The 2017 Toyota Camry has more presence than ever before, with more stance and more exciting colors.
The Camry has always presented a superbly versatile offering in its segment. Known for its safety features, comfort and unrivaled reliability, the Camry is now more unexpected than ever before, with audacious characteristics and state-of-the-art standard technologies. The 2017 Toyota Camry is offered in four variants: LE, SE, XSE, and XLE. Buyers may also choose from two powerful engines.
The 2017 Toyota Camry has more presence than ever before, with more stance and more exciting colors. On top of that, the exterior comes with many standard features like foldable exterior mirrors, power-adjustable heated mirrors, automatic headlamp system and variable intermittent wipers available on all trims.
Trims above the SE get LED Daytime Running Lights and a practical power moonroof. For a little bit more style, the fully loaded XSE variant has it all, with standard rear spoiler, sport style grille, sumptuous 18'' aluminum alloy wheels with wheel locks and a pair of led headlamps (V6 only).
The 2017 Toyota Camry is powered by 2.5 Litre, 4-Cylinder, DOHC, 16-Valve, Dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) and Sequential Multiport Electronic Fuel Injection. A more powerful V6 engine is offered on the XLE and XSE variants. This engine is a 3.5 Litre, 6-Cylinder, Aluminum Alloy Block, DOHC, 24-Valve powerplant equipped with Dual Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (VVT-i) and dual Stainless Steel Exhaust System.
Performance figures on the four cylinder are 178 hp and 170 lb-ft of torque. The V6 engine, however, offers more power and torque with 268 hp and 248 lb-ft. Both powerplants are coupled to the same transmission, a 6-Speed Automatic, Super Electronically Controlled Transmission with Overdrive and Sequential Shift Mode. The SE and XSE variants get paddle shifters for more spirited drives. Every variant comes with Front Ventilated Disc Brakes, Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Brake Assist (BA), Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD).
Inside, the 2017 Camry is roomy and comfortable. The cabin offers many advanced technologies like AM/FM/CD/MP3/WMA, Audio Auxiliary Input Jack, USB Audio Input, Bluetooth Capability, Integrated XM Satellite Radio, 6.1 inch Display Audio, or a 7-inch monitor depending on the variant, along with a standard 3-spoke Tilt & Telescopic Steering Wheel with integrated Audio Controls.
Also, every trim is delivered with the Fold Down (60/40 Split) rear seat, air conditioning and the backup camera. Heated front seats are standard on all trims except the LE. Buyers who opt for the XSE will benefit from leather sport seats in the front, JBL Audio, Premium Navigation System, 10 Speakers and Dynamic Radar Cruise Control.
The Toyota Camry offers, yet again, more than its rivals in the segment!

With good portability and enough performance, the tablet provides us an excellent mobile media experience. It becomes a kind of popular consumer electronics like the cellphone. The boom of iPad spurs the development of tablet greatly. People get lots of choice when buying a tablet and feel puzzled at the same time-which one should I choose? Should I buy an android tablet or an iPad? Is it good for reading books? Does it easy to learn? Don't worry. This article shows you the main features and drawbacks of four popular tablets at present and I'm sure you'll get a clear understanding of tablet and make your choice.
1. Kindle Fire HD
1. Massive e-book resource.
Actually I prefer to regard the Kindle Fire HD as an e-book reader. Although the Kindle Fire HD doesn't adopt an E-Ink display as the Kindle, it is still an excellent e-book reader as the built-in Amazon store provides countless e-books for all ages. The Kindle Fire HD has two modes with different screen size of 7-inch and 8.9-inch. If you want a better reading experience, I suggest you buy the 8.9-inch Kindle Fire HD as you can view more content at each page.
2. Cheap price.
Maybe the Kindle Fire HD is the cheapest tablet you can buy at present, of course, of famous brand. The price of $ 199 do attracts many people. Although the Kindle Fire HD doesn't have a powerful performance, but considering it is just a tablet for daily use and an excellent e-book reader, it is worthy of the money.
1. No high pixel camera.
The Kindle Fire HD only equips a so called "HD" camera. It has only about 100 mega pixels, in addition, a front camera. So don't try to use a Kindle Fire HD to take pictures. It's only used for web chatting.
2. Custom android OS.
The Kindle Fire HD runs a custom android OS. Amazon modifies the original android and made some limitation on it. The biggest problem is that you can't install Google Play on it. That means you can't experience many interesting apps unless you root the device.
2. iPad 4
1. Strong and balanced configuration.
The iPad has the new A6X chipset and a 9.7-inch IPS display of a resolution of 2048*1536. Compare with android tablets, the hardware of iPad can't be regarded as top level. But with excellent optimization the iPad always has good overall performance.
2. An OS of minimalism.
Perhaps iOS is the most simple but effective mobile OS. All the operations are simplified to the greatest extent so that most process can be done with the Home button.
3. Massive apps.
It's no doubt that the Apple App Store has the most and best mobile applications. You can turn your iPad into a Gameboy, or a small office computer.
1. High price.
iPad is a tablet approached perfection. It is almost the best in every aspect, except the price. A price up to $499 may let some people give up. If you don't have enough budget, you can choose an iPad 2 instead. It only costs $399.
3. Samsung Note 10.1
1. Valuable S Pen features.
The Galaxy Note 10.1 provides a stylus which we call it "S Pen". With the S Pen we can conveniently take notes and even send email in handwriting. You can also edit pictures with the S Pen, just like drawing a picture.
2. Powerful quad-core chipset.
With the 1.4GHz Exynos Quad-Core Processor, the Galaxy Note 10.1 can provide a powerful performance which make you have better experience in game and multitasking.
3. MicroSD support.
The Galaxy supports an external memory card (up to 64GB). This means you just need less money to buy a high capacity microSD card to store more HD video and music. And it's more convenient to copy data with a card reader than a USB cable.
1. Low resolution display.
The screen resolution of Galaxy Note 10.1 is 1280*800. Maybe it's clear enough to distinguish text, but as the HD video and game develops, high resolution display is the trend.
4. Nexus 10
1. High resolution PLS display.
The Nexus 10 has a PLS display with an incredible high resolution of 2560*1660 which makes its PPI reach to 300. High PPI means we can view more details in a HD video and game. This display also has a high visual angle and good color rendition.
2. Original android OS.
The Nexus series all run an original android OS. For those who want to experience the newest feature of android and dislike third party ROMs, Nexus 10 could be a good choice. Maybe the UI of the original android looks like a bit concise, but no doubt it's the safest and most fluent android.
3. Quad-core Mali T604.
The Mail T604 is the upgrade version of Mail 400MP which is widely used in Samsung's cellphones and tablets. This new GPU is the most powerful mobile GPU on the market. It can provide a performance 5 times than the previous Mail GPU.
1. Short battery life.
Although the Nexus 10 equips a battery of 9000 mAh capacity, it can only last about 7 hours which is less than iPad and Kindle Fire HD. Perhaps the high resolution display and GPU consume much battery. So you better use it at home, not outside.
2. No 3G connection.
The Nexus 10 doesn't have a 3G connection. The only connection to internet is WIFI. In some cases which there is no WIFI coverage, a 3G broadband card may be very useful.

