If you are going to use online marketing tools, you must be well-versed on what makes a page visually appealing to people. Have you ever encountered a page where you seem to feel bombarded or suffocated with the long lines of text and improperly selected colors or templates? Certainly, you would not want your website to be classified under that category.
You must be able to render some semblance of visual quality to match the quality of your products and your business. Few people are going to put up with lousy visuals no matter how good the offer is or how promising the product seems to be.
When you are designing your page, you must take into the account the usual manner with which people read. It is usually done in a left to right fashion. So it would do you a lot of good if you will position your subscription somewhere in the right. Also, it will draw the prospects' attention to the upper right hand side of your page if you attach and image.
The top and center portion of the page is also a good place to put your killer headline, which must in a nutshell summarize the benefits that your prospect can get if he or she continues to focus on what is being offered in this page or the next.
Placing anchor text in the midst of your articles or blocks of text regarding similar topics that you have may also help the linger longer in the page and have a desire to explore it.
Speedreaders are also popular in the Internet. People apparently tend to read material in an S-like fashion. And people are least likely to take breaks while reading, so you must do this minor favor for them by providing lots of white space in the middle of chunks of information so that their eyes can breathe and be able to brace themselves to absorb the next point.
If anything, the last thing you would want your readers to suffer from is information overload. That will definitely have you in their do-not-visit-again list.
When you are also providing your contact numbers, please do include it already in your signature. The signature signals the end to the reader, and the text that appears beyond the signature is usually left unread because most people are more than ready to move on to the next page after the signature.
Before you also provide your readers with information, you might want to strategically place in your squeeze page and have them opt-in before viewing the rest of the page they are trying to read. This way, you will get their email address and have them instantly included in your prospects.
However, some people may actually put in a bogus email address. To avoid this, have the needed information sent to the email address they placed. This will compel them to give out their authentic email address to be able to have access to the desired information.
The way you insert the option for readers to opt-in must also be assertive in a non-obtrusive kind of way.

USDA Report on Rural Individuals' Telehealth Practices. The Economic Research Service at the U.S. Department of Agriculture used detailed household data to analyze three basic telehealth activities as practiced by consumers age 15 or older: 1) online health research; 2) online health maintenance (communication with health providers, including communicating with medical practitioners, maintaining records, and paying bills); and 3) online health monitoring via devices that exchange data remotely with medical personnel. The research found that rural residents were less likely than urban to engage in these telehealth activities, and the report breaks down the findings by income, education and other demographic factors.
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2019 Rural Residency Planning and Development (RRPD) Program via Grants.gov. The purpose of this grant program is to develop new rural residency programs or Rural Training Tracks (RTT) in family medicine, internal medicine, and psychiatry to support expansion of the physician workforce in rural areas. The new rural residency programs or RTTs are intended to be sustainable through separate public or private funding beyond the three-year RRPD grant period of performance. Up to 28 awardees also will receive technical assistance from the Rural Residency Planning and Development – Technical Assistance Center, which was awarded via cooperative agreement in September 2018, for the duration of the project period. Hospitals, medical schools and community-based ambulatory settings that have a rural designation along with consortia of urban and rural partnerships are eligible to apply for a grant award. Applications are due March, 9, 2019.

Those without an employer-based plan may visit HealthCare.gov and CuidadodeSalud.gov to shop for plans that will begin coverage on January 1, 2019. Eleven states and the District of Columbia have their own state-based websites for enrollment in individual/family or small business health coverage, or both. Some states have expanded their Medicaid programs to cover more people. Choose your state and household size to learn if your state has expanded and if you may qualify.
Apply for this grant on Grants.gov.
The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is accepting applications for the fiscal year (FY) 2019 Advanced Nursing Education Workforce (ANEW) Program. The purpose of this program is to support innovative academic-practice to educate primary care Nurse Practitioners (NP), clinical nurse specialists (CNS) and nurse midwives (NM) prepared for the unique challenges practicing in rural and underserved communities.
HRSA expects approximately $37,250,000 to fund approximately 53 recipients. You may apply for up to $700,000 per year, of which $350,000 may be used for student traineeships. In order to be eligible for an award, applicants must request both traineeships and academic-practice program infrastructure funds.
Surgeon General's Call to Action on Community Health and Prosperity. Rural stakeholders have until Monday, November 5th to offer comment on the Surgeon General's efforts focusing on how local investments have the potential to improve the health and prosperity of communities. This opportunity for public comment provides a way to ensure that the broader national effort includes a specific focus on rural issues. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is working with the Surgeon General's Office on this effort and the goal is to use the information from the public to help guide this effort. Rural stakeholders are encouraged to submit written views, recommendations, and data about how investing in communities can improve health and prosperity and unique characteristics of rural communities that need to be taken into account in the larger effort by the Surgeon General.

