Pushing Boundaries–Models William Eustace and Andrea Bellisario are enlisted to showcase the fall/winter 2013 collection of Korean label Kai-aakmann. Designing the collection, Kai-aakmann creative director Soonjin Park reflected on her childhood, growing up in Seoul where she wore her father's pants and often experimented with the shapes she could create. "I grew up free from any dressing conventions which led me to push boundaries and experiment," Park explained. Those same experiments evolve for the latest collection with playful silhouettes and fabric combinations contributing to a stellar lineup.

Routine influenza vaccination is currently recommended in several countries for people aged more than 60 or 65 years or with high risk of complications. A lower age threshold of 50 years has been recommended in the United States since 1999. To help policymakers consider whether such a policy should be adopted more widely, we conducted an economic evaluation of lowering the age limit for routine influenza vaccination to 50 years in Brazil, France, Germany, and Italy. The probabilistic model was designed to compare in a single season the costs and clinical outcomes associated with two alternative vaccination policies for persons aged 50 to 64 years: reimbursement only for people at high risk of complications (current policy), and reimbursement for all individuals in this age group (proposed policy). Two perspectives were considered: third-party payer (TPP) and societal. Model inputs were obtained primarily from the published literature and validated through expert opinion. The historical distribution of annual influenza-like illness (ILI) incidence was used to simulate the uncertain incidence in any given season. We estimated gains in unadjusted and quality-adjusted life expectancy, and the cost per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) gained. Deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were conducted. Comparing the proposed to the current policy, the estimated mean costs per QALY gained were R$4,100, EURO 13,200, EURO 31,400 and EURO 15,700 for Brazil, France, Germany, and Italy, respectively, from a TPP perspective. From the societal perspective, the age-based policy is predicted to yield net cost savings in Germany and Italy, whereas the cost per QALY decreased to R$2800 for Brazil and EURO 8000 for France. The results were particularly sensitive to the ILI incidence rate, vaccine uptake, influenza fatality rate, and the costs of administering vaccination. Assuming a cost-effectiveness threshold ratio of EURO 50,000 per QALY gained, the probabilities of the new policy being cost-effective were 94% and 95% for France, 72% and near 100% for Germany, and 89% and 99% for Italy, from the TPP and societal perspectives, respectively. Extending routine influenza vaccination to people more than 50 years of age is likely to be cost-effective in all four countries studied.

A influenza (gripe) é doença infecciosa aguda de origem viral que acomete o trato respiratório e a cada inverno atinge mais de 100 milhões de pessoas na Europa, Japão e Estados Unidos, causando anualmente a morte de cerca de 20 a 40 mil pessoas somente neste último país. O agente etiológico é o Myxovirus influenzae, ou vírus da gripe. Este subdivide-se nos tipos A, B e C, sendo que apenas os do tipo A e B apresentam relevância clínica em humanos. O vírus influenza apresenta altas taxas de mutação, o que resulta freqüentemente na inserção de novas variantes virais na comunidade, para as quais a população não apresenta imunidade. São poucas as opções disponíveis para o controle da influenza. Dentre essas, a vacinação constitui a forma mais eficaz para o controle da doença e de suas complicações. Em função das mutações que ocorrem naturalmente no vírus influenza, recomenda-se que a vacinação seja realizada anualmente. No Brasil, segundo dados obtidos pelo Projeto VigiGripe - ligado à Universidade Federal de São Paulo -, verifica-se que a influenza apresenta pico de atividade entre os meses de maio e setembro. Assim, a época mais indicada para a vacinação corresponde aos meses de março e abril. Para o tratamento específico da influenza estão disponíveis quatro medicamentos antivirais: os fármacos clássicos amantadina e rimantidina e os antivirais de segunda geração oseltamivir e zanamivir. Os últimos, acrescentam alternativas para o tratamento da influenza e ampliam as opções disponíveis para o seu controle.

