AYUSH-64 – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
HomeAll Posts...AYUSH-64 – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
AYUSH-64 is an Ayurvedic formulation which was developed by the Central Council for
Research in Ayurvedic Sciences (CCRAS), the apex body for research in Ayurveda under
the Ministry of Ayush, for management of Malaria. This drug was repurposed as the
ingredients showed notable antiviral, immune-modulator and antipyretic properties. The
in-silico study done on AYUSH-64 showed that about 35 out of 36 of its Phyto-constituents
have high binding affinity against COVID 19 virus. The formulation has also shown very
promising results in Influenza like illness. With the scientific evidence generated from 06
clinical studies across India, AYUSH-64 has been identified as a potential adjunct to
standard care in the management of asymptomatic, mild and moderate COVID-19 to
improve the clinical recovery and quality of life.
2) Who can take AYUSH-64?
It can be taken by patients at any stage of the COVID-19 disease. However, its scientific
efficacy was scientifically studied in asymptomatic, mild and moderate disease without
risk factors for poor outcome and those not requiring emergency interventions or
hospitalization are eligible to take Ayush-64. Mild to moderate COVID-19 cases showing
initial symptoms like fever, malaise, body ache, nasal congestion, nasal discharge,
headache, cough etc. and asymptomatic cases of COVID-19 can preferably start
AYUSH- 64 within 7 days of diagnosis of the disease through RT-PCR for better outcome.

the Ministry of Ayush. It has been scientifically found to be useful in the treatment of
asymptomatic, mild and moderate COVID-19 infection as an adjunct to standard care
through robust clinical trials conducted in the country. The results of the clinical trials
demonstrated that AYUSH-64 as an adjunct to standard of care (SoC) showed clinically
significant improvement and thus lesser period of hospitalization as compared to SoC
5) What is the ideal dose for AYUSH-64 in COVID-19 patients?
The dose for asymptomatic COVID-19 case is 2 tablets of 500 mg twice daily one hour
after meals with warm water for 14 days. The dose for mild to moderate cases is 2 tablets

A test drive with 400 grammes of Dyna Beads in each of the front tubes has returned an inconclusive result. On the negative side, there is still a wobble; on the positive side it's not as pronounced.
Whereas before, the wobble would be prominent at between 47mph and 51mph, adding Dyna Beads means it is now (on the basis of only one test drive) only evident in a narrower speed band - perhaps 49/50mph.
I have e-mailed the chaps in the know at Dyna Beads to ask if this is a known phenomenon and whether tweaking the 'dosage' might eradicate the wobble once and for all.
PS During the test drive I gave it some beans and got up to 57mph on a slight downhill with no trace of instability.

Milan welcomes Dudelange
Milan welcomes F91 Dudelange in a game from Group F of Europa League. This match is going to be played at the Stadio San Siro on Thursday night. Let's take a look at it in our vip soccer bets for today.
At this moment Milan are second in the group with 7 points, being just one point behind the leader Real Betis and on par with the third Olympiakos. The Italian team is in a good position to chase a qualification for the knockout phase of the tournament, but they have to beat their opponent from Luxembourg. If they don't, things will become pretty hard for them.
When Milan and Dudelange met in Luxembourg in September, the Rossoneri achieved a difficult 1-0 win. The only goal in the game was scored by Gonzalo Higuain in the second half.
In their last game in the group Milan made a 1-1 draw during the visit to Real Betis in Spain. Giovani Lo Celso opened the score for the Andalusians, but Suso equalized for Milan after the halftime break.
Dudelange are the outsiders in this group, being without a single point won in their first four matches. The club from Luxembourg suffered four consecutive defeats and they have a goal difference of 1-11.
In their last game Dudelange suffered a heavy 1-5 defeat during the visit to Olympiakos in Greece. Daniel Sinani scored Dudelange's only goal in the game. The Luxembourgians were totally outperformed by their opponent, so this result was not surprising at all.
These are our vip soccer bets for today for the Europa League clash between Milan and F91 Dudelange at the Stadio San Siro in Milan. The Rossoneri are the clear favourite here. They are facing the weakest team in the group and they shall not have any problems.

Winnipeg at New Jersey: Devils Kick Off Six-Game Homestand Against Jets
By AJ Manderichio Jan 17, 2012, 2:43pm EST
Share All sharing options for: Winnipeg at New Jersey: Devils Kick Off Six-Game Homestand Against Jets
The New Jersey Devils are finally coming home. After a four game road trip, including three games in Western Canada, the Devils return home for a six day homestand. They kick it off Tuesday night against the Winnipeg Jets at 7 p.m. on MSG.
New Jersey went 3-1-0 on their recent road trip, allowing just three total goals in the victory. They enter tonight sixth in the Eastern Conference, two points behind the Philadelphia Flyers and Ottawa Senators for a tie of fourth place.
Head coach Peter DeBoer said that his team can't take their foot off the gas.
"We just need to keep winning," DeBoer told Rich Chere of The Star Ledger. "You see this league, you take your foot off the gas for a weekend, let along a six-game homestand, and you'll be at the bottom looking up pretty quickly. We're doing some good things, putting some points in the bank on a regular bases and we need to continue to do that."
New Jersey will play the second game of a home-and-home with Winnipeg tonight. The Devils have won two of three meetings this season, including a 2-1 win Saturday. Trailing 1-0 heading into the third period, Kurtis Foster and Patrik Elias scored 2:58 apart for the comeback win. That gave New Jersey two straight wins heading back to Prudential Center, where they're 11-7-1 this season.
Winnipeg blanked the Ottawa Senators, 2-0, yesterday in Ottawa. Jim Slater and Tobias Enstrom scored goals, and Chris Mason stopped 25 shots for his second shutout of the season. The win broke the Jets three-game losing streak and moved within three points of both the Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins for the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference.
Despite their success on the road, Brodeur knows his team needs to fight complacency.
"It's always tough when you come back from a big road trip," he told Chere. "Complacency usually sets in. We have to be aware of that."

