Katrina is my idol, says Wardah Khan
Bollywood's new face Wardah Khan, a British model of Saudi Arabian origin, has admitted that Katrina Kaif inspired her to come to the Hindi film Industry.
The UK-bred model, 24, recently signed her first film, 'Marksheet', featuring newbies Imran Zahid and Zoa Morani.
The film is set against the backdrop of the murky business of fake marksheets and educational certificates.
She plays a bold, sexy woman who returns to India from New York, only to fall in love.
"When I was modelling, it was all about beauty. But Bollywood is so fascinating because you need to think as well. It's not about beauty but you needs brains too," Gulf News quoted Khan as saying.
"It was a struggle to be in Mumbai and hunt for roles. But I am happy that it's paid off," said Khan, who grew up watching Bollywood musicals.
She considers UK-bred Bollywood A-lister Katrina Kaif as her role model.
"Katrina is an inspiration to so many girls like us. She works hard. I salute her," said Khan.
Khan, born to a Kashmiri mother and a Saudi fathe, said that she's happy to shrug off of her background to try her luck in the movies.
"I go to Saudi every three years. It's my home country. But this offer was too good to be true and I have my dad's full support," added Khan.

This publication is the "Improving Employment Opportunities in Pacific Island Developing Countries" is the first in the Small Island Developing States Series.
Important developments in container transportation by railway have taken place in many parts of the world, which show there is growing acceptance that railways have an important role to play in the national and international movement of goods. In recognition of the advantages of rail transport and growing demand for freight movement, many Governments have taken initiatives to promote container transportation by their railways.
This publication contains the Seminar Outcome and discussion papers prepared by experts of the Regional Seminar on Strengthening the Capacity of National Machineries for Gender Equality to Shape Migration Policies and Protect Migrant Women, held from 22-24 November 2006 in Bangkok.
It addresses the diverse experiences of female migrants in the ESCAP region, including the situations of migrant domestic workers, female international marriage migrants, migrants working in the garment industry and in disguised sex work.
Facilitation of international trade and transport involves many government agencies and authorities as well as public and private entities. Efficient and effective coordination among all relevant government agencies and authorities, and good collaboration between the public and private sectors are crucial for the formulation and implementation of facilitation measures.
The Review of Developments in Transport in Asia and the Pacific is a biennial publication of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP). This Special Issue of the Review reports on the outcomes of the ESCAP Ministerial Conference on Transport which was held in Busan, Republic of Korea, from 6-11 November 2006.
The Review of Developments in Transport in Asia and the Pacific is a biennial publication of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP). This year the Review is published in two complementary books: (a) Special issue on emerging issues and the Busan Ministerial Conference; and (b) Data and trends. This is the book on data and trends and provides updates for the transport-related data that has been published in the Review since 1993.
The travel and transport needs of women are different from those of men and women face different constraints. As such, access to transport technologies and services is gendered. However, traditional transport planning and policy interventions and project designs often fail to recognize the gender difference in travel and transport needs. The economic and social benefits of improving women`s access to travel and transport could be very high.
Asia-Pacific Population Journal Volume 22 was released in 2007.
The Asia-Pacific Development Journal (APDJ) is published twice a year by the Macroeconomic Policy and Development Division of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP).
The primary objective of the APDJ is to provide a platform for the exchange of knowledge, experience, ideas, information and data on all aspects of economic and social development issues and concerns facing the region and to stimulate policy debate and assist in the formulation of policy.
This paper assesses quantitatively the importance of living or working environmental constraints in people's activity limitations in day-to-day work/school and participation restrictions (such as joining in community activities). It applies an Ordered Logit Model to examine data from a WHO/ESCAP pilot study in 2005. Age, school year, and country specific factors are considered in this empirical analysis, with particular attention to gender.

