THUNDER BAY, ON --- March 19, 2015 --- Close to 400 people were on hand this morning at the Victoria Inn to take part in Diversity Thunder Bay’s 9th annual International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination Celebration Breakfast. Despite the early hour, attendees came away both enthused and inspired.
One reason for their enthusiasm was keynote presenter Gabrielle Scrimshaw who spoke on the importance of education for Aboriginal youth.
“We’re growing, we’re young, we’re urbanized and we’re increasingly more educated. We’re really pursuing education as the new buffalo for our people. There’s this population tsunami that’s coming and it’s hitting the workforce”, she said.
Named by the Huffington Post Canada as one of the three young Aboriginal Canadians to watch, Scrimshaw is a proud member of the Hatchet Lake First Nation. She was recognized as Indspires’ 2013 First Nations Youth Recipient considered the highest honour the Indigenous community bestows upon their own achievers.
Another highlight of the event was the presentation of the respect award to the Regional Youth Multicultural Council.
Diversity Thunder Bay is a committee of groups, agencies and individuals working together to foster an equitable community free of racism and discrimination of any kind.

What: Shares of Qualcomm declined by 32.8% in 2015, according toS&P Capital IQdata. Revenue and profit slumped during the year, driven by a decline in chip sales, and ongoing problems with licensing in China have stunted the company's lucrative licensing business.
So what: Qualcomm operates two segments: Qualcomm CDMA Technologies, or QCT, which designs products like app processors, and Qualcomm Technology Licensing, or QTL, which is responsible for monetizing the company's vast collection of patents and intellectual property. QTL produces a majority of Qualcomm's profit, and on a pre-tax basis QTL profits increased by 4% in 2015.
QCT, however, suffered an 8% revenue decline and a 35% decline in pre-tax profit. Overall, the company's revenue fell by 5%, with pre-tax profits plunging 26%. A combination of factors has hurt Qualcomm's QCT segment, including market share gains by Apple at the high-end of the smartphone market and Samsung choosing its own processors for some of its smartphones.
On the licensing side of the business, Qualcomm has had trouble signing royalty agreements with major Chinese OEMs. Qualcomm receives a payment for every device shipped that uses its technology, but the company faced delays signing Chinese OEMs. The company has recently shown progress in this area, but a combination of licensing woes and slumping chip sales pushed the stock down throughout 2015.
Now what: With Qualcomm facing increasing competition in the app processor market, particularly from Asian companies like MediaTek, as well as consolidation in the high end of the smartphone market and a general slowdown in smartphone sales, Qualcomm's chip business may not improve any time soon. The licensing business is in a much stronger position, despite its recent issues, and this puts somewhat of a floor on Qualcomm's earnings. With the stock at its lowest level since 2011, and with a dividend yield of nearly 4% as a result, Qualcomm deserves a look from long-term investors.

Sponsor a child in Israel, and give them a real chance for the future!
When you donate to the Sponsor-A-Child Campaign, you are providing a scholarship for a child to attend a Day Care Center, a Youth Center, or a Boarding School. Help up continue to provide for Israel’s youngest citizens.
PESACH FEED A FAMILY CAMPAIGN
As we come together with family and friends to celebrate the Festival of Freedom, let’s remember the WIZO children and their families.
For 100 years WIZO has provided nutritious meals for vulnerable Israeli children and youth in need, but during the two-week break when Day Care Centers and Youth Villages are closed for Pesach, less fortunate families are not able to provide proper holiday meals without our help.
Help us provide food for the families of 975 children in our Day Care Centers and 1000 teens in our Youth Villages. Please open your heart and make it easier for a WIZO family to celebrate the holiday with dignity and joy.
ROSH HASHANAH FEED A FAMILY CAMPAIGN
WIZO Florida wishes you a year filled with health, happiness, prosperity and sweet moments for you and your family. As the New Year begins, we hope you look into your heart and discover a new sense of sharing the gifts and blessings you have with those who are not so fortunate.
Help us provide a meaningful Rosh Hashanah for countless underprivileged families in Israel. You can make a difference!
HANUKKAH DINNER-LESS DINNER CAMPAIGN
This miracle season, help those in need without having to leave the comfort of your own home. No need to put on your beaded dress, high heels or suit and tie. Don’t worry about babysitters, parking or enduring long speeches. You won’t be served a heavy, carbo-laden fancy meal either. BECAUSE THERE IS NO DINNER!
The joy of lighting a Hanukkah candle is brightest when you see it reflected in a child’s eyes. Give WIZO’s children and youth the chance of a better life. No amount is too small or too large and every little bit counts.
Everything WIZO does is only possible because of your support and generosity!

Hundreds of people have taken over the streets of the city for the second ever Ciclovia Belfast.
Following a successful pilot event last year, Ciclovia – Spanish for Cycle freeway – returned. And the weather joined in.
Ciclovia Belfast is described by the organisers as "a fun, free cycling event for all ages and abilities which aims to promote community cohesion, physical and mental well-being as well as cycling awareness and safety".
The traffic was stopped from main roads in and around the city as the bikes took centre stage.
The cycle freeway route ran along Botanic Avenue, part of Shaftesbury Square, Dublin Road, Bedford Street, Donegall Square West and onto the front of Belfast City Hall.
Participants were allowed to start the route wherever they wanted and cycle up and down, in whichever direction, throughout the event.
As well as the cycling, there were a number of fun activities at Botanic Gardens and City Hall. Along the route were choirs, buskers, musicians, circus performers, cycling training and safety including a lorry for a driver and cyclist safety awareness demo at Donegall Square West.
Even those without a bike were able to take part by picking up one of the Belfast Bikes.