Imprint: Penguin
Friedrich Nietzsche's most accessible and influential philosophical work, misquoted, misrepresented, brilliantly original and enormously influential, Thus Spoke Zarathustra is translated from the German by R.J. Hollingdale in Penguin Classics.
Nietzsche was one of the most revolutionary and subversive thinkers in Western philosophy, and Thus Spoke Zarathustra remains his most famous and influential work. It describes how the ancient Persian prophet Zarathustra descends from his solitude in the mountains to tell the world that God is dead and that the Superman, the human embodiment of divinity, is his successor. Nietzsche's utterance 'God is dead', his insistence that the meaning of life is to be found in purely human terms, and his doctrine of the Superman and the will to power were all later seized upon and unrecognisably twisted by, among others, Nazi intellectuals. With blazing intensity and poetic brilliance, Nietzsche argues that the meaning of existence is not to be found in religious pieties or meek submission to authority, but in an all-powerful life force: passionate, chaotic and free.
Frederich Nietzsche (1844-1900) became the chair of classical philology at Basel University at the age of 24 until his bad health forced him to retire in 1879. He divorced himself from society until his final collapse in 1899 when he became insane. A powerfully original thinker, Nietzsche's influence on subsequent writers, such as George Bernard Shaw, D.H. Lawrence, Thomas Mann and Jean-Paul Sartre, was considerable.
If you enjoyed Thus Spoke Zarathustra you might like Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil, also available in Penguin Classics.
'Enigmatic, vatic, emphatic, passionate, often breathtakingly insightful, his works together make a unique statement in the literature of European ideas'
Pub date: 1 August 1978
The philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche was born in Prussia in 1844. After the death of his father, a Lutheran minister, Nietzsche was raised from the age of five by his mother in a household of women. In 1869 he was appointed Professor of Classical Philology at the University of Basel, where he taught until 1879 when poor health forced him to retire. He never recovered from a nervous breakdown in 1889 and died eleven years later.
Known for saying that 'god is dead,' Nietzsche propounded his metaphysical construct of the superiority of the disciplined individual (superman) living in the present over traditional values derived from Christianity and its emphasis on heavenly rewards. His ideas were appropriated by the Fascists, who turned his theories into social realities that he had never intended.

LONDON (Reuters) - South African Kevin Anderson raised the bar at the ATP Finals with a 6-0 6-1 drubbing of Kei Nishikori he described as one of the best performances of his career on Tuesday.
There is nothing flashy about the 32-year-old but after winning his first four sets at the O2 Arena with exemplary tennis it would be a mistake to rule him out of claiming the title at the first time of asking.
Nishikori is the world number nine and on Sunday beat six-times champion Roger Federer in straight sets.
Yet he was comprehensively outplayed by the six-foot-eight-inch Anderson, who came within one game of equalling Federer's 6-0 6-0 thrashing of Gaston Gaudio in 2005 — still the only 'double bagel' in the 48-year history of the tournament.
"Amongst the best I've played," Anderson told reporters when asked to rate his 64-minute masterclass.
"Getting off to a really good start. I think I did a really good job constantly applying the pressure and not letting up.
Even when a set and 3-0 to the good, however, Anderson said he never relaxed.
"Sometimes it's tough if you have a very dominating set, you often see scorelines that momentum can change," he said.
"Even going up 3-0 in the second set, hypothetically he holds and then gets a break. It almost works against you some ways if you have a really good lead.
Anderson served down 10 aces during his victory, winning the first 11 games before Nishikori got on the scoreboard.
He said afterwards that for each ace he served he would donate $100 to the Los Angeles Fire Department currently battling deadly blazes in California in which 42 people have lost their lives and many are missing.

Future of Media: Same Goals, New Tech

When we hosted FUSE: The Convergence of Technology & Media a few weeks ago and I soaked in the latest innovations in artificial intelligence, augmented reality, and mobile content, I was struck with the realization that the industry hasn't changed all that much. Don't get me wrong: there has been change. The business has transformed with the rise of the internet and the glut of content available at consumers' fingertips, but the aim of publishing remains the same. Publishers must still deliver meaningful content to their readers and connect those readers with the right advertisers.
While technology has completely disrupted the market, it also enables publishers to gather richer audience data, deliver highly-personalized content to reader interests, and drive greater engagement. With more granular user insight, publishers can deliver more qualified audiences to their advertisers.
The imperative to create valuable and focused content is greater than ever. FUSE conference chair Jeffrey Litvack made that abundantly clear in his opening keynote. He observed that publishers are increasingly competing with Google and Facebook for digital advertising revenue, and are losing the battle. Publishers can't beat these tech giants on scale or reach, but they can compete on engagement and rich first-party data. That level of engagement has value to advertisers. Litvack cited a recent comScore study, which reported that ads on publishers' sites are 51% more effective at driving consumer actions than ads on non-publishers sites. Advertisers benefit from being adjacent to valuable, relevant content.
Publishers at FUSE tackled the issue of creating value for readers and advertisers in a number of ways. Forbes Media, for example, focused on personalization. Forbes CTO Michael Dugan told attendees how the publisher partnered with an artificial intelligence solutions provider to recommend stories to readers based on their past behavior. Dugan said that he wants to move past recommending the most popular content, which isn't always the most valuable to readers or advertisers. Forbes' recommendation algorithm takes into account readers' preferences for headlines, images, video, along with the content's subject matter. The algorithm also pulls in Forbes BrandVoice content and drives readers toward sponsored content that aligns with their interests.
Another way publishers are adding greater value to their content is focusing on timeliness. Horse racing enthusiast brand Daily Racing Form offered a powerful case study. Chief digital officer and chief marketing officer Todd Unger explained that Daily Racing Form readers wanted more data that would inform their horse race betting and increase their winnings. That led the site to publish real-time updates prior to horse races, using a new CMS that allowed reporters at the racetrack to post updates in a matter of minutes. The content, though not entirely different from what the Daily Racing Form offered previously online, had more value because it was delivered at the right time for readers to improve their bets.
Time Inc. is upping the value of its advertising inventory by investing in technology that gives the publishers a holistic view of its reader data and using that information to deliver more targeted ad campaigns. This year Time Inc. acquired the ad tech company Viant, which owns Myspace and its database of several million registered users. That database provides Time Inc. with invaluable first-party data that, when combined with its own subscription database, allows the publisher to track reader activity across its brands and platforms. Viant's programmatic technology also empowers Time Inc. to deliver ads to its registered users even when they visit non-Time Inc. properties. EVP of business development Erik Moreno said that using Viant's technology has empowered Time Inc. to show an advertiser exactly who has viewed and clicked their ad and what those readers did after seeing that ad. In some cases, Time Inc. can track reader activity up to the point of purchase and directly tie the campaign to ROI. That's how Time Inc. is providing value to its advertisers and justifying higher CPMs.
What is possible in today's publishing world is astonishing and in many ways daunting. There's still a long way for publishers to go and a lot to learn. I heard plenty of publishers at FUSE say, "I don't have the answers, but this is what we've tried." A willingness to experiment was the jumping off point of many of the success stories shared at FUSE. But guiding that willingness to experiment was a singular goal: to create great content that serves a unique and highly-engaged audience.
Check out some of the highlights from FUSE in the video below.

