Why does my baby need the polio vaccine?The polio vaccine protects your child against polio or poliomyelitis, which is a highly infectious viral disease spread through the faeces of infected people. The polio virus enters through the mouth and ends up in the nervous system. It can rapidly lead to paralysis and even death. India is one of the four remaining countries that still have polio.
Polio mainly affects children under the age of 5. Older people with lower immunity levels are also vulnerable. It is a common belief that polio afflicts only the lower socio-economic group. That is not true: as long as there is one infected person, all children are at risk.
There is no cure for polio. So the polio vaccine will protect your baby. Timely immunisation is the most effective way of preventing the disease. Older siblings who are under 5 years of age must also be vaccinated in case they have missed the dosage.
Are there different forms of the polio vaccine?Polio vaccines are of two types - the oral polio vaccine (OPV) and the inactivated polio vaccine (IPV).
The OPV is a live, but weakened, virus which makes the body produce antibodies against it without developing into the disease. Given as oral drops, it protects not only the person who has taken them but also others living around him. Once the live vaccine virus is introduced into the body, it spreads to others through the water supply, the sewage system or food and drinking water. This way an entire household, and sometimes whole communities, can get protected as the vaccine virus helps them develop antibodies against the disease.
The IPV, on the other hand, while highly effective, only protects the vaccinated person, and not others. It is given by injection.
I've heard that IPV is better as it does not cause vaccine induced paralysis. Is this true?About one in 2.4 million people who receive OPV - which is a live, but diluted, virus - may contract polio. This is not the case with IPV as it is inactivated. Doctors often advise parents to first give their child the IPV so that your baby develops antibodies against the disease, and then OPV which will provide immunity to a larger community. This way not only is your child protected, but you can do your bit to make India polio-free.
Why should I be a part of the Pulse Polio programme?The Pulse Polio programme is a government-led programme which aims to eradicate polio from the country by vaccinating all children under the age of five, against polio. Every child is given OPV drops on special "Pulse Polio National Immunisation Days".
It is important to ensure that all children up to 5 years of age are given the OPV drops in addition to the routine polio vaccines given by your doctor as per the immunisation schedule. This is the only way to ensure your child and your community are protected from polio.
Some parents worry about the side effects of the polio vaccine. The vaccine has proven to be safe and is the most effective tool we currently have in preventing polio. A combination of OPV and IPV will put your fears to rest. If you are still worried, discuss your concerns with your doctor.
Why must my baby be given several doses of OPV?The OPV is given in several doses to ensure that the disease is controlled and eventually eradicated. Such repeated immunisations have made several countries around the world polio-free.
If you are worried that multiple doses may result in side effects or an overdose, don't be. They are perfectly safe. It is advisable to take part in the Pulse Polio programme, even if your doctor has given your baby all the required doses.
If your scheduled immunisation date falls very close to the Pulse Polio programme date, check with your doctor if your baby needs to be given the polio drops again.
How can I reduce the risk of my children getting infected with polio?The polio virus is spread through the faeces of infected people. So polio is common in places with poor sanitation. Good hygiene is the key to reducing the risk of infection. You can protect your children by maintaining proper hygiene and giving them safe drinking water and hygienically prepared food.
Everyone in the family should wash their hands after using the bathroom and before eating or preparing food. If you have a maid, make her wash her hands when she arrives and then regularly through the day.
What are the symptoms of polio?Symptoms of polio can range from mild to severe. They include headache, fever, sore throat, nausea, severe muscle pain and stiffness in the neck and back. As most of these symptoms are common to a viral flu, consult your doctor if your baby has any of them. In most cases, there are no symptoms. In just one per cent of the cases, the virus enters the nervous system and can cause paralysis.
Can I give IPV to my baby when she has fever or diarrhoea?If your child is ill at the time the IPV shot is scheduled, it is usually postponed until she recovers. The OPV, on the other hand, can be given even with fever or diarrhoea. If your baby is unwell, ask your doctor to be sure about what is best for your child.
Check out our immunisation scheduler to find out when to give your baby the polio vaccine.

Tax Reform
Americans are a hard-working bunch and should keep what they earn. Our ideas for tax reform reduce the burden of taxes while ensuring governments have the resources to focus on core responsibilities.
Read the Beacon Hill Institute's Rebuttal to the Eller Study on the Effects of the Sales Tax Increase here.
PHOENIX – The "Yes on 100" campaign has issued a statement attacking a recent video produced by the Goldwater Institute as part of ongoing efforts to educate the public about the need for state policymakers to fix their spending priorities.
The Goldwater Institute's Le Templar appeared on KPNX's Sunday Square Off to debate a variety of issues, including taxes and Mesa's deal with the Cubs.
The Goldwater Institute's Byron Schlomach appeared live on Channel 3 to explain why it would be a bad idea for voters to increase the Arizona sales tax, and why Phoenix should not implement a food tax.
PHOENIX—In a special session that began today, the Arizona Legislature is considering a proposal for a one-cent sales tax increase that would be sent to voters in May.
The City of Phoenix is considering adding a tax on groceries. The Goldwater Institute's Starlee Rhoades told FOX 10 why it is not a good idea.
Phoenix--Today the Goldwater Institute released its 2010 "100 Ideas for 100 Days," an annual handbook designed to provide Arizona's elected officials with a stable of ideas to help meet their constitutional obligation to protect individual rights and promote limited government.
Protecting individual rights and promoting limited government aren't just buzzwords. Those are the constitutional obligations of our elected officials. The Arizona Constitution explains this clearly in Article II, Section 2.
The State of Arizona is lobbying itself. Whether it is for all-day kindergarten, expansive redevelopment powers, or a host of other issues, government entities are exploring and acting on their lobbying options. The consequence: Government interests become pitted against taxpayers' interests. From 2000 to 2005, three counties—Maricopa, Pima, and Mohave—spent more than $3 million to lobby. During the same period, the Department of Transportation, State Parks, and the Governor's Office spent more than $1.8 million to lobby. Likewise, the cities of Tucson, Mesa, and Phoenix exhausted more than $2 million of taxpayer funds for lobbying purposes.

