NEW DELHI Braves Deion Sanders Jersey , Aug. 29 (Xinhua) -- India's economy growth rate hit a record high in two and a half years in the first quarter of the current fiscal year from April to June, reviving hope that it is back on good track.
The economy expanded by 5.7 percent during the first quarter to log the highest growth yet in nine quarters, official data showed Friday.
The GDP of the country grew 4.6 percent in the previous quarter from January to March Braves David Justice Jersey , and by 4.7 percent in the equivalent quarter of last fiscal.
It is also the highest since the 6 percent increase logged during October-December quarter of 2011-12, said the Central Statistics Office.

County sends free COVID-19 test kits, masks to Black churches
Pastor Samuel Casey, Executive Director of C.O.P.E., Board of Supervisors Chairman Curt Hagman, and Bishop Kelvin Simmons, President of IECAAC
The San Bernardino County Public Health Department on Friday (Dec. 17) delivered more than 1,000 over-the-counter COVID-19 testing kits and face masks to Congregations Organized for Prophetic Engagement (C.O.P.E.), a nonprofit faith-based organization of Black churches in the county.
"Our County is among the first in California to provide these over-the-counter tests to our nonprofits," said San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors Chairman Curt Hagman. "We are leading the way on COVID-19 response by working with trusted community organizations to provide tests kits and masks to keep our communities safe and healthy."
Since the beginning of the pandemic, the County has worked in partnership with C.O.P.E. to get people tested and vaccinated, Hagman said.
C.O.P.E.'s mission is to train and develop the capacity of religious and lay leaders in congregations across the Inland Empire to protect and revitalize the communities in which they live, work, and worship.
"On behalf of Congregations Organized for Prophetic Engagement (C.O.P.E.), and Inland Empire Concerned African American Churches (IECAAC), we want to thank Supervisor Curt Hagman, as well as the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health for always being great partners," said C.O.P.E. Executive Director Pastor Samuel Casey. "This is another layer of great partnership in stemming the tide of the pandemic as we see a rise in COVID cases. These take-home kits are a great resource for the community, especially for those who distrust the testing and vaccination process. This partnership is a positive and powerful way to end 2021."
Friday's delivery of testing kits and masks to C.O.P.E. was the first group of free supplies that will go out to eligible nonprofit organizations. Non-profit organizations can request an allocation of COVID-19 tests by submitting a request form here. Test kits will be available for distribution starting the week of Dec. 20.
Rapid antigen tests provide results in as little as 10 minutes. Individuals 14 or older can perform the test directly. Adults can help perform the test for children aged 2 or older. The test can be used for individuals with or without symptoms. People who get a positive test result, should self-isolate at home and avoid contact with others and follow care instructions from their healthcare provider.
"Testing continues to be a priority in San Bernardino County and providing COVID testing resources to our non-profit organizations is another way we can mitigate COVID-19 transmission in our community," said Public Health Director Josh Dugas. "As we enter the holiday season, we want to ensure that travelers have access to fast, reliable, and easy-to-use COVID testing and be able to provide documentation of their results."
To learn more about the On/Go rapid antigen kit, call the COVID-19 hotline at: 909-387-3911.

Why are the free home tests not available to all people in the County?
Hi Ron at this time, the free tests are available to eligible nonprofit organizations. If you are eligible, please call the COVID-19 hotline at (909) 387-3911 or apply here: https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/b316abcb5d604c11aae7f807de648a6f
Home test kits should be available to first responders so they can get back to work quicker than having to go to test sites and wait for their results. The faster they can get their results, the faster they can get back to saving lives.
Karen FREITAG says:
Can you contact me? I would like to get free kits for our church congregation. We are located in Chicago Illinois.
Hello Karen, the testing kits are for San Bernardino County organizations.

This vehicle was initially chosen due to its quick depreciation of value. I bought this 2012 SRX in 2015 and only paid ~40% of it original MSRP. We initially were attracted to this vehicle because we needed more space than our previous sedans provided for longer road trips with our two dogs. The SRX provides as good amount of cargo space with the rear seats folding down. You can also utilize the roof cargo rails and install a trailer hitch (which we have done) for added cargo space. The other main reason for choosing the SRX was due to its comfort level. At 6'5", I can continuously drive this vehicle for 5+ continuous hours without feeling discomfort. The SRX is the vehicle of choice for about 90% of my families driving for these reasons. The only real dislikes that I have regarding this vehicle is that the rear seat is pretty standard in regards to comfort. Additionally, the overhead space is sub optimal. Anyone over 6 feet tall would not feel comfortable for extended periods of time. However, these seats would be perfect for families with small children or infants.
This vehicle was bought in 2015 when my wife and I relocated to Georgia from California in order to pursue a new career opportunity for me in the pharmaceutical industry. Once we moved into our new home (and gained a lot more backyard space), we adopted a second dog. Since we are used to traveling with our first dog, we found that traveling long distances with both dogs as well as all of the luggage that we tote around was not very feasible and comfortable in our previous sedan. We purchased our Cadillac SRX shortly after our first road trip with both dogs and quickly planned our next trip. This trip would be to Savannah, Georgia and happened to be with my mother and father on their first visit to us from California. We easily made the slightly over three-hour trip to Savannah with everyone commenting on how comfortable they were on the trip. What makes this memory with my vehicle memorable was the fact that this was the first time that I had seen my parents since we had moved away from our friends and family the previous year. The weekend proved to be quite memorable and would not have been possible in our previous car.
As previously stated, the top benefits of this vehicle for me is the cargo storage volume as well as the comfort level for driver and passenger. In addition to those aspects, I would say that other benefits include the ability to pair and play audio from cell phones and other personal electronic devices. The rear seats lay down nearly flat creating a bed like space similar in space to a small pickup. I also enjoy being able to utilize the programmable controllers for my home garage door, personalize mirrors and seat positioning based on key fob identification, and the panoramic sunroof. Another benefit of Cadillac is that they design the vehicle in a manner that is conducive to convenient basic maintenance. Changing oil, brake pads, etc. is very straight forward and access to required parts is easy. The drive is relatively smooth, and the engine has enough power to efficiently climb steep hills and conquer semi-rough terrain. Lastly, the gas mileage for this vehicle is very reasonable for a V6 at a consistent 21-23 mpg depending on highway/surface street habits.
The main con that I have previously detailed about the Cadillac SRX was the comfort level of the rear seat cushions and overhead space. The back seats are too vertical and do not provide a comfortable seat for extended drives of two or more hours. In addition, anyone taller than around six foot would practically be in contact with the roof. From a reliability standpoint, the only mechanical issue that I have experience, thus far through 78,000 miles, is the driver side wheel bearing. At around 68,000 miles, the car developed an audible whirl, similar to a helicopter that coincided with acceleration and deceleration. It got to the point where the noise was unbearable to continue driving, so the vehicle was taken to a local mechanic. The total cost of the repair was around $180 for the one bearing. While at the mechanic, it was discovered that the passenger front wheel bearing is also showing signs of excessive wear and tear and will need to be monitored, although the noise has not gotten noticeably worse in the last 10,000 miles.
2014 Cadillac SRX - Comfort & style.
The SRX is comfortable to ride in, especially on longer trips. The seats have several adjustments that you can customize to yourself. It has ample room, but is not an extremely large vehicle. It does will in inclement weather. It adapts to road conditions well. The windshield wipers automatically adjust to the conditions well also. There is ample cargo room and storage in the SRX. You are able to pack a cooler and still have room to pack your things. Passengers in the rear seats do not feel confined, as there is plenty of room. Driving the SRX in the city can be a little difficult due to the size of the vehicle, however the back up camera and blind spot detectors are almost necessary features on a car today. The backup camera can become foggy or icy though, which can be an issue. These features make the vehicle easier to drive, especially in lots of traffic. The maintenance on the SRX can be a little daunting, due to the complex system of the vehicle. The oil life alert is a great feature. Also, the alert to let you know when the tire pressure is low is great. It has saved me a couple times when I had issues with my tires, before I started down the road.
The best trip my family had in the SRX was when we went to Ocean Shores. The vehicle handled great on the beach and we had a great time.
The moon roof/sun roof is great when the weather is nice. The heated seats and steering wheel are added bonuses when it is cold. The defrosters (rear and front) are the best I've seen when your windshield is icy. The SRX does not take long to heat up or cool down, which is a great feature when the weather is extreme. The rear seats can fold down and have a pass through feature, which makes is easier to haul some things. The rear seats have amble room, even for adults. The leather seats are classy and you can clean them easily, especially if you have children. It is easy to clean in between the front seats, due to the room in between them. The adjustable arm rest feature makes it more comfortable to travel in the SRX. The overall ride in the SRX is smooth and comfortable. The tire pressure alert has alerted me a couple times, which has saved me from being stranded on the road with a flat tire. It is invaluable. The feature that turns off the airbag in the passenger seat is great for safety, especially if you have older kids sitting in the front passenger seat.
The maintenance on the car needs to be done by professionals, due to the complex system in the vehicle. This can be difficult for some. The SRX requires more maintenance than my previous vehicle, which can cost more. The system alerts the vehicle provides are great, however some of them can be a distraction when you are driving. As the driver, it is hard not to depend on the blind spot detector and back up camera too much. The SRX can be too large in some instances, especially in city driving. In the city, the parking spots and streets are narrow. It can make driving the SRX impossible in some locations, which can be an issue if you don't know the area and what to expect. Turning the vehicle around can be a bit of a challenge due to it's size. In my city, U-turns are allowed at some lights, due to medians, however it can be difficult in the SRX. The gas mileage in the SRX is horrible, at only 16 mpg for a crossover! Overall, the SRX is costly to maintain and drive and it is extremely difficult to drive in the city. It is a costly vehicle to maintain and drive daily.
I love my Cadillac SRX. We were very particular on a few items we had to have on our car, and this had everything on our wish list. The vehicle is very comfortable, and allows us to adjust the seat automatically for each driver. The heated seats are very important for the cold winters, and the heated steering wheel heats quickly to allow for a gloves-free drive. The console is easy to navigate, and the options are vast. I love the ability to see how much life is left before the next oil change, and the tire pressure levels are very helpful in our variable temperature climate. The navigation system is fabulous. I purchased the XM radio subscription (we were given a 1 yr trial for free, which was nice). We added the traffic feature, and it works wonderfully with the large navigation screen. Many friends have commented on the nice large screen. Easy to see and maneuver. Along with the navigation, the screen is utilized for the backup camera. This is one of the best features, as it is really easy to see everything when I back up, and allows viewing around corners when the wheel is turned. This helps see cars coming down the street or from behind obstructed views. The car rides smoothly and there is plenty of room for the kids for long trips.
There was a large accident on a major freeway. Navigation notified me 3-5 miles ahead, and provided an option to select an alternate route. This saved us much needed time and we were able to get to our destination with little delay.
Navigation system is superior. Seats are spacious and comfortable. The vehicle gets up to speed quickly and has a great feature that allows for fuel savings on freeway driving.
Would love to have a third row and keep the vehicle in the mid size range. I would also appreciate heated seats in back row, for guests and kids.

