10 Diseases You Don't Want to Bring Home From Vacation
Risky Trips: All tropical and many subtropical vacations. Singapore reported an outbreak of breakbone (a.k.a. dengue) fever this April, and most counties in Latin America, as well as some parts of the Caribbean, like Puerto Rico, are home to the infected mosquito that transmits the disease. Even Key West, Florida, has seen episodes.
Vital Signs: The tricky part about evading the dengue virus is that there is no vaccine— all you can do is avoid the skeeter, especially during dusk and dawn hours in hot, wet weather. A few precautions, however, should help: Always stay in rooms with protective screens and mosquito nets, and after applying sunscreen, cover yourself in insect repellant with DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus. And when taking outdoors treks, double your mosquito barrier by wearing loose, long-sleeved shirts and long pants. Symptoms won't likely occur until a week or two after your return, so see your doctor if you experience sudden fever, extreme headaches and severe muscle and joint pain post-tropical vacation. (Keep in mind that other diseases, like malaria, can mimic dengue fever symptoms too.)

Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon vetoed a bill that would have protected volunteer health care providers, including nurses, from damages in civil lawsuits without a finding of willful misconduct or gross deviation from ordinary standards of care. Nixon said volunteers who provide care in settings such as free clinics are covered by the State Legal Expense Fund, and any additional coverage should be addressed within the system.

Alex Rodriguez's fielder's choice in the seventh inning Sunday against the Detroit Tigers drove in Chris Stewart, marking the New York Yankees third baseman's 1,904th career RBI. That moved Rodriguez into eighth place on baseball's all-time list ahead of Willie Mays. Rodriquez had tied Mays with an RBI infield single earlier in the game at Yankee Stadium. Next up on the list is Eddie Murray, who drove in 1,917 runs. Rodriguez reached the majors in 1994 with the Seattle Mariners and went on to join the Texas Rangers in 2001 and then the Yankees in 2004. Beginning in 1998, Rodriguez drove in 100 or more runs in 13 straight seasons.

Behind The Mask Is Just A Man Who Lives To Love And Be Loved
My family's unwavering belief in me makes me feel that I can do anything, be anything. At the end of a hard day, a smile, a kiss and a hug are all it takes to melt them away. This blog is about the people that made a difference in my life and the many journey we travelled together. People who taught me how to love and be a better person. People who helped me find meaning in the simplest of things and appreciate my blessings. People who walked with me through the roughest of storms. People who helped me find my way and and have faith once more. People who made me realize that home is where I am happiest the most and that no matter how many of my dreams gets broken to pieces, I should never stop making new ones.

7 Totally Underrated Albums This Year That You Must Revisit ASAP
Headphones time!
May 3rd, 2012
What is that moment that you know that you've finally made it? When you get covered on YouTube? When you sweep the Grammys? When Time Magazine declares that you are one of the most influential people on the planet? Or how about when you do better than the King of Pop himself, and make an album that does better than Thriller?
All of these moments of achievement are a reality for Adele as it was just announced that her album, 21 has surpassed Michael Jackson's iconic Thriller in the U.K.'s All-Time Biggest Selling Album list. 21 is also the biggest selling album of the 21st century and has been going strong for fifteen months since its release. The number one on this list goes to Queen with their Greatest Hits album. We suppose if Adele can usurp the King of Pop, it is only a matter of time until she can topple a queen.
Watch her massive hit Rolling In The Deep below! Will Adele top Queen? Let us know what you think in the comments section.

Surf Report Mid Coast SAby Peter Mariner
27/11/2014 5:52 AM | Report
Today's rating
Conditions are clean on the Mid Coast with offshore ESE winds around 10 knots, and it's full with another big morning tide. The fading WSW swell is still managing to deliver the odd 1' set on the reefs, especially the high tide spots. By mid morning the dropping tide will start to kill it, but the beachies will probably offer some small peelers through low tide just after lunch. Southerly winds will pick up again and add bumps for the arvo, with a fresh sou-easter returning for the evening. It'll be pretty small by then. You can win a holiday to Hawaii for you and a mate - check the site for more details.

