Telenor India Modernizes 2,500 Sites Across Six Circles
NEW DELHI: Telenor India has modernized 2,500 sites across six circles to upgrade its existing network which will help it to launch high speed internet services in the coming years, a company statement said here on Thursday.
"The network modernization project will help us prepare to address the demand for high speed data as mobile internet will be the primary mode for consumers as services continue to get digital," Sharad Mehrotra, CEO Telenor India Communications, said.
The company on Thursday completed six years of operations in India.
Earlier this year, Telenor announced a program to swap its entire network of 24,000 base stations with state-of-the-art equipment by 2017.
In the first phase of the project, 5,000 sites are to be modernized by end of 2015. In addition to this, Telenor is also expanding its network in Bihar and Jharkhand by adding 950 sites.
"The network modernization programme shows our long term commitment to the India market. In a spectrum constrained and highly competitive business environment, the efficiencies we derive from the new network will help us maintain a cost efficient operation and be future ready to manage the increasing demand from our customers for data services," Mehrotra said.
Telenor's new network is being executed and managed by Huawei India.
The new equipment will increase spectral efficiency by 15% and improve in-door coverage by 15-20%, and also reduce power consumption by around 30%, the statement added.

As Fadel Duarte lay pinned underneath a pickup truck, he heard his father nearby screaming in pain.
He never saw the tan Ford Explorer SUV that came barreling at him and his father as they prepared Monday morning to lay concrete at a job site. The SUV crashed into father and son, pinning Duarte underneath and leaving Ismael Martinez with a nearly severed leg.
Then it continued on, without stopping.
"It was something that just shocked me," Duarte said Monday afternoon in Spanish from the family's Sweetwater home. "I couldn't react. I heard my dad's screams calling me. He was looking for me, in pain, but I couldn't see him because I was under the truck."
By Monday afternoon, doctors at Jackson Memorial's Ryder Trauma Center were scrambling to keep from amputating Martinez's mangled leg.
Meanwhile, police made an arrest late Monday after family members pleaded for the public's help in finding the driver. Johanna Cabrera, 31, was charged with leaving the scene of an accident with property damage and injuries, and driving without a license, police said Tuesday.
A witness who saw the crash followed the SUV, police said. Police found her at her grandmother's house, where she was arrested.
Cabrera told police "she did not know that she had hit a human being," according to the police report.
Duarte, 29, was treated and released after the hit-and-run. But later on, he was in pain from head-to-toe, he said. The father-son team had worked together at his dad's business, Martinez Concrete, for 10 years.
"They gave me a 30 percent chance that they can save his leg," said Martinez's wife Mileta Arroliga, as she sat and waited for her husband of 12 years to get out of surgery.
Arroliga's friend Eva Olivera, who sat by her side, said Martinez, 49, is "a good person, great dad and great husband."
While the family waited in quiet desperation at the hospital, Miami police looked for the driver of the Ford Explorer with a broken right brake light, tinted windows and missing left mirror.
Duarte said that he and his father had just dropped off Martinez's younger children, ages 5 and 9, at school and headed to a concrete job at 701 SW 64th Ave. in Miami.
Martinez pulled to the side of the street and parked the truck and they both got out.
Without any warning, Duarte said he was hit and his body ended up under the truck.
Late Monday, Duarte was watching his younger siblings, and praying for a miracle as he thought about his father, who immigrated to South Florida from Nicaragua more than 20 years ago and started a business in pursuit of the American dream.
"He's the head of the family," Duarte said. "He keeps everyone together. He's the most beautiful man. He's hardworking."
Miami Herald news partner CBS4 contributed to this report.

Which Fan Demographic Was Most Angered by the Grammys?
Bieber maniacs? Anti-Gaga-egg people?
Last night's Grammys have, believe it or not, pissed a lot of people off, for a variety of hilarious reasons. But who is angriest? Vulture ranks this morning's vitriol, from least to most hatred espoused.
5. People Who Prefer Willow Smith to Jaden Smith
His pants were questionable, and the cutaways to his parents were a bit cheesy, but fans' biggest problem with Jaden Smith seemed to be that he is not Willow Smith. Critique No. 2: Jaden Smith is not Justin Bieber. (Note: No one seemed to know the correct spelling of Jaden's name.) Otherwise, the fans were generally pretty kind about his performance (though not about his post-puberty prospects, poor kid).
4. Protein Enthusiasts
Along with our own Cut blog, who expressed disappointment with the "Tupperware" aspect of Gaga's red-carpet vessel, the Twittering Gaga masses hoped for a little more in the way of glamour. Still, she's Lady Gaga: No one was exactly shocked by her weirdness. Instead, we got a lot of meat dress and protein jokes, plus some skepticism that Gaga was even inside the plastic. Oh, and of course, some Tupac wisdom. Save the eggs for the children, Gaga.
3. Justin Bieber Maniacs
Lesser-known Esperanza Spalding beat out Justin Bieber for the Best New Artist Grammy and, considering the hatred generally spewed toward Bieber's rumored love interests, you'd think the legit rival would have been barricaded in a horrible dank basement by now. Instead, the Beliebers just went after her Wikipedia page. But, hey, Esperanza — might still be a good idea to lay low for a few weeks, just in case?
2. People Who Had Never Heard of Arcade Fire Before
The brand-new Tumblr Who Is Arcade Fire?!!!, dedicated solely to Arcade Fire–related Grammy outrage, is crucial. Representative tweet, from user LEO_187: "Fuck the fucking grammys!!! I cant see wat im typing but fuck those mother fuckers!!! Arcade fire?!! Who the fuck arfe they? I dnt know ..." Also piling on here: Radiohead? Announcing your new, secret album the morning after the ceremony takes some wind out of Arcade Fire's Grammy-winning sails. Very possible, however, that Radiohead scheduled the announcement for today safely assuming that an act not generally considered a direct competitor would win.
1. People Upset That Vulture Pointed Out Christina Aguilera Falling
Last night, in a bit of attempted levity, Vulture noted that Christina Aguilera fell down at the end of the Aretha Franklin tribute. The Internet reacted strongly, rushing to the defense of Aguilera and her sterling performance and taking pains to bash us by name along the way. By the way, if you don't know what we're talking about, here's the fall again:

