LEDGO 160 LED Bi-Color On-Camera Video Light
Portable location lighting with accurate color representation.
The LEDGO 160 LED Bi-Color On-Camera Video Light has raised the bar for portable location lighting. With a 90+ CRI rating, unparalleled light output and an interlocking modular design, the LEDGO 160 allows you to customize your light source to fit your needs.
Lights with a low CRI (Color Rendering Index) rating can leave you with dull colors and poor contrast, but the high CRI of the LEDGO line of lights means you will always get accurate color representation. The modular design of these panels lets you connect as many lights together as you need, meaning you can string your lights together to create a long bank, or combine them together to form a large block.
The LEDGO 160 may be small, but with 1,180 lumens producing 1,980 Lux at 1 meter, it is anything but dim! Use this light on-camera with the included hotshoe mount, or place it off to the side for a directional fill. The LEDGO 160 is perfect for interviews, wedding receptions, macro photography and more. The Bi-Color feature lets you adjust the color temperature from 3200K to 5600K and anywhere in between, allowing you to match the color of your lights to the ambient light.
In addition, the LEDGO 160 comes with two diffuser filters (soft and extra soft) and one blue color filter for adjusting the color temperature up to 7500K. It runs on 6x AA batteries (alkaline or Ni-MH rechargeable, not included) one Sony NP-FH, NP-FM or NP-F series battery (not included), or one Panasonic CGR-D series battery (not included). It can also be powered by a 7.2V-12V DC power supply (not included). Comes with a soft zippered carrying case.

Rant: Let nouns be nouns. Verbs, adverbs and adjectives too
Dear people who use words indiscriminately,
Please do not coin words because your vocabulary fails you. There is language enough. Connect is a verb. Do not use it as a noun. There is a word, connection. 'Operationalise' is stupid whether you spell it with an ess or a zed.
There is a word, terror; there is a word, terrify. Wherefore terrorise (with an ess or a zed)?
Thank you.

This post was terrifible.
Perhaps because they are in a terrible hurry? Actually I have no quibbles against how people pronounce words. To each their own orthoepy, I say.
You pipped me to the post, CCG. I am terribly miffed.
'terrify' reminds me, why do people confuse 'terrible' and 'terrific'?

Social Responsibilities:
Career Guidance Camp:
Prayas, the Social Responsibility Committee of MDI Murshidabad, had contributed to the youth of Don Bosco School, Monigram, on the occasion of Career Guidance Camp on 6th February 2017. Children who are deprived of the basic necessities and who belong to the underprivileged families were provided with basic educational stationeries to motivate them to grow and become better citizens of the society. High School students were propelled to build shining career in their respective fields.
Blood Donation Camp :
If you feel desolated when the most popular blood bank organization denies you blood at the hour of need, Jangipur populace could be the most empathetic towards you.They face this miserable situation customarily. The CSR committee of MDI Murshidabad felt they could appease the situation to some extent. A blood donation camp was organized on 17th of December,2015 on the campus of MDI Murshidabad. The social cause was also supported by the Jangipur BDO, by honouring the occasion as the Chief Guest. It was overwhelming to see students, staffs and faculties participate the event with zeal and enthusiasm. We could measure the success of the event by the will power of those people who came to donate blood but could not, due to indisposition.
Education Awareness Camp:
Our life at MDI Murshidabad is normally hectic and monotonic. Every day we are packed with lectures, quizzes, assignments, development activities etc. Fortunately we, the CSR team got a wonderful opportunity to break the prosaicness. It was a social welfare activity in the form of Education Awareness Campaign arranged by our mentor Dr. Niharikan Gaan in collaboration with NGO Charsha which is primarily into rural primary School Ambidexterity Mission located at Chandni Chaukhat, Jangipur, West Bengal.Our activity began by addressing the parents and guardians of the children. We were six people namely Ajay Kumar, Kunal Dhage, Surender Khangwal, Shubhro Chakravarty, Vatsal Sharma and myself Nishat Alam Choudhury. We gave a short demonstration on the benefits of education. We even enlightened them with all the scholarship schemes and educational loan plans available. Unsurprisingly they looked far from convinced. They shared their grievances. I felt with pity and grief when I learnt how the children lived the day. All they could do in their leisure was to roll out making of bidis to add revenue to their family occupation which seems to be minuscule. In reality, the situation apparently looks grim with education being considered secondary. They usually study in their leisure hours. We tried our best to instil some hope among parents to let their children study beyond matriculation as opposed to their current trend. Convincing them had posed insurmountable challenges. However, the best part could be achieved when we interacted with the students. This interaction session was organized by school principal in order to showcase their school children. We were awestruck to find those little gems reciting beautiful poems. To our delight the poems were not just in Bengali, but in Hindi and English also. We gave each of them chocolates and biscuits as a token of encouragement. We lit up their spirits so that someday they make the nation a better place to live in.

