text: Il sistema Argus II sarà rimborsato da Medicare negli Stati Uniti CMS Approves New Technology Add-on Payment and Pass-Through Payment for the Argus® II Retinal Prosthesis System - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – CMS Approves New Technology Add-on Payment and Pass-Through Payment for the Argus® II Retinal Prosthesis System Payments May Facilitate Beneficiary Access to Argus II in both Inpatient and Outpatient Settings Sylmar, CA- August 15, 2013 — Second Sight Medical Products, Inc., the leading developer of retinal prostheses for the blind, today announced that The Argus® II Retinal Prosthesis System (Argus II) has been approved by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) for both a new technology add-on payment (inpatient setting of care) and a transitional pass through payment (outpatient setting of care) beginning October 1, 2013. These payments are designed to support timely access to innovative technologies for Medicare beneficiaries. Hospital inpatient procedures utilizing the Argus II System will be reported with a new ICD-9-CM procedure code 14.81. For procedures performed in the hospital outpatient and ambulatory surgery center settings, the Argus II System will be reported with a new device pass-through HCPCS code C1841. "We are excited that CMS recognizes that the Argus II provides a substantial clinical benefit to patients and meets all of the criteria for both of these payments. This news greatly facilitates access to the Argus II for Medicare beneficiaries regardless of the setting of care in which the system is provided," said Brian Mech, VP of Business Development at Second Sight. Guideline information on billing, coding and payment for hospital outpatient departments and ASCs will be provided by CMS in the October quarterly update which will be released on or before September 1st. About Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP)RP is an inherited retinal degenerative disease that often results in near-complete blindness. It is caused by abnormalities of the photoreceptors (rods and cones) or the retinal pigment epithelium of the retina, leading to progressive loss of vision. It's estimated that RP affects roughly 100,000 Americans. About the Argus II SystemThe Argus II System works by converting video images captured by a miniature camera housed in the patient's glasses into a series of small electrical pulses that are transmitted wirelessly to an array of electrodes on the surface of the retina. These pulses are intended to stimulate the retina's remaining cells, resulting in the corresponding perception of patterns of light in the brain. The patient then learns to interpret these visual patterns, thereby regaining some visual function. The Argus II, which received FDA approval earlier this year under a Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE) following European approval (CE Mark) in 2011, is intended to help the most severely affected RP patients. In the US this includes patients with bare light perception or worse vision. About Second SightSecond Sight Medical Products, Inc., located near Los Angeles, California, was founded in 1998 to create a retinal prosthesis to provide sight to patients blinded from outer retinal degenerations such as RP. Through dedication and innovation, Second Sight's mission is to develop, manufacture and market implantable visual prosthetics to enable blind individuals to achieve greater independence. US Headquarters are in Sylmar, CA, and European Headquarters are in Lausanne, Switzerland.

They say racing improves the breed, and the smart fortwo definitely needs improvement. Daimler's city car isn't really good at anything besides looking cute, and it doesn't even do that particularly well. So it seems highly unlikely that a smart would be entered in the world's most grueling rally, the Dakar.
Spanish pilot José Luis Álvarez built such a machine to compete in the 2013 Dakar. Actually, it's more like an ATV with a smart body. Álvarez started with a first generation fortwo body (sold from 1998 to 2007 in Europe), and placed it atop the chassis from a Polaris XP 900 side-by-side ATV. That gives the fortwo some ground clearance, and makes room for off-road suspension. The fender flares also look like they were taken straight off a racing quad.
A Polaris ATV also supplied the Dakar smart's engine. It's a 900 cc mill that produces 90 horsepower. It may not seem like much, but it is an improvement over the stock car's 700 cc engine (the biggest engine offered) which made, at most, 61 hp. A U.S.-spec 2013 smart fortwo passion coupe has a 1.0-liter engine, with 70 hp.
The interior also received substantial modifications. It was gutted and fitted with a roll cage, while the driver's seat was moved to the middle, McLaren F1 style. The result is a "car" that weighs a scant 1,650 pounds.
The little smart will up against one of the world's greatest motorsport challenges. Unlike most rallies, the Dakar (formerly known as the Paris-Dakar) takes place primarily off-road; competitors spend most of the multi-day event traversing uninhabited terrain where vehicles were not meant to go.
The Dakar originally took place in Europe and Africa, with Dakar, Senegal as the destination. In 2009, the race moved to South America. The 2013 edition will start in Lima, Peru and finish in Santiago, Chile.
Dakar racers come in three general shapes: motorcycles, cars, and trucks. The cars can range from small dune buggies to SUVs like the Mitsubishi Pajero (which has won more Dakar victories than any other nameplate). The trucks are not pickups, but long haul rigs that weigh over 7,000 pounds. Some are used to resupply teams as they go.
What's remarkable about the Dakar is that, unlike most major races, a large portion of the competitors are amateurs or privateers. That's why a modified smart can make the starting line. The fortwo will be classified as a lightweight buggy in the 2013 Dakar, which begins January 5.

