a few weeks each year will have a longer life than one used for several months each year. A unit thats used continuously for many hours during a period of use will similarly have a short life span.
Keeping the Unit Clean
Keeping your AC unit clean and regularly maintaining it will also extend its life considerably. Filters clogged with dirt, grease, and dust wont allow air to flow through them properly, making all the components work more to cycle air and cool a room.
Furthermore, the air passes through dirt or pollutants and will carry them to the evaporator coil, making it harder for it to absorb heat. Cleaning your filters regularly or replacing them if theyre disposable will help to prevent malfunction and maintain optimal performance.
Keeping the Unit Out of Direct Sunlight
Its an overlooked factor a lot of the time, but continuous exposure to direct sunlight can increase wear on the units components. It will also make it have to work harder to cool a room, decreasing efficiency and increasing its carbon footprint.

Is The Home Depot Return Policy As Strict As It Seems
So, looking at the fine print, the Home Depot return policy does seem pretty strict. You get 90 days to bring your item back, but you are technically only covered for a refund or an exchange if it is new and unopened.
Is that really how it works, though?
Interestingly, the vast majority of actual customers report that you are highly likely to be allowed to make a return, even if your product is open or used. You may even be lucky enough to be able to make a return outside of the official returns window.
The wording on their official policy is designed to cover the company so that they are not liable for returns on damaged or used products, but that doesnt mean customer services wont help you in most reasonable circumstances.
Its certainly worth taking your item in and talking to somebody, even if you arent sure that you are technically eligible for a return.

Democracy took a few steps back in Hong Kong this week after Beijing’s preferred candidate, Carrie Lam, won the seat of chief executive of the semiautonomous region on Sunday. Just hours later, police arrested nine leaders and participants of the 2014 pro-democracy Umbrella Movement. Now, the city is facing what could be its biggest data breach ever after the electoral office revealed the theft of two laptops containing the private information of 3.7 million registered voters.
Despite polls leading up to the election that showed Lam, 59, lagging in popularity by as much as 20 percentage points, a preselected committee of 1,194 electors voted her into office on Sunday. The career civil servant defeated popular former financial secretary John Tsang and former judge Woo Kwok-hing.
The voter committee, which has been a part of Hong Kong’s electoral process since Britain returned the region to China in 1997, is made up of individuals hand-selected from the business and political establishment with heavy influence from Beijing. Critics, therefore, are calling it a “non-election” or a “selection, not an election,” as the 1,194 eligible voters are only 0.03 percent of the city’s 3.7 million registered voters.
“This result is a nightmare to Hong Kongers,” Nathan Law, a pro-democracy legislator, told the Guardian after the vote. “Lam’s victory despite her lack of representation and popular support reflects the Chinese Communist party’s complete control over Hong Kong’s electoral process and its serious intrusion of Hong Kong’s autonomy.”
Lam is considered as “equally hard-line” as the outgoing chief executive and unpopular Beijing-loyalist Leung Chun-ying, under whom Lam served as deputy. Dissatisfaction with Leung’s rule lead to the massive Occupy Central protests and youth-led Umbrella Movement. Although the immediate demands of the protests were not met – removing Leung from office and real universal suffrage – the pro-democracy movement has continued to gain momentum in recent months, especially in the local legislature.
In her acceptance speech on Sunday, Lam vowed to heal the political divide in the city, “tap the forces of our young people” and uphold Hong Kong’s “core values” of “inclusiveness, freedoms of the press and of speech, respect for human rights” and, of course, Beijing’s favorite – the rule of law.
“Hong Kong, our home, is suffering from quite a serious divisiveness and has accumulated a lot of frustrations,” she said, according to BBC. “My priority will be to heal the divide.”
But on Monday, the government announced it would press charges against nine people involved in the 2014 protests for creating a public nuisance – a charge that carries a maximum prison sentence of seven years. All nine surrendered to police, surrounded by activists.
Those arrested include politicians Tanya Chan and Shiu Ka-chun, former student protest leaders Eason Chung and Tommy Cheung, Occupy Central movement founders Benny Tai, Rev Chu Yiu-ming and Chan Kin-man, activist Raphael Wong and legislator Lee Wing-tat. If Chan or Shiu are jailed for more than one month, they risk losing their seats on the legislative council.
“This isn’t just my case being prosecuted, it’s prosecution against Hong Kong’s democracy,” Chan told the Guardian. “Lam said her first job would be to reunite Hong Kong people, and this will make that task much more difficult.”
Because Lam says she was unaware of the arrests before they happened, some speculate that Leung deliberately set her up. But Lam denied it, emphasizing again, the rule of law.
“Prosecution actions are undertaken independently by the Department of Justice, under the Basic Law. I made it very clear that I want to unite society and bridge the divide that has been causing us concern. But all these actions should not compromise the rule of law in Hong Kong,” she said in a press conference.
But even the rule of law is being tested in this election. Police received reports late Monday that two laptops containing the private information of 3.7 million registered voters were stolen out of a locked room at the “fallback venue” for the election.
Although the information – including identification numbers, addresses and mobile numbers – is encrypted and there is no indication anything has been leaked yet, some say this could be Hong Kong’s most significant data breach ever.
The public response has been harsh and snide, as registered voters question why their information was necessary if they can’t even vote.
Meanwhile, Beijing plans to strengthen its authority over Hong Kong through “legal means,” two mainland government advisers said yesterday. They said that China will not to interfere frequently with internal matters in accordance with the agreed-upon system of autonomy. However, they want to “ensure Beijing’s authority over ‘principle issues’ – such as sovereignty and national security – is protected,” according to the South China Morning Post.
Authority in the name of security, it seems, is the new world order.


