Gelfand-Anand G4, another Chebanenko Slav, drawn after 34 moves (VIDEO)
The fourth match game between Boris Gelfand behind the white pieces and Vishy Anand behind the black pieces was drawn after 34 moves. Again the World Champion from India defended himself with a Chebanenko Semi-Slav and again he got equality with Black quite easily. The score is 2-2 with eight more games to play.

The 2012 World Championship match still hasn't seen a decisive game. Now that the fourth game ended in a draw as well, on Thursday a World Championship match starts that will last only eight games. Obviously it's too early to speculate, but some journalists have already been joking about the nightmare scenario of twelve draws, when a rapid and blitz tiebreak will have to decide this match...
Like in the second game, a Chebanenko/Meran came on the board. Gelfand deviated at move 10 but Anand had clearly expected the move and continued playing fast. In fact it was theory until 16.Rad1, which created some sort of 'Babylon tower' (with the whole d-file filled with pieces), as Sergey Shipov called it.
A few moves later White 'won' the bishop pair, which made commentator Jan Timman believe that White must have a tangible advantage. However, not long afterwards the position had become dry and just like in the second game, the advantage of white's bishop against black's knight wasn't serious enough for Gelfand to continue playing.
Here's our video report, which includes some more observations by the legendary Dutch GM Jan Timman:

At this rate just one win would be sufficient for winning the match.
No surprise there. But it's all the more proof of the class of these guys. They are hard to beat!
Ohhh mercery God, give me back my 6 minutes that I spent on watching this game live on CB ...

Perhaps Vishy, who has won in different championship formats, wants to add winning in the tiebreaks to his resume.
I think the slow start helps Anand. He seems less nervous now. And if, like Toiletov, Gefand assumes he can't go toe to toe with Vishy at tighter time controls, Boris will be forced to over-reach. Boris's other problem
, However, is that Vishy is simply much better in imbalanced positions.
You might be right there, Anand is still faster and maybe better in those complicated positions. But all it takes is one blunder. As for the Tie break, Gelfand has won many knock out mini matches in rapid tie breaks. Despite Anand's prowess in rapid I don't think Gelfand is afraid of TB.
Gelfand's style, to try to get a tiny positional advantage and nurse it to victory, is just not good enough against super elite players like Vishy. He needs to turn up the heat and play more aggressively, otherwise Vishy will have no problems with Black at all. He is too well prepared and accurate in defence. Gelfand needs more messy positions where errors are easier to make - even for a super GM - and trust in himself and his prep to win the slugfest. Otherwise, I think, Vishy will land a blow or two as White and easily defend as Black and it will all be over! Gelfand is willing to play sharply as Black - why not as White? A mystery. If he thinks Anand is vulnerable to aggressive Black openings, then why not to White?
Jan Timman commenting live mentioned the same point but his guess was that Vishy as white will anyway press for a win and there the position is anyway going to get sharp and hence why not sharpen it yourself to a known prepared territory like the Grunfeld. But as white, just play it solid and have tiny edge and probe if Anand will take risks.

Maybe Gelfand counts on the surprise element: the anti-Moscow wouldn't be a surprise (Vishy would certainly be prepared) but the Grunfeld was. Then what would be an aggressive surprise weapon with white: 1.e4 e5 f4??!
No, If Boris starts with e4 then Anand will most certainly go for c5. He will not let Boris go for Ruy Lopez of Kings gambit for that matter. Anand is too good with Sicilian.
1 year 11 months ago
Indeed, Anand is wating for Boris's e4 switch, he's Sicilian expert. But nowaday, there're only d4 and the boring Berlin everywhere. The Grunfeld is not so sharp as before, sad but true
Maybe he'd love to nurse a tiny advantage with black as well but that is just not possible. I think it was Karpov who observed something like that in Polugajevski; with white he'd play quiet and positional but with black he would throw himself at the opponent because he felt black was worse anyway.
Whatever the case, Gelfand's strategy might just pay out.
Any truth to the rumour Kramnik is assisting Gelfand?
1 year 11 months ago
It´s not Gandalf´s style in general, and connected to that - he actually played his second Gruenfeld too agressively , almost losing the game. On the other hand , Anand is opting for quiet equalizers as black, while showing pretty much nothing with white, but people (esp. some journalists) tend to ignore that , while pressing the challenger.
Additionally , one of Anand´s defeats in his match vs Topa came from pretty equal different color bishops (speaking of ´not good enough against super elite...´).
IMO Gelfy´s ´black counterpunching + white microplusNursing´ strategy is optimal for this match, the only minus being his too early(!?) draw offers in 1st and 4th.

