While remarkable gains in health have been achieved since the
mid-20th century, they have been unequally distributed, and mortality
and morbidity burdens in some regions remain enormous. Of the almost 10
million children under 5 years of age who died in 2006, only 100 000
died in industrialised countries, while 4.8 million died in sub-Saharan
Africa. (1) In deciding whether to finance an intervention to improve
population health, policy makers commonly weigh the expected population
health gains against the costs of the intervention. Most vaccinations
included in national immunisation schedules, such as measles
vaccination, are both effective in preventing ill health and relatively
inexpensive. (2) Newer vaccinations, such as those with pneumococcal
conjugate vaccine (PCV) or rotavirus vaccine, can effectively prevent
child mortality and morbidity but are expensive relative to the
vaccinations currently included in national immunisation schedules.
Policy makers may therefore decide that--at current prices--the
comparison of health gains with costs does not justify the free public
provision of these vaccinations. We argue that in addition to the health
benefits of vaccinations, their effects on education and income (3) and
their benefits for unvaccinated community members can be considerable
and should therefore be included in calculations to establish the value
of vaccinations. Most economic evaluations of vaccinations focus heavily on the benefits of avoided health care costs (Table I). While it is theoretically possible to take productivity gains into account in economic evaluation (Table II), traditionally, evaluations of vaccinations have either not considered such gains or have only included one particular type of gain: the value of the time that parents would have spent caring for a sick child had a disease episode not been averted by vaccination (care-related productivity gains, Table I). (4) Such a narrow perspective may lead to substantial underestimates of the value of some vaccinations. It neglects lifetime productivity gains because a vaccination prevents diseases that can cause cognitive impairment, lead to physical handicap, or reduce school attendance (outcome-related productivity gains, Table I). Cost-benefit analyses (CBAs) in developing countries find return on investment in vaccinations (due to improved cognitive development and worker productivity) (5) of similar magnitude to the return on investment in education. (6) A narrow focus on care-related productivity gains further excludes increases in productivity due to changes in behaviour in response to vaccination effects (behaviour-related productivity gains, Table I). Many vaccinations significantly reduce child mortality from infectious diseases. As child mortality declines, parents realise that they can give birth to fewer children to attain their desired minimum number of offspring. (7) Reduced fertilty leads to a decreasing ratio of economically dependent people in a population, which increases the labour force per capita and savings. Savings, in turn, can be invested in the physical and human capital needed for economic growth. As average family size decreases, parents are likely to invest more in the education and health of each child, leading to improved productivity in adulthood. Most economic evaluations of vaccinations also do not consider the value of externalities in the wider community, i.e. the effect of a child's vaccination on non-vaccinated community members. Such community externalities (Table I) include reductions in infection rates in unvaccinated people because vaccinations reduce the probability that a healthy individual will encounter an infectious person (up to the point of herd immunity, where sufficient numbers of people are vaccinated such that infection of one individual will not result in an epidemic). They also include decreased rates of antibiotic resistance because less antibiotics are used when more children are protected by vaccination against bacterial infections. Applying the broad perspective to value of vaccination in South Africa Taking a broad perspective may be especially important in evaluating vaccinations in South Africa (Table I). From 1976 to 2006, the proportion of the South African population younger than 15 years of age fell from 42% to 32% (8) as fertility declined, (9) in part the result of HIV-related infertility and fetal loss. (10) At the same time, the fraction of working-age adults increased (while the fraction of people aged 65 years and above remained approximately constant).8 When the ratio of children and elderly per working-age adult decreases, a country has an opportunity to develop economically because increased savings lead to greater investment in physical and human capital. (7) Health is an important form of human capital, including health attained through vaccinations. South Africa has made great strides in increasing coverage of basic childhood immunisation. The South African Demographic and Health Survey reported coverage with routine vaccines in children 12-23 months of age ranging from 62% for measles vaccination to 81% for bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination in 2003. (11) Vaccinations have contributed significantly to South Africa's decline in child mortality. From 1975 to 1990, under-5 mortality declined by almost half, from 110 to 60 deaths per 1 000 live births. (9) However, this trend has been reversed recently, largely because of the HIV epidemic. (12) The under-5 mortality rate in South Africa was 69 per 1 000 live births in 200611 and is therefore not on target to achieving the UN's Millennium Development Goal of reducing under-5 mortality by two-thirds between 1990 and 2015. Many interventions that could reduce child mortality in South Africa--such as improved access to safe water and sanitation, improved childhood nutrition, or poverty reduction--require large infrastructure investment or sustained changes in social policy. In this situation, the recent decision by the South African Department of Health to add PCV and rotavirus vaccinations to the national immunisation schedule, despite their comparatively high prices, (13) is noteworthy and may serve as an example for other countries to follow. Pneumococcal diseases are a major cause of childhood mortality and morbidity in South Africa. (14) PCV is effective in preventing pneumococcal diseases, including pneumonia, meningitis and otitis media. (While we describe productivity gains and externalities using the example of PCV vaccination, a similar case of substantial vaccination benefits can be made for the rotavirus vaccine.) Because HIV-infected children are at significantly higher risk of acquiring pneumococcal disease than uninfected children, PCV will prevent larger numbers of pneumococcal infections and deaths in HIV-infected children, even though they are less likely to develop a protective immune reaction in response to PCV than HIV-uninfected children. (15) A large randomised controlled trial in South Africa found that PCV prevented 267 and 2 573 cases of pneumococcal pneumonia per 100 000 person-years in HIV-uninfected and HIV-infected children, respectively. (14) PCV vaccination is therefore an appropriate intervention to mitigate the negative effect of HIV on child mortality. In addition to its health benefits, PCV coverage may lead to behaviour-related productivity gains, if the mortality reduction due to vaccination accelerates South Africa's current fertility decline. Moreover, PCV coverage is likely to benefit unvaccinated community members. It decreases the rate of occurrence of antibiotic-resistant pneumococcal infections, (21) avoiding the health costs of untreatable disease and the health care costs of using more expensive second-line antibiotics. As pneumococcal disease can cause substantial morbidity and mortality in the elderly and in the HIV-infected middle-aged, childhood PCV vaccination is likely to lead to substantial reduction in pneumococcal disease burden in population groups that will not routinely receive the vaccination. A study in the USA taking such herd effects into account found large benefits from the externality, (22) but most other studies of PCV value have ignored them. (23) Herd protection against pneumococcal disease may be especially important in South Africa, where a large proportion of the adult population is HIV-positive and therefore vulnerable to severe recurrent pneumococcal infections. Conclusions South Africa has proven its commitment to ensuring that children receive effective vaccines, attaining high national vaccination coverage levels. In 2006 the country pledged $20 million to the International Finance Facility for Immunization (IFFIm), the major source of finance for the GAVI Alliance's effort to extend coverage with new and under-used vaccines to low-income countries. (24) More recently, South Africa decided to include PCV and rotavirus vaccinations in its national immunisation schedule. (25) It is highly likely that coverage of children with the two vaccines will not only reduce child morbidity and mortality, but will also lead to significant productivity gains, contributing to South Africa's economic development, and benefit unvaccinated South Africans. The precise size of the contributions of these productivity gains and externalities to health and wealth in South Africa are unknown. Adding the two vaccinations to the national immunisation schedule offers an excellent opportunity to measure these effects, and evaluation studies should complement the vaccination roll-out. As the evidence grows, we expect the estimates of the value of many vaccinations to increase significantly, ensuring that policy makers have the necessary information to make optimal choices on vaccination provision.

