*soundclash |'soun(d),clash| noun.- two or more DJ's/Sound Systems in a head to head battle over who has the best/livest/ rarest and most party-rockin dubplates and exclusives in their record box
March 27 2007 – That's Dave Q (Dub War) on the left vs Geko Jones and 3rd Rayl (Funkworthy FM) on the right. Hosted by Deffrei – 'The 456' (Ahficionados/Soulvibes Digital).
A couple of years ago, some friends and I decided it would be fun to put together a soundclash series that allowed for several genres of the reggae/ragga/dub persuasion including, but not limited to, dancehall, jungle, rocksteady, ska, dubstep , garage and the occasional broken to bits type tune that ya can't really classify. We wanted all the vibes of a traditional Jamaican clash but alternative sound systems and rounds.
The following is a recording of the clash in the video. Dub War's resident vibes man- Juakali – was out of town, so dubstep mafioso Dave Q of Dub War is here rollin longside the Hip-step/Junglist and Zulu King- TC Izlam vs my sound system, Funkworthy FM backed by the Lyrical Gungourgon – Jahdan Blakkamoore.
Our host was well-wasted by this point in the evening and having trouble controlling the crowd. I'd had a rocky first round train-wrecking blends that I had rehearsed a hundred times and was consequentially playing catch up. I mostly blame myself and my love of Guinness for that first round- live and learn. Since then, I definitely try and keep myself moderately sober till after I've performed. I remember the frustration of not being able to correct the mixes and the distinct feeling something was off with my gear. Two weeks later, one of the turntables I was using rolled to a stop and died in the middle of another party we were doing! Dave Q too faced his own set technical difficulties. Some kind of blow out or disconnect on his set up forced us share the rig on my side of the stage, taking the clash went into extra innings.
I had managed to let my ego convince me that beating Dub War in the tune for tune round was gonna be easy. There was no way DQ was gonna pull out specials like mine. I knew a fair number of the titles he was playing and he didn't have any real soundclash dubplates for me to worry about.
*dubplate|dub'plait| noun.- an exclusive limited-edition or one-off record used to kill soundboys. In Jamaican clash context, its a battle tune voiced by an original artist that bigs up ur sound system. In the UK, unreleased pressings in jungle, dubstep and grime are also considered dubs.
The third tune he played, the one from the video, was a 45 the Heatwave released called Mad LDN and I had it in my bag that night (shouts to Gabe and man like Rubidan). Its a fun tune, but a released tune nonetheless… nothing exclusive about that. I honestly thought we had already won on the strength of the first two dubs. I thought about playing the 45 back at him, which hindsight would have probably been a better selection. I thought about running The Police dub Jahdan voiced for me, which we'd won the last clash with. Or the Mr Easy dub. So many options…………..only 30 seconds to decide.
All I could hear in my head was the crowd's reaction to the Sugar Minott dub I'd just played specially recorded for the event. I stuck decided to stick to my dub pistolas and played another exclusive. A gyal-choon called She Told Me by Noble Society feat 77 Klash. I'd just finished the 140 night nurse version for this tune with Fuego Campo and knocked out both a Gregory Issacs special and a new choon on the riddim that month and had them both cut to 12″- of course I was gonna play that shit! It was the right tune- the ladies loved it- at the wrong time- my dudes thought it too soft a response. I sunk the eightball and Dave Q got the forward… and the crown… a fair fight.
Wounded- but not buried. I vowed to regain my thrown.
Dub War came back with Juakali to defend their title a few months later vs Shadetek and Jahdan Blakkamoore. Dutty Artz sweep the leg for a 3-0 victory! Now, who waan tes' the champion sound?

We value excellent academic writing and strive to provide outstanding essay writing services each and every time you place an order.We write essays, research papers, term papers, course works, reviews, theses and more, so our primary mission is to help you succeed academically.Yes, it's called a layer cake, and pretty much any cake you buy at a grocery store is constructed in the same manner. Well, you're wasting your time reading this, aren't you?I totally saw this on Something Awful's Goons with Spoons Rainbow Cake thread, way to steal the idea, asshole. And in fact, I posted my original rainbow cake there.Drop in your first three colours, then work on the other pan with the last three colours.
Two girls—both dressed in pale yellow, with child-puffy cheeks, black shoulder-length hair, and bangs—stand opposite each other under fluorescent lights. "Hello." ¶ The girl repeats the word, quietly, to her robot-self. ¶ Her father feeds her another line: "Let's play." The android wiggles its head. Each member of this pair continues making the barely there gestures that serve, through reflex or ruse, as signs of life: Each blinks at regular intervals; each tilts her head from side to side. His daughter looks to him, then back at the android. They have included replicas of a newscaster, an actress, and a fashion model.
Since kids don't really need fat-free anything, there's no need to use the soda recipe if you don't like the idea, and if you don't like dye, don't make this for dinner for them every night for a month. Edit 2 (two weeks later) A note to Weight Watchers (the people on the diet, not the company): WW has long advertised 1/12 of a cake mix with diet soda to be a "one point cupcake." I have no idea why they insist this is the case when according to the "as packaged" nutrition information, this much cupcake has 170 calories, 3g fat and no fiber . Edit 3 (two months later) FAQ Here are questions I get over and over again about this cake. You baked it too long/didn't grease enough/didn't bake long enough/moved it before it was cool.

7th June 2013 – Mr Nick Hamilton, son of Geoff, talks about 'Barnsdale – The Television Years'
We welcomed Nick Hamilton, son of Geoff, to talk to us at the Sinden Theatre, Homewood School. I am sure that everyone who attended thoroughly enjoyed the evening.
Nick began with a history of his father's career, particularly Geoff's 17 years of presenting BBC's 'Gardeners' World' from his own garden at Barnsdale, Rutland. Geoff was editor of 'Practical Gardening' magazine' – the top gardening magazine of the day – when he was invited to make a guest appearance on the programme. From 1979 until his death in 1996 he was the show's regular and longest-serving presenter.
For 4 days in every fortnight, two enormous, olive green, BBC Outside Broadcast lorries, with a crew of 25 – 30, would park at the house to film and edit 2 weeks of the programme. Geoff's practical hands-on experience, down-to-earth cost-saving approach to gardening and landscaping, his desire to share his failures as well as his successes with his audience, combined with a gentle humour were the key to his success and popularity. He encouraged and enthused a generation of gardeners.
Nick showed us some examples of the results of Geoff's ideas to re-use, re-cycle and re-claim – including a painted ball-cock on top of a plant support and an amusing sculpture made out of an old lawn mower! I think many members of the audience may well be looking into their sheds and garages with fresh eyes.
Geoff was not interested in celebrity – his mission in life was to get people gardening.
He later presented other BBC series 'The Cottage Garden' (which had 9 million viewers), 'The Paradise Garden' and 'The Ornamental Kitchen Garden'
Nick's talk was a happy walk down memory lane. Geoff Hamilton certainly encouraged me to garden, when I got home I pulled his books off the shelf to look at them again, particularly his 'Gardeners' World Vegetable Book', published in 1981, which inspired me to grow my first veg on four foot wide deep beds.
For those who may be interested, there is a DVD of some of his programmes available through Amazon at just over £10 – it will definitely be on my Christmas list.
Nick continues to nurture Barnsdale, which is open to visitors for 363 days of the year, and now has 38 different gardens. We extend our thanks to him for such an interesting evening, wonderful slides and for bringing along a lovely selection of plants.