Short on Time? –> Just visit the photos.
Saturday Aug. 19th, 1967 442 miles (711 km) over 16.5 hours.
Just past Morro Bay, fog permitting, we would begin ~140 miles (225 km) of awesome scenery.
In the MGB, the twisting and turning, rising and dipping road was a driver's delight, and sightseer's dream … all along the rocky cliffs of the coast, with spectacular views, unusual variations of vegetation, birds, and sea life the likes of which we'd rarely seen before.
Rt. 1 passes inland for about 12 miles (20 km) at Big Sur, where there are a few rustic lodgings, food opportunities, and a rare gas station. At 11:45 AM, we fueled up here amongst the coastal redwood trees, had a few hamburgers, and continued exploring the now sunny coast. With cameras in hand, Tom and I would often descend to the water's edge, and climb 50 or 75 foot (15 -22 m) outcroppings.
We had most of the pathways and climbs to ourselves, but some, like this proved to be an explorer's paradise.
Note there are three people in this image.
Frequently, the sand was very different from the New Jersey Shore: NO FOOT PRINTS!
In minutes, it was clear (no pun intended) that low lying, fast moving fog was obscuring parts of the cityscape and we were headed for it. Rt. 101 would soon assume city street persona complete with an unexpected chill as we followed its signs towards the GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE. Naïve to west coast weather patterns, the quick change from hot 90's to 60's (F) – sun-burn lotion to sweatshirts – was a un-expected.
Parking near the south end of the enormous suspension bridge, we actually couldn't see much of it. In fact, possibly as a result of the fog being sooo dense, just maybe …, we didn't see the little turnstile and coin slot right in front of us, with its little sign …, its annoying little sign, right there demanding $.10! We thought…"WHAT?" and unashamedly hopped over it to begin our long walk across the bridge. Our despicable actions may have been related to all our money being a quarter mile back, in the car!
As the fog occasionally thinned, we could see the water and ships below. The height above water at center span is 270' (82 m.) In shorts and sweatshirts, it was freezing up there and returning to the MGB, we put its top up for warmth.
The two towers of the Golden Gate Bridge are ~750' (227m) above sea level, but you could hardly see them today!
Note: The bridge was our furthest point west, 2568 miles (4133 km ) as the crow flies, but 4295 miles (6912 km) in the MGB.
Driving through the northeastern part the city with fun steep streets, interesting houses and neighborhoods, and the Marina district – brought us to Fisherman's Wharf with its sea lion covered docks, boats, trendy seafood restaurants and people.
Near there, we rode the Powell/Hyde cable car up and down the streets through part of the city and back. The San Francisco Cable Cars are a treasured step back in time, offering transportation and tourist wonderment in a city of engaging architecture and hills, cut terrace-like to accommodate the grid streets. Lyrics from Tony Bennett's "I Left My Heart in San Francisco," and even the "Rice a Roni" jingle ran through my head.
The sounds of the clanging bells and clanking wheels over the tracks; the semi-open wooden and steel cars; and the playful antics of the "driver" pulling on the long lever in the middle of the car to brake, or engage the cable below the street … was magical. And then there was the turntable at the end of the line!
It's about 4 miles from Fisherman's Wharf to the Haight/Ashbury district. Commanding so much attention in recent months, we wanted to see what the "movement," and hippie counter-culture was all about, and extend our LA experience from last night. Scott McKenzie's song and lyrics: "If you go to 'San Francisco' be sure to wear a flower in your hair … you're sure to find some friendly people there," proved to be just that. It was a mecca of quiet, peaceful but raggedly, long haired young people; some sitting confidently on stoops, or wandering – drifting along Haight Street between Ashbury and Golden State Park a half mile west; and some looking – well, a little lost within themselves. Tom was behind the wheel as we slowly followed the endless stream of cars, even casually being approached several times by guys coming up to our little car with offers to buy, or sell grass or pot, or what-ever.
We parked by a diner near the park, and after covering up against the cold and damp night air, walked back a few blocks encountering occasional street musicians, and orators; then others just sitting and seemingly contemplating something (or nothing.) Some were sleeping, – just there, wrapped up against the cold, misty air. Small shops sold household goods, some sold psychedelic paraphernalia, some gave out free coffee. I bought a hand made straw daisy for $.75, and it would adorn the MGB and go back to New Jersey.
Overhearing conversations, the hippies seemed to be here for a hundred reasons; and also for only one: to express a want for social and political change in light of changing attitudes, and the troubling, ongoing Viet Nam war. PEACE AND LOVE? Here? Now? No doubt. But it was also sort of soft veneer, and of all the places, this was probably its epicenter. Of note, there was little, if any, visual police presence.
Hunger brought us into the diner, and cheeseburgers fit the bill. We felt gluttonous.
After 2 hours in the district, it was 10:45 PM, PDT, and we were worn down and tired, but decided to head out of the city to a warmer and drier climate for the night. Soon we were across the San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge, heading east. Two and a half hours and 135 miles later, at 1:30 AM, we stopped and slept on the banks of the Tuolumne River, about 28 miles east of Modesto, California.
You passed within two miles of the brand new house we moved into in 1973. You were probably driving on the old Hiway 50 through Hayward to Livermore and beyond. Nowadays there's the I-580 freeway, built in the 1980s. Crow Canyon Road begins at the freeway in Castro Valley and meanders in a northeasterly direction to San Ramon. We're still living in that same house but in 1967 I was living and working in Oakland and on our hill overlooking Crow Canyon was nothing but grass and trees and an old dirt bike trail.
Thanks again Sherri. I would love to spend a lot more time along the coast (and maybe we will.) Doing this project has practically transported me there again. We are thinking about starting in SF and working our way North in the not to distant future. There is so much to see and do!
For me, travel for pleasure has always been about the journey, and appreciation of the adventure. That, along with the slides, trip notes and follow-up review afterward, have helped incite lasting memories of the those impressions. Doing this project has had a remarkable capacity to fill in many of the gaps, aspects rarely, if ever thought of over the years. It substantiates my belief that we all hold a great deal in our sub-conscious throughout our lives, a treasure trove which can be accessed with the right key: a companion at the time, – a photo, writings, maps, and in this case the immersive aspect of doing a project like this blog. You will have it too, aided by preservation of your images and writings.
Still like that song (it's in my playlist), although I was not a part of the movement in any sense of the word.
Wow, that fog is something. Almost alive. Love the photos after it, flowers and water, esp.

