Submitted 17 December 2001; final version accepted 17 July 2002. Epidemiology: November 2002 - Volume 13 - Issue 6 - p 738-741 Free SDC AbstractIn Brief Background. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) has emerged as a major public health problem among injection drug users. In this analysis we examine whether disinfection of syringes with bleach has a potentially protective effect on anti-HCV seroconversion. Methods. We conducted a nested case-control study comparing 78 anti-HCV seroconverters with 390 persistently anti-HCV seronegative injection drug users. These data come from the Second Collaborative Injection Drug Users Study, a prospective cohort study that recruited injection drug users from five U.S. cities between 1997 and 1999. We used conditional logistic regression to determine the effect of bleach disinfection of syringes on anti-HCV seroconversion. Results. Participants who reported using bleach all the time had an odds ratio (OR) for anti-HCV seroconversion of 0.35 (95% confidence interval = 0.08–1.62), whereas those reporting bleach use only some of the time had an odds ratio of 0.76 (0.21–2.70), when compared with those reporting no bleach use. Conclusions. These results suggest that bleach disinfection of syringes, although not a substitute for use of sterile needles or cessation of injection, may help to prevent HCV infection among injection drug users.

Methods Study Design and Data Collection We performed a matched case-control analysis, nested within the Second Collaborative Injection Drug Users Study (CIDUS-II), which is described in detail elsewhere. 13,14 Briefly, the objectives of the original study were to estimate prevalence and incidence of blood-borne infections among young or recently initiated injection drug users and to identify risk factors for these infections. From 1997 through 1999, injection drug users were enrolled in a prospective cohort study at six sites in five U.S. cities: Baltimore, Chicago, Los Angeles, New Orleans and New York City (two distinct neighborhoods of the latter). A uniform protocol was followed with respect to community-based recruitment, eligibility criteria and interview and venipuncture of all participants at baseline and at 6 and 12 months. To be eligible for enrollment, injection drug users had to be 18–30 years old or recent initiates into drug injecting (injecting ≤5 years). To be included in this analysis, participants had to be between 18 and 30 years old and be current injection drug users (defined as having injected drugs within the 6 months preceding an interview). This study was approved by institutional review boards at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and at each participating institution. All interviews were administered by trained study staff and conducted before pretest counseling and venipuncture. Questions on current drug use and sexual practices referred to the 6 months preceding the interview date; they assessed frequency and duration of drug injection, injecting practices, and number of sexual partners. Injecting practices examined in this analysis include sharing cookers used to melt drugs into a liquid, sharing cottons used to filter out particles as drugs are drawn into a syringe, sharing rinse water to clean syringes, and backloading (a practice in which one syringe is used to distribute drugs into multiple syringes). Additionally, participants reporting syringe sharing were asked to report on syringe disinfection with substances such as bleach, water, rubbing alcohol or peroxide. Blood specimens were sent to the CDC for serologic testing of anti-HCV infection. Samples were tested for antibody to HCV using commercial enzyme immunoassays. HCV seroconversion, defined as a positive anti-HCV test result after a negative result from a prior visit, was confirmed using recombinant immunoblot assay (RIBA™ 3.0, Chiron Corp, Emeryville, CA). Statistical Analysis Case participants were individuals who seroconverted at either follow-up visit, whereas control participants were those who remained persistently anti-HCV seronegative. Up to five randomly selected controls were matched to each case on potential confounders of bleach disinfection and anti-HCV seroconversion such as gender, race, date of entry into the study (±3 months), and duration of follow-up. Because matching on date of study entry and duration of follow-up was done to control for the effects of calendar time and possible maturation of the epidemic, we used control interviews that were closest in calendar time and length of follow-up to each respective case's first seropositive visit. Thus, informa- tion on current drug injection and sexual practices re-ported here refers to the 6 months preceding the first follow-up visit at which a case participant seroconverted and to the 6 months preceding the matched control visit. We also included in this analysis case and control participants who did not report syringe sharing because indirect sharing activities—sharing of cookers, cottons and rinse water—have all been associated with an increased risk for HCV seroconversion. 