Hampton is a town in Rockingham County, New Hampshire, United States. The population was 14,976 at the 2010 census.[1][2] Located beside the Atlantic Ocean, Hampton is home to Hampton Beach, a summer tourist destination.
The densely populated central part of the town, where 9,656 people resided at the 2010 census,[1] is defined as the Hampton census-designated place (CDP) and is centered on the intersection of U.S. 1 and NH 27.

First called the "Plantation of Winnacunnet", Hampton was one of four original New Hampshire townships chartered by the General Court of Massachusetts, which then held authority over the colony. Winnacunnet is an Algonquian Abenaki word meaning "pleasant pines" and is the name of the town's high school, serving students from Hampton and the surrounding towns of Seabrook, North Hampton, and Hampton Falls.
In March 1635, Richard Dummer and John Spencer of the Byfield section of Newbury, came round in their shallop, coming ashore at the landing, and were much impressed by the location. Dummer, who was a member of the General Court, got that body to lay its claim to the section and plan a plantation here. The Massachusetts General Court of March 3, 1636, ordered that Dummer and Spencer be given power to "To presse men to build there a Bound house."[3]
Lane Memorial Library
The town was settled in 1638 by a group of parishioners led by Oxford University graduate Reverend Stephen Bachiler, who had formerly preached at the settlement's namesake: Hampton, England.[4] The town, incorporated in 1639, once included Seabrook, Kensington, Danville, Kingston, East Kingston, Sandown, North Hampton and Hampton Falls. On the 18th of September 1679, the Acts of Privy Council records that Stephen Bachiler's son-in-law, "Christopher Hussey of Hampton, Esquire", was appointed by King Charles II to "govern the provence of New Hampshire" as a member of the newly established council of seven men.[5][6]
Also among Hampton's earliest settlers was Thomas Leavitt, who previously had been among the first settlers at Exeter. His descendant Thomas Leavitt, Esq., lived in Hampton Falls, and was the leading Democratic politician in southern New Hampshire for many years.[7] He made a noted early survey and plan of the town of Hampton in 1806.[8] James Leavitt, of the same family, occupied the home which had previously belonged to Gen. Jonathan Moulton.[8] Later members of the family ran Leavitts' Hampton Beach Hotel, a fixture in the area for generations.[8]
Construction of the railroad in the 1850s, as well as the Exeter and Hampton Trolley line, made Hampton's oceanfront a popular resort. Hampton Beach remains a tourist destination, offering shops, restaurants, beaches, and summer seasonal housing.
Geography[edit]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 14.7 square miles (38.1 km2), of which 12.9 square miles (33.4 km2) is land and 1.8 square miles (4.7 km2) is water, comprising 12.38% of the town.[9]
Hampton is drained by the Hampton and Drakes rivers. The town lies fully within the New Hampshire Coastal watershed.[10] The highest point in Hampton is Bride Hill (approximately 150 feet (46 m) above sea level), near the town line with Exeter.

Michigan began recruiting Bielfeldt in earnest after the holidays. Coaches from the Wolverines staff have attended a handful of Irish games, with the scholarship offer coming from Michigan head coach John Beilein last week. Bielfeldt said he had the offer from Michigan when he made an official visit to Illinois on Feb. 26. He was asked by Michigan, however, to keep it quiet until Beilein could inform other recruits they were no longer in the Michigan picture.
"Initially, Michigan wasn't going to offer until after the season," Bielfeldt said. "But I guess when I got an offer from Illinois, it changed their time table.
Bielfeldt confirmed that this development made Illinois and Michigan the only two schools he is now considering. He didn't give a timetable for any decision, however, saying that he still wants to make an official visit to the Ann Arbor campus before he decides.

See who owns Whatsapp now - WhatsApp Messenger owner In 2017 is Mr.
Are you ready to See who owns whatsapp now? Do you wish to see WhatsApp Messenger owner In 2017? Don't worry much, I will show you the man behind this wonderful social chatting platform.
For those who have resisted downloading WhatsApp – it's a messaging app for iPhone, Android and other phone.
The great thing with it is that it works off wifi rather than a call plan so you can call and send images to anyone, anywhere in the world for free (excluding the cost of broadband or your phone data package).
As WhatsApp officially joins the Facebook fold, WhatsApp founder Jan Koum has joined Facebook's board. He will also be paid just $1 per year like Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, according to filings, but has been given a very hefty purse of Facebook shares to hold on to.
Facebook does, however, plan to its new businesses to achieving larger scale, according to Facebook.
How does the WhatsApp make money?
Whatsapp was created in 2009 by Brian Acton and Jan Koum – former employees of Yahoo!.
Koum came up with the name Whatsapp because it sounded like "what's up".
After a number of tweaks the app was released with a messaging component in June 2009, with 250,000 active users.
It was originally free but switched to a paid service to avoid growing too fast.
Facebook bought Whatsapp Inc in February 2014 for $19.3billion.
By February 2016 the app had more than one billion users.
Whatsapp makes money by asking users to pay about $1 to download, with each year costing the same to renew.
However in some countries the first year is free.
It also makes money through online games, advertising and selling emoticons and stickers.

