Foreign trade turned out to be dynamic in May 2017. Thus, on a working-day adjusted basis, exports grew by 7.5% and imports by 8.7%. In both directions, chemical and pharmaceutical products generated considerable momentum. The balance of trade showed a large surplus of CHF 3.4 billion.
Year on year, exports rose by 7.5% on a working-day adjusted basis (real: + 4.5%). Compared to the previous month (seasonally adjusted), they rose by 4.6%. The trend is now pointing upwards, following the slightly negative trend since the beginning of the year. Imports rose by 8.7% in the course of the year (real: +4.5%). Compared to April 2017, they rose by 2.8% on a seasonally adjusted basis. This strengthened the uptrend recorded since December 2016.
All main groups reported a working-day-adjusted increase in sales between +1% and +25%. More than half of the total increase in exports of CHF 1.3 billion was attributable to chemical and pharmaceutical products (+ 9%).
Exports of textiles, clothing and footwear posted the greatest growth due to high returns. Vehicle exports – especially rolling stock – and metal exports also grew in the double-digit range. For the first time in a while, watch exports posted a clear increase again (+ 9% respectively + CHF 140 million). In the chemicals segment, pharmaceuticals orders increased by more than half (+ CHF 497 million), while orders for immunological products rose by 7%. The second-largest export segment, machinery and electronics, posted a plus of 1%, which mainly came from the non-electrical machinery segment (+59%).
The bulk of exports were concentrated in the two largest markets, Asia (+16%) and Europe (+8%, EU: +9%). In the former, Singapore, China and Japan topped this list, accounting for a third to half more Swiss goods (a total of + CHF 590 million). In Europe, orders to Austria rose by a quarter, while deliveries to Germany grew by 16% and those to Italy by 12%. By contrast, exports to North America fell by 5% (US: -5%) and to Latin America by 4%.
May 2017 saw a 9% working-day-adjusted increase. Overall, three quarters of the product groups posted an increase. Imports of chemical and pharmaceutical products, which rose by a quarter, increased particularly impressively. This segment therefore accounted for more than 70% of the total increase in imports.
Drugs (+ CHF 630 million) and pharmaceuticals (+ CHF 406 million), which increased by half respectively three quarters, were responsible for the growth in imports of chemical and pharmaceutical products. Energy carriers, which grew by 18% solely as a result of price hikes, also posted a strong increase. Imports of textiles, clothing and footwear (+ 14%) as well as those of metals (+ 11%), also grew in the double-digit range.
With the exception of North America (-20%), imports from all continents rose. Imports from Europe (+14%) rose at an above-average rate. Increased pharmaceuticals purchases resulted in a sharp increase in imports from Ireland (+70%) and Austria (+45%). In addition, our neighbors Germany (+17%) and France (+16%) also played an important role, with imports rising by CHF 649 million and 164 million respectively. Imports from Asia, Switzerland's second-largest procurement market, rose by 3% overall. The decline in imports from North America resulted from the adverse development of imports in the aviation sector: the strong decline in imports from the USA (- CHF 371 million) stood in stark contrast to imports from Canada which tripled (+ CHF 106 million).


Café culture is big in Malaysia, especially in the urban areas, where the hipsters usually sprout. Personally, I love coffee and the growing café culture we have here. There's just something about a good café and the unique sounds and smells that come with it. Pickle & Fig is one such café, located within the elite residential area of Taman Tun Dr Ismail.
Brown walls, wooden chairs, minimalist furniture, and chalkboard menu – it ticked all the right boxes for me. Ken from Pickle & Fig welcomed us in, and we quickly made ourselves comfortable. According to him, the café's main draws were the sandwiches and the smoothies – and boy, were there a long list of sarnies and smoothies!
We tried two sandwiches – the BBQ Philly Cheesesteak and the Smoked Duck Banh Mi. As I'm not really a beef eater, my colleagues happily volunteered to do the taste test of the Philly for me. He described the meat as tender, with the BBQ sauce being the perfect complement. Well one thing is for sure – the cheesesteak sandwich looked super good!
The Banh Mi was really fresh, and I'm not even kidding. The smoked duck was so flavourful and the vegetables were as fresh as could be. The crunchiness of the leaves bode well with the chewy duck meat and that sandwich flew by in no time. There was surprisingly no sauce in the banh mi, and I don't even think there was any need for it too.
Of course, we couldn't pass on without trying the Smoked Salmon Carbonara, which is one of the most-popular pasta dishes in the café. You know why it was so special? The carbonara sauce is homemade. In fact, every sauce used in their dishes is made in-house. The carbonara pasta was creamy, rich, and the salty flesh of the smoked salmon lent some punch to the dish. We absolutely loved this pasta, as you can probably tell.
For desserts, we had fresh churros, which came with chocolate and caramel dips (made in-house too of course). I personally am a big fan of churros, and thoroughly dug in the plate of fried flour strips. As for drinks, we ordered the Avocado Date smoothie and a cappuccino. The smoothie had a distinct yoghurt taste, which I loved because it reminded me of lassi. The bits of dates added some wonderful sugary texture. The cappuccino – well, it definitely didn't disappoint! I am definitely looking forward to having churros and cappuccino again at Pickle & Fig!

The Scavenger 2015
Netflix's Dead to Me
Posted by press320 on June 15, 2019 in Uncategorized	|No Comments
One of Netflix's newest original series, Dead to Me, debuted on May 3 and it walks a fine line between heart-wrenching drama and laugh-out-loud comedy. Classified as a "dark comedy," the show focuses on the unlikely friendship between Jen (Christina Applegate), a mother of two still reeling from the death of her husband, and Judy (Linda Cardellini), a somewhat eccentric, yet endearing woman, as they attend the same grief counselling sessions. Dead to Me puts a unique twist on a tale about loss and how people deal with it, even though it may struggle with focusing on the genre it wants to be at times.
It's a strange feeling to be brought to tears one second, and then left laughing the next, multiple times in a 30-minute time span, but this is what Dead to Me pulls out of its viewers right from the first episode.
Applegate is perfect at playing the tough, curt, snappy woman in public and balancing that with the caring, empathetic nature she shows to her characters' children in private, and Cardellini is endearing and just strange enough in her portrayal of the approachable, yet tortured Judy; however, what drives the show is the women's chemistry with one another.
They make it believable that two strangers with opposite personalities could become so close so quickly, without any feeling of it being forced or, worse, corny. Strong supporting performances from James Marsden as Steve Wood, Judy's ex-fiancé, and Max Jenkins as Jen's real estate partner Christopher Doyle aid in creating and shaping this dark, yet not quite overly gloomy, world that these women live in.
Dead to Me is appropriately billed as a "dark comedy," as it attempts to make light of a dark and, quite frankly, devastating subject: sometimes this works, and sometimes it doesn't. A good chunk of the show is actually quite sad, and although it approaches the topics of grief and guilt in a well-rounded way, the comedic aspects squeezed into the in-between moments can sometimes feel forced, and they may not hit their intended targets spot on. This isn't to say that the formula doesn't work, because for the most part, it does — it simply comes across as a little unbalanced at times.
With strong lead and supporting roles, great chemistry, and a plot thick enough to allow for constant cliff-hangers and more questions than answers, Dead to Me certainly has lots of steam to make for a solid series for Netflix — which has been proven now that it has been picked up for a second season. If the series could put a little more attention into creating space for humour, instead of pushing it into sad moments — that are wonderfully crafted and performed — in hopes that it will lighten the mood, a solid balance could be made that could fully do the term "dark comedy" justice. With some fine tuning, Netflix may have one of the most lively TV shows to feature the word dead in the title in a long time.

