From the beginning of 2008, Survival Horror elements in video games have been degrading for a while now ( Exception: Slender, Amnesia ,Dead Space Series), either developers such as Capcom is altering them into action packed video games (example: Resident Evil 6) or they aren't even that scary.
When seeing and playing the first Dead Space in 2008, I was so excited,thrilled and scared, the atmosphere was dreadful, and the Necromorphs were always there, lurking in the darkness haunting me, Now that was a true survival horror game and experience, until they decided to make it more action oriented with Dead Space 3 and it was disappointing.
Back to Silent Hill, a series that was heavily influenced by the genre of psychological horror, Silent Hill 2 being the best, the series then went downhill from the beginning of 2005 till now, Only Silent Hill Downpour managed to scare me a few times and am glad Vatra Games went back to the old roots but we need something better than this (Technically very bad, Poor gameplay).
Here are the two games that not only could bring back survival, but Will bring back survival horror:
Outlast, the first-person horror game by ex-Naughty Dog and Ubisoft Montreal creative directors at Red Barrels, has been announced for PlayStation 4.
Previously, it was only set for PC, its going to be released in 2013.
The game follows the exploits of a reporter named Miles Upshar who decides to investigate rumours about experiments in a recently re-opened insane asylum. Unsurprisingly, they're all true and Miles must get to the bottom of things or die trying.
Red Barrels: "Since Outlast is set in an asylum and your enemies are escaped mental patients, we felt it was important to portray our characters and setting in a realistic way, beyond just characters chasing you on a map. From the layout of the asylum to how enemies act, most of the game is based on real world asylums. While we have some unexpected surprises waiting in the shadows, giving players as realistic a setting as possible makes the fear more tangible."
Check out this video, IGN locked up 20 people from IGN to play Outlast , This is not going to end well.
2-The Evil Within
Twenty or so years later, Mikami is back with a new game built around the same survival horror concept, but with a modern approach to terror. The Evil Within leaves the notions of video game survival horror behind in favor of those from more recent Hollywood cinema. Its inspiration isn't from zombies jumping out of vents, but from sadistic murderers, the occult and gut-instinct survival.
Survival is at the center of the game's experience. Though we're sure there will be some shooting, the demo we were shown recently focused on just staying alive, avoiding a hulking brute hellbent on slaughter. There are four "S's" that comprise the terror delivery in Evil Within: Sight, sound, stealth, and speed. It's only via the sum of these aspects that the game seems to capture psychotic terror.
When Detective Sebastian and his partner rush to the scene of a gruesome mass murder, a mysterious, powerful force is lying in wait for them. Witnessing the killing of fellow police officers one after another, Sebastian is then attacked and loses consciousness. Waking up in a land where monsters are wandering about, he has to fight his way through a world of death and his close friend's madness in order to understand what's going on. Sebastian has to face his fears in order to survive on a journey to discover what lies in the shadows of that mysterious force
The Evil Within published by Bethesda and developed by Tango Gameworks is going to be released on all current and next generation platforms in 2014.
Honorable Mentions: Amnesia A Machine For Pigs, Among The Sleep, Asylum and many more.
The titles mentioned above are going to be bring survival horror back but not in a powerful way Outlast and The Evil Within are coming back,we'll that's my opinion, what about yours?

BWW Review: Stunning ZOOT SUIT Revival at Taper Mirrors Present Day Politics
by Don Grigware - Feb 20, 2017
Let's get one thing perfectly clear from the get.go. Luis Valdez's Zoot Suit which premiered at the Mark Taper Forum and on Broadway in 1978, is a milestone. Broadway had not seen anything quite like it up to that point. First of all, it put Mexicans into the mainstream ... and their Pachuco culture, including their music and dance. In form it's a serious play about the Zoot Suit murders of 1942 in Southern California, but it is laced with humor, song and dance, classifying it in both realms of fact and fantasy. Now, after 39 years, in the 50th anniversary year of Center Theatre Group, Zoot Suit returns in an all new revival, once again directed by the brilliant Valdez. It has a fantastic cast, is high on entertainment value...and its issues do indeed mirror those present in today's politically ruthless world. (more...)

Sunday Sots and Shiver Me Timbers
Is it wrong that when I read of several prominent bloggers honorable quests to be free from the evils of liquor, my only thought is that there's more for me:
Fuck it! I'm a lush! Four shots of icy cold Stoli's later, I blame it entirely on marrying a Slav. Who else's family could make drinking 12 shots of vodka a holiday experience, eh?
As an aside, I just asked CG if he was a Slav?
He asked me, "A Slob?"
No, I say enunciating slow-ly, "A Sla-avvv?" You know Slavic? Me Polish husband is a might slow tonight. Arrr!
Sorry for the Pirate-ese. I've been writing birthday Evites in Pirate-ese all day for my two sons' very pirate-y birthdays. I've been writing "avast", "ahoy", and classic phrases as "scraping the barnacles from your rudders." Oohhh, that sounds quite naughty. Mayhaps I should be drinking the rum. Me thinks I'll me scraping me Slavic husband's rudderrrrrr sooonnnn! Ah! The grog is getting to me senses!

