The present investigation was aimed to study the distribution, enrichment and accumulation of heavy metals in soil and Vigna mungo (Black gram, var. Pant U-30) after irrigation with distillery wastewater. A field experiment was conducted in the experimental garden of Gurukula Kangri University, Haridwar during the year 2012 and 2013. Treatments of distillery wastewater viz. 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% was used for irrigation of V. mungo along with bore well water (control). The results revealed that distillery wastewater showed significant (P < 0.05/ P < 0.01) effect on the soil characteristics viz., EC, pH, Cl-, OC, Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Fe2+, TKN, PO43-, SO42-, Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn and Zn of the soil. The soil characteristics were recorded to be positively correlated with different concentration of distillery wastewater. The agronomical characteristics viz., shoot length, root length, number of flowers, pods, dry weight, chlorophyll content, leaf area index (LAI), crop yield and harvest index (HI) of V. mungo were recorded maximum with 40% concentration of distillery wastewater. The biochemical components viz., crude proteins, crude fiber and crude carbohydrates were noted maximum with 40% concentration of distillery wastewater. The enrichment factor of heavy metals was in the order of Cd>Cr>Zn>Cu>Mn for soil and Cu>Mn>Zn>Cr>Cd for V. mungo after irrigation with distillery wastewater. The accumulation of various heavy metals in different parts of V. mungo were in order of leaves>shoot>root> fruits for Cu, Mn and Zn, root>shoot>leaves>fruit for Cd and Cr after distillery wastewater irrigation. Therefore, the distillery wastewater with appropriate dilution can be used as a bio-fertigant for the V. mungo.
The disposal of wastewater is a major problem faced by distilleries due to generation of high volume of wastewater and with limited space for land based treatment and disposal[1-3]. On the other hand, wastewater is also a resource that can be applied for productive uses since wastewater contains nutrients that have the potential for cultivation of agricultural crops[4-6]. Irrigation with wastewaters is known to contribute significantly to the heavy metals content of soil as well as crop plants[7,8]. Excessive accumulation of heavy metals in agricultural soils through wastewater irrigation may not only result in soil contamination, but also affect food quality and safety[9-11]. India has nearly 330 distilleries producing about 3,500 million liter alcohol. They generate a huge amount of waste water (spent wash) with high chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD)[13,14].
Black gram (Vigna mungo or Phaseolus mungo) is one of the most important pulse crops for human consumption in India and Middle East. It is used green or dried, fresh or canned, and for stock feed. The roasted seed of black gram are eaten like peanuts. It is rich in protein, vitamins, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, iron and fibers. It is largely used to make dal from the whole or split, de husked seeds. The bean is boiled and eaten whole or, after splitting, made into dal prepared like this it has an unusual mucilaginous texture. It is also extensively used in South Indian culinary preparations such as idli-dosa batter, idli-rice, vada and paapad. The utilization of industrial waste as soil amendment and irrigation of agricultural crops has generated interest in recent times. Recently various studies have been conducted on the characteristics of industrial wastewaters and their effects on soil properties and agricultural crops[18-21]. But much attention has not been paid so far on the use of distillery wastewater on agronomical practices of black gram (V. mungo). Keeping in view the problem of wastewater disposal, scarcity of irrigation water and reuse of wastewater, their effect on soil quality, accumulation of heavy metals and economic importance of V. mungo, the present investigation was undertaken to study the enrichment and accumulation of heavy metals in soil and Vigna mungo L. (Black gram) after irrigation with distillery wastewater.
A field study was conducted in the Experimental Garden of the Department of Zoology and Environmental Sciences, Faculty of Life Sciences, Gurukula Kangri University Haridwar, India (29o55'10.81'' N and 78o96 07'08.12'' E), during the year 2012 and 2013. Six plots (each plot had an area of 9 m²) were selected for six treatments of distillery wastewater viz. 0% (control), 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% for the cultivation of V. mungo. The experiment was conducted under completely randomized designed and replicated by three times.
Shamli Distillery and Chemical Works, Shamli (Uttar Pradesh) was selected for the collection of wastewater samples. The treated wastewaters were collected from outlet of the wastewater treatment plant situated in the campus of the distillery. The wastewater brought to the laboratory and was analyzed for various physico-chemical and microbiological parameters viz., TDS, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), dissolved oxygen (DO), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), chlorides (Cl-), sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), calcium(Ca2+), magnesium (Mg2+), total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), phosphate (PO43-), iron (Fe), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), standard plate count (SPC) and most probable number (MPN) following standard methods and further used for irrigation of V. mungo.
The seeds of Vigna mungo (var. Pant U-30) were procured from Indian Council of Agriculture Research (ICAR), Pusa, New Delhi and sterilized with 0.01% mercuric chloride and was soaked for 12 hours. Seeds were sown in 10 rows with a distance of 30.0cm between rows, while distance between the seeds was 15cm. The thinning was done manually after 15 days of germination to maintain the desired plant spacing and to avoid competition between plants. Plants in each plot were fertigated twice in a month with 50 gallons of distillery wastewater with 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% treatments along with bore well water as the control. The soil was analyzed before sowing and after harvesting of crop for various physico-chemical parameters viz. bulk density (BD), water holding capacity (WHC), soil texture, EC, pH , Cl-, OC, Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Fe2+, TKN, PO43-, SO42-, Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn and Zn following standard methods.
For heavy metal extraction 10ml sample of distillery wastewater and 1.0g of air dried soil or plants were taken in digestion tubes separately. In each sample 3ml of concentrate HNO3 was added and digested in an electrically heated block for 1hour at 145oC. To this mixture 4ml of HClO4 was added and heated to 240oC for 1hour. The mixture was cooled and filtered through Whatman # 42 filter paper and aliquot was made to 50ml with double distilled water and used for analysis. Heavy metals were analyzed using an atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS) following methods of Chaturvedi and Sankar. The enrichment factor for heavy metals accumulated in distillery wastewater irrigated soil and V. mungo was calculated following Kumar and Chopra.
Data were subjected to two-way ANOVA by using SPSS (ver. 12.0, SPSS Inc., Chicago, Ill.). Duncan's multiple range test was also performed to determine the difference was significant or non significant. Mean standard deviation and coefficient of correlation (r-value) of soil and crop parameters with wastewater concentrations were calculated with MS Excel (ver. 2003, Microsoft Redmond Campus, Redmond, WA) and graphs were plotted with Sigma plot (ver. 12.3, Systat Software, Inc., Chicago, IL).
The characteristics of distillery wastewater at various concentrations are shown in table 1. The effluent was acidic in nature. The low pH of distillery wastewater might be due to the presence of higher concentration of organic acids such as CH3COOH[24,25]. The wastewater was rich in Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Fe2+, TKN, NO32-, PO43- and SO42- and were found beyond the prescribed limit of Indian irrigation standards. The higher values BOD, COD, TKN and PO43- might be due to the presence of high oxidizable organic matter and rapid consumption of dissolved inorganic materials[27-29]. The values of Na+, K+, Mg2+ and SO42- were also found higher in wastewater, which is associated with higher EC of the distillery wastewater[30,31]. The concentration of heavy metals viz. Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn and Zn were also found higher in distillery wastewater than the permissible limit given by bureau of Indian standard (Table 1). Total bacterial count and most probable number showed higher load of microbial species in distillery wastewater and it likely due to higher organic load of distillery wastewater.
Table 1: Physico-chemical, heavy metals and microbiological characteristics of distillery wastewater.