7th March 2010 · Articles & Interviews by: Vikas Shah MBE
In this interview, we speak to Sir Richard Feachem, who is Professor of Global Health at both the University of California, San Francisco, and the University of California, Berkeley, and Director of the Global Health Group. Sir Feachem was also the founding Executive Director of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, which has saved over 4.9 million lives globally. We discuss the key issues facing health in the developed and developing world, strategies to eradicate some of the most prevalent conditions, and the future of global health.
"That human persons are flourishing" said Thomas Pogge (in his 2002 book, 'World Poverty and Human Rights') "…means that their lives are good or worthwhile, in the broadest sense. Thus, the concept of human flourishing, as I understand it, marks the most comprehensive 'all in' assessment of the quality of human lives. It is broader than many other concepts including pleasure, wellbeing, welfare, affluence and virtue."
What Mr. Pogge realised was that for humanity to flourish (in both a philosophical and physical context) presupposes at least elementary levels of stability in diverse areas such economics (at a basic level, the ability to participate within an economy), politics and law (a framework which supports rather than suppresses, provides at least the basic levels of protection and freedoms), environment (the ability to subsist agriculturally, find water, shelter, safety from threats, and not fall victim to environmental conditions) and community (the existence of, and ability to interact with, other humans). Once these 'elementary criteria' (often referred to as basic human rights) are fulfilled, human beings can begin to flourish in other senses; intellectually, artistically, technologically, and so forth.
At the core of all these factors of human success is the core presupposition not discussed above, which is that humans are healthy, and able to participate in society. Many of the greatest commentators on life have realised this. "It is health," said Mahatma Gandhi, "that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver." A view supported by such statesmen as Benjamin Disraeli who said, "The health of the people is really the foundation upon which all their happiness and all their powers as a state depend" and even philosophical commentators such as Samuel Johnson, who stated, "To preserve health is a moral and religious duty, for health is the basis of all social virtues. We can no longer be useful when we are not well."
Humanity has also experienced a profound period of growth, in number (population), capability (technology) and mobility against a backdrop of economic 'development'. These changes have exacerbated the spread of diseases (as humans are more mobile, and have greater variety of interactions), and created other health challenges (as health issues are compounded by poverty, or somewhat paradoxically created by wealth).
In this exclusive interview, we speak to Sir Richard Feachem, and discuss the key issues facing health in the developed and developing world, strategies to eradicate some of the most prevalent conditions, and the future of global health.
"Sir Richard Feachem is Professor of Global Health at both the University of California, San Francisco and the University of California, Berkeley, and Director of the Global Health Group at UCSF Global Health Sciences. He is also a Visiting Professor at London University and an Honorary Professor at the University of Queensland.
From 2002 to 2007, Sir Richard served as founding Executive Director of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and Under Secretary General of the United Nations. During this time, the Global Fund grew from scratch to become the world's largest health financing institution for developing countries, with assets of US $11 billion, supporting 450 programmes in 136 countries. Previously, Sri Richard was Director for Health, Nutrition and Population at the World Bank (1995-1999) and Dean of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (1989-1995). Professor Feachem holds a Doctor of Science degree in Medicine from the University of London, and a PhD in Environmental Health from the University of New South Wales. In 2007 he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate in Engineering by the University of Birmingham. He is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering and an Honorary Fellow of the Faculty of Public Health Medicine of the Royal College of Physicians and of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. In 2002 he was elected to membership of the Institute of Medicine of the US National Academy of Sciences. Sir Richard was knighted by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 2007."
Q: Looking at the core conditions of HIV/AIDS, Malaria and Tuberculosis. What are the economic, political and social challenges contributing to the continued growth and spread of these conditions? And what are the measures which are in-progress, and needed to move towards eradicating or managing these conditions?
[Sir Richard Feachem] HIV/AIDS, TB and malaria are among the largest health challenges faced by low and middle income countries today. In addition, these three major killers form the focus of the Global Fund to Fight AIDs, Tuberculosis and Malaria. At this point the similarities end. It is necessary to discuss these pandemics individually, because their specifics are very different.
HIV/AIDS is the greatest pandemic in human history. It is chronic pandemic, in the sense that its rise and fall is measured in decades. The known part of this pandemic is now three decades old, and it has several decades still to run. We have been remarkably successful in rolling out anti-retroviral therapy to those who need it, and therefore prolonging the life of millions of individuals in the developing world, who would otherwise die. We have been much less successful in prevention or in gaining a full understanding of the dynamics of transmission and the reasons for the large differences in infection rates among different populations.
The key challenges for the next decade are twofold. First, continuing to increase the level of international and domestic investment, both in antiretroviral therapy and in more successful and better designed programs of prevention. The second priority lies in designing and implementing effective prevention programs. We are not good at doing this today and we do not fully understand how to increase our effectiveness. The discovery of an effective HIV vaccine is the nirvana for all our efforts to prevent AIDS.
Turning to tuberculosis, there are two key dimensions. First, it is the handmaiden of HIV. As HIV worsens, so does TB. TB is the most common cause of death of HIV positive people in the developing world. Second, because we have so vigorously rolled out tuberculosis treatment programs, in some countries with great success, we have fuelled a rising pandemic of multiply drug-resistant (MDR) TB and extremely drug-resistant (XDR) TB. These forms of TB are steadily growing and will continue to do so. We are scientifically naked in front of this threat. We do not have the diagnostics to quickly detect an MDR or XDR case. Once detected, we do not have the drugs to effectively treat the patient at reasonable cost, and we do not have a TB vaccine. This is an area where major investments in basic science and laboratory research are urgently needed in order to bring us a new generation of improved tools and technologies for confronting this rather scary threat.
For malaria, the news is extremely good. Roughly 100 countries in the world have already eliminated malaria (most of them since the Second World War). Of the 100 countries in the world that still have endemic malaria, 39 are in the process of eliminating while the remaining 61 are making steady progress with their control programs. Numerous countries, even in the tropical heartland of malaria, have halved their morbidity and mortality rates since the beginning of this century. Challenges ahead of us are to maintain and, if possible, to increase successful investments in this field. In addition, we have to be ever vigilant about emerging resistance in the parasite populations to the drugs and emerging resistance in the mosquito populations to the insecticides. We can never prevent this resistance; we can only postpone it. Eventually, we will need new drugs and new insecticides.
Q: Looking at life expectancy, can you discuss the differences in life expectancy based on where one is born? How can be prevented?
[Sir Richard Feachem] The world experiences, on a daily basis, a zip-code lottery (or postcode lottery) with regard to the expectancy of life and the expectancy of health. Roughly speaking, a child born today in a very poor country can expect to live about 40 years, while a child born today in a wealthy country could expect to live about 80 years. These numbers come from national averages, and if you contrast life expectancy between a child born in the poorest communities in the poorest countries with a child born in the wealthiest communities in the wealthiest countries, the gap between the fortunate and the less fortunate is even wider. The reasons for these differences are well-known and, in most cases, the solutions are also well-known and have been effectively used in many places. The well-managed and large-scale implementation of known interventions would greatly close the life expectancy gap between the wealthy and the poor. The challenge is to finance this work and to deliver it effectively. Even with today's resources, strengthening the management and delivery of programs can still have great impact.
Q: What are the key challenges facing the developed and developing world with regards human nutrition?
[Sir Richard Feachem] We are in the midst of a pandemic of eating too much (the overweight and obesity pandemic) and a pandemic of not having enough to eat (the under nutrition and hunger pandemic). Roughly 1.6 billion people in the world are affected by the first pandemic and roughly 1 billion people in the world today are affected by the second pandemic. Both numbers are rising rapidly. Curiously, 52% of the world's population resides within countries where these pandemics co-exist on a significant scale. The solutions to the two pandemics are very different. The pandemic of hunger is related to poverty, the equitable distribution of food, and rising food prices. The epidemic of obesity is related sedentary lifestyles and the skill of the food industry in producing unique combinations of fat, sugar and salt, which override our appetite mechanisms and cause us to consume far too many calories. A single super large combo meal at any popular hamburger outlet will contain a full day's worth of calorie intake. When one sees such meals being purchased and eaten, one wonders whether the individual concerned is going to consume only water for the next 24 hours. Unlikely!
Q: What impact are global topics such as conflict, climate change, the global economic slowdown and mobility playing in global health?
[Sir Richard Feachem] The global economic slowdown has huge implications for global health. Global health benefited from a rising tide of investments in recent years, which has now abruptly come to an end. The major global health investors, such as the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria, find that their income is plateauing and may even start to decline. This provides a fundamental challenge to their business model and their ability to support the high quality applications that they continue to receive in large numbers. Significant reengineering is required in the face of this reality, combined with a major movement towards smart investment and not just more investment.
Conflict is and always has been a huge enemy of global health. Diseases surge forward in times of conflict and painstakingly developed public health programs can be destroyed in weeks. In addition, conflicts create refugees and migrants, who typically experience worsening health and epidemics linked to the squalor of their temporary living conditions.
The global warming and global health relationship is more nuanced and subtle. There may be gains and there may be loses through gradual increases in temperature and shifting patterns of rainfall. What is clear is that extreme climatic events, which appear to accompany global warming, are greatly hazardous to health and typically produce acute setbacks and epidemics together with longer term undermining of carefully designed and implemented public health programs.
Q: What role does philanthropy play in providing solutions to health challenges globally and organisations such as The Global Fund? Can you explain the need and premise behind health-systems initiatives (PPiP)?
[Sir Richard Feachem] In recent years, philanthropy has played important and influential role in global health. This has been led by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation which has significantly changed the global health landscape. Global health is now a field in which, rather than having a monopoly of ideas and initiatives coming primarily from the WHO, we have a competitive plurality of initiatives and investments coming from a variety of public and private organizations. Provided there is not duplication and wastage of effort, this competitive plurality is a good thing and has greatly stimulated the intellectual and investment landscape in global health.
New mechanisms for financing global health, especially the Global Fund, have shown that the modalities used since the end of Second World War can be greatly improved upon. The Global Fund has embraced a number of radical innovations which have set new standards in the business of aid. The leading innovations implemented by the Global Fund have been:
1. To let the demand side rule and to separate the business of finance from the business of designing and implementing programs;
2. Disbursement on the basis of independently validated performance;
3. Financing both public and private actors on the basis of the quality of ideas and the success of implementation of those ideas; and,
4. Extreme web-based transparency to allow citizens in both donor and recipient countries to track every detail of every grant.
