Quiet condo living in Makaha
By E. Clarke Reilly
My first trip to the west side of Oahu was a couple of months ago to attend a party at an oceanfront house in Makaha. Though a modest home, it was a beautiful setting: a stone's throw from the waves and an obligatory hammock to take in the technicolor sunset. Sure, it's a long drive from Honolulu, but residents who live there would argue it's worth it.
The pace is slower out on the west side. For surfers and fishing enthusiasts, opportunities abound. If that's the lifestyle you're looking for and you're willing to brave the commute (or lucky enough to work from home), the real estate properties are much more affordable than in town.
So affordable, that when I saw the price of this newly relisted two-bedroom condo at Makaha Valley Plantation ($90,000 fee simple), I did a double take. Click here for details.
This bright, first-floor unit features laminate wood flooring throughout. An additional half bath is an added bonus, not all of the "A" units have one. It includes a stacked washer/dryer, so there's no need to utilize the community laundry. If you're worried about staying cool, there's an opening where you can install a portable A/C unit. There's also a decently sized lanai that can fit a table and chairs.
The maintenance fee ($482 a month) includes cable TV, sewer and water. Amenities include a barbecue area, two swimming pools, a cabana and a sauna.
Fuzz factor: Pets are allowed, but you'll need to double check for a number limit or any weight restrictions.
If golf's your game, there are two golf courses adjacent to the Plantation's property and for fun in the sun and sand, it's just a five-minute drive to Makaha Beach Park.
There has been a lot of interest in this unit, so if you're interested, you'd better act quickly.
Money talk: $90,000 fee simple

Tunisian oud player Brahem is a fine exponent of traditional Arabic music. He is also a well-versed collaborator with jazz musicians (recording in the 1990s, for example, with Jan Garbarek and with Dave Holland and John Surman). As he points out in the liner notes to this wonderful recording "…there is a kind of spontaneity in Arab music, a way of playing that allows musicians to go deep into their own feelings and take some liberties with the original scores through improvisations; and perhaps this somehow echoes what happens in jazz." The set of tunes of this CD were composed by Brahem over the past few years (with a couple of older pieces, track 4, 'Bahia' and track 6 'Bom Dia Rio'). Even if you are not familiar with the rigours of the ways in which maqam scales work, you can easily sense how each piece has a clearly defined lyrical structure that the players follow closely. What you can also hear is the ways in which this structure provides opportunities to extemporise on the themes so that the performance of each piece has its own spontaneity.
The melodies that Brahem has composed provide an undulating lyrical platform on which the group builds its sound. The first track, 'Opening Day' begins with the theme being introduced on the oud, with bass and drums providing a gentle support, then around 2' 25, Bates' offers a delicate piano line which is then picked up and returned by Brahem. Over the next minute or so, piano and oud swirl around each other like a pair of swallows, until the piece resolves into a variation of its original theme which is played by bass, piano and oud in unison. This structure and interplay characterises all of the pieces in this set, whether the main theme is stated on oud, piano or double bass. Across all of this, DeJohnette provides a warm and subtle rhythmic veil that shimmers over the playing.
Throughout the set, Bates continues his exploration of the piano playing at its most delicate, offering an ideal foil for the complex sounds that the oud produces. Holland's resonant bass grounds each piece, sometimes playing the melody with the other instruments and sometimes providing a gently circular riffs that pulse hypnotically (as on track 7 'Persopolis's mirage', track 8 'The road to Al-Sham' and most clearly on track 9 'Unexpected outcomes'). The way the three lead instruments work around each other is fascinating. It would be trite (although true) to say that you have a Master Class in each of the instruments here. What is more exciting is that the group has developed a shared musical language that sits across maqam and jazz in ways which draw out and respect the traditions in each musical form.

SEC Shuts Down Second Bitcoin ETF Setup Attempt
March 31, 2017 By: Steven Anderson
It's the second time in recent memory a bitcoin exchange traded fund (ETF) has come before the United States' Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and for the second time, it's been shut down. This time, it was the SolidX Bitcoin Trust, brought forward by the Intercontinental Exchange Inc.'s NYSE Arca exchange, and the reasons behind the shutdown will likely be familiar to those who have been following this concept.
The SEC's reasons for shutting down this exchange boiled down to roughly the same as the last time, with issues of regulation and oversight coloring the concept. The SEC noted, based on Section 6(b)(5) of the Exchange Act, that new exchanges were required to boast rules that "…prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices…" as well as serving "…to protect investors and the public interest."
The first time a bitcoin exchange got shut down, it was a kick in the teeth for bitcoin prices, which suffered greatly. A loss in price was seen this time as well, though nowhere near so pronounced, suggesting that losses at the SEC were now baked into the cost of bitcoin, currently hovering around $1028.51 as of this writing.
One one more such proposal remains outstanding to date: Grayscale Investments LLC's Bitcoin Investment Trust, seeking to enter the fray with $500 million on its side. Given the last two, it's not likely this one will pass.
In fact, given the nature of bitcoin altogether, it's likely that it will never clear the SEC. The very nature of bitcoin—a highly decentralized operation that isn't controlled by any one government entity—suggests that it can never be approved under the SEC's rules, though several are taking their best shot.
It really doesn't matter, though, if bitcoin never makes the SEC rosters and becomes a formal ETF. It's operated this long without such issues as an investment property and even as a kind of mobile payment electronic currency.
So while bitcoin may never be taken seriously on the exchanges, it doesn't need to be. It's enough to stand on its own two feet, serving as investment, speculation, and paycheck all in one.

DOC has erected a large sign on the opposite side proclaiming soft sand and advising an increase in speed. I thought that my going was up to scratch for someone of my age and pack weight.
I was off clean and in good spirits. It was 9:15 before I saw other people and then it was a trailer load – namely the Pukenui School seniors, in their last days at school before High School.
Good to see the locals have not been inflicted with overzealous notions of Health & Safety. I could imagine their H&S manual with just four words, "look after one another".
They were on their way north to start at the top of Ninety Mile Beach for the 4-day walk to Ahipara.
They were accompanied by some parents walking, one on horseback and one cruising the fishing spots along the way, carrying the heavy bits like water and lunch, and being on hand to ferry them back to Hukatere for overnight camps. It was good to see them out and about.
To look behind occasionally seemed a good idea. I did spot a dot way behind and thought it was another walker, until a savage barking at my heels announced the arrival of one older gentleman on his bike preceded by one very loud and savage, if not tiny, foxy dog.
The tourists flew past at high speed, 5 busloads between 10:30 and 11:30. I am hoping they will be back tomorrow, at a similar time.
There had been time for food stops, there was plenty of creek water, just two of the crossings required boots-off. I don't like walking in wet feet.
Nine 4-wheel drive vehicles of various sorts, and a female cyclist towing a single wheel trailer, made up the highlights for the day.
The Bluff is a significant feature on the beach, a rocky outcrop with a large sign to say the "island" (when the tide is in) is private property.
However the camping area on the landward side is more welcoming. It has a flush toilet of sorts, a large area to camp, and down by the stream, a bathtub full of cool clear water. Again I camped on my own.
I was woken by a 4×4 getting access to the beach in the middle of the night to collect muscle spat when the tide was low. There is an invitation to pay a $10 camp fee to the Maunganui Bluff Reserve Trustees, but it seems to have been mainly unsuccessful since the Project Crimson Pohutakawa tree planting was done.
The area has been well set up but sadly shows a distinct lack of maintenance.