The soil characteristics after irrigation of V. mungo with different concentrations of distillery wastewater are presented in (Table 2). All the concentrations of distillery wastewater showed significant increase in the OC, Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Fe2+, TKN, PO43-, SO42-, Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn and Zn of the soil. It might be attributed to higher organic load of distillery wastewater[33-37]. Similarly, earlier studies of soil irrigated with distillery wastewater also showed an increase for these parameters as reported by Kumar and Chopra. The findings were in accordance with Pandey et al.
The higher values of EC of distillery wastewater irrigated soil indicated enrichment of soluble cations and anions such as Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Fe2+, TKN, PO43-, and SO42- through the use of wastewater in different concentrations. In the present study, there was a maximum increase in the EC (3.78dSm-1) of soil as the concentration of distillery effluent increased up to 100%. This might be due to increase in concentration of potassium salts which are mainly responsible for increasing the EC of the distillery wastewater as also reported by Chandra et al.
Table 2: Change in physico-chemical characteristics of soil before and after irrigation of V. mungo with distillery wastewater.
The ANOVA showed that 20% to 100% concentrations of distillery wastewater showed significant (P < 0.05/P < 0.01) changes in OC, Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Fe2+, TKN, PO43-, SO42-, Zn, Cd, Cu, Cr and Mn of the soil (Table 2). The coefficient of correlation (r-value) on soil characteristics revealed that EC, pH OC, Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Fe2+, TKN, PO43-, SO42-, Zn, Cd, Cu, Mn and Cr were observed to be positively correlated with all distillery wastewater concentrations (Table 3). Moreover, the enrichment factor indicated the enrichment of heavy metals in the soil and was found in order of Cd>Cr>Zn>Cu>Mn after irrigation with distillery wastewater (Figure1).
Table 3: Coefficient of correlation (r) between distillery wastewater and soil characteristics.
Figure 1: Enrichment factor of heavy metals in soil after irrigation with distillery effluent. Error bars are standard error of the mean.
The maximum seed germination (90.00%) of V. mungo was observed with control while the minimum (78.00%) was noted with 100% concentration of distillery wastewater (Figure 2). The seed germination of V. mungo was found to be negatively correlated (r = -0.97) with distillery wastewater. The maximum relative toxicity (RT) against seed germination of V.mungo was recorded with 100% concentration of distillery wastewater (Figure 3). The RT was observed to be positively correlated (r = +0.95) with different concentrations of distillery wastewater. This type of germination pattern of V. mungo is likely due to the presence of toxicants in higher concentration of wastewater, which may inhibit the germination at higher concentrations. In addition, that the availability, uptake and leaching of nutrients is greatly influenced by a number of physico-chemical factors. Among various physico-chemical factors, the pH plays a significant role in the soil. In the acidic soil environment, the availability of the basic cations like Ca2+, Mg2+, K+ and Na+ becomes lower due to leaching. Thus the availability of these nutrients decreases as per increase in the acidic character of the soil. However, it directly affects the germination and growth of the crop plants[39,40].