George Benson (born March 22, 1943) is an American musician, guitarist and singer-songwriter. He began his professional career at 21 as a jazz guitarist. Benson uses a rest-stroke picking technique similar to that of gypsy jazz players such as Django Reinhardt.
Benson was born and raised in the Hill District in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. At the age of seven, he first played the ukulele in a corner drug store, for which he was paid a few dollars. At the age of eight, he played guitar in an unlicensed nightclub on Friday and Saturday nights, but the police soon closed the club down. At the age of 10, he recorded his first single record, "She Makes Me Mad", with RCA-Victor in New York, under the name "Little Georgie".
He was born at Great Salkeld, Cumberland, on 1 September 1699. Towards the close of Elizabeth's reign Dr. Benson's great-grandfather, John Benson, left London and settled in Cumberland. This John Benson had thirteen sons, from the eldest of whom Robert Benson, 1st Baron Bingley descended. During the English Civil War the youngest of these sons, George Benson, Dr. Benson's grandfather, took the side of the parliament; he had the living of Bridekirk in his native county, and was ejected in 1662. His grandson George received a classical education and proceeded to an academy presided over by Thomas Dixon at Whitehaven. He remained at this academy about a year, and then went to the University of Glasgow.
About the year 1721 he is found in London, and, approved by several presbyterian ministers, he began to preach, first at Chertsey and then in the metropolis. At this time Edmund Calamy received him into his own family. At the recommendation of Calamy he next went to Abingdon in Berkshire. He was chosen pastor of a congregation of Protestant dissenters there. He was ordained on 27 March 1723, Calamy and five other ministers officiating on the occasion. He continued in Abingdon for seven years. When ordained he held strictly Calvinist opinions and preached them fervently.
An "Off-Broadway production" is a production of a play, musical or revue that appears in such a venue and adheres to related trade union and other contracts.
Originally referring to the location of a venue and its productions on a street intersecting Broadway in Manhattan's Theater District, the hub of the theatre industry in New York, the term later became defined by the League of Off-Broadway Theatres and Producers as a professional venue in New York City with a seating capacity between 100 and 499, or a specific production that appears in such a venue, and which adheres to related trade union and other contracts.
Previously, regardless of the size of the venue, a theatre was not considered Off-Broadway if it was within the "Broadway Box" (extending from 40th to 54th Street, and from west of Sixth Avenue to east of Eighth Avenue, and including Times Square and 42nd Street). The contractual definition changed this to encompass theatres meeting the standard, which is beneficial to these theatres because of the lower minimum required salary for Actors' Equity performers at Off-Broadway theatres as compared with the salary requirements of the union for Broadway theatres.<ref name=Actors' Equity Web Site>"Actors' Equity". Retrieved September 16, 2008.</ref> Examples of Off-Broadway theatres within the Broadway Box are the Laura Pels Theatre and the Snapple Theater Center.
HIDDEN ERROR: Usage of "current members" is not recognized
Off Broadway is an Americanrock band founded by Paul Darrow, Cliff Johnson, Paul McDermott, John Pazdan and Dan Santercola in 1977 in Oak Park, Illinois. After several line-up changes including the addition of songwriter/guitarist John Ivan and Robert Harding, the band's debut album On was released by Atlantic Records in 1979. The album reached No.101 on the Billboard 200 and spawned the single "Stay in Time", which reached No.51 on the Billboard Hot 100 record charts. Off Broadway released a follow-up album, Quick Turns, on Atlantic Records in 1980 and continued touring for three years before breaking up in 1983.
In early May of 1980, "Stay in Time" peaked at number 9 on the weekly music surveys of their hometown radio superstation WLS-AM in Chicago, which gave the song much airplay.
The band is currently composed of original album guitarist and songwriter John Ivan (guitar), Brian Cote (lead vocals), Sal Monaco (drums) and Scott Licina (guitar/backing vocals). Off Broadway began touring in 2012 released a single All Messed Up And Ready To Go.
George William Benson (1808–1879) was an American Quakerabolitionist from Connecticut who assisted Prudence Crandall in her education efforts. His father George Benson (Sr.) (1752–1836) was also active in opposing slavery. He was one of the founders of the utopian Northampton Association, and was the brother-in-law of William Lloyd Garrison. Sojourner Truth, who worked for him for a time as a housekeeper, was introduced to Garrisonian abolitionism in his home, which Crandall called an "asylum for the oppressed."

Central Europe has remained strikingly calm even as mass unrest breaks out in the multicultural West, where George Floyd protests and riots have left cities in the United States and Western Europe in chaos, led to billions of dollars in damage, and resulted in many police officer gravely injured and some even murdered.
Social media users who believe countries like Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia, which have conservative-led governments that have rejected multiculturalism, demographic change, and liberal ideologies, have been touting the peace their countries enjoy as the West appears set for a meltdown.

Although Black Lives Matter protests and violence targeted against police and businesses originated in the United States, Europe is now increasingly facing mass protests despite lockdown measures designed to keep coronavirus in check.
In Great Britain, Winston Churchill’s statute was defaced during a Black Lives Matter protest, and the left-wing BBC described protests as “largely peaceful” in the same social media description that noted 27 police were injured.

After protesters pelted a police horse, the horse was spooked, resulting in the officer’s horse bolting and a female officer slamming into a pole at high speed. She is currently recovering in hospital with shattered ribs, a collapsed lung, and a broken collarbone, with the crowd of Black Lives Matter protesters cheering as she suffered the nearly-fatal injury.
Listen to them celebrate as they knock an officer from his horse. The radical left, by making false comparisons between the US and the UK, has unleashed hell upon innocent British officers.

In contrast, countries in Central Europe, particularly Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic, have seen virtually no protests, and in the cases small numbers gathered, they have ended without incident.
As previously reported on Remix News, a Black Lives Matter Facebook event was planned for Budapest in Hungary, with only three white female U.S. expats expressing their interest in attending before they removed the event from Facebook. Eventually, a peaceful demonstration was held in the capital on Sunday.
Memes comparing the chaos in the West to the relative peace in Hungary highlighted the differences.

The Visegard24 Twitter account, which highlights the Visegard alliance of Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia, also noted the difference in how nationalists in Poland protest versus leftist protesters in countries like the United States and Great Britain.

István Kovács, strategic director for Budapest think tank the Center for Fundamental Human Rights, said that in the event Westerners start fleeing the breakdown in order in their own countries, he suggests they apply to migrate to Hungary through legal channels. Better yet, they should stay and fix the problem themselves.
I suggest the legal channels. You can submit your asylum requesta at the local embassies and consulates. Don’t come running to our border screaming “oh, no! Thugs and criminals are burning down our streets” a) we are not big on excuses and b) why don’t you do something? https://t.co/7W15zfevWz

The conservative politicians that lead Central Europe, particularly in Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic, have forcefully rejected the conditions which have led to the breakdown in order in other Western countries. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has frequently noted that the West is deteriorating under political correctness, identity politics, and changing demographics.
“If Europe is not going to be populated by Europeans in the future and we take this as given, then we are speaking about an exchange of populations, to replace the population of Europeans with others,” said Orbán at a demographic summit in 2019. “There are political forces in Europe who want a replacement of population for ideological or other reasons.”
Orbán has noted that political correctness will not protect people and that increasingly mixed cultures feature strife and tension that is not present in Hungary. The Hungarian leader saying that compared to other European countries, there are few “people with cultural backgrounds different from ours” in Hungary. He also said the few migrants the country have respect the laws of the country, work on their own, and want to find their place in Hungarian society. He continued that there no problems with minorities that currently live in Hungary and their numbers are not growing at a rate that would “give us a headache”
Recently, he criticized the European People’s Party, the center-right conservative party in the Euroepan Parliament that his Fidesz party belongs to, as not being conservative enough.