Q: Hbase not condition in compound filter I want to build compound filter.
I can do something like this
(filter1 and filter2) or filter3

Now I want to build the same filter, but with negative function
(**NOT** (filter1 and filter2)) or filter3

And I want to do it with java client api (org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client)

A: You have to use FilterList to do this kind of condition.
FilterList
Implementation of Filter that represents an ordered List of Filters which will be evaluated with a specified boolean operator FilterList.Operator.MUST_PASS_ALL (AND) or FilterList.Operator.MUST_PASS_ONE (OR).
AFAIK negation as shown above is not possible directly with FilterList.  I'd suggest to use  SOLR(May be Elastic search also) to do this. If you are using Cloudera Solr(Cloudera Search) is useful for this.

Queen of the South Season 5: What Happens to Camilla in This Season?
Fans of the popular USA television series "Queen of the South" may no longer follow Teresa Mendoza (Alice Braga) on her ascent to wealth and power. The fifth and final season of the program ended its lengthy run on June 9, 2021, when the finale aired.
Starting in 2016, Teresa's hardships are the focus of the gripping story. Teresa begins as a drug dealer, wanting to keep her lover out of danger. However, she gradually moves up the food chain, gaining control and influence over the illegal drug trade.
She makes important contacts along the way with individuals like the initially unreliable James (Peter Gadiot), the protective Pote Galvez (Hemky Madera), and Kelly Anne Van Awken (Molly Burnett), whom Teresa originally meets as a housewife in way over her head.
"Queen of the South" is a whirlwind tale that is based on the drama "La Reina del Sur," which itself is based on the book of the same name by Arturo Pérez-Reverte. The show's final act includes plenty of action, romance, and loss. Here is the "Queen of the South" Season 5 ending, explained, in case you need a little assistance understanding what happened to Teresa and her crew and what it all means.

The well-known drama La Reina del Sur, which debuted on Telemundo, a US-based sister network, was adapted into Queen of the South. Both live-action versions of the novels La Reina Del Sur by author Arturo Perez-work Reverte are television shows.
The series' protagonist is Teresa Mendoza (Alice Braga), a modest Mexican woman who rises from the streets to command the biggest drug empire in the world. Through the course of the series, it tracks her rise to fame in the drug industry, which is predominately male.

In the series' penultimate season, the whole prior cast will return to their roles. Teresa Mendoza, also known as the "Queen of South," is in charge of the cast (played by Alice Braga). Hemky Madera's former actors Pote Galvez and James Valdez, Nick Sagar's former actor Alonzo Loya, and Chicho's former actor Alejandro Barrios all make a comeback to the cast in new roles.
When Tony Parra (Julian Silva) was killed in the fourth season finale by an explosion, season 5 abruptly ended. Kelly Anne, a character played by Molly Burnett who is now a series regular, will be recognized by Mendoza's cartel members. Pasha Lychnikoff has added Kostya to the cast. James Valdez was a recurring cast member in the previous season.
According to MichiganSportsZone, The first episode of USA Network's fifth season debuted on April 7, 2022. The final episode of the series, which is the tenth, will air on June 9 on USA Network. The USA Network airs a brand-new episode of Queen of the South season 5 every Wednesday at 10 p.m./9 c.

