World's most effective health intervention
At USD 5 per DALY (disability adjusted life years, a unit measuring the amount of health lost due to a disease or a condition) averted, hygiene promotion is a veritable bargain. By comparison, a DALY costs an average of USD 10 for insecticide-treated bed nets to prevent malaria; around $100 for condom promotion and distribution to prevent transmission of HIV/AIDS; and from USD 80 to $800 for directly observed short-course chemotherapy for endemic, infections or non-infectious tuberculosis. With the burden of disease costing the world $4.1 trillion each year, such simple hygiene acts as hand washing, safe disposal of shit, and good general hygiene around food, domestic animals, and sick family members, are the world's most cost-effective health interventions.
I'm a survivor! To be or not to be (Randomly)
England's Stratford-upon-Avon, where the Bard of Avon, William Shakespeare, was born around 1560, was not the kind of place one would choose to enter this world. The putrid conditions in the village led to an infant mortality rate that was so high that surviving past the age of 5 was often a matter of random chance. As notable figures go, Shakespeare was not alone in being a random childhood survivor. Nelson Mandela (b. 1918, Mvezo, South Africa), Martin Luther King Jr. (b. 1929, Atlanta, USA) , Mohandas Gandi (b. 1869, Porbandar, British India), Mother Teresa (b. 1910, Skopje, Ottoman Empire), Eva Peron (b. 1919, Los Toldos, Argentina), and Kofi Annan (b. 1938, Kumasi, Gold Coast) are but a few of history's greats whom the world can thank for surviving past the age of five. Today, two million children die each year before the age of 5 because of diarrhea.
Community-led total sanitation: the new and successful hot approach
One of the best feel-good stories in the effort to end open defecation and help more people be served by sanitation is the ascendance of CLTS, community-led total sanitation. CLTS represents a shift from centralized top-down supply-driven approaches to decentralized, people-centred demand-driven approaches. Developed in Bangladesh, the approach takes advantage of the knowledge and opinions of rural people in the planning and management of sanitation programmes in their own villages, and success are being seen as the approach spreads into India and Africa.
Wishing you could hide those pryin' eyes
Poor women and girls are hit hardest by the absence of toilets. They care for the sick and are in greatest physical contact with human waste. Lacking toilets in overcrowded slums means going the whole day without relieving oneself and then risking exposure – or even assault – at night, a humiliating daily routine that can damage health. Menstruation adds considerably to the need for sanitary facilities. Sexual harassment and rape are also a risk in rural areas, where women often seek privacy in the darkness, and in refugee camps, which all too often fail to provide safely located, women-only toilets. These realities absorb women's time, imperil their physical well-being, and limit their free and equal participation in the economic and social life of their societies.
Weird math
The Global Water Partnership estimated in 2000 that, while $13 billion was spent by donors on water, just USD 1 billion was committed to sanitation. More recent figures from the Joint Monitoring Programme of WHO and UNICEF suggest a proportion of eight to one. With 2.5 billion people lacking sanitation, but 894 million lacking good drinking water, more investment is needed in sanitation. Why has sanitation been the "orphan child" in WATSAN (water and sanitation) funding and programmes?
Boom times behind that closed door
Improved sanitation in developing countries typically yields about $9 worth of economic benefit for every $1 spent. That is an impressive ratio, though it is still relatively unknown outside of the sector. These benefits are mainly: saving time, reducing direct and indirect health costs, increasing the return on investments in education, and safeguarding water resources. The biggest element is the first one, saving time. People without toilets at home spend a great deal of time each day queuing for public toilets or looking for secluded places to defecate. The World Health Organization estimates this time has an economic value of well over USD 100 billion each year.
What's in a number?
In our multimedia world, news reports inundate us everywhere and at any time. For example, as of 2007, there were 2.5 billion mobile phones in use. The same year, iTunes music sales exceed 2.5 billion. For its Olympic effort, China planted 2.5 billion trees in 2008. Carbon dioxide emissions from US power plants are now at roughly 2.5 billion tonnes per year. The "Idol" franchise is worth USD 2.5 billion. Sadly, 2.5 billion is also the number of people unserved by sanitation around the world. Of these roughly 0.7 billion are in India, 0.7 billion in China, 0.7 billion in Africa and the remainder in other places, including the Caribbean. In reality, "unserved" means that 2.5 billion people wake up every morning with nowhere to go to shit. 2.5 billion is a shockingly large number of people.

"Actresses who sing often make 'small' acting choices, which unfortunately tend to get swallowed up by the music," said Love. "The result is the acting doesn't come through to the audience."
Fortunately, there's a remedy.
"Fearlessness – not the reckless kind but the sort of push that inspires – helps a lot," said Deborah Lapidus, a teacher of singing and song performance at both Juilliard and Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. "Fear impedes the ability to sing well.
"Certain actresses are so self-conscious about singing that they edit themselves even before opening their mouths, which causes their entire body to constrict," said Lapidus, who also coaches privately and has worked with Sigourney Weaver, Claire Danes and Debra Messing.
"When an actress's body is relaxed and well-supported by proper breathing, it allows her to be more expressive and melodic in speaking and in singing, which you can hear in actresses, such as Meryl Streep," she said. "The goal is for the acting and singing to become one experience."
And the actress-singers who manage that are the ones who get the most kudos.
"It's about expectations," said Lapidus. "If a performer is primarily a singer, like Beyonce, we have high expectations. But if we see an actress – that we never thought of as a chanteuse – sing well, we're pleasantly surprised because our expectations weren't high to begin with."

