People Like You Are Seeing Amazing Results with Liporexall!
Ok. So I've now been taking the pills for 6 weeks and I've lost 20 pounds. More then that, I've lost inches everywhere! I'm eating about 1500 calories a day (that is what my doc reccomended for my weight) and exercising for 60 minutes 6 days a week. This product is absolutely helping with energy and I'm feeling excellent. Because I'm exercising I truly feel as though I'm building lean muscle.Thanks! And Good luck to everyone!!!

I was 288.5 lbs back in September 14th 2009 and I am as of this morning 232 lbs. I may have a very good diet and work out 5 days a week but I dont think I would have had this much success without Liporexall.

First things first, thank you for your outstanding customer support and fast response time. Second, I started dieting/working out a little over a year ago in the first 3 months all seemed well but I found it hard to build muscle and lose fat at the same time…that's when I found Liporexall. Everything changed since then I've lost 95 lbs and have put on tons of muscle from my body fat calculations about 38 lbs. The only supplement I use is Liporexall and its made all the difference thanks for helping me get would achieve. I know you'll be with me while I lose the next 65 lbs to reach my goal. To all those who say you cant lose 2-5 lbs a week and put on muscle and feel great…I say Try Liporexall and thank me later.

Here's the Best Part: Our Money-Back Guarantee!
Frequently Asked Questions
Is exercise a requirement?
No, but it's highly recommended. By combining exercise with Liporexall, you will get better results, faster.
How long does each bottle of Liporexall Last?
Each bottle contains 60 capsules and lasts 30 days, if taken as directed.
How do I take Liporexall?
The recommended dosage is 1 capsule, twice a day. Take each serving with 8-12 ounces of water. Take Liporexall until you reach your desired weight.
Will I gain the weight back once I stop taking Liporexall?
It depends on your lifestyle. If you consume more calories than you expend, then yes, you will gain weight back. Liporexall helps you lose weight by reducing appetite metabolism. This shift in balance tilts the scale in your favor.
Are there any side effects?
Liporexall is extremely safe. It contains a nominal amount of caffeine. If you take it with other caffeine sources (energy drinks, coffee, etc) you feel slight nausea and dizziness. If you take Liporexall responsibly, the probability of side effects are slim.
When's the best time to take Liporexall?
We recommend taking Liporexall in the morning with breakfast, and in the afternoon with lunch. Don't take Liporexall within 5 hours of your bed time. The caffeine may keep you up!
Can I take Liporexall with prescription medication?
Mixing Liporexall with prescription medication is generally not an issue. However, please consult your doctor and don't make any assumptions.

If you are looking for a magic pill for weight loss this may be the closest thing. I'm not saying that you can sit on the couche alll day and eat chips but if you are willing to put a little effort into diet and exercise then you will see how it can help improve weight loss.
I was on the same diet and exercise routine the month before and lost 5 lbs. This last month I did the same diet and exercise plan with Liporexall and lost 12 lbs. It made a big difference.

For me this stuff helped me not eat as much late at night and inbetween meals. It also helped give me extra energy. My biggest problem is eating snacks all day which I have always struggled with. I would take Liporexall before breakfast and lunch and it helped me not feel so hungry. I dropped 9 lbs with this last bottle and just ordered a few more hoping that I will be able to lose about 30 pounds all together.

I was impressedh at how well it worked. I was a little skeptical at first about taking a diet pill supplement but it really did help me cut back on how much I eat. It also gives you quite a bit of energy which I am guesing it is from the caffeine.

I really needed this product to work and it did. I have been trying to lose weight since my last baby and just haven't been able to get back to normal and it had been over 8 months. I lost 15 pounds with liporexall at about 4 pounds a week. I did cut back on eating and exercised a little more but I did the same routine two months before and only lost 5 pounds. This stuff really works.

Our club anniversary is drawing near and every year on the third Saturday of January, Western Anime Video Explosion hosts a 10 hour long show, sometimes there are games to be played and prizes to be won. This afternoon (WordPress runs on a different time, so this happened on the afternoon of the 20th), the current club president and I went to the only anime store in town to pick up prizes. It's my second time going to the store, though I wasn't very helpful at picking out prizes (I suggested getting a Miku plushie, but I'm probably the only few in the club that knows who she is).
It's my second time visiting that store, during my first I found nothing of interest. This time they've got several figures, all for decent price due to the fact that I'm the only active figure collector in town. But no, I didn't buy any (and no, there were no Saber figures), I did come back with something else though.