Vaccines for preventing influenza in healthy children
Published: 15 August 2012
Authors: Jefferson T, Rivetti A, Di Pietrantonj C, Demicheli V, Ferroni E
Children (< 16 years old) and the elderly (above 65 years old) are the two age groups that appear to have the most complications following an influenza infection. Influenza has a viral origin and often results in an acute respiratory illness affecting the lower or upper parts of the respiratory tract, or both. Viruses are mainly of two subtypes (A or B) and spread periodically during the autumn-winter months. However, many other viruses can also cause respiratory tract illnesses. Diffusion and severity of the disease could be very different during different epidemics. Efforts to contain epidemic diffusion rely mainly on widespread vaccination. Recent policy from several internationally-recognised institutions, recommend immunisation of healthy children between 6 and 23 months of age (together with their contacts) as a public health measure. The review authors found that in children aged from two years, nasal spray vaccines made from weakened influenza viruses were better at preventing illness caused by the influenza virus than injected vaccines made from the killed virus. Neither type was particularly good at preventing 'flu-like illness' caused by other types of viruses. In children under the age of two, the efficacy of inactivated vaccine was similar to placebo. It was not possible to analyse the safety of vaccines from the studies due to the lack of standardisation in the information given, but very little information was found on the safety of inactivated vaccines, the most commonly used vaccine in young children. Authors' conclusions: Influenza vaccines are efficacious in preventing cases of influenza in children older than two years of age, but little evidence is available for children younger than two years of age. There was a difference between vaccine efficacy and effectiveness, partly due to differing datasets, settings and viral circulation patterns. No safety comparisons could be carried out, emphasising the need for standardisation of methods and presentation of vaccine safety data in future studies. In specific cases, influenza vaccines were associated with serious harms such as narcolepsy and febrile convulsions. It was surprising to find only one study of inactivated vaccine in children under two years, given current recommendations to vaccinate healthy children from six months of age in the USA, Canada, parts of Europe and Australia. If immunisation in children is to be recommended as a public health policy, large-scale studies assessing important outcomes, and directly comparing vaccine types are urgently required. The degree of scrutiny needed to identify all global cases of potential harms is beyond the resources of this review. This review includes trials funded by industry. An earlier systematic review of 274 influenza vaccine studies published up to 2007 found industry-funded studies were published in more prestigious journals and cited more than other studies independently from methodological quality and size. Studies funded from public sources were significantly less likely to report conclusions favourable to the vaccines. The review showed that reliable evidence on influenza vaccines is thin but there is evidence of widespread manipulation of conclusions and spurious notoriety of the studies. The content and conclusions of this review should be interpreted in the light of this finding. Background: The consequences of influenza in children and adults are mainly absenteeism from school and work. However, the risk of complications is greatest in children and people over 65 years of age. Objectives: To appraise all comparative studies evaluating the effects of influenza vaccines in healthy children, assess vaccine efficacy (prevention of confirmed influenza) and effectiveness (prevention of influenza-like illness (ILI)) and document adverse events associated with influenza vaccines. Search strategy: We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (The Cochrane Library2011, Issue 3) which includes the Acute Respiratory Infections Group's Specialised Register, OLD MEDLINE(1950 to 1965), MEDLINE (1966 to November 2011),EMBASE (1974 to November 2011), Biological Abstracts (1969 to September 2007), and Science Citation Index (1974 to September 2007).
Selection criteria:
Randomised controlled trials (RCTs), cohort and case-control studies of any influenza vaccine in healthy children under 16 years of age.
Data collection and analysis:
Four review authors independently assessed trialquality and extracted data.
Main results:
We included 75 studies with about 300,000 observations. We included 17 RCTs, 19 cohort studies and 11 case-control studies in the analysis of vaccine
efficacy and effectiveness. Evidence from RCTs shows that six children under the age of six need to be vaccinated with live attenuated vaccine to prevent one case of influenza (infection and symptoms). We could find no usable data for those aged two years or younger.
Inactivated vaccines in children aged two years or younger are not significantly more efficacious than placebo. Twenty-eight children over the age of six need to be vaccinated to prevent one case of influenza (infection and symptoms). Eight need to be vaccinated to prevent one case of influenza-like-illness (ILI). We could find no evidence of effect on secondary cases, lower respiratory tract disease, drug prescriptions,otitis media and its consequences and socioeconomic impact. We found weak single-study evidence of effect on school absenteeism by children and caring parents from work. Variability in study design and presentation of data was such that a meta-analysis of safety outcome data was not feasible. Extensive evidence of reporting bias of safety outcomes from trials of live attenuated influenza vaccines (LAIVs) impeded meaningful analysis. One specific brand of monovalent pandemic vaccine is associated with cataplexy and narcolepsy in children and there is sparse evidence of serious harms (such as febrile convulsions) in specific situations.