A Tribe Called Quest, Nas Lead Rock The Bells Bill

After breaking out last year with a handful of large-scale festival performances from the reunited Rage Against the Machine, this summer's Rock the Bells tour will feature appearances by A Tribe Called Quest, Nas, Mos Def, De La Soul, Rakim and the reunited Pharcyde, among others.
The traveling hip-hop festival will visit amphitheaters in 10 major North American cities, beginning July 19 in Chicago, and wrapping Aug. 30 in Vancouver. This year marks the first time Rock the Bells will visit Toronto (July 20), Vancouver and Philadelphia (Aug. 3).
"They asked me, and I immediately decided to do it," A Tribe Called Quest's Q-Tip tells Billboard. "With the amazing lineup, Rock the Bells is definitely this summer's must see show. Plus, Rock the Bells has given me the opportunity to reunite with my legendary cohorts — Ali and Phife — and premiere my latest material from 'The Renaissance.'"
Also on the bill in various markets are Santogold, Spank Rock, Kid Sister, Jay Electronica, Wale, Flosstradamus, the Cool Kids, Method Man & Redman, Raekwon & Ghostface (Cuban Linx), Immortal Technique, Dead Prez, Murs and Kidz In the Hall, along with hosts Supernatural and B-Real of Cypress Hill.
"Our thought is that we always want to put together a well-rounded bill that represents a lot of different facets of live hop-hop," Rock the Bells founder and organizer Chang Weisberg of Guerilla Union tells Billboard.com.
Following festival dates in North America, a number of acts on the bill will travel overseas for Rock the Bells concerts in Europe and Japan, beginning Sept. 20 at the 02 Arena in London. "We are continually trying to push the envelope so we can continue to support these artists and their careers globally," Weisberg notes.
Along with Rage Against The Machine, last year's Rock the Bells featured performances by the Wu-Tang Clan, Public Enemy, Cypress Hill, Talib Kweli, Pharoahe Monch, Immortal Technique, Jedi Mind Tricks, the Roots, Sage Francis, Mos Def, EPMD and MF Doom. Twelve shows tracked by Billboard Boxscore grossed $14.5 million and drew more than 203,000 concertgoers.

Ел Гуна или само Гуна ( – "лагуна") е курортен град в Египет на 22 км северно от Хургада на самия бряг на Червено море. На големина е почти колкото центъра на Лондон.

Египетската групировка "Ораском" изгражда в пустинята и притежава целия курортен град. Състои се от 14 различни хотела – от малки за семейства до големи 5-звездни на плажа. Частни лица също могат да закупуват къщи или апартаменти.

Инфраструктурата е добра. Водно-пречиствателни станции преработват отточните води за напояване на голф игрищата и хотелските градини. Водно-преработвателни станции захранват града с питейна вода. В града се намира болница по европейски стандарти със зъболекари, декомпресионна камера за гмуркачи и аптека. Малко частно летище също е на разположение. Международното летище на Хургада е на около 20 км.