Law and Policy Events 30 October 2019 - 31 December 2020
Pages - 150 years of the International Review of the Red Cross
Dating back to 1869, the International Review of the Red Cross is the world's oldest publication devoted to international humanitarian law, policy and action.
Highlighting the role of the Review in disseminating progress in international law related to armed conflict, and innovation in humanitarian response over the past 150 years, the ICRC is hosting an exhibition inviting the audience to delve into the more than 110,000 pages that form the rich history of the journal with two questions in mind—can a publication change the course of history? Is the explosion of words you see here more powerful than the explosion of bombs in the wars humankind continues to wage?
The ICRC is collaborating with the Martin Bodmer Foundation and the United Nations Office at Geneva to bring 3 exhibitions to the city of Geneva. Discover War and Peace at the Martin Bodmer Foundation, and 100 Years of Multilateralism in Geneva, at the UN Geneva Museum
Established in 1869, the International Review of the Red Cross is a peer-reviewed, academic journal produced by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and published by Cambridge University Press. The Review's audience includes governments, international organizations, non-governmental organizations, humanitarian practitioners, academics, the media and all those interested in humanitarian issues.
Driven by a desire to examine international humanitarian law, policy and action in a multi-disciplinary way, the journal hosts contributions from various fields, such as law, political science, history, sociology, psychology and so on. Recent past issues of the Review include:
Conflict in Syria – Issue 906
The Missing – Issue 905
Migration and Displacement – Issue 904
Detention: Addressing the Human Cost – Issue 903
War and Security at Sea – Issue 902

Doug MacCurdy was Director of USA Tennis Player Development from 1998 to 2001 and was Director of Development for the International Tennis Federation as well as its General Manager. Doug is also a published author on the sport of tennis with Strokes for Success. He is best known for his "academic" contributions to the sport, whereas Gullickson was more active in competitions, either as player or coach.
Do you have any tips for how to get sponsored for playing tennis on a professional level?
Tennis sponsorship
While there are certainly many ways to get a tennis sponsor, some basic first steps would be:
1. Get a competitive coach. Not all coaches will encourage or guide you to competitive matches and tournaments even though they may be great instructors and people. Ideally, a coach has a lot of experience in both improving players' games and in preparing them for match play in a professional environment. Very generally speaking, this mindset and professional track is found in Florida. Frequently, younger players with a lot of potential go to tennis schools, like Nick Bollettieri's, to receive expert coaching, conditioning, and guidance.
2. Play a lot of matches and improve your ranking statewide and then nationwide. Get as many matches under your belt before you attempt larger tournaments (meaning anything on the pro circuit; see the USTA Web site and ITF Web site for dates and listings).
3. When you win a fairly large tournament or even match (if you were ranked below your opponent prior to the match, for example), try and network with the professionals there, either coaches or players. Hopefully, your coach will be doing this as well. Use your day's success to introduce yourself to the players that are being watched by potential sponsors or are already sponsored, and then you can research that player's history. Compare your experiences: how fast did his or her ranking rise as compared to your ranking, for example. Once you know the sponsor market, you can begin preparing.
4. Some good preparation ideas are getting a video of your shots (forehand, backhand, the always-important serve, etc.) and knowing what you are worth before you are even approached. This way, if you are approached by a potential sponsor, you are ready to act on the opportunity.
So, in sum: get a great coach, play a lot of matches, improve your ranking, and talk to people who are already sponsored.
What is meant by "playing a rubber"?
Playing a Rubber
Playing a "rubber" or a "rubber game" can mean two things, depending on the situation and the activity. Most commonly, the term "rubber" is used in card games to indicate a version of the game; for instance, rubber bridge instead of duplicate bridge.
In sports, however, a rubber game is a tiebreak. In baseball, it would be the last game of a three game series; in tennis, it would be played when each player had won six games in one set.
A less formal use of the word "rubber" means, loosely, "a round." In other words, playing a rubber of tennis would entail a shorter game than the full three or five set match. This use of the word, though, is very rare, especially outside the United Kingdom.