At vegetative growth (45days after planting) of V mungo the maximum shoot length, root length, chlorophyll content, LAI and dry weight of V. mungo were noted with 40% concentration of distillery wastewater (Table 4). The distillery wastewater irrigation had significant (P < 0.05) effect on shoot length of V. mungo whereas root length, chlorophyll content, LAI and dry weight of V.mungo were noted non-significantly (P > 0.05) affected after distillery wastewater irrigation. At vegetative growth stage the performance of V. mungo was gradually increased from 20% to 40% concentration of distillery wastewater, and decreased when the wastewater concentrations increased from 60% to 100%. The agronomical parameters at vegetative growth stage showed positive correlation with distillery wastewater concentrations (Table 5). These observations were in agreement with earlier reported results by Albino and Murugan. Kumar and Copra also reported that 25% concentration of distillery wastewater was found to be beneficial for the growth of shoot and root in V. radiate (L.) plants as compared to control, indicating the enhancing influence of plant nutrients present in the wastewater. Bharagava et al also found that post distillery wastewater irrigation increases the chlorophyll and protein contents in Indian mustard plants (Brassica nigra L.) at the lower concentrations (25% and 50%) of distillery wastewater followed by a decrease at higher concentrations (75% and 100%) of distillery wastewater as compared to their respective controls.
Table 4: Effect of distillery wastewater irrigation on agronomical characteristics of V. mungo.
Mean ± SE of six replicates; Significant F -*P > 5% level; ns - non significant; a - significantly different to the control; CD -Critical difference; DAP - Days after planting.
At vegetative growth stage, the growth of V. mungo was decreased at higher concentration of distillery wastewater. The higher EC is the indicator of higher salt content in higher concentrations of distillery wastewater. The higher salt content acts as a limiting factor for the seed germination and vegetative growth. Thus, the higher EC has been found to inhibit for the plant growth. These findings suggest a link between EC and plant growth as has earlier been reported by Kumar and Chopra. The chlorophyll content of V. mungo was observed higher with 40% distillery wastewater and it is likely due to presence of significant content of Fe, Mg and Mn in the distillery wastewater, which is associated with the synthesis of chlorophyll in plants. The deficiency of Fe, Mn and Mg in plants causes significant changes in the plant metabolism, and induces chlorosis and necrosis and early leaf fall[26,41,42].
The number of flowers of V. mungo at flowering stage (60days after planting) were affected non-significantly (P > 0.05) after distillery wastewater irrigation (Table 4). The maximum flowers of V. mungo were observed with 40% concentration of distillery wastewater. The number of flowers of V. mungo was decreased when the wastewater concentration increased from 60% to 100% and it was noted positively correlated with distillery wastewater concentrations (Table 5). Nitrogen and phosphorus are essential for flowering. Too much nitrogen can delay or prevent flowering, while phosphorus deficiency is sometimes associated with poor flower production or flower abortion. The maximum flowering of V. mungo was observed with the 40% concentration of distillery wastewater and this might be due to that 40% concentration contains sufficient N and P. Furthermore, P and K prevent flower abortion so pod formation occurs[21,24,26].
Table 5: Coefficient of correlation (r) between distillery wastewater and agronomical characteristics of V. mungo.
At maturity stage (90 days after planting) the maximum number of pods/plant, crop yield and harvest index of V. mungo was with 40% concentration of distillery wastewater (Table 4). Crop yield and HI of V. mungo were recorded to be significantly (P < 0.05) affected with distillery wastewater irrigation. Number of pods/plant of V. mungo was noted non-significantly (P > 0.05) different with wastewater irrigation. HI of V. mungo was significantly positively correlated with distillery wastewater irrigation (Table 5).
The role of K, Fe, Mg and Mn at maturity is important and associated with synthesis of chlorophyll and enhances formation of pods at harvest. The K, Fe, Mg and Mn contents could benefit pod formation and yield of the plant as it does for soybean (Glycine max L.) as reported by Hati et al. The 40% distillery wastewater favoured pod formation and crop yield of V. mungo. This is likely due to the presence of K, Fe, Mg and Mn contents in 20% and 40% distillery wastewater; higher distillery wastewater concentrations lowered pod formation and crop yield of V. mungo.
The metals content in various plant parts of V. mungo were increased as per distillery wastewater concentration increased. The accumulation of various heavy metals in different parts of V. mungo was in order of leaves>shoot>root> fruits for Cu, Mn and Zn, root>shoot>leaves>fruit for Cd and Cr in V. mungo after distillery wastewater irrigation (Figures 4-8). The enrichment factor was recorded in the order of Cu>Zn>Mn>Cr>Cd in V. mungo after irrigation with distillery wastewater (Figure 9). Chandra et al. reported the higher content of metals (Cu, Cd, Cr, Zn, Fe, Ni, Mn, and Pb) in wheat and mustard plants irrigated with mixed distillery and tannery wastewaters.

This study concluded that distillery wastewater irrigation significantly (P < 0.01) increased the EC, pH, Cl-, OC, Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Fe2+, TKN, PO43-, SO42-, Cd, Cr, Cu, Mn and Zn of the soil. The agronomical performance of V. mungo was gradually increased at lower concentration i.e. from 20% to 40% concentration of distillery wastewater and decreased at higher concentrations i.e. 60% to 100% concentration of distillery wastewater. It is likely due to that there are certain growth stimulants and inhabitants are present in distillery wastewater which is responsible for this type of growth performance. The maximum agronomical growth of V. mungo was observed with 40% concentration of distillery wastewater. The enrichment factor of heavy metals was in the order of Cd>Cr>Zn>Cu>Mn for soil and Cu>Mn>Zn>Cr>Cd for V. mungo after irrigation with distillery wastewater. The accumulation of various heavy metals was plant part specific and were found in order of leaves>shoot>root> fruits for Cu, Mn and Zn, root>shoot>leaves>fruit for Cd and Cr in V. mungo after distillery wastewater irrigation. Thus, the wastewater can be used after dilution for maximum yield of V. mungo. Further studies are required on changes in soil and biochemical components of V. mungo after distillery wastewater irrigation.

The 'No Plastic Bag Everyday' Initiative will be fully implemented starting on the 31st of December. According to the Department of Environment, Parks and Recreation (JASTRe), the addition of Monday in the initiative will make it a week without the use of plastic carrier bags in participating stores and shops nationwide. The addition is part of the government's effort in realizing the 'No Plastic Bag Every Day' by the 1st of January 2019.
The slogan 'It Takes a Nation to End Plastic Pollution' emphasised on the importance of an integrated effort towards combating plastic pollution in the country. The success in realizing the desire to make Brunei Darussalam free from plastic pollution is entirely dependent on the actions of all parties, because if there is no consciousness among the people about the pollution from plastic bags, all the plans that the government implements will not be a complete success. The initiative also aims to raise the awareness on the concept of re-use, recycle and reduce the use of plastic, apart from reducing the total plastic waste in the country. At the same time, it also encourages the use of recycle bags that are more environmentally friendly, apart from instilling green practices.