Humana Festival 2012: The Hour of Feeling (Review)
Posted by Joey in Humana Festival of New American Plays
israel, mona mansour, palestine, play
If you find yourself in an intolerable situation that is not of your own making, and you see a way out, but taking it means leaving somebody else, or even your entire family, behind — do you go?
That's the question at the heart of Mona Mansour's The Hour of Feeling, currently playing at Actors' Theatre in downtown Louisville, Kentucky, part of the prestigious Humana Festival of New American Plays.
Beder, the aging mother of Adham, our protagonist, faced that question when her son was an infant, and unapologetically decided to go, leaving her husband and her other son in a refugee camp in Lebanon in 1948. She walked across the desert with Adham on her back, determined to give him a new and better life in her homeland, Palestine. She also burned all the old photographs of her other son, so that she would not feel the loss of him anymore (she claims). Nineteen years later, on the eve of the Six-Day War between Israel and its neighbors, Beder says that she still considers herself to be a refugee, and that she's kept her bags packed. She is always ready to leave everything behind her, if she has to.
Adham, a Wordsworth scholar, happens to be in London with his new wife, delivering a lecture, when the Six-Day War breaks out. For Adham, the opportunity to escape the chaos — his peers at the university immediately start making noises about keeping him around on a semi-permanent basis due to the "conditions back home" — is an easy decision. It's exactly the kind of thing that his mother would have wanted him to do, even though it means leaving her, specifically, behind, very likely to die, or at least to suffer yet another round of painful refugeeism. That's how she raised him. To do anything else would erase her own sacrifice. For Adham's wife, though, his decision makes no sense. She can't understand a man who is capable of leaving his family behind. For her the very idea of escape is nonsensical: what has happened to her family in Palestine has happened to her, too, in a very real and immediate way, and her only priority is to get back there so that she can be with them while it happens.
"This place looks like nowhere to me," she says.
To which he responds, "Then it suits you."
She goes back home. He stays. Spoiler alert! Ha!
For a character to make such a ruthless, self-interested decision while maintaining the sympathy and empathy of the audience requires a very, very charming actor and a very, very seductive performance. Hadi Tabbal was not up to the task, at least not on opening night. He played Adham in a rushed, high-handed way that distanced him from the audience as surely and as quickly as he distanced himself from his wife and his mother. From his first scene, where we find him whining to his mother about her traditional village ways, I didn't like Adham, not even a little bit. I never came around. Think: a young Arabic Woody Allen with all of the putziness but none of the humor. A man who talks that way to his mother? Bah. (And, yeah, whatever, I'm sure I talked that way to my mother when I was in my twenties, but I'm a real person, not a character in a play, so, again, bah).
It's not always necessary to like a protagonist of a play. But I think it was probably necessary to like the protagonist of this one. Since I didn't like the guy, I felt nothing but boredom as his moral dilemma made itself manifest. I imagine that if I had read the play, instead of watching this performance, I would have liked it a lot, though. Maybe.
The staging, as is almost always the case at Actors' — especially for productions in the larger Pamela Brown theater — was spectacular and inventive. And there's a simple trick with the lighting at the very end that was as memorable as anything I've ever seen on stage.
I am serializing my second novel Snake-Boy Loves Sky Prince: a Gay Superhero Teen Romance while I write it. It's not here, though. I've set up a different website for that. So if that's what you're looking for:

No Heart for Huckabees
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee to speak at Freedom Foundation fundraiser in Salem
BlogNews by Henry HoustonPosted on 11/06/2019

Mike Huckabee is a failed presidential candidate, the former governor of Arkansas and apparently plays the bass guitar well.
But Huckabee is getting ready to come to Oregon to speak at a Freedom Foundation fundraising event. Besides being the dad of President Donald Trump's former press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Huckabee has said some stupid stuff — like LGBTQ rights are the biggest threats to the U.S., that he may buy a home in Israeli-occupied West Bank, sent racist Tweets and so much more.
Freedom Foundation is an anti-union organization based in Olympia, Washington. In July 2018, after the Supreme Court ruled that unions couldn't charge a minimum fee on non-members, Freedom Foundation began an opt-out campaign to notify public employees of the ruling. The group has used public records requests to acquire public employee personal information like phone numbers, email and mailing addresses.
The pro-labor nonprofit Northwest Accountability Project has been gathering signatures of people to tell Salem Convention Center that they oppose his presence. So far, the group sent 750 emails to the convention center's general manager, Chrissi Bertsch, Northwest Accountability Project's Executive Director Peter Starzynksi tells Eugene Weekly.
Starzynski adds that he hasn't heard back from Bertsch and even stopped by her office but she "wasn't available."
Eugene Weekly contacted Huckabee for comment but didn't respond, and Bertsch was unavailable for comment from EW.
"Oregon should be a welcoming place for all people including the LGBTQ+ community," Starzynksi says via email. "Mike Huckabee's brand of bigotry is harmful and dangerous. He is the type of extremist speaker we would expect from the Freedom Foundation, which has failed miserably in enacting their extremist, right wing agenda, but the Salem Convention Center should have higher standards."
For those who oppose Huckabee coming to Oregon, he says that people can contact Bertsch by emailing her on Northwest Accountability Project's website. He adds that people can attend the rally against Huckabee 5:30 pm Saturday, Nov. 9, at the Salem Convention Center.
"Also, people can do the opposite of Mike Huckabee and be nice to one another and help create a welcoming environment for the LGBTQ+ community," Starzynski says. "Reject Huckabee and the Freedom Foundation's brand of bigotry."

