Thursday, May 16, 2024
Tomorrow is my last day of the academic year! I will take/present my finals and be done with school until August! I will still be studying of course to prepare for next year as well as my level 9 history exam, but I cannot believe that tomorrow is the last day of my first year of high school!
On another note, not only have most of my pens run out of ink, but all of my wite-outs are out too! That's why you see scribbles on my geometry practice test in the photo. Yes, I DO make mistakes and quite often! This is why I always check my work before having it graded because my biggest mistake is miscalculations! I forget about the negative sign or I accidentally add when I should subtract. Sometimes, my brain goes blank on easy simplifying for expressions (mostly quadratics) or I'll mix up a formula. This is why I have no wite-out left!
Julien drove me to ballet and picked me up again! Because I have a packed schedule right now, I still don't get to spend the time with him that I like. BUT that will change next week when I am done with school during the day! I wonder what we will do! Right now, I must focus on studying for my finals, and that means getting a good night's sleep tonight. Therefore, I shall bid you adieu! ¡Hasta mañana! 晚安!
Tasks Completed:
Geometry - Completed practice test for final exam (91%... ew but it's still an A)
Lit and Comp II - Reviewed Unit 24 vocabulary + studied notes + emailed non-fiction writing assignment to Mom for grading (58/60)
Spanish 2 - Completed vocabulary test portion of my final (100%) + reviewed verb conjugations for all tenses + grammar notes
Bible I - Read Matthew 27
World History - Completed edits on final presentation + practiced presentation with my brother
Biology with Lab - Reviewed notes and study guides + finished lab report for germination lab
Foundations - Read more on wisdom + watched a TEDtalk on grit + read about the difference between western and eastern cultures education styles
Piano - Practiced for two hours in one hour split sessions
Khan Academy - Completed High School Geometry daily mastery challenge + completed High School Biology daily mastery challenge and course challenge (57%, but in my defense, it asked a lot of questions about things that I didn't study in my biology course or on KA, since I didn't complete every unit or lesson in the KA biology course, and those were the majority of the missed questions)
CLEP - None today
Streaming - Watched Empire Games Episode 6
Duolingo - Studied for approximately 45 minutes (Spanish [primarily], French, Chinese) + completed daily quests
Reading - Read pages 245-274 of The Weight of Our Sky by Hanna Alkaf and finished the book

GOD CAN NOT LIE 1
“GOD IS NOT A MAN, THAT HE SHOULD LIE, Nor a son of man, THAT HE SHOULD REPENT. Has He said, AND WILL HE NOT DO? Or HAS He spoken, AND WILL HE NOT MAKE IT GOOD?"
Numbers 23:19 (NKJV)
23 THEREFORE IF YOU BRING YOUR GIFT TO THE ALTAR, and there remember that your BROTHER [sister] has something against you,
24 LEAVE YOUR GIFT THERE BEFORE THE ALTAR, and go your way. FIRST BE RECONCILED TO YOUR BROTHER [sister], AND THEN COME AND OFFER YOUR GIFT."
Matthew 5:22-24 (NKJV)
• If you had been Giving, but you had not experienced the commensurate Return on what you had been Giving; there could be a reason for it.
- God cannot lie, He is a faithful God. The principle of Giving works! It produces results, when it is done as instructed in God's Word.
- The principle is a cardinal principle in
the Kingdom of God on earth. It is one of the mysteries, hidden truths, of the Kingdom.
- For the principle of Giving to work and produce results, you have to abide by the laws that govern it. Some Believers do give, but do not experience Return. WHAT could have been the cause?
• You have to consider these basic things while you are sowing your SEEDS:
(i) You consider the quality of the seed you are sowing.
WHATEVER you wanted to give should be what God has demanded for, and it should be a quality one:
6 “A son honours his father, and a slave his master. If I AM A FATHER, where is the honour due me? IF I AM A MASTER, WHERE IS THE RESPECT DUE ME?” says the LORD Almighty. “It is you priests who show contempt for my name. “BUT you ask, ‘HOW have we shown CONTEMPT for your NAME?’ 7 “BY OFFERING DEFILED FOOD ON MY ALTAR. “BUT you ask, ‘HOW have we defiled you?’ “BY saying that the LORD’s table is contemptible. 8 WHEN YOU OFFER BLIND ANIMALS FOR SACRIFICE, IS THAT NOT WRONG? WHEN YOU SACRIFICE LAME OR DISEASED ANIMALS, IS THAT NOT WRONG? TRY offering them to your governor! WOULD he be pleased with you? WOULD he accept you?” says the LORD Almighty" (Malachi 1:6-8 NKJV). (Also see verses 13 and 14).
(ii) You would need to consider the Land that the seed is being sown.
WHATEVER you wanted to sow or give, should be sown or planted in a good soil—a fertile land. In other words, the ministry or the life of the minister or person you wanted to sow the seed matters.
(iii) You also consider the timings.
IF you planted your Seed at the wrong time or season of the year, your seed and effort might be wasted.
a. You must be prompt in obeying. Do it at the time which God has commanded you to do it. There should be no procrastinating. When God called on Abraham to offer his son, Isaac, he was prompt about it. When he was told by God, the next morning of it, he was Set on his way to the place of Sacrifice. HE did not even deliberate with his wife on it, he was just passionate about doing God's Will—obeying Him (Genesis 22:1-3).
b. If the timing of the planting of your seed is wrong, there would be no harvest. If you planted a seed at the dry season of the year, when there was no rain, how would the seed germinate and bear fruits?
c. You are expected to be obedient to all His instructions, before you can experience a bountiful harvest.
• That said, there are some other things you would need to consider also:
I. You must know your assignment, know what God has called you to do and be faithful in doing it.
a. Even in the secular work, you still need God's leading, for you to prosper in whatever you do—vocation or business. b. God told Isaac to sow in the time of famine, and that he should remain in Gerah, and should not go down to Egypt (Genesis 26:1-6,12-14).
c. He became the Envy of the people of that land, because he obeyed God by remaining in the land where God said to be and he was blessed by Him and became prosperous:
12 THEN ISAAC SOWED IN THAT LAND, AND REAPED IN THE SAME YEAR A HUNDREDFOLD; AND THE LORD BLESSED HIM. 13 THE man began to PROSPER, and CONTINUED PROSPERING until he became VERY PROSPEROUS; 14 FOR he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a great number of servants. SO THE PHILISTINES ENVIED HIM" (Genesis 26:12-14 NKJV).
d. You cannot just move to a city or Nation, thinking you would prosper there as a Believer, when you actually did not know God's mind about it (Proverbs 3:5,6).
e. You cannot just prosper anywhere, as a Believer, you have to submit to God's Leadership; except you have not fully submitted and surrendered your life to Him:
13 LOOK here, you who say, “TODAY OR TOMORROW WE ARE GOING TO A CERTAIN TOWN AND WILL STAY THERE A YEAR. WE WILL DO BUSINESS THERE AND MAKE A PROFIT.” 14 HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR LIFE WILL BE LIKE TOMORROW? YOUR life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone. 15 WHAT YOU OUGHT TO SAY IS, “IF THE LORD WANTS US TO, WE WILL LIVE AND DO THIS OR THAT.” 16 OTHERWISE YOU ARE BOASTING ABOUT YOUR OWN PRETENTIOUS PLANS, AND ALL SUCH BOASTING IS EVIL" (James 4:13-16 NLT).
f. You have to be where God wanted you to be; town, city, or Nation, before you CAN prosper.