Officials warn of dangers on the thinning ice
Like many other lakes in the area, the ice on Milton Three Ponds, especially near the shore and along the route of the Salmon Falls River, is disappearing in the warm spring sunshine. (JOHN QUINN/photo)
While ice still covers most of Sunrise Lake in Middleton, the waterway is starting to open up near the dam and dark spots can be seen scattered along the snow cover. John Quinn/Union Leader
That's the message from firefighters planning to conduct ice rescue training this week.
Rochester Fire Capt. Joe Burns said he hopes the training plunge into the Cocheco River will be the only time firefighters have to don cold water suits this year.
"We don't recommend anyone going out on the ice right now," Burns said.
Milton Fire Chief Nick Marique said parts of Milton Three Ponds are ice-free, especially along the Salmon Falls River.
"It's spring now, so it's not safe," Marique said.
Dover Fire Capt. Paul Haas said ice should be at least four inches thick for people to walk on it safely.
Lee Fire Capt. Scott Newett said firefighters are keeping a close eye on Wheelwright Pond, along Route 152, even though he hasn't seen anyone on the ice in the past week.
In the best of circumstances, Northwood Fire Lt. David Wakeman said it takes about a dozen firefighters to rescue a person who breaks through the ice. People sometimes get into trouble trying to rescue animals, he said.
"We go out for animals more often than people," Wakeman said.
While snowmobilers enjoy traversing Sunrise Lake in Middleton, dark spots are appearing in the ice, especially near the shoreline. John Quinn/Union Leader
While ice still covers most of Sunrise Lake in Middleton, dark spots signal the end of winter spots and herald the start of boating, fishing and swimming in warmer weather. John Quinn/Union Leader

When Dr. Sasson Moulavi worked in an emergency room, he noticed a disturbing trend: heart attacks among people in their 30s and 40s. So the bariatric physician developed a diet program that uses organic ingredients, triple-filtered water, and hunger-controlling foods such as muffins, shakes, and soups to help people lose weight. There is even a cookie diet, in which a healthy cookie?formulated to be a perfect balance of fiber, protein, and amino acids?aims to help clients lose several pounds per week.
At Smart For Life offices across the country, nutrition experts and physicians guide patients to healthier lifestyles with these diet products, supervised weight-loss and wellness programs, and complex mazes that lead to bowls of salad. They also slim waists with the help of vitamin B12 injections.

The therapeutic, deep-seeking heat massages existing collagen and promotes the production of new collagen in hopes of firmer skin surfaces. The clinic and its technicians, however, don?t only offer this treatment?they also present a slate of facials, designed with essential oils, clay masks, and vitamin C. Additionally, they offer weight-loss services via vitamin injections, recipe books, and freezing one's snacks in a block of ice.

Verizon Wireless announced Wednesday it has activated an additional 38 4G LTE fill-in cell sites in the New York Metropolitan area, which includes Nassau and Suffolk counties.
The additions mean more than 90 percent of the population of the New York metropolitan area, which includes the five boroughs and Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester and Rockland counties, now has access to 4G LTE on Verizon's network.
In June, Verizon announced it had expanded its Nassau and Huntington-area 4G LTE coverage to include the South Shore and East End of Suffolk County.
Verizon also recently expanded its network coverage in 38 existing areas and launched 4G LTE in 34 new markets, bringing its reach to more than 75 percent of the U.S. population.
Executives for Verizon said the company's 4G LTE network's coverage would mirror its 3G network by the end of 2013.