Abstract: This paper explores the linguistic contexts, uses and meanings of the colour terms ntsho (black) and tshweu (white) in Setswana. Using a corpus data, the paper argues that the two terms display cultural and linguistic meanings which are sometimes lacking in Setswana dictionaries and certain translations. The analysis of the data reveals that the two colour terms collocate with a variety of other words in the language to result in a complex array of meanings. Further, the analysis reveals that while traditionally ntsho is associated with negative semantics, it is used in a variety of senses to celebrate heroes and heroines in Setswana culture. In a similar way, tshweu has ngative senses in certain limited contexts. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/856 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: This paper describes a new method of determining the feedback coefficients in a state variable feedback system, given the closed loop transfer function, making use of the transfer function between different and relevant points in the feedback configuration used to realize the desired closed loop transfer function, formulas that can be repetitively used to determine the feedback coefficients are desired. The usefulness and simplicity of these methods are demostrated by illustrative examples where the plant has complex poles, coincident poles and zeros and even when the plant is unstable.

Abstract: Acclaimed Edinburgh-based author Alexander McCall Smith is a professor of Medical Law and a prolific fiction writer. He has written over fifty books. It is, however, with the fictional character Ma-Ramotswe that his name is most readily associated. Ma-Ramotswe is the protagonist in McCall Smith's Ladies No. 1 Detective Agency series, which comprises six novels to date. The seventh and last in the series, Blue Shoes and Happiness, is to be released in 2006. The Ladies No. 1 Detective Agency series is widely read in thirty-two languages across the world. The novels are set in Botswana, where McCall Smith was previously in the Department of Law at the University of Botswana. The author retains a strong relationship with the country and its people. In July 2004, Alexander McCall Smith visited Gaborone, Botswana, to begin work on adapting The Ladies No. 1 Detective Agency series into a film. In this interview with Pinkie Mekgwe, McCall Smith talks about the importance of creating a character who represents "all that is fine in the human condition" in an era and geopolitical space where nihilism reigns. The author opens up on his life, work, awards, and future possibilities. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/968 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The percentage of students, especially women in engineering, is very low in Botswana and the country is still heavily dependent upon foreign human resources.The objective of this research has been to study the gender differences in education,which might have caused the current poor representation of women in engineering.The secondary school results of 749 students were statistically analyzed per gender.Three main factors were identified by factor analysis:The science-ability, the general aptitude and the memory ability factor.As to the general aptitude and the memory ability,it was found that no statistically significant difference between boys and girls exists.However, there is a difference in the science-ability factor. To strengthen this factor for girls,it requires to make the study of mathematics and science courses attractive to girls at early stage so that they are not limited in their options at the level of secondary education and thus in their career choice.

Abstract: This manuscript documents the perceptions of teachers and learners towards the Regenerated Freirean Literacy Empowerment and Community Techniques (REFLECT) approach in the delivery of literacy in Ngamiland District, Botswana. It suggests that REFLECT changed the perceptions, lives, and work experiences of learners and teachers. REFLECT caused teachers to recognize learners' knowledge and experiences. It enabled teachers to experience professional growth and engage in democratic practices and encouraged learners to make personal and group choices and take action against certain undesirable practices, such as alcoholism and the sale of beer to minors. The study argues that, compared to REFLECT, the current national literacy program is centralized and has minimal impact on participants. However, as implemented in the pilot project, REFLECT also had limitations, such as failing to generate practical solutions, demanding too much time from participants, and using poorly qualified teachers. These challenges could be addressed and REFLECT should be adopted to train regular literacy teachers nation-wide. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/1100 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The aim of this study was to analyze the depletion of soil nutrients with time on abandoned kraals in a peri-urban area of Botswana. Active kraals are enriched with nutrients through the accumulation of animal droppings and this study was aimed at assessing how long the impact of this soil nutrient enrichment persists after kraal abandonment. A total of 25 disused kraals, that had been abandoned for periods ranging from 1 to 45 years were sampled. The soil parameters analyzed included particle size distribution (%), bulk density (g/cm3), pore space (%), moisture content (%), pH in water and KCl solution, EC (μS/cm), organic matter (%), CEC (meq/100g), exchangeable Ca++(cmolc/kg), Mg++(cmolc/kg), K+(cmolc/kg), Na+ (cmolc/kg), nitrogen [NH4-N (mg/kg), NO3-N (mg/kg), TKN (%), and Olsen P (mg/kg). Results showed that soil nutrient concentrations on abandoned kraals generally were significantly higher than at the control sites. Soil nutrient concentrations decreased with time as abandoned kraals retrogressed towards their pre-kraal conditions. However, the effects of soil nutrient enrichment from animal wastes persist long after kraal abandonment. For example, soil Olsen P, Ca++ and Mg++ levels in kraal sites that had been abandoned for over 45 years were still significantly higher than in the control sites. In a pastoral system such as is practiced in Botswana where kraal manure is not used as soil amendment, the whole ecosystem suffers as soil nutrients are transferred and concentrated at isolated spots (kraals).