I wish I had something to share with you guys this week, but I haven't been buying books or borrowing lots of books lately. 1) I'm trying to finish all my ebooks and library books and 2) I'm basically on a book buying ban…for how long?

When Winnipeg filmmaker Brad Crawford first saw the popularity of arcades in Japan, he was shocked. "If you're a fan of videogames, arcades are everywhere. It's kind of mind- boggling because they've disappeared from North America," he says.
So Crawford and his Strata Studios business partner BJ Verot started working on 100 Yen: The Japanese Arcade Experience, a documentary exploring the subject.
"We stayed at a hotel in downtown Tokyo, there were five arcades outside the hotel and all were six stories tall. You walk a few blocks and there are more," he says.
They shot a trailer for the movie and posted it on Indiegogo, a fundraising site. Then they waited to see what would happen.
Aside from raising $15,000 to begin production, arcade owners and game designers like Taito who created Space Invaders also got in touch to help. "They all came out of the woodwork after seeing the trailer and we were able to do a million times more than we otherwise would have," Crawford says.
They got access to Sega's headquarters in Tokyo, interviewed professional gamers and got a peek into the hierarchy of how the arcades are built - with the elite players playing on the highest floors.
Verot and Crawford spent two and a half years on the project, and ended up raising another $32,000 to finish the film so the quality would match the style of the games. "It's so visually stimulating, with motion graphics, 3D graphics, it can't be cheap looking," Crawford explains.
The film premiered in Seattle in late August at the Penny Arcade Expo, the biggest video game convention in North America - as Crawford affectionately says, "filled with 70,000 screaming nerds."
Tickets sold out in three hours.
100 Yen: The Japanese Arcade Experience premieres in Winnipeg at Cinematheque December 1-2.

RACHEL RILEY, Townsville Bulletin
AIR Niugini will open up a one stop connection from Townsville to Hong Kong through a retimed service to Port Moresby effective from May 29.
Air Niugini's service will now operate earlier, departing Townsville on Mondays at 12.10pm and arriving in Port Moresby at 2pm, allowing passengers to catch a connecting flight to Hong Kong at 3pm.
Inbound flights arrive in Townsville on Fridays.
The airline has launched a sale fare to promote the service, with return fares from $829 in low season and $1,200 in high season.
Air Niugini Chief Executive Officer Simon Foo said the airline would continue to offer competitive fares and packages plus a superb in-flight service to residents of North Queensland for travel beyond Port Moresby.
"Air Niugini operates to 14 exciting international destinations in Asia, Australia and the Pacific from our hub in Port Moresby," he said.
The retimed connection will enable North Queensland residents to travel to Hong Kong, Singapore, Manila, Bali and Japan.
The airline also operate to Solomon Islands, Fiji, Federated States of Micronesia and Vanuatu in the Pacific.
"We are looking at a direct service to Shanghai, China towards the end of this year, something the business community in North Queensland and tourists may be keen to take advantage of," Mr Foo said.
Townsville Airport Chief Operating Officer Kevin Gill welcomed the retiming of the established Port Moresby service.
"The retiming of the Port Moresby route means Townsville will have a convenient, one stop service to Hong Kong, complementing Air Niugini's established connections to Asia," he said.
"It also expands our reach in marketing Townsville to Asia.
"As the gateway to north Queensland, we are always looking at ways to expand our footprint
internationally, so we are very pleased to be able to do so through the rescheduling of this service."
The Townsville — Port Moresby service was established in March this year and represents the addition of 17,000 seats between the two destinations each year.

In a saute pan with high heat add oil, and red onions. Saute until translucent then add ginger, garlic, bamboo shoots and chicken, and cook for 5 minutes over medium heat. Deglaze pan with soy sauce. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate.
In medium mixing bowl combine cabbage, bean sprouts, carrots, peppers, celery and chicken mixture.
In medium saucepan, heat rice bran oil to 350 degrees F. Oil needs to be deep enough to keep egg roll from touching bottom of pan. Add accordingly.
To roll egg rolls, layout egg roll skin with corner facing you, place approximately 1/12th of mixture on roll and place 2 pieces of avocado on top of mixture. Fold corner over mixture, and then fold outside corners in, making a roll a 4 to 5-inch wide. Roll firmly, careful to not tear wrapper, and seal the final end with egg wash.
Dredge the egg roll in egg wash, allow excess to drain off and submerge egg roll in oil. Fry until golden brown, drain on paper towel on angle to allow oil to drain off.

