Independent review
Thinking of buying a diesel-powered Audi A3? Don't, until you've considered the clever 1.5 TFSI Cylinder on Demand petrol version. Computer technology really has brought the petrol engine to the point where it's nearly diesel-frugal. Jonathan Crouch reports.Ten Second Review
Most Audi A3 buyers choose diesel power. But these days, they don't necessarily have to. The A3 1.5 TFSI features a modern turbocharged petrol engine that features a 'COD' cylinder cut-off system which means that when cruising, it'll run on two rather than four cylinders. The result? Economy of up to 60.1mpg on the combined cycle, yet ths A3 has the ability to nip to 62mph in 8.1 seconds.Background
Wanting to have your cake and eat it is usually asking a bit much. Especially when it comes to cars. Take the desire for the refinement and cheaper green pump fuel of a petrol model. With the same frugality you'd get from a black pump diesel. Will it ever happen? Cars like Audi's A3 1.4 TFSI CoD make you believe that it just might. OK, so the name's a bit of a mouthful but the technology's very clever indeed. 'CoD' stands for 'Cylinder on Demand', this acronym your first pointer to the fact that this is a car with a trick or two up its sleeve.Driving Experience
This engine is a 150PS version of Audi's 1.5-litre TFSI powerplant but features a clever piece of engineering on the camshaft. Basically, the second and third cylinders of this four-pot engine are shifted to a cam profile which doesn't activate the valves under low and intermediate loads and when coasting. This can occur at any point between 1400-4000rpm. Give the throttle or brake a good prod and it reverts to firing on four. There are manual and S tronic auto transmission options. It's actually devilishly hard to detect when it's operating because you're normally just tickling along. The central display screen can give you the nod or, if you've got a good ear, you can hear a slight change in engine timbre. It's certainly quick enough, managing 62mph from rest in 8.1 seconds, which used to be the preserve of a respectable hot hatch. Aside from the smart engine tech, the A3 1.5 TFSI feels remarkably conventional. The Volkswagen Golf-derived underpinnings work well enough, and weight distribution is remarkably evenly spread, front-to-rear. Combined with short overhangs and the latest generation Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) with electronic axle differential, this makes for safe and predictable handling. You can drive it really hard and revel in its faithful responses, knowing that it's on your side. Some sports hatches might offer a little more in feedback, but it would take a very well driven hot hatch to put distance between it and a well-driven A3 1.5 TFSI on a twisty road.Design and Build
Exterior changes to the A3 are slight but the front looks a little more purposeful, courtesy of sharper lines for the familiar and now broader Singleframe grille. The headlights are flatter, with distinctive outer contours and can now be ordered in Matrix LED form, so they are significantly brighter and constantly adapt themselves to avoid dazzling other road users, plus of course they never need to be dipped. Equally subtle changes at the rear aim to accentuate the width of this car - with the horizontal illuminated graphics of the rear lights and the separation edge above the redesigned diffuser. Inside, the 'Virtual Cockpit' instrument display used in the TT and other pricier Audis is now available in this one as an option. This displays the most important driving-relevant information in high resolution on a 12.3-inch diagonal TFT screen. The driver can switch between two views by pressing the "View" button on the multifunction steering wheel. In addition, the menu structure that works the centre dash MMI infotainment screen has been redesigned and is now more intuitive. Otherwise, everything is pretty much as before, with classy materials and strong build quality. The hatch most will want with three or five doors has a 365-litre boot - and there's still the option of saloon or Cabriolet bodystyles if you want them.Market and Model
Pricing for the A3 1.5 TFSI starts at around the £22,500 for the three-door variant, with a £620 price premium to find if you want the extra versatility of the five-door Sportback. To put that into perspective for you, a comparably performing A3 2.0 TDI diesel three-door would cost you around £1,500 more and only take you around nine miles further on each gallon of more expensive black pump fuel. The key option with this improved model is the clever 'Virtual Cockpit' system replacing the conventional instrument dials with an eye-catching 12.3-inch TFT display. But of course, there's much else to select from. As for infotainment, well Audi reckons that this improved A3 sets fresh standards here. An 'MMI radio plus' set-up with an electrically extending 7-inch diagonal monitor is standard, while the 'MMI navigation' system is fitted from 'SE Technik' trim upwards. Go further and specify the 'MMI navigation plus with MMI touch in conjunction with the Audi connect' package (what a mouthful!) and you can have many online functions in your A3 at high speed via the super-fast LTE standard. They include, for example, navigation with Google Earth and Google Street View traffic information in real time, as well as practical information on parking, destinations, news or the weather. There's also a free 'Audi MMI connect' app that enables other services, such as online media streaming and transfer of a calendar from a smartphone to the MMI. Mobile phones with iOS and Android operating systems can now be connected with the car via the standard Audi smartphone interface.Cost of Ownership
Fuel economy is impressive. According to Audi's figures, this A3 1.5 TFSI will return up to 57.6mpg in manual form and 112g/km of CO2 - that's on 16-inch wheels. Go for the S tronic auto and the figures are 60.1mpg and 108g/km. More power with lower emissions and better economy? That's about the size of it. In comparison, an equivalently performing A3 2.0 TDI diesel manages 68.9mpg on the combined cycle and 108g/km of CO2. As for depreciation and running costs, well independent specialists CAP Monitor reckon that for mainstream variants, these will be class-leading, a fraction in front of BMW and Mercedes and far ahead of premium compact class wannabe models like the Volvo V40 or the Alfa Romeo Giulietta. Buy, say, an entry-level A3 1.5 TFSI now and three years down the road it will still be worth around 46% of what you initially paid for it. That's what makes it worth paying the extra for this car over, say, a well-equipped Focus or Astra, both of which have closed the gap in terms of quality in recent years. As long as you can afford the initial outlay and don't go mad on the options list, the Audi is going to work out cheaper to own. Further assistance here is provided by a fixed price servicing plan that can cover you for between three and five years.Summary
For years now, petrol engines have been getting more and more efficient. It's taken Audi though to bring that to the fore with their clever Cylinder on Demand technology. Most A3 buyers will ignore it and blindly tick the box for another TDI diesel model, but for the few who take the time to find out more about CoD, this could be a very clever choice. You can get this same engine in a smaller Audi A1 but the saving over this A3 isn't very great. We'd council you to choose the bigger car. Having said that, the same engine is also available in a Volkswagen Golf and a SEAT Leon for less. But then, an Audi is an Audi. If you've set your heart on one, then very probably, nothing less will do. And if that's the case, then you can't ignore this neat and appealing package.