Abstract: Student learning is influenced by many factors which educational research is tasked to determine and feed into the teaching-learning process to enhance its effectiveness. Several studies with different populations have determined that that to which a learner attributes his or her performance significantly influences such performance. To determine some of the factors that significantly impact upon students' causal attribution of their performance on mathematics, this study ana1ysed, using chi-square (c2) statistics, survey research data from 717 Form D (Form 4) students from 30 randomly selected secondary schools in the Kingdom of Lesotho. The results showed that while gender of students had no significant influence on students attribution of their performance in mathematics, the person with whom the students were living, students' preferred occupation after school, type of proprietor of schools, and preferred classroom seating zone during mathematics lesson, each had significant influence on this variable. Based on these results, appropriate discussions and recommendations were made. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/1094 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: This study investigated the influence of the accumulation of animal wastes on the soils of active kraal sites through time. This investigation involved the sampling and analysis of the soils of kraals that had been in use for periods ranging from 2 to over 45 years. Soil sampling and analysis were done both in the dry and wet seasons for comparative purposes. The properties of the kraal soils were compared with those of control sites. Samples were taken from 25 kraals categorized into 5 age (length of use) groups: < 5years; 6 - 10; 11 - 20; 21 - 40; > 40 years. The soils were sampled at two depths, 0 – 15 and 15 – 35 cm. Soil parameters analyzed included particle size distribution (%), bulk density (g/cm3), pore space (%), moisture content (%), pH in water and in potassium chloride solution, EC (μS/cm), organic matter (%), CEC (meq/100g), exchangeable bases: Ca++(cmolc/kg), Mg++(cmolc/kg), K+(cmolc/kg), Na+(cmolc/kg); nitrogen: NH4-N (mg/kg), NO3-N (mg/kg), TKN (%), and Olsen P (mg/kg). Results showed a direct correlation between length of active kraal utilization and impact of animal waste concentration on the soil with correlation coefficients as high as r = 0.99 and r = 0.95 for pH and OM respectively. Nutrient levels in kraal soils of all ages were significantly higher (P = 0.05) than those of the control site soils. Most nutrient elements showed increases ranging from about 2 - 30 times greater than in the control site soils. Soil nutrient levels were higher in the dry season than in the wet season. The nutrient enrichment in the kraals extended deep into the soil, at least, to the 35 cm depth. The organic and nutrient enrichments of the soils also had very positive effects on soil moisture and structural characteristics. However, this highly localized nutrient enrichment of kraal soils is detrimental to the long term sustainability of arid ecosystems and soil productivity. The nutrients concentrated in kraals have been harvested from the surrounding areas by grazing animals and transferred to the kraal sites. In a situation of sedentary kraaling that exists in semi arid lands of Botswana where rotation of kraal sites or the harvesting of animal manure from kraals for use as soil manure is not commonly practiced, the concentration of soil nutrients at scattered kraal spots causes an imbalance in the spatial pattern of soil and plant productivity in the arid land ecosystem. The entire ecosystem is made poorer by this phenomenon. Description: Full Length Research Paper URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10311/1095 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: In parallel (IR) systems, where a large-scale collection is indexed and searched, the query response time is limited by the time of the slowest node in the system. Thus distributing the load equally across the nodes is very important issue. Mainly there are two methods for collection indexing, namely document-based and term-based indexing. In term-based partitioning, the terms of the global index of a large-scale data collection are distributed or partitioned equally among nodes, and then a given query is divided into sub-queries and each sub-query is then directed to the relevant node. This provides high query throughput and concurrency but poor parallelism and load balance. In this paper, we introduce new methods for terms partitioning and then we compare the results from our methods with the results from the previous work with respect to load balance and query response time.

