It is the day before his wedding when he casually slips out that he had once dated Echizen.
They are drunk and bawdy. He had spared no expenses and invited everyone that mattered, and he had flown them over to Okinawa where his beach resort had been prepared for the imminent party and wedding. People are swaying to the loud music and dancing on tables. His old teammates are huddling in a corner, and somehow Echizen is there, along with a few remnants of Seigaku, and they are bantering, sneering, boasting of past conquests and laughing at failed misdeeds.
It must have been Mukahi or Shishido, he thinks later, when he is sober and remorse and his heart empty, but there is a mention of Kikumaru and Oishi: "Were they ever an item?"
Momoshiro is calling for another beer when he is rudely called back to affirm this fact. His long hair is ridiculous, swinging back and forth as he turns and frowns. "What?"
"Your upperclassmen," Mukahi repeats, already a bit drunk, "Christ. Do I have to repeat everything today? Were they fucking?"
Momoshiro gawks and turns red, hollering and defending his teammates' honor with incomprehensible words. Shishido sighs and polishes off another shot.
"We could just. Ask them," he slurs, "I mean, they'll be here somewhere."
"Good idea, Ryou." Mukahi snickers and is about to do just that, but something in his haze stops him; he tilts his head and swings violently forward. "Woah. Woah. Okay. Never mind, it doesn't matter. It's totally true anyway."
"They weren't gay." Momoshiro sounds miserable now; he had failed them and their honor.
Mukahi laughs. "Sure, sure. They were. Experimenting, yeah? Is that what you'd call it? Oi, Atobe, what would you call it?"
He is swirling his drink, not yet drunk but not completely sober, staring out into space and watching Echizen from the corner of his eye.
"Earth to Atobe-sama!"
"Shut up, Gakuto," he says, "Don't bring me into one of your inane arguments."
"Make him lighten up, Yuushi," Mukahi leans back, his eyes rolling back. "Keigo should know," he says to the audience that exempts him, "Keigo went to boarding school. Don't you know about experimenting?"
He closes his eyes and takes another sip. The slow burn trickles in his throat. "I was in elementary school back then."
"Not the point," Mukahi sings, and waves his hands; a waiter comes by and fills his glass. "Not the fucking point. Keigo, take another shot, maybe that'll loosen you up."
Echizen doesn't touch his drink but his pack of cigarettes are almost empty; his fingers are thin and nimble, caressing the small, thin stick between the juncture of his fingers and his eyes are downcast. He looks bored and Atobe hates him for looking bored.
He finishes his glass and hands over the empty cup to the waiter. "Yes, experimenting, whatever you want to call it."
"And has Atobe Keigo ever?" Mukahi is having fun, it is a harmless fun, his eyes are bright and glowing; he will forget about this in the morning, he will not mention it. It is a careless night with careless mistakes with full redemption guaranteed.
"Atobe-san is getting married tomorrow," Momoshiro interjects weakly, but Atobe rises over those words; he doesn't need pathetic defenses.
"Of course I have," he says, cool, as if these things come and go, never of consequence, "Echizen knew one or more things besides tennis."
He speaks as if Echizen is not there and it is comfortable, somewhat; Echizen is a stranger and a observer to his voice, a small delusion before Echizen's head rises, his cigarette smoke wafting around the air he breathes.
There is a shriek. "What!"
"You never said!"
Momoshiro looks at Echizen and his gaze is wide and his face white. There is more squawking, but Echizen heeds none of that. He doesn't look shocked or betrayed; he gives him a careful look and a smirk a moment later.
"Hmm. Yeah, I guess I did, didn't I?"
There is a stunned silence for a moment; everyone has woken up from a hazy stupor and now their small crowd sits up, alert and wary. Behind them, the party roars and moves, while they are frozen in time.
"Well," Oshitari finally says, "Well."
"Well, the fuck," Mukahi curses loudly, and lifts his drink, finishes it off in one gulp. "Shit, I need more."
His eyes cannot leave the hazel orbs that flicker with the dim lamps. They do not convey anything; it has been a long time since he ever tried to read them. Echizen does not look away but inhales his cigarette slowly, lets it out, blows. His lips are curved without humor but he doesn't look irritated. Atobe feels it safe to elaborate.