SUNNYVALE, CA, United States – After narrowing down the list of 32 down to 16, we’ve actually done it – we have arrived at the Excellent Eight.
From our large field of apps divided into the four categories including: games, social, news and entertainment and utilities and productivity, we now have eight apps that will duke it out on the way to the finale later this week.
Personally, I’m excited about the Excellent Eight because we have a fantastic mix of independent titles, old favorites and even my favorite Windows Phone publication.
To see the full bracket, updated with the Excellent Eight winners and contenders, see this link.
Of course, if you need to research your choice and study the form, visit the Windows Phone Marketplace – and remember, you can try the apps before you buy on a Nokia Lumia phone. You’ll find over 70,000 apps on offer there.
Voting is simple. Under each pairing, select your favorite from the choices below. We’ll take it from there.
So, here are the titles that will duke it out in next round!
Gaming: Gravity Guy vs. Wordament
Social: 4th and Mayor vs. Facebook
News and Entertainment: Newsy vs. AAWP (All About Windows Phone)
Utilities and Productivity: Nextgen Reader vs. SkyDrive
Kicking off the voting
To begin the voting on the first half of the Excellent Eight voting, we’ll take a look at the first two categories including Games and Social.
Facebook is the social utility that has become the defacto standard for connecting with family and friends online. The Facebook Windows Phone application is a styled application that takes the Metro UI and gives us easy access to our News Feed, Pages, Groups and banner images. With a recent update, the application also lets you handle requests, messages and notifications at the top of the main interface.
Facebook on Windows Phone supports Live Tiles and lets users peer into who liked your posts, filter your Feed and more.
I like the Facebook application because it gives a full picture of what’s going on in my Facebook universe. It’s nice to see notifications, chats and photos all in one succinct app that looks good all the while.
4th and Mayor
4th and Mayor is a application for Foursquare users who tote a Nokia Lumia phone. Written by independent developer Jeff Wilcox, 4th and Mayor gives us quick access to the most valuable facets to Foursquare. I constantly use 4th and Mayor to check-in, see venue information and to see where my friends have checked-in to recently.
With 4th and Mayor, users can check-in via QR code scanning or by simply choosing their location from the list. Accessing friends’ location is super easy and viewing the Leaderboard is simple as well. The app may not be graphically intense, but this is by design – the simple UI gives users one-click access to information about venues around you and the location of your Foursquare friends.
A recent update to 4th and Mayor has made the app lightning fast, even over Edge connections, by utilizing web compression to speed data requests. Also, location accuracy has been improved, showing you the venues closest to your current location.
Gravity Guy combines two elements that make a mobile game successful – being fast paced and frustratingly addictive. Gravity Guy takes place in a universe where he can flip gravity as he sees fits as he is chased by Gravity Troops. It’s the players job to get Gravity Guy through mazes and to outrun the rabid troops in the process.
Succeeding at Gravity Guy involves trying to get as far as you can into a level. The farther you get, the more points you achieve in your effort to gain a spot on the leaderboard. By blending fun gameplay with awesome graphics and a soundtrack that compliments the game perfectly, Gravity Guy is very compelling.
We’d like to see some group gameplay in Gravity Guy, but this game is already addictive enough on its own!
Our own Adam Fraser is a huge Wordament fan. This independent game puts Windows Phone users up against other Windows Phone users in a tournament to create the the most words in two-minutes from a grid of letters that changes after each round. When the game starts, you have two minutes to drag your finger over the tiles to create as many 3+ words in the 120 seconds.
When done with that round, your score is displayed along with the potential words that you missed out on. I love seeing these words as it makes the game that much more entertaining. As with other games, a leaderboard for that tile set and a list of every player is displayed to anoint champions for that particular board.
The game flow is simple enough that after a quick read through the “How To Play” section and one quick game – you’re hooked. With a phone in your hand and Wordament loaded, you can have hours of competition on your hand. Just try not to get sucked in with this wordplay fun!
One editorial note. In the Supreme 16 round, we made a mistake in the pairings in the social category. The proper winners were put up for voting, but the apps were put in the wrong pairings.
To remedy the problem, we took the winners in that one section based on the overall number of votes, just as we would normally.

Ticketmaster has agreed to change the way it sells tickets over the Internet. New Jersey Attorney General Anne Milgram announced the settlement Monday.
She says the changes apply to all Ticketmaster sales nationwide. The case stems from complaints received about ticket purchases for a Bruce Springsteen concert. Ticket seekers were redirected from the main Ticketmaster site to a subsidiary that charged more.
Milgram says Ticketmaster has not admitted wrongdoing but has agreed to pay $350,000 to the state. She says the company will also compensate ticket holders who complained and change how it handles secondary sales. Ticketmaster did not return calls seeking comment Monday.

Hereditary neuromuscular diseases in children of Belarus: Republican Register date
Keywords:neuromuscular diseases, prevalence, register, children
Background. In many countries, problems of rare orphan diseases have recently been discussed, more specifically, hereditary neuromuscular diseases (HNMDs). As for 2020 data, there were about 400 million people worldwide suffering from different types of rare diseases which comprise over 7,000 nosologies. The data from official statistics in many countries do not provide detailed information on the prevalence of HNMDs; it is possible to obtain precise information on morbidity, mortality, analyses of genetic causes, social impact, etc. only in those countries that have registries of patients with HNMDs. Materials and methods. To evaluate the situation with HNMDs in the Republic of Belarus, the pediatric population was examined. The Republican Center for Hereditary Neuromuscular Diseases (RC HNMD) for children was founded, based on which there were formed a computer database and the registry of patients with hereditary neuromuscular diseases. The age of patients was 0 to 18 years old (including 17 years 11 months 29 days). The study was designed as a retrospective, entire, and comparative (by nosologies). Results. As of December 31, 2020, the HNMDs registry for children (0–17 years) demonstrated that the HNMDs prevalence was 2.34 cases per 10,000 age-matched population. The results showed that in type I spinal muscular atrophy the median time before diagnosis verification decreased almost 3-fold: before 2019 it was 7 months, while in 2019–2020, Me = 2.6 months; p < 0.001. Also, there is a significant reduction of the period for verification of the diagnosis of type II spinal muscular atrophy, i.e. from Me = 16 months (before 2019) to Me = 7.5 months (2019–2020), p < 0.05, which demonstrates the importance of establishing a centralized RC HNMD for children in Belarus and substantiates the necessity of developing its structure and cooperation with other community-based and government organizations. Conclusions. Within the structure of HNMDs nosologies, the top ones were taken by Duchenne-Becker muscular dystrophy — 0.8 per 10.000 age-matched population people spinal muscular atrophy — 0.5 per 10,000 of age-matched population, hereditary polyneuropathies — 0.4 by 10,000 of age-matched population. The study results show that the proportion of children born preterm (before 37 weeks of gestation) from the total amount of all children with registered HNMD accounts for 6.4 %, while the highest rate was found for spinal muscular atrophy, which gives the reason to study children born preterm from the standpoint of alertness due to HNMD. The register data in the Republic of Belarus demonstrate the highest specific weight of dystrophynopathies within the structure of HNMDs, which made 40.8 % (178/436) from the total number of HNMDs cases of Registry with the prevalence of 0.95 per 10,000 age-matched population (0–17 years) along with limb-girdle muscular dystrophies, facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophies.