SparkFun Arduino Pro 328 5V/16Mhz
- approx. 9–11 days
Currently > 5 piece(s) in stock at the supplier
If ordered immediately.
Information subject to change.
If ordered immediately.
Information subject to change.
It's blue! It's skinny! It's the Arduino Pro! SparkFun's minimal
design approach to Arduino. This is a 5V Arduino running the 16MHz
bootloader in a super-sleek form factor that will fit easily into your
next small project.
Arduino Pro does not come with connectors populated so that you can
solder in any connector or wire with any orientation you need. We
recommend first time Arduino users start with the Uno R3. It's a great
board that will get you up and running quickly. The Arduino Pro series
is meant for users that understand the limitations of this lack of
connectors and USB off board.
To keep things affordable and low profile, we've chosen to make the
DC power jack footprint available, but not to populate it. We
recommend running the board with a LiPo battery for better
portability. Also, to keep the cost low, we made changes like using
all SMD components and switching to a two layer PCB.
This board connects directly to the FTDI Basic Breakout board and
supports auto-reset. The Arduino Pro also works with the FTDI cable
but the FTDI cable does not bring out the DTR pin so the auto-reset
feature will not work. In this latest version of the Arduino Pro we've
also moved the FTDI headers back just a skoach so that the pins don't
hang over the edge of the board. We've also populated it with a
sturdier power selection switch.
Note: A portion of this sale is given back to Arduino LLC to help fund
continued development of new tools and new IDE features.
* ATmega328 running at 16MHz external resonator
* USB connection off board
* 5V regulator
* Max 150mA output
* Over current protected
* Reverse polarity protected
* DC input 5V up to 12V
* Resettable fuse prevents damage to board in case of short

South Korea and Russia played out a score draw in their Group H encounter on Tuesday evening. An upbeat second half overshadowed a disappointing first half as Lee Keun-ho's opener was cancelled out just over five minutes later by Aleksandr Kerzhakov who finished for a deserved Russian goal.
The first half in this one was anything other than a classic with chances limited to speculative long range efforts early on. The majority of the efforts in the opening half hour came from set pieces with Ignashev forcing Jung into a good save.
Minutes later is was time for the Koreans to have an effort of their own as Koo saw his shot deflected, although it appeared as if had it not been charged down it would have nestled nicely into the Russian net.
Just seconds into the second half Victor Fayzulin unleashed a 30 yard strike that the South Korean keeper was forced to tip around the post.
Not long after Koo decided that he would follow Fayzulin's shot with one of his own from similar distance and also one that yielded a similar outcome.
The game's first goal eventually did come with just over twenty minutes to go in the contest courtesy of a goalkeeping howler. South Korean substitute was not even on the pitch 15 minutes when his hopeful 25 yard drive looked to be heading into the arms of Akinfeev. That was not what did end up happening as Akineev ended up flapping at the catch and only managed to bundle the ball over the line in what should have been a routine save.
Russia did get an equaliser not too long after as Kerzhakov smashed home yet another substitute inspired goal from inside the six yard box after the South Koreans had failed to clear the ball during a game of ping pong in the penalty area.
After Fabio Capello's side did get their goal many would have expected them to push on and look for a winner but instead they went back to playing like they had in the first half. An uninspiring finish to a game that will have left the neutrals with mixed emotions.
Russia: Igor Akinfeev, Sergei Ignashevic, Vasili Berezutski, Dimitri Kombarov, Andrey Yeshchenko; Denis Glushakov (Igor Denisov 72), Victor Fayzulin, Oleg Shatov, Yuri Zhirkov; (Alexsandr Kerzhakov 71), Aleksandr Samedov, Alexsandr Kokorin.

Gareth is the Editor of Extratime.ie. Gareth began as a normal reporter covering games all over Dublin before being asked to help out with behind the scene activities and eventually moving into the role of Editor prior to the start of the 2016 season. Some have said this was a seemless transition taking over from our owner and chief who shares the same great name.

 Gareth has covered many games both male and female and even has experience covering underage tournaments such as the Galway Cup. Gareth has also attended many high profile internationals such as Ireland's famous win over Germany back in 2015. Where were you when Shane Long put the ball in the Germans net?

 Gareth also had the pleasure of being part of the Extratime Team that traveled to France in the summer of 2016 to cover the European Championships. A truly memorable experience.

 Today, Gareth isn't seen in as many press boxes as he once was as his time is mostly spent locked in a dark room also known as Extratime HQ where he busily runs the madness that is Extratime's Friday nights operation. He will also upload many articles throughout the week while also dealing with the PRO's of League of Ireland clubs on a daily basis. Ongoing recruitment is also high on Gareth's list of roles and if you are interested in getting involved don't forget to e-mail him at email@example.com

Pender County Schools will likely grow by 2,750 students in the next 10 years
Pender County Schools will likely grow by 2,750 students in the next 10 years, and school officials are hoping a November bond referendum will move them toward the renovations needed to educate a growing population.
About a dozen people heard the details of a potential $75 million bond referendum at a public input meeting Monday at Trask High School.
Superintendent Terri Cobb told audience members that Pender County was the third-fastest growing community in North Carolina. That growth, combined with aging facilities, meant school officials felt like the district needed a bond referendum.
"These are good problems to have," Cobb said. "It doesn't seem like it, but I'm glad we have growth. People want to be here. They want to be in our schools."
The Pender County school board and Pender County Board of Commissioners voted in late June and early July to put the referendum on the November ballot.
The largest chunk of that referendum – $35 million – will go toward a new elementary and middle school in the Surf City and Topsail area. Those schools will serve about 600 students each and will share common spaces like Cape Fear Elementary and Cape Fear Middle. Adding those new schools would alleviate overcrowding in the area, Cobb said. Right now, all of the elementary and middle schools in the Topsail area are over capacity.
Penderlea will also receive a significant portion of the funds at $21.5 million. That will keep the school serving kindergarten through eighth-grade students, which has been a big sticking point for the Penderlea community throughout bond discussions.
That funding will renovate the existing Penderlea building, build a new 48,000-square-foot structure and increase the school's overall capacity to 600 to 650 students. Those renovations will include structural modifications, changes to make the building compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act and changes to align the building with the state Public School Facility guidelines, which governs schools' instructional requirements.
Several other schools also will receive smaller chunks of money.
Cape Fear Elementary and Middle will receive $7 million to add eight classrooms to each school and to increase communal cafeteria space. That will bring the capacity of both schools to 1,400 overall. Pender High School will receive $6 million to address building safety concerns, add offices and renovate the field house.
Burgaw Middle School will receive $3 million in renovations to add a 10,000-square-foot facility that will include science and band classrooms. West Pender Middle School will receive $2.5 million to add on classrooms.
One audience member asked why the bond referendum didn't include all schools, specifically Rocky Point Primary School. Cobb said that while Rocky Point Primary had concerns, they weren't as major as some of the others in the district.
Another asked what would happen if the bond referendum didn't pass. School board member Tom Roper said the district would likely alleviate overcrowding by putting students in mobile classrooms. He referenced the old versions of Pender High and Topsail High, noting that those schools had more than 1,000 students in buildings meant for 500 to 600 students.
"It was an infrastructure disaster," he said. "That's the cheapest alternative, to add mobile classroom settings, unless the county could come up with dollars to add smaller projects or smaller buildings."
The school district will hold two more public interest meetings, both at 6 p.m.: one Tuesday at Topsail High School and one Thursday at Pender High School. The county commissioners also will hear public input Aug. 4 and will vote on the final bond proposal Aug. 18.

