amplified by shawn lamble (vox/gtr), kris flajs (vox/bass), august flajs (drums), and kris hodgson (cello), collectively as axiomatik, they create a confluence of emotional energy through sonic beauty.
they've all been a part of the local music landscape for the past decade, assuming the rock 'n roll visions of sanguine ('95), pornCzar ('99), and sonicism ('00-'01).
their sound is both unique yet familiar. the band's influences include radiohead, jane's addiction, and silverchair to name a few.

Supporting Game Music and Musicians Everywhere
The Introduction
Sakari is a music web site dedicated mostly to the genre of video game music. Musicians that write game music from around the world are always welcomed to submit their original music to the site, chat in the forums, and become Local Musicians to the site.
The History
Sakari is a Japanese word that, in essence, means “at one’s peak”, or “at one’s best”. This name was chosen because the content would be no less than the best someone could produce at that very moment.
Sakari has been around for longer than most people realize. Sakari first started as a personal web site to one David Schooley. He posted original and remixed songs onto the site, free for anyone to download. This initial site was built in 1999. Later, in 2001, it developed into a much larger site and was registered under the ___domain www.sakari.org, which contained 200+ arrangements from Final Fantasy, Parasite Eve, and other popular video games.
The site hit its peak in the winter of 2004 with over one thousand members and more than 400 combined arranged and original songs. However, shortly after, Mr. Schooley closed down the site due to lack of funding (as there were never any ads on the site), and lack of time to put towards the site (as he was the only staff member). The site traffic slowed, the forum posts became fewer and fewer, and eventually the ___domain expired. Shortly afterwards, the ___domain was purchased by DotaCom Corporation, who purchased it simply to own it.
In the fall of 2005, whispers about Sakari started making their way around the gaming and game making worlds. Since the original ___domain, sakari.org, was no longer available, a new and creative ___domain was registered for Sakari. The site would also no longer be a simple site containing video game arrangements; it would be one that contained original music. The music would be free to anyone, and it would come from individual composers, not companies. The new ___domain is http://www.sakari-infinity.net, and it has become a home for many amateur game music composers.
The Concept
On their own, amateur composers can produce entire CDs of music, and even become THE composer for independent game making groups / communities. However, that is where it usually stops... Their names are obscured, their music is lost, and they often-times fade away.
What were to happen, though, if there existed an entire community of game musicians? What if a web site devoted itself to hosting and showcasing their music, and for free no less? This is what Sakari has become. Any registered member of the Sakari site can upload their music to the site for review. Once a member of the Sakari staff reviews the music, it is added to the site and categorized.
The Members
Sakari prides itself on its members. Among the names in the forums and on the site are many unknown musicians, and some more well-known musicians. Musicians from other forums, where they were one of possibly 2 or 3 total, have drifted eventually over to Sakari where they have found themselves in the presence of many more peers who are also musicians. Even though not all the members are musicians, everyone there appreciates the music of their peers.
The Staff
The staff members at Sakari are all musicians by background and training, and have the musical and technical know-how to give flowering musicians the information and feedback they need to become better composers.
As of the posting date of this article, there are 3 Staff members at Sakari. They include the owner and administrator: David Schooley (illustrationism), and friends and musicians Joseph Aleman (ominouschaos) and Dave O’Boyle (SickAndWretched).
The Events
Sakari holds monthly music competitions. Typically, on the first of the month, a theme and rules are given and submissions are accepted. Submissions are only accepted through the 24th of that month. Pieces are judged, scored, and critiqued; then results are returned and awards are given. The awards, rules, themes, and submission dates vary from month to month, but usually stay similar. These competitions have become popular, drawing in sometimes a dozen interested musicians.
The End?
Nope. Sakari has been back for a year, to date (8/19/06), and it’s still growing rapidly. Musicians, gamers, game makers, and music appreciators have all started hearing about the site, and even a few professional musicians have started taking interest in the site... Who knows what the future will bring, but for now we can all enjoy the myriad of music that we can find on this site.

Jableh
Between the town of Banias and Syria's main port of Latakia lies the small port of Jableh. Known as Gabala, another Phoenician port belonging to the Arvadians, it was named Zibel under the crusaders and then was given its name back under the Mamelukes.
It passed through the usual hands that have occupied Syria and flourished relatively under the Romans and the crusaders whence it was split between the Templars and the Hospitallers. In 1285 it was taken by the Mameluke Sultan Qalaun, and has been of little importance since then.