Another major arena of active debate concerns the role of private actors (in Europe, referred to as NSAs; non-state actors) in health systems strengthening. Most developing countries start from a position where half or more of all health care delivery is done by disorganized and unregulated private providers and is paid for out-of-pocket. A major movement is underway to conscript private investment, skill, and energy into the achievement of public policy goals, by forming long-term public-private partnerships between government and the private sector. Much of the innovation in this area is coming from the developing countries themselves rather than from debating rooms in Geneva, London or Washington. This local innovation provides the beginnings of a way out of decades of health systems neglect and the lack of access to high quality services experienced by most people in low and lower-middle income countries.
Q: How are investment markets playing a role in these challenges?
[Sir Richard Feachem] Innovation in the financial market place is playing an increasing role in global health. We already have bond issues to support global vaccination programs, and advance market commitments to promote research and development investments in new drugs and vaccines targeted at priority diseases of the developing world. Big pharma companies are working on patent pools. Organizations such as the Clinton Health Access Initiative are negotiating highly favourable prices for large volume supply of HIV and malaria products for the developing world. And so on and so on. This will continue.
Q: What are the key technological developments which will impact global health?
[Sir Richard Feachem] This falls into two domains. Biomedicine and biotechnology on the one hand, and everything else on the other. The rapid progress in molecular biology and biochemistry will continue to accelerate the pace at which new drugs, diagnostics and vaccines targeted at major health problems in the developing world will become available. The challenge then is to make these new products quickly accessible to poor people in remote parts of poor countries. We are getting better at doing that, but we still have a long way to go.
The other domain of technical innovation will be, simply put, everything else. Prominent in the everything-else space will be information technology of many kinds. Already cell phone technology is being used for surveillance, data reporting, remote diagnosis, tracking the movements of people who might carry malaria across borders, and much more. Satellite based mapping technology is also rapidly improving our ability to track health and disease spatially, down to the level of the individual house. This kind of intelligence can be extremely helpful in the fight against infectious diseases and in responding effectively to outbreaks and pandemics.
Q: Is enough attention also being directed towards the development of treatments for orphan diseases?
[Sir Richard Feachem] There are two kinds of orphan diseases. First are the very rare diseases of wealthy people in wealthy countries. For this category, there is explicit legislation providing substantial incentives for research and product development. These incentive structures have worked very well in North America, Europe, and Japan, for example. The other kind of orphan diseases are the common diseases of poor people in poor countries, which are not also experienced by rich people in rich countries. For these diseases, there is also a profitability risk for anyone contemplating a research and development investment. We have seen much less ingenuity in designing incentive structures for this second group of orphan diseases. For HIV/AIDS, this has not mattered because it is a disease both of poor people in poor countries and of wealthy people in wealthy countries. Profitability is ensured by the second category of patients and new products, appropriately priced, can also benefit the first category. This is not true of the so-called neglected tropical diseases or conditions such as malaria. We need to improve incentive structures for this category. The rise of a research-base pharmaceutical industry in countries like Brazil, China, India and South Africa will not make this problem go away. These companies will be subject to the same incentive structures as their competitors in North America and Europe and their boards will equally favour research and development directed towards chronic disease of wealthy people (or well-insured people) in rich countries. Because a new drug is developed and manufactured in India does not mean that it is more likely to address the needs of the 700 million poor Indians rather than the 300 million middle-class Indians. Again, much more ingenuity around incentive structures is required to unleash the full potential of the pharma and biotechnology industries to tackle the biggest of global health problems.
Q: What does our experience with the first year of the H1N1 pandemic tell us about challenges and opportunities in global health?
[Sir Richard Feachem] It tells us a great deal. H1N1 (swine flu) has let us off the hook by being such a mild virus with such a low case fatality rate. H1N1 does have one of the two properties we fear; namely it is very easily transmitted from one human to another. H1N1 spread to 120 countries in the first 10 weeks after the index case in Mexico, and this wasn't due to flying pigs! This was people getting on airplanes. Fortunately (to put it mildly), H1N1 does not have the second property which we fear, namely high virulence and a high tendency to make infected people severely ill or to kill them. By contrast, H5N1 (bird flu) does have this second property but lacks the first property. When a virus begins to spread which has both of these properties, humankind is in big trouble.
H1N1 has shown us that we lack the ability to identify new pandemic strains quickly or to contain them. Global spread is therefore assured. The challenges are: how to collaborate?, how to cope?, and how to respond globally once the cat is out of the bag?
How did we do? In national terms, some countries did quite well. In global terms, we failed miserably. The 30 OECD member countries pre-bought pretty much the total drug and vaccine production capacity of the small numbers of companies in Europe and North America that make the drugs and the vaccines. The only exception is China, which created its own H1N1 vaccine manufacturing capacity and bought it for its own people. The remaining 170 non-OECD countries were left out in the cold. They made no vaccine and there was little vaccine to be bought, even if they could afford it. Dr. Margaret Chan at WHO worked hard to persuade the wealthy countries to donate 10% of their pre-purchased vaccines to the low- and middle-income countries. This was better than nothing, but a token contribution. 10% of the population of the 30 most wealthy countries is roughly 2% of the population of all other countries. Even if all of this 10% contribution had been made and effectively distributed to where it is most needed, its contribution to attenuating the pandemic would have been minor at best.
Ironically, history then overtook us and we found that the mildness of the pandemic, and the fact that, in the United States and elsewhere, the major vaccine supplies arrived after the peak of the pandemic, meant that demand for the vaccine collapsed and many wealthy countries have been left holding large amounts of vaccine that they cannot use for their people at home. A scramble is therefore underway to give or sell this vaccine to other countries that may have need for it.
If there were a Government of the World, one of its first duties would be to create a CDC for the world (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). A sensible leadership at CDC would work to optimize the rapid production of vaccine in the face of a flu pandemic and to allocate that vaccine in a way that would cause maximum attenuation of the global spread and impact of the pandemic. Such an allocation of available vaccine would look nothing like what we have seen through this winter in the northern hemisphere.
What H1N1 has shown us is that, despite the heroic efforts of WHO, the world is very far from the point of international collaboration that can allow globally optimal responses to global threats. In other words, we have a failure to address a prominent global public good, or put the other way, to redress a prominent global public bad, namely a potentially devastating pandemic. When the current northern winter is behind us, we should gather internationally to debate and discuss this experience and struggle to create new and better systems. A highly virulent and easily transmissible flu virus will emerge. We just do not know where and when.
It is also important at this stage to address the issue of whether healthcare is a basic human right, and whether it is the responsibility of governments to provide universal healthcare for their citizens. Interviewed in October 2009, Professor John Harris (Lord Alliance Professor of Bioethics at the University of Manchester) stated, "I think access to healthcare is very important. I tend not to use the language of rights if I can avoid it, except to add rhetorical force to what I say. The better way to look at it is not as a human right because you then have the problem that if a particular society doesn't have the resources to deliver healthcare, are they denying human rights to their people? Well, not if they can't generate the resources. For some African countries, for example, the available money for healthcare per capita, is something like ten dollars and you can't deliver a comprehensive healthcare system on that sort of funding. What is an entitlement, and what is very important is firstly that we should care for other people if we can (including care for their health). This is one of our basic moral duties, partly the duty of beneficence (the duty to do good and not harm), and partly the rule of rescue (that if someone is in need of healthcare, they are in need of rescue) and a good person will try to rescue someone if he or she can. So rather than think of it in terms of rights, we have very strong moral reasons to provide healthcare to the best standard we can. That standard will vary from society to society."
To put this in a macro-context, a report by the World Health organisation (The World Health Report 2008 – primary Health Care -Now More Than Ever) states, "Globalization is putting the social cohesion of many countries under stress, and health systems, as key constituents of the architecture of contemporary societies, are clearly not performing as well as they could and as they should … People are increasingly impatient with the inability of health services to deliver levels of national coverage that meet stated demands and changing needs, and with their failure to provide services in way that correspond to their expectations. Few would disagree that health systems need to respond better – faster – to the challenges of a changing world."
The identification of 'globalisation' as a driver by the WHO is important. Societies, in general, wish to be fair and decent. The advent of global free-market capitalism has created a great deal of perceived liberty in the industrialised countries who have most benefited from it, but this capitalism has brought costs, including (as A.C. Grayling identifies), "…environmental damage, crippling third world debt, untenable disparities between rich and poor, and the destructive effect upon communities of turning people into commodities and social relations into market transactions." Grayling also identifies humbling facts including, "…Mexico's richest man has more money than the poorest seventeen million of his countrymen put together, and the annual debt repayments of many poor countries far exceed what they can spend on health and education."
Capitalism has, though, given us huge innovation across all fields of human experience from transportation, to medicine, communication, and more. Alongside these innovations has come our ability to interact as a society, understanding the plights of those in need in our communities, and elsewhere in the world. While defenders of free-markets assert that markets themselves will remedy their inequities in time, the fact remains that while greed and human nature play a part in economics, intervention is necessary by us, as participants in society, to remedy the disparities and plights which exist.
For global policy makers, this presents immediate and necessary challenges to their incumbent policies. To take paradigm from Thomas Pogge, "One's human right to adequate nutrition, say, should count as fulfilled when one has secure access to adequate nutrition, even when such access is not legally guaranteed. Legal rights can be, and often are, an effective means for realising human rights, but such legal rights need not, however, have the same content as the human right they help realise. Depending on the context, the best way of realising a human right to minimally adequate nutrition may not be legal rights to food when needed, but rather some other legal mechanisms that keep land ownership widely dispersed, ban usury or speculative hoarding of basic staples, or provide childcare, education, retraining subsidies, unemployment benefits, start-up loans. And non-legal practices – such as a culture of solidarity among friends, relatives, neighbours, compatriots – may also play an important role."
To contextualise these thoughts for global-health, we can see that the challenges faced will not simply be remedied by the creation of drugs, or techniques for managing conditions. A wider approach is necessary, creating policies which focus on health issues in all facets of human experience, from education about health issues (not solely for children, but even adults), through to political and economic frameworks for the delivery of care, and strategic involvement from commercial and sovereign partners to fund these great challenges.
The importance of health cannot be understated. Whatever measure we use, whether it be political, economic or otherwise, we come down to the fact that society is made of participants who need health to flourish, and regardless of our race, colour, background or nationality, we share the same DNA, meaning that health becomes the core of our collective experience, and part of our collective responsibility to remain acutely aware of.
As A.C. Grayling allows me to conclude, "Health is not an end to itself; it is the principal instrument for the enjoyment of life".