BRINDA GUHA identifies as a non-disabled, caste-privileged, cisgendered, queer South-Asian American, and is a trained Indian Classical Kathak dancer for over 20 years and has traveled throughout USA and to India, England, and Spain to perform. During training and performing for years in the Kathak (Guru Malabika Guha) & Manipuri (Guru Kalavati Devi) dance disciplines, as well as Flamenco (Carmen de las Cuevas; Dionisia Garcia) and Contemporary Fusion vocabularies, she co-founded Kalamandir Dance Company in 2010 and the movement vocabulary coined as #KalamandirStyle under the rich heritage of #ContemporaryIndian dance. Through Kalamandir, Brinda choreographed for many national stages, the North American Bengali Conference at Madison Square Garden, and self-produced and choreographed original feature-length dance productions which earned her artist residencies at Dixon Place (2018) and Dancewave (2019) to continue to develop work. Now, she is represented by CESD Talent Agency and is pursuing artistic direction, performance and arts education. Brinda also dances with dynamic percussive trio Soles of Duende, featuring Flamenco (Arielle Rosales), Tap (Amanda Castro), and Kathak (Guha). Her dream of having art meet activism was realized when she created WISE FRUIT NYC, a seasonal live arts installment (est 2017) dedicated to the feminine divine and honoring select women-led organizations. For her day job, she works as the Symposium Coordinator for dance service organization based in the values of justice, equity & inclusion: Dance/NYC. Brinda thanks her colleague, friend & accountability partner, Candace Thompson-Zachery, for her final eyes on this writing prompt.
What's one topic that you think dancers don't care enough about?
"Cultural appropriation is a problem… In dance, it's tricky. It's the arts, and it should be a mosaic of inspiration, ideas, lessons, and spaces shared. The issue lies with the funneling of the resources gained from artistic works, and the positionality of many practitioners who place themselves as the gatekeeper to the work. There are many reasons why that's problematic. One is that communities that are the creators of many forms, vocabularies, and techniques are often marginalized communities that have had to find a way to position their identities in a rich, straight, cisgendered, white, male-dominated world. Their dance forms are created to preserve their culture, often culture that was systematically taken away, and to move from survival to thriving as their generational relentlessness refines itself. It is dance that continues to save people of color. So when Person A with little knowledge and connection to the origin communities of these forms gets an opportunity because of their work and there is no mechanism in place to advance the folks who gave their knowledge to Person A, it keeps the systems and hierarchies in that oppressive place. Capitalism is the foundation of why cultural appropriation is excruciatingly painful for communities of color. Simply put, don't take what's not yours. And if it was shared with you and you are a dedicated recipient of that deep knowledge, and support and encouragement on your side, then leverage your power and privilege to be sure your elders, mentors, teachers and origin communities are receiving a cut of the profit of your product."
How does the political climate influence your artistic expression?
"'An artist's duty is to reflect the times', Nina Simone said. The deepest well from which our artistic expression flows is dug out through our suffering and our awakening, time and time again. Simply put, the arts exist because people exist. And politics is a dirty word for civic engagement. And civic engagement in the cornerstone of democracy. And democracy allows us to fill the potential of our collective humanity. The political climate is simply a tonal shift in the ether of our day to day lives, especially since we live in such a capitalistic society. It's kind of frightening actually, if you think about it. If a policy shift in local government limits a resource, then human beings are going to have a reaction to it because human beings have to live through the consequences of that shift. When creating work, that tension, fear and anxiety is often channeled into work that helps ultimately heal oneself. It doesn't have to mean that a piece about tension, fear or anxiety is built — although, that's often the case because people can relate to those relevant society emotions. But sometimes, it can mean that a person may create something joyful or unlock something restorative or exploratory in the midst of that tension, fear and anxiety, because those are the qualities that we are longing for, that feel palpable to us in moments of uncertainty. Nina Simone said it best — art should move people on a different vibration than just pragmatism, and art should tap into the spaces where words and formulas don't fit. Art captures our complexity as human beings, and that's why it's inherently political."
How are you using your voice in the dance world right now?
"I am an organizer, and a 'gatherer'. I like to bring people together in safe ways, because capitalism is taking away our right to birth work in circles. Capitalism and its oppression is forcing us to create independently outward. Capitalism and it's procedures take away agency, and it divides and conquers us, forcing us to fight each other for scraps while the oppressor feasts at the top. I refuse to be another person on this planet that promotes that way of creating art. All ancient and traditional art forms start and end in a circle, and I intend to create spaces that start and end in our communal responsibility, accountability and love for one another. As of now, I have pivoted into digital organizing, using my Wise Fruit NYC platform to function as a social media campaign that encourages folks to take one small action of civic engagement each day. I am also continuing to teach my students and work with my company dancers regularly, and in a way that decolonizes our minds and individual practices, deconstructs our community pain, and rebuilds its love of craft from a truthful place. I gather people to humbly join me in doing better for our planet."