Driving Enhanced Customer Experience
October 03, 2017
There has been a quiet revolution over the past decade or two. I am referring to the shift from "Customer Service" to "Customer Experience." This shift has been so subtle and unheralded that it has been more evolution than revolution. Yet you cannot doubt that it has taken place.
Only today, I received an invitation to attend "Customer Experience World", the national customer experience conference. Here, apparently, I can join CXO's (Customer Experience Officers) and others to listen to a keynote speaker talk about "The importance of customer experience design in an ever-changing Omnichannel world, and the common pitfalls businesses make."

Combining indoor residual spraying with chlorfenapyr and long-lasting insecticidal bed nets for improved control of pyrethroid-resistant Anopheles gambiae: an experimental hut trial in Benin
© Ngufor et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd. 2011

Neither indoor residual spraying (IRS) nor long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are able to fully interrupt transmission in holoendemic Africa as single interventions. The combining of IRS and LLINs presents an opportunity for improved control and management of pyrethroid resistance through the simultaneous presentation of unrelated insecticides.
Chlorfenapyr IRS and a pyrethroid-impregnated polyester LLIN (WHO approved) were tested separately and together in experimental huts in southern Benin against pyrethroid resistant Anopheles gambiae and Culex quinquefasciatus. The bed nets were deliberately holed with either six or 80 holes to examine the effect of increasing wear and tear on protectiveness. Anopheles gambiae were genotyped for the kdr gene to assess the combination's potential to prevent the selection of pyrethroid resistance.
The frequency of kdr was 84%. The overall mortality rates of An. gambiae were 37% and 49% with the six-hole and 80-hole LLINs, respectively, and reached 57% with chlorfenapyr IRS. Overall mortality rates were significantly higher with the combination treatments (82-83%) than with the LLIN or IRS individual treatments. Blood feeding (mosquito biting) rates were lowest with the 6-hole LLIN (12%), intermediate with the 80-hole LLIN (32%) and highest with untreated nets (56% with the 6-hole and 54% with the 80-hole nets). Blood feeding (biting) rates and repellency of mosquitoes with the combination of LLIN and chlorfenapyr IRS showed significant improvement compared to the IRS treatment but did not differ from the LLIN treatments indicating that the LLINs were the primary agents of personal protection. The combination killed significantly higher proportions of Cx. quinquefasciatus (51%, 41%) than the LLIN (15%, 13%) or IRS (32%) treatments.
The chlorfenapyr IRS component was largely responsible for controlling pyrethroid-resistant mosquitoes and the LLIN component was largely responsible for blood feeding inhibition and personal protection. Together, the combination shows potential to provide additional levels of transmission control and personal protection against pyrethroid-resistant mosquitoes, thereby justifying the additional resources required. Chlorfenapyr has potential to manage pyrethroid resistance in the context of an expanding LLIN/IRS strategy.
- pyrethroid resistance
- Anopheles gambiae
- malaria control
- experimental hut
Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) are the most widely implemented methods of malaria vector control [1]. Owing to operational and logistic constraints associated with running recurrent IRS campaigns, insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) and LLINs have, until recently, been the more widely applied interventions in sub-Saharan Africa [2]. However, neither IRS nor LLINs are sufficient to achieve interruption of transmission in holoendemic areas of Africa when applied as single interventions [1].
As more resources are made available for malaria control through the Global Fund and President's Malaria Initiative, there is growing opportunity for deploying LLINs and IRS as a combination intervention [1, 3]. A recent analysis of malaria control programmes which deploy both interventions together gives evidence in a range of settings of added protection among those who sleep under LLINs in IRS-treated houses [4]. The added opportunity to target malaria vectors may justify the extra cost of combination interventions. Others have raised a concern that twinned interventions may increase the selection pressure for resistance if both LLIN and IRS deploy the same insecticide [5].
The efficiency of IRS and LLINs, whether deployed singly or in combination, depends on the continued susceptibility of the vectors to the insecticides delivered through these means. Resistance to the four classes of insecticides (pyrethroids, organophosphates, organochlorines and carbamates) approved for vector control has been found in a number of Anopheles gambiae populations [5–8]. Pyrethroids are the ideal insecticides for treating mosquito nets owing to their knockdown effect, excito-repellent properties and low mammalian toxicity [9]. Unfortunately, pyrethroid resistance due to the kdr mutation is now widespread particularly in West Africa [6, 8, 10, 11]. Reduced efficacy of LLINs and IRS due to multiple pyrethroid resistance mechanisms has been reported in Benin [6, 8, 12]. One of the methods used for managing insecticide resistance is to expose insect vectors to a combination of insecticides which have different modes of action. Combining of IRS and LLINs as a twinned intervention provides opportunities for resistance management as two insecticides with contrasting modes of action can be delivered at the same time and place. On a previous occasion when LLINs were combined with wall linings made of pyrethroid-treated plastic sheeting (simulating IRS) in a pyrethroid resistance area of Burkina Faso, no improvement on mortality of An. gambiae was observed over LLIN alone [13]. However, when LLINs were combined with carbamate-treated plastic sheeting on the walls, the combination proved more effective against pyrethroid resistant An. gambiae than LLIN alone [14, 15].
Resistance to conventional insecticides and the threat of malaria control failure are the catalysts driving the development of alternative insecticides [9]. One new alternative being evaluated for vector control is chlorfenapyr, a pyrole insecticide [16, 17]. Chlorfenapyr acts by targeting the oxidative pathway in insect mitochondria and shows no cross-resistance to DDT or pyrethroids [16]. The novel mode of action makes chlorfenapyr an ideal insecticide to complement the pyrethroids for the management of pyrethroid-resistant mosquitoes. Applied as IRS in experimental huts in southern Benin, chlorfenapyr at 1 g/m2 induced 82.9% and 45.6% mortality among pyrethroid-resistant An. gambiae and Culex quinquefasciatus populations respectively [17]. If chlorfenapyr IRS is combined with LLINs, then mosquito vectors which fail to be killed by the pyrethroid on the LLINs, owing to resistance, can then be targeted by the chlorfenapyr treatment on the wall. A greater impact on the vector population and on transmission control would, therefore, be expected when such a combination was deployed in areas where pyrethroid-resistant An. gambiae or multiple vector species abound.
To test this strategy, the combination of pyrethroid LLINs and chlorfenapyr IRS was examined under experimental hut conditions in the pyrethroid-resistant area of southern Benin. The relationship between the physical integrity of the bed net material (indicated by the number of holes in the bed net) and its impact against resistant mosquitoes was also examined.
Study site and experimental huts
The study was carried out in experimental huts situated in Akron, a village on the periphery of Porto Novo, the administrative capital of the Republic of Benin. This is a crop production area with marshes that provide prolific breeding sites for mosquitoes over long seasons. The local An. gambiae is resistant to pyrethroids and DDT [12]. The nuisance mosquito Cx. quinquefasciatus is present year round and is resistant to pyrethroids, carbamates and organophosphate insecticides [8]. Seven experimental huts were selected for the study. These huts are typical of the West African region and are made from concrete bricks, with roofs of corrugated iron, ceilings of thick polyethylene sheeting covered with palm thatch on the interior surface and walls plastered with an unpainted cement/sand plaster. Each hut stands on a concrete base surrounded by a water-filled moat to exclude ants. Entry of mosquitoes occurs via four window slits, which are 1 cm wide and located on three sides of the hut.