Routes : North America : United States : Maryland : Western Md. : Catoctin Mountains : Crow's Nest Boulders
Crow's Nest Boulders
About Crow's Nest Boulders:
Overhanging climbs of varying quality scattered along the hillside between crow's nest campground and the park headquarters on md 77. The climbs here range from intimidating highball mini-solos to lowball ass-draggers. There are warm-ups and projects to be found right off the trail which lends to convenience, as well as a multitude of small outcroppings and a few gems to be found further up the hill. Go explore and have fun! Don't forget a towel because there are awesome swimming holes all along to creek to help you cool down after a sess. |
Approach: | After passing Frank Bentz memorial lake at the base of the mountain park along 77 at any of the numerous pull offs (the one on the right after you see the sign welcoming you to the Catoctin mountains is decent). Cross hunting creek and hike west on the trail toward the park hq until you come across the rock outcropping. Continue to follow the trail to find another rock outcropping. Everything else is scattered along the hillside, most of which you can see in the winter. |
Approach Time: | |
Latitude, Longitude: | |
Access Issues: | You are only allowed to climb at wolf rock in Catoctin national park if you have a permit and helmets, so technically climbing here is forbidden. However, this is a little used section of the park and I have never seen a park ranger. Use you own discretion when climbing here and be respectful of anyone you encounter-especially hikers and fishermen/women because the government thinks they have more of a right to be here than you do. |