Decision against same-sex unions is disappointing
Sir — It seems that Hong Kong is embroiled in more than one battle. Last week, a Hong Kong court ruled against allowing same-sex unions in the city following a petition filed in 2018. This disappointing decision comes a few months after Taiwan became the first Asian country to legalize same-sex marriage. While recognition of LGBTQ rights has increased in Asia over the last few years, there is still a long way to go. Every democratic nation must ensure equal rights for all its citizens.
Avery Chang,
True grit
Sir — Earlier this month, Pranjal Patil, the first visually challenged woman officer of the Indian Administrative Service, was appointed sub-collector in Thiruvananthapuram. Her indomitable spirit must be appreciated. Patil, who joined as an assistant collector in Ernakulam last year, has proved that being visually challenged does not have to hinder her achievements. Her journey will inspire many other differently-abled Union Public Service Commission aspirants.
It is shameful that people who are differently-abled continue to face prejudice in society at every turn. Employers should take care to not discriminate against potential employees on the basis of physical ability. Rather, they should be given every opportunity to succeed in life.
Kiran Agarwal,
Sir — The day before India observed White Cane Awareness Day, Pranjal Patil assumed charge as the sub-collector in Thiruvananthapuram. Patil, who had been appointed in the Kerala cadre in 2018, has faced many hurdles, including an earlier rejection in civil services. In spite of ranking relatively high in 2016, she had been denied a post in the Indian Railway Accounts Service, with her lack of vision being cited as a limitation. Incidentally, the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act was enacted in the same year to protect differently-abled persons against discrimination and to ensure their access to equal employment opportunities. Patil kept fighting, and eventually became the first blind female IAS officer in India.
As she took charge, Patil rightly said, "We should never be defeated and never give up." She is a role model for all aspiring bureaucrats in this country. One hopes that her staff members extend their complete support in the coming days.
Khokan Das,
Sir — The story of the life and struggles of Pranjal Patil reminds us that nothing is impossible if one has the determination to persevere against all odds. Patil has truly struggled far more than others to achieve her goal of becoming an IAS officer. Losing vision at the age of six did not deter the young girl from Ulhasnagar, Maharashtra, from pursuing her dreams.
In spite of several hurdles, Patil has become the first visually-challenged woman in the country to hold such a high post in the bureaucracy. The old English proverb, 'where there is a will there is a way', holds completely true in this instance.
M. Pradyu,

Combining sport and dreams.
Since 2010, the Parisian saddle-maker Hermès has been hosting the Saut Hermès at the Grand Palais in Paris. This 3-day competition brings together the world's top show jumping riders and horses. The event also celebrates horse-riding with an exhibition of the company's saddlery expertise, and an original performing-arts show. This year, le Saut Hermès will also be offering visitors a virtual reality experience based on the theme of dreams.
Hermès has once again renewed its partnership with the GL events Group for the production of this prestigious event. The Group - a leading integrated event-services provider - draws on all its know-how to ensure the event is a resounding success, for both the participants and the public.
From 22 to 24 March, the world's top 50 riders will be competing in CSI 5* international show jumping classes - the highest category of show-jumping competition organised by the French Equestrian Federation (FFE) and the International Equestrian Federation (FEI).
In addition, a total of 20 young international riders (sponsored by riders taking part in the CSI 5* classes) will be competing in "The Talents Hermès" classes organised each day, underlining one of Hermès core values: sharing experience and handing down knowledge to the next generation. All the riders are under 25 years old.
The layout of the 10 courses has been entrusted to the Spanish international course designer, Santiago Varela Ullastres. He will be assisted by the French course designer Grégory Bodo and the rider Michel Robert, Sports Consultant to the Saut Hermès. Once again, the Saut Hermès promises to serve up 3 days of top-class riding events full of power and grace, speed and precision.
Simon Delestre and Hermès Ryan - Saut Hermès 2018 - © Frédéric Chéhu
The equestrian performing-arts show created especially for the event will combine technique, agility, emotion and poetry. Entitled, "L'Envol" (Take-off), the show brings together the skills and talent of the equestrian artist Lorenzo, accompanied by his 12 Lusitano-horses, and the leading violinist Nathalie Shaw, accompanied by a string orchestra.
The "L'échappée belle" (Great escape) VR-module, designed and created by Hermès, will allow visitors to experience the feeling of flying on horse-back, thanks to virtual reality.

The revolution for your air conditioning system: SONAX A/C Power Cleaner AirAid
Deep within every A/C unit many micro-organisms such as yeasts, bacteria and fungi have found their perfect habitat. The consequences are nasty odours and even the occurrence of serious allergies. The use of conventional disinfectants will kill a maximum of 99.9% of the bacteria, the surviving 0.1% will reproduce themselves millions of times over in just a few hours. In so doing, extremely dangerous mutants are created – better known as multi-resistant germ.
It´s time for a revolution: with AirAid in the A/C Power Cleaner
Active mode of action, long lasting effect: Our solution is biological and non-harmful to human health. Benign cultures with the Air Aid mode of action clean the air conditioning unit as well as the ventilation system and create a healthy microflora.
Quick and easy application
With the Power Cleaner Air Aid, the air conditioning can be especially quickly and simply cleaned. The vehicle is ready to drive again after just 10 minute.
Switch on the air conditioning. Set circulation at the highest level – place can in the footwell area and spray empty with the touch of a button. The product distributes itself evenly in the ventilation system and the A/C unit.
Can be used preventively for new vehicles
The product is recommended for the maintenance of new and used vehicles. With regular application – approximately every six months – the SONAX A/C Power Cleaner AirAid reduces the risk of harmful germ formation and prevents unpleasant odours.
Available in four different fragrances

Predehydration steaming changes: Physicochemical properties of unripe banana flour.
Muyonga, J. H. and Ramteke, R. S. and Eipeson, W. E. (2001) Predehydration steaming changes: Physicochemical properties of unripe banana flour. Journal of Food Processing and Preservation, 25 (1). pp. 35-47.

