I had a great stay at Delia's home. I was really busy with a conference that I was attending, so it was primarily my place to come "home" to and get a good night's sleep. The bed was very comfortable, and the room was welcoming. I loved having the pets around too. Delia was a fabulous host, the sort of person I think I would really enjoy sitting down and talking with more. The Minneapolis public transportation was very clear and easy to use. It was about a 40 minute commute (by public transit) to the convention center which was very manageable for me. Just the place I needed for this trip! Thanks, Delia!
I was very happy that I could stay with Delia. From the first moment I arrived I felt at home in her house. She took me around the first day and showed me the neighborhood and even borrowed me warm clothes to survive in cold Minnesota winter - Besides that the room was comfortable and the neighborhood super save, so I could come home in the middle of the night without having to worry.
I would defiantly stay there again if I came back to St. Paul.
I had a great time staying with Delia. The house is beautiful, Delia and my housemates are all great people and conversationalists, and the location is the perfect balance of quiet and accessible. This is a great place to stay if you want to see the cities or if you're staying longer!
Although I stayed only one night, it was a really enjoyable experience! Delia is such a cool person, very energetic, fun, knowledgeable and a great conversationalist. The house is beautiful and the room I was staying in was wonderful! Very spacious and clean bathroom, super comfortable bed and a walk-in closet. The neighborhood is very green, quiet and pretty. The house is very close to the bus stop (maybe 2-3 minute walk) and the bus can take you anywhere you need. Definitely recommend to stay here!!
Delia was very welcoming and friendly. The home was just what I was looking for with a room and private bath, plus a common area with other guests. this allowed for easy socializing when I wanted it, or privacy when that was what I preferred. I will likely use this space again if I find myself returning to St. Paul.
Delia was a great host, who has had a lot of experience with hosting people, especially visiting students at UMN. She is a warm and helpful host. Delia is also very energetic, positive, and joyful all the time. She lives with some of the most adorable and loving pets I've ever met (2 cats and 2 dogs). She has an amazing family, who come by and visit her sometime on weekends. I was lucky enough to meet and hangout with her son, Grisha, who was very nice and friendly. Overall, I had a great experience staying at Delia's place. I highly recommend her place to any visitor of St. Paul. I'll definitely come back to her place if I have to visit UMN again.
Delia has a beautiful home and is set up nicely for guests. House has an open atmosphere and international feel - international travelers were staying there during my visit, which was fun to know though I did not meet them given my short stay. Delia was very welcoming and kind. I had a very short visit, one night, but would absolutely return again!
This host has 10 reviews for other properties.View Other Reviews

She was extremely professional and diligent in her prompt replies and an incredible work ethic but the most important quality she had was her integrity. We like her, believed in her and above all else, trusted her. Awesome person - a consummate professional. Bob R.

Lynn added expertise with helpful information at all steps in the process. Had suggestions for services we needed at her finger tips for remodel estimates and information, for example. Highly recommended!
We recently purchased a condo from out of state for our college student who is already in Pittsburgh. I found Lynn on some website with excellent reviews. Lynne seemed to understand what we want very well and soon after my first phone call, she found a perfect property. I did not come in to Pittsburg at all until after closing, but she made the whole process very easy for us. She went to the property as soon as it was put on the market despite of the very bad weather, arranged the inspection in a timely manner, and negotiated well so that we could get it within our budget even though the property was in a great condition and in a very desirable location. She was very personable and always responsive. I cannot thank enough for her thoroughness and professionalism. She is truly amazing. I would highly recommend Lynn without reservation.