"It ended horribly, of course."
"Of course."
"It wasn't even fun after awhile, was it?"
"You," Echizen drawls, and his drawl is slow and pleasant, languid with slow laughter, "were a horrible kisser. I expected better."
Atobe rolls his eyes at that, and Echizen laughs, and his empty laugh fills the void of their petrified crowd, and it is this laugh that makes Momoshiro blink and start, "Shit. Echizen, you utter brat! You never said!"
"Didn't feel the need." Echizen shrugs, and he leans back into his seat again, but those eyes are still locked with his, "Besides, no need to make a scandal, monkey king's getting married tomorrow."
He doesn't know why that should resonate with him and leave him bitter.
He finds Echizen later, when everyone disperses into their rooms and sleep their way until the wedding that is to be held in the late afternoon. Echizen is leaning back against the wall, and he is still smoking, a curl of smoke wrapping around his thin body and creating his own world within.
He clears his throat and steps near, but Echizen doesn't start or look surprised. He rummages his pockets though, and offers him the nearly empty pack.
He shakes his head. "I don't smoke."
"I know." Echizen grins, boyish, but he doesn't pocket the pack. "I thought I'd show some manners."
"What a day to show it," he says wryly.
"Hey, I can behave if I want." He breathes in slow, and lets out another wisp of weak smoke. "Didn't you see me behave earlier?"
"Yes, shocking. Marvelous, really."
"I know."
He pauses. Echizen doesn't offer to lead any words; he is content to smoke, and if he doesn't speak, they will stand there in silence and everything will scatter and nothing will piece itself. "I'm sorry, though. I didn't plan on saying it. About us."
A shrug. "Whatever. It doesn't matter."
"Still." He tries to lift up a smile and fails, so he presses his lips together instead. "It must have caught you by surprise."
"Well," Echizen says, and pauses. Another shrug, but this time the shrug is a half-jerk: frustration is crawling on his face. "It was a long time ago. And besides," here, Echizen's smirk is better than his, "I guess I deserved that. You know. We parted too nicely."
"I parted too nicely, you mean." He says the words before his mind registers them and regrets it a moment later. He looks away while Echizen continues to smoke and his words meander between them.
"Yeah," Echizen says, "Yeah, that. You sure you don't want a smoke?" He pulls one out before he can protest. "It's the last one. It'll give you good luck for your wedding."
He takes it and Echizen fumbles for the light. His hand is shaking, and the light doesn't stick.
"Hold steady," Echizen says, but he doesn't sound irritated, and he patiently clicks a few more times until the fire glows at the tip of his smoke. "There. Blow in and out."
"I know how." He takes the first drag, and the smoke fills his mouth and moves to his throat and suffocates him with unwanted air. He coughs and sputters.
"This is repulsive."
"I know," Echizen laughs; he sounds like a child. "You really can't smoke, can you?"
"Repulsive," he repeats. He doesn't throw away the smoke though.
"Here, let me." Echizen leans forward, and he offers the stick; Echizen closes his eyes, his own stick dangling carelessly between his thumb and forefinger, and he inhales and exhales perfectly. He opens his eyes and smirks. "See? Child's play."
"Are you seeing anyone?" He doesn't know why he is asking this now, but Echizen answers easily.
"Yeah. Loads. Going here and there."
"Anyone serious?"
"No." There is amusement smearing over his words now; with each answer he is deliberately weaving a joke. "I'm not like you."
"You were," he says, again without much thought. It is the alcohol, he tries to defend, the haze, the fog. The smoke, ruining his brain and his words.
Echizen doesn't reply to that immediately and his eyes sag. His lips thin and fingers fumble for his own smoke. When he finds his words, the words are lagging and worn. "Don't start."
"I'm not." He waits, and adds, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."
"Don't apologize." Again, the tired voice and another drag. "You never apologized."
"I have."
"Yeah, you have. Not like today, though."
There is one time he had: before they went their separate, shattered ways, he had demanded what was wrong, and when Echizen refused to answer he had cajoled, and later, he had apologized for things he did not know what he did wrong. It did not change them, and years later, he is still standing there, hoping that apologies could revert the past.