1. Introduction
We can get important file properties by making a call to the CFile's static function GetFileStatus(). This function accepts CFileStatus object as a reference parameter and fills this object with the required information. In this article, I will show how do we use this object to retrieve some important file attributes.
2. About the example
The below screenshot shows the screen shot of example:
When the browse button is clicked, a file selection dialog is displayed. Once the file is picked from the file selection dialog, the file properties displayed in the dialog as described in the screen shot.
3. Creating the Application
Create a dialog based MFC application and name it as FileProp by accepting all the default settings in wizard pages. Once the application is created the class view looks like below:
The below-shown screen shot will help you in designing the application dialog. The dialog marked with number 1 is text boxes and all three check boxes marked as 3 are placed in the group box marked as number 2. Rename of the OK button as close and add a browse button marked as 4. That is all; the dialog is ready with the UI elements.
After the UI design, each control should be assigned with control variable and this association is shown in the below table:
UI Element
Control Variable Name
File Name Edit Box
Created On Edit Box
Modified On Edit Box
File Size Edit Box
Read Only Check Box
Hidden Check Box
System Check Box
To know how to add a control variable watch the video shown in the below link:
4. Coding – Pick File
To select a file in the system, MFC's common file dialog is used. An Instance of CfileDialog is created and then the dialog is displayed using the DoModal call. The displayed dialog is shown below:
The file name selected in this dialog is retrieved through CfileDialog's member function GetPathName(). Even though the name states path name, we actually get filename with fully qualified path. The code for this is shown below:
//Sample 3.0: Get File Properties
void CFilePropDlg::OnBnClickedButtonBrowse()
//Sample 3.1: Get Name of the File
CFileDialog dlg ( TRUE, NULL, NULL, NULL, "All Files|*.*||" ) ;
if ( dlg.DoModal( ) == IDOK )
m_filename = dlg.GetPathName() ;
5. Coding – File Created and Modified time
We have the file name from the previous section of code. Now we will retrieve the properties of this selected file. As already specified in the introduction, CFileStatus object is passed to the GetStatus function of the CFile and this call fills the file properties in the CFileStatus structure. In the below code, m_ctime, m_mtime members are used to get the file created time as well as file modified time.
These members (m_ctime, m_mtime) are CTime instances and using the Format function of the CTime, the time (i.e.) created time and modified times are formatted in more readable format. Then this formatted time is displayed in the application example. Below is the code:
//Sample 3.2: Get the File Status Object
CFileStatus status;
CFile::GetStatus(m_filename, status);
//Sample 3.3: Get File Creation, Modification
CString time_formatted;
CTime time;
time = status.m_ctime;
time_formatted = time.Format("%d-%b-%Y %H:%M:%S");
time = status.m_mtime;
time_formatted = time.Format("%d-%b-%Y %H:%M:%S");
m_ctrl_edit_filemodifiedon.SetWindowText( time_formatted);
6. Coding – File Attributes and Size
The size of the file is retrieved through the member m_size. This member is formatted in a CString object then displayed on the dialog. Below is code for it:
//Sample 3.4: Get File Size
CString file_size;
file_size.Format("%ld", status.m_size );
The file attributes are collected by the Bitwise OR operation when we make a call to the GetStatus function. To make a check for the particular attributes we should do Bitwise AND operation. The hexadecimal decimal constant for each attributes are given below:
enum Attribute {
normal = 0x00,
readOnly = 0x01,
hidden = 0x02,
system = 0x04,
volume = 0x08,
directory = 0x10,
archive = 0x20
OK. In the CFileStatus these attribute values are pushed into the member m_attribute and the constant values listed above are tested using the Bitwise AND operation. In the below code we do such a test and place/remove the check mark on the corresponding the checkboxes.
//Sample 3.5: Get the File Attributes
if ( (status.m_attribute & 0x01) == 0x01 )
if ( (status.m_attribute & 0x02) == 0x02)
if ( (status.m_attribute & 0x04) == 0x04)
The below video Explains and shows how the sample application works.

"Harem," a new exhibition of work by photographer Lalla Essaydi, opens today at the Edwynn Houk Gallery in New York City. Essaydi took the series of photos in a former harem in Morocco. She usually swathed the women she photographed in robes that echo the patterns in the harem's traditional decorative tile.

Born in Morocco, raised in Saudi Arabia, educated in Europe and the US and now living in New York, Essaydi has throughout her career examined ideas of women in Islamic culture throughout her career.
"In my art," Essaydi says, "I wish to present myself through multiple lenses — as artist, as Moroccan, as Saudi, as traditionalist, as Liberal, as Muslim. In short, I invite the viewer to resist stereotypes."
"Harem" is on view at Edwynn Houk Gallery through January 15, 2011.

