There are a number of deduplication solutions from various vendors available for you to choose from. There are plenty of discussions about various kinds of deduplication solutions and how those help to reduce the amount of secondary storage required for backups. In a series of blogs titled The power of NetBackup deduplication, we looked at various aspects of NetBackup deduplication and elaborated on how NetBackup provides a powerful, global, flexible and application aware deduplication technology which stands out from the crowd. The availability of appliance form factor for NetBackup deduplication made it a very popular turnkey solution for enterprise. However we didn't really say anything about one of the most important decision factor when you are shopping for dedupe, how much does it really cost to implement and maintain a deduplication solution?
As always, there are two parts to consider when assessing the total cost of ownership.
- Upfront costs: The cost involved in procuring and implementing the solution
- Maintenance costs: The cost involved in maintaining and refreshing the solution for optimum performance and ROI.
Upfront costs:
Deduplication is available in build-your-own software form factor as well as in ready-to-use hardware appliances.
The prerequisites of a software solution are procuring commodity hardware, operating system (if applicable) and storage. You also need to account for the cost involved in hours spent by staff or integrator to build everything from ground up. This cost depends on your current situation. If you are planning to repurpose existing hardware and storage or you have the option to procure commodity hardware and storage at a huge discount, it would make sense to go for a software based solution. If you already have skilled staff to build such environments, it is a huge plus.
Getting an appliance based deduplication solution tend to smoothen purchasing and deployment experience. Most appliances also come with embedded storage. NetBackup appliances are turnkey solutions which can be deployed in a matter of minutes.
There are two upfront costs to watch from various vendors.
- The cost of replication engine: Most vendors do charge for turning on replication feature. With NetBackup deduplication, you get replication capability at no additional cost. We will explain the importance of replication in detail while discussing maintenance costs.
- The cost of encryption: Vendors may charge for turning on encryption feature. Encryption feature is needed to protect your data at rest as well as in flight from client. Note that some vendors may not even have this security feature. With NetBackup deduplication, there is no additional cost involved in using encryption.
Maintenance costs:
It is trickier to compare true cost of maintenance from various vendors. Don't simply fall for a discount or promotion offered by a vendor for the upfront cost. This could be a trap to get their solution into your data center. The TCO can be significantly high for maintenance which will be clear only after the foot print is already in the data center whereby needing to spend more on getting the expensive solution replaced.
Let us explore the hidden costs in this category. The task is much simpler if you remember the 3Rs in maintenance costs. Retention, Replication and Refresh.
- Retention: If a vendor is charging you per terabytes of data stored in deduplication pool, retention is going to be a challenge. The longer you keep your backups, the more is the space consumption and hence the cost of deduplication will increase drastically. With regulations and compliance requirements; more and more organizations are in need of keeping data longer. It is better to adopt a licensing model where you pay for the amount of data you are really protecting. This method is known as front end terabyte (FETB) capacity model. NetBackup deduplication uses FETB model.
- Replication: The purpose of deduplication is to avoid keeping duplicate copies of data on storage. Thus a given segment with a hash (finger print) may be owned by hundreds of backups. In an event that the deduplication storage is compromised (e.g. an unexpected disaster at the primary site), you need at least one additional copy elsewhere. This is achieved by replication. The replication target is generally offsite but it could also be on-premise for better availability based on your business requirements. There are two things to watch for when assessing the cost of replication. One is the upfront cost for the replication engine which we had already discussed earlier. The second is the cost of additional copies. If a vendor is licensing based on the amount of space consumed in deduplication storage, you will end up paying for creating additional copies at replication targets. As NetBackup deduplication is using FETB model, there is no additional cost involved in making multiple copies.
- Refresh: Watch for vendors bundling deduplication engine and hardware together. A hardware refresh would mean paying for deduplication engine once again with the new equipment. With NetBackup appliances, software and hardware are licensed separately. When you need to refresh your hardware, you only need to pay for the new hardware. The software license stays with you forever and it can be transferred to refreshed equipment. Similarly, if you had already invested on software license deployed on commodity hardware, it can be transferred to a hardware appliance as well.
Don't be duped by dedupe! Pick a solution that brings down TCO while providing a powerful deduplication platform.

For example, according to the database, Crabhammer is a special move in Gen III, but overall it's physical. I'm wondering if this is true. moves gen-3 asked Jan 1, 2013 by pokedude69 Please log in or register to add a comment. Please log in or register to answer this question. 1 Answer 1 vote Best answer Well its quite simple, in Generation 1,2 and 3 Pokemon types where either Physical or Special not a mix. The following types where special: Grass, Fire, Electric, Water, Ice, Dragon, Physic, and Dark. The other 9 types were all Physical. So Crabhammer was Special in Generation 3 but changed to Phyiscal in Generation 4 and 5. answered Jan 1, 2013 by Aura Warrior selected Jan 3, 2013 by pokedude69 Thank you very much. I remember reading something about that, but I didn't know it went all the way until Gen 3. I thought it might have only been the first 2.