Approximately 10% of the general population worldwide acquires influenza infection every year. Airline crews run a particularly high risk of contracting influenza and influenza-like viruses because they come in contact with hundreds of potentially infected individuals every day. Respiratory diseases are the most frequent cause of absenteeism among flight crews in airline companies. Several studies have shown the efficacy of influenza vaccination in the workplace of healthy, working adults leading to increased productivity and lower absenteeism. We conducted a double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study on flight crews of an airline company in order to determine the safety and efficacy of a trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine in reducing illness and absences from work. The 813 healthy members of a Brazilian airline company were randomly assigned to receive injections of either an influenza vaccine or a placebo, with a follow-up period of 7 mo after vaccination. Primary outcomes included influenza-like illness episodes and absenteeism from work due to such episodes. Demographic characteristics were similar in the two groups. No significant side-effects occurred in either group. Compared to the placebo group, individuals receiving the vaccine showed 39.5% fewer episodes of flu-like illness (p < 0.001) and 26% fewer days of work lost (p = 0.03). The vaccinated group developed 33% fewer episodes of any severe flu-like illness (p < 0.01). The data indicates that influenza vaccination is safe in airline flight crews and may produce health-related benefits including reduced absenteeism.

Influenza (flu) is an acute contagious viral infection characterized by inflammation of the respiratory tract that every winter affects more than 100 million people in Europe, Japan and the United States of America, also being responsible for several thousand of excess deaths (data from the United States reveal between 20,000 to 40,000 excess deaths annually). The Mixovirus influenzae is the agent that causes influenza, commonly called flu. There are 3 types of influenza virus: A, B, C, and only types A and B are perceived to be clinically relevant in humans. Due to the segmented nature of its genetic material, the influenza virus is highly mutagenic, causing frequent insertion of new antigenic strains into the community, against which the population presents no immunity. Presently, there are few options for the control of influenza and annual immunization is the most effective means to prevent disease and its complications. In Brazil, according to data collected by the VigiGripe's Project - linked to the Federal University of Sao Paulo -, circulation of the influenza virus also has a seasonal pattern, with peak activity occurring between May and September. Yearly vaccination is, therefore, best indicated on March and April. Currently, there are four medications available for the treatment of influenza viruses: amantadine and rimantadine, and two second generation pharmaceutical products, the neuraminidase inhibitors, oseltamivir and zanamivir. The latter two drugs have set the stage for a new approach to the management and control of influenza infections.

