There is a rich array of timely high-frequency electronic data that potentially is informative about current economic conditions. In particular, data on electronic transactions and internet searches can be useful complements to more standard indicators of economic activity. While a limited selection of electronic data is currently used by national statisticians in the production of economic indicators, electronic data are likely to become an increasingly important source of information.
Assessing current economic activity is an important part of macroeconomic policymaking. However, official economic statistics can take some time to compile and to be published. For example, quarterly gross domestic product (GDP) figures are released around nine weeks after the end of the relevant quarter. As a result, the Reserve Bank looks at a range of more timely, but less complete, indicators to gauge current conditions in the economy, such as the various business surveys and the Bank's business liaison program.
Over recent years, however, technological developments, and the digitisation of information and activity, have generated a vast array of electronic data, which can potentially be analysed on a daily basis, or even in real time. Some of these data cover very large numbers of individuals and businesses – far more than many traditional surveys used by statistical agencies – and have the potential to be useful for monitoring and measuring aggregate economic conditions. While official statisticians are increasingly using electronic data in the production of economic indicators, this is still very much in its infancy. Economists and policymakers are also making greater use of electronic data to understand economic developments and as a cross-check on data from official agencies.
This article examines the usefulness of wholesale and retail electronic transactions data and internet search data in assessing current economic activity. Given the growth of electronic payments and internet use by Australian households and businesses, these data can help to track economy-wide spending and activity. While wholesale and retail payments data already provide some additional information on national accounts aggregates, and internet search data also appear promising as economic indicators, these sources are expected to become even more useful in the future, as new technology is adopted and electronic means of payment evolve further. As such, these data are worth monitoring more closely.
Payments generated by corporates and financial institutions reflect a wide range of activities such as purchases of goods, business investment, imports and exports, and financial transactions. Recently, wholesale payments data have attracted attention as a potential economic indicator, with the financial message service provider SWIFT releasing an index that helps to predict OECD GDP growth using SWIFT payments sent on behalf of corporate customers. SWIFT (2012) suggests that inclusion of customer-to-customer payment volumes data can improve the explanatory power of a simple model of GDP growth.
In Australia, data are available on the SWIFT payments settled across the Reserve Bank Information and Transfer System (RITS), which is Australia's real-time gross settlement system. Although banks can use various payment instruments for their customers' transactions, large-value corporate customer payments will usually be sent using SWIFT, particularly wholesale transactions relating to business investment.
These data have several advantages over other more established indicators of economic activity. They are very timely, with a day's payment data available at the conclusion of each business day. They cover a very large number of payments and being actual fund transfers of banks and their customers are free from reporting error and revisions. However, RITS transaction data do have some limitations. The data include financial transactions and clearly exclude many small transactions by individuals and businesses, while shifts between payment methods can introduce volatility. Also, payments between two customers holding accounts at the same bank will not normally be sent to RITS for settlement and are therefore not captured in the data. The historical time series is also relatively short compared with more established indicators. While electronic payments data clearly have their limitations, it is worth noting that existing measures, such as GDP and gross national expenditure (GNE), are also imperfect estimates of actual economic activity.
Nevertheless, SWIFT payments track changes in these measures of economic activity reasonably well (Graph 1, Table 1). Interestingly, the number, rather than the value, of payments is more highly correlated with economic activity. This may be because volatility in the values series is affected by large financial transactions, such as swaps, which are not directly relevant for measuring economic output and demand. The relationships with real and nominal measures of economic activity are similar. Given the greater emphasis on real measures of activity in economic analysis, the following analysis focuses on the usefulness of electronic payments as an indicator of real measures of economic activity.
where survey is the NAB survey measure of business conditions.
The results suggest that SWIFT payments data do indeed contain additional information, as the fit of the models improves noticeably, with the models explaining an additional 10–30 per cent of the quarterly movement in broad measures of economic activity, relative to the baseline model (Table 2). This improvement is comparable to that achieved with the inclusion of the business conditions survey measure in the baseline model. The inclusion of the payments variable also slightly improves the models' out-of-sample predictive ability (to a greater extent than the inclusion of the survey variable), as shown by the fall in the mean absolute error (MAE), which is the average absolute difference between predicted and actual quarterly growth in the economic variable for the quarter ahead.
where PC is the estimated first principal component of other timely indicators (either 'survey variables' or 'all variables').