David Beckham scored the winning goal as the Los Angeles Galaxy went top of the Major League Soccer Western Conference with a 2-1 win away to Chivas USA.
Edson Buddle put the Galaxy in front with a 24th-minute strike before former England captain extended the lead after 39 minutes.
Beckham's contribution proved to be crucial as Alan Gordon (63) reduced the arrears before Galaxy substitute Eddie Lewis' 76th-minute sending-off.
Beckham, still to reach full fitness as he continues his comeback from a ruptured Achilles tendon, lasted 64 minutes, being replaced by Lewis who managed 12 minutes before receiving his marching orders

Mercer Alumna Returns to Deliver Lecture on National Defense
Media Contact: Mark Vanderhoek, (478) 301-4037 or email@example.com
MACON — Mercer University alumna Mackenzie Eaglen returns to campus to deliver a lecture on national defense on Thursday at 7 p.m. in the Medical School Auditorium. Eaglen is now a research fellow for national security studies with the Douglas and Sarah Allison Center for Foreign Policy Studies at The Heritage Foundation, a national conservative think tank.
Eaglen has spent her time since graduating from Mercer as a political science major in 1999 developing her expertise in national defense policy and budgeting, earning a master's in national security studies from Georgetown University in 2001. She specializes in defense strategy, military readiness and the defense budget as research fellow for national security studies at the Heritage Foundation. Eaglen, a policy expert attached to Heritage's Allison Center for Foreign Policy Studies, also focuses on the defense industrial base and the size and structure of the nation's armed forces.
In 2010, Eaglen served as a staff member of the congressionally mandated Quadrennial Defense Review Independent Panel, a bipartisan, blue-ribbon commission established to assess the Pentagon's major defense strategy.
Her commentary and analysis have appeared in major newspapers such as The New York Times and The Washington Post, in military-focused publications such as Defense News and Army Times and in journals such as Armed Forces Journal, Proceedings, National Defense, Ripon Society Forum and Military Technology. Eaglen also is a regular contributor to GlobalSecurity.org's SitRep and NRO's The Corner.
Before joining Heritage in 2006, Eaglen was principal defense adviser to Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and ranking member of the Homeland Security Committee. Eaglen previously served as legislative assistant to Rep. John E. Sweeney (R-N.Y.). She served for more than two years at the Pentagon as a Presidential Management Fellow. She researched and analyzed defense resources and budgeting, strategic planning, Iraqi reconstruction efforts and the U.S. defense industrial base. She wrote speeches for Air Force Gen. Richard B. Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff following the Sept. 11 attacks. Earlier, she was a national security analyst at the Association of the United States Army's Institute of Land Warfare.

The breeding of these crops is taking place at national agricultural
research centres and at International programmes like HarvestPlus.
According to Dr Erick Boy, head of nutrition at HarvestPlus, hidden
hunger, which is caused by not getting enough vitamins is a major
problem in developing countries.
Scientists have released the first nutritious crop, the orange sweet
potato, which has 100 per cent of daily vitamin A needs for young
children. Six additional crops are currently being developed.
Boy said these crops will be distributed to more than three million
farming households in seven countries in Africa and Asia by 2015. (END//2013)

Every year I get NCAA Football, but not sure if I want to get it this year. How is it different from previous titles released? The achievements on all the games are always pretty similar and the graphics/gameplay really hasn't changed a whole lot. So what makes this one better than the old ones?

Scratch built 24" V hull Jet boat
Yellow Boat Hull 3
The hull is 4 inches longer than Yellow Boat 1 the keel is fiberglass and epoxy as are the chines, everywhere else its hot glue. Much cleaner hull then the earlier boats but still a bit ugly. These hulls are tough as, run them into rocks do what you like they just flex. I suppose they would fail at the seams when they do, that's why I glassed in the keel. The ride plate is glassed in on the inside so its really stiff, as the pump is all outboard I have recessed the transom to hide it away a bit. Its a big jet unit. Room for 2 X 11.1V 2200mAh 20C batteries in parallel should deliver up to 80 + Amps. Ran this on test over 2 Kgs of thrust on a 3C @ 54 Amps Turnigy 450 H2218 Brushless outrunner 2100KV with homebrew water cooling added, big bore pipes just because that the brass I had in stock. Hobbyking SS Series 90-100A ESC with a water cooling plate added its an overrated ESC so should do the job easy. Will need a BEC I have a 5A in stock also. The Cooling System |

