In recent years, virtual reality (VR) has emerged as a game-changing technology that has transformed the way designers work on Computer-Aided Design (CAD) projects. VR has enabled designers to create immersive 3D environments where they can visualize and manipulate CAD models in real-time, improving the quality of design and reducing the design time. In this article, we will discuss the impact of virtual reality on CAD design and visualization, how it works, and the benefits it provides.
With the increasing demand for complex and sophisticated designs, designers are constantly seeking new tools to improve their work. CAD design software has been around for a while and has helped designers to create precise models, but it lacks the immersive experience that VR provides. VR allows designers to visualize and manipulate CAD models in real-time, providing them with a more intuitive and natural experience. In the following sections, we will explore the impact of virtual reality on CAD design and visualization.
How VR Works
Virtual reality technology uses specialized software and hardware to create a simulated environment that mimics the real world. The hardware used in VR includes head-mounted displays, motion sensors, and input devices like controllers. When a designer puts on the VR headset, they are transported into a 3D virtual environment where they can interact with CAD models in real-time. The motion sensors track the designer’s movements and adjust the view of the CAD model accordingly. The input devices like controllers allow the designer to manipulate the model using their hands, providing a more natural and intuitive experience.
Benefits of VR in CAD Design and Visualization
Virtual reality has enabled designers to collaborate more effectively, irrespective of their physical location. By sharing the same virtual environment, designers can work on the same CAD model in real-time, providing immediate feedback and reducing the time required for design iterations.
Enhanced Design Quality
With VR, designers can visualize their CAD models in 3D, providing a more realistic representation of the final product. This helps designers to identify design flaws and rectify them early in the design process, reducing the time and cost of design changes.
Reduced Design Time
Virtual reality provides designers with an immersive experience that helps them to visualize the final product in real-time. This reduces the time required for design iterations and helps designers to complete the design process faster.
Increased Client Satisfaction
Virtual reality enables designers to showcase their designs to clients in a more realistic and immersive manner. Clients can visualize the final product and provide feedback in real-time, improving the overall satisfaction with the design process.
Applications of VR in CAD Design and Visualization
Architecture and Construction
Virtual reality has revolutionized the architecture and construction industry. Architects can create immersive 3D environments where clients can experience the design in real-time. This helps clients to visualize the final product and provide feedback early in the design process.
Automotive and Aerospace
Virtual reality has enabled automotive and aerospace designers to create more realistic and accurate models. Designers can visualize the models in 3D, helping them to identify design flaws and rectify them early in the design process.
Product Design and Manufacturing
Virtual reality has enabled designers to create more complex and sophisticated product designs. Designers can visualize the product in 3D and manipulate it in real-time, helping them to identify design flaws and reduce the design time.
Challenges of VR in CAD Design and Visualization
While virtual reality has transformed the way designers work, there are some challenges that need to be addressed. The hardware required for VR is expensive and requires specialized skills to operate. Also, the immersive experience provided by VR can cause motion sickness and other health issues if not used correctly.
Virtual reality has transformed the way designers work on CAD projects. With the ability to visualize and manipulate CAD models in real-time, VR has improved the quality of design and reduced the design time. The benefits of VR in CAD design and visualization include improved collaboration, enhanced design quality, reduced design time, and increased client satisfaction. VR has applications in various industries, including architecture, automotive, aerospace, and product design. While there are challenges that need to be addressed, the future of VR in CAD design and visualization looks promising.

No hiding from FSA regulation
Compliancy Services Limited has warned mortgage brokers and financial service providers that the FSA isn’t the only organisation likely to identify omissions in their adherence of the new regulations. Annual company audits will also highlight discrepancies which must be reported for Plc’s and limited companies.
“During the process of internal and external audits a check must be made to ensure that the firms, regulated by the FSA, have the prescribed processes and procedures in place and that staff become and continue to be competent in their role” warns Tony Worthy, Managing Director Compliancy Services Ltd. “There remain a large number of mortgage brokers and financial service providers, who are regulated firms, that have yet to adhere to the regulations. They will find that their auditor must bring the matter to the attention of the directors and/or report the nature of the breach in the audited accounts before sign off. A notice of this nature could affect the relationship between a business and its financiers”.
“It is therefore vital that mortgage brokers and financial service providers who have yet to comply with the commitments made when gaining authorisation, take steps to adhere to the new FSA regulations as a matter of priority. Although the FSA announced transitional arrangements just before General Insurance day, time will very quickly run out for those businesses who are not yet compliant”, continues Worthy.
“There is still time for these mortgage brokers and financial advisors to fulfill the stipulations demanded by the FSA and ensure they are compliant. At Compliancy Services Ltd, we offer a fast track solution to help minimise the time pressure already on mortgage brokers by combining templates which enable financial service providers to align their business to the procedures and processes required by the FSA. All the documents are available online to provide easy access and help businesses meet their obligations in a fast and effective manner”.
“In addition, the service offers online training for staff in the General Principles of Insurance and the FSA Regulations, plus, access to Comply-INS which offers online testing on those subjects and the insurance products on which individual businesses mediate”.