When it comes to architecture, it's hard to know what he's talking about without lots of pictures and plans.
TV could actually be useful for a change.
ROBERT DALZIEL, a London-based architect, has always considered contemporary housing in Britain to be deficient. After years spent researching urban housing around the world with Sheila Qureshi-Cortale, a fellow architect, the pair collected their findings in a book. "A House in the City" evaluates the various examples, new and old, high-rise and low.
Mr Dalziel was then inspired to design Rational House, a new concept for low-rise, high-density and sustainable city homes in Britain. According to Mr Dalziel, building low and compact but to a high standard is a feasible alternative to large-scale residential blocks and towers, which alienate inhabitants and integrate poorly into the surrounding urban environment. The first prototype was completed in West London last year; a sustainable, adaptable and fast solution; the shell of the house is prefabricated off-site from recycled materials and can be raised in two weeks.
Mr Dalziel spoke with The Economist about his research and what makes successful urban housing.
Why is there a common misconception that high-density means multi-storey tower blocks?
It's a hangover from the post-war period when you had slum clearance. Do you know the Roehampton Estate in London? It's that famous Greater London Council-designed estate, modelled on Le Corbusier's concept building in Marseille known as Cité Radieuse. It's made up of a series of long, linear high-rise blocks set in gardens. When this was built people thought it was high-density, but actually the density of Roehampton is about 350 habitable rooms per hectare, a third of the density of a typical residential street or neighbourhood in central Paris, where seven-storey blocks predominate. This is so striking.
You include 54 case studies in the book, and conclude that high-rise developments have many disadvantages such as consuming too much energy, costing a lot to maintain and not being very flexible.
In the chapter called "density in urban form" we draw attention to the fact that you can get very high densities with low-rise housing by using some of the clever tricks that have been used in some of the archetypes. The disadvantages with high rises are many and it's not just about them being too costly to build and maintain. It's more about the fact that as soon as you go high you lose a sense of community because you detach yourself from the street. I think the general conclusion was that there is still a presumption in design that to get high densities you need to go very tall. The rather surprising conclusion was that you don't need to.
What are the most interesting examples that achieve low-rise, high-density design?
There is a very interesting housing type called the vecindades in Mexico City, where they build dwellings back-to-back and side-to-side with little courtyards and little mews streets. It's this idea that you don't need a back garden and a front garden but you can still stick with your two-storey format and produce a courtyard that gives you some private outdoor space.
Another very interesting type was the Lilong House, a Shanghai archetype. The Lilong house is different in that it tends to be organised in rows with quite narrow pedestrian lanes. So you put the backs of one set of houses next to the fronts of the next set of houses so you don't have problems of overlooking and privacy. You get to the lanes by going from a busy street to a secondary street to a lane and then sometimes to a courtyard. So you have quiet and privacy and tranquillity and, yet again, you've got very high density but you are right in the middle of things.
In the book you talk about the importance of the threshold. Can you explain more about this?
What we perceived is that there is this psychological need for detachment from the busy streets of the city. This is created in a variety of ways. One way you can create it is like the New York brownstones, which have a semi-basement and some steps up, so you have a gulf between the street and your house. That creates a detachment in a very effective way and it's also the way it's done in Georgian housing. But it means that the street becomes a very public space, it's not used in any private way. With something like the "potato rows" houses in Copenhagen [terraced houses on narrow streets, filled with picnic tables, trees and benches that become shared spaces] the street is quiet enough that you don't have to create this physical detachment from the street. And then people start to take over the street as part of their private space.
The problem with most modern housing is that either it doesn't create any detachment at all—it's just doors on to the street—or alternatively it's tall residential blocks which detach you from the street but then you have to get into a lift, and walk along several corridors before you reach your front door. So you've got all this weird anonymous space, which is neither public nor private.
This is what you call "intermediate space" in the book.
Yes, and it's universally disliked. What we found is that the people we interviewed living in high-rises all said without exception that it was a temporary situation, it was convenient and the view was good but what they really wanted was to get a place closer to the ground.
So individual access and a front door are really important?
Ideally. But if it's a larger construction or house, then an element of subdivision, providing you are not going up beyond four or five stories, is inevitable. But at least you have a connection to the street which is between you and a few other family groupings, and you are not going through all these long corridors and anonymous staircases, lifts and so on.
Which housing types work best for bringing in light?
The cleverest way is the oriental way, a courtyard. It's extraordinary the amount of light you get if you expose the sky. You don't need to have a long view; you just need to expose the sky to a private area.
What other housing types are innovative or interesting?
There is something called Baugruppen, a new initiative in Berlin where a group of middle-class people get together and hire an architect, buy a site and build for themselves, cutting out the developer profit. This is a very interesting idea. It's not uncommon in Austria and Germany and there's a new government initiative in Britain called the Community Right to Build where the government is trying to encourage this to happen. It's such a brilliant way of funding and building high-quality housing at low cost.

Can't say I'm very impressed with any of his examples - one presumes private cars will still be part of the package? We're never going to solve our e/v problems without providing a solution where people can live, work, and play within a short walk and happily dispense with privately-owned cars. I am not saying cars should be totally eliminated but they should be hired as and when needed and used for pleasure purposes only, not for commuting, shopping, school-run, etc. When is someone going to address that?
When i did planning they said it was light restrictions that resulted in the UK highrise 60s social housing not having a high desnisty as had to leave such large gaps between building which also resulted in large communical spaces that lack a sense of ownenership they have since fenced the large spaces below many high rise social housing.
It's a pity the author didn't make clear that the Mexican vecindades are in fact slums. There's a clue in the phrase back to back and courtyard. He is proposing a return to the grossly overcrowded living conditions of Victorian London and I doubt it will be he and his family living in them.
By comparison the high rise estates of the 60s and 70s built to Parker Morris standards are like paradise with light and air.
I'm not about to put these ideas down, but very similar ones come to light about once every generation. The trouble is, nobody in the West is building high-density, low-rise in quantities large enough to measure the smaller successes or failures, so the next round of development can benefit. Every time there is a new development of this type, it seems they are reinventing the wheel.
instead of high-rise low-rise high density construction is compatible in-terms of energy n environment except design or model issues are present.but a fact remains present a wide house has no comparison if made with perfection,apart form that high rise buildings are more suitable for office usage........