The historical background of Jableh has been mostly destroyed by the growth in population. However the remains of a magnificent Roman amphitheater comparable to the one in Bosra, is still evident. It is over 90 meters across and originally had 30 rows, although only 20 exist now. This theater was turned into a fortress by the crusaders. Some of its remains can be seen at a nearby mosque called 'Mosque of Sidi Ibrahim Bin Adham'; this mosque stands on the site of a church built by the Byzantine Emperor Heraclius in the 7th century.

Peaceable Community
§ Peaceable Community...By:Sodhorn Boonlers
Introduction
The peaceable happiness is one of the master key of happy livelihood that intervene to the way of life of the community. The community that could still be able to maintain the path of community during the changing of globalization. The significance and dominance of the path of the community that can generally be found, are the principal foundation of the community, warm family, the strength of community that can rally on itself. There is the study in the way of its community continually. The way of life of the community is base on the adequate foundation. All of these have impacted to the peaceable and the happy livelihood of the community.
Case study of Mong community
The case study of Mong community at Luang Prabang region Democratic People’s Republic of Laos and Tai Lua people in The Specially Governing Territory of Sib-Song-Pan-Na, People’s Republic of Laos. There were the way of the community that adjusted themselves to live with the resources and environment which generally found the high mountains because the Mong have believing, learning and inheriting from the ancestor that living on the high mountain will make them close and enable to contract with their respected tribe’s spirit.
Farming that the Mong did, have to use plenty of lands where could be seen that the forest area along the valley had been grated and deforested in order to cultivating crops for consuming such as rice, vegetables and economical crops such as Pineapple, Para-rubber and teak. The outcomes in doing these were, the surrounding resources had been destroyed, deteriorated soil not suitable and unoccupied soil for agriculturing.
The Mong lack of the modern Knowledge about stable agriculture and the method of soil nourishing by using fertilizer to increase the soil abundantly, but used the method by looking for a new piece of land on the new mountain that more fertile to carry on agriculturing and leaving the old land to be unoccupied and waited for recovering. After recovering, the Mong will come back and farm the same land.
The learning of Mong that inherited to their young generation which can be observed from the living behavior, parents and their children will leave their house to their farm to clear and keep an eye on their farm, gathered the forest’s products such as grass’s flowers to make broom, firewood as such everyday. Giving the Mong’s children have learning as their ancestor which maintain their believing conducts to be inherited that difficult to change and still have effected to the resources and environment which commonly found on both at Ban Song ja and the nearby areas. Laos Government have some policies for Highland Laos by assigning the land for settling and living to the Mong to live together. Laos Government let the Mong develop themselves that was assigned by the goal of Laos Government, that is staying with the resources and environment as relying. By providing the basic necessity to the community such as school, community police station, community health care, etc. In order to giving the good way to the community that still live together with the nature as more dwelling place than as it be at present.
The Mong were related to the outside by using wireless communications such as receiving information, knowledge from the satellite dish’s technology, from news. The knowledge had made the Mong to adjust and change part of their way of live and found that moving, transporting and vehicle using have to rely on the energy of the fuel and using of goods depend on the technology knowledge from outside community etc.
From the things found at Ban Song Ja, this community had been dwelled, according to the administrative system to be section. There is a leader to govern the house. There is the police that will keep and maintain the safety of the community and have the division that still be found, was the deforested behavior for moveable farming in the assigned areas were still remaining, still accepting and learning the modern farming as a single land. There is maintaining, nourishing and rotating crops cultivation that consist of the farm land for the economical crops such as Para-rubber. The Mong need more adjusting in their way of life from self – relying on the resources and environment which they are living and the career that needs to increase incomes, then bring that income back to provide the necessities of life but rely on the outside. After the adjusting way of life were extend longer, it may cause them not be able to continue their self-relying. Mong’s community might not strong as the same family that is the foundation of community can’t rely on itself, no warmness and happiness anymore.
Case study of Tai Lua community
Tai Lua community is a big community which settle in the same residence, having close relation and binding between family which can be found in the morning.
There are housewives sit around the fire to make themselves warm from early morning cool and their children are playing around. It is a very lovely picture. Their children have related to each other since their are small, they are so intimately that they will be closely neighbors, rely on and helping each other when they grow up that caused the peaceable community.
The shape of houses were the throughout the village. The intelligence about the high space under living quarters that make of wood and hip roof, the upper story is a living space, a kitchenette and living room, keep firewood, plowing machine, knife making machine and open lower level that used as a storage to silo to keep farming products, the fringe of the roof had decorative designs, the roof made from thin earth tiles, at the roof gables and eaves had peacock’s carving or some house had the year that the houses were built them. There was only a single step-up door.
The most noticeable found that houses had been built by using original methods, there were drilling, inserting wood and using pegs to hold woods. Their house posts were set on stone bases.