We just purchased our new house! Lynn is our agent. I saw her information in the website of Zillow. I called her on the day before Chirstmas eve. I didn't expect her to take me to the house on Chirstmas eve. But she agreed! That is Lynn. She is working very hard. Sometimes I'm even wondering she should take more rest! We lost the first house. She told us we should offer a little higher if we really wanted this house. We didn't because we thought we might have chances too. But we failed. So I think we should trust her more. This house we have now also had a multiple offer. We finally got it With her help. She is a nice person, more like a good friend, a sweet heart. I always missed my mom when I saw her! If you want to buy a house, I recommend Lynn. She is a very good agent. But remember every agent is not perfect. You even couldn't expect too much from your mom. Hope you agree with me. What you need to do is to find a good one. And you need to tell her what you want and what you don't want. Remember communication is very important!
I never met Ms Niman. That wasn't from lack of trying. I contacted her to assist me in buying a home in Pittsburgh. I live in Washington state so I told her that I needed to arrange a cross-country trip to begin my search. She agreed to assist me so, in response, I told her I would go ahead and arrange my trip, gave her the dates I planned to be in Pittsburgh, and provided my contact hotel information. After getting my logistics in place including non-refundable tickets, I contacted Ms. Niman again to confirm my trip plans and to begin planning my search. During the following three or four weeks, she did not respond to my requests for contact. I panicked and finally found another agent. The day before I was leaving to go to Pittsburgh, Ms. Niman finally deigned to respond to my prior requests for contact. My feeling was that I was being treated with disrespect and being patronized. She may have great knowledge of Pittsburgh but in my book being helpful, providing service, being responsive (a couple of days is fine but a few weeks? really?) are the hallmarks of a good agent. She was not helpful, she did not provide service, she was not responsive.
I bought and sold with Lynn. She is professional, knowledgeable, quick to respond, good at her job, and personable. She works very hard for you, she would often send us emails at 2 in the morning. When people were slow to respond she would call them 5 times a day.
Both our sale and purchase went perfectly due to her communication and hard work. We bought a house in Squirrel Hill in a very competitive market and she successfully guided us through a multiple bid situation.
I don't even know if I have the words to describe how great Lynn was in our complicated home purchase. She is without a doubt the hardest working and knowledgeable agent that I've ever worked with. She really goes the extra mile and chooses to do so because she really loves what she does. We were in the process of moving to the Pitt area from overseas, so about 2 months before our arrival we started looking for potential agent to help us find a home in a short amount of time. I found Lynn after reading the great reviews from her Trulia page and contacted her immediately to start our process. I can personally confirm that the positive reviews are justified. She is absolutely tireless and would answer or return all forms of communication promptly and thoroughly, even if she probably thought that I was crazy at times with some of my ideas. We started working with Lynn as early as possible so that she had an idea of what we were looking for. We finally arrived to the Pitt area, and even though it was right at the Christmas and NY holiday time she took time away from her own family to show us a bunch of houses. Well, we quickly found a house which we got under contract but the story doesn't end there. To make a long story short, the sellers backed out of the sale two weeks before closing leaving us with no home and rising bills. Lynn then worked with us to start the process all over again and we started viewing houses almost every day through weekdays and weekends in an effort to find another home. She contacted colleagues for information on houses that had just been listed so we had a better idea of their history before we viewed them in the hope of saving a little time. Well the good news is that we found a home that would be a much better fit for my family then the house we originally had on contract and it was all due to Lynn's intelligence and work ethic. My family didn't just gain a new home and an outstanding agent; we gained a friend.
Lynn makes the home-buying experience so comfortable. She is very helpful. She really listens to what you want and works very hard to get it for you. She's honest and down to earth. She gives good advice without being too pushy. We would use her as our agent again in a heartbeat!
My wife and I worked with Lynn for approximately 4 months to find our first home. During that time Lynn always shared great insight into the real estate market and her professional opinion of each home we viewed.
Being first time home buyers we constantly had questions. Lynn responded via email, phone or text at all hours of the day/night in a very timely manner. Additionally, if Lynn did not have best answer she knew someone that could help. For example, Lynn recommended a fantastic Mortgage Adviser who was always there to assist with the financial questions.
As Lynn could not be at our closing (due to the one vacation she has taken in several years) she still made sure to follow up with us from the airport and ensure the closing was going smoothly.