Russian general and military historian: Stalingrad turning point of WWIIHistorians in the News
tags: Telegraph (UK), Stalingrad, WWII, Russia Now, Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Makhmut Gareyev
It was the Battle of Stalingrad that broke the back of the Wehrmacht, says army general Makhmut Gareyev.
Historians tend to disagree about the significance of the Battle of Stalingrad for the outcome of the Second World War. Many western scholars claimed that it was not the Battle of Stalingrad, but the British victory at El Alamein, where Montgomery's Eighth Army triumphed over Rommel's Afrika Korps in November 1942, that marked the war's biggest turning point.
For the sake of fairness, it has to be said that El Alamein made a substantial contribution to Hitler's eventual defeat – not least because it marked the first defeat of Erwin Rommel, Germany's legendary practitioner of blitzkrieg tactics, and because it came as a big morale boost for the Allies.
However, strategically, the surrender of the German 6th Army at Stalingrad, less than three months later, was a much bigger blow for Hitler and the Wehrmacht's morale. It marked the first major, decisive defeat on Hitler's Eastern Front, and paved the way for the Red Army's advance on Berlin in 1945....

Hypericum 'Hidcote' is a fabulous ornamental hedging shrub. It has a great show of attractive bright yellow flowers from May to August that sit atop rich, dark green foliage.
St John's Wort requires a moist but well-drained soil. It can withstand partial shade but for maximum flowering, a sunny position is advised. Hypericum is sometimes referred to as semi-evergreen as it may lose some leaves in particularly frosty conditions.
Hypericum 'Hidcote' is a low growing, ornamental hedging plant ideal for bushy borders and when a good show of colour is required.
Other shrubs for hedging.
Hypericum has an average growth rate of 20-40cm per year and it is ideal for heights up to 1m.
Prune your Hypericum hedge in summer after flowering. Please view the Best 4 Hedging Care and Planting instructions in our Advice section.

I worked at PFSweb full-time (Less than a year)
The location of the call center. Working for a company that supports so many diverse business models.
The training for new hires was very poor planned, this was a new client for the company but from my call center experience the trainers did not seem knowledgeable at all. The leadership in the department I was in were reactive instead of proactive to issues. Pay was very low and as a result the quality of employees was the same. No screening of new hires. Literally filled out application and got the job no interview. Very poor hiring practice. Did not take the time to interview so staff for this new client had very poor attitudes and the client expressed this. Matrix for quality control was set so high and with poor training set people to fail. Promoted those who were not worthy with no work experience in a call center. People who were put in these positions only there for who they were friends or extra nice too.
Advice to Management
When you take on a client research more. Hire a staff who wants to be there not just filling the seats. Don't be reactive to poor quality calls be proactive and actually train people. I am not sure how they have the other clients and failed with the one I worked for. I had more experience then at least 65% of the leadership group. People were put in these roles because of who they knew and had lunch with. Promote based on knowledge and past work experience.

Can't think of any. It;s just a job, I guess not a career.
This company is a hot mess in all sense of the word. They do not care at all who they hire. I believe they look for people who come from bad backgrounds like south dallas and poorer areas and pay them between 10-11.50. The calls are horrible and some accounts I would avoid as much as possible. There is a huge amount of black and gay people hired here. I don't really care about that but it's a huge influx of blacks in the main call center and white in the management department. Trainning is bad, and a majority of the people here are extremely unprofessional. I saw three woman put in hair tracks in the lobby of the building. You JUSt DONT do that at any company. Turn around is horrrible almost 60% every year. That means every year 60% of the people you began to work with will not be there at the end of the year. It is always extremely easy to be hired on due to the high turn around rate. Just apply in person or with prostaff and you will hired one during the holiday season. However i would not recommend this company. Again pay for call agent is between 10-11.50 not less. With the insurance taken out you will be making less per hour. Over all, you have better luck at a good job with Albertsons or Korgers than here.
Advice to Management
Hire better people get better results. Hire a ghetto mess get a ghetto mess result
the pay was normal, location accessible
management are dumb
no benefits
pay could be better
Advice to Management
take the advice of the employees instead of firing them over some bull posted on social sites

I wanted to annotate the article "Loggia" with the property "Has architect" by querying for the inverse "Architect of::{{PAGENAME}}". I found that if I used <ask> tag syntax, it didn't work, but if I use {{#ask:}} function syntax, it did! See http://ontoworld.org/wiki/Loggia So try the {{#ask}} function form. It's a neat way to keep inverse property up-to-date, if you regularly refresh or edit. Even the {{#ask}} function form definitely doesn't work if there are multiple values returned, see http://ontoworld.org/wiki/Turkey where I tried to annotate it with multiple "Location of" from one query. Maybe with templates you could make it go. And you can use a query with separators to generate the wiki text for annotations that you can copy and paste into a page, see http://semantic-mediawiki.org/index.php/Help:Inline_queries#Using_a_query_to_produce_wikitext_for_annotations Another approach is to let the property get "stale" and out of sync, and always query for objects of the inverse property. That requires hardcoding the inverse property's name. The late, unlamented {{ask}} Template on ontoworld.org did this for lots of properties. You could put a {{get_inverses}} template on every page that just queried for all known inverse relations involving {{PAGENAME}}. -- =S Page