The house settlement were resided on the plain in the valley, due to the cold weather, the feature of the house were cover completely, hardly to find windows.The roof made from thin pieces of baked tiles when touched with sunlight will absorbed the heat and released the cool air into the house. The cool air from the kitchenette in their houses after they had been cooked for food, could have been used for protection the cold weather from the outside.
Founded career were farming in the plain area near water sources found that, there are rice, vegetables and fruits cultivation and animals domestication such as pigs, chicken. In the high plain area along the hillside, there are the growing of tea, para-rubber, fruits and bananas. There were a lot of cassia trees to make firewood. From analysis found that the cassia trees in the past were industry, crops, used for food, medicines and firewood.
Cultivating intelligence, trimming the trees from the ground were about 1.5 meter, will have the branched that have high and long twigs which proper for cutting to be firewood, flower used for food, pods used for skin’s deceases treatment. Currently, the large number of cassia trees have been cut down and replaced by industrial plants such as Para-rubber trees, fruits, bananas. After analyzed, the products from the industry crops are highly demanding to use in china such as bananas which originally grew for consuming. From old economic system, the community grew it in small quantity, so it didn’t have much affect to resources and environment. Presently, the demand from outside community for the industry crops has been more demanded and the community had learnt about patroning economic or because of more economic development than the community’s economic. According to be able to rely on themselves. These should effect to the resources, environment and community way, there are high rate of herbicide usage and a large quantities of fertilizers due to wild spreading of cultivation.
From originally country developing by thought about the growing of the gross domestic products (GDP) and thought that income in form of only money were happily insured. In the new world it may not true. The development of Tai Lua people are developing their way of life away from the truth, that is the way of community, the effective of developing country is the gap of income. The changing from outside condition have highly effected to the community, that may cause Tai Lua to adjust themselves in catching up. For instance, Tai Lua people are good at cultivating, developing and seeking benefits from the cassia trees but presently had been replaced by Para-rubber. Some communities may face the lacking of knowledge, and experience in growing Para-rubber trees as well as they had for the cassia trees growing.
Normally, Well-Developed and most benefit to mankind are totally developing by linking development together, more benefits that can assist each other and rely on themselves as well as Tai Lua people in the past. But the separating development by holding it with something, the deriving benefits will not assist each other but will benefit to just some particular groups, in which the circulation of income was not covered, created the gap of income and severely increasing, combined with the original Tai Lua people had their future way of the community to be changed by the demanding which caused then not to be able to adjust themselves, the original careers, community’s condition, were changed, namely the resources and environment, culture and closely socialing believes had been changed. They could not rely on themselves. From the observation of Tai Lua families that live in semi-city community, the way of life have to change along with the wave of changing, lack of warmness in the family.
The community development of Tai Lua people in the specially governing territory of Sip – Song – Pan – Na, must have the developing strategies by thinking about the dual developing which are the developing with happiness, namely. The community were developed base on self – rely and peaceable community developing.
Peaceable in Luang Phra Bang
In the other hand, at Luang Phra Bang, the world heritage city. There are mixed way of life among their urban and rural communities. Being one of the world heritage cities caused the community to have their residences to be as assigned by law which forced them to build their house to have Luang Phra Bang Architectural style. By assigning the height of their premises. In order to protect other architectural styles to bee intervened in this World Heritage city. Part of their original careers were changed from earning their living on the waterway, forestry, trust in Buddhism, holding together as the worshipers to their ancestor’s spirits which could be bounded together perfectly.
Some of Luang Phra Bang people change their way of life from their original careers to be the careers that related to traveling such as Hotel Business, Restaurant, Guide, Shuttle Bus, etc. In other way some ways of their community still can normally bee seen such as present food to a Buddhist monk in the morning. Morning shopping in the market of Luang Phra Bank. Products that still produce by the local folk, not the products that produce from the factory. There still have the way of life that rely on the resources and environment. Although, they have both ways of life in the same city, but community can live with happily.
Conclusion
The necessary reasons had been found from these cases study for the peaceable community that the families in the community have warmness, the strength community was studied in the way of its of the community continually, the community based on the adequate foundation and can rely on itself like the Tai Lua community that the families in the community have warmness and the community can rely on themselves. Lung Phra Bang city where the dual developing which are the developing with happiness, namely and developed base on self – rely and peaceable community developing that could still be able to maintain the path of community during the changing of Globalization.

Pittsburgh Black Sox
The Pittsburgh Black Sox are a semi-professional baseball club of the National Adult Baseball Association (NABA)—competing in the Pittsburgh Chapter of that organization.
