Lemon (10ml)
This tangy oil has a clearing effect which makes it particularly useful when recovering from general winter illness. It is very effective used in an oil burner or electric diffuser as it is antibacterial but also a good oil to refresh, uplift and clarify.
Absolute Aromas has consistent high quality in its range of citrus oils and Lemon is no exception. This is an excellent quality lemon selected from Sicily, generally regarded as the top source for many citrus oils.
Try adding 2 drops of Lemon, 2 drops of Lavender and 1 drop of Geranium to the water in an oil burner when feeling under the weather.
For a warming bath on a cold, winter night, use 2 drops of Lemon, 2 drops of Ylang Ylang and 1 drop of Sandalwood diluted in a teaspoon of Sweet Almond oil.
Contraindications: Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and sunbed rays for 12 hours after application (Phototoxic).

This procedure is available in both the Analyse-it Standard and the Analyse-it Method Evaluation edition
The one sample z-test is a test for a difference in mean between a sample and hypothesised mean, when the population standard deviation is known.
The requirements of the test are:
Data in existing Excel worksheets can be used and should be arranged in a List dataset layout. The dataset must contain a continuous scale variable.
When entering new data we recommend using New Dataset to create a new 1 variable dataset ready for data entry.
To start the test:
Excel 97, 2000, 2002 & 2003:
Select any cell in the range containing the dataset to analyse, then click Analyse on the Analyse-it toolbar, click Describe then click z-test.
The report shows the number of observations analysed, number of missing values excluded, summary statistics for the sample, and the hypothesised mean and population standard deviation.
The mean of the sample and confidence interval are shown.
The Z statistic and hypothesis test are shown. The p-value is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis, that the sample mean is the same as the hypothesised mean, when it is in fact true. A significant p-value implies that the sample mean is different from the hypothesised mean.

Where do I start as a new Property Investor?
How do I climb to the top?
As a new or 'would be' property investor what questions are you asking yourself right now?
- Where do I start?
- How do I start?
- What do I really NEED to know?
- How can I make contacts?
- Which property course should I take?
- When's the best time to buy property?
- How can I 'fund' a deal?
- Can I buy property with no money?
- Who's going to help me?
- Where do I find resources?
- How do I build a property portfolio?
- What strategy should I use?
- What sort of property should I buy?
- How much should I be paying for property?
- How do I learn the legal aspects?
- How do I find bargain property?
- Who will motivate me?
- How do I stay motivated?
- How do I deal with Estate Agents?
- How will I source property leads?
- Where can I network?
- Which seminars should I attend?
- Who can I trust?
These are some of the questions I wanted answers to when I started out a year ago. It can be very daunting when you start because there are thousands of similar questions to be asked and initially so much information to absorb. You just don't know where to begin, or how!
I know because I've been there and done all the agonising about where and how to start! The main thing though is to make a start.
As with any new 'project' getting started is the hardest bit. Once you learn the fundamental way in which something is built and how all the cogs are put into place it all starts to become a bit clearer and ultimately begins to 'work' for you.
It's like starting a new job – your first day is daunting, you don't know anyone, don't know where anything is kept, you're not sure how anything works or who to ask for help. But as time goes on you pick it up bit by bit and start to feel more confident as you get to know everyone and become familiar with your surroundings and what is expected of you.
Imagine you're on a bike climbing a big hill. At first you struggle as you work your way up the slope, taking in your surroundings bit by bit, getting stressed and out of breath, wondering if you're ever going to reach the summit. How long is it going to take? Will I ever get there? Should I carry on?
With each little bit of information you take in, things start to fall into place and if you're anything like me a 'light' suddenly pings on in your head and you say to yourself "ahhh, so that's how it works!" I don't pretend to be the 'sparkliest' tool in the box (is there such a word? Lol) but what I lack in cognitive skills I certainly make up for in tenacity and perseverence.
So you continue up the hill, building your knowledge, and soon the hill levels into a plateau. This is when you start to put all the information together, like building a jigsaw bit by bit and getting more confident as the different parts of the jigsaw slowly start to fall into place.
As the jigsaw nears completion the hill then starts to slope downwards, so the journey starts to get a bit easier and instead of struggling upwards you start to 'freewheel' confidently down the slope.
As your knowledge builds even more you start to pick up speed and before long no one can stop you. Then you're 'flying' down the hill shouting "Hey I can do it, woohoo!!!" The hard work and effort has paid off.
I'm not saying this is an easy ride, don't expect it to be a short journey, but the main thing is that you keep going and don't give up at the first hurdle. It's gonna be a bit 'bumpy' at times but you'll get through it if you just persevere and carry on AND BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.
What you get out of life all depends on what you're prepared to put into it, what are you going to 'give'? It's not all about what you can get. You'll find that the more you give then the more good things will come back to you tenfold- by the 'law of attraction' (I'll speak more about this another time)
If you expect it all to fall into place by just reading a book or going to one seminar then you're in for a shock and wasting your time. You get out of something as much as you're prepared to put into it and surely if something's worth doing it's worth doing well?
To become an expert at anything takes time, endurance, perseverance, commitment and above all the belief that you can do what you set out to do. If you don't believe in yourself then how can you expect anyone else to believe in you?
Questions: Don't be scared to ask them! If there's something you don't understand and need to know then ask the question. It doesn't matter if you think it's a dumb question! I've asked DOZENS of questions on the TMA forum, maybe some people thought they were daft, but I learnt so much from the answers I received. There are so many people on the forum who want to help you succeed, I can't tell you how helpful they've been.
I'm no expert, but I KNOW that if you want something badly enough and pursue it long enough then you will eventually get it. I want to help others to become successful Property Investors and by doing this I'm increasing my circle of contacts and friends which will ultimately help me to achieve financial freedom, not just for myself but for everyone else involved too.
Keep setting your goals weekly to keep you focused (more about the importance of goals in another post) and attend as many property meetings / seminars as you can because this will keep you motivated and moving forward.
In my next post I'll talk about how I made over £12,000 on an 'Assisted Sale' in 8 weeks using none of my own money (a strategy I learnt on the TMA Course) so please follow my progress!
My very best wishes,
Suzanne 🙂