These pics aren't the lastest, will get some more up once iv put things together a bit more. Have almost finished the top deck so thought id weigh it just with a 1700mah 2s lipo. 550 grams! But that's total weight without a motor. The motor weighs 153 grams so a total of 700-750 grams aint too bad. Or is it? |
Latest blog entry: FAA registration
Looks like my pattern
That will be a really seaworthy hull I play with my Coroplast design in the surf and have only capsized once. Yellow Boat weighs around 750 Grams at launch with a 2200mAh lipo The weight for your boat should be good should go well. Looks around 20" like Yellow Boat I measured the thrust from an NQD unit the other day and got 950 Grams of thrust on 11.1V with a P2632 3800kv motor pulling 34 Amps, around 375 Watts Weight / Watts = 4 Grams per Watt Thrust / Watts = 2.53 Grams per Watt (which is a bit like and EDF jet in air) This is what my design is a homage to btw yours is similar Yellow Boat 3 |
You scratch builders are living my dream. If I had a bit more time on my hands I'd be building boats from scratch all the time.
I've wanted to build an aluminum hull jet drive RC boat longer than I knew there were RC pumps. Thanks for sharing them. My ultimate RC goal is to someday build a jetdrive powered hydrofoil. |
I was not able to find a HK motor I wanted at the time, so I went to Ebay, got a 2100(apprx?). I'm happy with it, but if I was to do it all over again, I'd try to find a 3000 for more speed in the lakes. The 2000 range motor is very adequate for rivers as far as I'm concerned. |
I built Yellow Boat 3 in 3 hours yesterday once you have a pattern its simple
I you like I can send you the pattern by email? Or you can see it on my blog and make one from that |

I wonder would the hydrofoil need some kind of foil angle control system? like a plane or are they fixed?
I want to build an Ekranoplan half plane half boat The Russians build such cool things Rostislav Alexeyev |

I have tired up to 4200kv on a 3C which was too fast for the NQD In think
My 3800kv runs well on a 3C I think (know) that there is a limit to the amount of water you can force though the nozzel of the NQD On a bath test the 3800kv moves water well and primes Ok at full speed if you lift the inlet clear and re-immerse it. Also the power level is good at 375 Watts drawing 34 Amps the 3800kv is the bets motor I have run an the NQD jet pump I think. I have a larger unit 30mm home made with a 2100kv its a bit of an unknown quantity , initial testing is encouraging with lots of thrust and with the lower RPM there is scope for more batt cells |

My husband and I own a bungalow built in 1922. We know that we have combined sewers (the rain water and sewage flow through the same lines). When there is a hard, fast rain the basement floor drain takes on water and...ummm other things that shouldn't be on a basement floor.
I actually work in preservation and have asked a few of my co-workers about this problem. They have told me that we need a stop-check valve for the drain to alleviate this horrible issue. It just happened the other day (we're in Indiana and had a few nasty storms) and we had about 4 inches of water in the basement. Thankfully it recedes quickly but the mess it leaves is beyond nasty as you can imagine.
So, my questions are...-has anyone else dealt with this issue? -what is the best solution to this problem? -if we need a stop-check valve is that something that we can do ourselves or do we need to hire a plumber?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Originally produced in January of 1993, when Claire Danes was just thirteen, ABC had a difficult time finding a proper time slot for the show. Eventually they found a timeslot for it after several of ABC's Midseason replacements faltered. The show ended on January 26th, 1995 but was not officially cancelled until May 15th, 1995. The show only lasted 19 episodes even though there was heavy support from the fan base and critics that encouraged ABC to bring back the show. Despite of the huge amount of support, ABC did cancel the show, the main reason being low ratings. Reruns of the show aired on MTV starting in April of 1995 and lasted 2 years. Fox Family has recently picked up the show but subsequently their contract has expired as well.
The basic premise of My So-Called Life is the the life of Angela Chase, a sophomore who goes to Liberty High School in a city called Three Rivers, and those around her. It follows her at a time of rebellion for her as she attempts to search for her true identity and attempts to separate herself from her past (her family, and her two childhood friends, Sharon and Brian) and seeks a new life with her two new friends, Rayanne (voted Most Slut Potential by students) and Rickie (who is a devout homosexual Catholic). It also revolves around the somewhat sporadic relationship between her and Jordan Catalano (left back for two years), who she finds intriguing and mysterious.
Main Cast: Actor's Name (Character's Name) Claire Danes (Angela Chase) Jared Leto (Jordan Catalano) A.J. Langer (Rayanne Graff) Devon Gummersall (Brian Krakow) Devon Odessa (Sharon Cherski) Wilson Cruz (Rickie Vasquez) Bess Armstrong (Patty Chase) Tom Irwin (Graham Chase) Lisa Wilhoit (Danielle Chase)
The only season of My So-Called Life consisted of 19 episodes