NAIROBI, Kenya, Mar 31- The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission suffered a major blow after Commissioner Jane Onsongo resigned on Tuesday citing infighting within the body.
Onsongo told Citizen TV on Tuesday evening that the commission was incapable of fighting the numerous mega corruption cases in the country.
This comes as the commission chairperson Mumo Matemu and his deputy Irene Keino were preparing to appear before the National Assembly Justice and Legal Affairs committee on Thursday in an ongoing probe about their suitability to serve.
Matemu recently suspended the commission's Deputy Chief Executive Officer Michael Mubea who was reinstated hours later by the CEO Halake Waqo.
Waqo said the chairman had acted outside of his powers when he took the decision. The chairman and commission secretary however buried the hatchet and Mubea was allowed to resume his duties.
Parliament is currently debating a confidential report presented by President Uhuru Kenyatta which implicates senior government officials of engaging in corruption.
On March 10, President Uhuru Kenyatta received a petition over the top leadership at the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission. In the petition, some commissioners had reportedly asked the president to initiate the removal of Matemu as chairman.
Word went round later that the authors of the petition had later withdrawn it.

Q: wrong output, can't understand why C I am a beginner in C programming and I built a function that recieves the string "HodHasharon,frozenYogurt,100". The function cuts the string into 3 pieces where every piece is a field of my City struct.
I want to put "HodHasharon" into
City pcity.name (name of the city), "frozenYogurt" into pcity.popularFood (popular food) and number of residents (100) into pcity.residents.
When i am debugging the output in my function the output is correct but when i print from the main.c I got a concatenated string.
For example, when I print pcity.name I get "HodHashafrozenYod" instead of "HodHasharon" but if I do printf at my function printf->name I get the correct output of "HodHasharon"
What am I doing wrong?
struct of City:
typedef struct City
{
    char *name;
    char * popluarFood;
    int numberOfPeople;

} City;

the function:
City * cutCityData (char *singleLine)
{
    City* pcity=(City*)malloc(sizeof(City));
    int firstIndex=1;
    int endIndex=1;
    int checkItarion=0;
    while(endIndex<strlen(singleLine))
    {//while
        while (singleLine[endIndex] != ',')
        {//while2
            endIndex++;
        }//while2
        checkItarion++;
        char cityDetails[endIndex - firstIndex +1];
        memcpy(cityDetails,&singleLine[firstIndex], endIndex);
        cityDetails[endIndex - firstIndex] = '\0';
        if (checkItarion == 1) {
            pcity->name = (char *) malloc(cityDetails);
            strcpy(&(pcity->name), cityDetails);
            endIndex++;
            firstIndex = endIndex;
        }
        if (checkItarion == 2) {
            pcity->popluarFood = (char *) malloc(cityDetails);
            strcpy(&(pcity->popluarFood), cityDetails);
            endIndex++;
            firstIndex=endIndex;
            break;
        }
    }//while
    char cityDetails[strlen(singleLine) - firstIndex + 1];
    memcpy(cityDetails, &singleLine[firstIndex], sizeof(singleLine-1));
    int resdints=atoi(cityDetails);
    pcity->numberOfPeople=resdints;
    return pcity;
    }

from main:
City* pCity=cutCityData(singLine);
printf("%s\n", &(pCity->name));

A: &(pcity->name) is the address of the pointer variable. You want to copy the string to the memory that it points to, not copy over the pointer. So change:
strcpy(&(pcity->name), cityDetails);

to
strcpy(pcity->name, cityDetails);

You're also giving the wrong argument to malloc(). cityDetails is an array, but the argument should be the number of bytes you want to allocate. So change
pcity->name = (char *) malloc(cityDetails);

to:
pcity->name = malloc(strlen(cityDetails) + 1);

These changes also need to be made for the code that fills in pcity->popularFood as well.
This is wrong:
memcpy(cityDetails, &singleLine[firstIndex], sizeof(singleLine-1));

singleLine is a pointer, so sizeof(singleLine-1) is the number of bytes in a pointer, not the length of the string. This should be:
memcpy(cityDetails, &singleLine[firstIndex], endIndex + 1);

City River Gone Wild: Paddling the Merrimack River Through Manchester
Our Explorers paddle the Merrimack from the red-brick canyon rapids of the Manchester mills to a calm, secluded island. As always, lessons are learned along the way.

Less than a half-mile from our put-in below the Amoskeag Dam in Manchester, we reach the first set of rapids, stretching out from the Bridge Street overpass and running in a tumult for 150 yards. I'm manning the bow of the canoe, 13-year-old Kaya is sitting amidships, and her mom, Tanya Pierce, is in the stern. While we hover above the drop, my rugby pal, Chris Pierce, and his 9-year-old son, Will, charge the rapids first, their heads bobbing up and down amidst the whitecaps.
Tanya says, "Paddle," and I stroke hard for the entry point. As we cross into the shadow of the bridge, I spot a concrete berm just below the surface of the water.
Before I can shout a warning, the canoe grinds over the obstacle, turns broadside to the current, and capsizes. I'm tossed into the drink, followed by Tanya. Kaya's still in the canoe, which is beginning to roll over. She's an arm's-length away, her face turned sideways, regarding me calmly.
Tanya is attempting to right the canoe, but the roiling water pushes Kaya toward the bow, and I'm having trouble getting a purchase with my hands or my feet. The river pulls us farther into the maze of whitecaps, and Tanya swings around the stern, grabbing ahold of Kaya …
It's a hot humid day, like being mummified in gauze beneath a trillion-watt sunlamp. Today, my friends and I have resumed our ongoing "It's Easier to Ask Forgiveness Than Permission Tour" through the wilds of New Hampshire. But this is a darker, and certainly more urban adventure than what we're accustomed to, as we paddle through and beyond the relics of the Industrial Revolution. Off to our left, Manchester's red-brick mills loom ominously over the water, shading it to black.
Running 117 miles from Franklin, New Hampshire, to Newburyport, Massachusetts, the Merrimack is a broad, twisting river passing through farmland, field and forest. But we've set out from downtown Manchester for an overnight excursion, with a vehicle parked at the take-out point approximately 10 miles south. Our party consists of photographer and all-round adventurer, Joe Klementovich, of North Conway, and the Pierce family —Chris, Tanya, and their blond-haired, blue-eyed children. As usual on these trips, I've had the wisdom to surround myself with people I trust, whose outdoor capabilities, athleticism and experience reflect Hemingway's notion of "grace under pressure." The Merrimack River is known for being wide and slow, but it's not without peril, as we quickly find out.