Happy Pretty Links

Thursday, June 28, 2012
I'm ending on a colorful note as I bring my coverage of the Brooklyn Renegade Craft Fair to a close; starting with Nancy and Andy of Circa Ceramics. Based in Chicago, Circa Cermaics creates bright eye popping kitchenware featuring fun nostalgic graphics, like good 'ole tape cassette below....
Up next is Earth Cadets by Krissy Callahan, also based in Chicago. Earth Cadets design tote bags, pillows and onesies all by hand, screenprinted or dyed and made from 100% recycled materials. My favorite it El Zorro below - (put a fox on it!)
I also loved the witty t-shirts of Gnome Enterprises based right here in Brooklyn. All the shirts featured hand-drawn original designs for men, women and children. This shop has my husband written all over it - I will definitely be back on their site during the holidays for sure. Because nothing says I love you like a t-shirt with a robot fighting a dinosaur...
And finally...ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for...
FRENCHIES ON A PILLOW! ROCCO ON A PILLOW! GAAGHH!!! Which is exactly what I squealed when I came across the shop, In the Seam designed by Brooklynite Ronda J Smith. Here, Ronda combines her love of photography and pillow-making to create the fine art of pure awesomeness. She can also create custom designs so you too can have a pillow of your adorable furry critter!
Wednesday, June 27, 2012
My coverage of the Brooklyn Renegade Craft Fair continues with some more of my favorites shops, such as Leslie Barrett of Chime. Chime creates handmade jewerly using materials from cracked and beat drum cymbals donated by drummers all over the country!
I also admire the illustration work by Bryce Wymer of Flat Earth. Flat Earth is a visual collective based right here in Brooklyn. Check out some of Bryce's pieces below, beautifully communicated through prints, dishwares and toys.
I was also drawn by the work of Peg and Awl. This husband and wife due, based in Philadelphia, creates jewelry, journals, bags (pictured below) and home/garden items from recovered and neglected materials. Sustainablilty at its finest!
Tuesday, June 26, 2012
I'm picking up where I left off yesterday with more incredible shops from the Renegade Craft Fair in Brooklyn. Starting with Hannah Ferrara of Another Feather from Asheville, North Carolina. I'm a huge fan of her work and really admire the beautiful details she adds to her pieces. (more after the jump!)
Not only is Hannah a very talented skilled artisan but so is her husband Malcom of Fleet Co. Fleet Co. sells handmade leather goods using premium North American leather. Here were some of his beautiful well-crafted items {that my husband was eyeing} below...Sharing the tent with Hannah was Karie of Shelter. Shelter designs bags, clutches and wraps made from local and sustainable materials made 100% in the USA. I especially appreciate how she incorporates geometric designs onto her leather bags.

The Renegade Craft Fair rolled into town this past weekend! Excited to cross another item off mysummer bucket list, Joe and I trekked on over to Brooklyn - and I'm happy to report, we were not disappointed. It's one thing to appreciate handcrafted items online but to actually touch and feel them, take the experience a new level. You really get a sense of the hard work and dedication these artisans put into their items. Not only was I was blown away by their talent but also how nice and personable they all were. (That's just something you don't get when shopping on Amazon!) Over the next few days, I look foward to sharing with you some of my favorite crafters, starting my these incredible shops below - more after the jump!
A.Heirloom - I've been a fan of this Brooklyn-based shop on Etsy for quite some time, so when I got to meet Amy in person, I was so excited. She and her husband Bill create cutting boards in the shape of states! What started off as a display idea for their wedding reception, quickly turned into a unique way to show off one's state pride. Naturally, New York is my favorite (I love how they included a little version of Long Island too!)......................................................................................................................................................
Monkey Barsoap - I was immediately drawn to this shop by the intense aromas of soaps! Based in Sunnyside Queens, the soap and bath products are 100% natural and vegan. What's also cool about this shop is that you can also join their soap of the month club!......................................................................................................................................................
Sweater Toys - How cute are these guys?! Sweater Toys is a Brooklyn-based shop dedicated to recycling old sweaters, cashmeres and cardigans and turning them into the most adorable looking critters you've ever seen. My favorite little buddy is the narwhal - the unicorn of the sea!
Yoga in the Park
Another item to cross off the summer bucket list! Last week my book club decided to do some yoga in Central Park. We were to discuss the spiritual book, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari and our host Colleen thought it would be neat tie Open Air Yoga into this month's theme.
It was such an amazing experience. Our instructor Donna was great! She teaches the class every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday - (Tuesdays in Battery Park City) and for $15 not only does she challenge you to work through your vinyasa, but she also offers a refreshing beverage after the class. That was my favorite part - her mint strawberry limeade was delicious!
What makes yoga in Central Park so unique is that you never know who's going to stop by. Like for instance this nice lady named Martha (not really her name.) Here Martha is demonstrating her agility at the age of 70 - god bless her!Here my friend Pam is demonstrating her beautiful crow pose - nice form!
Central Park, yoga, picnic and friends - was just what I needed after a stressful day. Namaste!