The LLIN was WHOPES approved, made of multifilament polyester fibres, factory-coated with a wash-resistant formulation of deltamethrin at a target dose of 55 mg/m2. The untreated bed nets were made of white 100-denier polyester multifilament net (SiamDutch Mosquito Netting Co., Bangkok, Thailand). To simulate badly worn nets, 80 holes of 2 cm2 diameter were cut along each side and end panels. Nets with six holes, each measuring 4 cm2, two on each side and one at each end to simulate less damaged nets were also tested. Chlorfenapyr SC (BASF, 'Phantom 240SC' with 240 g chlorfenapyr/litre) was sprayed onto interior walls and plastic sheeting using a Hudson compression sprayer equipped with a flat fan nozzle. The evaluation started one week after treatment and ran for two complete rotations between June and September 2010.
Sleepers and mosquito collection
Treatments were randomly allocated to the experimental huts. LLINs were rotated weekly between huts while the huts dedicated to the IRS treatments were fixed throughout the study as these IRS treatments could not be rotated. Seven adult men served as volunteer sleepers and were rotated between treatments on successive nights to adjust for any variation in individual attractiveness to mosquitoes. Sleepers gave informed consent and were provided with chemoprophylaxis prior to the trial. They slept in the huts from 20:00 to 05:00 each night. Mosquitoes were collected each morning at 05:00 from under bed nets, floors, walls, ceilings and verandas using aspirators and torches. The collections were transported to the laboratory where mosquitoes were identified to species and scored as blood fed or unfed and live or dead. Live mosquitoes were held in netted plastic cups and supplied with 10% honey solution. Delayed mortality was recorded at 24 h, 48 h and 72 h. Male mosquitoes were not scored.
- 1.
Deterrence: percentage reduction in the number of mosquitoes caught in treated hut relative to the number caught in the control hut;
- 2.
Repellency (induced exiting) due to potential irritant effect of treatments expressed as percentage of the mosquitoes collected from the veranda trap of treated hut relative to percentage caught in veranda trap of control hut;
- 3.
Inhibition of blood feeding: reduction in blood feeding rate relative to the control. This was calculated using the following model:
100(Bfu - Bft)/Bfu. where Bfu is the proportion of blood-fed mosquitoes in the untreated control huts and Bft is the proportion of blood-fed mosquitoes in the huts with insecticide treatments;
- 4.
Induced mortality: percentage of dead mosquitoes in treated hut at the time of collection and after a 72 h holding period relative to control hut.
The personal protective effect of the treatments which is described by a reduction in the number of blood-fed mosquitoes relative to the control hut was calculated as follows:
% Personal Protection = 100(Bu - Bt)/Bu Where Bu = is the number of blood-fed mosquitoes in the untreated control huts and Bt is the number of blood-fed mosquitoes in the huts with insecticide treatments.
Ethical clearance
Approval was obtained from the ethics committees of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the Benin Ministry of Health. Each trial participant gave written informed consent and was offered chemoprophylaxis during and for one month after the experimental hut trial.
Molecular assays
To examine the potential for the combination treatment to prevent selection for resistance the dead and surviving An. gambiae were genotyped using PCR to assess the kdr frequency according to the method of Martinez-Torez et al.[18]. The resistance allele frequency at the kdr locus was analysed using Genepop software (version 3.3) [19].
Data analysis
Data were entered in Excel and transferred to STATA 11.0 for further analysis. The numbers of mosquitoes collected each night were compared between treatments using a negative binomial regression model. Proportional data (exiting rate, blood feeding, and mortality) were analysed using logistic regression after adjusting for the effects of sleeper attractiveness and hut position.
Over the three-month trial, 865 An. gambiae sl, 7,296 Cx. quinquefasciatus and over l,000 Mansonia spp. females were caught in the huts. Only the data for An. gambiae and Cx. quinquefasciatus were analysed further.