Finding a good makeup and skincare routine is quite difficult but it becomes even more challenging when you add mother nature into the mix. As most of you are changing up your skincare routines for fall, I'm getting ready for a trip to Mexico, and that means a skincare and makeup routine that can withstand lots of heat and humidity. I'm sharing what will be in my beauty bag for my trip to Mexico.
Hope this post is helpful for ya'll when packing for your next tropical trip!
OleHenriksen A good moisturizer is so important even in hot weather. I try not to use a heavy formula but THIS moisturizer is so hydrating and perfect for humid weathers.
THIS spf. is one of the best to wear under makeup. It has a lightweight feel to it doesn't feel sticky and perfect for layering makeup.
Nivea Lip Care- I particularly like this chapstick because not only does it soften your lips but it also adds a light pink tint.
Urban Decay Setting Spray – After perfecting the perfect look for the night, the last thing you want is for it to all melt away. This setting spray is perfect for holding makeup in place all night. I also really like THIS spray and it's a bit more affordable.
Kat Von D – Creme Lipstick is one of my go to lipsticks. For the beach, I like to keep my look simple and add touches of color, so this shade is the perfect amount of color.
Estee Lauder Double Wear is my absolute favorite foundation!! I have been using this since high school and I've tried other ones along the way but this one still is number one for me!
Too Faced bronzer is my go to bronzer and have been using it for years now. They don't have the exact one any more but I linked a similar one here.
When I travel I usually do minimal things to my hair. One, it takes too long to do full glam to ruin it all with swimming the next day. I usually keep my hair with natural curls. I always make sure to use some sort of serum or leave in conditioner. I like to have a layer between my hair and the sun and pool chlorine.
Moroccan Oil – is my regular oil serum I use daily whether I style my hair or just leave it au natural..
If you haven't noticed already I love using argon oil.. I recently started using Herbal Essences Argon oil infused with Morocco oil. I use a quarter size amount and add it to my damp hair and I'm good to go for the rest of the day.
For the days I do decide to style my hair, I make sure it lasts me days and for that I use Batiste dry shampoo.
These are just a few of my essential beauty products I packed with me. What are some your must have beauty products for a tropical vacation?


Why All the Fuss? It's Just a Freakin' USB Drive.
Customer experience means a lot to us...a lot. Seriously, if we're being honest, we might as well admit the truth: we want to become friends with all our customers. Yes, we know. That's a little unusual. But we don't mind being different. From the first meeting to the final delivery, we want to build a real customer relationship; a unique experience. That means we have to pay attention to the little things. Even things as little as a USB drive.
Not every job requires delivery on a USB drive, and we like to tailor our delivery method to match the needs of the job. Modern tech means that nowadays, for most jobs, online delivery is much faster and makes the most sense. But sometimes nothing beats a hard copy from our favorite local print shop, or the feel of a quality USB drive. Like a much anticipated present on Christmas morning: it makes a pretty awesome gift.
Sure, it's just a freakin' USB drive...but sometimes, the unnecessary is necessarily important.

Donald Trump talks of a 'horrible' regime in Iran, says OPEC is ripping off the world and the need for powerful sovereignty and patriotism.
This day began with the UN secretary-general talking of a lack of trust and a need for more global unity and US President Donald Trump going in the opposite direction with a call for stronger individual sovereignty.
World leaders are having their say at the UN General Assembly in New York.
Many were watching for US President Donald Trump, who got through a wide range of topics during his 34 minutes. One of the key themes of Trump's speech was what he called "principled realism" and a need for stronger patriotism. The speech included laudatory remarks for North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and condemnation for the Islamic Republic of Iran.

What is your child really doing on that tablet? Amazon now can tell you
Edward C. Baig
NEW YORK—Amazon wants you to talk to your kids about what they're doing on its Fire tablets, part of two new features Amazon added to its FreeTime service that aims to give parents peace of mind about what kids are reading, watching and playing online.
The first feature is a Parent Dashboard that a caregiver can access from any connected browser. It supplies a daily activity report of what your child is engaged in on the tablet.
The reports reveal the videos the kids watched, the books they read, the apps and games they played, and the websites they visited, down to how many minutes they spent on a given title and how that usage pattern may have changed over the course of the week.
The second new feature, called Discussion Cards, is accessed from within the Parent Dashboard. Discussion Cards are just that, suggestions of open-ended questions or talking points about the books, videos, educational apps and games that your kid is reading, watching and playing, along with a summary of the content. Amazon's stated goal is to spark, well, a discussion, and to avoid the dreaded one-word answers kids all too often deliver.
Two of the sample questions on a Discussion Card for J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets read as follows: "Families can talk about year two at Hogwarts. How is this book different from the first in the series?" Or, "It's often considered many fans' least favorite Harry Potter book (and movie). Why do you think that is?"
Of course, some of the Discussion Card questions—they're written by Amazon content editors—are pretty general, as in "What have you built?" inside the Minecraft app, or "What problems did you encounter while building?"
Amazon says that Discussion Cards are already available for thousands of titles, with more added daily.
FreeTime itself is used by more than 10 million kids (and their parents). Parents can set up profiles for their kids through the service. There's a free version, and a premium FreeTime Unlimited subscription option, the latter of which adds unlimited access to content from Disney, Nickelodeon, PBS Kids, and Electronic Arts, among others. Prime members pay $2.99 a month for a single child on FreeTime Unlimited or $4.99 for non-Prime members, though Amazon includes a year of service gratis if you buy the Amazon Fire Kids Edition tablet, which currently costs about $80. A family of four on Prime pays $6.99 a month or $83 a year for FreeTime Unlimited,
FreeTime works on Fire tablets, Fire TV and on Kindle readers.