The inclusion of a SWIFT payments variable into the baseline models improves their explanatory power, as shown by the increase in the adjusted R2 figures (Table 3). The inclusion of the payments variable also improves the models' out-of-sample predictive ability, as shown by falls in the MAEs. However, the MAE results appear somewhat sensitive to the length of the period chosen for the out-of-sample forecasts. Nonetheless, the results from the various tests suggest that wholesale SWIFT electronic transactions data have some relationship with key economy-wide measures of activity and, moreover, contain useful information in addition to that already reflected in other timely indicators.
Electronic data are also generated when consumers and businesses use credit and debit cards to purchase goods and services. With the growing adoption of electronic means of payment, such electronic transactions data are a potentially rich and timely source of information on economic activity. In Australia, such data are collected from financial institutions by the Reserve Bank and published as part of the monthly Retail Payments Statistics (RPS).
These data have several advantages as indicators of household consumption and broader measures of spending. First, the data are close to a census of transactions in the economy (for the non-cash payment methods covered); data are drawn from most financial institutions that have retail payment operations and some other payment system participants and are therefore subject to only minor sampling error, which can be a significant problem for traditional statistical survey collection. For this reason, and similar to wholesale payments, the retail transaction data could reasonably be considered as an alternative indicator of activity in their own right. Furthermore, the data cover a wider variety of sales than other indicators – such as the ABS Retail Trade Survey (which tends to capture the sale of goods rather than services). Indeed, the monthly value of electronic card transactions is more than twice the monthly value of retail sales (but still less than total household consumption spending). It is also possible to obtain an indication of trends in some economic activities that cannot be gleaned from official statistics, such as online purchases or purchases overseas.
On the other hand, the RPS data do have some limitations. Importantly, they do not capture all transactions in the economy: for example, purchases made using cash, among other payment methods, are not directly included. The data also capture a mix of consumer and business transactions, which could weaken their ability to track consumer spending. The data also include spending on both final and intermediate goods and services, whereas the latter is excluded from economy-wide measures of spending; this raises the possibility of multiple transactions being recorded even though they relate to just one final good or service. Finally, since data are collected from a large number of financial institutions for the construction of these statistics, they are less timely than some other indicators of spending, being published around six weeks after the end of the reference month.
Overseas research suggests that electronic card transactions are a potentially useful complement to more traditional monthly indicators of spending. In New Zealand, Minish (2007) shows that monthly electronic transactions data by industry type are useful as an early indicator of retail sales and broader consumer spending. Similarly, Galbraith and Tkacz (2007) find that high-frequency Canadian debit card transactions data can reduce consensus forecast errors for GDP and consumption growth, and help to predict future revisions to official data.
To assess whether retail payments data can serve as a useful indicator of spending in Australia, a similar analysis to the previous section is employed. Both the value and number of electronic card transactions are considered, as well as 'purchases only' transactions, which exclude cash withdrawals and cash advances. The sample period is relatively short, as the complete set of credit and debit card statistics is only available from late 2002, and the data are affected by various payments system reforms, which changed the relative cost and usage of different payment methods. Nonetheless, it is possible to draw some tentative conclusions.
Correlation analysis suggests that there is a potentially useful relationship between the value of 'purchases only' retail transactions and official spending measures (Graph 2, Table 4). Although the correlations are low for GDP, they are noticeably higher for measures of domestic spending. This is consistent with retail payments data measuring spending on cards issued in Australia, which includes spending on imports – for example, when the cards are used overseas – but not exports. However, growth in the number of retail card transactions is not closely related to growth in economic activity. This result perhaps reflects the ongoing structural shift from cash to electronic means of payment, which appears to be having a larger impact on the total number of transactions than the total value (that is, the average size of electronic transactions has declined); once this transition has run its course, however, the electronic transactions data will cover a larger, and arguably more representative, share of aggregate spending, which is expected to improve their usefulness as an indicator. Finally, the correlations are broadly similar for nominal and real measures of activity. Given this, and in line with the previous section, the following analysis focuses on 'purchases only' electronic transactions as an indicator of real measures of economic activity.
Following the same approach employed in the previous section, the inclusion of electronic purchases modestly improves the fit of autoregressive models of spending, although the adjusted R2 statistics remain low (Table 5). For household consumption and retail sales, the improvement also slightly exceeds that achieved by alternatively including a survey measure of consumer sentiment in the models. The inclusion of electronic purchases also slightly improves the models' out-of-sample predictive ability for domestic demand, albeit little more than the improvement achieved with the inclusion of a survey variable. These findings suggest that retail payments data may be better indicators of household demand than broader measures of spending (such as GDP or GNE), which is consistent with the majority of card transactions being conducted by individuals rather than businesses.