Flour producedfiom steamed and unsteamed unripe bananas was analyzed to determine the effect of steaming on physicochemical properties. Steaming of bananas prior to dehydration slowed dehydration of banana slices, increased water uptake, density and solubility of flour and decreased viscosity, setback, breakdown, discoloration and vitamin C content. Banana flour produced with predehydration steaming gives pastes of low paste bulk density, which is desirable for weaning and supplementary foods.

Colchester Fire District No. 1 was formally established on 29 August 1938 by unanimous act of the Select Board of the Town of Colchester. Two days earlier, the Board had received a written petition signed by forty 'freeholders' (voters), or twice the minimum number then required by State law to have a fire district. The Select Board, as enabled by State law, accepted the petition, set out the boundaries of the new fire district, and determined that its residents were "to exercise and enjoy all of the rights and privileges of a fire district under the provisions and authority of the laws of the State of Vermont and more particularly the rights and privileges authorized under Chapter 156 of the Public Laws of Vermont [1933] and the amendments thereof." The Select Board 'order' establishing Fire District No. 1 constitutes its Town charter. The first meeting of the new fire district was called (or warned) by the Select Board and duly held on 5 September 1938 at Saint Michael's College, at which the first Prudential Committee and district officers were elected.
The following year, on 14 April 1939, the Vermont General Assembly (legislature) passed a statute (no. 280 of that year) specifically enabling Fire District No. 1 to build and maintain a water works (or system), giving it the ability to acquire water supply and build transmission lines not only anywhere within the Town of Colchester but to contract with any municipality, corporation or individuals in Chittenden Country to obtain its water supply. The statute enabled the district, as a municipal corporation, to enter into inter-municipal agreements, to issue bonds and to do other things needed to meet its water needs. The District's Prudential Committee was enabled to serve as the water commissioners. This 1939 statute constitutes the District's State charter, adding to the powers and responsibilities it had as a fire district under chapter 156 of the Public Laws of Vermont those provided under chapter 157 for water works.
On 16 May 1961, following the deactivation of neighboring Fort Ethan Allen, a State statute (no. 310 of that year) confirmed the organization of all three Colchester fire districts and clarified their respective boundaries.

Our Seven Kings centre in on Meads Lane, South Redbridge. Tuition classes run...
CGP Books (author, editor)
Key Stage 4 is a particularly important time for students, as most of them take their GCSE exams at this stage. (GCSE stands for General Certificate of Secondary Education) These are often the first educational qualifications that students receive in their lives and really are the baseline for any further advancement. Most employers will ask for 5 GCSE's and further education institutions will often require more. The main emphasis will be on the core GCSE subjects.
GCSE results and other relevant qualifications affect students prospects for education at College and University. Whether students choose to take a vocational route and learn a trade or set down a more academic path, achieving some solid GCSE grades is still an important stepping-stone.
Schools usually decide, either to teach GCSEs over two years (years 10 and 11) or three years (years 9, 10 and 11). It is worth finding out which is applicable to your child.
Not Sure What's Best For Your Child?
The compulsory national curriculum consists of 'core' and 'foundation' subjects.
Core subjects are:
English (English language is compulsory in all schools and Englsih literature is compulsory in most schools)
science (this can be split into triple science or double science)
All students must take PE in years 10 and 11 but do not have to take it as a GCSE subject
Foundation subjects are:
physical education
Schools must also offer at least one subject from each of these areas:
arts (music, drama, media studies and art and design)
technical subjects (design and technology, food technology and computer science)
humanities (history, geography and RE)
modern foreign languages (most schools offer French, Spanish and German but some schools will have other languages also)
Schools must also provide religious education (RE) and sex education at key stage 4.
In England, there are 3 main exam boards:
AQA (assessment and qualifications alliance)
OCR (Oxford, Cambridge and RSA)
Edexcel (Pearsons)
There are a couple of other examining boards, but the above three are the main ones schools use.
Our tutors will be able to discuss your child's exam board in further detail.
In 2015, the Government started to phase-in changes to the grading system. This was mainly carried out to boost the UK's international educational reputation and make it easier for institutes of higher education to differentiate between candidates.
This change was not merely reflected in the grading system but was reflected in the content, especially in the STEM subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics).
Below, is a table breaking down the approximate equivalent grades:
We aim to help our students navigate the content at Key Stage 4.
Along with the content, a thorough understanding of each board and how marks are awarded is an essential component of preparing for GCSEs.
At Redbridge Tuition, we place an emphasis on helping children understand the way the real exam works and familiarise them with the types of questions they may get in the real exam. We also try to ensure that they are continuing to develop the skills and confidence that will allow them to take the subject further into A Level if they so wish.
Ensuring that students have a consistent, enjoyable educational experience is important for their development, which is why we are producing our own teaching materials and have subject specialists teaching each subject.

Score board
A draw was unavoidable after just 86.2 overs were possible on the first four days after significant rain in Sydney.
The West Indies, who restarted on 248-7, were 330 all out before Warner reach on an 82-ball century, the fastest at Sydney, as Australia reached 176-2.
Australia were 2-0 up in the chain, but them stop from transferring top of the Test positions.
The opening two hours of the last day were also lost to rain but Denesh Ramdin managed to finish his second half century of the match before Steve Smith caught him off Steve O'Keefe.
Lyon as O'Keefe removed Jerome Taylor for 13 to conclude with a Test snaffled a grab at point best 3-63.
By then Warner had finished his 16th Test century but both sides elected to finish the match as a draw halfway during the last session.