Medicare is an emotionally charged program because it provides health insurance coverage for the elderly. But Medicaid covers America's poor and disabled—and no one wants to see them harmed, either.
However, like Medicare, Medicaid is also in desperate need of reform if it is to continue serving the people it was designed to serve. Nearly one-third of America's doctors are already opting out of treating Medicaid patients—because their costs often outweigh what the program pays for care.
States—which already have budget crises of their own—share the cost of Medicaid with the federal government. They can't afford to simply add more people to Medicaid, which is one of Obamacare's main ways to insure more people. (The Supreme Court's Obamacare decision gave states some breathing room when it ruled that Obamacare's Medicaid expansion must be optional for states.)
The program already covers 62.5 million people—about 20 percent of America's population—and federal spending on Medicaid has no limit. That's right—there are no limits on federal spending for Medicaid. But there are limits on American taxpayers' wallets.
Simply adding people to Medicaid should not be the goal. Instead, like other welfare reforms, the goal should be helping people while they're down—and helping them get back up.
For those who are on Medicaid because of low incomes, the program should be reformed to empower them. Medicaid dollars should follow the individual, so that beneficiaries can choose the coverage they want and participate in the private market like the rest of their fellow citizens. They deserve to have more control over their health care and more personalized options. The Heritage Foundation has outlined such a reform in its Saving the American Dream plan.
The Saving the American Dream plan starts by transitioning non-disabled individuals out of government-run Medicaid and into premium support, where they would have the same private health care options as others. "Premium support" simply means that the health care payment goes with the individual to the plan of his or her choice. For a low-income individual trying to get ahead, the premium support amount could be used to pay the employee's share of an employer plan or to purchase individual coverage.
For the low-income elderly, who are caught in a complex, bureaucratic combination of Medicare and Medicaid, the Saving the American Dream plan would provide a coordinated care model like Medicare Advantage, while allowing Medicaid to provide additional assistance as necessary. Again, the result would be more control for the individual over the health care dollars and decisions.
Finally, the plan would restore traditional Medicaid to a true safety net—intended to help those with disabilities—while providing greater flexibility to the states to address the complex needs of these populations.
Heritage's Nina Owcharenko outlines three crucial steps to Medicaid reform:
- Repeal Obamacare. As noted, one of the health care law's goals was significantly expanding Medicaid without offering any solid reforms to address its sustainability. Without repeal, the problems facing Medicaid and the rest of the health care system are extraordinary.
- Put Medicaid on a budget. Although states must balance their budgets, federal Medicaid spending has no limit. The more a state spends, the more federal taxpayers must pay out. Therefore, it is critical that federal Medicaid spending is put on a dependable and sustainable path. Block grants to the states, which would give them more flexibility in helping their populations, could be used for taking care of the disabled and elderly.
- Set core policy objectives. The policy objectives of Medicaid reform must be clear. It should establish patient-centered, market-based solutions that reduce dependence on government health care and improve care for the most vulnerable.
Medicaid needs reforms that will give America's poor and disabled the health coverage they need, without bankrupting taxpayers. This type of reform is possible, and the sooner we get started, the better.

Bomb Attack in Southwest Pakistan Leaves 19 Shia Pilgrims Dead
Comments Off
(NEW YORK) -- A bomb attack on a bus convoy in southwest Pakistan killed at least 19 Shia Muslim pilgrims on Sunday, the BBC reports.
Over 20 people were injured in the attack that took place in the Mastung district of Baluchistan province. Officials said that some of the injured victims were in critical condition and that the death toll could rise. Initial reports said the bomb had been detonated by a remote control, but a government official said it was a suicide attack. No group has claimed responsibility for the incident, says the BBC.
Sectarian violence in Pakistan has gotten worse in recent years. In November, 23 Shia Muslims were killed in a bomb attack in Rawalpindi, according to the BBC.

At a press conference a few days ago, President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) set the tone for the ongoing influence peddling affair by saying that Legislative Speaker Wang Jin-pyng's (王金平) alleged lobbying activities have greatly hurt the judiciary's independence.
We have no clear legal definition of what constitutes lobbying, but there are many different ways that someone can influence judicial independence. Some examples are Ma's public comment that "judicial decisions should be consistent with public expectations" after former president Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁) was acquitted of wrongdoing in connection to a land procurement deal in Taoyuan County's Longtan Township (龍潭), and his comment that "medical parole is tantamount to releasing him" in response to Chen's request to be released from prison.
Another example is his rhetorical question: "If this is not lobbying, then what is?" said in reference to Wang at the same press conference.
These statements have had a clear effect on the judiciary. Thanks to the power inherent in Ma's positions as president and chairman of the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT), his statement in connection to the Longtan case resulted in a quick reversal of the "not guilty" and his comments about medical parole resulted in the rejection of Chen's request. Could it really be argued that these statements did not have an effect on the judiciary's independence?
The Special Investigation Division revealed the influence peddling affair and Wang's alleged involvement at a press conference a few days ago and then submitted the case to the Control Yuan for further investigation. Ma was very quick to follow up on these developments by publicly defining the incident as a case of improper lobbying.
Is it at all possible that Ma's statement will not influence the findings of the Control Yuan's investigation? Is it possible for the KMT's disciplinary committee to reach the conclusion that this was not a case of lobbying?
Ma says that private dealings constitute lobbying, while public expressions of dissatisfaction with a judicial decision or expressing his views of a case that still has not been finalized in a third and final trial does not. It is self-evident which of these approaches has the greatest impact on the judiciary's independence.
There is a public consensus that judicial independence should be protected. Any action that destroys judicial independence should be condemned in the strongest possible terms. Public expressions of dissatisfaction with judicial decisions and asking prosecutors in private to give thorough consideration to whether they should appeal a verdict are both actions that could affect judicial independence.
The first approach was taken by the president as he used the media to suggest to the presiding judge how the case should be handled, as if he did not know that such action would affect judicial independence. To then make the judgment that a private conversation in an uncertain context was lobbying makes it seem that the president feels he is free to do things that others are banned from doing. With such double standards, how will he ever be able to gain the public's trust?
The core legal value is fairness, and that means a uniformity of standards. As president and head of state, Ma should abide by the Constitution and protect democracy and the rule of law. Looking at his actions and paraphrasing Ma himself, "If this is not a violation of the law and the destruction of discipline, then what is?"

Steven Ramey is standing inside a Boeing 747 fuel tank, and he's having the time of his life.
Pointing to where the aircraft's 50,000-pound wing attaches to the fuselage, Ramey notes where bolts are being removed.
"This is the first time we've pulled off a wing," the Boeing employee says. "It's great. We get to come in here, like a bunch of kids, tear it apart and then put it back together."
The wing belongs to NASA 905, a jumbo jet that ferried dozens of space shuttles from landing sites in California and New Mexico back to Florida. Now stationed at Ellington Field, the aircraft, which is 232 feet long and 63 feet tall, is being disassembled for an 8-mile move in late April to Space Center Houston.
In its current state, the plane is yet another reminder that the shuttle program is now part of history.
An "Aircraft on Ground" team from Boeing is carefully removing parts and the bolts that attach them, and storing them for reassembly. Although the plane will break into nine big pieces for the trip, there are thousands of smaller pieces. Cranes and drills and airplane parts are strewn everywhere.
"One of our biggest logistics problems is keeping track of the parts," Ramey told the Houston Chronicle. "It's kind of like we are moving a puzzle from one location to another."
Later this year Ramey and his team will put the plane back together, a 44-day process that will reverse the work they're currently doing. Then the museum will place a space shuttle mock-up -- Independence -- atop it. In 2015, both the aircraft and shuttle will open as an interactive, six-story display.
The museum needs about $12 million to move the aircraft and set it up for display, said Jack Moore, a spokesman for the facility. They've raised $9 million, with a large chunk of that from an in-kind donation by Boeing employees like Ramey.
The crew, most of whom are from Washington state, were eager to tackle this kind of assignment. It's a happier job than, say, the more typical work of rescuing an aircraft that's gone off the end of a runway.
"I've been in the industry for 20 years and I don't think anyone in this group had done this before," said Tom Conant, a Boeing ground team captain.
Even after breaking down the mammoth aircraft, the move across the Clear Lake area will be an arduous, two-night affair.
During the first night, the 1,000-foot trailer convoy will move from Ellington down Highway 3 to NASA Road 1. On the second night, it will proceed along NASA Road 1 to Space Center Houston.
Working with area municipalities as well as Comcast, Verizon and Centerpoint Energy, the museum was able to ensure that no area residents will lose services.
While the move will occur at night to minimize traffic disruptions, as parts of Highway 3 and NASA Road 1 will be closed, it should nonetheless be a public spectacle and there will be viewing locations along the way.
Although it may seem audacious to plant a shuttle atop an aircraft, this combination actually weighed less than a fully booked 747 with passengers and their luggage.
Built in 1970, NASA 905 was one of the first 100 aircraft in Boeing's 747 line, of which there have now been 1,500 made. NASA acquired the plane from American Airlines in 1974 and began testing it with space shuttle Enterprise -- which never flew into space -- in 1977.
In addition to carrying the active orbiters across the country, the aircraft also once carried Enterprise to Europe for display in England and at the Paris Air Show.
It was also the aircraft that carried Enterprise and the operational shuttles Discovery and Endeavour to their retirement homes in New York, Dulles Airport near Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles, respectively.
NASA 905 made its last flight in December 2012. Now the grounded aircraft has but one trip before a final retirement.

