You might be tired of the excess fat that sits at the sides of the waist. It looks very unappealing and becomes very hard to deal with. Even after vigorous exercising, you are not able to reduce your side bulges. To get rid of fat from the sides you need to exercise regularly and make some necessary dietary and lifestyle changes. You must do exercises that target those specific muscles in order to lose fat from sides. Most of you are not aware of the exercises that help in reducing fat from the sides. Here are five exercises that can help you get rid of those side bulges. These are simple exercises which will not only reduce side fat but as well as tone your body.
For this exercise grab a dumbbell in each hand. Stand straight with your feet apart. Raise your right hand upwards and now bend your waist towards left as low as you can. This will stretch your muscles from the sides. Now straighten up and relax for few seconds and repeat the same for the right side. Repeat this ten times for each side.
Lie on your bank on a flat surface. Place your arms at your both sides with palms facing down. Now lift your both legs up together to form a sixty-degree angle. Hold for few seconds and later bring them back. Keep your legs straight all the time. Repeat this exercise 15 times.
Stand straight on the floor and keep your feet 4 to 5 feet apart and arms extended at your sides. Now bend on your left side and place your left hand next to your left foot. Raise your right hand upwards towards the ceiling. Now move your neck and look at your right hand. Hold this pose for few seconds and go back to the starting position. Now repeat the same for the right side. Do at least 7 repetitions for each side. To increase the effect of this exercise you can also hold a dumbbell in your hands.
Oblique crunch targets side muscles and help in reducing side fat effectively. To do oblique crunch lie on your back and lift your legs with bent knees. Place your both hands behind your head. Now try to touch your left elbow to your right knee and right elbow to your left knee by lifting your torso. Repeat this 10 times for each side.
It is a variation of side plank which reduces side fat. First get in side plank position, once you are properly balanced stack one foot on top of the other and raise your arm upwards. Now lift the leg on the top upwards. Hold this pose for a while and then return to the starting position. Repeat this exercise 15 times for each side.

Psychology > Counseling Psychology > Career Assessment > Career Development Inventory
The Career Development Inventory (CDI) is a 120-item standardized measure of career development attitudes and knowledge first published in 1979. This measure operationally defines career maturity based on Donald Super's theory of career development. In general, the CDI assesses level of readiness for making realistic educational and career-related decisions. There are two forms of the CDI, one for middle school and high school students and another for college students.
Having its roots in the Career Pattern Study, the CDI emerged as the culmination of years investigating central dimensions related to Super's model of vocational maturity. The five basic scales of the CDI are described as follows:
Career Planning (CP; 20 items) assesses future orientation and the extent to which one has thoughtfully engaged in educational and career planning activities.
Career Exploration (CE; 20 items) measures clients' willingness to use various educational and career resources (e.g., books, counselors) and the efficacy of those utilized.
Decision Making (DM; 20 items) measures understanding of the process of effective career decision making based on respondents' solutions to hypothetical career decisions.
World-of-Work Information (WW; 20 items) assesses general knowledge of occupations and understanding of how to attain and succeed in certain fields.
Knowledge of Preferred Occupation (PO; 40 items) first involves selecting one of 20 occupational groups (e.g., writing and law) to designate one's work interests. Next, the respondent's degree of knowledge regarding typical duties and personal characteristics of workers involved in that particular occupational group is examined.
Consistent with Super's theory, the CDI includes two broad factors—each comprising two cognitive (DM and WW) and two attitudinal components (CP and CE)—in addition to the PO, a separate content domain suitable only after 10th grade. Composite scores are also provided by combining CP and CE to form the Career Development Attitudes (CDA) scale, DM and WW to form the Career Development Knowledge and Skills (CDK) scale, and CDA plus CDK for a Career Orientation Total.
The CDI has multiple uses including career research, practice, education, and program evaluation. Numerous publications provide insights into interpreting results. Beyond the assessment of interests, abilities, personality, and work values, the CDI provides supplementary information on the process of coping with complex tasks associated with choosing a career.
A substantial amount of research has been conducted on the CDI. The content and theoretical relationships between its scales have proven sound. Scores on attitudinal components increase throughout high school. Interestingly, the cognitive scales of the CDI have shown positive relationships to grade point average and measures of intelligence. These associations are slight, but consistently emerge across studies. Although the CP, CE, and WW scales demonstrate sufficient reliability estimates, lower values for DM and PO warrant caution. In addition to these concerns, factor analyses suggest that users emphasize the broader composite scales. Moreover, ongoing needs for investigating its predictive validity persist.
The CDI is an exemplar applied career assessment based on career development theory. Continued efforts to update the measure are necessary to solidify its legacy for informing our understanding of career development.

September's Heroes
We walked over to Pier 88 to meet Michael's Mom & Dad and then went to lunch with them at Pom Pom Diner. They were sailing from New York on a long cruise leaving Thursday, so we were lucky enough to spend some time with them, having not seen them in over a year. It was overcast and we had a little rain but we somehow managed to avoid it.
The Phantom of the Opera I saw Phantom twice in New York just after it opened in 1988. First, starring Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman and the second time with Timothy Nolen and Patti Cohenour. I've seen other productions since then, including the more modern (technically) Las Vegas version and have always found it to be entertaining.
When it originally opened (less than a year after Les Miserables), it was part of the British Invasion of Broadway and the mega-musical phase. Much like Disney's entrance on the Broadway stage, many in the theatre community resented it and were unfairly critical. The fact is, Phantom has been running for 26 years on Broadway and with the exception of a few years prior to the movie version's release, when attendance dipped, it has consistently sold at 85-100% of capacity.
Michael and I have both seen Phantom multiple times. I never considered it one of my favorite shows, yet I never fail to be thrilled and swept away by it. There were two reasons we chose to revisit it on this trip. First, It was one of only a few shows with a Thursday matinee. Second, we found out Norm Lewis was stepping into the role of the Phantom and that's the real reason we bought tickets. We met Lewis last summer on the Broadway On the High Seas 3 cruise and were instantly enchanted. He is not only an amazing performer but a sincere and gracious person.
So the verdict? I can happily report that Phantom, with it's current cast, looks and feels as fresh and electric as any show currently running on Broadway. The sound was excellent and the lighting tech and special effects, which remain pretty much unaltered, work flawlessly. (There are no intelligent (moving) or LED lights evident as there are in all the newer productions.)
Norm Lewis (Phantom), Sierra Boggess (Christine) and Jeremy Hays (Raoul) probably sing the show better than any previous cast. Both Lewis and Boggess bring so many more layers in vocal styles to their performances than I've heard from others assuming those roles. I have to be honest and say I've never liked the Raoul character in past productions. Now with Hays in the role, I finally did. Hays brings Raoul to life in a fully-rounded, brilliantly sung performance.
Lewis is not duplicating Crawford's Phantom character. This is a departure from the way it is usually done when a replacement goes into a currently running show. I think Lewis' character could be a little better developed– but I'm confident he will continue to grow in the role. He's making it his own. Lewis' Phantom is more a romantic and less the control-seeking victim of his predecessors. The same can be said for Boggess as Christine. This is not the weak victimized Christine of past seasons. Boggess makes her fresh, more confident and has full command of the stage. Boggess' Christine seems to be more in control and makes choices, as opposed to being the victim of circumstance.
If you've never seen Phantom on Broadway and want a sure-thing– this is it.
Bullets Over Broadway I have to sum up Bullets with one sentence: It's been done before. Based on the Woody Allen movie, Bullets is just a plain fun, old book, entertainment. There is nothing new or fresh here and it's been done better, dozens of times before. It has a thin plot (complete with gangsters) and a score comprised of familiar catalog songs. The charm of the film doesn't translate to the stage in this production.
I didn't find anything unique in the staging or choreography and found that though all the actors give strong performances, they weren't able to rise above the material. Don't get me wrong, the show is enjoyable. It just isn't something I'd go see again.
I didn't expect a revelation here. I did expect that I would laugh, or at least smile a lot more than I did.
Last comment: How could anyone think that the song, Yes, We have No Bananas was a good way to end the show?
It's beyond me.