Henry David Thoreau and his brother John paddled a long stretch of the Merrimack River in 1839. In Thoreau's poetic treatise, "A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers," he noted the mingling of wilderness and civilization they experienced on the trip: "We contemplated at our leisure the lapse of the river and of human life; and as that current, with its floating twigs and leaves, so did all things pass in review before us, while far away in cities and marts on this very stream, the old routine was proceeding still."
One of the earliest mentions of the river occurred in 1603, from Pierre du Gaust, Sieur De Monts. Earlier that year, De Monts, who was acting as the French lieutenant-general of Acadia — all the land from the 40th to the 46th parallel — visited the Abenaki tribes in Quebec. He wrote, "The Indians tell us of a beautiful river, far to the south, which they call the Merrimack."
In 1863, the historian J.W. Meador noted that the Merrimack had been the "grand trunk road" of the Abenaki for centuries, leading to abundant fishing grounds, as well as a vast wilderness teeming with deer, beaver, bears and other game.
The origin of the name "Merrimack" is not entirely clear, though there are several intriguing possibilities. One interpretation is that Merrimack is the Algonquin word for "sturgeon," the large, migratory fish that were so plentiful in the river. (Generally, all the Native American tribes of the Eastern Seaboard, including the Abenaki, were Algonquin, named for the language they spoke.) Algonquin is known for its word-pictures, marking the landscape with names that can often be recognized when the places they stand for are encountered. Thus, Abenaki who lived nearby may have wished to memorialize the river's powerful current, naming it "merroh" (strong) and "auke" (place).
Another viable interpretation is that the local tribes conflated the words for island ("mena") and place ("auke") to create "mena-auke", or "island place," which the English settlers took for Merrimack.
By the time our journey was finished, we'd all have a keen appreciation of the Merrimack as both "strong place" and "island place."
Below the crest of the first rapid, Tanya and I are managing the crisis, but it's a struggle. As the canoe rides the swell, I'm thrust backward against submerged rocks, bashing my right hip. I'm trying to hang onto the gunwale so I can go hand-to-hand along the side to reach Kaya. Tanya is out of the boat on the upriver side, and is fighting her way around to grab hold of Kaya's personal flotation device, or PFD.
Tanya and Chris are about to take a swim as the canoe rolls over in the swift-moving current. Photo by Joe Klementovich
The water is just shallow enough that I can get my feet down, but the current keeps sweeping my legs downriver. For a few seconds, the whole episode unspools in a skein of images, the roar of the water is vacuumed away, and my field of vision turns to black and white, like I'm watching an old silent movie.
In slow motion, the canoe rolls and Kaya's face hovers close to mine. I can read the prevailing emotion in her eyes — trust.
With two hands on her PFD, Tanya pulls Kaya free of the canoe, and starts toward shore. Meanwhile, the canoe bobs free of the hollow and I'm able to right it, though it's half-filled with water. Tanya and Kaya and I kick and swim, toting the canoe toward the river's western bank.
Downstream, Chris and Will calmly paddle around to various spots, retrieving the cooler, dry bags, paddles, even my flip-flops, from what Chris later calls an aquatic "garage sale."
With Joe leading the way on his paddleboard, we clear two sets of rapids without incident. Approaching the Route 101 bridge, the huge concrete abutments rise up from the choppy surface of the Merrimack. River guides will tell you — and Chris, Tanya and I discovered on a rafting trip in Montana — that manmade objects are often the most dangerous things in the water. As Chris noted, if you end up pinned against one of the abutments, you're in real trouble.

Joe goes ahead to scout the rapids originating under the bridge. There's a significant drop and an islet crabbed with scrub providing a vantage point on the run. Joe waits for us there, and we disembark for a better look. Below us, the river runs fast and black, tipped with white rollers. A trio of kayakers in helmets and PFDs huddle nearby in an eddy, picking out their routes.
Chris and Tanya shoot the rapids in the first canoe, mooring it below the island. I join them on the rocky slab, Joe and the kids a short distance away, scanning the river.
I nod to Chris, gesturing him aside. We've been in plenty of tricky situations, in rugby matches and in the wilderness, and he reads me pretty well.
"What's up?" he asks.
Will has sidled over, but Chris turns him around by the shoulders, gently directing him away.
"Back there," I point over my shoulder, "there were a few seconds where I didn't like the way things were going."
Chris gazes frankly at me. "It's all right, buddy," he says.
For the second run, Chris and Will and I shoot the rapids, with Kaya and Tanya waiting on the other side. I'm in the bow, Will in the middle, and Chris mans the stern. We paddle over to the flat water above the drop, and Chris holds us in the current, studying the way ahead.
"Ready?" he asks.
"Go," I say.
We start paddling, trying to outpace the current, which gives Chris added maneuverability. A patch of smooth water cleaves the top of the rapid, and as we approach, Chris says, "This isn't the same route …"
Arriving at the pointy end of the flat spot, I see a shelf of black rock lying inches below the water. The canoe grinds against the serrated rock, the stern slips around so we're perpendicular to the current, and for a split-second, Chris and I keep us afloat. But the pressing water tips us to port, and we're thrown into the roiling whitecaps.
Chris and Will are whisked away in the flutter of an eyelash, hanging onto the canoe, their heads bobbing in the froth. I can hear Chris laughing and Will's excited cries over the sound of the burbling water.
For a few seconds, I cling to the rock, shifting my weight — and my feet — downriver in a sitting position. It's 100 yards of rough, rock-strewn water to either shore.
So I let go, my PFD riding up on my neck a little, but getting my head and shoulders above the water. The ride is wild and fast and bumpy, like barreling down a cobblestone road in an old jalopy. Waves break over my head as I zoom down into black trenches of water, and then crest the foam. About 75 yards of whitecaps stretch ahead of me, and other than a hard knock against one of the submerged boulders, I sit back, racing along at 30 mph, amazed at the power of the river.
I'm a quarter-mile downstream before I realize I'm clutching my paddle, and that my sunglasses are still attached to my face. Out ahead, the kayakers are picking up the unsold items from our latest garage sale.