15 Odds ratios were estimated from conditional logistic regression to examine the effect of syringe disinfection with bleach (categorized as "all the time," "less than all the time," and "never"). Limited sample size required us to collapse bleach users into two categories ("all the time" and "less than all the time") when adjusting for potential confounding factors (which were entered one at a time). Results Prevalence of anti-HCV among the 2,198 participants enrolled in the original cohort was 36%. Follow-up and screening of participants who were seronegative at baseline (N = 1,324) identified 78 RIBA-confirmed anti-HCV seroconverters. We matched 390 controls to the 78 case participants identified. Males comprised 62% of the participants included in this analysis. Forty-six percent of participants were white, 19% were Hispanic/Latino, 27% were black, and 8% were of another race/ethnicity. Twenty-seven percent of participants reported injecting drugs with syringes previously used by another person, 41% reported sharing cookers, 33% sharing cottons, and 30% sharing rinse water. Results from univariate analysis (Table 1) showed that anti-HCV seroconversion was more com-mon among those reporting injecting drugs with other people (odds ratio [OR] = 2.2); injecting in a public place (OR = 2.4); and sharing cottons (OR = 1.7), cookers (OR = 1.8) and rinse water (OR = 1.7). Bleaching frequency showed a trend toward a protective effect on anti-HCV seroconversion. Compared with those reporting "never" using bleach, odds ratios for seroconversion were 0.76 (95% confidence interval = 0.21–2.70) for participants reporting bleach use "less than all the time" and 0.35 (0.08–2.31) for those reporting using bleach "all the time." TABLE 1: Univariate Comparison of Case (Anti-HCV Seroconverters) and Control Participants, by Demographic Characteristics, Injection Drug Use, and Sex Covariates, CIDUS-IIThe unadjusted odds ratio for anti-HCV seroconversion comparing bleach use all the time with use less than all the time was 0.45 (0.11–1.55). When we individually adjusted for several possible confounding variables, the point estimate changed appreciably only when "injecting in public" was added to the model (OR = 0.14 [0.02–1.21]) (Table 2). TABLE 2: Adjusted Odds Ratios for Anti-HCV Seroconversion by Frequency of Disinfectant Use, Comparing Use "All the Time"vs"Less Than All the Time"Discussion This analysis suggests that there is an inverse association between frequency of bleach disinfection of syringes and risk of anti-HCV seroconversion. The relation between bleach use and anti-HCV seroconversion was not weakened by individual adjustment for factors associated with HCV seroconversion. There was a stronger relation after adjusting for injecting in public, which suggests that the setting may modify the protective effect of syringe disinfection with bleach. These results are consistent with previous findings, and if true may have important implications. First, few interventions are currently available to curb the high rates (>10 per 100 person-years) of anti-HCV seroconversion among young or newly initiated injection drug users. 8 Second, conventional interventions such as syringe exchange and drug treatment programs may have less impact on HCV incidence because younger injection drug users, those more likely to seroconvert, are less likely than older users to seek services from such agencies. 16 Several methodologic limitations must be considered in interpreting these findings. First, although the initial cohort was large, we had only 78 eligible seroconverters, limiting our ability to detect an association between bleach use and anti-HCV seroconversion. A sample of 108 anti-HCV seroconverters would have been necessary to detect an odds ratio of 0.5 with an alpha level of 0.05 and 80% power. Second, underreporting of syringe sharing or overreporting of bleach use attributable to socially desirable responding could attenuate the association of anti-HCV seroconversion with syringe sharing and with bleach use. However, earlier reports suggest veracity of self-reports among injection drug users. 17 Third, assessment of the bleaching process focused only on frequency of disinfection use; contact time between the syringe and bleach, which is also important, was not ascertained. Finally, given the structure of the interview, bleach use was assessed only among individuals reporting syringe sharing. Although it may seem unnecessary to ascertain bleach use among those who do not report syringe sharing, this is an important limitation for this analysis as recent studies have shown an increased risk of HCV seroconversion among those who share cookers, cottons and rinse water and among those who may inject (knowingly or unknowingly) with previously contaminated syringes. 13,15 On the basis of this rationale, case and control participants not reporting syringe sharing were also included in this analysis to account for the risk of HCV seroconversion from indirect sharing practices; they were grouped with those who did not disinfect with bleach. With consistency of results across categorizations of bleach use (Table 2), this conservative regrouping might underestimate the exposure, possibly biasing the association toward the null. Given the efficiency of HCV transmission and the reluctance of newer, younger injectors to self-identify their needs or to utilize available services, risk-reduction options such as syringe disinfection using bleach should not be discounted. 16 Disinfecting syringes with bleach, which is inexpensive and readily available, merits consideration for further investigation in prevention studies of HCV infection, in both laboratory and field trials.

