Reviews for Prozac to treat Depression
"I am a different person when I'm on this, and in a good way. It helps me keep stable. The first time I was on it, I got really sick and felt terrible. I tried it again on a lower dose and built my way up and now I'm doing well on it!"

"after about 3 weeks on prozac, or as I like to call it CRAPZAC. I was more depressed than ever before. Before crapzac I had only considered suicide a few times, But after my 4th week I actually attempted it. Thankfully my sister found me and brought me to the hospital, where they asked if i had been on any medication, and ordered me to stop taking it. And I was trapped at the hospital in the psych ward for 9 days, having 2 sessions with the counsellor every day, strapped down to my bed for the first few days, and not allowed to use the bathroom for 2 days, this stuff made my life into a living hell. After being released, I have now started seeing a therapist and now I've been practicing yoga and meditation, with no meds, and I feel great"

"It has really helped my depression. I used to cry a lot, not want to do anything. I'm much calmer about stressful things & less irritable. I thank God for this medication & the who started me on my meds!"

"Admittedly, when I started Prozac and up until I stopped taking it, I was not very honest with my therapist on my emotional state, so I never changed medication despite it's lack of effect on me. I was taking it to help with my depression and anxiety, and it didn't help with either. It didn't have any negative effects on me, but it didn't have any positive effects either. I had started at 10 mg, went up to 20 mg, and finally 40 mg. For each one, it seemed to help at first but wouldn't after around two weeks. Although it wasn't right for me, I know that it's been quite helpful to friends of mine and it wouldn't hurt to try it out yourself."

"I was first put on wellbutrin at 300mg then 450mg but that kept me up and I really wasn't feeling much of a difference. The doctor added Prozac 20mg. For the first 3 days I could sleep. After that if feels like I'm coming off a caffeine high as I get very tired but I never experience a high in energy. I get hot flashes and sweat about 25-30mins after taking it but then it goes away. I yawn all the time. Another thing I've noticed since I've been on it was decreased sexual mood and ejaculation feels weird, just weird. I'm not emotionless but sadness, depression and anger seem to not be present. Decreased appetite and lost a little weight. No other side effects experience."

"I'm on week 6 of Prozac and it saved my life. I went through a semester of major life changes (engagement, graduation, moving across country, major weight gain from stress, living with fiancee's parents, and stopped being able to see my friends) which resulted in me becoming severely depressed. I've NEVER been depressed in my life I'm the most bubbly person ever. Well when I started to get into a deep black hole and also having suicidal ideation (never had before) I decided to go to the doctor. She started me on 10mg for 4 weeks and with some change (75% better) we decided to try 20mg for 100%. I'm only on week 6 of being on prozac all together and it saved my life, my relationship and my joy. PLEASE give it time. I'm praying for you all!"

"For me, Prozac was unfortunately not so much of a success. I didn't feel worse but I didn't feel great either. I started taking it in Oct 2016 with a dose of 10 mg, then upped to 20mg and eventually to 40 mg. So really I changed doses 3 times in 3 months. (Which is probably not the best since you don't get to get use to the drug.) but anyways I wasn't feeling any better. Still felt down and very depressed. My psychiatrist has officially switched me to Venlafaxine (which I'm afraid of, since the reviews of that drugs aren't all positives). I have to say, while on the Prozac, sometimes I felt good but the majority of the time, I felt very depressed (not because of the drug). My side effects were fatigue and diarrhea."

"Before I was on Prozac,I would just feel sad all the time..I had been feeling like crying alot,and just in this constant depressive state. One day,I went to the doctor's office..I broke down, almost cried and told the doctor what was going on. He was so understanding,and said he was gonna start me on an antidepressant. So after having been on Prozac 20mg going on my 2nd week, I feel so much better. I'm more positive ,I don't get into hardly any depressive modes anymore ,and it feels like I finally have my life back. Plus the doctor added in a daily dose of .05 mg of Ativan to help ease with the panic attacks. I feel so much calmer, happier, and I'm able to function better at work. The combination of Prozac and Ativan works wonders for me:)"

"Been suffering from depression most of my life. I've been on Zoloft and Lexapro. I would change when one seemed to stop working so went to Prozac. BIG mistake. See the side effects? I had almost every one of them. Doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong till my wife showed them the side effects. Almost died Lost 25# in about 3 weeks. Will never go back to it but who knows it might work for you just didn't for me"

"This medication made me yawn frequently. After two months, I didn't notice any improvement in my mood but my jaw was killing me from yawning and clenching my teeth which I don't normally do. My friends and family also pointed out that I seemed more irritable and more likely to snap or be short tempered."