You know what's great after a hard day's work? Cocktails! You know what's even better? Having them outside on a roof! If you ever find yourself in my neck of the woods, be sure to check out the Rooftop Garden Cafe and Martini Bar at the Met....
I've been meaning to go for quite some time but could never fit it into my busy schedule. Plus, they close pretty early - 4:30 on weekdays and 8pm on the weekend. So when my girlfriend Sharon suggested we go there for our Friday drinks, I jumped at the opportunity.
The view overlooking Central Park is beautiful and it's a nice spot for people-watching. There were tourists but I didn't have that "stranger in my own land" feeling which I experience in places like Times Square or Fulton Street. In fact, the place is perfect for natives and non-natives to mingle and get to know one and other. I always love asking tourists where they're from, why they're here, what they've seen. It never fails to blow my mind that people travel from all parts of the world to visit to my backyard - it's a humbling reminder not to take this city for granted...
This was my one of my drinks. Don't ask me what the name was, in fact, I can't recall any of the names of my drinks that day. All I know was that this was the blue one with a lot of smoke.
Cloud City by Tomás Saraceno. You can actually climb it! (Not recommended after a couple of those blue smoke drinks...)
Not only can you window-shop in New York, but you can also people-shop. Which is what I did off of my new friend, Jennette. I love her necklace!
Sometimes, I like to make up stories about the people I watch. For instance, I like to think that this man's name is Franz, an art collector from Austria and this is his secret lover Julia, an unhappy housewife of the Upper East Side. Franz is saying, "I had to see you once more" and Julia replies "What are you doing calling me at my home? This is madness! Madness, I say!"
...Or they could also be talking about C-SPAN...

Ten years ago, if you were to tell me that I was going to live in Manhattan's Upper East Side, I'd say you were crazy. I always thought I would live in the Village or Chelsea - basically anywhere below 34th street. But you go where your heart is, and my heart, Joe, happened to live off of the 6.
At first, I hated living here. It was quite a culture shock moving from Astoria. I thought the UES was old and stuffy with way too many strollers! But as time went on, I realized that those were preconceived steryotypes perpetuated by movies and reality television. Little by little, this neighborhood has grown on me. I love walking to the museums. I love buying fresh pasta at Agata and Valentina. I love taking my dog to Central Park and watching him run for miles and miles...
...But what I love the most about the Upper East Side is how quiet and empty it is on a summer weekend that it feels like it's all yours for the taking...

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section.

• Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who starred as the title character in Kick-Ass, is set to join The Avengers: Age of Ultron where he'll play the part of Quicksilver — twin to the Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) and son of Magneto. According to the report, the British actor had to figure out his publicity duties for the new Godzilla (which also stars Olsen) prior to committing to the sequel, which reunites Scarlett Johansson, Robert Downey Jr, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Samuel L. Jackson, and Jeremy Renner. The Joss Whedon-directed sequel to 2012's hugely successful The Avengers is set to hit theaters on May 1, 2015. Taylor-Johnson also starred alongside Keira Knightley as Vronsky in Joe Wright's Anna Karenina and is married to Sam Taylor-Johnson, who is directing Fifty Shades of Grey. [The Wrap]

Who better to cast in his film about a pair of middle-aged marrieds yearning for youth than Ad-Rock, or Adam Horovitz, of the Beastie Boys? If cast, Horovitz would play the guy who has grown up, had a kid, and basically moved on with his life, bringing Naomi Watts and Ben Stiller's still-childless relationship into harsh perspective. Adam Driver and Amanda Seyfried star as the young free spirits who Watts and Stiller befriend. Horovitz is no stranger to acting work, and has appeared in a number of projects over the years including A Kiss Before Dying. [The Wrap]

'Breaking Dawn's Mackenzie Foy cast in 'Wish You Well'
Mackenzie Foy, the young actress who plays Renesmee — the daughter of Bella and Edward — in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1 and 2, has been cast in Wish You Well, a drama co-starring Ellen Burstyn and Josh Lucas, EW has confirmed. READ FULL STORY
Meet Renesmee! Mackenzie Foy of 'Breaking Dawn -- Part 2'
The character of Renesmee, the half-human, half-vampire baby maturing at an unnatural rate, lies at the heart of the drama in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2.
And picking the right actress was essential. "It's a hugely important part, says director Bill Condon, who spotted Mackenzie Foy, now 11, early on in the audition process. "But this was kind of obvious. It was one of those rare times when you see something — like with an apartment or house — and it feels good and you just need to take it. I felt that way, like, 'Oh, this is good.'"
Foy grew up outside of Los Angeles and has been working steadily — she booked her first gig, modeling for Ralph Lauren at the age of 3 — modeling, appearing in commercials, and acting on TV shows such as 'Til Death, Hawaii Five-O, and Flashforward. She picked up some new skills while shooting Breaking Dawn, thanks to her famous costars. Taylor Lautner taught her how to throw a football and Kristen Stewart gave her tips on summoning tears onscreen. ("She said to think of something sad for a very long time.")
The actress, who is homeschooled, just completed fifth grade. She says hopes to continue being an actress — and eventually a director — for the rest of her life. But in the near future? "I'm going to swim and eat popsicles."