Rangers: Darvish speaks to Japanese media
Yu Darvish held a press conference for the Japanese media. He has not done any interviews because visa problems have delayed his interpreter's arrival to Spring Training. Here is what Darvish had to say after throwing live batting practice
Question: You said after your last bullpen session that you were looking forward to throwing to batters and see their reactions today, so how was it?
My command was very good and there was power on/to the ball, but the batters were pretty much just standing in the batter's box so it was hard to judge.
Question: Chirinos caught you today and now 3 catchers have caught you, do you have any preference?
It doesn't matter who catches me, I am concentrating on my form (delivery) and what I want to work on, so either if it's in the pen (or on the field) it doesn't matter so there is not much of a difference.
Question: So does that apply during the season too?
Question: Did you have any theme going into today's session?
Since there are batters standing in the batter's box, All I wanted to do what I had been doing in my 2 previous bullpens,
Question:You may have ramped up your strength a tad, but where you able to accomplish what you wanted to do?
Yes , I was able to do it.
Question: You said every year you need to work on your change up, how was it today facing batters?
I think I only threw one change up today, I think the others were sliders.but since my last bullpen it's been really good and was able to get the feel for it, and today I think I was able to throw it well.
Question: But you don't know how long that will last right?
Yes, I don't know.
Question: Banister told us that he would like you to make all you starts, what are your thought on that?
Of course, that's what everyone wants to do, I really have no comment on that
Question: Ever since you joined the Rangers, you had been throwing live BP on the first day, what are your thoughts on the change of program?
I don't mind if we have live BP or not, but now I am able to throw in the bullpen beforehand and not overthrow, so I don't strain myself in some awkward places (in my body)
Texas Rangers morning clubhouse: Matt Harrison, Leonys Martin
Matt Harrison is supposed to stretch out to 120 feet today in his throwing program. He is still not planning to throw off a mound for at least another month.
Leonys Martin has arrived in camp. Said he worked hard on his baserunning this off-season. Wants to the Rangers leadoff hitter.
The Rangers hired Dwayne Murphy as a Minor League outfield instructor. Murphy was a Gold Glove outfielder for the Oakland Athletics and one of the best ever. Martin will get a lot of time with him.
Everybody is in camp. Carlos Peguero is here. The left-handed hitting outfielder will join Joey Gallo as the Rangers starting offensive tackles for Russell Wilson.
Michael Kirkman is playing catch today.
IF Elliot Johnson and LHP Edgar Olmos – both acquired in the past couple of days – are also in camp.
Pitchers are throwing live batting practice today. Robinson Chirinos will catch Yu Darvish for the first time this spring.
Michael Young is in camp.
Beltre, Fielder waiting for Martin
Leonys Martin is not in camp yet. He is one of two players who still have not yet reported.
He doesn't have to be here until Friday but that doesn't matter to third baseman Adrian Beltre, who has been here for two days. Plus Prince Fielder was in camp on Monday.
"He can't be here after Prince Fielder," Beltre said. "He's in the box. Kangaroo Court. That will be a fine."
"We're going to get all his travel money," Fielder said.
Manager Jeff Banister visited Martin in the Dominican Republic. The Rangers centerfielder has been working out down there and Miami.
"I watched that guy and he was getting after it pretty hard," Banister said. "Everybody knows he is working hard."
That's not going to matter to Beltre. The "fine" for showing up after Fielder is only the start.
"He is going to hear about it the whole spring."
Camp Banister: New manager wants short, efficient productive workouts
Two days of pitchers and catchers and one thing is clear. The Rangers are getting off the field in less than two hours. New manager Jeff Banister believes in short workouts, get it done right and get off the field with not much standing around.
"Through the years found what works best," Banister said. "Listening to players, watching what's successful, what's not. The three hours of play, 13 minutes of action. There can be a lot of standing around in baseball. We talked about that prior to coming to spring training. Talked about it again this morning.
"Getting the player out on the field and getting them in baseball shape during baseball activity. Eliminating the mundane, eliminating the standing around because we want our men to function at a high level in not only low-stress situations but high-stress situations. The toughest thing in baseball is to recreate that. Keeping them engaged all the time. So we try to structure a workout every day that that happens is paramount to me."
The idea is that reducing the time that players stand around on the field reduces the risk of injury.
That may be the case but last year the Rangers had a highly-efficent, well-run camp with their workouts also getting done in two hours or less.
One distinct difference this year is that pitchers are throwing in the bullpen the first time out rather than live batting practice. That was something Banister decided after talking with pitching coach Mike Maddux.
"Obviously, I like live batting practice, but there is a process getting to live batting practice," Banister said. "There's a process to getting to intersquads. To real games, to nine innings. I'm a process-driven guy. I think as soon as you sell out to the production early right or wrong it's my opinion, you miss the process. Detail is process-oriented.
"John Wooden, the first thing he had freshman do: put on their socks. because if you don't put socks on the right way you get blisters. If you get blisters you can't play. That may be old school but when you think about it really and truly it works out here with these guys too."
Rangers want Beltre in 2016; May eliminate clause
If Adrian Beltre does not get 600 plate appearances this season, the Rangers have the right to void his 2016 contract. General manager Jon Daniels said he does not want that to be a distraction and suggested the Rangers may eliminate that right and bring Beltre back regardless.
"It's a possibility." Daniels said.
Jurickson Profar to have surgery
Rangers sign Jamey Wright
The Rangers have signed pitcher Jamey Wright to a Minor League contract and invited him to camp. He will be a candidate for the bullpen. The Rangers now have 62 players coming to camp.