how to open image file in c
i want to store a graphic file by taking each and every pixel into a file
and then i want to retrieve it when i need moreover i need to open .gif or .jpg atleast .bmp file using c program
Hi Vijay,
In order to store an image u need to understand the format of file like .gif, .jpg etc.
You can get every pixel and store into a file and also retrieve and use it as per your choice by using graphic commands in C language.Commands like getpixel(),sertpixel(),.. are there to code your requirment.These commands take pixel from worldview an dmap it to viewport and commands are there to do viceversa also.
To have a good reading of these commands and code your requirment have a reading of the book
Graphics in C - By Vijay Mukhi's - BPB Publications
Also for C++ you have C++ and Graphics - The Future of C - Vijay Mukhi's - BPB Publications
This gives a detailed explanation of syntax of all graphic commands in C

How the iPhone 5 (left) compares to the iPhone 4S: It's an ounce lighter and a few millimeters thinner. | Nati Harnik~AP
Related Stories
The iPhone 5 is Apple's fifth update to the iPhone. We all know the drill by now. Apple has added considerably more power to an already great device, while keeping the price the same and renewing the iPhone's credentials as the most physically alluring phone on the market.
Performance seems to be about double that of the iPhone 4S, based on benchmarks and actual real-world operations. Those benchmarks aren't that much higher than the results I get from top-class Android phones. But while Android mostly uses its CPU to win benchmark tests, iOS actually gives you desktop-grade apps that fully exploit the iPhone 5's powerhouse processor.
The iPhone finally joins the rest of the smartphone world in getting true 4G LTE wireless broadband. When used as a wireless access point, the iPhone 5 can deliver faster Internet to your laptop than your home service.
Physically, it's a charmer. It's only about an ounce lighter than the 4S and a few millimeters thinner, but each marks a 20 percent slim-down and it's immediately apparent. It feels great in your hand, and the new display looks terrific. The contrast is super-sharp and the colors are agile and accurate; a movie on the iPhone 5 looks way better than it does on another phone with "true" HD.
The screen is beautiful. That's beyond debate. The size is going to be a mite controversial, I reckon. Apple increased the size of the iPhone's display by lengthening it instead of enlarging both dimensions. So unlike many of the "phablets" available from other makers, the iPhone is still a manageable, narrow phone that fits into most pockets, and it's easier to operate one-handed.
But there are equally valid advantages to making a wider phone. Most of the wins of a big phone are in screen width. The keyboard is larger and easier to operate, and books and Web pages and messages are easier read thanks to the wider margins.
And for all of the ads promising the ease of one-handed operation, I found myself regularly shifting the iPhone 5 in my hand to reach the top margins of the screen. It's certainly easier to operate one-handed than the Samsung Galaxy S III, but still, its not as easy to use as an iPhone 4S.
For this and only this reason, I recommend that an existing iPhone 4 or 3GS user try out an iPhone 5 at an Apple Store instead of ordering one blind.
And if you don't want a bigger phone, that's fine, too. The price drop on the iPhone 4S is just as big a piece of news as the iPhone 5. At $99, it's hands-down the greatest value in smartphones today.
The iPhone 5 is being released into a new environment. This the first time I haven't said, "This is the right upgrade for every iPhone owner" and issued a blanket recommendation. It's also the first year I've seen Android phones that could be as compelling to a certain kind of user as the iPhone. If you use your phone a little like a tablet, well, devices like the Google Nexus or the Samsung Galaxy S III are like little tablets. And with Android 4.1, Google has finally gotten its act together.
There's one element of the iPhone that no Android maker can duplicate, though: the iPhone's "umami." There is a savoriness about that device that is uniquely Apple's. And like actual flavor, it's something that can never be described — only experienced.

There are roughly 40,000 global search queries every second. 40,000 search queries every second equates to roughly 3.5 billion global search queries per day. 3.5 billion search queries per day translates to roughly 1.2 trillion global search queries per year. As of the writing of this article 3:38 EST on 11/25/14, there have been 2.618 billion searches today.
Search is critical to online life. Like blood flowing in your veins, search is the life force of the Internet. And yet, no one ever tells you how to search. There are tips and tricks you can use to make your search queries more effective, more targeted. Below are some of those search tips.