"I started taking anti depressant after my grandchild died. He was 3 years old and it changed my world. I had so much anxiety over people and I was just so sad and angry all of the time. I stated celexa and I loved how it just shut off the bad. Eventually it was increased and I couldn't stay awake for anything. I got switched to prozac about a month ago. At first I felt very irritable but thats gotten better and now I feel better overall. No more trying to sleep all day and the crazy switch is still flipped to off"

"I was on this medication for over 14 weeks and it made me into an unemotional zombie. My grandma literally passed away in front of me and I couldnt even shed a tear. It helped get me moving around more but, it wasnt really helping my depression. I wasnt happy at all and my anhedonia still persisted. Also, on top of all that Prozac made me lose my libido/sex drive even after I stopped taking it over 6 weeks ago. Im scared my libido/sex drive is never going to come back. This is why I only rated this drug a 1."

"This is a great medicine. I switched to this after taking lexapro and having some difficult-to-manage side effects. I did not have any side effects at all on Prozac in the beginning. I have noticed that recently I have more of an appetite. I monitor what I eat so I haven't gained weight but it is more of a challenge. My sister is also on the same dose but has not had the hunger side effect."

"At first it made me feel really sick constantly and have stomach aches but after 2 weeks it started to help me cope with my anxiety and depression waaay better. I wanna make it clear I wasnt looking for a cure when I started taking prozac, but just a way to better manage my feelings because I dont think I will ever be cured since Ive been chronically depressed my whole life. And it does really help me manage way better, I still have depressive episodes tho, but I dont break down crying easily or feel anxious all the time and I stopped disassociating."

"Been on Prozac before and worked well. Left it too long before seeking help this time, never felt this bad, extreme anxiety, depression and feelings of doom and obsessive racing thoughts. First week in and making me worse, but this is to be expected I guess. Docs upped them to 30 mg so will see what happens. Cry all morning, wake early sweating and anxious, feel sick, lost a lot of weight. Want my life back"

"six years ago I almost lost my life from an abusive relationship. I am 24 years old now. Luckily I am a survivor of domestic violence. From that traumatic time in my life I have been severely depressed, anxious & have had thoughts of suicide. For the past six years I have been on & off depression medications. Some have worked but the effects were too extreme. I tried Effexor but didn't like it too much and the withdrawal was terrible. Then I tried to work things out without medication and was doing good for a while but became very depressed/gained weight and so decided to give medications a try again. Recently started on Prozac (10 mg) about a week ago so far the low dose is good for me. I am more positive, exercise daily & new diet."

"This medication was awful. Despite only being 17 at the time so the doctor decided that I would be put on this medication for my depression I knew that there was a chance that this may cause my condition to deteriorate. I saw no improvements with the 10mg so my doctor increased this to 20mg. This is where it all went downhill. I developed full blown Panic disorder as I was having several panic attacks a day so I was unable to go to school. The medication increased my suicidal thoughts to the point where I was not sleeping at night due to constantly thinking of ways to kill myself. One day I nearly did attempt suicide so I had to be assessed by a Psychiatrist who put me on tranquilisers for a week then admitted me to a psychiatric unit."

"I am a recovering opiate addict and alcoholic. I have been sober for five years and extremely grateful. However, I have been diagnosed several times by physicians as having depression. It got so bad about a month ago that I decided to try Prozac 20mg. I have been on Celexa in the past but it made feel disconnected. The Prozac took about three weeks to kick in but it is working wonderfully now for a few days. It is like a switch was flipped and I just feel normal and positive. I do have some of the usual side effects but they are bearable. Everyone is different for sure but I am very pleased with Prozac thus far. If you are trying this medicine, stick with it as it does take a while to have an effect. very grateful!"

"I've been depressed for most of my life but was raised to "tough it out". I am a recovering opioid addict so I am scared to take any medication at all. The last 3 years I've completely withdrawn from any social activities, relationships & have just been doing the bare minimum to get by. Recently my oldest son turned 18 & has severed ties with me. This took me to the lowest low I've ever been & made me suicidal. For the sake of my younger son, I chose to get help. I was put on 20mg of prozac & have been on it for 3 weeks. I wish I would have done this sooner. Through my recovery from opioids, I've learned that pills are not the answer so these combined with counseling is the solution I've needed for a long time. I hope this helps others."

"I have been on several different SSRIs before and haven't seen much improvement. So far, this seems to be the only antidepressant that's worked for me and hasn't given me too many side effects. I was on Luvox, which wasn't helping at all for any of the multiple conditions it was prescribed to treat, and was switched to an equivalent dose of Prozac. Ever since starting it, I've had more energy and have been able to smile, laugh, and overall just feel like a normal person. For me, in combination with Seroquel, Adderall (for ADHD, but also gives what I take for depression a little boost), and Wellbutrin, this is a wonder drug. It still helps me get through every day after quite a few months on it. Couldn't say the same about other SSRIs."