Shaw Industries, Dalton based the worldâ€™s largest carpet manufacturer and leading global floor covering provider announced its plan to make investment of at least $45 million in its Lexington County, S.C., carpet fiber plant for additional capacity for both nylon and polyester production.
The plantâ€™s new polyester extrusion operations will include the use of recycled plastic beverage bottles â€” expanding Shawâ€™s use of the material. On average, Shaw recycles three billion plastic drink bottles annually at its Clear Path Recycling facility in Fayetteville, N.C., a joint-venture with DAK Americas. Fiber made from that recycled plastic is used in Shawâ€™s ClearTouch residential carpet products. This keeps a significant volume of waste out of the landfill and saves 1.9 trillion BTUs of energy each year â€” enough energy to power more than 51,000 U.S. homes a year (based on the average annual electricity consumption for a U.S. residential utility customer in 2013).
Production on the new equipment will begin at the Lexington County plant later this year. In the past two years, Shaw has committed more than $600 million in capital investments to enhance its operations, including $350 million in expansions that will add 1,000 new jobs in the U.S. to its hardwood, carpet tile and resilient manufacturing as well as other key growth areas as those facilities reach full capacity.
Shaw Chairman and CEO Vance Bell said that by continuing to invest in their people, processes and products, Shaw is able to provide a diverse product mix, innovative design and the greatest quality and service to their customers.
South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley said that the investment of $45 million by Shaw to create more than 50 new jobs. They look forward to watching Shaw continue to grow here in South Carolina and around the world for many years to come.