"I know." He pauses, and fails to conjure up words.
"I saw your fiancée. She seems nice. Decent."
"And well-off, yes."
"Yeah." The light voice is back and there is even good cheer in them. "Perfect for you, really. You could have spoiled brats running over your castle now."
"It's too early for that," he says wearily. His smile finally succeeds, and he gestures his hand outwards, away from them. "I should get back."
"Yeah. You should sleep. And smoke." Echizen pointedly looks at his unfinished cigarette. He laughs quietly and is about to turn. Something whispers to him to ask, once more though: "Ryoma."
That surprises him too, but all Echizen does is tilt his head and show that he is listening without meeting eyes.
"What you did, back then." He is glad his voice is not choked; the smoke had not ruined him, after all. "Were you really tired of us?"
Echizen's lips are white, and for a good instance his eyes flare and he looks angry, but those same eyes flicker out as soon as they come and all he is left with is a fake smirk and lightheartedness once more. "Of course I was," he drawls, "You're terrible to get along with, Keigo."
He smiles. Before he turns and walks away, he lets his hand reach out and touch Echizen's wrist; his fingers brush against the jutting joint.
"You make a terrible liar." Is what he says; what he means is left unspoken.
He walks before he can see Echizen's face, and as he walks he lifts the abandoned cigarette to his lips and breathes in slowly, letting the smoke sink in deep. He lets it out and the smoke is like their last kiss.

Night Sky March 2017
This is the start of a new blog series about what you can see in the night sky next month.
Astronomy is a big interest of mine and hopefully, this series will give me more knowledge and be informative to a wider audience at the same time.
Do I need a telescope?
I'll write what events will happen in the month ahead regarding the Moon and planets. The Moon is very easy to see day or night if the weather is clear, so you won't need a telescope. Other astronomical events involving the planets and the Sun you will need a telescope. If you don't have one, do not be discouraged. I call myself an amateur astronomer and even I do not have a telescope yet. It is something I am building towards once I figure out what things I really want to see and which type of telescope I would prefer to buy. The star constellations are the most accessible things to see in the night sky and you will not need a telescope, just your eyes.
North and South
I will write about what you can see in the sky if you look north and south. Hopefully, the weather will be kind when you choose to look. Winter offers the best opportunity to see the stars because it is darker much earlier in the evening. In spring and summer, you'd have to look at the night sky a lot later in the evening, less convenient time but better weather.
I find it rewarding to be able to look at the stars and know what the constellations are. By rewarding I mean more that there is something romantic about it and in a small way starts to answer one of life's most puzzling questions, why are we here? There is so much history to how each star was discovered and even more to learn about what type of star it is. With this is mind I will either provide more information about a certain constellation or give you some interesting astronomical facts.
My first Astronomy talk
At the beginning of January, I presented a short sky this month talk for the astronomy society I am a member of (Flamsteed Astronomy Society). We have monthly lectures at the National Maritime Museum and members are asked to volunteer to present this short sky this month talk before the guest lecturer does there talk. It was a fun experience and it taught me a lot about what we can all see in the night sky. So continuing to write about this I think is the perfect way to introduce astronomy posts to my blog. I hope you enjoy.
Northern sky
The constellation of Cepheus can be seen almost straight above north, with Cassiopeia to the left. Cepheus has been described as a church tower and steeple, what would your interpretation be?
One star part of Cepheus is Mu (μ), also known as the Garnet Star. It has a deep red colour and is a red supergiant. This is one of the largest known stars, 2400 times the diameter of the Sun. Betelgeuse in Orion is also a red supergiant but is only around 500 times the diameter of the Sun. If μ were in our solar system it would extend beyond the orbit of Saturn.
Along the horizon to the east is the star Deneb that is a part of Cygnus. Continue looking to the north east and you can see Vega.
Southern sky
Remember now that you are looking south, east and west have now flipped around.
The constellation of Leo is prominent in March. Regulus is the brightest star in Leo and can be spotted above south.