"My nurse practioner kept insisting I try Prozac along with Olanzapine for my severe bipolar depression because it was the gold standard (supposedly they work good together). So, I ended up taking Prozac all the way up to 60 mg for over 12 weeks (along with Carbamazepine, Olanzapine & now Saphris) and I only got a partial response to the medicine. It helped get me functioning again but I wasnt happy. I still didnt enjoy the things I loved doing. For example, I would try listening to music or play video games but it wouldnt do anything for me. The euphoria was kind of missing. I know 80 mg is the max dosage but I shouldnt have to be on the max dosage or go beyond it to get a desired effect. Oh, and I lost my sex drive on Prozac too! Grr!"

"My dr started me on 20mg once daily.After a few months with no improvement he raised it to 40mgs.After about 2 weeks at this dose the depression subsided some and also my anxiety as I found myself reaching for my Xanax less and less.However after about 5-6 months the depression and anxiety came back and my doctor told me raising the dose would do no good.So,that being said, if you need an anti-deppressant to get you through a rough patch in your life (divorce,holidays,death of a loved one) this seemed to work very well just after about 6 months I was right back where I started. *Another benefit is it's generic (Fluoxetine) in many stores is only $4 for a month supply.Ive seen some Anti-deppressants cost well over $100 for a month*"

What our members say...
HL7 Version 3 messages use OIDs (Object Identifiers) to identify coding schemes and identification schemes.
OIDS are strings of numbers separated by dots. Each number indicates a branch from in a tree of identifiers. The first set of branches is allocated by ISO and further levels nationally and by other organisations. Therefore OIDs can be allocated by any organisation with a unique OID root from which to allocate branches. Provided each organisation respects the need for uniqueness in its allocation of branches the resulting OID will uniquely identify an object.
The object identified by an OID could be anything. For example, HL7 allocates OIDs for message components as well as coding and identification schemes. However, for the purposes of this page we are primarily concerned with the use of OIDs for identifying two types of object:
For a full list of the types of objects HL7 UK allocates OID for please consult the HL7UK OID management policy.
A single message can use OIDs from various sources and a single scheme can be identified by more than one OID (e.g. by an OID from more than one organisation). Once issued an OID is never withdrawn and always identifies the same scheme or object.
To assist UK projects using HL7 messages that require OIDs for coding and identification schemes HL7 UK has registered OIDs for some coding and identification schemes in widespread use in the NHS.

With steady job creation in January, slow wage growth still puzzles
Our Solman Scale U7 — which in addition to the officially unemployed, includes part-time workers for economic reasons and anyone who wants a job, no matter the last time he or she looked — ticked up to 11.6 percent from 11.3 percent.
READ MORE: The economy is steadily improving, but wages aren't. Could unions be the answer?
The increase our Solman Scale U7 and in the unemployment rate was the result of more people entering the labor force, looking for work. The only issue is that they haven't all found work yet, notes economist Elise Gould of the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute.
There should be an embedded item here. Please visit the original post to view it.
Overall, January's jobs report was solid and exhibited some recognizable characteristics.
"We're seeing familiar themes — steady job creation and the 'Is that all there is?' question when it comes to workers' pay," said Mark Hamrick, Bankrate's senior economic analyst.
After a .06 cent increase in December, wages increased a mere .03 cents in January.
"The very small wage increase was a surprise, especially because the minimum wage increases were expected to boost average hourly earnings," said economist Jed Kolko of Indeed.com, referring to the minimum wage increases that went into effect in 2017 in 19 states across the nation.
As we've discussed before, wages have been the puzzle of the U.S. economy, or as Douglas Holtz-Eakin of the conservative American Action Forum called it last month, the "Achilles heel of [Obama's] tenure."
Economists generally expect wages to rise once the economy has hit full employment — that is, an unemployment rate at or below 5 percent. With a lower unemployment rate, workers become harder to come by, and employers have to offer more money to retain and attract talent. That's the idea at least, but we're not seeing that happen today.
Over the year, average hourly earnings rose by a mere 2.5 percent. What would economists like to see? Growth between 3.5 and 4 percent, said Hamrick.
There should be an embedded item here. Please visit the original post to view it.
Wage growth "has been the unfinished work of this economic recovery," said Hamrick. "It helps to explain the remaining level of dissatisfaction among Americans with the economy."
While it's hard to know exactly what's going on with average hourly earnings, "it's possible that there is more slack in the workforce than what is widely acknowledged," said Hamrick. Pointing to the 584,000 people entering the labor force in January, Hamrick noted that there may be more people on the sidelines waiting to jump back into the labor force once they think their job prospects have improved.
The retail trade, financial activities and construction industries all saw increases in employment in January, with construction job gains catching the eye of many economists.
The industry, which suffered major losses after the housing bubble burst, has been steadily recovering. And in January, construction jobs grew by 36,000 — nearly triple the amount from the previous month, said Hamrick.

Most of the increases have been in residential construction, said Kolko, noting that there has been an increase in home building.
"The American dream of owning a single family home hasn't been killed; it's been delayed," said Hamrick.
At least, that's what the construction industry hopes. We'll see whether growth in the industry is sustainable.