Networking help needed for a basic wireless network.
1 Attachment(s)
Firstly, this is suppose to be a very basic setup but I've found myself having lost much networking knowledge to the passage of time with little to no need for keeping it updated.
Anyway, I know have difficulty setting up even this basic network.
What I basically need is this: The cluster of 8 (it's actually 50 PCs) is connected to the Linksys wireless router via wireless NICs. The dotted cicle around them and the server, access point and router is physically in one classroom.
The other computers (the dotted circle bottom-left) is elsewhere in the building and is connected to the ADSL Modem.
Basically I want the 50 PCs to have file-sharing access to the server. This means I would like to know how I should configure IP addresses for the various computers.
My server should have access to the 10.x.x.x network and also have internet. My server should also be on the isolated 50 PC network (for file-sharing) but those 50 PCs should not have Internet access. Some bridging might be needed maybe. I'm not exactly sure how to do this, but some pointers will help alot.
Could someone please guide me to set up this network.
I'll elaborate if you need more information.
Re: Networking help needed for a basic wireless network.
As a short term solution I just gave all computers a 192.168.1.x IP address in the second, upper bubble so they can at least connect to the server.
I'll figure out the problem of subnetting (maybe creating 2 domains and two network cards in one machine) later. Or till networking professionals are back in the office and on the forum. Not that I would expect them to be bothered much with a problem as simple as this one.
Re: Networking help needed for a basic wireless network.
Re: Networking help needed for a basic wireless network.
just saw this thread. you still need some help/pointers?

You know what I'm talking about -- the orc and night elf duking it out, the warlock with the gigantic infernal, the dwarf hunter and his bear; the characters that were simply unnamed players like us. The first cinematic gave us a small introduction to these guys; the Burning Crusade cinematic fleshed them out even further, but they disappeared entirely with the Wrath cinematic. Don't get me wrong, there was nothing bad about Blizzard's choice with the cinematic for the second expansion, I just found myself wistfully wondering what happened to the tauren after the mage sheeped it. Where did the draenei go after smashing in the heads of his enemies? And most importantly -- we got the teeniest glimpse of a troll in the Burning Crusade cinematic; how about we see more of him? Or how about a gnome or two for a change?
What would you guys like to see in the Cataclysm cinematic? Deathwing bursting out of the ground and setting Azeroth ablaze? Sweeping landscapes? Goblins and worgen, of course, but what other races or classes would you like to see?

I've never quite understood the tech community's fascinating with unboxing videos of new products. Maybe it's the equivalent of a titillating technological strip show, or maybe they didn't get enough Christmas presents as a kid.
But whatever the case, it's a trend that's here to stay in the YouTube age, and now Microsoft Microsoft is taking advantage of it by doing their very own Xbox One unboxing courtesy of Major Nelson, rather than waiting for Joe Schmo and his webcam to do it.
The three and a half minute video goes through every single thing found in the box, from the cube itself, to the controller, to the Kinect, which is not sentient enough to unbox itself yet. Also included is headset that's a mini-reversal from the past announcement that the One wouldn't come with one. The headset will be included in both the Day One and Standard editions of the console, and I think it was a really smart idea of them to continue bundling it the way they did with the 360.
With the Xbox One at a $500 price point, it was going to be yet another point of annoyance for gamers to have to buy a $20 or $30 headset after the fact, but now by including it everyone can connect to Xbox Live and start playing with their friends immediately. This may seem like a small change, but I think it's an important one.
The video is probably the best look at the hardware found anywhere on the internet, if you haven't managed to get to a show for an up close and personal encounter with the system yourself yet. It does seem to be a bit on the large side in an age of increasingly tiny electronics, and there's still a giant power brick to contend with, even if it's a touch smaller than the 360′s. But above and beyond the old console, the Xbox One now comes with an HDMI cable and the ability to have its controllers be wired or wireless. Seeing that three of my four Xbox controllers are dead at all times these days with permanently KO'ed battery packs, that's a welcome addition.
All we know about release so far is that the console will be out some time in November. The PS4 has a less specific "holiday" release planned, but I have a hunch it'll be in November as well, a week before whatever date Microsoft picks.

The Voice
Christina Aguilera Celebrates Her 32nd Birthday in Style
It's no secret that pop diva Christina Aguilera is fabulous. Homegirl has a fan for every occasion and a variety of hair colors to boot. So it's only natural that she'd have a rockin' 32nd birthday party!
As we all know, Xtina spent her birthday filming the finale of The Voice Season 3, but the diva obviously needed a day all her own as well. So boyfriend Matthew Rutler threw her a surprise party to celebrate the greatness that is Lady Marmalade.
According to Us Weekly, the party was thrown on the Saturday before her birthday with 20 of Xtina's closest friends and family.
Fellow coach Blake Shelton attended the party, which featured some delicious foods like "mac n' cheese, mini chili dogs, deviled eggs, and grape leaves."
The diva also got a fabulous vanilla-flavored birthday cake from Vanilla Bakeshop with black icing in a lace design pattern.