Happy Birthday, Charles Darwin!
Posted by Jamal Wills at 17:36
RealClimate >> Happy Birthday, Charles Darwin!: "Charles Darwin was born on February 12, 1809. The events commemorating Darwin's birthday anniversary last Sunday, together with the recent conclusion of an important court case concerning the teaching of Intelligent Design (ID) in public schools prompts me to some musing concerning the relation of the Evolution/ID dialog to similar issues arising in connection with anthropogenic global warming. The age of the two theories is similar as well: Darwin introduced his theory in 1859, whereas Fourier initiated the study of the effect of atmospheres on climate with his 1821 treatise, stimulating the chain of developments leading to Arrhenius' enunciation in 1896 of the theory that human influences on the atmosphere's CO2 content could change the climate."

Goldenvoice & Das Bunker presents
Lords Of Acid
Combichrist, Christian Death, En Esch, Night Club
The Fonda Theatre
6126 Hollywood Blvd
Hollywood, CA, 90028
This event is all ages
Lords Of Acid
Belgian-American post-industrial/techno band founded in Antwerp in 1988. Lords Of Acid worked with various additional writers and musicians throughout the years.
Maurice Engelen, Nikkie Van Lierop and Oliver Adams were the main artists, with Rembert De Smet, Ferre Baelen, Ludo Camberlin, Jos Borremans, Harry Van Oekel, Luc Van Acker and Wim Daans among the contributors.
When Nikkie left the group, she was replaced by vocalist Ruth McArdle.
Later Deborah Ostrega took over vocal duties.
During summer 2010, the Lords Of Acid are back for an US Sextreme Ball tour with a new lineup : Maurice Engelen, Lacey Conner, Sin Quirin, Murv Douglas and Kirk Salvador.
In 2011, Mea Fisher becomes the new lead singer.
Combichrist was originally a side-project by Andy LaPlegua of the popular futurepop band Icon Of Coil and formerly of hardcore metal band Lash Out. However, since the disbandment of Icon Of Coil, Combichrist has become Andy's main focus. Combichrist has had much more success than many of the other acts emerging from the electronic underground and the band has become one of the dark electro scene's most popular live acts.
Originally (and, in the studio, still) a solo project, live performances began featuring Andy on vocals while someone else controlled the synths/laptop/etc. In 2005 or early 2006, the live line-up was expanded to incorporate live drums and live keys. As Combichrist's albums evolved from noise and techno into industrial and metal, the live line-up changed too and they became more of a band than a project. Initially, a guitarist was added (Abbey Nex, of Genitorturers, Psyclon 9, later Abbey Death), and then a bassist too. Combichrist have played live as a solo act, a duo, a trio, a four-, five- and six-piece live band, and once with a full orchestra behind them. The 2012 "Evolution" tour charted this musical progression, with band members taking to the stage one by one as each track demanded it, mimicking the history of Combichrist.
Although ostensibly now a full band, Andy does occasionally play "Old-School Electro Shows" focused on early Combichrist tracks. These are often him accompanied by one guest musician, as in the early shows - Joe Letz, Mr Petersen, Elliott Berlin, and Daniel Graves have all joined him on keys at various times. In April 2016 he played a very rare solo Combichrist show in LA, which was recorded and released as a bonus disc alongside This Is Where Death Begins.
Regularly featuring a drummer and a percussionist (at opposite sides of the stage, who will repeatedly throw sticks and even drums at each other), Combichrist's shows are energetic and lively, their members being showmen as well as talented musicians, with plenty of onstage interplay meaning you can watch any one of them and be entertained. Despite the live act (and official albums) crossing into hardcore metal and industrial, Andy has released a lot of bonus discs (mostly one per album) that still focus primarily on techno, house, and electro, mainly without vocals.
The roster of live members is currently Joe Letz (ex Genitorturers, ex Amen), Eric13 (Sex Slaves), Brent Ashley, Nick Rossi (New Year's Day). Past live members include Z_Marr (ex Hell Trash, now of
Death Rock band formed in October 1979 - Los Angeles, California.
Named as a satirical play on words derived from the designer brand 'Christian Dior', Christian Death was founded by vocalist Rozz Williams, bassist James McGearty, drummer George Belanger, and a guitarist named Jay brought in from a previous band Rozz had been in called Daucus Karota. The group went on hiatus briefly in 1981, but reformed that summer with Rikk Agnew replacing Jay on guitar. Their debut album - the death-rock classic Only Theatre Of Pain was released in March 1982.
Later that year, Agnew and Belanger had left the band and were replaced by Eva O and 'China' respectively. Eva O was soon replaced by Michael Montana, and by the end of the year the band had split once again.
In 1983, Williams formed a new band with members of Pompeii 99, a band that Christian Death had played some shows with just before they had split. This new group consisted of Rozz, Valor (2), Gitane Demone, David Glass & Constance Smith. Rozz wanted to bring back the Daucus Karota name for this new band, but Valor and his European record company convinced him to retain the name Christian Death. This line-up remained more or less constant for a couple of years, although there were some problems during that time that led to stress between the members. These problems came to a head in 1985, when Rozz left the band just before a European tour. Long before the band had recorded or played anywhere as Christian Death, and, just as they had decided to change the name of the band from Pompeii 99 to Christian Death, all members signed a partnership agreement. This made Rozz, David, Gitane and Valor "equal partners" both jointly and severally. The terms of the agreement provided articles which would oblige any member to forfeit their rights in and to the name in the event any member should not fulfil his or her obligations. This is what Rozz did when he left. The version of the band consisting of Valor, Gitane and David Glass relocated to England and continued to record and tour until 1988 when David decided to return to L.A. with his pregnant wife to settle down and be a parent, he signed off accordingly. A settlement agreement was signed, and, later, Gitane did the same. This thereby left Valor as the sole proprietor of the business from 1989 onwards.
Valor continued with numerous session musicians until 1991, when his second wife Maitri joined the project. This new version of the group combined dark heavy metal influences with Valor's classical forays and the Gothic rock for which Christian Death remains best known.
Around this same time, Rozz and Rikk Agnew had begun playing some reunion shows in the US also using the name Christian Death, Rozz also started recording new Christian Death material with his wife (and early C.D. member) Eva O. Valor threatened legal action, claiming that he owned the band name and most of Rozz's material ended up being released under the name Christian Death featuring Rozz Williams. This version of the group came to a close on April 1, 1998 when Rozz Williams committed suicide.
During 2006 various original members of the band including Rikk Agnew, Eva O and James McGearty reunited as Christian Death 1334, however due to copyright infringement issues the group had to change their name to CD 1334. They have since split up.
Valor and Maitri continue to record and tour as Christian Death.
En Esch, a.k.a. Nicklaus Schandelmaier or Klaus Schandelmaier, is a German musician and has been a member of the bands KMFDM, Pigface, and Slick Idiot.