The untreated, holed nets provided only limited protection against biting An. gambiae, with the proportion blood-fed reaching 54% in huts with the 80-hole nets and 56% in huts with the 6-hole nets. The difference in mosquito feeding rate between untreated 80-hole nets and untreated 6-hole nets was not significant (P = 0.532). The untreated holed nets were, however, more protective than no net at all because the proportion blood feeding in the only hut that lacked nets (chlorfenapyr IRS) was 89.4%, a value which was significantly higher than the proportion blood feeding in huts with untreated nets (P = 0.0001). The holed LLINs were more protective than holed untreated nets (P = 0.0001) due to the pyrethroid on the LLIN providing protection through its excito-repellent and knockdown effects. The LLIN with 6 holes was significantly more protective (BFI = 78%) than the LLIN with 80 holes (BFI = 42%) (P = 0.001). The addition of IRS with chlorfenapyr to a hut with LLIN did not alter the level of protection conferred by the LLIN, i.e. the proportions blood feeding with the combination were similar to that of the LLIN alone (P = 0.247 for 6-hole nets, P = 0.468 for 8-hole nets). The reduction in feeding rate with the combination was therefore attributable to the LLIN component rather than to the IRS component. The personal protection attributable to pyrethroid on the holed LLINs, relative to untreated nets, ranged from 56% to 75% protection.
The overall mortality rates with the LLIN alone ranged from 37.3% for the 80-hole to 49.5% for the 6-hole nets; the number of holes made no significant difference to the level of mortality conferred by the pyrethroid treatment (P = 0.083). The overall mortality rate with chlorfenapyr IRS treatment was 56.7%. The combination of IRS and LLIN induced overall mortality rates of 82% and 83% and this was significantly greater than the mortalities induced by LLINs alone (P = 0.0001) or by chlorfenapyr alone (P = 0.0001).
Whereas the majority of mosquitoes killed by the IRS when no LLIN was present had already blood fed (i.e. 87.2% [130/148] of the dead mosquitoes had blood-fed beforehand), only a minority of dead mosquitoes had managed to blood feed when a LLIN was present in the IRS treated hut (i.e. 9.2% [8/87] of the dead mosquitoes had blood fed beforehand through the 6-hole nets and 26.3% [17/65] through the 80-hole nets). This indicates that in the absence of a LLIN the mosquitoes will blood feed on the sleeper before alighting on the insecticidal wall. But in the presence of an LLIN many mosquitoes alight on the wall and are killed before managing to feed.

A combination of IRS and LLINs can only be justified economically if it provides greater levels of protection or greater transmission control than is achievable by the single interventions. The present comparisons show that the combining of chlorfenapyr IRS and pyrethroid LLINs in the same hut provides personal protection (mostly attributable to the LLIN component) and transmission control potential (mostly but not wholly attributable to mortality induced by IRS) over and above what the individual components are able to achieve. With the massive injection of international aid by the Global Fund and President's Malaria Initiative for universal coverage of LLINs and IRS transmission control, the roll-out of such a combination intervention appears well justified on the basis of the present suggestive small scale study.
The spectre of resistance haunts our capacity to control malaria in the future. Pyrethroid resistance due to kdr or metabolic mechanisms is springing up in countries across sub-Saharan Africa [5]. While clear demonstration that such resistance is impacting negatively on control has yet to be made, there is growing evidence that pyrethroid-treated ITNs and LLINs provide less protection in areas such as southern Benin where multiple pyrethroid resistance has become prevalent [6, 8]. Confronted with resistance, LLINs start to lose their protectiveness once they become holed and the more holes they accrue the less protective they become, as demonstrated in the present study.
Previously it was shown that chlorfenapyr is capable of controlling pyrethroid-resistant An. gambiae and Cx. quinquefasciatus when applied as IRS [17]. The most important new findings from the current study were the additive levels of mortality and the reduced levels of blood feeding that can be achieved when chlorfenapyr IRS is combined with pyrethroid LLIN. A mortality of ~80% is similar to what can be achieved with pyrethroid IRS in an area of full susceptibility [6]. Taken together with the partial protection still to be had from LLINs, the combination of LLINs and chlorfenapyr IRS may prove to be a route out of the predicament presented by pyrethroid resistance.
These findings stand in contrast to the experimental hut studies in Burkina Faso in which a combination of pyrethroid-treated wall linings and ITN failed to induce any increase in mortality of malaria vectors over that of ITN alone [13]. This difference can be attributed to the fact that the vector population in the current study is fully susceptible to the active component (chlorfenapyr) in the IRS treatment. These results corroborate previous experimental hut studies in Benin and in Burkina Faso where pyrethroid-treated nets were combined with carbamate-treated plastic wall sheetings to which there was also little or no resistance [15].
The relatively high mortality of mosquitoes in chlorfenapyr IRS-treated huts confirms the potential of the pyrole insecticide as an alternative IRS treatment [17]. Hut trials of IRS, whether with pyrethroid, carbamate, OP or pyrole [6, 17, 20], show little or no evidence of blood feeding inhibition among the mosquitoes collected from the huts. The inference is that hut-entering mosquitoes approach, contact and feed upon the host before resting on the insecticide-treated walls where they then pick up a lethal dose. The current trial supports that inference. But when faced with a barrier presented by the LLIN, some mosquitoes succeed in penetrating the holes and feed, while others fly away unfed from the net, not to leave the hut but to alight on the walls where they then pick up a lethal dose of chlorfenapyr before resuming host-seeking flights. This train of events could explain the higher proportion of unfed, dead mosquitoes in the combination LLIN/IRS huts than in the single intervention LLIN or IRS huts. It is perhaps the to-ing and fro-ing between bed net and wall that results in higher pick-up of insecticide and higher mortality rates than is achieved by blood-fed mosquitoes that after feeding on the host simply alight on the treated wall and remain stationary.
Cx. quinquefasciatus, the nuisance mosquito in urban West Africa and filariasis vector in East Africa, is strongly resistant to pyrethroids and consistently records low mortality rates (less than 15%) in the presence of LLINs in experimental huts studies [21]. This is due to multiple resistance mechanisms to pyrethroids and organophosphates [8]. In the current study, mortality of Cx. quinquefasciatus increased to 51% when the LLINs were combined with chlorfenapyr IRS. The fact that the combination killed up to three times more Cx. quinquefasciatus mosquitoes than LLINs alone enhances the acceptability and compliance of this combined strategy for malaria control in peri-urban settings.
Combining chlorfenapyr IRS and LLINs has an additive effect on the mortality of pyrethroid-resistant mosquitoes. In areas of high pyrethroid resistance or high transmission intensity, control programmes with sufficient resources should consider implementing a combination intervention of LLIN plus non pyrethroid-based IRS. Chlorfenapyr IRS is shown to be an ideal supplement to pyrethroid LLIN for improving the control of pyrethroid-resistant mosquitoes.

