Allyn: Leaving in the middle of podcasts
Its been a while...
EVGA has been around for quite some time now. They have turned into NVIDIA's closest North American partner after the collapse of the original VisionTek. At nearly every trade show or gaming event, EVGA is closely associated with whatever NVIDIA presence is there. In the past EVGA focused primarily on using NVIDIA reference designs for PCB and cooling, and would branch out now and then with custom or semi-custom watercooling solutions.
A very svelte and minimalist design for the shroud. I like it.
The last time I actually reviewed an EVGA products was way back in May of 2006. I took a look at the 7600 GS product, which was a passively cooled card. Oddly enough, that card is sitting right in front of me as I write this. Unfortunately, that particular card has a set of blown caps on it and no longer works. Considering that the card has been in constant use since 2006, I would say that it held up very well for those eight years!
EVGA has been expanding their product lineup to be able to handle the highs and lows of the PC market. They have started manufacturing motherboards, cases, and power supplies to help differentiate their product lineup and hopefully broaden their product portfolio. We know from past experiences that companies that rely on one type of product from a single manufacturer (GPUs in this particular case) can experience some real issues if demand drops dramatically due to competitive disadvantages. EVGA also has taken a much more aggressive approach to differentiating their products while keeping them within a certain budget.
The latest generation of GTX 700 based cards have seen the introduction of the EVGA ACX cooling solutions. These dual fan coolers are a big step up from the reference design and puts EVGA on par with competitive products from Asus and MSI. EVGA does make some tradeoffs as compared, but these are fairly minimal when considering the entire package.
EVGA Launches GTX 750 and GTX 750 SC With 2GB GDDR5
Subject: Graphics Cards | March 3, 2014 - 10:33 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: nvidia, maxwell, gtx 750, evga
EVGA recently launched two new GTX 750 graphics cards with 2GB of GDDR5 memory. The new cards include a reference clocked GTX 750 2GB and a factory overclocked GTX 750 2GB SC (Super Clocked).
The new graphics cards are based around NVIDIA's GTX 750 GPU with 512 Maxwell architecture CUDA cores. The GTX 750 is the little brother to the GTX 750 Ti we recently reviewed which has 640 cores. EVGA has clocked the GTX 750 2GB card's GPU at reference clockspeeds of 1020 MHz base and 1085 MHz boost and memory at a reference speed of 1253 MHz. The "Super Clocked" GTX 750 2GB SC card keeps the memory at reference speeds but overclocks the GPU quite a bit to 1215 MHz base and 1294 MHz boost.

Both cards have a 55W TDP sans any PCI-E power connector and utilize a single shrouded fan heatsink. The cards are short but occupy two PCI slots. The rear panel hosts one DVI, one HDMI, and one DisplayPort video output along with ventilation slots for the HSF. Further, the cards both support NVIDIA's G-Sync technology.
The reference clocked GTX 750 2GB is $129.99 while the factory overclocked model is $139.99. Both cards are similar to their respective predecessors except for the additional 1GB of GDDR5 memory which comes at a $10 premium and should will help a bit at high resolutions.
HCW Redefines FTW with an EVGA Z87 FTW Review
Subject: General Tech, Motherboards | January 9, 2014 - 11:45 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Z87 FTW, evga
I am pretty sure that EVGA intends for it to signify For the Win, if anything. Still, HCW wants to treat it like the start of a mission statement.
HCW got a hold of an EVGA Z87 FTW motherboard and were among the first to review it... and among the few found on Google.
Intel, with the Haswell architecture, eliminated much of the voltage regulation hardware by integrating it on the chip. This move was to improve power consumption without really affecting performance. The review goes through the unusual design of the EVGA board's power delivery. It is based on a 6-phase system, which is low, but still performed. In fact, he was again capable of reaching 4.8 GHz on his i7-4770K.
His major concern was with its price. At $220, it pushes up against a different class of motherboards such as the Gigabyte Z87X-UD5H (with more features) although it is still competitive even then. Check out his review if you want more information or just want a reprieve from the Vegas lights.