Chapter news: Call for volunteers for the RAIC Alberta chapter and local networks
The RAIC continues to work with interested stakeholders to advance the federated chapter model for the organization. British Columbia was the first province to implement the chapter framework, beginning the transition on January 1, 2019.
The transition of networks in Alberta is in planning stages now, with an official launch date for the RAIC Alberta chapter of April 1, 2019. This model will continue to build on the success of active networks (e.g. Edmonton) and create the opportunity to revitalize or support new networks in regions across the province (e.g. Calgary, Red Deer).
"We are seeking volunteers to join the leadership team for the entire province, as well as to lead local networks in municipalities across the province," says Chapter chair Cynthia Dovell, M Arch, AAA, MRAIC.
The mandate of RAIC chapters will be aligned with that of the overall organization: to serve the advocacy, educational, and networking needs of its members, to promote excellence in the built environment, and to promote responsible architecture.
If you are interested in volunteering with the RAIC Alberta Chapter (provincial or local committee) or starting a local network in your region, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com by February 18, 2019. Network meetings will start in March 2019.

I promised my sister that I wouldn't spend money on buying new nail polishes anymore, because 1) I've got a shit load of products already (3 drawers filled to the brim to be exact) and 2) she accumulated all products and the amount she roughly calculated scared the socks off me. Though with Essie having the colours I (sort of) didn't have in my stash and CND selling one of the most talked about nail treatments, I simply had to do something. And that something was hopping online and ordering me some nail goodness.
Essie always manages to hit me right on the spot, whether it is their smart and witty polish names or their gorgeous colours – it just works for me. I picked up Parka Perfect a blueish-pastel grey and Sole Mate the burgundy colour everyone has been talking about all season long. Can you sense the temptation? As expected from Essie, both apply gorgeously and are very opaque. It layers on very nicely and with just two coats you're covered, or well, your nails are.
Before applying the nail polish, I have taught myself to wear a base coat, especially with darker and brighter colours, which can change the natural colour of your nails to a not-so-flattering yellow. CND Stickey Base Coat has been on my radar for as long as I started to use base coat (which is roughly less than a year – please don't judge me) and hasn't disappointed me in the least. On the contrary of the name, it is not sticky, clumpy or thick at all, which I was expecting. It's a rather thin coat that applies like a gem and has kept my manicure on my nails for the entire week (and then I had to take it off because I wanted to change colours). So far, so good and I've got nothing bad to say. Only that I've broken my New Year's Resolution already… And it was so darn worth it.
What have been your latest nail polish/treatment purchases?

The pediatricians of Complete Children's Health strongly encourage you to obtain a flu vaccine for your child. We have convenient weekday and weekend flu vaccine clinic appointments available. Please call our office now to schedule your appointment. Flu vaccines will also be offered at all well child checks, asthma clinic appointments and office visits if your child is not too ill to be vaccinated.
We have two types of vaccine available for the 2018/2019 influenza season. The injected vaccine (shot) and the nasal spray vaccine (Flumist). The shot is available for all children 6 months of age and older. Flumist is available for healthy children 2 years of age and older. While the shot historically offers the most consistent protection against flu, the Flumist is an option that also provides protection. The state of Nebraska has only a very small supply of Flu Mist, consequently, we are not able to offer Flu Mist to patients served by the Vaccines For Children (VFC) program.

I can only say that I hope for the best now where you have declared your independence.
Of course I fear the legacy of Franco and the risk of military intervention from Madrid but I have a hope
Once again: Congratulations !!

We are many Danes who are shocked because Robert Mugabe was named a goodwill ambassador by the United Nations. He was among the persons who destroyed a unique chance to better the climate on this planet when he worked against "The Danish solution" at COP15 years ago.
We have to ask ourselves if the number of Hurricanes and forest fires could have been prevented if the countries at COP15 whould have gone toward the path, Denmark had planed with several top-countries.
But third world countries with Robert Mugabe in the lead worked against this and the outcome was a lame piece of paper allowing the world to be even more polluted.
All over the world people are suffering and we Danes have seen no real summer this year. It has rained all the time and our lawns are basically swamps. If we talk about suffering, please come to Denmark. Then you see suffering!!
Since Robert Mugabe took over power naming the country Rhodesia something else, there has only been one way for the country – downwards. The economy is bad. Food production is down. Even criminal organizations like Tvind has left the country so they now hide in Mexico.
So why naming him goodwill ambassador and for what?
I am shocked.
UN lambasted after naming Robert Mugabe goodwill ambassador (The Guardian)
The printing firm Strålfors packs test-kits which are sent out to Danes aged around 50 so they can discover whether they have cancer or not. Due to a defective machine lowpaid employees were given the task of putting the testkit inside envelopes. Of course in a time with a lot of workers in manual jobs who does not speak Danish that good they managed to have one name on the envelope and another on the testkit.
It has created a massive mixup. People who had cancer were given a clean bill of health. People who were cancer free got treatment. Given the nature of the test, you can claim that it was a shitty job.
Now they will have to retest all people. Once again men having reached an age where they have nothing left need to worry whether it is over (which is basically is when you live outside the major cities where the distance to hospitals are big) or they can spend some final years before the long awaited retirement. In Denmark it is bascially something people start to plan when they reach the age of 30 where they will have reached as far as they could when we are talking career. From that point some years will go raising a family and then we wait for retirement.
It is not fun to be put in that situation twice.
Strålfors should have hired more qualified workers but even CSC who controls vital data like drivers license hired people from India during a conflict with trade unions and was hacked because the replacement workers were not trained good enough.
It is a very shitty business.