Being a realtor can be a frustrating, agonizing, costly and lonely business at the best of times. Everything from tredding through the day to day actions required to maintain and build a worthwhile business, to managing the emotions of our clients and our peers - sometimes I wonder why over 40,000 of us throughout the GTA have signed up for it.
As difficult and trying as it is, for me it has been and continues to be the most amazing industry in the world. Perfect for who I am. After 36 years of being a realtor, I can honestly say I am the most engaged than I have ever been in my profession. I love it and I am very proud to be a realtor.
Everyone I am sure has different reasons for being in this profession and unique expectations. When I ask realtors why they got into this business, I receive a variety of answers. Independence usually tops the list. They say they got in this business because they are able to set their own hours of work, don't have to answer to many. In other words, they can be left alone to do their own thing for the most part. Money of course is a driving force for becoming a realtor. Many outside of the business have the impression that the busienss of being a realtor is richly rewarding financially - and it is for some.
I imagine that many young boys playing hockey have dreams of being in the NHL along with all the glory and financial freedom it offers. Few make it, but the dream continues to be strong for our young. Being a successful realtor is no different. Not many actually create successful NHL level careers, most end up in the minors or hang up their skates. Such is life.
I got in this business primarily because I wanted to be judged and rewarded on the work I did. Full stop. If I failed, it was because I failed, if and when I succeeded it was because I was able to do the work needed surrounded by like minded peers. I never viewed the business as an opportunity to be independent - but rather had and have an interdependent mindset. We are all connected and rely on others.
If you are still reading this, my point simply - each day as a realtor go to work to make a difference for you and your family. Do the best you can today and always, always be engaged in your work, your family and your life.
Expect to make a difference.