A Centralized MAC Protocol with QoS Suport for Wireless LANsAuthors: Orfanos, Georgios and Mirkovic, Jelena and Walke, Bernhard and Emmadi, Sunil KumarDepartment of Communication Networks (ComNets), Faculty 6, RWTH Aachen University Contact: Jelena Mirkovic In Proceedings of International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (PIRMC) 2007, p. 5, Athens, Greece,IEEE Communication Society, 2007. Publication Date: Sep, 2007 On page(s):5 ISBN: 1-4244-1144-0 |
Abstract Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) are widely used in homes and offices, as well as in public places, mainly as the last mile of an Internet connection, but also as an interconnection between different devices. This extensive usage of WLANs, with the need of modern applications (such as Voice over IP) for high throughput and low transmission delays, impose the necessity for efficient protocols with Quality of Service (QoS) support. In previous work, the ability of Multi Carrier-Code Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA) based Medium Access Control (MAC) protocols to achieve high efficiency has been demonstrated. This paper presents a MAC protocol, based on MC-CDMA that uses an Access Point (AP) to centrally control the network and provide QoS support. Extensive simulation results and a comparison with the standard IEEE 802.11e prove the efficiency of the proposed protocol. |

Whitening Failure - San Antonio, TX
I had my teeth whitened at the dentist. It was very uncomfortable. When I looked in the mirror when it was over I could have cried. There was no difference at all.

The interplay between localized surface plasmon (LSP) and surface plasmon-polariton (SPP) is studied in detail in a system composed of a three-dimensional gold particle located at a short distance from a gold thin film. Important frequency shifts of the LSP associated with the particle are observed for spacing distances between 0 and 50 nm. Beyond this distance the LSP and SPP resonances overlap, although some cavity effects between the particle and the film can still be observed. In particular, when the spacing increases the field in the cavity decreases more slowly than one would expect from a simple image dipole interpretation. For short separations the coupling between the particle and the film can produce a dramatic enhancement of the electromagnetic field in the space between them, where the electric field intensity can reach 5000 times that of the illumination field. Several movies show the spectral and time evolutions of the field distribution in the system both in and out of resonance. The character of the different modes excited in the system is studied. They include dipolar and quadrupolar modes, the latter exhibiting essentially a magnetic response.

Wall Street Journal: Cover Equal Pay Day Fairly!
April 12 is Equal Pay Day: it symbolizes how far into 2011 women must work to earn what men did in 2010 in the US. This year on Equal Pay Day, the Paycheck Fairness Act was also reintroduced in the Senate, and media outlets across the nation were covering the wage gap.
The wage gap was recently recalculated by the United States Census Bureau and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, showing that women still earn 77 cents for every dollar that men earn. Then why did the Wall Street Journal choose to run this anti-fair pay Op Ed by Carrie Lukas against fair pay for equal work on their Editorial Page, without at least running a balanced opinion piece along side by anyone on the National Committee on Pay Equity - ON EQUAL PAY DAY!?
Here's what you can do to demand balanced coverage:
1. Submit a Letter to the Editor demanding that fair and balanced opinion pieces on equal pay for women to Tim Lemmer at: email@example.com
2. Sign this petition to Email Editorial Page Editors to demand they run fair and balanced opinion pieces on equal pay for women.
3. Call the Editorial Page Editor demanding fair and balanced opinion pieces on equal pay for women at: 212.416.2255.
Thanks for all you to do ensure media is held accountable to standards of fairness and equity.
Yours in Action,
The Women's Media Center

Awarded a triple Gold Star and nominated as one of The Top 50 Foods in Britain today - the definitive list of the greatest food and drink available from fine food retailers across the UK and Ireland. Like the Royal Merina Chocolate (a 2011 Best Speciality of South East winner) , the Imperial China Chocolate is once again truly spectacular. Marc Demarquette has developed an exclusive methodolgy of preparing a special ganache by "volumising" it to optimise and maximise the flavour of the chocolate.
The Imperial China Chocolates are hand crafted and made with carefully chosen finest Vietnamese, Malagasy and Venezuelan cacaos that complement each other harmoniously. The cacoas are blended with the extraordinary White Monkey Jasmine Tea, resulting in a perfect combination of long lasting cocoa tones and subtle notes of fresh Jasmine. The result is a light and delicately flavoured center with a thin chocolate couverture layer that adds texture and additional cocoa tones for a most delightful chocolate experience.
The Imperial Seal of Emperor KangXi is individually placed on each chocolate with a bespoke design made of pure cocoa butter. The seal depicted on the box is that of Emperor Qianlong who, together with his grandfather - Emperor Kangxi and his father - Emperor Yongzheng, jointly created the last and the most prosperous age of Chinese feudal dynasties, which is called "Kang-Qian Flourishing Age" in history.

You already know that people use Spotify for one main reason: they love music. Using Spotify ads to promote your own music ensures that the people you're advertising to are the people who could actually make a difference. More people listening to your tracks mean more visibility, which ultimately means more money in your pocket.