The current labor troubles between the National Football League and its players union, along with a pending similar dispute involving the National Basketball Association, could lead to an economic blow for cities around the country. Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard believes those communities should have a voice when professional sports leagues hammer out new collective bargaining agreements or deal with a variety of other issues. In a Studio(i) interview, Ballard says he sent letters to mayors of cities with pro franchises calling for the formation of the Municipal Alliance for Taxpayer Equity in Sports.
Ballard plans to discuss the concept with several counterparts this weekend during a working lunch at the U.S. Conference of Mayors event in Baltimore.
He has been thinking about the alliance for some time and says it was not prompted by the NFL's current problems.

Sharon Likely to Postpone Russia Trip
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is likely to delay a three-day visit to Russia planned for next week "due to the rising levels of violence between Israel and the Palestinians over the past few days."
The hawkish leader is currently still considering whether to postpone the trip and will attend a preparatory discussion meeting Tuesday night, headed by the director general of the Prime Minister's Office, Uri Shani, said Haaretz newspaper.
Preparations for the trip to Russia will continue as planned, with a final decision on the visit only being made at the weekend.
Sharon is scheduled to leave for Moscow next Monday. According to the itinerary, he will meet Russian President Vladimir Putin and ask him to join a united international front "against terror," along with the United States, said the paper.
Sharon will also tell Putin that the "terror in the Middle East also poses a threat to Russia's security."
The prime minister will also meet with members of the Russian government, when he will raise the resurgence of anti-Semitism against Russian Jews and the continued leakage of nuclear and missile technology from Russia to Iran, the paper said.
Israel coordinated its positions with the United States, in advance of the visit, at a "strategic dialogue" forum held Monday in Washington, it added - Albawaba.com

text: Europe EuropePoland Jan Cienski on May 30, 2010 @ 1:27 PMMay 30, 2010 @ 1:27 PM Last Updated Mar 26, 2010 @ 9:17 PM PublishedPoland's first primary campaign: everybody wins?Update: Bronislaw Komorowski won the election to become the Civic Platform party's candidate for Poland's president with 68.5 percent of the vote. In Anne Applebaum's amusing take on being the wife of a presidential candidate, specifically Komorowski's opponent Radek Sikorski, Poland's primary seems to share essential qualities with the American version.WARSAW, Poland — Political primaries are a normal part of American political life, but in Poland voters recently got their first taste of choosing candidates for this fall's presidential elections.The primary, with results expected Saturday, is between two candidates of the ruling Civic Platform party, a party which is far ahead in opinion polls and is widely seen as having a very good chance of unseating the incumbent, Lech Kaczynski.One candidate is Radek Sikorski, 47, Poland's smooth and English-educated foreign minister. The other is Bronislaw Komorowski, 58, the speaker of parliament.Although this is a primary, and it is dominating Polish newspapers and television, Americans would have a hard time recognizing it. For one thing, Donald Tusk, the prime minister, chose the two candidates last month after he decided not to run for the presidency himself. Anyone else who wanted to run was simply out of luck.Tusk, who runs his centrist, pro-business party with an iron fist, has also set the rules for the campaign. The candidates are not supposed to disagree too vehemently, and the whole thing should be run in such a way as to not jeopardize party unity.That has turned the campaign into a fairly bizarre spectacle that is almost completely devoid of content. Instead of putting forward tax plans, or spelling out a new vision for Poland's foreign policy, the two men have been focusing on image.Sikorski, who was educated at Oxford and has worked at a conservative Washington think tank, is running as a multi-lingual man of the world, an exemplar of the plucky Pole who made it abroad and then came home. His wife, Washington Post columnist and Pulitzer Prize winner Anne Applebaum, is trotted out as the family brain trust."If I win the elections, the world would have to say: 'Wow! A Polish president with an American wife. We didn't expect that. Poland is a different country than we thought,'" Sikorski told voters recently.Komorowski, from an old aristocratic family, presents an image of stolid stability, represented by his moustache, and by his background as an activist in the anti-communist underground movement of the 1980s.Even the televised debate between the two was stage managed. Questions were handled not by a reporter but by a senior member of the party.Despite the fairly artificial nature of the campaign, there was a real choice for the 46,000 members of Civic Platform, who can vote either by mail or over the internet. Although both men are running hard for the country's top job, Poland's president is relatively powerless, and Tusk wants to further emasculate the position, turning it into an essentially ceremonial office.Most of the party's parliamentary members and senior officials support Komorowski. Sikorski only joined the party after the 2005 elections; before that he was allied with Civic Platform's right-wing rivals in the Law and Justice party, whom he had served as minister of defense. Opinion polls seem to indicate that Komorowski also has more support among the party rank-and-file, although Sikorski does better among younger members and those who recently joined the party.Sikorski was on an upward trajectory before a recent attack against President Kaczynski that was so far out of line the foreign minister later apologized. In a speech to the party faithful, Sikorski made fun of the diminutive president's height and tossed in a sly reference to past accusations that the president is an occasional tippler.Despite the occasional hiccup, the campaign has been an enormous public relations coup for Civic Platform. The primary election has sucked out all the media oxygen for candidates from rival parties."This is great," said a Civic Platform member of parliament who supports Komorowski. "All voters are talking about is Sikorski and Komorowski. People in my district are acting as if the primary will decide the final results of the presidential election."The opposition parties are enormously jealous that they did not come up with the idea first. Witold Waszczykowski, a senior advisor to President Kaczynski, is threatening to take Civic Platform to court because he says the primary is violating election rules by beginning campaigning too early."What they're doing is really unfair," he complained.Opinion polls show that Kaczynski has very little chance of winning re-election. He has spent much of his presidency in lock-step with his controversial twin brother, the combative leader of Law and Justice and a former prime minister, and is not seen as someone who rises above party politics, as is the tradition with Polish presidents.Poland's unexpected primary has proved to be such a success that other parties are likely to adopt it for the next presidential election in five years, with the process becoming more open and more democratic. All that is left is for Poland to move into a U.S.-style permanent election cycle.