Oahu is an island of striking volcanic beauty and rich traditions, luring travelers from around the world throughout its history. Its culture reflects the fusion of East and West, from the architecture of the Iolani Palace to the metropolitan cityscape of Honolulu.
Ko Olina was part of the ahupua'a of Honouliuli in the moku of 'Ewa on the island of Oahu. The shoreline of this ahupua'a stretched for twelve miles along the sunniest side of Oahu from the waters of Pearl Harbor to the summit of the Waianae mountains and west to Nanakuli.
Ko Olina is located about 17 miles from the Honolulu Airport and less than an hour from downtown Honolulu.
Famous for its mild tropical climate, Oahu has two seasons – winter (November to March) and summer (April to October). Winter temperatures average 76 to 79 degrees during the day and drop 10-15 degrees at night. Summer temperatures range from 78 to mid 80 degrees and will be slightly cooler in the evening. The ocean water temperatures in winter are about 74 degrees and 81 degrees during the summer. Rainfall is more common during the winter months and averages 2 to 4 inches a month.
Drive on H-1 West until it ends and turns into HI-93 West.
After approximately ¼ mile (0.4 km), Four Seasons is on your left.


In via email, what does everyone think about Tulane? I applied simply because I'd heard so many good things on here. Tell me about it.
Also in today via e-mail. Im pretty pumped about Tulane! Was really suprised to hear from them today though. Was today the first wave of acceptances?
i'm still at application received. when did you guys submit? tulane is in my hometown. good school. great reputation 'round these parts.
I submitted 10/27 and got my last LOR in right before Turkey Day.
i applied very early so i wouldn't be surprised if this is the first wave.
Did everyones e-mail say acceptance packet should arrive shortly [b]along with your scholarship information[b]? Does this mean I will def. get at least some scholly money?
Did everyone's status checker switch to Under Review before they got the email? I've been complete for 3 weeks but nothing else has changed.
anniesaysrelax wrote: Did everyone's status checker switch to Under Review before they got the email? I've been complete for 3 weeks but nothing else has changed.
I've been wondering the same thing. Mine has been complete for over a month now.
In via email as well. Congrats everyone!
In at Tulane via status checker/e-mail.
I also got the line about scholarship info will be enclosed, so here's hoping!
My status checker never changed to under review, it went straight to decision made.
Congrats to everyone who got in today!