Hookworm infection, a global problem of human, is caused by both Ancylostoma duodenale and Necator americanus. These parasites are considered as important blood feeding nematodes. Hookworm is usually prevalent among the people who live with low socio-economic status. However, this tropical disease is neglected in most cases. This review was aimed at investigating the insights of hookworm infection of human considering its epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestation, diagnosis, treatment, immune mechanism, prevention, and control. This study showed how hookworm infection poses a global burden and infects 438.9 million people around the word annualy, and causes significant morbidity among the children and adult in endemic countries. Also, this review discussed how hookworm infection threatens the mankind causing serious health hazards.

Hassan email@example.com Marwa A. Ahmed firstname.lastname@example.com Khaled M. A. Hassanein firstname.lastname@example.com Hanan Waly firstname.lastname@example.com
Objective: This study was aimed to evaluate the effects of daily intake of vitamin C or selenium against deleterious effects of nicotine toxicity on pregnant albino rats.

Materials and methods: Forty albino pregnant rats were equally distributed into four groups. Group A was considered as control. Group B was administered with nicotine dosed at 1 mg/kg body weight (bwt) daily for 7 weeks (wks) from 1st day of gestation until the postnatal 4 wks. Group C was treated with nicotine and vitamin C dosed at 1 mg/kg bwt orally for 7 wks, group D was treated with nicotine and sodium selenite dosed at 1 ug/100 g bwt concurrently for 7 wks. The levels of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), protein carbonyl (PC) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), were estimated in homogenates of the lung, kidney and liver. Histopathological studies using hematoxylin and eosin as well as immunohistochemical studies using p53 antibody were also done.

Results: Nicotine significantly elevated the levels of TBARS and PC as compared to control rats. Groups C and D showed decrease in these levels significantly. CAT and SOD activities of group B were decreased significantly. Significant elevation of CAT and SOD activities was detected in both groups C and D. Vitamin C elevated the antioxidant enzymes activities to normal levels, however selenium administration improved these levels but still lower than those of group A. Expression of p53 was decreased in group B as compared to group A. Vitamin C completely reversed the expression of p53 as group A. However, group D did not showed any significant changes in expressions as compared to group B.

Conclusion: It is concluded that vitamin C intake was useful than selenium in prevention against nicotine-induced oxidative stress including p53 expression in the lung, kidney and liver of pregnant rats.

Elhassan firstname.lastname@example.com Azza M. Babiker firstname.lastname@example.com Mohamed E. Ahmed email@example.com Abdelrahim M. El Hussein firstname.lastname@example.com
Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the seroprevalence of coinfections with bovine herpes virus-1 (BHV-1), bovine viral diarrhea (BVD), bluetoungue virus (BTV) and bovine herpes virus-4 (BHV-4) in cattle with reproductive problems in Sudan,  and to determine the relation of single or mixed seropositivity with abortion, infertility and death after birth.

Materials and methods: Meta-analysis of the results from our earlier serosurveys conducted with a total of 688 dairy cattle was carried out in order to determine prevalence of seropositivity of single and mixed (coinfection) viral infections.

Reults: The meta-analysis of the data indicated high seroprevalence of coinfections with various combinations of these agents; only few animals were singly infected. An infection with BHV-1 was observed to be higher than the prevalence of associations between BHV-1 and the other three viral agents. Prevalence of seropositivities to coinfection with BHV-1/BTV; BHV-1/BVD; BHV-1/BTV/BVD were the highest while seropositivities prevalences that involved BHV-4 were much lower. The highest abortion rates were encountered in coinfections with BHV-1/BVD/BTV (31%) and BHV-1/BVD/BTV/BHV-4 (30%) while most infertility cases were noticed in coinfection with BHV-1/BVD/BTV (44%) and BHV-1/BVD/BTV/BHV-4 (21%), and coinfections with the four viruses were encountered in most of the death after birth cases (25%). Overall mixed infections with BHV-1/BVD/BTV (34%) and BHV-1/BVD/BTV/BHV-4 (22.5%) were involved in the majority of reproductive problems studied.

Conclusion: Mixed infections constitutes the vast majority of cases and are involved in the majority of reproductive disorders investigated. The high prevalence of seropositivity to all of the four viruses should call for an intervention strategy to reduce the impact of these viruses.

