Alternatively, small amounts of potable water may be deUvered by tmck to distribution centers or to tanks on house roofs. This system exists in Kuwait, which has many filling stations from which tank-tmck operators buy water at 1.00/m for distribution at about 3.00/m. Although much water is direcdy piped to residences in Kuwait today, 12% of the people still get their water by tmck. In Khartoum, Sudan, families that buy from vendors, who dehver sacks of water by donkey, pay an average of 16 per month. 

Because all three bonds are identical, a better model of the nitrate ion is a blend of all three Lewis structures with each bond intermediate in properties between a single and a double bond. This blending of structures, which is called resonance, is depicted in (9) by double-headed arrows. The blended structure is a resonance hybrid of the contributing Lewis structures. A molecule does not flicker between different structures a resonance hybrid is a blend of structures, just as a mule is a blend of a horse and a donkey, not a creature that flickers between the two.

Athletes have been trying to get an edge on their competitors probably even before the ancient Greek Olympians and Macedonian athletes were purported to have eaten ground donkey hooves to improve their running abilities. Today, a variety of ergogenically effective anabolic steroids are used by internationally renowned athletes. A few years ago, a successful Olympic track star confided to this writer that he did not want to use anabolic steroids but he was forced to do so because all of his competitors used them and he needed the extra edge just to stay even. 

I get out to stretch my legs and greet Morgan, and am promptly butted in the small of the back. At my yelp Mark laughs, the dog barks again, and I turn, and find myself being butted in the stomach instead, by a dark brown donkey. 

How are we going to handle talking to Fergus I ask Mark, while Morgan locks the cottage with the dog inside and the donkey outside.

Wash coverslips 3x with PBS and place them on drops of 5% normal donkey serum (NDS)/PBS for 10 min to block unspecific epitopes. 

It is an aerobic, gram-negative, nonmotile, nonsporing, rod-shaped bacterium. It can survive in the environment for up to 2 months in sheltered positions. It is normally a disease of horses. It is a rare and sporadic disease in humans, but it is transmissible by direct contact with sick animals or infected materials. The natural reservoirs are horses, donkeys, and mules. This is a biosafety level 3 agent. 

It is normally found in Sub Saharan Africa, the Middle East, India, and Pakistan. The natural reservoirs are horses, donkeys, and mules. It is relatively heat stable and can survive at room temperature for over 30 days. It is resistant to common disinfectants but is destroyed by sun light. 

Mortality Rate (untreated) <95% (Horses) <50% (Mules) <10% (Donkeys).

Man is ideally a governor, not a producer of energy for at least two good reasons for a matter of human dignity (it is preposterous to insist that man should do the work that can be done by a donkey or a machine) and because man-developed energy is enormously more polluting than any other. This apart, any consideration on work affects economy and productivity. 

Differential Diagnosis An outbreak of VEE may be difficult to distinguish from influenza on clinical grounds. Clues to the diagnosis are the appearance of a small proportion of neurological cases or disease in horses, mules and donkeys, but these might be absent in a biological warfare or terrorist attack.