Illustration by Bob AulWhen we got together, you worked out every day. You said health was as important to you as intellect and spirituality. Now you're a fatso whose reading list includes everything from Sports Illustrated to Sports Illustrated. You couldn't name the president if I spotted you four letters—and you accuse me of being shallow because I tell you the truth when you ask me if your ass looks big in those pants. (Answer: not just your ass). I'm sorry, but knowing the story behind the story of Bon Jovi, drinking every night and sleeping late every morning—these things don't make a real life. Naps aren't meditation. Chocolate with Rice Krispies isn't two of the main food groups. TV isn't educational, not even the news. Your brain has shrunk as your body has blown up. Your soul? Remember when we used to call each other soulmates? You are my soulless mate. Or rather, you were. You'd never find this in a newspaper; that's why it's in the refrigerator. And by the time you read it, I'll be gone. Enjoy your pretend life.

Sussex Sharks consolidated their position at the top of the Friends Provident Twenty20 South Division with a comfortable victory over Surrey Lions at The Oval yesterday.
Surrey collapsed from 57 for 1 to 119 all out to fall 39 runs short of Sussex's total and give the Sharks their seventh win in eight games.
Kiwi Brendon McCullum top-scored for Sussex with 34 as they posted 158 for 7, before young leg-spinner Will Beer turned the game with the ball, taking 2 for 16.
Somerset, meanwhile, maintained the pressure on Sussex by coasting to an emphatic fourth win of the campaign by 84 runs, with nine balls to spare, over Kent in Beckenham.
In a repeat of last season's semi-final, the Sabres rattled up an impressive 189, built around an unbeaten 77 from man-of-the-match James Hildreth and Jos Butler's 48 not out.
The visitors defended their total strongly as local lad Ben Phillips came back to taunt his former club with 2 for 24.

A perfect base for a ski trip to Les Carroz
The Apartment was clean on arrival, was very central to the lovely village with only a short walk to the ski bus. The beds were comfortable, the dining/living area was spacious ( a microwave would be handy ! )You could see the mountains from the balcony which all in all made for the perfect location for us. We will definitely return.
Great apartment, great service
This apartment has been furnished as someone's home, and it shows. The kitchen is very well equipped (never stayed in a ski apartment with an oyster knife before!), and it has loads of goodies - tv, dvd player (with lots of dvds), ipod dock, washer/drier, dishwasher, etc.
The apartment is in the centre of town on a quiet street, only a few steps from the square with its restaurants and bars. The nearest ski bus stop is on the far side of the square, only a couple of minutes walk away. Every ski bus stops here, so we never waited more than 5 minutes for a bus.
Sue Lewis of Skifusion was brilliant. She answered all our questions quickly and accurately. We feel that you find out how good service really is when you have a problem. The internet stopped working. We contacted Sue and she tried to resolve it over the phone, when she couldn't she came to us immediately, organised a temporary alternative and got it fixed promptly - really great service.
Would be very happy to stay here again.

Passion Crops Now On Line on US Side!
On the day I buy a new jacket and accidentally tear the rip out tag out when hanging it up, Lululemon re-releases my favorite crops, the Passion crop. The photo on the website is showing Coal and Antidote ones but when you click through you get the black. I really like the just-below-knee length and the comfortable ribbed cuff at the bottom. The bottoms ride up a little when I spin but these are the luxtreme crops I reach for most often.
2 comments:
You think they'll soon release other colors of this crop other than all black?
- January 15, 2011 at 10:41 AM
They released this in different color combos in Australia. Not sure if it will reach US or Canada.