From start to finish Lynn was always there to help in any way possible and she made the first time home buying experience a pleasure!
Lynn was the second realtor that my wife and I worked with when buying our first home. After less than satisfactory experience with the first Lynn was much, much better. She was very responsive (I'm not sure she ever sleeps), patient with us being new to the entire process, willing to look at a number of houses with us, and offered helpful advice when looking at houses. She also knows her area (northern Pittsburgh suburbs) very well. She also helped us figure out where our offers on varuious houses we tried to buy/bought needed to be. We eventually found our house and Lynn made the closing process quite manageable.
If we ever have to move again and look for another house (please god no) I'd work with Lynn again in a heartbeat.

1707 - Eixample Rocafort VI Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain
Additional Location Information
Eixample is Catalan for ´extension´, meaning an extension of the old Barcelona city. Eixample was designed by Catalan-born urban planning visionary, Ildefons Cerdà, who took traffic and sunlight (amongst many other things) into consideration when creating the plans for this new district.
Eixample is now characterised by its octagonal blocks and its grid-like pattern, with wide streets and both commercial and residential areas. It is split into two parts, Eixample Esquerra (Left, or in Spanish, Izquierdo) and Eixample Dret (Right, or in Spanish, Derecho), both of which are home to some fantastic restaurants and stores.
Eixample Izquierdo is delimited by the grand, Passeig de Gràcia, a paradise for shopping and dining, and Plaça d´Espanya, where the Montjuïc Magic Fountain and one of the biggest convention centres in Barcelona can be found. The Parc de Joan Miró, with its iconic ´Woman and Bird´ sculpture created by the Barcelona-born artist, is also situated here, as well as the Arenas shopping centre, which was once a bull-fighting ring.
An apartment in Eixample Izquierdo is a great choice for your stay in Barcelona, due to its unbeatable public transportation services and its location, close to some of the best sights and attractions in Barcelona.

The 'Silli' effect hold the surprise element in Ranchi
Travelling from Ranchi, there is an area 6-7 km ahead of Silli town called Chordera — the place where thieves live, literally. However, on many buildings that have come up in the area since 2010 — a guest house and a multimedia theatre of the forest department, the area is called Ramdera — where Ram lives. In land records, the area continues to be Chordera, but if you are from Silli — and especially if you are a supporter of local MLA Sudesh Kumar Mahto — the area is now fit for the gods.
AJSU Party, of which Mahto (40) is president, is quite literally promising the biblical for Jharkhand. "I want our land to have an abundance of milk, honey, flowers and fruits," begins the party's manifesto, under the title 'My Dream'. To prove that they walk the talk, AJSU Party points to Silli.
That the fight for Ranchi Lok Sabha constituency — which votes on April 17 — would be a messy affair was a foregone conclusion. While former Union Minister Subodh Kant Sahai is trying to complete a hat-trick of wins with the Congress, the BJP brought back old warhorse and four-time consecutive MP Ram Tahal Choudhary.
The influential president of the Jharkhand State Cricket Association and former ADG of Police Amitabh Choudhary, a bald man, is the candidate of Babulal Marandi's JVM(P), whose electoral symbol, ironically, is the comb. Mandar MLA and former state minister Bandhu Tirkey, who merged his party with the TMC, is another candidate.
However, all of them had to rework their caste, tribal and religious vote bank calculations as soon as Sudesh Mahto entered the fray. "Everybody could forget getting votes from Silli — and maybe even Ichagarh — assembly constituencies for starters," said a Congress leader.
The BJP seemed to be the worst-hit by Sudesh's decision — Choudhary is a Kurmi, the same caste which forms Mahto's base in Silli. The BJP was quick to point fingers at the Congress, alleging that Mahto was a dummy candidate. If he ever was one, Mahto gave sweaty palms even to the Congress as campaign ended on April 15, with little to choose between the BJP, Congress and AJSU Party.
