To the editor:
Far be it from me to even think that a little feminism may be involved, but has anyone noticed that many TV ads make complete idiots of their male characters while their female counterparts demonstrate an incomparable genius for every situation?
Has anyone seen an ad that reverses that order? Is someone "back there" revealing that we are becoming a nation of great gender imbalance? Or, could it be that someone "back there" knows the biblical principle that we become what we behold?
If we went 180 degrees opposite from where we now are, where would we be? They said that they have Seneca guns in Pakistan.
If you went 90 degrees and 270 degrees from our latitude and longitude, where would we be? It could be caused by a refraction of sunlight or we are in a skip-zone. It is the result of two air masses coming together. Are the gun sounds coming up, going down or coming from left or right? Where do they start at and where do they usually end up?
I can't believe it is that time of year.
I haven't yet gotten that old Christmas cheer.
What with you back at home and me over here,
I love you and miss you my dear.
And even though I'm near the place of His birth,
I hear no "Merry Christmas"; see no Christmas mirth.
And Lord knows from here I see no Peace on Earth,
But we've put up a tree...looks like Charlie Brown's.
The Brunswick County Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Lodge No. 53 would like to thank everyone who donated to our annual FOP Cops and Kids program (formerly Shop with a Cop). Your generous donations will provide Christmas for children that reside in families with limited income. Our FOP Cops and Kids program will take place on Dec. 11 at a local Walmart store.
K.T. Belanovich, Secretary/Treasurer
Brunswick County FOP Lodge No. 53
Brunswick County Commissioner Charles Warren, we don't think you're being a friend of open government.
We've had a lot of questions in the last several months about the transparency involving operations of the Brunswick County Department of Social Services Board.
We've questioned decisions about closed sessions, and we've been apprehensive about how hush-hush the board has been on the investigation into former director Jamie Orrock.
Talk about a slap on the wrist (not to mention a colossal waste of taxpayer money).
Our dear former governor, known across the state as the "education governor," but known affectionately around these parts as "Sleasley," Mike Easley pleaded guilty to one felony count of certifying a false campaign report in state court last month.
One count, $1,000 fine, no jail time—that's apparently your punishment if you're a former governor.
On Thanksgiving eve, our phone rang. The caller ID was a strange name. "Wrong number," I thought. I answered it expecting an offer to make the rest of my life worry-free if only I would purchase XYZ product.
When I answered, a male voice asked if he was speaking to me by name. I responded he was. The caller asked a shocking question, "Have you lost something of great value?"
I am writing this letter regarding the relocation of the Shallotte Senior Citizens Center from its present location on Main Street in Shallotte to Mount Pisgah Baptist Church.
It is not that we are opposed to the move in whole; it is the fact the move will prohibit some activities that are conducted and embraced by the current clientele of the center.

Balanced Living
Finding work life balance in this hectic world is tough, and working from home can seem like the solution to the work life balance problems that plague so many of us. After all working from home does me more family time. But working from home is not easy and it brings its own work life balance problems. I will be updating this page with Tips and Tricks for the work at home mom.
Perhaps one of the toughest adjustments that new telecommuters must make is learning to deal with the different set of distractions that working from home brings. Sure, there were plenty of distractions back at the office (chatty co-workers, back-to-back meetings and that humming fluorescent light) , but we've learned to deal with them.
Completely agree. I think sometimes people think working at home is the easy choice. Not the case at all. It's tough!
It is easier if you are doing something you love!!!
I totally agree. I don't want to ignore my child (because then what is the point of being home with them?) but sometimes the work just has to get done!

text: Building human towers, or castells, is an old Catalan tradition dating back over two hundred years. The Tarragona Human Tower Competition is an annual sporting event carried out by the best teams in the country and it is held every two years in Tarragona, a city in Spain's Catalonia region about 50 miles southwest of Barcelona. Nearly 6000 audience gather at an old bull ring in Tarragona on the primary weekend of October in excess of the weekend intended for its annual cast ells opposition, where teams complete of up to hundreds of populace work together to build human tower. Each castell (a Catalan word for castle) is built by a team, called a colla, consisting of between 75 to 500 members of all ages, with no discrimination on the grounds of race, religion, sex or social status. They share the common goal of building human towers, democratic values, cooperation and team work, a constant desire to surpass themselves, and a will to maintain a lead over a select and competitive group of rival human tower associations.

YouTube Pre-Show United States Championship Match between Antonio Cesaro & The Miz. When the time comes, check out the live coverage of the 2013 Royal Rumble with results & review here.he 2013 Royal Rumble! This is my favorite pay-per-view that WWE puts on every year so I naturally end up getting really excited about it. With the addition of The Rock vs. CM Punk, this event just got even better.
I think there is still a possibility that CM Punk retains through some shady methods, but over likely, if somebody told me to put a bet down, I'd be going with the Rock. It is a safe bet thinking about how CM Punk has already surpassed a year long title reign and this might lead in to a rematch for John Cena to take the title back at WrestleMania. Do I necessarily hope that happens? Possibly, possibly not. Every year, I attempt to foretell the winner, the Iron Man, the with the most eliminations, the fasted eliminated, and EACH entrance. For right now, I'll tell you that my potential choices for the winner of this event are Ryback, John Cena, CM Punk Daniel Bryan, and the Miz. I can 100% (at least at the moment) see Randy Orton and Sheamus eliminating each other in some way to help build towards a match between those. heamus and Randy Orton being in the title match OR Dolph Ziggler winning it from Del Rio and dropping it at WrestleMania to somebody.
This much assures me that I will be disappointed no matter what, and I don't think this match will be impressive either.This has been a long time coming, and I don't think it was originally intended for the Royal Rumble as anything but a rematch. If I had to guess the finish result of the match, I would say Rhodes Students comes out with the title, seeing as how they have wrapped up everything with Dr. Shelby.that important of a match, as I doubt Miz is winning the title and this will be there to fill some time. Personally, I was time hoping they'd do either a qualifying match or even show people picking their numbers from the tumbler thing that they used to do. But hey, at least it is not a divas match.