15 Critical SEO Terms
When you are new to any field, part of playing catch-up is learning the lexicon. Like any other field, SEO -Search Engine Optimization - is full of terminology which might seem like another language yet will prove critical to your ability to carry out everyday tasks of the professional SEO.
With this said, here is a list of 15 Critical SEO Terms which you need to know.
Android Application Battle: Advanced App Killer vs. Task Manager
I suspect every Android users has, at least once, downloaded the Advanced App Killer. I suspect in an effort to free up RAM and to have more free operational memory allowing the device to run smoother, the idea of the Advanced App Killer appeals to many users. With over 50 million downloads, the Advanced App Killer ranks among the most downloaded applications currently available in the Google Play Store.
Popularity aside, a question needs to be asked: does the Advanced App Killer actually work? When compared to the internal task manager installed in every Android device, is the Advanced App Killer a more efficient avenue to free up memory and RAM?
Is the Advanced App Killer when compared to every Android Task Manager, worth downloading?
Why Open Source Matters: Musings from All Things Open 2014
A few months back I wrote a post titled "Why Open Source Matters: Musings from OSCON 2014". The post covered five reasons why Open Source matters. Those reasons were/are:
- Code, Glitches and Open Source Security
- Open Source Software
- GitHub
- The Stringent Control of Proprietary Software
- The Endless Ability to Test, Play and Alter
While those reasons still ring true, I want to use this space to center in on another topic speaking to why Open Source and OSS matters more than ever: project management and time constraints.
Risk Management Versus Vulnerability Analysis
Vulnerability Analysis is deceptively easy. Security Red Teaming requires more than that.
How the Internet Works: The Deep Web
The Deep Web. The Deepnet. The Invisible Web. The Hidden Web.
Maybe you have heard of the Deep Web. Maybe you even know how to access the Deep Web.
Chances are though, you've never heard of the Deep Web and you have no idea how to access it. The Deep Web sounds mysterious, elusive and somewhat dangerous. By all accounts, it is all these things.
So, what is the deep web? How does the deep web work? How do you access it?
In this installment of "How the Internet Works", we tackle the mysterious Deepnet.
How the Internet Works: A Call for Personal Security
It's very easy, after reading "The Snappening" Snapchat security breach news, to determine fault lies with users. It would be very easy and convenient to blame the leak not on the leakers, but on the users who sent sexually explicit materials to friends, lovers and strangers. This conclusion is easy to draw yet, it only skims the surface of the true issue at hand.
Whatever you think of the materials leaked, the larger issue at play in "The Snappening" is how the public relates to, understands and uses public Internet architectures. If anything, "The Snappening" should serve as a beacon call for greater Internet security practice enlightenment.
In this version of "How the Internet Works" we cover public Cloud architectures and the need for increased Internet security practices learning.
Mobile Malware and Fake Apps: Hong Kong, China and The New York Times
For the past week or so, Hong Kong has erupted with peaceful demonstrations advocating for the ousting of the Chinese premiere and the right to peacefully and openly elect his replacement. While the Chinese premiere, Xi Jinping, looks to be going nowhere one thing has become clear - the mobile devices and Internet connections which helped to grow the nightly demonstrations are quietly suffering an inward meta problem - malware, viruses and fake applications.
As mobile platforms become more prominent and are used more robustly to organize, carry out financial transactions and conduct daily personal business, the time has come to address mobile malware and fake applications.

They're definitely bright. Polka dots must come around in fashion. I'm helping with the costumes for the musical at the high school -- Kiss Me Kate. The time period is 1948, and the costume director said the fashions were similar to the 1980s, including polka dots. Then she named things, like argyle sweaters, that are coming back into fashion now. Guess that includes polka dots too.

Ashraf's favorite Memory Manager CleanMem v.1.5.0 is available here.
Lots of controversy about Memory Managers out there, but based on several readings, IMH, this one is legit. I'm not much of a geek, but from what I can see it works.
This version adds a logging feature so you can actually see what it's doing.
Like others have said, the developer isn't the best at GUI – well, actually there isn't one! But it's pretty easy to figure it out.
Here's an instructional video and some good info about CleanMem.
The developer's CleanMem Home Page gives a thorough explanation of how and why it works.

