A study on reproductive specialization of many lined Sun Skink (Mabuya multifasciata)
Dutta Uma1,*, Medhi Nabanita2

*Corresponding author: firstname.lastname@example.com
Online published on 5 April, 2012.
The scincid lizard Mabuya multifasciata contributes its part to the biodiversity of North-Eastern region of India. However, its distribution, diversity and reproductive behaviour is least reported in this part of country. Studies on reproductive pattern is fundamental point for the conservation of the species, population studies and also for the balance of entire ecosystem. Therefore, the present study has been designed with an objective to evaluate the specificity of female reproductive organs in Mabuya multifasciata, ifany, by assessment of histological architecture of reproductive organs and embryonic nutritional pattern during breeding period. The study was carried out during March-May of a year. Following routine technique the histological structure of the ovary and the oviduct had been attempted. Ovarian histology reflected various stages of follicular development. Ovary of gravid female showed vitellogenic follicle. Villi like infoldings were found to be projected into oviduct lumen, which may probably helpful in propelling the egg through oviduct. Histology of uterine oviduct in gravid female showed placental structure, which may lead to placentotrophy. The presence of yolk sac with direct connection to the developing embryos has established the occurrence of lecithotrophy. Therefore, M. multifasciata can be stated as a lecitho cum placentotrophic viviparous species, or an intermediate species, which may represents a link between both oviparous and viviparous form.
Mabuya multifasciata, Ovary, Lecithotrophy, Placentotrophy.

Spring is finally here! Now is the time to start getting things around your home cleaned up and ready for the new season. Listed below are a few ways to do just that:
1. Start at the Top
Begin by cleaning cobwebs and dust from the corners, ceiling and ceiling fan of each room. While the ladder is out, pull any removable glass light fixtures down and wash them by running them through the dishwasher.
2. Go Around the Walls
Look around for any scratch or scuff marks on the walls and touch them up with matching paint. Vacuum around the baseboards. Use the vacuum attachment to go over all upholstery. Dust all shelves and knick-knacks and clean picture frames, pictures and mirrors with glass cleaner.
3. Enjoy the View
Pull down all blinds and curtains. Wash blinds in the bathtub and lay them on a towel to dry. Clean windows and ledges and run the curtains through the dryer on the low-cool setting to remove any dust. If needed, use a cool iron to press any wrinkles out before re-hanging them.
4. Next Stop…the Kitchen
Clean out the refrigerator, throwing away all food items that have past the expiration date. Scrub away food residue from the oven and microwave. Wipe down and organize all cabinets and drawers.
6. Beds and Closets
Flip or rotate all mattresses and wash all pillows to clean and to cut down on dust mites and allergens. Clean out closets. Donate any old clothes, shoes, or any other items that are no longer needed.
7. Showers and Drains
Change out or clean all shower curtains. Scrub away mildew and mold that has build up on the tiles or sides of the shower or tub. Pour a half-cup of baking soda and one cup of vinegar into all drains and then run hot water afterward for about ten minutes. This should clean the drains and clear out any buildup.
8. Clean Up Your Act
Dust can get clogged in the ducts and vent of your dryer and become a fire hazard. Thoroughly clean the lint trap and pull both the dryer and washer from the wall and use your vacuum's attachment to clean in and around the openings of both appliances.
9. Keep Your Cool
To keep your air conditioner running smoothly throughout the spring and summer months, change out your air filter and consider having someone to clean out all dust and debris from the ductwork.
10. Take Care of Yourself (and Your Family)
Now is a great time to change out the batteries in all of your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
With a little hard work, your home should soon be looking (and smelling) great. Then all you will have left to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy the wonderful spring season.

About your EFP Loan
About Your Education Finance Partners Private Student Loan(s)
Loan Originator
Education Finance Partners (EFP) originated all loans in the EFP Private Student Loan Portfolios. Private Student Loans were originated between 2004 and 2008, when EFP ceased operations.
Loan Holders
Most loans originated by Education Finance Partners are owned by EFP Warehouse Funding 3 LLC, or by Education Funding 2006-1 LLC. Some loans originated by EFP are owned by UBS.
Master Servicer
Loan pools, such as those originated by Education Finance Partners, require services to be performed on behalf of both borrowers and loan holders. Borrower services include maintenance of borrower and loan records; preparation and distribution of billing notices; payment (and other transaction types) processing; and handling of borrower inquiries and service requests. Loan holder services include maintenance of borrower and loan records, performance management of the loan pool; investor reporting, and other administrative functions. Loan Science, LLC. has been selected by EFP Warehouse Funding 3 LLC and by Education Funding 2006-1 LLC to be Master Servicer for the EFP originated loans they hold.
Loan Science employs ACS Education Services (ACS) to provide the majority of borrower services for EFP private student loans. ACS is responsible for maintaining borrower records; preparing and mailing billing and other borrower notice types; receives and responds to most borrower inquiries and requests; and processes financial transactions. Questions or concerns about your EFP private student loan should be addressed to ACS at 800-508-0806; or by using the borrower portal at https://www.acs-education.com/CS/Jsp/general/home.jsp.
Loan Types
Education Finance Partners (EFP) originated two types of private student loans: Private Student Loans and Private Consolidation Loans:
Private Student Loans
All Private Student Loans (PSL) are variable rate installment loans indexed to the three month LIBOR. Repayment options, selected by borrowers at loan origination, were full deferment while in school or immediate repayment. All loans go into repayment the earlier of (1) six months after graduation or when the student otherwise ceases to be enrolled, or (2) 5 years after the final disbursement date. The term for PSL loans is 20 years. The minimum installment payment amount on PSL loans is $50 monthly.
Private Consolidation Loans
Private Consolidation Loans (PCL) provided consolidated payment alternatives for students that graduated, or their families, on the private student loan debt accumulated while in school. The term for PCL loans is 30 years. Repayment options, selected by borrowers at loan origination, are immediate repayment of standard principal and interest, or interest-only for a period up to three years. An option at loan origination was also offered to defer payments for a period of up to three years while borrowers are in graduate school or pursuing a professional program.
PCL loans were originated with either a fixed or variable interest rate. Variable rates are indexed to the three month LIBOR. The minimum installment payment amount on PCL loans is $50.00 monthly.
Borrower Types
Education Finance Partners originated loans for Sole Borrowers and for Borrowers with Co-Signers (co-borrowers):
Sole Borrowers
Sole borrower loans were made to qualifying individuals. Sole borrowers bear individual legal responsibility for repayment of the loan amount, accrued interest, and applicable fees and charges as specified in the Promissory Note.
Co-Signed Loans
Co-Signed Loans have two individuals on the loan. Both parties to the loan are legally responsible for repayment of the loan amount, accrued interest, and applicable fees and charges as specified in the Promissory Note.