Look at the rating performances! Gelfand's is more than 60 points higher so he is clearly in better shape!
Listen, rating performance is based on with whom you have competed. In a swiss tournament, there are many players you play with, so rating performace is bit different. But in this match you are playing with only one person, and therefore if there are all draws, then lower rated persons rating performance is the rating of higher rated person and vice a versa. So its no surprise that Anand is playing at Boris level and Boris is playing at Anand level since there are all draws thus far.
Ratings don't matter - it's all about who wins the match, even by the minimum margin
Anand will not take risks as Black, Harish, unless he falls seriously behind - he will continue this super solid stuff, which is working excellently so far. It is up to Gelfand to raise the stakes.
1 year 11 months ago
I have a feeling Anand is waiting for Geldfand to play agressively, then Anand will get him.
Grandmaster Gelfand is the challenger therefore he must rise to the occasion, beat the reigning world champion Grandmaster Anand.
Pictures show that there is no dress code in world championship match. So why the ECU burocrats impose it on the lesser gods?
I believe Gelfand has good chances to become world champion. Gelfand is more a match player than a tournament player, Anand is past his peak and will power can overcome strength sometimes (every top level chess player dreams to become world champion in his life, Anand has already reached it).
On the other hand, I think Anand still has the most chess knowledge, he's always extremely well prepared for world championship matches, he might be more relaxed due to his experience (this is his third world championship match in the last five years), he knows that he's the favourite among the spectators and his recently poor results might be due to not wanting to give away home prep (I remember him playing poorly too in the months before the world championships against Kramnik and Topalov).
1 year 11 months ago
"I remember him playing poorly too in the months before the world championships against Kramnik and Topalov"
Even if that was in one single event very close to the match, while he won for example Linares 2008. Now he hasn't beaten any other 2700 player than Vallejo the last one and a half year but lost against several and finished bottom half in tournaments, so he has looked considerably weaker than in 2007-2008.
When people comment about the draws and how the US national championship is better(!!!), please remember the level and preparation of these two players. This is a World Championship with EVERYTHING at stake. A small mistake on either side might decide the World Champion. What appears a simple draw to "us" will have lots of theory and reasons for these two great players.
Let us admire and enjoy the level of the games.
You quote that "The computer is now so powerful, that it becomes impossible to out-prepare another top player in the opening.", but you also quote the exact opposite that "The computer is now so powerful, that it becomes easy to out-prepare another top player in the opening". Basically it boils down to what lines you are analyzing. There is always a good chance that the line you analyzed was not analyzed by your opponent with the computer. For instance if in the first game Gelfand played the Grunfeld and Anand had to opt for a side-line to avoid directly stepping into preparation. But then in the 3rd game he was prepared by then to play 3.f3 line. Similarly Gelfand avoided the main Qc2 line as white against Anand's slav as he had possibly not expected the a6 slav, but today he tried it out. A small battle of tests concluded after 4 games. Now we may move onto newer frontiers. The computers have just changed the nature of the battle of wch matches i.e. the perspectives have changed, but it remains interesting.

Harish, I agree with you. Both these players are playing at an incredibly high technical level. And the thing is, it is not only in opening preparation, but they are also highly skilled in the middlegame and endgame as well.
Anand missed a win in game 3, it is said. But it was not an easy win to find. Either the patterns were irregular enough, or he was tired from the first phase of the game, or he is slightly out of form.
Otherwise, he seems ok to me. Maybe he is one of those players that get in form while playing!
What on earth are you talking about?? When did I say that "The computer is now so powerful, that it becomes easy to out-prepare another top player in the opening"?
From you blog and I quote
"Imagine the following experiment. Lock Anand and myself in separate flats, for a week, on our own, to analyse a certain opening variation. Even if I work every bit as hard as Anand, or even harder, at the end of the week, he will have analysed the line much better than me - he sees tactics faster, his positional judgement is better, etc. There will be a large gap in the quality of the analysis we each produce."
In the end the top player will rise to the occasion.
The advent of powerful computers have ensured that the games are now top quality and not determined by some human blunder.

Sorry I meant to say you can also quote the opposite and the statement holds. I,e if you were to say the computer is so powerful that it is easy to out prepare opponent, then that is also quite true and it really depends on whether two opponents are analyzing the same or completely different openings.

There is a reason why Gelfand hasn't scored a win against Anand in almost 20 years.
He has been so risk averse that he has not been willing to leverage the advantage of the first move. That requires dynamic play and unbalanced positions. Anand demonstrated in the Topalov match that he is willing to defend "bend, but don't break" positions in the Slav. It is up to Gelfand to dictate the terms of the opening play. He does need to switch to 1. c4 or 1. e4--just to give Anand something to think about. I am not sure that Anand would adopt the Sicilian Defense against 1. e4. After all, Gelfand himself played the Sicilian for many years,
Each draw brings the players closer to the rapid tiebreaks in which Anand should be a favourite.