Jaelynn went shopping in "Nanna's Quilt Shop" and picked out the fabric. Jaelynn sewed the squares together in rows and I sewed the rows together. I showed her how to sandwich it and pin it and she tied the quilt. We made the backing big enough to bring it around to the front and I sewed it down which completed it. She's so proud! I'm so proud of her! :D

Unanswered: So I should start using dataStudio?
Okay. Installed version 4.1.
Now I want to edit my JDBC connect string. My databases can only be accessed when a add "securityMechanism=13" to the connect string and I always like to add the application name to distinghuish my sessions in db2top.
Data Studio does not let me edit!
Why not? How can I adjust my JDBC connect string with the values I want?Somewhere between " too small" and " too large" lies the size that is just right.

DataStudio takes a lot of time to adjust.
It is bloated because eclipse is bloated, and the startup time is painful.
Other tools are available (I like dbvis) but DataStudio has more functionality particularly in large warehouse environments or with newer versions of db2.
To answer your question try the suggestion below (add connection property):
In 'Data Source Explorer'
right click your configured connection
then from context menu click 'Properties'
then click 'JDBC Connection Properties'
then click 'Optional'
in the Property field enter your property-name (SecurityMechanism)
in the Value field enter the property-value (13)
click Add
dismiss the dialog in the normal way
then reconnect...