By the time we're eight miles downriver, the sun has disappeared behind a wall of trees and we need a place to camp. Up ahead, there's an islet on the left side of the river. After we clear the last set of rapids, Joe paddles over to investigate. It's one of the tiny sliver islands that dot the "merroh-auke," a narrow hump of land bristling with small trees and fringed by a slim gray beach.
Landing the canoes, we level the beach with our paddles, rig up Chris' tent, off-load our gear, and collect driftwood for a fire.
Will hollows out a sand pit by the water's edge. In the twilight, the river takes on a silvery glaze, broad and flat like a mirror. Chris piles up tinder, twigs and a few dead branches, and lights it with a match. The fire smolders, emits a wavering ribbon of smoke, and then blazes up.
Chris grins. "One match," he says.
At the violet hour, we cobble together a meal. There's rolled grape leaves from Korbani's Bakery in Methuen, Massachusetts, Chris' homemade hummus, enchiladas from Dos Amigos in Concord, strips of fresh pineapple and apples smothered in peanut butter. Talk is lively, our voices booming over the water. We trade stories about the worst night we ever spent outdoors, and the best meal we've ever had in the wilderness (Joe: peanut butter and jelly sandwiches cooked in the heat of his backpack, and mushed together during a family expedition to Hampton Beach).
When Chris breaks out the chocolate stout, and Joe produces a flask of bourbon distilled in Tamworth, the conversation pivots to the best single drink of alcohol we've ever had.
Pretty sure I win this category. On a trip across Europe with rugby teammate "Surfer John" Hearin, we stopped in Antibes on the French Riviera where we made the acquaintance of a beautiful, sophisticated blonde woman who owned our cabana. She invited us to dine al fresco with her and two other guests. After feasting on roasted chicken and vegetables, the hostess poured a generous splash of Armagnac into a snifter. She stood beneath a string of white lights hanging from the grape arbor, the smooth planes of her face hovering beside mine as I tried the cognac. Très magnifique.
Darkness falls over a quiet section of the Merrimack River. Photo by Joe Klementovich
After Tanya and the kids turn in, and Joe retires to his bivvy sack, Chris and I pass the flask. In the shorthand of old friends, we discuss our favorite baseball movies ("The Natural," "Bang the Drum Slowly"), Australian actor Guy Pearce's most underrated performance ("The Hurt Locker"), and our best adventures (among them, biking in San Luis Obispo, California, where Chris invented the concept of "Absentee Good Samaritanism," twice borrowing an air pump from a bicycle chained up near an old Spanish mission, replacing it each time).
A few stars are out — heavenly fire shining through the cracks in the firmament, as the ancient Greeks believed. The only sound is the rush and sweep of the river, turned purple in the darkness. I sip from the flask, staring into the flames. Thoreau was right: You can always see a face in the fire.
Chris and I have each lost a friend lately, and we provide a few details about that person's life, and what it means to see them go. Beneath the night sky, Chris and I work out the calculus of risk vs. reward, the dangers of our trip measured against the notion of lived-in time, and what else we went to accomplish before we go.
With no rain expected, we've left off the tent fly, the entire Pierce clan sleeping beside me. To my left, Will is fidgeting in some white water dream. Chris and Tanya are the ultimate helicopter parents — they'd let their kids fly a helicopter, so long as there was a licensed instructor on board. After Will settles down, I cross my forearms behind my head, gazing upward through the mesh ceiling. A full moon, shining like a coin, rides high above the river, momentarily halved by a boat-shaped cloud. I feel a long ways from anywhere, but my friends are close at hand.
I doze off for a while, and rise in the dimness of early morning, quietly gathering sticks and twigs, ripping out an old page from my notebook to use as tinder. One match.
On the other side of our camp, Joe sits up in his bivvy sack. Shaking off the cobwebs, he rigs his fly rod and paddles out to fish the deep portion of the river. The sun edges to the horizon, and the Pierces begin to emerge from the tent, like characters in one of Jack London's stories. Chris makes tea with a quick-boil stove, and soon we've buried the fire, packed the canoes and bagged our trash.
"Leave it the way we found it," Chris says to Kaya.
Beneath glassy blue skies, our little fleet makes its way downstream. The landscape is greener here, hemmed in by trees on both sides, the city noise disappearing behind us.
On the first day, the river had a fetid smell in places, the embankments littered with trash. A bit peeved, Tanya said that if more people fished and paddled along this portion of the Merrimack, it would become known as a wilderness destination and be treated with more respect.
For an hour, the river is wide and flat, reflecting bluebird skies. A bald eagle flies across the river, passing directly in front of us. Like Tanya was saying, there's a lot to recommend this section of the river.
Rounding a bend, we hear a loud, rumbling noise that sounds like a freight train. Joe paddles up from behind us, going forward to explore the next set of rapids.
Tanya, Kaya and I hang back, chatting with Chris and Will. After the hard knocks of the first day, no one would complain about flat, still waters. But 75 yards ahead, Joe paddles over to the lee shore, reaches into his pack, and zips on his PFD.

"Not a good sign," says Tanya, making a face.
Joe returns to our location. Ahead, to the left, we can see two large, gray boulders. One of them is the size of a small house. On the right, there's a maze of steep, triangular whitecaps that continue for a good distance. Joe points out a fallen tree near the boulders, so the only possible route is through the white water.
We're going first. As we paddle out, I glance back at Kaya.
"Pull your knees up to your chest," I say. "I doubt we're going to spill, but if we do, I want you to roll out of the boat. Got it? Get out of the boat right away, and I'll come get you."
For an instant, I stare into Kaya's large, blue-gray eyes. "Right?" I ask her.
Kaya nods. "Right."
We're positioned 50 yards above the first drop, the water roaring. I have to yell over the din. "OK, Tanya," I say. "Paddling."
"OK," she hollers.
There's a smooth, triangular patch of water to our left and right, with a narrow, furrowed, rocky channel straight ahead. This time, we know enough to avoid the flat spots, and enter the deep, watery V with a thump. Instantly, the canoe is rocking and pitching and rolling, waves crashing over the bow, but we've built up enough momentum to cut through the whitecaps.
When a black, table-shaped rock appears out of the foam, I yell, "See it?" to Tanya, and she says, "Yeah. See it!"
The Explorers are this publication's semiofficial outdoors experts. See all of their past adventures here.
We slip by the table rock, and narrowly avoid a small pointy one by shifting our weight to the left. Waves crash over the boat to starboard, and Kaya lets out a high-pitched cry.
"It's all right, kid," I say. "We're good."
Paddling furiously, we cut through the roughest section, skim over a line of diamond-shaped whitecaps, and are deposited into the main channel, following the diminishing thread of the current.
I reach behind my back, and Kaya gives me a fist bump. "Like butter," I say, and she laughs.

DPC's Blog: What is Parvo?
Clients are frequently asking us what "the other vaccines" cover; many of them opting only to do a Rabies vaccine and ignoring the other recommended vaccinations because they don't fully understand what they cover. Rabies is the only vaccine required by law but illnesses that are prevented by vaccines like Distemper/Parvo, and Bordetella, are much more common. That makes these vaccinations just as important as a Rabies vaccine. Read on to learn more about Parvo Virus. Is your pet vaccinated?

I will add cases of MPs who are also wanted for some crime or other on a case-by-case basis. Loutonia Alexander has a warrant for his arrest for failure to appear in court on a minor weed charge, and it seems unlikely he's been hiding since 2006 just because of that.
Sometimes I am a bit leery. Pricella Williams is, for example, listed on the FDLE database as a missing person, so I added her. But I'm pretty sure she's not so much "missing" as "on the run." If you Google her name — and make sure to search for Pricella, not Priscilla — the results are, shall we say, interesting. And the cops were seeking to have her designated a habitual offender, meaning she was facing some serious prison time.
Nevertheless, she is listed as a missing person with FDLE, and so I put her up on Charley. It's entirely on the cards that she hung out with some bad people and something bad happened to her.
I found this PDF of Indiana missing persons and wound up adding dates of birth to loads of cases yesterday. I didn't note this on the updates page cause that was too insignificant an update in my opinion. I did discover, based off those DOBs, that several of the listed ages on these people's NamUs page are wrong.
I can certainly understand why Ryan's family believes he may have ODed or may have met with foul play. The reference to Hells Angels is worrying, though I'm not sure if he literally meant he was involved with them.

