Lawns can play an important part in our land-scape: providing a welcome,
green space for children, backyard barbecues, and other out-door activities,
in addition to their aesthetic value. Lawns also contribute significant
envi-ronmental benefits: preventing erosion, nutri-ent runoff, filtering
air, and providing natural "air conditioning" during the summer. However,
all of those advantages are lost when lawn care becomes warfare. When children
and pets are at risk by crossing treat-ed turf areas, or when sprays endanger
the health of individuals who are immune-impaired or suffer from respiratory
problems, we have to measure the real costs of lawn perfection. Are nodding
violets, tasty spring onions, and edible dandelions so terrible that we're
willing to imperil the health of ourselves and loved ones? Instead of filling
shopping carts with toxic solutions, we might borrow from the Hippocratic
Oath and first do no harm. When dealing with nature, less is almost Through the action of opaque-2 modifier genes, the soft, floury endosperm of opaque2 mutants is converted toVariability of expression of native genes was analyzed in a number of ASP1-transgenic "high protein" sweetpotato lines. We have modified the nutritional quality of sweetpotato, a NASA candidate crop, genotype PI 3188463 by using a CaMV35S driven (292bp) synthetic gene (asp-1) coding for a storage protein extremely rich in essential amino acids. This change in nutritional value is associated with a two to threefold increase in total protein content and essential amino acid levels in transgenics especially line TA3. All transgenic plants expressed the ASP-1protein detectable by immunoblot analysis; however, the increased protein content was primarily due to enhanced levels of native proteins such as sporamin and ß-amylase the most abundant storage proteins in sweetpotato. To investigate the molecular basis (effect of asp-1 on) of the high accumulation of sporamin and β - amylase in the ASP1-plants, storage roots, at four developmental stages, were taken from the "high protein" Observations on Sarisodera africana (Nematoda : Heteroderidae) : Redescription of anterior end females andtunately their specjmens were deeply embedded in the iibrous roots malring it practically impossible to dissect intact females. In fact, their description of the young female was based upon a single specimen which they described as "écrasé" (crushed or flattened). Thus, the anatomy of the anterior end of this nematode has never been adequately described. During hydroponic culture of P. maximum seedlings which had been previously inoculated with juveniles of young €emales, techniques were used the entire female was placed alive in glycerin jelly on a Cobb slide, the body oriented shows an oval buccal aperture located in the center of a roughly rectangular first annule (or labial disc ?) with smooth corners.

The rate of biomass production and both nutrient and contaminant accumulation of the plant is dependent on physiological plant age. The bioavailability of P in the system influences the plant's ability to remove arsenic from contaminated soil and water. The objective was to evaluate the effect of Pteris vittata's age and phosphorus feeding regimen on the biomass production and contaminant removal. Ferns with physiological ages of 45, 90 and 180 days were acclimated for two weeks in 0.2-strength Hoagland-Arnon (HN) solution containing 200, 134 or 66 µM of phosphorus. Subsequently, the plants were transferred to arsenic spiked (145 µg L-1) HN solution containing 0, 66 or 134 µM phosphorus, to create a matrix of treatments that contained 200 µM of phosphorus total . 45-day-old ferns supplied with 134 µM phosphorus during acclimation was the most You also get a bonus mix CD too! Deep house and broken beats with warm melodic synth washes. Coming out the box with "FIREWIRE" a boom bap broken tune with spaced keys they then flip to ultra head nodding beats on "BASEHEADZ. Flip for 2 more well rounded cuts. He is highly regarded as one of the early leaders in Japanese hip hop. Don't sleep on this be sure to check the sound samples. The album is a focused, song based album drenched in soul and hip hop grooves with a grip of heavy duty colaborations and mid tempo instrumentals. D.C. LARUE'S highly sought after 70s disco anthem "HOT JUNGLE DRUMS" is a protoype for dance music as we know it today here its been given a worthy edit. On this album they drop next level instrumental masterpieces from PROBE DMS and JON SOLO as their SPYMUSIC moniker. Mix of swingin' jazz samples and hip hop beats, this is fresh and summery sounding not dark and hard. All instrumentals with one upbeat dancefloor cut. A mix of dub and electronica this new 12" also features two dancefloor friendly mid-tempo cuts (incl a mix done with DUB ENGINE). Dope new 12" from TOMAS PALERMO aka DOUBLE IDENTITY with a remix from Ohio' s TITONTON DUVANTE, one of the US's most prominent broken beat artists, who drops a choppy broken tech mix with tweaked bass lines. Twisted dark electronic broken beats, that take an influence from ART ENSEMBLE to BUGZ. DOMU's remix is a hard hitting dance floor affair, with dark keys and punchy drums. The powerhouse behind the FIVE DEEZ has worked with a ton of hip hop heavyweights and with this album you get a good look at his talent. FAT JON was raised in Ohio, but now lives in Germany where he has just recently relaunched his own label AMPLE SOUL (look for new releases later this year available from Groove Dis).

Without your hard work and support we would most certainly not have come this far. As most of you already know, Elim Home was a residential care facility for disabled black and coloured children established during the Apartheid era and for many years received very little from the and the development of its therapeutic resources. Our buildings were in a terrible state of disrepair, rooms were sparsely furnished, and therapies were carried out with limited equipment and in a room no bigger than a store room.