My e-mail did not include this line...bummer for me...but a good sign for you! Registered for an upcoming LSAT though, hoping to improve score and improve sholarship opportunities.
Congrats to all. I went complete two weeks ago so nothing for me yet, but am anxiously awaiting to hear. I can't seem to talk myself out of Tulane. Maybe I'm just drinking the Kool-Aid, but it seems to be a collegial atmosphere and relatively lower stress 3 years of law school.
My only first hand experience with the school is through a law day at my UG. Their rep was personable and energetic, with a genuine love for the school and desire to answer a prospective's questions. Seemed to be in line with what I've heard about the friendly environment.
Last edited by slowmo2385 on Tue Dec 01, 2009 8:40 pm, edited 1 time in total.
missed this thread! i didnt see it cause of the title haha.. IM IN ALSO VIA EMAIL TODAY!! Acceptance email said a scholly would be mailed with the packet so I cant wait to see the offer!
BIG CONGRATS TO THOSE ACCEPTED! It would be an honor to attend!!
ugh one of my top choices with its relatively good national reputation as well as huge jewish population. Went complete 11/4...163 3.6 so right on border.
Congrats to all the admits!!
Can anyone tell me how long it took for Tulane to send out status checker info? I submitted a good bit ago, but have yet to get any word from them. Thanks!
anothernancydrew wrote: Congrats to all the admits!!
I submitted on Thanksgiving, and got the status checker this past Monday. If it has been longer than that for you, I would pick up the phone and call them to make sure they got everything/your correct contact information.
As for everyone else- congrats! Still waiting to hear back on mine, but I only went complete this past Monday.
Submitted 10/30 and it just says File Complete.
I also got the Tulane tote bag which was extremely classy and unique in my opinion. Instead of getting an envelope they really take the time to distinguish themselves and I liked that a lot. Anyway, I got the Dean's Scholly also but I'm not sure it's enough for me to really consider going there yet. It was generous (30000/yr) but not enough right now.
I do plan on visiting during their admitted students event. Are you going Trucker? Do you know which dates you'll want to go? It'd be awesome to meet some TLS'ers there!
Congrats to everyone who got in so far. I hope I will get in the next round. Waiting is killing me.
Unfortunately, probably not. I don't have a lot of time for visits, so I think I will reserve what time I do have for schools who give me full rides. On the other hand, visiting New Orleans is always fun! So, if I happen to be going through there on the truck, I might convince dispatch to let me stop for a while.
Congrats to you as well on the Dean's Scholarship. If nothing else, to say we got the Dean's Scholarship is quite a feather in our caps!
I got the $20k Dean's Scholarship, not sure its enough for me to seriously consider them yet. I was looking for a little more as well but I suppose I won't completely write them off yet. Probably will go to ASW.
Also got $20k Dean's Scholarship. Happy to have received good scholly but still a pretty expensive option. Definitely plan on going to ASW.
When you got in, what did the status checker say?
Did you get the acceptance email the same day?
At the bottom left of the status checker page, did it give the dates of the decision made and the date of a "decision" letter sent?
Or did it BOLDLY say, Welcome to Tulane!
I need to know if this "decision made" is a yes or no - and how long after yours said "decision made" did you get an acceptance email?