A lumbar sympathetic block typically involves a series of injections to relieve low back pain or leg pain (sciatica) caused by complex regional pain syndromes, usually after injury to a joint or limb. It involves an injection of local anesthetic into or around the sympathetic nerves, which are a series of nerves that spread out from the spine to help control involuntary body functions. The nerves are located on either side of the spine, in the low back. A lumbar sympathetic block is used to reduce pain, swelling, color, sweating and other unusual changes in the leg, and improve mobility. It is used to treat Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), Sympathetic Maintained Pain, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, Herpes Zoster (shingles) involving the leg, cancer pain and certain patients with neuropathy or peripheral vascular disease.
The injection takes from ten to thirty minutes and consists of a local anesthetic. On occasion, epinephrine, clonidine or a steroid medication may be added to prolong the effects of the lumbar sympathetic block.
Sympathetic blocks don't work for everyone and the pain relief that they provide may lessen over time. For some, a sympathetic block may provide weeks or months of pain relief, and permanent relief is possible.

Another glorious day yesterday. Too good to stay in, even too good for the spa so off we set to walk part of the way from Barboleuse ( elevation 1211) to Solalex (elevation 1462) a distance of approx 4K. This road is closed to traffic in the winter making Solalex only accessable to skiíers and walkers.
As I am completely out of shape I had no expectation of reaching Solalex but we told ouselves that we would just go to the next corner, then the next etc. And before we knew it we were there ordering a life saving bowl of soup together with a small glass of local wine in the rustic refuge.
Monica then did her little party trick of feinting. She seems to have a problem with melted cheese as in whenever she eats it she passes out! Not funny when you are up a mountain with no way down but the Air Ambulance, a skidoo leaving in another 4 hours or the way we came up - foot! The patron bought a cushion and a blanket, she slept for a while and then announced she would walk down! And how could I argue with a tough old bird like that? Respect! Off she marched with me trailing behind and before long we were enjoying hamburger and chips back at my hotel. I tell you they don't make 'em like that anymore!
Today we were more gentle with ourselves!
I would faint if I didn't get that melted cheese...oh, such fun, living vicariously and vacationing with you in Switzerland.
I just LOVE melted cheese..... so I.m glad that I don't have this problem.
I make that an ascent of 828 feet - no idle matter! Well done, slim cowgirl!
Having met Monica, I can't imagine her ever fainting! I hope she's entirely OK again. Please give her my regards.
PS I agree with the comments about melted cheese - how could one live without it!

The Outtakes – Stramash rehearsals
July 27, 2018 Category: Insight Out
Mike McKenzie and I have been rehearsing like mad to bring you a great show at Stramash on 30 July 9.30pm. While we have had some great rehearsals we've also had some laughs. This exclusive outtakes video will give you an inkling as to what it's like working with Mike as we were trying to rehearse Don't Hold Me Down, which you can hear on Soundcloud.
I'll be performing only four songs from my current albums. Check out the music player on the home page of my website and you'll not only hear Honey Child, Pocketful of Sand, Troubled Town and River Running but two 'Rough Diamond' versions of songs we'll be performing: Find Me by Sigma and Dancing On My Own by Robyn. I guess you could call the latter two audio outtakes :-).
Many of the songs shown below are brand new, have been recorded in the studio but are as yet unreleased. So, you'll be the first to hear them stripped down yet buzzing with energy! Pocketful of Sand will be debuted in French, as will pop acoustic Si Doucement. I'll be singing a few cover song, ones I love and to which I've added a twist in the arrangement.
I'm also delighted to say that Mike will be performing two of his own songs and I'll be accompanying him on guitar. They are beautiful songs and I'm psyched to be supporting another songwriter on stage, something I haven't done before but really enjoy.
So, why not start the Edinburgh Festival with a bang and come and enjoy an evening of new songs, and a few covers with a twist!
Hope to see you there and, for now, roll the outtakes!
List of songs being performed at Stramash on 30 July.

Video captures police officer punching woman in the face
A video posted to Facebook captures an Arizona police officer punching a woman in the face while attempting to arrest her.
Friday, November 18th 2016, 9:19 AM EST
Danny Paredes Esb via Storyful/Facebook
(ABC News) - A video posted to Facebook captures an Arizona police officer punching a woman in the face while attempting to arrest her.
The video shows a woman repeatedly saying she did not do anything wrong and asking if there is a warrant for her arrest.
"You cannot arrest me until I know that I have a warrant," the woman says, while two Flagstaff police officers continue with the arrest.
Suddenly, one of the officers punches the woman in the face, while her acquaintance shoots the video. Someone is heard on the tape calling her "Marissa," saying, "Hey, you can't hit a girl like that."
After a few seconds, the woman starts crying and the officer continues with the arrest.
"You're going to get tased," he is heard saying. "Get on the ground."
The video of the incident has been shared on Facebook 78,000 times so far.
The Flagstaff Police Department said in a statement that on Wednesday evening it "became aware of a Facebook video post of a Flagstaff Police Officer involved in the arrest of an adult female earlier this afternoon."
The department identified Officer Jeff Bonar as the arresting officer and said he has been placed on administrative leave while the incident is under investigation.
The Flagstaff Chief of Police Kevin Treadway said at a news conference Thursday that the video "clearly depicts" Officer Bonar striking the woman "in the face with his fist."
"I am as concerned about what is depicted in the video as I know many others are," Treadway added.
Treadway said they have launched an internal affairs investigation and have also asked the Northern Arizona University Police Department to conduct an independent investigation into the incident.
"So often in cases like these there is a rush to judgment and a call to immediate action," Treadway said, but added that they owe the whole community a "full and complete" investigation.
Bonar had been with the department for just under three years, he said.
According to Sgt. Cory Runge of the Flagstaff Police Department, Bonar had recognized the woman, "as previously having a warrant, which he believed was still valid." He approached her for this reason, he said, and "attempted to detain her while he verified whether the warrant was valid or not."
Treadway said that Bonar filed a report on the incident as well. "In that police report the officer does indicate that he was kicked and that he was knee-ed in the groin prior to the strike occurring," Treadway said.
ABC News attempted to reach Bonar for comment.
The woman who was punched during the attempted arrest has been identified as Marissa Morris. She was released after police confirmed her previous warrants had been cleared. The Flagstaff Police Department has not yet responded to ABC News' request for further comment.


Yesterday, nine whistleblowers from the United Nations Secretariat, Peacekeeping Operations, Funds, Programs and Specialized Agencies, together with the Government Accountability Project, sent an open letter to the Secretary General, setting out the facts about retaliation against whistleblowers throughout the UN system. In the letter, the signatories describe the pattern of reprisal they experienced after reporting wrongdoing. Although they recognize the Secretary General's rhetorical commitment to anti-retaliation policies at the UN, they assert that, in practice, whistleblowers suffer ruinous retaliation, and existing policies fail to protect them.
Ian Richards, President of the UN Coordinating Committee of International Staff Unions and Associations (CCISUA), endorsed the letter with a statement on behalf of his constituency.


AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands – Addressing a specific need in the sports broadcast market, HARMAN's Studer is unveiling a prototype unit designed to provide a more rewarding audio experience for television viewers. Known as the Studer Ball Chaser, this unique product allows broadcast engineers to use a joystick to open the shotgun microphone closest to the action on the playing area, while keeping the other microphones closed.
In efforts to bring the game closer to the viewer, sports broadcasters often place 12 or more shotgun microphones around the playing area to pick up as much of the action as possible. However, leaving all 12 microphones fully or partially open for the whole match results in a lack of detail in the audio mix. Manually opening the microphone closest to the action and closing all the rest for the length of a game is virtually impossible, but the Studer Ball Chaser simplifies this complex task.
the unit with a simple web GUI interface, setting the layout of the physical microphones around the pitch (up to 24 microphones may be used) and linking these to the faders on the desk (mono and stereo faders may be controlled). During the game, simply moving the joystick opens and closes the relevant faders with smooth cross fades. The operator can simply watch the pitch events and open the necessary microphone without looking down at the joystick. Desk faders will respond in real time to the joystick movement and open only the microphone fader nearest to where the action is taking place. In fact, the faders do not even have to be on the active layer of the desk, freeing up valuable fader space.
The Ball Chaser link to the desk is a simple Ethernet connection, so the operator can be some distance from the Vista desk, even watching the action from the stand rather than taking space in the OB truck.
A key advantage of this unit is that it allows more gain to be given to the on-field FX microphones, as the unit always has the equivalent of one open microphone to air. This "single" microphone can have higher gain without the crowd pickup swamping the overall mix.

It's Masters Week! Let's enjoy some Augusta themed tiers (hold the bigotry). First some (mostly bad) closer news.
Jose Leclerc blew a save and couldn't get more than one out with a four-run lead. He's earned some leash, but we've seen ineffective periods from him before. Expensive salads don't melt down. He's downgraded for a spell.
The Mariners can't seem to get their bullpen sorted. Anthony Swarzak is their best arm but that means coming in when it's the seventh or eighth. He should still see more saves than any other reliever for them.
Hate to say I told you so on Trevor May, but also I told you so on Trevor May. When in doubt back greed. His deployment is very characteristic of a team looking to save in arbitration. Not that he won't see any save opps, they'll just be too unpredictable for most of our leagues. Blake Parker gets most of the looks with Taylor Rogers matching up with lefties on occasion.
Raisel Iglesias got through a clean ninth inning for a save finally. That's encouraging but between his struggles and being used in other innings I'm dropping him all the way to the bottom rung until we can feel comfortable in his stuff and role.
Do you own Trea Turner, he of a broken finger? Welcome to the chase for speed with the rest of us schlubs. So much changes in just a week this early on. Keep that in mind as the season unfolds. Too often owners look to trade a strength that can become a deficit with a single poorly gripped bunt attempt. Dig for steals and saves at every turn. It's SAGNOF time!
Let's dust off Grey's tiers for this first closer report of the season. We're one day in and the sky is already falling all over the closer landscape.
We have our first dumpster fire of the season in Arizona. Pudding-brained Toery Lovullo will use the guy with experience in Greg Holland, albeit awful recent experience.
Bruce Bochy did the right thing and confirmed Will Smith will be the closer. A manager making a sensible decision, be still my heart.
Taylor Rodgers earned the opening day save in Minnesota. The matchups dictated a LHP so don't go overboard changing that hierarchy. We need to be aware Rocco Baldeli will mix and match, however.
An old fashioned 6-out save was on the menu for Josh Hader. He needed Lorenzo Cain to bring a homer back over the wall, but the stuff was nasty as ever with plenty of whiffs.
Pedro Strop hammy wasn't a big deal and he's ready to go. Bump him up a tier with another leap pending his hold on the role of.
The Reds and Royals bullpens got off on the wrong foot. Both spots need to be monitored to see if roles are changing.
It's the AL Central's turn to be featured in my "reliever names that might make you vomit" series. These are some of the least stable bullpens in baseball. There's a good chance someone from one of these teams becomes a difference maker in your saves chase, so listen up!

Q: Append a txt file in .Net I am Creating a txt file in.Net with the help of below code.
StreamWriter writerVer = new StreamWriter(@"c:\Version.txt");
writerVer.WriteLine("Version : " + Context.Parameters["ver"]);
File.SetAttributes(@"C:\Version.txt", FileAttributes.Hidden);

Then I need to Update the file on the next line by keeping the above code as it is.
This code overrites the entire file.
StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(@"c:\Version.txt");
writer.WriteLine("Connection string : "+con);

Regrads,
Sachin K

A: try this
 StreamWriter writerVer = new StreamWriter(@"c:\Version.txt", true);

There is an overload of the StreamWriter constructor that takes an additional bool parameter to indicate if you want to append or not.

A: Use the constructor which takes the append boolean parameter to indicate whether to append to the file - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/36b035cb.aspx
StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter("file.txt", true);

A: Alternatively, you could use the static helper methods: File.AppendAllText or File.AppendText.
Note that the latter actually returns a StreamWriter instance, so you'll need to close it before proceeding otherwise you're relying on the GC to do it for you.

