weapons of mass destruction should not get into hostile hands
certain countries use weapons of mass destruction as a deterant to war, while some countries use weapons of mass destruction to threaten war. If these weapons of mass destruction get into the wrong hands of say extremists with an agenda, it is the duty of the world to take the weapons of mass destruction out of their hands.
United states of America and the tiny state of Israel have weapons of mass destruction to protect themselves. When the soviet union broke apart, all the weapons of mass destruction in the former soviet union became vulnerable to theft. We no longer know who owns what.
Weapons of mass destruction stolen include: chemical and biological weapons, nuclear materials, and certain hardware like parts and electronics.
Lord of War and other movies portrayed the high value in theft and the desire for countries to aqquire weapons of mass destruction, even at the cost of the lives of their own people.
Obtaining a biological mask may be futile if everything is contaminated for hundreds of years with nuclear material. If its chemical warfare, you may have a chance.

Very Early Polish OM-14 Gas Mask Collection Update
This mask is a very early 1950s OM-14 from Poland. This mask is very similar to the WW2 Russian SM-1. Mask is badly discolored and wrinkled. Comes complete with large filter, black rubber hose with rotary fittings, and a carrying bag. I believe the filter to be from a later date than the mask though. An interesting and very difficult to find mask.

Turf Fungus Control
One of the most frustrating things for a meticulous gardener and homeowner is for their lawn to have problems with fungal diseases. Lawns are particularly susceptible to problems because they are monocultures—millions of the same plant in the same place, without diversity. Whenever you have many of the same plant without variety, there is always a greater potential for problems.
Fungi are one of the most common causes of turf diseases. Fungi spread by spores that are carried by air and water. The microscopic, lightweight nature of the spores makes the spread of fungi wildfire-fast. How do you know if your lawn has fungal problems? After all, there are a variety of bacterial and insect problems that plague turfgrass in addition to fungi. Insect damage is less uniform in variety. It would be spottier and less symmetric. Some fungi have noticeable structures (mushrooms) on top of the lawn. Other fungi cause noticeable symptoms, but no large, above-ground structures.
Common Types of Turfgrass Fungus
Fairy Ring: Fairy Ring fungus causes a circular or semi-circular band in the grass. If the symptoms are not all over the lawn, water and fertilizer can mask the fungus by greening up the rest of the lawn. You can also treat fairy Ring fungus by aerating and breaking up the fungal mat. That will improve air and water penetration. If the fungal ring has grown large, you may have to dig out the soil and replace it with uninfected soil and re-seed. There are some fungicides, but they are expensive and do not always work well. Cultural controls work better than fungicides, generally.
Dollar Spot: This fungal disease is caused by the fungi Lanzia spp. and Moellerodiscus spp. It produces the effect of dead circular spots of six inches to two feet in diameter. When the grass is wet, you can see the cobweb-like strands of fungus in between the blades of grass. To control this fungus, keep your lawn properly fertilized and watered. The fungus thrives in warm temperatures and high humidity, but low soil moisture. Fertilizing and watering schedules do a lot to control this fungus.
Necrotic Ring Spot: This fungal disease appears as rings of dead grass surrounding tufts of healthy, green grass. More prevalent when the weather is cool.
How to Prevent Turfgrass Fungal Problems
It is a lot easier to prevent fungus problems than to cure them. Most plants have problems when they are stressed. Turfgrass becomes stressed when the water conditions and nutrient availability are not optimum. Compaction and thatch buildup are other problems. To keep fungal problems from taking hold, learn what type of grass you have in your lawn and care for it appropriately. Most grass needs one to two inches of water a week. More or less water can cause stress. It is important to not over-fertilize. Excess nitrogen can cause weak growth in grasses. Thatch and compaction can be addressed by punch-core aerating in the spring and the fall, followed by topdressing with a compost/topsoil mix.
If your lawn is attacked by fungus, despite your best efforts, you can hire a professional to apply fungicide. You can also use corn gluten (which also serves as a pre emergence herbicide) to attract a type of fungus that feeds on other fungus. This is a biological control that can help keep your soil healthy. The key to lawn fungus control.healthy lawns fungus control is healthy soil. Regardless of your plant problems, if you notice a problem, you need to correctly identify it in order to fix it. Turfgrass fungus is no exception. With proper care, and treatment in the case of problems, you can have a luscious, green lawn, free of turfgrass fungal problems.

Lederschutzmaske GM17 WW1 German Gas Mask Collection Update
This is a Lederschutzmaske that I was able to get recently. The leather on the outside of the mask is looking old, but overall, the mask is still in decent condition. The rubberized backing remains intact and flexible. Even the support string for the filter assembly is still present, although broken in the middle from the tension. A very cool and unusual mask.

Made of all-natural essential oils approved for use by the EPA and the USDA Odor Killer safely eliminates smoke food and biological odors in even the most confined areas. Odor Killer originated as a natural odor control product for industrial use. In use on the toughest industrial odor environment it proved its capabilities over and over in the field and in laboratory tests. Now the industrial strength Odor Killer is available for home use. Odor Killer safely eliminates smoke food sanitation and biological odors in even the most confined areas. It is not a masking agent and does not operate in the same way as less efficient counteractants. Odor Killer creates a neutral atmosphere where objectionable odors are removed without any replacement odors. With the Gel you simply place one or more jars with the lid removed in the area where you need odor control. A jar can also be placed in the path of the intake of your exhaust fan to neutralize odors. The Refill is added to the jars to regenerate the Odor Killer Gel crystals.