Desire is a sense of longing for a person or object or hoping for an outcome. The same sense is expressed by emotions such as "craving" or "hankering". When a person desires something or someone, their sense of longing is excited by the enjoyment or the thought of the item or person, and they want to take actions to obtain their goal. The motivational aspect of desire has long been noted by philosophers; Hobbes (1588 – 1679) asserted that human desire is the fundamental motivation of all human action.
In Buddhism, for an individual to effect his or her liberation, the flow of sense-desire must be cut completely; however, while training, he or she must work with motivational processes based on skilfully applied desire.[1] The Buddha stated, according to the early Buddhist scriptures, that monks should "generate desire" for the sake of fostering skillful qualities and abandoning unskillful ones.[2]
While desires are often classified as emotions by laypersons, psychologists often describe desires as different from emotions; psychologists tend to argue that desires arise from bodily structures, such as the stomach's need for food, whereas emotions arise from a person's mental state. Marketing and advertising companies have used psychological research on how desire is stimulated to find more effective ways to induce consumers to buy a given product or service. While some advertising attempts to give buyers a sense of lack or wanting, other types of advertising create desire associating the product with desirable attributes, either by showing a celebrity or model with the product.
The theme of desire is at the core of the romance novel, which often create drama by showing cases where human desire is impeded by social conventions, class, or cultural barriers. As well, it is used in other literary genres, such as gothic novels such as Dracula by Bram Stoker, in which desire is mingled with fear and dread. Poets ranging from W.B. Yeats to T. S. Eliot have dealt with the themes of desire in their work. Just as desire is central to the written fiction genre of romance, it is the central theme of melodrama films, which use plots that appeal to the heightened emotions of the audience by showing "crises of human emotion, failed romance or friendship", in which desire is thwarted or unrequited.
In philosophy, desire has been identified as a philosophical problem since Antiquity. In Plato's The Republic, he argues that individual desires must be postponed in the name of the higher ideal. In Aristotle's De Anima, he claims that desire is implicated in animal interactions and the propensity of animals to motion; at the same time, he acknowledges that reasoning also interacts with desire. Hobbes (1588 – 1679) proposed the concept of psychological hedonism, which asserts that the "fundamental motivation of all human action is the desire for pleasure." Spinoza (1632 – 1677) had a view which contrasted with Hobbes, in that "he saw natural desires as a form of bondage" that are not chosen by a person of their own free will. Hume (1711 – 1776)[1] claimed that desires and passions are noncognitive, automatic bodily responses, and he argued that reasoning is "capable only of devising means to ends set by [bodily] desire".[3]
Kant (1724 – 1804) "called any action based on desires a hypothetical imperative, meaning by this that it is a command of reason that applies only if one desires the goal in question. [4]Kant also established a relation between the beautiful and pleasure in Critique of Judgment. Hegel claimed that "self-consciousness is desire."
Because desire can cause humans to become obsessed and embittered, it has been called one of the causes of woe for mankind.[5] Within the teachings of Buddhism, craving is thought to be the cause of all suffering that one experiences in human existence. The eradication of craving leads one to ultimate happiness, or Nirvana. Desire for wholesome things, though, is liberating and enhancing.[6] While the stream of desire for sense-pleasures must be cut eventually, a practitioner on the path to liberation is encouraged by the Buddha to "generate desire" for the fostering of skillful qualities and the abandoning of unskillful ones.[2]
For more details on the philosophical treatment of desire, see desire (in Philosophy).
While desires are often classified as emotions by laypersons, psychologists often describe desires as different from emotions. For psychologists, desires arise from bodily structures, such as the stomach which needs food, the blood needs oxygen, and so on; on the other hand, emotions arise from a person's mental state. A 2008 study by the University of Michigan indicated that while humans experience desire and fear as psychological opposites, they share the same brain circuit. [7] A 2008 study entitled "The Neural Correlates of Desire" showed that the human brain categorizes any stimulus according to its desirability by activating three different brain areas: the superior orbito-frontal, the mid-cingulate, and the anterior cingulate cortices. [8]
While the "neuroscience of happiness and well-being is still in its infancy", research on the "distant cousins" of pleasure and desire show that reward is a key element in creating both of these states. Studies showed that a chemical called dopamine is the brain's "pleasure chemical". Research also shows that the orbitofrontal cortex has connections to both the opioid and dopamine systems, and stimulating this cortex is associated with subjective reports of pleasure.[9]
Austrian psychiatrist Sigmund Freud (1856 – 1939), who is best known for his theories of the unconscious mind and the defense mechanism of repression and for creating the clinical practice of psychoanalysis, proposed the notion of the Oedipus Complex, which argues that desire for the mother creates neuroses in their sons. Freud used the Greek myth of Oedipus to argue that people desire incest and must repress that desire. He claimed that children pass through several stages, including a stage in which they fixated on the mother as a sexual object.
French psychoanalyst and psychiatrist Jacques Lacan (1901 – 1981) argues that desire first occurs during a "mirror phase" of a baby's development, when the baby sees an image of wholeness in a mirror which gives them a desire for that being. As a person matures, Lacan claims that they still feel separated from themselves by language, which is incomplete, and so a person continually strives to become whole. He uses the term "jouissance" to refer to the lost object or feeling of absence which a person believes to be unobtainable. For more details on the Lacanian conception of desire, see desire (psychoanalysis)
In the field of marketing, desire is the human appetite for a given object of attention. Desire for a product is stimulated by advertising, which attempts to give buyers a sense of lack or wanting. In store retailing, merchants attempt to increase the desire of the buyer by showcasing the product attractively, in the case of clothes or jewelery, or, for food stores, by offering samples. With print, TV, and radio advertising, desire is created by giving the potential buyer a sense of lacking ("Are you still driving that old car?") or by associating the product with desirable attributes, either by showing a celebrity using or wearing the product, or by giving the product a "halo effect" by showing attractive models with the product. Nike's "Just Do It" ads for sports shoes are appealing to consumers' desires for self-betterment.
In some cases, the potential buyer already has the desire for the product before they enter the store, as in the case of a decorating buff entering their favorite furniture store. The role of the salespeople in these cases is simply to guide the customer towards making a choice; they do not have to try and "sell" the general idea of making a purchase, because the customer already wants the products. In other cases, the potential buyer does not have a desire for the product or service, and so the company has to create the sense of desire. An example of this situation is for life insurance. Most young adults are not thinking about dying, so they are not naturally thinking about how they need to have accidental death insurance. Life insurance companies, though, have managed to create a desire for life insurance with advertising that shows pictures of children and asks "If anything happens to you, who will pay for the children's upkeep?".
Another example is personal hygiene products, such as anti-dandruff shampoo and mouthwash. Prior to the introduction of commercials advertising anti-dandruff shampoo or mouthwash, it is unlikely that consumers had an intrinsic desire to use these products. However, after seeing commercials depicting the social undesirability of flakes on the shoulder, or of bad breath, it created a desire to resolve these fears. Marketing theorists call desire the third stage in the hierarchy of effects, which occurs when the buyer develops a sense that if they felt the need for the type of product in question, the advertised product is what would quench their desire. [10]
The theme of desire is at the core of the romance novel. Novels which are based around the theme of desire, which can range from a long aching feeling to an unstoppable torrent, include Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert; Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez; the sensual, yet controversial novel Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov; Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, and Dracula by Bram Stoker. Brontë's characterization of Jane Eyre depicts her as torn by an inner conflict between reason and desire, because "customs" and "conventionalities" stand in the way of her romantic desires.[11] E.M. Forster's novels use homoerotic codes to describe same-sex desire and longing. Close male friendships with subtle homoerotic undercurrents occur in every novel, which subverts the conventional, heterosexual plot of the novels. [12] In the gothic-themed Dracula, Stoker depicts the theme of desire which is coupled with fear. When the Lucy character is seduced by Dracula, she describes her sensations in the graveyard as a mixture of fear and blissful emotion.
Poet W.B. Yeats depicts the positive and negative aspects of desire in his poems such as "The Rose for the World," "Adam's Curse," "No Second Troy," "All Things can Tempt me," and "Meditations in Time of Civil War" . Some poems depict desire as a poison for the soul; Yeats worked through his desire for his beloved, Maud Gonne, and realized that "Our longing, our craving, our thirsting for something other than Reality is what dissatisfies us". In "The Rose for the World," he admires her beauty, but feels pain because he cannot be with her. In the poem "No Second Troy," Yeats overflows with anger and bitterness because of their unrequited love. [13] Poet T. S. Eliot dealt with the themes of desire and homoeroticism in his poetry, prose and drama. [14] Other poems on the theme of desire include John Donne's poem "To His Mistress Going to Bed", Carol Ann Duffy's longings in "Warming Her Pearls; Ted Hughes' "Lovesong" about the savage intensity of desire; and Wendy Cope's humorous poem "Song".
Philippe Borgeaud's novels analyse how emotions such as erotic desire and seduction are connected to fear and wrath by examining cases where people are worried about issues of impurity, sin, and shame.
Just as desire is central to the written fiction genre of romance, it is the central theme of melodrama films, which are a subgenre of the drama film. Like drama, a melodrama depends mostly on in-depth character development, interaction, and highly emotional themes. Melodramatic films tend to use plots that appeal to the heightened emotions of the audience. Melodramatic plots often deal with "crises of human emotion, failed romance or friendship, strained familial situations, tragedy, illness, neuroses, or emotional and physical hardship." Film critics sometimes use the term "pejoratively to connote an unrealistic, bathos-filled, campy tale of romance or domestic situations with stereotypical characters (often including a central female character) that would directly appeal to feminine audiences."[15] Also called "women's movies", "weepies", tearjerkers, or "chick flicks".
"Melodrama…is Hollywood's fairly consistent way of treating desire and subject identity", as can be seen in well-known films such as Gone With the Wind , in which "desire is the driving force for both Scarlett and the hero, Rhett". Scarlett desires love, money, the attention of men, and the vision of being a virtuous "true lady". Rhett Butler desires to be with Scarlett, which builds to a burning longing that is ultimately his undoing, because Scarlett keeps refuses his advances; when she finally confesses her secret desire, Rhett is worn out and his longing is spent.[16]
In Cathy Cupitt's article on "Desire and Vision in Blade Runner", she argues that film, as a "visual narrative form, plays with the voyeuristic desires of its audience". Focusing on the dystopian 1980s science fiction film Blade Runner, she calls the film an "Object of Visual Desire", in which it plays to an "expectation of an audience's delight in visual texture, with the 'retro-fitted' spectacle of the post-modern city to ogle" and with the use of the "motif of the 'eye'". In the film, "desire is a key motivating influence on the narrative of the film, both in the 'real world', and within the text."[17]