Wearing shorts and sitting cross-legged on the floor of his camp office in Silli on the morning of the last day of campaigning, Mahto was preparing to address a rally elsewhere.
"We do work throughout the year. I am here all the time. I do not need to make last-minute runs through Silli," he said. Silli is that rare place in Jharkhand where one would hear the words, "We do not lack anything," even if it was spoken by a supporter. "Silli ko …continued »

Mushroom has been used for consumption as product for a long time due to their flavor and richness in protein. Mushrooms are also known as mycoremediation tool because of their use in remediation of different types of pollutants. Mycoremediation relies on the efficient enzymes, produced by mushroom, for the degradation of various types of substrate and pollutants. Besides waste degradation, mushroom produced a vendible product for consumption. However, sometimes they absorb the pollutant in their mycelium (biosorption process) and cannot be consumed due to absorbed toxicants. This article reviews the achievement and current status of mycoremediation technology based on mushroom cultivation for the remediation of waste and also emphasizes on the importance of mushroom as product. This critical review is also focused on the safety aspects of mushroom cultivation on waste.
Keywords:Biodegradation; Bioremediation; Genotoxicity; Biosorption; Mushroom; Ames test; Product; Industrial waste; Agroindustrial waste; Bioconversion
Biological approaches based on industrial and environmental biotechnology is focusing on the development of "clean technologies" which emphasizes on the maximum production, reduced waste generation, treatment and conversion of waste in some useful form. Further, these clean technologies focus on the use of biological methods for the remediation of waste. One such biological method is mycoremediation which is based on the use of fungi and mushroom for the removal of waste from the environment. The mushrooms and other fungi possess enzymatic machinery for the degradation of waste/pollutants and therefore, can be applied for a wide variety of pollutants (Purnomo et al. [2013]; Kulshreshtha et al. [2013]). However, mushrooms, a basidiomycetous fungus, are becoming more popular nowadays for remediation purposes because it is not only a bioremediation tool but also provide mycelium or fruiting bodies as a source of protein. The efficiency of mushroom species in producing food protein in the form of biomass or fruiting bodies from different wastes lies in their ability to degrade waste via secretion of a variety of hydrolyzing and oxidizing enzymes (Kuforiji and Fasidi [2008]; Zhu et al. [2013]). This has attracted research attention in the field of mushroom cultivation and waste remediation.
Many reports have published to emphasize the role of mushroom in bioremediation of wastes by the process of biodegradation, biosorption and bioconversion (Akinyele et al. [2012], Kulshreshtha et al. [2013a]; Kumhomkul and Panich-pat [2013]; Lamrood and Ralegankar [2013]). Many scientists have studied the role of different enzymes in the degradation process; degradation products formed by it and conditions affecting the degradation process (Novotný et al. [2004]; Akinyele et al. [2011]; Zhu et al. [2013]). However, safety aspects of the process and products have not been reported so far. There is scarcity of reports indicating the pros and cons of mushroom cultivation on wastes and their further utilization as food. Moreover, mushroom as a product is meagerly reported.
Keeping this in mind, in this review we are discussing the use of mushroom as a biological tool for cleanup the environment. Mushroom is not only a mycoremediation tool but also a product. Mushroom fruiting bodies generated on industrial and agro-industrial wastes are considered as a product. We have also focused on the safety aspects of mushroom cultivation on waste.
Mushroom as a product
Mushrooms are the product of biological origin and can be developed from biological wastes, agricultural wastes, agro-industrial wastes and industrial wastes. Besides this, these mushrooms can be used as a source of proteins, amino acids and several biological active molecules which not only provide nutrition but also use for therapeutic purposes (Table 1). Therefore, these can be considered as an important product.
Table 1. Role of mushroom as an important product
Edible mushrooms are highly nutritious and can be compared with eggs, milk and meat (Oei [2003]). Mushroom is a protein rich food and has been considered as the source of single cell protein. These are easily digestible and possess a high amount of amino acids but lacks cholesterol. These possess high quantities of fibers, few sugars and low calories and a high quantity of the amino acids phenylalanine, threonine and tyrosine.
