Dozens of American citizens have joined forces with veterans to expose what they believe is a child-trafficking camp hidden inside the Arizona woods.
Veterans on Patrol, a homeless Veterans advocacy group, stumbled upon the encampment in Tucson, last Tuesday, but it wasn't a typical homeless camp.
As Gateway Pundit reported on Sunday , the team of veterans found trees with restraints on them at the site, children's clothing, a baby crib, a stroller, an outdoor bathroom, toys, pornographic material, hair dye, boxes of condom and a 5 feet tall underground cave that had a dresser and crates.
The cave the was not big enough for an adult, but a child could easily fit inside.
CEMEX received a $7 million contract from the Clinton Global Initiative to build houses in Haiti during Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State in 2012, nearly two and half years after the quake.The land on which the bunker was found is owned by Cemex Construction Materials South, LLLC., a multinational building materials company in Mexico and partner of the Clinton Global Initiative.
According to federal lobbying disclosures, Cemex donated $25,000 to the Clinton Foundation.
YouTube is said to have removed much of the footage from their platform in what seems to be an effort to censor this massive finding.
Veterans on Patrol are occupying the encampment area until the site is fully secured and are using Youtube and FacebookLive broadcasts to document their evidence they believe proves the location is a child sex trafficking camp with, using the hashtags #OperationBackyardBrawl and #WhereAreTheChildren.

This systematic review aims to assess the consistency of evidence supporting an involvement of supraspinal systems in mediating the effects of passive cervical joint mobilisation. Fifteen studies met the inclusion criteria. The overall quality was high. Consistency for concurrent hypoalgesia, sympathetic nervous system excitation and changes in motor function was found. Pooling of data suggested that joint mobilisation improved outcomes by approximately 20% relative to controls. This specific pattern suggests that descending pathways might play a key role in manual therapy induced hypoalgesia.
This review supports the existence of an alternative neurophysiological model, in which passive joint mobilisation stimulates areas within the central nervous system.

|Golden snow showers, facing east, late afternoon at Loon Mountain.
|Summit of Loon Mountain (11/19/13)
I showed up just after the lifts opened, to an extremely empty parking lot. There had to have been a total of 12 cars there including me (and I think at peak hours there were maybe 50 people on the mountain total). It was odd being at such a popular resort, and having it feel completely empty. I wearily geared up in the very empty lodge, with a handful of other die hard skiers and snowboarders, eager to work on my form and hit the park early season, so I would look better on opening day when I would be training with fellow instructors at my home mountain. It is amazing what 6+ months off and occasionally skiing on a dry slope in your backyard will do to your fine motor skills (hint: it's nothing good). The conditions were textbook early season. It started out cold and super hard, with most of the trails having some pretty big bare spots. The snowguns were roaring all day long, which, although made it a little more miserable in spots, managed to cover up the bare spots by the end of the day on most of the trails. Not only that but one of the trails (which no one seemed to realize was open) was downright nice by the end of the day. I was really enjoying getting a nice (man-made) powdery surface to cut some terms.
|You don't say? I had no idea.
I have never particularly liked Loon, outside of its absolutely stellar parks, but this visit did not help my opinion. Being told beforehand that something is open, only to arrive to find it closed for the entire day, is a major no-no in public relations. My main issue with it (other than it generally being packed to the brim with people every day) is that I find most of the trails un-interesting. A groomer is a groomer, and Loon is filled with them. They really don't have too much to challenge an expert skier outside of their parks, even with the new expansion to the mountain west of them. Again, their parks are absolutely stellar, but I find the rest of the mountain lacking. This combined with the gondola they have pretty much guarantees that the only time you will find me there, is if I am in their parks the entire day. (Side note - I really hate gondolas in general, not just the one here.) I do hope, if I have time to return mid-late season to check out their parks when they are fully up and running
I hope you enjoyed reading this early season report out of Loon Mountain. The pace of the blog will really start picking up within the next month. I have a couple of posts planned out for the gap between now and the true start of the season (that are not all ski related, so we will get to cover some non-skiing stuff, for anyone interested). As soon as Gunstock opens, my Instructor reciprocity privileges will kick in, and I will be able to start knocking mountains off the list, and getting 'real' reviews in, not just early season stuff where the mountain has less than 5 trails open. Apologies for the lack of any video to go with this post, there simply was not anything worth filming going on.
I am still open for additional ideas for what to cover at any given mountain, so please, let me know what you, the reader, want to see! No idea is a bad idea! Also, if you have not followed me on Instagram and Twitter, you are missing out on being up to date with wherever I am! I try and post lots of picture from to Instagram from the mountain when I have service (Loon + Verizon Wireless = No service and an unhappy Charlie).
Now go out there and get some early season runs in Internet!

Small World Electron Flight Simulator Version 3.1E Software for Modelling of Electron Beam and X-ray
Electron Flight Simulator 3.1-E permits the user to do everything that can be done with Version 3.1 and also model the beam scatter in environmental and low vacuum SEMs. The obvious question for the microscopist is to determine, in advance of doing an experiment, how much will the beam scatter for a particular gas, pressure and working distance.
This newly released version is ideal for calculating the beam spread vs. chamber pressure for any gas being used. It also gives the vital information about the effective spot size of the beam and how it can affect the EDS results. One can put in values for the gas type, chamber pressure, and working distance, and observe immediately how these changes in the variables effect the amount of beam scatter. This kind of information is far more important for someone using an environmental or low vacuum SEM than one using a more conventional SEM.
Any of the EFS products will run on any IBM compatible PC running on Windows 3.1, Windows 95, or NT 4.0 or newer. If your microanalysis system runs on a PC, you can run any EFS product on it, independently of your EDS or WDS software.
Electron Flight Simulator 3.1-E Examples:
Image 1 shows air at 1 torr overlaid with a histogram showing beam intensity vs. lateral position
Image 2 shows water vapor at 0.1 torr
Version 3.1-E comes with all of the standard features of EFS Version 3.1 but in addition, it also has these new abilities to model beam scatter in the environmental SEM. Why not get behind the wheel and take a look now at a demo version of EFS Version 3.1-E!