Hotel Transylvania 3: Third Time's the Charm for Andy Samberg and Selena Gomez
The comedian and singer say their characters are growing up in the Hotel Transylvania threequel.
By Don Kaye | May 23, 2018 |
Since the Hotel Transylvania franchise was launched in 2012 with the charming original film, the series has been based around the funny and often dysfunctional relationship between Dracula (voiced by Adam Sandler), his daughter Mavis (Selena Gomez) and her human love Jonathan (Andy Samberg), with the latter two marrying and having a child between the first and second movie.
Now in the upcoming third film, Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation, the family takes a break from the hotel business and heads out on a vacation of their own — on a monsters-only cruise ship pointed, of course, at the Bermuda Triangle. Drac hopes to find romance on the big boat, but is not prepared for the captain and cruise director, Erika (Kathryn Hahn), to be the great-granddaughter of his old nemesis, Abraham Van Helsing.
Samberg and Gomez are back, along with Sandler and many other key voices, and the duo at the heart of the series recently turned up at a Sony Animation presentation in Los Angeles to preview the film for reporters in a roundtable conversation. Den of Geek was there as well to cover what they had to say (edited for length and clarity):
What do you like most about how far your characters have come in this story? When this story started, you were just two young teenagers in love, and now you're married and have a family, and going on this trip together.
Andy Samberg: I like that, too. I mean, it's definitely for me lined up almost identically with how that has gone down in my real life.
Selena Gomez: That's so nice.
Samberg: But also I think it's kind of a little bit of an anomaly in an animated movie. Usually there's not like huge leaps of life changes and that kind of thing. I enjoy that as a viewer certainly.
Gomez: I think it's fun. I feel comfortable with everyone. It just feels like you're getting back with old friends and doing it. I mean, I haven't seen (Samberg) in six years, but I enjoy every time I'm with Andy.
Does the process change? Is there a big difference between the recording sessions that you did for the first movie versus ones you did with this one?
Samberg: It just moves a little more quickly, I think, is the main difference. Similar to any show or movie sequel when you have shorthand with the creatives and the characters. You know what they are. You know what the voice is supposed to sound like. You fall into it a lot faster. There's less experimenting cause you know what you want to get more.
Gomez: You know what's funny, though, is my voice changed. I was probably 17 or 18 when I did the first one.
Samberg: You finished puberty.
Gomez: Yeah. The voice just got lower and lower, but I watched the first one and I can't go that high anymore. So it actually helps to my benefit that they are growing up.
When you see the finished product, do you see any of yourselves or your personal mannerisms or facial expressions in these characters at all?
Samberg: A little bit. I think for the first one they would film us more while we were recording for that reason. But yeah, it's more like, once you see how crazy they go with the expressions, you try and match that with your voice as opposed to the other way around, I think.
So what does one do when they go on vacation to the Bermuda Triangle?
Samberg: This is the movie that finally answers that question. It's going to kill off a lot of, you know, cable specials about what the Bermuda Triangle really is, cause now we're gonna know factually.
Do you guys have any family vacations horror stories that are kind of similar to this movie and what you've done here?
Gomez: My family vacations were just, like taking a drive to San Antonio. We didn't really have much exposure outside of Texas, so it was a lot of basketball games. My dad really wanted me to be a boy so he would just take me to San Antonio Spurs. That was great. There's nothing funny about it, but that was kind of my vacation growing up.
Samberg: Did he make his peace with it eventually?
Gomez: I don't think so. No, he wants me to, like, play golf with him still. It's like, I can't.
Samberg: Family trips. I mostly used the bathroom. A lot of barfing. Winding roads. Small child nausea. We had a Volvo station wagon, and we had the flip up seats in the back that faced backwards. I don't think those should be allowed.
The footage that spoke the most to me was the Gremlin Airlines scene. Have you guys ever been on a plane where you're like, "I'm not so sure about this"?
Samberg: Most of my job. I feel like the older I get, the more I'm afraid of flying. When I was younger, I'd just be like, "Yeah, this'll work. I trust everyone." And now it's like, "Uh oh" every time there's turbulence.
Gomez: I don't know. I'm kind of like, "If I go, I go." You know?
Samberg: I'm gonna try to be more like Selena.
Will Mavis be helping poor, lonely Dracula at all in his journey to meet someone special?
Gomez: I think, like, actually in real life when my dad and my mom split up, I was very much like, I didn't want anyone with him. I was younger. This wasn't recently because I want him to be happy. But I think that's her. That's her. She's not really aware that he's alone. He's just her dad. So I think it took a minute for her to kind of adjust. So maybe she's against it a little bit at first.

Scream Review: Not Our Favorite Scary Movie
By Don Kaye
For a lot of kids who see these movies, this is sort of their gateway to meeting monsters like Dracula and Frankenstein. Do you remember your first exposure to these iconic characters?
Samberg: Yeah, I mean, probably either the original or second iterations of them. It was definitely black-and-white on public access television or something. I feel like I remember being a kid and seeing like, Frankenstein with Abbott & Costello, stuff like that. And then, Young Frankenstein for me was obviously major, but I never got wildly into the horror version of it because by the time I was watching them as a kid, they seemed kind of old.
I feel like these monsters are actually flipped correctly into this franchise because to generations now that have Saw and stuff like that, these monsters are actually kind of fun and silly, and like you've seen them on Count Chocula and Franken Berry and stuff. It's definitely been watered down, and horror has changed.
Gomez: It's true. I was first exposed for Halloween. I think that was kind of when I knew. But my family started me on Chucky and Jason and Freddy. I knew all those first. So these characters were very comforting when I was younger. They never seemed frightening.
Do you watch your own stuff? Is this easier cause it's animated?
Samberg: I definitely watch them. I watch almost everything I do just to learn, you know. To see how it turns out and see the people I work with, see what choices they made and stuff like that.
Gomez: Same, I guess. I've been very focused on music the past two years, but I would do the same thing.
What's the best thing about playing an animated character?
Samberg: You get to go huge with your performance and not be judged.
Gomez: For me, I have to be honest, I love staying connected to the littles. Like it's just something that I really, really miss. It kind of sounds weird to say but I loved being a part of a show that was centered for families and kids. It seemed fun and easy, and there's nothing better than making a kid smile genuinely. Especially in what we do.