I think it's strange Gelfand didn't push a little harder and longer. Engines may be right with their evaluation of +0.03, but that doesn't say anything about how difficult it is to maintain this in an actual game. For example, in the line 32 Rc6 Rxc6 33 Bxc6 Kf8 34 Ke2 Ke7 35 Kd3 Kd6 36 Bf3!? Kc5 37 a3 white's position seems 'a bit more equal than black's', I would say. Shipov (danamackenzie.com) says something similar about the final position.
I think the way for Gelfand to have a chance to win this match is not changing his style (that will most probably backfire) but to have a little less respect for his opponent. Some people may think it's very nice both are being the perfect gentleman, but you do need some killing intent to beat a stronger player.

is stamina at play here or a important factor. i remember many games by Carlsen where he keeps on playing dead games and sometimes squeezes a win.
1 year 11 months ago
I think that you have a good point here. Houdini assesses the hair as a slight plus for Anand about +0.03 but Rybka gives it -0.03 i.e. a slight edge in favour of Gelfand. Although the engines disagree it's clear that their assessments have a huge impact these days on personal preparation.
I dont agree, again (people are not reading the previous posts , so I will have to partially repeat myself) on Gelfand´s style (many posters here seem to be unfamiliar with it , just checking his Kazan games , for example, should give you the insight: he was one of the few , with Topa , attacking with black, playing sicilian - no matter that he has Petroff - pretty safe equaliser - on his repertoire , and he scored 2 victories while EVERYONE else scored 1 - out of 30 games! - his performance has obviously been overshadowed by the infamous ´drawfest´ label auto-sticked to everything happening there) and match strategy (again , I guess that white microplus nursing is an excellent choice in this situation - remember Topalov´s victory against Vishy in their match , in that seemingly boring and equal different color bishops) , just he should ´nurse´ it few moves longer here and there.
PS Vishy is , also , showing even less with white IMO, while going for equalisers with black , but due to his shiny crown ;) and , naturally, much bigger fanbase, the pressure to play dynamically is , by default, on Gelfy.

Tanning is nothing more than the efficient, protective mechanism of the body: a response to injury from sunlight and a way to protect us from additional injury. That "healthy-looking" tan, usually associated with good health and enviable sex appeal, is, in fact, damaged skin. The best suntan is no suntan at all!
In early times, sun-tanned skin was associated with those who worked outdoors for a living – the peasants, the farmers, the serfs. People of means, those from the upper social classes and nobility, took pains to stay of the sun to preserve their natural color. Medieval beauties were admired for their indoor pallor, while the traditional fresh fairness of Englishwomen, a combination of genes, high humidity, and minimum sunlight, has been extolled by lovers and envied by other women.
Because the tanning mechanism is not 100 percent efficient, repeated sun exposure allows certain wavelengths of light to penetrate this defense barrier, causing the various sun-related skin conditions.
The more subtle changes caused by the sun's rays may not be apparent for decades, but they do and will occur in every person who is foolish enough to expose himself or herself to excess. Therefore, the only good suntan is no suntan at all.
Compare the sun-exposed portions of your body – your face, hands, forearms – with those parts of your anatomy (your buttocks, for example) that are almost never exposed. Note the difference in smoothness and texture. Your buttocks are young; your hands and face are old. (Everyone should look at his or her buttocks in the mirror and think: This is how my face should look!)
For you fair-haired, fair-skinned, and blue-eyed people, tanning, if it does occur, is a slow process. You have much smaller pigment cells than your dark-haired, darker-skinned, brown-eyed neighbors. So you burn more easily and require infinitely more sun exposure to produce even a modest tan. If you are dark-skinned, on the other hand, merely a brief exposure to the sun often produces a lasting tan.
For you light-skinned people who, despite all admonition, still desire that bronzed look, here are a few rules:
All this, however, is trial and error. Only you will know how much sun you can tolerate on first and subsequent exposures without causing painful sunburn.
People are classified into various skin types depending on their levels of melanin pigmentation. The simplest classification – the one I prefer – is as follows:
Depending upon the type of skin you have, there is a wide range of sunscreen products that are rated according to the degree of protection they can give against ultraviolet radiation. This rating is called the Sun Protection Factor (SPF).
This SPF is a guide and a numbering system to assess the efficacy of sunscreen agents. The number represents the number of times longer you can stay in the sun if you use the product than if you used nothing. A number 15, for example, will provide 15 times the user's natural skin protection. In other words, let us say you are susceptible to developing mild sunburn after being out in the sun for one hour. If you apply an SPF-15 sunscreen before sunbathing, you will be able to lie out in the sun for 15 hours before developing your mild burn. (Who is going to lie out in the sun for 15 hours at a stretch? Where on this earth can anyone do that?) And you will see all kinds of SPF numbers ranging from 2 to 50!
I believe everyone – every skin type – should use an SPF-15 sunscreen. As far as I am concerned, the numbers higher than 15 are meaningless. An SPF-15 sunscreen will filter out 93 percent of the harmful UVB rays. Isn't that enough for most individuals? When using any sun-protection product, follow the directions given by the manufacturer, and reapply it every two or three hours. Always reapply after swimming.
The best approach to sun tanning is common sense. This large envelope we call the skin has to last a lifetime, so give it the protection it deserves.
A word about those tanning salons that have sprung up all over the country. Although advertised as using the "safer" long-wave ultraviolet rays (UVA), the lamps used in these salons are fraught with the same hazards as other forms of radiation. There are definite dangers associated with repeated exposure to UVA. These ray go deeper into the skin and, in addition to the premature aging, wrinkles, the loss of elasticity, and the potential for developing skin cancer, other harmful effects may include:
In addition, there are many reported cases of people "catching" lice, scabies, herpes, fungous infections, warts, tinea versicolor, and other infectious diseases from those salons that are not strict about sanitizing their equipment.
One famous dermatologist once said, "I could never understand why people would pay to get skin cancer when they can get it free!"
Do your skin – and yourself – a favor: stay away from those artificial tanning rays.
A note about children's skin: since children often spend many hours playing in the sun, protecting children's skin from the sun's harmful rays is one of the most important ways to promote their long-term health. Before sun exposure, always apply a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15 to any child's skin over the age of 6 months. Sun protection in childhood is extremely important to prevent skin cancer later in life.