졸업시즌이라 지인들 졸업식에 다녀온 것도 아닌데 여행자 주제에 괜스레 바쁘네요.
저는 잠비아에서 아주 잘 보냈고 몇 개월째 이곳에서 아주 잘 지내고 있어요.
그럼 우선 사진부터 몇 장 공유해볼게요.
who invited me to a safe place from the wild animals.
and told me that it is a must to visit the park.
Actually the town Mfuwe was wild enough for me.
Compare to Masai Mara in Kenya or Serengeti in Tanzania, the price here in South Luangwa was reasonable.
So I decide to join a Game Drive next morning.
One elephant was eaten up by a crocodile in the Luangwa River.
The fine spectacle scene made me hungry and went to the marked for chips.
There I met Anelie who asked me if I want to see how hippos got slaughtered.
I jumped on her pick-up truck and she drove me to the Hippo Management.
There I could see some Hippos organs lying on the ground.
As I understood, the Hippos should have 5 stomachs and they ruminate 5 times. I thought just cows ruminate. So if you kill a Hippo 18% of its outcome is chewed grass.
Hippo meat is protein rich food and an adult hippo can give maximum 500kg of meat.
Not just meat, the skin are used as leather, the teeth and the eight ivories are also valuable things.
Kudu, the boss of this management, invited me for dinner.
Hippo Sausage with traditional Zambian Nshima and Rep.
The South-African family provided me a space to camp as well.
Why not some more nights in Mfuwe.
Early in the morning I joined them hunting.
It's not easy to hunt in the raining season because of the river and slippery surface.
You can just hunt in authorized areas with license, permission and etc. papers.
Kudu, the X-military sniper shot the Hippo at once.
The boot team has to find the shot hippo in the river and tie a wire on its foot.
Pull out the 1 ton heavy Hippo out of the Luangwa River.
At first I felt sorry for the hippo, but some of the hippos have to be killed.
Because there're too many hippos living in Luangwa River and in the dry season the hippos kill each other to occupy the wet area (like the human). Some of the hippos will die and lay in the river for long period which can cause disease in this urban.
Anyways, it's not easy to carry a hippo.
There are lots of works to do back in the management.
I could recharge enough protein for the next ride.
And enjoyed enough marvelous foods for me for a while, like the crocodile paté as a delicacy.
Thank you Family Van Vuuren for the amusing days at your place.
The Family arranged a free lift for me to go back to Chipata.
So I could reach Chipata dry and saved two days of riding in the mud.
오늘은 찰리님의 소식을 접해서 즐거운 하루가 될것 같네요..
아...매일 같이 출석체크 했건만...그래도 이정도 순위면 찰리님이 봐주실려나...여행기 완독하고 감동한 뒤 이렇게 글 남기는 또 한명의 팬입니다. 오래 머무르는 곳에서는 밀린 여행기도 살짝 정리해 두세요. 여기 올려달라는 건방진 부탁은 아니구요, 제가 보기에 나중에 분명히 그간 여행을 보상하고 남을 여행기로서 가치가 있을것이기에 그렇답니다. 다른 어떤 국내여행자의 여행기보다 재밋습니다. 믿어보시고 정리 잘 해두세요. 늘 건강하게 지금껏 그래왔듯 멋진 여행 하시길 빕니다.
지금 부모님이랑 같이 계시는 건가요?
하마는 수가 많아서 그냥 잡아 먹나보네요.
암튼 간만에 소식 들어 반갑습니다.
사진을 보면서 아프리카란 곳에 호기심이 마구마구 솟습니다. 기회가되면 꼭 한번 여행해보고 싶네요.
그런데 목이 절단된, 하마의 머리의 눈망울이 많이 슬퍼보이기도하고, 많은 생각이 들기도 하군요.
건강하게 잘 지내시네요 모쪼록 앞으로도 항상 건강하시길..
너무 반갑네요..오랜만에 새글 올리 셨네요..
맨 마지막에 사진이 부모님 이시군요..부모님 닮아서 찰리님이 훈남 이셨군요..
사진을 다 보면 잠비아에 오래 도록 머무는 이유를 알까 했는데? 잘 모르겠네요..
잠비아에 오래도록 머무는 이유가 부모님을 오래만에 만나서 이겠죠..
언제나 찰리님의 건강과 안전을 기원합니다.
주님의 역사가 많이 이루어 지길 기도합니다..
건강 잘 챙기시며 즐거운 여행하시길 바랍니다!
찰리님. 지난번 남아공 간다고 여쭤봤던 기자입니다. 지금은 어디 계실지요.. 3년 전보다 사진 스킬도 정말 많이 발전하셨네요. 화이팅입니다. 나중에 꼭 뵙게 될 것입니다. ^^ 힘내세요.
하마를 먹다니.. 하마 소세지? 음.... 하마를 먹는줄 첨 알았네요..
소, 돼지, 닭은 먹어도 별 생각이 없었는데.. 왠지 하마를 먹는다 하니 불쌍한건 왜일까요?
멋진 사진과 함께 즐거운 글들 또 잘 보았습니다.
언제나 그 웃음처럼 좋은 사람들만 만나고 다니는군요.
개체수가 너무 많아서 잡아야만 하는 하마 사진은 참 인상적이었습니다.
전 이제 잠시 1차 원정을 마치고 뉴질랜드에서 - 일본을 거쳐 한국으로 들어갈 생각입니다.
언제나 건강 유의하고..멋지게 여행하길 바라겠습니다.
엄청난 사진들, 그 속에 담겨있는 이야기들이 머릿속 상상으로 그려집니다.