Антисоціальний розлад особистості () — розлад особистості, якому притаманне ігнорування (зазвичай через не усвідомлення, хоч і раціональне розуміння) соціальних норм і прав інших, імпульсивність, іноді в поєднанні з агресивністю і дуже обмеженою здатністю, чи відсутністю інтересу до формування тривалих стосунків. Слабо виражене або відсутнє сумління, схильність до зловживання психоактивними речовинами. Антисоціальна поведінка зазвичай починається у віці до 8 років, і в майже 80% випадків перші симптоми проявляються до 11 років.

Поширеність цього розладу досягає піку у людей віком від 24 до 44 років і часто знижується у людей віком від 45 до 64 років. У США рівень антисоціального розладу особистості в загальній популяції оцінюється від 0,5% до 3,5%. Однак вибірка може суттєво вплинути на рівень поширеності розладу. У дослідженні доктора Дональда В. Блека, випадкова вибірка з 320 нещодавно ув'язнених злочинців виявила, що ASPD був присутній у понад 35% опитаних.

В останньому виданні американського довідника з психічних розладів DSM-5 відзначають, що "психопатія" () і "соціопатія" () є синонімами антисоціального розладу особистості.

Something that grows out of nothingness is naturalness, like a seed coming out of the ground. The seed has no idea of being a particular plant, but has its own form and is in perfect harmony with the ground, with its surroundings... When what you do just comes out of nothingness, you have quite a new feeling.
Attention is an alchemy that turns dullness to beauty and anxiety to ease.

Congressional Black Caucus backs Reid
(CNN) - As first reported Sunday evening by CNN Political Editor Mark Preston, the Congressional Black Caucus has accepted Sen. Harry Reid's apology for remarks he made about President Obama's race and is dismissing calls for him to step down as majority leader.
See full statement below:
Washington D.C. – Today Rep. Barbara Lee, Chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus issued the following statement in response to Republican demands that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid step down:
"I have had an opportunity to speak with Senator Reid and he apologized for his unfortunate remarks concerning the President and he understands the gravity of such remarks. There are too many issues like the economy, job creation and energy for these regrettable comments to distract us from the work that must be done on behalf of the American people.
"Over the years, I have had an opportunity to work with Majority Leader Reid. Senator Reid's record provides a stark contrast to actions of Republicans to block legislation that would benefit poor and minority communities – most recently reflected in Republican opposition to the Health Bill now under consideration. I look forward to Senator Reid continuing to serve as Majority Leader to guide this important agenda through the Senate.
"The Congressional Black Caucus believes that thoughtful engagement and civil discourse on race is needed, as our first "Dialogue on Race" in November 2009 demonstrated. There is a deep unease about race which cannot be swept under the rug. I appreciate Senator Reid's apology and look forward to our continuing work."

Maybe, just maybe the Republicans may one day figure IT out. Steele does not a Negro make.

Wow! So if a conservative black can be labeled as an "Uncle Tom" b/c they're (wrongly) viewed as subserviant to white Republicans, then what the heck do you call black Dems who casually dismiss a racially insensitive comment made by the Senate Majority leader (besides engaging in political expediency)?
When a Democrat says something racist, it's a "distraction," from the real issues, when a Republican says something racist, it's the only issue. A double standard for the double speakers.
January 11, 2010 01:40 am at 1:40 am |
There's a world of difference between what Harry Reid said and what Trent Lott said. Lott was praising a former segregationist (Strom Thurmond) who had fought fiercely against racial integration and said that the country would have been better off had it listened to Thurmond...or words to that effect. Reid, on the other hand, just said something that was insensitive and stupid.
Reid's record is one of support for those political goals of various minority groups...not Lott's. Lott's record was one of resistance to those goals.
Bottom line: Lott was pandering to bigots when he said what he said. Reid was not.
For conservatives to try to equate the two just shows that they know nothing about the racial divide in this country...nor do they have any interest in that divide except to try to exploit it for political gain. They are just playing their usual divisive political games.

I do hate the media's ability and desire to make mountains out of molehills.
It is frankly a disease of 24 hour news bulletins that sound bite anything. Often totally out of context.
Breaking news is almost always broken because it gets dramatised for effect and often later proves much less significant than originally portrayed.
One example (not CNN) but a distinguished professor thought it appropriate in writing to CRITICISE President Obama for referring to the Xmas bomber as the 'ALLEGED" bomber. Did he forget the maxim of innocent until proven guilty Military or Civil court.
To me that is libellous, and I would sue him. This kind of heresy has to stop as well as the spoken ( uncorrected) slanders by many News agencies, who seem to think updates fix everything, they do not as it assumes the updates reaches all the original audience and thats not true as it was and is with newspapers, who print corrections to all regular readers.
Its called integrity, a fundamental principle of good Journalism.

what a joke CNN to help the democrats again why to go all the most mistrusted news in the world.
As long as he is carrying their water, it's ok to be sorta racist. Sure there's a double standard, both parties are filled with racists of all types and varieties.