Executive Summary
The annual Goldwater Institute Legislative Report Card considers how well Arizona legislators are fulfilling their constitutional obligation to uphold liberty. The report scores legislators on 305 votes across four categories: education, constitutional government, regulation, and tax and budget. The primary criterion is whether a vote for or against each bill expands or restricts liberty.

Research Review: A calorie isn't a calorie
When is a calorie not a calorie? When it comes from from whole (versus processed) food.
Most of us know Dr Mark Haub, the nutrition professor who lost 27 pounds on the junk food diet.
Great. As if the North American diet wasn't bad enough, we've now got a nutrition professor promoting eating candy bars and Twinkies to lose weight.
He has two key points for his argument and experiment:
- A calorie is a calorie is a calorie. For example, 100 calories from a candy bar and 100 calories from kale are the same.
- If you eat fewer calories than you use, you will lose weight.
I can't argue point #2 since it's a basic law of thermodynamics, but point #1 is flawed in a few ways.
When a calorie isn't a calorie: Thermal effect of food
Calories are a measure of energy. Weight change depends on the balance between two things: energy in versus energy out.
Energy out includes obvious things like:
- physical activity (activity metabolism)
- energy to keep you alive at rest (basal metabolic rate)
- energy added to the body like amino acids to muscle, and fat to fat tissues
And less obvious things like:
- energy lost in waste (feces and urine)
- energy used to digest the food you eat
Energy in seems simple: How many calories were in the spinach salad, bagel or ice cream sandwich you ate?
Turns out, energy in is just as complex as energy out, because of the energy cost of digesting food.
Digesting food costs energy
Ever wonder how celery has negative calories? It takes more energy to break down and absorb the celery than the celery contains.
Eating costs calories: calories to chew, swallow, churn the stomach, make the acid in the stomach, make the enzymes, to make the rhythmic muscular contractions known as peristalsis that drive the food through, and so forth.
Scientists have three names for this phenomenon:
- dietary-induced thermogenesis (DIT);
- thermal effect of food (TEF); or
- specific dynamic action (SDA).
On average, a person uses about 10% of their daily energy expenditure digesting and absorbing food, but this percentage changes depending on the type of food you eat.
Protein takes the most energy to digest (20-30% of total calories in protein eaten go to digesting it). Next is carbohydrates (5-10%) and then fats (0-3%).
Thus, if you eat 100 calories from protein, your body uses 20-30 of those calories to digest and absorb the protein. You'd be left with a net 70-80 calories. Pure carbohydrate would leave you with a net 90-95 calories, and fat would give you a net 97-100 calories.
Hmm. Maybe "a calorie is a calorie" doesn't hold up after all.
Research question
In the study I'm reviewing this week it seems that not only does macronutrient content change TEF, but processing changes TEF.
Barr SB and Wright JC.Postprandial energy expenditure in whole-food and processed-food meals: implications for daily energy expenditure. Food Nutr Res. 2010 Jul 2;54. doi: 10.3402/fnr.v54i0.5144.
The study compared what happened when 17 volunteers ate a whole food meal versus a processed food meal. Volunteers were all of normal weight, and about 25 years old. Half were women.
The meals
The researchers use the term meals rather loosely, since these meals were cheese sandwiches. In this study, the metabolic impact of whole food sandwiches made of multi-grain bread and real cheddar cheese were compared to processed food sandwiches that were made with white bread and processed cheese product.
Though the researches call the sandwiches whole food and processed food, both are processed, but just to a different degree.