There are 60 million subscribers to Spotify, 45 million of which use the free, ad-supported service. If you are interested in advertising on Spotify please send us an email at email@example.com.

The humble scrambled egg gets an asian-style makeover that will knock your socks off: Vietnamese scrambled eggs is a true taste revelation. The secret ingredient is fish sauce!
Since I started eating sugar free and low carb, breakfast is the meal that has changed most. Out is the toast with jam, the maple syrup-covered pancake and anything by Kellogg's. Instead of loading up on carbohydrates, I eat more protein and healthy fats, which makes me feel way more alert and satisfied until lunchtime. My two favourite staples now are home-made granola with yoghurt and berries – such as the Peanut Butter Granola – and eggs in all shapes and forms:
- Soft-boiled eggs with asparagus or cheese soldiers,
- Fried eggs – so crispy, so lovely, so messy,
- Scrambled eggs with whatever is in the fridge – spinach, bacon, veggies, chorizo, ham. Or just on their own.
- Poached eggs with avocado on low carb rolls and,
- When I feel fancy: Spinach and Chive Mini Quiches – essentially, scrambled eggs made to look beautiful in a muffin tin.
Now I have a new egg passion, thanks to my friend Wendy: Vietnamese scrambled eggs.
Like she described to me, adding fish sauce to scrambled eggs makes the taste go "off the scale". And oh my, is she right. The saltiness of the fish sauce adds a new dimension to this dish that you have not thought possible. The result is definitely not fishy like you might imagine. It's rich, complex and simply… "oompf". Adding tomatoes for that lovely umami flavour and spring onions plus a little ginger to the mix makes this dish a perfectly quick, easy and protein-rich lunch as well.
The key to achieving the briny richness that is reminiscent of crab is to take your time with the preparation or your Vietnamese scrambled eggs. The spring onions need to be sauteed on low heat, which brings out their sweetness. The beaten egg mixture should also be cooked slowly and moved around gently with a spatula. I don't like my eggs dry – I love the creamy texture they get when you do not rush. I will even pour the leftover raw egg from the bowl into the finished scrambled eggs to soften them further.
Vietnamese scrambled eggs might not be the right thing for everyone at seven o'Clock in the morning; I totally understand that some tastebuds need to be woken gently. That's why would recommend to give this truly incredibly flavour combo a try at sensible time of day once you are ready for a bit of an adventure.
I promise, you'll never look back.
And I shall ask Wendy for more kitchen secrets!
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons of fish sauce
- 1 cm ginger, chopped
- 2 spring onions, cut into rings
- 1 shallot, chopped (optional)
- 6 cherry tomatoes, deseeded and quartered
- black pepper
- oil, for frying
- Gently fry your onions and ginger until softened, but not crispy or blackened.
- Add the deseeded tomatoes (the seeds would make the dish too watery) and cook for 1 minute.
- Whisk the eggs and fish sauce in a bowl and add to the pan.
- On a very low heat, move the mixture around gently until the egg has a creamy consistency.
- Pour over the last bit of raw egg from the bowl - this is too good to waste!
- Enjoy.

Monday, 15 October 2012, Prensa Latina
In an open letter to Clinton, who is arriving today in this country on a two-day visit, the Peruvian women asked the government in Washington to release the five Cubans imprisoned in that country for over 14 years.
After stating that Rene Gonzalez, Ramon Labañino, Antonio Guerrero, Fernando Gonzalez, and Gerardo Hernandez never committed the crimes for which they were charged, the letter stressed their innocence and said they deserve to be released.
The letter consigns a cordial request to Clinton to pay attention to the issue "for its global interest" and is signed by former Education Minister Gloria Helfer, poet Rosina Valcarcel, and visual artists Etna Velarde and Fanny Palacios.
Also on the list are filmmaker Pilar Roca and intellectuals Linda Lema and Nadia Podleskis, among others.
Meanwhile, the Peruvian Committee of Solidarity with Cuba sent a similar letter to the visitor, asking her government to deal with the case of the five Cubans, accused of crimes they never committed.
It refers in particular to the case of Rene Gonzalez, released on October 7, 2011, who must remain on U.S. soil under supervised release. (Prensa Latina).

Q: We've lived near the beach for a year now in an older craftsman apartment. Since the start we had issues with clothing and shoes in our closets getting moldy and we tried products from such as Damprid but recently discovered more mold growing on the back of almost every piece of wood furniture we own. Luckily, we're moving in two weeks. Does anyone have experience removing mold from wood furniture without using bleach?
Also, if we move the cleaned furniture to our new place, do we run the risk of bringing the mold problem with us?