Jon Lovitz ("Hot in Cleveland") Makes Guest-Voice Appearance
All-New Halloween-Themed Episode!
Destined to be yet another classic Halloween-themed episode of THE SIMPSONS, in the opener of the 23rd annual "Treehouse of Horror," we go back to ancient times when a Mayan Homer and Marge are witnesses to the prediction by ancient calendar makers that 2012 will be the end of the world. In "The Greatest Story Ever Holed," the first of three spine-chilling stories, the Springfield Subatomic Supercollider creates a black hole that terrorizes the city, sucking up everything in its path. Then, in "UNnormal Activity" the Simpsons install cameras all over the house when things start to go bump in the night and Marge discovers it may have to do with an unholy pact she made some years prior. In the final thrilling tale, "Bart & Homer's Excellent Adventure," Bart travels to 1974 to buy a comic book at cover price but inadvertently disrupts Homer and Marge's courtship, leading Marge to end up with Artie Ziff (guest voice Jon Lovitz) in the all-new "Treehouse of Horror XXIII" episode of THE SIMPSONS airing Sunday, Oct. 7 (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (SI-2317) (TV-PG D, L, S, V)
Voice Cast: Dan Castellaneta as Homer Simpson; Julie Kavner as Marge Simpson; Nancy Cartwright as Bart Simpson and Nelson; Yeardley Smith as Lisa Simpson; Harry Shearer as Skinner; Pamela Hayden as Milhouse and Jimbo; Tress MacNeille as Dolph

Kicking off with Naomi Campbell's Fashion for Relief show at Somerset House. A star-studded line up, with faces from stage to screen, graced the runway to raise funds to fight Ebola. I loved the party atmosphere, as did the models, who broke into dance mid strut down the catwalk.
In the last decade, she has reinvented herself from a spoilt, tantrum-reputed diva, to a mature, socially-engaged woman of the world, trying to do brilliant things, to encourage people powered change.
As the living proof that age has no bearing when it comes to beauty and sex appeal, Naomi Campbell has been enjoying something of a career renaissance as of late.
There really is no reason for being tardy. So to all those people out there who are forever late, you better have a half decent excuse. Or have just dropped dead. As excuses go, I reckon that's as good as any.
Butlins in Bognor Regis I have to say kept us on our toes and our little man was skipping his naps to get in as much as possible of the entertainment. With family budgets not being what they were, less people are going abroad and are now enjoying a holiday in the UK.

The privacy of the Duchess of Cambridge is worth its weight in lead. Not gold, but lead. Her mother-in-law, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, has never ...
Over the years, my personality has most likely caused me to miss out on some jobs and opportunities, but I also know that my strong personality has helped me experience lots of firsts as a black model.
Modeling requires strength on a number of different levels -- strength to hold your head high and endure rejection; strength to continue to follow your passion in order to build a successful career; strength to ignore critics and naysayers; and strength to keep your body, mind and spirit in tip-top shape.
Dancing requires physical awareness, precision, rhythm, soul, memory and coordination. And whether people realize it or not, modeling and dancing are two closely related disciplines. Both require you to use your body, know your body and express with your body.
Being aware of your energy levels makes a big difference, because when you're working long hours, it is vital to keep your energy up in order to deliver the best performance.
I get asked all the time what makes a model super, and while there's something to be said for hard work and having a special look -- a key element that separates a good model from an outstanding model is confidence.
When going nude in any setting I think most of us initially worry about being judged and feeling vulnerable in that there is no place to hide our insecurities - they are totally exposed for everyone to see.
At a Q and A for 12 Years A Slave in London this week, Director Steve McQueen told the story of one of his first meetings in Hollywood, how an Irish person had been expected... and about the shock when he showed up. I would like to take this small opportunity to celebrate some people who have brought some exquisite flavour to the UK, Vanity Fair Style.
If Obama, Cameron and Thorning -Schmidt were inspired to whip out their camera phones and start clicking away then why wasn't Naomi Campbell somewhere in that stadium, in full hair and make up, being held aloft in front of a wind machine by Bono and Charlize Theron?
Naomi Campbell... Yes, she can get upset if a job isn't carried out to her satisfaction, as is common among other professionals who are passionate about their work. But why does being a strong woman automatically earn you the label of being a b*tch?

