Picking a new current account can be a struggle.
With switching incentives, credit interest, cashback, fee-free overdrafts, access to exclusive products and loyalty points on offer it can be difficult to determine which is the best to go for.
One way to whittle down your options is to look at what accounts you may be eligible for based on what you are likely to deposit each month.
Many of the top deals have caveats that link account benefits to a minimum monthly deposit.
So we've set out the best current accounts on offer right now according to their minimum funding requirements so you can clearly see which you might qualify for and get the most out of.
Compare current accounts
No minimum
If you're not keen on having to pay in a set amount each month, there are six decent current accounts you could go for that don't require a minimum monthly deposit.
The M&S Bank Current Account is a fee-free account that offers exclusive preferential rates on savings, personal loans and travel money. The account also comes with a £500 overdraft where the first £100 is fee-free, as well as the chance to build up M&S Loyalty points for rewards. You'll get one point for every £1 spent in store or online at M&S. To sweeten the deal those that switch to the account will also get a £100 M&S gift card.
Though it's only got a limited rollout you might prefer to go for the Post Office Standard Account. It also offers straightforward fee-free banking and comes with a competitive overdraft charging 14.9% EAR.
Alternatively there's the Barclays Bank Account. It also offers fee-free banking with all the basics but comes with access to SmartSpend which allows you to earn cashback and save money with selected brands online. You can also choose to personalise the account with special 'Packs' for a monthly fee. However, to access the new Blue Rewards scheme, which pays £7 a month to current account customers (after a £3 monthly fee), you need to deposit £800 a month, set up two direct debits and sign up to online banking or the Barclays mobile app.
Lastly there's the Metro Bank Current Account, which is fee-free and may suit you if you want to save money on using your debit card abroad as you get fee-free debit card transactions in Europe.

£500 per month
If you're able to deposit at least £500 a month your options open up three more accounts from TSB, Santander and HSBC.
The TSB Classic Plus Current Account pays a market-leading 5% credit interest on balances up to £2,000. In order to receive interest on your balance you will need to deposit a minimum of £500 as well as register for internet banking as well as opt for paperless statements and correspondence.
With the Santander 123 Current Account you get credit interest on balances and cashback on direct debits. You can earn 1% interest on balances from £1,000, 2% on balances from £2,000 and 3% on balances from £3,000 up to £20,000. Each month you can also earn 1% cashback on water and Council Tax bills as well as Santander mortgage repayments, 2% on gas and electricity bills plus 3% on mobile, home phone, broadband and paid for TV packages. In order to receive interest and cashback you'll need to deposit £500 a month, pay a monthly account fee of £2 and set up at least two different Direct Debits.
And then there's the HSBC Bank Account. It doesn't offer credit interest or cashback but it is fee-free and provides access to exclusive rates on loans, savings accounts and mortgages. You need to pay in at least £500 a month otherwise HSBC will downgrade the account to a Current Account or close it down altogether. However, those under the age of 24 aren't subject to these conditions.
£750 per month
If you can deposit at least £750 a month then you are eligible for two more accounts from Tesco and Halifax.
The Tesco Bank Current Account pays 3% credit interest on balances up to £3,000 and also offers the chance to collect Clubcard points on all your debit card spending. You get one Clubcard point for every £4 spent in Tesco and one Clubcard point for every £8 spent elsewhere. The account is fee-free, providing you pay in the minimum £750 a month. Each month you fail to do so you'll have to pay a £5 fee.
Alternatively there's the Halifax Reward Current Account, which comes with an enticing £125 cash bonus offer for switching. Plus as long as you pay in £750 a month, pay two different direct debits and stay in credit you'll get an ongoing £5 monthly reward. Those registered for online banking will also be able to take advantage of Cashback Extras which pays cashback on spending at certain online retailers.
£800 per month
If you can stretch to £800 a month you could go for accounts from the Co-operative Bank or smile.
When you switch to the Co-operative Bank Current Account Plus, set up at least two direct debits and deposit at least £800 within 31 days you'll get a £100 cash bonus and the Co-op will pay £25 to a charity of your choice. The account is fee-free and comes with all the basics as well as a £200 overdraft and exclusive offers on loans, credit cards and savings accounts.
The smile Current Account comes with the same £125 switching incentive and the same hoops to jump through, but offers a bigger £500 overdraft. You also get exclusive access to savings accounts and credit cards with this online bank account.
£1,000 per month
Now for the accounts towards the top end of the scale. You'll need to be able to deposit £1,000 a month to qualify for these five from First Direct, Nationwide, Bank of Scotland, Clydesdale Bank and Yorkshire Bank.
First Direct is offering a £100 cash incentive to those that switch to its 1st Account. The online bank is famed for its top levels of customer service, which it backs up with a £100 guarantee. It will pay £100 if you aren't satisfied with the account within the first 12 months and want to leave. You'll also get exclusive access to First Direct mortgages, savings, loans and credit cards as well as a £250 interest-free overdraft. Depositing at least £1,000 a month means you avoid the £10 monthly fee.
Then there's the Nationwide BS FlexDirect Current Account, which like the TSB Classic Plus Current Account, also pays a market-leading 5% credit interest but on balances up to £2,500. If you aren't able to pay in £1,000 a month you won't qualify for interest. It also comes with a 12-month fee-free overdraft and access to 'Flexclusive' rates on savings, loans, credit cards and mortgages.
Elsewhere the Bank of Scotland Classic Account pays tiered interest on credit balances when you add Vantage. You'll get 1.5% on balances from £1, 2% on balances from £1,000 and 3% on balances from £3,000 up to £5,000. Vantage is free but you'll need to pay in at least £1,000 to qualify for the interest it offers. As well as interest you'll be able to earn up to 15% cashback through the Everyday Offers scheme and you'll get the chance to win one of your purchases back up to the value of £500 on a monthly basis with 'It's on Us'.
Alternatively there's the Clydesdale Bank Current Account Direct and the Yorkshire Bank Current Account Direct, which both offer fee-free banking and pay 2% credit interest on balances up to £3,000. You'll need to pay in £1,000 a month to benefit from the interest. Right now you can get a £150 cash bonus if you switch to the account, link two direct debits and pay in £1,000 a month.
£1,500 per month
If you are prepared to deposit at least £1,500 a month, you can go for the Lloyds Bank Club Lloyds Current Account.
The account pays tiered interest on credit balances. You'll get 1% on balances from £1, 2% on balances from £2,000 and 4% on balances from £4,000 up to £5,000. But in order to earn interest you will need to set up at least two different direct debits on the account.
The account also offers exclusive access to Lloyds Bank savings and mortgages products, a £100 fee-free overdraft and the choice of one Lifestyle Benefit each year (Gourmet Society membership, six Vue cinema tickets or an annual magazine subscription).
If you fail to deposit at least £1,500 each month though, you'll have to pay a £5 fee.