You want to modernize Russia with information like above ?? Poor Russians. Maria would be ashamed of you as this forum is about her and not about someone from Russia who thinks he knows it all !
Before accusing people about wrong information, you should check your own knowledge and level in Physics. Everybody knows that long sun light exposition is not good for people's skin particuliarly if you have no protection. It is not a discovery, it is a well known fact by everybody and scientists.
Microwave radiations and nuclear radiation exist and they are dangerous for our health; if you live near them for a long time. It is a well known fact, since the first military radar was created during the WWII and the first atomic bomb was launched on japan.
First, I said before that we don't need your advice to modernize Russia.
Second, Russian people are not poor at all, Russia has many talents in all sports. These talents are the best in the USA also. I support all athletes of my country and Masha is not the only one. We have athletes who live in the usa, europe and russia, but they are all russian and they never change their nationality. Russia&exURSS is one of the country which had the best athletes&scientists in the world.
You should check your own poor people in the usa, many of them are illiterate and the unemployment increases (9%), the economics of the usa is a soap bubble, the recent economic crisis showed it clearly. Only immigrants from other countries such as Maria Sharapova and other famous people make the usa interesting because they work more&harder than other people in the usa.
"As a resident of Washington, D.C., I continue to benefit from the contributions of Russians -- specifically, from Alexander Ovechkin," the President said. "We are very pleased to have him in Washington, D.C.
Third, as Maria Sharapova is russian herself and her parents live in Russia, she understands me very well.
Fourth, if you are not agree with us, you can support an athlete of your own country so you will give her a good advice how to modernize your own country with electromagnetic pollution and nuclear pollution.

'Earth Vs Flying Saucers' talks about radition if you remember it... Maria if you could have whatever you wanted what would it be? 'What' do you like to do for fun? Do you like the real deal?
The film is set in 1956, one year before the first satellite, Sputnik I, was launched into orbit around the Earth. "Project Skyhook," a proposed American space-exploration program to launch a dozen satellites, is visited by an alien flying saucer. A misunderstanding by the Earthlings leads to the aliens being fired upon, and they retaliate by destroying the project site, killing everyone except the two principal characters, Dr. and Mrs. Marvin (a scientist and his wife and secretary). The sequence of events quickly spirals out of control and leads to a full scale invasion. Flying saucers attack Washington, D.C., Paris, London, and Moscow. In the end, the alien saucers are defeated over the skies of Washington by a device using high-power sound coupled with an electric field that stops the saucers' propulsion systems.

I don't smoke, I am a sportman.
From Camilla Rees:
I am pleased to share with you research published yesterday by members of the Russian Academy of Sciences, in Radiation Biology. Radiation Ecology (Volume 51, No.5, 2011), showing serious cognitive declines in children using cellular communications in a 4-year study.
Dr. Yury Grigoriev, who heads the Russian National Committee on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection in Russia says,"Over the four-year monitoring of 196 children ages 7-12 who were users of mobile communication devices, a steady decline in these parameters from high values to bottom standards, compared to controls, was observed."
Summaries of the 2-part study are posted at ElectromagneticHealth.org.http://electromagnetiche...ussian-res-children-emf/
The study itself is in Russian, and is linked here, as well. This news is very important, and reinforces what Thomas Rau, MD of the Paracelsus Clinic said in his interview with Electromagnetic Health.org–that if we continue to expose children to this radiation, we will end up with "Dumb Children". Maybe this prospect will get the attention of larger numbers of people now.
I think it is high time we refocus the discussion about this emerging public health issue to include, beyond the predictions for brain tumors growth (which are unfortunately now starting to manifest in the recent trend data from UK, Israel, Finland and Norway), the cognitive effects on us all, which are happening to many people and now. Other priorities should be the DNA effects, and the potential long term consequences for children, and for the human species, from blanketing ourselves in this radiation. Our voices must get louder. And we must together press for long-term solutions to this problem.
All the best,Camilla Rees