Review: Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs 3D
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs 3D/ dir. Carlos Saldanha/ 2009
I enjoyed the original Ice Age. The story of a rag tag group trying to reunite a baby with his human parents during the Ice Age was at the very least, entertaining. Plus in 2002, CG animated films were just starting to trickle in, so there was still a little novelty in the CG animated movie. The sequel, Ice Age 2: The Meltdown, yeah I watched it, but to be completely honest, I can not recall what the plot of that movie was. All I remember was that Queen Latifah played the female wooly mammoth. So that pretty much explains my experiences with the Ice Age franchise. So when I decided to make Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs 3D (Ice Age 3) my early Sunday morning movie, I really had no expectations. I did hear some comments from animation students and teachers saying that it was "the best of the 3 Ice Age movies," but my response was "eh, we'll see…"
Well, to my pleasant surprise, Ice Age 3 delivered an entertaining movie with some great comedic moments. I still give the nod to the OG Ice Age film, since it was, you know, the ORIGINAL, but Ice Age 3 is a good family/ children's flick that I'm pretty sure the kids will enjoy. Don't get me wrong, Ice Age 3 was mostly family kid-friendly fluff, but it was entertaining family fluff and I'm pretty sure that was the point.
Ice Age 3 focuses on what happens to a group of buddies once one of them starts a family. The Woolly Mammoths, Manny (Ray Ramano) and Ellie (Queen Latifah), are expecting their first born, and Diego the Sabretooth tiger (Denis Leary) and Sid the Sloth (John Leguizamo) are trying to cope with change. Diego decides to go off on his own and become a loner, and Sid has aspirations of being a parent himself. Eventually Sid finds some T-Rex eggs and raises them as his own, that is until mommy comes looking for them. Sid and the baby T-rexes are dragged to a lost world underneath the ice, and Manny, Ellie, and Diego must go and save Sid.
John Leguizamo as Sid steals the first 1/3 of the movie, with his funny attempts at parenthood with the T-rex babies. In fact, John Leguizamo could have been the big comedic stand out through the film, as eventually, he and the mommy t-rex act like a bickering, yet loving, married couple for the rest of the film. However, Simon Pegg's performance as Buck, the crazy weasel who lives and knows how to survive in the lost world, really steals the show. In fact, the dialogue between all the characters was witty, hilarious, and when it had to be, it was quite touching. Unlike some other animated movies this year, Ice Age 3's comedic timing and jokes mostly hit their mark, and I found myself LOLing in an empty theater.
In terms of animation, and I may be a little biased since many of my fellow students and alumni of Animation Mentor worked on this film, was stunning and beautifully done. Characters moved with a fluidness and crispness that I found refreshing. And the arcs, especially in the sequences with the squirrels, really stood out and made the animation that much more pleasurable to look at. And the 3D, well I think I'm warming up to the idea of 3D more since, for the first time since Coraline, I felt the 3D added to the immersiveness of this animated world.
So, Ice Age 3 was entertaining, had great visuals and animation, and using my own personal experiences of friends getting married and starting families while I still had my bachelor lifestyle, I could totally relate what Diego and Sid were going through. The only problem with Ice Age 3 (which was also a problem that plagued the first two Ice Age films) was that it was missing substance. Meaning it was entertaining, but it was just family, kid friendly fluff. Yeah, there were some touching moments here and there, but nothing that really made you feel the emotions of the moment. Maybe I'm being too harsh on a good film that is geared toward family and children. In that case, this film is stellar and is a definite must see for families with young children. But since Ice Age 3 was so fun and entertaining, I kind of wanted a Pixar-like deep emotional attachment to complete my experience.
Much like Kung-Fu Panda last year, Ice Age 3 is an enjoyable film with beautiful animation that I highly recommend, but it lacked that certain something to push it to the next level. In fact, I think that Ice Age 3 is this year's Kung- Fu Panda.

Background/Experience that you think is beneficial to Doula work: I was born into a large family (14 children) and since I can remember I've been very fascinated with pregnancy, childbirth and caring for newborns. From the time I was 9-16 years old I was my Mom's right-hand after she delivered her last 4 babies.
What led you to become a Doula?: After having 3 of my own I became even more passionate about helping/supporting other mothers. Also, I had friends and family that would rely on me for help and support in their pregnancy, labor and afterwards. They would always tell me this should become my line of work, which of course led me towards pursuing this passion.
Calming, positive, helpful, and genuine.
What are your favorite pregnancy/parenting resources?: The internet! I enjoy researching info in all areas as the need arises.
What thoughts come to mind when you see a pregnant woman or brand new mom?: She's absolutely gorgeous! Excitement for the new journey in life that she will have.
What is the best gift you can give a new mom (as a Doula)?: Confidence in her ability to Mother the best that she can for her child. Active listening, encouragement and support in making decisions and choices as a new mother. And last but not least, lots of sleep!
Who lives in your house?: My husband of 10 years, our 3 children (Seth, Evelyn, and Judah), our dog Kala, and our cat Poe.

I've been battling on various topics to focus my article on prior to this post and I can say, the sudden dismissal of about 150 plus young people from an International telecommunication company in Ghana caused me to share on the subject above.
It is extremely overwhelming to hear of such news in today 21st century where one-minute, one is gainfully employed and next minute, one have no job and is unemployed.
Today, October 15, 2012, I joined thousand of bloggers in the world to participate in Blog Action Day (an annual worldwide event where bloggers write about a single topic on October 15 or 16th of every year). The theme for this year's is "The Power of We" and I'm sharing on Youth Unemployment in Africa and The Power of We.
Among the world's unemployed, the youth have been particularly hard hit by this global phenomenon. Youth unemployment rates are significantly higher than adult unemployment rates in both developed and developing countries.
In Ghana and most African countries, high youth unemployment is as a result of graduates from both the public and private universities not been prepared for the job market.
Somewhere in July 2012, the BBC World Services posed the question: "Why are so many youths in Africa unemployed?" to its readers. There were several comments but the two comments below caught my attention and they generally speaks for the subject I'm writing on today.
In 2008, the World Bank Report Highlights African Youth Employment Issues in which it states: youth employment is more prevalent in urban areas. Worsening conditions in the rural areas lead to rural-urban migration. This compounds the unemployment challenge in the urban centres.
This is clearly evident in many big cities in Africa including Accra, Lagos, Dakar, Nairobi, Kampala and Johannesburg just to mention a few.
"Finding productive employment for the 200 million African Youthss between the ages of 15 and 24 is surely one of the continent's greatest challenges," said Obiageli Ezekwesili, World Bank Vice President for the Africa Region.
There's a chance we (society) and government should place a higher emphasis on the need to inculcate the spirit of Entrepreneurship in students. This I see very necessary because, before the students graduate from their respective courses, they already have an idea about which sector of the market they'll be exploiting to become business/startup owners rather than start writing application for jobs here and there.
The wind of Entrepreneurship is blowing across the African continent and I urged every young person to jump at the least opportunity that comes his/her way. Mobile is the future for Africa therefore, I urged you all to take leap of faith in starting a business/venture today.
This blog post is Mac-Jordan Degadjor's contribution to Blog Action Day's topic 'Power of We' on 15 October 2012.


