Guide to all the free public beaches on Capri: where to find the most beautiful on the island!
On Capri, the beaches are few and tiny! The rocky cliffs which line the coast are one of the island's beauties, but leave little space for beaches...and those that are on the island are often stone ledges from which you can dive directly into the deep water.
Once you exclude the stretches of shore occupied by private beach clubs, there is very little space left where you can simply spread a towel. Here is our complete guide to the free public beaches on Capri, complete with some tips to enjoy your day on the water's edge to the max!
The Best Places to Pick Up Picnic Supplies:
- Da Aldo: deli in Marina Grande. Aldo prepares the most famous traditional "panini capresi" on the island. There is always a bit of a line in the morning, but it's worth the wait! Cost: EUR 5 per panino (they are often big enough for two people!)
- Capri Pasta: take away in Capri town. If you are in the center of Capri, this take away deli on Via Parrocco Canale near the Piazzetta has hot and cold prepared dishes.
- El Merendero: kiosk on the Marina Piccola beach with excellent panini and sangria.
- Snack bar da Antonio: landmark café at the Punta Carena lighthouse, famous for its caponata salad (croutons tossed with mozzarella, tomatoes, and other seasonal ingredients).
Free Public Beaches in Marina Grande
The free beach in Marina Grande is the easiest to reach by foot from the port, as it is located right behind the ferry ticket office. Though it is quite near the commercial port, the water is always clean. This beach is suitable for kids and you'll find it crowded with local families. It gets sun all day long.
- kid-friendly
- easy to reach by foot
- morning to evening
Otherwise, there is the small Palazzo a Mare beach, which can be reached by following the path which begins near the "Da Paolino" restaurant, in the upper part of Marina Grande. There is a small, protected cove and is again perfect for kids.
- kid-friendly
- accessible by foot path
- morning to evening
Free Public Beaches in Marina Piccola
In Marina Piccola , there are two small beaches near the Scoglio delle Sirene. They are always very crowded, as the water is particularly clear and there is a gorgeous view over the Faraglioni. These are also suitable for children. The only drawback: they are in shadow from mid-afternoon on. You can get to Marina Piccola using the Via Mulo stairs or by bus from the center of Capri.
- kid-friendly
- good for early risers
- accessible by stairs or bus
Gradola (near the Blue Grotto, Anacapri)
Gradola isn't a true beach, but rather a rocky stretch of coast where you can dive directly into the water (there are also ladders to get up and down). It is located near the Blue Grotto and the water is always very clean. You can get there using the Grotta Azzurra bus route which leaves from the center of Anacapri.
- best for adults
- near the Blue Grotto
- accessible by bus
The Punta Carena Lighthouse
If an islander wants to spend a day at the beach, they head to the Punta Carena lighthouse. Located at the far western edge of the island, this beach is at the foot of the largest lighthouse in Italy and is the only beach on Capri which gets sunlight until dusk. Here there are only rocky ledges and space is limited. If you don't want to lay your towel on hard rock, you can rent a sun chair inexpensively from da Antonio (the same which makes the famous caponata listed above!).
- best for adults
- good for late risers
- waterfront restaurant

Risk mitigation and compliance for the mortgage industry. When I talk shop my friends eyes usually gloss over and their minds start to drift.
I make sure that the lenders work in compliance and that they work with good associates.
The company I work for grew from under 35 people when I started... we are now over 800 employees in just a little over 5 years.
Oh, and we went public. Second largest IPO release in the past few years.

ChittaGong, Mar 8: Mercurial batsman Kevin Pietersen's injury-forced departure from the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 has posed a serious problem for England as they now grapple with names for the batsman to partner skipper Andrew Strauss at the top of the order. While Eion Morgan has been rushed in to as KP's cover, there has to be someone in the middle-order who has to move up and face the new ball. So who will it be?
England will next play Bangladesh on Mar 11 at ChittaGong and will seek to solve the problem before then as the group standings at this stage of the tournament do not provide them with enough room for experimentation.
In Matt Prior, they have a batsman who has previously donned the opener's role. But his last few outings weren't that impressive as a result KP was moved atop the order while Prior was dropped to the middle order to provide late innings impetus.
In the event that Prior is asked to revert back to his old slot, Morgan will have to come in at No.6 or No.7, which might just not suite his style of play. Though Morgan's big-hitting ability is beyond doubt, but the question remains as to how effective can he be when he is asked to go slam-bang or may be at times when he has to rally around with the tail.
Now that leaves them with the option of Ravi Bopara, who has so far been impressive in the tournament. And since he has the experience of opening in T20 games, he can also be counted to provide the thrust required at the top of the order. The middle-order spot left vacant in his promotion to the top of the order can be taken over by Morgan who can attack or defend depending upon the situation.
KP's injury came at a crucial juncture for England as the QF berths are still up for grabs and England's shock loss to Ireland has made it a tad bit difficult for them. It now remains to be seen if Bopara gets the nod to open the innings or do the Poms go for the hard-hitting Prior.
Going by Strauss' and Flower's penchance to ring in surprises, there are chances that they may even ask Ian Bell to open the innings, though at the moment it looks highly unlikely.
England will be more than eager to sort the issue and focus on winning the match, so that they can inch another step closer to the quarter-final berth.