Today will feature another day of warm weather as our latest storm moves towards the Saint Lawrence Valley. That said, we do have some cold air damming which will keep temps somewhat cooler especially in the Maine foothills. Any breaks of sun this morning will be quick to disappear behind thickening clouds midday. As high pressure slips farther east and winds shift more towards the south, the wedge of cold air currently pinned against the mountains will slowly retreat. It’s age-old wisdom that this retreating cold will depart slower than guidance expects but I do feel confident that folks east of I-95 in Maine and south of Laconia/Rochester NH will get above freezing today with highs rising as far as the low 50s in the CT Valley. The foothills and mountains should remain in the cold air through today with periods of freezing drizzle possible this afternoon.
The primary batch of precipitation will arrive this evening and will fall mostly in the form of rain except for the remaining cold air wedge centered around the Maine foothills. Freezing rain is expected here, though with heavier precip rates and temps creeping slowly closer to freezing I don’t see enough accretion to cause widespread power outage issues. By around midnight, a first frontal boundary will cross the area and mix out most of the remaining cold air. Temps will rise into the 40s and 50s across the area with perhaps a few holdout spots in the mid to upper 30s. That will set the stage for an extremely warm day tomorrow with southwest winds and patchy sunshine ahead of the storm’s cold front.

During the Covid 19 situation, most people are receiving treatment to increase the immune system of the patients. Receiving cancer treatment including medicine is necessary for individual patients. The Novel corona virus is also known as Covid 19 and the human body is directly affected by that. The special population is also covered by the same situation and overall world waiting for healthcare treatment. The aim of the study is to identify the impact of corona virus and recognize how individual adults or patients are suffering from Covid 19 situation. The importance of the study is to produce medications and treatments for the individual patients to deal with the common situation. Individual people understand that fever, cold, or lung infections are common things but viruses are highly spread due to the unconsciousness of individual people. Cough and sneezing are the main reason to identify Covid disease and most of the patients are already having the common virus.
Covid 19 viruses are made with a lot of viruses and that affect individual people and serious lung infections are the cases of the specific difficulties. Sometimes individual patients are thoughts that a cold environment is the main reason for cough and sneezing and viruses are also common in the common situation (Ratnasekera et al. 2020). Most people can catch Covid 19 from the others who already have viruses and that disease can be spread by small droplets which are ejected from the nose or mouth from the Covid 19 patients. The contagiousness for 10 days is common and symptoms are having only 10 days into the patients. The common infections maximum stayed almost 20 days into the patient's body but the virus can be anytime ejected from the patient's body. Due to unconsciousness, most people are having Covid 19 and that can be highly affected the common people.

Most people are thinking that a cold environment is the main reason for fever or cough but not only that can sometimes be manually spread from the human body. The small droplet as well as coming in contact with the affected people is the main reason for increasing positive cases. Sometimes small droplets from the positive patients are the main causes of spreading Covid 19 viruses. The small interfacing RNA is the main reason for host response and most people are affected during this common situation (Chang et al. 2020). The promotion stability of the viruses is gradually increased due to the unconsciousness of individual people. The medical mechanism, as well as transcriptional regulations, is the main reason for identifying the roles of the coronavirus situations. Most of the positive cases are the main reason for RNA stem-loop structure and the sequence is common during identifying RNA viruses.
In order to improve the Covid, 19 situations and unconsciousness is the main reason for increasing positive cases. The medical sources are necessary to control the common situation and consciousness is the efficient way to minimize Covid 19 cases. Wearing a mask and using sanitizer is another way to reduce positive cases and the medicated response of the medical teams is accordingly treated individual patients (Agua et al. 2021). A reasonable justification is required to identify high-risk and low-risk infections of individual cancer patients. SARS-COV 2 treatment is required for asthma and liver disease patients, medical teams also focus on the particular factors.

