Here's How Cartoons Are Coming To Terms With Inclusive Representation For Children
The year 2022 celebrated several inclusive characters appearing in cartoons widely watched by children. Characters belonging to the LGBTQ+ community, those with special needs, and a lot more representations that were earlier subtly portrayed through mainstream entertainment are now openly being celebrated.
Among the recent examples of this is Velma from the Scooby-Doo series. The bespectacled, nerdy crime-solving heroine has officially been announced as a lesbian. The announcement did not come across as much of a surprise for the fans, who had already guessed her sexual identity through the subtle cues throughout the show.
However, the revelation was considered huge as the character has been a household name and a classic pop culture since 1969.
It is also considered a win because earlier in the 2000s, James Gunn had hinted that he had initially scripted Velma's character to be explicitly gay, but the studio kept "watering it down". Today, even Google celebrates Velma coming out with a splash of confetti and pride flags spread across the search page soon after the name "Velma" is typed in.
However, amidst all this, it becomes important to look into how such positive and inclusive representations impact children and how they perceive the world around them.
TV, Internet & Endless Loop Of Media Exposure
Media exposure is something that has been equated with the "Magic Bullet" theory to represent how viewers consume media. According to this theory, the media's message is similar to a bullet fired from the "media gun" that penetrates into the viewer's head. Media's impact has long been debated and proven through similar theories and experiments, as looked up on Wikipedia.
In terms of children, the impact is a lot more as they are considered sponges that assimilate everything that is happening around them. This is also why it is considered to showcase positive and inclusive representations to children from a young age when they formulate a view of the world around them.
Cartoons, in particular, constitute a huge part of many people's childhood and have been attributed to aiding a child's brain development both positively and negatively. Some of the positive impacts include improved language acquisition, understanding of society, cognitive development, and so on. The exact opposite impact occurs when they have exposure to limited representations.
Inclusive Representation Will Continue To Matter At Any Age
Another thing about representation is that apart from building one's worldview, it also helps one create their self-image and understand the different identities around them.
For this reason, many have advocated for kids' entertainment shows to normalize characterizations with different sexual identities and capacities to help the children feel represented. In 2018, when Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse introduced a biracial teen named Miles Morales as the protagonist, many kids rejoiced over the shift from the usual series of white men portraying superheroes who save the day.
Way before spiderman too, there were multiple series and movies that represented characters from different ethnic groups, different abilities, identities, and so on. However, it was surprising for many to watch a role conventionally played by a British teen being enacted by a boy who looked like someone a lot more school-going children could relate with. All of these aspects are imperative to help children understand the diversity they live amongst.
How Cartoons Are Adapting An Inclusive Space?
A character that went by without much discussion in the earlier times was "HIM" from Powerpuff Girls. Him was among the few characters that broke past the gender binary, and even though the problematic idea of queer-coded villains was reinforced, it was among the representations that were received by children at that point in time.
It gradually paved the way for a change in perspective, and today we celebrate lesbian weddings through widely acclaimed cartoons such as We Bare Bears. These cartoons have showcased a vast spectrum of people to children and have taught them to be more empathetic and accepting. It has also reassured many kids that it is okay to be themselves and that there are many more people like them in the world.
We Bare Bears, created by Asian-American Daniel Chong, happens to be an apt example of building representation. The creator often received questions about why the bears were being treated terribly by some humans, to which he responded via a tweet "My response is it has always been obvious to me, as an Asian American, that some individuals are treated unfairly for no other reason than looking differently. And although the premise is three Bears trying to fit into human society and is a largely comic one, it is to me an allegory for what it feels like to be a minority in America".
So while the show's diversity is not on the face, it is enough to have made many wonder why such terrible treatment existed.
Sensitizing Kids On An Important Issue
A few other shows that also proudly introduced their different characters were Peppa Pig and Thomas and Friends. Peppa Pig is a popular animated show that introduces new friends in every new series. One such character that they brought along was Mandy Mouse, a star basketball player who uses a wheelchair. The move was applauded by many for its responsible representation.