Things to Do in Kemi - Itineraries
About Kemi
1) The Ice Breaker CruiseKemi is a small town situated on the banks of 'The Gulf of Bothania'. During winters, this part of the Baltic sea gets frozen due to the minimal salt content in the sea. We were in Kemi to break some ice. The Sampo Ice-Breaker Cruise is a 4 hour cruise through the frozen Baltic Sea. During the cruise, we were given a complete tour of the ship, served brunch and experienced the vastness of the frozen Baltic sea! And guess what! We were even given diploma certificates upon completion of the Ice-Breaker Cruise.

This is the only show I ever saw where they had to give you a handout at the end explaining everything -- it was that confusing. Skip it.
How can this be the longest running play? I think the lead has been performing in this role for toooo long. TIme to move on. I suggest passing on this one!
I had never fallen asleep during a theater performance until I saw "The Perfect Crime" this summer. Plot is convoluted, acting is hackneyed and actors are poorly miced. Whoever markets this is a genius because I have no idea how its been running for as long as it has been. Avoid!
Most boring show Ive been, Confusing. Regretted my experience. Dont go, you will waste your money!
I was very disappointed with this play. It read better on the flyer then it did live in the theater. The lead actress who I thought was new to the play was too loud, mechanical and not believable at all. I wasn?t aware till the end of the play that she?s been acting in the play since opening night over 25 years ago. The play takes a few twist and turns but nothing good enough for the play to run for such a long period of time. I definitely will not be recommending this play to anyone. It?s way over priced for what you get.
The plot was a little confusing, acting not bad though romantic connection not believable.

Last night ABC News had an "expert" fund manager yelling that "right now it's impossible for anyone to get a mortgage," which is blatantly false and not what the data say. (Stunts like that earned ABC a boycott from me for the rest of the week).
Mark J. Perry posted these charts yesterday which illustrate that very recently consumer loans, commercial loans at large industrial banks, and real estate loans were at an all time high and moving on a very upward trend. However, you can see on Dr. Perry's charts that things start to level off right at the end of the timeline... and most of these data are already outdated.
Rebecca Wilder posts similarly but then discovers an important issue in the data:
In her words:
The chart illustrates weekly consumer loans broken up into revolving credit (credit cards) and "other" types of consumer loans. Revolving loans account for the smaller share of total consumer loans, roughly 40%, and have been accelerating since July. On the other hand, other loans account for the larger share of total consumer loans, roughly 60%, and have been either constant or falling since the end of July. Therefore, revolving credit has been the driving factor in recent consumer loan growth.
The very end of the timeline, where the two lines cross, tells us that people are seeing the end of access to traditional loans and are instead resorting to credit cards. And as more people do that, the credit card companies get stretched and have begun to raise interest rates, further increasing the cost of borrowing.
So, while the "credit crunch" has been prematurely hyped by the media it appears to be here and will show up as newer data come available.
When will Main Street really start to feel it? A week? A month? I don't know.
Oddly enough, despite yesterday's chaos today was relatively calm. The Volatility Index regressed to a less-frightening level, the TED spread also declined, and the yields on Treasury Bills increased while the yield curve for U.S. Treasuries assumed a steeper slope than what was present at 5pm EST the day Congress voted "No." All of that points to an improving market, not one in decline.
Was that because Congress said they'd try again and get it right this time? Maybe. Was that because the Fed started increasing the money supply and Treasury acted on their part to buy some bad assets anyway under an old housing law? Maybe.
The main question I have for any economist who might drop by here is:
Does it matter that banks aren't lending to each other anymore since they're all now borrowing more cheaply from central banks? What incentive do they have to borrow from each other when the discount rates worldwide are so low?
Someone else has talked about there still being "good bridges" out there -- ie: healthy lenders able to make loans to credit-worthy borrowers. The trick is just for borrowers to find them, it's more difficult for the two to connect now. Seeing as how that seems to be the case, why should we worry? Shouldn't the market eventually bring the borrowers and the healthy lenders together?
Those are my questions.