As far as the nutrient profile of mushroom are concerned, these are influenced by many factors including the type of substrate on which these are cultivated. There are some differences in the nutrient content of the mushroom cultivated on different substrates (Mabrouk and Ahwanyi [2008]; Akinyele et al. [2011]; Kulshreshtha et al. [2013b]). However, this change in nutritional content never found to affect their edibility. Therefore, it is still a beneficial technology because it solves two major problems simultaneously i.e. waste accumulation and shortage of proteinaceous food.
Besides, use for edible purpose, mushroom is used for other industrial processes like biopulping and biobleaching. Hence, the importance of this as product cannot be ignored.
Mushroom as mycoremediation tool
Remediation through fungi is also called as mycoremediation. Mycoremediation tool refers to mushrooms and their enzymes due to having ability to degrade a wide variety of environmentally persistent pollutants, transform industrial and agro-industrial wastes into products.
Mycoremediation potential of mushroom
Mushroom uses different methods to decontaminate polluted spots and stimulate the environment. These methods include - (i) Biodegradation (ii) Biosorption (iii) Bioconversion.
The term 'Biodegradation' is used to describe the ultimate degradation and recycling of complex molecule to its mineral constituents. It is the process which leads to complete mineralization of the starting compound to simpler ones like CO2, H2O, NO3 and other inorganic compounds by living organisms. A lot of research has been done on the degradation abilities of mushroom and their enzymes and is depicted in Table 2. Many reports have been published on the compounds produced by degradation of various wastes and factor affecting the processes.
Table 2. Role of mushroom in degradation of pollutants
Mushroom can produce extracellular peroxidases, ligninase (lignin peroxidase, manganese dependent peroxidase and laccase), cellulases, pectinases, xylanases and oxidases (Nyanhongo et al. [2007]). These are able to oxidize recalcitrant pollutants in vitro. These enzymes are typically induced by their substrates.
These enzymes have also been found to degrade nonpolymeric, recalcitrant pollutants such as nitrotoluenes (VanAcken et al. [1999]), PAHs (Hammel et al. [1991]; Johannes et al. [1996]), organic and synthetic dyes (Ollikka et al. [1993]; Heinfling et al. [1998]), and pentachlorophenol (Lin et al. [1990]) under in vitro conditions. Recently, it is reported that mushroom species are able to degrade polymers such as plastics (da Luz et al. [2013]).
The biodegradation mechanism is very complex. The reason is the influence of other biochemical systems and interactions of ligninolytic enzymes with cytochrome P450 monooxygenase system, hydroxyl radicals and the level of H2O2 which are produced by the mushroom.
The second important process of removal of metals/pollutants from the environment by mushroom is - biosorption. Biosorption is considered as an alternative to the remediation of industrial effluents as well as the recovery of metals present in effluent. Biosorption is a process based on the sorption of metallic ions/pollutants/xenobiotics from effluent by live or dried biomass which often exhibits a marked tolerance towards metals and other adverse conditions (Gavrilescu [2004]). Biosorbents can be prepared from mushroom mycelium and spent mushroom compost.
The uptake of pollutants/xenobiotics by mushrooms involves a combination of two processes: (i) bioaccumulation i.e. active metabolism-dependent processes, which includes both transport into the cell and partitioning into intracellular components; and (ii) biosorption i.e. the binding of pollutants to the biomass without requiring metabolic energy. Several chemical processes may be involved in biosorption, including adsorption, ion exchange processes and covalent binding. According to Mar'in et al. ([1997]), the polar groups of proteins, amino acids, lipids and structural polysaccharides (chitin, chitosan, glucans) may be involved in the process of biosorption.