Hartford athletes sue in attempt to block move to DIII
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A group of athletes and student managers at the University of Hartford has filed a federal lawsuit in attempt to block the school from downgrading its athletic programs from Division I to Division III.
The lawsuit, filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court, argues the school is breaking promises made to the athletes when they were recruited to Hartford, including that "they would be able to participate in a Division I athletic program for up to five years."
The university's Board of Regents voted in May to make the transition to Division III after a consultant's report concluded the move could save the school more than $9 million a year.
The school, which joined Division I in the mid-1980s, plans to submit a formal request to the NCAA for reclassification in January 2022. It plans to stop offering athletic scholarships before the 2023-24 school year and hopes to complete the transition by Sept. 1, 2025.
The school has said it plans to honor all current scholarships and coaching contracts. It issued a statement Wednesday saying it is reviewing the lawsuit but is confident that the decision to move to DIII "is in the best long-term interest of our students and the institution."
Lawyers for the seven athletes and two student managers named in the suit argue the board and school President Gregory Woodward relied on inaccurate and misleading information in making their decision.
They allege the consultant overestimated the costs associated with running a DI program and underestimated the costs of a DIII program, saying the savings would be $1 million, not the $9 million estimated in the report. They also argue the consultant's report ignored the fact that it will take seven years to fully transition the school.
The decision has been the subject of several protests on campus and Woodward was forced to leave a commencement ceremony in May after being interrupted by boos and jeers.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified monetary damages and a permanent injunction that would block the move.

Gentlemen, Being it is still winter here where I live, I have not did any reload testing yet because the shooting range is closed.But my observation of this protect for reloading and shooting should be just great. I for see no problem,s.
Just fine if you prefer plain lead.
I went with the polymer instead. Polymer showed slight better accuracy in my BB steel, (very small sample size). I also prefer less smoke with polymer and, less leading, I think. However, many like plain lead, and these look pretty.
We don't even own a .450" Sizing Die. Our sizing dies come from the factory certified to be properly sized. See below. Our guess is that a digital caliper was used that was not accurate. We check our dial calipers against known drill sizes to verify accuracy. We never use digital ones as we find them very inconsistent.
Excellent service. Very nice bullets. The poly coated bullets shoot great.
Best Darn Bullets Money can buy.
Great bullets,loaded well, shot well,I plan on buying more,thank you.
Bullets look great, have not loaded or shot them, if they shoot as good as they look 5 stars.

Announcing End of Support of pre-5.0 Versions
Petr Palas — Nov 8, 2012
Please read this blog post containing important information about the upcoming end of support of all Kentico CMS versions prior to Version 5.0.
Update: We're very sorry if you received an e-mail showing incorrect information about your projects running pre-5.0 version. We've already sent a corrected e-mail to those who are affected by the end of support.
Providing outstanding support has always been an important part of Kentico CMS. In order to provide a consistent customer strategy, Kentico CMS is implementing a Support Lifecycle Policy. This provides a consistent and predictable guideline for support availability when a new Kentico product releases and throughout that product's life. Our goal is to allow customers to better maximize their investment and strategically plan for a successful future.
Effective March 1, 2013 all support for any Kentico CMS version prior to Kentico CMS 5 is ended.
Beginning with the release of Kentico CMS 8, support is available for the latest major version and previous two major versions only.
Below, please find FAQ for end of the support:
Q: What happens on March 1, 2013?
A: Effective March 1, 2013, any customer using a version of Kentico CMS prior to 5.0 will not be able to receive any technical support for their installations, even if they have a valid maintenance.
Q: Who is affected?
A: Version 5.0 was released on December 23rd, 2009, so all pre-5.0 installations are now more than 3 years old. Based on our statistics, the majority of customers are currently running version 5.0 or later, so this step won't affect a large number of clients.
Q: Why is Kentico ending support?
A: Supporting older versions tends to be much more difficult the older the version is. It has a major impact on our ability to answer the questions in a timely manner. In many cases, we may not be able to recommend customers anything better than upgrading to a newer version to fix a bug or solve a browser compatibility issue. We also want to encourage our clients to keep using the latest versions of Kentico CMS and benefit from all enhancements we introduced in the newer versions.
Q: What should I do if I currently run a Kentico CMS 4.x or Older Version?
A: It's recommended that you upgrade your installation to the latest version. There are several good reasons to do that:
Get the new features introduced in the later versions
Benefit from the latest performance, stability and security enhancements
Keep up with latest technology enhancements including latest versions of browsers, operating systems, Visual Studio, .NET Framework or Microsoft SQL Server
Be eligible for our unique 7-Day Bug Fixing Policy that applies only to the latest version (we don't fix bugs in older versions)
Q: What Is Kentico Policy for Supporting the Newer Versions?
A: In the future, we will keep supporting the latest major version and previous two major versions and we will end support for any older versions with release of a new major version. You can find more details at our Product Support Lifecycle Policy page.
Q: Who should I contact if I have questions?
If you have any questions regarding the Support Lifecycle Policy please send an email to support@kentico.com.

I'm the founder and CEO of Kentico. I write about Kentico, WCM, CXM, digital marketing and related technologies.
kentico_petrp commented on Dec 6, 2012
as you write, we only fix bugs in the latest major or minor version.
In special cases, we do make exceptions and we may fix also bugs in chosen earlier versions if there's an issue that impacts majority of our clients and at the same time can be solved relatively easily.
Still, we always recommend our clients to stay on the latest version so that they can receive all hotfixes and benefit from the latest enhancements.
We invested significant efforts into making the upgrade process as easy as possible with our automatic upgrades in the Kentico Installation Manager and we will continue in that effort so that there's no reason to stay on old versions.
Petr Palas, Kentico
Alan Lim commented on Dec 5, 2012
I understand that Kentico support is available for the latest major version and previous two major versions only, but bugs are only fixed in the latest major or minor version.
If there is any security vulnerabilities uncovered in one of the previous 2 major versions, will Kentico provide patches for this earlier version?