A double major just means having two majors. Sound simple? Unfortunately, it's not. You can pick just about anything you want, from chemistry and physics to biology and English. Keep in mind, however, that a double major in biology and English may take longer than a double major in chemistry and physics because the course requirements are so different. Besides picking your majors, you also need to figure out if you will get one degree (a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science, for instance), two separate degrees, or a combination degree (such as a BAS, which is a BA and a BS).
If you do choose to double-major, make your college counselor your best friend! First, meet with your counselor to find out about your school's policies for double majors and to create a plan for your college career. Then, meet regularly with your counselor from your freshman year on to make sure you are taking all the right classes and staying on the right track. Also, communicate frequently with your major departments (if they are different). Make sure you are prepared for the amount of work and dedication it takes to double-major. Good luck!

The game was a tight affair with the Titans clinging to a small lead for most of the game. CSUN closed to within 54-53 with 6:55 left to play, but Fullerton outscored Northridge 21-14 over the final seven minutes to seal the victory.
Erving was a force inside for the Matadors all game, finishing 14-of-31 from the field and a perfect 6-of-6 from the free throw line. She pulled down 13 boards for her fourth-straight double-double, fifth of the season and 12th of her career.
The 34 points, 24 of which came in the second half, are the most by a Big West player this season. For the year, she is now averaging a career-high 14.7 points and 7.4 rebounds. In Big West play, Erving's numbers jump to 21.4 points and 11.2 rebounds per game.
Bridgette Conejo also had a strong effort for the Matadors, finishing with a season-high 13 points and 10 rebounds. It was the second double-double of her career and she added three assists and a steal in 39 minutes of action.
Analee Viena-Lota added 10 points and had five rebounds for Northridge. The Matadors trailed 36-31 at halftime after shooting 28.6 percent (10-of-35) in the opening 20 minutes. Erving had 10 points at the break.
For the game, the Matadors shot 35.7 percent (25-of-70) from the field compared to 37.3 percent (22-of-59) for the Titans. CSUN won the rebounding battle, 44-41, and had 20 points of 15 Titan turnovers.
Lyndsey Grove led Fullerton with 26 points while Megan Richardson added 14 and Lauren Bushong had 10 points. The Titans' victory snapped a four-game winning streak for the Matadors in the series.
Northridge returns to the court on Wednesday, Jan. 19 with a non-conference game against San Diego. The Matadors and Toreros will tip-off at 5 p.m. from The Matadome, as the game is part of a CSUN basketball doubleheader. The Northridge men's squad face Seattle University following the completion of the women's game.
The Matadors next Big West game will be on the road again, this time taking the team to San Luis Obispo, Calif., to face Cal Poly on Jan. 22 at 4 p.m. Northridge then plays its next three league games at home, hosting UC Irvine, UC Santa Barbara and UC Riverside.