Dhaka – Bangladesh pacer Taskin Ahmed and left-arm spinner Arafat Sunny are expected to arrive at Shahjalal International Airport here from Australia on Sunday night, following tests on their bowling actions after allegations of chucking.Both took the test at an ICC-accredited laboratory that is part of the Brisbane National Cricket Centre in the state of Queensland,UNB News Agency Reported.
They were accompanied by Bangladesh head coach Chandika Hathurusingha during their test, said a Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) source on Saturday.It will take around two weeks to know the results of their bowling action tests. Following the test, the duo spent a couple of days sightseeing around Australia.The result of Taskin's test is particularly important, as he has been included in the Tigers squad for the ODI series against Afghanistan,starting on September 25. He would also be part of the Tigers' plans for the series to follow against England, that starts October 7.Taskin and Sunny were reported for suspect bowling actions during the World T20 championship in India held earlier this year, and were suspended following a test at an ICC-accredited centre in Chennai in March.

Phone has been used years ago and cellular phone technology used is also improved form year to year so that it becomes more and more sophisticated. Therefore, it is always interesting to discuss about the development of technology used on cellular phone. In the past, cellular phone can only be used for calling. Today, almost all activities relate to cellular phone. It shows that the technology used is much more advanced. If you are interested in the technology development, you need to pay attention to the discussion below.
1st Generation (1G) with Analog Basis
Firstly, cellular phone uses 1G that applies analog basis. This is the first generation of cellular phone tech. In this generation, cell phone has big sizes so that it is not portable enough. The function is also very limited. The main function is for calling other people. However, it is also still difficult because not all people have it at that time. Even though the technology is still not as sophisticated as today's technology, it becomes the first time cell phone exists in the world.
Global System Mobile (GSM)
After the first generation, cellular phone technology is improved and there comes 2nd Generation (2G). In this generation, cellular mobile phone applies Global System Mobile technology that is better known as GSM. In this generation, you can send Short Message Service (SMS) from your cell phone to others'. GSM is supported by many operators today. Now, this technology is more and more popular with the better and more sophisticated technology. You can enjoy using this technology and have many options to choose the operator you want.
Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA)
The competitor of GSM is CDMA. This technology requires you to use the operator card that is paired with the mobile phone from the manufacturer. So, you are not allowed to change the operator card into other operators. This limitation makes this technology cannot develop fast in the world. However, this mobile phone technology belongs to one of the histories of technology applied on cell phone. Now, this tech may not be popular anymore because there are many new technologies that are much more sophisticated and offer freedom.
Wireless Technology
Then, wireless technology becomes one of the techs still popular today. Wireless technology is still improved from year to year until now. Wireless technology offers you the easiness in using mobile phone. It does not require you using wire to connect your cell phone to other devices. This cellular phone technology comes in many features. One of the earliest wireless techs is infrared. Besides that, there is also Bluetooth that also belongs to wireless tech. Then, you can also enjoy Wi-Fi that increasingly more popular today. In addition, wireless charger also belongs to the latest wireless techs. There are still some other wireless techs that you can enjoy today such as Radio Frequency, WLAN, WLAN (802.11), etc. Anyway, this cellular phone technology will always be more popular.
3rd Generation (3G) Technology
When the 3rd generation of cellular phone comes, you can use mobile phone for more various functions. In this generation, you can use internet to access many sites from your cell phone. The network offered is higher than Enhance Data-rates for GSM evolution (EDGE). So, the network speed is certainly much faster. With this technology, you can also use your mobile phone for video call. It allows you to communicate to other people from mobile phone with live video. Of course, your communication becomes more fun and enjoyable. Anyway, this modern cell phone tech is still popular today.
4th Generation (4G) Technology
The next cellular phone technology is 4th generation or 4G. It is the development of technology from 3G. Of course, this is much more sophisticated. This technology has been released a few years ago so that it is still booming now. This tech integrates wireless techs that have been existed such as Wireless Broadband, 802.16e, wireless LAN, CDMA, Bluetooth, etc. This technology allows the users to use various systems anytime and anywhere. It also offers high speed, wide network, and flexibility that can accommodate various multimedia apps including online game, video conferencing, etc.
5th Generation (5G) Technology
Today is 4G technology. In the future, you will be offered with the 5th generation technology for mobile phone. However, it is still just a plan. There is no image yet for how it will work. There are many sources say that 5G will be released in 2020. Even though it is still just a plan, there are many benefits that you will get in the future. 5G will come with much faster, smarter, and even need the lower battery compared to 4G. The battery will also be longer life. However, this tech requires smarter mobile phone.
Air Charging Technology
This is also the future technology that will be offered to mobile phone users. This tech is offered by Nokia, one of the biggest communication companies in the world. This sophisticated future technology will use radio waves around us to charge mobile phone. So, it does not need electricity and wire to make mobile phone battery fulfilled fully. So, it will be very interesting if everyone can recharge their mobiles from the air. Anyway, this cellular phone technology will be very useful.
Kinetic Charging Technology
Still related to charging technology, in the future you can also charge your mobile phone using kinetic energy. This tech uses commercial applications for revolutionary mobile battery. It is claimed to be able to provide 300 up to 700 percent higher horsepower than the conventional mobile batteries available today. So, charging mobile phone battery using this technology will be faster and the power will be longer life.
Insane Cell Phone Designs
As the time goes, mobile phone companies will produce cellular phones with insane designs. For example, you will be able to enjoy Motorola Origami where the mobile phone can be folded like origami arts. Besides that, there will also be Softphone where it is made from soft material that is cotton with electronic cellulose. It will also be featured with a small clip that functions to put all the electronic components. One of the benefits of this cellular phone technology is that it has very durable battery.