Rebel governor candidate vows to 'drain the swamp' in Virginia
Promises to crack down on illegal immigration, slash spending and taxes
By Greg Corombos
Published May 6, 2017 at 3:37pm

A candidate given little chance to win in a left-leaning state is focusing his message on fighting illegal immigration and political correctness, while bashing the Democratic incumbent and his "establishment" Republican rival.
Corey Stewart points out he has been beating the drum on these issues for years and insists he is not modeling his campaign for Virginia governor on the unorthodox approach taken by Donald Trump.
Nonetheless, Stewart, a four-term chairman of the Prince William County Board of Supervisors, is railing against the record of term-limited Gov. Terry McAuliffe, accusing clear GOP front-runner Ed Gillespie of refusing to take stands on difficult issues, vowing to clamp down on illegal immigration and stiff-arming political correctness to the point of holding a photo opportunity with the Confederate flag.
Polling has been scant ahead of the June 13 primary, which also includes Virginia state Sen. Frank Wagner. However, a Christopher Newport University survey from late March shows Gillespie with a commanding lead. The former Republican National Committee chairman and 2014 U.S. Senate candidate sports 38 percent in the poll. Stewart is next at 11 percent, and Wagner had 10 percent.
For his part, Stewart told WND and Radio America Republican voters had better take a closer look at the Virginia race if they want to win in November.
"I'm the only Republican who's been able to win up here in Northern Virginia county-wide. My district is 454,000 people. It's a 60-40 Democratic district. I've been able to win it four times, the only Republican who's been able to do that," Stewart said.
"I know how to win; I've done so as a conservative. I led the nation's toughest crackdown on illegal immigration. I've been able to cut spending deeply in my county, reduce taxes, the lowest tax jurisdiction in Northern Virginia," said Stewart, who clarified that the county does not have the lowest property tax rates in Northern Virginia but the lowest average property tax bills.
Part of that is due to property values being far lower there than in neighboring Fairfax or Loudoun Counties. Adjusted for inflation, however, property tax bills in Prince William County are slightly lower than when Stewart first became chairman.
Listen to the WND/Radio America interview with Corey Stewart:
Stewart hammers Gov. McAuliffe for Virginia's loss of 10,000 manufacturing jobs per year over the past four years, losing the battle for companies and jobs to neighboring North Carolina, and refusing to crack down on fraudulent voting.
However, he said Gillespie, to whom Stewart refers as "Establishment Ed," would not be a whole lot better.
"Ed Gillespie has refused to take any hard-line positions on anything," Stewart charged. "If you ask him to take a position on illegal immigration, he'll say he's against it. But if you look at his record, he said when he was running for the Senate in 2014 – on 'The Larry Kudlow Show' – that he was for amnesty for 12 million illegal aliens, including gang members."
What is clear is that Gillespie was on the record in support of the Gang of Eight immigration reform bill the Senate approved in 2013.
Stewart said it's not just about immigration.
"He is a liberal. He is for amnesty on illegal immigration," he said. "On the life issue, he says he's pro-life, but then he would not sign legislation that would prohibit partial-birth or late-term abortions. Even his tax-cut policy – he says he's going to cut taxes – but he doesn't cut a single nickel in spending."
Stewart continued: "On the state and local level, you cannot cut taxes unless you're able to cut spending. He won't do it because he knows it's controversial. He refuses to take a hard-line position."
Stewart said his work to balance the budget after the 2008 financial crisis proves he can trim government spending.
"We cut $185 million out of our base budget in Prince William in a single year, and that's what I want to do in Virginia. We've got a state budget that's out of control. State taxes are far too high, and we're losing a lot of jobs to North Carolina because of it," he said.
"What I'd like to do is reduce the top marginal income tax rate from 5.75 percent to 4.75 percent. That's the No. 1 thing we can do in Virginia to improve the business climate."
However, most media coverage of Stewart in the campaign has not been about his economic plans or even his efforts to crack down on illegal immigration. Instead, it's been his very vocal denunciations of efforts to remove Confederate monuments or statues.
The hottest flash-point came in February, when the Charlottesville City Council voted to remove a statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee from a local park. A judge recently issued an injunction against the removal, but Stewart said something much bigger than a single statue is at stake – the scourge of political correctness.
"I believe political correctness is a bondage from which we must break free. It's limiting our First Amendment freedoms in this country," said Stewart, who believes the left is whitewashing history.
"They're starting by labeling all these statues that we have in Virginia, to Robert E. Lee and others, as white supremacist statues," he said. "Now it's false, but they're tearing [them] down. The city of Charlottesville voted to remove the statue of Robert E. Lee that's been there since 1924. And it's spreading. They said next time they're coming after Thomas Jefferson."
But Stewart goes beyond the push to preserve Confederate history to at least the brink of embracing it. In March, he held an event where he prominently displayed the Confederate flag and vowed to defend it.
"Folks, this is a symbol of heritage. It is not a symbol of racism. It is not a symbol of slavery," Stewart was quoted as saying in the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
So where does he stand?
"I know that some people are offended by the Confederate flag, but it is part of our history. It is part of our past. Although there are many people offended by the flag, they have to understand there are millions of other people across this country who have ancestors who fought honorably for the Confederacy," Stewart said.
"They're simply trying to honor their ancestors. They're trying to honor their heritage. They're not trying to offend. We need to stand up for everybody. Everybody should be able to honor their heritage."
The Gillespie campaign called the photo opportunity with the Confederate flag "desperate" and labeled the flag itself as "divisive."
Stewart realizes his approach on this and other issues can be abrasive, but he said his style is appreciated by his constituents.
"I've always been very blunt, some would say brash; but I'm very, very blunt, and I've won on that," Stewart said. "The reason is because people are so sick and tired of political correctness. They're sick of the swamp, and we've got a swamp here in Virginia, just like there is one in Washington, D.C."