League of Legends extended the deadline for achieving the necessary ranks to earn the various Season 3 rewards to November 11th, and this week players discovered a series of Soraka support bots that were farming account levels in co-op mode. Blizzard All-Stars has been renamed yet again and is now back in development under the name Heroes of the Storm.
Path of Exile began gearing up for its official launch this coming Wednesday with the release of a deluge of new information on what the patch contains and the first of a brand-new season of the popular Build of the Week series. Firefall developer Red 5 Studios released a new development update with details on plans to revamp everything from the user interface to crafting and character progression. And Russian MOBA Prime World asked its community to come up with a set of guidelines for players to abide by.
|Yep, Star Citizen's still raking in the money
Cloud Imperium founder Chris Roberts has announced Star Citizen's latest monetary milestone in a new letter from the chairman. The crowdfunded space sim topped $23 million this week, which unlocked a new Xi'an scout plane.
|League of Legends aims for harmony with new Team Builder feature
MOBA golden child League of Legends has long been renowned for its incredibly hardcore community, which can make matters unpleasant for newer players and for those looking to learn a new character or try a new strategy.
|Solstice Arena comes to Steam
Growing older has two distinct disadvantages: responsibility and less free (game) time. This is where Zynga's mobile MOBA, Solstice Arena, really shines with its cross-platform access and average ten-minute match duration.
|Infinite Crisis trailer introduces Atomic Green Lantern
Sometimes, being a hero is more than a difficult job; it's a downright painful experience. Such is the case for the newest champion to join the Infinite Crisis line-up: Atomic Green Lantern.
Frontier Developments released the 13th development newsletter for Elite: Dangerous this week, delving into the early details of weapons, space stations, ships and more. As the game moves steadily toward early alpha testing, developers continue to add more weapon systems for us to pulverise enemy ships with. The beam laser and magnetic railgun were shown off in a previous newsletter, but now we know that the game will also feature missiles, torpedoes, and a new "Small Hardpoint Cannon" that can fit to any unused small ship hardpoint.
The update also shows off concept art for an orbital space station and a mesh paintover of the Panther LX heavy cargo clipper. Painting over the initial 3-D mesh of the ship gives the concept artists a more true-to-life end result, which then acts as a visual target for the texture artists and modelers still working on the ship. Accompanying the newsletter was the seventh dev diary video, which delves into the upcoming alpha and beta stages due to start in December.
Star Citizen bagged yet another million dollars this week, passing the $23 million mark to unlock the Xi'an Scout light attack craft. The $25 million stretch goal has now been revealed as an enhanced alpha with geolocated servers in North America, Europe and Australia from day one of testing. This goal will also add extra alpha slots for players to reserve, which may prove to be a sensible business move given that there are only about 6,700 slots remaining and new customers are the team's most important source of funding.
Even though the game isn't playable yet, Star Citizen has already inspired hundreds of fan-made stories, 3-D models, works of art, and videos. Developers put a few of the best fan videos under the spotlight this week, including the awesome short film "Goodbye" below.
Riot Games has decided to extend the deadline for League of Legends' Season 3 rewards to November 11th. Players who achieve Bronze rank or higher in ranked matches before that date will get bonus rewards like unique summoner icons, profile banners, ward skins, and rare champion skins. Riot is also planning to re-release several old legacy and event skins to the general public as very few players currently own them.
New players trying out the co-op mode against AI have recently uncovered a bot that automatically plays support with Soraka to farm levels. The bot allegedly runs straight to bottom lane and latches onto the player that heads there, healing them and refilling their mana for the entire match. Players found at least 12 of the bots running currently and have speculated that they may be used to farm level 30 accounts for sale or to scam the recruiter reward system.
Blizzard's first attempt to break into the MOBA genre has been named for a third time. The game was originally named Blizzard DOTA but provoked a legal dispute with Valve over its use of the DotA brand in its game Dota 2. As part of the settlement for that case, Blizzard agreed to change the name to Blizzard All-Stars. After two years of silence punctuated by the occasional reminder that the game is still in the works, developers have decided to rename the project yet again. The new name is Heroes of the Storm, and the game will be unveiled at BlizzCon next month.
Path of Exile officially launches in just two days time on Wednesday, October 23rd, when the colossal 1.0.0 patch lands. The update adds the Scion class, new items, new skills, and an additional act to the game. Developers have also increased the drop rate of armour with four linked sockets by a huge percentage to help players get over the level 40-55 hurdle, tweaked the item quantity and rarity bonuses, and improved two-handed weapons.
Release day marks the start of two new four month long ladder-style leagues and some rebalancing of the passive skill tree and skill gems that is sure to have players theorycrafting new and better character builds. In that spirit, Grinding Gear Games has launched a brand-new season of its popular Build of The Week series to accompany the game's official release. The first episode shows off some of the new features coming in for launch, including the new Scion class.
an in-depth development update this week detailing everything the studio has been up to lately and what the future holds for Firefall. The team emphasised that its number one priority is the quality of the game and the user experience. The number of QA testers has been doubled as developers strive toward their goal of having more defect reports closed each day than created. There are also developments in the user interface, dynamic encounters, character progression, combat, crafting, and social integration.
Prime World recently took the unusual stance of letting its community vote on guidelines and rules to be followed by all players. Among those rules passed were orders not to go AFK in games, intentionally feed the enemy team with kills, or make any other attempt to assist the enemy team. Other guidelines have been agreed on by the players that Nival won't be using when issuing punishments. This includes directives to play as a team, help out new players, practice good sportsmanship, communicate with your team, and report offending players without telling them you are reporting them.