A gas pipeline feeding Yemen's only liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal was blown up again on Tuesday night, the operating company said, and repair works began immediately after the attack.
"Yemen LNG confirms the sabotage of the 38-inch gas pipeline that links the block 18 to the Balhaf terminal on the Gulf of Aden," the company, run by France's Total, said on Wednesday.
"The explosion occurred at 2200 on Oct. 30, 2012 at 295 km north of Balhaf Liquefaction Plant."
Yemen's oil and gas pipelines have been sabotaged repeatedly since anti-government protests last year created a power vacuum which armed groups exploited, causing fuel shortages and slashing export earnings in the impoverished country.
The 320-km (200-mile) pipeline supplying the $4.5-billion plant has been attacked several times by suspected al Qaeda-linked gunmen after military strikes on Islamist militants.
The Balhaf facility, which opened in 2009, has the capacity to supply up to 6.7 million tonnes and delivers LNG, gas-cooled to liquid for export by ship, under long-term contracts to GDF Suez, Total and Korea Gas Corp.
The official Saba news agency said the state-owned Safer oil company immediately sent technical teams to repair the pipeline.
It said that the Maarib deputy governor for administrative affairs visited the site of the blast to oversee repair works and ordered troops to step up security to guard the pipeline.
The operator did not say when the pipeline might be reopened.

Our Most Recent Catalog
Maritime List 246 – Wintry Mix
February 13, 2017Not much to do in weather like this except shovel snow and catalog books. Thus, another maritime list arrives, this one a little sooner than usual, thanks to the aforementioned weather. And, like the aforementioned weather, this list is a "Wintry Mix" (Accuweather's description for the slop that's coming down outside my window this afternoon). However, unlike the aforesaid Mix, this list is anything but slop. It contains seventy carefully curated and meticulously described titles, representing a mix of used and rare books, ephemera and manuscripts. On second thought, I think I'll go skiing.

Any intentional false communication, either written or spoken, that harms a person's reputation; decreases the respect, regard, or confidence in which a person is held; or induces disparaging, hostile, or disagreeable opinions or feelings against a person.
Defamation may be a criminal or civil charge. It encompasses both written statements, known as libel, and spoken statements, called slander.
The probability that a plaintiff will recover damages in a defamation suit depends largely on whether the plaintiff is a public or private figure in the eyes of the law. The public figure law of defamation was first delineated in new york times v. sullivan, 376 U.S. 254, 84 S. Ct. 710, 11 L. Ed. 2d 686 (1964). In Sullivan, the plaintiff, a police official, claimed that false allegations about him appeared in the New York Times, and sued the newspaper for libel. The Supreme Court balanced the plaintiff's interest in preserving his reputation against the public's interest in freedom of expression in the area of political debate. It held that a public official alleging libel must prove actual malice in order to recover damages. The Court declared that the First Amendment protects open and robust debate on public issues even when such debate includes "vehement, caustic, unpleasantly sharp attacks on government and public officials." A public official or other plaintiff who has voluntarily assumed a position in the public eye must prove that defamatory statements were made with knowledge that they were false or with reckless disregard of whether they were false.
Where the plaintiff in a defamation action is a private citizen who is not in the public eye, the law extends a lesser degree of constitutional protection to defamatory statements. Public figures voluntarily place themselves in a position that invites close scrutiny, whereas private citizens who have not entered public life do not relinquish their interest in protecting their reputation. In addition, public figures have greater access to the means to publicly counteract false statements about them. For these reasons, a private citizen's reputation and privacy interests tend to outweigh free speech considerations and deserve greater protection from the courts. (See Gertz v. Robert Welch, Inc., 418 U.S. 323, 94 S. Ct. 2997, 41 L. Ed. 2d 789 [1974]).
Distinguishing between public and private figures for the purposes of defamation law is sometimes difficult. For an individual to be considered a public figure in all situations, the person's name must be so familiar as to be a household word—for example, Michael Jordan. Because most people do not fit into that category of notoriety, the Court recognized the limited-purpose public figure, who is voluntarily injected into a public controversy and becomes a public figure for a limited range of issues. Limited-purpose public figures, like public figures, have at least temporary access to the means to counteract false statements about them. They also voluntarily place themselves in the public eye and consequently relinquish some of their privacy rights. For these reasons, false statements about limited-purpose public figures that relate to the public controversies in which those figures are involved are not considered defamatory unless they meet the actual-malice test set forth in Sullivan.
Determining who is a limited-purpose public figure can also be problematic. In Time, Inc. v. Firestone, 424 U.S. 448, 96 S. Ct. 958, 47 L. Ed. 2d 154 (1976), the Court held that the plaintiff, a prominent socialite involved in a scandalous Divorce, was not a public figure because her divorce was not a public controversy and because she had not voluntarily involved herself in a public controversy. The Court recognized that the divorce was newsworthy, but drew a distinction between matters of public interest and matters of public controversy. In Hutchinson v. Proxmire, 443 U.S. 111, 99 S. Ct. 2675, 61 L. Ed. 2d 411 (1979), the Court determined that a scientist whose federally supported research was ridiculed as wasteful by Senator William Proxmire was not a limited-purpose public figure because he had not sought public scrutiny in order to influence others on a matter of public controversy, and was not otherwise well-known.