Between Leo in the east and Gemini in the west is the constellation of Cancer. At its centre is the open cluster, M44 or Prasepe. This will appear as a hazy spot to the naked eye through binoculars it will look like a group of dozens of individual stars.
Orion is the most recognisable constellation during the winter months and can still be seen during March if you look west.
During March
- 5th 11:32 Moon at perigee
- 12th 14:54 Full Moon
- 18th Moon at apogee
- 20th Moon last quarter
- 26th British summer time begins
- 28th New Moon
- 30th Moon at perigee
What are perigee and apogee? Perigee is when the Moon's orbit is closest to the Earth. Apogee is when the Moon's orbit is furthest away.
This month's focus – Orion
Orion is my favourite constellation, for one simple reason. It was the first constellation I was able to identify in the night sky. During an online course last year I was asked to look for Orion. Expecting to not see a thing in the sky due to bad weather and light pollution I was incredibly surprised to look up and immediately recognise Orion. It was a beautiful personal moment and Orion continues to fill me with wonder every time I see it.
Except for the super giant Betelgeuse, all main stars in Orion are young blue supergiants. These stars are Rigel, Bellatrix, Saiph, Alnitak, Alnilam and Mintaka. Betelgeuse and Rigel are two of the brightest stars in the night sky. Rigel shines 40,000 times brighter than our Sun. Betelgeuse is 100,000 times brighter.
Orion's belt is comprised of the stars Alnilam, Mintaka and Alnitak. Gradually Orion's stars are moving apart. We will not notice much difference in the appearance of the constellation because of the distance from Earth.
In the next million years, Betelgeuse is predicted to turn into a supernova that will cause a dramatic change to Orion. The supernova will cause the star to shine as bright as a full moon.
Viewing over
I hope you have found this first post interesting and will intrigue you to look at all the stars in the night sky.

Editorial Dear Lions,
Seasons greetings & Best wishes to all of you. I and our club members thank Lion Dr.D.Ashok, Region Chairperson for choosing me as Editor for "Gangotri� Region Conference Souvenir. We are all proud to be members of Lions Clubs International. It is the largest service club organisation in the world with 1.35 million members in more than 46,000 clubs worldwide. Lions Clubs are everywhere. Lions men and women who are active in community projects in more than 207 countries and geographic areas. Lions Clubs are best known for fighting blindness. We thank our founder Melvin Jones for giving us opportunity to serve the poor and needy people in the community through Lions Clubs. During this conference all clubs together conduct good service activities like distribution of Sewing Machines, Tricycles, Artificial Limbs etc. Region Conference gives us a great opportunity to meet all club members together and exchange our views for a good cause. It is a good platform to recognise the services rendered by the dedicated & committed Lions by giving mementoes to them. All the clubs will get opportunity to speak about the service activities done by different clubs. Many nonlions are also invited to witness the function and to see the discipline maintained by the Lion members during banner presentation and other activities during conference. All Lions will enjoy the hospitality of the Host Club i.e. LC Hyderabad Ankit. Everybody will remember the conference for ever and carry the sweet memories. We are bringing out a souvenir during Region Conference. This is a good opportunity for people to know about the clubs doing excellent service activities, conducting Mega Health Camps, their permanent projects and the awards received by the club members. Region Chairperson Lion Dr. D.Ashok has formed different committees with dynamic & experienced Lions as team leaders to organise this Region Conference systematically. In this conference all the active clubs and other active Lions of our Region will be recognised for their dedicated and committed service. My Sincere thanks to all the advertisers, donors, all the committee members and all the club members for participating in large numbers will make the conference a grand success. I wish that our Region should stand 1st in our District with the co-operation of all club memebrs of our Region. Best regards
Lion P.Ramesh Chandra Babu Editor
Keynote Lion Dr.D.Ashok mjf Region Chairperson
Lions, Lionesses, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, it is a great pleasure to address the Region Conference of Region-I, District 316 B, named 'GANGOTRI REGION CONFERENCE'. Lions Clubs International is a vibrant International service organization which has a huge workforce, more than 1.3 million strong. It has the world's largest extended family with an attitude: we serve. With an ethic of voluntary service as a duty, of compassion delivered with passion, it represent a vast repository of human goodness in a world where too much of the news seems relentlessly depressing. I am intensely gratified to be a part of an organization whose work, whose very existence, in fact, is a beacon of hope in a profoundly unfair, lopsided world of vast privilege, hoarded by the billionaires, the multi-millionaires, indifferent to the misery, the poor health, the early deaths from entirely preventable causes, of the bottom billion, the people who are down to the last cent. Graciously I am elated to chair the Region-I of District 316 B, which constitutes 14 Clubs and an enterprising network of four energetic Zone Chairpersons and four constructive Zone Membership Advisors. I would like to intensely thank Lion N N Murthy our esteemed District Governor for giving me this assignment. Region-I is proud to have eight Lions having completed 50 years service in Lionism. Another important appreciation to the region would be a positive growth in membership and enrollment of 4 new Lions as mjfs, which totals to 57 Lions holding Melvin Jones Fellowship.