Why Think Links?
I thought I'd begin this project with a simple post about the provenance of this blog's name. When I was a kid, I used to play a game called Think Links!. The goal of the game, as far as I can remember, was to figure out the connections between the various cards presented. I always thought it was a cool name and it has lots of overloaded meaning (which I find fun). It also sums up the point of this blog, to think about and highlight the links between the products, services, and people, that tell us about the provenance (and hence the quality) of the stuff we use.

In all his young life, Peter has never met a man like Loretta. The man says that he's from the ancient lost city of Atlantis – a land of wonders and technology that surpasses even our own, lost to humanity and swallowed by the ocean at the end of the Robot Wars. Loretta claims not to be a man. Not exactly. He and his falcon companion, Finian Falco, are better described in today's terms as androids, and they were awakened from their eon of slumber to save Peter's town. Peter's family says he's only a kind man with wild ideas…and a falcon. Loretta doesn't need them to believe. Danger is rocketing toward Earth. The professor is about to find him. Society has become barbaric while he slept. Peter needs a friend. And…Loretta is running out of time.
REVIEW BY: Arianna, age 13 years, 6 months
I really liked the plot of this book! However, I found some parts confusing or they didn't flow with the rest of the story.
My favorite character is Loretta purely because of how comedic yet heartfelt he was portrayed.
I loved how adventurous all the characters are. You never know what is going to happen next! I think this book really shows the meaning of family and friendship.
My favorite part is the very beginning scene when Charles is talking to his wife about their daughter wearing a bikini. I love the line when he says "I'm just wondering why we couldn't afford an entire bathing suit!" He then goes on to say he has been working overtime and his wife just got a raise. He then points out that it seems that they could afford an entire bathing suit. I just burst out laughing because that sounds like something my dad would say!
I recommend this book to those that enjoy humor, adventure and stories of friendship.
I give this book 3 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 12 and up.

Random freezing when playing video games.
I recently got a 32" tv which I am using as a monitor, hooked up using hdmi. During gameplay my computer freezes for a second or less and then everything is fine. This only happens when I play games. I was wondering if its because of the tv my gpu has to push out more power b/c of the hdmi setup?
My previous monitor was an hyundai 17" crt using a vga cable.
I don't think it has anything to do with any particular game b/c they all ran fine before at 1280 x 960, and I now run games at either 1280 x 720 or 1360 x 768.
Do I need a more powerful PSU, the one I have is a Xtech 500W with a over a years use. (I am in the process of getting a Thermaltake TR2 600W)
My specs are:
Win 7 Ultimate x64 SP1
AMD Phenom II X4 965
Kingston 8GB DDR 3
2 hard drives at 7200 rpm
nvidia gtx 550 Ti
I have the latest drivers for my gpu and mobo.
|My System Specs
|23 May 2012
Windows 7 Professional 64bit
Could overheating be an issue? considering your computer has to work harder due to the bigger screen size/resolution. Or it might be due to switching from a vga to a hdmi, it somehow affects the graphic card. :\

So many of you know I've been waiting nearly three years now to get some type of medical insurance coverage, since the acute episode that almost took my life and hospitalized me, twice, for more than a week each time. I was eventually diagnosed with diastolic (left-sided) congestive heart failure, chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, both of which can be terminal conditions–though if treated, CHF doesn't have to be terminal, untreated CTEPH always is. Eventually, CTEPH will lead to right-sided heart failure, and since my left-side is already having trouble, well, my heart is not doing so well. What's so sad about all of this is, I had absolutely no symptoms or risk factors for heart problems. My cholesterol was good, triglycerides were good, nothing above normal for plaque and other things. My blood pressure has always been ridiculously low and my heartrate was always perfect. I was moderately active and height and weight proportionate, and while I could have eaten better, I didn't eat bad compared to what most do. I should NOT have had heart problems.
I don't have diabetes. I don't have high blood pressure. I don't have any of the things that usually go along with someone having congestive heart failure and at only 42 years old, I'm too young for it as well. It's not in my family either.
The reason I point all this out to you is this: There was nothing that could have prepared me for or made me suspect that I would EVER get congestive heart failure. Nothing. (more…)
I went to see an ENT for the first time in my life. Back in 2009, I had a CT scan of my head to check for pituitary problems, since I seemed to have hypopituitarism, and incidentally, they found that I had evidence if chronic severe sinusitis. We sort of laughed at the time because of all the things I was dealing with, sinusitis was so minor. We dealt with a bunch of other symptoms
, acute problems, and now, I'm mostly stable. There comes that point, even with a terminal illness, where you've stopped putting out fires and you're in a holding pattern. That's the time you can start dealing with the minor nuisances, that surprisingly, taking care of them increases your quality of life.
That's one thing I said to my doctor the other day when I went into my endocrinology appointment: Now it's time to think about making me FEEL better. Everyone has been doing whatever was necessary to keep me alive, well, I'm alive, and now I want to LIVE. It's time to make me FEEL better.
So now that I have insurance, it's amazing the difference it makes. First, we go to check in and I don't have to pay anything. I also don't have to sign three forms that basically ask or me firstborn child (they can have her–she sucks at washes dishes!) and for me to sign my life away in a promise to pay them for whatever treatment goes over and above the amount I have pre-paid. I usually pre-pay $90. This time, they asked for nothing. I went to three more appointments and they asked for nothing then too. I was expecting a co-pay of some sort. Nope. Okay, I'm good with this–nothing upfront–but I'm terrified of the bill I'm going to get! (more…)
As of midnight, November 1, I am finally insured! Yay! It's been a long road waiting for this to happen. My doctors have wanted me to have another sleep study, which costs $1850. My pulmonologist wants me to have another V/Q exam, which is a nuclear exam, and was quoted at $3200. I also need a right-heart catheritazation, and we have no idea what that will cost. I need another echocardiogram, and I need a full spine MRI. I need a chest CT angiogram. I need a sonogram of my liver. I've been putting all these things off for a year to two years now, because I can't afford them. My doctors have been wonderful with me, making sure I only have to take the tests and studies that were absolutely critical to my care, and letting me put some of these off until I was covered. They've felt their hands were tied, and it's hard to treat a patient when you can't send them in for the tests they need.
My doc wants to monitor my congestive heart failure, by doing a BNP test, but that test costs $220 bucks a pop. He wants to do one about once weekly. Then I need my PT/INR checked weekly, which is $90 bucks for the test and the visit. That's over $300 bucks every month, just for two little tests. That's not including the cost of the doctor or any other tests. (more…)