II. Faith is an important factor as well.
- You give by faith and receive by Faith.
When you planted your SEED, give as you are expected or instructed, you water what you have planted with a confession of Faith:
"WE must continue to HOLD FIRMLY TO OUR DECLARATION OF FAITH. The ONE WHO MADE THE PROMISE IS FAITHFUL" (Hebrews 10:23 GOD’S WORD Translation).
THERE is a colourful future for you!
• You will not fail in Jesus' name.
Peace!

IJMS, Vol. 24, Pages 16473: TFIIB-Related Protein BRP5/PTF2 Is Required for Both Male and Female Gametogenesis and for Grain Formation in Rice
Transcription factor IIB (TFIIB) is a general transcription factor for #RNA polymerase II, exerting its influence across various biological contexts. In the majority of eukaryotes, TFIIB typically has two homologs, serving as general transcription factors for #RNA polymerase I and III. In plants, however, the TFIIB-related protein family has expanded greatly, with 14 and 9 members in Arabidopsis and rice, respectively. BRP5/pollen-expressed transcription factor 2 (PTF2) proteins belong to a subfamily of TFIIB-related proteins found only in plants and algae. The prior analysis of an Arabidopsis atbrp5 mutant, characterized by a T-DNA insertion at the 5′ untranslated region, demonstrated the essential role of BRP5/PTF2 during the process of pollen germination and embryogenesis in Arabidopsis. Using a rice transformation system based on CRISPR/Cas9 technology, we have generated transgenic rice plants containing loss-of-function frameshift mutations in the BRP5/PTF2 gene. Unlike in the Arabidopsis atbrp5 mutant, the brp5/ptf2 frameshift mutations were not transmitted to progeny in rice, indicating an essential role of BRP5/PTF2 in both male and female gamete development or viability. The silencing of rice BRP5/PTF2 expression through #RNA interference (#RNAi) had little effect on vegetative growth and panicle formation but strongly affected pollen development and grain formation. Genetic analysis revealed that strong #RNAi silencing of rice BRP5/PTF2 was still transmissible to progeny almost exclusively through female gametes, as found in the Arabidopsis atbrp5 knockdown mutant. Thus, reduced rice BRP5/PTF2 expression impacted pollen preferentially by interfering with male gamete development or viability. Drawing upon these findings, we posit that BRP5/PTF2 assumes a distinct and imperative function in the realm of plant sexual reproduction. https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/24/22/16473?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=tumblr

56 french-language film recs!
I wanted to find some movies I can watch to improve my French, so I looked for films available on Kanopy (which is rly cool--if you live in the US, you can stream some movies for free if your library or school subscribes to it!) All of the following films are on Kanopy, and I imagine you can also find many of them on p*racy sites (totally not endorsing that at all no sir!). I’ve listed each film’s title along with its year and score on IMDB. I only included movies with at least 1,000 IMDB ratings and an average of at least 7/10 so they’re all reasonably acclaimed!

Lupine Publishers| The Effect of Soil Moisture Level on Growing of Two Common Bean (Phaseolus Vulgaris L) Cultivars
Lupine Publishers| Journal of Oceanography and petrochemical sciences
Abstract
The amounts of water use efficiency vary with climatic, soils and crop ability to extract water in the soil. It has been frequently reported, lack of water availability reduce the amount and yield of common bean. The aim of study was to determine the effect of soil moisture level on growth of two common bean cultivars. The study was conducted in greenhouse. The design was factorial arrangement in randomized complete block design. Forty eight treatment pots were used for two common bean cultivars. Four seeds were sown in 48 pots filled with 5cm soil depth and irrigated until water dripping through perforated base. From total pots, 24 pots selected randomly and labeled as BULGA-70 cultivar and the rest as CS-20-DK cultivar. After germination, only one uniform plant was kept and five water treatments levels, 100 % (Control), 75%, 50% and 25% were applied by field capacity. Plant height, leaf area and dry matters were measured. As results, plant height, leaf area and dry weight in both cultivars were significant to soil moisture condition. However, no significant difference was observed 100% and 75% water levels in both cultivars. Therefore, 75% water treatment level is advisable for farmers to minimize water wastage.
Abbrevations: Soil moisture; Common bean; Cultivars; Water treatment
Introduction
Common bean is one of the most important pulse crops in Ethiopia, due to its richness in protein content. Common bean is also an important crop in crop rotation due to its fixation of atmospheric nitrogen, organic matter and improving water use efficiency of the cropping system [1,2]. Crop rotations can increase crop yield than monoculture due to its diversity in plant water use, rooting pattern and crop type [3]. The beneficial effects of crop rotation include;
(i) better soil moisture use and nutrients uptake,
(ii) Reduced disease, insects, weeds and phytotoxic compounds [4]. Inadequate variable water supply has a negative effect on crop production across different climatic regions.
The problem is more prominent in tropical countries including Ethiopia and subtropical semiarid and arid climates, in which water losses through evaporation and evapotranspiration are high [5].
Drought, which can occur at any stage during plant growth, reduces pod yield and pod quality of common bean. Drought reduces the number of flowers, pod setting and leaf area in bean By 51, 63 and 60%, respectively [6]. Many study reported that drought stress at all growth stages reduces yield and yield components in bean, but the effect was worst when drought occurred during reproductive stages [7]. Although there are reports that common bean is susceptible to drought stress or water deficit, the production of this crop in many places of the world is carried out under drought stress conditions [8]. This is due to insufficient water supply by rainfall and/or irrigation. This indicated that drought stress is not only in Ethiopia but also a worldwide production constraint for common bean [9].