CAMERAS are being used to monitor the activity of pupils in toilet areas in schools, a new report has revealed.
Hastings Academy and William Parker Sports College train CCTV cameras on the wash basin areas in their toilet facilities.
The cameras were identified under a Big Brother Watch report called the Class of 1984.
The group issued a Freedom of Information request to around 4,000 schools across the country. They asked about the number of cameras they had in the school and where they were installed .
The Radclyffe School in Oldham, Lancashire has the highest number of cameras in bathrooms or changing facilities with 20 in total.
Hastings Academy has four cameras in total, two positioned in each of the boys and girls toilets.
They were installed in the 1990s to tackle issues of bullying and smoking in the toilets.
They also helped staff monitor areas of the toilets that were not easy to view by sight.
Vice-principal Philippa Gasson said: “Our cameras monitor the wash basin areas only.
“They do not directly monitor the toilet cubicle or changing room areas. They are coming to the end of their lifespan as we prepare to move to our new building.
“We introduced them to tackle a problem of bullying and smoking in the toilets in the 1990s.
“But that is much less of a problem now. The building was created in the 1950s with a lot of nooks and crannies where teachers could not see. The cameras help us to do this.”
William Parker Sports College, in Parkstone Road, has one camera located in one of its toilet rooms.
David Evans, assistant headteacher, said: “We have one camera looking at the basin in a boys washroom.
“It was installed during the refurbishment of 2003. Some pupils were abusing the new hand driers and splashing water and soap on each other.
“The cameras are trained on the basins not the individual toilets.
“Parents and governors are fully aware of it. Pupils know they are being watched because there are CCTV signs everywhere. We do not have the same problems and we have had no complaints from the student council.”
Big Brother Watch director Nick Pickles said: “The full extent of school surveillance is far higher than we had expected and will come as a shock for many parents.”

Daughter of Lori Loughlin and fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, Olivia Jade Giannulli, returned to her YouTube channel for the first time since her parents were arrested regarding the college admissions scandal over 9 months ago. The social media figure who has nearly 2 million subscribers, posted the 2-minute video called “hi again.” In it Olivia said she stayed away from social media during the heat of the investigation over legal concerns.
Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli are accused of paying $500,000 to have their two daughters labeled as recruits for the USC crew team, so they could gain admission to the school. Neither participated in the sport. Loughlin and her husband were charged in a federal court in Massachusetts with a conspiracy to commit fraud, bribery and money laundering.

How Veins Work
If you’re contemplating one of our vein procedures with one of our doctors, or just want to maximize your vein health, understanding how veins work and some common vein problems will be very helpful.
There are two main types of vessels through which blood flows. They are veins and arteries. Arteries carry blood away from the heart while veins carry blood back to the heart. Small, one-way valves inside the veins make it possible for veins to carry blood against gravity and back to the heart. In your legs, for example, blood is forced through the veins every time your calf muscles contract. When these muscles relax, the vein valves close. This prevents backflow and keeps the blood flowing towards the heart.
Vein problems are often caused by gravity. As venous blood is flowing against gravity, the blood pressure within veins is increased.This causes the walls of the veins to stretch over time. Eventually, the veins become so wide that the vein valves are unable to completely close. The resultant leaky vein valves can frequently cause varicose veins in the thighs, ankles and feet.
Problem veins have a huge hereditary component. Pregnancy is also another leading cause of spider and varicose veins. This is due to the massive spike in the hormone progesterone that occurs during pregnancy. Progesterone causes valves to dilate and veins to stretch to deliver extra blood flow to the baby. Another cause of vein valve damage is increased vein blood pressure. This can be caused by a clot is lodged inside of a vein.
In addition to genes and pregnancy, age, gravity and long periods of sitting or standing are the main factors behind spider and varicose veins. Therefore, it is important to not lead a sedentary lifestyle. Get regular exercise and avoid sitting or standing for long periods of time. Your veins – and the rest of your body – will reap the rewards of an active life.
Put Your Problem Veins in the Past

Additional parking area planned at Sunny View School
Published 6:26 pm Friday, December 4, 2009
Sunny View School expects to gain some much needed additional parking thanks to the Sunny View Fire Department.
The fire department has offered the school district 1.5 acres next to the school for $1 a year.
The offer saves the school district considerable money that would be needed to buy land. Instead, the district can use that money to create the additional parking area.
Polk County Schools Supt. Bill Miller says work is being done to survey the land, determine a design for the parking lot and establish an estimated cost.
Miller adds that Paul Ruff, who is a member of the Sunny View Fire Department and a grandparent of Sunny View School students, has agreed to provide the labor for the grading and graveling, leaving primarily just the cost of the gravel.
The cost for asphalt won’t be known until a lot design is complete.