Islam is an exponent of tolerance and freedom of opinion. Islam is a religion that believes in reason and intellect and invites people to act in accordance to them. The Quran has an appeal for the intuition, conscience, intellect, and understanding to every individual. The Quran has a logical expression in every matter like Oneness of God, Prophet hood and the hereafter. It draws the attention of its addressee towards the facts both within the human being and spread through the whole of the universe. It addresses the human-kind because they are the masters of their own free will. They admit logic and act accordingly. In the Quran the repeated appearance of the words like intellect, thought, farsightedness and wisdom for more than two hundred times prove that it is a book based purely on intellect, farsightedness and logic.
"In the creation of the heavens and the earth; And in the alternation of night and day, there are signs for people of sense". (Al-Imran-3:190)
"This is a clear message to mankind. Let them heed thereby, and know that Allah is one God. Let the wise bear this in mind". (Ibrahim-14:52)
"We gave Moses the guidance and the book in inheritance to the children of Israel: guidance and an admonition to men of understanding". (Al-Mu'min-40:54)
"Thus Allah makes known to you His revelations that you may understand". (Al-Baqarah-2:242)
"(O Prophet,) Give good news to my servants, who listen to My word and follow the best version of it. These are they whom Allah he guided. These are they who are endued with understanding". (Al-Zumar-39:18)
The above quoted verses are given here because the sense conveyed through them is repeated for over two hundred times.
A book based on logic has a lot of room to accommodate the difference of opinion. This is why the Quran advised the Holy Prophet and his followers to have an objective discourse with their opponents and avoid conflict however stubborn they be.
"Repel evil with good. We are fully aware of all (the slanders) they utter". (Al-Mu'minoon-23:96)
"Good and evil deeds are not alike, requite evil with good, and he, between whom and you is enmity, will become your dearest friend. (Ha-Mim al-Sijdah-41:34)
"Tell my servants to be courteous in their speech". (Al-Isra-17:53)
"Believers, fear Allah and speak the truth". (Al-Ahzab-33:70)
"The true servants of the Merciful are those who walk humbly on the earth, and when the ignorant address them they say: 'peace'!" (Al-Furqan-25:63)
"Call people to the path of your Lord with wisdom and mild exhortation. Reason with them in the most courteous manner". (Al-Nahl-6:125)
There are many such verses in the Quran that convey the similar sense. Owing to this stand, the Holy Quran made it clear to the Prophet of God that his main task was to communicate truth to the people. He had no more responsibility. And the admittance on the part of the people is not a certification of success.
"(O Prophet) therefore give warning. Your duty is only to warn them: You are not their keeper". (Al-Ghashiyah-88:21, 22)
"You shall not use force with them." (Qaf-50:45)
There are eighteen verses in the Quran that convey the same sense. The Quran, besides this, makes it clear that every man is free to decide whether he becomes a Muslim or adopts the counter path. It is so because this world is the place where man is put to trial by granting free will to him. The Doomsday is yet to come.
"This is the truth from your Lord. Let him who will, believe in it and him who will, deny it". (Al-Kahf-18:29)
"There is no compulsion in religion. True guidance in now distinct from the error." (Al-Baqarah-2:250)
"We have shown the Human being the right path, whether he is grateful or ungrateful". (Al-Dahr-76:3)
The verses giving the sense as above have appeared at more than fifteen places in the Quran. These verses make it clear that man is free to choose the religion of his liking; he cannot be forced in this matter.
Punishment for apostasy?
Here the proclamation of the Holy Quran regarding the grant of freedom of opinion to the individual brings about confusion in general minds; how did this concept go round that a person once embracing Islam will be inflicted death penalty in case he reverts to his previous religion. And if it be true, is there a duality in the Holy Quran in specific and Islam in general. It gives rise to a contradictory situation when a person finds that Islam invites the people belonging to other religions to embrace it; whereas it declares death punishment for those who want to revert to any other religion. Is it true? Let's find an answer to this question.
In fact this is not true. The above-mentioned confusion is due to the misunderstanding of a specific established practice of God. This practice is, in fact a law that is pertained with Rasools only and has nothing to do with even Prophets who are "Nabi". This law has already been dealt with briefly. It says that a Rasool is in fact equity of justice, a scale to weigh right and wrong, and a court of God within this world. He communicates the message of God to people through his words and actions in such a vivid manner that only the stubborn ones and those who remain adamant in their vested interests refuse to yield.
When a specific time span is passed after the message has been communicated in the most accomplished manner, it is decided by God that the court to be established on Doomsday should be set in this world as well. Thus those who still show inflexibility in their sinful life are penalized directly or indirectly, by God. Many such measures in past have been related through the Quran and the Bible that approve the above-mentioned fact, for example the disaster faced by the nation of Noah. In the likewise manner when a faction of Israelites fell victims to paganism, they were inflicted death punishment by Moses (Musa). It was so because they had no justification for their misdeeds. This incident has been described in Chapter 32 of the book of "Exodus" of the Bible.