In one episode, Peppa is seen kindly asking Mandy if she requires any help to go up the hill in her wheelchair. It showed how important consent was and also showed the agency and capabilities Mandy had by showing her go up the hill on her own.
This was a great opportunity for many parents to begin a conversation and sensitize kids about disabilities, and many appreciative parents lauded the move.
My little girl has a wheelchair and she spotted this character in the "Peppa goes to London" book yesterday! Great that she's going to be a regular character
— Nic (@Shendlegirl) April 3, 2019
This is amazing 😍 Thank you for being inclusive. It's so awesome to see a wheelchair user in any show, but it's definitely important for children to see disability so it becomes the norm. Also her chair looks like mine 😊
— 🍁 Kimberly 🍁 (@KimmieChan1995) April 7, 2019
Similarly, the series also introduced same-sex parents in an episode titled "Families". A pair of lesbian polar bears were brought in this episode after a petition to include a same-sex family had received nearly 24,000 signatures, as per a report by the Economic Times.
'Unique Perspective On The World'
Thomas and Friends also joined the wagon and brought their first autistic character, Bruno the Brake Car. Voiced by nine-year-old autistic actor Elliott Garcia, the autistic character is shown to be rolling in reverse at the end of the train and carries along a "unique perspective on the world".
The train loves schedules, routines, and timetables and has times when he expresses emotions of worry and excitement by "flapping his ladders". The character also wears ear defenders to protect himself from loud noise, and these are small elements that add to how a child can understand and empathize with others better.
Children's television has been pushing its boundaries to bring in a diverse set of representations onscreen, and it would hopefully soon translate into a new generation that's accepting of the differences and similarities.

IrisApfel's notable career began in interior design at the company that she founded with her husband Carl Apfel, Old World Weavers in New York City, which is an internationally acclaimed textile design and manufacturing company. The year was 1950, and Harry S. Truman was the thirty-third President of the United States, when Carl and Iris Apfel started their company Old World Weavers. More than 20 years ago the Apfels sold Old World Weavers to Stark Carpet. During Mrs. Apfel's distinguished career at Old World Weavers, she was a part of many interior design restoration projects including work at the White House under nine different U.S. Presidents: Truman, Eisenhower, Nixon, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, Reagan, and Clinton. Some of Iris Apfel's other prominent clients included Estee Lauder and Greta Garbo.

Bill: STUDENT SUCCESS PROGRAM.
Budget/Appropriations
Department of Public Instruction
Office of State Budget and Management
House Bill 934 (Public) Filed Tuesday, May 11, 2021
AN ACT TO ESTABLISH THE STUDENT SUCCESS PROGRAM.
Intro. by Hardister, Brockman, Hanig, Willis.
APPROP
Directs the State Controller to transfer $170 million in nonrecurring funds from the State Fiscal Recovery Reserve established in Section 2.1 of Senate Bill 172 (Additional COVID-19 Response and Relief) to the State Fiscal Recovery Fund established in Section 2.2 of Senate Bill 172 if it becomes law.
Appropriates $170 million in nonrecurring funds from the State Fiscal Recovery Fund to be allocated to the Department of Public Instruction (DPI) to establish the Student Success Program if Senate Bill 172 becomes law.
Includes findings. Contingent on the above appropriations, directs DPI to contract with the State Education Assistance Authority (Authority) to establish and administer the Student Success Program (Program) to allow parents to use federal funds for COVID-19 mitigation for education uses of their choice to address student learning loss, provide summer learning or enrichment, and provide comprehensive after-school programs. Directs DPI to use all of the $170 million allocated above for the Program and to encourage local public school units to participate in the Program by holding $100 million of DPI's appropriated funds in reserve so that local school units can provide a match for the federal COVID-19 mitigation funds they receive to the Authority so as to maximize awards to students.
Establishes the Program and directs the Authority to provide a one-time grant to households with an elementary or secondary school age child in the amount of $1,000 per child, not to exceed $3,000 per household, as soon as possible, but not later than August 16, 2021.
Directs the Authority to enter into written agreements with grant recipients prior to awarding a grant to ensure grant funds are only used for (i) participation in summer enrichment programs; (ii) before or after school academic or enrichment programs; (iii) tutoring services; (iv) textbooks or other instructional materials; (v) therapies for students with disabilities; (vi) educational programs or courses offered for a fee; and (vii) fees for national standardized assessments, entrance exams, and certification exams. Provides that recipients must spend grant funds by September 1, 2022, and any unspent funds must be returned.
Directs the Authority to provide a match to contributions to the Program by public school units required to fund programs addressing learning loss, summer learning and enrichment, and comprehensive after-school programs. Directs the Authority to match each dollar public school units contribute to the program using the $100 million placed in reserve above on a first come, first serve basis, up to $100 million. Provides matching funds can only be provided to students residing in the county where the public school unit is located. Provides that public school units may provide matching funds until July 1, 2021, to designate how much funding to allocate to grants for this purpose, after which the remaining reserve funds will be available to provide a grant to any recipient under the Program.
Provides that the Authority may contract with vendors for administration of the Program, including e-commerce and e-wallet providers, auditing firms, and financial institutions who can restrict the use of funds for specified purposes. Permits DPI to use up to $500,000 and the Authority to use up to $4.5 million of the funds allocated for the Program for administrative costs, including contracting with vendors.
Provides that the reporting requirement in Section 1.2 of Senate Bill 172, if it becomes law, applies to the $170 million transfer and allocation in this bill.