A lot of study has been done on the biosorptive capacity of biomass of mushroom and are shown in Table 3. It is reported that the biosorption capacity of dead biomass may be greater, similar to or less than that of living cells (Mar'in et al. [1997]). In the case of biosorption, dead biomass of mushroom offers certain advantages over living cells. Dead mushroom biomass can be obtained from industries as a waste of fermentation processes. Further, this is not sensitive to concentrations of toxicants and their toxicity effects and adverse operating conditions (pH, temperature, nutrient supply, initial metal ion concentration, and the concentration of cells etc.) unlike living mushroom biomass. The uptake of xenobiotic by living cells depends on fungal species and contact time. Biosorption techniques are now becoming very popular for the removal of pollutants. Biosorption is an effective method due to the high uptake capacity and very cost-effective source of the raw material.
Table 3. Removal of pollutants by biomass of mushroom using biosorption process
Nowadays, the research on conversion of industrial or agro-industrial sludges into some other useful forms is going on. The most important bioconversion product is - mushroom. Any lignocellulosic waste, generated by industries, can be used for cultivation of mushroom which can be further use as a product. Mushroom species cultivated on industrial and agro-industrial wastes are given in Table 4. The choice of the substrate for the cultivation of mushroom is generally determined by the regional availability of the material.
Table 4. Bioconversion of waste by mushroom species
Mushroom cultivation has also been successfully done on various industrial wastes (Singhal et al. [2005]; Kulshreshtha et al. [2010]; Dulay et al. [2012] and Kulshreshtha et al. [2013b]). Applications of mushroom as mycoremediation tool in the bioconversion of these industrial wastes into protein rich mushroom carpophores (fruiting bodies of mushroom), on one hand provides mushroom and on the other hand helps in solving pollution problems, which their disposal may otherwise cause.
Feasibility of the mycoremediation tool and processes
It is extremely important to carry out feasibility study before starting a remediation project in order to determine the best conditions for the process and toxicity in the fruiting bodies. The most important parameters to define a contaminated site are: biodegradability, contaminant distribution, chemical reactivity of the contaminants, soil type and properties, oxygen availability and occurrence of inhibitory substances (Martín et al. [2004]). The success of mycoremediation is governed by three important factors- availability of mushroom, accessibility of contaminants and a conductive environment. Therefore, the knowledge on the physiology and ecology of the biological species or consortia involved and the characteristics of the polluted sites are decisive factors to select an adequate mycoremediation protocol (Martín et al. [2004]).
Mycoremediation of waste from the environment by mushroom has many advantages but at the same time it is a challenge for the researchers and engineers. Mycoremediation of wastes can be done in in situ and ex situ conditions. When it is carried out on site, it eliminates the need to transport the toxic materials to treatment sites. It is an environmentally friendly approach and needs only a small space, low cost, less skilled persons and can be applied easily in the field. In contrast to above, there are some disadvantages in applying this mycoremediation tool. Mushrooms require time to adapt to the environment and cleanup wastes. Mushroom cultivated on industrial wastes may possess toxicity/genotoxicity. Genotoxicity of mushrooms is influenced by genotoxicants that are present in waste used for their cultivation. Therefore, it is necessary to assess toxicity/genotoxicity of mushrooms if used for bioremediation purpose.
Toxicity level in the fruiting bodies is based on two facts, i.e. biodegradation and biosorption. Mushroom possesses the suitable enzymatic machinery for biodegradation which lead to the degradation of pollutants from the substrate and convert it into less toxic products. This renders the fruiting bodies safe for consumption. Recently, many papers have published which reported that mushroom not only able to degrade pollutants but also able to reduce the toxicity or mutagenicity (Kulshreshtha et al. [2013b]; Choi et al. [2013]; Malachová et al. [2006]). Numerous studies stated that mutagenicity reduction by mushrooms is primarily species dependent. Kulshreshtha et al. ([2011]) and Kulshreshtha et al. ([2013b]) reported Pleurotus florida was not found to have genotoxicity, however, Pleurotus citrinopileatus have had genotoxicity in their fruiting bodies when both were cultivated on industrial wastes and the mixture of wheat straw and industrial wastes under the same cultivation conditions.