Offering hope to those who feel "dispirited" by the presidential contest, the grassroots political organization People's Action on Tuesday released its list of 22 down-ballot endorsements for the 2016 election.
"These candidates come from out of the justice movement in America—some as leaders within our own organizations," said LeeAnn Hall, co-executive director of People's Action.
"They know what it's like to not be able to make ends meet," Hall said. "They understand how it feels to have to choose between meals or medicine for your children. They understand what it's like to be targeted for police violence because you are black, or have your family threatened by deportation. They represent families in America, not America's corporate elite."
Observers will notice overlap between the People's Action endorsements and those of Our Revolution, the organization launched to carry on the progressive ideals of Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign. Among the names on both lists are higher-profile candidates like Russ Feingold in Wisconsin, Zephyr Teachout in New York, and David Zuckerman in Vermont; as well as lesser-knowns like Ilhan Omar in Minnesota, Chris Rabb in Pennsylvania, and Jamie Raskin in Maryland.
That's no coincidence.
In a press statement, People's Action said that by endorsing these candidates, it is "building on the progressive political revolution ignited by Sen. Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign. We are lifting up grassroots leaders who are committed to fighting for people instead of corporate profits; standing up for racial and gender justice; working for an equitable people's economy, and fighting global warming and for climate justice."
To be sure, such platforms also invite the ire of billionaire-funded super PACs, as Our Revolution warned in a fundraising email sent to supporters just this week. Citing her work to get big money out of politics, Our Revolution's Jeff Weaver wrote that Teachout, along with three other grassroots candidates (Morgan Carroll in Colorado, Rick Nolan in Minnesota, and Tom Nelson in Wisconsin), is "up against millions of dollars from a single super PAC."
"These billionaires want to buy seats in Congress for a pretty simple reason: they want people in office who will fight to expand corporate tax breaks, oppose efforts to raise the minimum wage, and to pass disastrous trade deals," Weaver wrote. "We believe that there's a different way our democracy should work."
The full slate of People's Action candidates is:

5,000 homes, a new school, and a quayside leisure zone - have your say on Yarmouth 2030
PUBLISHED: 13:50 26 September 2018 | UPDATED: 11:33 27 September 2018
People have just days to comment on where more than 5,000 new homes could be built across the Great Yarmouth borough.
A key planning document, Local Plan Part 2, is proposing site allocations for major residential developments.
It proposes spreading the homes over a range of towns and villages including Hemsby, Ormesby St Margaret, and Belton.
Among the options being considered are 190 homes on the former Pontins site in Hembsy, 100 homes in Belton on land off New Road, and 400 homes on The Conge in Great Yarmouth.
In Ormesby a bid for 190 homes on agricultural land south of Cromer Road is being put forward.
The planning document says there is still scope for development in Ormesby which has seen relatively few housing completions and permissions and has good roads and services.
Posters have been put up around the village asking people to say 'no' to the proposal.
Others commenting online have raised a string of concerns to do with traffic, pressure on services, and spoiling the character of the village.
The council is stressing they are only suggested allocations.
Under Government housing targets the borough is looking to find sites for 5,139 homes up to 2030.
No allocations are sought for Winterton, and Filby and Fleggburgh are said to have had their fill.
A new bowling green is planned for Runham and a new school is earmarked for Bradwell south.
Ferryside in Gorleston is destined for 35 new homes.
A vision for Hall Quay in Yarmouth sees it becoming a vibrant area for bars and restaurants with policies helping to dangle carrots.
In a joint statement, Graham Plant, the council leader, and Trevor Wainwright, the Labour group leader, said: "Sustainable development is vital to ensure the borough's economy continues to grow and future generations have jobs and the right mix of good quality homes, which are two of the council's top priorities.
"This is about the borough's future – our future generations – and it's important that everyone has the opportunity to help shape this document."
Hard copies of the consultation document are available for inspection at the Town Hall and local libraries.
All comments must be received before midnight on Sunday, September 30.