Carlstadt New Jersey Criminal Defense Lawyers
If asked to think about crimes that are punishable by death, many would focus on violent crimes such as murder or rape. They might even think of crimes against the State such as treason. However, very few people realize that in many countries around the world marijuana use can result in the accused receiving a death sentence. Included in the list of countries that frequently use the death sentence in connection with marijuana use are countries like Thailand, Singapore, and The People's Republic of China.
Surprising to many is the fact that even the United States law allows for the death penalty for individuals who possess in excess of 60,000 kg of drugs. This law has never been enforced, thanks in part to the rulings found in cases like Coker v. Georgia and Kennedy v. Louisiana. While the sentences for possessing marijuana in the United States are not as harsh as those that exists in some countries, the need still exists for an individual charged with marijuana possession to seek the help of Carlstadt marijuana possession lawyers.
About the City of Carlstadt, New Jersey

The Benefits of Hiring a Carlstadt, New Jersey Criminal Defense Attorney
While not as severe as some of the sentences handed out by other countries around the world, the sentences handed out in the United States in connection with cocaine possession, marijuana possession, marijuana possession with intent, making terroristic threats and driving with a suspended license are still extremely serious.

Q: about pthread_barrier_wait I'm using pthread_barrier_wait to synchronize threads, but in my program there is a possibility that one or more of the threads expire while others are waiting for them to reach pthread_barrier_wait. Now is there a way, that threads stuck at pthread_barrier_wait know that some of the threads have expired while all have reached the barrier?

A: That depends a lot on how and why they expire.
The barrier doesn't care where pthread_barrier_wait() is called on it so if it's a programmed expiration then just call wait on it at that point.  The barrier counter gets decremented and when the threads are released you can do the normal error checking and then just immediately call pthread_exit or whatever.  Putting the pthread_wait in a separate function might simplify things.
if (must_die)
{
    do_barrier_wait();
    pthread_exit(NULL);
}

If the threads are expiring because they are getting killed or canceled then life is more complicated and you are probably headed into monumental hack territory and it might be worth reconsidering the design.