Smith considering neck guard after scare
Steve Smith is reconsidering his refusal to use a neck guard while batting, even though the talented batsman feels "claustrophobic" when the attachment is clipped onto his helmet.
Smith, who became international cricket's first concussion substitute on day five of the Lord's Ashes clash, is expected to miss the third Test that starts in Leeds on Thursday.
The former skipper, so central to Australia's hopes of enhancing their 1-0 series lead, was diagnosed on Sunday with what he termed a mild concussion after being struck on the neck by a Jofra Archer bouncer on Saturday.
Smith is upbeat he will recover in time to face England at Headingley but the touring party are bracing for the superstar to miss at least that game.
Smith will have to conquer some mental demons whenever he returns to the crease, as coach Justin Langer suggested, but the other big question is whether he will start using a neck guard.
StemGuards were designed by helmet manufacturer Masuri in the aftermath of Phillip Hughes' tragic death in 2014.
The helmet attachments are recommended under Cricket Australia's concussion and head trauma policy but not mandatory, although they are expected to become compulsory next year.
Smith and David Warner are among Australia's batsmen who don't use neck guards.
"I along with a few other players in the team find it a little bit different, uncomfortable to what we're used to," Smith said in London.
"I feel a little bit claustrophobic when it's on. I feel like I'm enclosed and not overly comfortable.
"But it's certainly something I need to probably have a look at.
"Perhaps try in the nets and see if I can find a way to get comfortable with it."
Warner noted in 2016 he does "not and will not wear" a neck guard because it "digs into my neck, it is uncomfortable and is a distraction".

Photojournalists are often advised not to use headphones while working. Otherwise, something important may happen very close, which journalists will not notice if they do not hear the sound. So it comes as no surprise that not many podcasts are geared specifically towards photojournalists and photography.
Below there is a list of regularly updated podcasts specializing in photojournalism and visual photography topics. This is an overlap of some digital broadcasters. There are many other people but sometimes there is simply not enough time to listen to everything.
This photography web source conducted by Booray Perry and Garu Hughes offers a fun, amusing investigation of everything in photography. The individuals who appreciate radio talk will absolutely value the manner by which the show approaches subjects, for example, surveys and photography patterns.
Hosts can get a ton of important data and significant hints across, while keeping a perky, bantering speed over time-long scenes.
Process Driven is a show about imagination that is right now on its 33rd scene. In every portion, Jeffery Saddoris takes part in plain, inside and out discussions with guests from a wide scope of themes, to talk about the 'what' and the 'how', yet additionally the 'why'.
Photographers are all around addressed in the chronicles, with past shows zeroing in on notable names including Kevin Mullins, Ondřej Vachek, David DuChemin, Kristopher Matheson and Simon Baxter.
Most scenes last around 60 minutes, and Saddoris works really hard on separating individuals' imaginative cycle; such that both rouses interest and leaves you with a feeling that you' are part of something significant.
A weekly show that discusses news, hardware and topics related to photography and documentary filmmaking. The program is hosted by photojournalist and filmmaker David J. Murphy based in Biloxi, Mississippi.
The host always says that love for the work and experience are two reasons why he has organized this program. Another reason is its uniqueness because there are not many programs that were exactly the same as what he was doing. Of course, there are good photography programs such as This Week in Photo, but in general, apart from a few episodes, they do not specialize in visual journalism.
A weekly podcast hosted by multimedia journalists DJ Clarke and Sherron Lovell. Aimed at multimedia journalists and photography students, the program discusses current trends, innovations, platforms and tools used in the world of multimedia.