WASHINGTON: The United States as well as the United Kingdom on Friday expressed concern over reports of missing Pakistani social media activists.
Addressing the daily press briefing, Deputy Spokesperson State Department Mark C Toner said: "We are very concerned over reports that several Pakistani bloggers and activists have been reported missing and we're going to continue to monitor the situation."
Toner further said: "We, of course, welcome that the interior ministry announced that it's going to investigate the disappearance of one of those individuals, Salman Haider, and we also appreciate the fact that members of both houses of parliament have voiced their concern and called for an investigation into all four disappearances."
He said that President Obama was observing the situation closely and keeping an eye on the situation.
The State Department deputy spokesman confirmed the establishment of a tactical operations centre within the US Embassy in Pakistan. "There are several in our embassies worldwide. It's an embassy operations centre."
The British High Commission on Friday expressed concern over the missing social media activists in Pakistan demanding measures for their recovery from the government.
The British High Commission spokesman, in a statement released on social media, said that security should be provided to members of the family of missing activists.
"We are concerned about the disappearance of the five activists. The UK calls on the Government of Pakistan to make efforts to locate the men and return them safely to their families. The UK firmly supports freedom of expression," the statement sent out in a tweet by UK in Pakistan read.
Meanwhile according to a report from London, dozens of Pakistani human rights activists gathered outside the Pakistan High Commission here under the banner of Awami Workers Party (AWP), the UK arm of socialist Pakistani political party, to protest the enforced disappearances of online political activists.
In an alarming development, around 12 critics and activists have been picked by unknown men from across Pakistan and their whereabouts are not known despite assurance by Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar that the update about the dissident activists would be released soon. Those who have disappeared include bloggers, poets, writers, and commentators. All those who have been picked are known for their online activism, criticising government policies of appeasement of militant sectarian groups, conservatism and religious militancy. Out of the 12 missing activists, only the names of four are confirmed: Salman Haider, Waqas Goraya, Asim Saeed, and Ahmed Reza Naseer.
Many of those who attended the protest personally knew some of the missing activists. Maryam Abbas Jaffer told The News she worked with Salman Haider for over seven years in Islamabad. "Salman Haider was a kind soul. He stood against dictatorship of Pervez Musharraf and fought for the restoration of democracy and judiciary in Pakistan. He was a kind-hearted brave man who always spoke for the less privileged. His disappearance has shocked us all," she said.
Speakers called on the Pakistani government to find and return home the missing activists and ensure their safety.
Speakers called on the Pakistani authorities to respect the fundamental right of freedom of speech and assembly of the citizens guaranteed by the Constitution.
Speakers said that they were deeply concerned about the disappearances of prominent progressive activists and were unable to ascertain who is behind the disappearances but there is a clear pattern in the bloggers going missing. They said those missing were known for their anti-militancy activism and openly criticised the government policies which suggested that these activists had not been kidnapped randomly.
A petition was also presented to the Pakistan High Commission, which reminded the Pakistani government of its obligations towards protecting the rights of its citizens. "We believe that these disappearances are a threat to free speech, freedom of expression, and assembly in online spaces in Pakistan.
"We would like to ask journalists, human rights activists, scholars, media associations, writers, poets, artists, bloggers and all the voice concerned from around the world to show solidarity and support for 'missing' activists/bloggers who were critical of the establishment's policies and, through their pages and writings, were trying to create a space for progressive and democratic ideas in Pakistan," said the petition.

Free Shipping on U.S. Orders Over $50
All the excitement of entering the Great Hall for the first time just like in the Harry Potter books. You can smell all the amazing food, the toasted pumpkin drinks, the apple pies, the spices, along with the roaring fires and imagine all the other young wizards enjoying the feast.
There are two size options for this candle. It can be found in a glass 8 oz hexagon shaped jar with about 7.4 oz of soy wax (almost 8 fl. oz.) that looks like something you would find in potions class. It has a silver lid.The jar is so pretty and reusable once you burn your candle.
The other option is a 11 oz reusable whiskey glass with 8.4 oz of wax with straight sides. Works great as a drinking glass when your candle is gone! (Photo coming soon of Great Hall in a whiskey glass)
Our candles are hand-poured in small batches so colors may vary slightly. Each one is made with renewable, clean-burning soy wax made from soybeans grown in the midwestern United States. Soy wax burns longer than petroleum-based wax and is better for our environment and for our farmers too.
Trim the wick in your candle to 1/4 inch each time before you burn it.
Burn your candle for 4 hours or less at a time.
Always keep your candle on a stable, non-flammable surface within sight.

Title insurer First American Financial (NYSE:FAF) reported earnings before the bell on Thursday, beating the consensus analyst estimate on the back of higher refinance volume. The company earned $37.6 million in the first quarter, or $0.34 per diluted share. The consensus estimate was for earnings of $0.31 per share.
The company's core title insurance business led its quarterly results. Revenue for the segment jumped 10% year over year on top of a 2.2 percentage point increase in pre-tax margin. This was somewhat expected. Management revealed during its fourth-quarter conference call on Feb. 12 that refinance activity was particularly strong in January, with open orders rising 27% over the prior year.
It's notable that refinance volume as a percentage of closed orders per day jumped to 54% of residential orders, compared to 43% in the same quarter last year.
Refinance volume isn't as lucrative as purchase orders ($880 in average revenue per order for refinances vs. $1,921 for purchases during the first quarter), but it does provide a nice lift to the business when rates fall and individuals refinance in response.
One would naturally assume the seemingly endless well of refinance volume will eventually run dry as most homeowners who can refinance have probably already done so. The Mortgage Bankers Association's Refinance Index is well off its local peak in January 2015.
First American's specialty insurance segment remains a small but growing driver of revenue and earnings. Though revenue fell roughly 1% sequentially, it was up 8.5% year over year to $94.5 million, driving a 23.7% year-over-year increase in income before taxes. Pre-tax margin was once again a key player in its performance, expanding by 2.2 percentage points to 18.2% during the quarter.
In an upbeat projection for the second quarter, CEO Dennis Gilmore said he is "encouraged that purchase transactions gained momentum throughout the quarter as we moved into the spring selling season." Separately, the National Association of Realtors reported that existing home sales rose to a seasonally adjusted pace of 5.19 million homes in March, up from 4.7 million homes in March 2014.