EVGA Enters the Chassis Market
Cases are a funny thing. Some people spend more time fretting over the chassis of their new system than any other component while some builders simply could not care less about what "box" is holding the carefully selected components that power their gaming rig. While I can see both points of view, I think it is a shame to completely ignore the "look" of your system as it will be the one part of your design choices that you'll see on a daily basis.
EVGA has a great reputation in the enthusiast market thanks to its top of the line graphics cards and the emphasis of the company on enthusiast level products, water cooling and more. In recent years EVGA has branched into motherboards (again), power supplies and now cases. But rather than target a market that was saturated and dominated by a few big players, they decided to target the Mini ITX form factor. Having just recently released the Z87 Stinger Mini ITX motherboard, EVGA has created an ecosystem that allows a builder to use exclusively EVGA components with the new Hadron Air case.
In our video review below you'll see our overview of the design, the positive and negatives of the design and of small cases in general and my final thoughts on this rather impressive mITX design. After you are done watching it head down to the collection of photos below for a written analysis of the Hadron Air.
If you have never worked in a small form factor PC before, let me warn you up front - this is not as simple of a process as building a computer in a standard ATX case. Space is tight and doing simple things like routing cables from the motherboard to the hard drive can be a 10 minute ordeal. Additionally, sometimes the ORDER of installation can make a HUGE difference in the ease of the entire process so pay attention to other users that might have used your particular chassis.
Don't let its small size fool you though, the EVGA Hadron Air can pack a lot of punch. Using the latest mITX motherboard and graphics cards from EVGA's lineup you can literally build one of the most powerful gaming systems around in its small 6x12x12-in space!
Continue reading our review of the EVGA Hadron Air Mini ITX Case!!
Introduction and Technical Specifications
Courtesy of EVGA
The EVGA Z87 Stinger is EVGA's Z87-based answer for the small form-factor crowd. Sporting the micro-ITX form factor, the board is featured packed and offers support for the latest generation of Intel LGA1150-based processors. While its MSRP of $229.99 may seem large for its small stature, the Z87 Stinger's feature list makes it well worth the outlay.
Courtesy of EVGA
The EVGA Z87 Stinger board features a 6-phase power delivery system and an impressive 10 layer PCB. Additionally, EVGA designed the CPU socket with a higher amount of gold, as well as use of solid state capacitors throughout the board to ensure problem-free operation under all operational circumstances. The following features are integrated into the Z87 Stinger: 4 SATA 6Gb/s ports; 1 mPCIe/mSATA 6Gb/s port; 1 eSATA 6Gb/s port; an Intel GigE NIC; 1 PCI-Express x16 slot; on board power, reset, and BIOS reset buttons; BIOS Select switch; 2-digit diagnostic LED display; and USB 2.0 and 3.0 port support.

NVIDIA Tegra Note Program
Clearly, NVIDIA's Tegra line has not been as successful as the company had hoped and expected. The move for the discrete GPU giant into the highly competitive world of the tablet and phone SoCs has been slower than expected, and littered with roadblocks that were either unexpected or that NVIDIA thought would be much easier to overcome.
The truth is that this was always a long play for the company; success was never going to be overnight and anyone that thought that was likely or possible was deluded. Part of it has to do with the development cycle of the ARM ecosystem. NVIDIA is used to a rather quick development, production, marketing and sales pattern thanks to its time in high performance GPUs, but the SoC world is quite different. By the time a device based on a Tegra chip is found in the retail channel it had to go through an OEM development cycle, NVIDIA SoC development cycle and even an ARM Cortex CPU development cycle. The result is an extended time frame from initial product announcement to retail availability.
Partly due to this, and partly due to limited design wins in the mobile markets, NVIDIA has started to develop internal-designed end-user devices that utilize its Tegra SoC processors. This has the benefit of being much faster to market – while most SoC vendors develop reference platforms during the normal course of business, NVIDIA is essentially going to perfect and productize them.

For a lot of people, retirement is something to look forward to. For Bernadette Quintana, the manager at the Los Alamos Motor Vehicle Division, retirement is a bittersweet thought.
Though she has been planning retirement since this summer, she has yet to actually take the leap into the retiree pool.
Quintana, a Santa Cruz native, has worked for the MVD for approximately 23 years, but has worked for the state since 1982.
She began her career working for the Fire Marshall's office, where she spent two years as a data entry clerk. She also worked with other state agencies before transferring to the MVD.
She worked with the Taxation and Revenue Department, as well with the medical assistance office. She eventually transferred to the MVD, where she has been ever since.
"I have a passion for working with people," Quintana said. She said that she realized her passion at a young age, when she and her sister would play office. She said that they would set their dolls up and pretend they were customers, and pretend they were working in an office.
She also said it was at that time that her sister realized her dream of becoming a hair stylist. "She'd cut her dolls' hair and cry later because it wouldn't grow back. She's a successful stylist today," Quintana said.