Table 3 lists the ingredients for cheese and bread in the whole and processed sandwiches.
I don't really think I'd call either of these "whole" foods. While the whole food sandwich has fewer unnecessary ingredients like the annatto (vegetable color) in the cheese, and guar gum in the bread, it also contains brown sugar, vegetable oils, and soy lecithin.
The "whole" food example could certainly be better, but on the other hand, it's kind of hard to fool people about what they're eating to keep them unbiased when the choice is an apple (whole) versus apple juice (processed). So perhaps this was the best-possible option.
Table 3: Cheese and bread ingredients
|Pasteurized milk, cheese culture, salt, enzymes, annatto (vegetable color), Natamycin (A natural mold inhibitor).
|Milk, whey, milkfat, milk protein concentrate, salt, calcium phosphate, sodium citrate, whey protein concentrate, sodium phosphate, sorbic acid as a preservative, apocarotenal (color), annatto (color), enzymes, vitamin D3, cheese culture.
|Stone-ground whole wheat flour, water, brown sugar, wheat gluten, yeast, contains 2% or less of each of the following: vegetable oil (soybean and or/cottonseed oils), whole wheat, sunflower seeds, rye, cultured wheat flour, salt, raisin juice concentrate, oats, barley, corn, millet, triticale, distilled vinegar, guar gum, enzymes, enzyme-modified soy lecithin, wheat bran, soy flour.
|Unbleached enriched flour [wheat flour, malted barley flour, reduced iron, niacin, thiamin mononitrate (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), folic acid], water, high fructose corn syrup, yeast, soybean oil, salt, wheat gluten, calcium propionate (preservative), monoglycerides, datem, ascorbic acid (dough conditioner), soy lecithin.
Eating and energy
After not eating for 12 hours (overnight), researchers measured the volunteers' basal metabolic rate using oxygen consumption.
Then the volunteers were randomly given either a processed food sandwich or whole food sandwich (portion size was up to the volunteer). Then volunteers' metabolic rate was measured every hour for six hours after the sandwich (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 hours post-sandwich).
2-6 days later, volunteers came back into the lab and did exactly the same thing, but with the other sandwich.
People tend to think healthier food tastes worse than less health food, but in this study the volunteers rated the whole food sandwiches as more palatable (6.5/10) compared to the processed food sandwiches (4.9/10), with no differences in how energetic they felt after eating the two sandwiches. And they felt no differences in fullness aka satiety (see Figure 1).
However, eating whole food took 46.8% more energy to digest on average than processed food!
The total energy (TEF) needed to digest and absorb a whole food sandwich was 576 kJ. The TEF for the processed food sandwich was 310 kJ.
Figure 2 gives you a hour-by-hour average increase in metabolic rate from basal metabolic rate over 6 hours after eating the sandwiches.
|Figure 1: How satisfying are processed foods (open triangles) vs. whole foods (white squares)?
|Figure 2: Changes in BMR over time in processed foods (open triangles) vs. whole foods (white squares)
What explains the differences?
Protein and fiber play a part.
In Table 1 above, we can see that the whole food sandwich had more had more protein (40 g) and fiber(12 g) than the processed food sandwich (30g protein and <6 g fiber). This explains the differences in TEF between sandwiches, but not entirely.
As Dr. Mark Haub showed, you can lose weight eating processed junk food. But he could have eaten a lot more whole food (that had important nutrients) and lost the same amount of weight.
If you didn't have enough reasons to avoid processed food when losing weight, add reduced thermal effect of food to the list.
Processed food takes less energy to digest and absorb compared to whole foods, so 100 calories of processed food ends up being more net calories than 100 calories of whole food.
If you're trying to lose weight, eat whole foods. If you're trying to gain weight (such as you Scrawny to Brawny guys), you may find that you need to include a little more processed food for a while.
Bottom line
What is truly "whole" food?
When judging what's "whole" and "processed" foods, ask yourself:
- What's on the ingredient list?
- Do I recognize all these things?
- How many steps did this food take to get to me?
- Does this food come in a bag, box, or can?
For a real eye-opener, next time you're at the grocery store, take a look at the ingredients of a few different brands of yogurt and compare the ingredients. Good quality plain yogurt will have two ingredients: milk and bacteria. Other so-called yogurts will have things like sodium citrate, corn starch, gelatin, pectin, calcium phosphate, potassium phosphate and sodium phosphate.
By the way, you might also be surprised to see what is in cream. Yep, plain old cream is often actually milk with cheap emulsifiers and sweeteners such as dextrose.
Read labels and buyer beware!
And if your food normally comes in a tube… well, you might consider learning a few new cooking skills.