A topic I saw recently in a comment interested me, and got me thinking about the old The Last Airbender movie by M. Night, widely regarded by the fanbase here as a failure. It also got me thinking about film adaptations of books and series' in general. I don't want to beat a dead horse, so I'll broaden this beyond a rant on the ATLA movie. I'll be touching upon the few book/series adaptation movies I've seen, and discussing which one I think is the worst.
Before I start the blog, though, I'd like to say something. If any of you've seen my Nostalgiblog series and were wondering where it went, I'm sorry for not keeping my word to do weekly posts. I was going to do one, but I started feeling sick and stressed out, and my homework load started piling up...I'll try and restart the series eventually, but for now, the discussion is movies.
The Bad
I've heard many rants about how Dragonball: Evolution is probably one of the worst movies ever and a disgrace to the name Dragonball; I haven't had the (mis)fortune to see the movie yet, so I really have nothing to say on that, but I'll take everyone's word that it is one of the worst movie adaptations in all of history. My personal least favorite movie adaptation was, in fact, M. Night's monstrosity he calls a work of art. You're all entitled to your own opinion, but I saw it as full of dry, wooden acting, cringe-worthy lines, decent at best effects, a sporadic, hard to follow plot, hard to care for and underdeveloped characters, and, to top it all off, a disappointing climax. And that's on its own, apart from the show.
The Misunderstood
The Percy Jackson movie is similar in being unfaithful to its roots, but different on its own. If you don't know what Percy Jackson is, it's basically a series about how the Greek gods did, in fact, exist, and are still alive today, in modern America, having children with mortals; these children are dubbed demigods, or "half-bloods." They fight monsters, they go on quests, occasionally they save the world, but here, they're mostly under 18 years old. Back to the movie, it completely rewrote the story, making a minor point in the book the focus of the journey, changing plenty about the main characters, and even dropping some crucial aspects of the full series. But, on its own, it wasn't that bad of a movie. The actors we're decent for the most part (except for Annabeth, with horribly cheesy lines and an intimidating stare), a followable plot, some development, and pretty great effects (like the Underworld, which I thought looked great, but was a bit over the top). The plot was made to be more followable, instead of just a group of teens struggling to make their way west, with horrible stuff going on everywhere around them. The movie's plot was more linear, and made it seem the group was going into the trouble, not that the trouble was coming to them.
The Great
Now I'm going to talk about some adaptations that did work, but each for different reasons than the other. I'm sure you've all heard of Harry Potter, a boy who finds out he's a wizard and that he's the "chosen one," destined to defeat the Dark Lord, which he does in the end (after losing half of the people he cares about). Most of the time, the movie stayed accurate to the books, but it had some parts removed or added. Most of what was removed, from what I understand, were things about the characters' backstories, or explaining in detail an aspect of the plot, which doesn't translate well to the big screen. You want to keep emotions flying; feelings of anticipation, anxiety, happiness, excitement, etc. And, in the end, it worked wonderfully.
Secondly, I'd like to talk about one of my all-time favorite films, How to Train Your Dragon. This is the story of a wimpy, outcast of a teen viking named Hiccup, trying to find his place in life; he goes on to be the first viking to train, ride, and befriend a dragon, uniting the dragons and vikings as allies. This movie, without a doubt, was brilliantly well done; I seriously felt for and related to Hiccup throughout the film, and was on the edge of my seat for the entire rising action and climax. This was, however, radically different from the book series it was based on. The books are obviously meant for young children, not a family audience. There was no love interest, no intense action; it was more along the lines of cute, simple, easy to read and process issues. This, honestly, would have been boring and unexciting if they stayed along the book's plot. The change was necessary and amazingly well done.
The End (finally)
Congratulations if you made it through all of that; I really can type for a while...But seriously, thanks for reading. Feel free to comment on anything I've said in the entire blog. Feel free to agree or disagree with anything I've said above; all I ask is that you keep it civil and respectful, and on topic. In addition, please post below which film you think is the worst (and/or best) adaptation of a book or TV series you've ever seen (Don't go into comics, like Batman, though). Thank you all, and I'll see you again soon.

Hong Kong (AFP) Jan 27, 2014
A factory which processes around 600 whale sharks annually has been found in southern China, a conservation group said Monday, calling it the world's biggest slaughterhouse for the endangered species.
Hong Kong-based conservation group WildLifeRisk said it discovered the factory in the town of Pu Qi in Zhejiang province after a four-year investigation.
It said the sharks are slaughtered and processed mostly to produce shark oil for health supplements.
Undercover video footage produced by the group showed workers cutting up the large dotted back fins of whale sharks and other shark species.
"How these harmless creatures, these gentle giants of the deep, can be slaughtered on such an industrial scale is beyond belief," said a WildLifeRisk statement sent to AFP.
"It's even more incredible that this carnage is all for the sake of non-essential lifestyle props such as lipsticks, face creams, health supplements and shark fin soup."
The slaughterhouse also handles other species of sharks including blue sharks and basking sharks and produces 200 tonnes of shark oil annually from the three species, its owner -- identified only as Li -- said in the video.
Li also said he needed to "smuggle" whale shark skin out.
In another segment of the video, a man identified as Li's brother said the whale shark skins are exported to European countries such as Italy and France, where they are used by Chinese restaurants.
Whale sharks measure as much as 12 metres (39 feet) but are harmless to humans and feed on tiny marine animals.
They are on the "Red List" of endangered species drawn up by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature.
They are also listed on Appendix II of the UN's Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), meaning countries must show that any exports were derived from a sustainably managed population.
Exports and imports should also be monitored.