MOROCCAN duo Youssef Chippo and Youssef Safri are making a last-ditch effort to avert a Sky Blues midfield crisis at West Bromwich Albion on Wednesday.
The pair were due to fly out this evening for a midweek international but have made a plea to their national coach to let them put club before country.
The Sky Blues are already without Lee Carsley for the game at The Hawthorns after the Irishman went over on an ankle in yesterday?s 2-0 home defeat by Watford, while Richard Shaw is still not 100 per cent and goal-keeper Magnus Hedman is nursing a calf injury.
?I am going to speak with the national manager to ask him if we can stay and play for our club because it is more important,? said Chippo who plays alongside Safri in the heart of midfield for Morocco, just as he has been doing for the Sky Blues in recent games.
?It is only a friendly against Mali and I know we need to stay because it will be a hard game against West Bromwich Albion. It is even more difficult for us because we have some injuries and that?s what I will be telling my manager on the phone.
?If they need us, I will ask if perhaps one of us can stay and only one goes, so I will try to explain the situation and get it sorted out before we fly in the evening.?
He added: ?I am enjoying playing in the middle, especially alongside Youssef where we play for Morocco. We were disappointed to lose to Watford because we need to win games like this and the one on Wednesday if we want to go back to the Premiership.?

I took a trip to Canada during this summer vacation and even though I only spent a total of six days and only visited two cities (Montreal and Quebec city), I was struck just by how different two neighboring countries can be from each other. A couple of examples:
- In Canada whenever we bought anything we were asked if we want a bag. In the US, no one asks you – they simply pile your purchases into as many bags as they can and sometimes you need to point out to them that you don't need that many bags.
- In Canada, when buying coffee in a café you are asked "for here" or "to go" and if it is "for here" you are served in a ceramic cup. In the US, it's always a disposable sippy cup and if you want ceramic, you have to ask them yourself.
- We drove through quite a few rural areas in the province of Quebec and hardly saw any churches. The minute we crossed into the US, there were as many churches as there were fast food restaurants.
Now, I am not passing any judgments here, but it makes for a curious inquiry – how can two countries that are geographically and historically (we are not talking about Russia and Finland that are neighbors but have had a very different historical course in the past couple of centuries) so close be so different? What are the major influences that create these differences in societal cultures?

Cilla turned killer: Date or Die demo released
Upcoming visual novel [Date or Die] combines two horrific things: the elaborate murdergames of Danganronpa and that crazy little thing called 'love'. Six people find themselves imprisoned on a deadly reality show, see, where they either find and embrace love or they die. Blind Date meets Saw. The game's launch is still a way out but, if you fancy seeing what it's about, its makers have released the demo they showed at PAX East last weekend.
So! Six folks awaken imprisoned in a mysterious TV studio with their names and other key memories wiped, and deadly poison rings on their fingers. They discover that they're on a reality dating show hosted by a smug creep and his android bodyguard, offering freedom (and possibly love!) to whoever completes all the challenges. The developers say:
"Date or Die is a visual novel about relationships, love, and the way they're portrayed in media. In terms of inspiration, think Flavor of Love and The Bachelor meets Danganronpa! It features a diverse and engaging cast of characters, a sharply written branching story, and will hopefully make you cry!"
The PAX East demo is the game's prologue, introducing players to the murdertrap they're stuck in, running through a preliminary matchmaking quiz like a deadly OK Cupid, and briefly meeting the other characters. You can nab it from Itch for Windows, Mac, and Linux. This replaces a demo released in April 2016, toting a different script and new artwork.
I've sworn off love and all that mushy stuff myself because I'm an endless trainwreck that'd be best confined to a skerry in the Firth of Forth. That said, yeah, sure, after the prologue I'd play more. The cast are interesting, I'm up for the writing, and it looks less kooky than Danganronpa – or maybe more familiar.
Date or Die is being made by Arden Ripley (who you might know for Kindness Coins), Julian Cormac, and Jacquelyn Marina. No word yet on when the full game will launch.

Passover (or Pesach in Hebrew), the festival commemorating the Exodus from Egypt begins on Monday night and lasts for eight days. It has always been my favourite Jewish holiday.
What child doesn't like a party, and in our house growing up, the seder, the festive dinner which marks the first two nights, was celebrated as the mother of all banquets. Seders at home seldom had fewer than a dozen people around the table: grandparents, aunts, uncles, unmarried friends of my parents – and when we lived in Memphis, far from the rest of the family, a complement of Jewish sailors or airmen from the naval base at Millington. (It is in part the presence of Jesus and his twelve disciples around the table at their Passover seder – better known to Christians as the Last Supper – that gave rise to the superstition that thirteen is unlucky.)
But what I really loved were the seders hosted by my Aunt Anna and Uncle Morris, who'd made enough money in the not-entirely-legitimate business of supplying pinball and slot machines to local taprooms to be able to hire out the Lancaster (Pennsylvania) Jewish community centre, where my mother's entire very extended family – at least 100 people – would gather to eat, drink, schmooze and kvell over how gorgeous the grandchildren were. Perhaps because Anna and Morris had no children of their own, we were allowed to spend hours running up and down between the tables with our cousins, playing marathon games of hide and seek or tag, cadging sweets and sips of wine from the grownups (and silver dollars from Uncle Morris). At the head table, an island of calm amid the chaos, my father and the older uncles would drone their way through the Passover Haggadah, which tells the story of the Exodus from Egypt and sets out the order (seder is the Hebrew word for order) of the evening's festivities.