Identifying the conditions of the infections is necessary to be cases most the patients are finding accurate treatment for the best results. The age limits of the patients, who are almost above 60 they have been found to have a very high risk of infections. Most healthcare centers need to start up special treatment for them and scientific trials are also important for those patients. Renal disease is controlled by special treatment and can be found to be the best treatment to minimize the infection level.
Covid 19 disease is an infectious disease that is mainly transmitted due to small droplets which are ejected from the patients. Identifying the high risk, as well as low risk of the individual cancer patients, is necessary. Above 60 age limit are considered very high-risk infections and medical trials sometimes go wrong on the specific patients. The scientific trial, as well as medical treatment, is also important which will significantly develop the health position of individual people. Tiredness, fever as well as dry cough is the major sign of common infections and that can be justified with the common treatment. In certain conditions identifying the health condition of the patients' consciousness medical teams is necessary. The treatment, as well as vaccination, is approved by the government that currently managing symptoms to run out of common virus.
The aim of the research is to analyze the impact of the Covid 19 situation on individual patients by the conscious understanding of those who have been suffering during the common situation. The treatment procedure is necessary which is included by the systematic review of the medical team. In order to, critically analyze the main objectives to identify the purpose of the scientific research in front of the patients. The small droplets of individual patients which are ejected by the nose or mouth are the main reason for increasing positive cases (Editage.com, 2022). During the same time individual cancer patients aged above 60 years, are considered as a high risk of infection level. Identify the basic impact of the Covid 19 situation different types of medications are necessary that cure individual patients or adults.
Question 1: What is the impact of corona virus has on the patients with comorbidities?
Question 2: What is the fatality ratio between the paediatric patients and adults suffering from the covid 19?
Question 3: Critically analyze the different comorbidities types that are readily affected from the pandemic covid 19?
Question 4: What are the different types of medications and procedures of treatment for curing comorbidities patients?
The significance of the study is to explain the importance of the research or why the research will be needed. In order to, minimize the positive cases of cancer patients; medical teams are gradually using different types of methods. Individual researchers are recognizing that consciousness is important to minimize common difficulties. Future researchers are continuously gaining more knowledge and enhancing experienced levels to minimize the gaps (Moujaess et al. 2021). Specific research is useful to enhance the knowledge as well as experience of future researchers. The significance of the study depends on the strength or weakness of the individual researchers.
The significant gap is the basic limitations of the study but future researchers also identify the challenges which include the common situation. Approximately 55.23% of people are affected due to unctuousness and statistical reports say strong immune systems of the human body can be affected by the common viruses (Who.int, 2022). Above 60 age limits are considered high-risk infections and medical treatment are also important for those people. The small droplets which are ejected from the patient through the mouth or nose are the main reason for spreading up almost 71% of viruses into the human body.
An appropriate research structure has been followed by the research outline which is clearly organized by the project. The purpose of the stressful relationship is described by the research outline and that can be the main reason for maintaining the managerial structure to identify the difficulties. The research is less stressful which is compared or described by the structure which is necessary to identify the research problems. Multiple ideas are necessary to identify the research problems and that can helps to identify the major perspective of the research.
In direct connection with the medical teams, individual cancer patients are trying to cure with medical knowledge. Above 60 years of age, people are considered at a high risk of infections and individual medical trials cannot cure individual people. In order to, avoid the common difficulties most of the patients are conscious and they covered their mouths with the mask, to minimize the spending on viruses. The small droplets are harmful, which is continuously increasing the infections. Most of the patients are following into the deep depression and anxiety is the main reason for the common situation. The small droplets which are ejected from the patient through the mouth or nose are the main reason for spreading up almost 71% of viruses into the human body.
This chapter reflects the critical rejection of the topic with theories and practical assumptions. In this research proposal, the researcher has shown various types of techniques and methods that will be implemented to reduce the risks related to COVID comorbidities. The concept of dependent and independent variables are also discussed in this research proposal. The impact and challenges faced by the medical authorities to maintain peace in the hospital and treatment centers are also elaborated on in this research proposal. The methods and preventions in adults and pediatric patients are also discussed here in brief. The outcomes and findings of the experiments undertaken in these comorbidities are also shown here. A conceptual framework consisting of the entire variable is also presented in this research paper. The literature gap, prevention measures, safety regulations and the overall summary of this literature review chapter are also discussed here.
In this research proposal, there are three parts that are the implementation of comorbidities to the chronic diseases that are occurred due to COVID. As opined by Ayhan et al. (2021), an independent variable refers to a variable which cannot be changed by the presence of other variables. It stands alone in the measurement of the degrees of the research variables that are elaborated in the research proposal. The challenges that are faced in the hospital by the normal adults, children and paediatric patients are implemented by applying various methods. As per the view of Budweiser et al. (2021), the various types of treatment techniques and their regression are referred to as the independent variables. These kinds of variables can manipulate the whole research study.
Treating the patients who are suffering from cancer creates another concern for the health authorities. As per the author Chen et al. (2020), in the COVID scenario, it can be stated that the pediatric cancer patients have more favorable outcomes from the treatment phase than the normal patients. The “systemic anti-cancer therapy in LMICSs is marginally higher” than the reported person cases. In the context of unselected COVID-19 patients, or “cohorts with prolonged time to viral negativity in a substantial number of patients” (Ferrari et al. 2021). Therefore it can be stated that these can be the dependent variables that cannot be changed due to any additional elements or techniques.
In the context of paediatric patients, concerned adults and cancer patients various practical and theoretical assumptions are used to curing them with the best medicines. As mentioned by Giardino et al. (2022), during the initial stages of COVID, it has been observed that patients are frequently dying due to a lack of medical infrastructure in many countries. The “classic theory of cancer and the Theory of Cancer Treatment'' is the theory that contains all the information related to the disease (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, 2022). The clinical considerations or practical approaches of “oncology pharmacy practitioners' ' and “Delaying adjuvant chemotherapy” show the changes in the treatment segments of the cancer patients with positive outcomes. It can be stated that the treatment or prevention of cancer patients during the pandemic period is not condemned so far.
Figure 2.1: Theoretical and practical approaches for cancer patients
The treatment and techniques or methods for curing the diseases and problems of CIVID are very important in the current time. As per the author Larsen et al. (2021), as the disease is spreading with a high source, in the last two years many people have lost their lives due to a lack of medical equipment and help. This can be mutually invested that the chronic disease has no proper medicines that can save a life. Different trails and booster medicine has been provided to the people but they are of no use. Various vaccines and boosters were also given to the people to get immunity to fight the COVID. As opined by Madariaga et al. (2020), all these methods and medicines have shown effective results but they cannot stop the diseases to spread. It is very important to reach the roots of the problems that are caused by the SARS COV-2.
The main terms which reflect the importance of the usage of the best treatment procedures in curing the diseases that are caused by the COVID are as follows.
There were two methods adopted by the health professionals to cure COVID that are Antiviral treatments and the development of Monoclonal antibodies. As stated by Marcianò et al. (2021), this is stated to be an effective solution for the infected patetients. This is because it has negative effects on cancer patients. In the context of gastrointestinal and lung diseases, the COVID got cured to a great extent. Proper treatment for the inverse and chronic diseases shows a high reluctance in maintaining the health of the infected people. This also reduces symptoms delays the complications and prevents the diseases in a short span of time. As per the view of Meseguer Barros et al. (2021), corona virus influences many there diseases that can cause severe illnesses in people and can affect their health in a long run. The diseases such as “hypertension, cardiovascular illnesses, lung infections, and also neurological infirmities” can affect each life to a great extent.
Figure 2.2: Treatments for COVID patients
(Source: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, 2022)
These above-mentioned diseases cover all the medicines that are stated above including all the practical assumptions. As opined by Schons et al. (2022), it also develops or increases the potential of the immune systems of the people that can show effective results in a short time. The main difference in the effects and severity of covid-19 is the treatment procedure of the health problem in two different ways. This difference shows the possible measures of the health professionals where they have crated alternative solutions for crying for different people at the same time. As mentioned by Stirrup et al. (2021), vaccines and Penicillin are the last development in the healthcare department which have the ability to cure many issues that generic medicines do not. Therefore it is highly recommended that the abovementioned medicines need to adopt beach countries to solve the issues.
Progression of the medical field in solving the COVID crisis related to the medical alignments shows the effectiveness of the medicines developed in the context of this. As per the author Suarez-Reyes and Villegas-Valverde (2021), generally, the issues or symptoms are classified in the initial stages but in the case of corona virus, it can be stated in a different way. The importance of examining the different medicines shows the impact of Comorbidities in the context of the pandemic. However, there are other developments that are inherited to solve the crises of medical support for the general people in all over the world.
Comorbidities refer to the combination of two diseases that are caused by a single symptom. As stated by To et al. (2020), in the context of COVID, the symptoms were similar to cardiovascular illnesses and cough and cold. On the other hand, this disease can be cured by applying medicines that are useful in analysing a few elements. The symptoms also affect the neurological parts of the body. Therefore it can be seen that at the same time one symptom can show the severe diseases that can submerge the human body into death. As per the view of Vidali et al. (2020), the mortality rate has increased in the middle of 2020, due to the lack of medical support. People were unaware of the implications of the corona virus, this led to difficult situations that lead to many health hazards.
Therefore health professionals are developing many insights to remove these hurdles in curing diseases. This has created a huge impact on the patients as they are not immune to absorbing the high dosage of the medicines. Explicit hospitals in a few countries were treating the people who are suffering from comorbidities. From there, it will be created that in the upcoming era medicines must be prepared to cure more than one-two disease. As per the view of Zhu et al. (2022), the comorbidities are related to organ coarseness where different organs damage their capability by the occurrence of changes in one of the organs. However, the comorbidities can be treated by endothelial decay, where the clinical examinations are done when it comes to the patients.
The major impact of Comorbidities are evaluated in “cardiovascular ailment, hypertension, weight, diabetes, and renal histopathological revelations” of the Corona virus patients who show hurt endothelium. The respiratory system got the most dangerous impact as it has affected the whole system with just a particle. Therefore it can be stated that the chances of Comorbidities will be reduced by applying a few techniques and medical pieces of equipment.