Excellent outcomes among HIV+ children on ART, but unacceptably high pre-ART mortality and losses to follow-up: a cohort study from Cambodia
Although HIV program evaluations focusing on mortality on ART provide important evidence on treatment effectiveness, they do not asses overall HIV program performance because they exclude patients who are eligible but not started on ART for whatever reason. The objective of this study was to measure mortality that occurs both pre-ART and during ART among HIV-positive children enrolled in two HIV-programs in Cambodia.
Retrospective cohort study on 1168 HIV-positive children <15 years old registered in two HIV-programs over a four-year period. Mortality rates were calculated for both children on treatment and children not started on ART.
Over half (53%) of children were 5 years or above and only 69(6%) were <18 months. Overall, 9% (105/1168) of children died since the set-up of the programs. By the end of the observation period, 66(14.5%) patients not on ART had died compared to 39(5.5%) of those under treatment, and 100(22%) who did not start ART were lost-to-follow-up compared to13(2%) on ART. 66/105 (62.8%) of all in-program deaths occurred before starting ART, of which 56% (37/66) and 79% (52/66) occurred within 3 and 6 months of enrolment respectively. Mortality rate ratio between children not on ART and children on ART was 4.1 (95%CI: 2.7–6.2) (P < 0.001). The most common contributing cause of death in first 3 months of treatment and in first 3 months of program enrollment was tuberculosis. 41/52 (79%) children who died within 6 months of enrollment had met the ART eligibility criteria before death.
HIV-positive children experienced a high mortality and loss-to-follow-up rates before starting ART. These program outcomes may be improved by a more timely ART initiation. Measuring overall in-program mortality as opposed to only mortality on ART is recommended in order to more accurately evaluate pediatric HIV-programs performance.
Anti-retroviral treatment (ART) significantly decreases mortality and pediatric HIV care programs in resource-limited settings achieve treatment outcomes similar to those in industrialized countries
Thus the current "snapshot" is restrictive and little is known about deaths occurring prior to ART initiation (pre-ART mortality), which go unreported.
Information on such "hidden mortality" from programmatic settings could bring a better understanding on this issue and help identify ways to optimize monitoring and assessments of overall performance of pediatric HIV/AIDS programs.
In the past five years the Ministry of Health, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), and Angkor Hospital for Children (AHC) have been supporting pediatric HIV/AIDS care programs in Takeo and Siem Reap provinces in Cambodia. Overall, excellent clinical, immunological and virological outcomes under ART were achieved in these two pediatric cohorts
We conducted a retrospective analysis of program data in order to measure mortality occurring both before (pre-ART) and during ART among HIV-positive children enrolled for HIV/AIDS care in two hospitals in Cambodia.
Study setting and population
The study was conducted in the pediatric HIV clinics of the Angkor Hospital for Children (AHC) a charity hospital located in Siem Reap province (population 700 000), and in Donkeo Referral Hospital, a public facility in Takeo province (population 800 000). The majority of the population live in rural areas and their socioeconomic status is very low. All children <15 years of age with confirmed HIV-positive status registered in these two HIV programs from January 2003 until December 31 2007 were included in the study. Children switched at any time to second line therapy were also included in the analysis.
The HIV clinics are located within the hospital and operate on an out-patient basis, providing doctor-based clinical care and follow-up by a multi-disciplinary team including counselors, drug-educators and nurses. Most patients are self-referred or referred by private or public health facilities in the province. In both study locations a prevention of mother to child transmission (PMTCT) program was in place albeit with limited coverage. On average, one fifth of children enrolled in the program in Takeo entered through the PMTCT program (no data available for Siem Reap location). Virological testing (detection of plasma HIV-1 RNA by RT PCR) for HIV diagnosis in children younger than 18 months of age was made available during the year 2006. Prior to that time, children were identified as having presumptive HIV infection on the basis of clinical signs and symptoms, with diagnosis confirmed by antibody testing at 18 months.
The patient assessment at first consultation included a history and physical examination as well as determination of clinical disease stage using CDC clinical categories
At each visit a standardized admission or follow up sheet was filled in by the doctor.
An active tracing system for patients who failed to attend a clinic appointment was set-up, and included home visits and additional counseling sessions. Due to limited resources, such defaulter tracing system was reserved mainly for children who were initiated on ART.
ART eligibility, regimens and treatment outcomes
Criteria to start ART in HIV-positive children were: WHO stage 3/4 or CDC stage C or CD4 < 200 cells/mm3 (for individual ≥ 5 years of age) or CD4% < 20.0% in Siem Reap (for individuals < 5 years of age) or CD4% < 15.0% in Takeo (for < 5 years of age). As of 2006 protocols were standardized for both locations and the new WHO criteria were used (CD4 < 200 cells/mm3 for children ≥ 5 years, CD4% < 15% for children 36–59 months, and CD4% < 20% for children 12–35 months)
In one clinic at the beginning of the program a maximum of five children per month were started on ART due to limited capacity for follow-up, creating a backlog of patients.
The majority of patients were started on a standard first-line regimen of stavudine, lamivudine and nevirapine. Zidovudine and efavirenz were used as alternatives in case of intolerance or interaction with other drugs. Patients and caregivers received at least three ART-preparation counseling sessions, one week apart, before starting treatment. Potential reasons for deferral of treatment included active opportunistic infection(s), lack of caregiver readiness or a failure to attend consecutive follow-up appointments indicating potentially problematic adherence to treatment.
Outcomes were standardized and included: alive and on active follow-up, died, transferred out, and lost-to-follow-up (>3 months) (LTFU). Most transfers took place after 2005 as new pediatric HIV clinics started operating in the country. All medical services were offered free of charge for HIV-positive children and additional support was provided by various Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) including transportation, accommodation and food allowance.
Data management and statistical analysis
Information from structured patient files, admission and follow up sheets, were entered routinely by data clerks into a HIV-specific database (FUCHIA 1.6.0 developed by EPICENTRE, Paris, France. (available at
To accommodate for the fact that immunological criteria for severe HIV immunodeficiency were age-specific, we created a categorical variable describing the presence of severe immunodeficiency according to the WHO 2006 criteria (18–35 months: <20% CD4% or <750 CD4 count; 36–59 months: <15% CD4% or <350 CD4 count; ≥ 59 months: <15% CD4% or <200 CD4 count). As both the CDC clinical staging system and the WHO staging system were used by the programs, WHO stages 3 and 4 were grouped together with CDC grade C as an indicator of advanced AIDS disease. Date of ART eligibility was calculated for each patient using the CD4-based ART initiation criteria and information from the patient file. The most likely attributable cause of death of each patient was assigned based on the last diagnosis available in patient records.
Person-time analysis was used for the mortality rate. The observation period went up to April 2008 when the data set was censored. We provided the outcomes at 1 year after enrollment. Data analysis was performed using STATA 8.2 software (Stata Corporation, College Station, Texas, USA).
As this was a retrospective study using program data, informed consent from individual patients was not obtained. The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Review Board of Médecins Sans Frontières and by the Institutional Review Board of Angkor Hospital for Children.
Enrolment, follow up and main outcomes
1168 HIV-positive children were registered in the two HIV clinics between January 2003 and December 2007, and included in the analysis. Over half (53%) of children were 5 years or above and only 69 (6%) were less than 18 months. 148 (27%) children ≥ 5 years had first CD4 lymphocyte count < 50 cell/μl (data available for 87% of children). 164 (41%) children aged 18–59 months had first CD4 lymphocyte percentage < 15% (data available for 88% of children).