A former employee with the city of Chicago has been sentenced for his role
in the city's scandal-ridden Hired Truck program.
On Wednesday, July 19, former water department employee
Frank Cannatello was sentenced to three months in federal prison for soliciting
bribes on behalf of a trucking company he owned in exchange for work with the
city, the Chicago Tribune reported.
According to the Tribune, those bribes amounted to
more than $180,000 in city work for his company. Cannatello's repayment,
however, will be much smaller – in addition to the jail time, he'll also be
paying a $5,000 fine.
To date, 45 individuals have been charged for their
involvement with Hired Truck, in which trucking companies gave bribes and political
contributions to city employees in exchange for lucrative contracts with the
city. Thirty-seven people have pleaded guilty or have been found guilty.
Twenty-six people – 22 of whom were city workers – have already been sentenced,
according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

Despite strategic blunders and product misfires, the largest network equipment firms--Cisco Systems, Nortel Networks, and Lucent Technologies--can always count on playing some type of role in network construction from the likes of Qwest Communications International, Level 3 Communications, or US West, to name a few.
Network contracts are viewed as the epitome of success in the market. The more contracts a company can grab, the stronger that company's strategy will appear to customers and to Wall Street. Yet it's not a situation where one winner will take all.
For example, Qwest signs a deal with Cisco for network gear. The next week Nortel signs a deal with the same firm. Confused? "They're probably all in different portions of the network," said Rolf De Vegt, principal analyst with industry consultants Renaissance Worldwide. "They can all be true."
As a result, networking firms find themselves in the midst of a high-pitched struggle for business in a world in which every network operator knows that every company has its own particular technological strengths.
"None of the major market players are winning everything," said Chris Nicoll, director of infrastructure analysis for market watcher Current Analysis.
In the United States alone, communications companies will spend $32.5 billion on equipment for their networks this year, Renaissance predicts, with the market expected to grow by 11 percent each year. These numbers don't even take into account the corporate networking market, according to the research firm.
X marks the spot
Case in point: Nortel this week unveiled its latest high-speed networking equipment gear. As part of the announcement, the company was quick to highlight both Cable & Wireless and IXC Communications as adopters of its new technology.
Curiously, IXC has already been certified as a "Cisco-powered network," a designation that means at least 80 percent of its network equipment comes from the data networking giant. So what gives?
It's a typical scenario. IXC uses Cisco equipment to power the Internet Protocol (IP)-based portion of its network for Net services. Separately, the firm uses networking gear from Newbridge Networks and Ciena for connections based on sophisticated frame relay and asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) technology. Finally, IXC taps Nortel's fiber-optic expertise for long-haul transport of voice and data traffic.
In doing so, IXC doesn't want to become too dependent on one provider. Picking and choosing networking firms allows companies to potentially use other companies as leverage during contract negotiations, according to analysts.
"These relationships--to work--are long-term relationships. They start with a product, but they have to do a lot more than that," said Mike Guess, vice president of engineering for IXC.
"I think service providers are hedging their bets," Current Analysis' Nicoll said. "I think they recognize each company's particular strengths. It gives the service provider a hammer to hold over its vendors."
Losses and gains
Earlier this month, Swedish communications carrier Telia was in the middle of a fight between Cisco and Nortel over conflicting reports concerning equipment the service provider was adopting in its network.
Telia, regarded as a cutting-edge communications company, signed a deal with Cisco in February to expand its network. Earlier this month, Nortel--which has a 10-year relationship with Telia--detailed a similar expansion agreement with the company, calling it a significant Internet win.
But Cisco remains the supplier for Telia's IP-based networking needs, according to the company. At issue is Cisco's attempt to extend use of its equipment to a portion of the network based on frame relay and ATM. "They were looking at one of our ATM products," said Larry Lang, vice president of service provider marketing at Cisco.
"One of the things that may lead to confusion is there's a lot of technology that goes into these networks," Lang said. "In the real world, these networks are complicated beasts."
But Nortel executives said the deal was a "displacement of another manufacturer's equipment," according to Paul Brandwood, a marketing director for Nortel's carrier data solutions group. "It's a significant win," he said.
Telia eventually clarified its position after different executives gave diverging accounts of the company's equipment plans. "We will continue to work with Cisco as network operations are more and more driven toward data," Jan Morten Ruud, head of datacom and Internet operations for Telia, recently told Bloomberg.
"The vendors want to position themselves as the leader in the market. In fact, they're all leaders," noted Current Analysis' Nicoll. "No one's going to dominate all the markets together."

