How the Internet of Things will affect consulting engineers
Echelon's Varun Nagaraj answers one-on-one questions, explaining how the Internet of Things can and should be used by engineers.
Consulting-Specifying Engineer (CSE) asked Varun Nagaraj, senior vice president and general manager, Internet of Things at Echelon Corp., for some insights on how the Internet of Things (IoT) will be viewed by consulting engineers
Nagaraj has more than 20 years of high-tech product planning and strategy experience. He holds a BSEE from IIT Bombay, a master's in computer engineering from North Carolina State University, and an MBA from Boston University.
Read his July 2013 article "IP-all-the-way is the way to go."
CSE: How will the Internet of Things directly affect consulting engineers?
Nagaraj: The IoT takes advantage of Internet protocol (IP) as a kind of unifying force, creating bridges among previously parallel or incompatible protocols. As a result, the IoT will both simplify and expand the role of consulting engineers, allowing them to concentrate on higher-level considerations of an application, rather than being restricted to a single set of protocols for any given project.
CSE: How will the IoT directly affect the products and systems that consulting engineers specify?
Nagaraj: When IP is driven to the device level, consulting engineers will be able to focus on specifying products based on their functionality rather than worrying about protocols and communication transport compatibility issues. And because developers can create single products/systems that work with multiple protocols, consulting engineers will have available a wider range of product/system options available to specify for each project they work on.
CSE: Which of the following —lighting, fire/life safety, HVAC, or electrical/power products —do you see moving most quickly into the IoT?
Nagaraj: I would expect lighting to move most quickly into the IoT space, followed by HVAC and fire/life safety.
CSE: Why?
Nagaraj: Economics and emerging regulations will drive widespread adoption of LED lights with controls in commercial buildings and in public spaces. It will be important for the consulting engineer to specify systems that can grow, are not vendor-dependent, and can serve as a platform for other control applications. The use of IP at every level in a lighting system will facilitate these objectives.
CSE: What's the projected growth for products in this fastest-growth area?
Nagaraj: Forecasts can vary widely. For example, IHS, a well-known research firm is forecasting that nearly 50% of the 1B "industrial or commercial" IoT devices installed in 2017 could be lights.
CSE: With regard to building automation systems (BAS) and building management systems (BMS), what future trends do you see?
Nagaraj: I see three trends:
1. A multi-protocol future based on the IP protocol as the unifying layer—not just at the management layer where it is used today, but also at the device of fieldbus level. This will hopefully result in the ending of the counterproductive LonWorks versus BACnet discussion that is so ingrained in our specification world view today. The right answer should be either LonWorks or BACnet—but over IP!
2. The use of big data collection and analysis techniques to identify opportunities for system optimization.
3. A continued use of wired communications even as there is an increasing use of wireless options.
Log in or create an account to submit your comment for this article.
Most of the multitude of incompatible protocols now in use for BAS/BMS purposes carry the same information:From address, To address, Type of data/command and Value. It makes no sense whatever to perpetuate this situation down to the device level, even if all protocols run over IP, for two reasons.
Firstly, either a "universal" device must incorporate hardware and software to recognize multiple protocols and do the necessary translation, or a single protocol device must have as many variants as there are protocols that the manufacturer wishes to comply with. The former can reduce inventory but is more expensive and slower than the latter. In both cases, however, this makes the device considerably more expensive than if there was only one protocol in use; and in both cases the device must also incorporate software to wrap/unwrap the protocol addressing and data formats into and from the standard IP packet "envelope".
Secondly, all this wrapping/unwrapping and translation of protocols takes valuable time and therefore has a serious impact on the information-carrying capacity and response time of the system.
The logical solution - which will, no doubt, be fought tooth-and-nail by the various organizations and commercial interests behind the present proliferation of protocols - is to have ONE COMMON, OPEN PROTOCOL which uses IP addresses directly, has standardized data ID and value formats and, most importantly, fits exactly into an IP packet, so that no wrapping and unwrapping is necessary.
At my age, I would like to see it before I check out - but I'm not holding my breath!

water birth practitioners
Anyone you can recommend for a practitioners for water birth ? I really want to have a full knowledge on how should you prepare your self if you choose this particular birth method. I have seen a lot of videos an it was really amazing.
I want to know also the advantage and advantages of this method against all other delivery method.
Hope someone has an answer for me.
I would be very delighted!!
23rd August 2013 07:00 AM #2
Many birthing centres (which are staffed by midwifes) have birthing pools and you can also hire or buy your own birthing pool if you want to have a home birth. Some hospital delivery wards also have at least one room with a birthing pool.
So I am not sure which area you live in but if you opt for midwife-led care then you should be well supported to have a water birth. The same is true if you choose to have a home birth supported by a midwife in your home.
A good way to know if you are likely to find a birthing pool beneficial in labour is if you normally find having a bath a nice way to relax. Many women in labour find that being in a birthing pool helps them to 'let go' of any tension or fears they may have and so breathe through the contractions easier; helping the cervix to dilate more quickly and efficiently.
There is lots more information about Waterbirth here but I will summarise the main advantages of choosing a Waterbirth below.
- The warm water acts as a natural painkiller, making labour more comfortable.
- Women who have a Waterbirth are less likely to go on to need Pethidine or an epidural.
- Therefore, women who have a Waterbirth have less interventions making their labour lower risk.
- Labour in water can be quicker and easier.
- A birthing pool automatically gives a woman a 'birthing space' where she can 'go within herself' and turn off the conscious part of the brain which can slow down labour.
In terms of the disadvantages, there are not many really. You cannot use a birthing pool if you are induced using a drip because the equipment cannot be in the water. You can't use a Tens machine in the water. If you get in the water too early (before active labour has started) then it can actually slow down the contractions.
I hope this helps with your questions. Please do post back if you have any further questions about Waterbirth.

I want to know more about waterbirth. It looks interesting but I do not have much knowledge about it. Could you tell more about this. Do you know if it is offered in hospitals as well?