Identity Theft? Gonzales Might Know Something About That
It was altogether fitting and proper that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales gave a news conference about "combating identity theft" yesterday. His identity as a respectable public servant has been stolen by Republican senators and late-night comics, and -- to the dismay of the former and the delight of the latter -- "Fredo" is fighting to rebuild his good name.
"Mr. Attorney General," began the inevitable first question yesterday, from CNN's Kevin Bohn. "We haven't heard from you since your testimony on Thursday."
"Wasn't that enough?" Gonzales interjected with a smile.
Uh, not quite, General.
True, President Bush announced yesterday that Gonzales's shaky congressional testimony last week about the U.S. attorneys scandal had only "increased my confidence" in him. But Bush has previously bestowed his "full confidence" on Bernard Kerik, Jerry Bremer, John Ashcroft and George Tenet -- none of whom is now on the job.
What Gonzales may not realize is that his boss's confidence, even if it keeps him in office, won't do much to restore his lost identity. That has been taken from him by the likes of Arlen Specter, top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, who said on "Fox News Sunday" that Gonzales's testimony was "very, very damaging to his own credibility." He blamed Gonzales for a "very substantial decrease in morale" at the Justice Department.
His good name has also been stolen by anonymous Republican officials and tacticians, such as the one who told CNN that watching his testimony was like watching the "clubbing of a baby seal." And it has been stolen by the "Gonzo-Meter" on Slate.com and by Jay Leno, who remarked that when Gonzales swore to tell the truth, "everybody had a good laugh and went back to business."
This new status for the nation's top law enforcement official means he can expect the kind of gang tackle he got yesterday at the identity theft convention at the Federal Trade Commission. Seven television cameras were on hand for the otherwise unremarkable event, as were correspondents from four networks and various newspapers and wire services.
"It's nice to see such a good turnout," a spokeswoman from the FTC announced. "I think this'll be a good event." Gonzales and FTC chief Deborah Platt Majoras emerged four minutes later, spoke for 10 minutes and took questions for eight.
Gonzales smiled broadly as he approached the lectern. So determined was his show of good cheer that he continued smiling even as he proclaimed that identity theft is "a serious problem."
Majoras gave her own lengthy statement, but the cameras continued to click at Gonzales, who blinked rapidly and swallowed frequently. With lenses pointed at him from all directions, he fixed his stare on a distant corner of the room.
Bohn asked about Specter's view that Gonzales's testimony was "very, very damaging."

Whether your home is newly built or several decades old, you can refinish your concrete basement floor with a fresh coat of paint. All you need to complete the job are a few basic tools and a little prep work. Be sure to allow enough time for the sealer and primer to dry before painting. If the weather is cold or humid, drying time may be increased. Spend a little extra time on preparation in order to achieve a long-lasting result.
Things You'll Need
- Scraper, optional
- Wire brush, optional
- Broom
- Vacuum
- Trisodium phosphate (TSP)
- Bucket
- Scrub brush
- Chisel, optional
- Concrete filler, if necessary
- Sealer
- Paintbrushes and rollers
- Primer
- Floor paint or masonry paint
- Floor texture, optional
- Topcoat sealer
Remove existing paint, if necessary. If your concrete basement has been painted, use a scraper and wire brush to remove any loose or chipped paint. Sweep and vacuum the basement floor to remove any paint chips and dust.
Wash the surface with trisodium phosphate and a scrub brush. Mix the TSP powder in a bucket with water. TSP is a heavy-duty cleanser that will remove grease and oil stains from concrete. Any oil or grease that isn't removed will seep through your paint job, so it's best to wash the entire floor surface. Allow the floor to dry.
Repair any cracks with concrete filler. If necessary, use a chisel to clean the edges of the crack and create a smooth finish. Vacuum dust and dirt out of the crack before filling to ensure a solid bond. Let the filler dry completely.
Apply sealer. Use a masonry or concrete sealer to prevent moisture seepage. Moisture from the concrete will seep up through the surface and cause the paint to flake and chip over time, so apply a good quality sealer. Allow it to dry.
Prime the concrete. Specialty masonry paint has a primer combined with the paint, but if your basement will get a lot of traffic it's a good idea to prime separately. Primer adds durability to your paint job and provides a good base for your final color. You can have your primer tinted for added depth of color.
Paint the basement floor once the primer is dry. You can add floor texture to your paint to give it a slight "grip" and help prevent falls. Two thin coats of paint will adhere better than one thick coat, so take the time to build thin layers of paint.
Add a topcoat sealer if desired. If you complete these steps properly, you shouldn't need a topcoat sealer. However, if your basement gets a lot of use, you may want to add a final coat of sealer once the paint has thoroughly dried.

Family Activities
The fire pit at the OK Corral is the place to be for "Kierland Kampfires" featuring Arizona S'mores. A seating area with tables and open space offers the opportunity for activities and events with the Westin Kierland Resort & Spa FUN team such as water balloon games, hula hoop contests, limbo, relay races and much more!
The Resort's OK Corral is named after the site of one of the most infamous events in Old West history. In 1881, in Tombstone, Arizona, lawman Wyatt Earp joined with his brothers Virgil and Morgan and friend Doc Holliday to face off against a loose-knit band of Cochise County cattle rustlers that included Ike and Billy Clanton and Tom and Frank McLaury. The 30-second shootout still leaves historians and Old West buffs debating the details of the notorious feud.
- Complimentary s'mores for each guest registered to a room that is paying Resort Service Charge
- There will be a $5 fee per person for unlimited s'mores (if not paying Resort Service Charge)
Every Friday & Saturday 6 p.m. – 8 p.m.
Guests of all ages will enjoy the 60-minute interactive Desert Connections program where they are introduced to the animal life of the desert. This Phoenix Zoo presentation includes discussions about camouflage, nocturnal vs. diurnal, habitats and food and water conservation.

Description: When we think of the key figures of early American history, we think of explorers, or pilgrims, or Native Americans--not cattle, or goats, or swine. But as Virginia DeJohn Anderson reveals in this brilliantly original account of colonists in New England and the Chesapeake region, livestock played a vitally important role in the settling of the New World. Livestock, Anderson writes, were a central factor in the cultural clash between colonists and Indians as well as a driving force in the expansion west. By bringing livestock across the Atlantic, colonists believed that they provided the means to realize America's potential. It was thought that if the Native Americans learned to keep livestock as well, they would be that much closer to assimilating the colonist's culture, especially their Christian faith. But colonists failed to anticipate the problems that would arise as Indians began encountering free-ranging livestock at almost every turn, often trespassing in their cornfields. Moreover, when growing populations and an expansive style of husbandry required far more space than they had expected, colonists could see no alternative but to appropriate Indian land. This created tensions that reached the boiling point with King Philip's War and Bacon's Rebellion. And it established a pattern that would repeat time and again over the next two centuries. A stunning account that presents our history in a truly new light, Creatures of Empire restores a vital element of our past, illuminating one of the great forces of colonization and the expansion westward.