Therefore, Water stress has been reported to reduce the expression of many characteristics in faba beans. In common beans, accelerated maturity of crop along with reducing grain yield and mean weight of hundred seeds following water stress, have been reported [3,10]. Furthermore, common bean cultivar has reported to respond differently to soil moisture stress depending on the severity of water stress [9]. In fact, different management techniques like irrigation can contribute to the increase of grain yield under water stress conditions, but the development of tolerant cultivars becomes an efficient and economical production strategy. Therefore, this study aimed to the effect of some water stress treatments (25, 50, 75 and 100% of field capacity) on growth and development of two common bean cultivars (Bulga-70 and CS-20-DK) which were released in 1977 and 1994 respectively by Holeta Research Centre, Ethiopia.
Materials and Methods
Description of the Study Area
The study was conducted at DebreMarkos University greenhouse demonstration site in the year 2016. Debremarkos University is geographically located in DebreMarkos town at latitude and longitude of 10°20′N 37°43′E and an elevation of 2,446 meters above sea level (m.a.s.l). The annual average temperature is 18.70c while the minimum and maximum recorded temperature being 40c and 240c, respectively. Annual average rain fall ranges from 900- 1800mm. The climate condition is characterized by woyna dega (1500-2300 m.a.s.l). The soil characteristics of the study area are mainly is clay ranging from 50-73%, silt fraction 15.88%-40.21% and sand fraction 0.36-13.28.
Research Design and Sampling Procedures
The design of study was by 2*4 (two verities with four water treatment level) factorial arrangement in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with replicated in six times. Total of 48 treatment pots were arranged randomly. At beginning, four seeds were sown in 48 pots filled with soil and sand mixture of 3:1 ratio and a depth of 5cm soil depth. Irrigated the 48 pots until water is begins dripping through the perforated base. Then, from the total pots, 24 pots were selected randomly and labeled as BULGA-70 cultivar and the rest as CS-20-DK cultivar. After germination, only one uniform plant was kept in each pot throughout the experiment. Five levels of plant available water treatments of 100 % (as Control), 75%, 50% and 25% capacity by weight), imposed when the plants were established with two true leaves for the two cultivars. The pots were weighed in two days intervals to compensate the water loss by evapotranspiration and therefore, the pot soil moisture was kept at 100, 75, 50 and 25% of field capacity according to treatments.
The plant height, leaf area and leaf dry matters were measured at 35 days after planting. The leaf area, plant height and leaf dry matter was measured by using squared pare method, ruler and oven-dried for 48 hr in 600c., respectively All collected data were statistically elaborated using analysis of variance (ANOVA), followed by means separation using the Least Significant Difference (LSD) at P<0.05. All calculations were performed using SAS 9.0 software package.
Results and Discussions
Plant Height
Plant height was significantly affected by at high water stress level in both cultivars (Table 1). CS-20-DK cultivar produced the tallest plants at all water stress level. Water stress depressed plant height in both cultivars and the shortest plants were produced at higher water stress levels (Table 1). There is no a statically significance between 100% , 75% and 50% water treatment in Bulga-70, but there is significant difference between 100% and 75% with 50% water treatment in CS-20-DK cultivar (Table 1). This finding is in line with the results of Emam et al. [11] and Shenkut and Brick [12] who reported on plant height is affected by severe influence from environmental factors such as water stress.
Table 1: Effect of water stress levels on plant height (cm) of two common bean cultivars.
Mean values followed by different small letter (s) within the same row and different capital letter(s) within the same column are significantly different at p < 0.05(LSD test)
Plant leaf areas
Table 2: Effect of water stress levels on plant leaf area (cm2/plant) of two common bean cultivars.
Mean values followed by different small letter (s) within the same row and different capital letter(s) within the same column are significantly different at p < 0.05(LSD test)
Plant leaf area was significantly affected by high water stress level in both cultivars (Table 2). There is no statically difference between the two cultivars at all water stress level (Table 2). CS-20- DK produces the highest broad leafed plants at 100% and 75% water stress level. Water stress depressed plant leaf area in both cultivars and the narrow leafed plants were produced at higher water stress levels (Table 2). There is no statically significant difference between 100% and 75%, and also between 50% and 25% water stress levels in Bulga-70 cultivar but there is significant difference between 100 % and 75% with 50% and 25% water stress level. Similarly, in CS- 20-DK cultivar no statistically significant difference between 100% and 75%, but there is statistically significant between 100% and 75% with 50% and 25%.in water stress level (Table 2).
This study also in lines with finding of Emam [13], Emam et al. [11] who were reported that leaf area was reduced when the plant exposed to drought stress during vegetative growth stages. Furthermore, the study also consisted with Nielsen 1998 observed that there is significant reduction in the common bean leaf area index under drought condition. Markhart [14] also found significant reductions in the leaf area under drought condition at 23 days after planting for two bean species. The loss of leaf area which could be resulted from reduced size of younger leaves and inhibition of the expansion of developing foliage is also considered as an adaptation mechanism to moisture deficit.
Plant leaf dry weight
Plant dry weight was decreased as increased of water stress level in both cultivars (Table 3). There is no statistically significant difference between 100% and 75% water stress levels in CS-20- DK. But, there is significant difference with 50 % and 25% water stress level. There is no significant difference between 100%, 75% and 50% water treatment levels in Bulga-70 (Table 3). Water stress significantly decreased dry weight at 50% and 25% in both cultivars. The highest and the lowest percentage reductions in leaf dry weight were observed in both cultivars. Barrios et al. (2005) reported that leaf dry weight of common beans reduced when plants are exposed to drought stress. Other studies like Emam [15] and Rosales Serna et al. [16] have also reported significant differences in shoot biomass accumulation among dry bean cultivars grown under moderate to severe drought stress conditions.
Table 3: Effect of water stress levels on leaf dry weight (gm) of two common bean cultivars.
Conclusions and Recommendations
The result of this study confirm that water availability play a major role in plant height, plant leaf area and plant leaf dry weight of growing common bean. Common bean production depends mainly on soil water condition. A high level of soil water availability usually ensures an optimal common bean growth. Any restriction in the supply of irrigation water induces decrease plant growth. The impact of deficient irrigation on plant growth can be insignificant where the water stress is applied to the plant during specific growth stage that are less sensitive to moisture deficiency .The result of the study confirms these ideologies. Therefore, for effective utilization of irrigation water and optimum growth of common bean cultivars, 75% water treatment level is advisable for farmers to use so as to avoid wastage of water.

This makes sense.