Hi Manju,
Welcome to our forum. Waterbirth refers to having to using a birthing pool in labour. There is lots more information on Waterbirths here.
Do you find water relaxing generally? For example, do you like to have a bath after a busy day at work in order to unwind and de-stress? If this is the case then you are also likely to find water will help you to relax in labour. Many women find that the warm water acts as a natural pain reliever as well as providing them with a safe and private space in which to birth. The later of these is so important in birth - in labour a woman needs to be able to 'go within herself' and breathe through the contractions; trying to relax her body as she does so. Indeed, Waterbirths often lead to a quicker and smoother labour.
Many hospitals do have a birthing pool. However, you would need to check with your local hospital as this is unfortunately not always the case. Some delivery wards only have one birthing pool and so it depends on whether this is in use or not as to whether it is available at the time of your labour. You can also use a birthing pool in a midwife-led birth centre or at a Homebirth.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
The breakfast is wonderful and I loved our room. We got one king sized bed, but there were two floors and it resembled a cozy cabin type! It was great! It's a bit of a far walk from all of the touristy things, but that't not necessarily a bad thing
I did not like the fruit juice at breakfast - it was watery and tasted artificail.
Very clean & spacious. Staff were all very friendly. Breakfast was excellent. Although a short walk to centre of Venice & St Mark's square, it was nice to be outside main tourist area - quieter, local restaurants excellent / cheaper, nice walk in to centre.
The location was very good,very clse to the vaporetto stop and all members of staff very helpful.
Nice location in the ghetto of Venice Very expensive internet. Staff not always helpful or friendly. Rooms are very dark.
The location was perfect. Convenient for restaurants, bars etc but away from the the touristy busy areas near the Grand Canal.
Very clean, brand new (renovation), super quiet, away from tourist hotspots. Very comfortable bed with a nice firm mattress. Separate toilet/bath. For its category the breakfast buffet could have offered a little more variety.
Peaceful and well serviced Lack of hot drink making facilities in the rooms
Quiet location. Good price. No restaurant.
The hotel is a contemporary renovation of a very old building, it is very aesthetically pleasing. The bar was small but comfortable, staff very helpful. Ample breakfasts for ever hungry teenagers.
our stay was very nice. it was in a nice part of venice, quiet but close to all the action. the room was great and the staff were always so helpful in anything we needed. the food was great, and the rooms were clean and comfortable.
The staff, the great breakfast, and the quant location.
The area is very nice, hotel staff lovely and the room clean and modern, breakfast very good too
The location was fabulous, The main building was nicely designed, the public rooms and breakfast room were modern design, bright and appealing. Breakfast was relaxed and enjoyable. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. Great vibe. The bed was clean and comfortable. Unfortunately, compared to the main building, the annex room seems to be an after thought. Dark and somewhat dingy (ie, smashed bugs on walls and ceiling, oily smudges on wall, toiletries set picked over, shower doors loose and off track.) My room had no number on door and I mistakenly opened my neighbors! Thank goodness they where not inside. Surprisingly, my key seemed to work on all of the doors! Non refundable for a reason, stick to the main building.
The staff were more than professional and helpful. The hotel was clean, quiet, and very comfortable. Again my compliments to the helpful staff.
the decor of the rooms and hotel is excellent, the breakfast is very generous and tasty. there are a few small, but essential things missing in the room. eg, a shower curtain, or an iron, or a TV channel in engish
The hotel was perfectly situated as to be in a quiet area but within easy reach of major tourist attractions. The facilities in the room were excellent. The breakfasts were definitely worth getting out of bed for with an excellent buffet selection. We love Mr and Mrs Smith recommended hotels!! The beds were a little on the too hard side but not enough to complain about!!
We thought the room was modern with good facilities. The location was fantastic as it was off the beaten track. The service on arrival and departure was great and breakfast was superb. The room looked a little tired and would benefit from a redec.
Room was lovely, breakfast nice and Staff very friendly and helpful. Great location.
The staff were very courteous and extremely friendly, multilingual and efficient. The location is fantastic although a bit of a walk to the centre of Venice. The water taxi is the best way to get there but worth the extra money you pay as it is a short walk to the hotel.The decor is modern and charming as it's namesake. I highly recommend it.
Fantastic setting, excellent space and design, very romantic
Excellent location very near St Mark's Square. Staff friendly and helpful. Well designed rooms and reception. Good air conditioning. Nice view from window. Breakfast was exceptionally poor, especially in relation to the price of the hotel. Room was noisy at times (thin walls and next to reception and hotel entrance). Too many light switches in the room - confusing. Showers were unreliable. Room was dark. My wife complained that there were not enough mirrors or shelves.
Ideal location, 5 minutes walk to either Rialto Bridge or St Mark's Square. Staff, either not around or when available continous presence made us uncomfortable. He needs more professionalism and better language skills although we fully understand he tried his best. Breakfast presentation.
Amazing, great value, kind staff, great location.
Location; staff very pleasant; good breakfast
The location was very good - on one hand very close to the very center on Venice, on the other hand not on touristic routs, so we could enjoy the charm of its local life with neighbors, little bars and family run great restaurants. Staff was great too. The room was quite small but furnished in old venician style which was very romantic. Once when it was flooding it smelled sewage from in the bathroom.
The hotel is tiny and well located for the main sights of Venice. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and the rooms spotlessly clean. We stayed in a superior double which was quite a bit larger than our friends standard double so I would recommend the superior rooms for taller people as the beds are longer! The Apostoli Palace is a litte gem of a hotel and a perfect base for visiting Venice.
the interior room was beautiful, and very modern. The staff were very helpful. The breakfast was lovely if simple. The ouside of the hotel at first sight was intimidating as it is very dilapidated. Later we realised that all Venice was much the same. The walls and ceiling conducted a lot of noise. there were children both above us and beside us and this noise appeared to be virtually in the same room. This however did not too much impinge on our stay as being children they went to sleep fairly early.
the staff could not do enough to help and made us feel very welcome. we upgraded to a superior room which was lovely. breakfast could have been better with more choice but was still acceptable
we enjoyed our stay at Apostoli Palace very much. The hotel was spotless clean and quiet.Lovely breakfast served until 10 am. Our room was a bit on a small side but we had everything we needed. Reception staff very helpful and pleasant. They could reccomend places to visit also good local restaurants, rubber boots were also available when water was high. We would reccomend this hotel for its cleanliness, value for maney and location. It wasn`t easy to find the hotel at first becouse it wasn`t on our map but we called for directions and it was OK
Quick booking process, good price, and easy to find
Quiet location. No pet/smoking odors..Nice shower/bath.. Probably had a nice breakfast, however we left early and missed it.. It was very hard to find...Signage was poor throughout Venice, and this hotel had a tiny sign...No one advised us of the stop to get off of from the water taxi..
Great location, comfortable beds, excellent shower, good breakfast - would stay there again.
the room+services+facilities ( tennis;swiming; etc don't have good connection for the city center - they could buy a shuttle bus for the hotel
The front desk staf was very rude!!!! He yelled several times at me once I showed him 2 passports only. He said "I need all the 5 passports now!!!". He talked as if I am so stupid, as if it was my first time international trip. And, as if I could not understand English at all!!! I was graduated from the uk for heaven sake! I was so shocked! I was trying to find the lobby of the hotel as we came from the parking lots, with all the bushes and trees, it doesn't look like a hotel at all! The signages are not really clear. So, we went to find the lobby before loading every thing from the rented car. And, nobody helped us with the luggage. Also, the lady during breakfast is so rude and harsh too!!!
internet did't work in the rooms- American Express is not accepted- breakfast start at 8.00
The hotel was modern comfortable and clean We asked when we checked in if we should book for dinner and were told there was need. The dining area was booked for a wedding so they refused to serve us. We begged for something to eat as we were miles away from anywhere. Breakfast was served a la Fawlty Towers but the restaurant is apparently independent of the hotel itself although in the hotel.
Hotel is modern, fresh, excellent decor and style, super pool, tennis, gym, lovely grounds for a stroll, great for a weekend chill with Venice only an hours bus ride away. Excellent hotel only let down by restaraunt/breakfast, very poor breakfast offering and almost a reluctance to be helpful by restaraunt staff.
Great Hotel and Location Yes; I could not find the hotel. Very hard to locate at first.
Central location; good size bathrooms. Hotel building, reception and hall/stairways were extremely shabby. Rooms very dark. Not at all what we were expecting from the photos. We were expecting a 4* hotel as the Casa was listed with the much grander Hotel Priuli, which was misleading. Very poor value for money.
Well located, staff came immediately to unload water taxi and get us into room. Very helpful with tourist arrangements. Good atmosphere Do not try and get there from public transport. Use a water taxi . but no worse than others and better than most
This hotel has the best staff and management of any hotel I have stayed at. I am not sure there is anything else I can say. Very positive experience.
the closness to St Marco Plaza. See first answer.
The Hotel is very classic. Great location. Very good staff. Beds were horrible but everything else great
We stayed at this place for 2 nights, the room was very spacious and good value for the money. The breakfast was excellent compared to other places we've stayed. None
Excellt location! We booked a "tripple room" with a balcony, which was good invetsment. Having a big balcony facing the canal clearly added value. Very friendly and helpful staff (helping us track a lost bag). A bit expensive, but probably good value for money in Venice. Breakfast ok, but not great.
noise! our room (407)was behind the breakfast room and next by the stairs
it felt like awarm cozy castle with Venecian character. The staff, rooms,and breakfast were great. We would absolutely return. Beds a bit too hard .
Clean, large rooms Staff were quite surly, lifeguards downright rude. The place felt a little unloved and could have been improved by small touches here and there. For example shabby patio furniture, bar in the hotel shut.
It is nice, new and clean. The breakfast was terrific. The sauna and workout room is great. Smartly designed room, comfortable bed, and big balcony with distant sea view. It is quite far from venice. It is atleast 15 min. to Lido center to catch the ferry. It could take up to an hour to get to piazza san marco. The surroundings of the hotel are sparse and industrial. must take a bus or car to get to restaurants, shopping, etc. the do not have access to the ocean.
Great hotel at a great price. Staff were great! I would like to go back in the summer time.
Made very welcome by the staff. A relaxing stay in rural surroundings.
Friendly and relaxed atmosphere and hotel stuff, cleanliness, beautiful surrounding Absolutely nothing
We found the staff particularly friendly. Limited public IT facilities and no effort to keep mosquitos at bay.
very helpful at reception , good local bus service within 100 metres pool doesn,t open until end of may , no beach ,only large boulders , good tennis courts , mainly for younger people
It was clean. Staff were very polite and helpful. Although initially it seemed a bit isolated there was plenty of public transport to tak you to Lido Venice or the fabulous beach at Alberino
The staff was friendly. Price/quality ratio is good. There was too much noise in the rooms from the hallways. Breakfast menu should be more diverse. The mosquitos were quite aggressive.
awful accomodation, barely a hotel. in the middle of no-where. meant to be on the beach but that is a blatent lie. meant to be 4 star - also an utter fabrication. the only thing i DID like about this place was the front door as we left at the end of our stay.
The location of the hotel is great, right by the train station and the grand canal. The temperature of our room was unbearably hot and the hotel staff did not help with it at all. The hotel is filled with mosquitoes.
location I booked the double room with my own bathroom, which also was showed in my paper from the booking.com. However, the staff of the hotel gave me a very small room (no .402) without the bathroom. My wife and I had to share the publc bathroom with other residents. No.402 is not worth 75 Euros. I argued this poor service with the staff, but he was rude and told me there was nothing he can do. Although the staff gave me the discount, the hotel and staff's service destroy my mood to enjoy the Venice. The remoter of the TV in this hotel even chaege the 10 Euros deposit. I forgot to take the money back when I checked out. Thus, I do not recommend this hotel and score 0.
Location is convenient. Breakfast table usually unavailable due to no space, so have to stand and wait for long time; slow service by one person who is overworked.Food available disappointing with no eggs or meat supplied. Central heating was not allowed to be switched on (even when requested), when it was cold and moist inside the room.
Location, staff and breakfast It would be nice if the room floor was clean. I do not think that it has been mopped in ages. It was real dusty and dirty especially along the walls and only clean from the tracking of the feet.
The staff were wery professional and helpful. Eccellent location near station.
I like it very much specially for his location, not so far from the center of Venice!! No complaints!
Very basic
breafasts were wonderfull, especially with two teenagers boys always hungry. And people of the hotel were very nice, thank you. only one problem: I got mosquitos or fleas' stitches - I can't distinguish - but it was unpleasant for me during my last night in the hotel and four days after !
Location is great! Very close to the train station and sights in Venice. The shower in our room had broken doors and flooded out entire room. My husband and I had a mosquito infestation in our room. Two of the staff members were rude. Bed was incredibly uncomfortable. Breakfast selection was very limited
Great location near the train station. Helpful staff. Great rates. Rooms are just...meh. Not dirty -- but just old. Very tiny. Beds were not comfortable.
The location was nice Being on the 4th floor with no elevator. Make sure to pack light! The room was air conditioned but didn't work very well. The bed was a little old.