In models where growth in spending is explained by the first principal component of various timely data (including retail sales), the inclusion of the electronic purchases variable resulted in little change to the explanatory power (Table 6). Similarly, the inclusion of retail transactions data did not reduce the forecast errors for any of the economic variables.
Retail payments data are also available on a daily basis from RITS. While the collection method is different, conceptually these data represent a sub-sample of the RPS electronic transactions data; the narrower scope of these data reflects the fact that payments between customers holding accounts at the same bank will not normally be sent to RITS for settlement and are therefore not captured. The RITS data are also less detailed than the monthly RPS; for example, 'purchases only' transactions cannot be identified separately as in the above analysis. However, the RITS data are extremely timely, as a day's payments are available at the close of business the same day. Moreover, when aggregated to a monthly or quarterly frequency, the daily RITS data are highly correlated with the RPS data. Given this, it is not surprising that the above analysis yields very similar results when conducted with the RITS data.
In summary, the retail electronic transactions data appear to be of some use in providing a timely read on official measures of domestic demand. In particular, the transactions data performed somewhat better than consumer sentiment in raising the explanatory power of simple models of household consumption and retail sales. However, official statistics themselves are not free of measurement error. For example, the ABS has identified the real-time measurement of households' spending on services as an area for improvement in their Forward Work Program. Given that retail electronic transactions data are an independent measure of spending in the economy, and include spending on some services, these kinds of data are likely to be used more extensively in official measures of spending in the future. Together with the fact that the structural shift towards electronic payment methods will eventually run its course, this suggests that both the very timely and high-frequency RITS payments data and the RPS data will become increasingly useful for monitoring current economic conditions in the years ahead.
In addition to the electronic transactions data collected by the Bank, some financial institutions publish monthly indices of activity based on electronic transactions, such as those made through their merchant facilities or on the credit and debit cards issued by them. These include the Commonwealth Bank 'Business Sales Indicator' (CBA BSI), the ANZ 'Small Business Sales Trends' index and the NAB 'Online Retail Sales Index'.
As with electronic payments data more generally, the scope of these data suggests that they could be useful indicators of various types of spending in the economy. Moreover, the indices have a timely release of three to four weeks after the reference month, and therefore precede the publication of monthly ABS retail sales data and quarterly household consumption data in the national accounts. Each index also provides an independent measure of some types of spending that are less well measured in official data and not separately identified in the RPS data, such as spending at service providers and at overseas online retailers. However, the transactions underlying each of these indices are only a sample of all electronic transactions, and payments more generally, and the extent to which they are representative of broader spending patterns may change over time.
A particular advantage of the CBA BSI, compared with the RPS data considered in the previous section, is that the data are broken down by 20 merchant types. This enables spending to be tracked at a much more detailed level. For example, it is possible to construct separate measures of spending on goods and services – the measure of services spending could be particularly useful given the paucity of indicators for this type of expenditure (Graph 3). It is also possible to create a 'household BSI' by excluding certain business-related categories, which should enhance its usefulness as an indicator of household spending.
When the CBA BSI data are analysed as in the previous section, the pattern of results are generally similar to those obtained using the RPS data. Nevertheless, a few differences emerge. Although the RPS data are somewhat more correlated with most official measures of activity, the CBA BSI is more correlated with real retail sales. This may partly reflect the fact that the CBA BSI measures spending in Australia (at CBA merchant facilities), similar to the Retail Trade Survey, while the published RPS data measure spending on Australian-issued cards and so include overseas spending. The ability to identify spending by different types of retailer separately also means that the CBA BSI is more useful than the broader electronic transactions data for analysing more detailed official statistics on monthly retail sales.
Access to the internet has become pervasive in Australia and internet use continues to grow strongly, with households increasingly using the internet to compare and buy goods and services, access government services and engage in online banking. Accordingly, data on internet usage can provide useful information about economic activity.