Abstract: Investigation of the roots of Ceriops tagal led to the isolation of a new isopimarane, together with the known diterpenes isopimar-8(14)-en-15,16-diol and erythroxyl-4(17),15(16)-dien-3-one. The structure of the new compound was identified as isopimar-8(14)-en-16-hydroxy-15-one. These structures were determined from extensive spectroscopic data analysis. The isolates were screened for antibacterial activity using the agar dilution method against ten test bacterial strains (Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Micrococcus kristinae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella pooni, Serratia marcescens, Staphylococcus aureus, S. epidermidis and Streptococcus pyrogens). Isopimar-8(14)-en-16-hydroxy-15-one exhibited activity, with MIC values of 0.5 mg/mL against Streptococcus pyrogens; 0.25 mg/mL against Salmonella pooni and 0.1 mg/mL against Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus and Micrococcus kristinae.

Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the crude extract of the twigs of Dorstenia barteri (DBT) as well as that of four of the five flavonoids isolated from this extract. Gram-positive bacteria (six species), Gram-negative bacteria (12 species) and fungi (four species) were used. The agar disc diffusion test was used to determine the sensitivity of the tested samples while the well micro-dilution was used to determine the minimal inhibition concentrations (MIC) and the minimal microbicidal concentration (MMC) of the active samples. The results of the disc diffusion assay showed that DBT, isobavachalcone (1), and kanzonol C (4) prevented the growth of all the 22 tested microbial species. Other compounds showed selective activity. The inhibitory activity of the most active compounds namely compounds 1 and 4 was noted on 86.4% of the tested microorganisms and that of 4-hydroxylonchocarpin (3) was observed on 72.7%. This lowest MIC value of 19.06 g/ml was observed with the crude extract on seven microorganisms namely Citrobacter freundii, Enterobacter aerogens, Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris, Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus stearothermophilus and Candida albicans. For the tested compounds, the lowest MIC value of 0.3 g/ml (on six of the 22 organisms tested) was obtained only with compound 1, which appeared as the most active compound. This lowest MIC value (0.3 g/ml) is about 4-fold lower than that of the RA, indicating the powerful and very interesting antimicrobial potential of isobavachalcone (1). The antimicrobial activities of DBT, as well as that of compounds 1, 3, 4, amentoflavone (5) are being reported for the first time. The overall results provide promising baseline information for the potential use of the crude extracts from DBT as well as some of the isolated compounds in the treatment of bacterial and fungal infections.

Abstract: The crude extract from the twigs of Dorstenia elliptica (DET) as well one of the five compounds isolated from this extract namely O-[3-(2, 2-dimethyl-3-oxo-2H-furan-5-yl)-3- hydroxybutyl]bergaptol (5) were tested for their antimicrobial activity against bacteria and fungi. The Agar disc diffusion test was used to determine the sensitivity of the tested samples while the well micro-dilution was used to determine the minimal inhibition concentrations (MIC) and the minimal microbicidal concentration (MMC) of the active samples. The results of the disc diffusion assay showed that DET prevented the growth of all the 22 tested microbial species while the two tested compounds showed selective activity. At the tested MIC interval ranged from 1.22 to 156.25 μg/ml for the crude extracts and 0.08 to 39.06 μg/ml for the compounds, the activity of DET was noted on 20 of the 22 microbial species. The antimicrobial activities of DET as well as that compound 5 are being reported for the first time.