This tour was amazing!
I had a fabulous tour guide...name escapes me but went with my daughter on Monday, August 11th. He was fun, patient, and kind! We were picked up at the Riu Guanacaste and taken to another hotel before we met him. I never went ziplining before and neither had my daughter and he took away all fears.
It was a beautiful day and we also enjoyed the horseback riding, mud bath and hot springs. The lunch was delicious! I highly recommend this tour!
Zip lining was my first experience and I will look forward to more opportunities in the future. The horseback riding took us through a variety of terrain including woods, hills with countryside views. The horses were well trained and gentle. Mixed review on hot springs experience yet I encourage it once! Our tour guide for the day, Rain, was fun and knowledgeable.
Everything explained on the site was thoroughly accurate and the homemade Costa Rican lunch was amazing. A def must do!!!
This tour was amazing!
Organized well with a small group of 10 in a small bus for a shorter ride compare to the large groups of 50 for a longer distance ride of 3 hours made this tour more enjoyable and seemingly private. That made the Zipline wait much shorter
The zip lining was great but the horseback riding was disappointing. It was much too short and felt more like filler. Mauricio, the tour guide was excellent.
It certainly did not meet the expectations we had, based upon your website or theirs. One driver picked us up from our hotel and dropped us off at another area where another driver and "guide" took us to the Park. This "guide" was not the most forthcoming with information about flora and fauna but did answer questions when asked. We did not read anywhere about the long, winding, rocky, bumpy road that took us to the "adventure." I believe the guide told us we were driving through a dump, and we did see people working in that dump when we returned. All in all, that drive was about 1 hour from the main road and was very uncomfortable for someone who experiences motion sickness (as I do). Since I am afraid of heights, I did not experience the zipline; but most people seemed to enjoy it, although many did mention some difficulty in getting to the platforms. The real guides were the workers at the park; two young men led the zipline and horseback experiences, and they were wonderful. One lady did the cooking; and, since I sat in the food area awaiting the others from the zipline, she offered and made coffee for me--which I thought was very nice. The driver and "guide" who brought us to the park seemed to ignore me completely until it was time to join the horseback ride. As dry as the area seemed to be when we drove to the park, it surprised me to see so much wet and sloppy trails for the horses to ride through; and that was a bit scary sine the horses seemed to be slipping a bit. The guides stopped several places to take pictures, and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves....although, it was a bit scary for me as a novice. Although the food was delicious, it certainly did not look like the pictures shown on the website; fried plaintains were the only fruit included in the meal. There was no mango as mentioned, and this was disappointing. The "mud bath" was a bowl of cold mud with paint brushes to apply to our bodies; since it was cold, I just used my hands.

UK Government Calls Go Digital Test a Success
London - Jun 13, 2013 - The UK government is touting its recent digital radio test as a success, saying listeners who are in a good coverage area love digital radio, according to Radio Today.
The digital radio switchover pilot program (called Go Digital) was overseen by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport and was run by independent research company Ipsos/MORI. It involved the full conversion of 237 households in Bath to digital radio and documented their experience over a six-week period in February and March 2013.
The results show that 92 percent of listeners in the Go Digital Trial report said they were highly satisfied with their digital radios. Eighty percent said they preferred it to analog and would strongly recommend digital radio to other people. Test subjects in Bath listened to more radio overall, enjoyed finding the additional stations on digital radio, and found the DAB digital radios easy to use. Of the older and disabled people in the experiment, 75 percent found the DAB radios easier to use than expected, but some required help from friends and family to set them up. Seventy percent of this group said that digital radio was better than analog. A small sample also had their cars converted with nearly all confident about using their digital radios. A few cited reception issues when driving.
Test subjects also said they needed to know about costs and how to convert their cars, and recommended that government should provide information about digital radio and the switchover, similar to communications they had seen about the digital TV switchover, in addition to providing assistance for vulnerable groups.

"Have you ever tried to make a change in your life yet didn't stick to it? Many people do - But it's not your fault. Your subconscious mind is more than 88% of your total brain power and the programming in the subconscious is oftentimes what holds us back. My job is to help you unlock the potential of your subconscious mind, so that you can reprogram yourself to live the life you have always wanted to live. By using hypnosis and other hypnotic tools we can take a journey within and learn to understand, love, and master ourselves and the world we live in. Every session with every client is so different, it is such an amazing job and I absolutely love working with people and seeing them make changes in their lives - But the end is not the most important thing: The journey is what counts.
All of these things and more await you upon the journey. The journey within. I truly believe that you have the answer to any challenge that you face - and that the answer is inside of you. Contrary to what most people believe, life is not about finding yourself...it is about creating yourself. You can make the change. You can live the life that you've always wanted to live. You are worth it and you deserve it. So are you ready? When you are, so am I. Hypnosis psychology and counseling works for so many things. You can quit smoking, lose weight, eliminate a fear or phobia, learn self-hypnosis, reduce stress and anxiety and more. Even though I live in Los Angeles, CA I work with people all over the world with telephone sessions and on the internet via skype.com.
Are You Ready To Make The Change???
What ever it is that you would like to work on I sincerely hope you give hypnotherapy a try. It changed my life and I would love nothing better than to be the catalyst of change in your life too. With hypnosis I was able to rid myself of daily headaches and a driving-phobia that lasted for several years after a car-accident, I finally quit smoking after years of failure, I lost 30 lbs, I even used it for test anxiety and memorization during my college exams! But more than all of that, I discovered great things about myself. I found resources and strength that I didn't know was there. I found the ability to be happy no matter what was happening around me. I was able to reach my goals and live my dream-life where I feel fulfilled every day and I make a great living doing what I love and helping wonderful people. And I know that if I can do it you can too.
So I hope you choose to make the choice to contact me and take that first step. That first step is always the hardest one to make, but if you do, I promise if you even experience 10% of the benefits that I have it will be the best decision you have ever made. The time to choose is now. You can either make the change, or stay the same. It's ok if you don't click today, maybe you will come back and click tomorrow or next week - As I said earlier the subconscious mind likes things to stay the same. But the subconscious programming can be changed, so whenever you are ready, whether it is today or next week I am ready too and I can't wait to meet you. I will be your guide to the resources that you have deep down inside. If you are ready all you have to do is click that button below... and get prepared for a journey to a new world where anything is possible and dreams come true".