So basically, when the corpus luteum degenerates, it's no longer present to make P4 and estrogen. The low P4 and estrogen trigger the pituitary to release more FSH. The FSH triggeres a cohort of follicles to start developing. The follicles secrete low levels of estrogen and inhibin, which inhibit the pituitary from releasing as much FSH. Then FSH level is low and only the follicle with the most FSH receptors can respond to such low levels of FSH, thus that follicle becomes the dominant follicle, which persists and makes more estrogen. Then the high levels of estrogen trigger the pituitary gland to release a lot of LH (and some FSH), which is the LH surge that causes ovulation. The LH surge first causes the oocyte to complete meiosis I and stop at metaphase of meiosis II, then it gets ovulated. The granulosa and theca cells that remain after ovulation become the corpus luteum (CL), which secretes P4 and estrogen. If you get pregnant, syncytiotrophoblasts make hCG, which resembles LH and can bind to the LH receptors on the CL to make sure it stays around to keep making P4 and estrogen. If you don't get pregnant, you don't have the hCG, so the CL will degenerate and the whole cycle repeats.
The text explained it this way:
Ovary—event 1: In the absence of fertilization and implantation, the corpus luteum regresses and dies (a phenomenon called luteolysis). This leads to a drastic decline in the levels of progesterone, estrogen, and inhibin A by day 24 of the menstrual cycle.
Pituitary gonadotrope—event 2: The gonadotrope perceives the end of luteal function as a release from negative feedback. This permits a rise in FSH that occurs about 2 days before the onset of menstruation. The basis for the selective increase in FSH is incompletely understood but may result from the slow frequency of GnRH pulses during the luteal phase, which is due to high progesterone levels.
Ovary—event 3: The rise in FSH levels recruits a crop of antral follicles (2 to 5 mm in diameter) to begin rapid, highly gonadotropin-dependent growth. These follicles produce low levels of estrogen and inhibin B.
Pituitary gonadotrope—event 4: The gonadotrope responds to the slowly rising levels of estrogen and inhibin B by decreasing FSH secretion. Loss of high levels of progesterone and estrogen causes an increase in the frequency of GnRH pulses, thereby selectively increasing LH synthesis and secretion by the gonadotrope. Thus the LH/FSH ratio slowly increases throughout the follicular phase.
Ovary—event 5: The ovary’s response to declining FSH levels is follicular atresia of all the recruited follicles, except for one dominant follicle. Thus the process of selection is driven by an extreme dependency of follicles on FSH in the face of declining FSH secretion. Usually, only the largest follicle with the most FSH receptors and best blood supply (i.e., most angiogenic) survives. This follicle produces increasing amounts of estradiol-17β and inhibin B during the second half of the follicular phase. FSH also induces the expression of LH receptors in the mural granulosa cells of the dominant follicle.
Pituitary gonadotrope—event 6: Once the dominant follicle causes the circulating estrogen levels to exceed 200 pg/mL for about 50 hours in women, estrogen exerts a positive feedback on the gonadotrope, producing the midcycle LH surge. This is enhanced by the small amount of progesterone starting to be made at midcycle. The exact mechanism of the positive feedback is unknown, but it occurs largely at the level of the pituitary. GnRH receptors and the sensitivity to GnRH signaling increase dramatically in the gonadotropes. The hypothalamus contributes to the gonadotropin surge by increasing the frequency of GnRH pulses. There is some evidence that other neurons in the hypothalamus (e.g., kisspeptin neurons; see Chapter 8 ) respond to high levels of estrogen by increasing the frequency and amount of GnRH released.
Ovary—event 7: The LH surge drives three general events in the ovary:
1. The primary oocyte completes meiosis I and arrests at metaphase of meiosis II. This is associated with germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD; the germinal vesicle refers to the nucleus of the oocyte), which is the dissolution of the nuclear membrane and interphase nuclear structure, followed by the formation of a metaphase spindle and then the first oocyte cleavage. Development of a metaphase II-stage egg is complete by the time of ovulation.
2. The wall of the follicle and of the ovary at the stigma is broken down, and the free-floating cumulus-oocyte complex is extruded from the ovary (i.e., ovulation). This occurs about 32 to 36 hours after the onset of the LH surge.
3. The mural granulosa cells and theca cells are restructured to form the corpus luteum. This involves direct vascularization of the granulosa cells and their differentiation into progesterone- and estrogen-producing cells. Note that estrogen production transiently drops for about 2 days after the onset of LH production, which may terminate the positive feedback. The granulosa cells also secrete inhibin A. The process of luteinization continues for several days after the onset of the LH surge. The small amount of progesterone secreted during the periovulatory period contributes to the magnitude of the LH surge.
Pituitary gonadotrope—event 8: Rising levels of progesterone, estrogen, and inhibin A by the mature corpus luteum negatively feed back on the pituitary gonadotrope. Even though estrogen levels exceed the 200 pg/mL threshold for positive feedback, the high progesterone levels block any positive feedback. Consequently, both FSH and LH levels decline to basal levels.
Ovary—event 9: Basal levels of LH (but not FSH) are absolutely required for normal corpus luteum function. The corpus luteum becomes progressively insensitive to LH signaling, however, and dies unless LH-like activity (i.e., hCG from an implanted embryo) increases. In a nonfertile cycle, the corpus luteum of menstruation will regress in 14 days, and progesterone and estrogen levels will start to decline by about 10 days.
Pituitary gonadotrope—event 10: Removal of negative feedback causes an increase in FSH at the end of the cycle, and the entire process begins again.
From this sequence of events, it is evident that the ovary is the primary clock for the menstrual cycle. The timing of the two main pituitary-based events — the transient rise in FSH that recruits large antral follicles and the LH surge that induces ovulation — is determined by two respective ovarian events:
• Highly regular life span of a corpus luteum and its demise after 14 days
• Growth of the dominant follicle to a point at which it can maintain a sustained high production of estrogen that induces a switch to positive feedback at the pituitary
The hypothalamic release of GnRH changes over the cycle. The frequency of GnRH pulses increases during the second half of the follicular phase and decreases during the luteal phase.

If today, no specialist can make the Revolution end with the death of Robespierre – as Michelet did –, there is no doubt that a political rupture occurred in the months that followed. The so-called period of the Thermidorian Convention, which stretches from 11 Thermidor Year II (29 July 1794) to the establishment of the Directory on 4 Brumaire Year IV (26 October 1795), saw the emergence of a discourse that legitimised the rejection of the Constitution that had been adopted on 24 June 1793 (and ratified by the primary assemblies on 9 August), and more generally of the democratic Republic of Year II that one associated with the “Terror” and with the “tyranny” of “the deliberative anarchy”, to use the Thermidorian vocabulary.
The purification of the Convention of most of the Montagnards, combined with the return, at the start of Year III, of the deputies that had been excluded in the aftermath of the Revolution of 31 May / 2 June 1793, brought about a brutal swing to the right of the Assembly. The (sometimes physical) elimination of the political personnel of Year II on account of “terrorism” of “Robespierrism”, the liquidation of a great part of the democratic and social legislation that had been adopted in Year II, the progressive dismantlement of the institutions d’exception of the revolutionary government provoked a political “reaction”, facilitating the apparition of the “White Terror” which struck the republican personnel in most of the departments.