BERLIN — Herbert Diess, who helped restore Volkswagen’s reputation after a costly and embarrassing diesel emissions scandal and bring the company into the electric age, resigned unexpectedly Friday after a tenure marked by friction with the carmaker’s powerful labor union.
His abrupt resignation at a critical juncture for Volkswagen is sure to raise fresh questions about the company’s convoluted governance structure, an uneasy balance of power among labor representatives, local government and descendants of Ferdinand Porsche, who oversaw construction of the Beetle in the 1930s.
The giant automaker said Mr. Diess would leave at the end of August, without giving a reason for his departure, which the supervisory board said was by “mutual agreement.” He will be replaced on Sept. 1 by Oliver Blume, the chief executive of Porsche, the company’s profitable sports car unit.
While Mr. Diess clashed with labor representatives, it is unlikely he would have resigned if he still had the trust of the Porsche and Piëch families, which own a majority of the voting shares in Volkswagen. Mr. Pötsch is a confidant of the families, and family members hold four of the 20 seats on the company’s supervisory board.
The holding company for the Porsche and Piëch families thanked Mr. Diess for his service but also lavished praise on Mr. Blume, saying in a statement that he “enjoys our special trust.”
Hours before the announcement late Friday afternoon in Germany, Mr. Diess, 63, posted a message on his social media channels thanking employees for their work in the first half of the year and wishing them a good vacation. He made no mention of his impending departure.
“After a really stressful first half of 2022 many of us are looking forward to a well-deserved summer break,” he said.
Mr. Diess’s future at Volkswagen had been in doubt on multiple occasions during his four years as chief executive, a post that predecessors typically held for a decade or longer. Last fall, he clashed with the company’s powerful works council about his electrification strategy and management style.Mr. Blume was often mentioned as a potential successor.
Labor representatives did not bother with the usual perfunctory praise for the outgoing chief executive in statements they issued Friday. Daniela Cavallo, chairwoman of the Volkswagen Works Council, which represents employees, said that jobs and profits should have equal weight in management decisions. “No co-workers should be left behind,” Ms. Cavallo said. “Today’s decision contributes to that.”
Mr. Diess joined Volkswagen in July 2015, less than three months before the company confessed to rigging diesel cars to conceal illegally high emissions. He had been a high-ranking executive at BMW. Initially, Mr. Diess was the head of the unit that makes Volkswagen brand cars.
In October 2015, he presided over a meeting in which he and the other demoralized executives wrestled with how to restore Volkswagen’s good name. They decided that the best way to shake Volkswagen’s reputation as a cynical polluter would be by developing cars without tailpipe emissions.
The decision gave Volkswagen a head start over rivals like Toyota or General Motors in offering cars that were designed from the ground up to run on batteries. Volkswagen sells more electric cars in Europe than Tesla, the all-electric automaker that recently opened an assembly plant outside Berlin.
But Mr. Diess’s outspoken admiration for Tesla and Elon Musk, its chief executive — which led to rumors several years ago that Volkswagen would merge with Tesla — unnerved some people within the company.
And Volkswagen’s electric models have been plagued by software problems that raise questions about its ability to compete with Tesla. Mr. Diess was blamed for failing to get the software problems under control.
The software “simply had too many problems,” Ferdinand Dudenhöffer, a longtime observer of the German auto industry, said in an email. “So far only Tesla has succeeded in developing its software independently. All the other carmakers, including VW, seem to have big problems in making the transition to software-defined cars.”
Last year, Mr. Diess set off a battle with labor leaders when he mentioned that up to 30,000 jobs could eventually be cut as the company turned toward making more electric vehicles, which require fewer parts.
That prompted a committee within the supervisory board to address the tensions between the two sides. There was speculation that Mr. Diess’s job could be on the line, and lists of possible successors circulated. Eventually, in December, he won new backing from the board, but some of his responsibilities were stripped away.
Mr. Blume, Mr. Diess’s successor, is likely to continue Volkswagen’s push into electric vehicles. At Porsche, Mr. Blume oversaw development of the all-electric Taycan, which has been a hit.
But Mr. Blume, 58, will confront the same conflicts that have long made it difficult for anyone to manage Volkswagen, a sprawling global company with 660,000 employees in China, Europe, Latin America, the United States and other locations. The company has a factory in Chattanooga, Tenn., that will soon begin producing the ID.4, an electric sport utility vehicle.
Volkswagen worker representatives hold half the seats on the supervisory board, as is the case at all large German companies. But they have special power at Volkswagen because the state of Lower Saxony, the company’s home base, owns 20 percent of the voting shares, has two seats on the board and usually backs labor.
Mr. Blume will remain chief executive of Porsche, which is preparing to sell shares in an initial public offering.
The dual roles make “a bad governance situation worse,” analysts at Bernstein said in a note to investors. “Both organizations will need clear and present leadership in upcoming months.”
Mr. Blume was born in Braunschweig, Germany, not far from Volkswagen’s headquarters in Wolfsburg, and has worked for the company since 1994. That may give him an advantage that Mr. Diess, who was a relative newcomer, did not have.
Outsiders have often struggled at Volkswagen. The last Volkswagen chief executive to come from outside the company was Bernd Pischetsrieder, another former BMW executive. He was named to the job in 2002 and lasted less than four years.