Muhammad (SWS) was also a Rasool of God. After the proclamation of Prophet-Hood he preached the people in a peaceful manner. Not even a single person was converted to Islam forcibly. After the lapse of twenty-two years a great number of the pagans of Arabia embraced Islam through the exercise of their free will. At this juncture the peculiar law of God was enacted. God declared through Surah Al-Tawba that His message had been absolutely communicated to all pagans of Arabia. They were granted a time limit of four months to embrace Islam. They were given an opportunity as well to clarify their ambiguities about Islam if any in the meantime. During that time their safety was the responsibility of the Muslims. Yet it was up to them whether they embrace Islam or not. If they chose not to become Muslims even after four months, they were asked either to get ready for war with the Muslims or to quit the land of Arabia. (Al-Tawbah-9:5)
While explaining an aspect of this law, the Holy Prophet said that the same punishment would also be inflicted upon those who would revert to their previous religion once having accepted Islam as their Deen. Thus this punishment was meant for the direct addressees of the Prophet of Islam. Since this law was applicable to the direct addressees of the Rasool, it had lost its chances of enforcement after that period had perished.
It must be borne in mind that the above-mentioned law was applied on the pagans only. The Christians and the Jews of Arabia were exempted from it. They were just bound to remain under the control of Muslim rule. They were not allowed to form the government of their own inside Arabian Peninsula. (Al-Tawbah-9:29)
It is historically proved that after the above-mentioned declaration, all the pagans turned Muslims. None of them left the Arabian soil nor there was any war against them. Since with the completion of this stage the task of the Prophet was over, he died just a few months after that.
The above discussion makes it clear that the law of death penalty for those who leave Islam after having once accepted it could only be exercised by the "Rasools" of God in a specific period and up to a time limit. After and before that everyone is free to choose his religion, whatsoever he likes. There would be no accountability in this world; it would be decided on the Doomsday.
Morality of preaching
The whole mankind has a consensus that a civilized, sophisticated and graceful style is desirable during conversation; no abuses, no allegations. The Quran advises the Muslims to adopt a tender, wise and nice way of preaching:
"Call people to the path of your Lord with wisdom and mild exhortation. Reason with them in the most courteous manner". (Al-Nahl-16:125)
"Good and evil deeds are not alike. Requite evil with good, and he, between whom and you is enmity, will become your dearest friend." (Fussilat-41:34)
It is advisable that a preacher should wind up his preaching for the time being and avoid any conflict when the opponents are bent upon making a mockery of his preaching, raising allegations and launching undue criticism.
"When you see those that scoff at Our revelations, withdraw from them till they engage in some other talk". (Al-An'am-6:68)
When the Holy Prophet (SWS) started conveying the message of God to Makkans, his opponents raised a lot of allegations against him. These allegations have been related in the Quran in detail. It is obvious that the companions of the Holy Prophet (SWS) got enraged over such allegations but any step taken by them in rage would have been tantamount to nullifying the objectives of the preaching. So the Quran relates it as a distinctive quality of good Muslims that they avoid such people, show tolerance and perseverance in the event of adversity, and pray peace and prosperity for even their deadly enemies.
"Allah loves the righteous people who spend alike in prosperity and in adversity, who curb their anger and those who forgive their fellow-men". (Al-Imran-3:134)
"The true servants of the Merciful are those who walk humbly on the earth, and when the ignorant address them they say: Peace!" (Al-Furqan-25:63)
An ignorant is the one who abuses, raises allegations and misbehaves while showing his ignorance. The servants of the Merciful stand aside by saying good-bye to them.
"They pay no heed to vain talk, but say: We have our actions and you have yours, peace be upon you. We do not seek (The company of) ignorant people". (Al-Qasas-28:55)
At one place in the Quran, while replying the charges of the pagans, which they levied against the Prophet, Muhammad (SWS) was advised as:
"Bear with them and wish them peace, they shall (before long) know". (Al-Zukhruf-43:89)
At another place the Prophet was advised as below:
"Bear patiently with what they say and leave their company with dignity". (Al-Muzzammil-73:10)
He was further told:
"Show forgiveness, enjoin justice, and avoid the ignorant". (Al-A'raf-7:199)
After the establishment of the Muslim rule in Madina, the Jews and hypocrites of Madina started hatching up conspiracies and raising allegations on the character of the Holy Prophet. The Prophet was advised by God to show patience and tolerance to these conspirators
"Pardon them (the Jews) and bear with them, Allah loves those who do good". (Al-Maidah-5:13)
The hypocrites also lived in Madina. These were the people who pretended to be the Muslims but inwardly remained busy in conspiracies against the Muslims and the Holy Prophet. At times they turned insolent. They labeled the promises of the Holy Prophet as fraud and imposture. Their leader, Ibn-i-Obayy called the Holy Prophet a worthless man and claimed himself to be worthy of respect.
The Quran has discussed it in detail. The Prophet was advised about them as under:
"Therefore let them be, and put your trust in Allah." (Al-Nisa- 4:81)
At another place it was advised:
"Do not obey the unbelievers and the hypocrites: disregard their insolence. Put your trust in Allah; Allah is your all-sufficient Guardian". (Al-Ahzab-33:48)
This attitude bore positive results and opponents of Islam could not succeed in their evil designs.
Freedom of opinion does not allow an individual to play havoc with the lives of others. Though the Muslims are advised to be tolerant yet a Muslim government has the natural right to penalize such criminals if they play with the sentiments of the Muslims, blame their dearest leaders, turn cruel to them, create a pathetic situation for the whole Muslim community, and conspire with the enemies of Islam to create chaos.