For the leading global printing ink manufacturers, 2011 was another challenging year. While many of the largest ink companies reported increases in sales during the past year, margins generally suffered as higher raw material costs were not offset by price increases to customers and/or cost reductions by ink companies.
Shrinking margins are a huge concern for the ink industry. The printing industry is facing its own challenges, particularly in the publication and commercial sectors, but ink manufacturers simply need to be able to make money. It seems likely that higher raw material costs are here to stay, and ink industry executives have to find a way to justify their own price increases.
Despite this concern, there was some good news for the ink industry. Digital, packaging and UV printing ink manufacturers fared well during 2011. Companies doing business in the Asia-Pacific and South America generally reported growth in those regions.
Leading ink industry executives say they are watching both the raw material market and their own costs closely, and are working on keeping their customers informed on the present situation. Time will tell if ink manufacturers will be able to get these much-needed price increases through.

Indiana's unwanted dogs shipped to New England
Organizers hope for tougher spay/neuter laws
INDIANAPOLIS - Dozens of dogs are making their way from Indiana to New England in search of a new home, and animal advocates hope the trek will catch the attention of state lawmakers.
The CanINE Express Transport Project transports unwanted pets from central Indiana to places like Vermont and New Hampshire, Call 6 Investigator Kara Kenney reported.
Kenney has exposed the city's horrible animal overpopulation problem for several years.
"In New England over the past 20 years, they've spayed and neutered so well their shelters are in need of well socialized healthy dogs," said Cathi Eagan, organizer for CanINE Express Transport.
Thursday, animal advocates gathered animals from 15 shelters before heading north.
The project is in its 10th year with more than 9,000 animals already transported.
It's a monthly, grueling 2,200 mile trek in three days.
Eagan said every time, she comes back to cages that are full once again.
"(Animal overpopulation) is costly to our state, it's costly to our city governments to have to run these shelters all the time," said Eagan.
Organizers hope to get the attention of state lawmakers to get tougher spay/neuter laws passed, similar to legislation already in place in much of the northeast.
"This year will be the fourth year we're trying to get the bill through, and it will be introduced in the next couple of months so we will be out there trying to get our legislators to pass it this year," said Eagan.
The dogs transported are the lucky ones, because they are not among the thousands killed due to lack of space at city shelters.
"My hope is one day we're the ones shipping animals in because we have too few, but for now I'd just be happy if everyone would realize the benefits of spay and neuter," said Dawn Contos, spokeswoman for Indianapolis Animal Care and Control "In the summer, there's a lot more euthanizing for space because there's a lot more animals out and about."
According to the October kennel statistics report for Indianapolis Animal Care and Control, the shelter took in 1,388 animals, and 680 were euthanized.
Animal advocates would like legislation that establishes a fund for people who can't afford spay/neuter surgery.
"My ultimate dream is I don't have to drive this transport anymore," said Eagan. "We'll get there. We'll get there."

So here's an awkward compromise.
At least this is free. We suggest putting your icons on the grey area.

Dammit, man, you have nearly 10,000 followers on Twitter, you could've been raking it in if you'd put the word out there! You could be the CEO of a successful calendar publishing business by now, and have photographs of yourself taken in front of a marbled backdrop. Which a rival Executive Photography Blog would post up, for the merriment of its readership. You could monetise this blue-sky concept! Maybe!
Or you could end up with one in the living room, bedroom, bathroom and study... with a box in the garage.

So, are we going to get the later months at some point? Builds, month by month, to a complete (and by then obsolete) 2011 calendar!
Opinion in the office here is it's a shame the new one doesn't have the comedy dates like last years.

But Why Did We Need a Wheel Anyway?
Yeah, you know, because feet worked just fine… and besides wheels lead to roads, and horses, and cars, and traffic accidents, and… see? There's my point. Too much trouble. Roll back the clock and let's just stick with feet.
There, that's so much easier. Right?
And with all that blathering, the point is that I'm trying something new today… blogging from the most underused piece of technology in our house -the iPad. Yeah, you know, that thing I really wanted worse than almost anything? That thing that seemed too perfect?
That thing that is… well, not so much.
Yeah, you read that right, not. so. much.
Yes, the cool factor is off the charts. I will also concede that tablets and portability are where computing is going. But, as much as it pains me to say this, I really really like my 24 inch monitor and my fairly souped-up CPU still works very well so neither of them will be moving out any time soon. Further, photoshopping on a little bitty screen just doesn't work for old people like me. And Apple isn't making these things with the built-in magnifying screens like the Boomer- friendly folks at Samsung. Oh hell to the no! I've just got to squint and hope for the best.
And before you say it, I'm well aware that this is some majorly shocking luddite talk from the Queen of Newer/Faster/Better. I almost think I need to surrender 25 Klout points just for typing that first section.
But I won't… because I'm an influencer… I could single-handedly bring back the first century BC with this one post. And seriously, I always did admire the fashion sense of Wilma & Betty. But I do need ya'll to be truthful, does this lion skin make my butt look big?
Oh, hello tangent! Funny how I end up running into you whenever I start scribbling.
Anyway, yes, we do use the iPad, but not that much. It's shiny and cool to look at, it's easy to read books on and play games on too. But for the heavy lifting, or the moderately strenuous writing and homework? Not my go-to piece of tech.
Not even close.
And because of that I do feel somewhat guilty, and like perhaps I need iPad lessons so I can learn to love it like everyone else does. Unless, maybe I'm finally just stating the simple truth for a lot of iPad users. Maybe I'm the one who is actually brave enough to say what everyone else is thinking?
"Hey Mister! You ain't got on any clothes! And by the way… this iPad thingy? It's not so much."
I don't know. Maybe.