By Robin Wright, Special to CNN
November 28, 2011 -- Updated 1437 GMT (2237 HKT)
Editor's note: Actor and activist Robin Wright recently traveled to eastern Congo with the Enough Project, a Washington-based group focused on ending genocide and crimes against humanity. Hervideo trip diary appears as a special feature on a new UK edition of "Blood in the Mobile," available on DVD.
(CNN) -- A 10-year-old boy, his face still innocent, abducted from his village and forced to kill alongside ruthless militia fighters. A 60-year-old grandmother too ashamed of the injuries caused by a brutal rape to leave her house for five months, even though her wounds worsened. A girl who reminded me of my own daughter, bridging the years between youth and womanhood, who had been dragged into a forest near her house by a group of men and raped, over and over again.
Images of these people, whose quiet but warm personalities barely hint at the atrocities they have survived, give a human face to the conflict in eastern Congo that has long moved me as an activist. With well over 5 million people dead through war and its accompanying hardships spanning more than a decade, it is difficult to imagine the daily impact of a conflict of this magnitude, much less to feel empowered to do anything about it.
Robin Wright
A new documentary film, "Blood in the Mobile," powerfully addresses both the limits of the imagination and our sense of connection to atrocities committed on the other side of the world. Through a shaky camera in the damp and dark mines of eastern Congo, filmmaker Frank Poulsen introduces us to some of the young men (and even children) toiling at the first stage of Congo's lucrative business in tin, tantalum, tungsten and gold. But the wealth of this industry doesn't really benefit the Congolese miners for their back-breaking, perilous and poorly paid work -- not by a long shot.
Militia groups and factions of the Congo's army control many mines, imposing heavy "taxes" on miners for whom there are few alternatives for making a living. Juxtapose these gritty images of Congo with shots filmed at the headquarters of Nokia, the electronics powerhouse that sells these minerals in its consumer products, and you have a message that is difficult to ignore: the cell phones, laptops, digital cameras and other products we have come to rely on link all of us to the conflict in Congo.
As consumers, we're perpetuating the conflict. We have an obligation but also an opportunity.
I was fortunate to have a chance to travel to eastern Congo recently to see with my own eyes and to feel, even with the relative safety of traveling with the ever-attentive Fidel Bafilemba of the Enough Project, the psychological effect of spending time in an unpredictable conflict zone. I was struck by how we witnessed the raw, nervous strain of communities said to be post-conflict, post-traumatic.
But nothing seemed to be "post-": Indeed, these communities appear to be enduring conflict and trauma on a daily basis. Local organizations, from the reintegration center for child soldiers to the rehabilitation center for survivors of sexual violence, are working as hard as they can to provide solace and a hopeful future for those most physically and emotionally harmed by the conflict. But as necessary as these efforts are, they treat the symptoms; there is little concept of pre-emptive or preventive.
Two years had passed since U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton came to one of the same towns I visited. Nearly everyone I met remembered "Mama Clinton" and asked me to follow up with her when I returned to the United States. "I think it is no secret to you," one woman said, speaking into the videocamera and addressing Clinton. "Our wealth is being plundered, and that's why we are being raped." She urged Clinton to make good on her promise to bring high-level U.S. attention to the crisis in Congo.
In particular, Clinton's leadership and gravitas are needed to implement an international certification scheme that enables companies to trace the source of the minerals to ensure that they aren't funding armed groups, and that allows consumers to choose which companies to give business to, based on their human rights record in Congo.
Visiting Congo for the first time without knowing the local language, Kiswahili, I was dependent on my talented interpreter Fidel for putting into words my countless questions and gratitude to the people I interviewed. But in those moments when I sat face-to-face with women, neither of us speaking while we listened to his translation, I would often catch a look, a slight nod, that clearly said, "I know you know. I know you understand."
Women have a natural, inherent knowingness, an unspoken connection between us, as mothers, wives and sisters. For several years I have followed Congo from afar, understanding theoretically and intellectually how we in the United States could help end the conflict. Now I deeply feel the why.