Candide's Top 10 Gardening Blogs for 2019
Sam_Coppard
Published on March 20th 2019
by Sam_Coppard. All rights reserved
It shouldn't come as a surprise to hear that everyone here at Candide is obsessed with gardening. Which means our spare time is split pretty evenly between playing around in our own gardens and reading about other people's.
With this in mind, we thought we would share with you our top ten gardening blogs for 2019 so you can enjoy them as well!
The Middle-Sized Garden
Do you think your garden's too small every time you want to add something new, but it always feels too big whenever you've got some weeding to do? Then you may have a middle-sized garden, and Alexandra Campbell is the gardener for you!
Whether you're struggling for time or need help with your cannas, struggling with mobility or need help with your courgettes, The Middle-Sized Garden is packed full of expert advice. It's the place to go if you want to feel like you're talking to a gardener who seems to know everything about everything.
The Frustrated Gardener
Dan Cooper takes a "more is more" approach to his jungle garden on the Kentish coast. With its warm, sheltered microclimate, the Frustrated Gardener has created an exotic haven brimming full of spectacular subtropical flowers.
So many of us dream of having our very own tropical paradise, but Dan has made this dream a reality, complete with an outdoor kitchen. And he's now given us all the info about how to do the same for ourselves. His hard work was also rewarded last year with a well-deserved visit from Gardeners' World.
Download the free Candide App to get help and answers from a warm community of gardeners
Catherine Hughes' brilliant blog covers gardening with a family and a whole lot more. Rather than just writing about the normal stuff you'd expect from a gardening blog, Growing Family features days out, arts and crafts with kids and getting out and about as a family.
As a busy mother of two, Catherine isn't exactly overburdened with free time, and she's started an excellent series of posts called "The Ten Minute Gardener" for all the other time-poor folks out there.
Gifts for the Green-fingered
Mark Ridsdill Smith is the container gardening genius behind Vertical Veg. He's grown £900 worth of veg in a single year on just his small balcony and windowsills in central London, transforming depressing concrete "gardens" into thriving green areas teeming with life and edible plants. And he is showing us all how it's done.
Vertical Veg is essential reading for anyone feeling limited by their lack of space or uninspired by their surroundings. Mark always finds a way to make gardening accessible and fun, no matter how unpromising the area might look to begin with.
Dogwooddays
A regular writer for Candide, Nic Wilson's Dogwooddays blog is one of our favourites. She loves growing her own food and cooking gluten-free meals sourced from the garden. The weirder the crop, the happier she is!
So if you fancy growing tree chillies, oca, rainbow carrots, trombocinos, fat baby achocha or cucamelons, Dogwooddays is essential reading.
Download the free Candide App to read more articles by Dogwooddays
Moving into a crumbling cottage in the country, complete with overgrown garden, ravenous wildlife, and a steep slope seems like a pipe dream to most. Well, Rusty Duck has done just this, and her blog explains the journey she's been on.
Jessica takes us from a wild tangled mess of a garden to the slightly less wild but still completely dreamy oasis it has become today, constantly battling the elements and animals along the way. Her humour and charm make this one of our favourites.
Two Thirsty Gardeners
Ever feel like you need something a bit stronger than a glass of water after a solid afternoon of gardening? Then Two Thirsty Gardeners may be your kind of blog.
Whether it's making cider from orchard apples, brewing beer from hops or growing the right herbs to make the perfect G&T, Nick and Rich know how to have a good time, and they can show you how to grow the crops you need to quench your thirst.
Shop Gifts for Gardeners
Alan Down writes our hugely popular weekly and monthly gardening features, and came up with the perfect pun for a blog name! With more than five decades of horticultural experience, Alan and Felicity are big names in the gardening world. They even had their own TV show and still feature regularly in the press.
They transformed the rundown Cleeve Nursery to the renowned garden centre it is today, and now we're lucky enough to have them sharing their vast knowledge through the Down to Earth blog.
You can also ask him gardening questions in the Candide app...
The Blackberry Garden
Alison Levey packs a huge variety of plants into the garden of her semi-detached house in the East Midlands. After all, she did mainly buy the house because the garden had so much potential.
The Blackberry Garden's Irritating Plant of the Month award is one of our favourite features. What gardener can't relate to having their hopes and dreams dashed by frosts or has that one plant that eternally hovers on the brink of death despite hours of love and attention?
The Patient Gardener
The passion is evident when you're reading The Patient Gardener. It's this passion that has taken Helen Johnstone from planting her first seeds to working at the Chelsea Flower Show, being featured on the radio and visiting San Francisco.
Her "Six for Saturday" series (six photos every Saturday) is fantastic for getting a great insight into ups and downs of life as a gardener, and it's always good to have some horticultural eye candy.

This is a very busy week, starting with the Solstice on Monday and ending with Mercury turning retrograde by Saturday. And I'm moving, from Georgia in the southern United State to Rhode Island in the northeast. Since I won't be writing this week, you may enjoy exploring this site and visiting some of the earlier entries you may have missed. My next new piece will be the Astro4Business Week post for December 28. Have a wonderful week!
Monday is a mystical day with the Solstice and two aspects to Neptune. If you missed the post on the Solstice, read about it with this link. The first Neptune aspect, Venus sextile Neptune, mixes the planet of creativity, finances, and relationship with concern, kindness, and consideration. Then Jupiter joins the fun and brings heightened intuition and rose-tinted confidence. These three planets together concoct a wonderful, compassionate, and lucrative atmosphere that brightens and heightens all of our activities today.
The eve of the Christian celebration of Christmas is catalyzed by a conjunction between the Sun and Pluto. You demonstrate magnetism, determination, and skilled decision-making . You are confident in your ability to align your business with these transforming times.
On Christmas Day, Venus enters the sign Capricorn. Under this influence we are happy to handle our money frugally, our creativity practicably, and our professional relationships with commitment and reliability.
The Sun also squares Saturn on this day. There may be serious interactions that challenge your authority, even amidst the festivities. Remember, you don't have to prove yourself; hold steady to your inner wisdom.
Mercury comes to a standstill on Saturday and then reverses direction until January 15. Mercury retrograde is a time to revisit all matters we've glossed over or managed to forget during the preceding 88 days. It is an opportunity to backtrack and reconsider, repair, and reflect. It is a time to slow down and fix whatever is broken, whether unresolved issues, personal misunderstandings, unfair negotiations, or glitches with phones, computers, or transportation.
It's not a good time to make important decisions unless you're just confirming a decision that was already in motion before the period, because there is a tendency for misinformation and poor communication during this time. It's not a good time for travel, unless you enjoy long uninterrupted working time in airports. It's unwise to sign contracts, but if you must, pay attention to the small print! Be extremely vigilant in your communications, and review twice before you hit send!
Saturday also begins Kwanzaa, the African American celebration of family, community, and culture. Founded in 1966 by Dr. Maulana Karenga, Kwanzaa is observed by more than eighteen million people around the world.