[ Locations | Map themes & related | Cartographers ]
A well executed and very detailed map from Vander Maelen's monumental atlas of 1827, the Atlas Universel. This atlas was one of the most remarkable world atlases ever produced, anticipating the International Map of the World and showing for the first time the entire land mass of the world on a uniform scale. The entire atlas consisted of 400 maps drawn on a scale of ca. 1:1.6 million, with as precise and accurate information as was then available. This atlas was also the first to be made totally with lithography. This map shows the area on either side of the mouth of the Columbia River. This is a very early map to focus just on this area and a note mentions Lewis & Clark's arrival at the Pacific Ocean. Also included are the tracks of early explorer's ships, including those of Cook and Vancouver. Mt. Rainer, Mt. St. Helen, and Mt. Jefferson are indicated, as is Puget Sound. Forts Astoria and Clatsop, at the mouth of the river, are indicated, and Indian tribes throughout are named. A wonderful and scarce map of the American northwest. $500
"A New Map of the State of California, The Territories of Oregon, Washington, Utah & New Mexico." Philadelphia: Charles Desilver, 1856. 16 x 12 3/4. Lithograph. Original hand color. Very good condition. Denver.
Charles Desilver, one of the many publishers working in Philadelphia during the mid-nineteenth century, issued an atlas of maps based on the famous Tanner-Mitchell-Cowperthwait series. Desilver used much the same information as originally drawn in the 1840s, but updated the maps with new counties, roads, towns, etc. Here the country west of the Rockies is depicted with the state of California and the rest comprised of just four territories: Washington, Oregon, Utah and New Mexico. Settlement in those territories was quite sparse at the time, with some cities shown, and a number of counties developed in the western part of the northern most territories. The map was issued just after the Gadsden Treaty (1854) so the current southern border with Mexico is depicted. Of note are depictions of the southern route proposed for the Pacific Railroad, the Spanish trail from Santa Fe to Los Angeles, the routes of Lewis & Clark and Fremont, and the Oregon Trail. Forts are indicated, as are the territories of various Indian tribes. Of interest is the small section entitled "Middle Park," which is shown as part of Utah, but which is currently part of Colorado (the western part of which is shown as part of Kansas Territory. Overall, a terrific and up-to-date map of the western United States. $575
"Map of Oregon, Washington, and part of British Columbia." Philadelphia: S.A. Mitchell, Jr., 1860. 10 5/8 x 10 1/4. Lithograph. Original hand color. Very good condition. Denver.
In 1860, S. Augustus Mitchell took over his father's business, issuing an atlas which included a map of the new state of Oregon and the Washington Territory. Up to 1859, Oregon Territory had run from the Pacific Ocean to the Continental Divide, but when it was made a state, the eastern border was stopped at approximately the 117th meridian, with what had been the eastern part of the territory attached to Washington, giving that territory an inverted "L" shape. This is one of the few maps to show that configuration, which lasted only until 1863, and this example is an early one, where the territory to the east of Washington is labeled as "Nebraska." In 1861, the area to the east of Washington became "Dacotah" territory and Mitchell changed the map appropriately.
Also of particular interest is the indicate of the "Emigrant Route from the States," that is, the Oregon Trail. It is clearly marked running from the South Pass, through Fort Boisee, and then to the Columbia River at Walla Walla. The western parts of both Oregon and Washington are broken into counties, with towns, forts and rivers indicated. In the western parts, some settlements and forts are indicated, but mostly it is rivers and lakes and mountains depicted. A rare and fascinating picture of the American Northwest early in its development. $275
"Johnson's Washington and Oregon." New York: Johnson & Ward, 1862. 12 1/2 x 16. Lithograph. Original hand coloring. Very good condition. Denver.
An early version of Johnson's map of the northwest corner of the United States. This map shows a very early configuration of this region, which was originally all the Oregon Territory. In 1853, the northern part was created as the Washington Territory and then in 1859, the Oregon Territory was again reduced to half its size, but in the process became a state. What had been the eastern part of Oregon Territory was attached to Washington, giving it an unusual shape which it retained un 1862, when the eastern part was broken off to become part of Idaho Territory. In this map, most of the development is shown in the west, though information in what would the next year become Idaho includes rivers, topography, and forts and cantonments. $275
"Washington Territory." 1863. 16 5/8 x 21 3/8. Lithograph. Published in Washington by the U.S. Government Printing Office in 1864. Folded as issued. Fragile at folds, but complete.
A fascinating map showing knowledge of this area during the years of the American Civil War. $110
A.J. Johnson. "Johnson's Washington, Oregon, and Idaho." New York: Johnson & Ward, 1863. Unrecorded variant. 12 5/8 x 15 5/8. Lithograph. Original hand coloring. A couple small spots; otherwise very good condition.
A previously unrecorded version of Johnson's map of the northwest corner of the United States. This map shows a very early configuration of this region, which was originally all the Oregon Territory. In 1853, the northern part was created as the Washington Territory, and this configuration stayed until 1863 when the eastern part was broken off to form the Idaho Territory, when Congress passed the Organic Act. Just a year later this territory was again broken up, so the part east of the Rocky Mountain ridge became the Montana Territory. This map was issued during the short period when the Idaho Territory was at its largest extent, a configuration depicted on the map. According to Ira Lourie, of the US Johnson Map Project, this is a previously unrecorded version of this map, which he numbers 7.5. The previous version, 7.0, has "British Possessions" in the upper left corner. The next version, 8.0 (cf. below), has "British Columbia" instead. In this version, possibly unique, "Columbia" was added, but "Possessions" was not erased. $300
"Map of Oregon, Washington and Part of Idaho." Philadelphia: S. A. Mitchell, Jr., 1863. 10 3/4 x 13 3/8. Lithograph. Original hand-coloring. Very good condition. Denver.
For most of the middle part of the nineteenth century, the firm founded by S. Augustus Mitchell dominated American cartography in output and influence. This fine map is from one of his son's atlases issued in 1863. That year the territory of Idaho was established out of parts of the Oregon, Washington and Dakota Territories. It included most of what is today is Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. Just a year later, the eastern part of the territory was divided between the new territory of Montana and the remainder back to Dakota. This is the only version of Mitchell's map to show the very large Idaho, though it does not take in the entire eastern part of the territory. $175
"Colton's Map of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, British Columbia & Montana." New York: J.H. Colton, 1864. 16 3/4 x 26 3/4. Lithograph. Full original hand-coloring. Very good condition. Denver.
An excellent map of the northwestern part of the United States, along with southern British Columbia. This area was going through many changes in the early 1860s because of the increase settlement in the northwest, but also because of the Idaho Gold Rush (1860-63). From 1846, all of the United States west of the Rockies and north of California had consisted of the Oregon Territory and then, in 1854, of Oregon and Washington Territories. In 1863, Idaho Territory was created in the eastern part, but also including what had been the western part of the Dakota Territory to the east of the Continental Divide. This territory was too large for administrative purposes, so a year later, in 1864, the northeastern part of this large Idaho Territory was broken off as the Montana Territory. This map was issued in that year, showing the new territory. What had been the southeastern part of Idaho (essentially present-day Wyoming) was attached back to Dakota Territory, as it is shown here.
This region was a "happening" place in the 1860s and this map includes an impressive amount of information. The settlement and development of Oregon and Washington east of the Cascades is nicely illustrated, while in the eastern parts mostly Indian tribes are shown. The gold rush settlements and development in Idaho and Montana are clearly depicted, as are forts and Indian tribes. With the movement of prospectors and settlers throughout the region shown, it is particularly interesting that the map includes many of the early trails, including "Emigrant Road," "Pony Express Route," the "Overland Mail Route," and "Cherokee Trail," as well as routes of early explorers such as Fremont, Stansbury, and Mullen. $325
"Map of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and part of Montana." Philadelphia: S. Augustus Mitchell, Jr., ca. 1864. 10 3/4 x 13 3/8. Lithograph. Original hand color. Very good condition. Denver.
In 1863, Idaho was created as a huge territory from the eastern parts of Washington Territory and the western part of Dakota Territory. A year later, Idaho was shrunk down to essentially the lands west of the Continental Divide, with Montana created out of the northeastern parts. This map shows that configuration. Montana's first capital was Bannack City, the site of the gold rush which began a couple years before. The next year the capital was moved to Virginia City, but this map shows Bannack City as the capital. Also of interest are the indications of the gold mines in Idaho (the reason it was settled and made into a territory), the "emigrant route" leading to Oregon and Washington, and the proposed route of the Northern Pacific Railroad. $175
Johnson and Ward. "Johnson's Washington, Oregon, and Idaho." 1864. 13 5/8 x 15 1/2. Lithograph. Original hand color. Very good condition.
An updated version of the above map by Johnson and Ward showing new political boundaries. Whereas the 1863 edition of Johnson's map showed the newly created Idaho Territory, which came on the heels of the newly formed Washington Territory, this map illustrates new divisions with the introduction of the Montana and Dakota Territories. The middle and northern sections of Idaho's present eastern boundary approximate what is shown on this map, but the south-eastern section extends to the 110th meridian, apparently until Wyoming came along. Interestingly, the eastern boundary lines to the north are credited to the influence of one man, Sidney Edgerton, an Ohio congressman, who relocated to the Idaho Territory for a judicial appointment. Originally, the Idaho legislature had proposed that the eastern border follow the Continental Divide. Feeling jilted with his placement in the north of the Territory east of the Rockies, Edgerton exercised his influence in Washington and allied with his neighbors in Montana to push the state line westward, from the Rocky Mountains to the ridgeline formed by the Coeur d'Alene and Bitterroot Mountains. $225
"Map of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and part of Montana." Philadelphia: S. Augustus Mitchell, Jr., 1872. 10 3/4 x 13 3/8. Lithograph. Original hand color. Very good condition. Denver.
Another version of Mitchell's map of the American northwest, dated on the map as 1872. Of note in this version is a bold dashed line crossing Montana, Idaho and Oregon, in which it branches with one route going to Wallula and one to Puget City.