I give Reid a pass because he's been in the rural area of Nevada most of his life. He really thought he was complimenting the president. So if he didn't know it was wrong then, he knows now.
Robert - Palm Desert, CA
Senator Reid spoke the truth. So did Joe Biden when he said during the primaries,
"I mean...you got the first sort of mainstream...uh...black American guy...who is articulate, bright and...uh...clean...a nice looking guy...I mean...that's a story book..."
Barack Obama was born to a Kenyan playboy and a young White American student. He grew up in Hawaii and Indonesia, and raised by an Indonesian stepfather and White grandparents. He was not and is not a typical African American. The only part of him that has any connection to the real world black American community is - his wife.
It is highly unlikely that a darker-skinned, culturally black American (that includes any member of the Congressional Black Caucus, Governor Patterson, or Governor Patrick), could have been elected President of the USA in 2008. The election of Barack Hussein Obama was one of the biggest - if not the biggest - flukes in American history.
Those are the facts, and there's nothing racist about them.
But if a Republican made similar comments they would be calling for heads to roll. The CBC is a joke with no legitimacy.
what a bunch of hypocrits!! if that had been a republican or independent who said that al sharpton and jessie jackson would be marching on washington demanding that the resign. the black caucus are nothing but a bunch of opportunists who use race whenever it benefits them. it's amazing that when it is a democrat who says these things, it's not such a big deal and all is forgiven. what a joke. sharpton, jackson and lee make me physically ill. they are the worst america has to offer and this country will be so much better when they are no longer in the public eye.
stephensonbillings
What wondrous hyporcrisy! These same elected hacks couldn't wait to call for Trent Lott's hanging for comments that were over a decade old. Now, they're claiming that democrat Reid is a decent, upstanding person to lead their party in Congress? Have they no shame? I would think the American people would find it repugnant to have this bigot hold any sort of elected office whatsoever. Sen. Reid should do the right thing and resign. He has disgraced himself and shown the undercurrent of selfishness and egotism in the Democrat Party. As a journalist who has watched politics for many, many years I must say this really takes the cake.
Yeah and if a Republican made the same comment they'd be called a racist and forced to resign, can anyone say double standard.
MARKPAIN
The only problem I have with what I`ve heard from Senator Reid is the word "Negro". If he had said African-American (which I don`t like to be refered to as) or Black I would agree with him. I also think Senator Reid isn`t that good of a leader and Democrats aren`t that smart in general either. The Dems could easily throw recent stupid comments by the gop back at them instead of taking a beating like a boxer on the ropes then hoping the gop has mercy on them

The whisky tours is a very exciting experience and a chance of a lifetime for all you whisky enthusiast and includes visiting the whisky coast which including Arran Kintyre, Islay and the "Spirit of the West" Festival for two days. All the information that you require is below and if you are interested in this tour click the links to go straight to the Rabbies.com website.
Depart Edinburgh and travel west through Scotland's largest city, Glasgow towards the ferry terminal at Ardrossan. Here you catch boat to the Island of Arran – known as "Scotland in Miniature". Arran is Scotland's most southerly island. It contains examples of all of the scenery of Scotland, with the mountains, glens, lochs and castles, and has some great local produce to inspire your taste buds.
You arrive on Arran in Brodick - the largest village on the island. After lunch you have the afternoon to visit the Isle of Arran Distillery and some of Arran's other great local producers: Arran Brewery, Arran Cheeses & Creelers' Smokehouse. These local businesses all thrive on their natural products that reflect the uniqueness of the island. The day will finish with a special local menu for dinner.
Takes you to the peninsula of Kintyre, traveling south to Campbeltown where you will take a tour of Springbank, one of the few family owned distilleries left, followed by lunch and the chance to sample some unusual whiskies in their exclusive private tasting room. Then travel back north to catch the ferry to the second island of the tour.
Clean air, unpolluted seas and a mild climate combine to give Islay a unique environment that produces world-class whiskies and food. Around the middle of the 19th century, Islay boasted no less than a dozen distilleries. The tradition continues today with eight distilleries (Lagavulin, Laphroaig, Bowmore, Bunnahabhain, Bruichladdich, Ardbeg, Caol Ila and Kilchoman), still producing some of the most popular and, certainly, most flavoursome malt whiskies in the world. The local whiskies are renowned for their strong peaty flavours and are nurtured by the salty sea air.
Overnight at either: Bowmore Cottages (in the grounds of the distillery!) or a local inn. Dinner can be taken on the ferry or on arrival on Islay but is NOT included.
Explores the delights of "The Queen of the Isles" with its magnificent beaches and fertile lands. You will visit three of the island's distilleries as well as seeing some great scenery.
Starting the day with a "vertical tasting" at Laphroaig you will follow this up with lunch and a tasting at Ardbeg. After a photo stop at Lagavulin and a visit to the ancient celtic stone cross at Kildalton the tour travels back to Bowmore for the Distillery Manager's tour and tasting. This should set you up nicely for dinner at the renowned Harbour Inn – famous for its seafood and other island produce.
In the morning you will cross the island to visit the beautiful Saligo Bay for a short walk – just to build up a thirst for a visit to the newest distillery on the island – Kilchoman. Despite being the smallest and least known of the Islay distilleries you are sure of a great welcome and some fine whisky. After a quick lunch here there will just be time for a stop of at Caol Ila distillery before boarding the ferry back to the mainland.
Having left Islay behind you travel through Argyll and the coastal villages of Tarbet and Lochgilphead before arriving in the historic town of Inveraray.
Either transfer back to Glasgow or Edinburgh or join the Whisky Coast Northern Explorer to continue your adventure….
Lunch on days 2 and 3.

28 percent TN students have excessive iodine levels, 12 percent have low levels
The laboratory lifted 1,496 urine samples from government school children in the age group of six to 12 years. The samples were being tested from January till last month.

Iodine deficiency poses a threat throughout life
To further strengthen the National Iodine Deficiency Disorder Control Programme with scientific data, Iodine Deficiency Disorder (IDD) Laboratory in Directorate of Public Health (DPH) has been testing urine samples of government school children to check iodised salt consumption. According to the study, 12 percent of the students have low iodine levels and 28 percent have excessive iodine levels. Excessive iodine may cause the thyroid gland to become overactive and produce excess thyroid hormones (hyperthyroidism), particularly in people who used to consume too little iodine. However, sometimesexcess iodine can decrease production of thyroid hormones (causing hypothyroidism).
The laboratory lifted 1,496 urine samples from government school children in the age group of six to 12 years. The samples are being tested from January till last month. They were taken from schools in Thanjavur, Kaniyakumari, Thoothukudi, The Nilgiris and Villupuram districts. From each district, except The Nilgiris, 300 samples were tested. In the Nilgiris alone, 296 samples were tested, officials said.They said the Union Health Ministry had identified 18 districts, including Cuddalore, Dharmapuri, Erode, Perambalur, Pudukottai and Villupuram as endemic to IDD.
A Somasundaram, Additional Director for Universal Health Coverage Programme and Joint Director, Health Education, DPH, told Express We are conducting the study in districts that were identified as endemic.We have been conducting awareness programme in schools for school children and teachers on iodine consumption .Among the 1,496 samples tested, 416 students (28 per cent) had excessive iodine content in their urine samples, 572 (38 per cent) had adequate iodine content, 188 (13 per cent) had mild, 141 (nine per cent) had moderate and 179 (12 per cent) had severe iodine content, that is very less content of iodine. The body takes adequate amount of iodine and excretes the excess. Daily allowance of iodine for children in the age group of one to three is 90 micro grams.
For children in the age group of four to eight, it is 120 micro grams and for those aged between nine and 13, 150 micro grams, explained S Raju, Deputy Director, State Public Health Laboratory.Officials said it is an ongoing study and more samples will be lifted and analysed. Also, the IDD lab has been testing various brands of salt taken from retail shops in urban and rural areas in the districts. According to World Health Organisation (WHO), an estimated 35 per cent of world population has insufficient iodine intake and continues to live at risk for iodine deficiency and associated IDD.
Iodine deficiency poses a threat throughout life. It has been associated with mental impairment and goitre in older children and adults. It is also associated with complications with pregnancy, including stillbirth and congenital anomalies. Also, inadequate iodine intake during pregnancy may lead to irreversible fetal brain damage.