Abstract: Up to 80% of sore throats are caused by viruses. Several over the counter products are available which provide symptomatic, not causal relief. For such lozenges, containing the antiseptics and local anesthetics amylmetacresol (AMC) and 2,4-dichlorobenzyl alcohol (DCBA) or hexylresorcinol (HR), recently an additional virucidal effect was published. Therefore, we tested a set of Strepsils® lozenges, containing either HR (Max [#2]) or AMC/DCBA (Original [#3], Extra Strong [#4], Warm [#5], Orange and Vitamin C [#6], Sugar free Lemon [#7], Children/Strawberry [#8] and Soothing Honey and Lemon [#9]) for their antiviral efficiency against representatives of respiratory viruses known to cause sore throat: human rhinovirus (HRV) 1a, HRV8, influenza virus A H1N1n, Coxsackievirus A10, and human coronavirus (hCoV) OC43. The lozenges were tested head to head with Coldamaris® lozenges (#1), which contain the patented antiviral iota-carrageenan. None of the tested AMC/DCBA or HR containing lozenges shows any antiviral effectiveness against HRV8 at the tested concentrations, whereas all are moderately active against HRV1a. Only lozenge #5 shows any activity against hCoV OC43 and Coxsackievirus A10 at the tested concentrations. Similarly, only lozenge #3 is moderately active against influenza A H1N1n virus. The data indicates that neither the isolated effect of the active ingredients nor the pH but rather one or more of the excipients of the specific formulations are responsible for the antiviral effect of some of the AMC/DCBA or HR containing lozenges. In contrast, carrageenan-containing lozenges are highly active against all viruses tested. In another experiment, we showed that binding and inactivation of virus particles by iota-carrageenan are fast and highly effective. During the residence time of the lozenge in the mouth, the viral titer is reduced by 85% and 91% for influenza A virus and hCoV OC43, respectively. Carrageenan-containing lozenges are, therefore, suitable as causative therapy against viral infections of the throat.

Well, it's that time of the year where I'm contacting secondary schools here in Melbourne about our Top Tens (Year 10) and VCE Success and Resilience workshops.
It's high energy stuff mixed in with Tai Chi meditation so it certainly makes me work. I sometimes feel like a duck paddling across a lake. On the surface everything looks calm but below the surface the duck is furiously paddling its little feet along to propel itself forward.
I'm sure most teachers can relate to the 'duck' analogy.
I've run these workshops since 2003 and have found that teaching students traditional Tai Chi can be too slow and boring so what I do is make them fun and teach selected skills they can use in a practical way. I take in my props to reinforce key themes, use fun exercises and make the sessions interactive so they don't go brain dead listening to a 'lecture' on wellbeing.
Usually in third term VCE students are under considerably pressure for their upcoming final exams so they really need practical skills to energise themselves before, during and after study periods. And they need skills they can use in the exam room to reduce their stress and maintain their focus. And of course, I'm biased, I believe that the skills I teach can help students in these situations.
Year Tens also need their energy levels balanced as next year they enter the VCE stage which is much more demanding.
I really enjoy working with students at either primary or secondary level. It's hard work but satisfying to be able to share my Tai Chi knowledge and skills with the next generation.
Maybe the other reason why I enjoy working with students is that I'm just a big kid myself.

Talented child artiste Spandan Chaturvedi who got known as the little Chakor of Indian Television, courtesy her powerful portrayal of the character in the ongoing popular show on Colors, Udann is back on the set of her successful show!!
Yes, you heard it right!!
And as a result of this very unexpected move, the small Chakor will be shown in a flashback sequence is what we hear!!
As per the ongoing track, the story is headed to a major high point wherein the grown-up Chakor (Meera Deosthale) will put to an end the atrocities of Kamal Narayan (Sai Ballal) by ending his life!!
Since Kamal has been torturing Chakor from her childhood, starting from the point where she was made a 'bandhua' by him, it is indeed a fitting climax to bring the little Chakor in action during the major death sequence of Kamal.
As per a credible source, "The little Chakor will come in front of Kamal and he will keep seeing the child and the grown-up version of Chakor as he would near his end. Ultimately all this will end in Chakor killing him with a big knife."
Spandan who initially laid the platform for the Udann success story is presently shooting for the show. Though she will be present in a very small chunk, this outing on the set of Udann will always remain memorable for her.
When contacted, Spandan's father confirmed the news saying, "Yes, Spandan has been shooting for Udann in the last few days. The sequences will be a mix of flashback and also when Kamal will see the little Chakor in front of him. Spandan is really enjoying shooting again with the cast and crew of Udann. Also, to shoot along with the grown-up Chakor (Meera) is indeed special for her."
Aww!! Are you all looking forward to watching both the Chakors in one frame? And that too when their forces unite in killing Kamal?
Do not miss the upcoming episodes of Udann.
Later Guroudev Bhalla texted us saying, "Little Chakor never went from our show, she has always been there in spirit. Spandan is part of our production family & we love her way too much to let her go away from us. At appropriate times viewers will see her physically in Udann."