In this study, bacteriological analyses of fish (finfish and shellfish) quality between the landing point at wholesale fish market and seafood retail stores in Dardanelles region of Turkey were compared in 2004. Fish samples (N = 200) from the seafood retail store were found to be significantly (p<0.05; t-test) more contaminated than those of the wholesale fish market. Microbiological analysis showed that the total bacteria counts ranged between 1.0 x 102 and 3.9 x 105 cfu g-1 in the wholesale fish market and between 1.2 x 102 and 5.8 x 107 cfu g-1 in the retail seafood stores. Coliform bacteria counts ranged between<101 and .4 x 104 cfu g-1 in the wholesale fish market and between <101 and 3.2 x 105 cfu g-1 in the retail seafood stores. Fecal streptococci varied between <101 and 4.9 x 103 cfu g-1 in the wholesale fish market and between<101 and 3.2 x 105 cfu g-1 in the retail seafood stores. These results showed that fish sold at local retail seafood stores wereeither not stored in hygienic conditions or fish were contaminated during the transportation from the wholesale fish market to retail seafood stores.

How to cite this article
Turkey has over 8000 km of shoreline at the Black Sea, Marmara Sea, Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. Dardanelles is one of the important fishing grounds in Turkey, since Dardanelles lies in a migratory route that connects Black Sea and the Mediterranean Sea and is a productive area for shellfish.
The total fish production of Turkey was 506,980 ton in 2003 (Anonymous, 2003). About 70% of the total fish production was consumed as fresh product domestically. In addition, a significant portion of the harvested fish and shellfish was exported to European countries (DIE., 2004).
Seafood is a rich source of protein, vitamins and minerals. In addition, their flesh pH is about neutral (pH ~7). These characteristics make the seafood a suitable living and proliferation place for bacteria. In unhygienic storage conditions, microorganisms spoil the fish flesh. This may harmful for human health by causing infection and intoxication (Liston, 1980; Lundborg, 1986; Goktan, 1990).
In fish products, it is possible to diminish unwanted microorganism activity by hygienic treatments and protection. Bacterial contamination, especially if fecal, is an indicator of pathogenic presence in the environment (Sinell, 1985). Fecal streptococci have greater resistance when compared with classical indicators of coliform bacteria. This has led to an increasing tendency to include fecal streptococci in microbiological criteria as an indicator of direct fecal contamination in plant sanitation, in waters and various food products, including seafood (El-Zanfaly and Shaban, 1991; Shapton and Shapton, 1991). In the present study, bacterial contaminations during the storage and distribution of seafood, caught and consumed in Dardenelles region from Turkey, were analyzed. The main purpose of this study was to compare the microbiological quality of seafood sold at the Wholesale Fish Market and at the Retail Seafood Store.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Fish were randomly collected from the wholesale fish market and from different retail seafood stores between July and August 2004 in Dardenelles, Turkey. All samples consisted of unprocessed and whole seafood. The samples include 30 mullet (Mugil cephalus), 30 whiting (Merlangius merlangus), 40 sardine (Sardina pilchardus), 40 horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus), 20 bogue (Boops boops) and 40 shrimp (Parapenaus longirostris).
In all the samples, total aerobic bacteria were counted. In addition, coliform group and fecal streptococci were determined. Each 10 g seafood flesh sample was homogenized in 90 mL of 0.1% peptone water (Merck) by Ultra Turrax for one minute under sterile conditions. These homogenates were diluted to 10-7 and cultivated by using drop and plac methods (Baumgart, 1993).
Total aerobic bacteria were incubated for three days at 30°C in Plate-Count-Agar (Merck) medium. Coliforms were incubated for one day at 30°C in Coli ID-Agar (bio Merieux) medium. Fecal streptococci were incubated at 37°C for three days in Kanamycin-Esculin-Azide-Agar (Merck) medium (Baumgart, 1993).
The colonies reproduced in plate have been evaluated by counting. The results were recorded as cfu g-1 (Baumgart, 1993) .
For each microorganism, the counts were compared between the samples from the wholesale fish market and the samples from the retail seafood stores. Data were log-transformed prior to statistical analyses. Students t-test were used for the statistical analyses and tests were considered significant at α = 0.05.
Total aerobic bacteria numbers ranged between 102 and 105 cfu g-1 in the wholesale fish market samples, whereas these rates ranged between 102 and 107 cfu g-1 in the retail seafood store samples. Moreover, the average of the bacteria number was 103 cfu g-1 for the fish wholesale fish market and was 105 cfu g-1 for the retail seafood stores. Total aerobic bacteria numbers between 104 and 105 cfu g-1 were encountered in 35% of the samples from the wholesale fish market and in 82% of the samples from the retail seafood stores (Table 1).