Kate Mccallum, Masterclass Trainer for "Business of Transmedia Storytelling"
Q1. What is Transmedia? What are some of the most "alternative" understandings of "Transmedia" you have come across?
Kate: Simply, Transmedia is telling a story or narrative across multiple platforms.
Chris Thomes, VP of Digital Media Studios at Disney/ABC Television Group and I collaborated on an article addressing Transmedia that was featured in the PGA's magazine.
Here is a white paper I wrote as a simple introduction to Transmedia.
Q2. How has Transmedia transformed the media landscape? How far do you think this industry will grow?
Kate: Technologies and creativity has transformed the media landscape. Transmedia is one result of the creative freedom and the ability that artists and creators now have to create and distribute their own content and art to a global audience and explore emerging innovative narrative techniques across multiple platforms. It all starts with story and IP, intellectual properties and how creators or corporations choose to move into the ever-expanding platforms through which they can share their stories/projects/brands. Transmedia as a term may become more defined or it may die out. It's not so much the terminology that is important but the approach and the strategy. Either from a top down strategy executed by major corporations, media, entertainment and educational organizations, or by the bottom up as executed by the solo artist/creator. As more and more new media platforms emerge more and more outlets for sharing story will evolve.
Q3. What are some of the upcoming trends in Transmedia?
Kate: I believe that we will see more major studios, broadcasters, creatives embracing the strategy from the start of projects versus as an afterthought. I also think that educational organizations and corporations will begin to utilize it as well.
I personally hope to see creators considering and generating more socially relevant projects that include educational and philanthropic experiences as extensions of their storyworlds and IP.
I also post relevant "Transmedia" related findings on a FaceBook page called the "Future of Transmedia".

I finished the top for a quilt I'm making to give away at the company Christmas party on Friday. dragged the teen to Joann's for batting and thread this morning after some Starbucks bribery.
I started sewing the top two days ago – marathon *I might just get sick of sewing* stitching session… I only got the name of the intended last Friday and ordered fabric in a hurry. It's meant to match this chair she recently purchased from Target.
back to marathon sewing…. I need to finish this quilt for Friday's party and the Cinderella quilt for the Monday following and then my niece's bowtie quilt. and I have some sadistic fantasy about managing to finish a Christmas pillow for someone, too. I think there's going to be a lot of dirty dishes and dust bunnies around here!

Guaranteed bonds are bonds backed by a company other than the issuer. Frequently, in America, the guarantor is the parent company of the corporation issuing the bonds. But this arrangement can exist in any number of ways, both in this country and abroad.
Canadian "crown corporations," for example, are private corporations guaranteed financial backing by the federal government. If the issuer defaults or suffers bankruptcy, the Canadian government assumes responsibility for the outstanding guaranteed debt.
It is unusual for the US federal government to back guaranteed bonds issued by private corporations, but there are a few exceptions to this rule.
In the United Kingdom, the term "guaranteed bond" usually refers to fixed-rate bonds. So in the UK it is the bond's interest rate that is guaranteed, rather than the principal and interest payments as we have it here in North America.
The most important factor in a bond's safety is usually the financial security of the issuer. Even the most secure bonds, like closed indenture mortgage bonds, are shaky investments if the issuer is a small, young company. Guaranteed bonds are a way around this. Small corporations having difficulty financing debt backed by their own credit can use the credit of a parent corporation, insurance company, or investment bank to secure a much less risky bond issue.
Guaranteed bonds enjoy the security not only of the issuer, but also of the backing company, and are considered very safe investments, with relatively low interest rates to off-set this advantage.

Who Is Gerard Koob On 'The Keepers'? The Former Priest Has Close Ties To The Case
By Mariella Mosthof
Netflix's latest true-crime docuseries The Keepers premieres this month and it promises a deep dive into the 1969 murder of Sister Cathy Ann Cesnik, a 26-year-old nun and high school teacher who lived in Baltimore. Cesnik was believed to have information about alleged sexual abuse about faculty member Father Joseph Maskell, which was supposedly taking place at the high school where she taught drama and English. One popular theory is that she was murdered by someone in the church in order to silence her and avoid a sex abuse scandal. The Baltimore Archdiocese refuted the theory in a statement to Romper stating that "Father Maskell was never considered a suspect in that murder. He was interviewed once. One of the victims claimed that she had a recovered memory of his involvement in her death, but he was interviewed and never charged." The disappearance was reported by a local priest, but who is Gerard Koob on The Keepers? He was revealed to have a pretty strong connection to the case.
Koob is a former priest who has since converted, become a Methodist minister, and gotten married. But at the time of Cesnik's disappearance, he was a Jesuit priest living in Annapolis. He was the first person Cesnik's roommate, a fellow nun named Sister Helen Russell Phillips, called when she realized Cesnik had gone missing around 11 p.m. the night of her disappearance. It's an odd detail of the case that Phillips turned to the church instead of police when a crime had taken place, and, according to Louis George "Bud" Roemer, a homicide detective on the case, it suggests Koob knew more than he was letting on.
Netflix on YouTube
Koob arrived at Cesnik and Phillips' apartment with another Jesuit brother soon after the call was placed, and, together, they decided to contact police around midnight that night when Sister Cathy failed to return home. They called in Cesnik's disappearance and, after speaking with police at length, they reportedly decided to go for a walk at 4 a.m. to calm their nerves after the ordeal. When they returned, they claimed to have found Cesnik's car abandoned in front of the apartment complex. No evidence suggesting her whereabouts or what had transpired was found inside the car.
According to a 2015 HuffPost feature on the case, Koob had been in a romantic relationship with Cesnik at the time she went missing. In fact, prior to her taking her final vows as a nun, he had asked her to marry him. "I said, 'If you decide to leave, we'll leave and get married," Koob told the outlet. She declined the offer, but the two of them continued to write love letters to each other.
An investigator close to the case also claimed that, just as police were beginning to deeply probe Koob as a strong lead, the Catholic Church intervened and asked the Baltimore County Police Department to back off. According to a Baltimore Sun City Paper story on the murder:
'We thought Koob was about to break,' retired Baltimore City homicide investigator Harry Bannon says. 'And then the church lawyers stepped in and they talked to the higher-ups at the police department. And we were told, 'Either charge Koob with a crime or let him go. Stop harassing him.'
'After that, we had to break away from him,' Bannon continues. 'And that was a shame, because I'm sure Koob knew more than he was telling. We never did solve the case, and I think part of the reason was that we had to back away from Koob.'
Koob is featured in The Keepers in present day, revisiting the case. Whatever fresh insights he may be willing to provide this time, you can catch then when The Keepers drops on May 19.