Goat Cheese and Fig Walnut Crepes
Created By Alex Stratta - Chef
Reviews(0) See all Reviews
Chef Alex Stratta prepares this goat cheese filling for his walnut crepes. Any seasonal fruit will work beautifully; here Chef Alex uses figs.
Goat Cheese Filling
- 4 ounces (1/2 cup) goat cheese, plain, at room temperature
- 2 ounces (1/4 cup) Mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
- 1/3 cup California walnuts, toasted, chopped
- 1 tablespoon crème fraîche or sour cream
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Pinch of pepper, ground
- 6–8 figs, fresh, thinly sliced* (Chef Alex likes to soak them in Marsala wine before using them)
- 6 walnut crepes, prepared
*Note: If fresh figs are not available, dried figs may be substituted (if they are soft and moist). Thin slices of sweet, ripe plum or mango could also be used; choose something in-season and you can't go wrong.
- To prepare the goat cheese filling, combine all the ingredients in a small bowl and, using a whisk or a hand-held electric mixer, beat until smooth and fluffy. If you are making the filling ahead of time, cover and refrigerate, but bring to room temperature before using.
- To assemble the crepes, first preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread one side of each crepe with about 3 tablespoons of goat cheese and walnut filling. Arrange a few slices of fig over the filling. Fold the crepe in half, the in half again, to make a triangular-shaped packet. Place the folded crepes on a large baking sheet.
- Just before serving, place the filled crepes in the preheated oven for 4–5 minutes, just to warm them slightly.
Serving suggestion: Chef Alex Stratta plates these crepes alongside his toasted beet, walnut and frisee salad.
Note: Nutritional information below reflects one serving of the Walnut Crepes plus the Goat Cheese and Fig filling. The nutritional information listed for the Walnut Crepes reflect that recipe as it stands alone.