The counts of the coliform group bacteria in the samples were found between <101 and 104 cfu g-1 in the wholesale fish market and between <101 and 105 cfu g-1 in the retail seafood stores. Coliforms counts under 102 cfu g-1 were found in 90% of the wholesale fish market samples, while 82% of the retail seafood stores coliform counts were between 102-105 cfu g-1. Coliform bacteria counts above 102 cfu g-1 constituted 58% of the all samples combined (Table 2).
Fecal streptococci counts were found between <101 and 103 cfu g-1 in the fish wholesale fish markets and between <101 and 105 cfu g-1 in the retail seafood stores. About 95% of the samples in the wholesale fish market was determined between <101 and 102 cfu g-1 and 77% of the samples in the retail seafood stores were determined in the range of <101-102 cfu g-1. For both sale point samples combined, it was found that 41% of the samples were between 102 and 105 cfu g-1 (Table 3).
Statistical results showed that the log transformed total aerobic bacteria mean counts from the retail seafood store samples (1.4x105 cfu g-1) were significantly higher (p<0.05) than the log transformed total aerobic bacteria mean counts from the fish market samples (3.6x103 cfu g-1).
|Table 1:||Total aerobic bacteria counts and frequencies encountered in the wholesale fish market and retail seafood store samples|
|Table 2:||Coliform counts and frequencies encountered in the wholesale fish market and retail seafood store samples|
|Table 3:||Fecal streptococci counts and frequencies encountered in the wholesale fish market and retail seafood store samples|
Similarly, log transformed coliform mean counts from the retail seafood store samples (1.2x103 cfu g-1) were significantly higher (p<0.05) than the log transformed coliform mean counts from the fish market samples (2.5x101 cfu g-1). Also, log transformed fecal streptococci mean counts from the retail seafood store samples (7.2x101 cfu g-1) were significantly higher (p<0.05) than the log transformed fecal streptococci mean counts from the fish market samples (8.7x101 cfu g-1).
It was found that the seafood in the wholesale fish market and the retail seafood stores were different in terms of hygiene in Dardenelles region of Turkey. Although, seafood in the wholesale fish market had the amount of bacteria which was in the expected rates, the amount reached higher levels after they were transferred to and remained in the retail seafood stores.
The maximum microbiological limit for the total aerobic bacterial counts in fresh fish is recommended as 107 cfu g-1 (ICMSF, 1986). Wholesale fish market samples were below this limit, but 5% of the retail seafood store samples exceeded this maximum limit (Table 1). This study showed that fish from the wholesale fish market had good quality, because 100% of the samples had a value less than 105 cfu g-1.
The maximum limit value for coliform group bacteria in the fresh fish is recommended as 4x102 cfu g-1 by the International Commission on Microbiological Specifications for Foods (1986) and as 2.1x102 cfu g-1 in the TS (2000). In the samples from wholesale fish market, 25% of the coliform counts were above the acceptable limits. The proportion in the retail seafood stores that exceeded the limits of coliform counts were about 75%. The high rate found in the coliform group bacteria from both of the sale points showed that the fish analyzed were exposed to some kind of contamination either during storage or while transporting. Shewan (1971) noted that coliform counts of recently caught fish were relatively low, but increased considerably during handling. Limit values of indicator bacteria for fecal contamination varies among countries. However, according to Shewan (1970) fecal coliform, an indicator of fecal contamination, should be less than 101 cfu g-1. Fecal streptococci count was relatively high in most of the fish that were sampled from the whole sale market and from the retail stores. In terms of hygiene, fecal streptococci have more potential pathogen threat because they are more resistant (e.g., low temperature) than coliform bacteria (Mossel et al., 1978; Seidel, 1992).
As a result, present analyses indicated that a great proportion of the fish sold in the whole sale market and in the retail stores were not in the domestic and international hygienic quality standards limits. In order to avoid possible health problems due to fish consumption, hygienic conditions should be checked regularly at fish sale points and the sanitary conditions in the fishing vessels should be improved. In addition, all of the relevant personnel that handle and manipulate the seafood should be educated and trained for hygienic practices.