Investigation centers on whether Jay-Z illegally recruited Jets QB. Terry McCormick
New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith's alignment with Roc Nation, the company formed by entertainer Jay-Z, is under scrutiny from the NFL Players Association, according to NFL.com.
A letter was sent to Kim Miale, who is the certified contract advisor for Roc Nation Sports, giving notification of the investigation.
Apparently at the crux of the matter is whether Jay-Z actively recruited Smith to join Roc Nation. Under NFLPA guidelines, the rapper would not be allowed to recruit any player because he is not a certified agent.

The United States says it has transferred two men from the US detention centre at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to their homeland of Algeria.
The Pentagon on Thursday announced the transfer of Nabil Said Hadjarab and Mutia Sadiq Ahmad Sayyab, leaving 164 detainees still at the prison, including 84 others cleared for release years ago.
It was not immediately clear how long the two had been held by the US government.
The Pentagon said the decision to release them came after a comprehensive review by an interagency task force.
"As a result of that review, which examined a number of factors, including security issues, these men were approved for transfer by consensus of the six departments and agencies comprising the task force," the Pentagon said in a statement.
President Barack Obama has vowed to close the prison, which has held dozens of prisoners - most without charge - for more than a decade. But the process has dragged on for years.
Obama promised to close the facility during his 2008 presidential campaign, citing its damage to the US reputation around the world, but he has been unable to do so, in part because of resistance by Congress.
The prison camp was established during the presidency of George Bush after the September 11, 2001 attack on the US to house foreign terrorism suspects.

Warmongers puzzle me. A warmonger is: "One who advocates or attempts to stir up war." What motivates these people?
I suppose that in some primitive hunter-gatherer societies, a warmonger could be seeking to expand food producing territory or to gain ritual tribal status or to enact revenge on a neighboring society; Homer describes these motives well, although his societies were of a higher order of sophistication than, say, the archaic Inuit Eskimos, about whom we don't hear of such behavior. One might say that warmongering arises where one society has something that another society wants to steal by force, as the Hyksos wanted to steal the wealth of Egypt, although there is the personal component of acquiring raw power over the lives of people that may attract some individuals to war. Greed and power, then, are most likely the prime motives of the warmonger in historical times.
But what about today? Why would already rich and powerful Americans want to put both their money and their prestige at risk to promote war? Sure, the state can extort a million dollars from the taxpayers and use it to build a Patriot missile for the express purpose of blowing it up and destroying somebody else's life and property and I suppose that some part of that million goes into a warmonger's pocket. Is war, then, simply another way to transfer wealth from the taxpayer to the rich by force and fraud?
I should stop here and ask, how did the rich warmongers get rich in the first place? Unfortunately, I don't know. It's reported that the revolving door between the public sector and the private sector pumps millions of tax dollars into well-known pockets, proving that people who make the laws know how to evade them. But what about the wealthy warmongers who don't have their fingers in the public till? Did they get rich by force and fraud as well?
I wonder. When a man puts up a half-a-million dollars to fund an organization explicitly created to criminalize American freedom of speech, I wonder what's in it for him? To sell the idea of another world war to a disillusioned American people requires silencing opposition in general and Lew Rockwell in particular, that much is obvious, but where is the real return to this man's investment? Does he merely want to direct the firing squad or run the gulag for American dissident writers?
That doesn't make sense to me. What does make sense is a far larger ambition, like the ambition of Alexander, Julius Caesar, Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin, and Mao, to enslave the whole of mankind under one ruler in a One World State. Would the wealthy warmonger desire that kind of power for himself? Or would he prefer to be the power behind the power? Not the King, but the King-Maker?
I wish I knew the answer. Warmongers puzzle me.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Stock futures were pointing to a higher open on Wall Street Wednesday after President Obama said he is willing to negotiate with the Republicans if they in exchange work to promptly end the government shutdown and raise the debt ceiling even if it was only for a temporary four to six weeks.
In news that could calm markets, Obama is expected to nominate Fed Vice Chair Janet Yellen to become the next head of the Federal Reserve. Ben Bernanke's term ends on Jan. 31. Yellen's nomination is expected to be announced at 3 p.m. EDT, and is likely to guarantee a more prolonged period of record accommodative policies. The Fed's current vice-chairman has been an avid supporter of the central bank's current $85 billion bond-buying program. She would be the first woman to take on the Fed chair role.
Prior to the Yellen announcement, the Fed is scheduled to release a summary of its September policy meeting, a gathering at which policymakers maintained the current pace of their bond-buying program amid concerns that current fiscal policy is restraining economic growth. The minutes will be released at 2 p.m.
Futures for the S&P 500 were adding 4 points, or 5.4 points above fair value, to 1,654.5. Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were up 26 points, or 36.47 points above fair value, to 14,740.

Starbucks (SBUX) shares were edging marginally higher to $75.60. CEO Howard Schultz said that the customers who buy coffee for someone else will receive a free tall brewed coffee beginning Wednesday through October 11 to encourage citizens to "come together by supporting one another during a particularly challenging time" in a period marred by a government shutdown and pending debt ceiling resolution. J.C. Penney Company (JCP) was advancing 2.96% to $8 on news that current Saks (SKS) CEO Stephen Sadove will be joining the board of the struggling department store company upon the completion of the buyout of the luxury store chain by Hudson's Bay Co around the end of the year. Sadove has been Saks' CEO since 2006 and has been applauded for his role in boosting e-commerce traffic at Saks. The FTSE 100 in London was down by 0.11% and the DAX in Germany was up by 0.17%.