I haven't seen any layouts of this one around so thought it would be good to add to the collection. I have done this with a 3 position switch so in one position you'll have silicon diodes, in the other postion you'll have germanium, and in the centre off position it will remove all clipping diodes from the circuit.
i just built this one today and it works well and sounds very good, so you can verify it.
the diode/clipping switch doesn't change much between the silicons and 'none' unless you have the volume cranked. i believe that the original has one 1N34A and one 4148 on one side for asymmetrical clipping on that side. i built the external pregain version and the pot works backwards (CCW is more gain) so i reversed the wire from pregain 3 to pregain 1 and it works properly now. the volume control also works backwards so i did the same thing on the volume pot (i.e. switched volume 3 to volume 1). IMO, you'll get a better taper if you use an audio taper pot.
i like it best when the clipping (diodes) switch has one 1n34/1n4148 and on the other side four 1n34's (each set in series). that way there's a lot less of a volume jump between all three settings.
yeah, i just looked at the original Keeley schematic and he has only two clipping settings ( but i prefer 3). one of his is with no diodes, and the other just grounds the 4148 and 1N34A.
to raise the gain (volume), i replaced 50K volume pot with a 100K audio one and then added a 500K master volume pot on the ouput of mine so that i can crank the volume pot to drive the diodes harder and still have control of the overall output level of the pedal.
BTW, the FuzzHead also sounds really good running on 18V so i built a charge pump for mine so i can select between 9 and 18V. at 18V it has a little more low end, a smoother distortion and a little better dynamics.
Please can u just make a sckach on your basically 4 knob version?
Because I found everything you say true, making this project and I believe that with this mod will sound even better.
Hey mark, you might want to correct the vero. on the DPDT it still says 'Volume 3' and it should have also been changed to 'Volume 1' it might be confusing to someone if they went to build it.
would you mind telling me how you hooked up the charge pump? I found a schematic for one online that has a 9v in, ground, ad 18v out, but how do i wire this into the pedal?
Mark has an excellent 7660S charge pump vero on this site. all you do is run 9V into it and then run the 18V out into where the 9V in on the fuzz head board was.
thx but how would i wire a switch so that i could toggle back and forth between 9 and 18v?
just use a SPDT switch.
so would it look like this?
when i first built it, since i didn't have any AC187's on hand, i tried a NOS AC127 and an NTE 103A (their cross ref for an AC127 or an AC187) and they both worked well, but i preferred NTE's germanium 101 over their 103A. i finally bought and installed an actual NOS AC187 for it and i like the AC187 the best (but to me, it's only slightly better than the NTE 101).
I got a bunch of AC176 Ge NPN trannies. What should I look for in order to get them close to the AC187 specs? lower hfe? any ideas what the difference is between the two?
I buy enclosures that are already powder coated and then use a brother p-touch to label them.
it's called a Fresnel lens and I get them from mouser. the clear ones are part # 593-3000C. they also come in red, blue, green and yellow.
Does the p-touch make white color labels? Like the labels you used on your enclosure, they are white. Does it have a white ink or something?
My comment from few days ago diapered somehow, my computer is not quite well at work so I'll ask you again: Please provide a link for buying germanium transistors for good prices I have trouble finding them. Thank you all!
Don't you just hate it when your posts diaper?
Read this master post on pot tapers et al. http://www.geofex.com/article_folders/potsecrets/potscret.htm See what you can do with that!
Interesting information of course, but I can´t find the answer to my question. A paralleled resistor between cw/ccw lug and wiper changes the type of the taper, e.g. from linear to logarithm. In the layout the gain pot is a simple variable resistor I think, so adding a 1K resistor in series before or after pot doesn`t seem to work because so there is always the minimum resistance of the 1K and so the pot wouldn`t work as it should I think. Maybe the 1K pot does the trick insteed of the 2K pot? Thanks for pushing me in the right direction.
That's ok, I wasn't too sure myself. I usually look to that guide if I can't find the exact pot I want right away. I reckon just try the 1K pot and see how you go. If you put a 1K resistor before hand you would only get a minimum of ~1K which wouldn't be ideal.
Is one strictly for the switch?
Or do both run to ground as usual and the switch runs to a ground off board?


Now and again we feature a region where you'll find villas; this time, it's Mexico's legendary Puerto Vallarta.
The fact that this is one of the busier and more developed islands of the Caribbean would not, at first, recommend it as a hideaway. But if you know where to look, Antigua does harbor its share of idyllic and sybaritic escapes.

At 12:40 p.m. on April 12, 2011, Employee #1 and coworkers were working for a landscape company that had been hired to clear all vegetation from an empty lot in Santa Monica, CA, where a new apartment building was to be built. They were using a Vermeer Model Number 1000 Wood chipper to grind the waste. The jack on the front of the chipper had been stripped that morning, when the employee's hooked it up, and the truck needed to go the landfill. Employee #1 and a coworker attempted to lift the tongue of the chipper and set it on some concrete blocks to hold it, while they switched trucks. As they set the tongue on the blocks, the blocks broke. The tongue fell to the ground and pinched off the tip of Employee #1's left middle finger. An inspector for Santa Monica Building and Safety reported the accident to Cal/OSHA on the same day that it happened.