Latest Version Changes [view all]Inspiration for a waveguide model based on Lovecraft's ululating Elder Thing came shortly after the development of Fauna VST. This more complex vocal tract includes a reflective multiport junction. It is a rather eclectic instrument suitable for emulation of the calls of eldritch monstrosities. The vocal tract includes a monophonic input for processing external sounds.

Columbia Gorge was a highlight that we have been looking forward to with the trip for a while now - even before we left NZ.

It wasn't as tall as Horsetail, but this one had a cave underneath the falls that you could climb into, and the falls would pass over the mouth of the cave. It was really awesome!

This was a "hike down" path, so we didn't want to go too far knowing we would have to "hike up" to get back to the bike. If we had looked at the sign, we would have noticed the entire hike would have been 6 miles out and 6 miles back, so I'm glad ...

Psychogeography. If you've not heard the term before, trust me, it's not another wacko web phenomenon. It has a critical pedigree extending back to the last century and, should you need a definition, it's "the study of the precise effects of geographical setting... on (one's) mood and behaviour." The web has plenty of sites to get you acquainted with this odd, absorbing discipline.
The Virtual Psychogeographical Association has a well-ordered starting point at homepages. tcp.co.ul/mckay/vap.htm. The site is unfortunately undergoing an overhaul at the moment, but you can always try www.unpopular.demon. co.uk/lpa. While doing so, it's worth bearing in mind one of the psychogeographer's primary activities: the derive. A French term, it means, roughly, a carefully planned walk through an urban environment in such a way as to attempt a deconstruction of it social, political and personal significance. It may sound like rubbish, but there are a lot of sites covering the subject. The bizarrely entitled site, Ralph Rumney's Revenge, details the campaign of "psychogeographical warfare" waged by of the Italian political fringe group, Luther Blissett (don't ask) www. pengo.it/luther/rumney.htm. If you should be interested in the critical theory, try the Info Centre, ourworld. compuserve.co/homepages/ info, a strikingly designed site which includes excerpts from a number of key texts.
Trying times
Break out the Barbour Jackets and dust down the yards of ale - the Rugby Union World Cup is nearly upon us. The forthcoming tournament's official site, www.rwc99.com (above), is elegantly organised, with daily news updates, team facts, match schedules and ticketing information though, notably, there are no on-line booking facilities.
Where you would expect some spark of originality, though - among the game's regular sites - there is efficiency but not much spirit. Rugby365 (www.rugby365. co.uk) will be familiar to anyone who's visited its brother, Football365. Regularly updated news, profiles, feedback and humour are just a few of the things on offer each day. Even Scrum, (www.scrum.com), the pick of a few comprehensive and detailed rugby sites, is, well, just a bit dull. As with Rugby365, the site tends to lean on features, team reports and star columns.

A veritable shrine to the news-god they call Chris Morris. The co-creator of On the Hour and the infamous Brass Eye is lovingly profiled here and his wisest words catalogued. For the real Morris junkie, there are even transcripts of the entirety of arguably his finest work, The Day Today.
Why not see what Nasa's been up to in the 30 years since it put man on the moon? The answers are intriguing, if only because of the obvious attempts at this competent site (above) to win over sceptical hearts and minds in a difficult time for the administration.

Double the capacity to serve local customers: Continental Tianjin's Second CAP Line Runs into Mass Production
Feb 13, 2015
- "EAST" Transmission Control Unit (TCU) production capacity will be doubled in China
- Committed to serving local customers: Next generation of "EAST" platform will go to the market in 2018
Shanghai/Tianjin, Feb. 13, 2015. Continental, the international automotive supplier announced lately that its second CAP (China Asia Production) line in Tianjin started mass production. The line is dedicated to the production of "EAST" TCU, a customized product for local market from Continental Transmission Business Unit. "Along with the great growth of automotive market in China, the demand of our customized product for Asian markets – 'EAST' TCU has been increasing substantially." said Gregoire Cuny, VP of Continental Transmission Business Unit Asia, "With the new CAP line, we double our production capacity for the EAST' TCU in China and we will be able to bring this powerful technology to even more local customers."
Continental brought "EAST" platform to China in 2009. It's specially designed and developed for local manufacturers, consists of a 32-bit modular architecture which is suitable to control all types of automatic transmissions: step automatic, double clutch, continuously variable and automated manual transmissions. The platform principle Continental has applied to the complete development phase of "EAST", ensures the TCU an optimum combination of modern control technology and high cost-efficiency. Meanwhile, the next generation of "EAST" platform is already under development and is scheduled to go into series production in 2018. The new generation will be powered with the latest micro-controllers lineup and with functional application software fully developed by Continental. Last but not least, it will meet the highest safety regulations in accordance with ISO standard 26262.
"We have captured the same trends in China market as in European and American markets," said Gregoire, "Automatic transmission technology is becoming increasingly popular in China, not only because this technology makes driving easier, but also satisfies the requirement of environmental protection." With refined transmission software, flexible and compact transmission design, and the application of integrated functionality concept, automatic transmission enables a 3%-6% CO2 emission reduction.
Since 1998, Continental Transmission Business Unit has made continuous and great investment in China, and has fruited numerous successes. Besides Tianjin location, Transmission Business Unit possesses a large local R&D team in Shanghai which delivers tailored solutions to the Chinese market.