Objective: This study was designed to assess the prevalence and the associated risk factors (e.g., sex, age, breed, management system and climate) of Dirofilaria immitis in dogs in Makurdi metropolis in Nigeria.

Materials and methods: Prevalence study of canine heartworm disease in dogs was conducted over a period of six months covering five localities of Makurdi metropolis in Benue State, Nigeria. A total of 186 blood samples were collected from apparently healthy and sick dogs, and the samples were examined for the presence of microfilaria between September 2015 and February 2016. Three methods (wet mount, Buffy coat and modified Knott's techniques) were used for the examination of the samples. The Packed Cell Volume (PCV) and complete blood count for each sample were also determined.

Results:  Out of the 186 dogs, 4 (2.15%) were found to be positive for the presence of microfilaria. Out of the 4 positive cases, 3 (1.61%) were microfilaria and 1 (0.54%) was unidentified motile parasite. A total of 104 females were examined and only 1 (0.96%) was positive, while 3 (3.66%) males out of 82 examined were positive. Out of 141 older dogs examined, 4 (2.84%) were positive. Hematology of the positive dogs revealed mild anemia and moderate thrombocytopenia with Mean±SD of 34.8±15.30% and 108±60.81x109/L, respectively.

Conclusion: The study confirms Knott's technique to be the most sensitive in the diagnosis of dirofilariasis in dogs using parasitological techniques. The findings confirm the occurrence of D. immitis in dogs in Makurdi with low prevalence and that the general public are at high risk of spreading infection from the dogs. Infection is more in male and adult dogs. This work can assist in planning appropriate strategies for controlling and prevention of D. immitis infection in Nigeria.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the growth response and feed utilization of Clarias gariepinus juveniles fed graded levels of boiled Senna obtusifolia seed meal as replacement for soybean meal.

Materials and methods: Five isocaloric and isonitrogenous diets were formulated. The diest were- control diet (with 0% inclusion level boiled S. obtusifolia seed meal i.e., 100% soybean meal),25%, 50%, 75% and 100% inclusion level (total replacement of soya bean meal). The feeds were fed to C. gariepinus juveniles at 5% of their body weight for 84 days in an indoor partial flow through system. Weight and standard length of C. gariepinus juveniles were taken every fortnight and water quality parameters were monitored weekly.

Results: Experimental fish fed diets with 0 and 25% inclusion level of boiled S. obtusifolia seed meal gave the best results in terms of Mean Weight Gain (MWG) (20.22 and 19.79 g, respectively), Specific Growth Rate (1.82 and 1.83 respectively), Protein Efficiency Ratio (2.75 and 2.00, respectively) and the Lowest Feed Conversion Ratio (1.29 and 1.39 respectively). The lowest growth and feed utilization were observed in fish fed 100% inclusion level. The weight gain of fish decreased with increase in replacement level above 25%. There was no significant difference between control diet 0 and 25% inclusion level(P≥0.05).

Conclusion: Boiled S. obtusifolia seed meal is a nutritive source of plant protein and a good replacement for soybean meal at 25% inclusion level of boiled S. obtusifolia seed meal in formulating catfish feed for C. gariepinus juveniles without any deleterious effect.

Objective:  This study evaluated the occurrence and antimicrobial susceptibility profile of Salmonella species isolated from various poultry products including chicken meat, poultry eggs, poultry bird's drinking water, and poultry feed.

Materials and methods: A total of 79 samples comprising of chicken meat (n=20), egg shell (n=15), poultry egg contents (n=18), drinking water (n=14), and poultry feed (n=12) were bacteriologically and microscopically analyzed for the isolation of Salmonella species.

Results: Overall, this study reported a high prevalence of Salmonella species (62%) from various poultry products especially in poultry (chicken) meat and poultry egg contents where the percentage occurrence of Salmonella species was 100% and 20.4% respectively. The antibiogram conducted on the Salmonella species isolated from the various poultry samples reveal that all the isolates were multi-drug resistant to more than 50% of the tested antibiotics especially to tetracycline, gentamicin, tobramycin, nitrofurantoin and imipenem. However, most of the Salmonella species were also found to be highly susceptible to ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, ertapenem and ceftazidime. It was also observed in this study that the highest level of resistance to the tested antibiotics was recorded in Salmonella species isolated from poultry meat samples.

Conclusion: Salmonellosis due to the consumption of contaminated or infected poultry products could pose serious public health problem to the general public if allowed. Thus, poultry farms and other poultry product outlets should be operated under sanitized conditions that ward-off the incidence of foodborne pathogens such as Salmonella. The use of antibiotics as growth promoting agents and prophylaxis in the production of poultry birds in this region should be discouraged – since such practices allowed drug-resistant bacteria to emerge and spread in the community.

Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the pathological effects of experimental trypanosomosis on the semen collection reaction time and spermatozoa morphology of Yankasa rams.