Abstract: The present studywas undertaken to investigate the antinociceptive and anti-inflammatory activities of the leaf and twig extracts of Dorstenia barteri (Moraceae) in mice. Both the leaf and twig extracts of Dorstenia barteri at 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg showed significant (P < 0.05-0.01) antinociceptive activities in chemical-, mechanical- and thermal-induced pain test models. Intraperitoneal administration of the plant extracts at 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg significantly (P < 0.05-0.01) inhibited carrageenin-induced acute inflammation in oedema paw weight, pulmonary oedema and number of pleural leucocytes in a dose-dependent way. The twig extract was found to be more active than the leaf extract in all the experimental models used. The inhibitory effects of the plant extracts were comparable to those of the reference drugs acetylsalicyclic acid (ASA) and phenylbutazone (PBZ) at 100 mg/kg i.p. The significant reduction in acetic acid-induced abdominal contractions, the decrease in oedema paw weight as well as in the number of leucocytes in the pleural cavity exudates, and the significant increase in the reaction time and pain threshold of mice observed in this study suggest that Dorstenia barteri extracts possess both anti-inflammatory and antinociceptive activities. The present study, therefore, lend pharmacological support to the folkloric uses of Dorstenia barteri extracts in the treatment, control and/or management of arthritis, rheumatism, gout, headache and other forms of body pains in some parts of Africa.

"I loved the simplicity of this design. The front was not too busy as to take away from the photo. It was modern and clean. I especially was drawn to the card because of the pop of yellow on the back and the option to add a photo. This is perfect if you have a photo you'd like to share that doesn't work with the card design. When the card arrived, I was really impressed by the thickness of the paper and sharpness of the photo."
"We used this card with full color pictures, and the printing came out great. I put a photo on the back with the patterned background, which was a little busy, but still cute. Very well designed, great printing job, and the shipment delivered early!! I would totally recommend this card!"
"This was a really nice announcement. It was supper easy to personalize, I tried many variations before deciding. I even put an extra picture on the back. Ordering was a snap. The shipping was really quick, in fact I was surprised how fast they came. The paper was a nice quality, and the printing was perfect. Everyone who received one commented on how cute they were (of course a cute baby will do that!). I feel like these announcements were a good value. I will definitely order from TinyPrints again."
"I was looking for a card that was simple, classic, and showcased my sion's picture. This card did exactly that without being boring. The pale green coloring is gorgeous and really completed my picture that had a white background.I have received many complements on the card."
"Love this card and it came out so well. We especially loved that it included all the birth stats on the front, and in such a clean way. It makes it very easy to add to our baby book with all his info. Our fam and friends loved it too!"