General aspects
Fig.1 -Scheme of HIV-1 infection
The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is responsible of the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). The HIV is divided in two family: HIV-1 located mainly in Europe, America,
Asia and central Africa and HIV-2 is instead in West Africa where it causes a sindrome clinically more moderate then HIV-1. The HIV is a retrovirus (RNA virus) member of lentivirus characterized by a very long incubation time. The HIV-1 genome is variable so it's usual to classify it into three groups: M (major) group, divided in 12 subtypes (A,B,C,D,F,G,H,J,K,AB,AE,AG); N group and O group. The virus has a sexual transmission (vaginal secretions, semen, blood), vertical blood transmission through blood contact and/or infected blood products, from mother to child during pregnancy, childbirth or breastfeeding.
After infection, the virus coming in the bloodstream, attacks the CD4 + T lymphocytes, immune system cells to replicate himself. Once inside, the viral RNA is modified into the DNA to integrate genome (provirus) into the host cell. HIV can remain inactive within the cells or begins a replicative process to form new viral particles; these are excreted from the cell, causing the cell demolition, and released into the bloodstream, ready to infect new cells CD4 + T. Acute infection lasts 1-2 weeks and it generally has not so specific clinical conditions , flu-like. At the end of the acute phase the symptoms disappear and it starts the slow immune response of the body, that it lasts 2-8 weeks, with the production of antibodies (HIV-positive).
In absence of treatment, the latency phase (or chronic) can last for many years and although the clinical condition of the HIV positive patient are stable, the lymphatic system suffers a progressive deterioration, because of the viral replication continues and the destroyed CD4+ T cells are not replaced. When their number falls below the critical threshold (200/ml) the body isn't able to defend themselves from "opportunistic infections", caused by normally poorly pathogenetic microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, viruses, protozoa), that in low levels of CD4+ T lymphocytes, can cause pulmonary, gastro-intestinal, ocular and cerebral diseases with serious clinical conditions (AIDS). Currently, the treatment is based on anti-retroviral drugs that not allow to delete the virus but limit the proliferation and reduces the CD4+ T cells destruction.
Molecular test
In Tecnobios Prenatal Eurogenlab is available a molecular tests (HIV-1 Viral Load) to evaluate of the viral load, expressed in copies/ml in plasma. The sensitive and accurate test allows to detect the presence of viral RNA, of all subtypes of HIV-1, until to 20 copies/ml and quantification in a wide range of linearity (40-10,000,000 copies/ml). The molecular test HIV-1 is suggested mainly for the control of male and female gametes donors, stem cells donors, but also for to the advance of "coverage" of the window period after exposure to the virus detected or for monitoring the effectiveness of antiviral drugs.
Response times
The test result is available after 3 hours from the draw blood.