Sunni Islamists strike in Pakistan: 73 reported dead at paramilitary base
Radical Sunni Islam is a death cult
Sunni Islamists have struck twice at a Pakistan paramilitary force academy and initial reports state that 73 people have been killed and many have been injured. The death total could rise further and once more radical Sunni Islamic fanatics have killed innocents in Pakistan.
In the twisted world of radical Sunni Islam where they care about the burial of Osama bin Laden, despite this mass killer gloating over thousands of people being killed on September 11 in America; you will have a deadly silence from the same Sunni Islamic zealots over this latest terrorist attack.
Sunni Islamic fanatics have murdered thousands of innocent Shia Muslims and Christians in Iraq. Yet what do these Islamic fanatics desire from all this bloodshed?
Apparently, the social agenda is not important and clearly sexual freedom and religious liberty is not an issue. On the contrary, Sunni Islamic zealots desire to enforce Islamic Sharia law on the entire nation.
This means that the ultimate goal is to enforce dhimmitude on non-Muslims, kill apostates from Islam, stone women to death for adultery, kill homosexuals, and introduce amputations for minor crimes.
In the dream world of Sunni Islamists in Pakistan they somehow believe that returning to the 7th century will mean progress. However, it was Muslims who beheaded a relative of Mohammed and it was Muslims who killed the majority of the early caliphs.
What is scary to think is that once the land of Pakistan was an area which belonged to "mother India." Therefore, you had a thriving Buddhist community, Hindu community, Sikh community, and other faiths like Zoroastrianism and Jainism will have been part of the fabric of this multi-religious society.
However, Islamic invasions of this part of India and the calamity of partition meant that this land became Islamized. Therefore, this mainly Islamic nation state remains beholden to Islamists and this stranglehold is destroying Pakistan.
Sunni Islamic radicalism is based on the hatred of the other. Therefore, they care not if they kill Buddhists, Christians, Hindus, Shia Muslims, Ahmadiyya Muslims, moderate Muslims, and so forth
This Sunni Islamic schizophrenic outlook is clearly dangerous because it desires the blood of the innocents and the only sacred duty is to reject all past non-Muslim culture and to reject all concepts of modernity
The joint terrorist attack will have witnessed Sunni Islamic ecstasy prior to murdering so many innocents and the vast majority of people killed in this Islamic terrorist attack will have been Muslim.
Despite this, the indoctrinated individuals who have joined numerous different Sunni Islamic terrorist groups will still believe that they will be rewarded in heaven.
Pakistan continues to play "the terrorist card" in Kashmir and Afghanistan. Also, the hallmarks of the terrorist attack in Mumbai led all the way back to Pakistan.
The same Sunni Islamic forces which have been unleashed in Afghanistan and Kashmir now need to know that Pakistan is serious about breaking up many Sunni Islamic terrorist organizations.
If Pakistan does not act, then the schizophrenic followers of radical Sunni Islam will eat away at the body politic of Pakistan and this will lead to "year Mohammed."
Schools must come under state control because Islamic religious schools are using their influence and network in order to threaten the central government. Islamic charities need to be checked for terrorist links and draconian laws need to be eradicated.
Turning back to the twin bomb attack in north-west Pakistan, then it is clear that the death of Osama bin Laden will not stop terrorism.
Despite information still being sketchy it appears that one attack was a suicide attack and the other was a planted bomb which was designed to kill many.
Ahmad Ali, a paramilitary policeman, stated that he could hear the Islamist shouting "allahu Akbar" before killing so many innocient.
Ahmad Ali commented that "I was sitting in a van waiting for my colleagues. We were in plain clothes and we were happy we were going to see our families."
Ahmad Ali also stated that "I heard someone shouting 'Allahu Akbar' [God is great] and then I heard a huge blast. I was hit by something in my back shoulder."
Yes, the terrorist prior to the attack was praising Allah before shedding the blood of innocents.
The blind hatred of Sunni Islamic terrorism does not have any boundaries because "the Sunni Islamic death cult" is based on murder, dhimmitude, and rule by fear.