The Frenchwoman will take charge of the clash in Turin on Wednesday, with Cristiano Ronaldo’s side have already secured qualification to the round-of-16.
It is a first for UEFA in the competitive stage of the tournament, with former referee Nicole Petingnat officiating three UEFA cup qualifying round games between 2004 and 2009.
But Frappart has been paving the way for female referees throughout her career.
The 36-year-old was first listed as a FIFA referee in 2009, taking on matches in men’s third-division French football two years later.
And 2014 saw the official step up a league in her own country before international football came calling.
Frappart was part of the refereeing team at the 2015 Women’s World Cup, which saw the USA beat Japan and England take third place.
April 2019 proved to be a sensational month for the referee, finding out she would be officiating Ligue 1 matches as well as the next international women’s tournament in her home country.
Frappart’s first match came at the end of the month in a 0-0 draw between Amiens and Strasbourg.
Making it through the Women’s World Cup group stages, Frappart then took charge of the tournament’s final in Lyon.
It proved to be a busy game for her, awarding holders USA a penalty on the hour after VAR highlighted a tackle on Alex Morgan before Megan Rapinoe scored the opener in a 2-0 win.
This saw her become the first woman to officiate a major men’s European match, which Jurgen Klopp’s Champions League winners won on penalties after a 2-2 draw in normal time.
It was another match which had the Frenchwoman at the centre of attention, ruling out a Christian Pulisic goal in the first half before giving a stoppage-time penalty to the Blues after Adrian’s tackle on Tammy Abraham.
With Jorginho slotting, it was the English forward’s missed spot-kick that handed Liverpool victory.
Before Covid-19 suspended football, Frappart was refereeing in Ligue 1 while also taking on the inaugural Champions Cup second-leg in November 2019 between Republic of Ireland’s Dundalk and Northern Ireland’s Linfield.
The match saw the official show two yellow cards as the League of Ireland champions won 6-0.
Frappart has also been honoured for her work in the middle, picking up the Best Referee of the Year honour at the Dubai Gloce Soccer Awards last year.
But it is not the first European men's match the Frenchwoman has taken charge of this season, taking on Leicester's Europa League win over Zorya Luhansk as well as Granada vs Omonia Nikosia.

Interactive Simulation of Flexible Needle Insertions Based on Constraint Models
Participants : Christian Duriez, Christophe Guebert, Maud Marchal, Stéphane Cotin, Laurent Grisoni.
This work presents a new modeling method for the insertion of needles and more generally thin and flexible medical devices into soft tissues. Several medical procedures rely on the insertion of slender medi- cal devices such as biopsy, brachytherapy, deep-brain stimulation. In this paper, the interactions between soft tissues and ßexible instruments are reproduced using a set of dedicated complementarity constraints. Each constraint is positionned and applied to the deformable models without requiring any remeshing. Our method allows for the 3D simulation of different physical phenomena such as puncture, cutting, static and dy- namic friction at interactive frame rate. To obtain realistic simulation, we parametrize the model using experimental data. We validate our method through a series of typical simulation examples and new more complex scenarios. A paper on this subject was published at MICCAI conference this year

By Bradford Betz
Published February 07, 2019
Oscar-nominated actor Liam Neeson, who admitted to once wanting to kill some “black bastard” to seek revenge for a friend who was raped, has reportedly canceled a scheduled appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” amid fallout from his comments.
Neeson, 66, was scheduled to appear on Colbert’s program on Friday to promote his latest film, “Cold Pursuit,” TheWrap reported, citing an individual familiar with the matter. Oscar-nominated actor Glenn Close will take his place, the report said. The cancellation is the latest blowback for Neeson’s comments which were published Monday in The Independent.
Lionsgate on Tuesday canceled a red carpet event for the premiere of “Cold Pursuit,” in New York City. The cancellation came hours after Neeson appeared on “Good Morning America” to apologize and insist he is not a racist.
“We were doing a press junket and the topic of our film was revenge," Neeson said of his interview with The Independent. "The lady journalist was asking, 'How do you tap into that?' and I remembered an incident nearly 40 years ago when a friend of mine was brutally raped I was out of the country and when I came back she told me about this ... I had never felt this feeling before which was a primal urge to lash out."
Calls are also being made for Neeson to be digitally removed from the upcoming “Men In Black” film. “Cold Pursuit” is slated to open across 2,500 screens in North America on Friday.

Tweeter of the Day: MIND MELD: Has Space Opera Lost Its Luster?
We start the Cultural Lens series with Feminist Literary Criticism. No surprise for those who have watched this space for some time.
Now for some caveats:
- This is not a University level discussion, just a general approach to the subject. In-depth discussion in the comments is always welcomed.
- Feminist Literary Analysis/Criticism has a socio-political agenda, as do other schools of literary analysis. This does not, in anyway invalidate said analysis.
- Like other schools, followers of this work from several assumptions, one being the existence of the patriarchy:
With the second definition being the most common.
With that in mind, what is feminist literary analysis? Depending on your definition it can be as limited to the current Third Wave (post-1960s) or as far reaching as the suffrage movement of the mid to late 19th century. This also describes feminism as well, for the two are tightly intertwined. Since we are talking about over one hundred and fifty years of history, one can not treat this school as static in any way, shape, or form. One example of the divisions within this school of thought are what I would call Value Negative or Value Positive.
Example #1- Value Negative: This is classic Feminist Analysis and the one most derided by many of its critics. In this mode the analysis centers on those negative aspects of a work from the feminist point of view, i.e. those characters and situations that reinforce a male centric value system and diminish or pigeonhole women. If you read most cutting critiques of lets say Twilight, you know what I’m talking about. The main character is held as an example of what not to do, aspire to in any form. This conceptualization is exploited by critics of this school to create a caricature of feminism as nothing more than a collection of nay sayers, regardless of how accurate/valid the critique may be.
Example #2- Value Positive: Value Positive concentrates on elevating positive portrayals of women within a work or body of work. One example is the sex-positive movement, which seeks to highlight the power of women within the context of erotic expression. A particular focus of the sex positive movement lies with a very touchy subject: pornography/prostitution. A sex positive critic might embrace portrayals within a work that show women in full control of their bodies and enjoying erotic activities within this context where in someone from the example above might see it as another form of male exploitation of the female body without any regard to the wishes of the women involved.
This is an oversimplification but one that serves to point out the complexities of within feminist thought. Third wave feminism in particular seeks to expand its reach beyond the old male/female paradigm. Third wave feminist acknowledge the fact that human sexuality (be they sexual roles, biology, sexual identity and cultural history) is far too complex to be limited to the old duality of male/female. This in turn opened the door to expand/merge feminist analysis with other experiences based on non-normative presumptions such as homosexuality, minority ethnic, and religious views, etc.
One consistent problem within this school is the definition of what a “strong” female character is/should be. The classic view is that a strong female character is one that can do anything a man should do. She seeks to abolish the distinctions in roles between men and women. Modern theory holds that this is merely a “re-skinning” (as in video games, were all characters have the same wire frame but different skins/looks) of male characters in female bodies. Instead they focus on those areas that make women distinct and try to elevate them to parity.
Still, like any school it still is a narrow lens on which to view any given work and the framework may not fit all situations. But an author has to understand it (and other schools) in order to fully explore his own work as well as to engage any criticism hurled his or her way.
First, that meme is hilarious. Second, I don’t a strong woman has to do what a man can do. I guess I see feminine strength as an ability to endure gracefully, stand up for yourself and speak clearly, and exhibit beauty in resting instead of striving. Most every person has some form of feminine ideations, it’s how it manifests that’s different. The value positive/negative is interesting in literature.
Fantastic post. I think the major problem, or what annoys me the most, is that too many folks think its their business what other women do. I don’t see why it’s so hard to understand that we’re all individuals with different needs and wants. And our lives is that- ours.
As for writing- I just aim to create human, three-dimensional female characters that fit the story.
p.s. Just wanted to add that I agree with everything The Others1 said. Strength manifests itself in many different ways. I’m tired of people equating how strong a female character is by whether or not she is “kick-ass”.
So do I. Thank you both for your insightful comments.
There’s something insanely cool about a female character who DOES kick ass.
That being said, I don’t think a girl needs to kick ass to be a “strong female character”.
I remember reading “Ella Enchanted” when I was a kid. At one point, the titular character is captured by ogres. Ella not only outsmarts them and frees herself, but captures them in return – all on her own.
And throughout the story, she’s constantly an active character. When things happen to her, she deals with it. She decides things for herself. She makes tough choices. And – most importantly of all – she has strong, healthy relationships with other women, the most important part of a feminist narrative.
And she does all of this without ever picking up a weapon. It’s not necessary. She takes care of herself in other ways.
THAT’S a strong female character. (Though it’d still be cool if she did kick ass.)
Indeed there is something cool about an active hero be it male or female. Nobody wants to read about the passive ones. But the problems seems to come down to (for example U/F) every female hero turns into a Buffy clone. Maybe it is time to put away the “Strong” concept and instead concentrate on the credible, believable and active protagonist.