April 18, 2002 Dear Members of the Board of Directors and Technical Review Panel (TRP), On behalf of Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF), I am pleased to submit this letter to you on the occasion of the second Board of Directors meeting of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Global Fund), scheduled to take place in New York City, April 23-24, 2002. In November 2001, we submitted a similar letter to all members of the Transitional Working Group and Technical Support Secretariat as part of the NGO consultation process. This letter seeks to highlight our ongoing concerns and priority recommendations at this critical juncture, based on our experience in the field working to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria, and to request specific, immediate action by Board members individually and/or collectively in relation to the financing of desperately needed medicines for the treatment of all three diseases. Treatment is a Medical and Ethical Imperative. As a medical humanitarian organization, MSF believes that the Global Fund must provide financing for treatment programmes for HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria. This is an ethical imperative. It is now widely accepted that treatment and prevention are mutually dependent and synergistic; that one reinforces and strengthens the other, and that prevention—whether through condom distribution, bednets, or general health education—has failed to control these three diseases alone. We know this firsthand from our experience in the field. We are therefore encouraged by the news that proposals that include well-designed treatment interventions will be eligible for funding. However, the Fund has failed to clearly spell out the critical need for addressing treatment as part of a comprehensive approach to controlling HIV/AIDS, TB or malaria, relying instead on general statements in support of "an integrated and balanced approach covering prevention, treatment, and care and support in dealing with the three diseases."1 We are deeply concerned that patients already living with HIV/AIDS, TB, or malaria will be written off despite pronouncements of support for treatment programmes that would extend or save their lives because donors and some in the international health community traditionally favour prevention at the expense of treatment, and because at least one alternate member of the Board has indicated that, particularly in the first round of funding, grants will likely "ramp up" existing programmes rather than starting de novo to introduce new interventions in order to have the "greatest impact." This does not bode well, for example, for antiretroviral (ARV) treatment programmes or malaria programmes using artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT), as there are very few existing programmes, particularly in Africa, that currently offer such treatment interventions. This is due in large part to the chronic neglect of the donor community over the last two decades, a lack of political will in some developing countries, and the high cost of ARVs, ACT, and other essential medicines. It would be a grave mistake to continue this cycle of neglect. The Global Fund must take bold steps to support new, scientifically sound, and life-saving treatment programmes. This means, among other things, pushing for the acceleration of operational research to increase knowledge on best practices for implementing new combination treatments and diagnostic strategies in resource-poor settings. Furthermore, the Fund must commit itself to ensuring that newer, more effective, field-relevant medicines and medical technologies are made available to poor countries at affordable prices as soon as they are developed. It is Vital to Improve Treatment Interventions, Not Expand Use of Ineffective Treatments. It is of vital importance that the Global Fund be used to support improvement of treatment interventions, and that it does not inadvertently facilitate the expanded use of ineffective treatments. Yet the Fund has not taken a clear stand on the need to make ARVs, second line TB treatments, or new, more effective anti-malarials available (at the lowest possible cost). For instance, in the case of malaria treatment, it would be wrong to support programmes that continue to use treatments in areas where they have lost their effectiveness due to resistance on the basis that they are inexpensive. Where resistance to traditional first-line treatments—especially chloroquine and sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP)—is high, malaria treatment must include not only traditional antimalarials, but also artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT), as per the recommendations of the world's leading malaria experts convened by WHO in April 2001, and the February 2002 statement of Roll Back Malaria on Malaria and Resistance. MSF has witnessed this critical need firsthand. For example, in response to the outbreak of malaria in Burundi at the end of 2000, MSF teams diagnosed and treated malaria in the hard-hit provinces of Kayanza, Ngozi, Karuzi and Cankuzo and over a period of six months treated over 1.2 million patients. The epidemic is estimated to have affected nearly 3 million people in Burundi and resulted in thousands of deaths. These 3 million patients were treated with ineffective medicines—not only by the Burundian health authorities and other NGOs, but also by MSF itself—because chloroquine remains the first-line treatment in Burundi's national protocol due in large part to the cost of more effective alternatives such as ACT. During the course of the epidemic, MSF teams carried out several resistance studies and found that resistance to chloroquine in Burundi is as high as 90% in some areas, and resistance to SP is as high as 63% in some areas. The World Health Organization recommends changing treatment protocols when resistance to first-line drugs reaches 25%. To address the broader issues raised by our experience in Burundi, MSF recently released a report about changing malaria treatment protocols in Africa where resistance to first-line drugs is high (please see the enclosed report entitled "Changing National Malaria Treatment Protocols: What Is the Cost and Who Will Pay?"). The central concern of the paper is with the growing rates of resistance to chloroquine and SP in Africa, namely in Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, and Burundi, and the possibility that these countries, which are ready to change their national malaria treatment protocols, will, possibly for financial reasons, settle on a sub-optimal "mid-term" protocol (e.g. amodiaquine + SP) rather than the clearly more effective choice of ACT. The paper provides a cost analysis for the region of the proposed mid-term solution versus the proposed optimal solution, and estimates that US$19 million in additional funding is needed annually for the five target countries to make the medically appropriate treatment protocol change—an investment that is surely worthwhile for the number one killer of African children. MSF's report urges international donors to step in to provide the necessary funds and specifically calls on the Global Fund to address this issue. The needed treatment is already available in Africa, but only at high prices in some private pharmacies. By financing malaria treatment programmes that include ACT, the Global Fund can play a crucial role in overcoming this inequity and ensuring that all people who need it, including the poorest and most vulnerable, have access to effective malaria treatment. Purchasing Drugs at the Lowest Possible Cost is Essential. We are deeply concerned about the sort of technical advice being given to potential recipient countries—by donor governments, the World Health Organisation, and others—in relation to purchases of medicines. Specifically, we are outraged that countries have apparently been advised that they will only be able to purchase patented drugs for their programmes. In the proposal to the Global Fund from Malawi, for example, it clearly states the following: "At present, we are assuming that the Global Fund will only finance patented drugs. This is in line with consultations with WHO and the donor community and initial documents from the Technical Support Secretariat. If however, Global Fund rules permit the use of generic drugs, the proposal and programme budget will be amended to reflect this."2 To ensure that international funding mechanisms, including the Global Fund, offer treatment to the highest number of people possible, it is essential that funds be available for bulk purchases of medicines and medical technologies at the lowest possible cost, through international tender. In its statement of underlying principles, the Fund claims that "[i]n making its funding decisions, the Fund will support proposals which...[a]re consistent with international law and agreements, respect intellectual property rights, such as Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS), and encourage efforts to make quality drugs and products available at the lowest possible prices for those in need."3 As we pointed out in our letter to the TWG and TSS of November 9, 2001—and as confirmed by the above quotation from the Malawi proposal—this statement is easily misinterpreted and must be clarified publicly. The TRIPS Agreement can and does have negative consequences for public health in poor countries. However, it also has safeguards to balance public and private interests and ensure that patents do not pose a barrier to access to medicines. At the 4th Ministerial Conference of the World Trade Organization held in Doha, Qatar, in November 2001, the world's trade ministers issued a landmark Declaration on the TRIPS Agreement and Public Health, which stated: "We agree that the TRIPS Agreement does not and should not prevent members from taking measures to protect public health. Accordingly, while reiterating our commitment to the TRIPS Agreement, we affirm that the Agreement can and should be interpreted and implemented in a manner supportive of WTO members' right to protect public health and, in particular, to promote access to medicines for all. In this connection, we reaffirm the right of WTO members to use, to the full, the provisions in the TRIPS Agreement, which provide flexibility for this purpose."4 This Declaration was an important achievement because the text gives clear primacy to the protection of public health over private intellectual property, as well as an unambiguous road map to all the key flexibilities in the TRIPS agreement. The Global Fund must make clear beyond the shadow of a doubt that applicants have the option of purchasing generics with Global Fund money. We therefore call on all members of the Board, whether individually and/or collectively, to issue a clearly articulated public statement during the Board meeting indicating that the Global Fund explicitly supports purchases of lowest cost drugs, whether generic or brand-name, and the use of TRIPS-legal safeguards to override patents when they constitute a barrier to access. The Global Fund should also clearly specify that these measures are fully compliant with TRIPS and in keeping with the spirit and letter of the Doha Declaration. Without a deliberate strategy to ensure that funding can be used to purchase quality drugs from both generic and proprietary producers—including those located in developing countries—funds will be squandered. To secure drug quality, the Fund should also explicitly support the WHO's project to pre-qualify manufacturers of drugs and diagnostics related to HIV/AIDS, and encourage its expansion to other diseases, including malaria and TB. These principles related to procurement of drugs and diagnostics are crucial because prices of medicines and other essential health care goods will have a profound impact on the reach and effectiveness of the Global Fund. Antiretroviral drugs for the treatment of HIV/AIDS provide a good illustration: the cost of ARVs from proprietary companies—even at deeply discounted prices—are, for certain regimens, three times more expensive than ARVs from generic manufacturers.5 Using the lowest cost suppliers will increase by as much as three times the number of patients who can be treated with the same amount of money, and will allow for greater investments in other important components of care and prevention. We know this firsthand from our experience in the field in our ARV demonstration projects. For example, in our ARV project in Khayelitsha, a poor township on the Western Cape in South Africa, the cost-savings generated by switching from patent-protected brand name ARVs to generic versions made a tremendous difference in the overall cost of the programme. These cost-savings have allowed us to expand our programme from a total enrollment capacity of 180 to 400 on virtually the same budget. More Funds Desperately NeededThe Global Fund holds a promise—yet unfulfilled—for the millions of people in Africa, Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, and other high-burden countries living with HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria who desperately need access to life-saving and life-prolonging treatment. To date, the Fund has received funding requests totaling US$5 billion over five years, and yet the total amount of multi-year financing pledged is merely US$1.9 billion and the amount of funding available for disbursement in the first funding cycle is approximately US$200 million.6 This falls drastically short of the needs and will be a major disappointment for all of those who have placed great hope in the ability of the Fund to reduce the death rates from these three treatable diseases. We call on you as members of the Board to take whatever steps necessary to ensure that donors immediately allocate additional resources to the Global Fund and other financing mechanisms to fight these three diseases. Conclusion It is essential that a long-term, sustainable solution to the access to medicines crisis be developed and supported by governments and multilateral agencies, which are responsible for responding to global public health needs. Your leadership on the Board of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria will be key if it is to succeed, and will ultimately determine whether it becomes a crucial part of an effective global response to HIV/AIDS, TB, and malaria. We urge you to strongly support the recommendations presented in this letter and the enclosed reports to guarantee access to effective and affordable medicines and medical technologies at the best possible price. We believe that unless the Global Fund urgently addresses these issues, it will not be able to make good on its promise to alleviate the burden of AIDS, TB and malaria. For millions of people in developing countries, this is a matter of life and death. Sincerely, Bernard Pécoul, MD, MPH |