Elderly woman target of home invasion robbers
An elderly Vancouver woman was the target of a home invasion robbery Thursday morning. She was at home by herself when she heard her doorbell ring several times. When she went to answer it the door had been broken in and at least two men were in her home. They instructed her to go into a closet and be quiet they would not hurt her. The victim waited until she heard them leave and called 911. She was not injured.
The Vancouver Police Major Crimes Unit is investigating. No suspect information is available and no vehicle was seen. Anyone with information on the possible identity of the suspects is asked to call the Vancouver Police Department Tip Line at (360) 487-7399 (referencing case #V13-14709).
The victim told police she received a phone call the previous day from an individual allegedly representing an alarm company and asking if she had an alarm. Anyone who may have received a similar call is asked to contact the Vancouver Police Tip Line number and provide any information available (phone number of the caller etc.) that may assist with this investigation. No other similar robberies have been reported.
Vancouver Police remind citizens not to provide any personal information over the telephone and to document any pertinent information such as caller ID or details if they believe the caller may not be a legitimate representative of a company.

Wide receiver Marqise Lee returned to USC from winning the Biletnikoff Award during a ceremony Thursday night in Orlando, Fla. He did not practice.
Lee said his trophy weighs 60 pounds and he will receive it in February.
"My heart was beating so fast (when they made the announcement)," Lee said. "Once I won, all my teammates came to mind, from Robert (Woods) to (Matt) Barkley. We had a tough season. This award is not just for me but coaches and offensive and defensive players.
"I don't think I'll take (the trophy) home. I'll probably just leave it in the locker room for the offense and defense to enjoy it."
Lee said he was also nervous when Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel threw a football at him during the ceremony.
"The worst part was having to catch a ball from Johnny on the stage," Lee said.
Lee admitted he was disappointed he was not invited to today's Heisman Trophy ceremony in New York.
"I was hoping I went," he said. "I still got time. I'll make sure I work hard."
USC coach Lane Kiffin said the award was indicative of Lee's "dominant season."
"I would guess the voting wasn't even close," Kiffin said.
Incidentally, Lee was not included in the original list of Biletnikoff candidates sent out by the award organizers last summer.
Martin to Tennessee?
USC wide receivers coach Tee Martin is expected to be contacted by new Tennessee coach Butch Jones to see if Martin would return to his alma mater.
More on Markowitz
It is almost certain USC offensive lineman Abe Markowitz will not return to USC next season. Under NCAA rules, if Markowitz does apply for a sixth year, he must do so as a scholarship athlete, which means he cannot walk-on. That means Kiffin would need to include Markowitz among his 75 players on scholarship.
Markowitz might ask another school, such as Hawaii or UCLA, to apply for his sixth year.