CurbedWire: Brokers Party Down at Stuy Town, Mill Building Ready For Prime Time
By Scott May 11, 2007, 6:00pm EDT
EAST VILLAGE—It seems Tishman Speyer threw a little rebranding party at Stuy Town and forgot to invite us. Luckily, a tipster filed this report from the scene (captured for posterity above): "Brokers were 'exclusively' invited (limited tickets) to this party, but at arrival had to take a walking tour through the premises, including 3 model apartments, which since we're all brokers we've already seen. 30 minutes later we were shuttled to the East River, where a waterfront party with Reggae band and food awaited. Lobster, crab meat and mango and various other delicacies were offered, as well as an open bar. Go Stuy town." Indeed. [CurbedWire Inbox]
WILLIAMSBURG—The Mill building is ready for action, even if the rooftop cabanas aren't. A tipster writes, "Commence rejoicing hipsters and trustafarians (and commence Williamsburg-bashing everyone else. The Mill Building has managed to get a temporary C. of O.." According to Brownstoner, closings begin in 30 days. [CurbedWire Inbox]
MISCELLANEOUS—The Historic Districts Council held their 8th annual Grassroots Preservation Awards ceremony last night at St. Marks Church In-The-Bowery. Congrats to HDC and all the winners. [CurbedWire Staff]
WEST VILLAGE—Speaking of preservation, the GVSHP sends word that the South Village Historic District is eligible for listing on the State and National Register of Historic Places. Ho, hum, right? Not so, says Andrew Berman, who will try to make you care after the jump.
Says Berman,
[T]he area's historic significance has clearly been affirmed by the State Historic Preservation Office, and the protections regarding state and federal actions and use of funds are now in effect. So, for instance, if NYU wanted to demolish historic buildings and build a new 26-story dorm in the area using State Dormitory Authority funds, they would not be able to do so without it being subjected to a review to determine if it would negatively impact the historic resources in the area.[CurbedWire Inbox]

Okay, so now I've finished "Twilight".
I shall say at the outset that this is a book I am probably not going to read again. After seeing all the vitriol about Stephanie Meyer's writing and not really believing it, I had decided that I really should read it myself. That said, I'm glad I did read it.
I guess the best way to describe Twilight is that it's like a cake that hasn't been mixed properly nor baked long enough. There are numerous nice passages and the whole is still fairly tasty, but there are lumps and raw pieces that don't really work. Meyer has captured the feel of narrating a fairly self-obsessed senior high-school girl who basically falls in love with an extremely dangerous person. I strongly suspect that this is the main reason it has become so successful, especially with high-school girls. It is essentially a forbidden love story, only quite why it is "forbidden" is that he's a vampire.
Meyer should be lauded for trying to come up with a new twist on vampires. This is where the much-lampooned "sparkle" comes from. On the face of it, it seemed like a creative idea. Except that it's painfully obvious that it really only allows Meyer's vampires to be out and about during the day. The problem is that modern literature and mass entertainment is awash with vampires and making them sparkle in the sunlight rather than burn just looks silly. You simply have to come up with a much more innovative take on them if you want to go in a new direction.
Meyer's writing is also fairly easy to read. It doesn't torture prose. Things move fairly slickly and the dialogue is very readable. This is the other reason for the book's success. It is, quite literally, a page-turner.
But there are larger problems in the work. A good writer can describe a setting, bring out characterisation in the players and advance the plot all at the same time. Most of the time, Meyer struggles to do just one of these competantly. So, you find a couple of very annoying chapters in the middle where Bella and Edward are basically doing twenty questions at each other. Or a cadre of supporting characters who are very little more than names and genders. Meyer tries to create some different reactions to Bella for some of them, particularly early on, but she stops there. A particularly bad case is how the vampires ignore and look down on everyone — until Edward takes Bella home to meet his 'family' and then everyone is more than happy to know her and include her in their lives. In fact, this must have even been obvious to Meyer because she has Alice (another vampire) explain to Bella why they're going to such lengths to protect her from James (a predatory vampire from another clan). I didn't find it convincing.
The resolution of the climax also feels a bit deus ex machina. The setup was actually quite good, putting Bella in an inescapable position, in some part from her own idiotic choices. It says a lot about her that I was almost happy at the prospect of her death, but there really weren't enough clues that Edward's family would, in fact, turn up in time to save the day.
All in all, it was more work than I would have liked to read it. There was a great story idea and some elements where well chosen. However, the execution is very ordinary.
Stephanie Meyer has a reputation for execrable writing. I'm sure you know who I mean. People criticise her prose readily. Yet, several of her books have major movies made from them. And the books sell well. Really well.
So they can't be that bad, can they?
That's why I set out to discover for myself.
Contrary to my expectations, the actual writing flows well. It doesn't trip up the reader. There are no horribly complex passages. It is an easy read and it has very good pace. That said, it's not terribly intellectual, either. You would be unlikely to learn new words from Meyer's writing. It is very ordinary, unpretentious writing. This may well be an important contributing factor to Twilight's popularity.
However, now I'm a few chapters in I almost want to smack Bella upside-the-head. But, then, she is, like, 16 or something. I actually know girls that age and they are not hugely different from Bella. It just seems worse because it's in a book. And it's in first-person perspective. So everything is filtered through her world-view.
Maybe the later books (which I'm currently not intending to read) have worse writing.

Mathieu Valbuena (Bruges, 28 september 1984) is een Frans voetballer die bij voorkeur op het middenveld speelt. Hij speelt bij Olympiakos Piraeus. In mei 2010 debuteerde hij tegen Costa Rica in het Frans voetbalelftal, waarna bondscoach Raymond Domenech hem ook meenam naar het wereldkampioenschap voetbal 2010.