National Guard Unit Coming Home
Valentine's Day will be special for members of an Alabama National Guard unit that's coming home from Afghanistan. About 190 members of the 226th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade are returning home to Mobile on Friday morning. The troops will be welcomed by family members and friends at an armory in the port city. The group deployed in April 2013, traveling first to Fort Hood in Texas for training. Then they moved overseas to Afghanistan. The soldiers assisted with management operations for five base camps in Kabul. They also helped with training for police and soldiers and worked on infrastructure projects.

AMERICA/MEXICO - School lessons for 7 hours a day next to a landfill and among stray dogs
Pachuca (Agenzia Fides) - The pupils of the Ignacio Zaragoza elementary school, which is situated in the El Huixmi community, in Pachuca, a city in south-central Mexico, capital of the state of Hidalgo, are forced to live with dangerous animals and stray dogs. Eight teachers, 245 students and support staff at the school are continually exposed to the pollution generated by the landfill which is situated 500 meters away. For this reason, in a statement received by Fides Agency, the headmaster of the school states that every two months there is a 10% absenteeism, every day students accuse severe headaches and nausea. Moreover, given that the institute is not fenced, the children are forced to live with dozens of stray dogs that roam around. A short distance away there is the landfill of Pachuca, where every day 500 tons of waste residues is discharged. Pupils attend this environment for seven hours a day. The school was built 70 years ago and is in need of security measures for classrooms, equipment, technological tools such as projectors and computers and a new library. About two years ago an old unusable bus was brought to the building which was adapted as a library, named Librolandia. Here the children read, do their homework and study. The reduced space contains about 400 books that are used daily by the children to encourage them to read, there are also two tables and 10 chairs, 6 shelves and a small desk. Despite these tremendous bounds, teachers and students are committed to a decent education even if the level of preparation remains low. (AP) (Agenzia Fides 17/09/2013)

I've debated about getting a print account myself, but considering the mere handful of stuff I've sold at Ellen Million Graphics, I don't think it would really work for me. I'm not good/known enough for it. The nice thing about it, though, is that people who can't pay via personal check or money order can buy prints here.
I think you'd sell lots of stuff...though there's still the profit margin to think about.

In my oppinion...it all depends on the artist and their popularity. I mean the people who are more popular or "well known" in the DA community are obviously going to get more advertisement and such, so they have a better chance of getting good use out of a prints account. But if you don't get that kind of advertisement (even regardless of your talent) it may be a waste of money.

Like others have said, if you're popular then a prints acount is nice, but if you're not well known, then it's crap. I have a prints account but I never
use it because I know no one would buy my stuff. You're well known and lots of people like your work a whole lot. You'd probably do well with a
prints account. Not to mention that they only take 50% of your profit. Other places I've heard of take 70 - 80%. It's conveniant to have someone else do your printing and selling for you too.

I think I'm not informed enough about print accounts to really make a decision. I'm not popular enough/good enough to even begin to consider it, but I think that since you're popular enough, you could make a pretty good profit off of it. It all depends on how much DA takes, I suppose, and whether you think it's worth it.

A print account is useless to someone like me, but I like buying prints from other artists through the site. The prints I've gotten have all been decent quality, and it was very convenient to be able to buy from a variety of different artists all in the same transaction, and ship them together. I also like that you can choose different sizes, since sometimes I want a print of something, but not a really big one.

Hmm...Now, I would imagine not many people would purchase prints off the account, rather than straight from the artist (kind of the same thing I guess =\) But that could very well be wrong!

You probably could make money off of it. As people do enjoy your work. I'm not sure how much DA takes -
as their cut, but if it is a significant amount you might think of finding some other independant way of producing prints

I dont know about better ways, but DA prints takes a heavy hunk of the profit, and its difficult to (IN my opinion nyway) to get images to print quality and dimensions with out them looking screwed up, unless you plan to make prints and work with the size ratios they support...

"Other," I think.
Artists who have a great deal of traffic through their gallery would benefit the most, so I think that in your case, it might be a good bet. It might at leasat be worth the risk to make a few of your favorite images available to see if you get any nibbles, and from there decide if it's cost effective. You probably also should buy a couple of the prints yourself so that you can see the quality of their output.
Personally, I don't like the "DA keeps 50% of the money" business, and I don't like not having a big say in quality control, so I prefer to do all my own printing at home. But that profit margin DA keeps also means that they do all the grunt work for you; all you have to do is make the art.