Remembrance Sunday 2014: Nick Clegg message
The Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg pays tribute with this Remembrance Sunday video message.
Remembrance Sunday 2014 video message
Watch Nick Clegg's Remembrance Sunday 2014 message
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said:
As part of this year's centenary to mark the outbreak of World War One, hundreds of thousands of ceramic poppies now surround the Tower of London. It is an incredible sight, with each poppy planted to represent a British soldier who lost their life during this conflict.
These poppies, alongside those we wear every November, are there to remind us of the sacrifices our Armed Forces – both past and present – make to serve their country.
The job they do is dangerous and demanding, with months spent away from their family and friends. But the courage, loyalty and enduring sense of duty they show are always inspiring.
So please join me today in saying thank you to the generations of British service men and women, regulars and reservists, who have put themselves in harms way to keep us and others around the world safe.
My thoughts also go out to their loved ones who work so hard to keep things going at home while they are away. You have our eternal gratitude and respect.

At times today, it seemed like Jonas Hiller was standing on his head keeping it scoreless through 2 periods despite the U.S.A. out shooting Switzerland 32-8 through 2 periods. But Zach Parise who after Ryan Miller, maybe has been the best player for Team U.S.A. during the Olympic Tournament to send them to Semifinals who will play the lowest reaming seed during Friday's Semifinals at Canada Hockey Place.
You have got to give Switzerland and Jonas Hiller in particular a lot of props from getting to 3 OT games including forcing Canada to a SO.
Also giving the U.S.A. two stellar games where they proved they have been one of the fasting improving teams in the world. It's only a matter of time before Switzerland I think will finally break through and win an International Medal. After a strong performance in the WJC as they got to the Semifinals, and a strong showing in the Olympics for the 2nd straight time.
Despite not getting the massive upsets like they did in 2006, they have succeeded in letting the world know that 2006 was no joke. If Switzerland can start getting more players in the NHL, watch out for the Swiss to contend for an Olympic Medal in the near future. One player to watch out for in the near future could be Nino Niederreiter who had a strong showing for the Swiss for the Junior Team at the WJC and has had a great season with the Portland Winterhawks in the Western Hockey League.
The Swiss have two more shots at hockey glory this season at the U18 World Championships which will be in Belarus in April. Then in May is the Ice Hockey World Championships which will be in the German Cities of Mannheim, Colonge, and Gelsenkirchen where a world Record Attempt will be look to be set during Germany's Opening game of the IHWC. Expect the Swiss to be strong at both events in the spring.
For the Americans, this game was big that they can play against a desperate team that was looking to pull off a big upset. The Young American Players, especially guys like Ryan Miller, Zach Parise and Brian Rafalski who are playing in their First Olympics are showing that they can get it done against the best in the world.
Next up will be either the Czech Republic or Finland who finished with the Silver and Bronze Medals in 2006, the Americans have shown that playing teams in the Prelims and Quarterfinals that these guys are that good. Now they await they toughest test yet as they look to take down teams that are looking to win Gold after coming so close 4 years ago in Turin, Italy.
Next up for the U.S.A. will be the lowest remaining seeded team in the Semifinals coming up on Friday afternoon. With the win today by Team U.S.A., they will be guaranteed a chance at a medal this year. The Bronze Medal Game is on Saturday Night at 7:00 PM PST, then on Sunday afternoon is the Gold Medal Game as it's the final major event of these Winter Olympic Closing Ceremonies on Sunday Night.
From John Sanful of the International Ice Hockey Federation Website: http://www.iihf.com/
From Vancouver: The Americans dodged a bullet on Wednesday afternoon. Switzerland threatened to beat the U.S.A. since the 1948 Winter Olympic Games, but Zach Parise's power play goal in the third period gave the U.S.A. a 2-0 win, moving into the Semifinals against the Winner of the Czech Republic VS. Finland Game later tonight.
This was not the ideal scenario for Team U.S.A. After coming off a big win over Canada to finish atop Prelim Group A, Team U.S.A. entered this game meeting an opponent they've already beaten on the opening day of the Men's Tournament.
Prior to this game these teams have played each other 6 times in Olympic play with the U.S.A. winning all 6 prior games. But the Swiss would have none of it, Switzerland has grown accustomed to playing closely contested games. Their last 3 games have gone into OT and two shootouts. They played like a team that had nothing to lose, taking the play to the Americans.
"It was good to go into the intermission with a 0-0 game," said Yannick Weber. "I think it would have been different if it was 1-0." I think it gave us some confidence. We went out in the third period to get the win." It was close, but it just wasn't our day."
Team U.S.A. started tentatively, turning over the puck their first pass out of their zone. In addition there were several individual efforts that were unsuccessful. Rather then dump the puck and go after it, a few skaters tried to stickhandle through Swiss players, which was hardly effective.
The Swiss was rentless in pursuit of the puck. They enjoyed several odd-man rushes. Despite only four shots in the 1st period, the Swiss would also threaten, including one shift where Raffaele Sannitz had exceptional chances to score and delivered a big hit.
It was the Jonas Hiller Show today. Ryan Miller had to be extra sharp today as he faced odd man rushes and high percentage shots from the Swiss, whe were playing with incredible confidence. Miller was poised in goal. Jonas Hiller also stood strong for his team in goal, making 18 saves in the first period alone and keeping the Americans off the scoreboard.
In the 2nd period, Phil Kessel had the best chance for the Americans for the Americans when he sent a shot that rang off the post and crossbar. With time running out in the 2nd period, the Americans through that Dustin Brown had scored near the end of the 2nd. Hiller made a save then as the puck was in the air tried to bat it upwards, which he did but it went over his shoulder and on the goal line with no time left on the clock.
The play was reviewed and the officials concluded no goal.
"I was upset about the disallowed goal more then anything," said Ryan Kesler. "I though it was in. I didn't hear the horn until afterwards."
After two periods of play the Americans and Swiss remained tied. It appeared the inexperience and nerves of Team U.S.A. may have gotten the best of them. Only a big 3rd period would change things.
"It was good to go into the intermission with a 0-0 game," said Yannick Weber. "I think it would have been different if it was a 1-0. I think it game us some confidence. We went out in the 3rd period to get the win. It was close, but just wasn't our day."
The American Power Play was out of sync until the third period when Zach Parise put his team on the board when Philippe Furrer was called for Tripping.
Parise tapped his stick on the ice in front of Hiller, expecting a good low shot could be redirected. Brian Rafalski's shot was deflected by Parise over Hiller's glove and slowly dribbled into the net.
Swiss Assistant Captain, Sandy Jeannin appeared to have tied the game a few minutes later. Instant Replay showed that his shot hit the post and roll across the goal line, but didn't cross over the goal line. Parise had another chance but hit the post. Team U.S.A. picked up things significantly in the 3rd period. They were skating much more effectively and creating quality scoring chances.
"It'd be a lot less nerve wracking [to win big]," said Rafalski. "But it's good for our guys. It's a sign of maturity that we didn't panic. We didn't sit back, we continued to create chances."
The Swiss would not let up. With less then two minutes remaining they called a timeout to pull Jonas Hiller, but Parise scored his 2nd on an empty net. Now the Americans can take a breath and watch tonight's game at the UBC Thunderbird Arena to find out who they will play in Friday's Semifinal.
"Right now, we sit back and watch the Finns and Czechs play," said Rafalski. "We've run into Finland a lot over the years in recent international events, the Czechs, not so much. The Finns have good, deep goaltending, and both teams have good forwards. "It'll be a tough night either way".
Look for the Canada VS. Russia Game Report Later Tonight, then the Czech Republic VS. Finland and Sweden VS. Slovakia Game Reports tomorrow.