3 boys from a boarding school in Denmark called "Ladegaard Efterskole" allegely killed a swan in Italy because it became aggressive and attacked them. They stoned it to death. I have to say that it horrible.
But it is also an example of culture clash. In Denmark crime against aminals is not taken seriously. Sadly. In fact rescue organizations can no longer rescue cats from Vollmose in Odense because they cannot get police protection. For reasons unknown to me the youth in that area seems to have something against kittens and they are very cruel against them. Numerous kittens have lost their lives and now the animal welfare organizations cannot rescue them because the police has lost control as they have with a number of areas in the larger cities due to the widespread gang wars in Denmark.
In Italy the laws are more serious and the boys risked a real punishment but the school managed to get them out of Italy in a hurry and then the school expelled them in order to distance themselves from the students. Not far ago the organization of boarding school told our politicians that they were ready to take greater social responsability by granting students from areas with social disturbances access to the schools. Once the students are in, they take these hill-billy like students with poor knowledge about how to act socially and morally abroad allowing this tragedy to happen only to distance themselves from the student as soon as they act as they do at home.
The schools have no morale. I will that hotels and hostels aboard should realize that and deny doing business with Danish schools.
Young "Danes" (They have Danish passports at least) act in such a way. In Prague they riots and looted the city some years back before other Danes started the "Remain home" campaign aimed against the hotels and nightclubs in the Prague who made adverticed at Danish school promising sex, parties and alcohol unlimited. Heavy fines were handed out against the agencies the criminal masterminds down in Prague had hired to put the trips together.
As a hotelowner abroad you are allowed to say "NO" when Danish schools call. Please do.
This time a swan died. Could it be one of your citizens the next time?
Brexit is the path all countries in the European Union will have to at some point. Recent findings done by a committee in the European Parliament shows that member states actively work against each other when it comes to hiding income and fortunes from each other. People who wants to hide their income from the Danish tax-department got help from other countries allowing them to hide money in Panama for a little percentage of the money they wanted to hide.
Tax-payers cheated by public servicemen under order from foreign parliaments inside the European Union. That is what the European Union is all about. There is no question about that Denmark needs to leave the European Union just like United Kingdom is about to do.
Denmark is in no position asking other countries to prosecute officials for their criminal activities against Denmark. If they feel pressure they will properly just eliminate the officials so they can cover the tracks of political responsability just as Serbia did when they killed the people who started the World War One in the Salonika trial.
Beside aiding firms and people from paying their taxes to Denmark there is also the matter of a lot of students from various countries in the European Union who owe the Danish state 123 million kroner in unpaid student loan. Money Denmark never can get back due to odd laws inside the European Union.
Overall Denmark is cheated on daily basis by their membership of the European Union. The question is how to exit the European Union in a peaceful matter. This is where the United Kingdom steps in and shows us the path towards real independence.
As ordinary tax-paying citizens we cross our fingers and hope for the best

Catherine is a classicKay or Kaye - might be one of those names where I can't make up my mindAveline - a bit tired of EvelynSarah - because that's whats most unusual where I liveMark - looks most natural, even though the only guy with this name that I know spells it MarcLuke - I don't prn them the same, but I prefer Luke. But I'd prefer LucasJack - not even the same name. Jack is much better, and easierNiahm - because that's how it's supposed to beSean - because Shawn is ugly. I think Sean can be any kind of guy, but with the spelling Shawn, he 'has' to be black. Well, at least that's what I picture with Shawn...Celine - I don't see them as the same name to be honest. But I prefer Celine. That's my cousin's name, even though she has a kre8tyv spelling. Christina - In English speaking countries, I prefer Christina. Here in sweden I'd prefer KristinaAlan - doesn't look as old, and is also looks most "clean"

Once again, having the right boots-on-the-ground team to manage my real estate has paid off. I mentioned before about a tenant that received military travel orders to report to another base at the end of January and had to break his lease.
Fast forward to March, and we still don't have a new tenant. We had one lined up a month ago, but their ability to sell their previous house fell through.
I received an email that a couple that had sold their prior house and was building a new one. Until their new home is ready, they are asking for a special short term lease (eight months). To support such a special lease, a premium of $200-300 was suggested by the property manager.
I picked up the phone and called my real estate agent that finds tenants. She boiled it down real simple. My unit was the only one in the area ready to go RIGHT NOW. The wife is a realtor and the husband works for the police department. When I first read that, it sounded like two people that probably had solid character. My local agent was able to tell me that she actually knew them and gave me a good read on things.
Don't get sucked into analysis paralysis
I had already punched in $300 x 8 months and saw that I could recover the lost rent from two months of vacancy. And if things drag out, they might have to stay longer. That combined with the solid reputation these potential tenants had, it was a no brainer. I told my agent to pull the trigger and start the application process.
It's important when opportunities rise, to jump on them and not waste too much time calculating things. Having a local professional that understands the local market is invaluable. I can follow a lot of things, but being able to call my agent or Jeff Brown and have them boil away all the irrelevancies while focusing on key factors is important.
My agent explained that there were more units that would be coming on the market soon, but mine was the only single-floor home available RIGHT NOW. I told her to pull the trigger!
When this short lease runs out, I'll call her again and we'll see what rents rates are like at that time. But it will feel good to catch up cash flow wise and even pull ahead.

The US giant Boeing and Safran have received regulatory approvals for a joint venture so they can begin designing, building and servicing aircraft Auxiliary Power Units (APUs), which are the onboard engines that are primarily used to start the main engines and power aircraft systems while on the ground and, if necessary, in flight.
The companies also named Etienne Boisseau as Chief Executive Officer of the joint venture which establishes a partnership between two of the world's leading aerospace companies to work together on APU products and expanded service capabilities. Both companies will take a 50% stake in the joint venture and the initial team will perform design work in San Diego, California.
The joint venture between the two companies is causing concern in the aviation power industry as a number o other firms have dealings with Safran. Various helicopters, Airbus and Sukhoi aircraft use Safran APU's and are worried the Boeing tie-up with not only cause interference in their own business dealings with Safran, but it will also cause delays to the availability of APU's, parts and servicing. Many see this tie-up as yet another step forward in Boeing's underhand development plans to stealthily take control of various supply chains and parts manufacturers to increase costs to other aircraft makers or cut supplies completely.
"Safran is proud to launch this joint venture with Boeing in order to offer state-of-the-art APUs and enhance customer value. Together, we are committed to delivering innovative, highly technological and cost-competitive solutions to global customers. We are confident this joint team will provide first-class products and services within the best integrated industrial organization," said Philippe Petitcolin, CEO of Safran.