The association between self-rated health (SRH) and mortality is well documented in the literature, but studies on the subject among young adults in Latin America are rare, as are those evaluating this association using repeated SRH measures, beyond the baseline measurement. This study aims to evaluate the association between SRH evaluated at three data collection stages and mortality.
Cox regression models were used to examine the association between SRH (Very good, Good, Fair/Poor) varying over time and mortality, over a 10year period, in a cohort of non-faculty civil servants at a public university in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (Pró-Saúde Study, n = 4009, men = 44.4%).
About 40% of the population changed their self-rating over the course of follow-up. After adjustment for self-reported physician-diagnosed chronic diseases and other covariates, men who reported "Fair/Poor" SRH showed relative hazard of death of 2.13 (CI95% 1.03-4.40) and women, 3.43 (CI95% 1.23-9.59), as compared with those who reported "Very good" SRH.
In a population of young adults, our findings reinforce the role of SRH as a predictor of mortality, even controlling for objective measures of health.
Self-rated health (SRH) is a subjective measure that is being used to monitor the health of various populations [1,2]. Although the factors taken into consideration by SRH are not yet totally understood, individual SRH seems to reflect a comprehensive perception of health which includes biological, psychological and social aspects unlikely to be grasped by external observers [1]. It can also express health behaviors, psychological and social well-being, trajectories in health over time, socio-economic conditions, and overall quality of life [3]. Symptoms such as chronic pain and fatigue are also pointed to as important elements that may influence SRH, while even sub-clinical dysfunctions unlikely to be diagnosed as medical conditions can be perceived by individuals and incorporated into their self-assessment [4].
The single item used to gauge SRH – commonly implemented by the question "In general, how would you rate your health?" – has attracted health researchers' attention because it is easy to answer [2] and low-cost [5], but especially due to the accumulated evidence of its association with morbidity [6], health service utilization [1,5], socio-demographic indicators such as age, sex and education [7] and, most importantly, mortality [8-10].
A number of studies evaluating population groups in various countries for varying follow-up periods have found that respondents who perceived themselves to be in poor health display hazard of mortality 2 to 7 times greater than those who perceived their health to be excellent, even after adjustment for diseases and other important health conditions [2,8,9]. A dose–response pattern is also observed by Likert-type scale response options (for example, Very good, Good, Fair, Poor or Very Poor), with the likelihood of death increasing gradually towards the "Very Poor" response category [8,9,11].
Although the relationship between SRH and mortality is well documented in the literature, most studies have evaluated SRH at only one point in time, generally at the study baseline [10-13]. However, SRH is expected to vary over the course of cohort follow-up [14-16], and these changes must be incorporated into the analyses, because worsening SRH is an important predictor of mortality [15].
There are many issues that give good reason for studying the association between SRH and mortality in our specific cultural context. First, there are few studies on such relationship arising from Brazil, a country with a different socioeconomic profile as compared to most developed countries where the majority of reports on the relationship between SRH and mortality comes from. The three existing studies have investigated the association only in populations over 60years of age and used only one measure of SRH, taken at the baseline [17-19]. Second, the pattern of mortality by age and cause and the profile of response to the SRH question are quite diverse; both might per se contribute to a different pattern of association between SRH and mortality. Finally, there are recognized cultural differences in SRH classification [20], which also might alter the relationship between SRH and mortality in different contexts. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between SRH reported at three data collection stages and mortality, over a period of 10years, among a cohort of non-faculty civil servants at a public university in Rio de Janeiro.
This study draws on a longitudinal prospective study of non-faculty civil servants at a university in Rio de Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (the Pró-Saúde study), directed mainly to investigating social determinants of health outcomes.
At stage 1 of the study (1999), all regular employees in technical administrative positions were considered eligible, except those who had retired, were on leave of absence, had been dismissed or seconded to other institutions (N = 4030, 91% of the eligible population). The analyses presented here include all employees participating in stage 1 with valid responses to the question on SRH (N = 4009). Of these, 80.7% (N = 3237) were followed up at stage 2 of the study (in 2001) and 81.2% (N = 3255), at stage 3 (in 2006). These participants' life status was monitored until May 2009. The responses for SRH at stage 2 and stage 3, whenever available, were incorporated into the analyses.
Participants filled out a self-administered questionnaire. Self-rated health was evaluated on an ordinal basis, as measured by the question "In comparison with people of your age, how do you rate your own overall health status?". The response options were: "Very good", "Good", "Fair" or "Poor". For the analyses, the levels "Fair" and "Poor" were grouped into a single category, because the category "Poor" was mentioned by only a small number of employees at stage 1 (N = 63). A test-retest reliability study with a two-week interval between responses was performed among individuals not enrolled in the study cohort, but whose sex, age and literacy profile was similar to that of the cohort. Reliability for the SRH reported at stage 1 of the study (1999) was estimated using weighted kappa (square weighting), returning a value of 0.65 (CI95% 0.54-0.72).
Deaths occurring in the cohort between 1999 and 2009 were identified by consulting the university human resources department. In order to investigate their causes, these deaths were located in the national Mortality Information System (SIM) database up to 2006 – the most recent data available – by means of probabilistic record linkage technique. Reclink [21] was used, applying a five-step blocking strategy with keys formed by combining sex and Soundex phonetic codes for first and last names. Records were paired by name, mother's name and date of birth, with the linkage parameters estimated by means of the EM algorithm [22]. Using this strategy, 96% of the deaths occurred up to 2006 were identified in the mortality database. It was opted to consider the information from the human resources department as a primary source with a view to: (1) permit identification of the events that occurred up to the end of the observation period (2009), since deaths occurring after 2006 were not available in the SIM; and (2) prevent identification of deaths that did not in fact occur (false positive errors). These latter, even when random, have greater impact on the validity of ratio-type measures of association than false negative errors [23]. Participants still living in May 2009 were right-censored.
The covariates included in the study were defined as: a) age (years): < 35, 35 to 44, 45 to 54 and >54; b) sex: male or female; c) income: per capita family income terciles in U.S. dollars (US$), calculated by dividing the median of the net income bracket by the number of dependents on that income, and converting to August 1999 dollar values (median date of entry into the study in 1999) of US$1.00 = R$1.70; d) schooling: fundamental (up to incomplete high school), middle (complete high school and incomplete university) or university (complete university or more); e) chronic diseases: self-reported lifetime medical diagnosis of arterial hypertension and/or diabetes mellitus and/or myocardial infarction and/or cerebral vascular accident and/or pulmonary emphysema/chronic bronchitis – categorised as none, or at least one, of these conditions; f) presence of common mental disorders: evaluated on the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12) scale – categorised as present (at least three affirmative responses among the 12 items of the scale) or absent [24]; g) body mass index (BMI = weight/height2, in kg/m2): calculated from weight and height measured and classified according to World Health Organization recommendations – categorised as underweight or normal weight (<25kg/m2); overweight (25 to 29.9); or obesity (≥30) [25]; h) current habit of smoking: yes or no; i) marital status: married, separated, widowed or single; and j) color/race: as reported by the participant from the Brazilian census ethnic categories – white, 'pardo' (mulatto), black, asian or indigenous. Those who classified themselves as asian or indigenous were grouped into a single category ("others"), as they represented only 2.5% of the population.
All variables analyzed were collected at stage 1 only, except the main exposure variable (SRH) and age, updated in 2001 (stage 2) and 2006 (stage 3), and the covariate "chronic diseases", updated in 2001 but not available in 2006. The pattern of change in the SRH over time was investigated.
All participants signed a declaration of informed consent, and the research protocols were approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Institute of Social Medicine of the State University of Rio de Janeiro.
The association between SRH and mortality was estimated using extended Cox proportional hazard models with both SRH and chronic diseases varying over time. Follow-up started on study entry date, and the variable was updated at each new interview. The Kaplan-Meier estimator and the log-rank test (p < 0.15) were used to select the variables to be evaluated in bivariate Cox models, where hazard ratios (HR) were estimated. The variables that proved statistically significant in the bivariate models (p < 0.05) were then included in the multivariate analysis.
Variables' entry into the multivariate models was determined on the hierarchical causality theoretical model, including first the distal characteristics (age, sex, color/race, schooling, income and marital status) and then the intermediate characteristics (chronic diseases, smoking, BMI and common mental disorders). In order to be maintained as a confounder in the multivariate model, each variable had to be associated with the outcome at a 5% level of significance (p < 0.05) and/or alter the effect of SRH on mortality by at least 20%. It was decided a priori that "chronic diseases" would be retained in the final model independently of these criteria, due to its importance as an alternative explanation of the causal chain. The Cox model's assumption of proportional hazard for each variable over time was checked by analysis of Shoenfeld's residual analysis and the functional form of the continuous variables age and income was checked by analysis of Martingale's residual analysis (p < 0.05). All analyses were performed using the R statistical package, version 2.10.0 [26] with the survival library [27].
Due to the difference in hazard of death encountered among men and women, by SRH, the analyses were performed separately by sex (Table (Table1).1). The group studied was mostly female (55.6%) and predominantly young adults (mean age = 40.1years) (Table (Table1).1). About 40% had completed undergraduate or postgraduate education, 52% classified themselves as white, and just over 20% were smokers at the time of the study. Approximately 30% reported at least one medical diagnosis of some disease of interest. In addition, more than half the population were overweight (BMI ≥ 25) and the prevalence of common mental disorders was estimated at more than 30%.
At stage 1, health was self-rated as "Very good" by 28.2% of participants, "Good" by 53.2%, "Fair" by 17% and "Poor" by 1.6%. Self-perceived health was worse among women than among men, with 21.3% reporting SRH as "Fair" or "Poor", compared with 13.2% of the men (p < 0.001). In both sexes, worse SRH was also observed among the older individuals, those with less income, less schooling, who were widowed, who reported some disease, had higher BMI, were classified as positive for common mental disorders or as smokers, for both sexes (p < 0.05) (data not presented). At stages 2 and 3, SRH prevalences were, respectively, 27.8% and 26.3% (Very good), 51.5% and 50.7% (Good), 17.8% and 20.2% (Fair), and 1.6% and 2.2% (Poor).