Prolimatech could have made a special cooler for the GeForce GTX Titan graphics card, like EK (waterblock) and EVGA did, among others.
The company decided that wasn't enough though. That is why, instead of a single-purpose cooler, it has launched a high-end heatsink that works on most high-end cards.
That's right, this isn't a normal cooler. It is a heatsink, a huge, black anodized aluminum fin array (dual aluminum fin-stack) with six heatpipes and a nickel-plated copper block.
Two 140mm can be attached if owners really want to do so, but the individual heatsinks for VRM and memory components should make them unnecessary.
Prolimatech ships the MK-26 with a tube of RIM (thermal interface material) and thermal pads.
The MK-26 Black Series has not been given a price or availability date yet.

You can also talk to the Trumpington Community Orchard about the wildlife benefits of planting a couple of apple trees, and they will even have a selected of grafted local varieties for sale. Just outside the marquee, look out for the demonstration bee hive and chat to Richard and Bill about just how important bees are to crop pollination. Rumour has it they will even have a very limited number of jars of Botanic Garden honey for sale!

Taking a quick break from our usual fare of AsAm dad sports injuries, I thought I'd wrap up our Blogaversary Children's Book Review Contest by announcing our winners and prizes.
First, thanks to our reviewers: Honglien123, Naomi Shapiro, Kim, Mommy de Gallo, Rachel, Stephanie, Christina Williams, Superha, Kerri Aldrich, Carol, eliaday, and peachboy. It was great to read about your childhood favorites and why you want to share them with your kids, to discover some new finds and be reminded of old favorites.
So, who won? Thanks to the generosity of Kane/Miller Book Publishers—everybody! Each of our reviewers will receive a different book (selected at random) from the following list of twelve titles from Kane/Miller's catalog of children's books originally published in Asian countries:
My Cat Copies Me (S. Korea)
New Clothes for New Year's Day (S. Korea)
The Zoo (S. Korea)
While We Were Out (S. Korea)
Yellow Umbrella (S. Korea)
The Story of Cherry the Pig (Japan)
Who's Hiding? (Japan)
Happy Birthday Coco (Japan)
Singing Shijimi Clams (Japan)
Guji Guji (Taiwan)
The Mats (Philippines)
Kali and the Rat Snake (India)
See? Everybody got something! Don't you wish you had entered? And another thing—you know we love our mommy readers, but yo, where my daddies at? Props to Peachboy for stepping up—what, the rest of y'all don't read to your kids? Heh. Show me up next time, okay?
Anyway, all our winners are invited to send us a review of the book they won for posting here on Rice Daddies. We hope you and your kids enjoy your books. And of course, i can't end this without giving an extra-special shout-out to Sondra LaBrie, Kane/Miller's marketing manager, without whom this wouldn't have happened. Or, it could've happened, you just wouldn't have actually won anything. Heh. Thanks, Sondra!
Okay, back to our regularly scheduled programming....

Blue Light Open Source Service and Research Centre
What's it all about?
Because in Auroville's charter it is stated, "Auroville belongs to humanity as a whole" we seek how to manifest this ideal in our daily lives. In the field of information technology, Free Open Source Software provides opportunities to explore this ideal. For those of us who make Auroville our home, it is natural to find a kindred vibration between the ideals of Auroville and the ideals of Free Open Source Software. We care about community, collaboration and research – without money being the sovereign lord.
There's a real need in Auroville for computer software and reliable support and Blue Light is providing it. We believe Free Open Source Software offers some of the best solutions because of its ease of deployment, financial cost (zero for licences), integrity, quality, robustness and security.
For Auroville there's another, even more powerful, reason to migrate. Free Open Source Software is community-driven software developed by diverse individuals pooling their knowledge to create something better to be shared by all. This software helps people develop their skills and community without being hampered by legal or financial restrictions.
Five years ago, when Blue Light was set up, we needed to develop skills, technologies and procedures. We focussed on four areas:
Five years on, how does it look?