Sodium Hypochlorite Vs. Calcium Hypochlorite (SINO-CHLOR)
Sodium and Calcium Hypochlorite (SINO-CHLOR) are disinfectants used in bleach and bleach products, purifying drinking water, swimming pools, ponds and wastewater. Sodium and calcium hypochlorite also are used in soil treatment of fruits and vegetables. Hypochlorites control bacteria, fungi and slime-forming algae that causes disease in people and animals. In the presence of oxygen, the hypochlorites convert readily into sodium chloride (table salt) and calcium chloride (road salt).
History and Benefits
In 1896, hypochlorites were used in typhoid epidemics in Austria-Hungary on the Adriatic Sea. Chlorination was introduced in England during 1905 to eliminate typhoid fever from the water supply. One of the most significant advances in public health, chlorination and filtration in the United States eliminated typhoid, cholera, dysentery and hepatitis A.
In 1957, sodium and Calcium Hypochlorite, known as bleach, were registered as pesticides. Pesticides used in the U.S. must meet Environmental Protective Agency (EPA) standards. Pesticides have to be re-registered with the EPA if they contain 5.25 to 12.5 percent sodium hypochlorite, or 65 to 70 percent calcium hypochlorite, with no other ingredients other than water.
Drinking Water
The EPA's Office of Drinking Water has tested sodium and Calcium Hypochlorite thoroughly for water and wastewater systems to make sure they do not create carcinogens. The EPA set a maximum contaminant level of 100 parts per billion in drinking water.
Food Processing
Sodium hypochlorite may be used in washing and peeling of fruits and vegetables or as a final sanitizer on food processing equipment.

What drum mics should I purchase?

Re: What drum mics should I purchase?
For 300 dollars your not going to get much like was said. I don't think your going to be able to afford a decent mixer even used. I would forget getting fancy with the drum micing and just buy 2 brand new shure sm57s and the 2 cheapest stands that will get them above your drumset. Just put the sm57s in front of your set and point them in a x patern one pointed across the snare and high hat but not right at it above it parralel to the ground and do the same with the oppisite just pointing at your floor tom.
It will probably actually give you a really decent sound and when you get the money for more advanced set ups you will still have 2 really good mics you can use in conjunction with other mics you will buy.
If you do want to get a cheap mixer it just get the cheapest berringer they have that suits your needs. It will be ok for a live set up don't try useing mixers like that for recording though and expect decent results.

Cavs find new football coach in Sunshine State
Southern Lee announced the hiring of Don Simon as its new head football coach Tuesday night.
Simon, who's coming to the Cavaliers from Flanagan High School in Pembroke Pines, Fla. where he's coached for the last six seasons, has spent his high school coaching career in south Florida.
Southern Lee's previous head coach, Tom Paris, was dismissed from the coaching position in December after the Cavaliers went 2-9. Paris coached the Cavaliers for three seasons, including a 6-6 season and a trip to the state playoffs in 2011.
"Our administrative staff is excited to welcome coach Simon and his family to Southern Lee High School. I truly believe he can take our program to the next level," said Southern Lee principal Bonnie Almond in a memo to school staff sent out Tuesday.
Simon is scheduled to join the Southern Lee staff as head football coach and weight training coach on March 4.
Flanagan, in Broward County, has an enrollment of nearly 3,500. Simon coached the Falcons to their first winning record in the first 18 years of the program history during his tenure. Flanagan went 6-4 this past fall.
Before taking the job at Flanagan, Simon was the first football coach at Ronald Reagan High School in Miami where he built a program from scratch.
"Throughout his career he has been involved in building and rebuilding programs," Almond said.
Simon attended and was a placekicker/punter at Dakota State University in Madison, S.D. He was an all-conference and a 1993 honorable mention All-American kicker in his collegiate career.

The December and January Issue
December 27, 2011
Hello PLN,
We hope you will enjoy this month's issue. We have collected posts from all over the world on what students think a dream school would look like. We would like to thank all of the teachers that were able to have their students work on this project and we are excited to share their thoughts with you. We have grades 1 and 4 – 12. Please take a look at these posts and leave a comment the teachers can share with their students. It would mean the world to them to hear what educators thought of their ideas. Please pass this to all of your friends and share your ideas of the perfect dream school in the comments sections of each post.
Due to time constraints of the editors and the writers (You!) we have decided to start publishing a bi-monthly magazine. One of the hardest parts of ProjectPLN is getting all of the posts together in time to share with all of you. We are prefer quality over quantity and figured that every other month would be easier on all of the teachers out there who really want to share a story, but have trouble finding the time in a month to write something they cold share.
Look forward to a new post in the new year announcing the topic for the February/March Issue of Project PLN.
Wishing everyone in the world a happy New Year,
Nick and Kelly
Project PLN

He's fed up with everything and is ready to follow his wife (and the other 99.9% of humanity) into oblivion. But his life is changed forever when a young woman he meets just won't take extinction for an answer.

I'm also at work on the sequel to Up Against It, tentatively titled Out of Bounds. The story features atheist prophet Jane Navio, the Viridian shapeshifting hacker Vivian-Gabriel Waithira-Macharia wa Thondu, and the feral artificial sapient, BitManSinger, from the first book. Jane's nemesis, Martian mobster Elwood Ogilvie will be there, and her husband Ngo Minh Xuan, might also us a glimpse of ominous happenings out among the faraway stroids.