It is among the best photography podcasts, hosted by Re Casper and Jim Watkins. It is released every two weeks. Among the guests of the program there are masters of documentary photography and journalists, including the Pulitzer Prize winner Scott Strazzante. Most of the conversations revolve around street and documentary photography and photojournalism. The website says that the main goal of the authors is to introduce you to new artists and talk about famous ones, and also to inspire you to grab your camera and walk out the door.
The host and creator of the digital photography podcast is a London-based photographer Ben Smith. The program includes interviews with world-class photographers who talk about their life and work. Although the program often invites professionals, the author has also conducted many interviews with prominent photojournalists.
Many, though not all, of guests are documentary photographers or photojournalists, and it will always be so. This is what is really interesting, so the program is mainly about this topic. As of late arriving at its 128th scene, interviewees have included Zed Nelson, Tom Oldham, Simon Norfolk and Lynsey Addario. Scenes normally last somewhere in the range of one and two hours. The host functions as a genius photo artist yet he initially prepared as a writer, and it shows in the polished skill of his meetings.
The host is a family and business picture photographic artist, who likewise fiddles with scenes. He gives what he calls a digital podcast for the working photographic artist. Not exclusively does the web source have an extraordinary name, however it is likewise extremely excellent. It's a laid back, quiet and invigorating talk between different photographic artists. They talk about a wide range of themes.
While this podcast focuses on the work of freelance photographers in a variety of fields, the authors conducted a number of interesting interviews with photojournalists. Created by Robert Caplin and his wife, graphic designer Laila Prats, Photo Brigade aims to strengthen the freelance photographer community, highlight new work from freelancers and students, and raise awareness among photographers who, without the help of this podcast, would not be able to share their work with the wider community. like-minded people.
This is arguably the most important beginner photography podcast as well as expert tip teacher. Forget equipment reviews, forget tips and methods, forget even success, fame and profit. There is no point in doing "how" or "what" if you don't know why.
Hosted by Ibarionex R. Perello, each hour-long episode is an interview with a different picture expert. There is no emphasis on a specific genre because all types of works, all kinds of motives are valid.
Glyn Dewis and Dave Clayton create a gander at the universes of innovativeness, photography, visual computerization, business and life. Consistently, they talk about the things they appreciate, people that energize them, and what they worship and detest in this business.
Guests have included Sue Bryce, Matt Pereira and Vincent Versace. Scene lengths change hugely, from as short as 20 minutes to as long as an hour. This is, somewhat, an impression of the laid-back, reasonably unstructured philosophy the merry hosts, who have been allies for a serious long time, take to podcasting. In somewhat more than two years, they have recorded in excess of 100 scenes.
Nevertheless, these two individuals really know their subject, and once they get their teeth into a thorny theme, they can go to some exceptionally watchful and persuading ideas.
Like Candid, Precision Shooting, is a podcast that focuses on the motives and reasons for photo shooting. Each episode has a photographer of the week, but the format is not interview-oriented and the episodes are longer.
The program explores topics such as legacy in the photography industry, science and philosophy of photography, behind-the-scenes, and how pictures can make life better.
Note that this show can be somewhat twisty, so if you want a dense and targeted podcast you should look elsewhere.
As the name suggests, this is a top show among photography podcasts for beginners and advanced expertes. It is an education site for everyone interested in shooting.

The discussions can get pretty nerdy, yet regardless, when the conversation gets super-particular, the host inherent allure and sensation of motivation helps you through and keeps the tone light.
Since 2017, its creators have posted 82 shows, which consistently run for an hour or close. Continuous subjects remember Filmmaking for the future, Tech and the pandemic, etc.
This podcast is all about practical tips and includes tips for aspiring picture amateurs and less about best practices for veterans. Then again, if you are a veteran, it might be worth listening to you just as a refresher.
The presenter is a portrait photographer Gina Militia and image enthusiast Valerie Hu. Each episode, which is between 30 and 70 minutes in length, focuses on a specific technique or aspect. There's a lot to learn from this show!
This is a web recording facilitated by Michael Rammell out of the United Kingdom. It's committed to those moving from beginner to star and has some incredible data. The show has been on somewhat of a rest recently however Michael is arranging more scenes again soon. The webcast will be moving from week by week. It is worth following because the host is super good in covering intriguing themes.
This is a variety show based on photo shooting. Hosted by Frederick van Johnson and Alex Lindsay, and guests here and there, you'll find all kinds of content here: news, tech, gear talks, interviews, and more.
Basically, this is a "week in review" for the world of photography. Episodes at least 60 minutes in length can reach the 2 hour mark, so be prepared to set aside a fair amount of time for each episode. This show is deep enough that the time is well worth it.
PetaPixel is one of the most famous sites for shooting lovers. It covers everything from gear reviews to practical tips, from news-worthy headlines to inspirational posts from fellow photographers. The PetaPixel Podcast is all reworked into two 30-minute episodes per week.
But on top of all that, the PetaPixel Podcast is awesome simply because its host, Sharky James, is amazing. He is cheerful, self-confident and with a sense of humor. This is the perfect podcast to play in the morning, before going to work.
CameraLabs Podcast is a broadcast review podcast with a focus on television cameras. As such, it is erroneously updated. In some months there may be two or three new episodes, in other months empty episodes may come and go. It all depends on what new equipment has appeared or has not appeared this month.
If you are a beginner, you can avoid this for at least the first or two years of your photographic experience. Instead, we recommend taking only the necessary gear for new amateurs and focus on technique. Equipment won't matter until you learn how to use it correctly.
Get acquainted with another branch of the same podcast to be tuned in. It does not matter if you are a beginner or a pro you will be definitely glued to this show every time you listen to it. The host is doing a fascinating job describing in detail the most essential trends in photography.
If you want to better understand the business side of photo shooting, PhotoBizX (AKA Photo Biz Xposed) is the podcast for you. Each episode is an interview with a successful photographer, and while the focus is on weddings and portraits, you can apply this advice to other areas of your photography career.