Home > Education > Schools in Auroville for Village children > New Creation
New Creation is a quite unique place in Auroville. It was founded amidst humble beginnings in 1983 by a French man who arrived in Auroville in 1973. Soon after, André and his Tamil wife Babu began New Creation School in 1978. The couple slowly expanded the capacity for education after recognising the still very squalid, often violent nature of the villages to which these children belonged.
True education has to unfold and reveal what is already present in the children; they open themselves in joy just like flowers open themselves to the sun.
Aikiyam School
Formally New Creation Bilingual School, catering to more than 200 village children is also located in the New Creation compound.

We have an attractive, clean and functional facility with
elevated tubs where your dog is tethered. This allows you
to use both hands and eliminates back strain. We know how
difficult it is to bathe a dog at home-it's torture on
your back, the dog won't sit still, and the bathroom is
covered in water and dog hair. And to celebrate the end,
Fido runs around the house 90 miles an hour drying off
on the furniture. If this scenario sounds familiar, check
us out.
We outfit you with a rubber smock; provide shampoo and
conditioner, grooming tools, towel, and a forced air blow
dryer. We do the cleaning. You're welcome to clip your
dog at one of the grooming stations, however we ask that
you bring your own clippers or purchase them at the store
as they are not available for use.
No appointment is necessary. Tubs are available on a first
come, first serve basis. Weekends are busy and you can
usually expect a short wait. If you would rather avoid
the crowd, come in on a weekday.
Cost is based on the weight of your dog and the length
or type of the dog's coat. At the bottom of the scale we
start with 5lb close coated dogs (i.e. Chihuahua) at $11
and at the top we have 150lb double coated dogs (i.e. Akita)
at $20. Everyone else falls somewhere in between.

Hurricane Sandy prompts closures, erosion concerns
Lake Worth pier already closed through the weekend
LAKE WORTH, Fla. - Gusty winds are kicking up the surf across Palm Beach County, prompting Lake Worth to close its pier. By Wednesday evening gusts near 30 miles per hour created waves too dangerous to swim in.
A city crew pulled up plans on the pier to protect it. It's no match for the 12-15 foot waves anticipated over the next few days.
"These panels are made to come up so they don't break the cement. We're flipping them to prevent them from falling in and us having to chase them down to rebuild them," says Scott Sanders, a facilities supervisor with the City of Lake Worth.
The pier shut down at 2 p.m. forcing fishermen like Victor Truong off of it.
"I like it, it's kind of windy. But it's also a bummer," says Truong.
"This is really cool, being from Iowa it's really neat to see this," says Abigail Hughes.
It may be neat to see, but the wind and waves are dangerous to swim in, hence the double red flags. It's also a threat to our beaches, some of which are already disappearing.
"When the storm gets north of us it generates a large swell and that chews up the beach a lot," says Palm Beach County Ocean Rescue Lt. Brian McManus.
He adds the erosion can also pose a problem for swimmers.
"Be careful with erosion, all of a sudden there's rocks where there wasn't, because there isn't sand anymore," says McManus.
The city estimates the Lake Worth pier will be back open on Monday.

Former principal Mike Moore, who retired last year, was the overwhelming choice of the Class of 2010 for the adult speaker.
Principal Mike Melton, new to Hillview this year, spoke, then presented the eighth-graders to their core teachers, who presented the diplomas.
The four students chosen as graduation speakers to represent their class were Evelyn Vaughan, Kindle Van Linge, Scott Crowe and Annalise Deal.
The Hillview Concert Band, directed by Richard Vaughan, performed a pre-ceremony concert and the traditional processional, "Pomp and Circumstance," and the recessional, "Legacy March."
For the 24th consecutive year, the Jeff Sorrells Memorial Award, a $2,000 scholarship, was presented to an eighth-grader. Mathew Gichane-Bell, the winner this year, will use the college scholarship in four years upon graduation from high school. This award was established by the Sorrells family in honor of their son, who was a student at Hillview.
A reception for graduates and guests was hosted by the seventh-grade parents immediately after the ceremony, then the graduates celebrated at the traditional grad night party, sponsored by their parents and held in the school's multi-use room.