European court ruling 'threatens stem cell work'
Europe's highest court says stem cells from human embryos cannot be patented, in a case that could have implications for medical research.
Scientists say the Court of Justice decision may impede European research into the use of stem cell therapies, or drive research abroad.
Others have welcomed the news, calling it a victory for human dignity.
The ruling follows a challenge by Greenpeace over a patent for nerve cells from embryonic stem cells.
Embryonic stem cells have the ability to turn into any tissue in the body.
They offer the hope of one day being able to treat diseases such as Parkinson's, stroke, heart disease and diabetes, if technical hurdles can be overcome.
The case concerns a method invented by a German professor, Oliver Bruestle, for converting human embryonic stem cells into nerve cells.
The court's decision had been seen by some scientists as critical for research into the use of stem cells as treatments for a range of diseases.
The European Court of Justice said in a statement: "The use of human embryos for therapeutic or diagnostic purposes which are applied to the human embryo and are useful to it is patentable.
"But their use for purposes of scientific research is not patentable."
It added: "A process which involves removal of a stem cell from a human embryo at the blastocyst [early embryo] stage, entailing the destruction of that embryo, cannot be patented."
To date there have been just two human clinical trials involving embryonic stem cells - the first in Europe was announced a few weeks ago. There are, by contrast, many successful therapies using adult stem cells derived from the patient themselves. But stem cell researchers fear the ruling could damage this whole field of research and drive much of it abroad - to America and Asia. Patents are important if pharmaceutical companies are to recoup their investment in clinical trials and turn a profit. Lawyers are already suggesting there may be a way round the ruling, by patenting the therapeutic process rather than the stem cells themselves.
Prof Pete Coffey of the Institute of Ophthalmology in London, who is researching the use of stem cell treatments for blindness, said the decision was "devastating".
He told the BBC: "This could really halt the progress of stem cell therapies for as yet untreatable diseases."
Prof Coffey is among several leading UK scientists who wrote a letter expressing concern over an earlier recommendation by the advocate-general of the court.
Scientists were concerned that the ruling would threaten the future of medical research, saying companies in Europe would be less likely to invest in research to develop therapies using embryonic stem cells.
But Greenpeace in Germany, which triggered the case, argued it was unethical to issue a patent based on cells from a human embryo.
Greenpeace says it is not opposed to stem cell research itself, but to the idea that patents can be granted for scientific discoveries as opposed to inventions.
The court ruled in the group's favour.
Peter Liese, of the EPP Christian Democrat group at the European Parliament, welcomed the court's ruling.
He said: "We are in favour of research and development in biotechnology, but human beings must not be destroyed, not even in the early stages of their development."
The German Bishops' Conference, part of the Catholic Church, called the ruling a "victory for human dignity," and said it strengthened its view that a human being begins life at the moment of conception.'Ridiculous'
Commenting on the decision, Prof Austin Smith of the Wellcome Trust Centre for Stem Cell Research, University of Cambridge, said: "This unfortunate decision by the court leaves scientists in a ridiculous position.
Stem cells
- Stem cells are found in the embryo, the foetus, placenta, umbilical cord, and in many different tissues of the body
- There are three types: tissue (adult) stem cells, embryonic stem cells and engineered pluripotent stem cells
- Stem cells can be used to study development and disease, and have a host of potential medical applications, although there are many technical hurdles
"We are funded to do research for the public good, yet prevented from taking our discoveries to the marketplace where they could be developed into new medicines.
"One consequence is that the benefits of our research will be reaped in America and Asia."
Prof Bruestle, of Bonn University, who was initially awarded the patent, said: "With this unfortunate decision, the fruits of years of translational research by European scientists will be wiped away and left to the non-European countries.
"European researchers may conduct basic research, which is then implemented elsewhere in medical procedures, which will eventually be reimported to Europe. How do I explain this to my students?"

Local Bands Getting TV, Film Exposure
By Alison Babka
Modest Mouse's first full-length album in four years begins with a tease: "Horn Intro," a nine-second blast of bewildering brass. Is the band responding to the critical acclaim for 2000's The Moon & Antarctica by shelving the guitars in favor of Kid A-style jazz freakouts? If so, why is "Horn Intro" so inexplicably damn funny, as if a New Orleans funeral procession marched into the studio by mistake, and Isaac Brock just said, "What the hell?"
Fear not. The first two songs resolve any doubts: Good News for People Who Love Bad News is, triumphantly, a classic Modest Mouse album. "The World at Large" opens simply, a basic chord progression strummed gently on electric guitar, then slowly builds layer upon layer of gorgeous sound -- percussion, mellotron, even a whistle -- while Brock sings of the passage of time and the need to keep moving across the lonesome, crowded West: "The days get longer and the nights smell green/I guess it's not surprising but it's spring and I should leave." This fades into the drunken-sing-along "Float On," a perfect absurdist pop song in the tradition of Talking Heads' "Once in a Lifetime" and a showcase for new drummer Benjamin Weikel.
As for the New Orleans funeral procession, it's present in spirit. Death haunts these songs. "Ocean Breathes Salty" pointedly asks, "You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste the afterlife?", a poet's ghost hangs around "Bukowski," and even the uptempo "Black Cadillacs" gets its title from an ominous image: "clouds that just hung around/like black Cadillacs outside a funeral." But like the stately brass following the casket, Modest Mouse is able to find beauty, grace and even humor in death's long shadow.