Neutralisation of acid-mine drainage (AMD) using limestone is cost effective, and good results can be obtained. However, this process has its limitations; it cannot be used for highly acidic water which consists of Fe(III). When Fe(III) reacts with CaCO3, it results in armoring. Armoring slows the reaction, and additional alkalinity can no longer be generated. Limestone is easily accessible, so this problem can be easily dealt with. Experiments were carried out to evaluate the effect of PVC pipe length on ferric and ferrous ions. It was found that the shorter the pipe length the more these dissolved metals precipitate. The effect of the pipe length on the hydrogen ions was also studied, and it was found that these two have an inverse relationship. Experimental data were further compared with the model prediction data to see if they behave in a similar fashion. The model was able to predict the behaviour of 1.5m and 2 m pipes in ferric and ferrous ion precipitation.
Sorghum byproducts, namely bran, stalk, and panicle are examples of lignocellulosic biomass. These raw materials contain large amounts of polysaccharides, in particular hemicelluloses, celluloses, and lignins, which if efficiently extracted, can be utilised for the development of a range of added value products with potential applications in agriculture and food packaging sectors. The aim of this study was to characterise fractions extracted from sorghum bran and stalk with regards to their physicochemical properties that could determine their applicability as food-packaging materials. A sequential alkaline extraction was applied for the isolation of cellulosic, hemicellulosic and lignin fractions from sorghum stalk and bran. Lignin content, phenolic content and antioxidant capacity were also investigated in the case of the lignin fraction. Thermal analysis using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) revealed that the glass transition temperature (Tg) of cellulose fraction of the stalk was ~78.33 oC at amorphous state (~65%) and water content of ~5%. In terms of hemicellulose, the Tg value of stalk was slightly lower compared to bran at amorphous state (~54%) and had less water content (~2%). It is evident that hemicelluloses generally showed a lower thermal stability compared to cellulose, probably due to their lack of crystallinity. Additionally, bran had higher arabinose-to-xylose ratio (0.82) than the stalk, a fact that indicated its low crystallinity. Furthermore, lignin fraction had Tg value of ~93 oC at amorphous state (~11%). Stalk-derived lignin fraction contained more phenolic compounds (mainly consisting of p-coumaric and ferulic acid) and had higher lignin content and antioxidant capacity compared to bran-derived lignin fraction.
This study explored the effects of different organic solvents, temperature, and the amount of glycerol on the alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH)-catalysed stereoselective reduction of different ketones. These conversions were then analyzed by gas chromatography. It was found that when the amount of deep eutectic solvents (DES) increases, it can improve the stereoselectivity of the enzyme although reducing its ability to convert the substrate into the corresponding alcohol. Moreover, glycerol was found to have a strong stabilizing effect on the ADH from Ralstonia sp. (E. coli/ RasADH). In the case of organic solvents, it was observed that the best conversions into the alcohols were achieved with DMSO and hexane. It was also observed that temperature decreased the ability of the enzyme to convert the substrates into the products and also affected the selectivity. In addition to that, the recycling of DES up to three times gave good conversions and enantiomeric excess results and glycerol showed a positive effect in the stability of various ADHs. Using RasADH, a good conversion and enantiomeric excess into the S-alcohol were obtained. It was found that an enhancement of the temperature disabled the stabilizing effect of glycerol and decreased the stereoselectivity of the enzyme. However, for other ADHs a temperature increase had an opposite positive effect, especially with ADH-T from Thermoanaerobium sp. One of the objectives of this study was to see the effect of cofactors such as NAD(P) on the biocatlysis activities of ADHs.
Harmalol administration caused remarkable reduction in proliferation of HepG2 cells with GI50 of 14.2 mM, without showing much cytotoxicity in embryonic liver cell line, WRL-68. Data from circular dichroism and differential scanning calorimetric analysis of harmalol-CT DNA complex shows conformational changes with prominent CD perturbation and stabilization of CT DNA by 8 oC. Binding constant and stoichiometry was also calculated using the above biophysical techniques. Further, dose dependent apoptotic induction ability of harmalol was studied in HepG2 cells using different biochemical assays. Generation of ROS, DNA damage, changes in cellular external and ultramorphology, alteration of membrane, formation of comet tail, decreased mitochondrial membrane potential and a significant increase in Sub Go/G1 population made the cancer cell, HepG2, prone to apoptosis. Up regulation of p53 and caspase 3 further indicated the apoptotic role of harmalol.
Event-related potential (ERP) is one of the useful tools for investigating cognitive reactions. In this study, the potential of ERP components detected after auditory and visual stimuli was examined. Subjects were asked to respond upon stimuli that were of three categories; Target, Non-Target and Standard stimuli. The ERP after stimulus was measured. In the experiment of visual evoked potentials (VEPs), the subjects were asked to gaze at a center point on the monitor screen where the stimuli were provided by the reversal pattern of the checkerboard. In consequence of the VEP experiments, we observed consistent reactions. Each peak voltage could be measured when the ensemble average was applied. Visual stimuli had smaller amplitude and a longer latency compared to that of auditory stimuli. The amplitude was the highest with Target and the smallest with Standard in both stimuli.
Bendiocarb is a known toxic xenobiotic that presents acute and chronic risks for freshwater invertebrates and estuarine and marine biota; thus, the treatment of water contaminated with the insecticide is of concern. In this paper, a bacterial community with the capacity to grow in bendiocarb as its sole carbon and nitrogen source was isolated by enrichment techniques in batch culture, from samples of a composting plant located in the northeast of Mexico City. Eight cultivable bacteria were isolated from the microbial community, by PCR amplification of 16 rDNA; Pseudoxanthomonas spadix (NC_016147.2, 98%), Ochrobacterium anthropi (NC_009668.1, 97%), Staphylococcus capitis (NZ_CP007601.1, 99%), Bosea thiooxidans. (NZ_LMAR01000067.1, 99%), Pseudomonas denitrificans. (NC_020829.1, 99%), Agromyces sp. (NZ_LMKQ01000001.1, 98%), Bacillus thuringiensis. (NC_022873.1, 97%), Pseudomonas alkylphenolia (NZ_CP009048.1, 98%). NCBI accession numbers and percentage of similarity are indicated in parentheses. These bacteria were regarded as the isolated species for having the best similarity matches. The ability to degrade bendiocarb by the immobilized bacterial community in a packed bed biofilm reactor, using as support volcanic stone fragments (tezontle), was evaluated. The reactor system was operated in batch using mineral salts medium and 30 mg/L of bendiocarb as carbon and nitrogen source. With this system, an overall removal efficiency (ηbend) rounding 90%, was reached.