December 24, 2011, Berkeley, CA, USA & Stockholm, Sweden. An important new analysis, The Potential Impact of Mobile Phone Use on Trends in Brain and CNS Tumors, was published today in the journal Neurology & Neurophysiology. It can be downloaded without cost athttp://www.omicsonline.o...562/2155-9562-S5-003.pdf. The paper is in a Special Issue of the journal titled "Brain Tumor." The study raises very serious concerns about the potential for a large increase in brain cancer incidence, resulting from widespread mobile phone use. The steep increase in brain cancer will begin in approximately 15 years according to the projections. The paper, by researchers Örjan Hallberg in Sweden and L. Lloyd Morgan in the U.S., first reviews biological effects from mobile phone use reported in peer-reviewed studies, such as increased permeability of the blood-brain barrier, deleterious effects on sperm, double strand breaks in DNA, stress gene activation (indicating an exposure to a toxin), and increased risk of an acoustic nerve tumor (acoustic neuroma) and brain cancer after 10 or more years of mobile phone use. It then considered two established mechanisms for the development of brain cancer—that mobile phone use decreases the efficiency of the repair of mutated DNA and that mobile phone use increases the rate of DNA mutations. In developing the model from brain cancer registry data, mathematical model parameters are selected which provide a best fit to the age adjusted registry data. The model can be considered reasonably accurate if it approximates both the age-specific brain cancer incidence (e.g., 30-34 year age cohort) and the age-adjusted brain cancer incidence from the cancer registry data. It can then be used by the researchers to predict future brain cancer incidence. Based on a 30-year time between first mobile phone use and diagnoses of brain cancer (latency time), the model predicts that there will be a 100% increased incidence of brain cancer (2-fold) if DNA repair efficiency is decreased by mobile phone use, and a 2,400% increase in brain tumors (25-fold) if mobile phone use mutates DNA. The figure below, from the paper illustrates these predictions.
Figure 3. Norwegian brain tumor age-adjusted rates per 100,000 person-years by calendar year for reported data with 3 results from mobile phone use 1) Increased DNA damage 2) no DNA repair and 3) has no effect.
The public health risk modeling process used in this analysis was developed by Örjan Hallberg and has been successfully applied in other illnesses, including Alzheimer's disease and melanoma. Hallberg says, "Such modeling, or risk projection, is important, whether for the climate or for diseases, in that it allows public health contingency planning, should the model be reasonable accurate. For example, will there be sufficient neurosurgeons should brain tumors increase as the model predicts?" Morgan says, "What this analysis shows is that, unless mobile phone usage behavior patterns change significantly, we can reasonably expect a pandemic of brain tumors, for which we are ill-prepared, beginning approximately 15 years from now. Governments, as well as parents, physicians, schools and all citizens, would be well advised to educate all persons under their care or influence about the need to curtail the use of mobile phones and other radiation-emitting consumer devices."

She, all athletes and spectators should invest in zinc oxide/titanium oxide sunscreen.
The atmosphere in the coming months will allow more radiation of all types to the earths surface. This is due to a removal of moisture from the air. Although it may actually feel (and technically be) cooler, the water vapor that would ordinarily absorb the broader emf spectrum will allow low levels of radiation upto such as xrays to pass.
Australia already has a dry atmosphere. Additional removal of water could be quite like an enormous hole in the ozone layer (which will be thinned prejudicially as well).
As such it is nessesary to deflect that energy physically. Even small amounts of zinc oxide/titanium oxide applied with sunscreen can provide some protection where ordinary sunscreen does absolutly nothing. It is also a great way to stay cool.

Swim fast, kick hard.....make as much wake as possible. Me being 6'1, 230 with a shaved head is usually intimidating enough. If not.....make em' feel like they're in the ocean!
There is a swimmer in our pool whose appearance is "dreaded" by many of us. As soon as she enters your lane and starts her laps, the whole lane gets slowed down for a at least an hour, because, #1, she never stops and never give a chance to others when she's at the end of the pool and is going for another lap while another swimmer had been waiting to start; #2, whenever she encounters someone during the laps (whether in the same or opposite direction), she would continue as if others don't exist, as if it's her own lane and as if she's thinking "get out of my way please"; #3, and that's the most important point: she's slower than all the others in the lane. So everyone else has to slow down because the lane is not so wide, and from time to time you see people try everything they could to get around her, or backstrokers hitting her from behind (and she would still go on like you were just a fly).
She usually continues like this for at least one hour, could be 90 minutes. She probably has her rule in mind, to never stop during the lap. That's fine as many of people here do that, but that works only if your speed is comparable to the others sharing the lane.
What's the best way to deal with such a fellow swimmer?