The repression of the Parisian popular riots of Germinal and Prairial Year III, demanding “bread and the Constitution of 1793″, facilitated the process which resulted in the introduction of a new Constitution, which was adopted on 5 Fructidor Year IV (22 August 1795), re-founding the republic on a confiscation of the exercise of sovereignty by the “honnêtes gens”, i.e. by the owners, as the deputy Boissy d’Anglas affirmed on 5 Messidor Year III (23 June 1795).

GOD CAN NOT LIE 1
“GOD IS NOT A MAN, THAT HE SHOULD LIE, Nor a son of man, THAT HE SHOULD REPENT. Has He said, AND WILL HE NOT DO? Or HAS He spoken, AND WILL HE NOT MAKE IT GOOD?"
Numbers 23:19 (NKJV)
23 THEREFORE IF YOU BRING YOUR GIFT TO THE ALTAR, and there remember that your BROTHER [sister] has something against you,
24 LEAVE YOUR GIFT THERE BEFORE THE ALTAR, and go your way. FIRST BE RECONCILED TO YOUR BROTHER [sister], AND THEN COME AND OFFER YOUR GIFT."
Matthew 5:22-24 (NKJV)
• If you had been Giving, but you had not experienced the commensurate Return on what you had been Giving; there could be a reason for it.
- God cannot lie, He is a faithful God. The principle of Giving works! It produces results, when it is done as instructed in God's Word.
- The principle is a cardinal principle in
the Kingdom of God on earth. It is one of the mysteries, hidden truths, of the Kingdom.
- For the principle of Giving to work and produce results, you have to abide by the laws that govern it. Some Believers do give, but do not experience Return. WHAT could have been the cause?
• You have to consider these basic things while you are sowing your SEEDS:
(i) You consider the quality of the seed you are sowing.
WHATEVER you wanted to give should be what God has demanded for, and it should be a quality one:
6 “A son honours his father, and a slave his master. If I AM A FATHER, where is the honour due me? IF I AM A MASTER, WHERE IS THE RESPECT DUE ME?” says the LORD Almighty. “It is you priests who show contempt for my name. “BUT you ask, ‘HOW have we shown CONTEMPT for your NAME?’ 7 “BY OFFERING DEFILED FOOD ON MY ALTAR. “BUT you ask, ‘HOW have we defiled you?’ “BY saying that the LORD’s table is contemptible. 8 WHEN YOU OFFER BLIND ANIMALS FOR SACRIFICE, IS THAT NOT WRONG? WHEN YOU SACRIFICE LAME OR DISEASED ANIMALS, IS THAT NOT WRONG? TRY offering them to your governor! WOULD he be pleased with you? WOULD he accept you?” says the LORD Almighty" (Malachi 1:6-8 NKJV). (Also see verses 13 and 14).
(ii) You would need to consider the Land that the seed is being sown.
WHATEVER you wanted to sow or give, should be sown or planted in a good soil—a fertile land. In other words, the ministry or the life of the minister or person you wanted to sow the seed matters.
(iii) You also consider the timings.
IF you planted your Seed at the wrong time or season of the year, your seed and effort might be wasted.
a. You must be prompt in obeying. Do it at the time which God has commanded you to do it. There should be no procrastinating. When God called on Abraham to offer his son, Isaac, he was prompt about it. When he was told by God, the next morning of it, he was Set on his way to the place of Sacrifice. HE did not even deliberate with his wife on it, he was just passionate about doing God's Will—obeying Him (Genesis 22:1-3).
b. If the timing of the planting of your seed is wrong, there would be no harvest. If you planted a seed at the dry season of the year, when there was no rain, how would the seed germinate and bear fruits?
c. You are expected to be obedient to all His instructions, before you can experience a bountiful harvest.
• That said, there are some other things you would need to consider also:
I. You must know your assignment, know what God has called you to do and be faithful in doing it.
a. Even in the secular work, you still need God's leading, for you to prosper in whatever you do—vocation or business. b. God told Isaac to sow in the time of famine, and that he should remain in Gerah, and should not go down to Egypt (Genesis 26:1-6,12-14).
c. He became the Envy of the people of that land, because he obeyed God by remaining in the land where God said to be and he was blessed by Him and became prosperous:
12 THEN ISAAC SOWED IN THAT LAND, AND REAPED IN THE SAME YEAR A HUNDREDFOLD; AND THE LORD BLESSED HIM. 13 THE man began to PROSPER, and CONTINUED PROSPERING until he became VERY PROSPEROUS; 14 FOR he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a great number of servants. SO THE PHILISTINES ENVIED HIM" (Genesis 26:12-14 NKJV).
d. You cannot just move to a city or Nation, thinking you would prosper there as a Believer, when you actually did not know God's mind about it (Proverbs 3:5,6).
e. You cannot just prosper anywhere, as a Believer, you have to submit to God's Leadership; except you have not fully submitted and surrendered your life to Him:
13 LOOK here, you who say, “TODAY OR TOMORROW WE ARE GOING TO A CERTAIN TOWN AND WILL STAY THERE A YEAR. WE WILL DO BUSINESS THERE AND MAKE A PROFIT.” 14 HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR LIFE WILL BE LIKE TOMORROW? YOUR life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone. 15 WHAT YOU OUGHT TO SAY IS, “IF THE LORD WANTS US TO, WE WILL LIVE AND DO THIS OR THAT.” 16 OTHERWISE YOU ARE BOASTING ABOUT YOUR OWN PRETENTIOUS PLANS, AND ALL SUCH BOASTING IS EVIL" (James 4:13-16 NLT).
f. You have to be where God wanted you to be; town, city, or Nation, before you CAN prosper.
II. Faith is an important factor as well.
- You give by faith and receive by Faith.
When you planted your SEED, give as you are expected or instructed, you water what you have planted with a confession of Faith:
"WE must continue to HOLD FIRMLY TO OUR DECLARATION OF FAITH. The ONE WHO MADE THE PROMISE IS FAITHFUL" (Hebrews 10:23 GOD’S WORD Translation).
THERE is a colourful future for you!
• You will not fail in Jesus' name.
Peace!

DÉVOTION QUOTIDIENNE D'MFM. LA VIE AU SOMMET DE LA MONTAGNE.
lundi 25 juillet 2022
SUJET : DÉRACINER LES SEMENCES MALÉFIQUES (II)
VERSET A MEMORISER :
Genèse 8 : 22 : «Tant que la terre subsistera, les semailles et la moisson, le froid et la chaleur, l`été et l`hiver, le jour et la nuit ne cesseront point.».