6 Things To Know About Dave Franco, James' Little Brother
At the Franco dinner table, Dave may sound like the underachiever when compared to older brother James, who recently hosted the Oscars, is slated to star in and direct several high-profile projects, and is working on, like, a zillion different graduate degrees at once. But can we talk for a second about how freaking cute Dave is? And his acting career is starting to take off—he has just been cast in "21 Jump Street," the movie reboot of Johnny Depp's star-making show.

Meanwhile, James gets a C for having stank face throughout the whole show. Also, was it just me, or did he seem to be squinting to read the teleprompter an awful lot?

T6DD Afghanistan2014-03-18 16:40:06
4O4A will be active from Afghanistan until 15 September 2014 as T6DD
Excavations of prehistoric sites by Louis Dupree and others suggest that humans were living in what is now Afghanistan at least 50,000 years ago, and that farming communities in the area were among the earliest in the world. An important site of early historical activities, many believe that Afghanistan compares to Egypt in terms of the historical value of its archaeological sites.
The country sits at a unique nexus point where numerous civilizations have interacted and often fought. It has been home to various peoples through the ages, among them the ancient Iranian peoples who established the dominant role of Indo-Iranian languages in the region. At multiple points, the land has been incorporated within large regional empires, among them the Achaemenid Empire, the Macedonian Empire, the Indian Maurya Empire, the Islamic Empire and the Sassanid Empire.
Many kingdoms have also risen to power in what is now Afghanistan, such as the Greco-Bactrians, Kushans, Hephthalites, Kabul Shahis, Saffarids, Samanids, Ghaznavids, Ghurids, Kartids, Timurids, Mughals, and finally the Hotaki and Durrani dynasties that marked the political origins of the modern state.

LONDON, 11 December, 2012 - Genpact Limited (NYSE: G), a global leader in business process management and technology services, today celebrates its tenth year of providing services in Europe. The company began operations in Budapest, Hungary in 2002 and now has 11 delivery sites across Europe including Romania, Poland, Morocco, the Czech Republic and The Netherlands. In Europe, Genpact currently employs over 3,000 people who deliver results for more than 50 global clients across 11 different industries and in more than 20 languages.
Genpact Europe delivers measurable business impact for its clients - over US$100 million of business impact in 2012 alone - through core enterprise services such as finance and accounting, HR, procurement and supply chain, in addition to IT services and industry-specific solutions for banking, financial services, insurance, capital markets, life sciences, consumer goods, retail, and manufacturing services. Genpact's European operations are also strengthened by its Smart Decision Services encompassing analytics, process re-engineering and risk management, as well as its Smart Enterprise Processes (SEPSM) framework for making business processes more effective.
Genpact continues to expand its business in Europe. Earlier this year Genpact extended its footprint by adding operational centers in The Netherlands, Poland and the Czech Republic. Genpact's growth was complemented by winning contracts to serve diverse global corporations from Genpact's European centers including Telefónica, the third largest telecommunications provider in the world, and Momentive, a leading specialty chemicals and materials company.
Genpact's success in Europe has also been validated this year through a series of industry awards. From the European Outsourcing Association (EOA), Genpact received awards in the "Innovation in Outsourcing," with its Smart Enterprise Processes framework, and "Outsourcing End User of the Year" categories. In conjunction with its client AstraZeneca, Genpact received the "Best F&A/Procurement" engagement award from The Outsourcing Center and the "Excellence in People and Communication" award from the Shared Services Outsourcing Network (SSON).
"Having started from scratch with a plan to serve GE in Western Europe, we have now helped establish an industry employing thousands of talented people across Europe," said Ahmed Mazhari, senior vice president, Sales and Marketing for Genpact Europe.

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things. The difference ...

The major cloud platforms defy a simple, side-by-side analysis. Each of the major IaaS public-cloud platforms offers their own unique strengths and functionality. Options for on-site private cloud are diverse as well, and must be designed and deployed while taking existing legacy architecture and infrastructure into account. Then the reality is that most enterprises are embarking on a hybrid cloud strategy and programs.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.