The nations of South Korea and Pakistan have very different histories but both nations are relatively young because South Korea is the legacy of a divided Korean peninsula and Pakistan, alongside Bangladesh, have splintered from "mother India."
In both nations you have seen major religious changes since the middle of the twentieth century. These changes reflect the religious nature of both nations because Christianity grew rapidly in South Korea and in Pakistan the demise of Hinduism and Sikhism took place quickly because of systematic persecution.
However, Christianity in South Korea grew rapidly because of strong social networks, charities, institutions with an emphasis on social policies, and because Christianity was seen to be modern and democratic. Therefore, the Buddhist majority succumbed to the rapid growth of Christianity and the religious divide in South Korea is very even between both religions.
Yet, in the political sphere and welfare sector, it is clear that Christian politicians and welfare institutions have bypassed Buddhism in order to change society. Recently, it appears that conversions have evened out but the South Korea of 60 years ago is very different because around 35 per cent of the population is Christian (estimates vary).
Irrespective of your religious persuasion or if you are not religious; it must be stated that Christianization grew in tandem with democratization and modernization. Buddhism had a vast period to modernize the Korean peninsula but it failed because of several factors.
However, in Pakistan the Islamization of this nation is based on persecution, hatred, inequality in law; and instead of democratization you have a nation where minorities reside in fear. It therefore appears that women can be gang raped in tribal areas in Pakistan; Christians can be killed for blasphemy; the Ahmadiyya face systematic persecution and mass hatred; the Shia are deemed un-Muslim by Sunni Islamic zealots; and terrorist attacks are frequent alongside a major drug problem.
The destruction of Hinduism and Sikhism took place because of hatred, persecution, and bigotry. At the same time, the indigenous culture which existed prior to the Islamic invasions of "mother India" continues to be dismantled and ancient religious architecture is being either destroyed or left to rot.
Christians in South Korea do not want Christian law or to kill non-Christians under draconian blasphemy laws. Instead, the Christian community wants modernity, economic growth, and opportunities for all citizens and to create a vibrant economy based on high technology and creativity.
However, in Pakistan it is about Islam, Islamic Sharia law, and discriminating against non-Muslim minorities. It appears that the blasphemy law is more important for the Islamic leadership in Pakistan because the majority say little about honor killings and instead of supporting democracy they want Islam to be central to all institutions.
The reality of the situation in Pakistan and South Korea should be a wake-up call to the entire world. After all, Muslims in many parts of the world are demanding greater rights and when their numbers increase then some call for Islamization.
India, a nation which is multi-religious and which protected religious minorities like the Zoroastrians from Islamic persecution in Persia, was carved up by the forces of Islam alongside the duplicity of the British government.
This led to the systematic persecution of the Hindu and Sikh population under a Muslim majority. Therefore, the traces of Hindu tolerance have been replaced by Islamic fanatics who are bent on persecuting all minorities, keeping women downtrodden and hating diversity.
Not only this; radical Sunni Muslim fanatics have turned on fellow Muslims and moderate Sunni leaders who speak out also face death and persecution. Therefore, in modern day Pakistan many mosques belonging to the Ahmadiyya, the Shia and Sufi religious places are being attacked and destroyed by the fanatics of Sunni Islam.
The contrast of Christianization in South Korea alongside the Islamization of Pakistan is clearly visible. Therefore, in South Korea you have a dynamic economy and modernization continues. However, in Pakistan the Islamization of society means more hatred, more persecution and keeping women firmly in their place.
Islam, in all its reality, is clear for all to see and modern day Pakistan is a land of institutional religious discrimination and the central government is weak because of internal Islamic chaos which is turning on itself. In contrast, South Korea is growing rapidly and people have religious and democratic freedom.
Heroin is also devastating parts of Pakistan because Muslim warlords desire to control this lucrative market; typical to Islamic morals it appears that alcohol is haram but heroin is ok. Similarly, if women do not cover up then they face punishment in conservative areas like northwestern Pakistan but it is ok in law to abuse non-Muslim women or to gang-rape Muslim women in tribal areas.
Therefore, while South Korea's future looks bright it is difficult to say the same about Pakistan. After all, the only thing that appears to bind Muslim conservatives in Pakistan is hatred and this hatred is unleashed against non-Muslims and Muslim minorities like the Ahmadiyya and Shia.
Holland and France, and other nations with growing Sunni Muslim communities, should be aware; after all, elements within the Sunni Muslim community dream about a future Islamic state in both nations. Also, to the scholars of Islam the theory of democracy is alien unless they are in kitman mode in order to spread Islamic dawah by deceit.
This may seem fanciful but it probably seemed fanciful when Islamic armies invaded India. After all, India had a much richer history and Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and other faiths, had shared connections despite being diverse faiths.
Hinduism was the "tree" that allowed the branches to "blossom" and the Hindu faith was based on religious freedom.
Hinduism was fully interwoven within the psyche of India but the Hindu faith which gave the world so much science and highly valued philosophy; was crushed in many parts of "mother India" and the demise of Buddhism fell to the Islamic sword, stealth jihad, Islamic Sharia law and Islamic kitman.
The Hindu faith survived because it refused to bow down to the Islamic onslaught but after the creation of East Pakistan and West Pakistan; then the writing was on the wall because the Muslim masses turned on Hindus and Sikhs, and other minorities, and the religious balance meant that all non-Muslim faiths were in freefall.
Yet what is the 92 per cent Muslim Pakistan? Well, it is like the virtual 100 per cent Muslim Afghanistan. That is, it is backward and going more backward and alongside institutional discrimination and hatred you have powerful Islamic movements in both societies which desire to turn both nations into "year Mohammed."
In reality this means a fully fledged and barbaric Sharia Islamic state where apostates from Islam can be killed and women can be stoned to death like modern day Somalia.
In contrast, irrespective if people are unhappy with the Christianization of South Korea; you have a nation which is democratic, prosperous, and where high technology is flourishing.
Academics in lofty Oxford and Harvard can propagate the Islamic faith based on unreality; however, in the real world you have daily honor killings in Pakistan, people can be charged under the barbaric blasphemy law and Islamists desire to stone people to death like in Somalia while chanting "God is great."
South Korea is moving forward despite a difficult birth and past leadership connections with imperial Japan. However, Pakistan is moving backward and all non-Muslims and minority Muslims face the wrath of Sunni Islam.
It is time for academics to wake up and for democratic leaders in the West to stop pandering to Saudi Arabia which desires to usurp Western democracy from within.
Either you learn from history or cultures and religions become history?
Islam does not worry about sensibilities when in power and instead it is about more Islamization and the ongoing destruction of other religions and thought patterns.
South Korea and Pakistan may seem like a strange lesson; however, reality is clear for all to see and which nation is going forward and which nation is going backward?