We'll start by looking at IOMeter's output for the UDO Desktop Drive with the file server access pattern. We allowed the test to run for a period of 5 minutes. We also ran the same test on a Western Digital 80GB EIDE hard disk and a Fujitsu MHV2060AT 60Gb 2.5" drive, and have provided the output from both as a comaprison. While the two hard drives have very little in common with the UDO drive other than providing storage, the comparison does provide a way to judge the UDO Drive's performance and as we will see, there are some surprises.
The Western Digital Hard Disk wins hands down, as we would expect it to. However, the UDO drive does clock in some impressive figures for an optical drive. Its Avg. response times are not that far behind those of either hard disk.
The following table however, should prove more interesting. It shows the UDO Drive's output for 3 separate Iometer configurations, set to 100% reading of 512 byte, 16k byte and 32k byte file sizes. Setting Iometer to 100% reads, more closely simulates the type of work the drive will be expected to carry out. Again, the tests were run for 5 minutes.
It is interesting to see the difference in performance between small files and larger files. At 16k and 32k, the throughput (Read MBps) does not differ by much with 2.12MB/s and 2.13MB/s respectively. For 512 bytes however, it drops to 130kB/s. A similar pattern appears with total amount of bytes read, where for 16k and 32k the figures are fairly close at 636Mb and 638Mb respectively, while for 512 bytes, the corresponding figure is only 39Mb.
The last test we put our UDO drive through was to copy a full DVD movie to the drive. We used DVD Decryptor to copy Gladiator from a Pioneer DVR 108 drive. The process was completed in 1:00:40 with an average read rate of 1,974 KB/s (1.4x) and maximum read rate of 4,167 KB/s (3.0x). As a comparison, the same process but with the copy being written to the Western Digital Hard Disk, had a duration of 00:24:40 with an average read rate of 4,857 KB/s (3.5x) and maximum read rate of 6,949 KB/s (5.0x).