More than 100 panicking families who have lost contact with relatives working abroad filed complaints to the rights group Adhoc in just a two-month period that ended on January 31, representatives of the organisation said yesterday.
The 102 complaints mark a sharp increase from the 76 filed with the organisation in the first 11 months of the past year, Lim Mony, deputy head of the woman's section said.
But she said this did not necessarily represent an increase in the number of Cambodians disappearing in foreign countries.
"Because families from other provinces seem to have panicked over their sons and daughters who work abroad since the government ban, and they have not received phone calls from them, they've filed complaints to Adhoc," she said.
In October, Prime Minister Hun Sen signed a moratorium forbidding labour recruitment firms from sending migrant domestic workers – primarily maids – to Malaysia amid recurring violent abuse and exploitation scandals.
In Kampong Chhnang province alone, 40 complaints had been filed in the past two weeks, Lim Mony said.
Adhoc provincial Kampong Chhnang coordinator Sam Chankea said his office had been overwhelmed by the complaints and had stopped taking on fresh cases because they were too backed up.
One of those who complained was Chea Mon, from Kampong Speu province, who has not seen her son in more than 11 years, since he travelled to Thailand in search of a lucrative salary.
After repeatedly travelling to Phnom Penh International Airport to greet repatriated groups of trafficked Cambodian fishermen, hoping in vain her son would be amongst them, she has turned to Adhoc for help.
"I used to file complaints to the local authorities in my village, but for more than 10 years this was not been effective," she said, adding that police finally directed her to NGOs when she last travelled to the airport.
The Ministry of Interior has reported that at least 12,000 Cambodians were repatriated from abroad in 2011.

"A remarkable campaign that delivered the Holy Grail for FMCG businesses, listings and sales."Lucy Bearman, Head of Marketing, Wines, Pernod Ricard UK
In a crowded wine market, how do you get a relatively unknown Argentine Malbec to stand out and resonate amongst 25-35 year-old London men? That was the challenge to Atomic from Graffigna, one of Argentina's top wineries.
Our research revealed a little known fact about Malbec: it's the best wine for red meat. Period. It's due to a chemical bonding between tannin (a compound found in red wine which is naturally high in Malbec) and fat in red meat. Atomic then analysed the area of wine and meat. We also delved into food trends, competitor behaviour, social conversations and audience segmentation data that revealed:
When a brand wants to raise awareness in order to support its retail listings, the starting point is often around how PR can support customer marketing. But what if we could build the brand in the on-trade by targeting steak restaurants and use that power to leverage greater influence with retail buyers?
Enter #MeatyMalbec, our campaign that connected Graffigna with restaurants and in doing so, engaged the target audience and generated real business impact.
To get the brand into restaurants we needed a vehicle. We found that steak barely registers in food/restaurant awards. So we created London's first steak awards and launched the inaugural Graffigna London Steak Awards.
We recruited four judges, all influential in food, wine and lifestyle with a strong male following. Two double page spreads in Foodism brought the campaign to life. A feature on the science was also developed and sold into MailOnline, resulting in a full-length feature.
The 100 public nominations became a shortlist of ten and then the public voted for the final four. Our judges had the tough job of visiting the restaurants and broadcasting the tastings across social media and blogs. Finally, the inaugural winner was announced – Hawksmoor.
When Graffigna asked Atomic to get its award winning Malbec wines noticed, it was looking for a jump in awareness. What it got was an integrated campaign which drove sales, listings, data, engagement and reach and shortlists for numerous awards.

A six-year-old with cancer has been voted St Mirren's player of the year.
Aaron Woodall received over 500 votes from fans of the SPL club on blackandwhitearmy.com .
During his short life the youngster has already had to endure radiotherapy, chemotherapy and surgery to remove a brain tumour.
Little Aaron was a mascot for the club's clash with Motherwall in December just hours after being released from hospital following surgery a month earlier.
A statement on blackandwhitearmy.com read: "Aaron's strength & courage has been an inspiration to all of us, and a timely reminder of things around us that are much more important than football.
"We will be in touch with the club shortly to arrange to hand over our coveted trophy to this fine young man, who will also receive a framed St.Mirren shirt, signed by the League Cup winning team of 2013 as part of his award.
"Congratulations Aaron and all the very best with your continued recovery."
St Mirren's first-team have endured a torrid season and currently sit bottom of the SPL.
However, the heartwarming gesture towards Aaron has put the club's current plight into perspective.