Those selected will join a programme curated for ANZ scale-ups. This will include sessions from key players in the UK tech ecosystem, who will provide exclusive insights on market opportunities and guidance on capital raising, R&D and support to set up.
British Consul General and Deputy Trade Commissioner Asia Pacific (Australia and New Zealand), Louise Cantillon said:
The UK tech sector has reached new heights and is the first country in Europe to reach 100 unicorns [tech companies valued at US$1 billion]. This means the UK now has the largest number of tech unicorns in Europe. With a fantastic track record for supporting tech companies and innovation, the UK is the ideal location for Australian and Kiwi tech companies who are ready to expand internationally.
The UK's Department for International Trade team is delighted to be running this mission again. Despite physical restrictions, this is a great platform for the tech community to come together and for Australian and NZ companies to explore the opportunities the UK market has on offer. Good luck to everyone applying.
DIT's delegation last year was the largest ever from Australia and New Zealand. 130 tech founders and industry representatives joined the mission.
LTW is part of a broader programme of initiatives to increase digital trade and investment opportunities between the UK and ANZ tech sectors. Earlier this year the UK launched the Digital Trade Network (DTN) for Asia Pacific. The network will support UK-ANZ tech collaboration and support UK tech scale-ups in the region.
The LTW application process is open to Australian and New Zealand companies only. Victorian companies need to apply via the Global Victoria application.
Applications to join the mission will close on Friday 30 July 2021.

My love and passion for photographs and photography started as a child. i think i was about 6 years old and i would love to look through old family shoes boxes filled with pictures of my family. Something about the aged look with some of the photos,the paper it was printed on and even how it was cut,the way we were dressed, i loved it even back then. I love how it captured a moment in time.I didnt know that until now when i have had my own kids. My first subject was my first born son. Capturing every moment and thing which only progressed with my next son and then my daughter. A mother of three i know the importance and love of the little things in a childs life/activities, the way they look at things.Capturing those first moments, whether its realizing your finally married and truley in love, or the anticipation for a new baby whether its the first or not, it still has the same excitement. When having that baby you start to see in even a week that they really do grow fast! I love my children with all my heart. I started my company so I could share the opportunity for others like yourself to not miss out!!

The World is Ending…Or is it? Wait –Yup, it's Ending
April 3, 2016 WooState National, TV & Movies 0
By Jennifer Johnson
What's better than aliens? Maybe a woman being kidnapped and held against her will in an underground bunker during what her kidnapper thinks is the apocalypse? Or is it all a hoax? 10 Cloverfield Lane is more than just a film or farm in Louisiana — it's a breeding ground for questions directed at a curious yet suspicious, and, most importantly, widespread audience with this new, never-before-seen genre of aliens meets girl-power meets drama meets thriller.
Michelle (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) is leaving her husband in pursuit of a better life when her car is run off the road and she wakes up chained to a wall in a windowless room. She encounters her captor Howard (John Goodman) when he delivers her food and a shady explanation — the world they once knew is now a wasteland and everything and everyone is gone, which she obviously doesn't believe since, come on…she's chained to a wall.
The movie accelerates and the audience is thrown through loop after loop. Is the world really ending? It appears so, as Emmett (John Gallagher Jr.), another bunker inhabitant, recounts what he saw before entering, and Michelle encounters a startling realization during an escape attempt. But another encounter may have the audience once again scratching their heads in suspicion, unsure what direction things will take next.
While jerking the audience through a series of thrilling events and even some gruesome ones (all to just trail off inconspicuously), director Dan Trachtenberg gives the audience their money's worth, combining a cheesy fan favorite of aliens-are-taking-over-the-world with a dramatic potential serial killer, capture thriller scenario that is just so hard not to be enthralled by for some twisted reason.
The innovative plot will keep you entertained and the ending may leave some shaking their heads, but hey, don't we all think we could've written a better ending?