Seven years ago, while at the top of her game, Jennifer Knapp announced what seemed to many a sudden decision: She was stepping away from Christian music, taking an indefinite hiatus. Rumors began to swirl—she was burned out, she needed a rest, she was upset about something, she was gay. Turns out that all the rumors were true, as Knapp reveals in this rambling, exclusive interview with Christianity Today. The one-time Grammy nominee ended her hiatus in late 2009 with a few small shows, an updated website, and an announcement that she was writing new songs. Many of those songs will be featured on Letting Go, releasing May 11, her first album since 2001's The Way I Am.
In one of her first extensive interviews since announcing her comeback, Knapp, 36, talks to CT about why she quit music in the first place, her lifestyle choice, her rekindled passion for songwriting, her faith, her new album, and more.
You announced your "hiatus" in 2003. Was that a sudden decision, or was it boiling for a while?
Jennifer Knapp: It was boiling for me. I think people thought I just fell into a hole and disappeared, but I had been trying to get out of being on the road 250 days a year. Lay It Down was a 2000 release, and The Way I Am was 2001; those records were literally back to back, and I was touring while recording The Way I Am. I was telling people "Man, I can't keep up the schedule. This is just a little bit crazy." I didn't have any space to just be a normal human being. I finally realized nobody was going to make that decision for me, so I just said, "I'm not kidding. I need a break, and it starts now."
That decision came mid-2001, but my schedule didn't allow me to stop until September 2002, when I did my last show; I basically still ...1

Bluetounge Virus (BTV)
Bluetongue, or catarrhal fever, is caused by a double-stranded RNA virus of the genus Orbivirus and family Reoviridae. It is a noncontagious disease transmitted by insects to wild and domesticated ruminants, especially sheep.
Seven or eight days after infection, sheep develop acute signs—high temperature, lethargy, and self-isolation from the herd. Shortly after the rise in temperature, the buccal mucosa becomes red and swollen, and large volumes of foamy saliva are produced. The tongue swells up and in some cases turns blue (hence the name of the disease). The crown of the unguis becomes red and painful. Affected animals can limp and ewes may abort. In most cases, growth is retarded and there is coat loss. Severely affected sheep may die eight to 10 days into the infection.
In cattle and goats, the infection is usually asymptomatic. When there are signs in cattle, the most common are hyperthermia, abortion towards the end of gestation (in the eighth month), edema (of the udders, teats, vulva, and hocks), and erythema (mucosa, teats, and udders).
The spread of BTV
Bluetongue was first reported in 1876 in South Africa. While it used to be believed that is was confined to Africa, over the last 10 years the disease has spread to Asia, the southern United States, Australia, and southern Europe. A total of 24 different serotypes of the bluetongue virus are known, of which eight have been reported in Europe (serotypes 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11, and 16).

Border Disease (BD)Top
The BVD virus is a small, single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the genus Pestivirus. Two other animal viruses belong to this genus, namely the viruses that cause border disease (BD) in sheep and classical swine fever (CSF) in pigs.The virus that causes bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) was first identified in 1946. The disease is found throughout the world and its prevalence among animals exposed to the virus ranges from 30–80% in different countries and regions.
BVD impacts fertility in the herd
The infection compromises the herd's fertility and induces the return of heat following death of the embryo when the cow is infected between the first and second months of gestation. Abortion and birth defects are possible throughout gestation.
BVD-PI animals serve as a reservoir of infection
A common consequence of prenatal infection by members of this viral genus is the birth of infected offspring that are permanently immunotolerant (BVD-persistent infection (BVD-PI)), which disseminate the virus throughout the herd. BVD-PI animals (i.e., those infected between the second and the fourth months of gestation) carry the virus throughout their lifetime and constantly secrete large numbers of viral particles. This group therefore constitutes a major source of infection for the rest of the herd. In addition, BVD-PI animals sooner or later develop the fatal form of BVD called mucosal disease (MD). The number of BVD-PI animals in an infected herd is of the order of 1% (although the percentage can be as high as 27%) and detecting them is primordial in the control of Pestivirus disease.

In ruminants, chlamydiosis is a contagious disease caused by a bacterium that also infects birds and humans. It can cause abortion, premature delivery, pneumonia, conjunctivitis, and arthritis in ruminants. The infection can be transmitted to the newborn, young, or adult ruminant by the large numbers of bacteria excreted in fetal envelopes and fluids, feces, urine, and milk, although the main route of infection is via the inhalation of contaminated aerosols. Chlamydia taxonomy was revised by Everett in 1999. In the new classification, the species are divided between two main genera:
- The genus Chlamydia, which includes C. trachomatis (humans), C. suis (pigs), and C. muridarum (mice and hamsters)
- The genus Chlamydophila, which consists of six species, namely Cp. abortus (mammals), Cp. psittaci (birds), Cp. felis (cats), Cp. caviae (guinea pigs), Cp. pecorum (mammals), and Cp. pneumoniae (humans)
In ruminants, two species have been identified: Cp. abortus (which causes abortion) and Cp. pecorum (which causes asymptomatic gut infection, pneumonia, conjunctivitis, arthritis, abortion, and infertility). In pregnant women, C. abortus can also induce abortion with serious complications.