why do singers wear earplugs on stage
By Lis Lewis If you saw the inauguration you watched as BeyoncГ pulled outВher earpiece while singing the Star Spangled Banner. That earpiece is called an in-ear monitor. It allows her to hear exactly what she wants. For example if you are a singer singing with a live band, there is a lot of noise onstage with you, especially from the drummer. It can be very hard to hear yourself which can make you sing louder and even shout. Your voice can get tired and you might feel like you re straining. If you use in-ears, you can have the sound engineer put only your voice and, let s say, the keyboard in your ears.
You won t hear the drummer at all! You can choose how much or little of each instrument you hear. There are some drawbacks to in-ear monitors though. A rehearsal in an empty room sounds entirely different than in a room full of bodies so you can t be sure how it s going to sound at the show. Also you don t get any ambient sound in your ears so there s no room noise. If you aren t used to the way that sounds, it can feel dead. I don t know exactly what happened in the case of BeyoncГ but I imagine it s hard to predict what you want to hear in your ears when you re singing outdoors in front of hundreds of thousands of people.
She probably had too much of the Marine Corps Band in her ears and took one earpiece out to try to hear her voice coming out of her mouth. Ready to take your singing to the next level? Take private voice lessons in Los Angeles or online with Lis Lewis!
I ll add more details. As the others have said they are in-ear monitors. On large concerts there is the sound board that is out in the crowd with an engineer that mixes all the singers and instruments together and sends it out of the speakers the audience hears.
Then there is a second sound board off to the side of the stage. Instead of one mix of all the instruments and singers, the board will create a separate mix for each performer. That mix will either be send to a speaker on the floor pointed at the performer or into the in-ear monitors you are asking about. Sometimes on smaller shows that function will also be provided by the sound engineer out front. I did that professionally for 5 years and I can tell you, that makes for a busy night especially if you have a large band, you are creating up to 20 different mixes all at the same time!

In a glacier carved lake in northern Montana, cold and exhilarating, I float on my back for as long as I can. With my ears under the surface of the chilled water my breath echos a rhythm. Above me the sky is clear blue, with a sporadic cotton ball cloud and a mountain in my periphery. Below me, if I were standing, I could look through the clear water to my feet. I give in to the feeling of weightlessness. I settle in to the soft and electric water.
I was happy to be in this place, happy to release tension and stress, happy to rest with nothing to do. Later, I thought about the nature of getting away from it all and wondered about the power that taking a break from normal routines and landscapes has to refresh us. So many of us dream of being "on a beach somewhere" and that "where" is often not "here."
Traveling is something that I truly adore. My favorite is exploring nature. Mountains, streams, different shapes and shades of green. It is stunning to walk through trees and think about ecosystems that are working their own cycles. I often look at a tree and think that my whole life has happened and that tree has been growing in that spot the entire time. Along with the magnificent and breathtaking, I also look forward to the mundane. I love to reap maps, look at unfamiliar streets and walk into unfamiliar grocery stores. It's about my body moving into new space. A journey into the unknown.
This got me thinking about something my teacher, Bill, often says which I will paraphrase here: You are always in new space. The Earth, a little rock hurling through the universe, is always encountering new space. The same four walls around you are just tricking you into thinking the space between them is the same. That which is fresh and amazing is always around you- and within you.
I feel that this is the yoga journey. We may keep a steady practice of the same asanas and pranayama, but we are always finding ourselves on new paths. The difference between this and traveling with our bodies is that inside of us there is no map. Well, some might say there is, and maybe there is, I've just lost mine. I see a dense thick of vegetation (confusion/clutter) that holds many paths, some well travelled and some overgrown. I look at the maps I have created in the past and they seem to be wrong. Each time I focus on my breath and practice I am mapping that vegetation, getting rid of some and cultivating some. If I'm away too long, I come back and everything has grown over. Each time I practice there is something interesting to explore. There is a thought or sensation that grabs my attention. Sometimes I know which path I'm heading for when I begin practice, sometimes I don't.
At first glance, traveling through my internal world didn't seem as appealing as witnessing the magnificent landscapes on this planet. Through the internal focus of yoga, I can witness that which is vast and stunning within me. That which is there all the time, regardless of where I am physically. Yoga teaches us that this is the thing that is vast and stunning within all of us. Practice lights up a torch inside of us so we can see what's inside differently. And while my internal experience doesn't look like the mountains or sky or ocean, it's got it's own way of soothing me. Even though I sometimes yearn to get away, my yoga practice reminds me that it's good to be home.

I did not find Mercy Among the Children to be an easy read. In fact I found it to be quite painful which does not diminish the fact that this is an excellent, engrossing book. In many ways the writing is masterful and the characters the author has created are vividly alive; so alive I would not have been surprised if at any time I had looked up from my reading and found one of them sitting across from me smoking a cigarette. It is a book about power and money and morality and unjustifiable feelings of entitlement muddled together with a great deal of anguish and cruelty of the sort that could only be invented by ones closest acquaintances.
The story is about Sydney Henderson who lives in rural New Brunswick in a place called the Miramachi. As a child he nearly kills one of his friends by pushing him off a church roof. Seeing his friend lying motionless on the ground he makes a bargain with god promising to be a pacifist for the rest if his life if only his friend would be spared. His friend stands up and walks away and Sydney begins a life that could be described as the re-enactment of the Book of Job.
Sydney is orphaned, fends for himself in an old tar paper shack. He falls into a life of alcohol abuse but discovers books and in doing so pulls himself up out of that dark hole aspiring to acquire a university education. He seeks the advice of a condescending professor who crushes his hopes and advises him to go back and work as a labourer. There should have been redemption when Sydney met Elly who becomes his wife but jalousie and lust encircles them with ill will and resentment coming from those who think the beautiful Elly is too good for him. There is also the cloying concern of those who think that Elly, though sweet-tempered, is at the same time rather simple in her approach to life in the sense of not being worldly-wise and thus requiring the guidance of interfering do-gooders. Sydney and Elly have three children, Lyle, Autumn and Percy. Lyle the oldest, is confused by his father's failure to defend himself for crimes he has not committed. The worst of these accusations is that he caused the death of a young man in the community while blowing up a bridge under construction allegedly motivated by having lost his job building that bridge. Lie is heaped upon lie, misery upon misery and never does Sydney speak up in his own defence. This passive behaviour angers and confuses Lyle who strives to be the opposite of his father by becoming a fighter and not just a fighter to defend himself but sometimes a fighter who picks a fight as a bully might; to show off the power of his own strength.
At about this point I had to take a break from Mercy Among the Children because there was just too much wretchedness for me to absorb. When I took it up again I broke a rule I have of not peeking ahead to get some clue as to how things will turn out. Then I finished the last hundred and fifty pages in one sitting not being able to stop turning the pages for even the length of time it would have taken to make a cup of tea.
This book is built around its fascinating cast of characters. These are middle class people who want to believe that Sydney Henderson is guilty of all that he has been accused because they equate his poverty with ignorance and lack of principles. Among this group there are those who actually committed the crimes that Sydney is accused of having carried out. It is amazing how the author has these people talk themselves into believing that it is for the greater good of everyone to have Sydney be accused of being a thief and a murderer and a saboteur rather than taking responsibility for their own misdeeds. How this is done is a feat of literary wizardry you will have to read for yourself, as it is so very admirable as well as very disturbing. It is disturbing because it is possible to see examples of similar behaviour in own daily lives when in some small way we judge someone because of the way they are forced to live due of circumstances beyond their control or maybe just plain bad luck.
I would not choose this book to take to the beach but I highly recommend it and apparently so do many others, as it is a multi award-winning piece of literary art.