Dunaliella salina has great potential as a system for generating commercially valuable products, including beta-carotene, pharmaceuticals, and biofuels. Our goal is to improve this potential by enhancing growth rate and other properties of D. salina under optimal growth conditions. We used ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS) to generate random mutants in D. salina KU11, a strain classified in Thailand. In a preliminary experiment, we first treated D. salina cells with 0%, 0.8%, 1.0%, 1.2%, 1.44% and 1.66% EMS to generate a killing curve. After that, we randomly picked 30 candidates from approximately 300 isolated survivor colonies from the 1.44% EMS treatment (which permitted 30% survival) as an initial test of the mutant screen. Among the 30 survivor lines, we found that 2 strains (mutant #17 and #24) had significantly improved growth rates and cell number accumulation at stationary phase approximately up to 1.8 and 1.45 fold, respectively, 2 strains (mutant #6 and #23) had significantly decreased growth rates and cell number accumulation at stationary phase approximately down to 1.4 and 1.35 fold, respectively, while 26 of 30 lines had similar growth rates compared with the wild type control. We also analyzed cell size for each strain and found there was no significant difference comparing all mutants with the wild type. In addition, mutant #24 had shown an increase of biomass accumulation approximately 1.65 fold compared with the wild type strain on day 5 that was entering early stationary phase. From these preliminary results, it could be feasible to identify D. salina mutants with significant improved growth rate, cell accumulation and biomass production compared to the wild type for the further study; this makes it possible to improve this microorganism as a platform for biotechnology application.
As genetic diversity is most important for existing, breeding and production of any fish; this study was undertaken for investigating genetic diversity of freshwater mud eel, Monopterus cuchia at population level where three ecological populations such as flooded area of Sylhet (P1), open water of Moulvibazar (P2) and open water of Sunamganj (P3) districts of Bangladesh were considered. Four arbitrary RAPD primers (OPB-12, C0-4, B-03 and OPB-08) were screened and RAPD banding patterns were analyzed among the populations considering 15 individuals of each population. In total 174, 138 and 149 bands were detected in the populations of P1, P2 and P3 respectively; however, each primer revealed less number of bands in each population. 100% polymorphic loci were recorded in P2 and P3 whereas only one monomorphic locus was observed in P1, recorded 97.5% polymorphism. Different genetic parameters such as inter-individual pairwise similarity, genetic distance, Nei genetic similarity, linkage distances, cluster analysis and allelic information, etc. were considered for measuring genetic diversity. The average inter-individual pairwise similarity was recorded 2.98, 1.47 and 1.35 in P1, P2 and P3 respectively. Considering genetic distance analysis, the highest distance 1 was recorded in P2 and P3 and the lowest genetic distance 0.444 was found in P2. The average Nei genetic similarity was observed 0.19, 0.16 and 0.13 in P1, P2 and P3, respectively; however, the average linkage distance was recorded 24.92, 17.14 and 15.28 in P1, P3 and P2 respectively. Based on linkage distance, genetic clusters were generated in three populations where 6 clades and 7 clusters were found in P1, 3 clades and 5 clusters were observed in P2 and 4 clades and 7 clusters were detected in P3. In addition, allelic information was observed where the frequency of p and q alleles were observed 0.093 and 0.907 in P1, 0.076 and 0.924 in P2, 0.074 and 0.926 in P3 respectively. The average gene diversity was observed highest in P2 (0.132) followed by P3 (0.131) and P1 (0.121) respectively.
Essential oils of Heracleum persicum (Apiaceae) have been widely used from many years ago, but the difference of its properties among different populations have not been identified up to now. Hydrodistilation Clevenger type was used to obtaining the fruit essential oils of four populations of H. persicum from different localities in Iran, then they were characterized by GC-FID and GC-MS analyses. Some ecological factors were also measured. The oils of four populations were compared to determine the similarities and differences and the relationships between these factors and ecological factors. Based on the result, 18-32 different components were identified in four populations, while the percentage of the main components was higher in population with lower number of components. According to the statistical analyses of chemical components and ecological factors, it can be concluded that some ecological factors such as altitude, less humidity, high difference between day and night temperature and salty soil would lead to lower number of components in essential oil, whereas they consist the higher percentage.
The technology of mobile telephony has positively enhanced human life and reports on the bio safety of the radiation from their antennae have been contradictory, leading to serious litigations and violent protests by residents in several parts of the world. The crave for more information, as requested by WHO in order to resolve this issue, formed the basis for this study on the effect of the radiation from 900 MHz GSM antenna on the DNA of Hibiscus sabdariffa. Seeds of H. sabdariffa were raised in pots placed in three replicates at 100, 200, 300 and 400 metres from the GSM antennae in three selected test locations and a control where there was no GSM signal. Temperature (˚C) and the relative humidity (%) of study sites were measured for the period of study (24 weeks). Fresh young leaves were harvested from each plant at two, eight and twenty-four weeks after sowing and the DNA extracts were subjected to RAPD-PCR analyses. There were no significant differences between the weather conditions (temperature and relative humidity) in all the study locations. However, significant differences were observed in the intensities of radiations between the control (less than 0.02 V/m) and the test (0.40-1.01 V/m) locations. Data obtained showed that DNA of samples exposed to rays from GSM antenna had various levels of distortions, estimated at 91.67%. Distortions occurred in 58.33% of the samples between 2-8 weeks of exposure while 33.33% of the samples were distorted between 8-24 weeks exposure. Approximately 8.33% of the samples did not show distortions in DNA while 33.33% of the samples had their DNA damaged twice, both at 8 and at 24 weeks of exposure. The study showed that radiation from the 900 MHz GSM antenna is potent enough to cause distortions to DNA of H. sabdariffa even within 2-8 weeks of exposure. DNA damage was also independent of the distance from the antenna. These observations would qualify emissions from GSM mast as environmental hazard to the existence of plant biodiversities and all life forms in general. These results will trigger efforts to prevent further erosion of plant genetic resources which have been threatening food security and also the risks posed to living organisms, thereby making our environment very safe for our existence while we still continue to enjoy the benefits of the GSM technology.