Name | Virus.win32.lamer.z |
Description | A Virus.win32.lamer.z can have such a destructive effect on your computer that you may need to replace hardware to complete rid your system of its malicious effects. The Virus.win32.lamer.z will start up every time your computer starts up and may run secret programs in the background as your operating system runs normally. |
Type | Malware |
Alias | Trojan Horse Trojan.dropper.ba Mal.mdrop-s Trojandownloader:win32.kolilks.b |
How to manually remove Virus.win32.lamer.z guide. Only for ADVANCED users.
Check running processes on your system. Usually you can find Virus.win32.lamer.z process running. Use the Ctrl+Shift+Esc buttons combination to open system information window and click Processes tab. Scroll down the whole list and try to find the process named like Virus.win32.lamer.z. If you find Virus.win32.lamer.z process running, right click on it and choose "End Process". It will disable Virus.win32.lamer.z for the current Windows session, but remember that if you do not completely remove Virus.win32.lamer.z using next steps, then your PC will stay vulnerable to malware attack. Next steps are much more important in removing Virus.win32.lamer.z.
Prevent the malware from leaking or spreading your personal data. Malware usually uses the Internet to transfer all possible and important information you have. Some Malwares are not so "Active" and they can simply disable some Windows features and options. To disconnect your PC from the Internet you need to plug-off LAN cable (if you use LAN connection) or to turn of the Wi-Fi module (if you use Wi-Fi Internet connection). Most of (not 100%) Malwares can not access Wi-Fi module preferences. Turning off the Internet will disable Virus.win32.lamer.z from transferring any data from your PC.
The next step is very important in removing Virus.win32.lamer.z. After turning off the Internet and disabling Virus.win32.lamer.z process you will need to reboot your PC in so-called Safe Mode. Safe Mode is a Windows mode which allows you to start the System using only important applications and services. Safe Mode does not usually allow Virus.win32.lamer.z to load when the system boots (!!!but exceptions can appear!!!). Choose Restart in Windows Start menu and wait until the screen turns off.
After that you have to follow the next instructions according to the versions of Microsoft Windows you use:
Press the F8 key repeatedly when the first screen appears.
Select Safe Mode from Windows Advanced Options Menu and press ENTER.
Press the F8 key repeatedly when the first screen appears.
Use the arrow keys from Windows Advanced Options Menu in order to select Safe Mode and press ENTER.
Press and hold the Shift button when left-clicking the Restart button on Windows log-on screen.
Select Safe Mode from Windows Troubleshooting boot screen and press ENTER.
Having booted your PC in Safe mode you have to start cleaning your PC manually by deleting every file associated with Virus.win32.lamer.z one by one. Here is the list of all files associated with Virus.win32.lamer.z. Delete all files listed below using the Shift+Delete buttons combination. Always double check the file name as sometimes Malwares use very similar filenames as very important system files do and you can mistakenly remove important system file what will harm your system and you will not be able to boot your PC at all.
Please, remember that viruses are always progressing and sometimes new files can appear. If you are using our offline PDF guide on How to remove Virus.win32.lamer.z, please check if you have it's latest version.
We do not guarantee that Virus.win32.lamer.z has the same file structure at the moment of deleting.
After removing all files associated with Virus.win32.lamer.z that were listed above, reboot your system in normal mode and check if your PC works fine or you still have any troubles.
It it is OK – congratulations! You have made a great job!
If it is still NOT ok – use OSHI Defender to check your PC.