#WorldWaterDay: Cox Conserves Heroes Program Celebrates Water Stewardship
#WorldWaterDay: Cox Conserves Heroes Program Celebrates Water Stewardship
NEWSROOM: Cox Enterprises
CONTENT: Blog
Yesterday, many people celebrated World Water Day with various movements and activities. The international event highlights the importance of fresh water, while celebrating the strides of water stewards around the globe. Cox Conserves Heroes are individuals recognized for dedicating their time and resources as environmental volunteers. Here are five Cox Conserves Heroes whose efforts serve to preserve rivers, oceans and shorelines in their communities.
Frank Capolupo, Orange County's 2014 Cox Conserves Hero, brings educational tours to life for children, inspiring them to learn more about the ocean and how it impacts our lives. He also speaks at local clubs and organizations about the importance of environmental education and ocean awareness. His nonprofit of choice is Ocean Institute.
Isabel Herrera, San Diego's 2011 Cox Conserves Hero, translates awareness of coastal issues into action. Over three years, she inspired 1,500 people to protect the ocean. She teaches families about endangered sea turtles and how they can take simple actions toward protection, such as using canvas bags instead of plastic, as well as water supply and how to limit water usage and improve its quality. Her nonprofit of choice is Ocean Discovery Institute.
Laura James, Western Washington's 2012 Cox Conserves Hero, is an eco-friendly scuba diver and commits her time to cleaning up Earth's oceans. She has long recognized the danger of toxins in our waters and spends time removing batteries and other pollutants from Puget Sound. In addition, Laura volunteers for search and rescue missions. Her nonprofit of choice is Sustainable West Seattle.
Rory McCracken, Louisiana's 2016 Cox Conserves Hero is passionate about Louisiana's gulf and its marine life. At only 17, he's spent nearly half his life leading the charge to conserve and protect. He's designed t-shirts and written books to raise awareness, as well as donated the proceeds to help benefit restoration and conservation efforts. One beneficiary of his support is Audubon Louisiana's Marine Mammal and Sea Turtle Rescue program. His nonprofit of choice is Reef Environmental Education Foundation (REEF).
Rocky Morrison, Boston's 2015 Cox Conserves Hero, was born and raised on the Merrimack River and couldn't bear to see the Methuen shoreline he played on as a kid littered with debris. Ten years ago he founded the Clean River Project, a volunteer initiative that has since removed thousands of tires, 56 cars and tons of recyclable materials from the Merrimack. The debris is collected in booms along the river, then removed and sorted for recycling. Today, residents are enjoying a cleaner river where nesting eagles, heron and fish are thriving. His nonprofit of choice is the Clean River Project.
Created in partnership between Cox Enterprises and The Trust for Public Land, Cox Conserves Heroes recognizes environmental volunteers and makes donations to local nonprofits on their behalf. The public nominates volunteers using a brief online form. Next, a panel of local environmental leaders selects three finalists who are profiled on video. The public then watches the videos, gets inspired and votes for their favorite. It's our way of honoring the unsung heroes in our communities and supporting the organizations that matter to them.
Cox Conserves Heroes takes place in Arizona, California, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Virginia and Washington.
The program is part of Cox Enterprises national Cox Conserves sustainability program, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary.

Unwanteds #3. Author: Lisa McMann.
The magical world of Artimé is gone. The Unwanteds have no food, no water, and no hope. And everyone is looking to Alex Stowe for answers. Overwhelmed and feeling totally helpless, Alex knows it's up to him to find a way to restore Artimé, rescue his captive friends, and free Megan from her voice-stealing necklace of thorns – three impossible tasks. But could help lie with the silent, orange-eyed newcomers? Meanwhile, Alex's twin brother Aaron continues to build his army in the stark land of Quill, preparing for the ultimate showdown with the Unwanteds. But a shocking twist reveals that Alex and Aaron share a common enemy more dangerous than either could have imagined… (Goodreads summary.)
Content Review:
Sexual content: One kiss, some talk about whether a character 'likes' specific girls.
Language: 4 crud
Violence: Two men snatch food from a boy and run. A prisoner is kept tied up in the cupboard most of the day. A girl who was captured is dragged away and the boy has to be kicked down to keep from following them out. High priest sends his own father to be executed, but then rescinds the order. A revived mastodon chases people around and there are a few injuries. One battle towards the end – a number of people are hurt, one with a nasty gash down her thigh, another is knocked unconscious and cracks several ribs, and one guardian beast vanishes due to a mislaid spell.