One such measure of internet activity is the volume of internet searches – how often particular terms are entered into search engines. As noted in McLaren and Shanbhogue (2011), internet search data have a number of benefits when compared with other economic indicators: the data are available weekly and are therefore very timely, cover a large sample of households and businesses, and avoid the rigidity of survey questionnaires. In particular, internet search data can provide insight into issues not well covered by existing consumer or business surveys, or official data, such as novel or unexpected developments. For example, the rise of online shopping, especially at overseas retailers, has been difficult to track owing to a lack of official data, but Google search data for various relevant search terms such as 'Amazon' and 'online shopping' are useful indicators of the recent increase in this activity (Graph 4). Nonetheless, there are a range of drawbacks with internet search data, including their relatively short history, the possibly unrepresentative nature of the sample given the variation in internet use across different groups by age and income, and the likelihood of considerable noise in the data (owing to factors such as changes in the market share of firms like Amazon, and changes in search terms and behaviour).
A growing literature has found that online search data – typically sourced from Google – can yield valuable insights into current economic trends. Following early work by Ettredge, Gerdes and Karuga (2005), which found that web search data were useful in forecasting official unemployment data, Choi and Varian (2009a, 2009b, 2011) show that search engine data can help forecast near-term motor vehicle sales, initial jobless claims and home sales in the United States, as well as visitors to Hong Kong. Indeed, there are now a wide range of research papers analysing data from various countries, which find relationships between search data and housing market indicators, particularly dwelling sales and prices, unemployment, and household consumption and confidence. Accordingly, replicating and extending these analyses with Australian data may yield useful results; for example, internet search data in Australia appear promising as a timely leading indicator of the unemployment rate (Graph 5). Furthermore, the usefulness of internet search data is likely to increase with time, as the history of data increases, as internet use becomes more pervasive across the population, as more economic activities become linked in with the internet, and as the availability and flexibility of internet search data continue to improve.
Electronic indicators provide timely information about spending in the economy. Wholesale and retail payments data from RITS are available daily, search data from Google are currently available at a weekly frequency with minimal lag, and detailed transactions data from commercial banks are available less than four weeks after the end of each month. Electronic data can also provide information on activity that is not available from official statistics or surveys of businesses and households. Wholesale and retail payments data appear to contain useful information about aggregate economic indicators. These payments data capture a very large sample of actual economic activity and, along with other electronic data, are likely to be used increasingly by official statisticians and others to improve the real-time measurement of economic aggregates. Both payments and internet search data are likely to become more useful as economic indicators over time as payments behaviour and internet usage become more stable. Accordingly, electronic indicators of economic activity will continue to be monitored in assessing current conditions.

Popular Afghan professor arrested for criticising Taliban regime on social media
Dachen Isaac
A popular Afghanistan law professor, Faizullah Jalal, has been arrested for criticising the Taliban regime on social media, a spokesman for the government said in a statement on Sunday.
Jalal, a prominent don at the Kabul University, who was arrested in the early hours of Saturday in the capital, has a long reputation as a critic of Afghanistan's leaders in the past and has openly criticised the Taliban's hardline regime since they seized power last year.
Prof. Jalal has made several appearances on television talk shows since the previous US-backed government was ousted in August, and in almost all his interviews, blamed the Taliban for the worsening financial and economic crisis in the country and criticising them for ruling by force.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid, who confirmed the arrest of Jalal in a tweet, said the critic had been detained over statements he made on social media in which he was "trying to instigate people against the system and was playing with the dignity of the people."

"He has been arrested so that others don't make similar senseless comments in the name of being a professor or scholar that harm the dignity of others," Mujahid wrote.
Mujahid also shared screenshots of tweets he claimed had been posted by Jalal, which said the Taliban intelligence chief was a stooge of Pakistan, and that the new government considers Afghans as "donkeys".
In one television appearance, Jalal called Taliban spokesman Mohammad Naeem who was also participating in the program, a "calf", which Afghans see as a grave insult.
Jalal's wife Massouda, a one time presidential candidate in Afghanistan, making her the first woman in the country to run for the presidency, posted on Facebook that her husband had been arrested by Taliban forces and detained in an unknown location.
"Dr. Jalal has fought and spoken out for justice and the national interest in all his activities pertaining to human rights," she wrote.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 9X13-inch baking dish with foil and coat the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
Whisk together the 3 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, chili powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large shallow bowl or pie plate. Add the pork and turn each piece to coat with the cinnamon mixture.
In a large, 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat another tablespoon or so of olive oil over medium heat until hot and rippling. Add the pork and brown on all sides, 2-3 minutes per side.
Transfer the browned pork to the prepared baking pan (if your skillet is oven-safe, you can simply pop it into the oven and save having to clean up an extra pan). Bake for 16-18 minutes (more or less) until an instant read thermometer registers 145 degrees in the thickest part of the pork. Cover the pork with foil and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving with the apple salsa.