For this St. Patrick's Day I thought I'd make a tiny Knytt Story in celebration of the holiday. It's very short, only 4 screens big, and there's no ending, either. Still, I hope you enjoy it, in this season of vaguely green-themed cheer and good will.
Healy has a habit of uploading games for us on her birthday here, but I've turned the tables on her! As far as I can tell she hasn't seen this Knytt Stories level yet, but I figured there might be other people here interested in checking it out.

Just because Apple ignores CES, the gigantic electronics show that slams Las Vegas each January, doesn't mean you should. If you're interested in the next wave of tech innovation, the annual show should definitely be on your radar.
You won't glimpse the next iPhone or the rumored Apple Car, but there's plenty of great tech breakthroughs that should get you salivating over next week's big event. Here's a rundown of all the cool stuff we expect to see at CES 2017.
Filip, A Digital Leash For Kids
By Charlie Sorrel • 2:34 am, July 23, 2013
The Filip is a smart watch for kids, complete with a built-in cellphone, a tracker so you can keep an eye on them wherever they are, and messaging so you can continue to harass and berate them even as they try to build their own sense of independence.
I kind of hate it.
Oh Man I Want An E-Ink Display On My iPad [MWC 2013]
By Charlie Sorrel • 2:34 am, February 26, 2013
BARCELONA, MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS – Here's something I wish would come to a future iPhone, or — even better — an iPad: e-ink. Imagine being able to switch to an e-ink version of the tablet and read in bright sunlight. Or turn off the various radios and enjoy a battery life measured in months, not hours.
That's what the e-ink phone can do.
Icon-Like Handset Turns iPhone Into Deskphone
By Charlie Sorrel • 8:30 am, October 2, 2012
Remember those novelty retro cellphone handsets? The ones with curly cords that attached to your handset's proprietary connector and made it look like you were making a call on a rotary telephone circa 1970? In the pub?
Well, the Swissvoice ePure is something like that, only more useful, and way, way cooler looking.
Why I Still Use A Ten-Year Old Sony Ericsson P900 [Review]
By Charlie Sorrel • 11:30 am, May 24, 2012
The P900 Isn't so much big as fat -- seen here with an iPod Touch
Take one look at my cellphone and you'll either laugh at me, pity me or envy me. It's a Sony Ericsson P900, a brick of a smartphone introduced in 2003, and I got it when my P800 was stolen from my bag in London's Soho (at that time, Orange in the UK gave you free insurance for your phones — go figure).
And after a few years of struggling with various dumbphones and the execrable Samsung Behold, I'm back to the P900 and I love it. Why? Because it was designed to be used like the iPhone, not crippled by carriers like everything else these days.
New Jersey Town May Fine You For Texting While Walking
By Charlie Sorrel • 7:30 am, May 15, 2012
iPhone app 'Email 'n Walk' lets you e-mail and walk at the same time
Do you hate those morons who wander through the streets whilst tapping text messages into their phones? Do you want to knock the stupid handset out of their hands every time you're forced to swerve or step aside to avoid them? Then you might consider moving to Fort Lee, New Jersey, where police have started fining pedestrians who they catch texting while they walk.
New Database Could Render Stolen Phones Useless