"Issues in the Development of Information Infrastructure"
The Science, Technology & Public Policy Program
of the John F. Kennedy School of Government
in collaboration with
Advanced Research Projects Agency
Department of Energy
National Aeronautics and Space Administration
National Science Foundation
National Telecommunications and Information Administration
The complex, multidimensional nature of information
infrastructure requires timely federal policies to advance the
infrastructure, informed by expert insight and analysis from
different disciplinary and institutional perspectives. This call
for papers and information is designed to elicit information
about work in progress and other information and insights that
may be helpful to the development of federal policies under the
National Information Infrastructure initiative.
The study is divided into three areas:
1. The Role of the High Performance Computing and Communications
program in the development of the National Information
2. Mediation of Internetworked Information
3. Public Internetworking and the National Information
Submissions are invited on each of these areas as described
below. While technical reports relevant to these issues are
welcome, the material selected for presentation and publication
must speak to policy issues in terms familiar to the policy
development community.
We are especially interested in work that can be reported,
critiqued, and published through this project, which will
include a series of invitational meetings in Washington and
Cambridge. Note that while there is no formal deadline for
submissions, meetings to review submissions and plan workshops
will begin in early 1994. Potential participants and other
interested parties are urged to submit abstracts of ongoing work
as soon as possible. Questions about the study should be
directed to James Keller (below) or the Director of the
Information Infrastructure Project, Brian Kahin

1. The Role of the High Performance Computing and Communications
program in the development of the National Information
-- the impact of federal investment in advanced networks on
competition and private investment
-- strategies for commercialization of government-initiated
infrastructure technologies, resources, and services
-- criteria and metrics for evaluating federal investments in
information infrastructure
Federal investments in infrastructural technologies, such as
high-speed networks, often address both the underlying
technologies and the distributed deployment of those
technologies. This dual characteristic is seen in the structure
of the NREN program; it is implicit in the implementation of the
Technology Reinvestment Project; and it will be typical of
projects funded under the new Information Infrastructure
Technologies and Applications component of the HPCC program,
such as digital libraries.
Although it is usually contemplated that deployment
infrastructure will become self-sustaining or commercial, there
are high initial information and transaction costs to be
overcome, as well as strong cascading and leveraging effects
that can be realized in the short term. These factors argue for
initial public investment, but continuing public investment may
inhibit private investment and generate friction over program
design and implementation. This study will evaluate the need
for, and the results of, public investment, especially the
impact on private investment and market development. It will
consider means for coordinating and leveraging investments
across sectors, including the appropriate use of incentives.
The goal is to formulate principled strategies for initiating
and transitioning high-end federal investments -- strategies
that fit the special characteristics of information
infrastructure technologies and services.
2. Mediation of Internetworked Information
-- role of internetworks in the diffusion of technology
-- policy implications of international connections
-- management of intellectual property in the internetworked
The growth of public internetworking has elicited widespread
concern about security and protection of intellectual property.
These concerns have inhibited commercial use of the Internet,
especially the development of systems for navigating distributed
high-value information. They jeopardize the development of
systems for managing health care, and they raise anew questions
about the flow of information across national borders.
Networked extension services to support technology transfer and
diffusion are an important component of the Administration's
technology policy; however, workable controls may be necessary
to maintain integrity of purpose and political support,
demonstrate user demand and accountability, and enable
self-sufficient operation.
This activity will investigate the design of systems and
policies for enabling, rationalizing, and constraining the
movement of networked information in different contexts. It
will of necessity monitor private sector developments, but it
will focus on strategy and policy for federal agencies. It will
also consider the federal interest in developing standards and
inter-sector systems.
3. Public Internetworking and the National Information
-- interconnection agreements and settlements
-- economics of internetworking
-- implications of interagency and NSFNET architecture
-- service priorities, pricing models, and policy-based routing
-- national and international coordination and management
-- service levels and application of universal service principles
While the government's contributions to internetworking for
research and education have leveraged the growth of the Internet
as a whole, interaction with private investment in unrestricted
Internet services has raised difficult policy questions
concerning both public-private sector interaction and
competition among private service providers. The solutions
embodied in the new architecture for interagency and NSFNET
interconnection parallel current regulatory policies for the
voice network on interconnection and collocation. The new
architecture may well continue to catalyze and shape the public
internetworking infrastructure; however, private sector activity
is accelerating and many details of the new architecture remain
to be worked out.
This project will evaluate the market and policy dynamics of
internetworking. It will assess how experience with the present
Internet can inform the development of policies on competition
and universal service in the integrated broadband environment.
Conversely, it will consider how economic methods and analyses
developed to inform regulation of the voice network can inform
the design of federal investments and policies for public

People are informed, but they are, in my opinion, are informed about things that don't matter very much. Again, this is not just limited to Black people. Our problem is that we, with a few hundred years of oppression in America, can't afford to be so uninformed. We really do need to work twice as hard just to catch up.