Frank A. Gray. "Map of Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia." From Gray's Atlas. 1873. 14 5/8 x 12. Original hand color. Small stain in lower Oregon. Otherwise, very good.
A nicely detailed and very early map of the northwestern part of the United States by the Philadelphia firm of O.W. Gray. The firm began its publishing around mid-century and published regional and U.S. atlases up to the 1880s, first as O.W. Gray and then O.W. Gray & Son. This map is typical of their work, presenting the latest information available with clear and precise detail. Detail includes topography, rivers, settlements, Indian tribes and even early railroads and the shipping route to the mouth of the Columbia River. For its attractive presentation and interesting detail make it a nice example of late nineteenth century American cartography. $125
"Oregon and Washington." Philadelphia: O.W. Gray, 1875. 14 3/4 x 12. Lithograph. Original hand color. Very good condition. Denver.
A nicely detailed map of the state of Oregon and territory of Washington by the Gray map publishing firm out of Philadelphia. They are shown with their present borders, which were established about a decade before this map. The map shows the considerable development in the region just a year before the nation's centennial. Of particular interest are the railroads, including the California &Oregon and the Northern Pacific as far north as Olympia. $125
"County Map of Oregon, Washington Idaho and Montana." New York: H.H. Lloyd & Co., 1875. 13 5/8 x 22 1/2. Lithograph. Original hand color. Some light smudges in margins and repaired separation at bottom centerfold. Very good condition. Denver.
A terrific map of the American northwest from just before the nation's Centennial. Washington and Oregon had developed with settlers looking for new, fertile land beginning in the 1830s and 40s. When gold and silver were later discovered in Idaho and Washington, the entire northwest began to develop, with miners, farmers and just those looking for a new life. With the completion of the first transcontinental railroad in 1869, there was a demand also for a national line further north. The Northern Pacific Railroad, to run from Wisconsin and Minnesota to Tacoma, Washington, was begun the next year. Though it had ups and downs, it was completed in 1883, providing access to the entire northwest. This excellent map shows the projected route of that railroad, along with other projected and existing rail lines. Also indicated are the various "roads" running throughout, including the "New Worked Emigrant Road," following the line of the original Oregon Trail. Other information is copious and fascinating, including myriad small towns (some now ghost towns), rivers, lakes, all set into a background of topography and political borders of the current counties. Indian information and notes on mining sites and mineral deposits completes this excellent map. $265
"Colton's Oregon, Washington and Idaho." New York: G.W. & C.B. Colton, 1876. 17 1/4 x 25 1/4. Lithograph. Full original coloring. Chip in top margin and short margins tears, all repaired. Else, very good condition. Denver.
An excellent map of the northwestern part of the United States. This area was going through many changes in the 1870s because of the increase settlement in the northwest, but also because of the lingering effects of the Idaho Gold Rush. From 1846, all of the United States west of the Rockies and north of California had consisted of the Oregon Territory and then, in 1854, of Oregon and Washington Territories. In 1863, Idaho Territory was created in the eastern part, but also including what had been the western part of the Dakota Territory to the east of the Continental Divide. This territory was too large for administrative purposes, so a year later, in 1864, the northeastern part of this large Idaho Territory was broken off as the Montana Territory, and Idaho took on its modern borders.
This region was a "happening" place in the 1870s and this map includes an impressive amount of information. The settlement and development of Oregon and Washington east of the Cascades is nicely illustrated, while in the eastern parts mostly Indian tribes are shown. The gold rush settlements and development in Idaho and western Montana are clearly depicted, as are forts and Indian tribes. Also of note is the depiction of Yellowstone National Park, which had only been declared the world's first National Park in 1872 by President Ulysses S. Grant. A wonderful map of the Northwest from an important time in its history. $150

For most of the middle part of the nineteenth century, S. Augustus Mitchell dominated American cartography. This fine map is from his atlas issued in 1880, and it depicts as current geographical information as was available at the time. Major topographical features are indicated, as are the routes of the principal land explorations and railroads of the nineteenth century. Also shown are major political divisions, highlighted with contrasting colors, giving us an interesting picture of the area in 1880. $75

Published: July 8, 2020 1:36:18 pm
A 94-year-old woman walked out of Gandhi hospital after recovering from COVID-19, making her the oldest patient in the state to successfully fight the disease. Though P Vijayalakshmi, from Chikkadpally in Hyderabad, was admitted with mild symptoms, doctors at Gandhi General Hospital, the state’s nodal COVID-19 treatment center, say that she was psychologically devastated at the time.
Her recovery, they say, is a fine example of how important mental strength is in overcoming the disease. Vijayalakshmi was admitted into the hospital on June 17 after she tested positive. Her younger son had succumbed to the disease and daughter-in-law, who had undergone renal transplantation and was in immunosuppressive therapy, also tested positive for the viral infection. She was discharged from the hospital on Monday.
“She was quite depressed. We would counsel her and show her video messages twice a day from his older son and family who live in the USA. This helped boost her morale and that’s why she could come out successfully,” Dr. Bhumesh Kumar Kadakam, associate professor at Gandhi hospital, told indianexpress.com. The daughter-in-law is also stable and under home isolation.
In a video shared by Gandhi hospital doctors, Vijayalakshmi could be seen expressing satisfaction over the treatment she has received in the hospital. Though older persons might be at greater risk in case of comorbidities, doctors reiterate that sound mental health is as important as medication.
92.2 percent beds are vacant in government hospitals: Government
With 1,879 new cases, the total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Telangana rose to 27,612 on Tuesday. Of them, 11,012 are active and under treatment. 313 persons have succumbed to the disease to date. The state government, which has consistently faced criticism for low testing, has to date tested 1,28,438 samples, according to a medical bulletin.
The office of the director of Public Health and Family Welfare, sharing the details of bed occupancy in government hospitals, said that a total of 92.2 per cent beds are lying vacant as of date.
— Rahul V Pisharody (@rahulvpisharody) July 7, 2020
According to data shared, only 660 of 11928 isolation beds are occupied. Similarly, only 496 of 3537 oxygen beds are occupied. In ICU beds, only 179 of 1616 are occupied. On the whole, 15746 of the total 17081 beds are lying vacant according to the health department.
In Telangana, the Gandhi Hospital, which is identified as the “Centre of Excellence for COVID Care”, is where serious cases of COVID-19 are admitted. The other major government hospitals in Hyderabad where suspects and moderately symptomatic cases are admitted are District Hospital King Koti, Government Chest Hospital, Sir Ronald Ross Institute of Tropical Medicine (Fever hospital). The asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic patients requesting institutional quarantine are admitted to the Nature Cure Hospital, Government Nizamia Hospital, Government Ayurveda Hospital, and Government Homeopathy Hospital, the medical bulletin informed.
In Gandhi hospital, it said, 130 patients are in ICU, 356 patients are on oxygen, and 35 patients are on CPAP(Continuous Positive Airway Pressure). Another 219 patients are in the wards. As many as 1150 beds are vacant in Gandhi hospital, it stated.
The department has also appealed those “with moderate to severe symptoms, with COVID positive report, should go to Gandhi Hospital where the Government has made elaborate arrangements for treatment and management. Patients with symptoms but not yet confirmed and requiring COVID-19 testing should go to District Hospital-King Koti, Fever Hospital and Chest Hospital.” It further claimed that sufficient beds are available in Government hospitals and based on the clinical requirements, beds will be provided and treatment will be given free of cost in Government hospitals.
Governor talks to private hospitals, asks govt to start rapid antigen testing
Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan, a medical doctor herself, held a video conference with representatives of various private hospitals involved in Covid-19 treatment Tuesday. She also discussed the COVID-19 situation in Telangana with Chief Secretary Somesh Kumar and Special Chief Secretary(health) A Santhi Kumari at Raj Bhavan.
Discussed with Private Hospitals on the need to provide cost effective best care transparently to benefit the middle class & poor amidst pandemic stress My appeal not as First Citizen but as one among the common citizens.Public concerns on bills,bed availability& Testing delays pic.twitter.com/9DF3sBic1R
— Dr Tamilisai Soundararajan (@DrTamilisaiGuv) July 7, 2020
Pulmonologists who attended the virtual meeting warned of a drastic increase in the number of cases in the coming months and said hospitals with thousands of beds should be made ready by the government.
Stating that hospitals should maintain transparency at every level to win overconfidence of the patients, the governor said that the patients and attendants need to be explained about price policy, estimates, possible extra costs due to various co-morbid conditions, etc in advance and that no one should be denied treatment. Hospitals need to come up with moderate charges and economy packages for making the treatment affordable, she said.
Soundararajan has also advised the hospitals as well as the state government to come up with a Plasma Bank to offer plasma therapy for certain critical cases. One of her key suggestions to the government was to start rapid antigen testing where results can be known in half-an-hour. It should be immediately organized by the government, as some states have started the Antigen testing, she said in a statement issued to the media.
The government should take concrete steps to flatten the curve by increasing the number of tests and tracing contacts on a war footing, she added.
Asking private hospitals to avoid any delay in generating test reports that may further delay commencement of treatment, the governor called for expediting the generation of testing reports, improving testing facilities, and ensuring affordable treatment to the patients. “Hospitals need to offer video consultation and counseling, as well as telemedicine facilities round the clock to the patients in home quarantine,” she said. Since medicines like Remdesivir are expensive, she asked the state government to look for means to procure such medicines at a concessional rate.