I am 26 yrs-old. I have hypertension and some friends told taking excess of medicines can cause problem in sex life is it true? What should I do to maintain good sex life.
I am very foodie .I always think about my food I mean while eating breakfast I think about lunch when I will eat lunch like that .I eat food without chewing and daily I eat snacks such as kurkure ,puffs, oily and junk food .because of this my weight increased and now I am 80 kg in 17 years only.
In most diseases, early detection of the disease is the key to control the symptoms, cure, reduce progression and improve prognosis. This holds true for sexually transmitted diseases too. As soon as there is a mild degree of suspicious of having contracted a sexually transmitted disease, it is advisable to go for a test. Most of the STDs can develop into serious complications over a period of time, ranging from infertility to even death.
Complications: Why early diagnosis is important: When left undiagnosed and untreated, most STDs progress to cause severe damage from sterility to cancer to even death. Listed below are some complications associated with each of the common STDs.
- Chlamydia: If left untreated, can lead to epididymitis and testicles shrinking and infertility in males. This is a condition where there is pus formation in the scrotum. In women, it can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease which is deep-seated and unable to cure completely. This brings with it symptoms ranging from abdominal pain to uterine infections to sterility.
- Syphillis: Undiagnosed syphilis can lead to blindness and deafness. It can also be passed onto the newborn and lead to severe disabilities.
- Gonorrhea: If diagnosed early, it can be cured completely with antibiotics. However, if left untreated, it can lead to infertility.
- HIV/AIDS: Early diagnosis can help in curtailing the disease. If detected late, then the damage is quite extensive and treatment is both expensive and cannot help restore a lot of functions.
Symptoms of Sexually transmitted diseases: If there is a doubt of having contracted an STD, then it is very important to get tested for the same. Some of the most common symptoms are listed below.
- Women: The most common symptoms in women including painful urination, burning sensation, abnormal vaginal discharge (sometimes bleeding), warts, and abdominal pain.
- Men: Testicular pain, urethral pain, painful urination, pain and inflammation in the prostate, sores, fever, and abdominal pain.
Prevention: Always practice safe sexual practices. When in doubt, refrain from sex until diagnosis and treatment is complete.
Testing for STDs: Some of the standard tests include:
- 1. Herpes- HSV I & II -
2. Testing HIV-- Kits and ELISA available for testing
3. Blood test for syphilis antibodies
4. Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea - from urine as well as swabs for culture
It is understandable that getting tested for STDs is an embarrassing situation. However, there are options available where anonymity can be maintained when getting tested for STDs. This is a wise choice to make as the risk is not just for the person affected but for the partner and in some cases even for the fetus. Early testing can help prevent complications like infertility and cancer.
If you have been trying to get pregnant for a long period of time, but not succeeding, it is time for you to see a doctor immediately.
In case you have tried for pregnancy and not getting near it for a long duration, do not get disheartened and worried. There a lot of fertility techniques which have evolved over the time due to the advancement of medical technology.
If you have failed again and again, you should not wait anymore and visit a doctor. The doctor would help you locate the problem behind your failure and would provide you with other options of getting pregnant.
They are as follows:
Fertility drugs
They are the primary remedy for women who struggle to get naturally pregnant as they cannot perform ovulation.
Mimicking the body's own hormones, drugs such as Clomid work to trigger the ovaries into discharging eggs. This strategy prompts pregnancy accomplishment in a couple of months without further delay. Different drugs can, likewise, be utilized to control the menstrual cycle or thicken the womb's coating to set it up for pregnancy. Your doctor will prescribe you fertility drugs if you have an extremely irregular menstrual cycle and your ovulation is unusual, and you are not producing eggs. Sometimes, these drugs are given to women with pituitary failure.
Intrauterine insemination
In this process, a tube which contains sperms of best quality is inserted into the vagina of a woman into the uterus via the cervix. This process is carried out during the fertile-most period of the woman's menstrual cycle. It may be repeated for two or three days.
Your doctor may recommend this method in case you have unexplained infertility, or if you have problems in ovulating. If your partner is impotent or in case that you do not have a partner, this process can be undertaken.
In vitro fertilization (IVF)
This treatment includes the preparation of an egg outside your body. Eggs are accumulated from a woman's ovaries and are blended with sperm. The fertilization process happens in a leveled, flat shaped glass dish. The prepared egg or embryo is then put back into the uterus, which is called embryo transfer. A solitary treatment cycle can take anything between six weeks and two months and involves stages where you need regular injections and general ultrasound observing. This will be recommended by the doctor if you have unexplained fertility or when your fallopian tubes get blocked.
If you are struggling to get pregnant for a long time, you should not wait and consult a doctor, who would provide you with alternatives.
"Men get naughty at 4-0 forty" but for women, the case may be very-very different. By their thirtieth birthday, many women begin complaining of a lowered libido or lack of interest in sex with their partner. This can be quite frustrating for both partners and can lead to a rift in the relationship. Hence, it becomes essential to pay attention to this condition.
The first step to finding a solution to any problem is to understand the factors that trigger it. Some causes for a lowered libido in women are -
Birth Control and Medication: Birth control essentially manipulates the hormone levels in the body. While this may prevent unwanted pregnancies, a lowered libido is a common side effect of birth control medication. Antidepressants also have similar side effects.
Over Working: Working hard is a good thing but too much of a good thing can have a negative effect on your health. In this case, overworking may lead to stress, anxiety, fatigue and burnout. This can lead to a weakened adrenal gland. The adrenal glands are responsible for the production of testosterone and in this way, working too hard can be the reason for women to not enjoy sex as much as they once used to.
Hormonal Changes: With age, every woman faces hormonal changes. This can result in a lack of lubrication making intercourse uncomfortable. Over time, this can lower libido considerably.
Ways to Enhance a Woman's Libido-
A lowered libido isn't something you have to quietly accept. Here are a few ways to enhance a woman's libido.
Go on a date:
Intercourse is as much an emotional exercise as it is a physical one. Cutting back from other responsibilities, work, children etc and spending time alone with your partner can help you emotionally reconnect with him.
Meditation can help calm the mind and reduce stress. This, in turn, will enhance the production of testosterone in the adrenal glands and thereby enhance libido. Meditation can also help you disconnect from worries and tensions that may be weighing you down.
When it comes to a diminished libido, medication may be an effective form of treatment, but it must be tailored to the individual. While estrogen skin creams may be beneficial for some women, others may benefit from testosterone supplements. A few antidepressants can also enhance a woman's libido by increasing dopamine and norepinephrine levels. Viagra can also help enhance a woman's libido especially in cases where the lowered libido was caused by antidepressants.