The docs offer advice: Combat obesity starting in preschool
Norman "Chubby" Chaney seemed amusing in the "Our Gang" comedies of the 1930s and '40s as an overweight child (he was 3 feet, 11 inches tall and weighed 113 pounds). In part, it was because there just weren't many. Today nearly 18 percent of kids ages 6-11 are obese, as are 21 percent of those 12-19! Obesity is common and not funny, especially when it comes to children.
A lot of factors contribute to this epidemic (hormone disruptors in receipts and plastics, changes in your intestinal bacteria due to processed foods, the digital sit-and-stare-at-a-screen revolution, inner-city environments, high fructose corn syrup, sugary drinks). It can seem hard to keep your child from becoming overweight. But a recent study from Seattle Children's Hospital might indicate a good place to start: in your preschool.
Researchers found that U.S. preschoolers get only around 48 minutes of active play a day, when they should be getting two hours or more. And this contributes to everything from being overweight to learning and behavior problems. But when preschoolers play actively indoors (remember duck-duck-goose?) or run around outside for even an hour a day, behavior and learning improve, and so does naptime.
So if your child is in day care:
• Arrange for volunteers to come play active games with the kids.
• Set up excursions to local parks where kids can explore and play.
• Provide day care workers with activity-based CDs or videos that will get kids up and moving.
• And suggest using the Cleveland Clinic's Food Is Knowledge program for pre-K to first grade.

Have you ever wondered just what goes into your favorite treat?
While you may have traveled just one street over to your local convenience store to purchase your chocolate, your chocolate traveled thousands of miles from the tropics to get to you. Chocolate comes from cacao trees, and every year, pods from each tree are harvested. One tree produces only about 30 pods, and each pod contains roughly 40 cocoa beans.
After the beans are harvested, it takes 500 beans to make just one pound of chocolate. If you do the math that means each cacao tree produces only about two pounds of chocolate a year.
Back to that chocolate bar in your hand: if it's a Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bar, it weighs 1.5 ounces. That means that, for every cacao tree, only 20 chocolate bars can be made.

Obama Agrees with Bush, Opens Hunting Season on the Gray Wolf

Obama Agrees with Bush, Opens Hunting Season on the Gray Wolf
Johanna Neuman / Los Angeles Times / May 1, 2009
Next Monday, hunters in Montana and Idaho and elsewhere in the Rockies will be free to shoot at the gray wolf.
As our friends at The Swamp have reported, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced earlier this month that the Obama administration decided to remove the animal from the endangered species list because its population had replenished. Salazar said that finding by the Fish and Wildlife Service under George W. Bush was "a supportable one. ... Scientists have concluded that recovery has occurred."
Environmentalists are not pleased and are planning to go back into court.
"Wolves will once again be in the cross hairs to be needlessly killed starting May 4," said Rodger Schlickeisen, president of Defenders of Wildlife. "Under the inadequate federal de-listing rule, as much as two-thirds of the current Northern Rockies wolf population can be killed."
But Salazar, a former senator who grew up on a ranch in rural Colorado, praised efforts by Idaho and Montana to restore and manage wolf populations, though he kept the wolf on the endangered species in Wyoming, where he said the recovery plan is insufficient.
The battle over the wolves is the latest chapter in the war over wildlife between the federal government and environmental groups. With wolves nearing extinction, the Clinton administration reintroduced them in Yellowstone National Park in the 1990s. A decade later, with populations growing, the Bush administration tried to remove the wolf from the endangered list, prompting court fights that have blocked hunting of the animals until now.