I'm not saying do this but.....I've seen people get stitches, bloody noses, black eyes, broken fingers, etc from being hit in the face (or elsewhere) by butterflyers and people with paddles during pulling sets in practice through the years.
and just forget it if you are doing a butterfly pulling set with paddles! (I still use my BIG blue ones with the drilled holes that I used in college)
if they don't have a care in the world, why should you (plus you were there first, you have dibs, you have rights....)
I'd grab her by the ankles to stop her, ask her to remove her goggles, then I'd look her straight in the eyes and explain proper swim lane etiquette
to her. (has anyone talked to her yet) I'd be polite but firm! If this didn't work I'd make sure my facility has lap lane etiquette posted somewhere and I'd let the lifeguard do the dirty work.
Swim breaststroke ahead of her...wear a ripped through the seat old suit.. she'll get the message...
The pools I swim at never get more then 2 people in a lane so I guess I'm lucky. Usually you kinda scope out whose your speed. I've been doing a lot of SYC lately so I stop a lot but I try not to get in their way.
I have however have had kids just cross the pool and get into the lane, almost hit one the other day.
Has anyone talked to this swimmer about rules to use?? If not,, do so next time , if yes & this continues -- take your lane back & swim over - into & on this problem. When we talk to swimmers that still don't listen, we flip & push off those that stop in the middle of the wall. They get the idea really fast!!
I don't think anyone has talked to her about it (heck how can you have a chance to talk to her when she never stops the laps). I suppose she's aware that she's making inconvenience for others since it's so obvious. Maybe she wants to brag "I swim nonstop for ... miles/hours". When you have such a swimmer it is worse than those static old swimmers: the latter blocks you only at one spot, where they are, whereas the nonstop swimmer blocks you for the entire length: you have to follow her speed all the way.
How good are your underwaters? If it's deep enough that's always an option. If you pass her enough times this way maybe she'll get the hint...
She has as much right to a good swim in that lane as you do. Deal with it and get over yourselves.
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - Voltaire
I swim in a pool now that has a lot of slow swimmers and narrow lanes. A couple of the slow swimmers use paddles and refuse to share. Being 5 6 and 145 pounds and old the two fools swinging those paddles scare me. My solution was to go around and under them making as much turbulence as possible on my way by. Fly is a good weapon as you can keep track of them and at the last moment go under them with a well timed wave of water just as they breath. Please be careful swinging those paddles around.
You know, that's just so courteous, making waves, pulling ankles...and so effective at making friends, teaching etiquette and promoting the sport.
Whenever I'm impossibly matched in a lane (either too slow or too fast), I just get out. It's just not my time to swim.
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - Voltaire
From the original post this person has no business being in their lane (unless all the other lanes are packed with folks). I don't go onto a Tennis court next to a couple good players start hacking balls into their court....same premise.
The thing is - this person may be clueless as to etiquette. Sometimes it's worth explaining it, and sometimes you'll just be met with a blank stare. In any case, the slow person has as much right to swim as the fast people do. Most of the plodders I've met don't know how to swim anything other than straight laps (nor do they want to). It there's a "slow" lane marked, the person should be directed there, but if it's every swimmer for themselves...oh well. We all have a right to the water.
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - Voltaire
I kind of feel as the faster swimmer, I need to watch for the slower swimmer. I am the one that comes up on them.
I guess I don't understand why this person cannot be passed, even in a narrow lane. Are you splitting the lane or circle swimming? It seems in circle swimming, if you continually pass this person on the left, they would get that when someone is coming by to stay over. I don't think there is a need to hurt them or drown them.
My take is that if this isn't an organized swim workout, you really can't say anything, she has just as much right to be there as you. If, however, it is a formal workout and/or you and your training parters are already in the lane then you have every right to tell her what you will be doing and then hope she moves on. But, still, absent a formal sponsored workout by the facility, she has just as much right to be in that lane as you. It would also make me crazy.
This lady has to know that she is lower than the other people in the lane. Yea, she has the right but it doesn't mean she should.
If common sense approach doesn't work...go with Lump's idea.

Paint canvas board using Ranger Distress Crackle Paint. Let dry completely so that it crackles properly.
Lightly dry brush a little white paint around the front edges of the canvas. Let dry.
Using a paper towel, rub in watered-down Burnt Umber paint to fill in some of the cracks. Further antique the canvas as desired.
Cut a house shape out of the music note paper. Create the roof border by cutting two strips of paper to fit and punch with a decorative edge punch. Adhere to the roofline of the house.
Cut out the windows and door from the eggs on one of the papers in the pad. Adhere to house. Stamp sentiment onto canvas using black ink. Ink the edges of the house using the Vintage Photo ink pad by running the pad along the edges. Adhere house to canvas using gel medium.
Cut out bird from paper and adhere as shown. Add strips of tissue tape and stamp the sentiment onto the canvas. Using the clear fragment charms, snap off the top portion of the piece and adhere over the window and door using Glossy Accents™. Attach the metal lock to the house using gel medium. Further enhance using the Small dot stencil (we used Punchanella, available in limited stores), Burnt Umber paint and sponge dauber as desired. Punch 2 holes in top corners using Cropodile. Lay the 5 x 7 canvas vertically under the 8 x 10 canvas to line up and punch holes. Set eyelets.
Canvas 2 (Middle)
Paint the canvas board using Buff paint. Rub the Vintage Photo and Peeled Paint ink along the edges and the top of the canvas to antique it.
Trim paper to 5"x7". Adhere to center of canvas using gel medium.
Add tissue tape as desired.
Cut out the saying from the paper pad and mat onto the cream cardstock, trim to desired size and adhere to the center of the canvas.
Adhere the keyhole as shown using gel medium. Punch holes in four corners using Cropodile. Set eyelets.
Canvas 3 (Bottom)
Repeat Step 1 for canvas board preparation.

Best Uses
- Adding color
These are nice to add color to a seasonal garden. What I didn't like was that the glass was pretty thin, and the tube sections were either too tight or too loose (seemingly because of the black finish on them). Some of the finish was peeled off, and more peeled off when I fit the sections together.
If you order a set of three, you should either use a hacksaw to shorten a tube section (which will allow you to stagger heights) or put them far enough apart so they can't hit each other and break the glass.
All in all, a little too expensive for the quality.