Running is a sport that many people indulge in, on a daily basis. For many professional athletes, running is also a part of their job. While it may be an extremely fulfilling experience in sheer physical terms, it also has varied implications in the long run as far as the health of your bones, joints and muscles go. Also, runners are constantly at the risk of getting injured, which can lead to many complications. Read on to know how you can protect the same with these five tips to avoid injuries.
- Warming Up and Stretching: Many injuries can happen when you do not stretch before you indulge in a strenuous activity like running. Warming up should be done with the help of a quick brisk walk that should happen a few minutes before you start running. Also, when you are stretching, you should not hold your breath and do it slowly without rushing yourself. Avoid stretching your muscles when they are cold. The stretching exercises should happen after the warm up.
- Strengthening Exercises: It is important to indulge in good amount of exercises that will strengthen your quads, calves and feet so that your muscles are strong enough to support your weight while you run without putting undue pressure on the joints, which can succumb to injuries and fractures.Strengthening exercises are given to hamstring muscles as well.
- Weight: Managing your weight is one of the most important parts of the regimen for a runner. If you are taking up running professionally or if you are doing it as exercise, you must ensure that your weight is at a normal level as per your ideal BMI so that you do not end up putting pressure on your knees. A good diet and plenty of exercise will help in maintaining a good weight.
- Footwear: Your shoes are one of the most important aspects when you are running. You must choose shoes that have a good cushion or gel inside. Be sure to select shoes that are designed for runners specifically, so that the shoes take on the shape of your feet and give you good balance and motion even as the friction with the ground happens. The correct footwear will support the running motion and keep injuries at bay.
- Stride Length and Impact: It is imperative to practice the correct stride length and impact when your feet hit the ground as this is where injuries most commonly happen. You will need to ensure that you get professional help from a trainer so that you can gauge and accordingly practice your stride length in keeping with your frame so that the impact is minimal on the rest of the body and its joints. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a Physiotherapist.

what a great company and great product
By myra
from st louis
we bought this hammock 4 years ago and it now needs repair or replacement. we were thinking about replacing it and made a call to the Hammacher Schlemmer. After speaking with the customer service, the company offered us a free replacement guarantee, WOW, we are very surprised!We did not know they had a guarantee for their products. So we bought more stuff to encourage great business behavior and service. we also told everyone we know to start buying from Hammacher. they have very high end and unique items, and very advanced in technology as well.We are very pleased to say the least!!We just sent the old item back with pre-paid postage and are waiting for the credit. we have confidence in their customer service and their product.thank you very much!!by the way: they ship to Hawaii with a reasonable rate!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great product wonderfully backed up by H-S
By Greg
from Flagstaff, AZ
We first bought this hammock and associated stand in spring of 2010. Considering this model hammock is all cotton we had concerns about how long it would stand up in our relatively harsh climate. However it has endured wonderfully and been trouble free. (We do put it away in winter but it stays out the rest of the year.) We do have one product improvement suggestion regarding the stand. Although it's cleverly designed for quick and easy disassembly, it would be nice if there were a way to fold it with the hammock still attached, so it could be easily moved aside to open room on the patio or slide it under cover when rain approaches.

Another follower, much less truly distinguished than d'Indy but better known in this country, is Gabriel Faur.
According to d'Indy it is more truly pathetic than the entire so-called Pathetic Sonata.
d'Indy's compositions, as in the case of Franck, are not numerous, but finely wrought and of distinct and varied individuality.
d'Indy is also a thoroughly modern composer in that he is an artist in words as well as in notes.
All these works contain certain salient characteristics proceeding directly from d'Indy's imagination and intellect.

How can cybersecurity issues bite a political campaign in the tail? Just ask Newt.
In late 2011, as the primaries picked up steam, a Democratic political action committee (PAC) bought the rights to newtgingrich.com and used it to send up a series of cutting spoofs. (The candidate's real site is newt.org.) The site redirected to high-end jewelry company Tiffany's (where Gingrich had a $500,000 line of credit), to mortgage lender Freddie Mac (where he had a lucrative consulting contract), and to a range of unflattering articles. The PAC, called American Bridge, even offered to sell the site to the highest bidder, saying it couldn't give it away for fear of its members being branded socialists.
How did this happen? The Gingrich team simply failed to renew the domain when its license expired, and the PAC snapped it up. The saga of newtgingrich.com highlights an emerging issue on the campaign trail. As candidates rely more on blogs, social media and online campaign contributions, their IT teams are under mounting pressure to ensure that all cyberconnections are locked down.
To understand the digital threats to political campaigns, it first helps to understand what factors come together to make candidates — and their platforms and messages — such tempting targets.
First, there's the money. Campaigns have become adept at collecting contributions online, a practice that has grown considerably from just a few campaign cycles back. At the same time, IT managers have zealously built up databases of past donors who can potentially be tapped as future needs arise, along with their credit card information.
This combination of more online giving and rich databases full of donor names and financial information makes a tempting target for phishing or direct exploitation of stockpiled credit card data.
Even more enticing than money is power, said Ed Skoudis, SANS Institute senior instructor and cybersecurity expert. "This is how the electorate makes its decisions, how leaders are selected, so if you wanted to sway the electorate or public policy, one way to do that is by manipulating elections," he said. "I can take small actions to have big effects. I just have to type in a few key strokes. It's high profile, it has built-in publicity. There are all kinds of press. So if you want to make a splash, this is a great opportunity."
One more element? How about road rage? Some candidates speak out against hackers, propose new cybersafeguards, or question present practice in Internet usage. They want to change the rules of the road. "And some people don't want those rules of the road changed. They don't want any rules of the road," Skoudis said. Candidates who cross the hacker group Anonymous and similar organizations risk cyberwrath.
With these and other motivations looming, cyberattacks against candidates can come in many forms.
Pick Your Poison
At security provider McAfee, Vice President of Government Relations Tom Gann said the most dangerous attacks can be those that target players within the campaign itself. Called an "advanced persistent threat," this sort of highly strategic initiative opens a back channel into the inner workings of a campaign.
The attacker typically emails a campaign worker; launches an attack from within the email; and effectively sets up a pipe directly into the campaign through which to collect information on vulnerabilities, messaging and other key elements of the opposing team's strategy.
Denial of service (DOS) also is a significant peril. "Maybe all you need to do is just shut the systems down in those last days of the campaign," Gann said. DOS can cut off cash flow or squelch information at critical moments.
"A political campaign is all about messaging, and if you can't get your message out, that's it, you're not really campaigning anymore," Skoudis said. "If it happens right before the election, it could have really significant consequences."