A wanderer's blog..."A man can be himself only so long as he is alone; if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom; for it is only when he is alone that he is really free. " - Arthur Schopenhauer
Friday, November 6, 2009
In memory of Michael Jackson's spirit, love and music: This is it
I'm a person that will pay tickets to cinema for movies that i think well-worth. That usually occurs with big production or cool stunts such as, Matrix, the LOTR, transformers, …etc. Otherwise i rather download or wait for someone to have them and grab from them.
Somehow i know the movie: This is it, is not something i mentioned above, but as i'm curious of what Michael is like at backstage and of course i'm a big fan of his songs and dance and still will be, i just went to watch last night.
Surprisingly, there were quite some people in the same theater room. Normally, not many people would go for a movie in Adelaide as the tickets are considerably expensive if without any discount. This mean there are quite a lot of MJ fans who are same as me, willing to pay a ticket just to watch MJ.
It turned out that i like the movie quite a lot. Shed some tears twice, haha. Although it looks a bit like documentary style or the making of a movie, but it is through this movie, that i've seen MJ more closely, his character, his attitude, the person behind screen. In this movie, i really found out that MJ is such a music talented person, he knows all his songs so well, the keys, he arrange the songs the way he wish audience would like to hear, change the song plays, he direct the stage and the dance. Also, you'll found that MJ has a kind side in which he always thank people, bless people, appreciate what people have done. One can see that he really worked hard for the concert, train and train, try n try again. He has hopes for the world, for planet earth, telling of the dangers of Global Warming and the lack of reversible time left.
MJ's concepts are often jaw-droppingly impressive. Even by just watching the snippets of the concert intended to be, i can imagine how grand and massive the concert will be. In the concert, Thriller was to involve a 3-D sequence, with all the different mummies which looks really awesome, effects footage for Smooth Criminal blends Jackson into film noir classics opposite Humphrey Bogart and Rita Hayworth showing MJ escaping again and his slow version of The Way You Make Me Feel looks like a super-sized tribute to Old Hollywood musicals. I REALLY LOVE this jazzy version of The way you make me feel. Unfortunately it was not in the accompanying album of this is it.
There's also a new video sequence for Earth song, featuring a small girl who wanders through an abundant forest, falls asleep, and wakes up to find the forest destroyed by man. The progressively lost of Amazon forest caused him to write this beautiful song.
Shed tears as i knew it was regrettable that i won't have any more chance in my life to see this person, king of pop live in concert anymore. haha.
The movie is not GREAT as in movies you would have seen for all the other action-thriller movies, but i think it's really well-worth and you get to listen to those all time favourite MJ songs and watch all the cool dance again!!!If you are a MJ fan, i'm sure this movie will entertain and amaze you!!!! He will always be the KING OF POP!!! no doubt!!!

In a new and exciting partnership with the Orpheus Project (formerly Opera-to-Go), JLO will be providing educational outreach support for the production of their commissioned opera, The Princess Sophia. The opera, written by Alaskan composer Emerson Eads and librettist Dave Hunsaker, recounts the deadliest maritime disaster in Southeast Alaska and the Pacific seaboard in North America. The premiere will take place in October of 2018 on the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the vessel. This March, Orpheus Project will be presenting a workshop of the finished opera with local artists alongside internationally acclaimed guest artists. In an effort to expand the awareness of this important part of Southeast history to Juneau's youth, JLO is excited to provide additional support needed to bring the work into the schools with artist classroom visits and performances, and appropriate study guide materials. However, we need your help to raise at least $5,000 to make this possible. Stay tuned for more information and please consider an additional tax-deductible gift to support this important project!

cat(a)- Also cath- and kata-.
Movement downwards; figuratively, wrong or inferior.
[Greek kata-, down.]
Many English words beginning in cata- entered the language from Greek with the prefix already attached: cataract (Greek kataraktēs, down-rushing); cataclysm (Greek kataklusmos, deluge—the word was originally applied to the Biblical flood); catarrh (Greek katarrhein, flow down); catapult (Greek katapeltēs, hurling down); and catastrophe (Greek katastrophē, a sudden overturning or down-turning).
Among modern formations are catabolism (Greek ballein, to throw), the process of breaking down food to release energy, and catalyst (Greek luein, loosen), a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without itself being consumed.
The variant form cath- is used before h, as in catheter (Greek hienai, to let go); cathode (Greek hodos, way), the electrode through which electrons enter a device.
Cata- is not an active word-forming element; recent examples tend to be spelt kata- and some technical terms in cata- have alternative forms in k. Examples include katabatic, a local wind flowing down a hillside at night, and kataplexy (also spelt cataplexy), a state imitating death adopted by some animals when alarmed.

Q&A: I want to join the "Prairie Dog Lovers" Yahoo "group" and it says MEMBERS ONLY. . . What's the deal?
Question by pfloydie: I want to join the "Prairie Dog Lovers" Yahoo "group" and it says MEMBERS ONLY. . . What's the deal?
I have 3 Prairie Dogs; one recently diagnosed with Odontoma. . . and I neeeeeeed some SUPPORT UP IN HERE!!!!!!
Can anyone shed any light on these massively exclusive "Groups???"
I guess it's "G Mail" for me from here on in . . .
Best answer:
Answer by Bored_Brunette_Gurl
It doesn't necessarily mean that the group is exclusive, but that you need to apply in order to join the group.
People do this so that random individuals surfing the Internet can't come and spam their group with worthless things like advertisements for unrelated topics – along with keeping their discussions on track by making sure that members actually have a reason to be a part of their group.
I bet if you go ahead and click on the "join" button, and then fill in the information that you put in this post as your "reason" that you want to join the group they will approve your membership in no time.

Trading volumes have spiked for credit default swaps that insure against default by developed nations such as the U.S., U.K., and Japan according to The Financial Times.
Meanwhile, the volume of trading for similar bets against emerging markets has been falling.
FT: In the past, the CDS market for developed countries was sluggish, because few investors saw the need to buy or sell protection against a risk of default that seemed exceedingly remote.
However, rising debt levels and growing political and economic uncertainty have created a more active market, with more investors now seeking insurance. Meanwhile, many banks are prepared to offer protection in exchange for a fee.
This fee has recently jumped, since the cost to insure the debt of developed countries has increased since the summer of last year, while the cost of insuring emerging market debt has fallen.
Gary Jenkins, head of fixed income research at Evolution, said: "The biggest single risk hanging over the bond markets is the rapid rise in public debt in the industrialised world.
"If we get to a point where the market thinks the levels of debt are unsustainable, then we will see an almighty sell-off in the government bond markets, with yields soaring. Governments need to take action to cut deficits and debt."