Pseudomonas putida is a potential strain in biological treatment to remove mercury contained in the effluent of petrochemical industry due to its mercury reductase enzyme that able to reduce ionic mercury to elementary mercury. Freeze-dried P. putida allows easy, inexpensive shipping, handling and high stability of the product. This study was aimed to freeze dry P. putida cells with addition of lyoprotectant. Lyoprotectant was added into the cells suspension prior to freezing. Dried P. putida obtained was then mixed with synthetic mercury. Viability of recovery P. putida after freeze dry was significantly influenced by the type of lyoprotectant. Among the lyoprotectants, tween 80/ sucrose was found to be the best lyoprotectant. Sucrose able to recover more than 78% (6.2E+09 CFU/ml) of the original cells (7.90E+09CFU/ml) after freeze dry and able to retain 5.40E+05 viable cells after 4 weeks storage in 4oC without vacuum. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) pre-treated freeze dry cells and broth pre-treated freeze dry cells after freeze-dry recovered more than 64% (5.0 E+09CFU/ml) and >0.1% (5.60E+07CFU/ml). Freeze-dried P. putida cells in PEG and broth cannot survive after 4 weeks storage. Freeze dry also does not really change the pattern of growth P. putida but extension of lag time was found 1 hour after 3 weeks of storage. Additional time was required for freeze-dried P. putida cells to recover before introduce freeze-dried cells to more complicated condition such as mercury solution. The maximum mercury reduction of PEG pre-treated freeze-dried cells after freeze dry and after storage 3 weeks was 56.78% and 17.91%. The maximum of mercury reduction of tween 80/sucrose pre-treated freeze-dried cells after freeze dry and after storage 3 weeks were 26.35% and 25.03%. Freeze dried P. putida was found to have lower mercury reduction compare to the fresh P. putida that has been growth in agar. Result from this study may be beneficial and useful as initial reference before commercialize freeze-dried P. putida.
Anogeissus leiocarpus (Combretaceae) is well known for its medicinal uses in African traditional medicine, for treating many human diseases mainly skin diseases and infections. Mycetoma disease is a fungal and/ or bacterial skininfection, mainly cause by Madurella mycetomatis fungus. This study was carried out in vitro to investigate the antifungal activity of Anogeissus leiocarpus leaf extracts against the isolated pathogenic Madurella mycetomatis, by using the NCCLS modified method compared to Ketoconazole standard drug, and MTT assay. The bioactive fraction was subjected to chemical analysis implementing different chromatographic analytical methods (TLC, HPLC, and LC-MS/MS). The results showed significance antifungal activity of A. leiocarpus leaf extracts against the isolated pathogenic M. mycetomatis, compared to negative and positive controls. The chloroform fraction showed the highest antifungal activity. The chromatographic analysis of the chloroform fraction with the highest activity showed the presence of important bioactive compounds such as ellagic and flavellagic acids derivatives, flavonoids and stilbenoid, which are well known for their antifungal activity.
Anaerobic digestion is a well-known technique for sustainable energy recovery from sewage sludge. However, sewage sludge digestion is restricted due to certain factors. Pre-treatment methods have been established in various publications as a promising technique to improve the digestibility of the sewage sludge and to enhance the biogas generated which can be used for energy recovery. In this study, continuous flow microwave (MW) pre-treatment with different intensities were compared by using 5 L semi-continuous digesters at a hydraulic retention time of 27 days. We focused on the effects of MW at different intensities on the sludge solubilization, sludge digestibility, and biogas production of the untreated and MW pre-treated sludge. The MW pre-treatment demonstrated an increase in the ratio of soluble chemical oxygen demand to total chemical oxygen demand (sCOD/tCOD) and volatile fatty acid (VFA) concentration. Besides that, the total volatile solid (TVS) removal efficiency and tCOD removal efficiency also increased during the digestion of the MW pre-treated sewage sludge compared to the untreated sewage sludge. Furthermore, the biogas yield also subsequently increases due to the pre-treatment effect. A higher MW power level and irradiation time generally enhanced the biogas generation which has potential for sustainable energy recovery from sewage treatment plant. However, the net energy balance tabulation shows that the MW pre-treatment leads to negative net energy production.
In the vicinity of red sea about 15 fungi species were isolated from oil contaminated sites. On the basis of aptitude to degrade the crude oil and DCPIP assay, two fungal isolates were selected amongst 15 oil degrading strains. Analysis of ITS-1, ITS-2 and amplicon pyrosequencing studies of fungal diversity revealed that these strains belong to Penicillium and Aspergillus species. Two strains that proved to be the most efficient in degrading crude oil was Aspergillus niger (54%) and Penicillium commune (48%) Subsequent to two weeks of cultivation in BHS medium the degradation rate were recorded by using spectrophotometer and GC-MS. Hence, it is cleared that these fungal strains has capability of degradation and can be utilize for cleaning the Saudi Arabian environment.
As a result of the ambiguity and complexity surrounding anaerobic digester foaming, efforts have been made by various researchers to understand the process of anaerobic digester foaming so as to proffer a solution that can be universally applied rather than site specific. All attempts ranging from experimental analysis to comparative review of other process has not fully explained the conditions and process of foaming in anaerobic digester. Studying the current available knowledge on foam formation and relating it to anaerobic digester process and operating condition, this piece of work presents a succinct and enhanced understanding of foaming in anaerobic digesters as well as introducing a simple method to identify the onset of anaerobic digester foaming based on analysis of historical data from a field scale system.
The influence of cultivation factors such as content of ammonium sulfate, glucose and water in the culture medium and particle size of dry orange waste, on their bioconversion for pectinase production was studied using complete factorial design. A polygalacturonase (PG) was isolated using ion exchange chromatography under gradient elution 0-0,5 m/l NaCl (column equilibrate with acetate buffer pH 4,5), subsequently by sephadex G75 column chromatography was applied and the molecular weight was obtained about 51,28 KDa. Purified PG enzyme exhibits a pH and temperature optima of activity at 5 and 35°C respectively. Treatment of apple juice by purified enzyme extract yielded a clear juice, which was competitive with juice yielded by pure Sigma Aldrich Aspergillus niger enzyme.