As regards changes in SRH over the course of follow-up (Figure (Figure1),1), 36.2% of the population changed SRH category from stage 1 to stage 2, and 38.2% from stage 2 to 3. The pattern of change was more often towards worsening health than towards improvement, and that difference was most marked from stage 2 to stage 3 (21.3% worsened and 16.9% improved) than from stage 1 to stage 2 (19.1% worsened and 17.1% improved). However, the proportion of participants whose SRH deteriorated or improved by two categories (from "Very good" to "Fair/Poor", or the opposite) was very small: 1.2% and 0.8% from stage 1 to stage 2; and 1.1% and 1.0% from stage 2 to stage 3, respectively.
Of the 4009 participants with complete SRH data at stage 1 (99.5% of participants at that study stage), 117 had died by May 2009 (Table (Table1)1) and the cumulative incidence of death among the men was almost double that estimated for the women (0.039 and 0.021, respectively). For both sexes, cumulative incidence of mortality increased with worsening SRH (Table (Table1).1). Log-rank tests for survival differences were all significant, except for common mental disorders, BMI, race and marital status among men; and common mental disorders and smoking among women. Figure Figure22 shows the Kaplan-Meier plots illustrating the effect of SRH measured at stage 1 of the study, among men and women.
The causes of mortality for deaths occurring up to 2006 (N = 80) were distributed as follows: diseases of the circulatory system (N = 24, 30%), neoplasms (N = 13, 16%), diseases of the respiratory system (N = 11, 14%), external causes (N = 8, 10%), infectious and parasitic diseases (N = 6, 8%), endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (N = 6, 8%), diseases of the digestive system (N = 4, 5%), symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (N = 4, 5%), and others (N = 4, 1% each). Distribution of causes of mortality was similar for men and women, with the exception of external causes, which constituted the second cause of death among men and did not figure among causes of death for women.
The crude survival functions indicated that hazard of death for women with "Fair/Poor" SRH was seven times greater than for those with "Very good" SRH (Table (Table2).2). Among men, the hazard was four times greater than for the reference category. After adjustment (model 4), men who reported "Fair/Poor" SRH showed relative hazard of death of 2.13 (CI95% 1.03-4.40) and women, 3.43 (CI95% 1.23-9.59), as compared with those who reported "Very good" SRH. Hazard of death for participants with "Good" SRH was not statistically different from the hazard of those whose SRH was "Very good". Schoenfeld's residual analysis confirmed the proportional hazard assumption. As the Martingale's residuals indicated that the variable "income" did not display a linear function form, it was categorized in terciles.
As far as we were able to discover, this study, which involved follow-up over a 10-year period, is the first in Brazil to investigate the association between SRH and mortality in a population of young adults. Men and women with "Fair/Poor" SRH had 2.1 and 3.4 times greater hazard of mortality, respectively, than those with "Very good" SRH, independently of reporting diagnoses of chronic diseases and other covariates.
A number of studies [4,10], including review articles [2,8] and meta-analysis [9], point to SRH as an independent predictor of mortality. In Latin America the only three studies of this subject – all evaluating populations of older adults – come from Brazil. Two of them also encountered greater hazard of mortality for individuals with worse SRH [18,19]. In the third study, excess hazard ceased to be significant after adjustment for cognitive function [17].
The prevalences of the worst category of SRH estimated in our population were similar to those found among industrial workers in Brazil [28] and lower than observed in Brazil's overall population [7,29]. The differences between our findings and those of population-based studies can be explained by the fact that our population was younger, had permanent employment and more schooling, which characterize better conditions of life and health than those of the overall population. The incidence of mortality in the cohort (0.25%) was also lower than the mortality rate observed in the population from 30 to 59years old in Rio de Janeiro State (0.56%) (mean for the period from 1999 to 2006) [30]. The Pró-Saúde study cohort and the population of Rio de Janeiro State have similar profiles in terms of causes of mortality, except for external causes, which had more influence on mortality in the overall population than in the cohort, and diseases of the respiratory system, which occurred more often in the Pró-Saúde study population [30].
The results of previous studies have varied as regards whether hazard of death, comparing the worst and best SRH categories, is greater among men or women. Some estimated greater relative hazard of mortality among women than among men associated with "Poor" SRH [1,16,31]; others found greater relative hazard among the men [32,33]. In our study, relative hazard of mortality was higher for women than for men. The fact that external causes were the second cause of death among the men and did not figure among causes of death for women may have contributed to this result, given that these conditions are less associated with self-rated health than other causes of death [4]. However, this difference between hazard of death for men and women must be interpreted with caution in our study, because there are few observations in some categories, (e.g., only 3 women in the "Very good" SRH category had died) generating imprecise estimates (model 4, Table Table22).
The presence of diseases is identified as the main potential confounder of the relationship between SRH and mortality [11]. In our study, although inclusion of this variable contributed to reducing the strength of the association between "Fair/Poor" SRH and mortality (reduction of age-adjusted HR by 32.4% and 27.3% in men and women, respectively), SRH continued to be an independent predictor of mortality. Other studies that adjusted for the presence of diseases found similar results. Mossey & Shapiro [12], in a pioneering study of the association between SRH and mortality, showed that the mortality hazard associated with worse SRH was stronger than the mortality hazard associated with objective measures of health. In the study by Idler et al. [11], SRH was a significant predictor of mortality, even when physical health status was taken into consideration. In the same way, Mackenbach et al. [13] showed that adjusting for a set of self-reported chronic diseases, for socio-demographic variables and for behavioral risk factors, attenuated the effect of SRH on mortality by about 44%, in comparison to the effect measure adjusted only for sex and age; nonetheless, the excess mortality risk associated with worse SRH continued about four times greater. Other authors, on the contrary, observed that the presence of diseases explains the absence of an association between SRH and mortality [10,16,32].
Idler & Benyamini [8] suggest some possible interpretations for the effect of SRH on mortality, independently of the presence of diseases and other risk factors. SRH is an accurate, inclusive measure able to reflect symptoms of existing diseases still at prodromal stages, or even the influence of family risk factors on health. In addition, it represents a dynamic assessment that considers health trajectories and not just the health status at the time of assessment. It is also related to behaviors that affect health status, such as lesser adhesion to preventive practices and to treatment. Moreover, it is a measure that can indicate the presence or absence of psychosocial resources capable of attenuating decline in health. Manderbacka [34] suggests that in addition to the medical model of health, adopting health promotion messages and "healthy" lifestyles are important factors contributing to health assessments.
Many studies have indicated that the ability of SRH to predict mortality diminishes with increasing cohort follow-up time [10,31,35]. This result may possibly stem in part from the use of SRH measured at the baseline alone, making it a good predictor of early mortality, but not of late mortality. The studies that have investigated the association between SRH as a time-dependent covariate and mortality using Cox regression [14-16,36,37] are not that frequent, but the results are consistent.
In the study by Strawbridge & Wallhagen [14], time-dependent SRH was a predictor of mortality among women and men from 21 to 94years of age (relative hazard = 1.44; CI95% 1.25-1.65). Han et al. [15] investigated SRH among older women at baseline and every six months for three years. Change in SRH from "Excellent" to "Poor" entailed twice the hazard of death as compared to stable "Excellent" SRH.
Some limitations of this study deserve mention. Our results might have been biased due to lack of complete information on changes of SRH over time for the participants. About 14% of them had only the first baseline SRH measure, and other 10% had only two SRH measures (baseline plus SRH recorded on stages 2 or 3). The potential effect of such problem on the results is unknown, but one might suppose that those who drop out would probably have worse health as compared to their earliest SRH evaluation and higher probability of death. Including only the first SRH assessment for these participants would probably lead to underestimation of the strength of the association between SRH and mortality. In addition, we didn't have the measure of chronic conditions on stage 3, thus possibly slightly overestimating the independent effect of SRH. Last, it was not possible to update the status of some covariates in our analyses. However, considering that the population is made up of staff at a single public institution, changes in income and schooling are uncommon.
Moreover, deaths occurring after 2006 could not be identified, as they were not available in the Mortality Information System (SIM). However, the high proportion (96%) of deaths recorded in the university human resource system that were also found in the SIM database between 1999 and 2006 warrants our belief that the university records for deaths occurring from 2007 to 2009 are valid. Besides, the university records system is extremely reliable, as the family must notify the institution of any death in order to secure their right to a regular pension and funeral costs. Lastly, it cannot be guaranteed that residual confounding is absent, given that only some medical diagnoses were included as self-reported chronic diseases, and objective measures of health (biochemical tests, electrocardiogram, etc.) were not used. Nonetheless, we believe that this potential residual confounding is not considerable, because a number of studies using objective measures have arrived at results similar to ours [11,12,38].
Analysis of SRH in three categories (instead of the "SRH positive"/"SRH negative" dichotomy found in most research) and also the use of both SRH and presence of diseases as time-dependent covariates, make the results of this study more robust and comparable to those of the few studies that use a similar strategy. We consider that analysis of SRH that changes over time is the most appropriate analytical method for investigating the relationship between this variable and mortality, given that these alterations are frequent. Failure to incorporate such information can result in misclassification, which in our study would affect about 40% of the participants.
As regards external validity, the results obtained in the Pró-Saúde study cohort may represent an approximation to what is occurring in the middle strata of the economically active population of Brazil's major metropolises. Subsequent studies could investigate the role of SRH in predicting specific causes of mortality, which was not possible in the Pró-Saúde study given the small number of deaths. It would also be interesting to ascertain whether specific causes of mortality can explain the differences observed between men and women in the SRH-mortality relationship. It is also suggested that studies investigate different SRH trajectories over time, and their association with mortality.
Our findings reinforce the importance of using SRH in epidemiological research as a simple, low-cost and complementary measure for population health monitoring.