History
2003
The Pittsburgh Black Sox were founded in 2003 under the name Pittsburgh Stampeders as part of the humble, four-team beginnings of the NABA Pittsburgh Chapter. After a brief regular season, all four teams were seeded based upon their regular-season records and put into a single-elimination playoff bracket. The Stampeders were eliminated in the first-round though against the Pittsburgh Maulers (baseball club)—the last time that the team would compete under the name Stampeders.
2004
In 2004, the Black Sox underwent an ownership, managerial, and name change when Kenny Rayl took over the team as owner-manager and remained on as a player. The team made a sparkling debut under their new moniker in '04 as the NABA Pittsburgh Chapter doubled in size to include eight teams. Again, all of the teams were included in the playoffs and seeded based on their regular-season records; however, only the four worst regular-season teams did not receive a first-round bye. The B-Sox, as they came to be known, were not one of these teams and thus waited in the quarterfinals for an opponent. That opponent turned-out to be the Pittsburgh Ducks, but the rested B-Sox proved to be too much for the tired Pittsburgh Ducks|Ducks, winning to move-on to the semifinals against another team beneficial of a first-round bye—the Pittsburgh Yankees. The Sox were winners over the Yankess as well, and advanced to a championship showdown against the Pittsburgh Warriors, fresh off of a semifinal win against the Pittsburgh Rangers after receiving byes in the first two playoff rounds as the top seed. A thrilling championship game saw the Black Sox squeak-out a win over the Warriors as late-season acquisition and centerfielder Dan “The Man” Stell scored the winning run to clinch the league title.
2005
2005 saw the NABA Pittsburgh Chapter grow to include nine teams and switch to a two-division format in which the champions of the league’s regular season divisions were awarded first-round byes in the playoffs. The league also disqualified the three worst teams from the playoffs that year and switched to a best-of-three series format for the semifinals and finals of those playoffs. The B-Sox, winners of the league’s Monongahela Division, put that valuable rest from their bye to good use in the semifinals in grinding-out a gutsy, one-run, come-from-behind win over the Pittsburgh Rangers in Game 1 and a two-run, extra-inning win over the Rangers in Game 2. The sweep of the Rangers allowed the B-Sox to advance again to the league's championship round, which again pitted the Sox against the Pittsburgh Warriors, winners of the league’s Allegheny Division. But this time, the Sox would need to win twice in the championship round to defend their title. However, they were unceremoniously swept two games to none by the Warriors, who more-than-adequately avenged their championship defeat from the previous year.
2006
2006 marked some significant changes in the NABA Pittsburgh Chapter. First, although the league remained at nine teams, it switched-back to a single-division format. Second, and most importantly, in an attempt to gain more legitimacy to the league’s competition with other Pittsburgh-area semi-pro baseball organizations, the NABA Pittsburgh Chapter switched from allowing aluminum bats to allowing only wooden ones in 2006. Seemingly no team was hurt more than the powerful B-Sox, who could no longer rely on a high-powered offense to win games when their regular starting pitchers were off. As a result, the team limped to a sluggish start in '06, and only a key, late-season stretch of winning baseball got the Sox into the playoffs. In fact, it took a gutsy and vital performance in their second-to-last regular-season game of the year that clinched the sixth and final playoff spot for the Sox as again the league’s three worst teams were excused from playoff competition. Even though the league had gone back to a single-division format in '06, the two top-finishing teams from the regular season were again given first-round byes in the playoffs. The Sox, as the lowest seed though, were not beneficiaries of a bye, and needed to survive a tough, single-elimination, first-round 7-4 win over the Pittsburgh Bulldogs in order to reach the semifinals. Then, in what has become somewhat of a tradition, the Sox would need to get by the rival Pittsburgh Warriors if they hoped to win another championship. Well-rested and owners of the league’s best regular season record, the Warriors were favored to beat the upstart Sox, but they were swept two games to none in the semis, as the Black Sox continued their aggressive pursuit of a second league title.
The Sox now await a best-of-three championship series against the Robert Morris University Colonials, slated to begin with Game 1 on Thursday, August 24 @ 8:30 p.m. @ Moore Park in the South Hills of Pittsburgh. Game 2 and Game 3 (if necessary) are slated for Sunday, August 27 @ 5 and 8 p.m. @ John Herb Field in the North Hills of Pittsburgh. The Sox are vying to become the lowest playoff seed in NABA Pittsburgh Chapter history to win a league championship after already becoming the lowest seed to even reach the championship round.