Chile Rejoices as Miners Taste Freedom
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 10-13-2010 - 9:45am
At last some of the miners are rescued!!!!
SAN JOSÉ MINE, Chile — With anxious anticipation increasingly yielding to exuberant celebration, the haggard men trapped under a half-mile of rock for more than two months have been emerging to the arms of their families and an electrified nation.
Some 10 hours into the final phase of the rescue operation, the 11th miner stepped from the escape capsule to rapturous cheers. The Chilean president, Sebastián Piñera, was on hand to embrace the earliest arrivals in their first electrifying moments of freedom. On Wednesday morning, he moved to the makeshift hospital, chatting like a triumphant father with ever-growing group of rescued men.
The Bolivian president, Evo Morales, joined him to welcome the sole Bolivian miner, Carlos Mamani.
After the first 10 men were pulled up, Health Minister Jaime Mañalich said the next men to be raised would include those in a more "precarious" health condition.
He also said that all 33 miners might be lifted from the mine in less time than the original forecast of two days.
Cameras inside the mine showed the remaining miners sending off the next evacuee with cheers, and another positioned on the top of the capsule carried images of a seemingly smooth shaft slipping by the taut metal cable.
The race to save the miners has thrust Chile into a spotlight it has often sought but rarely experienced. While lauded for its economic management and austerity, the nation has often found the world's attention trained more on its human rights violations and natural disasters than on uplifting moments.
Still, the perseverance of the miners, trapped so far underground in a lightless, dank space, has transfixed the globe with a universal story of human struggle and the enormously complex operation to rescue them.
Mr. Piñera, a billionaire businessman who is Latin America's most conservative leader, staked his presidency on the effort. It has involved untold millions of dollars, specialists from NASA and drilling experts from a dozen or so countries. Some here at the mine have compared the rescue effort to the Apollo 13 space mission, for the emotional tension it has caused and the expectation of a collective sigh of relief at the end.
In the early minutes of Wednesday at the mine site (late Tuesday night Eastern time), the first miner was pulled through the narrow, twisting escape shaft in the specially designed capsule called the Phoenix, paving the way to the end of a drama that has riveted the world for two months. The 33 trapped miners, caught in a collapse on Aug. 5, spent 17 days in isolation, rationing their meager supplies and organizing themselves before being located by drillers on Aug. 22.
They had to withstand nearly two more months of waiting for this day. Their discipline and collaboration held firm, and they worked doggedly to help the rescue effort themselves, with a determination and spirit that captivated and inspired their nation.
The first miner, Florencia Ávalos, 31, made it to the surface shortly after midnight, to the music of blaring celebratory horns. With a look of sturdy calm, he embraced his weeping child and other family members, his nation's president and the workers around him before being taken away on a stretcher, lifting his thumb triumphantly.
As each subsequent miner emerged alive and smiling, the world seemed to celebrate, but also to hold its collective breath that all 33 would make it out as effortlessly as the first ones.
The second miner to reach the surface, Mario Sepúlveda, was exuberant as he left the capsule, hugging family members and officials. He embraced Mr. Piñera three times and presented people with gifts: rocks from the mine. Then he led the crowd in a cheer. "Chi, Chi, Chi, le, le, le," they shouted. "Miners of Chile," a refrain echoed as subsequent miners reached the surface.
Flanked by his family at a news conference afterward, Mr. Sepúlveda acknowledged the stress of spending 69 days underground.
"I've been near God, but I've also been near the devil," he said through a translator. "God won."
A global audience watched nonstop coverage on computers, television sets and even cellphones. Deep in the mine, the remaining miners waited for their turn, along with a rescue worker who descended to their underground haven in the capsule, which was painted with the red, white and blue of the Chilean flag.
Tuesday was a day of great excitement and last-minute delays. As Mr. Piñera waited anxiously near the rescue hole, the families of the miners and more than 1,300 journalists gathered around plasma televisions set up at the makeshift tent city near the mine, which vibrated with a carnival-like atmosphere as the rescue drew near. At one point, Mr. Piñera mingled with the families and even broke into song with them.
"We hope that with the help of God this epic will end in a happy way," Mr. Piñera said before the rescue began.
Despite high expectations, officials here warned that the operation was still in a very precarious phase. The rescue hole is barely wider than the capsule that will ride inside it, shuttling the men about 2,000 feet to the surface, one at a time. Complicating matters, the hole is not perfectly straight, raising fears that the capsule could snag on the long trip.
The decision by Mr. Piñera, Chile's first right-wing leader in 20 years, to stake his young presidency on an unbridled push to rescue the miners was an extraordinary political calculation. But it has paid big dividends, bolstering his popularity at home and propelling him onto an international stage often dominated by other large personalities in the region.
After the Aug. 5 cave-in trapped the miners, their fate was uncertain at best. Advisers to Mr. Piñera counseled him not to raise expectations that the men could be found alive. Laurence Golborne, the mining minister, said publicly that their chances of having survived were slim, comments that bothered many Chileans.
But Mr. Piñera, who was in Ecuador when the news of the mine disaster broke, argued differently. "I had a strong conviction, very deep inside of me, that they were alive, and that was a strong support for my actions," he said in an interview in late August.
He set in motion an intense rescue effort, sparing no expense. Workers drilled a skinny borehole, and on Aug. 22 a drilling hammer came up with red paint. Wrapped around it with rubber bands were two notes: a love letter from Mario Gómez, the oldest miner of the group, to his wife, and another in red ink. "We are well in the refuge the 33," it read.
Suddenly the name of the makeshift vigil at the mine — Camp Hope — took on new meaning. Mr. Piñera flew here right after his father-in-law's wake to celebrate with the miners' families.
But the Chileans were in uncharted territory. To their knowledge, no one had tried a rescue so far underground. Keeping the miners alive and in good spirits, much less getting them out, would be an enormous challenge.
Doctors from NASA and Chilean Navy officers with experience in submarines were consulted on the strains of prolonged confinement. The miners had lost considerable weight and were living off emergency rations. Some, like Mr. Gómez, who had a lung condition, struggled with the high humidity in the mine.
Medical officials consulted frequently with the miners over a modified telephone dropped down through the skinny borehole. Slowly, they nursed the men back to health. Health Minister Jaime Mañalich enlisted Yonny Barrios, a miner who had once taken a first aid course, to administer vaccines and medicines, and to take blood and urine samples. All the medications traveled down through the plastic tubes sent through the boreholes.
The tubes, called "palomas" here, became the miners' lifeline. Over the many weeks, officials on the surface used them to send letters from loved ones, food and liquids, even a small video projection system that the miners used to watch recorded movies and live soccer matches on a television feed that was piped down.
The miners were put on a diet to keep their weight down and worked with a trainer to keep fit with exercise. One miner, a fitness buff, ran about six miles a day through the winding shafts of the mine.
In recent weeks, Alejandro Pino, the regional manager of an insurance company for work-related accidents, has given the miners media training on how to speak and express themselves, even sending a rolled-up copy of his guidebook through the borehole.
"I tried to prepare them to handle journalists' most intimate questions," Mr. Pino said last week.
Alberto Iturra, a psychologist who worked with the miners, talked to them, sometimes several times a day, to sort through their frustrations and depression. After first sending down nicotine patches, officials later sent down cigarettes to the miners, most of whom were smokers, family members said. Still, Dr. Iturra said that doctors never ended up sending down medication for depression.