Q feverTop
Q (Query) fever is an ubiquitous zoonosis that is found throughout the world (apart from New Zealand). It is caused by Coxiella burnetii, an obligate intracellular bacterium that can infect many different animal species, including ruminants, dogs, cats, birds, and arthropods as well as humans. In ruminants (which are believed to be the main reservoir for human infection), the disease is mainly associated with reproductive dysfunction. It usually remains asymptomatic and is not usually screened for unless an animal has aborted several times or shows reproductive problems. Coxiella burnetii colonizes the placenta and causes premature delivery, low birth weight, and abortion.
Impact of Q fever on humans
The main route of infection in humans is through the inhalation of contaminated aerosols, but pregnant women should not drink unpasteurized milk or consume dairy products made with untreated milk. Q fever often goes unnoticed because it can be mistaken for an influenza-like syndrome. The consequences can be dramatic in pregnant women (abortion or premature delivery) and in immunodeficient subjects or patients with valvular heart disease.

Neospora caninum is a protozoan parasite first observed in dogs, in which it causes myositis and encephalitis. However, in the 1990s it was observed that Neospora was a major cause of abortion in cows, usually between the fourth and seventh months of gestation. Depending on the number of infected cows in the herd, the abortion rate ranges from 5–30%; the higher rates are characterized by serial abortions occurring in less than a month.
It is not fully understood how the parasite is transmitted, but the main route seems to be from mother to offspring, with at least 80% of the calves born to seropositive cows infected. In addition, it has been suggested that dogs may be involved in the transmission of Neospora to bovines. This infection is known on all continents and is the leading cause of bovine abortion in some countries (ahead of BVD and IBR).

Paratuberculosis (Johne's disease)Top
Paratuberculosis (paraTB) is a chronic, contagious infection caused by Mycobacterium avium sub. paratuberculosis (MAP), which belongs to the same family as the causative agent of tuberculosis. This incurable disease affects bovines, caprines, and other wild and domesticated ruminants.
Mycobacterium paratuberculosis is particularly hardy and is excreted in great numbers in the feces of infected animals. Infection occurs early in life through the ingestion of feed, water, or maternal milk contaminated with fecal material. The disease is highly complex and depends on many factors. How the disease will progress depends on the resistance of the bacillus, the rate of its excretion into the environment, latent phases, and antibody responses (which are sometimes delayed).
The signs—chronic inflammation of the intestine, mesenteric lymph node lesions, diarrhea, weight loss, and edema—usually appear in animals of over two years of age with an advanced stage of the disease.
Removing infected animals is key to controlling the spread
Control of paraTB depends on identifying and removing infected animals: the main diagnostic tools are PCR and ELISA tests, as well as stool culture.

Maedi-visna VirusTop
Caprine arthritis-encephalitis virus (CAEV) and maedi-visna are lentiviruses belonging to the Retroviridae family. These viruses lead to persistent infections.
CAEV and maedi-visna are closely related viruses. Although documented cases of interspecies transmission are rare, CAEV can infect sheep and maedi-visna–infected goats. Young animals (lambs or kids) become infected at a very early age, through colostrum or milk during suckling, and respiratory secretions from infected animals. As permanent carriers, they are then capable of transmitting the virus to the rest of the flock or herd throughout their lives.
CAEV is a disease of goats and is associated with the following clinical signs: arthritis and mastitis in adults, and encephalitis in young animals. Maedi-visna is a disease of sheep associated with the following clinical signs: respiratory difficulties or dyspnea, arthritis, and emaciation. In addition, some sheep develop lesions of varying severity in the lungs and udder.
Whereas ovine lentiviruses have been identified in the majority of sheep-farming countries in the world (with the exception of Australia and New Zealand), CAEV is more widespread in industrialized countries.
Disease-free status requires serological testing
Clinical signs are expressed in only a proportion of the animals testing seropositive (9–38%, according to published studies).To certify sheep and goat farms are free of these diseases, confirmation by serological testing is necessary.
Regulatory requirements vary by country; products may not be available in your geographic area.
Neonatal GastroenteritisTop
Diarrhea is a major cause of death in calves and other young ruminants. This form of neonatal gastroenteritis is caused by ingested microorganisms that reach the gut. Many different microorganisms can cause neonatal diarrhea, including viruses (rotavirus, coronavirus), bacteria (Salmonella, enterotoxinogenic Escherichia coli K99), and protozoa (Cryptosporidium parvum, coccidia).
Viral infection often paves the way for bacterial superinfection, which exacerbates the problem and prejudices the outcome. The first signs of diarrhea are loss of appetite, abdominal retraction and tightness, and lethargy. In animals, diarrhea can quickly lead to dehydration followed by paralysis, circulatory failure, and death.
Laboratory testing needed for diagnosis
The causative agent of calf diarrhea cannot be identified on the basis of the symptoms alone; laboratory testing is required. The best prophylaxis against neonatal diarrhea is to ensure that the calf is given an adequate dose of colostrum as soon as possible after delivery.

Ovine Herpesvirus Type 2 (Gangrenous Coryza)Top
Gangrenous coryza is a disease of large ruminants and pigs, characterized by high fever and usually fatal. Gangrenous coryza is caused by a virus belonging to the genus Rhadinovirus (of the Herpesviridae family), specifically, one of two different gamma-herpesviruses. The natural host of Alcelaphine herpesvirus 1 (AIHV-1) is the wildebeest, in which the infection is silent. The disease appears in various parts of Africa and in a wide variety of ruminant species in zoological parks. Ovine herpesvirus 2 (OvHV-2) is prevalent in all races of domesticated sheep, in which it causes a subclinical infection.
Found in most parts of the world, the disease's clinical manifestations can vary enormously, from an acute form with mild symptoms to a more typical form with high fever, erosive ulceration of the gastrointestinal mucosa, keratoconjunctivitis with corneal opacity, and copious ocular and nasal discharge.
Regulatory requirements vary by country; products may not be available in your geographic area.
Schmallenberg VirusTop
The Schmallenberg virus belongs to the Bunyaviridae family, genus Orthobunyaviridae and is closely related to Akabane, Aino, and Shamonda viruses. This virus was first identified in November 2011 in Germany. It was found in several samples coming from bovine and ovine hosts showing atypical symptoms, not characteristic of known diseases at the time.
This virus induces weak clinical symptoms affecting the global health of the animal, such as hyperthermia, loss of appetite, decreased milk production, and in some cases, diarrhea. Infection of female ruminants during gestation can also result in the birth of malformed animals (e.g., hydrocephalus).
Virus detection is optimally performed using the brain of an aborted fetus, but the virus can also be detected in blood, serum, and the spleen (FLI—German National Reference Laboratory).