I am proud that my home club Lions Club of Hyderabad Ankit stands no.1 in the Region in new members' induction. Region-I stays advanced by upgrading itself by attending International Leadership Training at Advanced Lions Leadership Institute, held at Ghaziabad, on 5th of October, 2012. Ardently, the interesting thing about this program is, two of the three Lions of this District who took part in this training, belong to Region – I. Any advancement through this training solely credits to Lion P Ramesh Chandra Babu and Lion Y V Ramachandra Rao. Lion G K Ramana, former Region Chairperson and a dedicated Lion was given the assignment of Conference Chairperson. His rich experience in hosting the conference and an enthusiastic support from my home club Lions Club of Hyderabad Ankit, compositely shall win the hearts of all the Lions who eye witness the conference. I have to place on record the excellent contribution of my home Club President Lion Dr D Sarasija for her untiring efforts to make this Region vibrant with service activities and a concord team work. Finally I would like to thank the entire Lions' team who has put in efforts in architecture and carving of this conference and make it grandeur raising the slogan 'Nobility Nurtures Mankind'.

It is very important to ink all the achievements and activities of the Region on a souvenir, for the inspiration and learning of fellow Lions. I am happy to learn that in your focused guidance, the Region has performed in an energetic and constructive manner with a slogan 'forget "me" to project "we". However all this would not happen without your commitment, dedication and sincere thinking to be at your best. Region-I in our District has a distinctive composite of talent, serving the people who are down to last cent. Lions Fraternity coming from mixture of seniors and juniors. Region has created a converse environment with a blend of Lions with different abilities and aptitudes. Region-I under your capacity is well poised to show case a Region that will speak of Excellence, Commitment and Dedication towards Lionism.

I am elated to actively participate and take up the assignment to chair the conference. I am certain that this wonderful event will win the hearts of all the Lions who witness it and inspire them to ensure a sincere and candid commitment towards Lionism.

Message Lion R. Sunil Kumar pmjf International Director Dear Dr Ashok, Greetings! It is extremely delightful to watch your performance as a Region Chairperson of our District. Having observed your commitment to Lionism for over 7 years now, and the key support you had extended to help keep LC HYD Ankit active, I am glad that you are the Region Chair. You are a highly qualified professional and a leader who has seen various trends in Lionism. I believe you must take on the task of rebuilding the enthusiasm in Lions to passionately steer our organization. The strength of an organization is its members. Unless our members are motivated by the quality of programs we undertake; by the content of the activity they are associated with and the Leadership opportunities that are offered to them, they may not turn very productive members. We must all work towards enhancing the relevance of Lionism to be able to relate to its members and their needs. Let us create such opportunities. We are only known by what we give or by what we create! When we only participate, we often speak about others and their deeds. But when we play, others participating will speak about us. My compliments to the Clubs in your Region for the outstanding work they have done during this year and to the team of Zone Chairpersons for the contributions they have made. May this Region Conference spark off new avenues for members and Clubs to add glory to Lionism. With fond regards, Sincerely yours Sunil Kumar R

Melvin Jones Melvin Jones FOUNDER OF Lions Clubs International Melvin Jones was born on January 13, 1879, at Fort Thomas Arizona. At age 33 he was the sole owner of his own insurance agency in Chicago, Illinois and became a member of the local business circle. After two years, he felt that as influential businessmen, their talents could be better utilized in other areas of community life. In 1917 after pursuing this thought for four years they formed what is now known as LIONS CLUBS INTERNATIONAL with 27 clubs from around the United States. The Association became international in 1920, when the Lions of Detroit chartered the Windsor Ontario Lions Club, in Canada, In 1950, Melvin Jones was conferred the title of SECRETARY GENERAL of LIONS INTERNATIONAL for life. Since that time Lions organizations have grown to over 1.4 million members in over 46,000 clubs in 207 countries. Melvin Jones the founder of this great service organization, died in 1961. His philosophy of life, "you can't get very far until you start doing something for somebody else," lives in our motto "WE SERVE." In 1961 the International Board of Directors proclaimed January 13 (the birthday of our founder, Melvin Jones) as a day of memory each year through out the world of Lionism. Founders and Rededication month traditionally observed in January, shall thereafter be designated as Melvin Jones Memorial month.