COLORADO: Politicans take your gun rights? Fire them!
The big news today is Colorado Senate President John Morse of Colorado Springs is being recalled, along with Senator Angela Giron of Pueblo.
Unfortunately I'm *just* outside his district (literally across the street) and will have to settle for agitating my Colorado Springs neighbors against his gun-grabbing nonsense (and other fun activities).
This is probably the most libertarian city/county/state I've ever lived in and there's so many military vets that Pueblo claims to be the "Home of Heroes". This "libertarian" assertion may seem odd considering the proximity to military bases (I can see the couple dozen or so NORAD radio towers from my house), but this real demographic shift shouldn't be a surprise to anyone paying attention. I've been here less than a year, but I'm inspired by their determination, and have finally acclimated to living over a mile above sea level.
Anyways, where was I? Some douchebag politicians taking away our guns, so let's take away their power:
A Denver judge on Thursday ruled petitions submitted to oust a pair of Democratic senators from office are valid, a pivotal ruling that sets in motion Colorado's first-ever recall election of state lawmakers.
"The petitions here substantially comply with law," Denver District Court Judge Robert Hyatt said in his oral decision from the bench. "Recalls are a fundamental right of Colorado citizens."
Shortly after Hyatt handed down the decision Thursday, Democratic Gov. John Hickenloopersigned an executive order to have the recall election date of Senate President John Morse, of Colorado Springs, and Sen. Angela Giron, of Pueblo, be held on Sept. 10.
Both are the targets of recalls by constituents for their support of stricter Colorado gun laws implemented this month.
The best part? Their recall efforts were led by a bunch of nobodies that got fed up and initiated their civic duty.
The recall is just over a month away on September 10th: Go get 'em, Coloradans!
And keep an eye out for this amendment that wipes it's ass with what's left of Morse and Giron's careers.