Clubcarrière

Valbuena speelde oorspronkelijk voor amateurclub Langon-Castet in de CFA 2, waarna FC Libourne-Saint-Seurin hem naar de derde divisie haalde. Daar speelde hij in twee seizoenen meer dan vijftig wedstrijden en maakte hij tien doelpunten. Hij maakte zodanig veel indruk dat Olympique Marseille hem voorafgaand aan het seizoen 2006/07 naar de Ligue 1 haalde. Valbuena raakte korte tijd na aankomst geblesseerd, waardoor hij de eerste helft van het seizoen miste en de laatste maanden vooral invaller was. Voor het seizoen 2007/08 werd Eric Gerets als coach aangesteld, die een basisspeler in hem zag. Valbuena speelde uiteindelijk acht seizoenen en meer dan 240 competitiewedstrijden voor Marseille. In die tijd werd hij één keer landskampioen met de club, won hij drie keer de Coupe de la Ligue en één keer de Trophée des Champions.

Valbuena tekende in augustus 2014 een driejarig contract bij Dinamo Moskou, dat circa €7.500.000,- voor hem betaalde aan Olympique Marseille. Daarmee werd hij in het volgende seizoen vierde in de Premjer-Liga. Zelf speelde hij in 25 van de dertig competitiewedstrijden dat jaar. Het bleef zijn enige seizoen in Rusland, want Valbuena tekende in augustus 2015 een driejarig contract bij Olympique Lyonnais, een grote rivaal van zijn voormalige club Olympique Marseille. Lyon betaalde circa €5.000.000,- voor hem aan Dinamo Moskou. Zijn eerste wedstrijd namens Lyon tegen Marseille, een maand na zijn transfer naar Lyon, in het Stade Velodrome was daarom ook beladen en zorgde voor flinke consternatie. Valbuena reikte met Olympique Lyon tot de halve finale van de UEFA Europa League en was in zijn twee seizoenen bij de club doorgaans basisspeler. Op 12 augustus 2017 tekende Valbuena voor €4.000.000,- een driejarig contract bij Fenerbahçe SK. Sinds 2019 speelt hij voor het Griekse Olympiakos Piraeus.

Clubstatistieken

Interlandcarrière

Valbuena speelde op het wereldkampioenschap voetbal 2010 de derde interland uit zijn carrière, toen hij in de groepswedstrijd tegen Mexico (0–2 verlies) in de 69e minuut inviel voor Sidney Govou. Valbuena maakte zijn debuut voor de nationale ploeg van Frankrijk op 26 mei 2010 in de vriendschappelijke thuiswedstrijd tegen Costa Rica (2–1) in Lens, waar hij de winnende treffer voor zijn rekening nam. Hij nam met Les Bleus eveneens deel aan het EK voetbal 2012 in Polen en Oekraïne, waar de ploeg van bondscoach Laurent Blanc in de kwartfinales werd uitgeschakeld door titelverdediger Spanje: 2–0. Valbuena kwam dat toernooi echter niet in actie. In mei 2014 nam bondscoach Didier Deschamps op in de selectie voor het wereldkampioenschap voetbal in Brazilië, waar hij een vaste waarde was in het Franse elftal.

Even though Cape Town has pushed back Day Zero, Busani Moyo says there are still many reasons to be concerned about the future.
When the Cape Town Executive Deputy Mayor, Ian Neilson, announced in a media statement that "provided we continue our current water savings efforts, Day Zero can be avoided completely this year", many residents of the city breathed a sigh of relief.
Day Zero refers to the day when the taps in Cape Town run dry.
While the news that Cape Town has managed to push back Day Zero into next year is good, there are a lot of questions that remain unanswered. After all, water restrictions in Cape Town are still challenging – the 50-litre a person limitation is the minimum amount the World Health Organisation considers acceptable to meet basic needs and avoid health concerns over the medium term. While Capetonians have adapted in the short term, long-term effects on infrastructure and public health are still unknown.
How did the situation get here? Could other cities in South Africa face the same predicament? How sustainable is current domestic water use in Cape Town? What can cities learn if they want to avoid similar crises?
Professor Evans Chirwa at the Water Utilisation Division of the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University of Pretoria accepts that the water crises in Cape Town was partly caused by the drought of the last few years. However, he also says that the government and city authorities have known from around 2000 that cities such as Cape Town, and indeed other South African cities, would face this predicament by 2025 unless something was done to increase capacity and decrease wastage.
For a city like Johannesburg, Chirwa says, as much as "52% of all water made available for human use" may be being wasted.
Unfortunately, "a severe drought occurred at the same time as existing infrastructure had reached the limit of its capacity," says Muller.
What's disturbing is that the rest of the country isn't learning from Cape Town's plight, which is unlikely to be a once-off.
While residents in other cities may be complacent and think that the water crisis is a Cape Town problem, the experts believe that no city in South Africa is completely safe.
This turns the problem into one of governance and management as opposed to one emanating from a shortage of water.
Even with water restrictions in place, WWF's Colvin says that the current usage in Cape Town may not be sustainable.
"We are concerned that current levels of groundwater use are unsustainable," Colvin says. "Many borehole users are not metering their groundwater use, and there is inadequate monitoring of ambient groundwater levels to see where levels are falling. Groundwater reserves are built up over hundreds of years.
Chirwa believes that the global popularity of desalination is likely to bring down the costs involved, which are currently very high, and make it more affordable.
However, Chirwa points out that there are other problems with desalination. For a start, it requires a lot of power, which is likely to be generated from fossil fuels. There's also the question of what to do with the salty by-products of the process.
"What do we do with the sludge produced from this method?" Chirwa asks. While cities close to the sea can take it back into the sea, an environmental impact report published ahead of Cape Town's desalination construction last year points out the lack of research into the impact of depositing saline sludge into coastal areas. It recommended regular monitoring over the proposed plants' lifespan.
Inland cities, meanwhile, have even bigger problems. Chirwa gives the desalination plant in Emalahleni, Mpumalanga, which is producing about a quarter of the water used by the town from desalination of water drained from mines, as an example. However, these mines are already facing the challenge of what to do with the by-products of the desalination.