Processing of research and dispersed information on protected species and input into a unified Protected Species Information System (PSIS/SRIS)
Projects leader: dr. Valerijus Rašomavičius
Project duration: 2014–2016
More information about the Projec
Project leader: Dr. V. Rašomavičius, project reference number EEE-LT03-AM-01-K-01-001, (2014–2016)
The Protected Species Information System (PSIS/SRIS) is aimed at compiling, systematizing and providing data on protected species, their habitats and localities to interested parties and ensuring publicity of the data and information on protected species. The data are used for practical environmental activities: development of protected species management plans, nature management plans, documents on the establishment and planning of protected areas, documents on the assessment of the impact of planned economic activities on the environment, documents on forest management, preparation of land survey projects for rural development, etc. The information system data can also be used for working out analyses, strategies, prognoses concerning protected species distribution, abundance, status, etc.
The data for the Protected Species Information System is provided mandatory by the environmental system staff as well as various environmental promoters. However, over 50 years worth of data from a number of main sources are still unavailable, including from scientific collections and archives (field sheets, observation questionnaires, reports, cartographic material), as well as dispersed information to be gained from observers of natural diversity acting in other institutions (universities), public organizations (Entomological, Bat Conservation Societies) or living in the regions.. The project leader will ensure verification of the quality and approval of the provided dispersed data as well as input into the Protected Species Information System.
The aim of the project is to compile and analyse the dispersed scientific data as well as historical information on protected species of animals, plants and fungi, and to systematize and consolidate the data into a unified Protected Species Information System.
Norway Grants: Partnership for Creation and Preservation of Values
The Nature Research Centre has successfully completed the project "Processing of research and dispersed information on protected species and input into a unified Protected Species Information System" (No EEE-LT03-AM-01-K-01-001) within the EEA financial mechanism programme "Biodiversity and ecosystem services" 2009–2014. The Ministry of Environment of the Republic of Lithuania was the national operator of the programme, and the Central Project Management Agency was the implementing institution.
The purpose of the project from April 2014 was to compile, analyse and provide data on protected species for a unified Protected Species Information System (PSIS) administered by the Ministry of Environment and thus contribute to the preservation of biodiversity. The final result of project activities is over 53 thousand of new records of protected animal, plant and fungus species (of which 1385 were records of strictly protected species). The main sources of such an impressive amount of information were scientific collections (e.g. BILAS, WI, and HSUD herbariums), private collections, databases of research institutions (e.g. CICONIA, BIGIS, etc.), non-governmental organisations and private persons, observation reports, field sheets, individual reports, etc. About thirty researchers of the Nature Research Centre as well as experts from other institutions were involved in the project.
The closing event of the project took place on 18 April 2016. Algirdas Klimavičius, Head of the Protected Areas Strategy Division of the Department of Protected Areas and Landscape of the Ministry of Environment, presented successful results of the project. The Protected Species Information System is of particular importance in taking national strategic decisions, implementing economic development projects as well as preserving biodiversity. The results of the project significantly contribute to the effective functioning of the Protected Species Information System.
Sustainable development of wind power in western Lithuania
Projects leader: dr. Mindaugas Dagys
Project partners: Nature Research Centre (the Leading Party, Vilnius, Lithuania), The Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA), Centre of Sustainable Development (Vilnius, Lithuania), The Lithuanian Wind Power Association.
PURPOSE OF THE ROJECT – identification of conflict zones which are vulnerable to the development of wind power facilities in the sense of biodiversity protection and preparation of conflict management recommendations.
Photo by Mindaugas Kirstukas
Identify conflict zones which are vulnerable to the development of wind power facilities in the sense biodiversity protection:
Analyse primary information sources and establish criteria for identification of conflict zones. All areas that are important in view of protection of target animal groups as well as areas suitable for the development of wind power plants will be identified in western Lithuania. Identification of areas will be performed according to the criteria agreed with interested persons. All criteria will be described in a standardised form.
Perform analysis of significance of criteria. Analysis of significance of selected criteria agreed with interested persons will be performed. Researchers will assess to what extent the selected criteria are significant to conflict intensity. Assessment of criteria significance will be discussed with interested persons and described in a standardised form.
Build a spatial database for identification of conflict zones. A digital spatial database will be built with as many layers as many criteria will be identified. Different information sources will be used to achieve the purpose: special and detailed plans, data of cadastres and registries, as well as other digital and non-digital information. During this activity, non-digital information will be digitised. A spatial information analysis model will be created.
Based on results of the performed analysis create a model for identification of particular conflict zones and intensity of conflict in them. A model for automated analysis of spatial information for the purpose of visualization of conflict zones in a particular territory (e.g. municipality, county) and calculation of the total area of such zones in a territory and intensity of conflict in them will be created. After finalization of the project the model might be further used for assessment of conflict intensities outside western Lithuania.
Perform verification of the created model based on in situ data. In the territories selected according to the established criteria, the monitoring of target animals with be performed with a view to collecting information necessary for verification of the created model. The verification of the model for analysis of spatial information will ensure that assessment carried out with the help of the model reflects the real situation. The results of the assessment and the possibilities of the use of the model in estimating conflict intensity will be delivered in two seminars for local environmental organizations and community members.
Prepare recommendations for management of conflicts between the development of wind power plants and protection of biodiversity:
Prepare recommendations how to solve conflicts between the development of wind power plants and conservation of biodiversity. Recommendations how to ensure the lowest possible effects of the development of wind power plants on the target animal groups and. accordingly, to ensure the goals of biodiversity protection will be prepared. A newsletter to describe the possibilities of the use of the model in identifying conflict zones and measuring intensity of conflicts and to present recommendations drafted during the project will be prepared.
APPLICANT – state scientific research institute Nature Research Centre
The Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (Norsk institutt for naturforskning, NINA) is Norway's leading institution for nature research. Among the projects the institute has implemented, there were many devoted to analysis of sustainable development of infrastructures of separate sectors in view of nature protection, including analysis of the development of wind power plants. When running GP Wind, OPTIPOL projects, NINA's specialists have prepared conflict analysis methods that might be applied to our project. In our project, NINA's specialists will basically contribute to the creation of a spatial data analysis model (tool), which will allow analysing spatial information layers prepared according to selected criteria. NRC's researchers will apply the experience of NINA in establishing assessment criteria and drafting recommendations on mitigation of the impact of wind power plants on biological diversity.
Centre for Sustainable Development (Darnaus vystymosi centras, DVC). DVC's specialists have a long-time project and administrative work experience; therefore, in this project DVC's key functions are to arrange intermediate and final discussions with interested persons and organise seminars, ensure interactions between project partners, and organise the outsourcing of necessary expert services. DVC's specialists who have experience in bat observations will perform analysis of impacts of wind power plants on bats, establish criteria, and perform field works necessary for validation of the created model.
Lithuanian Wind Power Plant Association (Lietuvos vėjo elektrinių asociacija, LVEA). LVEA, which is currently participated by ca. 90 per cent of investors into Lithuanian wind power plants, will ensure that needs and purposes of the development of wind power plants are fully incorporated into the analysis system. Thus, it will be achieved that the created model will not be solely eco-centered and will identify in an optimal way the existing and future conflicts between biodiversity protection and wind power development. LVEA will be responsible for establishment of criteria and their significance in the context of wind power development and for assistance to NRC's researchers in preparing recommendations .
According to the Law on Renewable Energy Resources, the total capacity of WPPs connected to the networks should reach 500 MW by the year 2020 (Official Gazette 2011, No 62-2936; 2013, No 12-560). At the time being, the installed capacity is above 280 MW, and licences are issued for other 210 MW. Most of them are in the western part of Lithuania. The limit of 500 MW is expected to be reached in 2016 already. Despite their attractiveness due to low CO2 emissions, WPPs have a direct negative impact on biodiversity. Three types of direct impact can be distinguished: direct displacement (when WPPs are installed in wintering or resting sites of birds), direct collision (when migrating or soaring birds are killed or injured by turbine blades), and decompression (when rotating blades cause air pressure changes which lead to the burst of blood vessels in the lungs of animals, in particular bats). The density of WPPs in Lithuania is likely to keep growing after 2020 too. Thus, intensity of conflicts between wind power plants and biodiversity is predicted to increase, especially in western Lithuania which is an important area for migration of birds and bats. Identification of potential conflict zones in the context of the development of WPPs and protection of biodiversity and preparation of recommendations to minimise conflict intensity are important steps towards management of existing and avoidance of future conflicts. A tool (model) created in the course of the project and based on analysis of spatial data will allow visualisation and mapping of conflict intensity. To balance environmental protection and WPP development objectives, the selected criteria will be transformed into the degree of acceptance measured on a continuous scale from 0 to 1. This process is based on the principles of fuzzy logic theory and is used to solve conflict management problems in many countries. The model will allow automated visualization of conflict zones in western Lithuania and assessment of conflict intensity according to the agreed criteria. The tool could be applied after the end of the project. The updated information layers will facilitate identification of potential conflict zones, their total area in a particular territory, and conflict intensity. Alteration of criteria and their significance will allow us to see how the area of potential conflict zones and conflict intensity change. The model could be applied for identification of potential conflict zones all over Lithuania, and recommendations prepared for western Lithuania could be used in considerably wider spatial contexts. The outcome of the project will assist spatial planning specialists, developers, environmental impacts assessors in choosing the most sustainable solutions for the development of wind power plants and protection of biodiversity. This will ensure a more effective biodiversity protection, lower time and financial costs, and simpler environmental impact assessment process.