This presentation approaches the topic of web accessibility as a way to maximize usability. In addition, it will make the argument that accessibility helps promote universal access for all users.
Latino communities continue to grow and we continue to puzzle over how to get this significant segment of our communities into the library. This webinar will introduce practical and simple techniques that libraries of all sizes can use to begin the process of making Latinos feel welcome and comfortable in the library. Participants will learn how to work with and challenge the language and cultural barriers that keep Latinos from using the library.
Knowing that recidivism is a chronic and persistent problem among youth who have been incarcerated our presentation will take a fresh and exciting look at methods and ideas that will help support the youth offender both inside the detention and upon the youth's release from the detention center.

Harlan J. Smith Telescope
- ‹ Previous program
- 331 of 2170
- Next program ›
In the mid 1960s, NASA was planning to send robotic probes to the Moon and planets just as fast as it could build them. And it needed help from telescopes on the ground to support those missions.
But most of the existing telescopes were already pretty busy. So the ambitious new director of McDonald Observatory offered to help out. Harlan J. Smith proposed that NASA pay for a big new telescope at McDonald. The University of Texas would pay for the dome, and much of the telescope's time would be dedicated to observing the worlds of the solar system.
NASA agreed, and the new telescope was dedicated 40 years ago today.
The telescope's main mirror, which gathers light from planets and other astronomical objects, is 107 inches in diameter -- about nine feet. When the telescope was dedicated, that made it the third-largest in the world. Today, though, it's not even in the top 30. But thanks to improvements in technology, it's actually more effective today than it was 40 years ago. Its view of the sky is clearer, and it can see objects that are fainter and farther away. New upgrades this year should improve its view even more.
The telescope has undergone one other upgrade. When it was dedicated, it was known simply as the "107-inch telescope." But after Harlan Smith died, it was rededicated in his honor. The Harlan J. Smith Telescope should continue to make important contributions to astronomy for decades to come.