Background
Comedogenicity is an important consideration in the development of topical medications, cosmetics, and skin care products. The concept of “acne cosmetica” was developed to link the use of certain ingredients to comedo formation. Animal models were originally used to determine the comedogenic potential of raw materials with the assumption that finished formulations containing these ingredients would also be comedogenic. Based on this assumption, dermatologists were presented with lists of substances to avoid in patients with the ability to develop comedones. Objective
We sought to use a modification of the Mills and Kligman human assay for assessing comedogenic potential of finished cosmetic products. Methods
Six individuals with prominent follicular orifices and the ability to form comedones on the upper aspect of the back were enrolled. Each person received patches to the upper aspect of the back saturated with 0.2 to 0.5 mL of the finished cosmetic study products 3 times weekly for 4 weeks. Cyanoacrylate biopsies were performed to determine the number of follicles and microcomedones per square inch. Limitations
Only a finite number of finished cosmetic products could be analyzed. Conclusion
Finished products using comedogenic ingredients are not necessarily comedogenic.

DOM - Drawn Over Mandrel
Drawn-Over-Mandrel (DOM) Tubing
DOM mechanical steel tubing is manufactured from electrical resistance welded hollows and cold drawn through a die and over a mandrel, improving surface finish, mechanical properties and dimensional accuracy of both outside and inside diameters. Because of these characteristics - combined with reliable weld integrity, maximum concentricity, and minimal wall variation - DOM is a high-quality, cost-effective choice for demanding applications and machined parts. Typical applications include hydraulic cylinders, axles, transmission shafts, steering and suspension components, camshafts, drill rod, drill casing, core drills, sampler tubes, roller chain bushings and rollers, pump jacks, track bushings, and motor housings.
High Strength Low Alloy (HSLA) DOM tubing can offer significant advantages over carbon and low alloy steels through improved mechaical properties, increased weldability, and reduced cost of finished parts. With high tensile and yield strengths, excellent ductility, and low-temperature impact toughness, the opportunities for cost savings are substantial. Applications include lateral connecting links, hydraulic cylinders, piston tubes, camshafts, and a variety of components for recreatonal vehicles and other machinery.

Biology of Giant Freshwater Prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii
BIOLOGY In order to culture any aquatic organism for its commercial exploitation, it is very essential to know its biological features. All the important culturable prawns belong to the genus Macrobrachium which is largest genus of the family Palaemonidae. About 200 species have been recorded from this genus from different parts of the world of which 25 inhabit from Indian waters. Some of the important candidate species for Indian freshwater aquaculture are Macrobrachium rosenbergii, M. malcolmsonii, M .choprai and M. idella. However, M. rosenbergii, the giant freshwater prawn is the most important among them due to its faster growth and larger size. It is commonly known as “Scampi”.
Differences between Freshwater and Marine Prawns /Shrimps. The terms “prawns” and “shrimps” are often used synonymously. The use of these terms is geographically dependent. For example, animals of genus Macrobrachium are referred to as freshwater prawns in Australia and freshwater shrimp in United States of America. Having various controversies in the use of these terms, the FAO (1999) defined separately on the basis of their habitat. “Prawns” are those which grown in freshwater, and shrimps which grown in marine and brackishwater environments.
SYSTEMATIC POSITION
Kingdom- Animalia
Subkingdom- Eumetazoa
Phylum- Arthropoda
Class- Crustacea
Sub-class- Malacostracha
Division- Eucaridia
Order- Decapoda
Sub-order- Micrura
Family- Palaemonidae
Genus- Macrobrachium (Bate,1868)
Species- M. rosenbergii (De Man, 1879)
HABITS AND HABITAT
M. rosenbergii inhabits the tropical freshwater environments connected directly or indirectly to the sea. It is also encountered in estuaries and sometimes in seas. M. rosenbergii lives in extremely turbid conditions in nature. This prawn is nocturnal bottom dwelling and sluggish in nature. During day-time, they protect themselves from sunlight and remain half buried in the sediment. They prefer shallow regions, which are rich in aquatic vegetation and organic detritus. Larvae of M. rosenbergii are planktonic Juveniles and adults are benthic.