Python is a prominent programming dialect. It was made in 1991 by Guido van Rossum.
It is utilized for:
- web improvement (server-side),
- software improvement,
- mathematics,
- system scripting.
What would python be able to do?
- Python can be utilized on a server to make web applications.
- Python can be utilized close by programming to make work processes.
- Python can interface with database frameworks. It can likewise peruse and change documents.
- Python can be utilized to deal with huge information and perform complex arithmetic.
- Python can be utilized for fast prototyping, or for generation prepared programming improvement. Learn Python training in Chennai @ Greens Technologys.
Why Python?
- Python takes a shot at various stages (Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, and so on).
- Python has a straightforward punctuation like the English dialect.
- Python has a linguistic structure that enables engineers to compose programs with fewer lines than some other programming dialects.
- Python keeps running on a mediator framework, implying that code can be executed when it is composed. This implies prototyping can be brisk.
- Python can be treated procedurally, a question orientated way or a practical way.
Great to know
- The latest significant rendition of Python will be Python 3, which we will use in this instructional exercise. Be that as it may, Python 2, in spite of the fact that not being refreshed with something besides security refreshes, is still very well known.
- In this instructional exercise, Python will be composed in a word processor. It is conceivable to compose Python in an Integrated Development Environment, for example, Thonny, Pycharm, Netbeans or Eclipse which are especially valuable while overseeing bigger accumulations of Python records.
Python Syntax contrasted with other programming Languages
- Python was intended to for clarity and has a few likenesses to the English dialect with impact from arithmetic.
- Python utilizes new lines to finish an order, rather than other programming dialects which frequently utilize semicolons or enclosures.
- Python depends on space, utilizing whitespace, to characterize scope, for example, the extent of circles, capacities, and classes. Other programming dialects regularly utilize wavy sections for this reason.
Python has been a protest situated dialect since it existed. Along these lines, making and utilizing classes and protests are out and out simple. This section causes you to turn into a specialist in utilizing Python's question situated programming support.
On the off chance that you don't have any past involvement with question situated (OO) programming, you might need to counsel a starting seminar on it or if nothing else an instructional exercise or the like so you have a grip of the essential ideas.
Nonetheless, here is a little presentation of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) to bring you at speed –
Diagram of OOP Terminology
- Class − A client characterized model for a protest that characterizes an arrangement of traits that describe any question of the class. The traits are information individuals (class factors and occasion factors) and strategies, got to by means of speck documentation.
- Class variable − A variable that is shared by all cases of a class. Class factors are characterized inside a class however outside any of the class' strategies. Class factors are not utilized as every now and again as occasion factors seem to be.
- Data part − A class variable or occasion variable that holds information related with a class and its items.
- Function over-burdening − The task of in excess of one conductivity to a specific capacity. The task performed differs from the kinds of articles or contentions included.
- Instance variable − A variable that is characterized inside a strategy and has a place just with the current occasion of a class.
- Inheritance − The exchange of the qualities of a class to different classes that are gotten from it.
- Instance − An individual question of a specific class. A protest obj that has a place with a class Circle, for instance, is an occasion of the class Circle.
- Instantiation − The production of an occurrence of a class.
- Method − An uncommon sort of capacity that is characterized by a class definition.
- Object − A one of a kind example of an information structure that is characterized by its class. A protest involves the two information individuals (class factors and example factors) and techniques.
- Operator over-burdening − The task of in excess of one capacity to a specific administrator.
Making Classes
The class explanation makes another class definition. The name of the class quickly pursues the catchphrase class pursued by a colon as pursues −
- The class has a documentation string, which can be gotten to by means of ClassName.__doc__.
- The class_suite comprises all the segment explanations characterizing class individuals, information qualities and capacities.
- The variable empCount is a class variable whose esteem is shared among all occasions of this class. This can be gotten to as Employee.empCount from inside the class or outside the class.
- The first strategy __init__() is an exceptional technique, or, in other words, constructor or introduction technique that Python calls when you make another case of this class.
- You announce different class strategies like ordinary capacities with the special case that the main contention of every strategy is self. Python adds the self-contention to the rundown for you; you don't have to incorporate it when you call the strategies.
Making Instance Objects
To make occasions of a class, you call the class utilizing class name and go in whatever contentions its __init__ strategy acknowledges.
Getting to Attributes
You get to the protest's traits utilizing the speck administrator with the question. The class variable would be gotten to utilizing class name as pursues –
Accessing Attributes
Rather than utilizing the typical explanations to get to qualities, you can utilize the accompanying capacities −
- The getattr(obj, name[, default]) − to get to the quality of a question.
- The hasattr(obj, name) − to check if a property exists or not.
- The setattr(obj,name,value) − to set a trait. On the off chance that characteristic does not exist, at that point, it would be made.
- The delattr(obj, name) − to erase a trait.
Worked In Class Attributes
Each Python class continues following implicit qualities and they can be gotten to utilizing spot administrator like some other characteristic −
- __dict__ − Dictionary containing the class' namespace.
- __doc__ − Class documentation string or none, if indistinct.
- __name__ − Class name.
- __module__ − Module name in which the class is characterized. This quality is "__main__" in intuitive mode.
- __bases__ − A perhaps unfilled tuple containing the base classes, in the request of their event in the base class list.
Destroying Objects (Garbage Collection)
Python erases unneeded articles (worked in sorts or class occasions) consequently to free the memory space. The procedure by which Python occasionally recovers squares of memory that never again are being used is named Garbage Collection.
Python's city worker keeps running amid program execution and is activated when a protest's reference tally achieves zero. A question's reference considers changes the quantity of assumed names that point to it changes.
A question's reference tally increments when it is allowed another name or set in a holder (list, tuple, or lexicon). The protest's reference check diminishes when it's erased with del, its reference is reassigned, or its reference leaves scope. At the point when a question's reference check achieves zero, Python gathers it naturally.
You ordinarily won't see when the junk jockey devastates a stranded case and recovers its space. In any case, a class can actualize the unique strategy __del__(), called a destructor, that is conjured when the example is going to be devastated. This technique may be utilized to tidy up any nonmemory assets utilized by an occurrence.
Class Inheritance
Rather than beginning starting with no outside help, you can make a class by getting it from a prior class by posting the parent class in brackets after the new class name.
The youngster class acquires the characteristics of its parent class, and you can utilize those qualities as though they were characterized in the tyke class. A tyke class can likewise supersede information individuals and techniques from the parent.
Sentence structure
Determined classes are announced much like their parent class; be that as it may, a rundown of base classes to acquire from is given after the class name −
You can utilize issubclass() or isinstance() capacities to check connections of two classes and cases.
- The issubclass(sub, sup) boolean capacity returns genuine if the given subclass sub is to be sure a subclass of the superclass sup.
- The isinstance(obj, Class) boolean capacity returns genuine if obj is an occasion of Class or is an example of a subclass of Class
Superseding Methods
You can simply supersede your parent class strategies. One purpose behind abrogating guardian's strategies is on the grounds that you may need exceptional or diverse usefulness in your subclass.
Base Overloading Methods
Following table records some nonexclusive usefulness that you can supersede in your very own classes −
Sr.No. Method, Description and Sample Call
1 __init__ ( self [,args...] )
Constructor (with any discretionary contentions)
Test Call : obj = className(args)
2 __del__( self )
Destructor erases a question
Test Call : del obj
3 __repr__( self )
Evaluable string portrayal
Test Call : repr(obj)
4 __str__( self )
Printable string portrayal
Test Call : str(obj)
5 __cmp__ ( self, x )
Question correlation
Test Call : cmp(obj, x)
Over-loading Operators
Assume you have made a Vector class to speak to two-dimensional vectors, what happens when you utilize the in addition to an administrator to include them? No doubt Python will shout at you.
You could, in any case, characterize the __add__ technique in your class to perform vector expansion and after that, the in addition to administrator would act according to desire −
Information Hiding
A question's properties could conceivably be unmistakable outside the class definition. You have to name traits with a twofold underscore prefix, and those properties at that point are not straightforwardly unmistakable to outcasts.