Witty, racy and dark – riveting writing style of Hanif. I am clueless to the real challenges of a country or a religion and my opinions are coloured by media and literature, so I will limit my review to the writing and the plot – neutralising any references to a religion or country.
Hanif shows you the underbelly and madness of a country's political and feudal society. The strong influence of prejudice, power and fundamentalism in all spheres of life where your identity is either of a bigot or a traitor. In times of doubt your honesty and loyalty is judged by taking off your pants.
The author of 'The Case of Exploding Mangoes' recreates another novel which doesn't shy away from calling black as black. The story reminded me the fact that as many civil rules and laws we form, we are still animals living by the jungle law killing for survival and power. Nothing is fair or just if you hold the power and the gun.
The main protagonist is Alice – born into a low caste family, she is bold and brazen in a man's world. She married a protector but when the protector becomes the hunter then your state is no better than a chicken waiting to be cut and served. Teddy, Noor and other characters form central to the plot each bringing a shade of darkness and hidden secrets and desires in them. One is running behind goons and criminals and delivering its own form of justice, one is strong enough to fight the world but can't do anything to save his ailing and dying mother, one is the strong administrator who gets sympathetic to the victim, one a low caste cleaner who becomes hand of God trying to cure people with a candle and glass. So in short you will not get a normal character or common man, all of them are shown struggling with their individual demons merging into a shocking climax.
Leaving you with a few lines from the book..
In every man dances a thief, In every man dances a peacock.
The Gentlemen's squad is a group of like-minded police officers, not really an entity commissioned by any law-enforcing authority. The name of the unit doesn't exist on any official register, on letterheads or websites. There is no annual audits or medals of bravery; it does not hold press conferences to unveil the criminals it catches or kills, or more often catches and then kills. It is a group of gentlemen who, not given to any flights of literary imagination, have decided to call themselves the Gentlemen's Squad. It is a crew of reformed rapists (I have got three grown-up daughters now, you know), tortures, (it's a science, not an art), sharpshooters (monkeys really, as we spend half our lives perched of rooftops and trees) and generally the kind of investigators who can recognise a criminal by looking the way he blows his nose or turns a street corner. They have survived together for such a long time because they believe in giving each other space, they come together for a good cause like they have today, and then disperse to pursue their own personal lives.
'Don't be frightened of your own reflection. We all have bad moments in front of the mirror,' says Noor. 'You should probably get married. I have heard that a good husband is the only cure for bad dreams. You know why? Because then you are sleeping with your bad dream.'
'Don't be frightened of your own reflection. We all have bad moments in front of the mirror,' says Noor. 'You should probably get married. I have heard that a good husband is the only cure for bad dreams. You know why? Because then you are sleeping with your bad dream.'

Does she ever look cute in that little princess outfit! It looks like she had an amazing time and the video was great. My older girl dressed up as a farmer and my youngest a giraffe. Around these parts at this time of year it's about the warm costume, meaning the one you can put your winter coat under. My youngest daughter is all about the princess, and I could just see our girls playing princess together.ReplyDelete

Shi'a Islamic militant group and political party Hezbollah has escalated the debate in the Middle East with claims that American Jews created Hollywood in a bid to "take over the world." According to an extremist program called Jews, Movies, Hollywoodism, and the American Dream, which aired on the Lebanon-based organization's al-Manar TV, Jews have tried to alter society's opinions of them by creating Hollywood characters that would serve as role models. Jews did this, the broadcast claimed, because they felt American society rejected them and so creating super heroes who also serve as role models was seen as a way of integrating.
The creators of the program also alleged that while some of the key characters in Hollywood history were overtly Jewish in their portrayal, others were disguised as superheros as a means of hiding the faith's attempt to dominate both American and world culture. The program's narrator argued that because Superman is such a likeable creation but could not fit in due to the fact he came from the fictitious planet Krypton, it was clever of him to invent a feeble character like Clark Kent that was better suited to American society.
A contributor called Farroukh Majidi, who was cited on the program as a polymath – being an expert, a professor and an international photographer – referred to what was being portrayed in the program as Jews' endeavors to manipulate heroic characters for real-life influence and political gain. He was also of the belief, along with Hezbollah, that Jews created Hollywood as part of a strategy to rule the world. Majidi further claimed that while "we all" want to take over the world, Jews had access to the relevant technology and cinematic luminaries to carry it out easier than Hezbollah or any other group of people.
There was also a special reference to Steven Spielberg classic Schindler's List along with German-Jewish filmmaker Carl Laemmle. He is famed for having sponsored the journey of thousands of Jews from Nazi Germany. The narrator said it saved Jews from what the program described as "the so-called Holocaust." The program also said Laemmle emigrated from Germany "for the sake of his Jewishness" and subsequently founded Universal Studios, where some of the world's biggest and most famous films continue to be made.
The State of Israel, the world's only Jewish majority country, gained independence in 1948 and has been the subject of controversy ever since. Neighboring countries in the Middle East, mainly Arab ones, were unhappy with the way the region was carved up after the second world war and used to house holocaust survivors and refugees who sought a new life after their European communities were destroyed. Since then conflicts have been commonplace in the region with Jews and Arabs failing to agree on Israel's existence as a majority Jewish state.
The argument has extended to the role of Jews outside Israel as successive leaders in Israel's neighboring countries have often claimed that Jews in America have too much influence on popular culture and world affairs. Right now, the influential Hezbollah has stoked the flames with claims that Jews created Hollywood to take over the world.