R & R Trucking, Inc. Executive Speaks at Regional NAPFTDS Conference
NAPFTDS member school boasts entry level truck drivers with 4-6 weeks of training can earn $50,000 per year.
Neosho, Mo., November 2015
Kevin McKelvy, Vice President of Administration, R & R Trucking, Inc., was a guest speaker at this year's Regional National Association of Publicly Funded Truck Driving Schools (NAPFTDS) Conference held on October 29-30, 2015, at Crowder College, Neosho, Missouri.
The conference attracted member schools from Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas.
Part of McKelvy's presentation focused on ways truck drivers can use their experience and leverage to earn more pay in the field of truck driving. "There are great paying truck driving jobs available today in the truckload sector," McKelvy said. "Our qualified team drivers at R & R can earn over $120,000 per year if they have the right endorsements."
According to Darrin Pfeifly, Director of Transport Training at Crowder College, their school is running at over capacity and staff is being added to accommodate more students coming in. "An entry level truck driver can make $50,000 per year," said Pfeifly. "There are not that many job opportunities where an individual can receive just 4-6 weeks of training and go out and make that kind of money – truck driving you can."
Crowder has received a VA approved grant to assist military veterans in obtaining a CDL. The grant and waiver program give credit for a veteran's past military driving experience. For more information about Crowder Transport Training, contact Crowder College, 800-541-2891.
R & R recently launched its own program to recruit veterans into the field of truck driving. "Part of our initial plan is to refer veterans seeking a career in truck driving to Crowder's truck driving school," says McKelvy. "We believe Crowder and other NAPFTDS member schools are doing an excellent job in training students to become professional drivers and R & R is committed to providing ongoing support to their truck driving training programs."
R & R Trucking, Inc. – with its group of carriers, AATCO and NEI – is North America's largest trucking company that specializes in the transport of sensitive cargo. Their logistic and equipment capabilities encompass tanker, dry van, flat bed, dromedary and specialized transportation equipment.

Jennifer Brown Research Laboratory
To improve the lives of women and children who suffer complications in pregnancy and the newborn period.
The Jennifer Brown Research Laboratory was established at the University of Edinburgh / MRC Centre for Reproductive Health by PiggyBankKids (now Theirworld) in 2004. The laboratory is home to a team of world class scientists and clinicians working with a unified focus and commitment to solving unanswered questions in perinatal medicine.
Complications of pregnancy such as preterm birth, poor fetal growth, and certain maternal medical disorders are closely associated with abnormal brain development in the offspring. Disturbances to brain development can lead to significant long-term problems for survivors and their families, and prevent affected children from fulfilling their education and employment potentials.
Globally, fifteen million children are born at less than 37 weeks' of gestation each year and this number is rising. Preterm birth is the single biggest cause of death and disability among newborn babies and it is a leading cause of neurodevelopmental impairment in childhood. Improved understanding of the disturbances to brain structure and function that accompany preterm birth, and other complications of pregnancy, is essential for the development of therapies designed to improve outcome. The goal of our translational research programme is to identify the triggers for preterm labour and treatments to prevent it, and to identify the mechanisms that lead to abnormal fetal or neonatal brain growth and poor outcome.
A major strength of our research projects is the unified focus on obstetric and neonatal problems. We study mouse models of preterm labour, brain injury and inflammation (Professor Girardi), and we use state-of-the-art magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques to uncover the effects of perinatal adversity on brain development in fetal (Dr Denison) and neonatal life (Dr Boardman).

Our objectives
- To develop advanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a tool for investigating causal pathways to fetal and neonatal brain injury that arise due to complications of pregnancy.
- To investigate the role of fetal and neonatal MRI for predicting impairment in childhood.
- To investigate the role of maternal and fetal inflammation in pregnancy on the developing brain.
- To provide an excellent platform for developing perinatal scientists and clinicians of the future.
Our current projects
1. Advanced MR imaging to investigate risk modulators for brain injury associated with premature birth.
We have collected a large database of state-of-the-art MRI scans from preterm babies and babies born at full term. The image database is linked to detailed clinical and biological information. We are developing new methods to measure brain structure and are using these measures to investigate pathways to injury. Identifying the factors that lead to brain injury, or promote resilience, is essential for developing new treatment strategies.
2. Advanced MR imaging to predict neurodevelopmental impairment in childhood.
We are developing new ways of assessing cognitive function in infancy by measuring eye-gaze behaviour in response to visual stimuli. We are investigating whether preterm birth alters these early measures of cognition and whether MRI in the newborn predicts later cognition. If it does, then MRI could serve as a useful test for giving better and more detailed prognostic information to families, and as a clinically relevant early marker for studying new treatments.
3. In utero biomarkers of cognitive impairment in offspring of women with diabetes.
Diabetes is the most common medical disorder of pregnancy and the consequences of maternal diabetes for the offspring extend beyond pregnancy: under-performance at school age and learning problems are more common. It is unknown whether this is due to problems with brain development in the womb or to postnatal events. We are collecting very detailed fetal brain scans towards the end of pregnancy to see whether brain development in fetal life is altered in the offspring of diabetic women. The results of the study will help define the window period when therapeutic interventions should be targeted.
4. Complement to predict and prevent fetal brain injury.
The complement system forms part of the immune system. Prof Girardi has shown that altered function of complement is associated with preterm birth in mice, and she used sophisticated animal MR imaging techniques to show that the complement system also contributes fetal brain maldevelopment in the womb in some circumstances. The complement system can be modified using drugs, so these data provide an exciting new avenue of investigation of fetal neuroprotection. We are now investigating whether the same mechanism applies in humans.
5. Immune-mediated fetal brain development in maternal antiphospholipid syndrome and preterm birth.
Having established that preterm birth and specific maternal immune problems can led to fetal brain injury, we are now investigating which neural cell types are affected and how, and whether these processes can be attenuated with maternal drug treatment.
6. Magnetic resonance tractography of the developing human brain
We are developing new approaches for analysing MRI brain scans that will deepen understanding of how the brain is 'wired' in early life through a complex network of connections or tracts, and how networks are altered by preterm birth.