Recipe by sal
"This graham cracker crust is not as sweet as most others. It's simple and delicious, and can be used for almost any kind of pie. Best with pumpkin or chocolate!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

graham cracker squares, crushed
1/4 cup
butter, melted
I was pretty stupid with this one: When I read "16 graham crackers" I thought the WHOLE cracker (with the 4 separations in it) was 1 cracker, when it was actually 4!!! So I ended up using 64 crackers (4X the number needed), which of course resulted in there not being enough butter to moisten them. After I realized this, I removed 1/2 the crackers and added another 1/4 cup of butter, and it turned out fine even though the proportions were off! Make sure you know that 1 cracker is 1/4 of a "sheet" as it comes in the package!
Thia came out too crumbly. It would not hold together even after baking. And then once I filled and baked per pie instructions, my crust smelled burnt. I must have done something wrong. If I make again, I will use more butter and I will not bake until I fill the crust.
110 Ratings
4*'s because the recipe needs an alteration. Sorry, but some of these reviews are just dead wrong in terms of what is meant by "16 crackers." The only way to fill up the pie plate (I used a 9 inch) substantially enough to get a sturdy crust is to use 16 WHOLE graham crackers: that's 16 of the large rectangles. Otherwise your crust will be flimsy & very difficult to spread evenly. However, in using 16 whole crackers you have to increase the butter to a 1/2 CUP. With those indications it's a great crust. I made it with Key Lime Pie VII so the no-sugar-needed aspect of this crust was a perfect compliment. I did not pre-bake (only baked the time necessary for the pie) and I greased the pie plate w/ the butter wrapper. The pie slices slipped right out.
Great! I used this for cheesecake and didn't prebake it beforehand. I used 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs. Delish!
A perfect pie crust. All that added sugar in other crusts is unnecessary! This works well with either butter or margarine, and it's an easy start to a super-quick recipe - a pudding pie! :) Although you might want to spray a little non-stick spray into the pie plate before adding the crumb-butter mixture, I've had problems trying to get the crust to come loose from the pan. A little Pam spray and it's so much easier. Thanks, Sara!!
I'm giving this recipe only 4 stars since it doesn't give enough information, otherwise it's a good crust.
If you're using a deep dish pie plate, you'll need to increase the recipe. Also, if you're using Graham Cracker crumbs, then you'll need actual measurements. Therefore, for a deep dish pie crust, use 2 cups crumbs and 1/2 cup butter/margarine. And make sure you press down firmly all over the pie plate.
I've always made this crust by eyeing the proportions - it's great to finally have an exact recipe! It looks like 1 tbsp butter per 'sheet' of 4 graham crackers. Crushed the graham crackers in a ziplock bag with a rolling pin. Works great with margarine also, thanks!
I have made this crust many times from this recipe and it always turns out great. I usually double it and put it in a casserole dish for a larger dessert. Be sure to press it firmly. That is the key to success.

Photographer shares glimpses into lives of area residentsWritten by Holly Tuey | | firstname.lastname@example.com
This winter has left many people stuck at home for days, looking for ways to entertain themselves. It was under such circumstances that Joni Johnson started a photography project that's quickly gaining momentum in the Toledo area.
Humans of Toledo was born during the early January snowstorm that resulted in county snow emergencies across Northwest Ohio. Johnson said she posted on Facebook that she was going to start a new project, hoping the announcement would help hold her accountable. The idea is now a Facebook page and a blog.
To launch Humans of Toledo, Johnson started with people she knew. She takes a picture and asks a few questions, then posts the photo and a quote online. Johnson said she started with the idea that the project would be a résumé-builder. As a broadcast journalism student at Bowling Green State University, she thought of it as a chance to practice interviewing people.
"It's more than that for me now," she said. "For the first time in my life, whether I know the direction of this, I feel like I have purpose. I want to be an instrument for people to tell their stories."
Johnson's inspiration was Humans of New York, a blog and Facebook page started by Brandon Stanton in 2010. The tagline of the project is "New York City, one story at a time."
"The creator of that page captures people's images off the streets of New York City," Johnson said. "He captures every emotion and gets them to open up."
The concept clearly resonates. More than 3 million people have liked Humans of New York's Facebook page and Stanton recently published a book of photos that shot to the top of The New York Times' best-seller list. There are now hundreds of spinoff sites, including Ann Arbor, Cincinnati, Detroit, Tehran, Paris, Spain and more. Now Toledo has one as well.
Some of the people featured on Humans of Toledo were simply fans of the page whom Johnson asked to participate. Others came forward and asked her.
John Amato, owner of local T-shirt company JUPMODE, was one of Johnson's early subjects. He said he doesn't consider himself photogenic, but Johnson made him feel comfortable.
"Humans of Toledo is awesome," Amato said. "Joni has done a great job showing the diversity of Toledo and the connections we all share. It's exactly like it sounds — a very humanizing project. I still follow every new post."
The point of the page is to show everyday people in Toledo, Johnson said. Those featured are not celebrities, political figures or millionaires. They are identified only by first name.
"You don't have to be doing something grandiose," Johnson said. "There is value in every person. … It contributes to Toledo feeling more like a home, helps it shine, even boosts morale."
She's not the only one who feels that way.
"What [Johnson] is doing, whether she realizes or not, is something fantastic for our city," Jeremy Baumhower posted on the Facebook page. Baumhower, a Toledo Free Press columnist, was one of the earliest Facebook fans of Johnson's project and has also been the subject of one of her portraits. "Humans of Toledo gives us a positive face and incredible words," he said. "This site does something so pure, so sweet. Everyone has a story and it acts like a public scrapbook."
Ryan Bunch, performing and literary arts coordinator at The Arts Commission, agreed that Humans of Toledo is a great way to promote the thoughts and ideas of "regular people" throughout the city — but he hopes to see more diversity in the subjects as it goes on.
"Everyone that lives here has an interesting story and emotional connection to the city, and I think this is a great way to present that and connect people, especially those who don't know one another or aren't as involved in the change happening here as some," said Bunch, who was photographed by Johnson in January. "That said, I'd personally like to see the page— like many other outlets in the city — become a little edgier and more diverse by focusing on people from all walks of life and in neighborhoods that don't get a lot of positive attention."
Eric Shanteau said he met Johnson after learning she was the artist behind a local art installation he had admired called "Before I Die," a temporary chalkboard wall that prompted passersby to write down what they hoped to do before they died.
"Joni's compassion and sense of intrigue for strangers in our community eventually led way toward meeting her and becoming friends," Shanteau said. "She asked me if I wanted to be part of her newest project Humans of Toledo."
Although he wasn't familiar with the concept, Shanteau said the idea immediately spoke to him as an avid Instagrammer.
"Having a passion for photography myself, I understand originality and the urge to spark new interest in an art that has been around for what seems like forever," he said.
Photographing people is especially meaningful, Shanteau said.
"You can take photos of anything inanimate around the world — panoramic views of cities and their skylines, even the Seven Wonders of the World — and it's all incredible, all miraculous, and yet most of us won't take a second glance at them in a photo because we are overloaded with their images in our mind," he said.
"However, people are unique, and when you lend a story to their photo, it's more or less a one-of-a-kind moment. It allows for us, as fans of Humans of Toledo, to spend a moment with individuals we may never meet in our lifetime, even though we may pass them along our own city streets. We are all Humans of Toledo, living our lives and understanding that a photo of another could quite possibly help narrow the gap from different to similar, with the drive Joni has to introduce us to one another.
"What she is truly reintroducing us to is the ability to communicate to anyone around us," Shanteau added. "Perhaps to not pass judgment and understand that we all have hardships and joys as humans in Toledo. We are all one in this place we call home."
Johnson said it's been humbling for her to see the support people give each other on the page and to hear their stories. While she hopes others are getting something from it, the project is also very personal for her.
"I have constant struggles, big and small, but the key that I'm learning, with time, is that it's important to never stop believing in yourself. I think this page allows for that opportunity," she said. "It's a moment of self-reflection and having meaningful connections with people in the community. The more I step outside of my spinning thoughts and give my time to others, the better I feel."