Toxicity reduction is also dependent on the substrate. Same fungi may have different capability in degrading the different pollutants (Choi et al. [2013]) due to the enzymes of mushrooms that are not only involved in degradation but also reducing the effects of toxic and genotoxic pollutants. Several researchers have proved the antimutagenic and antigenotoxic power of mushroom (Mendez-Espinoza et al. [2013]; Taira et al. [2005]; Mlinaric et al. [2004]; Filipic et al. [2002]; Menoli et al. [2001]) which may be used to reduce the genotoxicity of the pollutants. Therefore, it is proved that besides having degradation power mushrooms can reduce the genotoxicants and toxic pollutants due to having antimutagenic and antigenotoxic power. These types of species of mushroom can be used for edible purposes and as feed for animals. This concept provides a natural guide to future research which should be focused on the need of research to degrade the pollutants in such a way that their disposal will not create another problem and fruiting bodies can be consumed safely. In contrast to this, absorption of pollutants by mushroom makes them unsuitable for consumption. Many researchers have reported the very high amount of metal content and mutagenicity in the fruiting bodies of mushrooms growing on polluted substrate, naturally or artificially, which is due to the absorption process (Tables 3 and 5). Wild Further information is needed about the level of toxicity in these mushrooms, ignorance of which will cause the associated health related problems.
Table 5. Mutagenicity of naturally occurring and cultivated mushroom species detected by Ames test
Biosorption can become a good tool to remediate toxic metals threatening the environment (Lamrood and Ralegankar [2013]) but on the other hand, this process generates non-consumable biomass which gives rise to the new problem of disposing it. Usually researchers have been focused on the use of mushroom mycelium for biosorption and compare the abilities of biomass for sorption (Table 3). A very few publications reported the reason of varying power of biosorption to various types of mushroom (Kumhomkul and Panich-pat [2013]; Das [2005]). This fact may be a decisive factor for further use of mushroom species.
It is proved that mushrooms have different abilities of biosorption, bioremediation, biodegradation and toxicity reduction. In my opinion, researchers should try to first remediate the heavy metals by cultivating high metal absorbing species of mushroom. However, low absorbing edible species can be used to cultivate on waste so that absorption of the pollutants can be minimized. Researchers should also try to develop the method of using biomass repeatedly for the biosorption of pollutants which will also reduce the waste generation. The toxicity or genotoxicity of these mushroom species should be assessed and thereafter, non-toxic mushroom species can be used for consumption. However, in the case of remediation of pollutants preference should be given to those species which can degrade the pollutants. The safe species will be selected to remediate a particular type of waste and further use for consumption.
Mushroom is a tremendous boon to the idea of using this for mycoremediation process as a real-world solution. The cultivation of edible mushroom on agricultural and industrial wastes may thus be a value added process capable of converting these discharges, which are otherwise considered to be wastes, into foods and feeds. Besides producing nutritious mushroom, it reduces genotoxicity and toxicity of mushroom species. Mycoremediation through mushroom cultivation will alleviate two of the world's major problems i.e. waste accumulation and production of proteinaceous food simultaneously. Thus, there is a need for further research towards the exploitation of potential of mushroom as bioremediation tool and its safety aspects for consumption as product.

Actually a vetch, this cool-weather crop matures in early summer, when other beans are just getting started.
When to Start: early spring (in USDA Zones 9 and warmer, plant in fall)
At Their Best: early summer
Time to Complete: 30 minutes for sowing
Materials Needed:
- fava bean seeds (also called broad beans)
- dibber
- wooden pegs
- string
- garden stakes
Sow Seed
Peg out a length of string and make holes along its length, 1 to 2 inches deep, 4 to 6 inches apart, and drop a single seed into the base of each one. Mark out and sow successive rows at 12-inch intervals. Refill the holes with soil and water the seeds in well.