As the Black & Gold prepare to face Dayton Dutch Lions FC in the Third Round of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup on Wednesday at Crew Stadium (7:30 p.m. ET / TheCrew.com), here are a few things to know about the Crew's Buckeye State rival.
Origin: Dutch Lions FC was established in 2009 in an effort to bring the famous Dutch youth academy system to the United States. The club's core vision reads: "Dutch Lions FC wants to be a leading institute in the USA for developing professional soccer players. It brings an attractive, dominating style of professional soccer – based on the Dutch philosophy – to the community." The Dutch Lions' USL PRO team began play in the 2010 season coached by former Dutch National Team mainstay Sonny Silooy.
FC Twente: Dutch Lions FC was formed in partnership with FC Twente of the Eredivisie to bring the Dutch youth development model to the United States. FC Twente has boasted players such as Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, Blaise Nkufo, Oguchi Onyewu and Bryan Ruiz in recent years.
Home Stadium: The USL PRO side currently plays its home matches at the Beavercreek High School football stadium.
Coach: Dayton is coached by Dutchman Patrick Bal, in his first season as Head Coach. Bal previously coached in the youth system of Almere City FC in Holland.
Past History: Aside from scrimmages, the Crew and Dutch Lions FC have only met once: underdog Dayton beat the Black & Gold in the Third Round of last year's Open Cup, 2-1.

Pols offer prayers
In the wake of Friday's deadly shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., politicians offered their thoughts and prayers — and some issued new calls for tighter gun control.
Rep. Chris Murphy, who represents the district and was recently elected to the Senate, released a statement: "I am shocked and saddened by the horrific news from Sandy Hook Elementary School this morning, and I pray that kids, teachers, staff and families reach safety as quickly as possible. While we don't have much information right now, our thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones."
Story Continued Below
( PHOTOS: Connecticut school shooting response)
Elizabeth Etsy, who was elected to replace Murphy in the House, also offered her prayers.
"As a mother, I can only begin to imagine what the students, parents, teachers and staff of Sandy Hook Elementary must be experiencing," she said. "My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone impacted by this horrific tragedy. While details are still emerging, I hope for the safety and well-being of the children, teachers and staff at Sandy Hook Elementary and for the Newtown community."
The Associated Press is reporting 26 people, including 20 children, died in the shooting. The killer committed suicide at the school, and another person was found dead at a second scene, bringing the toll to 28, authorities said.
( PHOTOS: Obama's emotional presser)
Connecticut's two senators, Joe Lieberman and Richard Blumenthal, also spoke about the horrific incident.
"Senator's and Hadassah's prayers go out to all those affected by this tragedy today," Lieberman spokeswoman Whitney Phillips wrote in an email. "What is important now is to give the first responders and local authorities the support needed to address the situation as it changes and keep the community of Newtown safe."
Blumenthal tweeted: "My thoughts & prayers are with the Sandy Hook Elementary & #Newtown community on this tragic day. Hoping for safety of students & teachers."
Gov. Dan Malloy's Twitter account reported that the Democratic governor had spoken on the phone with President Barack Obama and that he was in Newtown, where counselors and crisis response staff are on the scene.
House Speaker John Boehner ordered flags at the Capitol to be flown at half-staff.
"The horror of this day seems so unbearable, but we will lock arms and unite as citizens, for that is how Americans rise above unspeakable evil," Boehner said in a statement. "Let us all come together in God's grace to pray for the families of the victims, that they may find some comfort and peace amid such suffering."
But some politicians — mainly liberal Democrats from the Northeast — called for legislative action.
Rep. Chris Van Hollen, a Maryland Democrat, was perhaps the most prominent politician to demand action.
"Today is a day for mourning and prayer, but we must immediately get to work to end these senseless, mass killings of innocent Americans," he said in a statement. "Together, we must act now to stop the carnage."
( Obama: 'We've endured too many of these tragedies')
New Jersey Sen. Frank Lautenberg, a long-time gun control advocate, backed President Barack Obama's call to act regardless of political consequences.
"Americans are sick and tired of these attacks on our children and neighbors and they are sick and tired of nothing being done in Washington to stop the bloodshed," he said in a statement. "If we do not take action to address gun violence, shooting tragedies like this will continue. As President Obama said, we must act now 'regardless of the politics.'"
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has dedicated a portion of his personal fortune to backing gun control supporters in elections, called for Obama and Congress to go beyond rhetoric.