DHCP Server for Windows 7
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server offers information about IP address, subnet mask and default gateway to the clients. DHCP server for Windows 7 has been enhanced in many areas like support for SSID caching, optimization for obtaining IP address and others.
Suppose, your Windows 7 computer is connected to an intranet having multiple subnets and the Internet, but having a default gateway for both adapters. In this situation, you can either communicate with all computers on the intranet or Internet, but not with both of them. In order to solve this problem, you have to configure a default gateway with the adapter connected to the Internet. This is where the role of DHCP server comes into play.
In case, you want to configure a default gateway on Windows 7 PC follow the procedure:
STEP 1: Open Network Connections by clicking the Start button, and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type adapter, and then, under Network and Sharing Center, click View network connections.
STEP 2: Right-click the network adapter that you want to configure a default gateway for, and then click Properties. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
STEP 3: Click the Networking tab.
STEP 4: Under "This connection uses the following items", click either Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) or Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6), and then click Properties.
STEP 5: In the dialog box that appears, select either "Obtain an IP address automatically" or "Use the following IP address".
a) If you configure the network adapter to obtain an IP address automatically, the default gateway is assigned by the DHCP server.
b) If you manually specify an IP address configuration, the default gateway is the IP address in the Default gateway box on the General tab
After completing this procedure, you can configure a default gateway on your Windows 7 PC.

.- Almost two months after radical surgery for bladder and ureter cancer, Cardinal Francis George says he's well on his way to recovery, thanks to the power of prayer.
The 69-year-old cardinal-archbishop of Chicago shared with the Sun-Times how his battle with cancer has impacted his faith.
The cardinal assured the paper that he is in good health, despite having lost 10 pounds. He is feeling much better and does not experience any pain.
"My biggest problem is from time to time overcoming weakness," he told the newspaper, adding that this is usual in times of convalescence.
The cardinal said it was a humbling experience to have so many people praying for him. "To have so many people who believe in God remembering you before the Lord, people that you've met maybe once or twice, who you barely met when they saw you, or not at all -- it tells you a little bit about that network of love that unites a bishop and his people that you can lose track of, because normally you're dealing with complaints and you're bound up with all kinds of administrative details," he was quoted as saying. "And that has changed my sense of priorities."
The cardinal said he had felt a few times during the medical intervention the closeness of the Lord and the angels as people prayed and even close to death. "At those moments, that presence becomes more palpable and that veil between this world and the next becomes very thin," he said. He said he faced the possibility of death with serenity and openness to the will of God.
The cardinal described his experience of others praying for him as "a comforting feeling." He said he felt connected to those people who prayed for him.
"I could feel that their concern for me was very much a part of my life, and they were bringing me before the Lord," he said. "I was never alone."

Even after George W. Bush endorsed Mitt Romney in Washington today, Mitt Romney just can't bring himself to say the words: George Bush, George W. Bush or President Bush preferring to call the former Republican President as: "President Obama's Predecessor".
In St. Petersburg Florida today Romney said: " Obama is critical of his predecessor for the debts his predecessor put in place" he used the word Predecessor five times in his speech.
Romney's camp is not handling the George W. Bush endorsement very well, preferring to keep it under wraps and ignoring the okay by George W. Bush who's name has become nuclear to the GOP party in this election. Romney today tried to ignore the endorsement of his own predecessor, George Bush.
It leaves the Democrats wide open to attack the Republicans for the failed mistaken Presidency, of George W. Bush, not that Americans can easily forget what he did to the country any time soon.
The George Bush Presidency annihilated any chance John McCain had in 2008 and still the Romney camp has attempted to make a distinction between himself and George W. Bush. However, Romney's aides were careful not to enlist the help of the former GOP President for fear of guilt by association of the failures of the republican years.
Romney has distinguished himself from Bush, by not stating his position on continuing the presence of troops in Afghanistan and has come out on a possible war with Iran a country that George Bush ignored for eight years.
Still, the Romney-Bush problem exists even today, try as they might Republicans have to face the fact that another Republican President is not what the country can accept. Not again.