We feel it's really important to give back to the community and to those who are less fortunate than we are which is why we have decided that at the end of each financial quarter, we will be giving 3% of all profits or $100 (whichever is more) made by EMPIRE & ACES to a worthy Charity. The charities will change every quarter but keep an eye on this page to have an idea of where your money this quarter is going.
This quarter, we've decided to give to The Anti-Cruelty Society of Chicago,
The Anti-Cruelty Society was founded in 1899. It's a Chicago institution helping the animals in Chicago have a voice and to aid in finding loving homes for dogs, cats, and other furry and feathered friends. Considering that we're huge animal lovers here at ACES, it seemed like a perfect fit for our upcoming September donation.
So keep in mind that for every t-shirt purchase or training session with ACES, you'll not only be helping a small business, but you'll also be helping someone who could use a little help themselves.
We like to play it forward.

The 'Scott Brown Effect' works on the GOP also……..
The Dog reminded people that newly minted Senator Brown comes from a solid ly Democratic state…so it was no surprise when the Dog heard that he was in favor of the second Stimulus Bill coming…the so-called 'Jobs' Bill……turns out Sen. Brown put his fellow Republicans ina tough spot…whilke they have been steeling themselves against anything with the Presidents fingerprints on it……Brown informed anyone who would listen that he a practical man…and with him ever mindful og the fact that will have to run for his spot in two years…..Hell yea…he was a 'Jobs ' Bill……..
The GOP woke up to the fact ever GOP Governor took the money from the first Stimulus Bill…and they were actually asking for more money from this one…….
End of story……..The Bill will pass……so much for ideology…..
Here's the New York Times piece……
Five Republican senators broke ranks with their party on Monday to advance a $15 billion job-creation measure put forward by Democrats, a rare bipartisan breakthrough after months in which Republicans had held together to a remarkable degree in an effort to thwart President Obama's agenda.
The 62-to-30 vote — two more yeses than the minimum required to get past a procedural roadblock — cleared the way for the Senate to vote Wednesday to approve the measure, which Democrats said would create tens of thousands of new jobs at a time when the unemployment rate is hovering near double digits and is expected to remain high for years to come. But it is not clear whether the House, which has backed a broader approach, will go along without making substantial changes.
With the midterm elections already revving up and the parties facing deep ideological divides over a host of issues, there was no evidence that Monday's vote was the beginning of a trend. But after being repeatedly stymied by Republicans on a series of initiatives and nominations over the past months, Democrats were elated with the outcome and expressed gratitude to Republicans who sided with them in cutting off a potential filibuster.
"Today, jobs triumphed over politics," said Senator Barbara Boxer, Democrat of California.
Senator Scott Brown, the newly elected Republican from Massachusetts, was the first member of his party to cast his vote for the measure. He was followed by Senators Susan Collins and Olympia J. Snowe of Maine, George V. Voinovich of Ohio and Christopher S. Bond of Missouri, who voted after it became evident that Democrats would prevail. Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska was the sole Democrat to vote no.
Mr. Brown, breaking with his party's leadership on one of his first high-profile votes, said he backed the measure grudgingly, since even its sponsors acknowledged its limited scope.
"It is the first step in creating jobs, not only for the people of Massachusetts but for the people of the country," said Mr. Brown, who said he intended to pursue other proposals, like an across-the-board cut in payroll taxes.
The bill was drafted by Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the Majority Leader, and is built around an approach that has won bipartisan support in the past: a $13 billion plan to give companies who hire unemployed Americans an exemption from paying payroll taxes on those workers through the end of this year. It also provides a $1,000 tax credit to employers who keep new workers on the payroll for at least for 52 weeks.
Harry Reid is on a roll folks…..first this…then he's gonna get Healthcare done…..The Dog has said that the Majority Leader, who is 73 years old… still has a lot of fight still left in him……..

Located *inside* the combined book store and CD / DVD / comic rental shop TSUTAYA in Tamano-shi, this cafe appears to be a Starbucks-wannabe. They have a similar style of decor, and similar menu offerings. Still, since we're unlikely to get a Starbucks in Tamano-shi anytime soon, Cafe di Espresso isn't a bad runner-up.
The store can be accessed from inside the TSUTAYA shop or from the street. Here's what the entrance from the TSUTAYA side looks like:
Since the cafe is connected to the shop, I understand that TSUTAYA has a real need to protect their merchandise from shoplifting, but the magnetic gates are really ugly and detract from the atmosphere.
You can see what the store looks like from the street side on the website (see link below). It's also not very attractive, but again I understand that they're limited by the TSUTAYA building.
Once you're past the ugly magnetic gates, the interior is actually nice. Here are some shots of the counter and the main room:
See what I mean about it being Starbuck-y? Still, Cafe di Espresso has more open floor space than Starbucks does (at least the ones in Japan–they are so overstuffed with cushy chairs that it's difficult to nagivate the room), and I like that they are attached to a book store. The smoking section is completely walled off from the non-smoking section, which is also a big plus. Cafe di Espresso also provides a nice selection of current magazines (in Japanese, of course), in case you didn't buy anything at TSUTAYA.
Cafe di Espresso is a subsidary of the Kohikan chain of cafes.
Cafe di Espresso must do pretty decent business; everytime I pass by, there are always a good number of people inside, and the snack and dessert case is always nearly empty. Unlike Starbucks, Cafe di Espresso usually only has 1 or 2 people on staff, so the person taking your order is the person who also makes your drink. It's not a chain-production kind of place, even though it does obviously fall into the "fast food" category.
They are currently running a Hawaiian Cafe Fair, which runs through September 3rd, 2013.
I ordered the Coconut Coffee Frosty, and my sons each got a Strawberry Frosty (not on the Hawaiian menu, obviously, but also a seasonal drink).
The Coconut Coffee Frosty was a good treat, but there wasn't much coconut about it other than the toasted bits on top of all that darn whipped cream. It would have been nice if it had included (and maybe it did but I couldn't tell) some coconut-flavored syrup. The boys' Strawberry Frosties were REALLY good–I highly recommend these if you can get one before they stop serving them.
+ What I like about this cafe: Service was friendly but not over-the-top, large drink selection, ok to bring your kids to this cafe, open feel of the interior, Wi-Fi available.
– What I didn't like about this cafe: Chain store, but hey, I knew that before I went in.