Diseases Reel and Real
Lim Qiu Ping
Imagine mass hysteria, conspiracies, self-serving power brokers and some everyday persons singled out for outbursts of heroism while defying the odds against their lives. Meanwhile, the world waited to be saved, as faceless and hapless unknowns in the crowd kept dropping dead.
This is no underdog tale where a downtrodden character or ingénue rose up against the corrupt empire, not exactly. Nor is the threat some evil overlord/alien intent on world or intergalactic domination. Today's topic is, at heart, an utterly instinctive and ordinary pursuit of health.
But, if the rather sizable subgenre of medical thriller or epidemic movies is to be believed, humanity's quest to stay hale and hearty is one high-octane plot driver. Makes for great melodrama too!
Gamgi, a 2013 South Korean epidemic thriller tells of a new strain of Avian flu that was brought to the country by a group of illegal immigrant. All had died in the shipping container they were hidden in, except for one who just happened to bear the antibody which could be made into a vaccine!
Happy coincidence aside, he was still a disease carrier and the illegality of his existence was a great motivation for a free run all over the city, leading to the liberal dispensing of the flu bug. The cat-and-mouse chase was not even half the story, with the narrative passed to a mother who defied even the military – called in to herd the population into a quarantine camp where infected bodies, whether dead or alive, were incinerated – to reunite with her recovering little girl. And of course, a mention should be made regarding the bureaucrats who argued over the ethicality of wiping out the entire city before world-wide devastation could occur.
The movie did get a happy ending – the vaccine was found, big guns set aside, family on holiday and the world at peace once more. Very fortunate.
The poster for 'Gamgi', known as 'Flu' in English.
As awesome as mass entertainment is capable of capturing that inarguably real and human fight for survival against a microbial killer, one might like to identify the line between science fiction and facts.
2011's Contagion, directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring several notable names such as Matt Damon, Marion Cotillard and Laurence Fishburne, certainly went for medical authenticity.
The movie unravels what happened when a contagious disease, carried by someone who had arrived from overseas, was unleased upon an urban city. Scriptwriter, Scott Z. Burns, consulted communicable disease specialists to understand how a pandemic situation would develop. Kate Winslet, who played one of the doctors, actually visited the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia to gain insight into how real life researchers work to find vaccines. Other than the farfetched notion of Matt Damon's character being naturally immune, those in the medical and scientific fields generally gave the thumbs-up for the film being realistic.
A rare phenomenon indeed!
The poster for 'Contagion', produced in 2011.
Still, for this one shining example of restraint in creative license, there is a spread of films out there which tend towards the speculative or downright bizarre. Zombie virus, anyone? Or how about a 1924 movie The Last Man on Earth where a peculiarly misandrous epidemic wiped out the fertile men of earth, leaving the whole of womenfolk to scramble for the last one left.
Publicity visuals for 'The Last Man on Earth', a movie from 1924.
Nonetheless, the informative potential of mass entertainment should not be underestimated, even if it is merely philosophical epiphanies one might derive from epidemic-horror or harem fantasy.
We have Mary and Martha in 2013, a television movie directed by Phillip Noyce and starring Hillary Swank and Brenda Blethyn. In it, two mothers, one upper-class American and another, a British lost their sons to malaria in South Africa. Their tragedies prompted them to the anti-malaria cause.
True, Mary and Martha has been criticised for its Eurocentrism and exoticism. However, Noyce has been honest with his agenda of simply affecting the more comfortable white audience to the awareness of this particular disease. If his lead characters cannot seem to distinct between one South African country from another or that they were startled at how familiar the locals were with the trappings of Western culture even in today's 21st century… well, let's give a benefit of doubt that screenwriter Richard Curtis knew their target audience best and how to prod them into activism.
Indeed, propaganda abounds today, even if it is well-intentioned.
The publicity visuals for 'Mary and Martha', a movie shown on HBO and BBC.