IDENTIFICATION
In M. rosenbergii males, the second pair of pereopods are thicker than the other species. It has large carpus of pereopod than merus. M. rosenbergii has long rostrum slightly bent upward (rostrum formula: 11-14/8-10) and the tip is slightly pinkish in colour upto subadult stage. Telson of this species extends upto uropod end. Distinct black bands found on the dorsal side at the junction of all the abdominal segments. Juveniles of this species can be identified by the continuous longitudinal dark bands on the carapace and transverse on each segment of abdomen. A summerised distinguished feature of male and female M.rosenbergii are given below:
DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERS OF MALE AND FEMALE
CHARACTER MALE FEMALE Size: Males grow much larger with proportionately larger head than female. Females are smaller in size with a small head. Claws: Second pereopod very long, robust, spinous claws or chelipeds. Much smaller and slender claws than males. Gonopore: A pair of gonopores are present at the base of coxal segments of the 5th pair of walking legs which are covered with a thin membrane.. A pair of gonopores are present at the base of coxal segments of the 3rd pair of walking legs which are covered with thin membrane. Appendix masculina: It is present at the junction between the appendices internae and the endopods of the second pair of pleopods Appendix masculina is absent. Only appendices internae is present. Abdominal pleura: In mature males, the ventral surface of the first abdominal pleura becomes slightly pointed centrally. In mature females, the 1-3 abdominal pleura elongated and widen to form a brood chamber. Reproductive setae: Absent Special reproductive setae appear on the thorax and pleopod of maturing female.
Food and feeding Adults are omnivorous and consume algae, aquatic plants, mollusks, aquatic insects, worms and other crustaceans. Larvae are zooplanktivorous and their food includes minute crustaceans, small worms, etc. When starved, the giant prawns can become cannibalistic. Age and Growth The life span of M. rosenbergii is 2-3 years. The maximum size recorded is 326 mm (males) and 283 mm (females). Growth occurs through moulting (ecdysis) i. e. shedding of the exoskeleton (the outer hard covering or cuticle). Growth is found to be rapid in males. Normally, these prawns grow to about 50 g under culture conditions in 6-7 months.
REPRODUCTION Maturation and Fecundity Giant prawn becomes capable of reproduction from the age of 5 to 6 months. The minimum size at maturity for M. rosenbergii is 175 mm (35 g) for males and 150 mm (25 g) for females. Eggs are oval and 0.6 – 0.7 mm in diameter along the long axis. Fecundity is less for ‘first broods’ ranging from 5000-100000 eggs depending on its size and condition. Females lay eggs 3 to 4 times a year. Normally it breeds throughout the year with a peak at the beginning of rainy season. Sexual dimorphism Sexes are separate in M.rosenbergii they can be identified by the following way, Male Male develops second pair of pereopods with prominent spines. Male gonopores are situated at the base of the fifth pair of pereopods and are covered by flaps. Male has bigger head than female. The ventral side of the first abdominal somite has central lump or point. Mature males are of three different morphotypes, i.e. blue claw (BC) which are relatively larger and possess long blue claws covered with prominent spines with high claw to body length ratio, orange claw (OC) males which possess medium sized, spine less and often orange coloured claws, with lower claw to the body length ratio and small males (SM) which possess short delicate claws, often with little pigment and translucent, and have lowest claw to the body ratio. Female Sexually mature females have smaller heads than males. Gonopores appear on the coxae of the third pair of pereopods and are covered with membrane. Female exhibits a typical brood chamber, which is formed by the first, second, and third abdominal pleurae. Female Macrobrachium rosenbergii also exhibits reproductive setae on the pleopods and thorax, which are functionally distinct. The ovipositing setae which are mostly permanent, on the coxae of the last three pairs of periopods guide the eggs during spawning, and ovigerous setae, which only occur following pre-spawning moult and are used to secure the eggs to the pleopods for brooding. Reproductive system Male Male reproductive system consists of a pair of testes, a pair of vasa differentia and a pair of vasiculeae seminalis. The testis is soft white and elongated structures which fuse at their anterior ends. Each testis consists of a large number of coiled, narrow and thin walled seminiferous tubules, embedded in the connective tissue. A single layer of germinal epithelium, the cells of which undergo spermatogenesis. The products of both the testes pass through two separate coiled and narrow tubes called vasa deferens. On reaching ventrally, near the base of the 5th pair of legs each vas deferens swells into a club-shaped vesicular seminalis, into which spermatozoa are stored. Each vesicular seminalis opens to the exterior via male genital pore at the base of the coxa of the 5th pereopods.
Female Female reproductive system consists of a pair of ovary and a pair of oviduct. The ovaries are white, compact and sickle shaped structures, touching each others at both the ends but leaving a gap in the middle. The shape and size of the ovary changes with age and season. They get greatly enlarged during breeding season and may reach upto first abdominal segment. The smaller and immature ova lie toward the center while mature towards the surface. Each ovary gives rise to a short, wide and thin walled tube, oviduct which runs vertically downwards to open outside through a female gonopores on the inner side of the coax of the 3rd pereopods.