WATCH your goofy GypsyNesters as we prepared for the South America!
You voted for it – and we delivered!
We live-bloggied our South American journey through Ecuador, Peru, The Galapagos Islands, Machu Picchu, Cusco and much, much more!
Click here to see our South American live-blog!
We traveled with Road Scholar, a not-for-profit organization – who provides educational travel programs for like-minded folks wanting to learn as much as they can about the areas they are visiting. Our journey had only fourteen other fellow adventurers, so we were very excited that we could participate in a program like that AND still feel like our low-to-the-ground traveling selves.
In keeping with our "One Trip Rule", we packed so we could easily carry everything at once from plane to cab to hotel to train to boat.
Veronica had a small backpack and her rolling bag that is small enough to carry on airplanes.
David had a large backpack that he checked.
As usual, we had a change of clothes, toiletries, cameras and laptops with us in our carry ons. We never pack things we we'll immediately need upon arrival in our checked luggage, in case it's lost or delayed.
Normally we don't check anything, but since we spent such a long time in South America, we opted to bring our large backpack. We also had to keep in mind that there is a 44-pound weight limit on flights from Quito, Ecuador to The Galapagos, so even though we had the extra space, we still had to watch our weight.
– Convenience. We moved from hotel to boat to hotel to train, and having a bag just for travel-sized toiletries is easy and convenient for on-the-fly packing.
– Moisture and sand. We were in some wild and wet places! Having a small cache of baggies help keep our belongings dry and clean.
– Cord management. We always have a soft cord bag with us. Inside the bag, we separate cords into plastic baggies. Camera, phone, airplane headsets, laptop and wireless accessories all have separate baggies. Keeps cords from tangling!
Note on electronics: Most laptops are dual voltage (look at the excruciatingly small print on your charger – usually on the "box" on the cord). If it can handle both 220 and 110, your laptop will become your personal power station. We use a small travel adapter (adapters don't change the voltage, a bulky TRANSFORMER would be needed to convert the power) and use our dual voltage laptop to charge our cell phone, camera, I-pod and the like via USB cords. Cool, eh?
Veronica's packing secret: Roll clothes!
By rolling clothes and setting them vertically in the suitcase, the ability to see everything packed is achieved! No more unpacking to find things!
Two-quart zip-lock plastic baggies filled with bathing suits and undergarments go in the upper compartment (once packed, sit on them to squeeze all of the air out) with shoes. Keeps stuff separated and clean. We brought extra large plastic zip bags for dirty/wet clothes.
Learn more about how we pack and our always-adhered-to "One Trip Rule"!
We experienced a huge range of climate variation on our trip, from islands on the equator to chilly nights two miles high in the Andes, so we had a few hours of discomfort at the beginning of the trip by wearing WAY too many layers. And our coats!
By wearing our bulky stuff we make more room in our luggage. Later in the trip, coats and sweaters make great extra blankets/pillows on airplanes/buses/trains and can be draped over luggage, affixed to backpacks or tied around our waists when we don't need them. We always bring a blow-up neck pillow too – nothing like a sore neck to ruin a long distance trip!
Most exciting! We're now the proud owners of underwater camera gear! We had a chance to snorkel (with turtles and penguins and sea lions!) in The Galapagos Islands.
Don't forget to watch the video above to see how we "trained" for capturing underwater moments!
Great advice, and it looks like you're geared up for an amazing trip! I love the advice on ziplock bags–I carry these around ALL THE TIME and I don't know why this advice doesn't top more travel lists. Pop in your phone, passport, etc. and it doesn't matter how bad it's raining or how much the wind is blowing!
Enjoy your trip, and thanks for this great post!
So true Katie, we don't leave home (or anywhere else) without them.
There are links to other stories there. Water shoes are important, and a hat. Pack light, bring stuff you can rinse out in the shower on the boat. The mountains can get cool at night so a sweatshirt or jacket is good.
Thanks for the speedy response. Given the weight restrictions we are trying very hard to reduce what we normally take on a trip. I assume the 44 pound limited applies to checked bags and you can still take additional carry-on bags. Were you able to get by with only one pair of good runners or did you need back-up? And how about other "essentials" like detergent – any lists to consider?
We did just fine with one pair of walking shoes, and used soap or shampoo for washing clothes. The boat supplied heavy duty clothes pins for drying outside. We brought one pair of jeans each and light weight pants for lighter packing. We believe the 44 pound limit was for checked bags. We did fine with small backpacks and a small rolling bag each. We only brought one outfit each for nice dinners.
We justed booked this trip fir Oct. Can't wait to see all your posts. Have a wonderful time.
We are truly on the same path! I love the tips in this blog post. I do the same type of thing before and after the trip. What I think will work, what did/didn't. I just returned from a month long cruise to the Mediterranean, saw wonderful things. My request from you: tell me how you work your internet connections. I struggled with the satellite available onboard. Maybe too many users on the ship? Luckily I had IE, Firefox, and Chrome on my laptop. Firefox saved the day. IE suffered miserably. Will follow to see how you are doing on the daily transmission. Enjoy!
Hey Ladee! We've also had trouble with ships and internet, so we can relate. We're in Quito, Ecuador right now and I'm happily writing to you from my hotel room. Now, things will no doubt change drastically when we go to the Galapagos Islands in a few days. Could be the worst live blog ever during that portion of the journey! 😉 We'll keep you updated.
Hi, Just returned April 6th from that same RS trip and it was fantastic!! Hope you have Franklin for your guide in the Galapagos. If so, tell him Hi from Pat from Minnesota who swam with a sea lion friend. Have fun!
We will, if he's our guide, we'll post a pic here of him waving to you!
Very exciting! Road Scholar sounds like a great prgram to travel with.
Sounds like a great idea… if we can get out of bed and breath up there. 😉 But for you…we'll try doubly hard!
I found your site through Road Scholar. I just got back from a fantastic Road Scholar adventure to China. The Galapagos/Peru trip is next on my list. I will be following your blog.
Hey Beth – great to have you along for the ride! We'll do our best to "pave the way" for you. 😉 So glad your trip was fantastic – we've heard nothing but rave reviews about Road Scholar.
Our group was also a small one – only 13 of us. My first (but not my last) Road Scholar trip. Now I have to get my husband to join me on the next one…I am looking forward to your blog. So far I note that your packing is just my style.
Have fun, guys. I expect lots of updates and photos.
Sounds like a blast, can't wait to hear about Galapagos Islands! its on the bucket list! Looks like, this the Easter Islands and a carribean tropical resort needs to be planned soon! Then there's Europe… the list is never ending..
Agreed…but the never ending list is half the fun! We'll take lots of pics for you!
So much cool alien stuff in Peru. Be sure to report.
Check out The Nazca Lines, mummified elongated skull found in the city of Andahuaylillas, the walls of the Sacsayhuaman complex, the city of Ica has a museum with alien honored artifacts and Machu Picchu's the "Main Square" where the tops of mountains have been flattened with no sign of rubble beneith. Rumored to be a landing strip for aliens.
Thanks Jan! We'll be on the lookout for weird foods for you – it'll be hard to beat the prairie oysters…BUT we've been doing some research and have already dared each other to eat something (which we won't reveal until the time comes, lest we lose our nerve!).
Have fun and travel safely. Can't wait to read the reviews.
so jealous! have always wanted to take a trip to the Galapagos – love you guys! Have a great trip!!!!
No red wine in Cuzco–that with the altitude is a guaranteed major headache. We visited Cuzco and Machu Picchu on our honeymoon in 1982. Machu Picchu might be more crowded now that there are tourist accommodations in Aguas Calientes, but I'm sure it's still magical since a lot of the tourists have to head back to Cuzco on the afternoon train. I'm looking forward to your reports and photos.
I've always wanted to go to the Galapagos Islands. Say hi to the blue footed boobies for me.
Will do! First one we see we'll say, "Hey from Linda!" Deal?
Good luck……… Have a great time……..and take care……..
Thanks Geoff – we're a bit nervous about the underwater stuff still, but hoping for the best!

Drones, News & Articles
Hydraulic drone that will have a much longer range than its electric counterpart
Reading Time:1Minute
A rival to battery-powered electric drones is the Flowcopter, which, powered by a Danfoss-developed hydraulic pump, the Digital Displacement Pump, will be able to carry its cargo over much greater distances than conventional drones, or so the vehicle's manufacturer promises. The device is expected to be capable of up to 6 hours of continuous flight/900 kilometres, which could solve one of the problems of operating drones – their relatively short range, which can make inter-city air taxiing or delivery, for example, difficult. While the stability of the hydraulic drone is not yet on a par with electric versions, Flowcopter says it is more robust, cheaper and lighter than pure electric propulsion, meaning it has greater propulsion power and "extreme efficiency" for its weight.
The Flowcopter runs on liquid fuel and its Digital Displacement pump is powered by four motors, each with 129 horsepower. The drone is initially intended for short-haul transport, but is not yet suitable for passenger transport due to its size, with a maximum payload of 150 kilograms.