Materials and Methods: Twelve apparently healthy Yankasa rams aging 24-30 months and weighing 22-25 Kg were randomly selected and were distributed into four (4) groups. Groups I and II were challenged with experimental Trypanosoma brucei brucei (Federe strain) and T. evansi (Sokoto strain) respectively, while group III was challenged with both T. brucei brucei and T. evansi parasites. Group IV was left as uninfected control. Each infected ram received 2 mL of the infected blood containing 2x106 trypomastigotes via the jugular vein. The animals were examined for clinical observations, reaction time for semen collection and abnormalities in the morphology of the spermatozoa.

Results: Infection of rams with trypanosomes showed scrotal edema, scrotal atrophy, loss of libido, increased semen collection reaction time, and significant increase of spermatozoa morphological abnormalities in all the infected rams. The rams especially in groups I and III were all deemed unfit for breeding by the end of the 98 days post infection, while the uninfected rams remained as healthy and had normal values of sperm morphology throughout the study period.

Conclusion: Single or mixed interaction with T. brucei brucei or T. evansi is capable of causing infertility and reproductive failure in Yankasa rams.

Okubanjo http://www.banglajol.info/index.php/JAVAR/article/view/31518 Comparison of different DNA isolation methods and use of dodecyle trimethyl ammonium bromide (DTAB) for the isolation of DNA from meat products 2017-02-13T13:07:23+01:00 Yusuf Özşensoy email@example.com Seyda Şahin firstname.lastname@example.com
Objective: The identification of meat species in meat products is important for protection of human health, economic reasons, religious factors and for controlling the compliance with food regulations. For this purpose, DNA must be obtained in good quality and quantity. The aim of this study was to compare different DNA isolation methods from different meat products.

Materials and methods: Comparison among different DNA isolation methods was done. DNA was isolated from different meat products (e.g., sucuk, salami, sausage, braised meet, meatball and pastrami). The methods included phenol/chloroform, DNA isolation kit, Cetyl Trimethyl Ammonium Bromide (CTAB) and Dodecyle Trimethyl Ammonium Bromide (DTAB).

Results: Although DNA was obtained from all of these methods, the phenol/chloroform and DNA isolation kit methods were found to be the most effective methods for obtaining high quantity DNA. RNA contamination was determined to be common in DTAB method. High quantity of DNA and RNA contamination in terms of quality was detected in CTAB method. Ruminant specific 16S rRNA primer was used to amplify genomic DNA by polymerase chain reaction and all samples were amplified except for some samples of DTAB.

Conclusion: DNA isolation kit, another best method, is recommended due to quality and quantity of DNA for researchers who do not want that phenol/chloroform method have toxic substances. This study is also the first study in which DTAB method is used for DNA extraction from meat products.

Objective: This cross-sectional study was conducted from April to July 2014 in Khartoum state, the Sudan, to investigate aerobic bacteria and fungi of skin lesions of fish in 3 different areas in Khartoum.

Material and methods: A total of 50 samples were collected from the skin lesions of different types of fish including Synodontis species (n=17), Tilapia niloticus (n=15), Labeo niloticus (n=10), Hydrocynus species (n=4), and Clarias species (n=4). Liquid, semi-solid, and solid culture media like nutrient broth, blood agar, MacConkey agar, sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA), and Simmon's citrate medium were used for the isolation and identification of bacteria and fungi. Besides, Gram staining and biochemical characterization were also conducted.

Results: Culturing of the collected samples revealed growth of bacteria from all (100%), and growth of fungi could be found from 32% samples. A number of 188 bacteria were isolated, mainly Staphylococcus species, Bacillus species, Aeromonas species, Pseudomonas species, and Vibrio species. Besides, 16 fungi could be identified containing Aspergillus niger, A. flavus, A. fumigatus, and Phycomycete.

Conclusion: Fishes with skin lesions are harboring many pathogenic bacteria and fungi and may act as a source of zoonotic infections and can transmit several pathogens to workers in fish industry and consumers. Therefore, thorough and strict routine inspection of fish is recommended to ensure safety and that there are no serious risks to consumers.

Objective: This research work was conducted for isolation of Salmonella spp. from duck and pigeon and assessment of antibiotic sensitivity patterns of the isolated Salmonella spp.

Materials and methods: A total of 48 duck samples comprising of liver (n=16) spleen (n=16) and intestinal content (n=16) were collected from 16 ducks (8 sick and 8 dead). Similarly, 42 pigeon samples comprising of liver (n=14), spleen (n=14) and intestinal contents (n=14) were collected from 14 pigeons (7 sick and 7 dead). The samples were collected from the selected Duck and Pigeon farms at three Upazillas (sub-districts) in Dinajpur district, Bangladesh. The samples were subjected for isolation and identification of Salmonella spp. following standard bacteriological examinations such as cultural and morphological characteristics, biochemical properties and motility test. Commercially available antibiotic discs were used for the assesment of antibiotic resistant patterns by disc diffusion method.