The research work investigates the metal uptake of the plants Lycopersicon esculentum (tomato), Rumex acetosa (sorrel), and Solanum melongena (garden egg) collected from experimental sites and a control area in Zaria, Nigeria. The concentrations of Cd, Cu, Fe, Pb, Mn, and Zn in different parts of each of the plant species grown on the experimental and control soils were determined using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The experimental levels of the metals were higher than those at the control site and the limits recommended by Food and Agricultural Organisation/World Health Organisation (FAO/WHO). Solanum melongena showed bioaccumulation factor (BF) and transfer factor (TF) greater than 1 for Cd, Pb, and Mn; Rumex acetosa showed BF and TF greater than 1 for Mn and Zn, and TF was greater than 1 for Cu and Fe; Lycopersicon esculentum had only the TF for Fe, Pb, Mn, and Zn greater than 1. This results implies that Solanum melongena and Rumex acetosa plants can be effectively used for phytoremediation of Cd, Pb, Mn, and Zn from the dumpsite. Pearson's correlation coefficient values were greater than 0.75 for all the metals studied which indicated that the high metal level in the experimental soil was a result of the metal-scrap.
Heavy metals constitute a group of metals and metalloids with atomic density greater than 4 g/cm3 or 5 times or more greater than water [1]. The toxicity of heavy metals is a problem of increasing significance for ecological, nutritional, and environmental reasons.
It is evident that, among others, manufacturing activities involving the disposal of metal containing materials into the biosphere may soon trigger a silent epidemic of environmental metal poisoning [2]. Toxic metals cannot be biodegraded. They have long half-life in the environment and biological system; hence, they pose an environmental problem [3, 4].
Despite the best attempts at waste avoidance, reduction, reuse, and recovery, landfill and disposal of metal still constitute a principal focus by environmental scientist. It has been observed that the larger the urban area, the lower the quality of the environment. So solid waste disposal and management have reached a critical stage in major towns and cities of Nigeria [5].
Environmental restoration of metal-polluted soils using a plant-based technology has attracted increasing interest in the last two decades. Phytoremediation has been developed as a cost effective and environmentally friendly remediation method of contaminated soils. It is an economically attractive approach to decontaminate soils polluted by heavy metals. Because of its relatively low costs, phytoremediation poses a viable approach to cleaning up soils [6–10]. The use of plants to extract and translocate metals to their harvestable parts (phytoextraction) is aimed at reducing the concentration of metals in contaminated soils to regulatory levels within a reasonable time frame [11]. Some plant species have developed tolerance towards metals and others (hyperaccumulators) are characterised by their ability to accumulate high quantities of metals in their tissues [12]. Hyperaccumulators are plants that achieve a plant-to-soil metal-concentration ratio (bioaccumulation factor) and shoot-to-root metal-concentration ratio (transfer factor) greater than one. The accumulation of these metals may vary from plant to plant and soil to soil. The metal availability to plants depends on total concentration of metals in the soil and the forms in which they occur, pH, organic carbon, cation-exchange capacity, stage of growth of plants, and microorganisms around the root zone [13, 14]. If these factors are constant, the uptake of a metal by different plant species may be compared.
Gaskiya metal dumpsite occupies an estimated capacity of 20 m × 6 m, and several crops such as Lycopersicon esculentum (tomatoes), Rumex acetosa (sorrel), and Solanum melongena (garden egg) are grown on the soil near the dumpsite.
The dumping of metal scraps at Gaskiya in Zaria, Nigeria (11°07′ 51′′ N; 7°43′ 43′′ E), implies that there might be more or less pollution of the soil.