Leahi (Diamond Head), Oahu
Leahi (Diamond Head State Monument)
- Name: Leahi (Diamond Head State Monument)
- What: Iconic state monument with a panoramic view of Honolulu
- Where: Five minutes east of Waikiki
- More Info: Open 6am to 6pm, $1 for walk-ins, $5 for cars
The iconic silhouette of Diamond Head State Monument sits along the Honolulu skyline just beyond Waikiki. This 760-foot tuff crater is one of Hawaii's most famous landmarks.
Known as Leahi (brow of the tuna) in Hawaiian, the crater was named Diamond Head by 19th century British sailors who thought they discovered diamonds on the crater's slopes. These "diamonds" were actually shiny calcite crystals that had no value.
Formed more than 100,000 years ago, the crater was used as a strategic military lookout beginning in the early 1900's and was named a National Natural Landmark in 1968. Today, Diamond Head is a popular hiking destination with panoramic views of Waikiki and Oahu's south shore.
It only takes a short drive or bus ride to get to Diamond Head Crater from Waikiki. This moderately challenging trail includes two sets of stairs, totaling 175 steps, as well as dark, underground tunnels and old military bunkers that require a flashlight. The stunning views that greet you at the top of Diamond Head are well worth the effort.
If you plan to hike on Saturday morning, don't forget to stop by the Kapiolani Community College Farmer's Market — Oahu's premier farmers market showcasing locally grown food and produce — across the street from the monument entrance on Monsarrat Avenue. In fact, there are a few notable cafes and restaurants lining Monsarrat that will make for a great pre or post Diamond Head meal.

Hi there,
I have been with Talk Talk for a while now and since i have started to learn about WEP/WPA cracking through Backtrack i thought i would give cracking my WPA key a go.
I was wondering if there is a default WPA key algorithm for Talk Talk D-Link DSL-2640R routers?
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for this information.
Would this work with the default module/driver included in new kernels ? (such as with the Ubuntu 9.04 which does not need an external module)
Or is there something with the rtl8187se_coffee driver you've recommended ?
After much reading on the internet and finding NOTHING I have decided to make this tutorial to get the RTL8187SE working and also how to get packet injection to work. THIS IS NOT A TUTORIAL ABOUT CRACKING WEP. Simply how to get the card to work.
Things you will need:
1. msi-wind-linux. googlecode. com/ files/ rtl8187se_linux-04. tar. bz2 - The driver source.
2. Backtrack 4 beta (but I assume you already have it. Also I have not tested this method on Backtrack 3 Final.)
STEP 1. Download this Source for compiling.
Step 2. Extract the files into /root/ folder. open up Terminal and type:
STEP 3. This will compile your driver. Then type:Code:cd /root/rtl8187se_coffee ./makedrv
This will load your driver and start the device. Next is the dumb part.Code:./wlan0up
STEP 4. Type:
It will not work but that is ok. The reason being that the driver source is very basic but we can trick it into thinking that it HAS monitor support (cause it does :P )Code:airodump-ng wlan0
STEP 5. Open up a new window/tab in your Terminal and type:
If all goes well than this will trick airodump into resetting the card into Monitor mode on the fly and will let you do WHATEVER you are going to do with it :PCode:iwconfig wlan0 mode managed iwconfig wlan0 essid HackingTheMatrix
Thanks for this information.
Would this work with the default module/driver included in new kernels ? (such as with the Ubuntu 9.04 which does not need an external module)
Or is there something with the rtl8187se_coffee driver you've recommended ?
prolly but I don't think that is would work with ubuntu alone considering backtrack uses other stuff in it's distro for packet injection.
this driver works on my ubuntu for its purpose... as just a wifi card
hope this answers your question :/
when i use "iwconfig wlan0 essid secretcodes" it says error for wireless request "set essid" ... operation not permitted. and then i use "iwconfig wlan0 mode managed" and that seems to work and adds one ap to the airodump list, if i run it again it adds another one. Does rtl8187se support packetinjection yet? I wish their were complete drivers for this card.
sounds cool but I have a problem... I am new to Linux
I put BT3 on my SD Card for my Asus EeePC and it runs fast... really fast
but when I do iwcconfig there is no wireless hardware... I need to install the driver to my SDCard... can someone explain me how to do that?
Well I am not sure what exactly you are asking but I figure you are talking about the same card.
All you have to do is copy that file over to your sd card (with windows) then navigate to your /mnt/ directory and find out where your sdcard is mounted there should be a couple of folders in there saying like sda1 and such.
once you have located it then try doing to tutorial then
hope that helps.
and the error is part of it that is one of the steps to trick linux into using real Monitoring Mode.
And yes the drivers are VERY basic but the card is somewhat generic it DOES work for packet injection and I have used it on several occasions
Thank u very much for your help. I have tested your method on bt3 final. it worked very well,including injection. i cracked an AP in 3 or 4 minutes with spoonwep. i had found 3 different drivers of rtl8187se before yours,and none of them worked.yours is very successful. i am very admire of u.
And very sorry that my English is not very well. hope i have expressed my self clearly
I got everything up and running correctly except for injection.
When I use airodump-ng and try to connect to an ssid in another terminal window it does trick my card into monitor mode and I can then see all the SSIDs in the area.
When I "aireplay-ng -9 wlan0" to check injection it gives me 0%...
Am I doing something wrong? Help is much appreciated.
Packet injection also some times requires you to change your MAC address to that of the person you are trying to emulate. I cannot get it to run sometimes too but as I said I think it is the router.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