Azeem Rafiq apologises for sending anti-Semitic messages
Plus: Nick Hoult on why racism could damage Rafiq's standing as voice for the voiceless
By Ben Rumsby and Nick Hoult, Chief Cricket Correspondent 18 November 2021 • 8:05pm
Azeem Rafiq sparked the Yorkshire racism row Credit: PA
Azeem Rafiq has apologised for using anti-Semitic slurs in an exchange of messages with another cricketer.
Rafiq admitted sending messages more than a decade ago in which he joked about a Derbyshire player, Atif Sheikh, being reluctant to spend money on a meal out because "he is a jew".
Rafiq added that Sheikh would "probs go after my 2nds [second helping of food] again ha", adding: "Only Jews do tht [sic] sort of s---."
In his apology, the 30-year-old said: "I was sent an image of this exchange from early 2011 today. I have gone back to check my account and it is me. I have absolutely no excuses.
"I am ashamed of this exchange and have now deleted it so as not to cause further offence. I was 19 at the time and I hope and believe I am a different person today. I am incredibly angry at myself and I apologise to the Jewish community and everyone who is rightly offended by this.
"At no point will I ever try and defend the indefensible. For those I have hurt I am sincerely sorry. I will continue to front up & own any more mistakes I have made."
Rafiq added that Sheikh had accepted an apology when he had spoken to him by telephone.
Anti-Semitic messages sent by Azeem Rafiq
Rafiq also later apologised for sharing a meme on social media in 2017 containing a derogatory joke relating to African people. He said it "was a matter of stupidity but the harm is the same as overt racism so that is no excuse".
The messages to Ateeq Javid were leaked less than 48 hours after Rafiq gave harrowing testimony at the Houses of Parliament about cricket's racism scandal, weeping as he told MPs how the abuse he suffered had cost him his career – and nearly his life.
Rafiq conceded at the time he "wasn't perfect" and had made mistakes of his own during his career.
Claudia Mendoza, co-chief executive of the Jewish Leadership Council, said of his anti-Semitic messages: "There's no doubt that this is massively awkward for Azeem Rafiq but he's taken full ownership, apologised, and undoubtedly – through his own experiences – learnt a lot about racism since then."
Speaking to Jewish News, Rafiq reveals a lack of contact with the Jewish community may be the root of his racist comments, saying he doesn't recall having a Jewish team-mate and hadn't "integrated" with Jewish people.
"I just hope that they can see that I am genuinely sorry. And about the comments. And the hurt that it caused.
"I don't think I'm in any position to be asking the Jewish community on how they feel. All I can do is do my best, to show them that I am sorry. And time to understand and learn and educate myself to make sure that I'm improving myself.
"I haven't really integrated much with the Jewish community in the past. I've been around cricket all my life. And I don't really recall having a team-mate from the Jewish community. I've never spent time ... round Jewish people. I don't think for any other reason, but the fact that all I've done is play cricket all my life."
A panel appointed by Yorkshire as part of an investigation into Rafiq's claims the club was institutionally racist had earlier found him guilty of racial abuse by calling team-mate Gary Ballance, who was born in Zimbabwe, "Zimbo".
However, this finding was widely condemned, including by former Zimbabwe captain Heath Streak, who said it was no different to calling someone from Australia an "Aussie" and someone from New Zealand a "Kiwi".
The same five-strong panel, which included three British Asians, also found Ballance calling Rafiq a P--- had been "banter" which he was not entitled to be offended by.
The cricketer Rafiq admitted exchanging messages with, former Leicestershire player Javid, did not respond to requests for comment.
Screenshots of the exchange appear to show Javid using the words "jew s---".
Racism could damage Rafiq's standing as voice for the voiceless
By Nick Hoult
Three days have passed since Azeem Rafiq's explosive testimony blew open English cricket's racism crisis but it has been greeted only by silence, denials or apologies from the game's non-Asian majority.
It has shone a light on a worrying division along colour lines in English cricket that could take a long time, and a lot of work, to repair.
Not one current senior white player or coach from the England set up or county team has expressed an opinion on Rafiq's evidence, performance in front of the DCMS committee or his allegations about the culture of dressing rooms.
Instead the gap has been filled by Asian or black cricketing figures backing up Rafiq and thanking him for exposing cricket's race issue.
Players are scared, counties are small operations in the middle of a storm way beyond their understanding and senior executives at the ECB could lose their jobs. Just as cricket needs unity and direction it is engaging in a damaging civil war that could end in a coup that topples Tom Harrison when the ECB chief executive leads a meeting with the counties at the Oval on Friday morning.
This is an ever changing story too. It took an unexpected twist on Thursday when Rafiq's own discriminatory, anti-Semitic remarks were made public for the first time. He apologised quickly and tweeted last night "at no point will I ever try and defend the indefensible. For those I have hurt I am sincerely sorry. I will continue to front up & own any more mistakes I have made."
He was trying to pre-empt any further revelations of his past behaviour that could emerge over the coming days and damage his standing as a voice for the voiceless that he promised to be when speaking to MPs. He has indulged in the same discriminatory language, long ago like some of those offering profuse apologies this week, and shown that dressing rooms have many dark secrets threatening to spill out now the door has been unlocked.
Rafiq's compelling witness testimony was followed by a string of broadcast interviews on Wednesday including a ten minute slot at 8am on the Today programme aired on Thursday, an unheard of level of exposure for a cricket issue. Of course, this is something that goes beyond the sport, but a story that began 18 months ago with an interview published on the Wisden website has mushroomed into cricket's biggest crisis and even attracted comment from the Prime Minister.
Despite all this nothing has emanated from the England team in Queensland, even after Rafiq's finger pointing at them in his evidence on Tuesday. Even Sir Alastair Cook, who has not played for England for three years, was urged on Thursday to break his silence over the racism scandal at his beloved Essex after the club was hit by allegations culminating in former bowler Maurice Chambers saying he was called a "f------ monkey".
Cook was also a member of an England dressing room where Rafiq said this week it was an "open secret" that "Kevin" was used as a name for non-white people.
"Silence is not a defence. It will come out eventually and it's far better to come forward now. Let's deal with this so that we can all start to rebuild," Clive Efford MP, the former shadow sports minister and a member of the Digital, Culture, Media & Sport select committee which heard Rafiq's testimony on Rafiq on Tuesday, told Telegraph Sport.
"If people think that saying, 'I've not heard anything', is going to continue to be a defence when we've clearly seen how extensive the matter-of-fact use of racist terms was, they need to think again.
"If you've witnessed it – okay, you're not the perpetrator – you're almost as guilty because you've refused to do anything. More importantly, now it's already out in the open, you're still remaining silent."