Results: Salmonella spp. could be isolated from 39.58% (n=19/48) duck and 28.57% (n=12/42) pigeon samples. The growth of colony with different characteristics in Brilliant Green agar, Nutrient agar, Salmonella-Shigella agar and Mac Conkey agar indicated positive results. Dextrose and mannitol were fermented and in Triple Sugar Iron (TSI) slant media, the isolates produced red color, yellow in butt with slightly black color. Positive result was found in Indole and Methyl Red media. The isolated Salmonella organisms were found to be highly sensitive to Azithromycin, Ciprofloxacin and Levofloxacin.

Conclusion: Pigeons and ducks found in the study area may be the carrier of Salmonella spp. The farm should be checked periodically to know the status of Salmonella infection. Further study might be isolation and identification of Salmonella organism with detail genomic analysis and drug resistance.

Objective: Heavy metals are serious environmental pollutants and their uptake and accumulation in the ecosystem, beyond safe limits, would cause direct consequences to food chain and ultimately to man. The present study was undertaken to ascertain the presence and levels of lead (Pb) in muscles and organs of slaughtered pigs at Nsukka agricultural zone, Nigeria.

Materials and methods: From a total of 160 slaughtered pigs, liver, kidney and muscle of each pig were collected and processed for the detection of lead residue using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer.

Results: A prevalence rate of 81.25% was recorded for Pb residue in Nsukka agricultural zone. There is a strong association (P<0.0001) between occurrence of Pb residue and the source of samples. Mean concentrations of 0.0758 mg/kg, 0.1050 mg/kg and 0.0985 mg/kg were recorded in kidney, mean concentrations of 0.1676 mg/kg, 0.1235 mg/kg and 0.1955 mg/kg were recorded in liver and mean concentrations of 0.0598 mg/kg, 0.0870 mg/kg and 0.1020 mg/kg in muscle samples in Nsukka, orba and Obollo slaughter houses respectively. There is no significant (P<0.05) difference between the mean concentrations of the Pb in the liver, kidney and muscle samples (Nsukka, Orba and Obollo) and its maximum permissible levels (MPL).

Conclusion: More than half of the samples were positive for Pb and few samples that exceeded the MPL may pose human health threat to pork consumers in the study area.

Objective: Brucellosis is a highly contagious zoonosis with global distribution. The disease remains endemic in many countries including Iran, while its seroprevalence in endemic area is not well documented. We aimed to determine the seroprevalence of brucellosis in sheep and goats in Hamedan province, west of Iran.

Material and methods: A total of 3,250 blood samples from 2,550 sheep and 700 goats were collected randomly. All samples were analyzed for the presence of Brucella antibodies using Rose Bengal, Wright standard tube agglutination and 2-mercaptoethanol agglutination tests.

Results: The seroprevalence rate of brucellosis in animals and flock level were found in 4.6% and 13.6% of goats and 3% and 27.9% of sheep, respectively. No evidence of correlation between gender and Brucella infection rate were found in animals (P>0.05). Statistical significant differences was seen between age groups and infection rate in goats (P=0.033, OR=2.1); unlike to sheep (P=0.373). Also, the infection rate in nomads population of sheep was higher than fix location animals (P=0.003; OR=1.9); unlike to goats (P=0.195). In animals with history of abortion and vaccination against brucellosis, seroprevalence rate was significantly lower than other (P<0.05).

Conclusion: This is the first report of brucellosis in sheep and goats in Hamedan province. The design of a comprehensive control program including vaccination, screening, and culling of brucellosis-positive animals is recommended.

Objective: A cross sectional study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of Infectious Bursal Disease (IBD) and Newcastle Disease (ND) in poultry of Narsingdi district, Bangladesh.

Materials and methods: Post mortem of a total of 208 dead birds were done for the diagnosis purpose. Different poultry species included in this study included broilers, layers, pigeon, duck etc.

Results: Among the examined birds, 38% were found to be affected with IBD, and 11% were affected with ND. Age of the birds for both IBD (19.95; 95%CI: 16-23) and ND (122.23; 95%CI: 98.62-145.83); and flock size only for IBD (1317; 95%CI: 1175-1460) was found significantly associated. The chicks aging between 16-23 days and flock size between 1175-1460 were found to be the most susceptible group to IBD, and adult poultry (98.62-145.83 days old) was mostly susceptible to ND.

Conclusion: IBD and ND are highly prevalent in the study area. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct effective control measures to reduce the prevalence of these diseases. This study can help in designing appropriate control measures considering risk factors of these diseases.

Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the effects of estradiol benzoate injection to intact and castrated male rabbits on LH, FSH, testosterone and prostate tissue.

Materials and methods: A total of 72 mature male rabbits were used in this study. The rabbits were randomly divided into two groups (36 intact and 36 castrated) and each group was further divided into four sub-groups. The rabbits of each subgroup were injected estradiol benzoate dosed at 0, 40, 80 and 120 µgm/rabbit, through intramuscular (IM) route, on each alternative day over a period of 30 days. The levels of LH, FSH, and testosterone were measured in serum samples. Prostate tissue samples were taken from each sub-groups, histological examination was done.