Quick: What does search and social marketing conference SES San Francisco have in common with moustaches? It's … not actually a riddle. We were kinda hoping you would know.
Here's the deal: We have an extra all-access pass to SES and want to give it to you (provided you can, you know, get there on your own and not starve and have a place to stay and stuff).
How to win a ticket to SES San Francisco
All you have to do to get the ticket is find Raven Tools on Facebook, check out the SES Giveaway tab and tell us whether you would be attending SES with a moustache* or not. Kind of like these hip folks.
The only catch to play is that you can't already be registered for SES. The answer that makes us laugh the most wins the ticket.
Frequently asked questions
We'll now answer some questions you might be asking yourself right about now:
Q) Huh? What the hell kind of contest is this?
A) Just go with it. Jon made it up. The conference is totally worth it.
Q) But Raven, what if I am a lady?
A) No matter! See above photo. This is a look that has potential for you.
Q) This is a big decision. How long do I have to consider it?
A) Not very long! The deadline to enter is 1 pm. EDT on Friday, July 29th. We'll notify the lucky winner Friday afternoon!
Now, this conference is awesome, and the pass is worth more than $2,500 (!) so you're gonna wanna bring your A-game to our moustache party.
If you wanted to post pics on our Facebook wall, we wouldn't be opposed to that. (Though the power of Facebook compels us to note that this is not an official part of the contest.) We just want a good home for our ticket, and a cheap laugh.
*If you don't have a ready list of moustache types in your head, here is a helpful starter list.

Man Sought In Attempted Holdup At Family Dollar Store
Brett Blume January 23, 2013 1:07 PM
ST. LOUIS (KMOX) – It happened last Friday — a man walked into the Family Dollar store in the 3700 block of Dr. Martin Luther King and announced a robbery.
He flashed a weapon and demanded cash from the clerk.
But when the register wouldn't open, the man fled empty-handed.
He's described as a black male, 25 to 30 years of age, 5'10" to 6′ tall, 160 to 180 pounds.
He fled in a green SUV, with what appeared to be a spare tire on the right front.

RSSDI to host campaign on Insulin Injection Day
RSSDI Kolkata and the Forum for Injection Technique (FIT) India on Thursday announced an awareness campaign on Insulin Injection Day.
An invention by the Toronto General Hospital on Jan 11, 1922 changed the lives of millions living with Diabetes and revolutionized its management, particularly Type I diabetes.
Observing this innovation in India, RSSDI Kolkata and FIT India planned a campaign on Insulin Injection Day, organizing training workshops, plenary lectures on Insulin injection techniques for more than 100 nurses and diabetes educators in Kolkata later this week.
RSSDI Kolkata informed that in West Bengal, the prevalence of diabetes is between 3.5 percent - 5.7 percent with the districts Howrah (13.2%), Kolkata (12%) and Burdwan (8.7%) having the highest prevalence of the disease.
Subhankar Chowdhury, Head, Department of Endocrinology, IPGME&R and S.S.K.M. Hospital, Kolkata and FIT Advisory Member said, "Insulin remains a critical component of treatment of Diabetes, not only type I but also in many cases of Type II."
Chowdhury said, "At present injection remains the only practical means to deliver insulin. It is a welcome move that a day has been dedicated to deliberate on Insulin Injection by FIT. This should have a favorable impact on the acceptance of insulin injection among both physicians and patients."
According to the officials, counseling elderly or geriatric patients for self-injection can be a challenging task.
Unlike their younger peers, they may have certain age related potential difficulty in executing the instructions for injections properly, the officials warned.
The FIT recommendations suggest that physicians should not use age as an excuse to avoid usage of insulin, which can delay the treatment and result in further complications.
Along with insulin initiation for elderly patients, healthcare providers must ensure the involvement of responsible family members/attendants during the selection of insulin and explanation of injection technique, the officials said.
According to Apurba Mukherjee, Head, Department of Medicine, R.G.Kar Medical College & Hospital, and Chairman - RSSDI, West Bengal Chapter, "As per latest survey, more than 30 percent of diabetic patients in the city do not adhere to appropriate insulin treatment practices and 20 percent do not know about right injection techniques."
"As insulin treatment is vital for blood glucose control, inappropriate injection skills compromise the dosage accuracy and its effectiveness. Moreover, it may also lead to pain with bleeding and a risk of contamination," Mukherjee added.
Chowdhury said, "FIT India is dedicated to raising awareness on correct injection practices for effective and safe diabetes therapy, management and compliance."
He noted, "In the past year, FIT has launched the first ever India-specific clinical recommendations for appropriate insulin injection techniques with an aim to bring uniformity in insulin injection technique throughout the country and help impart the right education to both healthcare providers and people living with diabetes."
A scientific advisory board of well-known endocrinologists and diabetes experts compiled the FIT India recommendations based on clinical evidence, implications for patient therapy and the judgment of a group of experts in order to promote best practices in injection technique and bring uniformity in insulin injection technique diabetes patients and healthcare professionals.
According to Nilanjan Sengupta, Associate Professor & Head, Department of Endocrinology, N.R.S. Medical College & Hospital, "30 percent of people have psychological resistance to initiate insulin therapy despite it being indispensable for glycemic control to manage the disease."
Sengupta said, "The recommendations by FIT India have been immensely helpful in optimizing insulin injection technique for both healthcare workers and patients and have improved the overall acceptance of insulin delivery and injections."
Several factors, including the method of administration, dosing, compliance, selection of injection site, the depth of the injection, time lapse before withdrawing the needle and misconceptions about insulin therapy, influence the success of insulin injection therapy, the officials informed.
In November 2012 Forum for Injection Techniques (FIT India) and BD India had come together to launch the first Indian clinical recommendations for best practices in insulin injection techniques in India.