Hi. I noticed there's still a weird "race" with regard to suspend signal (ctrl+Z), that I used to observe back in 1.8-RELEASE days. It's 100% reproducible on -DEVELOPMENT or 2.2-RELEASE. What I did was basically this, followed by ctrl+Z: $ su root -c 'vi /usr/pkg/etc/mk.conf' [1] + Suspended (signal) su root -c vi /usr/pkg/etc/mk.conf $ fg The result depends on root's login shell; if it's set to /bin/csh (the default), the suspended process silently vanishes (killed?). $ fg Suspended $ pgrep -u root vi If the root's login shell is set to /bin/sh, the vi session won't resume and gets stuck there (pressing ctrl+T shows that the process is in [stop] state). If I send SIGCONT to vi, the vi session resumes and I can continue to work on it. The behavior on csh is quite undesirable, as you may lose the suspended process (I think I've seen that before, but didn't care at that time). It seems to occur for commands other than vi: $ su root -c 'cat' # affected $ su root -c 'seq 1 10000' # affected $ su root -c 'seq 1 10000 | tee a' # can't be interrupted Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

"It is as a spectator that the author assists, indifferent or passionate, at the birth of his work and watches the phases of its development," Ernst wrote in his 1948 manifesto, "Beyond Painting." "The role of the painter is to pick out and project that which sees itself in him" (quoted in R. Storr, "Past Imperfect, Present Conditional," Max Ernst, exh. cat., The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 2005, p. 54). The face that Ernst projects in Le chant de la grenouille (The song of the frog) is, as in two earlier versions, that of the romantic and visionary engineer of new forms, of life-forms tied, symbolically, to a civilization newly reborn after a half-century of war. The exuberant adolescence of this world stands in contrast to Ernst's other face of the later 1950s, the apocalyptic conscience of the atomic age grimly manifested in Le chant tordu de la terre and Le XXe siècle. Ernst's allegorical impulse is strongly, and eloquently two-sided in the series of neo-Symbolist landscapes he painted after the Second World War, to which these paintings belong. The dialectical tension between organic regeneration and entropic paralysis articulated here would become a recurrent theme in Ernst's later career.
Heavily encrusted in layers of paint yet seemingly illuminated from within, Le chant de la grenouille achieves a depth and complexity of surface that calls out, through relentless point and counterpoint, the burgeoning rhythms of the creature's song. Undulating surface volumes create a fluid, all-over environment--not unlike that of the Abstract Expressionists, on whom Ernst was a decisive influence--constantly oscillating between concave and convex in a perpetual re-enactment of creation. Its fantastic forms belong to a harsh vegetal or maritime world, recalling the forces of nature to a point of origin well before its matter crystallized into dense masses hewn from deposits of green and blue. The mystery of new life, and its rebirth out of the coagulations and dissolutions of earlier forms, is richly evoked through the green tendrils criss-crossing the textured under layers of paint, formed at random through the Surrealist technique of decalcomania.
The Surrealist legacy likely weighed on Ernst's mind in 1957, four years after his expulsion from the group following the 1954 Venice Biennale, at which he received the top prize for painting and new international recognition. Ernst returned to France, after fourteen years in the United States, just after completing Le chant de la grenouille. Surrealism had lost ground in post-war France, yet Ernst's independence from the group fostered new creative freedoms and a more subjective interpretation of painting "beyond painting." Though the "song of the frog" echoes the Surrealists' call to return to a deeply disillusioned world the promise and possibility of new life, the song is, ultimately, Ernst's own. It is the voice of an artist in dialogue with himself, confidently summoning the regenerative potential of nature out of its past ruins yet watchfully attuned to new predators within a matrix of emergent life.
In a statement published for his 1966 exhibition at The Jewish Museum in New York, on the occasion of his seventy-fifth birthday, Ernst posed the questions, "Why do you sing? For whom do you sing?" His answers, given in parodic impersonation of different personalities, range from the "inevitable I SING THEREFORE I AM," to "I AM MY SONGS," to the nightingale's final reply, "ETERNAL LOVER, I LISTEN WHILE I SING, ALAS" (in Max Ernst: Sculpture and Recent Painting, exh. cat., The Jewish Museum, New York, 1966, p. 9).