Thinking or going to Tunisia for the first time, in April, and just wondered where we should go?
We plan to eat out, and therefore only going for B&B.
We tend to do a lot of travelling/activities and as I am Married- there will be a lot of shopping, too.
So Conclusion-
Close to shopping and restaurants, (Restaurants need a good variety)
it should be busy,
and for the time we do go to beach- it is within walking distance.
Any help is much appreciated and I hope to add a full comprehensive review when I get back.
Thank you.

You can do a lot of research looking for something that can go from the skeet shoot to the

Call me old fashioned, but I like to think of hunting not just as a sport, but as a skilled

Share your snoring woes and cures(97 Posts)
If you share a bed with a snorer, night times can be an exhausting experience. Or worse, if you're the one tooting like a foghorn, they can be horribly embarrassing. To mark National Stop Snoring Week (22 - 26 April) please would you share any sound tips - short of kipping elsewhere - you've discovered for getting some undisturbed shut-eye, or making sure your DP gets a little.
Watching with interest
My dh isn't a snorer as such but can't breathe through his nose so breathes really heavily all night long with his mouth wide open. It's like sleeping in a room with the wind from a storm but without the thunder!
Years ago he had an operation to remove the cartilage from his nose as it was blocking the airwaves. That worked really well for a while.
Now he has to sleep on his side, he always falls asleep first (he gets up stupidly early and I don't), I can then make sure he stays on his side long enough for me to go to sleep by placing my hand on his back. Sounds a bit weird but it works. He snores when he's drunk but then so do I!!
DH's snoring is very very loud, we've tried a lot of things and he's been to the doctor, but the simple fact is that he is overweight. He didn't snore when I met him and he was a man with a six pack. I sleep with headphones in and listen to radio four to drown him out. It's quite an art to find the right sort of program, not too interesting or I'll stop myself going to sleep to listen to the peogram, no music - too lively, not depressing, or potentially upsetting. The archers is good, but a bit too short.
A lot of the time I'm woken by his snoring and if it gets bad he sleeps on the sofa. We're trying to move at the moment to a house with a spare bedroom, although I don't want to be permanently in separate rooms. I haven't had to get up in the night for children in years, but I still rarely get into bed and sleep all the way through to the morning - it's not fun.
DH is away at the moment, I'm supposed to be taking advantage and catching up on some sleep - do you see what time it is?
Poor you NotMostPeople!
I would like to add to my previous post that I have taken to sleeping with a pillow on my head to muffle his snoring.
I'm a snorer but bought a Tomned Somoguard which is a guard you mould yourself (which stops your jaw dropping down) and its very good. According to my partner I either don't snore or snore much more quietly when I wear it. I also feel like I've slept better after wearing it. The device costs about £100 which is dear but it does work and can be adjusted to get a really good fit. It feels a bit odd at first - my jaw was a bit stiff for about a week and I produced more saliva but both issues went after about a week. I bought a denture box and sterdent tablets to clean it with so it's always nice and minty when I put it in.
One thing I will say is there are different types of snorers and what works for one person will not always work for another. To find out the best snoring device for you or your partner I recommend the interactive test in the British Snoring Association website: www.britishsnoring.co.uk/mobile/itests/
Just to add I bought the Tomed AP model - but there are cheaper / different models available .
I posted on the other thread, DH had a £350 mouthguard made, it made him sound like Darth Vader. He now has a Cpap machine......silence!
My dh has been a snorer since he was a child. A really, really, really bad snorer - he'd had people banging on the hotel room wall, standing outside our tent shouting abuse about the level of his snoring.
6 years ago he finally went to a sleep clinic, got diagnosed with very severe OSA, and has been on CPAP ever since. There is silence at night now, and I'm very thankful that his GP took him seriously and did the referral as his consultant said his life would have been very significantly shorter without treatment.
Oh my goodness! After reading this thread last night I bought a snoring app to see just how bad my snoring is and if DH is justified in his moaning.
The results are in and they are terrible! Apparently a score of 100 puts you in the top 10% of worst snorers. My score was 117 and I am very, very loud! Going back to reread thread for some ideas on how to reduce it. No wonder Dh always moans!!
Dh is a snorer. He has sleep apnoea that he won't see anyone about
as he's overweight. He has a mouth guard but he can't keep it in all night. Sleeping on his back makes it worse.
I read somewhere that sewing half tennis balls into the back of a t-shirt/ pj top stops them rolling on their back and reduces snoring. Dh won't try it though.

Lunatic - it's called SnoreLab. It records your snoring all night and gives you all the stats for it. You can also listen to samples of the snoring.
I started using a CPAP machine on March 19th, after having a sleep study on Feb 5/6th. The CPAP mask can be an arse to wear but I'm surprised at how quickly I go to sleep. For years - like, since I was 5 - it's always taken me ages to get off to sleep. Now, 30 years later, I'm several st overweight as is my husband who also snores. Difference is, he won't go to the dr's about it!!
In the last 6-12 weeks, I've learned through research and info from my dr that he's a classic sleep apnoea case.
Both dh and I snore terribly and it's got worse over the years
as we've got fatter
I really ought to see the doctor about it but I know that the first thing I will be told to do is lose the weight and I've been struggling with that anyway for various reasons.
I snore when I'm lying on my side. I snore even when my mouth is closed. DH is a back lying gob open snorer.
We rarely sleep in the same room, dh uses ear plugs. Normal sex life etc but just don't SLEEP in the same room.
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Check for sleep apnoea.the masks have transformed my sleep.
I am now the snorer. Need to lose weight and also deal with a sinus or rhinitis infection that blocks my nose every 10 mins.
Separate rooms here save my sanity and a cuddle in the morning to save the marriage
The GP refused to refer DH unless he lost weight, but he
isn't trying very hard is finding it difficult. I have wondered about finding a private clinic for an assessment.
It doesn't seem like sleep apnoea to me (and I have spent plenty of time listening to it), very regular, no sudden snorts, breathing is smooth in and out, but just so noisy. The only position he doesn't snore in is face down.
like others here I'm a sleep apnoea sufferer. developed it suddenly after being on steroids. my apnoea index was 106. ie I stopped breathing 106 times an hour!
I went to the doctor after I fell asleep driving the car.
The biggest cause of death to sleep apnoea sufferers is car crashes which also kills others.
If you are a snorer or live with a snorer make sure you familiarise yourself with the symptoms.
Marking my place. I did a thread about dp's snoring recently. I think he has sleep apnea, he sleeps downstairs quite often and i can still hear him, drives me mental.
I am going to look at a snoring app and record him and send him to the drs.
Dh is the snorer here. He is only 11 stone so weight is not his issue. I can't use ear plugs as I don't like the idea of not hearing if the DC's get up in the middle of the night. He tends to go to sleep with his arms wrapped round his neck to hold the quilt in place. As soon as he drops off, I re-arrange his arms and move his head slightly and this tends to stop him but only until he naturally moves in his sleep a couple of hours later.
We have reverted to separate beds, it's the only way were we both get uninterrupted sleep. Not the ideal solution but we are a lot happier as we are not constantly sniping at each other through tiredness.
hearing snoring in another room can be one of the signs of sleep apnoea. If you google Epworth sleep score you can grade yourself/DH and decide whether a trip to the GP is in order.
Sleep apnoea sufferers tend to have very high blood pressure and therefore higher risk of strokes.
You do not need to be overweight to have sleep apnoea, though it is more common.
Shall look up the epworth sleep score. Dp def does the snoring and then pauses before jolting and taking a big breath etc, pretty sure he has a problem but trying to get him to the gp... He did look at some stuff on sleep apnea and agreed it sounds like him and said he would go but he is always too busy...
5madthings. My life was transformed with a CPAP machine. I thought I was depressed - everything seems like too much effort, I dosed off all the time, never felt well, kept putting on weight (broken sleep encourages weight gain), couldn't concentrate, short term memory was shot to bits, I looked grey and unhealthy and my blood pressure was 175/115.
Losing your job because you are under-performing isn't uncommon with sleep apnoea - maybe your DH would have more time to go to his GP then!
I know I'm preaching to the converted but make him read my post. I'm a different person now - life is much better.
Having undiagnosed sleep apnoea is like living your life in the shadows.