CD4 count and %: measured within 120 days after date of registration or HIV status confirmation
During the study period, 714 (61%) children started ART. The median period of observation for patients not receiving ART was 11 months (IQR 2.4–25). Among the 454 patients who did not start ART, 66 (14.5%) had died, 100 (22%) were lost-to-follow-up, 40(9%) were transferred out, and 248 (55%) were still enrolled in the program and on active follow-up.
For children who started ART, the median interval between registration and ART initiation was 4.7 months (IQR 2.5–8.8). The median period of observation under treatment was 2 years (IQR 0.9–3.0). By the end of the observation period 39 (5.5%) patients under treatment had died, 13 (2%) were lost-to-follow-up, 61 (8.5%) were transferred to other programs, and 601 (84.2%) were still alive and on follow up.
The main outcomes of children who started ART and those who never started ART after 1 year of enrollment in the HIV care program are shown in Figure

ART eligibility of patients with early death
In order to investigate whether the early deaths among patients not treated could have been prevented by earlier treatment, we looked at whether patients had met the ART eligibility criteria before death and the time between eligibility and death. Out of 52 children not on ART who died within 6 months after enrolment, 41 (79%) had fulfilled the ART eligibility criteria at some point of time. Fourteen (27%) of them died within 0–30 days after eligibility criteria were met, 13 (25%) between 31–60 days, 5 (10%) between 61–90 days, and 9 (17%) after 90 days.
Fourteen children (13% of all deaths) died within the first month after admission and prior to ART initiation. Median age was 49 months (IQR: 27–78).
Children lost to follow-up prior to ART initiation
Among 454 children who never started ART, 100 (22%) children were lost-to-follow-up within the first six months after registration, of whom 26 only came for one consultation. As there was no active tracing of these patients, eventual deaths occurring at home could not be ascertained. Baseline characteristics of the children lost-to-follow-up were: median CD4 count 402 (IQR: 22–664) and CD4% 18.3 (IQR: 4.1–23.6) (for children ≥ 60 and <60 months respectively), 45 had W/A z-score <-3, 73 lived outside the province, 93 were aged 18 months or above, and 72 were registered before 2006.
Cause of early death
Contributing causes of very early death were assigned for all children not started on ART and for 16/20 children on ART. Among children not receiving ART, the most common illnesses contributing to death were tuberculosis (15 children, 41%), lower respiratory tract infections (9 children, 24%), diarrhea (4, 11%) and wasting syndrome/severe malnutrition (4 children, 11%). Among children on ART, tuberculosis was the most common illness (7 children, 44%) and respiratory tract infections (4 children, 25%).
In this study looking at in-program mortality in a large cohort of HIV-positive children enrolled in hospital-based HIV programs in two provinces of Cambodia, we found that although on-ART mortality was low, the pre-treatment mortality and losses to follow-up were unacceptably high. More than 6 out of every 10 deaths and almost 9 out of every 10 children lost to follow up occurring after enrollment in the HIV/AIDS programs happened among children not yet started on ART. Loss to follow up was significantly higher among non-treated children than among children on antiretroviral treatment. We suspect that many of the children lost-to-follow-up eventually died and it is likely that all these deaths were not accounted for in this group of patients. Mortality was, therefore, possibly underestimated due to misclassification of unascertained patient deaths as lost-to-follow-up.
Interestingly, among patients not started on ART, we found that there were 73/100 cases LTFU who lived outside the province and 161/354 (45.5%) cases not LTFU who lived outside the province (OR 3.2; 95%CI: 1.96–5.36); P < 0.001). Age and sex were not associated with LTFU (data not shown). This suggests that longer travelling distances made access to care more difficult to the point that children stopped coming back for consultation.
Despite the higher mortality rate for children not started on ART recorded in our program, the mortality rate was much lower than that for HIV-infected children measured among Zambian children prior to availability of ART
Mortality among children on treatment in our program was low and comparable to other settings of high HIV prevalence
TB prevalence is high in Cambodia at 665 per 100 000 persons per year
Most of the children who died before starting treatment had met the ART eligibility criteria (41/46), and could thus have started ART before the time of death. Overall, the average time to initiate ART (median of 4.7 months) in the program was relatively long, although comparable to community-based HIV programs in South Africa
From our experience we were able to identify three categories of reasons for delays in treatment initiation: first, delays in confirming HIV infection and enrolment in the HIV/AIDS care program for HIV-exposed and infected children (A & B in Figure
Figure 3
Delays and deaths in pediatric HIV/AIDS care
Delays and deaths in pediatric HIV/AIDS care.
Measures that contribute to minimizing these delays are urgently needed to help reduce the pre-treatment mortality and, possibly, the high loss-to-follow-up rates. Measures to speed up admission to the HIV clinic include early diagnosis and an efficient referral process. This implies the scale-up of HIV testing among infants and young children, in all out-patient services and in hospital wards, systematic HIV screening of children diagnosed with TB and overall an efficient prevention of mother-to-child-transmission program. Systematic DNA PCR testing in newborns is becoming increasingly available and would promote early HIV diagnosis and referrals for ART.
Delays in initiating ART after enrolment to the program could be minimized by the following:
1. Preparatory ART sessions could be scheduled as soon as the diagnosis of HIV infection is made and before ART eligibility criteria are met.
2. Access to CD4 measurements needs to be improved and CD4 monitoring optimized to facilitate timely initiation of ART: more frequent serial CD4 counts, and rapid feedback of results from laboratory. Should there be delays in CD4 measurements, clinical criteria for presumptive diagnosis of severe HIV disease should be used to initiate ART
3. A fast-track channel for children first admitted with advanced disease should be set-up: as soon ART eligibility is established, prompt recall of patient should be made without waiting for their next scheduled appointment.
4. If resources are available, a tracing system that is inclusive of all children (not just those on ART) missing a clinic appointment could help reduce loss-to-follow-up prior to ART initiation.
Strengths of this study include the large number of patients and the fact that data came from a program setting, thereby reflecting the operational reality on the ground.
However, there are certain limitations to the study. First, not all causes of death were reliably ascertained. Nevertheless, the level of error in attributing the cause of death was limited, as both HIV-programs were situated within a provincial referral hospital and medical doctors performed all consultations. Second, the not-treated patient group had a higher lost to follow-up rate than the on-treatment patient group (22% versus 1.8%) so there were likely more unreported deaths in the not-treated group. Consequently, the mortality rate ratio between the two groups would be underestimated.
The relatively low mortality observed among children on ART in these two pediatric treatment programs suggests that these programs are providing effective care. However, high in-program deaths and losses-to-follow-up prior to ART initiation highlights the fact that relying solely on ART outcomes as an indictor to assess program effectiveness provides a distorted view of the overall performance of pediatric HIV-care. Finally, we were not able to systematically document reasons for delaying treatment. Our findings warrant a separate investigation on specific reasons for ART delay including multivariate analysis of parameters associated with non-treatment.
This study has shown that the measurement of in-program mortality helps reveal obstacles in the provision of care to HIV-positive children. It highlights challenges that remain to be tackled in order to further optimize the care for these children. Further studies should be done to look at effective ways of reducing the delay to ART initiation after meeting ART criteria and also whether less stringent criteria for starting ART would lead to better outcomes.