This appealing yarn tells of a band of bird pirates who sail their ship through the sky and one day bring aboard a mysterious egg despite a superstitious sailor's warning that it's an evil ovum. When a gosling hatches, Blue Jay, the captain feared by many but admired by his crew, insists the youngster, Gabriel, be kept on. Gabriel quickly grows in size, but bad luck arrives just as fast, and together this ragtag avian crew battles crows, still winds, and other hazards while they quest for their next plunder. Technically, pirates are bad guys, but Nash's distinct characters, from shorebirds to sparrows to a very helpful star-nosed mole, are sympathetic and well drawn (literally, as the book features frequent and wonderful full-page illustrations), and Gabriel proves his value and self-worth in bad times and good. Referencing Robert Louis Stevenson and hearkening back to classic animal adventures of yore, this has the tone and style to appeal to thoughtful young readers; a coming-of-age element to gratify older ones; and drama, battles, and triumphs to entice the rest.--Medlar, Andrew Copyright 2010 Booklist

Gr 4-7-Captain Blue Jay, notoriously feared pirate captain of the flying ship Grosbeak, loves to collect eggs, giving him a revered reputation as a cannibal. When his latest treasure hatches, revealing a fast-growing gosling, the feathered crew bickers as to what to do with him. Motherly Junco takes young Gabriel under her wing, teaching him the ways of pirate life, much to the chagrin of the other birds on board who fear his burgeoning size will be their downfall. The avian society faces oppressive taxes and the Thrush government forbids migration, which forces the pirate birds to flee skyward. Bigger issues soon ensue as they find themselves not only trying to escape the oppressive Thrushian government, but also thieving crows and murderous weasels and fishers. When the Grosbeak becomes shipwrecked and Gabriel (who cannot yet fly) falls from the ship, he and Junco escape attacks, finding refuge at the tavern of Poppa Fox. With his help and a nearly blind mole named Hillary, Gabriel and Junco set off to find their shipmates before the crows murder them all. This swashbuckling adventure is Nash's first novel, and the numerous full-color illustrations are spot-on, adding charm and whimsy to the motley crew of characters. With a sophisticated vocabulary, a certain amount of violence, and colorful pirate language, the book requires fairly competent readers. A pirate adventure with birds as heroes and villains might have limited appeal to older readers, but animal fantasy fans not quite ready for Brian Jacques's "Redwall" series (Philomel) may want to walk the plank and jump in.-Michele Shaw, Quail Run Elementary School, San Ramon, CA (c) Copyright 2012.

Fieldnotes – My Other Side
This two-part story is a portrait of Kristal and Jim Fox and their children, Vince and Jamie. It deals with the many layers of identity in Native America – obviously a sensitive and politically charged topic. Kristal's side of the story is very personal and emotional: it has to do with her "Indian-ness," and with her feelings of being ostracized and marginalized growing up. But at the end, it is the remarkable and moving account of a woman whose husband and children rally around her as she searches for her roots, even learning to play traditional Métis music in her honor.
"For the Métis people," Kristal told me, "the biggest pride and joy is to have a musician in the family…so I felt that…my kids doing this is like…God's making up all the hurt…and He rewarded me with these talented children."
In the second part of the story, which I recorded both at the Fox family home in Harlem, Montana, and at the Holter Museum in Helena, I tried to get out of the way and let the music do the talking. I was only able to include a small sampling of the Fox family's repertoire, which is quite varied. At the core of their music is the traditional Métis fiddling of Montana, North Dakota, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. But they have absorbed many other styles into their playing, including "old timey," French Canadian and Irish, as well as a few traditional Athabaskan tunes from the Alaskan interior. None of this makes their music less "Métis," since Métis musicians have always absorbed and incorporated a variety of musical influences.
There is much confusion about Métis identity, and people in Montana and North Dakota who identify themselves by that term have had very different experiences from their kin in Canada (primarily Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.) The term itself is loaded with political implications on both sides of the border, which I'm not qualified to discuss. I am fortunate to have as an acquaintance the folklorist and anthropologist Nicholas Vrooman, a preeminent scholar of Métis history and culture. Nicholas provided me with a few links to research that might prove useful to those wishing to learn more about the Métis people.