In 2008, 4.7 million people in Asia were living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Asia's epidemic peaked in the mid-1990s, and annual HIV incidence has declined since then by more than half. Regionally, the epidemic has remained somewhat stable since 2000.

South Asia
Compared with other regions, notably Africa and the Americas, national HIV prevalence levels in South Asia are very low (0.3% in the adult (15–49) group). However, due to the large populations of many South Asian nations, this low national HIV prevalence still means that many people have HIV.

In South Asia, the HIV epidemic remains largely concentrated in injecting drug users, men who have sex with men, sex workers, clients of sex workers and their immediate sexual partners. Prevention strategies in these populations are, for the most part, inadequate.

Afghanistan

The prevalence of HIV in Afghanistan is 0.04%. According to Afghanistan's National Aids Control Program (NACP), 504 cases of HIV/AIDS were documented in late 2008. By the end of 2012, the number reached 1,327. As of 2015, as many as 6,900 people were living in Afghanistan with HIV and about 300 had died in from the disease.

Bangladesh

With less than 0.1% of the population estimated to be HIV-positive, Bangladesh is a low HIV-prevalence country. UNAIDS estimates that 11,000 people live with HIV in the country.

Bhutan

In 2011, there were 246 reported cases of HIV in Bhutan, representing just over 0.03% of the population. However, Health Ministry sources indicated actual numbers were estimated at more than 500 by UNAIDS.

India

In 2015, the NACO estimated that 2.11 million people live with HIV/AIDS in India. As of 2018, India has the third most people with HIV after South Africa and Nigeria. However, the AIDS prevalence rate in India is lower than many other countries. In 2016, India's AIDS prevalence rate stood at approximately 0.30%, the 80th highest in the world.

Nepal

UNAIDS estimates from 2017 indicate that approximately 375,000 people in Nepal are HIV-positive across all age groups. The Government of Nepal's National Center for AIDS & STD Control (NCASC) estimated that number to be closer to 70,000 in December 2010. A study from 2014 found that the overall national HIV prevalence was 0.20% (adult male 19.28%, adult female 25.13%). According to UNAIDS, by the end of 2018, the number of people living with HIV was 139,000 [34,000–46,000]. NCASC (2019) reports that the estimated number of HIV infections by risk groups is 159,984.

Pakistan

The Pakistan National AIDS Control Program estimated that in 2018, there were a total of 160,000 people living with HIV. However, there are only 39,529 cases of HIV that have been registered with the National AIDS Control Program, of which 22,947 are receiving antiretroviral therapy. The HIV prevalence rate is far higher among people who inject drugs (21.0%) compared to the general population of people aged 15 to 49 (0.1%).

Sri Lanka

East Asia
National HIV prevalence levels in East Asia are much lower (0.1% in the adult (15-49) group) than in much of Africa and the Americas. Similar to South Asian countries, low national HIV prevalence still means that large numbers of people are living with HIV.

China

Much of the current spread of HIV in the People's Republic of China is through intravenous drug abuse and paid sex.  In rural areas, especially in Henan province, large numbers of farmers had contaminated blood transfusions; estimates of those infected are in the tens of thousands.

Japan

Official figures (English) for July–October 2006 showed that just over half of domestic HIV/AIDS cases were among homosexual men, with the remainder transmitted through heterosexual intercourse, drug abuse, in the womb or via unknown means. As of 2015, there had been 17,909 HIV and 8,086 AIDS cases reported in Japan since 1985.

North Korea

According to UNAIDS, less than 0.2% of North Korea's adult population has HIV. WHO estimates that North Korea has less than 100 people with HIV/AIDS. Officially, the country maintains that it is completely free of AIDS.

South Korea
The cumulative reported cases of HIV in South Korea has surpassed 6,000, with 797 reported in 2008.

According to the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the prevalence of HIV in South Korea is rising. The first case of HIV was in 1985. By 2000, the number of people diagnosed with HIV was 219, and this had risen to 797 in 2008. Males had a much higher infection rate. In order to prevent Korean women from contracting HIV, HIV positive males should be detected early on. The most commonly recognized mode of transmission in South Korea is through heterosexual sexual contact.

Due to the lower prevalence of HIV in South Korea, the Korean media has represented HIV as a disease brought to Korea by migrant sex workers from other countries. Any sex workers who plan to stay in South Korea must test for HIV, and if results show they are positive, they are no longer able to stay in the country.