CITATION DE MOTIVATION
Tout ce que vous semez, vous le récolterez.
PAROLE PROPHETIQUE POUR AUJOURD'HUI :
Tu sèmeras de bonnes graines dans ta vie, au nom de Jésus.
LOUANGE ET ADORATION
Prenez des chants de louange et d'adoration sous la conduite du Saint-Esprit.
BIBLE EN UN AN
Osée 11-14 ; Romains 9:1-21 ; Psaume 89:9-13
ÉCRITURE DE FEU
Ecclésiaste 3 : 1-9
LE MESSAGE
Aujourd'hui, nous allons examiner les implications des paraboles que nous lisons dans le livre de Matthieu 13 : 24-32. Ce que nous voyons se manifester dans de nombreuses vies aujourd'hui est le résultat des graines plantées il y a longtemps. Alors que les graines maléfiques plantées dans certaines vies sont devenues de grandes forces, d'autres ne font que germer en petites plantes, et dans la vie de certaines autres personnes, la graine n'a pas encore germé.
Il est plus facile de détruire une graine que de déraciner un arbre adulte. Si les mauvaises graines qui ont commencé à pousser dans votre vie sont encore au stade de la germination, vous feriez bien de commencer à les déraciner juste avant qu'elles ne deviennent des arbres. Dans la première parabole, nous avons vu le résultat des bonnes et des mauvaises graines. La position des chrétiens peut être comparée à ces types de graines qui poussent dans le champ du semeur.
Au moment de la moisson, le Seigneur séparera les fidèles des faux chrétiens. Les fidèles sont les bonnes graines prises dans la grange du semeur, ce qui signifie le royaume des cieux tandis que la contrefaçon signifie les mauvaises graines, qui seront brûlées dans le feu de l'enfer. La deuxième parabole parle de la graine de moutarde(senevé) qui, lorsqu'elle est cultivée, devient la plus grande parmi les arbres. Il devient un grand arbre et ses branches servent d'abri aux oiseaux du ciel. C'est-à-dire qu'une seule personne remplie du Saint-Esprit peut convertir des milliers de personnes.
Cela signifie que la parole de Dieu dans le cœur de l'homme est considérée comme une semence. Ainsi, comme Dieu sème des graines dans le cœur des hommes pour leur bénéfice et pour en faire des candidats du ciel, le diable sème aussi des graines dans le cœur des hommes pour en faire des candidats du feu de l'enfer. Refusez de permettre aux mauvaises graines de se développer dans votre cœur.
POINTS DE PRIÈRE
MATIN
1. Toute graine maléfique qui pousse dans ma vie, meurs par le feu, au nom de Jésus.
2. Mon cœur, rejette toute mauvaise plantation, au nom de Jésus.
3. Saint-Esprit, prends le contrôle absolu de mon cœur, au nom de Jésus.
SOIRÉE
4. O Seigneur, fais de ma vie un terrain fertile pour de bonnes graines, au nom de Jésus.
5. Tout pouvoir maléfique venant contre mon destin, meurs, au nom de Jésus.
6. Toi arbre d'échec dans ma lignée familiale, ma vie n'est pas pour toi, meurs, au nom de Jésus.
7. Tout arbre maléfique planté contre ma liberté, meurs, au nom de Jésus.

Feasibility Study of Potential Use of Pulp and Paper Mill Fly Ash as a Co-Composting Material
Authored by Tahir Husain
Abstract
The fly ash waste from local pulp and paper industry was mixed with municipal sewage sludge (bio solids) as a co-composting material to investigate the feasibility of applying carbon-enriched fly ash in improving the quality of bio solids generated from water treatment facility. Parallel experiments were conducted under the same composting conditions, only in one of which the fly ash was added. The other without adding fly ash was used as a control. The composting parameters, including pH, moisture content and carbon to nitrogen ratio, electrical conductivity and germination index, of the parallel experiments were monitored for 30 days. Meanwhile, the microbial activity, an important indicator of compost maturity, was examined through plate counting. Free PAHs in the compost system was also measured to investigate the degree of biodegradation in the composting system. The results of parallel experiments were compared to evaluate the feasibility of using ash as a stabilizer.
Keywords: Pulp and paper fly ash; Bio solids; Co-composting; Waste management
Abbreviations: CBPP: Corner Brook Pulp and Paper; FA: Fly Ash; GI: Germination Index; RHWTF: Riverhead Wastewater Treatment Facility; NAP: Naphthalene; AC: Activated Carbon
Introduction
Corner Brook Pulp and Paper (CBPP) Ltd. play an important role in promoting the economic growth of the western Newfoundland in Canada. The plant utilizes a thermomechanical pulping process to produce standard newsprint and other specialty newsprint grades for almost 700 metric tons per days. Each year, approximately 10,000 metric tons of fly ash (FA) are generated from mill operation and disposed to landfills [1]. However, the leach ate of landfill has become a rising concern since it contains non-biodegradable organic matters and heavy metals which can cause surface and ground water pollution [24]. Meanwhile, the landfill space starts getting deficient and the cost of waste disposal is increasing. Hence, there is an urgent need for CBPP Ltd. to seek sustainable waste management strategies to treat their fly ash waste.
Because of its physical properties and chemical content, FA has been used as an additive in cement and concrete [5,6], soil stabilizer [7], colour ingredient in ornamental concrete [8,9] and an adsorbent to remove organic and inorganic contaminants from water and wastewater [10-12]. CBPPFA has high carbon content (more than 80%) [13]. it is possible to be utilised as a soil amendment or a co-composting material with municipal sewage sludge [14,15]. The municipal sewage sludge waste, also known as biosolids can be converted into composts for treatment because the nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus, iron, calcium and magnesium contained are essential for plant growth.
The sludge based composts can improve the soil properties, such as enhancing the water retention capacity of soil, keeping soil particles together and improving soil porosity. Due to the presence of heavy metals, PAHs, and organic contaminants (OCs), which are harmful to human health and the ecosystem, the application of such composts are commonly inspected by communities [16]. When biosolids are co-composted with activated carbon (AC) and biochar, the immobilization of metals and the reduction of organic contaminants and PAHs [17] can significantly improve the compost quality; because of the high cost of activated carbon, however, the composting of biosolids is not economically feasible.