Fast forward 20 years, and my girlfriend and I are living in Brooklyn, hosting our first seder as a couple. Along with the predictable problems – whom to invite? What to cook? How long should we wait for my (chronically late) father before giving up and starting without him? – there loomed the whole issue of the Haggadah. Like most observant American Jews, I had grown up using what we always called the "Maxwell House Haggadah" – given out free in grocery stores wherever matzos and gefilte fish are sold. (And here's something that has always puzzled me: Maxwell House reportedly printed and distributed 40 million Haggadahs. Yet there are only about 6 million Jews in North America. And Orthodox Jews are forbidden to throw away any document with the name of God printed on it.)
And so began my love affair with the Haggadah. Because what I realised, late one afternoon in the library of the Jewish Theological Seminary – this was back in the days when spam was just a non-kosher snack, and you needed actual books to find stuff out – was that there are Haggadahs for every persuasion: not just Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, and Reconstructionist (or United, Masorti, Liberal and Progressive), and not just Ashkenazi (northern European Jews) and Sephardi (Jews from the Mediterranean and the Middle East). And not just for Jews, though our dispersal over the centuries means there are Haggadahs in Marathi (for the Jews of Bombay), Japanese, Chinese (for the Jews of Shanghai), Amharic, Arabic, as well as most European languages. There is even a Haggadah for fundamentalist Jews who want to re-enact the Temple sacrifice of the Paschal lamb! But there are also feminist Haggadahs, vegetarian Haggadahs (in which the lamb is liberated along with the Hebrew slaves), Kabbalist, secular and Christian Haggadahs and a Haggadah for African Americans (which points out that Martin Luther King's initials, MLK, are the Hebrew root for King).
The Passover story, of course, has long been an inspiration to liberation movements around the world. The African-American slaves who demanded "Let My People Go" were singing from the same hymn sheet as Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and John Adams, whose original design for the seal of the United States showed Pharoah and Moses on the shores of the Red Sea over the motto "Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God."
But you can't really understand the Passover story without getting to know the Haggadah. And so on Monday and Tuesday on Cif belief I'll be blogging on how to read the Haggadah. Until then two things to bear in mind: first, the Haggadah is not the Bible. Although some Jews believe some parts of the Hebrew Bible to be divinely inspired, everyone agrees that the Haggadah is a collection of texts, assembled by human beings over many centuries. Beyond that, though, the agreement ends – which is where you and I come in. Although I'm a Jew (and not merely Jew-ish, in Jonathan Miller's happy formulation) I'm no rabbi and pretend to no religious authority. Instead I'll be approaching the Haggadah as an avid reader, using the skills of a historian and journalist. If I get something wrong, I assume you'll let me know.
Next: What makes this book different from any other book? And why does Moses only get a cameo role in the Passover story?

The common raspberry is a thorny shrub with a perennial root, from which biennial shoots grow up to 1.5 metres in height. Raspberry bushes have alternate compound leaves, with three leaflets emerging from an upper bud, and five to seven leaflets growing from a lower bud. Raspberry flowers are small and white with a flossy hull. The flowering period is from June to July. Raspberries are an aggregate fruit, composed of individual, one-seeded drupelets set together on a small conical core.
The common raspberry grows on the edges of damp, shady forests, in forest clearings and lanes, and along rivers. Shrubs often grow in large groups forming thickets.

What are the causes of Tinnitus?
Tinnitus can be caused by many different things. Whether it was an accident that affected your ear, a prior health condition, or standing too close to a loud noise, all of these can lead to the development of Tinnitus. Here is a list of the common causes of Tinnitus:
- Loud Noise Exposure – Being too close to or being around extremely loud noise for an extended period of time can cause damage to the inner ear. This injury can lead to or develop into Tinnitus.
- Head Injuries or Neck Injuries – Any traumatic injury to the head can also cause injury to the organs of the inner ear, as well as any injury to the neck can also cause injuries to the ear.
- Head and Neck Tumors – Tumors in these areas of the body can pinch blood vessels and nerves which can cause damage to the ear. Tinnitus can arise from these complications.
- High Blood Pressure – Any extreme amount of pressure on the blood vessels can cause damage to the organs which the blood vessels run to. When the organs in the ear are subject to continuous high blood pressure, they can become damaged and Tinnitus can develop.
If you or a loved one is currently suffering from Tinnitus, you do not have to suffer through the pain needlessly.

A Laboratory Comparison of United States and British Army Typhoid-Paratyphoid VaccinePages: 535–551More LessSummary
A laboratory comparison of the potency of United States and British Army TAB vaccines in routine use in Egypt has been made. The investigation was undertaken with the foreknowledge that the British vaccines failed to prevent large epidemics of typhoid and a relatively high overall enteric fever morbidity in the post World War II environment of the Suez Canal Zone.
Current British TAB inoculation routine with both alcoholized and phenolized vaccines conveys to an individual at least three times as much bacterial material, including twice as much of the typhoid component, as does the present American practice.