NEWPORT, Maine — When Penobscot County Sheriff's Deputy Garrit McKee went to the Carmel home of Jason A. Tompkins in September 2011, he reportedly found a small black and white border collie lying on the kitchen floor, unable to move.
"He had lost his temper with his dog, Mouse, because it urinated on the floor," the deputy wrote in his report. "He advised he picked the dog up and threw it against the floor."
The dog suffered a concussion and hemorrhaging of the spinal cord, according to a veterinary report done by Dr. Alan Potthoff, a neurology specialist at the Maine Veterinary Referral Center in Scarborough.
McKee charged Tompkins with animal cruelty, but a mix-up in paperwork has delayed the legal process by nearly a year. Tompkins was in Newport District Court on Wednesday and entered a plea of not guilty before Judge Evert Fowle, who continued Tompkins' unsecured $1,500 bond and ordered he have no contact with any domestic animals, including the cat that lives at his mother's house.
The judge also assigned Dale Thistle of Newport as Tompkins' attorney and scheduled a trial for May 15.
The dog, who has been adopted by Penobscot County courthouse maintenance director Tom Duffy and renamed Mickey, sat in a vehicle outside of the courthouse oblivious to the court action going on inside against his former owner, who now lives in Bangor.
"He cannot move his body but with encouragement did voluntarily move and kick with the left rear limb," the vet said in his report about Mickey's injuries.
The dog could not stand on his own and Potthoff wrote that, "if 5-7 days goes by with no significant improvement, it's unlikely he will ever walk again."
The dog was removed from Tompkins' house by a Carmel town employee and taken to the Penobscot Veterinary Clinic in Bangor. Assistant District Attorney Susan Pope, who has three dogs, including one who is blind, then took the dog in and she and her husband nursed him back from the brink of death, Duffy said.
"He couldn't even pick his head up," the dog's new owner said. "The vet said if he didn't respond in seven days he was a goner. He started [responding] at 11 or 12 days."
After the injury, "he dragged himself around by his chin … because he couldn't walk," he said.
To get Mickey back up and walking, Pope and her husband built a device that could suspend the dog and then they both took turns touching his feet to stimulate them, Duffy said.
"She did an amazing job to get him on his feet," he said. "That homemade rig-sling was just high enough to work his legs. She is the one I credit with saving his life."
Assistant District Attorney Jim Aucoin also lent a hand, Pope said about a year ago. She was at Tompkins' Newport court hearing Wednesday morning and was in court that afternoon. Messages left for her were not immediately returned.
Duffy said he has never asked but he's pretty sure that Pope did a background check on him before she allowed him to take the injured dog home in the fall of 2011.
He said he was leaving the courthouse one day and saw Pope walking into the building with the dog — who had to use the wheelchair ramp to get inside the courthouse — and his heart just melted. He turned and followed the two inside.
"Everyone came out and was looking at him," Duffy recalled. "She said she had three dogs and wasn't able to take care of the dog, who needed a lot of attention. I said I'd take him."
Mickey went through 20 sessions each of physical therapy and massage therapy at Veazie Veterinary Clinic over the last year, which cost in excess of $2,250, and nowadays can get around and go up stairs. But he still has a very visible limp.
"He was determined. He had this look on his face [saying], 'I'm going to do this,'" Duffy said of his dog, who spends his days living on a pond in Otis. "This dog was literally lifeless, and now he catches tennis balls. He chases them down and scoops them up. It's amazing."
Mickey keeps improving, and just a few months ago started to bark for the first time. Duffy said he barks when he gets home after work and almost everytime he hears the name Susie Pope.
Even after the injury, Mickey isn't afraid of people. In fact, there are now dog treats sitting on most of the desks inside the courthouse, just in case he comes to visit, Duffy said.
"You would think he would shy away from people, but this dog loves people," he said. "He loves other dogs. He loves everybody. I think when somebody has a near-death experience it changes their life. I think it's the same with Mickey. He's just a happy dog."
Tompkins faces up to a year in jail and a fine of up to $2,000 if convicted of the Class D misdemeanor.

Canadian Police Lobby for Wiretap Changes
CBC News, British Columbia
VANCOUVER - Canadian police chiefs say they want the laws changed to make it easier for officers to access internet and cell phone communications.
Police say the current laws governing phone taps are outdated, and warn that the public will remain at risk until politicians re-write the law.
The president of the Canadian Association of Police Chiefs says the current wiretap law was written in 1974 when police were only intercepting calls on rotary phones.
"Those who decide to prey on society – whether they be terrorists, those who move child pornography across borders within our country and across to other countries – use technology that police are unable to lawfully access," says Cape Breton Chief Edgar MacLeod.
MacLeod says police want a new law that would force internet and cell phone companies to save data.
And it would also force them to provide free access to police when a search warrant is granted. Currently, the companies are billing police departments for the service.
The federal government – which is considering a major revamping of its Lawful Access laws – recently sought submissions on what sort of changes would be needed.
But Jason Gratle of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association doesn''t feel any changes to the law are necessary.
"What it does is threaten to wipe out one of the last remaining realms of privacy for ordinary Canadians," he says.
Gratle worries about internet wiretaps that would allow police to snoop through huge databases of personal information.
"Local police already have an arsenal of techniques to investigate offences within their mandate," says Gratle. "The police don''t need any more powers."
Police are deliberately vague about what information they''re having problems gathering – saying they don''t want to tip their hand to criminals.
But they say they can assure Canadians that court approval will be required to monitor e-mail, instant messaging and cell phones – that the new law would be about changing procedure, not police powers.

VCH Piercing and Christina Consult
Elayne Angel, Master Piercer and author of The Piercing Bible performs a VCH piercing on a woman with asymmetrical anatomy. She explains and shows exactly where and how to place the piercing and explains pros and cons of alternate placements. She also marks for a Christina piercing and discusses the anatomy and placement at length. The VCH piercing procedure is shown in graphic detail, including placement of the receiving tube.
Elayne Angel, Master Piercer and author of The Piercing Bible performs a triangle piercing. She explains and shows the precise placement behind the clitoral shaft at the base of the hood. Mrs. Angel demonstrates the safe placement and procedure in graphic detail, including tissue manipulation to lift the clitoral shaft, and pierce behind it. Plus she shows her invention of using a widened circular barbell for the jewelry for comfort and safety during healing.
Horizontal Clitoral Hood Piercing
Elayne Angel, Master Piercer and author of The Piercing Bible performs a horizontal clitoral hood piercing. She explains why the piercing will be ornamental only (rather than functional to increase sensation) because of the piercee's build: her hood covers her clitoris. Mrs. Angel demonstrates the safe placement and procedure in graphic detail, including avoiding the clitoral shaft, and her invention of using a widened circular barbell for the jewelry for comfort and safety.
Piercer Elayne Angel shows every detail as she carefully marks and pierces a triangle on an FTM (female-to-male transsexual) whose testosterone-enhanced clitoris/glans is very large and visible. She explains in depth and graphically shows exactly where the triangle should be placed, how she applies the forceps, and pierces, as well as custom-sizes the special jewelry.
Master Piercer Elayne Angel moves north of her usual territory (genital piercings) to honor a request for a large gauge ear cartilage piercing of several millimeters in size.
Bilateral Outer Labia Piercings with Rings
Master Piercer Elayne Angel performs a pair of outer labia piercings on a woman who already has a VCH piercing. You will see her select and mark the placement, clamp and pierce the tissue, and insert the rings--all close-up and in detail.
Three Female Genital Piercings: Fourchette, Triangle, and VCH
Master Piercer Elayne Angel performs 3 genital piercings on the same female client. She demonstrates the placement and procedure for a Fourchette: the female genital piercing she invented (located vertically at the back edge of the vagina). She shows the forceps technique for the Fourchette and Triangle piercings, and the needle receiving tube (NRT) method for the Vertical Clitoral Hood (VCH) piercing.
Lorum Piercing with Aftercare Instructions
Master Piercer Elayne Angel demonstrates the placement and procedure for a Lorum: the male genital piercing she coined the term for (located at the natural juncture of the shaft and the scrotum). She verbally discusses all of the important aftercare information, and uses white tattoo ink to mark on the dark skin of her African-American client, and demonstrates the forceps technique for the piercing.
Male Genital Piercings: Pubic and Frenum
Master Piercer Elayne Angel performs genital piercings on two different male clients. The first gets a 10 gauge pubic piercing with a curved bar. The second is an African-American who gets a frenum piercing (third in a ladder) and she demonstrates the use of white tattoo ink for marking darker skin. You will see close ups of her manipulating the tissue in preparation for the procedure, and the needle penetrate the tissue in both piercings.
VCH Piercing and Discussion on Placement (HD)
In this HD clip, Master Piercer Elayne Angel performs a VCH piercing on a woman. She verbally explains how the optimal jewelry size is determined and discusses different depths of hoods. She manipulates the hood tissue to prepare the area for the tube for the VCH piercing. You can see the tube right through the thin tissue of the hood. The whole procedure is shown right up close and you can view every detail.