On the Garden ring will be a new bridge
Get ready: today on the Garden ring will be a new bridge. Build it the audience and the performers of the theatre BRIDGE, who knows — the Moscow student theatre, on the Garden ring near Mayakovskaya. At the entrance and will begin construction of the art object, and it will be completed, passing a window on the stage. In General, the Bridge between stage and life will connect in the evening the audience and the art, becoming a symbol of a long way long in 17-th theatrical season.
photo: Alexander Astafyev
We live by the formula of the public theater, " explains artistic Director Yevgeny Slavutin. – Open the new drama, of novice actors, young audience. Therefore, the cut on the opening day of the season the window… No, not in Europe but right on stage. Only this day to get to play, you will not through the front door and through the window, climbing up the newly constructed bridge.
And inspire the creative "construction" of Chekhov's the leisurely tea. Conditional on the pavement in front of the entrance to the theater will unfold feast with the characters from the play of George Dolmazyan "Chekhov". On the roof will play a small Jewish band. Sisters Prozorov will give drink to passers-by the old Russian Ivan-tea. The salt will offer something stronger, and the old firs will be treated the same dried cherries, which "sometimes carts were sent to Moscow and Kharkov".
But you're lucky tonight, not only spectators with tickets: theatre celebration will take over the area of the Patriarchal ponds and Mayakovsky square. A few hours before the "Chekhov" an aspiring playwright Konstantin Treplev with placards and banners in support of new art forms, will be sent a demarche on the banks of the Patriarch in search of treasured gulls. And the company I meet from Paris flighty hostess on a swing at the Mayakovsky monument.
Take a breath before the show, which will be in the theater lobby. There by candlelight to live music, guests will remember the main Chekhov's Testament: "In the person all should be fine…" and tune to a meeting with this most beautiful. That is, "Chekhov", where there are characters from three plays by Anton Chekhov: "the Seagull", "the Cherry orchard", and "Three sisters", of course. The result exceeded expectations — this production is a student of Eugene Slavutina — George Dolmazyan became a show — opening from different points of view, and because theatre award "Moskovsky Komsomolets".

Money Matters on Campus: Survey of 43,000 College Students Shows Student Loan Amounts and Financial Stress Levels on the Rise
EverFi kicked off Financial Literacy Month with an incredible event at the National Press Club this morning as we released key findings from Money Matters on Campus, a three-year study conducted by EverFi and Higher One that examines the financial attitudes, knowledge and behaviors of college students.
This year, approximately 43,000 students from two- and four-year institutions were surveyed on issues related to banking, savings, credit cards and school loans, and some startling trends emerged. The same teens saddled with thousands of dollars in debt to attend college have little understanding of how to put themselves in the best position to pay it back.
Among the many findings from the study, results show that students are taking out more and larger student loans, yet feel less prepared to manage their money than any other aspect of college life. Further, though students reported a higher level of financial experience (i.e. access to credit cards and checking accounts) than in previous years of this study, they did not report increased levels of responsible financial behavior.
Only 58 percent of students from four-year institutions said they were prepared to manage their money, while 12 percent of respondents said they never check their bank balances because they are too nervous. Additionally, 16 percent of student respondents lived paycheck to paycheck and yet only three-quarters stopped spending when their bank account balances were low.
The research presentation was followed by a panel discussion featuring Beckie Supiano, senior reporter at The Chronicle of Higher Education; Joe Duran, chief operating officer at Moneythink; Mary Johnson, vice president of financial literacy and student aid policy at Higher One; Nan Morrison, CEO of the Council for Economic Education, and Ryan Law, director of the Office for Financial Success University of Missouri.
"Students reported feeling least prepared for the financial aspects of college, even as student loan debts continue to grow at an alarming rate," said Mary Johnson, vice president of financial literacy and student aid policy at Higher One. "The results suggest we must start financial literacy education before students enter college and continue to teach its importance throughout a student's college career—it is imperative that students know the impact student loan debt can have later in life."
Given students' financial stress and the long-term impact this can have on their health and wellbeing, it is clear that financial wellness should be addressed with the same level of concern as other health and wellness issues facing college students today.
In line with results from last year's study, students who took a financial literacy course in high school were 10 percentage points more likely to report being prepared to manage money in college than those who did not report any previous financial literacy education. EverFi is proud to be a driving force behind students receiving this critical financial education, and we are incredibly grateful to Higher One for funding this groundbreaking research.