AOL Strikes Premium Motion Picture Deal With Miramax
A new deal between AOL and Miramax will allow users of the AOL On Network to view many of the studio's feature films free of charge.
A new deal between AOL and Miramax will allow users of the AOL On Network to view many of the studio's feature films free of charge.
AOL and Miramax have come to an agreement that will bring critically acclaimed, full-length films to U.S. viewers, culminating in the launch of a new Movies experience that will be featured across the AOL On Network. Spanning a range of genres that will include Miramax iconic cult classics, comedies, and awarded dramas, as well as family and foreign films, this premium, long-form content will now be available to stream free-of-charge across all AOL On experiences including mobile, desktop, and connected devices, all viewed within the Miramax channel.
The Miramax experience on AOL will be ad-sponsored. The mid-roll ad rule in place for the Miramax content is about every 20 minutes, so every 20 minutes into the movie a mid-roll cue point will come up. It is important to note that these cue points will be unique to each video, as AOL is strategically placing them so they do not interrupt a conversation within the movie or an action-filled scene.
Through the upcoming Movies experience, AOL viewers will soon have the option of adding critically acclaimed films to their regular rotation of news and entertainment video. Additionally, Miramax's premium content offering will be refreshed monthly.
In a press release announcing the deal, Ran Harnevo, president of AOL Video, said, "We continue to evolve our content strategy to include all screens and all experiences." He added, "With our Miramax partnership, we have our first foray into film and long-form, bringing a cinematic experience to our premium content library and across our connected TV experiences. Having a premium launch partner in Miramax means that we bring some of the best, award-winning content to the Web in a format that is easily accessible to consumers."
In the same release, Beth Minehart, executive vice president of global digital, Miramax, said, "Creating an ad-supported Miramax-branded channel on the popular AOL On Network is an exciting step as we remain committed to reaching Miramax fans through new and innovative platforms." She added, "We are delighted to partner with AOL on this digital offering, and we look forward to bringing a sampling of our iconic films to the AOL audience through its fast-growing multi-screen distribution network."
AOL is currently a top-three online video property in the United States as ranked by comScore Video Metrix, amassing 1.31 billion content views and serving 3.8 billion online video ads this past March alone.
With the launch of the new, premium Movies experience with the Miramax channel, AOL is providing its expansive audience with highly desired content from a leading, global film and television studio while simultaneously increasing the availability of award-winning films on the Web.
Although AOL was happy to provide additional information about the Movies experience, the company declined the opportunity to talk about the third annual NewFronts marketplace, which begins next week.
With research confirming that 78 percent of buy-side attendees found new opportunities at last year's Digital Content NewFronts event, the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB), has "super-sized" the schedule for this year's NewFronts, which expands the traditional weeklong event to nine days of presentations between April 28 and May 8. Held in New York City, this series of action-packed programming upfronts from digital video content leaders promises to attract marketers and media buyers to learn about a range of compelling digital video opportunities.
The NewFronts' six founding partners – AOL, DigitasLBi, Google/YouTube, Hulu, Microsoft, and Yahoo – will host presentations that spotlight original digital video content, alongside 14 other prominent online companies. Top companies that produce and distribute original digital video programming were invited to participate in the 2014 NewFronts based on a multilayered screening process, which included rankings from comScore and Nielsen and a survey conducted by the IAB among leading ad agency media buyers. Once a short list was determined, the NewFronts Advisory Board provided high-level buy-side recommendations on the potential lineup.
So, digital marketers will just have to wait to find out what AOL and the other participants unveil during the next two weeks. Who knows, this year's NewFronts could be as successful as classic Miramax films like The English Patient, Pulp Fiction, and Shakespeare in Love.

Infection with one strain of the dengue virus gives people protection against the other three strains for about two years, a new biostatistics study has found.
That information should help researchers trying to develop vaccines against the mosquito-borne virus, which is nicknamed "break-bone fever" for the joint pain it causes.
Dengue infects 5 percent of the world's population each year, and its range is increasing. In 2009 it was found in Florida for the first time in decades, and earlier this year the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it had re-established itself there, although no cases have been confirmed since 2010.
First infections may be mild, but the danger increases with new infections by other strains. In rare cases, dengue can cause fatal internal bleeding or shock.
The study, by Thai and American researchers, was based on 38 years' worth of laboratory records from one children's hospital in Bangkok. By measuring how long each strain predominated and then faded in importance, researchers could calculate how long protection lasted against alternate strains.
It has been known since the 1940s that infection with one strain protects permanently against that strain but only temporarily against others. That was established by Dr. Albert Sabin, the famous polio vaccine inventor, who investigated dengue because it knocked American troops out of action in the Pacific.Continue reading the main story
He discovered the cross-protection by infecting New Jersey state prisoners sequentially with strains taken from troops on different Pacific islands. But he did not follow any prisoners for more than nine months, said Derek A. T. Cummings, an epidemiologist at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health who was the lead author of the new study. It was published by The Journal of the Royal Society Interface.
"That's not work you could ethically do today," said a co-author, Nicholas G. Reich, a biostatistician at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
Dengue is "sort of a Goldilocks virus for studying cross-protection," Dr. Reich added. Some pathogens — like rhinovirus, which causes colds — have too many strains to measure accurately, while others, like flu, have only a few strains but mutate too rapidly to measure how long cross-protection lasts. Dengue, he said, "is just right."
An article on Tuesday about dengue virus incorrectly described the occurrence of the disease in the United States. There have been a few "locally acquired" confirmed cases along the Texas-Mexico border since 1980, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The disease's reappearance in Florida in 2009 was not the first occurrence in the United States in 40 years. The article also referred incompletely to the status of dengue virus in Key West, Fla. While a report issued by the C.D.C said that there had been endemic transmission of the virus there from 2009 to 2010, there has not been a laboratory-confirmed case of dengue on the island since 2010. (A large blood-sample survey would be required to detect mild cases of dengue, and none has been done on Key West in the last three years.)