Taiwan

As of March 2016, there were 31,620 reported cases of Taiwanese nationals testing positive for HIV/AIDS. Currently, HIV/AIDS patients who are Taiwanese nationals receive free medical care (including HAART therapies) from the state. Non-governmental organizations have set up "AIDS Half-Way Houses" for homeless patients. The ratio of patients who are drug users has increased rapidly, which has led the authority to promote a harm reduction program.

South-East Asia
National HIV prevalence levels in South-East Asia are very low, at 0.3% in the adult (15-49) group. In Southeast Asia, the HIV epidemic remains largely concentrated in injecting drug users, men who have sex with men, sex workers, and clients of sex workers and their immediate sexual partners. Prevention strategies in these populations are generally inadequate.

Cambodia

Between 2003 and 2005, the estimated HIV prevalence among Cambodian adults aged 15 to 49 declined from 2.0% to 1.6%.

East Timor (Timor-Leste)

Timor-Leste is a low HIV-prevalence country with less than 0.2% of the adult population estimated to be HIV-positive. Forty-three cases of the disease were confirmed in 2007 and are now under treatment, according to the Ministry of Health.

Indonesia

UNAIDS has said that HIV/AIDS in Indonesia is one of Asia's fastest growing epidemics. It was expected that 5 million Indonesians would have HIV/AIDS by 2010. In 2007, Indonesia was ranked 99th in the world by prevalence rate, but because of low understanding of the symptoms of the disease and high social stigma attached to it, only 5–10% of HIV/AIDS sufferers were diagnosed and treated.

Laos

In 2005, UNAIDS estimated that 3,700 people in Lao PDR were living with HIV. Lao PDR currently faces a concentrated epidemic with an adult HIV prevalence of 0.1%.

Malaysia

On World AIDS Day in June 2008, Malaysia reported 82,704 cumulative HIV cases since 1986.

Myanmar

In 2005, the estimated adult HIV prevalence rate in Myanmar was 1.3% (200,000–570,000 people) according to UNAIDS, and early indicators show that the epidemic may be waning in the country, although the epidemic continues to expand in parts of the country. An estimated 20,000 (range between 11,000 and 35,000) die from HIV/AIDS annually.

Philippines

The Philippines has a relatively low incidence of HIV/AIDS. There have been about 2,800 reported cases since 1984, but independent estimates put the number of cases closer to 12,000. The majority (70–75%) of carriers are male, 25–39, and the predominant mode of transmission is through sexual intercourse.

Although the national incidence rate remains relatively low, an independent HIV surveillance study conducted in 2010 by Dr. Louie Mar Gangcuangco and colleagues from the University of the Philippines-Philippine General Hospital showed that out of 406 men having sex with men tested for HIV in Metro Manila, HIV prevalence was at 11.8% (95% confidence interval: 8.7–15.0).

Singapore
The Ministry of Health maintains a confidential registry of HIV positive individuals. The private details of 8,800 foreigners and 5,400 Singaporeans infected with HIV were exposed as a result of improper handling of the data. The details of some 5,400 Singaporeans and permanent residents diagnosed with HIV up to January 2013, and 8,800 foreigners diagnosed up to December 2011 were leaked, by Mikhy Farrera-Brochez, a US citizen. It was in retaliation for Farrera-Brochez being deported from Singapore for falsify documents that granted him work privileges in Singapore and for covering up the fact he has HIV on an application form. He was supplied the details by his, then boyfriend, Ler Teck Siang, a doctor in Singapore. Ler also provided his own blood sample to cover up Farrera-Brochez's HIV status.

Thailand

Around 532,522 Thais were living with HIV/AIDS in 2008.

Vietnam

The UN estimated that there were 290,000 people living with HIV as of 2008.

West Asia

Armenia

Azerbaijan

The Adult prevalence rate was less than 0.2% in 2012, with an estimated 10,400 people living with HIV/AIDS and 65 deaths.

Bahrain

The Adult prevalence rate was estimated at 0.01% in 2016, with fewer than 500 people with HIV/AIDS and fewer than 100 deaths.

Iran

Iraq

Jordan

In 2007, there were an estimated 380,000 people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in the region, according to UNAIDS.

Saudi Arabia

In 2003, the government announced the number of known cases of HIV/AIDS in the country to be 6,700, and over 10,000 in June 2008.

Turkey

According to the United Nations HIV/AIDS Theme Group's 2002 HIV/AIDS Situation Analysis report in Turkey, 7,000–14,000 people had been infected with AIDS since the beginning of the pandemic. The Ministry of Health in June 2002 stated that 1,429 HIV/AIDS cases had been reported since 1985.

United Arab Emirates

Official figures show that 540 people were living with HIV/AIDS by the end of 2006, and the number of recorded new cases was about 35 annually.

"In addition, we clearly understand the unique market dynamics specific to different biosimilars, and the need for tailored commercial approaches. As such, we have organized our pipeline into four therapeutic area franchises: oncology, immunology, ophthalmology and multiple sclerosis. We intend to retain the U.S. commercial rights for our oncology franchise and to seek partnerships for our other franchises."
Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2015 Financial Results
Total revenue for the fourth quarter 2015 was $10.2 million, as compared to $6.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2014. The increase over the same period in 2014 was due to increased recognition in Baxalta collaboration revenue as a result of achieving three development milestones totaling $100.0 million in 2015, including two milestones in the fourth quarter of 2015. Total revenue for the fiscal year 2015 was $30.0 million, as compared to $31.1 million in 2014. The lower revenue for the full year 2015 over the same periods in 2014 was due to the full recognition of a $10.0 million substantive milestone payment from Baxalta earned in third quarter of 2014, in addition to the collaboration and license revenue recognized over the estimated period of the collaboration.
Research and development (R&D) expenses for the fourth quarter 2015 were $51.4 million compared to $26.9 million for the same period in 2014. R&D expenses were $213.1 million in 2015 compared to $78.2 million in 2014. Increases in R&D expenses were mainly attributable to a transition to Phase 3 and Biologics License Application (BLA) enabling studies for CHS-0214, CHS-1420 and CHS-1701, as well as manufacturing efforts to support clinical trial supply and product registration activities. Less impactful were additional costs associated with the preclinical development of second wave product pipeline and personnel expenses.
General and administrative (G&A) expenses for the fourth quarter 2015 were $11.0 million, compared to $6.2 million for the same period in 2014. G&A expenses were $36.0 million in 2015 compared to $17.6 million in 2014. Changes in G&A expenses were mainly attributable to employee-related expenses, legal fees to support the intellectual property strategy, and accounting fees and services related to compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
Net loss attributable to Coherus for the fourth quarter 2015 was $52.4 million, or $1.35 per share, compared to $29.1 million, or $1.47 per share, for the same period in 2014. Net loss attributable to Coherus was $223.3 million, or $6.01 per share, in 2015 compared to $87.1 million, or $10.64 per share, in 2014.
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $158.2 million as of December 31, 2015, compared to $150.4 million as of December 31, 2014.