LWC student Emily Ramage speaks Wednesday at the launch of
"15 to Finish" campaign in the Capitol Rotunda as Council on
Postsecondary Education
President Robert L. King, left, and Lt. Governor Jerry Abramson
look on.
FRANKFORT, Ky. -- Lindsey Wilson College
student Emily Ramage of Columbia took part Wednesday in a statewide
campaign urging college students to finish college in a minimal
amount of time.
Dubbed "15 to Finish," the campaign urges full-time
college students to complete a full 15-credit schedule each
semester, or 30 credits a year, the standard course load that will
allow students to graduate on-time in four years.
Ramage -- who is a communication and Christian ministries major -- represented the
Association of
Independent Kentucky Colleges and Universities, which is part
of the statewide campaign.
The "15 to Finish" campaign will promote the benefits of
completing a full course schedule, which include saving time and
money, and getting into the workforce sooner. The launch took place
in the Capitol Rotunda and included remarks by Lt. Governor Jerry Abramson and higher
education officials. Ramage was one of two current college students
who are on track to graduate in four years who made remarks.
Ramage said she made the choice to take a minimum of 15
hours each semester during her college career because even though
she loves college life at LWC, "I viewed staying in more than four
years as a speed bump to my future."
Ramage said she will finish on time despite having to
help her mother through chemotherapy and being active in a number
of campus activities during her college career.
The "15 to Finish" campaign is a collaborative project of
Kentucky's colleges and universities and the Council on Postsecondary
"Kentucky's nonprofit, private colleges and universities
have always emphasized timely graduation so that students can move
on to the workforce or to graduate school or whatever's next," said
AIKCU President Gary S. Cox. "We're happy to join CPE and our
friends at KCTCS and the public universities to spread this message
to students and families throughout the commonwealth."
While the private colleges in Kentucky have an aggregate
six-year graduation rate that is roughly comparable to the
public universities, students are currently more likely to graduate
in four years from a private college. Three out of four first-time,
full-time students who graduate from a Kentucky private college do
so in four years.
The "15 to Finish" campaign is a key strategy of a larger
student success effort to increase high-quality degrees and
credentials, increase graduation rates and close achievement gaps
in Kentucky.
The initiative is part of a nationwide effort promoted by
College America, an organization whose mission is to increase
the number of Americans with career certificates or college

A9 TV, March 25th, 2012
Faith means a healthy body and a healthy soul. But when there is no faith, changes take place in the soul and body. You can tell when you look at someone's face. But faith produces a wondrous beauty, attractiveness, superiority and quality. This is most amazing. It stems from faith. This attractiveness is thought to be with people from birth. But no, this is a special state given to people through faith. This is immediately taken away when faith disappears, may Allah forbid. A person immediately becomes ugly and abnormal. In the same way that Allah creates a flower to be beautiful and colorful, and then makes it wither. I mean, people do not always stay beautiful. Faith makes them beautiful, but when faith goes, may Allah forbid, so does that beauty. They become ugly in body and soul. But believers' bodies and souls become beautiful. They become delightful, insha'Allah.
I look on the internet and see astonishingly beautiful young girls. But they ruin themselves, the poor things. With cigarettes and excess and lovelessness. I look at their pictures, and their faces are empty. There is no love in their eyes. It is very sad for them. But when people have no faith and do not live by Islam, there can be no glint of joy or love in their eyes. There will be no sign of health in their skin or bodies. A collapse takes place because they regard themselves as essentially worthless. And when a young girl regards herself as worthless, if she does not feel she is of any value, if she does not feel respected, then the end result is a psychological collapse.2012-04-21 22:02:29

Brevard, N.C. – Victory returned to the courts of Brevard on Monday afternoon as the Tornado men's tennis team won a tight battle over visiting Newberry College, 5-4. Jarred Fisher won at both singles and doubles for Brevard, with his individual victory clinching the match.
Two of three doubles points went the home team's way. At No. 1, Jeremy Smith and Felipe Sobrinho won a point for Newberry (2-6, 1-2 SAC) with a 9-8 (7-1) win over Konstantin Savelyev and Cole Altizer. In the second flight, however, Fisher and Heikki Riikonen beat Lucas Mattos and Maxim Sukharev, 8-6, and at No. 3 Andrew Thompson and Nate Lyles bested Pavle Popovic and Mark Boswell, 8-3.
Brevard (12-3, 3-3 SAC) lost the top three flights in singles but won the bottom three and the match. Savelyev retired in his match with Sukharev, trailing 5-2 in the opening set, Riikonen dropped a close one to Mattos at No. 2, 1-6, 6-3, 10-7, and Altizer fell to Smith in the third round, 6-3, 0-6, 6-3.
Courts 4-6 went Brevard's way. Fisher beat Sobrinho, 6-1, 6-2, Thompson got past Popovic, 6-2, 6-1, and Shane Apps drilled Boswell, 6-1, 6-0. Thompson's win pushed Brevard to the brink of victory, and Fisher's triumph was the fifth and clinching point.
The Tornados head back to the court Friday for a 3 p.m. home match with Lenoir-Rhyne. Newberry plays at Georgia College & State Tuesday at 2:30 p.m.