Desire2Learn has unveiled new capabilities for its flagship learning platform, including integration with several collaboration, communication, and accessibility tools. The announcement was made at the Educause 2012 conference taking place this week in Denver.
Among the new features is interoperability with Cisco's WebEx conferencing and collaboration software, providing "seamless" integration that allows users to host WebEx conferences within online rooms when using the Desire2Learn Learning Suite.
D2L is also offering enhanced accessibility features through integrations with ReadSpeaker and Automatic Sync Technologies. ReadSpeaker offers cloud-based text-to-speech technologies, which are now integrated into the D2L Learning Suite.
According to D2L: "The TTS service helps all learners expand their comprehension and allows for bi-model learning as well as ease of use with model access. The seamlessly integrated TTS feature requires no downloads and works on all supported devices and operating systems, further enabling users that would otherwise have to download and install third party installed software."
D2L is also now offering integration with Automatic Sync Technologies' CaptionSync, which is specifically designed "to support accessibility in education for the deaf and hard of hearing across its customer base."
Finally, D@L also reported that it's now working with Ellucian to provide deeper integration with the company's student information system.

Vacuum Filters
Who does not love a clean house free from grime and dust? Vacuum cleaner filters are the essential parts of the vacuum cleaner that keep the dirt sucked up by the cleaner in the machine. It helps kill the germs and contaminants that are trapped within. They are positioned such that they can trap the dust mites and pollutants before it reaches the motor and the exhaust. There are various kinds of filters available including the ultra fine air filter and some vacuum cleaning systems even use water as a filter. Water filtration helps trap wet dust that is not airborne. Having a fully functional vacuum filter is critical to maintain the suction and dirt handling ability of the vacuum cleaner. You are not just saving yourself from the harmful effects of these dust particles but also saving the critical parts of the vacuum cleaning system from failure. We recommend you change vacuum filters regularly, once in six months atleast.
Want to find a filter for your vacuum cleaning system? At GoVacuum, we have a full range of filters including motor filters and HEPA filters. The vacuum cleaner is a formidable cleaning tool today and the combination of its cleaning capacity and ease of use are major factors that influence the buying decision.

While there is always some information to discuss about how the news will be consumed via the free model online or through a myriad of paywalls another area of the news industry is changing just as rapidly. News reporting is still the domain (for the most part) of the professional journalist but the amateur news reporter is becoming more and more desired. YouTube recognizes this and is offering a service to help get the amateurs and the pros connected.
YouTube has signed up NPR, Politico, The Huffington Post and The San Francisco Chronicle for YouTube Direct, a new method for managing video submissions from readers.

"Asperger's syndrome is a gift, autism is a burden" – it's a popular phrase in the internet about autism symptoms. But is it true?
Differences between these disorders and their symptoms really exist, primarily in the severity of the violations and number of symptoms. For example, Asperger's syndrome involves fewer symptoms. People with Asperger's syndrome, as well as people with autism symptoms, do not pay attention to others, but they can be of great interest to meet people and establish friendships. However, their awkward attempts to start conversations and insensitivity to the feelings and intentions of other people makes it impossible to produce any lasting friendship. These problems cause frustration and depression, and sometimes even aggression. The deficit in social interaction in people with Asperger's syndrome symptoms is less pronounced, comparing with classic autism symptoms. People with Asperger syndrome may feel a sense of attachment, usually to family members or close friends of the family.
Is Asperger syndrome one of Autism symptoms or not?
Some experts say, that Asperger's Syndrome is a form of autism, or autistic constitutional pathology. Autistic people are all different, so there a lot of different types of this disorder, including this one. Asperger's syndrome may have (or have not) so different manifestations, that people with it don't even know that they are sick.
Asperger syndrome is usually associated with more capable children in the autistic spectrum, so its diagnosis is more difficult. These children have better developed language skills and show greater commitment to communication, than kids with symptoms of classic (Kanner's) autism. It is generally accepted that children with autism symptoms or Asperger's syndrome, in both cases show the same triad of disorders. Thus, in both cases the same methods of treatment are suitable.