When it comes to meditation and business, the main reason why a person chooses to undertake this mind body centering technique isn't necessarily for spiritual enlightenment. Rather, most business people tend to pick up a meditation practice to help relieve job related stress and anxiety. And no other group of individuals could benefit more from meditation than those practicing law.
Amanda Enayati, in this recent CNN post, explores the growing trend among attorneys to pursue meditation as a way to stay centered and calm despite their overwhelming job demands. For many, according to Enayati, meditation presents a welcome stress-relieving-alternative to alcohol and other substances.
The earliest organized meditation retreat for lawyers was held in October 1998 for Yale law students and faculty. Since then, mindfulness practices have popped up with increasing frequency – from national conferences on mindful lawyering to courses in law schools (CUNY and the University of Miami, among them) to retreats for trial lawyers, workshops for judges, and continuing legal education for practicing attorneys at Zen and Buddhist centers.
Growing numbers of attorneys are embracing some form of practice to achieve mindfulness. Their reasons for doing so are varied, but chief among them are stress management and improved mental and physical health – benefits backed by research findings from scientists at Harvard and University of Pennsylvania, among others.

The Road Ahead
Posted on Jan 03, 2011
Melanie Elturk
As we bring in the New Year and 2010 comes to a close, I find myself not only looking ahead but also reflecting on the past year and how far we've come from the simple idea that was born over dinner. For the past month, we've worked very hard at presenting the scarves you see on this site. As I sift through the different patterns, shapes and textures I think about the woman who will ultimately wear the scarf I toss into my "yes" pile, or what name I'll come up with for the stunning red and black silk scarf I'm dying to keep for myself. The comfort of shopping at vintage stores combined with the element of surprise with each scarf I pick up makes the task easy.
As chief designer, I also simultaneously work on the clothing line to be launched this spring. Design is the most critical aspect of any clothing line and ours is no exception. Great design can elevate and endure for generations. Knowing this, we scrutinize over every detail and push each design to the limit. We are in the unique position of designing clothes that are not only fashionable but value conscious. Creating the perfect balance between a gorgeous garment that also happens to be modest is when I know we've got it right.
I would like to reiterate our appreciation to everyone for your continued support and excitement. Designing for conscientious people is both gratifying and challenging. We aim to exceed expectations and break new ground. Our clothing is meant to address a need for people of all faiths and many walks of life, where clothing has become too overburdened with consumerism and iconography at the expense of good design or positive thinking. Rather than insulting your intelligence, we believe you are just as eager as we are to start a brand that challenges these old ways of thinking about fashion. We are your brand.
In the coming months we welcome your continued support and feedback. We love hearing from you,
Melanie Elturk
Chief Designer and CEO

Feeling like you're missing something? You may be long over due for a girl's night out. This somewhat rare occasion can be the perfect pick me up to get you through the the week. Spending some quality time with your ladies is the best therapy out there. Research even shows that time with your girlfriends not only boost your mood, but can even help you live longer. So adding a twist to the age old saying… a little girl time a day keeps the doctor away? It sounds like a win-win to me!

What to Wear
Girl's Night Out
Apr. 17, 2014
I saw this Fashionista starting her evening out to dinner with her friend and her floral red maxi dress caught my eye. The vibrant red hue was eye catching and daring which was complemented by the deep criss-cross back. Girl's night out is the time to wear something girly and playful. This maxi dress is the epitome of those qualities and will attract the right kind of attention all night long. I personally love any outfit with an interesting back. It is the best way to show a little skin while remaining classy. I love this dress with a back cutout that would be adorable for your next girl's night out. The free flowing sheer material of this Fashionista's dress would be ideal on a warm summer night and could easily be paired with a jean jacket or leather jacket in cooler weather.
In order to make her dress the main statement, this Fashionista simplified her accessories so they wouldn't be too overbearing paired with the dress. A chunky gold necklace is a staple every woman should have in her jewelry collection. I also love this gold necklace which would pair with virtually any outfit. Her classic black sandals solve the challenge of balancing in heels on the uneven cobblestone streets of St. Augustine.
One Simple Change: Transform this dress to something more appropriate for a winter's night out by throwing on a chic leather jacket and switching out the sandals for booties instead.