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

The Russian and U.S. top diplomats will also discuss European missile
defense, visa issues and a bilateral adoption agreement.
In his interview to the Rossiya24 channel shortly before departure, Lavrov
said he would seek explanations for Washington's refusal to provide
legally binding guarantees that the U.S. missile shield in Europe is not
directed against Russia.
The Russian Foreign Minister will also attend a meeting of the Middle East
Quartet of negotiators, comprising Russia, the United Nations, the
European Union and the United States.
Lavrov will meet with his partners in the talks - Clinton, EU foreign

It's the same story every year, for me and people around me.
Along with the end of Christmas, a few weeks into the new year, it dawns upon the Swede that even though the days might have become a bit longer it's still awfully cold and the, once so bright, Christmas snow has gotten itself into an on again off again relationship with the underlying frozen dirty ground, leaving behind it an eyesore of a slushy mess.
Every year we ask ourselves, why? Why do we keep up with it, is it worth spending the better part of our lives living in cold trying to protect ourselves from the wet and the darkness?
When people in warmer climates say that they miss having real seasons, do they really know what they're asking for?
Either way, the argument often ends with the conclusion being drawn that even though the thought of eternally warm and sunny weather, without the need to wear layers of protective clothing, may be nice, it's still pretty great with all the benefits that home has to offer and when that first day of spring finally arrive it was all worth the wait!
There's still a few places left for our "Spend a week with a Mutewatch" test next week so if you want to participate email me at email@example.com.
We are currently looking for men and women between the ages of 25 to 40.
The technician behind the Mutewatch, Johan, will return from our factory in Taiwan on the 25th of February with fresh Mutewatch prototypes waiting to be tested. You will be given a prototype Sunday the 27th of February and then all you have to do is go home and spend the week with a Mutewatch.
If you don't fit into the age group and your life is extradorinary and you feel you would be absolutely perfect for a Mutewatch test, send me an email and we'll work something out.
If you're interested and in Stockholm, Sweden on the dates mentioned above, email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
We want you to help us make Mutewatch better. So if you want to take part in developing and exploring a piece of technology that's soon going to be all over the world, send me an email.
Between the 27th of February and the 6th of March Mutewatch will perform the final prototype tests and we are looking for participants.

Last week I posted an add asking for people wanting to participate in the tests and focus groups we are performing in the final stages of the development of Mutewatch. The response has been overwhelming. People from all over the world has emailed in wanting to take part in the development of Mutewatch. We are very excited.
Last week was an open call. This time I'm going to be a bit more specific. During September Mutewatch will organize a number of focus groups in Stockholm, Sweden where participants will be able to try and touch and discuss Mutewatch. If you're interested please email me at email@example.com
Ones again, thank you all for being so kind and showing such great interest in Mutewatch.

Article by Engadget here
Yesterday Mutewatch made the design of Mutewatch official – aiming to give the world a sneak peek of what we've been working on the past two years…
What we thought would be a small little happening turned out to be a BIG BANG ! The minute Engadget (and shortly after Gizmodo, read it here) wrote about Mutewatch our server broke down because of the amount of people entering the website. We started to get e-mails from small blogs that had written about us after noticing the stream of people entering their pages after searching for Mutewatch on Google. People left comments on our facebook page about wanting to order one, e-mailed us, texted us etc etc.
So what did we do? Even though it was after hours in Sweden I managed to get a hold of the mobile number for the CEO of Crystone (after highjacking the power from all the tv-screens at some random rock bar as I was picking up a delivery in the middle of nowhere with low battery on my phone). He organised so that 600 other websites were shut down in order to try to get our homepage up and running – but it still wasn't enough. Things got even worse (better?) when Sweden started to get what was happening and published interviews made months ago, pictures of the product, sharing on Facebook – not aware of the fact that the current break down was evidence of Engadget's power and the huge interest in the product, all over the world!
We've been working in the basement – hoping and dreaming that in the end you will like what we do. What a reaction! It's only been 24 hours since the press release and the amount of e-mails we've got from people all over the world providing us with their advice, help and cheerful greeting is just madness. Thank you all!! We're listening, we're excited and we're looking forward to provide you with Mutewatch!
People stay tuned! We promise to provide you with some more info about the product within short as we continue our hard working journey! This will be a great deal of fun – and we're happy that so many have joined the ride already! Keep on providing us with your thoguhts – we love it!
Talk soon!

Summertime has finally come to Stockholm!
My legs are stockingless and the loveliest smell of fresh earth and flowers lingers in my nose.
Even though the period January to April in 2010 was the warmest combined global land and ocean surface temperatures on record, we have definitely not experienced a mild winter in Sweden. On the contrary it has been remarkably cold!
So I think I speak for a lot of Swedes when I say: Välkommen sommar!