This patient has had a previous stem cell transplantation, but unfortunately the yield was quite poor.
The crown is often referred to as the 'black hole' since it takes a huge amount of grafts in order to optically make it look good. This has to do with the angle of view between the viewer and the angle of the crown, making skin very visible if the density is not enough.
Our patient had high expectations so we advised 2 separate session in order to achieve a natural looking result that would look full under normal circumstances.
3800 grafts where transplanted over 2 separate session about a year apart (2000 then 1800).
The total area cover was 83 cm2 and this gives a density of 43 grafts per cm2.

Day 22 of my film photograph a day for 2019. This is a film photograph of the Rideau Canal in Ottawa at night. I took this with my medium format Mamiya RZ67 Pro ii film camera. The lens is a Sekor 65mm f4 and the film used was Kodak Ektar 100. A little too cold for my likes in Ottawa right now but the snow certainly adds to the shot.

Hi, I've never done this before and it it's my first time ever posting but i needed some advice. Me and my sons dad split when he was 3 months old and hes now 11 years old. We went to court over my son when he was 11months old and court orders were put in place. These were changed in 2010 and they are now for me to have my son unsupervised overnight one week and thursday til sunday the other week.
Recently me and my new partner who i have been with for 2 and a half years had an arguement where he hit me, it wasnt expected and hes never done anything like this before but due to underlying issues at the time it did happen. It was reported to the police and we have since resolved this issue ourselves. Since the incident happened someone made a call to social services stating i threatened to self harm and overdose while i have my son. I do have mental health problems but my psychiatrist has been asking about finishing my outpatient care as he feels that now i have been off my medication and stable for 3years i no longer need the help i once did.
Obviously the call to social services was a lie, they rang my sons dad to tell him of the complaint. He told me about the call and what was said. He has said about my partner being around our son. Now my partner would never harm my son or do anything that would cause him harm as he loves him like his own children. My sons dad has told me that should my partner come back he will stop my son coming down to my home. I know he will be in breach of the court orders as they state he is to be made available to me on the days stated. What can i do regarding this as i do not want to lose contact with my son over someones lies to social services.


Once You Shellac You Will Never Go Back.
Ever since I read this article in the New York Times and saw this post by The Missus, I have been dying to try the new Shellac (or gel) nail polish. Yesterday, after I referral from I friend, I found out that Lauren's Nails on Charles Street was now offering this new service. After about 10 minutes I decided that once you Shellac you will never go back. Yeah, it really is that good.
Basically it is just like getting your nails done the traditional way, but instead after each coat of polish (applied with a paintbrush) you allow your nails to harden under an ultraviolet light for a few minutes. After 4 coats you have perfectly polished nails that will supposedly stay that way from 2 weeks to up to a month. Yes, a month! There is no waiting for them to dry, no chipping, no smudging, nothing. I walked out of the salon yesterday with these beauties and the promise that they will be looking this way well into June. Not just June, but the middle of June! Um, sold!!
Before I went in I was worried that the final product would look acrylic or plasticy, but they don't. They really do just look like normal, beautiful, perfectly painted nails. With twenty colors to chose from, what is not to love about the shellac.
The price was steep, about 65 dollars, but after doing the math it definitely equals out to what it would cost to do the same mani/pedi every two weeks (and this doesn't account for the time wasted by having to go twice.) The only difference is that this one will stay just as beautiful the whole time.... I hope.
I'll post updates after 2, 3 and hopefully 4 weeks.

For years, residential doorways were pretty basic in terms of style and size. There were a few different ways they could be used to create more variety, but there were no great advances like we have seen in recent years.
Take the basic entrance door – a solid core door that was the first to come in a 3′ or 36″ width. They have come in plain front (called "flush"), raised panel (one to as many as ten), carved for a very personal expression, and with small windows in them. They have come with windows alongside them (on one or both sides) vertically (called "side lights"), and they have come with double doors (covering an opening of 5′-6′ depending on the width of each door).
For interior doors, 36″ widths are now quite common and recommended for maximum accessibility. Not only do they allow wheelchair access except for very wide chairs, they accommodate movement of furniture which can be fairly difficult with narrower openings.
For even wider door openings and even more access, slider doors that pocket or slide across the opening ("barn doors") are being used to create door openings of 8′ or more. Bypass doors (even with mirrors – a great way to provide a full-length mirror experience in the home and supplement the shorter mirrors found above bathroom counters) can be used in 2, 3, and 4 doors of up to 36″ in width to cover a space of up to 12′ in width.
Slider, bypass, and pocket glass doors often variety as well – as do transom glass or openings above doors for architectural interest, light, and ventilation.
In many cases, no physical door is needed at all. In such cases, where just a separation of space and a physical indication of that separation but without an actual door that needs to be opened and closed, a cased opening or archway is a very attractive and practical solution, This offers visual interest and appeal plus allows for very wide openings without being concerned about physical doors being hung in the space and then allowing space for them to be opened.
Doorways and doorway treatments are part of the many building product improvements in recent years (along with flooring, lighting, cabinetry, door hardware, appliances, bath fixtures, countertops, and controls, among others) that have facilitated universal design and aging-in-place solutions.

Q: Javascript - is image rgb or rgba I'm rewriting my opengl program from c++ to webgl/js.
In my c++ code I ust stb_image to parse images from file. As one of the options, I could get the depth of an image, so I always know is it RGB or RGBA. This allowed me to load textures with the required parameters (took from learnopengl.com):
int width, height, nrComponents;
unsigned char *data = stbi_load(path, &width, &height, &nrComponents, 0);
if (data)
{
    GLenum format;
    if (nrComponents == 1)
        format = GL_RED;
    else if (nrComponents == 3)
        format = GL_RGB;
    else if (nrComponents == 4)
        format = GL_RGBA;

    glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, textureID);
    glTexImage2D(GL_TEXTURE_2D, 0, format, width, height, 0, format, GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE, data);

Is there some method in js, that can return the nrComponents for an image?
For example, if I use that code:
function LoadTexture2D(filename)
{
    var texID;
        texID = gl.createTexture();
        img = new Image();
        img.getColorModel
        img.onload = function () { handleTextureLoaded(img, texID)};
        img.src = filename;

    }

    function handleTextureLoaded(image, texture) {
        var format = 0;
        gl.bindTexture(gl.TEXTURE_2D, texture);
        if (image.getDepth()==3)
        format = gl.RGB;
        if (image.getDepth()==4)
        format = gl.RGBA;
        gl.texImage2D(gl.TEXTURE_2D, 0, format, format,gl.UNSIGNED_BYTE, image);
        gl.texParameteri(gl.TEXTURE_2D, gl.TEXTURE_MAG_FILTER,gl.LINEAR);
        gl.texParameteri(gl.TEXTURE_2D, gl.TEXTURE_MIN_FILTER, gl.LINEAR_MIPMAP_NEAREST);
        gl.generateMipmap(gl.TEXTURE_2D);
        gl.bindTexture(gl.TEXTURE_2D, null);
    }

Is there something like getDepth(); ?