I) Intro
A) What is thie FAQ?
Hello and welcome to the ULTIMATE Mega Man guide to the
basics FAQ. I have decided to undertake this and it took a lot
of work. This is version 1.0. I had to sit down and play each
version during spring break (hey, it's not like I don't have a
life, but I had to stay in school for crew practice. What else
did I have to kill time?)
Please flip through it and feel free to comment. If you
know any info off the top of your head that has been omited or is
incorrect, PLEASE feel free to email me and I'll add it in. Let
me tell you the basic format I have used to write this FAQ in.
For each game I will tell:
Release date
Comments and addtions to previous version
Special tricks
Where items can be found
The order for the bosses
(in addition, what weapon you get)
Possible weaknesses for "Dr. Wily" stage bosses
In addition, I will be including password info, but
in a very limited fashion. I.E. Only the best ones, and possible
breakdowns for each password (I know they cracked it for MM2 and
3 on the NES).
I think I covered everything. This is not, I repeat NOT,
a full strategy guide. It is a bare bones FAQ, not a walk through.
Due to the amount of stuff I'm covering, a full strategy guide might
very well get close to a Meg. Instead, this is meant as a simple
reference manual.
B) Who is Mega Man?
Mega Man first hit the home video game screen on the NES in
1987. He was created by Capcom, and the first game had 1 Meg of
memory. Mega Man in his lastest creation (MMX2) has 12, plus a
processing chip called the C4, just to show you how far he's come
since then.
The Story for the NES and GB Mega Man's run along these lines.
One day Dr. Light and Dr. Wily were partners and they made incredible
creations and robots to simplify the lives of humans. But Dr. Wily had
other ambitions (like taking over the world) so one day he reprogrammed
all the original 7 robots (MM1 bosses + Mega Man), But Mega Man was able
to resist that reprogramming and was left alone to fight against the
other 6. Later on we find out that Mega Man was originally a boy/cyborg
named Rock (who had a sister Roll). When Dr. Wily became a threat, he
volunteered to have his body transformed into that of Mega Man, sometimes
also known as the Blue Bomber. Through out each game, Dr. Light (also
known as Dr. Right sometimes) creates new pals and assistants for
Mega Man, the most famous being Rush the dog.
In the SNES Mega Man X stories, we see a grim future time line
of the NES Mega Man, in which Mega Man's technology has been put to use
in many places, but some robots, known as Mavericks, want to take over
the world and use humans for slaves because they feel they are superior.
Mega Man (X) must go and stop these Mavericks (under the leadership of
Sigma). Along the way he must find capcules that contain holographic
images of Dr. Light. The contain power ups that make Mega Man stronger,
possibly the strongest robot the world has ever known. Mega Man is
considered a Robot Cop, and he has a fellow cop named Zero. Zero
sacrifices himself in MMX1 to help Mega Man, and this becomes a sub
plot in MMX2.
The layouts stay fairly constant within each system. On the
NES, you fight 8 (only 6 in MM1) robots and the go through the Dr.
Wily stages to beat the game. In the GB you fight 4 robots first,
then another 4 again, then the Dr. Wily stages. (The GB carts tend to
be the hardest of all the versions. Ridiculous jumps and so forth).
The SNES versions are more like the NES versions so far, 8 robots
then the Sigma stages.
A) Mega Man 1 - 1987
- The very first one!
- The ONLY version to keep score (except for Soccer
of course)
- The only version with on-screen pause (press Select)
- The only version with just 6 bosses
- The only version without passwords
- Lets you fight through the Dr. Wily stages over and
- Stages are revisitable.
Special Tricks - Pausing the game when a hit registers, and
unpausing results in multiple hits with the Cutman Blade
and the Elecman Beam. By pressing start rapidly, you can
score tons of hits on one shot. This works best on Rock
Man (cyclops) and Dr. Wily. It CAN work against you too
if you've been hit at the same time.
Items: Magnet Beam - found in the ElecMan stage in plain sight
behind blocks which can be destroyed by the
Elecman beam, or thrown with Gutsman's power.
Shoots, ledges which may be stood on for a
short time.
Yashishi - Only one in any Mega Man game, found on the
4th Dr. Wily stage, below the first teleporter.
Gives back all weapons and health.
Start With: Bombman - Weakness: Fire Storm. Get Bombs
Press Select to pause the game, then upause to
eliminate the annoying sound effects made by
the moving platforms.
Gutsman - Weakness: Bomb. Get throwing power.
Cutman - Weakness: 2 Gutsman throw blocks in his room
Get Cutman boomerang Blade
Elecman - Weakness: Cutman Blades. Get three way
Elecman Beam
Iceman - Weakness: Elecman Beams. Get Ice Slasher
FireMan - Weakness: Ice Slasher. Get the Fire Storm
and force feild
Dr. Wily: Stage 1: Rock Man (Cyclops) - use Elecman Beam (and
the trick if you want an easy way out)
Stage 2: Fight: Cutman, Fireman
Mega Man Clone - Go to far wall, and jump
and shoot a lot. Any weapon you use, he
will use right back at you.
Stage 3: Bubble Machine - Kill first 3 with normal
gun, and use the four blocks with Gutsman
on the last 4.
Stage 4: Fight: Bombman, Fireman, Iceman, Gutsman
Dr. Wily - use ElecMan beam on first half,
use Cutman Blade on second half. (once
again, the trick works well)
B) Mega Man 2 - 1988
- The first version with Passwords
- The first version with 8 bosses.
- The first version with Energy Tanks (4 max)
- The ONLY version with a difficulty selection
(which IMO, they should have done more often)
On Difficult, Weapons do less damage, enemies hurt
more, and power ups are less frequent. All numbers
here refer to Difficult mode.
- stages not revisitable
- Most varied boss strategy (I will list my favorite)
Special Tricks - By pressing pause, in the middle of a jump,
you reset Mega Man's velocity (down). By pressing rapidly
pause at the height of the jump, you can coast back down
over long gaps. ALSO, this makes Mega Man "phase out" for
a moment. Continuously phasing out allow many bullets to
fly through you.
- Ultimate 1-ups. In Stage 1 of the Dr. Wily
levels, use the Leaf Sheild at just the right spot at the
part of the level where those screws jump out (after you
use Item 3 or 1 for the first time). If you stand at just
the right point, you'll get 1-up after 1-up.
- Birds! When you select a boss to go to, hold
down the A button and the stars in the background will be
birds flying at different rates.
Items: Item 1 - Floating Elevator, won from Heatman
Item 2 - Jet Sled, won from Airman. Will keep going
until energy runs out or it hits a wall.
Item 3 - Wall Climber, won from Flashman.
Start With: Metal Man - Weakness: Metal Blade (this is not a typo)
win Metal Blade. Does not use up much
power, and may be fired in 8 directions
Bubble Man - Weakness: Metal Blade. Get Bubble Lead.
Also does not use much power.
Heat Man - Weakness: Bubbles. Get Atomic Fire. Can be
powered up to three different levels.
Flash Man - Weakness: Metal Blade. Get Time Stopper.
This weapon is capable of stopping the killer
beams in the Quick Man stage. It can't
be stopped until it runs out of energy.
Quick Man - Weakness: Time Stopper and finish off the
last half of his energy with the Heat
Wave. Get the Quick Boomerang, low power
usage, and fires up to three at a time.
Air Man - Weakness: Leaf Shield (Quick Boomerang works
bvery well though...), get Air Shooter, three
way firing.
Crash Man - Weakness: Tornados. Get Crash Bombs, capable
of breaking through barriers. Full power
lets you fire off 7.
Wood Man - Weakness: use Crash Bombs on him when the
sheild is up, Heat Wave when it's off. Get
Leaf Sheilds. Lasts forever until you move.
Can fire off in 8 directions.
Dr. Wily: Stage 1: Dragon - Use Quick Boomerang (alternate
between the top and middle block)
Stage 2: Gutsdozer - Use Quick Boomerang
Stage 3: Drones - Use Bubble Lead
Stage 4: Force Cannons - Use Crash Bombs. You only
have 7, so only shoot the two walls you
HAVE to destroy if you don't want to have to
start over. If you die, walls will stay gone
but the Cannons will come back. The "phasing
out" trick mentioned above helps a lot here.
Stage 5: Beat all the bosses again.
Dr. Wily - A full blast of Atomic Fire will
destroy the first window. Them aim and use
Metal Blade repetedly.