7.00 A.M. Rural outskirts of Kisumu, Kenya
I can hear Wai Yan brushing her teeth. After she spits out the toothpaste she gurgles something for an entire minute. She may have to drag me to work today; the sound of a nearby wake has made me sleep fitfully throughout most of the night. If I don't get up soon Wai Yan is going to knock on my door. The mosquito net is too short, even though I wrapped the lining tightly underneath my mattress I am no longer laying underneath it. This is annoying; I prefer waking up inside the conical shape of my net since it makes me feel safe. It is now ten past seven, I am going to listen to a song on my iPod and then quickly figure out what to wear. I have to look attractive since I am meeting you for dinner later.
17.30 P.M. Train heading north towards Edinburgh, UK
The man in the aisle opposite me is watching me watch a podcast about Malcolm Gladwell. I try to make him uncomfortable by meeting his gaze and nervously uncrossing and crossing my legs. For a while I listen to two women talk about the difficulties of combining work and motherhood, none of their friends seems to have got it right. I think of the three-year old who kept pulling down my seat tray a few hours earlier, and his indifferent father. As the train makes its way into Scotland I try to imagine what you will look like, waiting for me at Waverley station. The elderly man next to me is watching an episode of House on his laptop, I smile to myself- perhaps the world ain't so bad after all.
13.40 P.M. Arlanda airport, Sweden
No one has come to pick me up. I walk through the throng of people to get a coffee and pretend to wait. My phone has run out of credit and I can't find my Swedish sim card. Every semblance of composure begins to dissolve, and I am reduced to a wet, dribbling mass lying on the ground like a snowman in the sun. A cloud starts to hover above me, then another one and finally a third. I look up expecting rain to wash over my face. And then, suddenly, millions of bouquets start falling over me. I cry and hug my family to death.

Date 2008-04-09 Availability unrestricted Abstract
This dissertation investigates the development of new Global system for mobile communications (GSM) improvement algorithms used to solve the nondeterministic polynomial-time hard (NP-hard) problem of assigning cells to switches. The departure of this project from previous projects is in the area of the GSM network being optimised. Most previous projects tried minimising the signalling load on the network. The main aim in this project is to reduce the operational expenditure as much as possible while still adhering to network element constraints. This is achieved by generating new network configurations with a reduced transmission cost. Since assigning cells to switches in cellular mobile networks is a NP-hard problem, exact methods cannot be used to solve it for real-size networks. In this context, heuristic approaches, evolutionary search algorithms and clustering techniques can, however, be used.
This dissertation presents a comprehensive and comparative study of the above-mentioned categories of search techniques adopted specifically for GSM network improvement. The evolutionary search technique evaluated is a genetic algorithm (GA) while the unsupervised learning technique is a Gaussian mixture model (GMM). A number of custom-developed heuristic search techniques with differing goals were also experimented with.
The implementation of these algorithms was tested in order to measure the quality of the solutions. Results obtained confirmed the ability of the search techniques to produce network configurations with a reduced operational expenditure while still adhering to network element constraints. The best results found were using the Gaussian mixture model where savings of up to 17% were achieved. The heuristic searches produced promising results in the form of the characteristics they portray, for example, load-balancing. Due to the massive problem space and a suboptimal chromosome representation, the genetic algorithm struggled to find high quality viable solutions.
The objective of reducing network cost was achieved by performing cell-to-switch optimisation taking traffic distributions, transmission costs and network element constraints into account. These criteria cannot be divorced from each other since they are all interdependent, omitting any one of them will lead to inefficient and infeasible configurations. Results obtained further indicated that the search space consists out of two components namely, traffic and transmission cost. When optimising, it is very important to consider both components simultaneously, if not, infeasible or suboptimum solutions are generated. It was also found that pre-processing has a major impact on the cluster-forming ability of the GMM. Depending on how the pre-processing technique is set up, it is possible to bias the cluster-formation process in such a way that either transmission cost savings or a reduction in inter base station controller/switching centre traffic volume is given preference.
Two of the difficult questions to answer when performing network capacity expansions are where to install the remote base station controllers (BSCs) and how to alter the existing BSC boundaries to accommodate the new BSCs being introduced. Using the techniques developed in this dissertation, these questions can now be answered with confidence.

Nexus 7 docking station going on sale this month for $40
But the original Nexus 7 is still one of the most popular tablets out there and good news is it will finally get an official docking station made by Asus and it's going on sale in the next two weeks. The price is set at $39.99 and we are already seeing it hit the listings on retailers such as B&H where the release date is January 16th.
The dock itself has a microUSB port and a 3.5mm jack so you can charge it and hook it up to your sound system while it's docked.

I really don't see the point of this dock...
Am I missing something? why isn't there a video out plug or USB ports, or SD slot...
This is not attractive for a company that does the best docks for tablets, phones and laptops...
2. rawkuss (Posts: 29; Member since: 02 Nov 2012)
For $40, it is.
3. Fallout09 (Posts: 419; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
$40? Why so much? Did they have to pay Apple licensing fees?
4. buccob (Posts: 1564; Member since: 19 Jun 2012)
$40 to replicate ports already found on the tablet... and just to prop it up?
For me that's debatable... but I can't argue that much, I dont have the Nexus 7 to properly comment whether this dock is justifiable...
Anyway if I had a tablet, I wouldn't spend 40 bucks on this... I rather buy a bunch of paid apps, or a case, or bluetooth controller, or a wireless keyboard...
But this does not extend the functionality of a tablet so much... maybe if they were asking $ 20
5. Fallout09 (Posts: 419; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Agreed. I have a Nexus 7 and could see paying $19.99 max for this docking station
6. ZayZay (Posts: 565; Member since: 26 Feb 2011)
Although the Nexus Dock is appealing, I bought a fake leather case/bluetooth detachable keyboard/ stylus holder $25 on overstock.