Many pool owners know about the importance of perfectly balanced water chemistry. Most know how to use a testing kit and can explain the importance of changing and cleaning the filter. But not every pool owner knows just how important it is to maintain the proper water level. Whether you've got an inground pool or an above-ground pool, or spa, the water level can, literally, make or break your backyard oasis.
New to swimming pools? Not sure how to figure out if the water in your pool is too high or too low? Read on to learn more about keeping your swimming pool water on the level.
If the water in your swimming pool is too low, the skimmer can bottom out and suck air into your filter system. And when that happens, you're at risk for burning out the motor on your pool pump. This could be a costly problem, which is why you should definitely keep an eye on the water level of your swimming pool.
If you're especially concerned about the level in your swimming pool, consider adding an automatic swimming pool water leveling device. These devices, which are available in a range of price points, typically attach to a garden hose or other water source. They detect when your water gets critically low and automatically fill your pool until the water is back in the "safe" zone. Many pool owners appreciate the extra protection.
Water levels matter whether you have a pool or spa. If your water level drops in your spa, you're at risk for burning out the motor and damaging the plumbing system.
If your pool level is too high, your skimmer won't work as efficiently. While this isn't a very serious problem -- especially compared to what can happen if your pool water is too low -- it can create more maintenance work for you (after all, someone has to pick up the slack if your skimmer basket isn't catching debris).
In most cases, pool owners don't need to do much if the water is a little on the high side. In addition to natural evaporation, activities like vacuuming and backwashing can help lower the water level.
Preparing for a torrential downpour or hurricane? Don't drain the pool. Pools were designed to hold water, and you want your pool to be structurally sound during the storm. You can always siphon water out if necessary. Instead of focusing on the water level, focus on making the area around your pool as safe as possible: Move heavy objects (like patio furniture) indoors; disconnect electrical equipment, and give your pool a shock treatment to safeguard the water against contamination.
Your pool level can fluctuate on an almost daily basis. Everything from evaporation and heavy rains to running your pool pump can affect your pool's water level. To keep your swimming pool water at the ideal level, it's a good idea to check your water level daily to ensure that the water level looks normal. You should also keep in mind that routine maintenance activities like vacuuming and backwashing your pool can also lower your water levels, so be sure to add water as needed.
Not sure about your pool water level? Your waterline tile can serve as a quick visual guide. In general, the water in your swimming pool should reach about halfway up the tile.
And remember, a good swimming pool professional can help you ensure that your pool water remains exactly where it needs to be.

An artistic education not only makes your student a more well-rounded person, it helps him or her build confidence and succeed in core academic subjects. Take Note music lessons are a fun way for you or your child to learn how to play an instrument. Our instructors are experienced teachers and professional musicians who have performed all over the world.
Reasons to Choose Take Note
We know that there are many music lesson options available in New York City. But we believe we offer learning experiences that are the best possible fit for a wide range of students. Our lessons are fun, engaging, and convenient.
Many Instruments and Disciplines
Take Note offers singing lessons and instruction in a wide range of instruments: piano, guitar, violin, ukulele, drums, clarinet, saxophone, and more. We also give combination lessons for students interested in learning more than one instrument. We are pleased to offer songwriting and acting coaching, as well.
Convenient Instruction That Comes to You
Lessons take place in the convenience of your own home. We travel to Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and Westchester County. Please note that our exact availability varies with location and instrument.
Lessons for Every Age and Skill Level
We teach students from the youngest beginners to advanced students applying to top college music programs. We even offer lessons for adults. Take Note students have been accepted to a number of prestigious performing arts high schools and colleges, including Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School (the Fame high school), NYU Tisch, Pace, Hartt Conservatory of Music, and many others.
Our main goal is to keep lessons enjoyable. No matter your student's level or goals, you can count on us to make learning music fun.
Fun Performance Opportunities
Part of music education is ensuring that the student has the confidence and skills to perform in front of an audience. All Take Note students have the opportunity to perform in two recitals each year. These shows are optional and non-competitive. Students perform on a stage with a grand piano and stage lighting. Families often tell us that they enjoy the fun and supportive atmosphere Take Note creates for these shows. Students gain self-esteem and confidence from these performances.
We're proud to be able to offer these positive early performance experiences, and we know they instill confidence because many students have been performing in our shows for years.

it snowed with similiar amount of snowfall, this is what my kids looked like. It was January 2004. We got about 8 inches of snow, then suddenly got hit with an ice storm and had about an inch of ice on everything. But more about my babies. are they not just so adorable? It was noah's first real snow, so of course he ate as much as he could. sydnie loved making a snowman and throwing snowballs at noah, which in turn caused crying and lots of good fun.

Sydnie - 4 years old


text: Financial District, San Francisco, California, United States by yesterday Mark Twain and the Occidental Hotel 28-year-old Mark Twain arrived in San Francisco in May of 1864. He spent his first few months living at the Occidental Hotel (where the Rush Building now stands). The Occidental Hotel was a four story Italian style building which was one of the grandest places in town. Twain made $35 dollar a week as a reporter back then. Much of his wages went on his room and on the hotel's decadent buffets. Needless to say dwindling funds ment Twain relocate within months of his arrival. Incidentally, it is believed that the Martini was first invented at the Occidental Hotel. It evolved from a cocktail called the Martinez which was served to partrons who frequented the hotel before taking an evening ferry to the nearby town of Martinez. Photograph from Bay Citizen


text: You already know the variables that determine the rates you pay: the price of your vehicle, your driving record, your age and sex–your Zip Code. But there are hidden variables as well. And if you're thinking about buying a high-end vehicle, be prepared for a shocker. Modest coverage on a Mercedes Benz SL, for example, can easily run you $22,536 a year. In other words, over five years you'll spend more to insure your car than you paid for the sticker price. "Forbes" looks at the most expensive cars to insure. Not surprisingly, Mercedes Benz, Porsche and BMW lead the list.