The Lanchester Poly (now Coventry University) used the room for lunch time events during the Lanchester Arts Festivals during the early 70's - I recall a poetry reading featuring local and student poets with Adrian Mitchell guesting. The venue was used during the punk and Two Tone period and in 1981 there was folk club running there. More recently both contemporary acoustic artists, Kristy Gallacher and Emma Mcgann have run regular acoustic events there. Emma's venue is called Songbird.

text: Xamarin + Microsoft - what that means for us Posted on 4/4/2016 @ 4:33 PM in #Vanilla .NET by Sahil Malik | Feedback | 1831 views Lets be honest! The last 10 days have put everything on it's head in the mobile dev. world. Here is why, Microsoft acquired Xamarin They already showed some amazing improvements to Xamarin at Build Xamarin included at no extra charge in Visual Studio – in all editions, including community. This effectively takes one of two biggest downside of Xamarin away. The second downside being a more complex dev story – which with Microsoft's backing will be smoothed out I am sure. MSDN subscribers will get Xamarin studio on mac. And there is a free Xamarin studio community edition on Mac. I know Xamarin studio is no Visual studio, but you should compare it with XCode :) Xamarin core platform will be open source and in .NET foundation. Mono will be under MIT license – which means you will see it for Arm64 CPUs, like iOS. I am predicting writing C# for iOS. Xamarin allows you to target multiple platforms, and Xamarin test cloud allows you to test on multiple devices. What does this mean? This is the beginning of the end of all other native dev approaches, such as reactnative, fuse, nativescript, etc. It seriously challenges Java/ObjectiveC/Swift. The only reason to continue with those is – INERTIA. While this challenges Cordova, Phonegap, ionic, for various reasons I feel that will still be an alternative we will have and will survive. TL;DR; - Cordova + Xamarin will rule the future. Exciting, but don't underestimate the complexity of writing and managing all this.

The matter with Macy
I'm sure most of you by now would have heard about singer Macy Gray's 'blue notes' at the Barbados Jazz Fesival last night. The story even ended up on entertainment blogs around the world. I don't plan on rehashing what other people have said so far; the Market Vendor made enough good points this morning. I wasn't even going to comment on the matter at all, until I saw this comment in today's Nation Newspaper by the incensed producer of the Barbados Jazz FestivaL, Gilbert Rowe:
"This country stands for propriety, decency and adherence to the law. This community prides itself on being a Christian society and we do not take it lightly."
My heart burned a little when I read that statement, because I'm not so sure this is the case anymore in our country. I'm not going to list our societal ills, I'm not going to rant and rave. I'm just begging all of us to stop the hypocrisy and let's really examine ourselves. Have a good weekend, all!

The strengths of the European history program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill include a distinguished faculty, a varied curriculum, a receptivity to innovative methodological approaches, a stimulating and cooperative intellectual atmosphere, and an exceptional range of research resources.
Faculty members guide an exciting and challenging academic curriculum building on a legacy of excellence in areas of Medieval and Early Modern History, French History, English History, Italian and Mediterranean History, and German and Central European history. (See also our separate field information on Russian and East European history.) The size and expertise of the faculty allow for an intellectual community capable of achieving "critical mass" in the study of European political, social, cultural, gender, intellectual, and economic history. At the same time, the existence of these discrete areas of specialization also creates possibilities for stimulating connections between fields and has led to the formation of unique clusters of expertise within and beyond the European field.
Undergraduate Program
The major concentration in modern European history covers all aspects of European history from the end of the 15th century to the to present time. Important topics of study include the Reformation and religious conflict, the rise of modern states, secularization, the French and Industrial Revolutions, modern ideologies and nationalism, mass politics and society, the first and second world wars, and European reconstruction and unification after World War II. Surveys such as "European History from 1650″ and "Twentieth Century Europe" provide a foundation for upper-level courses on topics such as the Renaissance, the French Revolution, and the Holocaust.
Classes in the field of medieval European history count towards the Ancient/Medieval major concentration that includes the ancient civilizations in the Mediterranean and Near East, especially Ancient Greece and Rome, from approximately 1000 BCE to 1500 CE; and the rise and expansion of Christian Europe and the Islamic World through the fifteenth century. In addition to broad surveys, students have the opportunity to take more specialized courses on such topics as Greek Religion, the Roman Empire, the Crusades, and the medieval nobility. Click [here] to see a list of courses that fills this major concentration.
Graduate Program
The European history program is distinguished by the willingness of faculty and students to explore such new approaches to the study of history as cultural history, gender history, and comparative history. This receptivity to innovative methods is complemented by a commitment to sound and rigorous training in the development of traditional research and writing skills. The combined resources of two fine research libraries at UNC–Chapel Hill and Duke University, with extensive special collections ranging from English local history to Napoleonic prints to National Socialism and German Unification, offer a diverse and singularly invaluable asset for graduate study. In addition, faculty-student colloquia, regular interdisciplinary seminars, and the Center for European Studies provide added extra-curricular opportunities for academic discourse.
The European history program takes great pride in the accomplishments of its graduate students. As a result of a highly selective admissions process, the department is able to fund a high percentage of graduate students. Of equal importance is the promotion of an open and supportive environment for graduate study. This includes an accessible faculty closely involved in students' intellectual and professional development. The close cooperation between faculty and students finds expression in the success of our graduates in receiving grants and awards such as Bundeskanzler, Chateaubriand, and Fulbright, as well as in the excellent placement record achieved by graduates of the European history program.
For information on the European field graduate comprehensive exams, consult the Graduate Student Handbook.