The British alcoholized vaccine, compared with the equivalent phenolized product, produced significantly greater amounts of "Vi" agglutinin in mice. Very much larger amounts of American vaccine were required to equal the "Vi" agglutinin production of either type of British vaccine.
In a series of mouse protection tests the British alcoholized vaccine proved to be significantly more potent than the equivalent phenolized product. In the same experiments the American vaccine, even allowing for quantitative differences in bacterial content, compared with the British, was surprisingly ineffective.
The significance of these findings is discussed.
The Efficiency of the Zinc Sulfate Technic in the Detection of Intestinal Protozoa by Successive Stool Examinations 1Pages: 552–560More LessSummary
The estimates of efficiencies for the direct smear and zinc sulfate technic and the prevalence of certain protozoan infections in an institutional population are presented and compared with the results of a similar study in the literature. In regard to E. histolytica the efficiency of the direct smear was estimated to be 27 per cent, the zinc sulfate technic 59 per cent and the combination of the two technics 62 per cent. The superiority of the zinc sulfate technic is evident.
The efficiencies indicated herein may be used as a guide in planning other surveys. However, those determined in the present study apply only to this particular survey and it is recommended that in other surveys the parasitologist determine in a similar manner the efficiencies for his study so that valid estimates of prevalence rates can be made.
It might be emphasized that while the absolute efficiencies of the various technics apply only to the study herein reported, the relative efficiencies of the technics are probably valid for any survey in which the protozoa are primarily in the cystic stage.
On the basis of the estimates of efficiency obtained, the recommendation of repeated zinc sulfate examinations on different stools, in contrast to use of various technics on the same stool, is made.
In a series of repeat zinc sulfate examinations performed on 28 persons known to harbor E. histolytica, 71 per cent of the infected persons were detected on the first examination, 82 per cent through the second, 86 per cent through the third, 96 per cent through the fourth and 100 per cent through the fifth examination.
A simplified method of performing the zinc sulfate technic is described and it is felt that this will be of value to the parasitologist for stool surveys conducted in the future.
Measurements of Direct Amebicidal Potential by a Micro-Method for the Screening of Drugs in VitroPages: 561–565More LessSummary
- 1. The amebicidal potential of each of 10 drugs was evaluated by a newly developed method for demonstrating the direct amebicidal activity of various drugs in vitro.
- 2. Penicillin G, streptomycin, Chloromycetin, and bacitracin each exhibited a very low amebicidal potential whereas Aureomycin, terramycin, and Simaroubidin each exhibited a very high potential even in very low concentrations. Emetine HCl, actidione, and arsenamide sodium each exhibited remarkable amebicidal activity but their value as therapeutic agents is subject to unfavorable data concerning their toxicity.
- 3. The advantage of ameba-trypanosome cultures over ameba-bacteria cultures for the screening of drugs was demonstrated since the trypanosome associates were apparently unaffected by the drugs.
- 4. The value of the test-system was emphasized by the high degree of correlation between the results reported herein and the results previously reported from the testing of many of the same drugs in human cases of amebiasis.
- 5. The method is offered as a procedure for selecting from the large number of new drugs those of high amebicidal potential for more advanced studies in the treatment of amebiasis.
Aureomycin in the Treatment of Intestinal AmebiasisPages: 566–568More LessSummary
Forty-four cases of intestinal amebiasis treated with aureomycin are reported. Nineteen of them had asymptomatic amebic colitis, while twenty-five presented typical symptoms of amebic colitis, of which seven cases had secondary hepatic congestion and one, amebic abscess of the liver.
The dosage per day per kilogram of bodyweight was about 30 mg. The total amount administered was 15 grams in one case; 12 grams in 5 cases; 8 grams in 36 cases. In 2 children, the total was 3 grams.
The percentage of cures was 86.
The Effect of Lapinone (M-2350) on P. Vivax Infection in Man 1Pages: 569–571More Less
Naphthoquinone antimalarials of the general formula have been introduced by Fieser and his collaborators (1). They have shown remarkable activity against avian malaria not only as suppressive but also as prophylactic and curative agents. Some compounds which were very potent in the avian infection proved ineffective in human malaria probably because they are degraded, mainly oxidized, in the human body into less active or inactive products.
One compound, M-1916, has been tried in blood-induced malaria in man (P. vivax and P. falciparum) and it showed definite, although weak antimalarial activity. M-1916 is oxidized in the body to a new compound, which possesses about one tenth the activity of M-1916 but which persists in the blood for a long time. The weak antimalarial activity of M-1916 is thus to be attributed to the action of the oxidation product.
The Role of the House Fly, Musca Domestica, in the Multiplication of Certain Enteric Bacteria 1Pages: 572–582More LessSummary and Conclusions
Precise methods are described which made it possible to handle individual mounted flies fed controlled amounts of known culture suspensions. Collections of droppings from such flies were then studied for their aerobic bacterial content.
Normal stool flora studies were conducted on 36 Musca domestica with 61 isolations being made prior to feeding the test organism to the flies. Rechecks were carried out on these same flies immediately after their death to ascertain what changes, if any, had occurred in the aerobic bacterial flora during the period of confinement of the flies. While the presence of soil and water species was common, it is of interest to note that Proteus morganii was isolated from 28 of the 36 flies studied, and Aerobacter aerogenes was found in 20 of the 36 flies 24 hours after the insects were mounted and again at the death of the flies.