MiCBT for Chronic Conditions, Crisis Intervention and Relapse Prevention Workshop
Mindfulness involves paying attention to what is being experienced in the present moment, with a non-judgmental and non-reactive attitude. Over a decade of careful research has led to the recognition among CBT researchers and clinicians that integrating mindfulness training with cognitive and behavioural interventions is a potent contribution to the treatment of a wide range of disorders. There is also evidence that the practice of mindfulness by therapists decreases their mental fatigue and the frequency of burnout and increases therapist effectiveness. Mindfulness-integrated Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (MiCBT) is an evidence-based sophisticated integration of mindfulness core principles and traditional CBT. MiCBT consists of a four-stage treatment model applicable for a wide range of conditions and ages. It is based on the combination of traditional establishment of mindfulness (Burmese Vipassana tradition) with solid and well-established principles of cognitive and behavioural traditions in the West.
The aim of this workshop is to introduce the integration of mindfulness training with core principles of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy to improve our way of addressing chronic conditions, crisis and prevent relapse in a wide range of psychological disorders. It will describe the important theoretical framework underlying MiCBT and introduce participants to the use of these skills across a wide range of chronic and acute conditions.
This workshop will expand our common understanding of operant conditioning and provide a strong neuro-behavioural basis for integrating mindfulness training with traditional CBT.
No prior knowledge of mindfulness is assumed, but basic skills in cognitive and behavioural techniques are required. MiCBT is a mindfulness-based therapy specifically designed to address clinical and subclinical conditions. As such, only registered and currently practising psychologists, psychiatrists, general practitioners (mental health - level 2), mental health social workers, mental health occupational therapists, mental health nurses and professionally qualified counsellors and psychotherapists may apply.
Learning Objectives
Workshop content will involve practical and experiential components. You will learn:
- Principles and skills in mindfulness practice
- Theoretical fundamentals of mindfulness training
- The use of mindfulness meditation to neutralise operant conditioning and improve therapeutic efficacy
- How to engage the client in the treatment plan
- The four stages of MiCBT
- The use of mindfulness-based exposure skills
- The use of mindfulness-based interpersonal skills
- The use of mindfulness-based relapse prevention strategies.
Teaching Approach
The workshop will involve learning material through various modalities, including:
- Lecture sections with power-point
- Guided practice of mindfulness meditation
- Role-play
- Group discussions
- Video demonstrations of MiCBT skills with clients during real-life therapy sessions

Dr. Peter MacLean, Psychologist, Ottawa, Canada commented on 22-Jun-2013 11:27 AM
Dr. Bruno Cayoun's MiCBT model represents one of the best applications of the quintessentially important concept of balance. MiCBT brilliantly integrates the heart of Western psychology, CBT, with the 2500-year tradition of Eastern mindfulness. This theoretical integration is, in my opinion, among the best thinking in the field today. If sufficient research is carried out to support this integration, the result could contribute to a revolution in the field of mental health.