On the contrary, composting with the addition of fly ash can help stabilize the organic matter and PAHs in the biosolids as well [18], and the heat generated during the thermophilic phase also kills pathogens. In this way, the quality of sludge based composts will be improved and the cost will be decreased. Meanwhile, good compost should have a carbon to nitrogen ratio (C/N) of 25:1, while the locally-available biosolids from Riverhead Wastewater Treatment Facility (RHWTF) has a C/N ratio of only 8:1. Since the CBPP FA is rich in carbon content, it is expected that the co-composting of CBPP FA with biosolids will significantly increase the C/N ratio to an acceptable level. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to assess the feasibility of applying CBPP FA as a co-composting material to improve the quality of biosolids generated by the local wastewater treatment facility. The benefits are relevant for the province, where soil has little organic matter and, due to its geological characteristics, a thin top layer. The high-quality compost thus produced can be commercialized and used to improve soil fertility and develop greenbelts, landscaping, and golf courses.
Methods
Characterization of FA and Biosolids
The fly ash and municipal sludge samples were collected from CBPP and RHWTF, respectively. Both samples were characterized by pH, moisture content, and carbon to nitrogen ratio. The pH and the moisture content were measured according to ASTM method C311. The C/N ratio was measured by a PE 2400 CHN analyzer. The PAHs in both samples was also determined through solvent extraction and followed by GC-MS analysis [19]. The trace metals in the FA and biosolids samples were analyzed using modified EPA method 3050 and followed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).Specifically, a 100 ± 10 mg sample was weighed, placed in a 15 ml Teflon vial (Savillex) with a screw cap, and the vial weight recorded. Then 3 ml of 8N nitric acid (HNO3) was added to the vial and heated on a hot plate at 70°C for two days.
The vial cap was tightly closed to reflux the acid and generate pressure to speed up digestion. The samples were then dried and cooled; 1 ml of HNO3 and 1 ml of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) were added to the system and heated at 70°C for two days to remove organic matters. The samples were then dried and cooled. An additional 2 ml 8N HNO3 and 1 ml hydrofluoric acid (HF) were added to the samples and heated at 70°C for two days. After drying and cooling, 3 ml of aqua regia was added to the sample and heated at 70°C for one day. The sample was dried, cooled, and dissolved in 2% HNO3. All the solution was transferred to a 50 ml conical centrifuge tube and deionized water was added to 45 g. The solution was then filtered by a 0.45 μm syringe filter. Finally, 0.5 g of the solution was transferred to an 11 ml tube and deionized water was added to 10 g. The solution was analyzed by an Elan DRC II ICP-MS analyzer. Besides, the surface area and porosity of the FA sample was measured by N2 adsorption at 77K using an automated adsorption apparatus Tristar II Plus micrometric analyzer.
Composting Process
Composting reactors with dimensions of 50 L (cm) x 20 W (cm) x 25 H (cm) was previously designed by [20] and used in this study. Two parallel experiments were conducted under the same conditions with CBPP FA added to one of the reactors. Seven kilograms of digested wastewater sludge and 2 kilograms of fish waste processed in a food processer were added to both reactors. Fish waste was added as the nitrogen source to balance the initial C/N ratio to 25:1. An additional 500 grams of the CBPP FA was added to one reactor. Originally, no PAH was detected in the sludge, FA, or fish waste samples.
Crude oil was spiked as the PAH source at a 20 g/kg oil to solid weight ratio. The composting samples were turned twice a day to maintain homogeneity and air flow, and the composting process was continued for 30 days. In each reactor, approximately 30 grams of samples were taken randomly in the first 9 days and every 3 days after that for the analysis of pH, electrical conductivity (EC Meter, Orion Star A222 and A322, Thermo Scientific), moisture content, C/N ratio and germination index (GI) (TMECC, 2001). The results of the parallel experiments were then compared to evaluate the feasibility of applying this type of fly ash as a stabilizer.
Results and Discussion
Characterization of FA and biosolids
The pH, C/N ratio, moisture content, and conductivity of the sludge and FA were measured and reported in (Table 1). The pH of the biosolids and the FA are 8.7 and 12 respectively; both are alkaline. The biosolids from RHWTF show a high moisture content, while the FA is very low, which can reach the ideal mixture moisture content of 55-60%. The specific surface area of 249.4 m2/g of the FA sample indicates a relatively high surface area. Commercial ACs normally has specific surface area of 800-1200 m2/g, while coal and oil fly ash have that of 2m2/g. The high surface area of FA enables it to act as an adsorbent, absorbent, and moisture controller. However, the absorption of moisture can cause decomposition of the FA, and the addition of bulk agents, such as saw dust and chips are required to keep the system aerated. The high C/N ratio of FA indicates that it is a good source of carbon. The ICP-MS result shows that both samples are dominated by Al, Ca, Fe, Mg, and P. The concentrations of hazardous metals are relatively low in the CBPP FA than that in the biosolids.
LD: Lower than detection
SEM and elemental analysis of crushed CBPP FA
The SEM analysis of the FA indicated a wood fiber structure with pores evenly distributed on the particle surface (Figure 1). The porous structure also matches the high micro-pore volume from the BET result. Free metal oxides found in untreated FA mainly contain CaO, MgO, and Al2O3. Micro- to meso-pore structures can be found on the 100 nm scale SEM photo. The point elemental analysis in (Figure 2) indicates that FA is the carbon-dominated material and Ca and Al the major metal components. This also matches the ICP-MS result.
W: With FA; W/O: Without FA; GI: Germination Index; EC: Electrical Conductivity.
Composting Process
The stability and maturity of a compost are generally determined by the C/N ratio C/N and the GI. In addition to these two parameters, the pH and moisture or water content of a final compost product are also tested. The results are shown in (Table 2).
C/N ratio
Carbon and nitrogen are important nutrients; microbes use carbon for energy and growth, and nitrogen for protein and reproduction. Biosolids mixed with fly ash in a ratio of 14:1 have been composted for 30 days, and the biosolids only is treated under the same conditions for comparison (Figure 3) shows the C/N ratio change with two types of compost, biosolids and biosolids with fly ash; over a 30-day composting process and that the addition of fly ash can significantly increase the C/N ratio. However, the C/N ratio change for the two types of compost for this time period has similar trends and slope, which indicates that fly ash, may not accelerate composting. The C/N ratio of biosolids with fly ash decreased from 14.0 to 13.7, while that of biosolids only dropped from 10.7 to 9.8. Both types of compost have a slight C/N ratio change, indicating that composting is quite slow in both.
Germination index (GI)
GI is usually used for evaluating compost maturity, especially when compost products are applied to soil supplements or used as fertilizers, (Figure 4) displays seeds sprouting in biosolids with fly ash and in sole biosolids. Within a 30-day period, the highest GI in biosolids with fly ash is 33.2%; in sole biosolids it is 38.2%. Compost with a GI value of more than 80% indicates phytotoxic-free and mature compost [20]. The result reveals that both types of compost are not mature enough. An extended composting time is necessary. Compared with biosolids without FA, the addition of FA hinders seed germination. Therefore, a further study is necessary to investigate phyto toxic compounds in FA.