During the period of their confinement, mounted flies were fed daily with known quantities of sterile 0.5 molar sucrose solution and sterile skim milk from potometers. Droppings were collected in tubes containing 2.0 ml. of physiological saline or on the surface of non-nutrient agar plates from which isolations of the specific test organisms were attempted. Controlled studies eliminated the possibility that the stools, in themselves, might supply sufficient nutrients to allow active multiplication of the organisms excreted into the saline.
Of 132 Musca domestica investigated in controlled feeding experiments, 36 were fed known numbers of Escherichia coli, 48 were given measured amounts of Salmonella schottmülleri, and a third group of 48 flies received known numbers of Shigella dysenteriae in an effort to determine passage of the test species of bacteria through the digestive tract of the flies.
Flies in groups of twelve fed small numbers (less than 1000) of the specified organisms in a single feeding apparently do not pass these bacteria in their stools, but as the numbers of ingested bacteria increase, decided multiplication occurs within the insects as evidenced by the excretion of significantly greater numbers of the test species than were initially fed. This excretion remains at a high level for at least six days, but the death of many of the flies limited the length of the observation period.
Results Obtained in Testing Molluscacides in Field Plots Containing Oncomelania Nosophora, an Intermediate Host of Schistosoma JaponicumPages: 583–592More LessSummary
- 1. Out of 59 chemicals and mixtures tested in the laboratory on O. nosophora, 26 were selected for tests in field plots.
- 2. Six of these gave encouraging results. They included: calcium cyanamide, sodium dinitro-o-cresol, dinitro-o-cyclohexylphenol, its dicyclohexylamine salt, pentachlorophenol, and sodium pentachlorophenate.
The Use of Molluscacides in the Control of Oncomelania Nosophora, an Intermediate Host of Schistosoma JaponicumPages: 593–604More LessSummary
Three chemicals, sodium pentachlorophenate, dinitro-o-cyclohexylphenol, and its dicyclohexylamine salt, have been tried under field conditions in the control of Oncomelania nosophora. At the dosages used they gave similar results but the first two were much less expensive. These two chemicals cost about one half as much as calcium cyanamide, a compound that has been used in snail control in the area where these experiments were conducted. The more than 18 miles of ditches treated offered a wide variety of habitats. The molluscacides were least effective in areas where the sides of the ditches had loose rock walls. The reduction in the snail population averaged 81.7 per cent in areas treated in October. When treated in the spring the average reduction was 87.7 per cent. When the molluscacides were applied in the autumn and the spring the reduction averaged 95.4 per cent. Surveys conducted the following autumn showed that a few young snails were present in some of the areas. Eradication of Schistosoma japonicum in an area would necessitate a more or less continuous surveying and use of a molluscacide, until the snails were eliminated, or the human and reservoir hosts were no longer infected.
Antibody Response in Egyptian SplenomegalyPages: 605–610More LessSummary and Conclusion
A comparison is made between the antibody response in: (a) Normal persons. (b) Cases of splenomegaly unoperated on, though admitted and prepared for operation. (c) Cases operated on after immunisation. (d) Cases operated on before immunisation.
Compared with the first group, the antibody response in the second and third ones was found to be rather poor. In the fourth group it almost approached the average normal in those patients immunised one month after operation, but not in those immunised 16 days after it. This improvement in response is probably due to the elapse of sufficient time allowing a compensatory hypertrophy of healthy lymphoid tissue.
The poor response in the other cases is ascribed to the poverty of the fibrosed abnormal spleen in reticulo-endothelial cells some of which are blocked by red blood corpuscles and leucocytes. This abnormality probably explains why the removal of the spleen had no effect on an already low response; and it is suggested that such a spleen is an almost useless organ from the immunological point of view.
Fresh-Water Cercarial Dermatitis from Southern CaliforniaPages: 611–613More LessSummary
- 1. Natural and experimental dermatitis have been produced by cercariae which emerged from the fresh-water snail, Physa osculans Haldeman, collected in Southern California.
- 2. Three types of cercariae, differing in measurements from all previously described species, were found but their taxonomy will be considered in a future paper.
A Note on Filariasis among the Natives of Okinawa, with Particular Reference to Possible Transmission of Wuchereria Bancrofti by Anopheles Hyrcanus Sinensis 1Pages: 614–616More Less
Filariasis due to Wuchereria bancrofti (Cobbold) is endemic on Okinawa and available evidence indicates its probable presence throughout the southern Ryukyu Islands (1, 2). The infection is characterized by a high degree of nocturnal microfilarial periodicity, with the greatest density of microfilariae appearing in the peripheral blood between 8:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. (1000 to 0400) (3, 4, 5). The incidence of microfilaremia in the native population of Okinawa during the period April through July, 1945, as determined by examination of thick blood films or by the Knott concentration technique (6), was found to range from approximately ten to thirty percent in various groups (4, 5, 7). In general inhabitants of the rural districts were reported to show a higher incidence of microfilaremia than observed in groups of civilians evacuated from relatively urban areas in the southern part of the island.