GLOBAL MEMBERSHIP TEAM (GMT) GLOBAL LEADERSHIP TEAM (GLT) The Global Membership Team (GMT) provides a global structure for membership development which is continuous, focused, and integrated. In July 1, 2011, a Global Leadership Team counterpart was established. The Global Leadership Team (GLT) provides for an enhanced focus on leadership development, which is critical to the future vitality of our association. The GLT directs its efforts toward identifying and cultivating effective leaders through active training and leadership development initiatives, while providing necessary information, guidance and motivation. GMT MD/District/Single District teams and GLT MD/ District and Single District teams were established to replace the MERL program. This new structure was created to work in a highly interdependent manner from the international level, to the constitutional area level, the multiple district level, and to the district level for the benefit and success of the club. Members of the GMT and GLT work together to develop membership through service and engagement and also to support present Lions leaders and identify future leaders. The two teams operate as parallel structures and are connected and coordinated at the international level by an executive council The GMT/GLT executive council is led by the LCI international president, with the international first and second vice presidents overseeing and providing guidance to the GMT and GLT respectively. Both the GMT and GLT are further supported by two international coordinators and a joint operations committee composed of the chairpersons of the Membership Development Committee, the Leadership Committee and the District and Club Service Committee, as well as a team of appointed constitutional area leaders.

Vehicular Pollution
Lion P.Ramesh Chandra Babu
District Addl.Cabinet Secretary Introduction : The exhaust fumes coming out of the tail-pipe of vehicle, contains many polluting substances which is a major contributor for environmental damage and diseases. One research study says that 2.5 million people estimated to die prematurely each year from pollution related ailments. It is estimated that currently our country is losing over 10% of its GDP in costs associated with damage to the environment and degradation of the country's natural resources. Air pollution and other health hazards caused by vehicles have reached an alarming proportion in the country. The vehicle population in the country has grown from 0.3 million (1951) to 25.34 million (1993) and contributing now around 50 to 60% of the total air pollution in the cities. This is mainly contributed by cars. Two wheelers, three wheelers as they have old and ill-maintained engines, in which nearly 30% of the fuel remains unburnt. Vehicular Pollutants: The main pollutants emitted in the automobile exhaust gases are Carbon Monoxide (CO), Lead Aerosol, Nitrogen Oxides, Sulphur Oxides and heterogeneous group of Hydro Carbons. Apart from this, smoke (0.01 to 1 micron), Mists (2 to 200 micron) and particulate matter (1 to 200 micron) are also formed due to incomplete combustion and solid impurity contents of the fuel. In particular the diesel operated vehicles emit more toxic pollutants. The approximate composition of pollutants operated by diesel operated engines per km run would be, Carbon Dioxide 1 Kg/Km; Carbon Monoxide, Oxides of Nitrogen, Hydrocarbons and particulate matter 0.1 to 20 g/km and hydrocarbons in micron g / km. Effects of Pollutants : Human Health 1. Carbon Monoxide : Hinders oxygen supply from blood into the tissues as it combines with the iron in the hemoglobin and thereby replacing oxygen in the hemoglobin, leading to variety of ailments. 2. Respirable particular matter : 0.2 to 10 micron size of particulate matter can go directly into the lungs causing bronchial problems and allergic asthma. 3. Lead : has a deleterious effect on the human health. It attacks blood, kidneys and the central nervous system. It can cause anemia, kidney failure, permanent brain damage and finally death also. Environment : The pollutants such as SO2&NOx from acid rain and affects some times vegetarian, soil surfaces; darken sky through formation of smoke leading to limited visibility; corrosion of metals. Plants may be damaged by acute injury in which pollutants attach the cells resulting in chronic effects related to disruption of chlorophyll synthesis and thereby affecting the net yield of crops / fruits. Sources of Vehicular Pollution : Vehicular emissions originate from changes in the driving cycle (transient or steady state), engine