defamation (of character)
n. the act of making untrue statements about another which damages his/her reputation. If the defamatory statement is printed or broadcast over the media it is libel and, if only oral, it is slander. Public figures, including officeholders and candidates have to show that the defamation was made with malicious intent and was not just fair comment. Damages for slander may be limited to actual (special) damages unless there is malice. Some statements such as an accusation of having committed a crime, having a feared disease, or being unable to perform one's occupation are called libel per se or slander and can more easily lead to large money awards in court and even punitive damage recovery by the person harmed. Most states provide for a demand for a printed retraction of defamation and only allow a lawsuit if there is no such admission of error. (See: fair comment)

a form of wrong done by words. A defamatory statement is one that tends to lower the plaintiff in the minds of right-thinking people. In England there is a technical distinction in the law of defamation between libel and slander. Libel refers to a permanent form such as print and slander to a transient form such as speech. Some Australian states have abolished the distinction between slander and libel. In England, but not in Scotland, the statement complained of must be communicated to a person other than the plaintiff The essence, however, is that the statement must be defamatory, as above defined. If it has this special quality, then it is not essential that the plaintiff should prove malice, making the effective onus fall on the defendant. For example, to allege a person is a criminal or behaves immorally is defamatory. To be actionable, the statement must be false, and this is resolved in court by the defendant pleading justification (or veritas in Scotland). The Defamation Act 1952 makes it unnecessary for the defendant to show that every charge is true so long as those that remain false do not materially injure the plaintiff 's reputation. Communication has been established by many means, including film and effigy or by the Internet. It is open to the plaintiff to innuendo a statement, that is, to show that a statement which is not, on the face of it, defamatory, actually has a defamatory meaning. The plaintiff must state in words in his pleadings what this meaning is. A statement in a foreign language always requires an innuendo. Of practical importance are the other defences. Absolute privilege protects certain communications - parliamentary proceedings, judicial proceedings and official communications.The Defamation Act 1996 allows absolute privilege to fair and accurate contemporaneous reports of judicial proceedings in newspapers and in broadcasts. Qualified privilege is more subtle. It protects (subject to the qualification discussed later) statements made in certain circumstances. The categories are not closed, but among those that have been recognized are included statements in pursuance of a duty, in protection of an interest, and fair and accurate reports by any means of proceedings of public and semipublic bodies. Some categories of statement are given qualified privilege and others qualified privilege subject to explanation or contradictions. The qualified nature of qualified privilege is that the maker of the false defamatory statement is protected only if there is not actual malice - in other words, the defence really only takes away the presumption of malice inherent in a defamatory statement. The House of Lords has recognized a form of qualified privilege open to responsible journalism. Fair comment is another frequently used defence, but it depends upon the matter being shown to be a comment on facts truly stated. People are allowed to be most vehement in such comment. It has recently been called honest comment in the House of Lords. It does not forgive false statements. The matter must be one of some public interest.
The Defamation Act 1996 gives a publisher, including, for example, an Internet service provider, a defence where it neither knew nor had reason to know that a statement was defamatory of the person complaining. However, there must be an offer of amends, that is, to publish a correction and apology and to pay such compensation as may be agreed.
DEFAMATION, tort. The speaking slanderous words of a person so as, de bona
fama aliquid detrahere, to hurt his good fame. Vide Slander.
2. In the United States, the remedy for defamation is by an action on
the case, where the words are slanderous.
3. In England, besides the remedy by action, proceedings may be
instituted in the ecclesiastical court for redress of the injury. The
punishment for defamation, in this court, is payment of costs and penance
enjoined at the discretion of the judge. When the slander has been privately
uttered, the penance may be ordered to be performed in a private place; when
publicly uttered, the sentence must be public, as in the church of the
parish of the defamed party, in time of divine service,, and the defamer may
be required publicly to pronounce that by such words, naming them, as set
forth in the sentence, he had defamed the plaintiff, and, therefore, that he
begs pardon, first, of God, and then of the party defamed, for uttering such
words. Clerk's Assist. 225; 3 Burn's Eccl. Law, Defamation, pl. 14; 2 Chit.