text: A stylish ménage à trois played out against the looming threat of the First World War Truffaut's popular New Wave classic is a romantic rollercoaster of a movie, imbued with a style symptomatic of the great auteur. As part of our ongoing monthly members only strand, Screen Epiphanies, the film is introduced by award-winning actor John Hurt. In an onstage discussion with Eddie Berg, Hurt reveals when he first saw the film and his astonished reaction to the first viewing. With a detailed character analysis, glowing praise for the complex relationship Truffaut has captured on film and a discussion of how the feature inspired him – not just in his acting but to a greater love of cinema – Hurt's comments are a perfect introduction to this touching French classic.

Safe Microwave Cooking
Important Things to Do When Cooking in a Microwave
Arrange the food.
- Cut the food into pieces that are the same size, if possible. Cutting will give the food more edges and edges get more exposure to microwaves.
- Since outer areas receive more heat than the center, arrange thicker pieces on the outside of the dish.
Cover the food.
- Cover the dish with a lid, paper towel, or plastic wrap. Do not let the plastic wrap touch the food; see below. This will trap steam. This moist heat will destroy bacteria and help even the temperature throughout the food.
Rotate the food.
- Some microwaves have a rotating dish in the center. If yours does not, stop the microwave half way through the cooking time to rotate the dish.
Stir the food.
- Stopping the cooking half way through the cooking time to stir the food is the best way to ensure elimination of cold spots and bacteria.
Let it sit.
- Food continues to cook after the microwave turns off. This is due to the vibration of the outer food cells penetrating the heat to the inner cells. This is important for the thorough heating and killing of bacteria.
Food Safety Temperatures
- Large cuts of meat should be cut smaller. If that is not possible, then meats should be cooked on 50% power (medium) to allow the heat to reach the center without overcooking the outer areas.
Use a food thermometer to verify that the food has reached a temperature where the bacteria have been destroyed. Safe cooking temperatures:
- Red meat: 160˚F (71°C)
- Poultry: 165˚F (74°C)
- Pork: 160˚F (71°C)
- Leftovers: 165˚F (74°C)
- Cooking a stuffed poultry in a microwave is not recommended.
Containers and Wraps
- Glass
- Ceramic
- Other containers labeled specifically for microwave use
- Aluminum foil
- Plates made of Styrofoam or plastic plates that do not say they are microwave safe
- Storage containers such as margarine tubs and take-out containers with metal handles

Topic Outline
Varicella zoster virus (VZV) infection of cerebral arteries produces a vasculopathy, manifesting most often as ischemic stroke and less often as hemorrhagic stroke. Vasculopathy can occur after either primary infection with VZV (ie, varicella; chickenpox) or after viral reactivation (ie, herpes zoster; shingles) [1].
This topic will review the pathogenesis, epidemiology, risk factors for, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of VZV vasculopathy. The major clinical manifestations and complications of chickenpox and herpes zoster are discussed separately. (See "Epidemiology of varicella-zoster virus infection: Chickenpox" and "Treatment of varicella-zoster virus infection: Chickenpox" and "Vaccination for the prevention of varicella-zoster virus infection: Chickenpox" and "Clinical manifestations of varicella-zoster virus infection: Herpes zoster" and "Prevention of varicella-zoster virus infection: Herpes zoster".)
VZV vasculopathy has previously been called granulomatous angiitis, VZV vasculitis, or post-varicella arteriopathy; a subset of patients has specific ocular and motor findings known as herpes zoster ophthalmicus with delayed contralateral hemiparesis.
Early reports described ischemic large vessel strokes, although it is now appreciated that both large and small arteries are commonly involved. An expanded spectrum of stroke caused by VZV infection has been increasingly recognized including aneurysm, subarachnoid and intracerebral hemorrhage, arterial ectasia, and possibly dissection [2-4].
VZV is a ubiquitous human DNA virus of the herpesvirus family. Primary infection occurs via respiratory aerosols or contact with vesicles from an infected individual and results in the characteristic, disseminated rash of varicella (ie, chickenpox).