When I was watching "Canada's Next Top Model," I was sucked in because of some of the reality scenes of the ladies at the luxurious house the live in. It was funny to see cat fights and crazy dramas. My attention was particularly grabbed at this one episode when a black girl was arguing with an Asian girl (whom I think is annoying and not pretty AT ALL). The reason for their fight was the black girl's tangled afro, which she needed to comb out every night. It always took her 2 hours just to fix her hair and she would do it til late into the night. So, basically, the Asian lady was not able to go to sleep because of the noise from the hair drier, which was on and off numerous times, when she was going to fall asleep.
I sympathize with both the black lady and the Asian lady because I know what it's like to have almost unmanageable hair and to be woken up by irritating noises from the electronics.
I have always wanted to have curly hair because I think it's easier to style than straight hair. I had straight black hair almost my whole life but the itch to try and curl my hair was eating me, especially after seeing Serena Vanderwoodsen's beautiful curly hair in "Gossip Girl." I finally found the guts to go and perm my hair about a month ago. At first, I thought I made the worst choice ever because not only did my hair not turn out to be EXACTLY like Serena's, I found myself looking 10 years older (one of the most important fashion rules is to dress your age--including make up and hairstyle. I totally just broke that one rule that I try so hard to abide by).
Then, I got used to seeing myself with big hair and accepted the fact that I am now 23 (and therefore is okay to look a bit older), I decided I am happy with the decision I made. Now that I am officially a curly-haired babe, I have decided I need to do my part to make the curl works for me. So, I went and get professional help from a hairdresser in Sibu when I was there for Chinese New Year. I ended up buying a few things that I never thought I would use when I had straight hair. Yes, I spent a ton of money on my hair. I also experienced the pain the black girl in Canada's Next Top Model goes through every night.
Here are the things I need to do everyday to keep my hair presentable and healthy.
1. shampooing with hair volumizing shampoo (I really love big hair).
2. use a hair conditioner for dry and damaged hair (My hair's kinda hurt because of the harsh treatment it's been getting the past month: coloring, perming, and blow-drying).
3. After getting out of the shower and half-drying my hair with the towel, I need to brush my hair with this kind of comb (I used to think that this comb was useless because you can't comb straight hair with it but it's a real treasure to me now).
4. put in hair serum to protect my hair from having split-ends. This product smells so good and is really really really good!
5. the liquid hair gel is used to style my hair and keep the curls as curly as possible (my hair has a strong resistance to curliness. It gets straightened way too easily--even by the wind).
6. this thing, I just found out what it's called--diffuser. This I would say is a must for curly-haired babes. Totally necessary to blow dry your hair with this gadget, it makes the hair look soooooo bouncy. I bought a diffuser hoping that it would fit my blow-dryer but it didn't. So, you can imagine how hard it is for me to blow dry my hair (I have to ask Leighton to hold the dryer and the diffuser each time I dry my hair because I simply don't have 3 arms).
7. This baby is so worth the money. It smells real good and work real good too. The girl told me this is sort of like the glue for the hair. It is sticky but when you style it in your hair, it hold the curls in position and gives volume to the hair. I cannot live without it now.
So, I have to say it's fun to have curly hair, but you need patience to go through the hair process daily. I believe that I will be a straight-haired girl again after a year when my hair grow out. I don't have a plan to keep my hair curly after this. Don't get me wrong though, I love curly hair.
Yes, I really do hold the Hair Diffuser thing whenever she washes her hair, haha.
Awww that's so cute!! You guys are pretty much married already. Wait, you have gotten married quite a few times, right?
So, I can't believe you permed your hair!! Wow that was a shocker! I can't wait to see it though! How much was it to get it permed? Well, it's probably a different price in Malaysia huh?
wah..very expensive ah your hair!!!! I need to have my haircut too..it just looks ridiculous now.

The event's main sponsor is Bacardi U.S.A., which provided $50,000. Other sponsors include Del Monte Fresh Produce, the Biltmore Hotel, the University of Miami, The Collection, the Coral Gables Chamber of Commerce, Greenberg Traurig LLC and The Miami Herald.
"The fireworks event brings the entire community together for a wonderful, patriotic, and fun-filled evening," said Mayor Jim Cason said in a press release.
In past years, the Coral Gables' July 4 fireworks attracted 20,000 to 35,000 people a year, making it one of the city's most popular traditions.
This year's event starts at 5 p.m., and the fireworks start at 9 p.m. The event will also include a concert by the Greater Miami Symphonic Band at 7 p.m., along with concessions, and patriotic mascots. Admission will be free, but food, soft drinks and cocktails will be available for purchase.
Free parking will be available at the city garage at 385 Andalusia Ave., a block from City Hall, 405 Biltmore Way, where a free shuttle bus will take visitors to the hotel. The bus also will stop at Coral Gables Youth Center, 405 University Drive, and the Ponce Garage in front of the Bank United Center at the University of Miami.