CBS News Reporter Highlights Major Trump Accomplishment As Most Underreported Story
Jan 2, 2020 DailyWire.com
Chief Washington Correspondent CBS News Host Major Garrett said during the most recent broadcast of CBS News' "Face The Nation" that President Donald Trump's efforts, and subsequent successes, to improve the lives of minority communities in the United States was the most underreported news story of 2019.
Garrett's remarks came during a segment where host Margaret Brennan told the panel she wanted to hear their most "undercovered story and your beat and story you wish you could have covered."
"So sometimes undercovered stories are complicated," Garrett began, noting that Trump's rhetoric sometimes does not match his actions. "And this one, I think, falls resolutely in that category."
"And yet it can be fairly said that this administration, because of President Trump's quiet prodding, has done quite a bit for funding of historically black colleges and universities," Garrett said. "The First Step Act, which was a massive first step toward criminal justice reform. Just a couple of weeks ago, in this newly signed defense bill, there is a law that says if you are seeking work for the federal government or any contractor, you don't have to be asked and you cannot be asked about your criminal history until right toward the end. That's a significant change long sought by criminal justice advocates, plus opportunity zones in the tax bill directed at communities of color."
Garrett noted that Trump's achievements for minority communities have been so historic that it is a record that "almost any president after three years would want to claim, particularly President Obama."
"That is a legacy on the agenda side, that almost any president after three years would want to claim, particularly President Obama," Garrett said. "Many of those things were sought. But you know what? Republicans would not go for it. Quietly, persistently, President Trump has pushed Republicans in this direction. And I think that's an under-covered story and part of something that neither he nor Republicans really talk about it, but it doesn't make it any less real."
CBS News' Major Garrett: President @realDonaldTrump has a policy legacy of helping minority communities that "any president…would want to claim"https://t.co/5dzmoEPns9 pic.twitter.com/krmJZYbE3J
The Trump administration also highlighted some of the successes they have secured for minority communities:
THE WASHINGTON POST: For The First Time, Most New Working-Age Hires In The U.S. Are People Of Color
"The surge of minority women getting jobs has helped push the U.S. workforce across a historic threshold. For the first time, most new hires of prime working age (25 to 54) are people of color, according to a Washington Post analysis of data the Labor Department began collecting in the 1970s. Minority hires overtook white hires last year. Women are predominantly driving this trend, which is so powerful that even many women who weren't thinking about working — because they were in school, caring for kids or at home for other reasons — are being lured into employment, according to The Post's analysis."
REUTERS: Tight U.S. Labor Market Shrinks Gender And Race Gaps To Record Lows
"A tight U.S. labor market and booming demand in industries with an abundance of female workers is drawing more women back into the workforce, helping to shrink the longstanding gap in the labor participation rate between men and women to the narrowest on record. Other parts of a report released by the Labor Department on Friday showed that the longest economic expansion on record is leading to improvements for workers who are often left on the sidelines. Not only did the unemployment rate for African Americans drop to a record low of 5.5% in August, it narrowed to being 1.62 times the white unemployment rate, the smallest gap ever."
THE NEW YORK TIMES: Minority Women Are Winning The Jobs Race In A Record Economic Expansion
"…Hispanic women have emerged as the biggest job market winners in an economy that has now grown for 121 straight months, assuming data released in coming months confirms continued growth. Employment rates for Hispanic women between 25 and 54, prime working years, have jumped by 2.2 percentage points since mid-2007, the eve of the Great Recession. That's the most of any prime-age working group. Black women came in second, adding 1.6 percentage points."
WASHINGTON EXAMINER: Black Unemployment Rate Hits Record Low
"The unemployment rate among black Americans hit a record low in August, closing in on the gap in unemployment rates between white and black Americans. The Bureau of Labor and Statistics released their August report Friday, which showed the economy gained 130,000 jobs in August with the overall unemployment rate holding steady at 3.7%. The report also showed that black unemployment fell to 5.5%, which is the lowest rate recorded since the Labor Department started tracking the number in the 1970s."
THE DAILY CALLER: Black Unemployment Hits Record Low, Spurred By Uptick In Employment For Black Women
"The unemployment rate for black workers fell from 6.0% in July to 5.5 % in August, data from the Department of Labor reveals. These number surpass the record low set in May 2018 of 5.9% for black unemployment. These record low numbers are impacted by unemployment numbers for black women. While July numbers revealed unemployment for black women to be at 5.2%, August numbers saw that figure drop to 4.4%."
CNS NEWS: Hispanic Unemployment Rate Ties All-Time Low
"The number of Hispanics and Latinos employed set a record high in August as their national, seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate matched its record low of 4.2%, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data released Friday show. In August, the unemployment rate for Hispanics and Latinos, aged 16 and up, was 4.2%, down from 4.5% in July, returning to the record low of 4.2% in April and May – which broke the record low of 4.3% set two months earlier in February."
ASSOCIATED PRESS: Unemployment Rate Hits Record Low For Asian Americans
"The unemployment rate for Asian Americans fell to 2.1% in June, its lowest level on records dating to 2003. The result reflects Asian Americans coming off the sidelines to look for work and finding it."
BREITBART: 6.2 Million Individuals Off Food Stamps Under Trump
"The most recent USDA data shows that 6,268,285 individuals discontinued their participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)— the program in charge of food stamps— since February 2017 when Trump finished his first month as president."

Bank of America Corp. Chief Executive Officer Brian T. Moynihan told employees in a year-end letter that he bolstered the firm against risk and will make more improvements in 2012.
"We greatly strengthened our risk culture in 2011, and that work has laid the foundation that will carry us through whatever turbulent times may lie ahead," Moynihan wrote in a letter posted to an internal employee Web site.
Moynihan, 52, plans to trim about $5 billion in annual costs by 2014 at the second-biggest US lender to combat stagnant revenue and a sagging stock price.
Shares of the Charlotte, NC-based bank dropped 58 percent this year amid rising mortgage-related costs and concern that the European debt crisis will derail the global economic recovery.
Bank of America cut riskier assets by $117 billion from the third quarter of 2010 and reduced exposure to European sovereign and corporate debt by 43 percent since 2009, Moynihan said in the letter.

Firing Vibes to give the FPS genre a musical twist
Alex Southgate
First-person shooters are fun but not necessarily the most original things out there. We've all played them, we all pretty much know what to expect. Shooter fans looking for a bit of a change might well want to grab Firing Vibes, a new addition to the FPS catalog. What makes the title any different to the mountain of others out there? Well, put simply, it's musical.
Have you ever picked up an assault rifle, started firing, and noticed that your shots have a rhythm? Probably not, you're too busy trying not to get gunned down. If you have, however, Firing Vibes takes that notion and makes it into an entire game. In this title, if you aren't firing along to a melody you probably aren't going to last very long,
This newly announced indie game is the work of just one ingenious developer based in France. In Firing Vibes the melody starts when you pull the trigger. Damage is then calculated with each note successfully hit. This in turn creates a unique damage pattern depending on the melody. A fast melody may feel like you're firing an assault rifle, a slow one, a sniper rifle, and so on. It's not about the weapon you're wielding, rather the tune you're playing, which is actually pretty smart.
Firing Vibes is looking for quite a lot of depth and immersion. By combining musical weapons and building mechanics the developer is looking to create a competitive, multi-player online experience that will keep players coming back for more. A minimalist visual approach has also been taken to cut out all the minor details that can hinder the player's view. This has been done to aid the competitive nature of the game and can only be a good thing.
If you think this might be worth a punt Firing Vibes will be coming to Steam Early Access in the not-to-distant future. If you'd like to be amongst the first batch of players getting involved you'll find much of what you need to know here.
Personally, I've never been much of one for FPS games. Nothing wrong with the genre per-say, it just doesn't float my boat. Firing Vibes looks interesting and different enough to be worth a download, you never know, it might just become the next big thing.