With that, in theory, you can setup a buildd. I'm working locally on this (my bandwidth is poor, so it's hard to me to upload partial progress). The uclibc-i386 packages missing to me are: * gcc * libgdbm3 * libdb4.2 (I'm very near on finishing this one) * perl (which depends on the two libs above) I'm working with sarge, as it's easier to deal with a frozen target, but after that 4 packages, we have the way to setup a buildd and start natively building packages. daniel

Made it to New Zealand. Auckland, to be exact. It's summer time!!!
The sun's out. Loud and proud. Twas a fuckin' slog yesterday though. Sleep deprivation is a killer.
Some girl comes up to me at the airport in Japan. She was pregnant. She says to me, "Can you touch my stomach and bless my baby?" Sorry? "Please touch my stomach and bless my baby."
Ok...there you go, kid...consider yourself blessed. Then she says, "Please can you name my baby?" What? "Please name my baby." What now? Right now? "Yes please."
Ok...Is it a boy or a girl? "Oh, I don't know yet!" Jeez...meet me half way, eh?
Anyway, the flight was ok. Got some kip at least. The jet lag's not too bad when you get this far around the world. Feeling back to normal.
I haven't been to NZ since 1997. I have no recollection of it at all! My tour manager informed me I may have had an impromptu sing song round a piano in a hotel bar with that singer Joe Cocker! I don't remember that at all! Scary, eh?
Looking forwards to the gig tomorrow. My first festival of the year. Kasabian are on the bill so it should be a blast.

Sign me up as one of the people who won't miss UVLS at all. I -may- still use it if I coin a HTF version of it (got 1 more week since I cleared ToT this week already! You never know), but as is, I'm promptly DEing my normal one first thing on patch day.
I feel like 9778 Haste + 12-13k Mastery is the setup to go for starters at a 545-550 ilvl - I think lowering Mastery below 10k (which you would have to do if you went for the 13157 Haste cap) would be less benefitial on the long run, rather than a extra tick on the 3 dots. Some simcrafting on this would be nifty.
About what threshold to reach after SoO, I think staying at the 13157 Haste cap would be best - I'd have to calculate full HWF gear, the next reachable threshold would be 18207 (for the extra tick on all dots) and it'd depend mostly on how much Mastery you'd be able to sustain with that.

The winners of the Dark Scribe Magazine Black Quill Awards will be announced on February 9th. I'm quite curious to see who is going to win in each category, as there are some strong contenders. You can click HERE to see the listed nominees.
The Dark Genre Novel of the Year category appears to be stacked: Gillian Flynn's Dark Places, Brian Keene's Castaways, Sarah Langan's Audrey's Door, Dan Simmons' Drood, Alexandra Sokoloff's The Unseen, and Sarah Waters' The Little Stranger.
If I had to guess, I'd hazard that Dan Simmons may win that one. But don't hold me to that.
At any rate, congratulations are in order for all of the nominees, and best wishes to all whether they receive an award or not.
Then there are the Horror Writers Association's Bram Stoker Awards, which will be held later in the year. The preliminary ballots in each category were announced only a day or two ago. Think of it as a long list, before the official nominees list is announced. You can find the preliminary list HERE at Dark Wolf's Fantasy Reviews. The HWA will have their work cut out for them picking four or five from each to short list. I don't envy that task from such a wellspring of talented writers.
Again, a hearty congratulations to everyone who has made it this far in the nomination process.
February 5, 2010
Who Will Win a Black Quill? Who Will Win a Stoker?

Guidelines Summary
In January, 2015, the Endocrine Society released new guidelines on the treatment of obesity to include the following: [83, 84]
Diet, exercise, and behavioral modification should be included in all obesity management approaches for body mass index (BMI) of 25 kg/m 2 or higher. Other tools, such as pharmacotherapy for BMI of 27 kg/m 2 or higher with comorbidity or BMI over 30 kg/m2 and bariatric surgery for BMI of 35 kg/m 2 with comorbidity or BMI over 40 kg/m 2, should be used as adjuncts to behavioral modification to reduce food intake and increase physical activity when this is possible.
Drugs may amplify adherence to behavior change and may improve physical functioning such that increased physical activity is easier in those who cannot exercise initially. Patients who have a history of being unable to successfully lose and maintain weight and who meet label indications are candidates for weight loss medications.
To promote long-term weight maintenance, the use of approved weight loss medication (over no pharmacological therapy) is suggested to ameliorate comorbidities and amplify adherence to behavior changes, which may improve physical functioning and allow for greater physical activity in individuals with a BMI of 30 kg/m 2 or higher or in individuals with a BME of 27 kg/m 2 and at least one associated comorbid medical condition (eg, hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and obstructive sleep apnea).
If a patient's response to a weight loss medication is deemed effective (weight loss of 5% or more of body weight at 3 mo) and safe, it is recommended that the medication be continued. If deemed ineffective (weight loss less than 5% at 3 mo) or if there are safety or tolerability issues at any time, it is recommended that the medication be discontinued and alternative medications or referral for alternative treatment approaches be considered.
In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are overweight or obese, antidiabetic medications that have additional actions to promote weight loss (such as glucagon-like peptide-1 [GLP-1] analogs or sodium-glucose-linked transporter-2 [SGLT-2] inhibitors) are suggested, in addition to the first-line agent for type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity, metformin.
In obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who require insulin therapy, at least one of the following is suggested: metformin, pramlintide, or GLP-1 agonists to mitigate associated weight gain due to insulin. The first-line insulin for this type of patient should be basal insulin. This is preferable to using either insulin alone or insulin with sulfonylurea.
Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), and calcium channel blockers, rather than beta-adrenergic blockers, should be considered as first-line therapy for hypertension in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are obese.
In women with BMI of more than 27 kg/m 2 with comorbidities or BMI of more than 30 kg/m 2 seeking contraception, oral contraceptives are suggested over injectable medications because of weight gain with injectables, provided that women are well informed about risks and benefits (ie, oral contraceptives are not contraindicated).