DentAcetic Dental Wipes (25ct.)
DentAcetic Dental Wipes are convenient, ready-to-use wipes contain acetic acid and sodium hexametaphosphate (HMP). Cleaning is by mechanical means utilizing the uneven surface of the wipes and the potent degreasing ability of acetic acid. HMP is a common component in various dental products. Both acetic acid and HMP are sequestering agents, which bind minerals effectively inhibiting the transformation (mineralization) of dental plaque into tartar. HMP also coats the teeth and prevents further plaque, calculus and tartar build-up. The flavoring agent is pleasant cinnamon-clove, which is favored by dogs and deodorizes their breath. The clove has an age-old additive effect of relieving pain, thus soothing the gums.
- Specially formulated to help keep your pet's teeth clean and breath fresh
- Easy to use - Simply wipe your pet's teeth clean!
- Ideal as an alternative to toothpaste
- Leaves a pleasant cinnamon scent!
- Removes and prevents plaque buildup

Question about Dell Inspiron 6000 Notebook
I have a dell inspiron 6000 lap top and my monitor is very dark, how do I correct this problem Thank You!
I have to assume you have tried through existing means to change brightness and contrast.
These are generally provided for the user.
LCD screens are backlit via a fluorescent lamp. This is a high voltage device so the problem could come from either a failing lamp or the inverter circuit that drives it.
Access to the lamp varies greatly and to even check it may well be a job for a technician.

Just Eat More Cakes and Pies!!!…292
I just found out, that one of the craziest movies ever, is coming out on DVD soon, The Forbidden Zone.
Made by Richard Elfman, and starring Herve Villechaize, this black and white cult classic is the shizznit!
I first heard about this movie, when i received the Danny Elfman compilation “Music for a Darkened Theater”. One of the last tracks on there was a Cue from the Forbidden Zone. It was a really cool piano solo, which made me interested in the movie. I knew, from the liner notes, that the movie was Danny Elfman’s first score, and was a small movie directed by his brother.It sounded like a sweet deal.
One day while at “Big Choice Video”, i saw a video with a girl on the cover, holding her boobies. I was all like, “What the fuck is that”. Wait a minute that is called the Forbidden Zone. I examined the package, and realized it was the one that Danny Elfman scored. So i rented it. I decided to record it on a blank tape i had, as i watched it. HOLY SHIT!!! this move was the most disturbing, fucked up thing i had ever seen. Granted i am like 14 years old. I had never seen a CULT type movie before. and this shit scared me! it is the strangest thing i had ever seen, and too this day is the strangest film i have ever seen. and i have seen strange.
anyway, it has been about 13 years since i fist saw that movie, and finally i will have it in a version better than my Stolen Copy, or the video copy i purchased.
check it out on Amazon here..
or hunt down more info, on the WEB!

“The creative scene in LINZ is filled with people who can change the world with their minds but you just have to do it” RXO aka Richy is already taking over the underground rap screen in Linz. He’s a rapper based in Linz Austria and has big plans for lost city.
In 2K18 RXO released his first single „LOST“ after that more songs like Aight, Roses and „Way Up“ were produced. He is a member of an underground group called „URBAN CULT“ and he is also a self representing artist.
Everything began spontaneously as he was with his friends, at the age of 15, when they were playing and trying out new stuff. A friend of his borrowed him a microphone and he started recording himself freestyling. As his friends found out what he was doing they were all amused and pushed him forward, to the point where he realised that this was his passion.
„I’m in my 20s something feel like I could have the world. No navigation so I think I’m on the wrong course. Tried to catch my dreams but I only caught up L‘s. No legend ever born without a motherfuckin fail I try to be good in a bad world.“
His main type of music is a mixture of RnB and Rap. Although he does not categorise his music to a specific music genre. He likes to mix different types of sounds and cultures. Sometimes it depends on how he feels, so the beats and his words create a story based on his feelings and his accomplishments. At this point RXO and his friends created the music label URBAN CULT. With them he created a lot of new tracks and developed a new underground subculture here in Linz Austria. Many people would say that this small city hasn’t effected them but on URBAN CULT this is a city were they grew up, got all the experiences and where their career began. RXO is representing his hometown in a completely new point of view. He has the talent and the vision to change something in a lost city where people’s dreams were already given up.
His plans for this year are already in progress. A new EP and a few music videos are coming up next. One of his main focus is on writing new songs in english but also exclusively in german. RXO is hustling for his goals without any hesitation and is willing to archive for what the hopeless city has lost sense of.