Mating and Spawning Mating occurs only between a soft- shelled female and a hard shelled male. Female undergoes pre-spawning moult (PSM), which stimulates the male for mating. Mating occurs after PSM and at night. The male deposits the sperm mass between the 3rd to 5th pereopods of the female. Females lay eggs 8-12 hours after mating. The eggs get fertilized while they come out of the female gonopores. These eggs are then directed towards the brood pouch by the peculiar movement of the ovipositing setae. Finally, the eggs get attached to the ovigerous setae present in the brood chamber and are continuously aerated by the female through fanning of pleopods. Eggs hatch in 15 -25 days depending on water temperature. The hatching process is completed in 1 or 2 nights with the newly hatched larvae being dispersed into the water by vigorous movement of pleopods.
Life cycle The berried females with different stages of egg development migrate to the estuaries, because the larvae of giant freshwater prawn invariably require brackishwater for their further development. The hatching and the larval development take place in brackishwater. The newly metamorphosed post larvae stay in brackishwater initially (for 2 to 3 weeks) and then migrate upstream. Adults inhabit freshwater bodies, mature and mate there.

Ninja Death Squad: defunt Vermont punk rock band
Ninja Death Squad was a punk rock / metal / grind 2-piece from St. Albans, Vermont. Andy Bennett played guitar and Nate Meunier played drums and screamed. Their early output tended towards the hardcore/punk end of the spectrum, while their latter output can be described as midpaced grind-influenced metal. Despite the fact that neither of them is gay, they found a home on the Boston-based queer positive label Agitprop Records. They put out a bunch of shitty self-recorded albums early on, followed by a bunch of good albums on Assassin Records (Nate's own label) and Agitprop Records that few people were lucky enough to ever hear.

Infrastructure facilities: Infrastructure facilities include earthen broodstock ponds to maintain adequate supply of brooders, water supply system, aeration system, main hatchery shed for housing broodstock holding tanks, hatching tanks, larval rearing tanks, post-larvae holding tanks, Artemia nauplii production unit, Moina culture unit, laboratory, power house, pump house, etc.
2.1 Broodstock ponds: - Continuous supply of good quality brooders is one of the prerequisites for the successful operation of commercial hatchery. - Site for broodstock ponds should be in the vicinity of hatchery complex. - The texture of the soil should be sandy-loam or sandy-clay loam with pH 6.5 to 8.0. - The site should have perennial source of freshwater free from pollutants. - Minimum two ponds required for maintenance of broodstock.
2.2 Water supply system The water supply system consists of storage tanks for sea water, freshwater and brackishwater (mixed water), filtration unit and water distribution system to various sections of the hatchery.
2.2 .1. Freshwater: - Freshwater may be obtained from a tube well or from a perennial canal free from pollutants. - CaCO3 hardness should be < 50 ppm. - Fresh water storage tanks - Filter units.
2.3 .2. Sea water: - Inland land locked states can obtain required saline water either through transportation of concentrated brine solution or artificial sea water. - Seawater storage tanks. - Salts for making artificial seawater. - Coastal hatcheries pump seawater from inter-tidal zone during high tide, through an under ground filter point.
2.2 .3. Brackishwater (mixed water) - Mixing tanks - Supernatant water from the freshwater and seawater storage tanks is to be pumped into the mixing tanks so as to get desired salinity (14±2 ppt) with through aeration or with an agitator. - If the freshwater source is from open canal, the mixed water may be treated with bleaching powder to get 5 to 10 ppm chlorine to kill the microflora and microfauna. - After 10-12 hours of chlorination (contact period), agitate water to remove residual chlorine; If still chlorine is present treat with sodium thiosulphate to remove residual chlorine. As far as possible avoid use of sodium thiosulphate, because it is toxic to the larvae. - 1 ppm residual chlorine needs 7 ppm of sodium thiosulphate. - Add 10ppm EDTA to the dechlorinated water to settle heavy metals, if any. - Alternatively water may also be treated with ozone and probiotics.
2.2 .4. Water supply grid: - PVC rigid pipe should be used for water supply grid. - The grid should be fixed above the ground level with proper slope for draining and cleaning as and when required. - Polypropylene control valves to be fixed at appropriate place in the grid.

Hatching tanks: - The size of hatching tanks varies from 250 to 500 l capacity. - Normally FRP tanks are used for hatching.
5.2. Larval rearing unit: - Larval rearing unit plays a major role in the successful operation of prawn hatchery. - The larval rearing shed should be situated with a North-South orientation having large windows on eastern and western sides for proper ventilation. - The roof of the shed is covered with asbestos cement sheets interspersed with one translucent fibre glass sheet after every three sheets, which allows light intensity of 200 to 500 Lux. - The hatchery should have concrete flooring with proper slope and drainage facility. - The unit should be provided with freshwater, brackishwater and air supply grids of PVC all along the walls inside the shed.