Dr. Ruth brings back her vintage show on Shout! Factory TV this Saturday
Dr. Ruth is turning 89 and she's giving you a present with a live streaming event including the best of her vintage TV series on shoutfactorytv.com and other outlets. When the iconic sex therapist arrived in the '80s, she really opened up the way people discussed carnal fun. Who can ever forget her classic donut moment on Late Night with David Letterman? She knew how to make Dave squirm as she used her fingers to demonstrate. The streaming event will even feature her interview with Harry Shearer (The Simpsons and This Is Spinal Tap). She will also participate so you can ask her modern questions including can your fidget spinner be used as an IUD? Here's more details of the fun that you can enjoy for free on Saturday:
Dr. Ruth, one of the most trusted names in psychosexual therapy, is coming to Shout! Factory TV. In celebration of her 89th birthday, Dr. Ruth Westheimer will host Swiping Right with Dr. Ruth, a livestreaming event featuring favorite episodes of The Dr. Ruth Show and new Q&A segments where Dr. Ruth covers today's sex, dating, בוגדות and relationship topics. The marathon will air on Saturday, June 3 at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT at http://www.shoutfactorytv.com/, Pluto TV Channel 512 and Love TV's Facebook page
In Swiping Right with Dr. Ruth, the talk show legend presents some of her favorite episodes from her TV talk show, featuring guests such as Jerry Seinfeld, Richard Simmons, Joan Rivers, Burt Reynolds, and Harry Shearer. She will also hold a Q&A covering everything from dating in the digital age to her current opinions on Planned Parenthood. You can find the sex apps new zealand here.
Dr. Ruth Westheimer may best be known for having pioneered talking explicitly about sex on radio and television, but that is only a small part of her rich and diversified life. Born in Germany in 1928, Dr. Westheimer was sent to Switzerland at the age of ten to escape the Holocaust, which wiped out her entire immediate family. At the age of seventeen she went to then Palestine. She joined the Haganah, the Israeli freedom fighters, was trained to be a sniper and was seriously wounded in a bomb blast. She later moved to Paris to study at the Sorbonne and in 1956 went to the U.S. where she obtained her Masters Degree (M.A.) in Sociology from the Graduate Faculty of the New School of Social Research and Doctorate of Education (Ed.D.) in the Interdisciplinary Study of the Family from Columbia University Teacher's College.
Her work for Planned Parenthood led her to study human sexuality under Dr. Helen Singer Kaplan at New York Hospital-Cornell University Medical Center, where she became an Adjunct Associate Professor. Subsequently she taught courses at various institutions of higher learning including Princeton and Yale. She currently is teaching a course at Columbia's Teachers College. She has her own private practice in New York and lectures worldwide.
She is the author of 38 books, the latest of which is The Doctor Is In: Dr. Ruth on Love, Life and Joie de Vivre and the executive producer of five documentaries.
Shout! Factory TV's Swiping Right with Doctor Ruth will be streaming beginning at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT Saturday June 3 at http://www.shoutfactorytv.com/, Love TV's Facebook page, and on Pluto TV, CH 512.

Flyers are great way to inform your intended audience about your upcoming promos or new products. Given the importance of this marketing collateral, you should hire the top graphics designer to conceptualize and design the collaterals.
But if you prefer to design your business flyers yourself, here are some tips from experts that you can follow so you can create a winning flyer design for your company:
The first thing that you need to do when designing your flyers is to know how your intended audience will read your supposed flyers. You need to walk into the shoes of our public so you can determine the design concept that would pique their interest. Try to check out flyers similar to your business and see if you find it attractive. Take note of design details that you would like to incorporate on your flyer design.
When designing your flyers, you need to take note of your unique selling proposition to help you stand out from your competition. You need to relay to the audience what benefits they would get if they subscribe to your services or purchase your product. When it comes to writing the copy, you need to make it personal. Use pronouns like "you" and "your".
You need to keep in mind that you have limited space, so as much as possible get straight to the point and express your message. Make sure that your copy is clear and highlight the pointers that you want to emphasize. In terms of design, use a font that is legible and easy to read. Avoid using all caps on texts as it is difficult to read.
As a reminder, you are dealing with a limited space. Using too many graphics and visuals will only cram the design and make the flyer look confusing and cheap. As much as possible, minimize your visuals and use few photos. Also, be sure to use high resolution and high quality photos. Using low resolution photos will only make the flyer design look cheap and substandard.
At the end of the day, you want your target audience to do something when they read the flyers. Be clear with this intention. Your call to action phrases must specify what they need to do.