Results: The mean serum levels of LH and FSH were not affected by injection of estradiol benzoate in all intact and castrated rabbits sub-groups (P>0.05). However, the results of testosterone levels were showed insignificant increase in all intact and castrated male rabbits sub-groups, except the intact male rabbit sub-group that received estradiol benzoate at 120 µg/rabbit (P<0.05). Furthermore, the effects of estradiol benzoate in prostate tissues were ranged from hyperplasia with dysplasia or dysplasia only in intact male rabbits; hyperplasia was represented by papillary projection in castrated male rabbits.

Conclusion: The present study revealed no difference in the serum levels of LH, FSH in intact or castrated male rabbits, however, testosterone hormone did not show any change except in sub-group of intact male rabbits that was injected dosed at 120 µg estradiol benzoate. The effect of estradiol benzoate on prostate tissue was found to be induce hyperplasia in both intact and castrated males rabbits.

Painting in typical fashion with a brush only was seemingly too limited in its scope for the inventive mind of abstract painter Dan Christensen (1942-2007). With tools that included spray guns, rollers, and squeegees, he created pictures of festively tinted looping strips resembling ribbons, mysterious wedges of color, and spheres that were all a-shimmer. His painting processes were fascinating in their own right, and in making the bright pictures that epitomize his body of work he may have had more fun than just about anyone else.

PFLAG Announces 2010 Scholarship Recipients
June 15, 2010
Read More: PFLAG, Scholarship, VCU
Collyn Clark and Caitlynn Samuel are PFLAG Richmond's 2010 Scholarship Recipients.
Clark is a graduating senior from Highland Springs High School and Caitlynn Samuel begins her Junior year at VCU in September.
They receive their scholarships at PFLAG's July 13 meeting. Read excerpts from their essays below.
Collyn Clark's Essay Excerpt
Situations of abuse and discrimination happen to thousands of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) teens across the country. The lack of understanding and support from parents and their communities is truly unbearable for young LGBT youth. Throughout the past three years, I have taken what I have learned from my unfortunate family situations and transformed it into activism. I am fully aware of the impact that my sexual orientation will have on my future success. Although I have come to terms that my orientation may jeopardize my career path or personal aspirations, it does not change my character, integrity, or my thirst for knowledge and excellence. This cause is what motivated me to apply for this scholarship.
Throughout my high school career, I have always had the respect of many of the faculty and staff at Highland Springs as well as my family and friends. I have remained a leader, role model and inspiration to my fellow students. Although many have shown their disapproval for LGBT rights, they have always shown me the respect for fighting for this cause. One teacher in particular found a unique interest in me and saw what impact I had on the student body……
I have realized that although I have overcome my familial trials and tribulations as a LGBT youth, there are others in the community who are ostracized because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. I feel as though I can use my education from gaining a degree to impact my community. In order to combat the issues of discrimination and inequality that face LGBT Americans and promote change in the community, I took on the role as leader in the YEL program (Youth Engaged in Leadership) at ROSMY. I participate in Equality Virginia…. In addition, I work to advance a legislative and public policy agenda that will move Virginia towards equality for all. While being a part of these organizations as well as other clubs and sports, I have still been able to maintain a GPA of 3.7223 and being president of 3 clubs.
My family, especially my mother, instilled it in me that nothing is impossible. My mother was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2005. Two years later, my little brother was born. With both of these factors taking a toll on her body, I saw my mother getting weaker and weaker by the day but she managed to stay positive. The medications needed to help with the symptoms of MS as well as the supplies need for the baby, took away from the family income drastically….. While battling her disease, she has obtained an MBA as well as starting her own wedding consulting business. My parents have always challenged me to do my best and to fight for what I believe in….
Receiving this scholarship will get me one step closer to helping those that are underrepresented. The LGBT community is treated as second class citizens and I want to be the one that makes an impact. In college, I plan to major is political science and work my way to becoming a civil rights lawyer so that I may become the voice for the present and future.
Caitlynn Samuel's Essay Excerpt
I think that everyone has something they're passionate about in life. I didn't have that for a long time. I had known that I was a lesbian for years and was finally ready to be "out" and not care about what anyone else thought. That was the beginning of my freshman year of college. I went through that whole year searching for something I could do to fight for LGBT rights, my rights. I was searching for something to give my life meaning other than college; I was hesitant to throw myself into activism this early but I wanted that drive and passion that everyone else had. When I found my passion, it wasn't a certain person who inspired me to be active but a group of people.
I joined VCU's LGBT advocacy group, Queer Action, at the start of my sophomore year of college…..
In a short time in this group, I volunteered to take charge of certain events we held and by doing that, worked my way into a small officer position. The 4 other officers are amazing people…..
About a month ago, we organized our antidiscrimination rally in response to Ken Cuccinelli's letter to universities. Since then I have organized trips to fR and ordered and distributed Queer the Census stickers for our organization. I also started VA intercollegiate OUT on facebook so other LGBT university groups in VA can post their events or rallies….
Recently, I've been in contact with an intern from HRC trying to get one of their Voices of Honor stops in Richmond. This is a movie and panel discussion about ending DADT. That's a work in progress that will hopefully be here soon. Next semester I'll be taking over the position of Treasurer. It's a huge responsibility and I'm honored that the others think I can do it. On top of all this, Queer Action is also family. I've never had a really close group of other people who identify as LGBT and becoming a part of this group has helped me grow as a person.
I can't explain how much this group has inspired me but I know that now I have the confidence to stand out and stand up for equality and what I think is right. I feel like this is what I'm supposed to be doing in life. I never would have found this passion for activism without Queer Action.