It does actually make money, and someone as popular as you would certainly make your initial investment back in profits - if I could do it, you could do it tenfold. I wouldn't say it's totally awesome and worth it, but it's nice to have around.

In addition to wondering whether it is worth it to you, the artist, it is useful to look at it from your audience's point of view. Buying from DA is incredibly convenient. If I see something that catches my breath, then I can immediately purchase a print with a few clicks. I don't have to surf to some external webpage, find the print again, sign up for an account, sign into paypal, etc., then wonder what the quality of the product and service is going to be.
Offering prints through DA turns into a convenience factor for your customers
you. You don't have to worry about managing your inventory, paypal accounts, where to send prints to, quality issues, problems with shipping, lost orders, etc. You just have to submit the file and DA takes care of the rest. You don't make all that much money, but then again you don't do all that much work. You just submit the file and the process is maintenance-free for as long as you keep your work availible for purchase.
If you are looking to have control over your margin (or are just concerned about the quality of prints from DA), send your files into a professional lab, have them printed, then sell them yourself via people sending you notes/email or via a professional-looking personal website. If you don't have the time or the willpower to do this at the moment, then DA's service would be a nice solution for the time being, I think. That's the way I look at it.

If you had it, and your work would sell alright, then it's good for you and good for DA... what naysayers don't realize is the extent of DA's operating costs (mega bandwidth) and the quality issue. If you wanted you could go to Kinky's copies and get prints made at a reasonable cost, but the quality issue and the postage would make it a bad bargain in a hurry, not to mention that a good copy shop will do a fine job but you still have to handle the postage and store all the unsold works someplace.
But until they come up with a nifty way to print and sell book type material, it's useless to a writer, so I don't have such an account. LuLu.com has something similar for writers though, and the price process works the same way as DA's print accounts, so I think everyone has a good deal.

I don't like the DA prints account thing. You don't get hardly any of the profit. With one, you get 50% of gross profit. Which is 50% above the base cost. So lets say the base cost is $15. And you set your price at $45. So you make 50% profit over the base cost, and, thus, you only get $15 out of all the money spent to buy your art. Why dA needs this money, I dunno.
I thought about this long and hard, m'self. And I figured it be easier and more profitable to not use the DA prints account, but rather go print things on my own time and mail it to the person. (though I'm not as popular/good as you, so I would probably have more time to go to the post office) I know that to print something at Kinko's on 11x18 glossy paper in COLOR is roughly $2.50 SO If you do this and you sell it for the SAME price as you would sell it on DA. (lets pretend the $45 again) then you would get a little more than $40 profit, rather than the DA Print's account of $15.
See where I'm going? Plus, some artists can tell you, sometimes prints just don't sell. Unless you need people to buy them to cover costs for something, or if you put it in your journal like those are the only ten or something you'll sign or whatever, people will buy them more readily. But other than that, I heard that prints don't sell like... often. Y'know? I'm not trying to be biased here, both options have thir pro's and con's but I still like the profit one more. :/ Plus, I'm two years too young to get a Prints account anyway so I'll be making trips to kinko's. <<
I hope I helped a little.

I've been looking into buying a prints account as well, but I don't know whether or not it's worth it. I believe I'm in the same boat as Allison when it comes to this decision - is it really worth it?
According to what you say, and also from what little research I've done: it seems as if it's really not worth it. But I have another question: Can a print account elevate your status here on DA? Will getting a print account increase the chances that your print actually sells? Obviously people don't want prints that aren't checked for quality - but with a prints account they can verify quality, correct? So with quality on your side - wouldn't it be likely that your stuff would sell?
I know DA has a lot of costs to cover, so they pocket most of the profit. I'm not excited about that at all b/c despite their costs needs, it's still our artwork that they are banking off of, while the artist is left with very little profit. So...my question still is - is it worth it? Will the account increase your selling point?