Monarchy. It's an internationally celebrated institution and in the UK, many regard it as what puts the 'Great' into Great Britain. Despite the Monarchy's profound popularity and the many political and cultural advantages it offers, there are a few (and we mean a few) who advocate a republican Great Britain.
Monarchy has so much to offer to this country and indeed many other countries. Let's first start by countering some classic republican arguments.
Firstly, the main motive of republicans is the aversion to an unelected head of state. Naturally, their proposed alternative is that the UK should have an elected head of state, which is fine for most countries, but not the UK. The immediate danger with having a President is politicising the office of Head of State. It is a fundamental belief of many that Heads of State should be politically neutral and have no vested interests in politics. A Monarchy offers not only an impartial head of state but also one that is above politics, i.e. the office of Sovereign stays very much out of party politics. In the words of Victorian Constitutional expert Walter Bagehot, "a parliamentary system [like Britain's] educates the public, while a presidential system corrupts it."
Continuity is another thing Monarchy offers to a country. Whereas the Prime Minister of the UK changes every 5 years now, the Monarch reigns usually over decades – continuity is very important, especially in a system where occupants of offices rarely stay the same.
Monarchy adds colour to the nation too. One of the most talked about things to do with the UK is our Monarchy, when people come to the United Kingdom, they're not interested in seeing where the Chancellor lives or finding out the number of offices the Prime Minister's staff have but in fact where our Queen lives and how guards stand so still. It's a simple fact that without the Monarchy, the UK would be just another country.
Annual celebrations such as The Queen's official birthday also give the UK a well needed boost, if there's one thing the UK does better than any country in the world it's tradition, and where do all the UK's most famous traditions stem from… that's right – Monarchy.
Political neutrality, continuity, colour and celebrations are one thing but what Republicans really get fired up about is the supposed 'outrageous cost of maintaining the Monarchy', well for any who wish to know more on this, we refer you to our article on The True Cost Of The Monarchy. But to summarise, the Monarchy makes profit for the country and despite all the republican outrage, our taxes would go up without the Monarchy, not down. And as for security costs which Republicans claim are so astronomically high, would a President be any different? Assuming you republicans wouldn't want your President harmed while in office!
And really, would the UK be the same without its Monarchy – it wouldn't even be called the UK if a republic, does the 'United Republic' [UR] sound right to you?
This article is essentially just kicking into touch any Republican arguments, for there is no fear of the Monarchy leaving any time soon. At the last poll at the time of the Diamond Jubilee, only 13% of people in the UK were in favour of becoming a republic, 80% supported the Monarchy and 7% weren't sure.
At its lowest point in recent years, the highest figure for republicans in the UK was at 22% during 2005 when feeling towards Prince Charles's new wife, the then Camilla Parker-Bowles were at an all time low. Even during the unsettling times, the UK stands by its Monarchy as we're sure it will for hopefully centuries to come!