Built by A. Berezhnyak's "Raduga" engineering group for Tu-22 and Tu-22M aircraft, the Kh-22 can also be deployed on modified Tu-95K-22 aircraft. During experimental tests conducted from the late nineteen fifties to the early nineteen sixties the Kh-22B version had reached a speed of Mach 6 and an altitude of about 70 km. Since 1974, after the death of Alexander Berezhnyak, the Raduga chief engineer became Igor Seleznyev. The Kh-22 missile comes in three variants: 1. Kh-22N with a nuclear warhead and inertial guidance; 2. Kh-22M with a conventional load for use against ships and with an active-radar operating during the final flight stage; 3. Kh-22MP for breaking through enemy air defenses (overcoming enemy radar).
The Raduga Kh-22 (NATO reporting name AS-4 'Kitchen') is a large, long-range anti-ship missile developed by the Soviet Union. It was intended for use against US Navy aircraft carriers and carrier battle groups, typically with a nuclear warhead.
The Kh-22 was developed from the late 1950s
out of the official Soviet view that missiles were the wave of the
future, and that manned bombers were obsolete. Faced with the threat
that their bomber forces would be dismantled, Soviet VVS and AV-MF commanders set about to convert their heavy bombers as raketonosets, missile carriers. The Kh-22 (Complex 22) weapon was developed by the Raduga design bureau and used to arm the Tupolev Tu-22. The first service-ready missiles were ready in 1962.
The Kh-22 used an Isayev liquid-fuel rocket engine, fueled with hydrazine and IRFNA (inhibited red fuming nitric acid), giving it a maximum speed of nearly Mach 2
and a range of up to 400 km (250 miles). It could be used in either
high-altitude or low-altitude modes. In high-altitude mode it climbed
to an altitude of 27,000 m (88,580 ft) and made a high-speed dive into
the target, with a terminal speed of about Mach 4. In low-altitude
mode, it climbed to 12,000 m (39,370 ft) and made a shallow dive at
about Mach 1.2, making the final approach at an altitude over under 500
m (1,640 ft). Guidance was by gyro-stabilized autopilot, with a radio
altimeter. Two initial versions were built, the Kh-22A with a large conventional warhead and the Kh-22N, with a 350-kiloton nuclear warhead. In the mid-1960s this was supplemented by the Kh-22P, an anti-radiation missile for the destruction of radar installations. In the 1970s the Kh-22 was upgraded to Kh-22M and Kh-22MA standard, with new attack profiles, somewhat longer range, and a datalink
allowing mid-course updates. Even so, it was largely obsolete, although
it lingered in Soviet service for many years. It was carried by the Tu-22K, Tu-22M, and Tu-95K-22.

Chinese Telecoms on West's Blacklist
TAIPEI ( TheStreet) -- How 1950s is this?
The United States says China's two top telecom firms pose a security risk to America. Members of Congress fear the huge companies might spy for the Chinese government if allowed to do work on U.S. soil.
Last week the U.S. House Intelligence Committee recommended barring China's Huawei Technology and ZTE from contracts or mergers in the United States. A few days later, Canada cited a national security exemption that could block the same from local communications system work. Australia had said in March it would bar Huawei from bidding for work on the country's broadband.
The two Chinese companies suspected of uncomfortably close ties to the Communist regime or its military accuse their Western conspiracy theorists of thinking in the past, i.e. the Cold War, and being full of it today.But any ban, regardless of its logic, leaves a void. The elimination of Huawei or ZTE from Western markets invites debate about which telecom firms, including a couple in China that weren't blacklisted, might get the jobs. Lingering on the suspected fellow travellers for a minute, actual business impacts on Huawei and ZTE should be minimal as the two depend now on fat business from runaway domestic infrastructure growth and steady network deals in emerging markets. Huawei, with its telecom work already used in 140 countries, says it serves more than a third of the world's population and saw 2011 sales revenue of 203.9 billion yuan. ZTE also claims deals in 140 countries, plus the rank of China's largest listed telecoms equipment company. Slaps against them in the West sting mainly for reputation reasons, as both had been hoping to scale into the developed world. No company, especially publicly traded Chinese ones with international vision, wants to be seen serving home-court political interests. Huawei says the House committee "failed to provide clear information or evidence" and charges its report, written over 11 months, with supporting a predetermined outcome. "The report released by the Committee...employs many rumors and speculations to prove non-existent accusations," Huawei charges on its Web site.