|Desperately Wanting Wednesday is Parajunkee's spin on Breaking the Spine's Waiting on Wednesday. Unlike WOW, DWW includes any book you have been dying to get to be they unreleased, old books, or something you have been sitting on for a while.
Many visitors to Yellowstone National Park don't realize that the boiling hot springs and spraying geysers are caused by an underlying supervolcano, so large that the caldera can only be seen by plane or satellite. And by some scientific measurements, it could be overdue for an eruption.
For Alex, being left alone for the weekend means having the freedom to play computer games and hang out with his friends without hassle from his mother. Then the Yellowstone supervolcano erupts, plunging his hometown into a nightmare of darkness, ash, and violence. Alex begins a harrowing trek to seach for his family and finds help in Darla, a travel partner he meets along the way. Together they must find the strength and skills to survive and outlast an epic disaster.
SOUNDS AMAZING. This book gets recommended to me often. I have no idea why I haven't read it yet.
Abby Leigh is looking forward to watching the moon turn purple. For months, astronomers have been predicting that Earth will pass through the tail of a comet. They say that people will see colorful sunsets and, best of all, a purple moon.
But nobody has predicted the lightning-fast epidemic that sweeps across the planet on the night of the purple moon. The comet brings space dust with it that contains germs that attack human hormones. Older teens and adults die within hours of exposure.
On a small island off the coast of Maine, Abby must help her brother and baby sister survive in this new world, but all the while she has a ticking time bomb inside of her — adolescence.

I don't like piggybacking to start off the week, but it was a pretty big thing for me, so I decided to do it anyway. I mentioned on both this blog and The Man Who Ate the Town that I was going to start doing a new column on there about staying at home and cooking on certain nights of the week, as opposed to going out to restaurants as I usually do. I'm certainly still going to do that, but I'm also going to be doing some cooking from home. I'll be doing that with guidance from my chef friends around town, if they'll entertain my questions. Anywhat! The first installment of that column came out today and it was quite yummy. Give it a read (HERE) and hopefully, you will get in the mood to do some cooking, too. If not, then go see one of my many, many friends' restaurants. Either way, enjoy!
Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!
"Yes!" – 3B, The BCPF, Scorp (when asked if we would make this again)

We offer two types of auto equity loans: auto equity loans and single payment auto equity loans.
A auto equity loan allows you to pay for your loan over a longer period of time than your traditional payday loan. Our auto equity loan product allows you to repay the loan in scheduled payments that are generally equal in amount (first and last payment may vary slightly). At FastBucks, you may repay your auto equity loan early, which will save you interest.
We also offer a single payment auto equity loan product in store. For this product, your auto equity loan will be due in 30 days. You may, at our discretion, have the option to pay off your loan in its entirety or just pay the refinance fees associated with it and keep your loan out for another 30 days. Our auto equity loan products are flexible – you can borrow the money one time or over time. Available in UT, ID, NV, and NM.
Simply bring in a clear title with your name on it and a form of identification. We accept many types of identification: Driver's License, Identification Card, Out of State ID, Mexican Matricula Card, Passport, or Government photo ID. We also accept many types of titles, including original titles, certified copies, salvage titles, and titles that have released liens signed off by another lender on the front. You will also need proof of income, residence. FastBucks may require a bank account on loans over a specific amount. If you bank online you can use our simplified verification system and avoid the hassle of paperwork. With this system, the only thing you need is the title and bank account information.
You may be able to borrow up to $25,000, depending on whether you choose an installment or single payment auto equity loan, your income, various underwriting criteria, and state laws.
Absolutely! You get the money and you get to keep driving your car.
You will receive your approved loan amount in a check at the time of approval in store.
Yes, Equity Loans are available for motorcycles, in store and the requirements are the same: clear title with your name on it and an ID. You may also need proof of income, residence, and FastBucks may require a bank account on loans over a specific amount. If you bank online you can use our simplified verification system and avoid the hassle of the added paperwork. With this system, the only thing you need is the title and bank account information.
Yes, your vehicle needs to be paid off to receive an Auto Equity Loan.
You will need to produce a title before a loan can be made at your local FastBucks Store. You may contact your local Motor Vehicle Department to replace your title. If you need help, just contact the local branch and they may help you obtain a copy.
You may apply at your local branch and both people must be present in the store to complete the process. When it comes time to sign the documents, the store will instruct you how to complete them.
The person named on the title will be the only person able to take out a loan or obtain credit services. If you recently bought your car and the title is not yet in your name, you will need to have the title transferred at the Motor Vehicle Department before applying for a loan or credit services. If the title includes the name of another person, such as your spouse, he or she will have to be present when you apply for the loan and credit services. If you have any questions just contact the local branch for help with this process.
No. Only one loan per person at a given time. FastBucks does allow a spouse to obtain an additional loan if it is secured by a different car.
You do not need to be employed, but you need to have some sort of income. You can be self-employed, or even receive income from some source other than an employer, but we will require that you to have some income to ensure your ability to repay the loan. You can be retired or even on disability. The key is to have a continuous and regular source of income.
Yes! FastBucks values your privacy and internet safety. To read more in our privacy policy, click here.
You will need to bring a valid form of identification and a clear title to your local FastBucks branch. You may also need proof of income, residence, and FastBucks may require a bank account on loans over a specific amount. If you bank online you can use our simplified verification system and avoid the hassle of the added paperwork. With this system the only thing you need is the title and bank account information.
No. You will not be charged to apply for the Auto Equity Loan or any credit services, whether or not you are approved. Plus, with our satisfaction guarantee, you won't be charged any interest or fees if you change your mind about the loan or our credit services within 24 hours.
For auto equity loans, payments will generally be due on consecutive pay periods, and the term (length) of the loan will vary by state. You will be informed of the payment due dates and amounts if your loan is approved.
For single payment auto equity loans, your loan will generally be due in full on a payday not to exceed 30 days. Depending on state law, you may have the option to pay off your loan in its entirety or just pay the renewal fees associated with it and keep your loan out for another 30 days.
Check with your local branch to obtain the rules about payment.
Generally no more than one hour in the branch. Once approved, you will be given a check on the spot!
When the loan is due, you have the option to pay off the loan in full or, depending on state law, simply pay interest due and refinance the loan for another pay period. You will, of course, be responsible for additional fees and interest in connection with the refinanced loan. In addition, you may be required to repay a portion of the original principal amount of your loan in connection with each refinance (varies by state law according to single payment loans). Loan renewal payments must be received in-store by cash or certified funds and cannot be paid electronically.
If you repay your loan in full at any time, you will only be responsible for accrued interest on the outstanding principal through the date of repayment. So, if you pay off early, you will generally pay less interest.
You may return the money in cash that FastBucks loaned you and cancel the transaction within twenty-four (24) days of receiving your check. No questions asked and no fees.
Failure to make a timely payment on your loan or credit services transaction can have several consequences, including the following:
Online: To cancel the loan, you must deliver the proceeds from your loan in cash or certified check within 24 hours, or by close of the next business day, the greater of which is deemed by state law.
1. All loans subject to approval pursuant to standard underwriting criteria. Not all consumers will qualify for a loan or for the maximum loan amount applied for. Loans should be used for short-term financial needs only, not as a long-term financial solution. Customers with credit difficulties should seek credit counseling.
2. Installment Loans are intended for customers who need more time to pay off their loan than provided by a single-payment Payday Loan. Individual payment amounts for an Installment Loan are smaller when compared to the single-payment Payday Loan for the same loan amount. The total sum of payments for an Installment Loan will be higher than a single-payment Payday Loan if you pay off the Installment Loan according to the payment schedule set forth in the associated loan agreement.
3. Auto Equity loans include different product terms and subject to different underwriting criteria. Auto equity loans can be single or multi-payment.
4. Our credit decision on your application may be based in whole or in part on information obtained from a national database including, but not limited to:
155 Technology Parkway, Suite 800
Norcross, GA 30092,
FastBucks is a leading retailer of financial services. In business since 1999, FastBucks focuses on serving consumers who seek an alternative to traditional banking relationships to gain convenient and immediate access to financial services.