Heath Orientation. Fifth Edition Table of Contents. Fourth Edition Table of Contents. Concise Edition Table of Contents. Authors by Name. Authors by Year. Internet Research Guide. She currently writes and teaches in northern California. In her poetry, fiction, essays, and autobiography, she writes eloquently of the indignities a Chicana lesbian feminist overcomes as she escapes the strictures of patriarchal Chicano traditions and confronts the injustices of dominant culture.
Chicana mestizaje in the late twentieth century can be seen as a new genre that describes the cultural and linguistic global connections between Chicana writers and writers of the Americas. The bilingual title of her book illustrates the transcultural experience of border dwellers and border consciousness. English and Spanish co-exist for Mexican-descent people of the borderlands. These issues culminate in what she calls a new consciousness for the women who examine and question the restrictions placed on them in the borderlands of the United States.
She also provides alternative metaphors to the ones promoted by androcentric psychologists and priests. Through these icons mestizas can unlearn the masculinist versions of history, religion, and myth. Mestiza methodology offers strategies for unearthing a razed indigenous history as a process of coming to consciousness as political agents of change.
With the new knowledge they learn of the central importance of female deities rendered passive with Western androcentric ideology.

Gloria Anzaldúa’s Poetics of Borders
From the Great Above she opened her ear to the Great Below. From the Great Above the goddess opened her ear to the Great Below. It is an autobiography, an historical and social critique, a manifesto of Chicana identity, a theoretical and practical understanding of borders and their effect on the body and the psyche of those who populate them, and also a storytelling session. Its the legitimization of a language. As a writer who inscribes upon her body generations of pain and torture from marginalization, it represents a plunging into the depth of the soul, the place of darkness and fear from which she will discover the way to a new mestiza consciousness.
Borderlands is a semi-autobiographical account that contains a mixture of prose and poetry. El otro Mexico que aca hemos construido, el espacio es lo que ha sido territorio nacional. Este el efuerzo de todos nuestros hermanos y latinoamericanos que han sabido progressar. The other Mexico that we have constructed, the space is what has become national territory.

Debunking Still More Historical Myths
During the American Revolution,
fertile farms were looted so often by both sides the inhabitants frequently
became looters themselves, if only to survive.
Called the "neutral ground," the countryside eventually became a sinister wasteland full of marauding bands of outlaws.
Many of its guerrillas switched allegiance between rebel and loyalist as circumstances suited them.
Westchester’s Accidental Heroes
Westchester’s Accidental Heroes
On Saturday morning, September 23, 1780, John Paulding, 24, Isaac Van Wart, 17, and David Williams, 24, members of an impromptu patriot patrol, are playing cards near the bridge over Clark’s Kill (now called "André's Brook"), the northern boundary of
Actually they are "volunteer militiamen" operating under a recently enacted
law permitting them to claim property found on a
captured enemy. The trio are part of a larger group of seven self-appointed freelancers
hoping to intercept a smuggler or trader taking advantage of the active commerce
still carried on between the loyalist city and patriot countryside. New
Meanwhile, a worried horseman, John Anderson, heads southwest through the Pocantico Hills on the old Bedford-Tarrytown-Road (Route 448). John Anderson is the name on the pass he carries signed by Gen. Benedict Arnold. He is actually Major John André, 30, deputy Adjutant General to British Gen. Henry Clinton, Commander-in-Chief of British forces in
He reaches the
Albany Post Road (Route 9) just north of Clark's Kill. After consulting his sketch map, Anderson
gallops his horse across the bridge over the little stream marking the northern
boundary of Tarrytown and makes his way up the
slope. A grim-faced John Paulding pointing a musket directly at him suddenly

gather around. New
Paulding's distinctive jacket convinces
among friends. Instead of showing the pass from Anderson that had worked so successfully at
other patriot checkpoints, John Anderson makes a monumental blunder. Arnold
"My lads," he says, "I hope you belong to our party."
"What party might that be?" Paulding asks, innocently.
"The lower party," Anderson answers. The term is a geographical euphemism for the loyalists in British-occupied

Paulding assures him, "Oh, we do, we do." He adds, "My clothing shows that."
Relieved that his ordeal is over,
"I am a British officer and have been up in the country on particular business,
and would not wish to be detained a minute." To prove that he is an
officer, he takes out a gold watch, something no ordinary soldier would

produces Benedict Arnold's pass. Anderson
Paulding, the only one of the three who can read or write, studies it.
"You had best let me go, or you will bring yourselves into trouble,"
warns, "for your stopping me will detain General Arnold's business. I am
going to Dobbs Ferry to meet a person there and get information for him." Anderson
Paulding reflects for a minute. "I hope you will not be offended. We do not mean to take anything from you, but there are many bad people on the road, and I don't know but that you may be one. What is your name?"