Very Belated LonCon Write-Up
By drorzel on September 1, 2014.
I'm up way too early with jet lag, looking over Twitter, and ran into Nick Falkner's report on the TED panel I moderated at Worldcon, which reminded me that I never did write anything about the con. Late is probably still better than never, so here are some quick long-after-the-fact comments about my program items:
-- Only one person showed up for my Kaffeeklatsch, probably because it was at dinnertime on the first day of the con, and also the Kaffeeklatsch rooms were in a place that didn't look like somewhere you were allowed to go. My one guest was a guy I've exchanged emails with for many years but had never previously met, so that was fun.
-- I moderated a panel about meanings of the term "Banksian," and structured it around a handful of words and phrases I've seen "Banksian" used as synonyms for: "Bloody and Violent," "Expansive/ Inventive," "Experimental," "Political/ Utopian," "Genre-crossing." That worked very well, though it wasn't as easy as I had hoped to get concrete book recommendations for other authors that were "Banksian" in that same sense. I cut off a discussion of Scottish independence by saying "I'm an American, and I don't care." "About Banks's views of political parties?" somebody asked, and I replied "No, about Scotland." I half expected to be mugged by dudes in kilts after that, but they took it fairly well...
This panel got mentioned positively in a write-up of the con, so that was nice; Google didn't turn up much else about it, and I'm not that plugged in to fannish social media, so I haven't seen any other discussion.
-- I was much more worried about the TED panel mentioned above, because I wasn't sure we'd have enough to fill 90 minutes. It worked out pretty well, on the whole, though-- we had enough disagreement among the panelists to get a spirited discussion going, and I didn't have to resort to any really obvious filler (I did run out of notes with a few minutes to go, but luckily there were enough threads from earlier discussions to extend things smoothly). We continued the conversation over beers in the convention hall later, so that went well.
-- The one dark spot regarding my programming was also associated with the TED panel, alas. An older white guy down front made some annoying comments to one of the female panelists who was having difficulty with the microphones, and I was very close to telling him to shut up or leave. At the tail end of the panel, as people were leaving, he followed this up with a directly and offensively sexist remark; I didn't hear the original statement, but heard her say something startled, and his follow-up clearly included the word "tits." She told him "I don't have time to deal with your bullshit," and he left, but I reported the incident to the convention, because that kind of shit is unacceptable. Sadly, it wasn't the worst report they'd gotten that day-- when I told them I wanted to report an incident, the person at the desk said "Does this involve somebody using the N-word? Because we already know about that one..."
-- To their credit, the con staff were very good about taking the report, and making clear it was taken seriously. If anything, they seemed to expect me to need more soothing than I did-- I mostly wanted to just give them my report and get out back to drinking beer with the other panelists... I don't know what if any action was taken as a result, but was very pleased with my interactions with the staff.
Regarding the rest of the con:
-- I've only been to three previous Worldcons, but this was far and away the best exhibit area I've ever seen. Beyond the usual collection of construction-paper displays of old photos, they had gotten a range of serious academic groups to set up tables and posters-- there was a big display of stuff about ESA satellites and other science missions, some material on academic studies of genre literature, people doing a survey of gut bacteria, examples of prehistoric tools, and a whole lot more. I've been told that this was largely the work of Farah Mendelsohn, who is to be commended for doing a great job-- given that my reading has shifted almost entirely to ebooks, this section was far and away the highlight of the convention hall. I hope this sets a precedent for future Worldcons to try to emulate, rather than sliding into a story about "Hey, remember that one Worldcon that had that awesome exhibit area?"
-- For reasons relating to the tininess of European hotel rooms, most of the social aspects were moved within the cavernous convention center. In particular, rather than taking place in tiny hotel rooms, the various bid parties were in the central "Fan village" space. I think this worked out well, for the most part-- I'm a big guy, so cramped hotel-room parties are less attractive to me than they might be-- though I'm sure it annoyed some people.
-- The programming included a huge number of panelists, many of them drawn from outside the pool of Usual Suspects, which is a good thing. The down side of this, though, is that running lots of panels at once required splitting the con area up into many smaller rooms. Which combined with the ExCeL staff's obsessive attention to UK fire codes meant that I was closed out of a lot of things I might've liked to see. That was doubly frustrating, as the program was a little thin in terms of things I wanted to see as it was (this is a matter of my own divergent tastes, not a knock on the overall program; lots of people spoke glowingly about the content). It also made panel-hopping basically impossible, as most rooms were at capacity, so if a panel turned out to be dull or annoying, you didn't have much chance of getting into a different one.
-- The fire code thing was both obsessive-- they kicked people out of rooms in the name of keeping the exits clear, when those people were sitting on packing crates for A/V gear that took up at least as much room as the folks on them-- and ironic, as the only access to the meeting rooms was via a single pair of narrow escalators, which formed a horrible choke point. Especially given the tendency of self-absorbed fans to just stop at the top of the escalator. There were fire stairs you could take down from the meeting rooms, if you knew where to look, but those dumped you outside the ExCeL center.
-- The combination of big crowds and tiny rooms led me to burn out on the whole scene a good deal before I otherwise would've. It didn't help that our hotel was a good kilometer away, so going back and forth wasn't completely trivial (it did offset some of the fine British ales I was drinking, I guess...). The fact that I was comprehensively burned out on work before getting to London didn't help any, either. I missed a few people I would've liked to see, and generally wasn't as social as I usually am. So, you know, if you didn't get to talk to me, or if I seemed kind of aloof and dickish, I apologize.
(After the con, Kate and I went to Dublin for a couple of days, then I had two solo days in London before going to Sweden, which did wonders for my general state of mind. In particular, spending a big chunk of a sunny Sunday tromping around Hampstead Heath was a huge morale boost, so I was much happier by the time I hit Stockholm.)
-- The Hugos were... well, the Hugos. I voted "No Award" on an entire category (Novella), so I obviously wasn't going to be thrilled with all the winners, but I thought Ancillary Justice was a terrific and deserving winner, so that's good. And the most offensive of the "sad puppy" nominees lost to "No Award" by a huge margin, so that's a victory for good sense and taste.
Anyway, it was a good and well-run con, which broke all sorts of attendance records, so congratulations to all the folks who made it happen. I'm not sure if I'll be at the next one-- Spokane, WA is not inherently all that attractive to me, but I may have Reasons to be there (contingent on a bunch of other stuff that I'm not going to talk about right now). We'll see.
Boskone: Visiting Japan
The first panel I was on was travel advice for the Japanese Worldcon: Visiting Japan, If we attend the Worldcon in Yokohama this August, what knowledge should we bring along? What ten phrases are essential? What societal differences should we be prepared to accommodate? What are Japanese SF fans…
Worldcon Thoughts
Before it slips too far into the mists of memory, I should probably post some summary thoughts about Nippon 2007, the World SF Convention in Japan that Kate and I attended last week. To some degree, this will be inside-baseball stuff, but if you're not interested in fannish stuff, rest assured,…
Boskone 43
The following will be of interest only to people who were at Boskone, or who for some reason care deeply about what I did there, so I'll put the bulk of the text below the fold. We arrived at about 3:00 Friday afternoon, parked in the hotel garage, and discovered that the trunk of my car would no…