Moisture content
Moisture is essential for microbe growth, and the ideal level is 40%-60%, Figure 5 shows the change of moisture in two types of compost during the composting process. A fluctuation of moisture is observed in both materials. The moisture content of biosolids with and without FA fluctuates between 68.5% and 72.4%, and 69.4% and 72.7%, respectively. This illustrates that both have moisture content slightly higher than 60%, which could be why the degradation process is slowed down.
Moisture content
pH
The pH value indicates the alkalinity or acidity of the compost. During the microbial decomposition of organic compounds, ammonium (NH4+) is usually generated, and leads to a pH increase to above 8. As biodegradation continues, NH4+ is emitted from the medium as NH3; meanwhile, some produced organic acid neutralizes the compost, which further decreases the pH. The pH of the compost will stabilize [21], (Figure 6) demonstrates the change of pH in two types of compost over 30 days. The pH of both biosolids with fly ash and sole biosolids gradually increases to above 8 at the end of the 30-day period. This implies that both materials are possibly in the process of ammonium generation, and not mature yet. This is in good agreement with the results of other parameters.
Electrical Conductivity
EC is determined at different sampling points to estimate the salinity and soluble nutrients in the compost. This value indicates whether the compost can be applied as a growth medium or an organic fertilizer. High levels of salt in compost can reduce crop yields as it hinders the root from extracting water from the soil- compost solution. In general, the majority of crops can grow in compost with an EC below 10 mmhos/cm. Once the EC is above 10, the compost is better utilized as an organic fertilizer. As shown in (Figure 7), the EC values of the two types of compost fluctuate between 7.9 and 10.2 mm hos/cm, which denotes that both can potentially be applied as a growth medium.
Microorganism Counting
Microbial activity, another important indicator of compost maturity, is represented by plate counting. Microorganism colonies were counted by the spread plate counting method. The culture medium for total thermophilic and mesophilic bacteria was 10% strength tryptic soy broth agar. A 10 grams sample was weighed in a 250 ml Erlenmeyer flask with the addition of 90 ml of a 0.85% (w/w) sterile NaCl solution. The flask was sealed and mixed on a mechanical shaker at 200 rpm for 30 minutes at room temperature. The supernatant was diluted into ten serial concentrations ranging from 10-2 to 10-10. Four dilution factors were selected that could best characterize the microorganisms of the samples. Then 100 μL diluted solution was spread in a petri dish with the medium, and placed in a 30°C incubator for three days [22-24].
The results are shown in (Table 3). The microorganism of the sample with FA begins with higher starter and then slightly decreased in the first three days. It reaches a peak at the sixth day, and begins to decrease, at last reaches another peak at 21st day. This could be due to the unstable conditions of composting in first week, and with the increase of temperature and aeration, thermopile bacteria began growing and then decrease after the peak. The sample without FA shows a more stable trend than the one with FA; this could be because, without FA, there is not enough carbon for bacteria growth, thus causing the slower maturity of the composting process.
PAH Degradation
Free PAHs in the compost system is one indicator of biodegradation. As shown in (Figure 8), the concentration of extractable naphthalene (NAP) from both compost samples decreases during composting. The one with FA shows a better performance of NAP than the one without FA; this could be because the addition of high surface area FA can eventually improve PAH adsorption. Illustrated that AC can effectively adsorb PAHs with 5-6 rings; however, for 2-4 rings PAHs are barely effective. In this study, the better performance of compost with FA could have been due to better microbial activity [25,26].
Conclusion
The CBPP FA showed good potential as a carbon source in the composting of biosolids in this research. The process of co- composting FA with municipal sludge seemed extremely slows that the compost was not matured after 30 days composting process. However, the concentration of PAHs was reduced through this co-composting process because of the microbial activity and physical adsorption. It is certain that the municipal sludge alone cannot be a suitable raw material for composting due to the low carbon to nitrogen ratio.

EFFECTS OF CYPERMETHRIN ON HISTOPATHOLOGY OF GONADS OF A FRESH WATER FISH Anabas testudineus (Bloch.) | UTTAR PRADESH JOURNAL OF ZOOLOGY
Pyrethroid pesticides are very commonly used for pest control in agriculture fields and may reach the aquatic system through irrigation and rain. As a result many non-target organisms including fishes of the freshwater ecosystems are adversely affected. Pyrethroid insecticide cypermethrin was used for this investigation to study the histopathological alterations in testes & ovary of a fresh water fish Anabas testudineus. The acute toxicity of cypermethrin to the test fish was determined for 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours. The LC50 values by regression equation determined were 0.15 ppm, 0.20 ppm, 0.25 ppm and 0.30 ppm respectively. The sublethal concentration determined was 0.106 ppm. The fishes to this exposure period reflects significant changes in their gonads in comparison to the control fish. In the testes, Intra-lobular edema, breakage of germinal epithelium and extensive vacuolization were reported while in the ovary large intra follicular spaces and rupture of nuclear membrane in stage II oocytes were observed. In the present study, it was concluded that cypermethrin badly affect the reproductive process in the fish.

Deus permite o crente ser enterrado em problemas, provações e perseguições. Este processo divino faz a nossa velha natureza morrer para que uma nova vida germine e comece a crescer nas nossas vidas.João 12:24 “Na verdade, na verdade vos digo que, se o grão de trigo, caindo na terra, não morrer, fica ele só; mas se morrer, dá muito fruto”A Bíblia retrata o crente em Cristo Jesus como vasos de barro, e Jesus é o tesouro. É para nos deixar perceber que a vida não é sobre nós, mas sobre Jesus Cristo. Nosso objetivo é manifestar a vida de Jesus em nossa carne mortal, para que em nossas fraquezas Deus seja glorificado.II Coríntios 4:7-11 “Temos, porém, este tesouro em vasos de barro, para que a excelência do poder seja de Deus, e não de nós. Em tudo somos atribulados, mas não angustiados; perplexos, mas não desanimados; Perseguidos, mas não desamparados; abatidos, mas não destruídos; Trazendo sempre por toda a parte a mortificação do SENHOR Jesus no nosso corpo, para que a vida de Jesus se manifeste também em nossos corpos; E assim nós, que vivemos, estamos sempre entregues à morte por amor de Jesus, para que a vida de Jesus se manifeste também na nossa carne mortal”II Coríntios 4:17-18 “Porque a nossa leve e momentânea tribulação produz para nós um peso eterno de glória mui excelente; Não atentando nós nas coisas que se vêem, mas nas que se não vêem; porque as que se vêem são temporais, e as que se não vêem são eternas”Tudo o que você faz ecoa para a eternidade...#duuh