Experimental Therapy of Onchocerciasis with Suramin and Hetrazan; Results of a Three-Year StudyPages: 617–623More LessSummary
Hetrazan had a spectacular and immediate effect against the microfilariae of Onchocerca volvulus but since it did not destroy the adult worms the disappearance of microfilariae was only temporary. Intravenous suramin, on the other hand, caused a more gradual disappearance of the microfilariae but since it also killed the adult worms, this disappearance was permanent in about 90 per cent of cases. Simultaneous treatment with intravenous suramin and oral Hetrazan combined the rapid action of Hetrazan with the permanent effect of suramin. Considering the added inconvenience of the additional treatment, it was not, however, thought to be superior to treatment with intravenous suramin alone. Oral administration of suramin was relatively ineffective.
Specific recommendations for the treatment of onchocerciasis with intravenous suramin (Naphuride Sodium, Winthrop-Stearns) are given.
Observations Based on Cutaneous Biopsies in OnchocerciasisPages: 624–627More LessSummary
- 1. A total of 3,310 cutaneous biopsies performed on 16 onchocercal patients revealed a distribution of microfilarias which confirmed previous observations of the author (2), namely that the shoulder and neighboring areas give a greater percentage of positive results than any other regions of the body.
- 2. In biopsies on patients with a single nodule, more microfilarias were found at the shoulder than at the site of the nodule, in 66% of the cases. This would seem to indicate that the microfilarias distribute themselves over the entire upper part of the body, a finding which does not support the common practice of taking skin from the vicinity of the nodule.
- 3. Although it has been recognized that the density of microfilarias may vary from time to time, the data here given show that negative biopsies may frequently alternate with positive ones on the same patient over a period of time, and hence repeated biopsies are important to reach a diagnosis or evaluate the results of therapy.
Observations on the Use of Hetrazan in Onchocerciasis in Mexico 1Pages: 628–632More LessSummary and Conclusions
Our results confirm the observation that Hetrazan does not possess activity against the adult worms. Although the lethal action of the drug against the microfilarias has been well demonstrated (10), most of our patients have shown a recurrence of the microfilarias after variable periods of negative biopsies extending up to 8 months, although in these cases the microfilarias were fewer in number than before starting the treatment. At times these recurrences could be explained by the presence of nodules containing living worms, but various patients (No. 2, 4, 9, 10, 12 and 15) did not show any nodules and still gave some positive biopsies. It is quite possible that adult worms were present that escaped detection and therefore extirpation. Also we may include the possibility that a certain proportion of the microfilarias may escape the action of the Hetrazan, harbored in some internal organ of the host.
Concerning the possibility of using Hetrazan prophylactically in endemic zones, it appears that only partial results can be obtained since the disappearance of the microfilarias does not occur in all the treated patients. It would be necessary to make studies on the density of microfilarias needed to insure infection of the simulid vectors. It seems evident that to obtain a permanent modification in the epidemiology of the disease it is indispensable to bring action against the vectors themselves with the object of decreasing their numbers. However, the administration of the drug to individual patients appears justified in view of the favorable clinical response obtained in most of the cases.
A Survey of the Mosquitoes of Guam in Two Periods in 1948 and 1949 and Its Epidemiological ImplicationsPages: 633–658More LessSummary and Conclusions
Two surveys of the mosquitoes of Guam in the post-World War II period have provided new data of value to persons concerned with mosquito control and epidemiological investigations on diseases of man.
In these studies two species of mosquitoes are recorded from Guam for the first time: Aedes albopictus and Anopheles subpictus indefinitus. The latter record is the first of an Anopheles imported and established in the Central Pacific Area. It is felt that both of these species were introduced in the period following 1945, but there is no indication of the way in which this occurred.
Interpretation of data on the biology of the adult stage of the 11 species now known from Guam, coupled with a review of their known disease vector abilities, has permitted a re-evaluation of the relative potential importance of the various species as vectors of human disease. It is concluded that as vectors of Japanese B encephalitis the following species should be kept under surveillance: Culex quinquefasciatus, Culex annulirostris marinae, Aedes vexans nocturnus, Aedes albopictus and Aedes pandani. Laboratory tests for encephalitis viruses on 20,361 mosquitoes representing 6 species have been negative. For dengue fever only Aedes albopictus would be suspected as a vector at this time. This opinion is influenced by the almost complete disappearance of Aedes aegypti, possibly due to earlier intensive control activities. Because of the habits of Anopheles subpictus indefinitus, the possibility of autochthonous malaria is believed to be minimal. It is felt that nocturnal filariasis might well be introduced and become endemic through the vector activities of Culex quinquefasciatus.
A sample of 2,261 larval collections have been analyzed as to larval habitats, association of various species and monthly distribution of sources. It is concluded that the majority of domestic pest and potential disease vector mosquitoes have come from sources directly attributable to the activities of man, namely, domestic water receptacles and domestic and military refuse. It is suggested that any program for mosquito control on Guam should be aimed at the detection and correction or elimination of these mosquito sources. In the immediate vicinity of heavily populated areas, inspection and abatement of mosquito sources in ground pools and water collections in plants and coconut shells would be an important adjunct to this program during and immediately following the rainy season.