conditions (injection and aspiration techniques, maintenance, total mileage), incomplete combustion and air / fuel ration. Main places where pollution originates from the vehicle include engine crankcase, exhaust system, the carburetor and the fuel tank. The emission of particulate matter increases with decrease in air/fuel ratio, increasing load and temperature. Malfunction of engine devices, especially fuel injection system, increases the emissions of the main exhaust components. Pollution Control Measures: Following measures may be adopted to reduce emission. Modification of engine design to improve fuel combustion efficiency. Exhaust gas re-circulation for ensuring complete combustion. Use of particle traps for removing particulate matter.
Importance of Vitamin D Deficiency Today Vitamin D ratio in human body has become an important factor in maintaining an healthy and fit body and avoid dangerous diseases caused by the deficiency of this vitamin. The researchers are still not sure why this is happening apart from the fact that we spend too much time indoors and when we go out into the sun, we lather sunscreen on ourselves. I think it must be more than that. But whatever the reason, the reality is we have a major epidemic on our hands. Diseases : Vitamin D deficiency has shown to play a role in almost every major disease such as Osteoporosis and Osteopenia, 17 varieties of Cancer (including breast, prostate and colon), Heart disease, High blood pressure, Obesity, Metabolic Syndrome and Diabetes, Autoimmune diseases, Multiple sclerosis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Osteoarthritis, Bursitis, Gout, Infertility, PMS, Parkinson's Disease, Depression, Seasonal Affective Disorder, Alzheimer's Disease, Chronic fatigue syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Pain, Periodontal disease and Psoriasis. Symptoms : There is no clear pattern of symptoms. In fact many people remain asymptomatic despite low levels. But some of the most common symptoms are Fatigue, General muscle pain and weakness, Muscle cramps, Joint pains, Chronic pain, Weight gain, High blood pressure, Restless sleep, Poor concentration, Headaches, Bladder problems, Constipation or diarrhea. Vitamin Sources : The vital vitamin sources of vitamin D are sunlight, healthy cereals, fortified milk, fatty fish, butter, margarine, cheese etc. Next Step : My peer request is to rush to your nearest diagnostic centre and ensure yourself a fit and energetic health.

[Plugin: Simple Facebook Connect] Line breaks when crossposting to Facebook
(Hope i don't double post)
I would like to crosspost Haiku Poems from WordPress to Facebook
which require line breaks. Example:
Bla blabla blabla
Blabla blablabla blabla blabla
blabla bla blabla
Is there a way to transport the line break info from the blog to the facebook link, or to directly post it as a status including line break? (There is a way of posting line breaks in FB by using the Shift+Return keys, that's all i know..)
I am not skilled in programming but can put in code pieces if someone tells me how and where – or can someone spot the point, why a blogpost's line break format is erased during transport?
Any ideas are very welcome!

CARROLLTON, Texas, April 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- MB2 Dental Solutions, a dental support organization, released a new video featuring Dr. Joseph Dove, a family practice dentist passionate about providing dental care for those who are traditionally underserved. The latest video debuts as the second installment of the "We Are Dentistry" video series, which highlights the daily lives of people in dentistry in an effort to humanize dental care.