On Thursday a bad-to-the-bone lady Maoist Sarada Sabar (38) assumed name Sukumari who had went underground since 2012 surrendered in Rayagada region of Odisha before the neighborhood Superintendent of Police (SP) K. Siva Subramani. Prior she was a key equipped unit of Bansadhara Division of prohibited CPI (Maoist) organization while it was being driven by Sabyasachi Panda, Uday and Azad. Many cases identified with Maoist violence were pending against this woman who hailed from Pataguda village under Padmapur police station in Rayagada district.
Disintegrating health condition, danger of trade of fire with security powers, frustration towards violent exercises and hardship has provoked her to return back to her village in 2012. She was likewise panicky of getting arrested by police for her past Maoist movement. Along these lines, to avoid arrest she had preferred to escape to Bengaluru to go underground. At long last she had chosen to return back to her home to lead ordinary life. Thus, she chose to surrender.
As indicated by police sources, she had been dragged into the brutal organizations due to her first marriage. At 18 years of age she had got married to one Prahlad Sabar. Following three months of marriage, Prahlad had got impacted by Sabyasachi and had joined the Maoist organization. Following two years Prahalad had convinced Sarada to become a Maoist framework.
Prahlad had been killed in an accidental firing by his naxalite partner while they were included in the murder of a temporary worker named Madhav Sabar at Narayanpur in Gajapati region. Later she had got married to a Maoist named Prakash Kimbaka. But Prakash had surrendered before police later. Sarada had married one Suku Sabar of Pataguda after that. She proceeds with this third marriage and wants to lead normal life once more. As indicated by the Rayagada SP, she would be restored according to standards of state government for surrendering naxalites.

Two volunteers from the Cincinnati Area Chapter of the American Red Cross left Friday afternoon and drove to West Virginia to assist residents affected by a chemical spill.
According to the Associated Press, schools and restaurants are closed, grocery stores sold out of bottled water, and state legislators who had just started their session canceled the day's business after a chemical spill in the Elk River in Charleston shut down much of the city and surrounding counties even as the cause and extent of the incident remained unclear.
Shortly after the Thursday spill from Freedom Industries hit the river and a nearby treatment plant, a licorice-like smell enveloped parts of the city, and Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin issued an order to customer of West Virginia American Water: Do not drink, bathe, cook or wash clothes with tap water.
Red Cross volunteers Diana Morgan and Jim Brazzel took our Emergency Response Vehicle to the American Red Cross Chapter in Charleston, West Virginia.
The volunteers will assist in the bulk distribution of large quantities of water to the thousands of residents affected by the spill.
Volunteers from the Dayton Chapter of the American Red Cross sent out two volunteers to the spill Friday morning.

My drives were brand new and so I believed that the problem had to be in the drivers. In my case, there was no corruption. There was much patching and tweaking until I found that some of my drives wouldn't transfer at the advertised udma5 rate. Using hdparam, I set the udma mode to 4 and they worked OK though at reduced throughput. Before I was done, I switched to the hpt37x2 driver and found that the drives ran fine at the advertised udma5 rate. IMHO, there is a strong indication that there be some problem with the IDE driver in 2.4.18 and DMA. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to email@example.com with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