Durban - South Africa is ready to host the UN climate change conference COP17, International Relations Minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane said on Friday."We are working closely with the city of Durban and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change to ensure that we host an international event that meets UN requirements," she told reporters in Durban.More than 6 000 hotel rooms had been booked and paid for."The layout for the conference at the International Convention Centre and the Durban Exhibition Centre has been finalised," said Nkoana-Mashabane.International negotiators will descend on Durban November to attempt to hammer out a binding deal to limit greenhouse gas emissions, but some activists have suggested the talks will not produce tangible results.Nuclear power"We're of the opinion that COP17 has already failed. If you consider what's been happening in the talks in the run-up to, which is pretty much where most of the work happens, the most that's going to come out of it is some global environmental fund or facility which, quite frankly, is generally going to be a bad idea," said Muna Lakhani Cape Town branch co-ordinator for Earthlife Africa.Utilities have said that nuclear power was better able to cope with expanding energy demand than renewable energy projects, while reducing atmospheric emissions."Base load is not the most sustainable way of us using our energy. We actually lose a lot of our energy supply and Greenpeace has come out with our Energy Revolution, where we show that actually, you don't really need base load for our electricity supply to work," said Ferial Adams of Greenpeace Africa.The international consensus is that global warming should be limited to 2°C, but this is not a guarantee that climate change is will be avoided."While there is still some uncertainty about when feedback effects will kick in, we know that above 2° average global warming, the risks escalate very rapidly," said Richard Worthington WWF climate change programme manager for the in South Africa.
yaaaaaa....do it .....who pays though...mother chuckers........
Has no one ever thought just just MAYBE the slight rise in temperatures, if any, could be attributed to the increased solar acitivity over the past decade?
@Agent Bastard........Agreed,but add in the following.All the hot air and cr#p put out by the ANC.The extra exhaust emission from the jet hired by you know who to leave Norway(refused to be screened)The extra chopping down of trees for firewood because people cannot afford electricity.....Shall I go on?????????
The slight decrease in temperatures over the last decade has taken the hot air out of their balloon, shame, they're grabbing at straws for their carbon taxes, but the world has gotten wise to their fraud...
And how much of my tax money is going towards this?
It's the SUN, you warming wakners! Is South Africa the ONLY country that still believes these warmista's? They should be jailed for crimes against humanity.
South africa hyas failed. Having attended the recent Cop 17 summit runup i can catagoricalkly stae that the governments interest is in the money stream Stuff the well being of SA's people. At every turn we were tols about energy and how bad we were in using it but then told how the grand plan was to build more generation.
Exactly five minutes of 16 hrs of TALK was spent not on options or alternatives but meerly as an obligatory mention. Nothing on the mitigation of our water problems and the use of Urban rainwater harvestin as a complimentary alternative water source. Alolways remember one litre of the national resource saved is one liter spare for the day of drought. SAVE water now for climate change.
The whole thing is now about money. It's the treasuries of every government in the world and the UN that are salivating about the $$$ they are going to screw out of everyone, not to mention Al Gore and his carbon exchange. Bunch of greedy hypocrites, jetting around the world in private aircraft, and living with the carbon footprint of 500 normal people, all the while drumming up fear so that people will follow their criminal agenda. They all belong in jail.
Presumably the delegates will not object to having their hand luggage Scanned.
Climate change conference in SA......... One wonders how these ANC parasites set out there priorities....there again, logic has nothing to do with it when the dark masses are involved !