to remove his boots, which also conceal nothing. His captors notice that his
stockings fit badly and order him to remove them. Inside one are three sheets
of paper. Anderson
Paulding examines these and exclaims, "He's a spy!" The other stocking contains three other papers. Some are in

patently lame excuse that he received them "of a man at Pine's Bridge, a

An unusual exchange ensues that has troubled historians ever since. Based on their later testimony, the motives of André’s captors may have been less than patriotic. Paulding asks him what he would give to be let go. "Any sum you want," is the answer.
"A hundred guineas with the horse, saddle, bridle--and your watch?" (A guinea was a gold coin worth a pound and a shilling, a total of 21 shillings. The gold coin has not been minted since 1813. Certain amounts, such as philanthropic contributions and bequests, are still quoted in guineas.)
Will you give more?" asks Paulding.
"Any amount you may name, in cash or dry goods,"
assures him. Anderson
Eventually, the amount promised is raised to 10,000 guineas--a king's ransom.
offers to write a letter to be sent
to the British outpost at Dobbs Ferry for the money. Fearing this might result
in their capture or in a retaliatory attack, the trio declines. His captors
take his horse, bridle and saddle, gold watch, and the Continental paper money. He also surrenders a silver watch. Anderson
Lofty patriotic motives were later attributed to the three captors of Major John André, but their real reason probably was booty. The captors later sold André's silver watch, horse and bridle, and divided the money among the seven members of their original party.
Paulding, Van Wart and Williams were each given the thanks of Congress, a silver medal bearing the inscription “Fidelity,” an annual federal pension of $200 and a farm by

In 1817, when Paulding applied to Congress for an increase in the amount of his annuity. Benjamin Tallmadge, by then a member of Congress from
opposed any increase because Paulding and his companions had been amply
rewarded for their patriotism in making André a prisoner. He persuaded Congress not to grant the men a requested pension increase, publicly
assailing their credibility and motivations. Connecticut
Ironically, it was their search for money in André’s boots that led to the discovery of the papers that sealed his fate. Major John André was hanged as a spy nine days later on October 2, 1780.
We call it the Battle of Bunker Hill. To be historically accurate, it should be called the Battle of Breed's Hill. Had the battle indeed been fought principally on
the outcome would have been vastly different.
In 1775, the British were bottled up in
by American forces. Bunker Hill and Breed's Hill, connected to the mainland by
narrow Charleston Neck, gave commanding views of Boston harbor. Col. William Prescott was
ordered to fortify Boston Bunker Hill. He crossed
Charlestown Neck with 1,000 men.
Upon arriving at the base of Bunker Hill,
asked his officers for their advice. After a two-hour discussion, it was
decided to erect the main fortification on Breed's Hill and a secondary defense
on Prescott Bunker Hill.
This was a critical error. Military experts believe that 110-foot-high
could have been made virtually impregnable. Breed's Hill,
only 62 feet high, was untenable--as the outcome of the battle proved--and had
no strategic value to the Americans.
Working at night,
Prescott's men threw up a well-designed earthwork on Breed's Hill, protected by outlying breastworks. To Gen.
William Howe, the British commander, this affront was intolerable.
Howe cannonaded the defenses from warships in the harbor and landed redcoats from landing barges. Heavily-laden British soldiers toiled up the slopes of
only to be met by withering fire from the defenders, who had been ordered to
target officers, easily identifiable by the metal gorgets they wore around their necks.
The British fell back and regrouped. A second time the redcoats struggled up the slope and were again met with the same intense fire. American Gen. Israel Putnam rode to nearby Bunker Hill to get volunteers to reinforce the defenses on
Hill. He explained his lack of success to Colonel Prescott by
saying, "I could not drive the dogs." is alleged to have observed wryly
that he "might have led them up." Prescott
After a third devastating advance up the hill, the British took the redoubt. The American militia, short of ammunition and lacking bayonets, retreated.
American casualties totaled 140 killed and 301 wounded; of the latter, 30 were captured. British losses were heavier: 226 dead and 828 wounded.
American targeting of officers took a terrible toll. Every one of Howe's officers was either killed or wounded. Twenty major battles were fought during the Revolution. One-eighth of all British officers killed in these 20 battles fell at the
Bunker Hill action; one-sixth of all British officers
wounded in these 20 battles were wounded in the Battle of Bunker Hill.

FROM Mona Hanna-Attisha
Poisoned Water Poisons Public Trust Almost two years ago, the city of Flint, Michigan began drawing water from the Flint River in order to save money. Local and state officials were well aware that corrosion from lead pipes might contaminate the drinking supply — but they failed to take well-established precautionary measures. For 18 months, they ignored or dismissed reports of lead levels rising in the blood of many children. Those reports turned out to be all too true. In last night’s State of the State speech, Republican Governor Rick Snyder took responsibility. He’s refused demands for his resignation even though he admits he helped cause the problem. But local officials and the Obama Administration share the blame, pushing trust in government to an all-time low in a largely black city of 99,000 people. Is this story of cost-cutting, cover-ups and aging infrastructure a wake-up call for other American cities?
Janesville and the American Dream Janesville, Wisconsin is the hometown of Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan. But he couldn’t prevent the closing of the General Motors factory after 100 years. On this Memorial Day rebroadcast of To the Point, we hear what’s happened to what once was a model of American middle-class unity.
Ex-FBI Director Comey tells his side of the story Today, former FBI Director James Comey came close to calling the President who fired him a liar. The White House denied the claim and called it insulting, but Republican Senators did not challenge Comey’s truthfulness. Many questions remain: did the President try to obstruct a federal investigation? Later, we’ll go behind the “velvet rope” for a look at 5-Star health care for the richest Americans.
What is Trump's plan for Middle East peace? On his first foreign tour, President Trump has promised "peace" between Israel and the Palestinians. Are there any details for re-starting talks that have been stalled for the past three years?
What happens when America retreats from the world? Is President Trump taking his "America First" agenda to extremes, withdrawing the country from the international stage on trade and climate change, distancing America from its traditional allies across the Atlantic and even threatening to physically isolate the country through the building of a wall along its southern border? León Krauze guest hosts.