|Chills? Bundle Up for the Cold!
Photo credit Stuart Miles Freedigitalphotos.net
Blankets and Throws: curl up with a good book and a fluffy blanket. There are several styles that are particularly comfy. Plush fleece, high pile (I love this Jungle Theme Blanket for kids), and soft mink (not real mink but very luxurious).
Corn Bags: these nifty little bean bags are often filled with corn or some kind of grain. Microwave the bag and use it as a heating pad. If you like your feet to be warm at night, slip one in your bed and be cozy warm all night long! (Note: do not over-warm it.)
Bundle Up: when going outdoors in cold climates, dress warm and in layers. Remember your hat/hood, warm coat, insulated gloves or mittens, warm shoes or boots and a scarf.
Draft Guard: if you're the thrifty, home improvement type, ending the drafts is on your mind! Get a "draft stopper" for your outside doors. You'll feel the heat staying in and save on your utility bill in the process!
Heating Pads: they come in the standard flat style or for your neck & shoulders but heating pads will do the trick!
Fuzzy Slippers: when your feet are warm enough, the rest of you will feel much warmer as well. Try some fur lined slippers. So soft and your feet will be warm!
|Electric Fireplaces Keep You Warm and Glowing!
Space Heater: when used properly, an electric space heater can really take the chill out of a room. Be sure to read the directions and use them properly to avoid accidents or fire.
|Hot Coffee!

Snuggie: along the same line as a cozy blankie, a Snuggie is a blanket that you wear! They come in blue, pink, camel, camoflage, leopard, zebra and others. You can also get Snuggies for Kids including Princess, Youth NFL and Spiderman Snuggies! (Check out the video below for Snuggies for DOGS!)
Take a Hot Shower: take a long, luxurious bath or shower in very warm water and, after drying off, put on some comfy pj's or sweats to keep the heat in!
Cuddle with Someone You Love: this may be the best idea of all. When you get out that fuzzy blanket and set a roaring fire in the fireplace, cuddle up with your honey. No honey? Let the dog up on the couch. She'll cuddle with you! :)
And, yes, there are SNUGGIES FOR DOGS! Yup! Catch a glimpse in this video! (Reading this in an email? Just click on the title to go to the blogpost to see the video.)

A Honey-Do list in Kerio Workspace
Kerio® Workspace is no longer sold or available as a free edition. However, everything mentioned here can be done with Kerio Samepage, which is available through me at a reduced price..
I've never been satisfied with any of the ways we've tried to handle 'honey-do' lists in our house. Maybe Kerio Workspace will be the answer?
Kerio® Workspace is no longer sold or available as a free edition. However, everything mentioned here can be done with Kerio Samepage, which is available through me at a reduced price..
I've never been satisfied with any of the ways we've tried to handle 'honey-do' lists in our house. Maybe Kerio Workspace will be the answer?
In case you don't know, a "honey-do" list is just a list of things that need to be done around the house. It has a rather sexist history as the image is that of a helpless housewife asking her very capable husband "Honey, would you do this?". That's not what it is in our house: for us, it's just the list of stuff that needs to get done, no matter who actually does them. I call it a "honey-do" list only because my wife's physical disabilities do mean that a lot of it falls to me, so it is much more "my" list than hers.
I've written a few other articles about how you might use the free Starter Edition of Kerio Workspace for personal needs rather than business. This one is a little different because I'm not sure that it actually is a great use of this tool.
On the other hand, I've never been happy with any of the other ways my wife and I have tried to handle these things in our forty-five years of marriage.
There was a time when we did this on a physical pieces of paper, including multiple "stickies" plastered here and there to remind us (well, to remind me, honestly) that certain things needed attention. That just doesn't work. The paper disappears, the stickies are their own form of clutter and much of this stuff is repetitive anyway, so crossing it out or taking down a stickie only means that the task has to be written down again.
It's really a scheduling problem
It struck me sometime ago that the issue is not really remembering that things need to be done, but rather scheduling them so that they get done at the correct intervals. Smoke detector batteries need to be changed once a year, but the living room needs dusting just a little more often.
Google Calendar Reminders
We started putting things on the calendar and when Google Calendar came out, I started using that. It was helpful: I could schedule repeating reminders for things that need to be done every week, every month and every year. I'd have it send me email to remind me to "Clean the Kitchen" and so on.
By the way, I'm not talking about the daily stuff of loading the dishwasher and wiping down counters. That stuff is a given every day. What I mean is the kind of dusting and cleaning underneath, behind, on top of, and inside of everything that you don't do every single day but does need to be done on some regular schedule. This is deep cleaning.
So the Google Calendar reminders help, but they aren't enough. For example, yesterday my wife mentioned that we'd be having company this weekend and that I should give the living room a thorough going-over. She was concerned that I wouldn't have time as she looked over my work schedule for the coming week.
I expressed some surprise as I had actually done all that cleaning and more just the day before - hadn't she noticed?
Well, no, she hadn't. She'd been out while I did all that and had been tired when she got home, so she simply had not noticed. She didn't know the work was already done.
You might now be thinking of those Google Calendar reminders: why wouldn't she know when the living room was cleaned? The Google email reminders say when it was done, right?
Well, no. Demands from my business might prevent me from getting it done on that specific day. That highlights a problem with the email reminder method: they are easy to ignore when dozens of work related emails drown them out.
That made me think of Workspace. Could Workspace give us something better? I thought perhaps it could.
There are a couple of ways to approach this. We could just use text, effectively just typing in a list and editing it as things are done. Or each task could be a list and the dates that it has been done could be added to the text. That would work, but that wouldn't make things stand out as they might if I used something else.
Of course the first thing I thought of was to use Task Lists. These chores are tasks, so that certainly makes sense.
However, I did not care for the esthetics of that. Tasks lists just didn't look good to me. I decided to try Event Lists instead.
I like the way that looks. What I'm doing is setting the date to when I last did the particular work, not when I expect to do it next. At a glance, this tells both me and my wife how recently any chore has been done. That's more useful than showing a future date because it imparts urgency when it is too far in the past.
It would be better if Workspace could do the email nagging and of course better still if I could set a "too long" period for each event that would cause events to get shuffled to the top, turn them another color and trigger more emails. Maybe when Kerio completes their API for Workspace such things will become possible. For now I think it works well enough in conjunction with the email reminders. Or so I think right now. Whether it actually will be an improvement remains to be seen.
Got something to add? Send me email.