Windows Phone 7 and 8 gets new ports of Angry Birds and they're free for a limited time!
When we didn't hear from Microsoft about an Xbox Windows Phone release this week, we feared that there wouldn't a new game today. It turns out that we should have had faith, because a new release did quietly slip out, and it's an interesting one!
Following on the heels of their early April release, Amazing Alex, Rovio now breaks in the month of May with the game that started their rise to fame: Angry Birds. We're not talking about a new Angry Birds sequel or the oft-requested spin-off Bad Piggies. No, a Windows Phone 8-exclusive version of the original Angry Birds (now called Angry Birds Classic) has just arrived with all the content missing from its unloved Windows Phone 7 predecessor. Windows Phone 7 gets a new, updated version as well but without the Xbox features. And best of all, both versions are free until May 15!
The road to the return
The WP8 title screen's video link doesn't jump straight to video playback like it should...
The story of how and why we have two distinct Xbox Windows Phone versions of Angry Birds is long and sordid, filled with the tears of many an early adopter. Basically, the first game launched on Windows Phone 7 way back in June of 2011. It didn't take us long to realize that version was missing a whopping 105 levels compared to the iOS and Android versions at that time. An update followed in July which added those levels in, bringing the game up to Episode 5: Hang 'Em High.
Problem is, Rovio never updated it again! While the iOS and Android games have enjoyed level pack after level pack since 2011, Windows Phone 7 owners were left relatively high and especially dry.
We sort of thought Rovio had given up on Microsoft's mobile platforms for a while. Then both Angry Birds Space and Angry Birds Star Wars launched with Windows Phone 8 in early November 2012! Heck, for an uncomfortably long stretch of time they were the ONLY Windows Phone 8-exclusive Xbox games.
Windows Phone 7 users initially felt left out, but Rovio published non-Xbox versions for the legacy OS a month later. Angry Birds Seasons, a slightly older sequel, popped up with Xbox features on Windows Phone 8 and without them on Windows Phone 7 in February of this year. Amazing Alex also saw a non-Xbox Windows Phone 7 game shortly after its big brother version.
Full circle at last
Having taken you through that trip back in time, we finally return to the present (and not a dark version of it that was ruined by a cheating gambler!)...
Rovio obviously has a Windows Phone 8 engine that they enjoy working with. That engine has finally allowed them to give Windows Phone users a proper, non-gimped version of the very first Angry Birds. This new port contains all the content of the old one, plus:
Episode 6: Mine and Dine
Episode 7: Birdday Party
Episode 8: Bad Piggies (note this is not the actual Bad Piggies game)
Bonus Episode: Surf and Turf
That makes it up to date with other platforms, which were last updated on March 7, 2013. Feels good to be caught up, doesn't it?
This version also has 200 GamerScore of completely different Achievements from the old version, so owners of the previous iteration can potentially earn 400 GamerScore from playing through them both. You'll be glad to know there's no Achievement for smashing 250,000 blocks on Windows Phone 8! But it does have one for playing for 30 hours, so I guess we can't escape the grinding. At least this one has the full plate of content to support that hefty chunk of playtime!
Get it while it's hot
Surf and Turf and Birdday Party
Angry Birds (the first) is a 19 MB download on Windows Phone 8. And it's FREE through May 15, so don't wait to grab it! After that time its price will rocket up to 99 cents, just like other games in the series. Grab it here from the Windows Phone Store.
Update: New for Windows Phone 7 too!
Don't feel left out, Windows Phone 7 users. Rovio has pulled the old, outdated version of the original Angry Birds form the Store. In its place is a new version complete with all the content described in this article! The only downside is the new Windows Phone 7 game lacks Xbox Live functionality, just as with Angry Birds Space, Star Wars, and Seasons. But hey, it's got way more levels than before and it's free through May 15 as well!
Get Angry Birds for Windows Phone 7 here.

Jit Narain (Livorno, Suriname, 7 augustus 1948), pseudoniem van Djietnarainsingh Baldewsingh, is een Surinaams arts, voordrachtskunstenaar, dichter en Sarnami-activist.

Leven en werk
Baldewsingh studeerde medicijnen in Leiden, waartoe hij in 1969 naar Nederland ging. Hij is een fel voorvechter van de emancipatie van het Sarnami, de taal van de Surinaamse hindoestanen. Samen met Theo Damsteegt schreef hij een leerboek-Sarnami. In zijn poëzie bezingt Narain de voorouders die van India kwamen en zich als landbouwende klasse uit de modder omhoog wisten te werken; vergelijk de titel van zijn debuutbundel Dal Bhat Chatni [Gele erwten, rijst, chutney] (1977). Voorts is de tweede emigratie (naar Nederland) en het gevoel van ontworteling dat daaruit ontsproot een constante in zijn poëzie: Jatne ujjar joti otone gahra jhalka/ Hoe blanker het licht hoe dieper de blaren (1981). Narain is befaamd om zijn ruzies met pandits en stelt zich strijdbaar op: Hinsa-parsad/ Geweld loont (1980). Orthodoxe en traditionalistische gelovigen streek hij met zijn opvattingen over geloofskwesties tegen de haren in. Zijn rijpste werk onttrekt zich meer en meer aan het anekdotische, maar blijft dankzij de metafora sterk beeldend: Wie wil wonen op de oever/ Waarom koerst hij naar de zee// Mange ghat pe jiwan jhele/ Kahen naw samundar khewe (1984), Waar Ben Je Daar/ Bate huwan tu kahan (1987), Agni ke yad, yad ke rakhi/ Ter herinnering aan Agni, de as van de herinnering (1991) en Tussen de woorden is het stil (1995). In 1988 verscheen zijn verzamelde poëzie in het Devanagari in lndia. In 2004 volgde, ook in India, Dosti ke cáh/Wat vriendschap verlangt/What friendship desires. In 2017 kwam  Rahan/Bestaan uit.

Jit Narain is een goed voordrachtskunstenaar en bracht ook een grammofoonplaat uit. In 1987 kreeg hij voor zijn verdiensten voor het Sarnami de eerste Rahmān Khān-prijs. Sarnami is ook de naam van het blad dat hij van 1982 tot 1986 uitgaf en grotendeels alleen volschreef. Zijn beperkt aantal prozaschetsen is veelal poëtisch van aard ('Aja' in Verhalen van Surinaamse schrijvers, 1989).

In 1991 ging Jit Narain definitief terug naar zijn geboorteland, waar hij in het district Saramacca een polikliniek opende. Op 8 april 2006 werd achter die kliniek een sociaal centrum geopend dat een bibliotheek, een filmzaal, een cybercafé, een zwembad en logeerruimten herbergt. Alles werd grotendeels door Narain bekostigd.

In 2004 maakte John Albert Jansen over Narain het televisieportret De as van de herinnering.

In 2021 verscheen bij uitgeverij In de Knipscheer een ruime bloemlezing uit zijn werk onder de titel Een mensenkind in niemandsland, samengesteld door Michiel van Kempen en Effendi Ketwaru en met een inleiding van Geert Koefoed en Satya Jadoenandansing.

Jit Narain Cultuurprijs & Jit Narain Lezing
In 2018 werd voor een prijs voor Sarnámi cultuur ingesteld, vernoemd naar Jit Narain. Deze Jit Narain Cultuurprijs werd ingesteld door een groep Sarnámi activisten in Den Haag. De eerste maal ging de prijs, bestaande uit een bronzen beeldje van een contractarbeider, een geldbedrag van 5.000 euro en een oorkonde, naar Jit Narain. De prijs werd uitgereikt door de Haagse burgemeester Pauline Krikke in de Nieuwe Kerk van Den Haag. Bij die gelegenheid werd ook de eerste Jit Narain Lezing gehouden, door prof. Michiel van Kempen. De tekst ervan, alsook het co-referaat van Jit Narain verschenen ook in druk onder de titel Herinneren, verbeelden, begrenzen; 150 jaar Hindostanen hier en daar. Bij deze gelegenheid verscheen bij uitgeverij In de Knipscheer een herziene druk van Narains dichtbundel Waar ben je daar/ Báte huwán tu kahán, de eerste in Nederland uitgebrachte bundel van Narain sinds 1986.