For the apple salsa (this can be prepared while the pork is cooking), combine all the apple salsa ingredients, stirring well to coat the apples with the lime juice and other ingredients. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

The European Commission has issued a proposal for a new Regulation on the free flow of non-personal data ("the Proposal").
The Commission adopted a Communication in January 2017 on "Building a European Data Economy", in which its work on free flow of data was announced in the context of actions to enhance the data economy. The Commission then launched a public consultation and dialogue with stakeholders to gather further evidence on the issues restricting the free flow of data.
Difficulties in switching service providers (such as cloud) because of vendor lock-in practices. The Proposal is intended to address these obstacles and remove barriers to data mobility. This is important for the data economy because removing data localisation restrictions is expected to generate additional growth of up to 4% GDP by 2020 (as estimated by Deloitte in one of the support studies). It will also drive down the cost of data services, providing customers greater flexibility in organising their data management and data analytics, while expanding their use and choice of providers.
In practice, these obstacles mean that a business may not be or feel free to make full use of cloud services, choose the most cost-effective locations for IT resources, switch between service providers, or port its data back to their own IT systems. The Commission considers that with the principle of free flow of non-personal data, businesses can avoid duplication of data at several locations, may feel more confident to enter new markets, and scale-up their activities more easily.
The Proposal is intended to address these obstacles and remove barriers to data mobility. This is important for the data economy because removing data localisation restrictions is expected to generate additional growth of up to 4% GDP by 2020 (as estimated by Deloitte in one of the support studies). It will also drive down the cost of data services, providing customers greater flexibility in organising their data management and data analytics, while expanding their use and choice of providers.
How does the Proposal sit with the EU personal data regulatory framework?
The new framework for the free movement of non-personal data is intended to complement existing EU legislation for personal data (including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the e-Privacy Directive (2002/58/EC) and the Police Directive (2016/680)), which already provides for the free movement and portability of personal data within the EU. The Proposal avoids duplication and ensures consistency with these existing legal instruments, while seeking to provide the same free movement rules to the storage and processing of electronic data other than personal data in the EU.
The Proposal will clearly benefit both businesses and business users of data storage or other processing services. By ensuring the free flow of non-personal data within the EU, companies will have access to a wider choice of service providers offering competitive rates, thus enabling them to choose the most cost-effective IT solutions. The cloud industry also sees this as a positive move, with CISPE, the trade association of cloud computing infrastructure companies in Europe, describing the Proposal as a "major step forward for Europe's cloud industry".
However, it remains to be seen whether the UK will benefit from the Proposal after it leaves the EU, because there would need to be some form of agreement with the EU on the cross-border flow of non-personal data. It is possible that this could be addressed as part of the UK's discussions with the EU on cross-border transfers of personal data post-Brexit, although this will presumably depend on whether the proposed Regulation is effective before Brexit.

Last week, I walked to the last remaining Hungarian food store in my Manhattan neighborhood to buy my favorite paprika, freshly imported from Hungary. On the way home, I reflected on what it was like when I first moved into this part of the Upper East Side in New York City, and how much living in the neighborhood has influenced my cooking.
Over a hundred years ago, so many Hungarian immigrants settled into this area of Manhattan that it was called Little Hungary. From all over the city, people came to shop at the food stores and eat at the great Hungarian restaurants. My father preferred The Budapest, where the chicken paprikash was so tender the meat fell off the bone into a creamy sauce tinted orange-pink by the paprika. Mopping up the sauce with spaetzle, tiny golden dumplings, was bliss.
When I began living here in 1980, the restaurants were gone but the famous Hungarian food emporiums, including Paprikas Weiss and Lekvar by the Barrel, remained. They were emporiums because they sold poppy seeds, ground nuts, spices and lekvar, thick fruit butters, tart-sweet, made of prune or apricot. They also offered the metal spaetzle makers, pastry tins, hand-painted platters, and even the embroidered table linens used at an authentic Hungarian feast.
The sales clerks loved explaining how to make dishes properly. From them, I learned the difference between the creamy goulash I thought was Hungarian and a genuine gulyás, a soupy stew whose origins go back to the ninth century, when shepherds cooked meat and onions slowly in an iron kettle.
The only proper seasoning for gulyás, I was told, is caraway seeds and paprika. Of course, the paprika should be the sweet or hot Hungarian kind, now sold in many supermarkets. I was also warned to always add some warm water before pouring in the broth, because this keeps the meat from turning hard.