UTI Lisle President
Julie Mueller has more than 22 years of leadership experience and has been Campus President at Universal Technical Institute in Illinois since 2010. Prior to her current role, she served as Regional Director of Student Services from 2006-2010 and as Student Services Director from 1998-2005 at UTI in Illinois.
Under Mueller's leadership, the UTI Illinois campus relocated from Glendale Heights to Lisle in 2013. UTI Lisle won a School of Excellence Award from the Accrediting Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC) in 2014 for an accreditation that took place just a couple weeks after the relocation. UTI Lisle achieved a rare consecutive School of Excellence Award from ACCSC in 2019.
UTI Lisle campus has achieved such flawless marks during the past two accreditation cycles, that the next campus accreditation has been extended an extra year.
In 2014, the Illinois Chamber of Commerce and Illinois Development Council named the relocation of UTI to the Village of Lisle as a recipient of the 2014 Economic Development in Illinois (Edie) Award. The award recognized UTI Lisle as a company for investing in Illinois, providing jobs and bringing economic opportunity to communities.
In 2016, UTI Lisle received the ACCSC's Excellence in Student Services Award, the top campus honor awarded to just one school across the country.
In 2018, Mueller was selected by Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner to attend the State-Federal Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Education Summit hosted by The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) in Washington, D.C.
Since Mueller has been Campus President, UTI Lisle has opened several new programs, including Peterbilt Technician Institute (PTI). Mueller leads the 75 employees at UTI Lisle to provide exceptional student support, while maintaining the highest standard of industry compliance.
Community Outreach & Industry Partnerships
One of the most instrumental ways Mueller has led campus growth at UTI Lisle is by developing strong partnerships with the local workforce. These relationships have led to a grant development program, where UTI Lisle students may be eligible for grants.
Mueller and the UTI Lisle team are part of four chambers of commerce within the Lisle community, including the Lisle Area Chamber of Commerce and the Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce, both of which Mueller has been a member of since 2013. In 2017, Mueller was voted into the Illinois Chamber of Commerce board of directors for an 8-year term. UTI Lisle has also had representation with Chamber630 since 2015.
Mueller is also active in the Business Partnership Council for the Naperville School District. She was selected to be a part of the Steering Committee, which is a select group of Business Partnership Council members chosen because of their active engagement in the council. The Steering Committee helps drive the strategies and action plans of the overall Business Partnership Council.
Mueller also leads partnerships with local high schools to help with college and career pathway initiatives, spreading awareness about trade school education opportunities. UTI Lisle hosts high school shadow and job shadow events to help inspire the next generation of technicians.
Mueller is also a visible spokesperson for UTI Lisle, appearing on local television programs, writing for local publications and participating in education panels.
Mueller says her vision for UTI Lisle is to continue to meet industry demands and feed qualified technicians to the industry, as well as to continue to grow a strong presence in the local market and expand program offerings. Mueller wants UTI Lisle to continue to develop industry partner relationships for both student and industry success, while maintaining its mission of having a positive and engaging campus culture.
Mueller's Philosophy on Trade School Education
Mueller says there are some misconceptions about the value of trade school education, which she and her team at UTI Lisle try to actively dispel. She asserts going to a 4-year college or university is not the only viable path for career success, pointing to outstanding graduation and hiring rates for trade school students.
"Our graduates are in high demand, and the jobs aren't going to be shipped overseas," says Mueller.
A major benefit of trade school education at UTI Lisle, Mueller says, is that all instructors have real-world experience and are Automotive Service Excellence (ASE)-certified in the classes they teach. The majority of instructors at UTI Lisle are master-certified technicians.
In addition to the expert skills UTI Lisle instructors teach, they take a holistic approach in the classroom, focusing on both technical abilities and professionalism. The UTI Lisle team is proactive in providing support for struggling students, with employment services and education teams coming together to problem-solve for the betterment of students.
Outside of UTI
Mueller was born in Berwyn, Illinois, in 1970 and grew up in Westchester, Illinois. She has a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and Sociology from Purdue University and a Master's Degree in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago. Prior to working at UTI, Mueller was a social worker in residential care, including working at Mercy Home for Boys & Girls.
Mueller has been married to her husband for 17 years and has two adult step-children, Kylie and Conlan. She and her husband also have an adorable 11-year-old lab mix named Bogie. Mueller has enjoyed volunteering at dog rescue centers.
When she's not working, Mueller loves exercising, taking yoga and conditioning classes, and running. She and her husband are active and frequently hike and walk outdoors.
Mueller and her husband try a fun new activity every quarter so they're always experiencing something new. Some of the activities they've tried so far include curling, archery, a ropes course in the trees, distillery tours, stand-up paddle board yoga, touring a chocolate making factory, taking healthy Indian cooking classes, going on a cemetery tour, corn mazes, charter fishing, a dinner detective night, mentalist entertainment, BINGO, whale watching, visiting a medium, jazz music at the Shedd Aquarium and extreme trampolining.

More and more publications especially in US use 3d printing technology to create hierarchical tissue constructs. Another example on heart is described in this article. After apparition of fablab, we could see apparition of biolabs in the near future.
Technologies have been rapidly advancing that will enable researchers to fabricate artificial organs. Generally, researchers focus on one technology to create these organs, but now a University of Louisville (UL) research team is bringing many technologies together to create hierarchical tissue constructs that may work better than the originals.

Definition: Birth rate is the demographic measure of the rate at which children are born. The most well known is the crude birth rate, which is the number of births that occur each year per 1,000 people in the midyear population. It is called "crude" because it does not take into account the possible effects of age structure. If a population has an unusually large or small number of women in childbearing age, then the crude birth rate will tend to be relatively high or low regardless of the actual number of children a woman has. For this reason, age adjusted birth rates are preferred for making comparisons, either over time or between populations.