Nonetheless, movies have done their part in spreading awareness if the curiosity of the audience is tickled towards what is real. The next step would be the diligence to check things up. And perhaps once in a while, someone might remain intrigued enough to dig into deeper seams of enquiry.
There is no dearth of resources to start the fact-finding, especially in the present Information Age. In addition, the perception of diseases as communicable agents unhindered by territorial limitations (which impact is greatly magnified due to the ease of travel today) has justified a global organisation of medical regulation and public education.
In this, there can be no higher institution than the World Health Organisation (W.H.O.), which has been rather lively during April with three campaigns held within the month, out of the seven for the whole year. There is the World Health Day on 7 April, World Malaria Day on 25 April and the World Immunisation Week for the entire final week.
The headquarters of the World Health Organisation in Geneva, Switzerland.
If the information above seems rather irrelevant to your immediate reality, I would start with the basic probing of 'What is W.H.O?' to 'Do you know what the World Health Day is about?'
The W.H.O. is an extension of the United Nations (U.N.) and has constituted its global vision and service to "the attainment by all peoples of the highest possible level of health". Yes, this is the organisation that Scott Z. Burns also consulted when crafting his Contagion script and a representative of which Marion Cotillard acted as in the film.
This U.N arm was set up on 7 April 1948 (which explains World Health Day) and celebrates its birthdays with a world-wide health problem to highlight for the year. And this year's piñata happens to be vector-borne diseases; getting sick due to tiny flying buggers like mosquitoes, ticks and sandflies exchanging parasites or viruses with us for snacking on our blood.
Some varieties of mosquitoes are carriers for diseases such as malaria and dengue fever.
The list of looming threats rolled out in 2014's World Health Day report is long, with the top contender being malaria (which might explain the World Malaria Day).
Let's see: malaria transmission occurs in 97 countries, putting about 3.4 billion people at risk; 40% of the world's population or 2.5 billion people are now at risk from dengue; there have been outbreaks of chikungunya in recent decades in countries that have never recorded cases before (i.e. Europe, America and Carribean); yearly reports of around 200 000 cases of and 30 000 deaths from Yellow Fever; Japanese encephalitis is causing an estimated 50 000 cases and 10 000 deaths every year… and there is still leishmaniasis, chagas disease, Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever to consider, all of which information can be downloaded at the WHO website.
Regrettably, the booklet does not specify how to pronounce the more elaborate names of these diseases.
One of the posters for World Health Day 2014.
W.H.O's statement that "one sixth of the illness and disability suffered worldwide is due to vector-borne diseases" sounds properly pandemic, with the caveat that the "poorest segments of society and least-developed countries are most affected".
At this point, immunisation using vaccines is the easy shout-out solution – which the Immunisation Week would extol – except for the depressing note that most of these vector-borne diseases, particularly the major ones, do not come with them.
That leaves us with the preventive measures of wearing long-sleeves clothing and insect repellent; sleeping in a safety net; having in-house and outdoors spraying; proper sanitation in handling of food, water and waste. Unsurprisingly, the greatest survival odds are found in having quick access to clean, efficient and adequate medical facilities.
A South African hospital which works with what limited resources it has.
By extension, it is difficult to miss that the prevalence of these vector-borne diseases are connected to issues of globalisation, urban development, deforestation, people displacement, poor housing, etcetera – basically the short end of the socio-economic stick. It might trigger some accidental cans of worms such as 'How impoverished communities stay impoverished?' and 'Where does the money go?'
Dig at your own peril. Do note that these are the sorts of disagreeable questioning that would veer curious cats from easier talks of global health vexation and how it is featured in scintillating popular culture.
Summarily, as the frailty of the human race continues to be most safely attacked on screen, at least, word of the egregious microscopic dangers has penetrated the consciousness of our daily busyness. Hopefully, this awareness is able to make the transition into reliable knowledge and practical sympathy.
Otherwise, there remains the option of rerunning Mary and Martha on HBO and BBC. Perhaps it did during World Malaria Day.

