The murder

 The murder


A very long trial while I was serving as a witness support volunteer in Manchester Crown Court was a murder

A number of men dressed all in black and all wearing balaclavas, and all carrying shotguns had entered the pub and shot someone in there.

It was very deliberate and most likely revenge and probably gang-related, possibly drug related.

The pub had CCTV. The shooting was filmed it was caught on camera all three men caught on camera the dead man caught on camera

It was a very clear case; a man had been shot, three men shot him, it was filmed by the CCTV. and yet this trial went on for many, many weeks. it’s a serious charge, the people convicted for it will serve serious time but it did seem unnecessarily laborious. so, for example, a man was asked if he had a tattoo on his arm and he will also show his arm to the court, which he gleefully did. There was no tattoo there . he was asked if he’d ever had a tattoo on the arm, which he cannot have done as there was also no scarring on the arm and yet he had to explain to the court that he did not.

The footage of the CCTV was shown over and over and over again

Nerdy nitrogen

 The term "nerdy nitrogen" captures the multifaceted nature of nitrogen in science, highlighting both its essential roles in biological systems and the complexities of its chemistry and environmental effects "Nerdy nitrogen" is an informal and humorous term that often refers to the complexities and intricacies of nitrogen compounds and their roles in various scientific fields, particularly in environmental science and chemistry. Here are some key points about nitrogen and its "nerdy" aspects: Working with a client on their nitrogen problem I realised that nitrogen plays a major role in my life. Not withstanding that it’s 80% of the atmosphere, I realise I just can’t get away from the stuff. As a Chief carbon reduction Engineer one of my Missions Was to raise awareness and understanding of the science behind global warming.

Ammonia

Image
  Imagine a bustling society of tiny, determined beings—the autotrophic bacteria—living in a vibrant, unseen world. These microscopic citizens thrive in environments rich with ammonia, a substance that many consider waste, yet for them, it’s a treasure trove of energy. In this miniature realm, the autotrophic bacteria are akin to resourceful warriors, battling against the harsh conditions of their surroundings. They form intricate communities, each member armed with unique abilities to harness energy from ammonia. As they  oxidise this nitrogen-rich compound, they engage in a relentless struggle for survival, converting ammonia into energy through a sophisticated process akin to a bustling factory. Picture them as skilled artisans, meticulously crafting energy from the raw materials at their disposal. They employ intricate biochemical pathways, transforming ammonia into essential nutrients that sustain their lives. This transformation is not without its challenges; they must n...