Spring hastens forth, and I'm viscerally, pathetically grateful for it. I'm late to formally welcoming the Vernal Equinox in this space, but it comes and nods and passes, all the same. My feet long for the touch of cool – not cold – earth, I want to caress young pea plants in the garden and crawl nearly every inch of my yard in search of dandelion plants. (We have an agreement, they and I.)
If I was going to chose any month of the year to just skip, sleep through, travel during its duration… February would be it. Deep winter months are gray here. So, so gray. This year, while watching the field torn to pieces, rebalancing myself to grow my writing and art practice, dealing with some personal troubles that have come up… depression turned its ugly head, grinned malevolently, and laid me raw. I usually manage some light level of grayness. I fight it by building a habit of noticing small, wondrous things and breathing and walking and creating and maintaining connections… but this last time…
I was challenged to grow in these last six weeks. Truthfully, I sought it out and then retreated, but a challenge you invite in doesn't give up peacefully. I'd realized I was reacting to outside stimuli instead of intentionally choosing what I wanted to do. It left me feeling at the mercy of the fickle winds instead of bravely charting my own course through art, writing, and entrepreneurship. It's hibernation, in a way, cuddled up tight in a secure little bud, not yet ready to break free and bloom. The process of imagining yourself into the person you want to be requires energy, and I was already so very, very tired.
Sleep helps me, paradoxically. Drawing inward. This time some friends reached in and pulled me out of the sludge by the nape of my neck, demanding that I walk with them, eat, drink lots of water. I talked. I reflected. And at last, I surfaced.
It's not usually that bad. Truly. Honestly. Normally things really suck for a day or two or rarely three once or maybe twice a year, depending on the season and what happens in my personal life. A weeks-long stint has never happened before and so now, with the sun breaking through (both literally and metaphorically) I reflect on where my self-care practices went awry.
I chose not to medicate. This isn't a judgement of anyone else's choice. It's just that when I have – in the past – I feel outside of life. That's not how I want to live. Depression didn't come calling until my twenties and I refuse – absolutely – to accept that this is a permanent piece of myself instead of an unwelcome caller. For me, personally, I believe it's symptomatic, not inherent.
I've wandered away from what I thought I was going to write about but perhaps that was needed. I'm gathering my threads in again, picking them up gently, adding them in – one by one – to the braid of everyday life. A beautifully multicolored plait to adorn my hours.
And so.
Some small(ish) website changes are going live soon. I'm getting set to release some new art prints upon the unsuspecting world (look out world!). And I'm excited to be celebrating National Poetry Month (April already!) with another of Jena Schwartz's lush and evocative classes – Dive Into Poetry.
Budding. Rebirth. New Growth. Spring Hastens. I'm ready.
(This post partially inspired by The Inky Path's Wednesday Prompt, "Budding Branches or Budding Out.")

Five months ago at Vicarage Road, Manuel Almunia was the hero and Anthony Knockaert the villain. This weekend the roles were reversed as Leicester thrashed Watford 3-0 thanks to a Knockaert goal and an Almunia error.

When I wrote about how they crash
into the small dark places that only birds
can fit through, layers of night sky, pipes
through drains, how I've seen them splayed
across gutters, piles of feathers stuck
together by dried blood, how once my car
ran over a sparrow, though I swerved,
the road was narrow, the bird not quick

to forget, bird disappearing part by part,
beak, slender feet, fretful, hot,
I did not mean to write about death,
but rather how when something dies
we remember who we love, and we
die a little too, we who are still breathing,
we who still have the energy to survive.