Full 2006 Suzuki Verona Review
What's New for 2006
Antilock brakes are now standard on all Veronas, and Suzuki has consolidated last year's trim levels into base and Luxury models.
Although new to the American market in 2004, the Suzuki Verona was already sold as the Daewoo Magnus in other parts of the world. The Verona represents the largest Suzuki car in the lineup, and it's being marketed as a less expensive alternative to more mainstream sedans like the Camry and Accord. Penned by Italdesign in Turin, Italy, the Suzuki Verona sports smooth, uncluttered lines that are neither awkward nor overly distinctive. In terms of size, the Verona comes in a shade shorter than the Accord but about equal in width and height.
One of the Verona's main selling points is a standard six-cylinder engine. At 2.5 liters, it's on the small side (about the same size as most four-cylinders found in this class) but Suzuki touts the inherent smoothness of its inline design. We can confirm that the engine does indeed deliver its power in a smooth manner, but overall acceleration is weak, even when compared to competing four-cylinders. Unlike most import brand offerings in this segment, however, there is no available manual transmission or more frugal four-cylinder engine.
Inside, the Suzuki Verona aims to trump its competitors with a long list of standard features that defies the car's cut-rate price. Base models are packed with standard items like a CD player, full power accessories, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and cruise control. A higher-line package adds amenities like automatic climate control and leather seats -- clearly not the kind of equipment you would expect to find on a budget sedan.
The Verona isn't an eye-catching standout but it does offer a smooth power plant, a roomy interior, a low price and a long powertrain warranty. When compared side by side with existing price leaders, the Verona still isn't the most inexpensive sedan in the family sedan segment, but it's close. However, in its current form, the 2006 Suzuki Verona faces a serious struggle, mainly due to its weak engine performance, sloppy handling and mediocre crash test scores. While bargain hunters may find its package of amenities enticing, we think they'd be better off with a Sonata or Fusion.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The midsize Suzuki Verona sedan is offered in two trim levels, base and Luxury. Standard features include power windows and door locks, heated power mirrors, cruise control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter, keyless entry, a tilt steering wheel, a six-way adjustable driver seat, air conditioning, a CD/cassette stereo and floor mats. Step up to the Luxury model and you'll get automatic climate control, a power sunroof, 16-inch alloy wheels, heated leather seats, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, an eight-way power driver seat and traction control.
Powertrains and Performance
All trim levels come with a 2.5-liter inline six-cylinder engine that produces 155 horsepower and 172 pound-feet of torque. The front-wheel-drive Verona comes standard with a four-speed automatic transmission. A manual transmission is not available.
All models come with four-wheel antilock disc brakes and side airbags for front occupants. Neither full-length side curtain airbags nor stability control is available. In NHTSA crash testing, the Suzuki Verona earned three out of five stars for driver protection in frontal impacts and four stars for the front passenger. In side-impact tests, the Verona earned four stars for front-occupant protection and three stars for rear occupants. Frontal-offset crash testing conducted by the IIHS returned a rating of "Acceptable," the second highest. Side-impact tests on the Suzuki car, however, resulted in a rating of "Marginal," the second lowest.
Interior Design and Special Features
Inside, the Suzuki Verona offers a pleasing two-tone ensemble not unlike that of the Accord. The material used on the dash and door tops has an upscale grain pattern and is soft to the touch. White-faced gauges light up in a soothing lime-green color that matches the readouts for the automatic climate control and stereo head unit. Unfortunately, not all of the materials return an impression of quality, as various plastics feel glossy and cheap. Both the front and rear seats provide passable comfort for adults, though taller passengers may find the legroom a bit tight in the back.
Driving Impressions
The driving experience is the least enjoyable aspect of the 2006 Suzuki Verona. The trouble begins under the hood, as the car's 2.5-liter inline six isn't able to summon forth the requisite energy for quick bursts of acceleration. Power delivery, at least, is smooth, and the four-speed automatic does a commendable job with gear selection. Overly soft suspension tuning yields a cushy highway ride that any grizzled commuter will appreciate, but the trade-off is a Suzuki car that feels weak-kneed around twists and turns. The brake pedal is also on the soft side, but stopping distances are short.

Single-cell parasites co-opt "ready-made" genes from host: UBC research
July 19, 2012
Two species of single-cell parasites have co-opted "ready-made" genes from their hosts that in turn help them exploit their hosts, according to a new study by University of British Columbia and University of Ottawa researchers.
Part of a group of parasitic microbes called microsporidia, Encephalitozoon hellem and Encephalitozoon romaleae are related to fungi and are commonly found in the intestines of vertebrates. In humans, they are associated with people with immune deficiencies.
The research team identified six genes in these parasites that were not found in any other microsporidian. Rather than the slow process of inheriting individual genes, E. hellem and E. romaleae have acquired a suite of genes that produce folate, a form of folic acid that helps cell division and growth.
Details are published this week in the online journal PNAS Early Edition.
"With their tiny, reduced genomes, microsporidia are models for gene loss," says lead author Patrick Keeling, a professor in UBC's Dept. of Botany.
"These parasites have undergone massive genome reductions and are literally infection machines – they only kept genes that are essential for survival."
"But here we found two species have actually acquired new genes that work together to make an essential nutrient that the parasites would otherwise have to steal from their host – opening up new tissues or even new hosts as targets for infection," says Keeling, director of the Centre for Microbial Diversity and Evolution and a member of Beaty Biodiversity Research Centre at UBC.
The process of horizontal gene transfer – the ability to acquire ready-made genes with specific functions from foreign genomes – is an important but often overlooked mechanism of evolution, according to Keeling. "It helps explain the relatively rapid evolution of these tiny organisms and their ability to infect and live off of a wide variety of hosts."
The study is available at: http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2012/07/12/1205020109.full.pdf+html