Gentian Violet Vs. Nystatin Oral Suspension for Treatment of Oropharyngeal Candidiasis
Recruitment status was Recruiting
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to see which one of two medicines (topical gentian violet [GV] or nystatin oral suspension) is better than the other in treating Oral Candidiasis (OC). This will be measured by whether the study participant still has OC or sores in his/her mouth after 14 days of treatment. Also, safety and tolerability of GV and nystatin in the treatment of OC will be assessed.
HIV-1 Infection
Drug: Gentian Violet
Drug: Nystatin oral suspension
Phase 3
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|A Phase III, Open-Label, Randomized, Assessment-Blinded Clinical Trial to Compare the Safety and Efficacy of Gentian Violet Oral Solution to That of Nystatin Oral Suspension for the Treatment of Oropharyngeal Candidiasis in HIV-1 Infected Participants in Non-U.S. Settings
- Clinical efficacy [ Time Frame: After 14 days of treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The clinical efficacy of topical GV solution compared to nystatin oral suspension in the treatment of OC, as evidenced by pseudomembranous candidiasis, in HIV-infected adult participants.
- Symptom [ Time Frame: after 14 days of treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Symptoms will be assessed using a visual analog scale where the level of discomfort and pain will be recorded and quantified using a scoring system from 0 to 3
- Quantitative yeast colony counts [ Time Frame: at week 2, 6, or 13 visits ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]If quantitative yeast culture yielding < 20 CFU/mL of Candida spp., then we call this mycological success
- Emergence of fungal resistance [ Time Frame: If there is reappearance of signs or symptoms of OC between weeks 2 and 8 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To determine if GV and nystatin have the potential for the development of resistance
- Emergence of adverse events [ Time Frame: during the 14 day treatment period ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Safety will be evaluated by summarizing the nature and rate of adverse events within each arm
- Cost of treatment [ Time Frame: after 14 days of treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Assessment of the cost and efficacy of the treatment options will aid policy makers in resource-limited settings in choosing the most cost-effective strategies
- Tolerance [ Time Frame: After 14 days of treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The investigators will measure tolerance using a scale from 0 to 3 (0=No side effects experienced, no changes in treatment; 1=Some side effects experienced, but not enough to modify treatment; 2=Some side effects experienced, resulted in treatment interruption; 3=Side effects experienced, resulted in treatment discontinuation.)
- Adherence [ Time Frame: After 14 days of treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Adherence will be reported as a dichotomous variable (adherence vs. non-adherence). Participants who have missing doses less than 15% will be considered as adequate adherence, i.e., if a participant is in the GV arm, then the cutoff point is 28*0.15=4 doses; and for the nystatin arm is 56*0.15=8 doses.
- Self-Assessment [ Time Frame: After 14 days of treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Participants will rate their general health on two scales. One is a five point scale ranging from 1 to 5 (1=Excellent; 2=Very Good; 3=Good; 4=Fair; 5=Poor) and is a rating scale from 0 (defined as "death or worse possible health") to 100 (defined as "perfect or best possible health").
- Acceptability of GV and nystatin [ Time Frame: After 14 days of treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Acceptability will be defined as the willingness to use the drug if it is proven effective to treat oral candidiasis. Participants will be asked whether or not they are willing to use the assigned treatment via questionnaires.
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|June 2011
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|January 2014
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|January 2014 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Arm A: Topical GV solution
Topical GV 0.00165% solution (5 mL swish and gargle for 1 minute and expectorate [spit] 2 times per day [BID]) for 14 days
Drug: Gentian Violet
Participants will be administered topical Gentian violet solution, orally, twice daily for 14 days.
Active Comparator: Arm B: Nystatin oral suspension
Nystatin oral suspension (5 mL of 100,000 units/mL swish for 1 minute and swallow 4 times per day [QID]) for 14 days
Drug: Nystatin oral suspension
Participants will be administered Nystatin oral suspension 4 times a day for 14 days.
Detailed Description:
A5265 is a phase III, open-label (both the researchers and participants know which treatment is being administered) clinical trial to compare the safety and efficacy of topical GV to that of oral nystatin suspension. Male and female HIV-1 positive participants ≥ 18 years of age will be randomized (as if by the toss of a coin) with equal probability and stratified by CD4+ T-cell counts and the use of antiretroviral therapy at the time of study entry to receive either topical GV solution (5 mL swish and gargle for 1 minute and spit two times daily) or nystatin oral suspension (5 mL swish for 1 minute and swallow four times daily) for 14 days. Therapy will be considered as failed if participants have no clinical improvement (assessed by severity of pseudomembranous candidiasis) during either treatment regimen. Evaluation of signs and symptoms of oral candidiasis will be done by an evaluator who is blinded to the treatment assignment. A total of 494 participants will enroll in the study, and participants are expected to be on the study for about 13 weeks.