The book showcases photos taken by the Manpower Minister during his travels. The proceeds will benefit the National Kidney Foundation, the Movement for the Intellectually Disabled of Singapore, Thye Hua Kwan Moral Society and Cheng Hong Welfare Society.
SINGAPORE: Manpower Minister Tan Chuan-Jin has raised over S$900,000 through the sale of his book, a collection of travel photos. The money will be matched dollar-for-dollar by the Government, bringing the total to more than S$1.8 million.
Mr Tan said the money will be used to support four charities: the National Kidney Foundation, the Movement for the Intellectually Disabled of Singapore, Thye Hua Kwan Moral Society and Cheng Hong Welfare Society.
The photographs in the book were taken by him during his travels to various places in Asia, Europe and the United States. The book was officially launched on Friday (Aug 29), and Mr Tan also held silent auctions for a few framed prints.
"Photography for me is really about how we view the world and very much about how we view life. It really depends on the lenses with which we want to look at things. Just as with life, if you want to look at things positively or negatively, half glass full, half glass empty, with photos it's the same," he said.
"There's a lot of beauty around us, it's just whether we see it or not, even in very ordinary things. I have a picture taken in the Geylang Serai market showing an encik waiting for his taxi - little scenes like that which we take for granted, but that's really our home. And actually there's a lot of wonderful things to see in and around Singapore."

dirtybird Does Detroit – All Night Long
Point Blank presents, Justin Martin, Claude VonStroke, Eats Everything, J. Phlip, Worthy & Leroy Peppers at City Club May 26
After a truly raucous daytime BBQ during Miami Music Week, dirtybird gets ready to head to Detroit's Movement Festival, celebrating the release of Justin Martin's debut album, 'Ghettos & Gardens', in the birthplace of Techno, with a sweaty, bass-driven all-night-long blowout at the historic industrial after-hours, City Club.
WMC is a hard place for a party to stand out from the crowd, but the authenticity and sincerity behind dirtybird's label showcase and BBQ captured peoples hearts and minds in Miami; an amazing outdoor venue, and some truly special sets, including a not-to-be-forgotten sunset performance from dirtybird hero, Phife Dawg, of A Tribe Called Quest. It was a fitting way to mark ten years of dirtybird's notorious BBQ parties.
During Movement Festival the dirtybird crew close in on Detroit for one of the final legs of their HATCHED world tour, while celebrating the release of Justin Martin's "Ghettos & Gardens". As befitting a party in the heartland of Techno, the BBQ has been stowed, in favor of a serious late-night afterhours session.
Joining Justin Martin on the decks will be label founder Claude VonStroke (who plays this year's Movement Festival), Eats Everything, J. Phlip, Worthy and Leroy Peppers (Christian Martin).
It's fitting that Detroit will serve as the launch for Justin Martin's album. Much like that city, Justin's debut is both tender and tough, sliding between delicate melodic moments, gritty basslines and devastating drops. Just as Detroit's musical history is rich and varied, Martin refuses to be pigeonholed on 'Ghettos & Gardens', slipping through house, Techno, funk and hip-hop, to deliver one of dirtybird's most original releases yet.
City Club is one of Detroit's most storied venues, it originally served as the ballroom for the historic Leland Hotel that is perched above the club. In 1983 it opened as 'Lidernacht' or night song in Germany and hasn't looked back. Aside from Detroit techno icons like Derrick May, the venue has hosted the likes of Depeche Mode, the Beastie Boys, Nice Inch Nails, Public Enemy and more.
This event is 18+.

Sick of adverts? Click here to join up for free and be rid of them.
Few of these models could be imagined by looking at the flat 'nets' but glue them together step by step and the shapes appear. Once the models are made, there are many ways to decorate them; Paint, felt tip pens, coloured pencils or enamel can all be used, or invent your own decorations.
These models make fine decorations, and they can be hung from threads to make attractive mobiles.
Product reviews...
OK, unlike many of the other books like this, these shapes are all blank. No pre-printed artwork, no fancy designs, just the cut and score lines, and some reference markers so you can put them together the right way.
Personally, I love that about them! It means that you can design your own fun and funky artwork. Perhaps cut your favourite cartoon characters out of a book, or print some cool designs off the net, anything you can dream up really.
The models are, on the whole, fairly basic which makes them a great introduction to building geometric solids from flat 'nets' of heavy paper or card. There are a few challenging models, once you feel up to speed, so get stuck in and enjoy.
Overall, I would say this is a wonderful book, and my only regret is that to make the best use of it, you have to cut it up. If you are very skilled, you could copy the designs onto heavy paper and use them instead, but that might be more hassle than it's worth for most people.