Do you have any thoughts on the points raised in this article? Do you have any more to add? Feel free to do so in the comments box below.
Republicans want to get rid of the monarchy, but are conflicted on what type of republic they want. Many appear to be looking at the Irish government as a model for the UK. But under that system, the Irish President is basically an elected version of the UK monarchy – with many ceremonial/formal powers like appointing the prime minister, signing bills into law, bring head of the armed forces, etc. The only real difference is the lack of color and extensive ceremony with the President.
The other republican model is that of the USA. But under that model, an elected president is as powerful – if not more powerful – than an unelected monarch. Some republicans are uncomfortable with such power in the hands of one person because it smacks on monarchy. In fact, it's been said the the US president can be considered an elective monarch, since some of his powers (particularly as head of the armed forces) are like those of a king.
Given the two models, it seems that the UK stands to gain little from becoming a republic. Also, as you said, any head of state costs money one way or another. Here in the USA, our president costs 20 times more than the monarchy, according to the following report – and even with the security costs which republicans like to add to the official cost of the monarchy, the American presidency still costs vastly more than the British monarchy.
Remember, the US president and UK monarchy have large national and international profiles, so it's expected that a good sum of money will be spent to project such profiles.
Also, here are come articles about the cost of the presidency of the French Republic
So, the UK monarchy does give value for money compared to some of its contemporaries. If the issues concerning republicans ultimately come down to cost, they are getting a bargain with the monarchy (and that's not counting the fact that most of the Crown revenues go to the Treasury).
I have always thought the British system of government was the best in the world. Prime Ministers come and go but the monarch serves for life. You just have to compare the stability and majesty of the British system to the constant upheavals and corruption stories in the nation right across the English Channel. France, on its Fifth Republic will always be a symbol of instability and revolution. Actually, since the early days of the Third Republic corruption was found up to the gilded halls of the Elysee Palace. Thank God Britain has kept its heritage and traditions intact;she would not want to become another sleaxy republic a la francaise!
no republic,long live the queen……………
Monarchy is Great British identity and very much loved and supported by British people. Queen Elizabeth life is dedicated to her people and her country. She is an archetype of pure strength and wisdom, an inspiration to all who value great diplomacy, clear judgment, sharp intellect and deep love for her people, charities and community. I believe British monarchy will have a different outlook in the future but they will always have a great influence and power to make this World a better place. Please let us not forget Princess Diana's charity work for all people and children of the World ! Her Princes are following her footsteps and with Britain being incredibly multicultural and ethnically diverse by each day, they can only enhance our society and services with their experience, wealth of knowledge and influence. The World is changing so quickly for the better with lens on Royals welcoming Katherine now Duchess of Cambridge into the family and she will become the first Queen of non-royal descent, new polices are in place such as same gender marriage, admirable decisions of political leaders not to create another war in Syria and empowerment of black people across the World by having a first black President of USA. People of Great Britain are loyal loving royalist and suggestion of royal election is an insult to their identity.
Really weak arguments for a monarchy. Example 'UR – does that sound right to you?' Actually people would get used to it in a few days… Monarchy has so much to offer.. Such as? Nothing. They have no power. They live a privileged lifestyle wanting for nothing while normal people suffer. If we had no monarchy how would my life change? It would have no effect at all except maybe I'd pay less tax. Oh, and the often quoted argument about tourists. They never meet or see the queen – they have a look at the palaces whilst they are here – sure – we can keep them. Why are the Royal family so popular? Because they have 24/7 positive coverage on all media with barely a squeak of criticism tolerated. They are outdated, Elitist, underworked, grossly overpaid, not even from this country, they hate the public (see video of Prince Phillip saying he would like to exterminate humans – not surprising given his Nazi past) and irrelevant but they will stay because people have been brainwashed to believe they serve a purpose.
Why fix something that isn't broken?
Because the queen and her kids drain 202M pounds of the people's money every year once travel costs, expenses, salary etc are counted. In the mean time 2.1M Brits are out of a job, public spending is taking massive cuts. Policemen, firemen, nurses, teachers are being paid a median wage of 25k pounds a year while the monarchy is directly receiving 15% of all money collected by the Crown Estate, about 38M pounds this year (2014). Maybe next time there is a fire, the queen can come with a hose. So really there is something broken here.

Britney Spears' former manager and current boyfriend Jason Trawick has accused the star of having a serious case Styleitis — the kind that involves not showering, not washing her clothes, and according to earlier photos, not washing her hair.
One source close to the couple described her dirty ways:
"Britney isn't the type to cover herself in pretty smelling lotions. She hates washing her hair, so sometimes it can smell downright sour. She'll sometimes grab an outfit and wear it two or three times in a week. Thankfully she's trying more now because even she knows you couldn't think of a more embarrassing reason for a relationship to break down."
All we can say is "ew." You would think being a celebrity and having multiple wardrobes at your disposal would help you avoid becoming a lazy slob. But alas, this isn't the first un-showered celebrity we've seen around.