A woman perpetrated various scams against 18 victims and conned them out of a total of about $551,000 over 31/2 years.
Only $9,642 of the losses has been recovered, a district court heard.
Anita Siah Siang Joo, now 31, committed 123 cheating offences between February 2012 and November 2015, which began after her release from prison for criminal breach of trust. She had been given 12 months' jail in 2010 for misappropriating $113,078.
Yesterday, Siah, labelled a serial cheat by the prosecution, was sentenced to 59 months' jail after she admitted to 20 charges.
She perpetrated sales scams involving the sale of electronic gadgets and travel packages, and investment scams involving fictitious brokerage, iPhone and contact-lens businesses.
Among her victims were a 35-year-old Singaporean woman, who was conned out of $264,650, and a 28-year-old man, who lost $196,200.
In April 2011, Siah approached the woman about investing in a business buying and reselling iPhones. She claimed she had a supplier from whom they could buy the phones cheaply and resell the gadgets overseas for a higher price.
In fact, she did not have a supplier nor did she intend to use the victim's money to buy iPhones. Instead, she intended to induce the victim to deliver money to her for her own use.
Believing that she was investing in the business, the victim delivered a total of $169,250 to Siah's bank accounts on five occasions. When the victim did not receive any profit and asked for her money back, Siah gave her various excuses.
Siah also scammed the woman the following year by making her pay $2,800 for an exclusive travel package to the Maldives. The victim was made to transfer further sums when Siah lied that there were "various problems'' with the booking.
For each charge, Siah could have been jailed up to 10 years and fined.

Cooktop Cove: How to make gnocchi with Italian sausage
By Emily Monaco
Gnocchi can be kind of fastidious to make, which is why it's lucky so many wonderful brands exist that allow you to have these pillows of potato pasta at home in mere minutes. In the recipe below, toss your favorite brand of gnocchi with a rich sausage ragu. A hearty dinner will be on the table in no time.
For this dish, you can choose between sweet and spicy Italian sausage. Both tend to be seasoned with fennel seed, which adds another dimension to the sauce. A spoonful of ricotta cheese adds just the right amount of creaminess and, of course, serve with extra Parmesan cheese at the table.
Gnocchi with Italian Sausage
10 minutes
20 minutes
30 minutes
1 pound prepackaged gnocchi
4 links Italian sausage
1 onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 cup ricotta cheese
1/8 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
10 leaves basil, chiffonnade
Cook the gnocchi according to package directions.
Meanwhile, remove the sausage from its casing. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, and add the sausage. Break it up with a wooden spoon.
Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is nicely browned on all sides. Set the sausage aside and pour out all but one tablespoon of fat from the skillet.
Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes, or until tender.
Add the garlic cloves and the tomato paste and fry together for two minutes.
Add about 1/8 to 1/4 cup of the pasta cooking water from the gnocchi to thin out the sauce slightly. Stir to combine.
Put the cooked gnocchi in the sauce. Toss to coat.
Add the sausage and stir to combine.
Add the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese and basil and serve.

Nader Discusses Healthcare At U. Toledo
This story was written by Joe Griffith, The Independent Collegian
Independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader spoke at University of Toledo's Doermann Theater Thursday about his plan for healthcare reform and other political issues.
"One of the purposes of our campaign is to blast open the closed door by the two party Republican and Democratic [parties] who don't want competition, who don't want to be challenged and who don't want to share the debate stage," Nader said.
Nader ran for president in the 1996 and 2000 elections under the Green Party and again in 2004 as an independent candidate. Now Nader is on his fourth run for the White House. He said the two party system in America makes it impossible for the voice of a third party candidate to be heard.
"They have rigged the system in order to dominate it, and by dominating it, they can never regenerate themselves, because they are not exposed to the competition of displacement," Nader said. "If nature didn't allow seeds to sprout, could nature regenerate itself?"
Although the Republican and Democratic parties may make it increasingly difficult for third party candidates to be successful, UT students from the two major parties understand the importance of presidential candidates like Nader.
"I'm always in favor of having third parties represented," said Jon Sustar, vice president of UT's College Democrats. "In certain cases, the two party system isn't always ideal."
It's important for voters to hear all sides of the political spectrum, said Matt Rubin, chairman of the College Republicans.
"If anybody wants to run for president, they should be allowed to," Rubin said. "[Nader is] pursuing a dream just like my party is, and although he might not have a very good chance of winning at least he's being persistent fighting for what he believes in."
Nader's speech focused on a number of issues, from the war in Iraq to the environment, but he focused mainly on his belief in the necessity for America to adopt a single-payer healthcare system.
According to the National Academy of Sciences, 20,000 Americans who can't afford healthcare die every year, Nader said. That means there are millions more Americans who can't find treatment for their illnesses or injuries, he continued.
Nader further suggested healthcare should be an inherent right for American citizens.
"Every other western country has it, because they think it's a basic social benefit of a civilized society," he said. "We have a pay or die system. The day you're born in Canada, you are insured. You're insured from cradle to nursing home."
As long as insurance companies are involved in the healthcare business, they will continue to deny claims or prohibit referrals because it is financially in their best interest, Nader said.
"Most companies want to sell you more of what they're offering, but insurance companies have it reverse," he said. "They have a perverse incentive that they don't want to satisfy your claims single payer would get rid of that."
In addition to the social benefit, a single payer healthcare system would be more financially efficient, Nader said.
A combination of a low-efficiency expense ratio and the elimination of billing fraud would save Americans half a trillion dollars, which could be used to provide healthcare to people who aren't covered, he said.
The final healthcare argument Nader addressed dealt with the conflicting analysis of data that is used to predict negative outcomes in the healthcare system, he said.
"[There are] 1,500 insurance companies who view their data as proprietary," he said.
By creating data that is more accurat and consistent, the healthcare system can better understand and predict future problems, he said.
"So [single payer healthcare is] much more geared to prevention and correcting bad trends in medical care," Nader said. "That's why, on all indicators, the World Health Organization has us at 39th in the world in our healthcare system."
Nader is both an attorney and an author, but he is perhaps most known for his role as a consumer advocate with experience spanning over four decades.
Nader was involved in the movements that helped create the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Nader was also involved in the enactment of the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Motor Vehicle Safety Act and the Freedom of Information Act.
"It started when I lost a lot of friends in high school and college in auto accidents," he said.
After looking into the issue, Nader found the concerns of safety engineers were not being considered by auto companies, he said.
"They were building cars that were very vulnerable to occupants in crashes," he said. "That's what led me to write the book and get the two laws passed in 1966."
After taking on the auto companies, Nader has devoted the rest of his life as an advocate for consumer interests.
"[Nader has] been a consumer crusader for decades," said James Price, part time instructor in the department of rehabilitation services at UT. "Your cars are safer, your food is safer, your water is safer because of the activities that Ralph Nader has been involved with for several decades."