Lemmy's intro wasn't instrumental, it was direct, and simple: "We are Motörhead. We play rock'n'roll." For those of you that only associated Lemmy and Co. with "Ace of Spaces," there may not have been much to do except bang your head, which is something Motörhead fans do a lot. There was a mix of old and new, drawn from early records, such as Ace of Spades and the live No Sleep 'til Hammersmith to the 2006 release, Kiss of Death. The purpose of joining the Metal Masters tour, I imagine, was to promote their recent release of Motörizer (in stores about three days prior to the show - another must have on my list). We Motörhead fans, however, were banging our heads to classics such as "Metropolis," "Overkill" and "Stay Clean" (from Overkill) "Over the Top," (first appeared on Hammersmith) "Killed by Death," (first appearing on the live No Sleep at All) and yes, of course, "Ace of Spades." I confess to feeling a little disappointed that "Iron Fist" wasn't played, but it was a short show with no more than eleven tracks (Hammersmith had that many on the original vynil LP), and I enjoyed the entire performance.
One highlight of Motörhead's show was Mickey Dee's drum solo, as visually stimulating as it was aural. at one point, Dee started chucking his right drum stick, one after the other in rapid succession, twirling high in the air before falling. If I had been allowed to take a camera in, I would have posted video, it was that amazing. Guitarist Phil Campbell, 25-year veteran of Motörhead not only kept up with Kilmister, but brought his own flair to the stage on such new classics as "Be my Baby" (Kiss of Death). He took the mic a few times to plug the new album. He also did a synchronized step with Lemmy during the intro of "Metropolis," an unexpected bit of choreography. But Motörhead shows are now, and have always been, a celebration of the JD guzzling, Dorito-chomping, Muttonchop-wearing, bass-thumping, Godfather of Metal, Lemmy Kilmister, who brought it full circle for us at the end of his show, reminding us of our metallic roots: "We are Motörhead and we play rock'n'roll!" With that, he turned up his amp full blast, leaned his signature bass against the amp and let it feed back endlessly as he left the stage.

Adults with autism face a greater risk of sexual victimization than their typically-developing peers, researchers say, and a lack of education could be part of the reason why.
In a survey of adults with and without autism, 78 percent of those on the spectrum reported at least one instance of sexual victimization compared to less than half of their typically-developing peers.
People with autism were more than twice as likely to say that had been raped and over three times as likely to report unwanted sexual contact, according to findings published in the September issue of the Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders.
For the study, researchers surveyed 95 adults with autism and 117 without, ages 19 to 43. Individuals were asked about unwanted sexual contact and their knowledge of contraception, reproductive health and other issues surrounding sexuality.
“Some may not know that the experience they had is actually classified as sexual victimization. But if you give them a specific situation, like someone touching you inappropriately after you said no, they may be more able to identify that it has happened to them,” said Stephanie Brown-Lavoie of York University in Toronto who worked on the study.
Those with autism indicated in the survey that they were less likely to learn about sex from their parents, peers or teachers, instead turning to television and going online for information.

The World Bank said, on Wednesday, it had approved a new $7 billion partnership agreement with Egypt for 2023-2027 with a focus on boosting private sector jobs, provision of better health and education services, and adaptation to climate change, Reuters reports.
The Country Partnership Agreement (CPF) will entail $1 billion per year from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) and about $2 billion over five years from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a statement from the World Bank said.
Among the goals of the programme is to help create a level playing field for the private sector and to encourage investment and improve resilience to shocks through better macroeconomic management, the statement added.
Egypt’s economy has come under severe pressure over the past year, after the fallout from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine exposed underlying problems.
The government has announced ambitious privatisation plans but sales of state assets have been repeatedly delayed.
Also, on Wednesday, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), part of the World Bank Group, announced that it had partnered with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and Egypt’s Sovereign Fund to develop desalination plants in Egypt through a public-private partnership model.
The scheme is part of Egypt’s plan to increase desalinated water supply by 8.8 million cubic metres of water daily by 2050, with the first plants to be located in the north coast region of Marsa Matrouh, the IFC said.
Egypt depends almost entirely on the River Nile for fresh water supplies, and is considered at high risk from the impacts of climate change.


The world is different for young people, that much seems to be clear. On average, that also seems to be a good thing! Child mortality has dropped by 78.5% since 1960, vehicular deaths have decreased by 35.6% since 1979, and cancer survivability for leukemia—a common cancer in children—has increased from around 10% in 1960 to over 90% today. And while rates of cigarette-smoking have decreased as well, rates of Vaping—a new type of electronic cigarette—have increased by a whopping 640% between 2011 and 2015.
What are the current trends in youth smoking?
In 1997 36.5% of high school seniors had smoked cigarettes in the past 30 days. By 2018, this number had decreased by 79.8% to just 7.6%. Part of this was related to the significant interventions that had been in place to regulate youth access to tobacco products. It was partly related to increased education and prevention efforts. And it was partly related to cutting the ability for Big Tobacco to market products to children. Well, these smoking trends are seeming to now reverse themselves. The New England Journal of Medicine has reported that rates of smoking are now on the rise. 1 in 4 high school seniors are now reporting tobacco use in the last 30-days. What’s more, is that 1 in 5 10th graders, and 1 in 11 8th graders are also reporting 30-day use.
What is “Vaping” and how did it get so popular?
Electronic cigarettes use a heating element to atomize a liquid solution that contains nicotine. Instead of smoke, the user inhales the atomized water vapor. While many of the carcinogenic components of traditional cigarettes are removed, making e-cigarettes a viable option for traditional smokers to step-down to a safer method, the addictive nicotine and other carcinogens are still contained in the vapor. This is often the argument used when people say that “vaping is safter than smoking.” The argument is untrue. The concentrations of nicotine are, potentially, significantly higher than traditional cigarettes. And young people smoke the equivalent of several packages of cigarettes using refillable pods, and don’t feel the consequences.
Vaping devices are typically battery powered, and can even be recharged in a USB port or wall outlet. These devises are often refillable, with different “cartridges” available for purchase in different flavors of nicotine products. These are some of the reasons that these devises have gained popularity among young, tech-savvy consumers. Vaping seems cool and modern. The byproducts of vaping are far less offensive than those of traditional cigarettes, pipes, or cigars. And the myriad flavors and styles available to the consumer are attractive to young people. Many of whom are enticed by choices and personalization.
What can we do about Vaping Prevention?
So, now that we understand what we are on the lookout for, how do we respond? Well, the good news is that the response to e-cigarettes does not have to be necessarily different for a parent than their response to something like alcohol, or traditional cigarettes. Parental and peer approval means everything to kids. When parents make known their disapproval to their kids, it maximizes the likelihood of deterrence. Talk to your kids about Vaping. Help them understand the facts. And encourage them to remain drug free.