Students with Asperger's syndrome can achieve good academic results, especially in more formal subjects, such as mathematics. However, they require significant assistance in social situations, to maintain acceptable behavior and develop organizational skills. There are areas, which are very difficult for these children.
Example: John is doing well in school, he has developed range of interests, but he is afraid of tests. Sometimes this fear is so strong that John refused to leave home, and parents make a big effort to get him to school.
The problems associated with communicating with peers, may lead to serious consequences. The child feels unhappy that leads to depression or an increase of aggressive behavior. So Asperger's syndrome and autism symptoms are not the same.
Autism is a state of mind when a child is like "removed" from the outside world and immersed in himself. Most often this disorder is observed in boys. The disease is expressed in the absence of individual activity, followed by a delay in speech development, attention and memory. Child with autism symptoms is not embedded in the events around him, he avoids contacts with people, may not respond to the requests.
Main Autism Symptoms
1. Autistic children have stereotyped thinking, they are applying once perceived scheme to all suitable cases. They are afraid of anything new. Phobias of such children may develop in anything. Kids with autism symptoms may suffer sensory phobia: fear of appliances, dark, bright lights, closed doors or even dress with high collar.
2. These children avoid direct eye view, they often use peripheral vision – looking just by the corner of eye.
3. Kids can spend hours looking at pictures on the wallpaper. Sometimes they have scaring indifference to their parents, and resist any changes.
4. Mental development of autistic children occurs at their inner, individual laws. They have a long time "stuck" in progress, treading water, and their moving forward goes with possible setbacks.
5. Autistics can not successfully socialize, especially among peers. They are interested in the stereotypical games alone, сan have extraordinary attachment to familiar surroundings.
6. Their speech is inflexible, "mechanistic" and "parrot-like", it often gives the impression of stamping. One of the clear characteristics of autism symptoms is the repetition of phrases heard somewhere without any connection to the real situation.
If you find out that your child have autism symptoms, consult a doctor immediately!
Autism is often considered as a spectrum of disorders, the most severe cases of which are manifested by the classic signs, such as delayed speech development, lack of communication, stereotypes, developed at an early age. In 75% of cases autism symptoms are accompanied by mental retardation. The opposite end of the spectrum represented by Asperger syndrome, high functioning autism and atypical autism.
Atypical Autism Symptoms
Synonyms: mild mental retardation with autistic features, a children's atypical psychosis.
Atypical autism is a type of common mental disorder of psychological development, which differs from childhood autism by either age of onset, or lack of at least one of three following diagnostic criteria: qualitative abnormalities in social interaction, communication, restricted repetitive behavior.
Symptoms of High Functioning Autism
Autism with a high level of functioning can not be clearly differentiated from Asperger syndrome. Nevertheless, Asperger Syndrome, in contrast to the high functioning autism symptoms, is characterized by neuropsychological profile with the presence of "strong" and "weak" cognitive functions, and difficulties in non-verbal learning. Projective tests have shown that individuals with Aspergers have a rich inner life, more complex, subtle fantasy. They are more focused on internal experiences than people with autism symptoms, even with a high level of functioning. Recently, a study of pedantic speech in both groups of patients (with Asperger's and autism symptoms) has shown that it is more common in Asperger syndrome, which may help in differentiating of these disorders.
Rett syndrome
Rett syndrome and disintegrative disorder are similar to autism symptoms, but they are likely to differ from autism in pathogenetic properties. Rett syndrome was first described by Andreas Rett in 1966 as a neurological disorder that primarily affects girls. In this genetically determined disease child is developing normally before age of 6-18 months, but subsequently there become severe mental retardation, inability to perform purposeful hand movements. They are replaced by stereotyped movements like rubbing of hands, shaking by the trunk and limbs, unsteady slow gait, hyperventilation, apnea, seizures (80% of cases), teeth grinding, loss of activity.
In contrast to autism symptoms, Rett syndrome in the first months of life is usually characterized by normal social development, the child appropriately interacts with others, clings to parents.
Videos about Autism Symptoms
Is there any Treatment for Kids with Autism Symptoms?
Autistic children need a kind of "man-prompter" who would translate their actions in a simple, understandable language, and, on the contrary, explain the meaning of actions of other people to kids with autism symptoms.
Treatment of autism requires coordination and the successful interaction of parents, educators, psychologists and psychiatrists. They should follow the treatment regime, a clear routine. Of course, the children must take medication and sedatives, but the therapy of constant communication is particularly important. It helps to develop in child independence, autonomy and social adaptation skills.
Autism can not be cured completely, but improvements can be achieved, so never pause lessons with your child: even on weekends, holidays or summer.
• The main thing is to consult a child psychiatrist as soon as possible, if you detected any autism symptoms. There are many techniques that allow the child to adapt to normal life.
• Remember, without your support and care the baby won't get out of the state of autism.
• Your home must have a friendly, quiet environment, a sense of security and comfort.
• Communicating with an autistic child, be prepared to talk without the mutual interest on his part for long. Start to fantasize, make the child to invent a story in which he is the main character.
• It is very important play a lot with this kid. Experts in the field of brain research revealed that the game promotes the development of the left hemisphere, which is responsible for memory, language, abstract thinking.
• In the struggle with fears most important is their warning. Tell your child what can happen in a particular case. Invent some scenes from real life: going to the circus, walking in the park. Prepare two types of pictures: with images of household items, familiar to the child and their names. Combining the images together, you fix in the mind of the child image of the object with the word denoting it.
• A regular physical therapy sessions are very helpful. The child with autism symptoms must learn how to control the body.