Outside of the Terminus Hotel, the rain is coming down hard. 47 doesn't seem to mind as he walk toward the front door. Light reflecting off the ground. The intel 47 received from his contact, Birdie, suggests that Blake Dexter is in Chicago searching for Victoria. He's chilling out in a suite inside the Terminus Hotel. I need to get in there and find out what he knows.
I walk in the Hotel and have a look around. Dexter's thugs are thoroughly guarding the place. I don't want to take any chances, so I check outside for another way in. Behind a car by the left side of the Hotel is a ladder leading down into the basement.
Down in the depths, I notice a flashlight. Its owner is another of Dexter's thugs and I quickly subdue him. Further ahead, an electrician is doing maintenance work which makes him an easy target. It's so convenient that everyone's clothes fit 47 so well. I continue up a small staircase and head for the elevator.
What the hell is this!? I took the electrician outfit because I figured I'd be the only one wearing it. Turns out that it's like an electricians convention in the basement. There's like seven other dudes in here and they can all see right through my disguise. It's not all bad news as I can see my objective. I call the elevator and wait for it to show. When it finally reaches the basement, I get in and ascend to the floors above.
Oh thank Jesus! No other electrician is up here with me. No one is suspicious at all. Some of these armed thugs are kind of nice, considering they wouldn't think twice about putting a bullet in my head. Ten guards occupy the seventh floor. Dexter is on the eighth. Three guards are relaxing in the lobby area, two in a back hallway, two are keeping watch over a stairway that leads to the eighth floor, one is by a hall that's for employees only, and one is by a opened window. That's my ticket to Dexter. A nearby radio provides the necessary distraction.
Yep, still raining outside. I hope 47 isn't afraid of heights. Shimmying around a little ledge, I reach another open window. Well that's convenient, a staircase. Eighth floor here I come.
More guards, more open windows. I creep up behind and another one bites the dust. Again I take this opportunity to jump through the open window and shimmy my way to the other side of the building. When I sneak inside, I'm directly outside room 899, Dexter's suite. I pick the lock before any guard see and enter the room. I crawl through a vent as the screen fades to black. Mission accomplished.

Structured finance caught off-balance
Structured finance has been around since the 19th century in the US, in the form of bonds backed by mortgages, but over the past two decades it has become an increasingly popular tool for the energy industry. It enables companies to borrow money on the back of an asset or a project rather than based on their own credit rating.
This form of risk transfer to a special-purpose entity (SPE) allows firms with different credit ratings to create a joint venture for new project development

text: GreeceA heady mix of mythical legend, magnificent feats of ancient architectural brilliance, sun-drenched beaches and aquamarine coastlines, Greece and its islands offer a wealth of possibilities to both the first-time visitor and seasoned island hopper. This fascinating country may currently be living through trying economic times, but the welcome will still be as warm and heartfelt and the experience just as magical, this is after all a country where visitors contribute an integral part to the livelihood of its people. Imagine balmy summer evenings sitting on the terrace of a traditional Greek tavern, watching the sun set over glittering Aegean waters, plates of meze - plump olives, chunks of feta and stuffed vine leaves - accompanied by a glass of chilled retsina, perhaps moving on to a fiery ouzo as the night draws in. Mainland or island, this is Greece at its best.

Lily and Piper
They are now 4 months old and yesterday I set them up to take some pictures of them and all their cuteness.
They are getting so big, so fast!! I just cannot believe how much they are smiling and how expressive they are becoming! We are absolutely loving seeing their different personalities and watching them develop and grow. They are loving their hands and like to have them in front of their faces at all times, especially when they are eating.
Piper has begun trying to roll over. The problem is, she doesn't even like being on her tummy so I am probably going to laugh when she actually does it and then decides she doesn't like it but can't turn back over. It will be funny but very frustrating for her, I'm sure.
Lily is content to lie on her back and when she sleeps, she always has her arms up above her head like she's laying in a hammock. She doesn't care to be rocked to sleep or held when she's tired, she would rather be put down wide awake and fall asleep on her own.
Piper likes to sleep on her side and will sometimes get to be on her side with her head tilted back in an arch. She was like that in the womb, so it's natural that she still does it. When she was born, her nose was a bit flattened because her head had been tilted back and pressed upwards.
They are both finding their voices and love to smile, coo, shriek with delight, and sometimes laugh! It is just so much fun to watch their eyes move around and to see them smiling at you when you aren't even looking at them. Makes me feel so loved!
I am so giddy when I go in to get them in the morning or when I am feeding them their bottles and they stop drinking to smile at me. It makes my heart feel incredibly full and so happy! They are such a delight!

When you read the news, all of us must wonder about how strange the world sometimes is. From Sudan, where women are being punished for being raped, to Egypt and/or the Ukrain where freedom fighters are effectively removing presidents and (probably) end up with just another dictator.
Or in our modern western world, where secret agencies are tapping our phones, reading our emails and spying with our own web cams.
I always wonder how technology will change the world and will it be in good or bad way. Mobile phones have led to a new youth addiction where you think that the next generation will probably be born with a mobile phone that is already stitched to their hands so they can't loose it or avoid using it.
But I still have good faith that this is just a phase on our path to progress and get some valueable use of modern technology. We will effectively fight tirans, secret agencies and strange new addictions once we are aware of them and use technology we have to help with that. Unfortunately most next steps are in only half the cases in the right direction, but eventually we will make another step forward, we allways have and always will as long as we have been around as a species. Any dicatator or agency trying to control a nation is doomed to fail, it is just a matter of time China will be on that list too.
I want to express my respect to all of those who fight the bad guys and any misuse of technology. Stay on it and our future will be bright.

Given the recent events in the Ukrain, fighting the bad guys seems not enough. It has become a large geopolitical conflict. Russia is trying to get as much control as they can over the Ukrain, by starting to take control over the Krim. With some legitimacy given by the premier of the Krim. The Krim is indeed strategic for Russia since the entire Black Sea navy is there and Russia does not have many ice free harbours.
But they are basically searching for a conflict with the Ukrain, to invade the country without the Western world to engage in this conflict. It will probably not engage military anyway, at best with supply of weapons for the Ukrainian army to defend themselves but more likely that we we will try to force Russia to give up on the Ukrain with economic pressure.
President Poetin has proven to be sensitive to economic pressure. He gave up the fight in Georgia because Europe was determined to help Georgia and that is what we should do now for the Ukranian people. Europe is key in the role to stop Russia from invading the Ukrain. The US can help, but from my perspective plays a secondary role. But it is good that the minister of foreign affairs Kerry is sent to Kiev.
one week ago the new ukranian goverment met with the official NATO envoy to the ost-evropean politik and they signed the new agreement of nato-ukrainian comission which was stopped by janukovich. one of the very important condition for getting so called MAP-membership plan is not to have open militery conflikts on your territori where the parts of national army are active. so now is clear why ukrain goverment and national parlament calls everythig what is going on in krim provocation and russia does everything to provocate the new goverment for the war.