Stolen phones could soon be a thing of the past thanks to a collaboration between the U.S government and the four biggest mobile carriers. The new scheme will use a central database of stolen handsets, and the carriers will use this to block their reactivation.
The idea is that it will reduce cellphone theft by making stolen phones virtually useless.
Is That A Condom In Your Pocket Or An Android Phone [Humor]
By Cult of Android • 5:44 am, March 27, 2012
With more than 100 Android devices out in the wild and more being manufactured every day, OEM's are running out of clever names for their devices. Of course they could always use the highly technical Android Phone Name Generator to come up with the next magnificent mobile moniker, but that would be too easy. Instead, it appears manufacturers are looking to the condom industry for their tantalizing trade names.

The historical home of yearly mobile excess: Plaça d'Espanya in Barcelona
BARCELONA, MOBILE WORLD CONGRESS 2012 — When we shuffle from meeting to product demo to boozy party it's easy to forget what a weird place the yearly Mobile World Congress is. Tens of thousands of attendees flood Barcelona's hotels and commandeer its taxis, while companies from tiny to huge spend a fortune to sell and promote their wares.
As Ferris Bueller might say, if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you might miss it. Here's a quick look at the best, worst and weirdest of this year's show.

Evaluation of Renastep is a 28-day long, prospective nutritional study that will recruit 15 patients aged between 3 and 18 years of age with Chronic Kidney Disease. Participants will incorporate Renastep into their renal specific diet, during which time they will record gastrointestinal symptoms, adherence to recommended intakes and thoughts on its palatability. A Baseline CRF completed by the Investigator at the start of the trial will record demographic information, GI history and the most recent renal bio-marker results. Bio-marker results recorded as part of routine care over the course of the study will be captured in the End of Study CRF.
The study is designed to generate acceptability data that will be used to support an application to the Advisory Committee on Borderline Substances for Renastep to be reimbursable on prescription within the NHS.
Renastep is designed for use in the dietary management of kidney disease between 3 and 18 years of age. It is a high-energy liquid feed containing protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamins, minerals, trace elements and DHA. It contains low levels of potassium, phosphorus, calcium, chloride and vitamin A compared with a standard paediatric enteral feed.
Vitaflo (International) Ltd has developed Renastep following a request from the Paediatric Renal Interest Nutrition Group (PRING). They requested a low potassium and phosphate, high energy liquid feed for the dietary management of children with kidney disease that can be used as a sip feed or as a part of a modular tube feed.
There is currently no product designed specifically for use in this age group. Current dietetic practice involves either prescribing a powdered infant formula, in variable concentrations, or manipulating an adult renal sip feed to construct a modular feed, meeting the particular individual requirements of a paediatric patient with chronic kidney disease. This can be time consuming, complicated, can frequently involve preparation error leading to over or underconcentration of key nutrients, and increases the risk of microbial contamination. As Renastep is a ready to use product designed specifically for children with kidney disease, it can be expected that it will be more easily incorporated into the dietary management of the patient than the current options available. This has also been requested by the children and their families. Renastep could replace unsafe current practices that are the only option available to clinicians.
In order for Renastep to be prescribed within the NHS, it must first be subject to an application to the Advisory Committee on Borderline Substances (ACBS). The ACBS require data on the product's acceptability, in terms of gastrointestinal tolerance, palatability and participants' adherence to recommended intakes. The ACBS require such acceptability studies to be conducted in at least 15 patients for whom the product is designed. This stipulation is the reason for conducting the trial within patients aged 3 - 18 years of age with Chronic Kidney Disease.
The study will last for 28 days. Participants will self-report study data in Daily Diary forms that include 7 days of gastrointestinal data, daily records of how much of the product has been taken compared to the amount prescribed and a final evaluation of the product's palatability. The investigator will complete a Baseline CRF at the first visit to record demographic information, GI history and the most recent urea, phosphorus and potassium results. This will be supplemented by an End of Study CRF which will record urea, phosphorus and potassium results recorded during the trial period as part of usual clinical care. Information relating to gastrointestinal tolerance of Renastep over the 28-day study period will also be recorded by the Investigator in the End of Study CRF.
All study data will be anonymised and reviewed by the local investigator prior to it being forwarded to the sponsor, Vitaflo (International) Ltd.
Intervention Model Description: Open label prospective acceptability study.