Mr Riaz is a fantastic surgeon and I'm very happy with my breast enlargement and maxopexy he carried out. After having my children and hysterectomy at 25 my breast had change a lot where I no longer felt attractive or took my top of in front of my husband. Mr Riaz has completely changed my life and I feel so great. I had my surgery at st Hugh's hospital Grimsby, Mr Riaz and his team where fantastic he listened to what I wanted and how I wanted them and size he exceeded my expeditions! My one day hospital stay was fantastic, my care was very taken care of, as soon as I pressed my patient buzzer the nurse was there. I had hardly ain't pain after surgery. A year later and I'm still happy with them you can't hardly see my scars my breast look amazing. I'm currently in the processes of booking abdominal surgery with Mr Riaz. I trust this surgeon 100% and would recommend him to anybody. Thank you Mr Riaz and his team in Grimsby
I had a corner mouth lift done by Mr Riaz in June 2016. I went to see him after hearing good reviews about his surgery. I am really happy with the results and would advise anyone who's considering cosmetic surgery to see him first. I'm going back soon to have scar revision, it's something that I've been considering for a couple of years and now I've got confidence in him it's something that I'm not nervous about getting done.
I've recently had abdominoplasty & Lipo suction to my upper arms. I'm 2 weeks post opp & am so happy with my results. Mr Riaz is an amazing plastic surgeon & I would highly recommend him to anyone who is considering having any cosmetic surgery. He's very friendly & knows how important these operations are to the patient. I've just had my stitches & dressings off & the scar although a little red at the moment is very straight & neat & is healing very well. I also have a heart shaped belly button which I love but if that was something you were worried about & didn't want a heart shaped belly button I know he would listen to you. Before my surgery I'd looked on the net at various before & after photos of tummy tuck patients & my results are the best I've ever seen! Amazing surgeon
I have recently had an abdominoplasty and liposuction to inner thighs carried out by Mr Riaz and I would recommend him to anyone. I contacted Mr Riaz as I already knew three people who had had abdominoplasty under him and they all said how fantastic his was. At my initial consultation Mr Riaz made me feel comfortable and I felt I could talk openly to him about the surgery, my current weight and all concerns I had. The aspect that impressed me most at this initial meeting was that I didn't feel 'judged' or that I was potentially too fat to ask for such surgery, I'm not huge but I'm not a size 10 either and I wanted the surgery purely to eliminate a hanging fold of my stomach and to be able to wear skirts and trousers and look nice in them. The surgery went well and Mr Riazs team were fantastic, I felt re-assured going into surgery which to me is the worst bit. I spent two nights in hospital and was up and walking around prior to coming home. I feel I have done very well post surgery, I only stayed on painkillers for one week and was up about and back driving after 2 1/2 weeks, the care I received post surgery was excellent as well. Result wise, its only 4 weeks since my surgery and I am very pleased, I knew what to expect from the initial scaring and I know it will alter considerably over the coming months and continue to improve in appearance. I already look so much better in clothing and I am very pleased I went ahead with the surgery, Mr Riaz has a lovely manner about him and is fantastic at his job.
I have been a patient of Mr Riaz on a number of occasions. I lost over 12 stones in weight, and desperately needed reconstructive/cosmetic surgery, for the excess skin, that such a huge weight loss had left me with. From the very first telephone call to Mrs Gale Bell (Mr Riaz's secretary) I was treated with the upmost respect and guidance. I went on to have numerous, necessary and totally successful procedures. Mr Riaz is dedicated and devoted to his patients and his work. He is a true gentleman. I have recommended 2 personal friends to him, and they too agree with my opinion. Not only is he perfectionist at his work, but his whole team, share his dedication. What more could anyone else require - A superb surgeon, with a superb team of medics, including anaesthetist, theatre staff, out patient nurses and secretary. I would be more than happy to chat to anyone who is requiring any of the procedures that I have had, just contact Mrs Bell on 01482 841228, and if she feels that you would benefit from my experiences, she will contact me on your behalf. Should I need further surgery, and Mr Riaz had relocated, then I would have no hesitation to travel to wherever he was practising.