What are the goals of OpenZika and how are these goals being met?
The main goal of the OpenZika project is to identify promising drug candidates to treat a Zika virus infection. In order to help scientists reach this goal, World Community Grid volunteers are donating their unused computing power to conduct virtual experiments, called "docking calculations." Based on the results of the docking calculations, the researchers will be able to predict which drug candidates are most likely to show promising results in laboratory tests.
How might the data generated on this project be useful to Zika researchers?
World Community Grid volunteers' computers and Android devices will complete virtual screenings of chemical compounds that may be effective against the Zika virus. These virtual screenings will generate data about the potential effectiveness of chemical compounds that could be used as antiviral medicines. Once the virtual screenings are complete, researchers will use the data to test promising compounds in laboratories.
In compliance with World Community Grid policy, the researchers will make their data openly accessible, thereby allowing other scientists to apply their own methods and approaches to further study promising compounds. The open data component of this project (and all other World Community Grid projects) means that the likelihood of finding effective drug treatments for Zika may be higher than if the researchers worked in isolation.
The Zika virus (ZIKV) is a flavivirus (a family of mosquito-borne viruses), which is similar to dengue virus, yellow fever and West Nile virus. The virus has been found to be transmitted by bites from infected Aedes mosquitoes, from mother to fetus, through blood transfusion, urine, saliva, and sexual transmission.
Zika usually only causes relatively mild symptoms such as fever, joint pains, rash, conjunctivitis (red eyes), headache and/or swollen lymph nodes. However, Zika has been recently associated with serious neurological conditions, such as Guillain-Barré syndrome, in adults and children. Additionally, scientists have linked cases of severe brain under-development in some fetuses and infants to mothers being infected with Zika during pregnancy.
Why is Zika a major global health problem?
Zika virus is a global health issue because it spreads rapidly and is related to severe neurological diseases (in adults and children) such as microcephaly, Guillain-Barré syndrome, acute myelitis, and meningoencephalitis. While the Zika virus itself was first identified in the late 1940s, the connection to widespread neurological issues is relatively new because the disease is spreading rapidly to populations that do not have immunity to it.
In February 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General declared that the cluster of microcephaly cases and other neurological disorders reported in Brazil constitutes a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.
There is currently no effective antiviral medication for Zika virus, and no vaccine. Therefore, the disease can continue to spread rapidly if left unchecked.
Which geographic areas and populations are most impacted by Zika?
Since it was first identified in the Zika forest of Uganda, Africa, the Zika virus has spread across Asia, the Pacific, and more recently to the Americas. Serious concerns about the virus have been raised since 2015, due to a rapid rise in infections in the Americas coinciding with an increase in cases of microcephaly and other neurological disorders.
Between 2007 and April 2016, 62 countries reported cases of the Zika virus. Most of these cases occurred in the Americas (Central, North and South), Oceania, Pacific Islands, and Africa. Any areas with active Aedes mosquito populations—particularly tropical and subtropical regions—are vulnerable to the introduction and spread of the Zika virus. Recent estimates from an international group of university researchers suggest that more than two billion people could be potentially at risk.
What are the broader community/public health impacts of Zika?
Without a vaccine or effective antiviral treatments, the Zika virus could continue to spread rapidly. And until scientists have more information about the links between the Zika virus and potential neurological complications, it will be difficult to know the full impact of the virus.
In Brazil alone, the Zika virus has affected millions of people. This caused drops in productivity, and an increased need for healthcare (especially for patients with complications and for infants born with microcephaly).
Additionally, people are less likely to travel to countries with high rates of Zika virus infections, which impacts local economies. Potentially, Zika outbreaks could destabilize governments and increase pressure on healthcare systems.
What measures are being taken in countries where Zika has spread or could potentially spread? What can individuals do to protect themselves from the Zika virus?
Because there is no treatment and no vaccine for the Zika virus, prevention and containment efforts are largely focused on controlling the mosquito population. However, many mosquitoes have become increasingly resistant to insecticides, and the mosquitoes that harbor the Zika virus tend to hide inside homes, which makes eradication difficult.
Some countries with large populations of Aedes mosquitoes have advised women to avoid pregnancy until the Zika outbreak subsides.
Individuals who want to minimize their risk can take actions to avoid mosquito bites, such as wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants, and staying in places with air conditioning and window/door screens to keep mosquitoes outside.
You should refer to government guidelines in your country for the latest advice.
What are the Areas with active Zika virus transmission?
Americas (Central, North and South), Oceania, Pacific Islands, and Africa.
How can I help stop Zika?
You can help stop this virus by joining World Community Grid and contributing to the OpenZika project. When you join, you donate your computer or Android device's unused computing power to run virtual experiments to help researchers identify promising candidates for anti-viral drugs to combat Zika.
What kind of mosquitoes transmit Zika?
The Aedes aegypti mosquito is known to transmit the Zika virus, and researchers believe the Aedes albopictus mosquito may also spread the virus.
What is microcephaly? How is it linked to the Zika virus?
Microcephaly is a condition in which a child's brain fails to develop properly in the womb, often leading to diminished brain size, impaired cognitive ability, motor control problems, seizures and related symptoms. The condition has been found in some infants whose mothers were infected with the Zika virus during pregnancy. In April 2016, a link between the Zika virus and microcephaly was confirmed by the Center for Disease Control.
What are other potential complications that might be linked to the Zika virus?
Why should pregnant women be concerned?
Pregnant women infected with the Zika virus can transmit the virus to the fetus. Additionally, infants of women who are infected with Zika during pregnancy have a higher risk than normal of microcephaly, which is a condition where the brain does not develop properly in the womb. A link between a Zika infection during pregnancy and microcephaly was confirmed in April 2016. Due to this risk, some countries have advised women to delay pregnancy until the Zika outbreak is over.
The flavivirus genus, which includes Zika, dengue, yellow fever, West Nile viruses and others – are viruses which are transmitted to humans by a mosquito or tick bite. The Zika virus is transmitted primarily by two kinds of mosquitos: the yellow fever mosquito (Aedes aegypti) and the Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus).
Can work on related diseases help fight Zika?
Closely related viruses may give clues that could help researchers fight Zika. Though Zika may look like dengue, subtle changes on the virus surface could impact how antivirals or even vaccines may work. The mechanism for these viruses getting into cells and their effects can vary dramatically.
The original description of the virus was published in 1952, although it was originally isolated in 1947 in Uganda, Africa. It was subsequently isolated from mosquitos in 1948 and from humans in 1952. Zika is a re-emerging, mosquito-transmitted virus that was relatively unknown until 2007 when it caused a major epidemic on Yap Island in Micronesia, followed by outbreaks in Oceania in 2013-2014. Following its introduction into Brazil in 2015, the virus has spread rapidly across the Americas.
The symptoms of Zika are usually relatively mild, including fever, joint pains, rash, conjunctivitis (red eyes), headache, and/or swollen lymph nodes.
Zika virus can be diagnosed by performing specific blood serum tests during the first week after onset of symptoms. Additional antibody testing can be performed to confirm an initial diagnosis.
Are there any existing treatments for the Zika virus?
There are currently no treatments for the Zika virus, and there is no vaccine. Because the disease's symptoms are usually mild, it has not been widely researched until the most recent outbreak began in the Americas, and therefore scientists are just beginning to understand the molecular structure of the disease.
Because the Zika virus usually only has mild symptoms, and because it was not widespread until recently, there has been little research on a vaccine until the outbreak in Brazil began in 2015. Currently, there are several groups researching vaccines in India, Brazil and the United States, but no vaccine has been approved as of May 2016.
What is the difference between a vaccine and an antiviral drug?
A vaccine is administered before a person becomes infected. Vaccination usually consists of one or several shots which stimulate the immune system to protect against the virus.
Antiviral drugs are used when a patient is infected with the virus. These drugs must be taken by an infected patient multiple times, until the virus is destroyed.
Are there other research efforts to fight Zika?
There are other efforts to fight the Zika virus throughout the world, most involving research into the atomic structure of the virus itself, and work on potential vaccines based on viruses that are thought to be similar in structure to Zika. Organizations such as the World Health Organization, the Ministry of Health in Brazil, the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz), and the Centers for Disease Control are heavily involved in publicizing and supporting these efforts, and in encouraging researchers to share their data. Limited funding makes many research efforts difficult.
How is this project different from other research efforts?
The OpenZika project is searching for potential antiviral drugs to combat the virus, whereas many other projects are looking for a vaccine or studying the structure of the Zika virus itself.
The exact, atomic scale structures of most of the proteins that play a key role in the Zika virus lifecycle have yet to be determined (by experiments called "X-ray crystallography"). Until then, scientists will use approximate structures derived from a process called "homology modeling." This involves using the genetic information for the Zika proteins and looking for very similar target proteins from other organisms, such as the dengue virus, for which some of the protein structures are known at atomic detail. These known structures (called "templates") are then used as the basis to develop models of the targets that likely resemble the Zika proteins.
As scientists learn more about the structure of the Zika virus, they will be able to focus on the target proteins that are most crucial to finding antiviral drugs.
What efforts are there to control the mosquitos that transmit Zika?
Countries in South America and Central America have launched plans to contain and eliminate mosquitos through widespread use of insecticides, mosquito traps, bedding nets, window screens, and other measures. In the United States, similar measures are being planned under the direction of the Centers for Disease Control. These measures are helpful, but can be limited by the fact that Aedes mosquitoes tend to hide in homes, and are becoming increasingly resistant to many insecticides.
Where can I learn more about Zika?

New project! Next zero emission ferry for Nelton.
Nelton is proud to inform, that it has signed a contract with Fjellstrand shipyard for designing a fully electric, battery powered ferry of the ZeroCat type.
The ferry will operate the route between Halhjem and Våge in Hordaland Norway. The distance between is approximately 12 kilometers
The vessel is a bigger and further developed version of the "Ampere" – also designed by Nelton, which in 2015 made history being the world's first car ferry to be driven only by batteries. The new vessel will be equipped for both higher speed and longer range. In addition to the battery systems, bio-diesel generators will be installed as back up when charging is not available.
"Ampere" has been in operation for two years and has sailed a distance equivalent to 4 times around the Equator, giving valuable experiences to the further evolution of zero emission technology for ferries and ships.
The fully electric ferry will have a length of 87,5 meters and a beam of 20,8 meters and will carry 120 cars, 12 trucks and a passenger area to accommodate 296 passengers. In order to optimize for lowest possible energy consumption the vessel will be built in aluminum with a catamaran hull.
Zero emission and low energy consumption are key elements for future, we hope this will be another step proving that this way of development is correct.
The delivery is planned at the end of 2018.