The horror genre’s nasty feud with Oscar nominees continues, as Juno star Ellen Page has pulled out out of the dark place that is director Sam Raimi’s upcoming horror-thriller Drag Me to Hell. Bloody Disgusting reports that the sweet tart wasn’t happy over the latest draft of the script, which was written by Raimi and his brother Ivan Raimi, but they speculate that this is really “Oscar cold feet.” Page came aboard the film earlier this month.
No word on a replacement, but who would you like to see in the flick? It was described here earlier as “a ’spook-a-blast,’ a wild ride with all the chill and spills of [Raimi’s] The Evil Dead, without relying on the excessive violence of that film.” I’m digging the exploitation-vibe of the title, which recalls grindhouse films like I Spit on Your Grave and Thriller: A Cruel Picture. The plot reportedly revolves around “the unwitting recipient of a supernatural curse” and presumably that’s who Page was going to play. Page will next be seen in Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut, the rollerskating-fem movie Whip It!, due in 2009.
Discuss: Who’s the best replacement for Page? What young actress who hasn’t starred in a horror flick would you like to see take “the plunge”? And after three Spider-Man films and many Jacuzzi nights, does Raimi still have the goods to scare you up a wall and make you do a spit-take back to back?
User comment: By: JojoShe made the right choice. Lets face it starring in this kind of movie wouldn't garner her any praise or oscar nominations and potential win. She should keep doing oscar quality movies.
User comment: By: Scott PerryOne of my favorite films of all time is Evil Dead 2, yes its brillant. It's not original in storytelling ,but its crafty and has every bit of exploitative magic. Evil Dead 2 is a low-budget filmmakers wet dream. The humor is spot on and the movie has the power to creep you out. Especially when you knew where Henrietta was hiding half way through the movie. Anyone who's seen it knows exactly what I'm talking about. The special effects and visuals are amazing. You cannot deny that Evil Dead 2 is a classic, at least in the humor/horror genre of cult films. What Sam Raimi is doing now, I'm partically rooting for him and also not. Sam Raimi has made a sucessful transition to Hollywood films...in a different way. His style of horror is far from what Hollywood are customed to ,but his mainstream filcks are pretty decent, especially Spider-man 1 & 2. Army of Darkness is, what I consider, a product of Hollywood tampering with a genius. Yes, its a cult flick, many people love it ,but it doesn't have the high-energy or the creativity that the first two had. Army of Darkness is way too polished looking, and doesn't have the violence or gore the others had. Not that it made the story better ,but it generated a raw feel that made Evil Dead so anti-Hollywood. I'm worried that this Sam Raimi horror flick will be a product of Hollywood rather than a true product of Sam Raimi's vision. I hope Raimi is able to deliever the goods without the influence of studio heads.
User comment: By: BobI think Raimi still has what it takes. You have to imagine how restricted he must have been dealing with something so iconic as Spiderman. I can just see Avi and Stan standing behind his chair whispering the whole movie shoot. I have faith in Raimi, he has a solid horror foundation and enough cred with Hollywood to get movies done. As for the replacement, I first thought Eliza Dushku, but then I read the part about "not starring in a horror film before." So I'm going to throw out Hayden Panettiere as one choice, obvious draw to the box office. Also would suggest Margo Harshman, although she appears to have just completed the horror/thriller "From Within." Sorry not to familiar with the young Hollywood crowd, maybe Alexa Vega, she seems to have a good foundation of films as well.
User comment: By: Grahamshe seemed pretty stoked on doing it to in interviews o well
User comment: By: AprilI don't mind getting flack for this, but I really enjoyed the remake of When a Stranger Calls coupled with Camilla Belle's performance. Maybe we'll see more of her after 10,000 BC.
User comment: By: SteeloMan she did Hard Candy and she's gonna punk out. I cut for that more than Juno but that's me.
Visit here to subscribe to these commentsUser comment: By: EddieThis happens way too much. I remember Silence of the Lambs being a horror film until it won an Academy Award, then it turned into a "thriller." While there are plenty of poorly done horror films out there that give good horror a bad name it's still a shame that an actor (or actress) can't choose a part because of a great story and not because of "if" it will "ruin" their career. As for Raimi, he's still got the chops. I enjoyed Spider-man, although it had too much angsty-drama in it for me. I didn't bother to return for the two sequels though. I think Raimi is very talented and I can't wait to see what he comes up with for his return to the genre.


Feb 14 - Customs Cigarette Seizure
Customs Officers responded to an incident at British Lines Road in the early hours of Saturday morning.
A Spanish registered vehicle was seen travelling at speed in the area and officers of HM Customs gave pursuit. The vehicle’s driver was challenged when he was stopped in the HM Customs holding area and was arrested after a search of the car resulted in the detection of 15,000 cigarettes.
The driver, a 22-year-old Spanish national resident of Algeciras, has been bailed to surrender on March 7th.
The car and cigarettes have been seized by HM Customs.


– The Egyptian investment minister has held talks with senior Romanian officials in Bucharest on the investment opportunities in Egypt, the Egyptian Investment Ministry said in a statement.
Egypt’s Investment and International Cooperation Minister Sahar Nasr met with Romania’s Deputy Prime Minister Sevil Shhaideh, and presented prospect investments for Romanian businessmen in Egypt, including projects in the Suez Canal economic zone and the under-construction new administrative capital city, said the statement.
“Nasr stressed the importance of distinguished economic relations with Romania, which enjoy a high level of coordination and close points of view,” the statement added.
The Egyptian minister flew to Romania to co-chair a meeting of a joint economic committee to enhance economic cooperation between Cairo and Bucharest.
For her part, the Romanian deputy prime minister commended the ongoing economic reforms in Egypt and said they would improve the investment environment in the Arab country.
Egypt has been facing economic recession over the past few years due to political turmoil and relevant security issues, leading to declining tourism and foreign investments amid growing budget deficit, inflation rate and foreign and domestic debts.
The country started last year a three-year economic reform program, which includes austerity measures, energy subsidy cuts and a floating exchange rate.
Egypt’s reform program is supported by a 12-billion-dollar loan from the International Monetary Fund, a third of which has already been delivered to Egypt in two tranches.

Mr Quain said that processors must stop holding back on the milk price paid to their supplier-farmers, many of whom are experiencing substantial cost increases on inputs often purchased from the same milk processor.
‘The facts speak for themselves: the base Ornua PPI is at 35.5cpl for July milk and with an additional €10.05 m paid to processors on top of this, and dairy markets broadly stable, farmers are fully entitled to expect a base price of 36.5cpl for the milk supplied in
July. We think that is entirely reasonable and does not even take into account the demonstrable fact that milk processors have been holding back on milk price for a number of months and increasing their own profits at the expenses of their suppliers,’ said the ICMSA spokesperson.
Mr Quain noted that for June milk, no less than nine milk processors failed to even pay the equivalent of the base Ornua PPI, while five processors were only marginally ahead of it.
‘It is worth noting that this is the PPI that was significantly altered with a higher milk processing cost of 7cpl factored in at the request of the Co-ops. Farmers are entirely justified in asking where the €9.67m Ornua Value payment paid on June milk has gone? This return has been delivered from the marketplace, but farmers did not see its benefit in June – or indeed any of the previous months.
‘We want Co-op boards to insist that management pay out in full the market return, including the Ornua Value Payment. As far as we’re concerned, that translates to a base milk price of at least 36.5cpl for July milk.
‘It’s time – and past time – that farmers got their fair share of strong dairy markets,’ concluded Mr Quain.