That's Ms. Senator, If You're Nasty
We've debated whether to hug or not to hug in professional settings, but what's the proper protocol when it comes to titles? At a hearing on Tuesday, California Sen. Barbara Boxer told Brig. Gen. Michael Walsh, division leader of the Army Corps of Engineers, "Could you say ' senator' instead of 'ma'am? It's just a thing. I worked so hard to get that title. I'd appreciate it." The General, with all the quickness of an Army lifer, responded "Yes, Senator."
The hearing was apparently a little heated (Boxer was questioning Walsh about still unrepaired levees in New Orleans), so her comment has been interpreted as a bit of an etiquette smack down. Certainly, it's quick-thinking, tart way to remind someone to start treating you more respectfully, stat. (As for why calling someone "ma'am" over and over might feel a little disrespectful, I'm reminded of a scene from A Few Good Men , when lawyer Tom Cruise asks his client to stop calling him "sir": Cruise: Is this your signature? Client: Yes sir. Cruise: You don't have to call me sir. Is this your signature? Client: Sir, yes sir. Crusie: And you certainly don't have to do it twice in one sentence.") And then there really is something about ma'am that's just so ... lackluster. Is that because it's the same word telemarketers use? Or what you'd say to while helping an old lady out with her groceries? Does "sir" carry the same freight?

A no claims discount (NCD), also known as a no claims bonus, can go a long way to helping cut the cost of your car insurance. Here's how it works.
Each year that you drive without a making a claim on your car insurance gives you an additional year of no claims discount, which can reduce the cost of your insurance when you come to renew it. The more years you drive without making a claim, the greater the discount on your premium could be.
Some insurance providers won't offer further discounts after five years of NCD has been earned, but others might allow more. The level of discount offered on your insurance is also down to the discretion of your insurance provider.
If you make a claim on your insurance and your insurance provider pays out, then your no claims discount is typically reduced by two years. So, if you had eight years of NCD and made a claim, in theory you'd be left with six years NCD. However, this isn't always the case. If your insurance provider considers the industry standard of five years to be the maximum NCD you can have, then you'll be left with three years NCD if you make a claim (five years minus two years for making a claim, equals three years NCD). And if you make a second claim, you will lose all your NCD.
If the accident wasn't your fault, your insurance provider will try to recover its costs from the driver who was at fault and your NCD should be unaffected.
If no one was to blame for the accident, insurance providers might split the cost of the claims and both drivers' NCD could be affected. If your car is vandalised or damaged and the culprit can't be caught, or your car is stolen, your insurance provider won't be able to recoup its costs and your NCD may be affected.
Yes, by paying an extra fee on top of the cost of your car insurance. This means that if you do claim on your insurance, your NCD stays intact. Some insurance providers allow you to make two claims over a year without this affecting your discount; other providers, however, may significantly reduce your NCD if you claim twice.
Interestingly, protecting your NCD will not protect your premiums from rising if you do claim, as your claims history (among other things) is used to work out the cost of your premium.
Named drivers typically aren't able to build up a no claims discount (although they can still build up their own no claims discount if they have a car and are insured as the main driver). Some insurance providers may give a named driver a discount, provided they take out their own insurance policy with them at a later date.
If you had sole use of your company car, some insurance providers will take your number of claim-free years into account and offer an equivalent discount. Your company car insurance provider should be able to send confirmation that you had sole use of the car for social, domestic and pleasure purposes, as well as for your business use, and how many years claim-free driving you have.
If you've gained a no claims bonus overseas, you may be able to transfer it when you come back to the UK. This will be down to the discretion of the insurance provider, so check with them.
Yes, you can usually take your no claims discount with you when your change providers – you'll need proof of your existing NCD to do this.
Some insurance providers will include details of your NCD on your insurance renewal or cancellation notice, or some will send you a separate letter telling you what it is. Some insurance providers may not tell you at all and you'll have to get in contact with them.
In most cases, if you're uninsured for more than two years, you'll sacrifice your no claims discount and you'll have to start accumulating it from scratch. However, some insurance providers have extended the gap to three years, so if your lapse is borderline it's worth checking.
Choosing a car insurance policy has never been easier – if you search with us, we'll give you a choice of trusted insurance providers based on your needs. All you need to do is tell us what you want and we'll do the rest, so start comparing today.