This market has taken its toll on almost every company, weak and strong alike. But the strong companies with good growth prospects should come out on top. Many of these stocks got beaten down after the slightest misstep, despite future expectations, or have been lumped together with other poor-performing industry peers. Value inventors should find these stocks extremely attractive - trading at cheap valuations vs. peers, and with strong future growth prospects.
IN PICTURES: Learn To Invest In 10 Steps
The Value Bunch
Tower Group (Nasdaq:TWGP) provides commercial and personal P&C insurance. Peer companies have been subject to valuation retracement because these companies have felt the "AIG effect". The "AIG effect" has subjected insurance companies to extreme scrutiny for their investment portfolio and risk profile. Towers has a trailing 12-month (ttm) P/E of 9.8, vs. the industry average of 8.6. This may not be very compelling, but when the historical growth of over 42% vs. 14% for the industry is factored in, the high P/E ratio is justified.
Healthstream (Nasdaq:HSTM) is in the unique business of providing internet-based learning and research solutions for the training, information and education needs of the healthcare industry in the United States. This company helps healthcare providers analyze and interpret survey data, such as the patient survey. It also provides training software for healthcare providers. This business has very little national competition, but does face more local or regional players. HSTM has a ttm P/E of 10.5 times, vs. similar companies of 23 times, and has above average growth rates. This is a business which should continue to flourish as patients become more consumer-oriented and the choice in healthcare takes center stage.
Mercury Computer Systems (Nasdaq:MRCY) designs and manufactures high-performance embedded, real-time digital signal and image processing systems and software for computer systems in the aerospace and defense markets. This company competes in a crowded hardware and software industry, but only in this small niche market. However, it is dependent on government spending and contracts - a difficult position in the current economic state. But it does benefit from the current ongoing foreign wars. The valuation is extremely compelling, with a ttm P/E of 11 times, vs. the rest of the industry 13.9 times, and has much better financial strength.
Inventure foods (Nasdaq:SNAK) produces and sells snack foods in the United States under several brands, such as T.G.I.Friday's and Burger King. While the ttm P/E is on par with its peers, SNAK's growth profile is certainly more attractive, with historical sales growth of 13.63%, while the industry lagged with only 4.4% growth.
The Bottom Line
The recent market has not been kind to stock picking. But in the long run, valuation should impact stock performance. Finding stocks that are undervalued in good businesses should result in price appreciation that outperforms the broader market. These four stocks are expected to grow faster than the market in good industry segments - a value investor's dream. (Buying value stocks that are moving higher helps investors steer clear of value traps. To learn more, see Value Investing + Relative Strength = Higher Returns.)