"We are thrilled to feature Dr. Dove in our 'We are Dentistry' video series," said Dr. Chris Steven Villanueva, CEO of MB2 Dental Solutions. "He does phenomenal work in his community and has a big heart not only for his patients, but for their families. Dr. Dove ensures the underserved in his community have an opportunity to receive quality dental care. He is the type of model dentist we look for to join our network of affiliated practices."
In the video, Dr. Dove describes the neighborhood he came from and how he feels an inclination to return to his community and lift others up, just as someone did for him. He focuses on bringing in patients who are not receiving proper dental care.
"Sometimes these patients feel like they're left behind from society or the world, so we want to bring those folks back in," Dr. Dove confides. "I feel like that's what we're supposed to do. These are patients who are unable to get proper access and we want to find those patients and identify them so we can bring them to the office where they can receive care in a private setting. When we talk to these patients, we talk about more than just dentistry. We try to be a resource more than just [saying] let's fix your tooth."
From the boxing ring, to motorcycles, to cooking his own twist on traditional Jamaican favorites, the video takes viewers through a lively journey of Dr. Dove's life outside the dental practice, focusing on the daily habits that help his productivity. The video highlights Dr. Dove's multiple interests and passion for his community.
"You find a way to relax because my true personality could work 7 days a week," said Dr. Dove. "My vice is relaxing and breathing. Between birth and death, there's a life to live and you have to capitalize on those moments every chance you get. It makes you a better person and then you become a better dentist."
MB2 Dental is composed of compassionate and hardworking dentists who go above and beyond to take care of their patients' dental needs while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. MB2 Dental strongly believes dentists can accomplish more together than they can individually.

ox + monkey in the Globe & Mail
Thank you Paige Magarrey and Globe and Mail for writing about the SOAK!
Inspired by designer Kez Sherwood's "love of water and fire and constant desire for a hot bath," Ox + Monkey's new Soak outdoor tub brings all the amenities together – in a gorgeous open-air setting. The tub is fabricated and welded by Jeremy Clement in the pair's workshop in southwestern British Columbia and takes its inspiration from Japanese ofuros, sharply angled, extra-deep tubs traditionally clad in wood and geared toward relaxation, not cleansing. Amply sized for bathing à deux ("It has become a ritual for us," Sherwood says) the Soak tub is made of marine-grade aluminum with a side-accessed stove fuelled by wood or propane, with a stainless steel stovepipe. An inner framework in locally harvested red cedar withstands the elements, while a drain on the side allows water to be reused in gardens. $5,600 at oxandmonkey.ca

Fort Wayne broke into the win column with a strong defensive effort in an 86-75 win over the Canton Charge on Wednesday at Memorial Coliseum. Veteran guards Walker Russell Jr. (25 points) and Ron Howard (20 points) helped pave the way, but the team also benefited from top draft pick JaJuan Johnson (16 points, 14 rebounds) and the play of newcomer Tony Mitchell.
Mitchell, a 6-foot-6 forward from the University of Alabama, scored nine points with eight rebounds, five steals, three assists and two blocks.
Howard leads the Ants with an early-season average of 23.7 points per game. Russell averages 20.3 points per game and Johnson is at 11.0 points and 10.3 rebounds.
After playing in Iowa on Saturday, the Ants have road games at Springfield on Dec. 7, Maine on Dec. 8 and Canton on Dec. 12.

York-residents are being encouraged to travel without their vehicles for a day, as part of the city's second Car Free Day initiative.
The event, to be held on September 29, is being conducted with the hope that more residents will leave their cars at home and either walk, bike, or catch a bus instead.
Organised by City of York Council and York & Ryedale Friends of the Earth, the event will witness local bus operators offering limited numbers of free bus tickets on their websites to attract more participation.
Richard Wood, assistant director for City of York Council, said: "The idea is to show motorists that there are cheaper, easier, more environmentally friendly and healthier alternatives to using the car.
"We recognise that private cars do have a place in modern life, but if people could reduce their car journeys and only use the car when it's absolutely necessary, York would be a cleaner, greener and healthier city.
"And, rather ironically, it would also mean that essential car journeys would be even quicker because of decreased congestion levels."
Traders in the Micklegate and Fossgate areas will be offering street entertainment and food stalls along with special offers for shoppers.