(Reuters) – Critics at home and abroad on Monday denounced the re-election of Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro as a farce cementing autocracy, while the U.S. government imposed new sanctions on the crisis-stricken oil-producing country.
Maduro, the 55-year-old successor to late Hugo Chavez, hailed his win in Sunday's election as a victory against "imperialism." But his main challengers alleged irregularities and refused to recognize the result.
In response to the vote, U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order restricting Venezuela's ability to liquidate state assets and debt in the United States, the latest in a series of sanctions that seeks to choke off financing for the already cash-strapped government.
Venezuela's mainstream opposition had boycotted the election, given that two of its most popular leaders were barred, authorities had banned several political parties, and the election board is run by Maduro loyalists.
Maduro won 68% of votes – more than three times as many as his main rival Henri Falcon. Turnout was a low 46%, significantly down from 80% in 2013's presidential vote.
"The revolution is here to stay!" Maduro told cheering supporters outside the presidential palace in Caracas. He has not outlined firm policies but has promised to prioritize economic recovery after five years of crippling recession that has seen many struggle with chronic shortages of food, medicines and other basic necessities.
Maduro's dwindling but often still fervent supporters, many of whom remember the generous welfare policies of the Chavez years, want to give him another shot.

One of the North-East's best singer-songwriters, Pete Scott, is back with a fine new album. Pete first came to prominence in the Geordie folk-rock boom of the early 1970s, releasing a set of much-admired albums and touring with John Martyn, Richard Thompson, Janis Ian and Judie Tzuke as well as Tyneside compatriots Lindisfarne. I well recall him providing strong support for Martyn at Newcastle City Hall. I also have fond memories of him packing them in during the 1980's at the Glebe Folk Club at the Royalty pub in Chester Road, Sunderland.
In the 1990s, Pete concentrated on teaching and writing, and had a ground-breaking spell as Britain's first musician in residence at a prison, before returning to recording a couple of years ago with an album which put his melodies alongside the world of bygone Geordie bard Joe Wilson.
The new album comprises songs new and old, including three that used to go down very well at the Glebe - You're Only Lonely, Closing Time and Ms Lapotaire. Meanwhile, the opener, One Man Band, stems from his time at HMP Moorland, near Doncaster. There are country tunes, some light rockers, a couple of Latin-tinged numbers, all distinguished by Pete's incisive lyrics.

The Swedish DJ was found dead on Friday (April 20).
Thousand of fans paid tribute to the late DJ Avicii at Coachella this weekend.
Avicii AKA Tim Bergling was tragically found dead in Muscat, Oman on Friday (April 20) while on holiday with friends. He was just 28.
Kygo ended his set at week two of the California festival by playing Avicii's 2017 hit 'Without You', citing the late Swedish DJ as the reason he got into EDM.
"In honour of Avicii I want you to dance and sing along and let's celebrate the life of a true musical genius," Kygo announced to the emotional crowd, as a picture of Avicii appeared on the screens with the words 'Rest in Peace We Will Miss You 1989 – 2018′.
"Coachella, I think most of you guys have heard, but today is a very sad day for music," Kygo told the crowd.
"Earlier today I got the news that Avicii passed away [at] only 28 years old. Avicii was my biggest musical inspiration and he was the reason I started making electronic music so I don't think I would've been on this stage tonight if it wasn't for him.
During his set, Kygo also brought out Ariana Grande who made a surprise appearance at the festival, dropping into Kygo's set to perform her new single.
Police have confirmed they are not treating Avicii's death as suspicious, following two postmortems.
In 2016, Avicii retired from performing live. Reports at the time suggested that the star had suffered from health problems, including "acute pancreatitis, in part due to excessive drinking". He had his gallbladder and appendix removed in 2014.
His 'completely devastated' family have arrived in Oman to fly his body home.
Yesterday, an A&R executive who worked closely with Avicii throughout his career revealed the star was working on new music before his death, saying "it was his best music in years".
A Dutch church made a moving tribute to the DJ by recreating three of his hits with church bells.


State medical boards issued 3,813 sanctions against physicians in 1995, a 6.7% increase over 1994, the Federation of State Medical Boards said last week.
License revocations, restrictions and other reprimands affected 3,375 doctors in 1995, a 7.4% increase over 1994, the federation said.
In releasing the annual report on disciplinary actions, officials of the federation, which represents licensing and disciplinary boards of all 50 states, said 1995 was the fifth straight year punitive actions against physicians have increased.
"This says the system is working," said James Winn, M.D., executive vice president of the federation. "There is not an increase in the number of bad doctors. I think medical boards are doing a better job."
Arizona was the most active state in punishing physicians, issuing 17.6 punitive actions for every 1,000 licensed doctors practicing in the state. The District of Columbia was the least active, issuing less than one punitive decision for every 1,000 licensed doctors practicing in the district's boundaries.
The consumer watchdog group Public Citizen objected to the report, saying the definition of punitive actions in the report is too wide because it groups fines and other minor reprimands with major actions such as license revocations. The federation's standard for punitive actions is a "prejudicial" decision by a disciplinary panel.
Public Citizen said the federation's data show that state medical regulatory boards aren't doing enough to protect patients.
The group said it's "not unreasonable" to estimate that 1% of all doctors deserve some serious disciplinary action each year, which would mean that medical disciplinary boards would have to issue more than 6,000 punitive actions each year.
In late March, Public Citizen released its own report on "questionable" doctors who have been punished by state licensing boards or federal agencies (April 1, p. 16). Its report found that only about one-quarter of disciplinary actions against physicians result in suspension, revocation or other actions to remove licenses.

Light, vertical-grain maple cabinets are combined with bottle-green glass tile and black appliances and counters to create this sleek, contemporary kitchen.
New windows, solar tubes, under-counter lights, and recessed lighting all flood the kitchen with light.
This floor-to-ceiling hutch, with its streamlined design and reed glass doors, attractively handles the storage overflow.
Deceptively-simple, these cabinet exteriors make no hint of their interior customization.
A variety of space-saving features, such as a "blind corner" swivel pull-out and cut-away small appliance drawers, take advantage of every available square inch.
Once dark and dated, this compact galley kitchen became functional and stylish . . . all within the existing footprint. The windows were enlarged to take advantage of the lovely view of the backyard gardens, and custom cabinets were designed to provide maximum storage in the limited space.
Authentic to the era, the signature mid-century coved ceilings and soffits were preserved. Doorways were expanded to improve traffic flow and arched to match the originals. Even the 1950s doorbell was preserved and re-plated.