For countless industrial products that have evolved over time, smaller, better, and less expensive is the name of the game. After designing and manufacturing resolvers for more than four decades, Tamagawa Seiki Co. has followed the same diminutive path of downsizing dimensions and cost, with enormous results in reliability.
Original mil spec designs of the 1960s involved resolvers with brushes that had two windings on the rotor and stator, with a total of 48 integrated parts. During the 70s and 80s, the resolvers went brushless, then morphed into smaller, more highly integrated versions. In the 90s, Tamagawa introduced an even more compact design, consisting of four windings (on the rotor, stator, and rotary transformer) and 20 parts. The latest step in this “downward” path — a variable reluctance type resolver — employs windings only on the stator, further reducing the parts count to just five.
In all, VR resolvers consist of stator laminations, a stator winding, rotor laminations, an optional protective cover, and slot insulators. The design concept features no contacting parts, as the stator is fixed and the rotor (a silicon steel lamination stack) is keyed to the motor shaft. The design is also inherently robust, able to withstand high levels of vibration, wide temperature fluctuations, and solvent and oil-mist atmospheres.
On display: Singlsyn absolute angle sensor
Key features: Ultra-thin construction of this built-in resolver minimizes mounting dimensions. Using a laminated steel rotor rather than a wound rotor makes for a more reliable solution.
What it means to you: Need less room to mount a feedback device (axial length can be held to 15 mm despite ODs more than 125 mm) that's more rugged and less expensive than conventional alternatives.
What else: Measure angles consistently in temperatures from -55° to 155° C and in harsh environments — tolerating vibration to 20 g, shock to 100 g, and humidity to 90% RH.
Innovator: Tamagawa Seiki Co. Ltd.
For more info: advantechinternational.com or (800) 322-6150
The contour of the rotor forms a specially curved airgap between the rotor and stator, achieving a sinusoidal relationship, corresponding to the angle of the rotor shaft. One excitation winding and two output windings (on the stator) detect changes in the airgap, producing phased output voltages proportional to the sine and cosine angles of the rotor. The analog signals are converted to digital equivalent angles using conventional resolver-to-digital (R/D) converters. So far, three rotor shapes have been used — elliptical (2X), triangular (3X), and cross (4X) — achieving different levels of precision.

Most opinion polls have shown about two-thirds of Britons oppose membership, but a recent survey saw the anti-euro group shrinking to 55 per cent, while the number of people ready to join if the Government advocated it had increased significantly.
Since coming to power in 1997 the Blair Government has promised that before advocating the euro it will consult the nation in a referendum and will put the euro to five economic tests, essentially centring on how Britain's economy would fare if euros replaced pounds.
Most economists regard such tests assessing the euro's impact on British jobs and investment as flexible, so the decision on joining would depend more heavily on the answers to political questions.
Joining would mean more than just adopting the currency. It would put key economic decisions outside Britain's direct control - having interest rates, for instance, set by the European Central Bank rather than the Bank of England.
Mr Blair said he did not want to go down in history as the prime minister who surrendered the pound. "But I certainly believe passionately that this country and its destiny lies in Europe."

Gareth Bale wants to make becoming the all-time All-Captain in Welsh football history “even more special” by leading Wales to a World Cup victory over Iran.
Bale will overtake Chris Gunter, who will be among the substitutes on Friday, to win his 110th cap at Doha’s Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium.
Wales have been bolstered by the return of midfielder Joe Allen, who has been out since mid-September with a hamstring injury, as they enter must-win territory following Monday’s 1-1 draw with the United States.
Bale, who made his Wales debut in 2006 and is his country’s all-time leading scorer with 41 goals, said: “To be honest I wasn’t really focusing on the cap thing, just trying to focus on the game.
“On a personal level it’s an amazing achievement, it’s an honor to represent my country so many times. But it’s more important that we try to get the win. Hopefully we can and it will make it even more special.”
Bale played the entire game against USA which, like so many in this tournament, lasted well over 100 minutes due to stoppages and substitutions.
The 33-year-old said in the month leading up to the World Cup he had been dealing with “a few small issues” and played just 30 minutes of football before the opener in the United States.
But Wales manager Robert Page asked about the possibility of Bale resting against Iran at his own pre-match press conference, saying: “Good luck not picking him.”
Page insisted Bale was ready for Wales’ second group game, although the player himself admitted that such a grueling game at the start wasn’t ideal due to the quick turnarounds in games.
Bale said: “I’m fine, it obviously took a few days before I felt my legs again. But we are professionals, we try to recover and do our best. Playing 104 minutes or whatever is not ideal when you have a game four days later.
“Everyone is doing everything they can to recover for the next game. I didn’t play much before I came here, but I’ve dealt with it before and it won’t be a problem.”
Wales are confident of coping with the early afternoon heat in Doha, with the temperature expected to hover around 29 degrees Celsius when the game begins at 1pm local time.
Training has been tweaked in recent days, with Wales starting earlier to adjust to the hot conditions.
Bale said: “It’s warm, it’s not crazy warm. Training is different from a game because the intensity is different. We have a diet and hydration plan as a team. As long as we can implement that, we will be better able to deal with heat and humidity.”
Page has a full squad to choose from after Allen, who started training with the main group on Wednesday, got fit.
“Joe passed his fitness test, so that’s good news. He’s fit and ready to go,” said Page, who will give Kieffer Moore a place in the starting XI after the striker came on to ignite Wales’ revival against the USA.
“We were all worried about him because of the extent of the injury.
“He kept breaking down. We had to hit targets along the way and they hit every target. Last week they pushed him 100 percent. It was a gamble. If he had collapsed, he would have been eliminated from the tournament completely.”

The Associated Press says McCain has won it:
Date: 01/19/2008 09:18 PM
BULLETIN (AP) — John McCain, GOP, nominated President, South Carolina.
Very, very good news, considering that Huckabee had the Mo coming into today.
It’s been a long, long time coming, but South Carolina appears to have chosen the best of all possible Republicans for the nation.
If this is right, this is behind us with a most satisfactory conclusion. On to the Democrats. We’ll be endorsing in that race by midweek. Barack Obama is coming in to talk with us Monday morning.


The California Legislature is considering a bill to extend basic labor rights to domestic workers: the nannies, cooks, baby sitters and other caregivers whose labor allows households to function smoothly, thus contributing to the larger economy. Domestic workers toil long hours for low pay, but have long been excluded from many of the fundamental protections most other workers enjoy under federal labor law.
The California bill, A.B. 889, which passed the Assembly and is being debated this month in the State Senate, seeks to close that gap. It would entitle workers to overtime pay, ease eligibility requirements for workers’ compensation and give them time for meals and rest breaks.
It would also add some protections specific to domestic labor, like giving live-in employees the right to eight hours of sleep and domestic workers the right to use employers’ kitchens to cook their own food.
The bill is inspired by legislation passed in 2010 in New York State after a campaign by domestic workers to shed light on the abuses that are rampant in their unregulated industry. These workers, most of them immigrant women, toil behind closed doors in private homes, often suffering in silence. The nature of their jobs makes it hard for them to organize and be noticed, much less win the protections they deserve.
Domestic workers are among a wider category of low-wage workers who are denied many basic protections under federal wage-and-hour laws. Efforts to protect other excluded employees, like home care workers and farm workers, have failed in the courts and stalled in Congress.
We hope California and other states will be willing to do what the federal government has not — which is to set basic standards to guarantee domestic workers decent working conditions and pay.Continue reading the main story