Support Plants
Fava beans can grow up to 4 feet tall and become heavily laden with pods, which can cause the plants to collapse. To prevent this, support the plants by using garden stakes and string to make an open frame around them, particularly in windy areas.
Pinch Out Growing Tips
To reduce the risk of aphid damage, snap off the soft tips of the bean plants once they have started to produce pods.
Fava beans are usually ready to harvest 2-1/2 months after planting. Check the pods regularly, and pick them once they're clearly swollen with beans but still look glossy. Once the pods turn leathery, the beans inside are still edible but tough.

Hokie Tracks Are All Smiles
25 More Days... via VTPhreak4evr
Rivals.com ranks the Hokies 12th in their 120 countdown. They echo HokieJoe3's modest and reasonable expectations for Logan Thomas.
Thomas has garnered all sorts of hype, and his size and athleticism have even resulted in some comparisons to Cam Newton. But no reasonable fan should expect Thomas to replicate Taylor's 2010 season, let alone Newton's Heisman-winning campaign.
Rivals preview isn't hurrying the next Hype-O-Meter off the presses (or exported out of Photoshop as it were). I'll be happy if Logan just mitigates rookie mistakes and takes command of the huddle.
Virginia Tech had 32 takeaways and only 13 giveaways last season to lead the nation in turnover margin. It will be interesting to see if the Hokies take care of the ball equally well this season now that they are inexperienced in their backfield.
Positive turnover margin (+2 BC, +2 NC State, 0 WF, +1 Duke, 0 GT, +6 UNC, +5 Miami, +1 UVa, +2 FSU), that's how Tech overcame the shortcomings of a young and average-at-best defense last season to win the ACC. The ball never bounces the same way twice, so I'm not banking on us leading the nation again.

In general the quad is good. I love the combination of shades and amazing pigmintation,but the texture… The peachy and mint shades with frost finish are very soft, but they fall out if you apply too much and can fade especially when you apply them to the eye area zone. The next two are matte: warm purple with powdery texture and kind of cool taupe which is little dry. All shades are easy to apply and blend. The are long-wearing especially matte shades ( I use eyeshadow base). I recommend this quad if you are looking for interesting combination, good quality and great packaging.
Guerlain Les Tendres (503) Eyeshadow Palette ($63.00 for 0.25 oz.) is described as an "iridescent ivory, satiny nude, matte violet-plum, [and] aquatic green." Guerlain has certainly put out some interesting color combinations out over the years. There's often something just a little unusual about the palette colors, and yet, they work seamlessly together. They come together beautifully without a lot of effort on the user's part. In general, pigmentation could have been more intense from the get-go, but all of the shades were buildable as I applied them to the lid to opaque color. All four shades wore well without creasing or fading for eight hours on me (no primer), though the plum shade faded slightly faster than the others. The textures of the four hues were also incredibly soft, finely-milled, and easy to blend. I wish it was slightly more pigmented across the board, but I really liked how it applied, so it left me rather torn.

Bulgaria's Sveshtari Thracian Tomb Celebrated Life
Over the year, Bulgarian archaeologists have made important new discoveries about the Thracian Tomb of Sveshtari, announced archaeologist Prof. Diana Gergova.
Among the most amazing discoveries was the fact that a golden casket discovered last year was placed on a powerful living tree in one of the tombs.
In ancient pagan Europe, strong trees were symbols of life and growth, and links between the terrestrial realm and the realm of gods.
"This mound is really unique compared to the other mounds in the site. Within it, we found new data for animal sacrifices, too," said Gergova, as quoted by the Focus Radio.
Gergova argued that the important findings in the area mandate the creation of a museum at the site to display some of the items and tell their story.
The Sveshtari or Sboryanovo Thracian site was first discovered in 1982, nearby the Muslim holy site Demir Baba Teke near the town of Isperih, in Bulgaria's northeaster Razgrad region.
The facilities at the site have been left by the Getae, whose major city of Helis is believed to have been located nearby.
In 2012, archaeologists retrieved a major golden treasure at Sboryanovo.