In theory, November shouldn’t really determine a team’s season and yet, you can’t help feeling the events of this month will have a major impact on how the campaign plays out for the Vancouver Canucks. There’s no denying the Canucks have performed better than predicted. Heading into Monday night’s action, while out of a playoff spot, they were tied in points with the two wild-card teams in the Western Conference.
Up in October, Down in November
However, the optimism of October has been replaced by a disappointing November up to this point. Suddenly, the media and fans are wondering if this month’s version of the Canucks is the one everyone was expecting. In October, the team compiled a 6-3-2 record, scoring 31 goals and allowing 27, for respective averages of 2.81 and 2.45 per contest. In November, they have a record of 2-4-0, scored 12 and conceded 19, for averages of 2.00 and 3.17.
More than pure statistics, the Canucks just don’t seem to be working as hard as they did last month. Is this a temporary blip, or a sign of things to come?
It doesn’t help that they are three games into a crucial stretch of 10 road contests in 12 games. With all the travelling they are doing, you have to wonder how much this has impacted their recent turn in fortune? As such, a disastrous month won’t explicitly end any playoff aspirations, but it will have a profound impact.
The Loss of Chris Tanev
It doesn’t help that Vancouver will probably have to navigate the rest of this month without Chris Tanev after he suffered a broken thumb in the 5-3 win over the Calgary Flames. Tanev is arguably the Canucks’ best blueliner. The 27-year-old’s absence was felt right away, against the Anaheim Ducks.
As noted by Daniel Wagner of the Vancouver Courier, the Canucks were consistently stifled in their zone, unable to break free. The team was destroyed on the penalty kill, allowing three goals on six Ducks power plays. Tanev is far and away the Canucks’ best penalty killer and he was missed, as they went on to lose 4-1.
In fairness, the penalty kill was considerably more effective on Saturday night against the San Jose Sharks. However, even though the Canucks killed all four power plays they faced, they still lost 5-0 albeit after allowing three goals in the final two minutes of the contest.
When considering how the month will play out, it’s worth looking at who the Canucks still have to face. Be warned though, it’s not pretty. Though it’s still early in the season, the Canucks will face the Los Angeles Kings, St. Louis Blues, Pittsburgh Penguins and New Jersey Devils in this upcoming stretch. In summary, of the nine games remaining in November, seven are against teams in the playoff place, including a trio of contests against the top three in the Western Conference.

A Silver Lining?
Before any Canucks fans decide to reach for whiskey, there may be some help on the way in Anders Nilsson. The goaltender took some time off for the birth of his child but is now ready to return to action. This will be a big boost. While Jacob Markstrom has had his moments this season, Nilsson has been superior in most areas, including the basics of producing a better save percentage and lower goals-against average.
Whether Nilsson can do enough to stem the tide and help get the team back to their October form remains to be seen. As we’ve noted previously, he doesn’t have a history of being a consistent and regular starter in the NHL.
Ultimately, it’s up to everyone on the team to rediscover the work ethic which was so evident last month. If they don’t, November will become a month which likely haunts them the rest of the way.