Observations on Eretmapodites Silvestris Conchobius Edwards (Culicidae) in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan 1Pages: 659–664More LessSummary
Eretmapodites silvestris conchobius Edwards is added to the known mosquito fauna of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan. A description of its larval and pupal stages is given for the first time, together with field observations on its breeding and biting habits. The fact that mosquitoes of this genus are considered to be of potential importance in the transmission of yellow fever, and that this form was taken in the endemic yellow fever area of Southeastern Anglo-Egyptian Sudan is mentioned. Aedes (Stegomyia) simpsoni Theobald, a known yellow fever transmitter in other parts of Africa, is also listed from the same area.
Production of Polyvalent Antivenin against Trimeresurus Flavoviridis and Agkistrodon Blomhoffii Venoms 1Pages: 665–668More LessSummary
- 1. Immunization of a horse with a mixture of Trimeresurus flavoviridis and Agkistrodon blomhoffii venoms resulted in the production of a highly satisfactory, potent polyvalent antivenin.
- 2. The antivenin titers against both venoms were high and exceeded minimal acceptable potency standards.
- 3. Seventy days were required for hypervenomization and the total dosage injected was 161.1 mgs. for each of the venoms employed.

Parasitic Infections of ManPages: 669–670More Less
This is not, nor is it intended to be, either a textbook or complete reference book of medical parasitology. Rather it is made up of fourteen more or less independent summaries of recent experimental work in fourteen more or less related aspects of medical parasitology which were originally presented as a symposium of the New York Academy of Medicine on March 15 and 16, 1949. The fourteen different authors were selected because each had had particular experience in the aspect of the subject which he presented. Each author, thus, should be able to write with the weight of authority on the subject covered. For the most part, this is true not only with reference to his own work but in the review of the literature as well. Even a review such as this, however, may be outdated by the time it appears.
Manson's Tropical Diseases—A Manual of the Diseases of Warm ClimatesPages: 670–670More Less
Manson-Bahr's text has, for many years, been the standard tropical medicine reference work in areas abroad, principally under British medical influence. Undoubtedly, it will continue to flourish in these areas, although more recently, excellent texts in the English language have been written by American authors.
The thirteenth edition of Manson-Bahr is patterned after its more recent predecessors, although several sections, including the one on climatology, have been omitted. Attempts have been made to present the recent advances in the chemotherapy of the major infections of tropical importance, although the author admits the rapid progress, in some cases, has precluded absolute timeliness in every instance. The therapy of malaria is fairly complete from the historical point of view, and from the fact that most of the important drugs are discussed.

I bought a spare battery DMW - BCG10E for my Panasonic DMC-ZS3 Digital Camera but it doesn't work since the firmware is meant for Version 1.1.

Rainbow Warrior (sometimes Rainbow Warrior III) is a purpose-built motor-assisted sailing yacht owned and operated by Greenpeace and intended for use in their activities such as environmental protests and scientific excursions. She was christened on October 14, 2011,[4] and has replaced Rainbow Warrior II after further upgrades and maintenance of the older ship had been shown to be impractical.[5]
The vessel is the first Rainbow Warrior that is not converted from another vessel. Her hull was constructed in Poland and she was built in Germany, to provide state-of-the-art facilities for the group's use, including advanced telecommunication equipment, specialised scientific equipment and a helicopter landing pad.[6] The ship is also designed to be one of the "greenest" ships afloat, and to showcase this quality, it runs primarily using wind power, with a 55 m mast system which carries 1255 sq meters of sail and is backed up by a "state-of-the-art hybrid". On board the ship can store up to 59 cubic meters of greywater and blackwater, avoiding the need for disposal at sea. All materials, from the paintwork to the insulation, have been chosen with a view to sustainability, and each component has been supplied with transparent ethical sourcing.[2]
Construction and crowdfunding[edit]
Construction of the ship began in the summer of 2010 in Gdansk before being transported to the Fassmer Shipyard near Bremen in Germany to be fitted out before being launched in October 2011. The ship was in part funded by a crowd funding project set up by Greenpeace. Supporters were encouraged to buy parts of the ship through a specifically designed website. Supporters in turn received a certificate for their contribution and had their names etched onto a digital artwork on board the vessel. The website live-streamed names and messages, tying people directly to the part of the ship they contributed to. The multimedia site was also accompanied by a webcam allowing people to follow the ship's construction up to its launch date.[7] The project received over 100,000 donors from around the world.[8]
First tour[edit]
After its launch in Bremerhaven, Germany, the new Rainbow Warrior toured ports in Europe (Hamburg, Amsterdam, London, Stockholm and Barcelona) welcoming supporters on board the new ship and holding specific events such as onboard concerts. The ship was also visited by celebrity supporters such as Radiohead's Thom Yorke, who was part of the ship's maiden voyage,[9] and Michelin two-starred chef Diego Guerrero in Barcelona.[10] In January 2012, the ship travelled to the East Coast of the USA, planning to dock at New York City, Baltimore, Southport, North Carolina, Fort Lauderdale and St. Petersburg, Florida.[11] In March 2013, the ship travelled to Australia.

UConn to offer new major in Chinese Studies
STORRS >> The University of Connecticut has received approval to offer a new major in Chinese Studies.
The school's Board of Trustees approved the plan last week.
The Bachelors of Arts degree in Chinese will include the study of Chinese languages, literature, linguistics and the history of China. School officials say it is an in-demand major because of China's increasing role in the global economy.
The school says implementing the major will not require any new resources.