My next project... Okay. By the way background music should be comic strip by the ghost of a saber tooth tiger... Because it's ridiculous and fun and ties in with my next project.
Then this is the version I made for my friend, notice the careful planning to centralize the logo! And I couldn't help myself... I wanted to add the bright accents to make the comic book feel more present in the yoke but subtle.

Windows 11 for Enterprise | Revolutionizing the Modern End-User Desktop Experience
Sean Connelly
Windows 11 is now available and is optimized for hybrid collaboration, end-user productivity, and security - bringing value and reducing risks to organizations.
Windows 11 is Now Available
As of October 5, 2021, the free upgrade to Windows 11 began rolling out to eligible Windows 10 PCs, and PCs that come pre-loaded with Windows 11 are available for purchase. Business users are able to treat this like other Windows 10 feature updates. Microsoft expects all eligible devices to be offered the free upgrade to Windows 11 by mid-2022.
If you have a Windows 10 PC (for home users) eligible for the upgrade, Windows Update will let you know when it's available. You can also check to see if Windows 11 is ready for your device by going to Settings > Windows Update and selecting Check for updates. Feature updates for Windows 11 are now changing to annual instead of Windows 10 twice-annual schedule. Windows 10 will still be supported and receive monthly security updates during this transition. Windows 10 will exit support on October 14, 2025. Windows 11 requirements have changed – notably, a TPM 2.0 hard requirement, only 64 Bit OS support, and a minimum of 64 GB storage is needed.

The Aylesmore Court estate comprises 100 acres of pasture land and grounds with a selection of properties including the beautiful farmhouse with its attached walled garden.
The client required Incastone to complete repairs and significant repointing work on the walled garden with its 200 metres of early 19th century stone walls.
The walls were repaired and repointed using a hydraulic lime mortar in the traditional method. The mix consisted of 3 parts gravel, 0.75 sand, 1 part lime.
Firstly we scraped back loose and worn mortar to a depth of 10-15cm, then soaked the wall and left the area to partly dry before the new mortar was pointed in. After a few days the pointing was brushed back using a wire brush and then smoothed off using a soft nylon brush.
The wall was then protected from sun, wind and frost with a layer of hessian cloth for up to 4-6 months. During sunny days the hessian is soaked to reduce moisture loss from the mortar and in cold weather the wall is covered with old carpet to protect from frost.
Incastone repaired large sections of wall that had suffered from ivy infestation, tree growth and neglect and replaced the coping stones to bring the walls back to their original splendour.
We have finished this job for the winter as it is not advisable to work with lime mortars below 5°C. We will return in March 2009 to continue the project.
The beautiful farmhouse at Aylesmore Court set in 100 acres of countryside.
We first tackled the smaller walls nearest the house.
We had to remove all ivy and plant material before racking out aged mortar to a depth of 2-3 inches.
We then pointed the walls with a traditional hydraulic lime mortar mix consisting of 2 parts gravel, 0.75 sand, 1 part lime.
Once the walls are pointed and repaired, they are covered in damp hessian. This keeps the moisture locked in, protects from the sun and frost and stops them drying too fast.
After a drying period the mortar is brushed back with a wire brush then a soft nylon brush to give a smooth finish.
Lastly the coping stones, some weighing over 75kg, are laid. We used long wooden planks to slide them onto the wall before mortaring them into place.
We removed the hessian after 2-3 months and the walled garden is now looking as it might have done over 200 years ago.

Schilling Fined for Camera Hit
Arizona Diamondback pitcher Curt Schilling was fined about $15,000 by major league baseball Monday for destroying a camera used to evaluate umpires.
Schilling smashed part of the QuesTec Umpire Evaluation System on May 24 during a home loss to the San Diego Padres and said umpires have told him they are changing their strike zones to match the machine.
"He was fined the cost of the camera, and then there was a fine imposed on the disciplinary side," said Bob Watson, vice president of on-field operations in the commissioner's office.
Schilling plans to appeal. He said what he did was "immature," but he hasn't changed his mind about the QuesTec system.
"The process doesn't work," he said. "QuesTec itself, the actual machines, I'm sure they work. But machines don't call the balls and strikes. The umpires do. The process by which this was integrated into Major League Baseball is horribly flawed."
The San Diego Padres signed reliever Rod Beck and sent right-handed starter Charles Nagy to triple-A Portland of the Pacific Coast League.
Beck was released by the Chicago Cubs on May 31 despite going 1-1 with an 0.59 earned-run average in 21 appearances for triple-A Iowa. He sat out last season while recovering from reconstructive elbow surgery.
The 34-year-old right-hander last pitched in the major leagues with the Boston Red Sox in 2001, when he was 6-4 with a 3.90 ERA and six saves in 68 games.
Beck has a 35-41 record with 266 saves and a 3.28 ERA in 11 major league seasons.
Dwight Gooden, currently a special advisor for the New York Yankees, will be the pitching coach this summer for the team's rookie league club in the Gulf Coast League.