Some people who have no problem communicating with prospects face to face or on the telephone run into problems when writing – whether it's in an email, a blog or part of a social media post.
The message is not clear, because the salesperson is confused.
Instead of making the message clear and brief, the salesperson tries to incorporate too much information.
Your written words will be better if you decide beforehand what you want to accomplish. The more you know about the purpose of the letter, the easier it will be to make it effective and deliver the message you want.
Understand that writing is a process and it happens in stages. You start with an idea, you begin to write, and you edit your writing. Don't be afraid to scrap what you've written and start over again.
Try to get the reader's attention in the first sentence. Work to develop a compelling opening and keep it short.
Focus on the benefits and not the features of your product or service. Prospects respond to benefits, not features.
Try to call the prospect to action by creating a sense of urgency. Give him or her a reason to act now.

British standards require that there should be sufficient room behind the pin of any towing jaw to allow a bar of 31.75mm (1.1/4") to be passed through. This ensures adequate articulation of the eyeshaft in both vertical and horizontal planes. It is also important that this gap is not too great, thus allowing the back of the eye to hit the front of the pin before the front of the eye contacts the throat of the jaw.
A jaw opening that does not comply with the standards and therefore restricts articulation upwards and downwards, is likely to bring about stress fractures on either the coupling or the trailer chassis drawbar. This may be particularly pronounced if the towing vehicle has a long overhang behind the rear wheels and, in such cases, the fitting of more robust, higher capacity equipment than the gross trailer weight might suggest, is often recommended.
The above standards also apply to the jaw on a combination jaw and towball unit. This type of product provides the flexibility of being able to tow trailers fitted with either an eye or 50mm coupling head, without having to change the fittings on the tow vehicle. Where the ballpin is separate, it is also preferable to use a unit that is fitted with a primary locking device to stop the pin/ballpin working loose or rattling unduly. A secondary device such as an "R" clip is also often used, but if this is the only means of securing the ballpin it is insufficient, due to the stresses imposed by the alternating lifting/dropping forces brought about by road conditions and/or poor load distribution.
hook has no separate pin, but a safety catch should be fitted to prevent inadvertent detachment of the eye. Where a hook has no "chin" or limiting pins on its outer face the towing eye may swing round and underneath the hook if the trailer has been reversed into a jack-knife position. In such a situation, as the towing vehicle moves forward, the eyeshaft and/or drawtube can be severely bent.

We investigated the role of high-risk human papillomavirus (hr-HPV) in patients with Barrett's dysplasia and adenocarcinoma (EAC). Clearance vs persistence of HPV (DNA, E6 or E7 mRNA, and p16INK4A protein) and overexpression or mutation of p53 were determined for 40 patients who underwent endotherapy for Barrett's dysplasia or EAC. After ablation, dysplasia or neoplasia was eradicated in 34 subjects (24 squamous, 10 intestinal metaplasia). Six patients had detectable lesions after treatment; 2 were positive for transcriptionally active hr-HPV, and 4 had overexpression of p53. Before endotherapy, 15 patients had biologically active hr-HPV, 13 cleared the infection with treatment, and dysplasia or EAC was eliminated from 12 patients. One patient who cleared HPV after ablation acquired a p53 mutation, and their cancer progressed. Of 13 patients with overexpression of p53 before treatment, 10 cleared the p53 abnormality after ablation with eradication of dysplasia or neoplasia, whereas 3 of 13 had persistent p53 mutation-associated dysplasia after endotherapy (P�=�.004). Immunohistochemical and sequence analyses of p53 produced concordant results for 36 of 40 samples (90%). Detection of dysplasia or neoplasia after treatment was associated with HPV persistence or continued p53 overexpression.