The aim of this study is to compare the uptake of some metals by Lycopersicon esculentum (tomatoes), Rumex acetosa (sorrel), and Solanum melongena (garden egg) grown on the soil near a metal-scrap dumpsite in order to determine the bioaccumulation factor (BF) and transfer factor (TF), hence, the plants phytoremediation potentials.
2.1. Sample Collection
Whole plant sample of Lycopersicon esculentum (tomato), Rumex acetosa (sorrel), and Solanum melongena (garden egg) was collected 50 m from Gaskiya metal-scrap dumpsite, while soil samples (150 g) were collected from the surface to a depth of 15 cm around each plant root zone, using hand trowel, and then mixed together. Background soil (150 g) and plant samples were also obtained as control from a farmland that is at a distance of 5 km away from the dumpsite. The collection was done by dividing the experimental and control sites each into four quadrants; five plant samples or soil samples were collected from each quadrant in a diagonal basis following the methods of Nuonom et al. [15].
2.2. Sample Treatment
The collected soil samples were air-dried at room temperature for 3 days, while the shoots and roots of the plants were washed, separated, and air-dried. The soils were ground and sieved (500 μm sieve), dried in an oven at 65 ± 1°C for 16 hrs and then kept in clean polythene bags for further analysis.
One gramme of each of the soil and plant samples was digested separately with 10 cm3 of aqua regia (a mixture of 3 parts concentrated HCl to 1 part concentrated HNO3) on a hot plate in a fume cupboard, until a clear solution was obtained. Distilled water was added periodically to avoid drying up of the digest. To the hot solution, 30 cm3 of distilled water was then added and filtered through a Whatman number 41 filter paper into a 50 cm3 standard volumetric flask and the solution made up to the mark with distilled water [16].
Cadmium, copper, iron, lead, manganese, and zinc were analysed in the plant and soil samples using a UNICAM 969 atomic absorption spectrometer [16], with the analyses being done in triplicate.
Pearson' correlation coefficient was calculated between metal levels in soil and plant samples for individual metals using the following formula: where and were the two variables, plant samples and soil sample, respectively, while n is for the pairs of observed values of the these variables [16].
The bioaccumulation factor (BF) and the transfer factor (TF) were calculated to determine the degree of metal accumulation in the plants grown at the farm site close to the metal-scrap dumpsite [17]. Consider
3.1. Metal Contents in Different Parts of the Plants
In Solanum melongena plant (Figure 1(a)), there was generally an increase in the level of the metals in the shoot compared to the root (except Zn). The total metals in the soil follow the ranking Fe > Zn > Pb > Mn > Cu > Cd. The uptake of Cd in roots is via a system involved in the transport of another essential divalent micronutrient possibly Zn2+. Cadmium is a chemical analogue of Zn and plants may not be able to differentiate between the two ions [18]. The bioaccumulation factor (BF) and the transfer factor (TF) for the heavy metal build-up in the plant tissues (Figure 1(b)) indicted that the BF and TF for Cd (2.33, 1.16), Pb (1.32, 1.93), and Mn (1.04, 2.00), respectively, were found to be greater than 1. The BF for Cu (0.42) and Fe (0.08) were found to be less than 1, but the TF 1.98 for Cu and 1.61 for Fe, respectively, were greater than 1. The BF and TF of Zn were both less than 1 (0.62, 0.96). This indicates that the plant roots are able to solubilize and take up the metals from very low levels in the soil, even from nearly insoluble precipitates. The TF is an essential indicator that allows the assessment of mobility of heavy metals in plants [19]. This result implicates Solanum melongena plant as a bioaccumulator of Fe, Zn, and Pb and indicates that it can function as hyperaccumulator for Cd, Cu, Fe, Pb, and Mn [20]. These findings agreed with study carried out by Mukut and Arundhuti [21], Stefan and Todor [22], and Bulent and Kubilay [23].