AROUND OREGON
AROUND OREGON: Bootleg Fire continues explosive growth, new evacuations ordered
Weather conditions helped accelerate the nation's biggest wildfire, burning through forest and grasslands northeast of Klamath Falls.
By Klamath Falls Herald and News
July 20, 2021 at 7:00am
KLAMATH FALLS - The nation's largest wildfire torched more dry forest in Oregon and forced the evacuation of a wildlife research station Monday as firefighters had to retreat from the flames for the ninth consecutive day due to erratic and dangerous fire behavior.
Firefighters were forced to pull back as flames, pushed by winds and fueled by bone-dry conditions, jumped fire-retardant containment lines and pushed up to 4 miles into new territory, authorities said.
The destructive Bootleg Fire grew to more than 476 square miles, an area about the size of Los Angeles.
Fire crews were also rushing to corral multiple "slop fires" — patches of flames that escaped fire lines meant to contain the blaze — before they grew in size. One of those smaller fires was already nearly 4 square miles in size. Thunderstorms with dry lightning were possible Monday as well, heightening the dangers.
"We are running firefighting operations through the day and all through the night," said Joe Hessel, incident commander. "This fire is a real challenge, and we are looking at sustained battle for the foreseeable future."
On Monday, the fire reached the southern edge of Sycan Marsh, a privately owned wetland that hosts thousands of migrating birds and is a key research station on wetland restoration.
The blaze, which was 25% contained, has burned at least 67 homes and 100 buildings while threatening thousands more in a remote landscape of forests, lakes and wildlife refuges.
As of Monday, it was 343,755 acres in size and firefighters had 25 percent containment. More than 2,100 personnel are on site fighting the fire.
A fire slop over across the 28 Road is estimated to be over 2,500 acres in the Elder Creek area.
On the north edge, firefighters disengaged when the fire aggressively moved past retardant lines three to four miles north toward Long Creek.
Fire activity on the Log Fire was lessened by heavy smoke cover and firefighters were successful in limiting southeast growth toward Summer Lake with dozer lines.
The southeast flank of the fire from Preacher Flats to Mitchell Monument remains in patrol status. More firefighters have shifted to the north to support fire efforts near Silver Lake.
Firefighter separated from crew; recovered in good health
A firefighter became separated from his crew while working on the Bootleg Fire in Lake County overnight Sunday night. The incident occurred when the fire crew was working on containing spot fires in the Happy Camp area.
Crew members reported the individual as missing at 6:30 p.m. Sunday.
The Zone 1 Incident Management Team immediately initiated a search mission. Incident aircraft and other resources were dispatched to help with the search. An incident helicopter spotted the firefighter at 8:20 pm but could not locate an adequate landing zone. Another firefighting crew joined in the search and located the separated firefighter.
Lake County Sheriff's personnel also responded to the area and assisted with the search operation and extraction of the individual. The Rapid Extraction Module — a highly skilled and specially equipped team used to provide emergency medical services and extraction to firefighters on the line — was dispatched and assisted in the transport.
The firefighter was in good spirits and was able to hike to the road to a waiting ambulance, according to fire crews. Medical personnel transported the crew member to Lakeview Hospital for further medical evaluation.
Fire crews from Marion County, formed into Task Force 16, were relieved Saturday, July 17, from service on the Bootleg Fire. The local fire teams were assigned to protect houses and other structures and had been on duty since July 7. This photo from the scene is by Ryan Russell, Keizer Fire District division chief.
Recently, air quality in the Klamath Basin has drastically improved, and unless a new fire sprouts up somewhere nearby, current weather forecasts are showing Klamath Falls is in good shape when it comes to wildfire smoke blowing into the area.
Marc Spilde, a meteorologist from the National Weather Service in Medford, said given current conditions on the ground, Klamath Falls is due for little or no smoke in the air. Any smoke that does drift into the area will most likely come at night or the early morning, Spilde said. However, Spilde is cautiously optimistic when it comes to smoke, given things can change on a dime.
"Smoke is not an easy thing to forecast, it is dependent upon the wind and how much smoke the fire is outputting," Spilde said.
Previously, the basin was a hot, smoky mess during the Lava, Tennant and Salt fires that burned in northern California, but now that those fires are largely contained and fizzling out, the Bootleg Fire is the major smoke producer, Spilde said.
There are also a couple of smaller fires burning in northern California and to the southeast in Reno, but most of the smoke is coming from the Bootleg to the northeast.
The northeast position of the fire, in conjunction with a south southwestern wind, is pushing all the smoke to the north and the east, creating smokey and unhealthy air quality for communities in that area.
"At this point the air quality advisory will be for Lake County," Valeree Lane, public information officer at Klamath County Public Health said.
Lane said that as of this morning, the Oregon Health Authority has yet to record any spikes in hospital or clinic visits due to smokey conditions.
Tom Hottman, public information officer at Sky Lakes Medical Center, said currently there has not been any apparent increase in emergency visits to the hospital due to the lower air quality.
While air quality is expected to remain moderate for Klamath Falls, Sprague River, and Chiloquin, places like Paisley and Silver Lake will experience extremely unhealthy air quality, Lane said.
Lane suggested that, if possible, people in areas with unhealthy air quality, should seek cleaner air spaces.
Klamath County Public Health has organized a list of "cleaner air-cooling centers" around the county for residents to get some relief from the smoke. The centers are listed as follows:
Klamath County Library, Klamath County Fairgrounds, KlamatH Falls Senior Center and libraries in Bly, Bonanza, Chemult, Chiloquin, Gilchrist, Keno, Malin, Merrill, South Suburban and Sprague River.
As far as preparing for decreased air quality and smokey days as fire season progresses, Lane said Klamath County Public Health suggests drinking lots of water, and to use filtration devices at home. If a filtration device is not an option, Lane suggested improvising by duct taping a heating air filter to an inexpensive box fan. Instructional videos on how to fashion an improvised air filtration device, click the link here, and here.
"This is an event that we will be dealing with for an extended period of time," Lane said. "Just because we haven't seen it yet, doesn't mean we won't see it."
Meteorologists predicted critically dangerous fire weather with lightning possible through at least Monday in both California and southern Oregon.
"With the very dry fuels, any thunderstorm has the potential to ignite new fire starts," the National Weather Service in Sacramento, California, said on Twitter.
Extremely dry conditions and heat waves tied to climate change have swept the region, making wildfires harder to fight. Climate change has made the West much warmer and drier in the past 30 years and will continue to make weather more extreme and wildfires more frequent and destructive.
Firefighters said in July they were facing conditions more typical of late summer or fall.

Hello. The purpose of this thread is to allow everyone to make themselves less visible on the Internet by having the same exact set of extensions and addons that help form the browser fingerprint as recognized by Panopticlick.
So first we should look at what Panopticlick finds.
Disregard the "number of bits" and instead look at "one in x browsers have this value" and then find the biggest numbers. Usually the "Browser Plugin Details" and "Fonts" are the largest by far.
So since there is nothing that can be done to fix the Fonts problem without messing up the entire system, let's instead focus on the Browser Plugin Details.
Now. That is the list of extensions I have for this profile. Plugins are still a problem.
All plugins that can be set to "Ask to Activate" should be.
Any suggestions to make this more useful and private?
Or just spoof all the details to something that's widely used.
If you have a suggestion as to how to achieve this, I and many others are greatly interested. I am aware of the Random Agent Spoofer extension, but that will not work for anything beyond a surface examination of the browser.
In the article I posted you can read in the last words: User Agent Switcher.
But, anyway, if you are so worried, why don´t you use Tails live cd, or Tor over VPN?.
Allow it with noScript if you run it.
Take note of all the details. User agent, operating system ect.
So in firefox go to about:config - right click and choose create new string.
The settings above are just generalized. If anyone has the time to figure out what the most widely used settings are feel free to post them. Or if anyone has windows 10 and is running a stock firefox 40 I would love to see the results from browserleaks.
Most people I know doing this are on bsd or linux because those fingerprints stick out like a sore thumb.
And a quick warning about Random Agent Spoofer is if you uninstall it all the settings it changes get reset to stock firefox settings.
components like TorButton and TorLauncher.
lack so many profiles and settings, like the full Firefox 40 clone.
If you want to go even further you can clone the TBB git, find the function for the screen resolution and hard code it to another most common desktop OS one.
Don't forget to harden your favorite script blocker on top of that when you are done.
disabled explicitely via about:config. Last month there was a 0day bug in it which allowed file stealing.
This ^ is something I would like to find. Gonna have to look for it.
RaS is nice, I used the git version for a while. But less is more imo but its definitely the fastest and easiest route.