Valuable Words
Here are my top three ways to convey encouragement without being phony or looking condescending. These are not out of a Dale Carnegie course or anything; it is just what has worked for me over the years.
When in conversation, if you build your point off another person's thought, always credit that person before you make your point.
Example: "You know Tom is right, we don't need to verify the contractor's insurance because it is already sworn to in the specification, but I think it would be wise to secure his insurance certificate anyway to have it available in the file, should the question ever arise."
Openly ask the question if others agree, as you are building your logic and assembling your argument.
Example: "So stop me if I am wrong, but what I am hearing is that most of us agree that moving the grand opening deadline back one month would ensure we pull it off professionally and without risk. So then we agree that I should inform the Marketing Department we cannot ensure an error-free event without more time; no less than a month?"
Find merit in other's suggestions to keep team spirit alive and participation fully engaged even if the suggestion is totally inappropriate.
Example: "Aaron, I can always count on you to see things from an angle I never considered, but I think in this instance dropping balloons when the lecture is finished might send a mixed message. Let's store that thought for another day, though. I could see that playing very well at the next retirement party. Thanks for that idea."
You my not always be able to make someone's day with your words. And alternatively, you may say something in passing you didn't even know had power or verve behind it.
But if you take responsibility of your words, your reactions, your gestures and your impact on other people, you may just make all the difference in the value others find in the things that make up you.

Improving Heathrow
Making every journey better
Since 1955 Heathrow has been connecting people from around the globe, making us the world's busiest international airport. In recent years, since 2003, £11bn has been invested in improving Heathrow. This represents one of the largest private sector investments in UK infrastructure over this period – making every journey better as well as providing jobs and supporting the UK's economic growth. We've opened new terminals such as Terminal 5, extensively refurbished Terminals 1, 3 and 4 and made lots of improvements right across the airport. We're now building a new Terminal 2 which will open to passengers in 2014. And looking forward to the next five years to 2019, we'll continue to invest in making every journey better.
You can already experience the difference this investment has made with a quicker arrival, smoother departure and a better connection. Behind the scenes, we are also improving the journey of your luggage by investing £900 million to create the world's largest integrated baggage system that helps make sure you and your baggage 'take off' and are reunited on time. While we're working on making your journey better we're committed to making sure your journey is a smooth one and our airport continues to operate as normal.
We always look forward to welcoming to you Heathrow so you can see the difference for yourself.
Terminal 1
Next time you fly from Terminal 1, you will notice we have opened up the check-in area to reveal a brighter and more spacious facility for using self-service check-in technology or dropping off your bags.
On your arrival back to Heathrow at Terminal 1, you will notice the passport control and baggage reclaim spaces have been given a more contemporary feel as you pass through to our arrivals hall.
Some £60 million has been invested in improving your journey through Terminal 1. We also have plans to replace the building completely around 2016 and until then our team are proud to welcome you to their terminal, home of the Star Alliance.
Terminal 2: The Queen's Terminal
Our newest terminal has been designed from the outset with the needs of the individual passenger at its heart and with sustainability as a guiding principle.
Terminal 2 will improve flight connections by bringing partner airlines closer together. Its clean, 21st Century design provides more natural light and space than you may be used to seeing in an airport.
And it will be an extraordinary space in its own right – great for airlines, for the people who work there and, most of all, for every single passenger.
Terminal 3
Each year we welcome around 18.9 million passengers to Terminal 3. We know how important a smooth arrival and departure is to your journey and we have invested £106 million to improve your Terminal 3 experience.
A new landscaped forecourt and check-in extension was unveiled in 2007 and you will experience the difference yourself in Zone A of the terminal. Next time you fly from Terminal 3, you can also take advantage of one of the brand new self-service kiosks and a contemporary check-in area.
Our commitment to improving your journey through Terminal 3 extends to the security search areas, which are being developed to become the largest at Heathrow. You can also expect your arrival back to Heathrow to be smoother following a £22 million investment in the passport control and baggage reclaim spaces.
Terminal 4
Passengers who regularly travel from Terminal 4 will have noticed that the building has undergone a significant transformation following an investment of £185 million since 2007. From the moment you approach the terminal by car, you will notice a brand new façade has been installed, creating a light and modern welcome for our visitors.
If you fly from Terminal 4 in the evening, take time to enjoy the translucent canopy outside the check-in area with specially designed lighting. Your check-in has also been upgraded for you with 6,000m2 of space and floor-to-ceiling windows.
Terminal 4 is now home to 45 airlines, and has a new, fresh look in the security screening area and new accommodation for A380 aircraft. Our work on Terminal 4 is not yet complete. Next time you fly with us you may notice work being carried out in the connections and passport control areas – just another way we're working to make your journey better.
Terminal 5
Terminal 5 has been rated by passengers as one of the best terminals in Europe and we are continuing to invest in making passengers journeys better with an extension. This new satellite building provides an additional 12 aircraft piers for Terminal 5, minimising the time you spend transferring to and from your flight and taxiing to the runway.
With large-scale glass panels overlooking the Heathrow's runways, you can enjoy spectacular views of the airport as well as speedy connections through to the rest of Terminal 5 using our underground Track Transit System (TTS). We are confident that this latest addition to Terminal 5's development will make your travel experience even smoother.

Off-Label Use of Atypical Antipsychotics: An Update
Summary of Adverse Effects in Adults (1 of 2)
Antipsychotics in the atypical class generally promote weight gain in adults (ages 18–64) and in the elderly (ages ≥65), but olanzapine is associated with greater risk than typical or other atypical antipsychotics. For olanzapine, the number needed to harm is 3 versus 16–35 for other atypical antipsychotics.