In Rumex acetosa plant, from the experimental site (Figure 2(a)), it was observed that the concentrations of Cu (35.65 mg/kg), Fe (2008 mg/kg), Mn (52.90 mg/kg), and Zn (120.83 mg/kg) were higher in the shoot than in the experimental root (28.90 mg/kg, 1916.50 mg/kg, 33.60 mg/kg, and 59.95 mg/kg, resp.). The metals were translocated from the root to the above plant tissue [24, 25]. In Figure 2(b), the BF and TF for only Mn (1.41, 1.57) and Zn (2.02, 1.15), respectively, were greater than 1, which indicates that Rumex acetosa plant can function as hyperaccumulator for Zn and Mn.

For Lycopersicon esculentum the concentrations of Cd (0.28 μg/g) and Cu (66.00 μg/g) in the experimental shoot were lower than those in their root (0.30 μg/g and 68.95 μg/g, resp.), but those of Pb (82.38 μg/g), Fe (1474.50 μg/g), Mn (19.38 μg/g), and Zn (175.90 μg/g) were higher than in the root (62.30 μg/g, 502.50 μg/g, 18.15 μg/g, and 117.80 μg/g, resp.). The BF for all the metals studied were less than 1, which implies that Lycopersicon esculentum plant is not a bioaccumulator of Cd, Cu, Fe, Pb, Mn, and Zn [21].
It was observed that the BF and TF for Cd in Rumex acetosa plant were 0.23 and 0.51 as depicted in Figure 2(b) and for Lycopersicon esculentum plant the values were 0.56 and 0.93 as shown in Figure 3(b) and were all less than 1. This means that these plants are not good bioaccumulators of Cd.

The levels of these heavy metals in the plant and soil samples were generally higher than those of the control counterparts and also above the limits set by the Joint Food and Agricultural Organisation and World Health Organization [26]. The recommended limits are as follows: Cd—0.1 mg/kg; Cu—10 mg/kg; Fe—0.3 mg/kg; Pb—0.05 mg/kg; Mn—0.3 mg/kg; and Zn—5–15 mg/kg. The coefficient of correlation values between the metal levels in soil and plant from Pearson's correlation coefficient is presented in Table 1. A strong positive correlation for all the metals studied, Cd (), Cu (), Fe (), Pb (), Mn (), and Zn (), was observed. This indicated that this metal level in the soil is the major factor governing the heavy metal contents in the plants studied.

Pearson's correlation coefficient () values for metal level between soil and plant.
The soils and plants near the scrap metal dumpsite were found to be enriched with Cd, Cu, Fe, Pb, Mn, and Zn. So, the planting on the land close to the metal-scrap dumpsite at Gaskiya, Zaria, should be discouraged. The environmental agency should enforce the law prohibiting the use of metal-scrap dumpsites for farming activities. Solanum melongena showed BF and TF greater than 1 for Cd (2.33, 1.16), Cu (1.61, 1.98), Pb (1.32, 1.93), and Mn (1.04, 2.0); Rumex acetosa on the other hand had BF and TF greater than 1 for Mn (1.41, 1.57) and Zn (2.02, 1.15), and TF was greater than 1 for Cu (1.23) and Fe (1.05); Lycopersicon esculentum plant had only the TF for Fe (2.93), Pb (1.32), Mn (1.07), and Zn (1.47) being greater than 1. Therefore, Solanum melongena and Rumex acetosa plants can be used as hyperaccumulators for phytoremediation of Cd, Cu, Pb, Mn, and Zn.