Seasonal fluctuation of the population of Bacillus spp. in the coastal soils of Digha, West Bengal, India, was determined and it has been found that, during summer, monsoon, and winter season, the Bacillus population density varied in the range of 0.01–0.236 × 106, 0.11–0.202 × 106, and 0.098–0.155 × 106, respectively. Two-way ANOVA, agglomerative hierarchial cluster (AHC) analysis, and principal component analysis (PCA) were performed to determine the diversity of Bacillus spp. in both spatial and temporal aspects. During summer season, the population of Bacillus spp. reached a comparatively higher density than monsoon or winter. Spatial variation was also exhibited among the Bacillus spp. in different coastal villages. A total of 25 strains of Bacillus spp. (DSB1–DSB25) were isolated from the coastal soils of different village areas of Digha, during the study period. The isolates were characterized morphologically, physiologically, and biochemically. Colony morphology of each of the isolates was thoroughly studied. Biochemical tests along with fermentation tests, NaCl, pH, and temperature tolerance tests were done. The antibiotic sensitivity of the isolated Bacillus spp. against different standard antibiotics was also assessed. The study revealed that the coastal soils of Digha area were rich in different strains of Bacillus spp. showing significant differences in the morphophysiological and biochemical properties.
1. Introduction
Diversity is composed of richness and evenness and it occurs in nature across all forms of life at global, regional, and local scale. Microorganisms represent the richest repertoire of molecular and chemical diversity in nature, as they comprise the most diverse form of life and also they are extraordinary reservoir of life in the biosphere that we have to explore and understand [1]. Among the extremophilic microorganisms, bacteria are the most dominant group involved in the biogeochemical cycling mainly mediated by their enzymatic reactions. Nowadays, for sustaining a relatively pollution-free environment, a significant proportion of the bacterial flora which is not harmful to human being is exploited worldwide as biocontrol agents against different hazardous pests and vectors that were previously controlled by chemical pesticides [2]. Among the bacterial groups, Bacillus spp. are commercially formulated for biological control of plant pathogens as well as of vectors of several pathogenic agents of deadly diseases [3].
The bacteria of the genus Bacillus are generally defined as Gram-positive, aerobic or facultative anaerobic, motile, endospore-forming rod shaped microorganisms [4]. They are found in diverse environments such as soil and clays, rocks, dust, aquatic environments, vegetation, food, and the gastrointestinal tracts of various insects and animals [5]. The genus Bacillus is phenotypically and genotypically heterogeneous with its members exhibiting an extremely wide range of nutritional requirements, growth conditions, metabolic diversity, and DNA base composition [6]. Diversity of different strains of Bacillus is also exhibited in biochemical properties such as the ability to degrade many different substrates including cellulose, starch, proteins, agar, hydrocarbons, and also biofuels that are derived from plant and animal sources [7]. Furthermore, some Bacillus species are heterotrophic nitrifiers, denitrifiers, nitrogen fixers, iron precipitators, selenium oxidizers, oxidizers and reducers of manganese, facultative chemolithotrophs, acidophiles, alkaliphiles, psychrophiles, thermophiles, and halophiles [6, 8]. This diversity in biophysiological characteristics thus allowed the Bacillus species to occupy and colonize a wide variety of ecological niches. This ability of wide ecological diversification of Bacillus strains is potentiated by the production of spores, which are characterized by their magnificent ability of resistance against environmental stresses and dormancy. Several studies have been done on the Bacillus diversity all over the world, but in this context the coastal soils of Digha area remained unexplored till date. The coastal areas of Digha having special environmental condition, such as high humidity, high salinity, and low nutrient availability in soil, may contain bioresource microbes with special adaptable characteristics that would help them to be sustained in adverse environmental condition for a long time. The present piece of work was aimed at studying the seasonal population diversity of Bacillus spp. along with their characterization on morphological, biochemical, and physiological aspects in the coastal areas of Digha, West Bengal, India.
2. Materials and Methods
2.1. Soil Collection
The soil samples were collected from nine village areas of Midnapore coastal belt, West Bengal, India (Padima (21°37′39′′N, 87°29′28′′E), Jatimati (21°37′40′′N, 87°29′46′′E), Chanpabani (21°37′39′′N, 87°30′22′′E), Palsandapur (21°37′30′′N, 87°30′04′′E), Bhagibaharampur (21°37′36′′N, 87°30′44′′E), Duttapur (21°36′57′′N, 87°29′29′′E), Gadadharpur (21°37′05′′N, 87°30′04′′E), Gobindabasan (21°37′36′′N, 87°31′18′′E), and Somaibasan (21°37′50′′N, 87°32′11′′E)) during the time period from March 2014 to February 2015 (Figure 1). The topmost soil (1 cm) was scrapped off and then about 100 g of soil from each area (9 samples/area) was collected in sterile polythene bags sealed with rubber bands and taken to the Parasitology and Microbiology Research Laboratory, The University of Burdwan.
2.2. Culture and Enumeration of the Bacillus Colonies from Soil
To study the seasonal diversity of Bacillus spp. in coastal areas of Digha, the soil suspensions were made (up to 10−5 dilution) and were pasteurized at 60°C for 30 minutes. A 100 μL portion of the pasteurized soil suspensions was mixed with 100 mL of Nutrient Agar (peptone 5 g/L, beef extract 3 g/L, NaCl 5 g/L, and agar 15 g/L, pH 7.4 ± 0.2), KG agar (peptic digest of animal tissue 1 g/L, yeast extract 0.5 g/L, phenol red 0.025 g/L, and agar 18 g/L, final pH 6.8 ± 0.2, after autoclaving, sterile egg yolk emulsion 100 mL/L and polymyxin B), and Hicrome Bacillus agar (peptic digest of animal tissue 10 g/L, meat extract 1 g/L, d-mannitol 10 g/L, sodium chloride 10 g/L, chromogenic mixture 3.2 g/L, phenol red 0.025 g/L, and agar 15 g/L, final pH 7.1 ± 0.2) media separately and plated on Petri dishes and then incubated in a Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) incubator at 30 ± 0.1°C for 48 hours. After incubation, the colonies grown in those media were observed thoroughly for screening of the Bacillus colonies and a portion of each colony was observed under microscope to observe the rod shaped vegetative cells. The Bacillus colonies were then enumerated and total colony forming unit (cfu)/g of dry soil was calculated [9, 10].
2.3. Isolation and Characterization of the Bacillus spp.
The isolated Bacillus colonies were streaked on Nutrient Agar slants and stored at 4°C for further characterization. Morphological characters of the colonies and physiological and biochemical characters of the bacterial isolates were studied following the standard microbiological methods [11–13]. To study the biochemical properties, catalase, citrate utilization, nitrate reduction, indole production, methyl-red, Voges-Proskauer, urease, oxidase, temperature tolerance, pH tolerance, NaCl tolerance, and carbohydrate metabolism (acid gas production) tests were done. Total carbohydrate, protein, and DNA content of the bacterial isolates were estimated to assess the cellular constituents of the isolates [14–16]. For qualitative characterization of enzymes produced, starch hydrolysis, lipase, protein hydrolysis, gelatin hydrolysis, and casein hydrolysis tests were done.