I use gedit-latex-plugin to edit my LaTeX documents. However, each time I open a .tex or .sty file, an annoying dialog labeled "Choose Master Document" pops up, and unless I select the same file again, gedit doesn't enter "LaTeX mode".
Is there a way to disable this dialog or simply always load "LaTeX mode" when a .tex file is opened?

It is important to recognise the problems women can face when travelling in India and to be aware of what steps can be taken to minimise any risk of danger. While the likelihood of an incident occurring on your trip is very low, below are some things you can do for your safety and peace of mind so you can have the best possible experience during your time in India.
- If not already included in your tour, arrange for an airport arrival transfer or use pre-paid taxis at airports. Avoid late night arrivals or departures where possible. All our drivers will have a sign with our logos on it (as below) to identify them:
To get around the city, take taxis or rickshaws arranged through your hotel rather than hailing them on the street. Sit in the back seat of transport behind the driver. Some cities have special taxi services with women drivers:
Delhi: Meru Eve Cabs (44224422), Sakha (99991 93004), GCabs (39423942)
Mumbai: Priyadarshini Taxi Services (43333999), Viira Cab (6120 6120)
Chennai: Go for Pink (64581111)
Trivandrum/Kochi: Shetaxi (859 0000 543)
- If taking public transport, avoid travelling alone or at night and ride in the women's carriages on the Delhi, Chennai and Mumbai metros.
- Ask a male travel companion from your group to accompany you if you need to leave your compartment on overnight trains (i.e. going to the bathroom). Where possible, we will allocate female group members an upper bunk and will not separate female travellers from the rest of the group.
- Take a hotel card with you when going out so you know the address and contact numbers.
- If there is a phone in your room, check that it works. Make sure you know your leader's room number and how to dial it.
- Lock your door when you are inside your room and do not open it to anyone you don't know. If hotel staff need access to your room for any reason, request that they do this while you are out, or wait at reception while they attend to any cleaning or repairs. For the protection of both our travellers and staff, our leaders worldwide are not permitted to be alone in a room with a group member.
- Inform your leader and reception immediately if you notice any doors or windows in your room open or broken; do not enter if they are. Likewise, if you notice any hotel staff acting suspiciously or making your feel uncomfortable, go to your leader or one of your group members so you are not alone.
- Avoid discussing where you are staying when out in public or sharing too many details of your travel plans with people you meet.
- Always act confidently. Walk with purpose. Be assertive and don't be afraid to say no loudly and sharply in any situation where you feel uncomfortable or in danger.
- Shop in areas that are busy, well lit and popular. Avoid going into back rooms of shops where you can't see the street, including when trying on clothes.
- It is rare to see a local woman talking to men she doesn't know unless she is with her husband. Strike up conversations with women when travelling to meet locals and be aware that being seen to be too friendly (including 'conversational' touching while talking) with local men at tourist sights or hotel staff can easily be misinterpreted.
- Explore during the day. Be back in the hotel by nightfall, or ensure that you are not going to need to travel back alone after dark.
- India is a conservative country. Dress modestly by covering your legs and shoulders and wearing looser fitting clothes. Wear shorts and t-shirt over your swim wear if swimming.
- Indian women rarely drink in public. Only drink in the company of others from your group and don't accept alcohol from strangers.
- Don't do anything you wouldn't do at home. Open yourself up to new experiences, but with caution and an awareness of the culture you are in.