The Late Show handles the controversy over Night Trap by creating a snarky "game" where the game designer gets attacked by dogs. Unfortunately the game designer was not featured in a speedo, nor were the dogs zombie dogs.
Although, really, I find it infinitely more satisfying that the game is on a "Worst Videogames of All Times" list than to see a "turnabout" game that doesn't even come close to approximating the way that violence against women is sexualized in many traditional horror games.

Server virtualisation has been the toast of the IT world for 15 years, but there are signs that a growing number of enterprises are done virtualising.
Following a Gartner warning that the virtualisation market is reaching its peak, we canvassed local CIOs about the issue. The general consensus was that the function has become commoditised and they are now looking at new ways to manage, optimise and automate their environments.
The warning was a key theme at last week's Gartner IT Infrastructure, Operations & Data Centre Summit in Sydney.
With Australia widely recognised as being among the world's most mature server virtualisation markets, Gartner research director Michael Warrilow noted a decline in new virtualisation licences nationally for the first time since the technology hit the mainstream.
He warned that large enterprises were saturated with virtualisation and shifting to maintenance licensing. On average, he said, 75 percent of x86 server OS instances were virtual in 2015.
Taking in less mature markets, Gartner's global prediction for the x86 server virtualisation market is a compound annual growth rate of just 6.1 percent through to 2019.
New licences for VMware – the x86 server virtualisation market leader, with Microsoft's Hyper-V a distant second – have declined as a percentage of total market revenue from nearly 70 percent in 2006 to less than 40 percent this year, and are forecast to be barely 30 percent by 2020.
Warrilow said th forecasts were validated in a roundtable of enterprise users at last week's summit. The session was about "what they had left to do with virtualisation, which was largely nothing," he told iTnews.
The National Blood Authority has invested heavily in virtualisation as part of its efforts to improve its BloodNet nationwide infrastructure.
However, the organisation is now pulling back its use of the technology as it invests in tools for better managing its environment, according to CIO Peter O'Halloran.
"Broadly speaking, our infrastructure will serve us comfortably for the next two to three years," he said.
Mortgage broker service provider Connective has been equally enthusiastic in its adoption of virtualisation and recently shifted to a 4.75TB all flash-RAM storage area network to dramatically boost the performance of its Hyper-V virtual server environment.
The company is looking forward to new growth on the back of this infrastructure, according to CIO Jonathan Meadows, but it's all set for virtualisation capacity for now.
"We're probably 98.5 percent virtualised," he told iTnews. Virtualisation purchasing "has levelled off, and we're not looking at more now".
"The only thing we're starting to look at is a way to look after our business continuity a bit better because running from Azure doesn't give us the throughput we need," Meadows said.
In their search for new ways to optimise environments, CIOs are considering technologies like containers, hyperconvergence and, of course, cloud.
The National Blood Authority's next inflection point will be in five to six years when "some of the infrastructure will start to be ageing," O'Halloran said.
"At that point we'll be looking to decide whether private cloud or hybrid cloud is the way to go," he said.
The use of containers continues to gain momentum in the cloud, and this appears to be filtering down to virtualised servers.
"Developers love the speed of the container type of idea, because they can spin up and spin down containers in seconds," Gartner's Warrilow said.
Both VMware and Hyper-V support the use of virtual containers that run on top of the operating system rather than a purpose-built hypervisor running under the OS.
Microsoft obviously sees potential in the technology with the introduction of containers in Windows Server 2016, while VMware has two container options, vSphere Integrated Containers and the Photon platform released last year.
The small and medium business (SMB) market, where vendors often look for growth when an initial adoption surge is exhausted, may not offer much refuge for virtualisation vendors, as SMBs are actually using virtualisation technology less over time, according to Warrilow.
The necessary investment in skills and solutions means SMBs "are not getting the return they need" and they will reduce their use of hypervisor-based virtualisation through at least 2017, he said.
"The complexity and the level of effort required to get bootstrapped favours bigger companies," Warrilow said.
He noted that SMBs with 20 to 40 virtual servers or fewer were looking to shift them into cloud or hyperconverged infrastructure that combines virtualisation with other administrative services into a multifaceted appliance.
Deployment of the SimpliVity OmniCube hyperconverged infrastructure helped shoe manufacturer Blundstone improve backup processes and reduce costs across the board.
Blundstone's ICT and data hardware manager Peter Cullen said the hyperconverged solution "accelerates application deployment and improves disaster recovery while eliminating cost and complexity".
Even as some vendors look to disrupt the virtualisation space with multi-function alternatives, virtualisation specialists are reworking their businesses with an eye to adding more value around virtualisation environments than they have in the past.
"We've had to change and move the business into other areas over the last few years," said James Ormesher, national sales manager with virtualisation specialist VMtech.
"Now that you can virtualise most workloads, it's no longer really a conversation about physical or virtual; it's more about private cloud vs public cloud.
St John Ambulance Australia is currently migrating its virtualised environment into VMtech's data centres, where it will be run as a hosted service.
"We were looking at storage and network refresh and reducing the complexity of owning and running our own IT infrastructure, enhancing our disaster recovery capabilities and ensuring that our staff and volunteers have seamless and always available access to our services," St John's IT manager Barney Lee told iTnews.
This sort of transition likely represents the future of virtualisation: not a slide into irrelevance, as much as a foundation for further infrastructure transformation that will allow businesses to abstract their entire IT infrastructure from the day-to-day operation of the business.
Smaller organisations may be in a position to reconsider their virtualisation approach in favour of more integrated or hosted environments.
But Warrilow said success at that level may well drive similar moves at the big end of town - particularly in Australia, where the high saturation of virtualisation and the natural forces of continuous infrastructure evolution are likely to make the trend "more pronounced".
Smaller businesses "can do that more quickly," he said.
Warrilow also warned that many Australian businesses are "too enthusiastic" about the cloud.
"Some are making dangerous assumptions that it will always save them money, which it's not necessarily going to do," he said.