2.4. Antibiotic Sensitivity Test
Antibiotic sensitivity tests of the bacterial isolates against different standard antibiotic discs (Amoxicillin (10 μg), Chloramphenicol (30 μg), Ciprofloxacin (30 μg), Kanamycin (30 μg), Streptomycin (10 μg), Tetracycline (30 μg), Vancomycin (30 μg), polymyxin B (300 units), Bacitracin (10 units), Ampicillin (10 μg), Nystatin (100 U), Erythromycin (15 μg), Penicillin G (10 units), and Rifampicin (5 μg)) were performed following Brown [17].
2.5. Statistical Analysis
Two-way ANOVA, agglomerative hierarchial cluster analysis, principal component analysis, and other statistical analyses of the observed experimental data were performed using Microsoft Excel 2007 and SPSS statistical 17.0 software [18].
3. Result
In the coastal areas of Digha, during summer, monsoon, and winter season, the Bacillus population density varied in the ranges of 0.01–0.236 × 106, 0.11–0.202 × 106, and 0.098–0.155 × 106, respectively (Table 1). In soil samples of Padima, Jatimati, Palsandapur, Bhagibaharampur, Gadadharpur, Gobindabasan, and Somaibasan village areas, the Bacillus population showed higher density in summer season whereas, in Chanpabani and Duttapur area, the density of Bacillus in soil was highest during monsoon. The estimated marginal mean analysis showed that in summer the Bacillus population was comparatively higher than other seasons of the year. The winter showed relatively lower population density of Bacillus spp. in the villages of coastal areas of Digha, West Bengal, India (Table 1). The two-way ANOVA was carried out to determine the variation of Bacillus spp. according to different places and different seasons. It was found that the population of the Bacillus spp. significantly varied according to different habitat and as well as different seasons (). Agglomerative hierarchial cluster analysis showed that the density pattern of Bacillus spp. in summer and rainy season was significantly different from winter season (Figure 2(a)). In terms of density pattern in different places, Jatimati and Padima; Duttapur and Bhagibaharampur; Somaibasan, Gadadharpur, Palsandapur, and Gobindabasan; Chanpabani formed four different clusters (Figure 2(b)). Principal component analysis (PCA) exhibited two factors having the Eigenvalues of 1.727 and 0.970 that explained more than 89% (component 1, 57.56%, and component 2, 32.32%) of the variance on the microbial abundance in different seasons (Figure 3).
25 strains of Bacillus spp. (DSB1–DSB25) were isolated from the soil samples collected from the study area throughout the year. Colony characteristics of the isolated Bacillus spp. are shown in Table 2. The scanning electron micrographs of the isolates showed the morphology of the vegetative body, spores, and crystals (if present) (Figure 4). NaCl tolerance, pH tolerance, and temperature tolerance level of the isolates are shown in Figure 5.
Results obtained from the biochemical tests of these 25 isolates were shown in Table 3. All the isolates were positive for catalase test but negative for citrate, indole, chitinase, and lecithinase tests. Fermentation ability of the isolates to different carbohydrate sources was depicted in Table 4. All of the isolated Bacillus spp. could ferment glucose, sucrose, mannose, and arabinose, but none of them could ferment xylose and esculin present in the nutrient broth medium. Total carbohydrate, protein, and DNA content of the isolated Bacillus spp. were shown in Figure 6. Table 5 represents the antibiotic sensitivity of the isolated Bacillus spp. against different standard antibiotics. From the scanning electron images and biochemical characteristics, the isolates were identified as Bacillus spp. and among them, the crystal producing DSB1, DSB2, DSB4, DSB6, DSB7, DSB11, DSB12, DSB13, DSB15, DSB17, DSB18, DSB19, DSB20, DSB22, DSB23, and DSB24 was identified as Bacillus thuringiensis.
4. Discussion
Bacillus spp. almost inhabit all ecological niche. Numerous species of Bacillus inhabit coastal and marine environments [19–21]. The present investigation showed that the coastal soil of Digha comprised different Bacillus spp. which was found to be similar with the study of Chatterjee et al. [22] where they assessed the Bacillus population and characterized different isolates of Bacillus thuringiensis with respect to their morphological, biochemical, and crystal producing aspects. Das et al. [23] studied on different microbial population and assessed Bacillus thuringiensis diversity in coastal saline soils of Orissa. Their study revealed that the spore forming bacteria were ubiquitously distributed having diverse crystal morphotypes, salt tolerance, and nitrate reducing capability. Parvathi et al. [24] studied the Bacillus diversity and isolated several Bacillus spp. via biochemical and molecular characterization in the coastal environment of Cochin. Kumar et al. [25] characterized 12 efficient phosphate producing Bacillus strains on the basis of their morphological and biochemical characteristics. Several colonies of B. cereus/B. thuringiensis group were obtained from mangrove sediments and 1.7% of them were allocated to B. thuringiensis [26]. Apart from the coastal soils, Das and Dangar [27] have studied the bacterial diversity along with stress tolerant Bacillus thuringiensis in the Himalayan region. The present study characterized the Bacillus spp. on the basis of their biochemical and physiological properties taking account of the previous works of Park et al. [28], Joshi et al. [29], Al-Allaf [30], Azmi et al. [31], and Mondal et al. [32, 33], who also isolated and characterized different Bacillus spp. from different sources by biochemical and physiological analysis in different parts of the world. These Bacillus spp. isolated from different sources survive the harsh conditions by producing enzymes which are newly described, stable, and industrially important [34]. Gömöryová et al. [35] studied the distribution of functional groups of microbes via BIOLOG analysis and found organic carbon as an important functional group influencing microbial diversity in soil. Physicochemical properties of soils also influenced the soil microbial diversity pattern [9, 10]. The two-way ANOVA study revealed that in Digha coastal belt the Bacillus diversity varied significantly both in spatial and in temporal aspects which may be due to the variation in the microhabitat present in these areas in different seasons. The agglomerative hierarchial cluster (AHC) analysis established the correlation of the diversity of Bacillus spp. along with different places as well as different seasons in the study area. PCA analysis revealed that the Bacillus population showed variable density in different seasons which supported the observation from AHC analysis.
5. Conclusion
In the present study it was found that the coastal soils of Digha harboured different isolates of Bacillus spp., mainly Bacillus thuringiensis providing them an appropriate milieu for their living and propagation. The population density of Bacillus spp. in the coastal soils of Digha also greatly varied spatiotemporally. Bacillus spp. constituted one of the major components of coastal bacterial communities owing to their diverse and flexible physiological and biochemical attributes. Isolation and characterization of Bacillus spp. from these soils may help in identifying previously unknown mechanisms such as diverse metabolic activities and production of different enzymes and antimicrobial substances which would be biotechnologically valuable.