Everest Moving And Storage Co. Eli-(driver) Moved my money but not all of my belongings!!! Internet, Florida
In Georgia, they didn't arrive on the day that they were supposed to arrive. On the day that they did arrive, they told us they would arrive between 12noon and 2pm. They didn't show up until around 9pm that night. After getting there, they refused to bring our stuff inside the house due to stairs fees, and unloaded it in the parking lot. This was very upsetting for me since they were informed about apartment being 2 flights up. It's actually typed in on the quote that they gave us so the stairs fee should have been paid already. My family had to carry the stuff inside ourselves (which defeats the purpose of hiring movers in the first place).
Since they didn't bring anything inside the house, that means that they didn't set anything up. They didn't arrange any furniture. No assembly. No nothing. The office wasn't much help. They continued to talk to the driver but nothing changed.
Days later, after getting everything situated in the house ourselves, we started to notice that things were missing such as boxes, clothing and jewelry. we contacted the main number to complain about this. We were told that everything was brought to us and that no other deliveries were mixed with ours, so our stuff couldn't have been delivered to the wrong location. So as we continued to ask about a solution to our problem of missing items, the woman said she would contact the delivery that was made just prior to ours to see if they got our stuff by mistake. (A delivery that didn't even exist 5 minutes prior). They stated they would contact the other people and call us back to let us know the outcome. We haven't heard from them since!!!