There's already enough speculation about China's intentions out there. We don't need journalistic irresponsibility to amplify the problem
Readers who are feeling a sense of alarm over recent reports in Taiwanese media that China could test-fire a Dong Feng-21D anti-ship missile in the Taiwan Strait prior to the Jan. 14 elections in Taiwan should note that the article in Defense News from which those claims originate was in fact a Nov. 21 op-ed by Roger Cliff, formerly of RAND Corp and now at the Project 2049 Institute. Once again, media here are omitting to mention that very crucial factor in news making — neglect that got me into no small amount of trouble when a certain newspaper failed to mention that when it did a write-up of one of my op-eds in the Wall Street Journal.
Besides the fact that firing a DF-21D (or any missile, for that matter) off Taiwan mere days prior to a key presidential election in Taiwan would be the height of folly on Beijing's part (one assumes it learned its lesson from the missile crisis of 1995-96), what Cliff does in his op-ed is merely speculative, based on the auspiciousness of one-one-one, added to the fact that China has used Jan. 11 on previous occasions to conduct "surprise" military tests.
There is a very real difference between "hard news" and opinion. Had that distinction been made, no journalist would have asked a Ministry of National Defense spokesman at a press conference today (and in the process, made a fool of himself) to comment on "alleged plans by China to fire a 'carrier killer' missile near Taiwan before the elections."

One of the many highlights of the show is watching the over-the-top and uber fabulous Martyn Lawrence Bullard. Mmmmmmmm…..decorating is delicious……….

I have a Google Nexus 5 that I bought in the US. Will this phone work in Paris, France ? Will I get LTE or 3G when using data?
It has all the necessary GSM, UMTS and LTE bands. It should work fine. You will get 3G or LTE but free Simple Choice data is throttled to (what?) about 128 kbps. For high speed data you need to buy a high speed data pass.

As restoration and development moves forward at the Paton Center, it has become clear that this special little corner of the Sky Islands is outstanding for more than just hummingbirds. The Sonoita Creek riparian corridor is truly a pollinator hotspot, and there are dozens of species of colorful butterflies occurring here as well. For many birders, identifying butterflies is just as exciting, and we are happy to be accommodating that interest as much as we possibly can!
Recently, the Paton Center received two hundred native plants to be placed around the property as part of a grant with the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum and our local partner Borderlands Restoration. One hundred monarch-friendly milkweeds, in addition to one-hundred other pollinator plants, were planted throughout the property with the help of over a dozen dedicated volunteers.
Most of the areas that we planted were previously over-run by invasive horehound or Bermuda grass, species that offer little or no benefit to wildlife. After clearing out these invasives, Tucson Audubon staff and volunteers spent three mornings planting our new native plants and running irrigation lines to them to help them make it through the hot, dry summer that is just around the corner. Though these plants are fairly small right now, by this time next year they should be mature enough to flower and attract lots of butterflies and hummingbirds. Within a few more years of growth, they will have spread their seeds to fill in these areas even more extensively, out-competing the invasive species that we work so hard to keep at bay. This project helps complete one of the largest Monarch Butterfly waystations in the area!
We certainly couldn't have achieved this without the incredible support of our volunteers. We had local Patagonians stop by to join in on the fun as well as friends from Tucson who were eager to get out of the heat of the low desert and into the shady riparian forest of Patagonia. Of course, it's hard to think of a more beautiful place to volunteer than Patagonia, especially for birders! Our volunteers were treated to a dazzling display of birds enjoying the habitat that they've helped create!
If you haven't been to the Paton Center recently, it's definitely worth the visit now. Temperatures are still cool enough to enjoy hours of fantastic birding, and flowers are bursting with color! Also, don't forget to bring a butterfly field guide in addition to your bird guide, because there are many colorful species to be seen!

I am trying to execute a command in a shell and pipe the output at the same time for filtering.
the relevent code looks like:
import os
n=raw_input("enter cmd")
os.system(n + ' | grep x')
the result is
Syntax error: Redirection unexpected.
It is on ubuntu, seemed like some references online mentioned this, but none I could directly associate. Seems like subprocess may help, but most examples are as of yet beyond my current understanding.
In Ubuntu, the default shell is
dash, and that is the error it gives you if you start a line with
|, so I'm guessing you didn't put anything in
os.system() is deprecated now. The
subprocess module is much more powerful and preferred. You would have to invest some time in reading the docs on it, but it pays off. It has some handy "convenience functions" to reduce the work needed.
Use subprocess module instead of os.system, which is deprecated.
subprocess allows piping and capturing stdout, as you want.
process = subprocess.call(command_string.split(), ..., stdout=subprocess.PIPE, ...)
... handle your output from process.communicate()
You are getting an error from the shell, not python. You most likely did not enter a command, so the system call was only " | grep x", which would return an error such as that.

The Baltic State Estonia focussed its activities on the issues of Binge Drinking and drinking and driving. Estonia is one the few countries which has targeted activities to tackle alcohol consumption among young women. The measures under the topic drinking and driving are a combination of legal regulations and awareness campaigns.