Crystal Structure of Human NADPH-Cytochrome P450 (V492E mutant)
NADPH-cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase (CYPOR) is essential for electron donation to microsomal cytochrome P450-mediated monooxygenation in such diverse physiological processes as drug metabolism (approximately 85-90% of therapeutic drugs), steroid biosynthesis, and bioactive metabolite production (vitamin D and retinoic acid metabolites). Expressed by a single gene, CYPOR's role with these multiple redox partners renders it a model for understanding protein-protein interactions at the structural level. Polymorphisms in human CYPOR have been shown to lead to defects in bone development and steroidogenesis, resulting in sexual dimorphisms, the severity of which differs significantly depending on the degree of CYPOR impairment. The atomic structure of human CYPOR is presented, with structures of two naturally occurring missense mutations, V492E and R457H. The overall structures of these CYPOR variants are similar to wild type. However, in both variants, local disruption of H bonding and salt bridging, involving the FAD pyrophosphate moiety, leads to weaker FAD binding, unstable protein, and loss of catalytic activity, which can be rescued by cofactor addition. The modes of polypeptide unfolding in these two variants differ significantly, as revealed by limited trypsin digestion: V492E is less stable but unfolds locally and gradually, whereas R457H is more stable but unfolds globally. FAD addition to either variant prevents trypsin digestion, supporting the role of the cofactor in conferring stability to CYPOR structure. Thus, CYPOR dysfunction in patients harboring these particular mutations may possibly be prevented by riboflavin therapy in utero, if predicted prenatally, or rescued postnatally in less severe cases.

From MEDLINE®/PubMed®, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
[NCPR_HUMAN] Defects in POR are the cause of Antley-Bixler syndrome with genital anomalies and disordered steroidogenesis (ABS1) [MIM:201750]. A disease characterized by the association of Antley-Bixler syndrome with steroidogenesis defects and abnormal genitalia. Antley-Bixler syndrome is characterized by craniosynostosis, radiohumeral synostosis present from the perinatal period, midface hypoplasia, choanal stenosis or atresia, femoral bowing and multiple joint contractures.[1][2][3] Defects in POR are the cause of disordered steroidogenesis due to cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase deficiency (DISPORD) [MIM:613571]. A disorder resulting in a rare variant of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, with apparent combined P450C17 and P450C21 deficiency and accumulation of steroid metabolites. Affected girls are born with ambiguous genitalia, but their circulating androgens are low and virilization does not progress. Conversely, affected boys are sometimes born undermasculinized. Boys and girls can present with bone malformations, in some cases resembling the pattern seen in patients with Antley-Bixler syndrome.[4][5]
[NCPR_HUMAN] This enzyme is required for electron transfer from NADP to cytochrome P450 in microsomes. It can also provide electron transfer to heme oxygenase and cytochrome B5.

Three late-breaking studies presented during the American Society of Nephrology's Annual Kidney Week provide new information on drugs being tested in patients with diabetes or kidney disease.
Hans-Henrik Parving, MD (University of Copenhagen, in Denmark) and his colleagues investigated whether the drug aliskiren might improve the prognosis of patients with type 2 diabetes who are at high risk for developing heart and kidney problems. The randomized double-blind ALTITUDE trial included 8561 individuals who received aliskiren (300 mg once daily) or placebo on top of a drug that blocks the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), a complex hormone system that regulates blood pressure and fluid balance. (Drugs that target the RAAS have limited effectiveness in part due to feedback responses, such as compensatory increases in an enzyme called renin. Aliskiren is a direct renin inhibitor and may help overcome these shortcomings because it suppresses the reactive rise in renin activity stimulated by other RAAS blockers.) After an average follow-up of 32.9 months:
"The trial does not support administration of aliskiren on top of standard therapy with RAAS blockade in type 2 diabetic patients at high risk for cardiovascular and renal events, and may even be harmful," the authors concluded.
Another team led by Vicente Torres, MD, PhD (Mayo Clinic) tested the potential of a vasopressin V2 receptor antagonist (tolvaptan) to inhibit cyst growth and slow kidney function decline in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). This condition causes kidney cysts often associated with pain, hypertension, and kidney failure. The phase 3, multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 3-year trial included 1445 ADPKD patients who were randomized 2:1 to split dose tolvaptan (45/15, 60/30 or 90/30 mg daily as tolerated) or placebo.
"Tolvaptan demonstrated clinically meaningful disease-specific benefits for ADPKD patients which may be clinically meaningful," said Dr. Torres. While the trial findings are encouraging, tolvaptan has not yet been approved for this indication.
A third trial, called EVOLVE, was designed to test the hypothesis that treatment with cinacalcet compared with placebo reduces the risk of premature death or non-fatal heart-related events among dialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism. (Secondary hyperparathyroidism, when the parathyroid gland produces excess amounts of parathyroid hormone, arises in most patients with chronic kidney disease as their disease progresses. It can lead to a number of complications, including cardiovascular problems.) Results from analyses using multivariable adjustment and censoring data 6 months after patients stopped taking the drug will be presented, along with safety data, by Glenn Chertow, MD (Stanford University School of Medicine).