Everclear is illegal in some States.
I tried Absinthe once, and kept trying it...I don't think I've ever been as sick from alcohol as I was from that stuff. To this day I can't even imagine licorice without my stomach turning . The only time I've ever had Everclear was with jello shots; couldn't even taste the alcohol...which wasn't necessarily a good thing!
"A coward believes he will ever live if he keep him safe from strife, but old age leaves him not long in peace, though spears may spare his life." -Odin, Hávamál 16
I keep a bottle of Everclear in my office for...ah...demonstration purposes. (Really.) It's helpful when I discuss alcohols in my organic chem classes.
But Brak, what's the deal with the pathetic 151-proof bottle you're showing? Mine's 190.
Oh I have some great memories of Everclear back in my college days. I always hung out with this one fraternity, and one party was very insane, before anyone came through the front door you had to take a shot of Everclear. My buddy and I were the ones passing it out, all I have to say is that party was one of the best i have ever experienced... i have some pics from this somewhere i will see if i can find them and scan a few in
On a side note Zodiac, one of my favorite shots back in the day was called a "Rocky Mountain Bear F**ker" it was Jack Danials, Tequilla, and Southern Comfort.
Sadly I used to drink Everclear straight out of the bottle quite a bit before I had kids.....my husband worked nights and I was bored. I never got a stomach ache or passed out...I just stayed up all night painting crooked butterflies and fairys. It just kind of scares me now, especially after my husband lit some on fire to show me how it burned.
I remember trying that back in my college days... Then I tried these two and thought... That makes that 75% taste like water... I think it ate my uvula and epiglottis because I couldn't talk or breath after drinking...
Meet hell in bottles... Everclear 191 Proof or 95% ABV and even worst taste wise Spirytus (polish spirit) 192 Proof or 96% ABV.
"One part fact, one part fiction, but 100% BULL!"

A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor
Post to the Host
Host Garrison Keillor answers your questions about life, love, writing, authors, and of course, A Prairie Home Companion.
Famous Writers
February 7, 2003 |
Dear Mr. Keillor:
What do you say to other famous writers when you meet them? Do you discuss publishing statistics or point out that the last novel had a weak ending? Perhaps just general topics? Are others jealous of your commercial success and the fact that you sing so well?
Ruth Morss
Boston, MA
Ruth, my contacts with the great and famous are few indeed, but inevitably pleasant. You just have to get over the fear that the big cheese might turn to you and ask you to discuss his work. In fact, large cheeses don't care if you've read their work: they just want people to stop genuflecting and mumbling and start being themselves. I met Garry Wills, one of America's most prolific scholars, and he and I talked about politics, and when I met Norman Mailer, I simply listened to him talk about what he'd done that day (he'd portrayed Hemingway in a play). George Plimpton is an elegant raconteur, and Calvin Trillin is as affable as they come, especially if you inquire about his granddaughter Isabel the Wonder Tot. Arthur Schlesinger and I talked about the Democratic Farmer Labor party of Minnesota, and Russell Baker talked about his children and I wrote a limerick for his wife Mimi that rhymed her with "dreamy" and "sashimi". Dave Barry had not yet written a novel when I met him, so I couldn't harp on his ending, which I'm sure is weak. We'd never discuss sales or other statistics, of course. Much too well-bred. Other writers are envious of my singing, of course, and also of my limpid prose style. My commercial success, however, was a long time ago and didn't last long.

YOUNG Martha Askew got a shock when she least expected it at school.
The primary school pupil won a Christmas card competition held by Jeremy Browne... and the MP dropped by to announce the six-year-old as the winner.
Jeremy said: "It was lovely to surprise Martha. I went to tell her she was the winner and gave her a prize."
Martha's winning design was of a brightly-coloured Christmas tree which stood out due to its colourful and festive fun design.
She beat off competition from children aged four to 11 at schools across the area and her design will now be made into a card and sent out to dignitaries and other MP's.
Jeremy added: "Martha's design will be well known by the end of the Christmas period."

She slowly started to undress slowly so we could drink in her youthful beauty. She unhooked her bra and let her perky breasts out. They were a nice healthy size without being huge and the tanlines shows this overweight babe spends time at the beach. Next she lifted her skirt and revealed her fat shapely legs. Plump round calves and soft creamy thighs led up to her chubby teen pussy. Once she got totally naked she spread those legs wide and treated us to a full on pussy show.
There are plenty more photos of this teen BBW as well as loads more overweight girls at Young Fatties. Become a member and get access to over 40,000 pics as well as videos.