I keep falling down on my duty to provide cute-kid content, here; I also keep forgetting to post something about a nerdy bit of our morning routine. So, let's maximize the bird-to-stone ratio, and do them at the same time. The Pip can be a Morning Dude at times, but SteelyKid is never very happy to…
Kid Art Update
Our big home renovation has added a level of chaos to everything that's gotten in the way of my doing more regular cute-kid updates. And even more routine tasks, like photographing the giant pile of kid art that we had to move out of the dining room. Clearing stuff up for the next big stage of the…

Creating a safe work environment for emergency medical service workers.
Seat belts are required in U.S. ambulances, as with other motor vehicles manufactured in accordance with the current Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS), as regulated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). These regulations are also cited in the Specification for the Star of Life Ambulance, KKK-A-1822F, as issued by the General Services Administration (GSA), which is widely adopted as the defacto industry specification for ambulances. The required occupant restraints do not allow emergency medical service (EMS) workers the mobility required to care for patients. As a result, EMS workers routinely work unrestrained in the patient compartment, daily risking their safety and health in the care of others? In an effort to solve this problem for existing and new ambulances alike, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health tested four different retrofittable restraint systems, each of which provide improved crash protection for the worker while allowing the mobility needed to provide patient care. In parallel, the City of Winter Park (Florida) Fire and Rescue Department (WPFD), in collaboration with Medtec Ambulance Corporation, has designed and fielded a new ambulance patient compartment that significantly reduces the need for the EMS worker to move from a seated position to care for the patient. Together, these two work environment changes represent unique opportunities to substantially improve worker safety without compromising patient care. The objective of this research study was to utilize digital human modeling tools to evaluate reach envelopes for three different human body sizes (5th percentile female, as well as, the 50th and 95th percentile male: by stature and weight), when positioned in two different commercially available ambulance patient compartments. The evaluation was expanded to test each body size, in each environment, using two different restraint systems: one fixed and one allowing mobility, if needed, to assess the ability of a worker to care for the patient and reach equipment while remaining restrained. The underlying premise is that it is better to be restrained than unrestrained, and further, it is better to be restrained and seated than restrained and out of the seat. Results from this study illustrate the strengths and limitations of the patient compartment configuration in an ambulance built and fielded in accordance with the current FMVSS and the Federal Specification for the Star of Life Ambulance, KKK-A-1822E, as issued by the General Services Administration (GSA). This study also discusses potential improvements to the safety and health of EMS workers, if NIOSH tested mobile restraint systems, which increase reach envelope while allowing EMS workers to remain restrained, were adopted. The approach taken by the WPFD to redesign the work environment by substantially reducing the need for mobility, thus allowing EMS workers to remain seated and restrained for the majority of their work tasks, offers a real opportunity to improve the safety of ambulances to be fielded in the future if this design were to be adopted. Finally, the WPFD design when coupled with a mobile restraint offers the best of both designs: the ability to stay seated and restrained for most work tasks while still allowing for restrained mobility when needed.

How to stay safe from workplace injuries during the winter season | Alverson + O'Brien, P.C.
One of the biggest threats to workplace safety during the winter months in Colorado is ice. Whether you are driving or need to walk where there could be ice, winter conditions can create a perfect scenario for workplace injuries.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that in 2014, workplace injuries involving ice, snow or sleet accounted for 42,480 injuries and illnesses that resulted in at least one day of missed work. To make sure you stay safe while on the job during the winter months, you may want to keep these things in mind.
Every type of surface can become slippery in winter. You should pay close attention to ladders, utility poles, scaffolding and machinery. Even the area around doors where people enter and exit from the outside can easily become slippery. Be mindful of these slick spots and use chemicals to de-ice certain areas if needed.
Most slip in falls in the winter happen in parking lots, driveways and walkways. Take extra pre-caution in these areas and try to wear the best non-slip footwear you can.
Most injuries from a slip or fall on snow can result in anything from minor bruises and abrasions to broken bones and spinal cord injuries. However, strains and sprains are the most common and can keep you out of work for a significant time.
Ice falling from tall structures has been known to cause serious injury and even be deadly. You should be aware of ice falling from things like cell towers, high rise buildings and highway overpasses. Just a half-pound icicle can fall at up to 90 mph.
An important thing to keep in mind when driving in the winter is stopping distance. The distance to stop while on ice is nearly 10 times more distance than when stopping on a dry surface. The other thing to watch out for is black ice. Black ice is virtually impossible to see and can be very hazardous for drivers and for walkers alike.
As soon as winter begins, you may want to begin to take precautions for staying safe. One of the most crucial ways to stay safe in the winter is to just be aware of dangerous conditions where there could be snow and ice.


Prunesco became the first formal client of the Business Platform for Innovation, an initiative of Sociedad Nacional de Agricultura (National Agriculture Society), after the legal representatives from both entities signed a work agreement.
In this manner, the platform shall support the exporter in businesses it launches in the Russian market, facilitating trading with importers from that country with market intelligence, logistics and legal counseling, contact development, among other services.
"The signing of this contract means a lot to us, as we intend with it to open towards the Russian market and consolidate our position in that market through the SNA platform", stated Hector Claro, Prunesco CEO.
"Finding new market channels is something we've had in mind for a long time ago," he added, jointly with emphasizing that benefits that shall be delivered by the platform shall be of the essence for its company in order to deepen work in Russia.
"Prunesco is the largest prune manufacturer and marketer in the country. It represents a large number of farmers from this fruit sub-sector and has identified in Russia a market with which it is already working, but desiring to foster and develop it even more, taking into consideration the SNA Commercial Platform for Innovation as a significant partner, emphasized Juan Pablo Matte, SNA secretary general.
The business platform is an unprecedented SNA initiative, co-financed with Corfo's Innova Chile during the first three years, arising from the interest of the agricultural sector to tackle emerging markets and facilitating the entry of domestic producers to those considered as highly attractive.
In 2008, the SNA presented the Project to Corfo's Innova Chile, which was approved in October after an accurate pre-feasibility study of the Russian market. It operates as an SNA company having a team of Russian and Chilean professionals with offices in Santiago and Moscow. During the first three years it will demand an investment of CH$750 million, which will be co-financed by Innova and SNA.


These are cell phones which are amplified and are specially designed for seniors. An amplified "unlocked" cellphone can be used on any GSM network that uses a SIM card. In the United States, AT&T and T-Mobile are GSM providers. If you purchase an unlocked phone you'll be able to use either provider - rather than purchasing a phone from them which is locked to a particular network. A GSM world phone supports all four GSM frequencies and can be used virtually anywhere in the world, which allows you to take advantage of local rates rather than being charged for roaming, by using a prepaid SIM card.