Computer-mediated communication
Public goods experiment
- abstract
In this paper, we study a voluntary contribution mechanism with one-way communication. The relevance of one person's words is assessed by assigning exogenously the role of the "communicator" to one group member. Contrary to the view that the mutual exchange of promises is necessary for the cooperation-enhancing effect of communication, we ï¬nd that, compared to a standard voluntary contribution mechanism with no communication, one-way communication signiï¬cantly increases contributions and renders them stable over time. Moreover, the positive effects of one-way communication persist even when communication is one-shot.

Statistics on the percentage of the population that are homosexual and lesbian
by Matt Slick
- 3.8% of Americans are gay
- "The Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law, a sexual orientation law and public policy think tank, estimates that 9 million (about 3.8%) of Americans identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender (2011)." (gaylife.about.com/od/comingout/a/population.htm)
- 1.8% of Americans are bisexual
- "The institute also found that bisexuals make up 1.8% of the population, while 1.7% are gay or lesbian. Transgender adults make up 0.3% of the population." (gaylife.about.com/od/comingout/a/population.htm)
- 1% of American Households
- "The 2000 U.S. Census Bureau found that homosexual couples constitute less than 1% of American households." (gallup.com/poll/6961/what-percentage-population-gay.aspx)
- 3%-8% are gay and lesbian
- The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force estimates three to eight percent of both sexes.(gallup.com/poll/6961/what-percentage-population-gay.aspx)
- "While the percentage of women and men aged 18-44 years who reported they were either heterosexual or homosexual was similar (94% of women and 96% of men said they were heterosexual while 1.1% of women and 1.7% of men said they were homosexual or gay), the percentage of women who reported they were bisexual was more than 3 times as high as men (3.5% of women vs. 1.1% of men)." (www.hhs.gov/opa/pdfs/r-and-e-update-spring-2011.pdf, p. 5.)
- 1.2% of Australians are gay
- "Number of homosexuals in Australia Nationwide statistics--1.2% of adults identify as homosexual or lesbian. * 1.6% of adult men identified as homosexual and 0.8% of women as lesbian. * 1.4% of women and 0.9% of men said they were bisexual. Source: The 2003 'Sex in Australia' survey of 20,000 people, with a special weighting to Sydney's homosexual centre. Conducted by the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health & Society(ARCSHS) at La Trobe University. Published in Australian & NZ Journal of Public Health, Vol 27 No 2 2003 ISSN 1326 0200." (saltshakers.org.au/issues/homosexuality/199-statistics-homosexuality)
- 1.5% of the adult population are gay and bisexual
- "The report by the Office of National Statistics placed Britain's gay and bisexual community at 1.5% of the adult population, almost 750,000. Six years before, however, ministers had estimated the figure at almost 3.5 million." (guardian.co.uk/society/2010/sep/26/gay-britain-national-survey-statistics)
- 1% of Canadians are gay
- "Among Canadians aged 18 to 59, 1.0% reported that they consider themselves to be homosexual and 0.7% considered themselves bisexual. About 1.3% of men considered themselves homosexual, about twice the proportion of 0.7% among women. However, 0.9% of women reported being bisexual, slightly higher than the proportion of 0.6% among men. " (statcan.gc.ca/daily-quotidien/040615/dq040615b-eng.htm)
- Same Sex Marriages 3%:
- "For the first six months after gay marriage was legalized in the Netherlands, same-sex marriages made up 3.6% of the total number of marriages. The numbers have steadily dropped since then to around 3%, with 2,500 gay couples marrying in 2001, 1,800 in 2002, 1,200 in 2004, and 1,100 in 2005." (gaymarriage.lifetips.com/cat/64319/gay-marriage-facts-statistics/index.html)
The Kinsey Report--10% of Americans Homosexual
- "In his 1948 book, Sexual Behavior in the Human Male, Alfred Kinsey shocked the world by announcing that 10% of the male population are gay." (gallup.com/poll/6961/what-percentage-population-gay.aspx)
- "Prof Kinsey interviewed thousands of men and women in the United States between 1938 and 1952 and claimed that 13 per cent of the men, and 7 per cent of the women were "almost exclusively" homosexual. However, his methods have subsequently been cast into doubt. Professor Julia Ericksen, from Temple University in America, warned that Prof Kinsey's methods could not be used to derive an indication as to the behaviour of the population as a whole." (christian.org.uk/news/how-true-are-the-stats-on-uk-homosexual-numbers/)
- "The truth is that this ten percent statistic comes from a report published more than 40 years ago--the famous 1948 study led by William Kinsey.6 The only problem with this report is that its findings were terribly flawed by the methodology used to collect the supposedly representative sample of the U.S. population. Why were his findings flawed? For several reasons, first and foremost being that approximately 25 percent of the 5,300 individuals Kinsey studied were prison inmates, "who by the nature of their confinement, couldn't have heterosexual intercourse." In addition, 44 percent of these inmates had had homosexual experiences while in prison. This was hardly a representative sample of the American population."

Rarely at Hogwarts did students get to choose their own project partners. In fact, professors seemed to get a sick pleasure out of pairing students up with their worst enemies or secret loves with their God-like omniscient knowledge of the school. So when Jenelle Clarke and Dom Weasley had the miraculous chance to choose ... they chose wrong.