60ft Dolls "The Big 3"
Ed eccoli qui i miei cari 60Ft Dolls. Ho sempre amato questo gruppo. Mi piacevano le loro chitarre sparate, le loro melodie trascinanti, quella faccia da 3 ragazzi duri e tosti ma che in realtà avevano anche un cuore tenero. Insomma, questo disco me lo sono ascoltato per bene e anche adesso, almeno i singoli, fanno ancora avere un bel sussulto.
Sotto un pò di citazioni e recensioni del disco da Wikipedia e una recensione presa da internet, anche se il piatto forte sono le parole spietate di Super Piero Scaruffi, che ovviamente legna duro. (1996 Indolent)
Ps...curiosità, Richard Parfitt è anche lo scopritore di Duffy!!
"60 Ft Dolls e` il nome di un complesso gallese che suona hard-rock melodico con uno stile preso in prestito dai Jam (ovvero reminescente del rhythm and blues bianco degli anni '60). Il chitarrista Richard Parfitt guida il trio di numeri garage-punk che uscirono su singolo e che sono raccolti sull'altrimenti insipido The Big 3 (DGC, 1997): Happy Shopper, N.1 Pure Alcohol e Pig Valentine. Riffs che avete sentito centinaia di volte, ritornelli che sono tanto originali quanto una pizza margherita." (Piero Scaruffi)
".....This was followed by their debut album, The Big 3, which was called "[a]s close to soar-away rock perfection as it's possible to imagine" by the NME[ and "[p]ure, unadulterated, no nonsense, emotional, tuneful, impassioned, purposeful, hedonistic rock 'n' roll" by Melody Maker. The album was included in Mojo's 2003 retrospective feature "Top 12 Britpop albums of the 90s", which called it "a devilishly evocative document of the period"." (Wikipedia)
"The 60ft Dolls hail from Newport, Wales, and those of you familiar with the British music scene will already be aware of a small "Welsh invasion" of sorts taking place at the moment. Fortunately, the quality of the bands in question has been fairly fresh and original (to wit the Manics, Super Furry Animals, Gorky's Zygotic Mynci) when compared to the morass of usual Britpop suspects clogging the U-bend of the UK charts. Unfortunately, however, this has raised our expectations and set the 60ft Dolls up for an even bigger fall.
Not that the album doesn't begin promisingly enough. "Happy Shopper" shows that the Dolls have been doing their power-pop homework (i.e. listening to the Jam) and have a keen sense of observation when it comes to the drudgery of life in a backwater town, much in the spirit of Paul Weller or Bruce Springsteen, if not in the style. Plus they carry it across with enough verve to ensure that one day, you too will be screaming "Werraghappehsho-PAHZ!!!" in the shower.
The first crack in the Dolls' facade, though, comes with "Pig Valentine." That this was declared by the New York Times to be the 1995 single of the year only serves to underline the fact that New York's credibility disappeared up its own ass sometime in the early eighties. To put it bluntly, this is the sound of Petula Clark being shagged senseless by Green Day. In Hell.
It's at about this point that Springsteen makes a quick exit and is replaced in spirit by that other notable export from New Jersey. You know the one. The one whose name begins with "Bon" and ends with "Jovi." Oh, scoff as you will, just don't come crying to me when you listen to the Dolls rhyme "work it out" with "let it all hang out" or "sell your soul" with "let the good times roll" in the space of the same chorus during "Good Times." Or when, during the intro to "Streamlined," guitarist Richard Parfitt rips into a guitar solo so excruciatingly reminiscent of Gary Moore that you half expect them to be covering "Still Got the Blues for You."
Actually, I can't in all fairness pass the 60ft Dolls off as a cross between the Jam and Bon Jovi. No, there's some Aerosmith lurking in there as well. And in "Terminal Crash Fear," we get the Dolls' impression of what Bryan Adams thinks punk rock might sound like.
Listening to The Big 3, you get the impression that a well-meaning friend of the band told them that big hair and white leather rock 'n roll was on its way out and pointed them in the direction of a pile of Jam and Undertones albums. That is, too many influences from an earlier and best-forgotten time keep rising to the surface. With more than enough bands that can write note-perfect pop these days, the 60ft Dolls' expiry date seems fast approaching. One hopes that they might yet rise to the promise they show in "Happy Shopper" and prove me wrong." (Darren Gawle su http://dropd.com/issue/48/CD/60ftDolls/)