5.2.1. Larval Rearing Tanks: - Prawn larvae are reared in different types and sizes of tanks made up of cement, FRP, Ferro-cement, etc. - Circular tanks are with smooth inner surface preferred for better management. - Corners of the tank bottom should be rounded off for easy and efficient cleaning and to avoid the growth of bacteria. - Tank should have proper drainage system. - Small hatcheries need 0.25 to 1.0 ton and commercial hatcheries use 1.0 to 5.0 ton capacity tanks. - Colour of the tanks plays major role in growth and survival. - Dark colours i.e. red, black, dark grey, geen,blue etc. are preferred. - The tanks should be provided with aeration.
6. Artemia Hatching Unit: - This is an asbestos covered shed. - Artemia hatching tanks are 50 to 500 l capacity FRP cylindro-conical jars. The conical part of the jar is translucent and the inner surface of the jar is white in colour. - The jar should have a lid. - Aeration should be provided at the centre of the cone to avoid settlement of eggs. - An outlet valve should be provided at the cone of the jar to harvest the Artemia nauplii after hatching. - Two florescent tube lights to be fixed one feet above the jar to get 1000 Lux. 7.

He played the complacent Police Chief in the Grossmont Production of Oyamo's "I Am A Man." It is a play about the events leading up to the assasination of Martin Luther King, Jr. The play and his role were a success.
Christopher would go on to finish his college degree, with a BA in English at San Diego State in 2002.
Christopher continues to write poetry and plays. Although he has published several poetic works, he has yet to find success as a playwright. He is single and living in San Diego, CA.
He is a filmologist (study of films and why they are/are not successes), a writer, and a big fan of the his hometown San Diego Padres.

Shape Factor
Shape Parameters Many probability distributions are not a single distribution, but are in fact a family of distributions. This is due to the distribution having one or more shape parameters. Shape parameters allow a distribution to take on a variety of shapes, depending on the value of the shape parameter. These distributions are particularly useful in modeling applications since they are flexible enough to model a variety of data sets.
Example: Weibull Distribution The Weibull distribution is an example of a distribution that has a shape parameter. The following graph plots the Weibull pdf with the following values for the shape parameter: 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 5.0.
The shapes above include an exponential distribution, a right-skewed distribution, and a relatively symmetric distribution.
The Weibull distribution has a relatively simple distributional form. However, the shape parameter allows the Weibull to assume a wide variety of shapes. This combination of simplicity and flexibility in the shape of the Weibull distribution has made it an effective distributional model in reliability applications. This ability to model a wide variety of distributional shapes using a relatively simple distributional form is possible with many other distributional families as well.
Laulii
Laulii Village, home to almost 3000 villagers lies East of the Capital City of Samoa, Apia. The village of Laulii is traditionally part of the Tuamasaga Province, and part of the Sub-district of Vaimauga (Itumalo), but when the Tuamasaga District lost its fight with the Atua District, the boundaries between the two Provinces changed, from Salelesi to Laulii, to this day, the river "Mulivaiopuafasa" (Located near the LDS Chapel) in Laulii marks this event, and is where the Provinces divide. Eventhough the village is divided between two Provinces but it is still part of Vaimauga (Tuamasaga). There are 6 denominations within the village, EFKS (Congregational Christian Church of Samoa formerly known as LMS)which was established in the late 18th century, also the Roman Catholic Church (Holy Family/Aiga Paia), Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS/Mormon), Seventh Day Adventist Church, Samoan Independent Seventh Day Adventist Church and Samoa's fastest growing denomination,AOG (Assembly of God). The Laulii Chiefs and Orators (Alii & Faipule) have already declared to the village that no other religion is prohibited to be part of the 6 existing, if so happens, those involved will be banished from the village.

New Born Christians
"New Born Christians" is a broadly used term for the actually ment "Reborn Christians" or also "Born-again Christians". The terms refer to Christians who have went through a pronounced and incisive conversion to faith in Jesus, or especially also to a member of certain protestant fractions that stress this experience. This expression relates to the words of Jesus in the Gospels, in a passage describing a conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus (John 3:1-5): "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." Non religious context: somebody who is "born again" has the new will and strength for doing something.

Quinert (Surname)
The Australian instance of the surname Quinert is an anglicisation of the name 'Le Quiniat', itself a corruption of the Breton 'Ar Kignat' (Kignat meaning "to skin"). This version of the name arrived with Guillaume Le Quiniat sometime after his arrival in Australia in 1882.
Quinert in the US appears to be of German origin, although at least one Le Quiniat appears to have made it to North America.