Hungarian Gulyas, Medieval Style – Makes 4 servings.
Heat the oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion until it is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the meat and cook, turning the pieces until no longer red on the outside. Mix in the garlic and paprika. Cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
Stir in the warm water, scraping the pan to dislodge any food stuck at the bottom. Add the broth and caraway seeds. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer gently until the meat is tender, 40 minutes to 1 hour.
Add the tomatoes, green and red peppers and the potatoes. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
If not serving immediately, store, covered, in the refrigerator and reheat before serving. If desired, garnish each serving with a tablespoon of sour cream.
Per serving: 288 calories, 8 g. total fat (2 g. saturated fat), 27 g. carbohydrate, 4 g. protein, 4 g. dietary fiber, 247 mg. sodium.

All You'll Need to Know About the Herpes Simplex Virus
Does Herpes Affect Your Pregnancy And Baby
Important Facts About Chickenpox
Shingles And Herpes Zoster
Genital herpes is a viral disease that is caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection. There are two variants of this virus, namely HSV-1 and HSV-2. Each type causes characteristic symptoms and patterns of pathogenesis in the infected individual. Although most people know it as a sexually transmitted infection (STI), genital herpes can be transmitted from one person to another by non-sexual means such as direct contact with the genitals of an infected person or their genital secretions.
Herpes has afflicted human-kind for centuries and the evidence of its long presence in human history can be found in ancient literature. Giving us the first glimpse of this malady is none other than Hippocrates himself. During his lifetime (460 - 370 BCE) he wrote about the symptoms of herpes. And the word herpes also has its roots in the Greek word "herpein" which means to crawl, after the manner of the disease's spread over the affected areas. Records of great Roman physicians such as Celsus trying to develop a treatment regimen to the illness also bears witness to the affliction of Romans by the disease.
In the recent centuries, the 19th and 20th, more about the mechanisms of transmission of the disease and its treatment have been elucidated. However, until 1975 herpes was treated no worse than a common cold in most nursing and medical textbooks. It was after the development of the drug acyclovir that the pharmaceutical company Burroughs Wellcome launched a campaign to publicize the illness, as part of an extensive marketing strategy. For a long time, it has aroused the interest of scientific communities, public health officials and more pharmaceutical companies alike to forge discoveries in the transmission and possible cures for the disease.
Despite its long history and enormous efforts that have been made towards finding a cure for this disease, it still remains a thorn in the flesh as no vaccine and cure have been found to halt its transmission and eliminate it.
Genital herpes has a worldwide presence and is of a considerable epidemiological and public health interest according to major health bodies. Some statistics show that the infection rate of herpes simplex viruses is almost 90-percent. Although some of the people that are infected with the viruses show definitive symptoms of the disease, most do not. And this presents a huge challenge as the asymptomatic persons have more significant risks in transmitting the virus to others.
Transmission of the virus may occur horizontally as in the case of sexual or contact transmission or vertically as in the mother to child scenario. The number of HSV-2 infections has considerably increased in the recent years while that of HSV-1 has not. Evidence also suggests that HSV-1 is the most prevalent amongst the children, but HSV-2 does not occur until the age of puberty as sexual maturity is attained.
A lot of continental data and statistics concerning the seroprevalence of the virus types, the average age of infections, intersexual differences in acquiring the infection and risk groups have been generated as a result of the efforts to curb the spread of the disease. However, it should be of note that even within individual continents, there are marked disparities in the statistics among different countries. For example, the common age of HSV-1 infection in Central and Eastern European countries is from 5-9 years, while the typical age in Northern European countries like Germany its about 25 years - a wide difference indeed.
Cause and transmission
Genital herpes is caused by HSV-1 and HSV-2 viruses of the herpes virus family and transmitted through sexual contact, contact with genital blisters of the infected persons or their secretions. These may include practices such as kissing, oral sex or anal sex. However, one cannot get the disease from objects such as toilet seats, clothing, and bedding used by an infected person since the virus is only viable outside the body for a short time.
Most people who are infected by the virus do not know they are infected by the virus since the symptoms are often mild and are flu-like. Sometimes, during the latency period of the virus, the symptoms may be totally absent. However, as the disease progresses, the signs and symptoms become more definitive and may signal the presence of an infection.
Typically, the symptoms begin to show within a range of 2 - 12 days after exposure to the virus. They may include:
Itching or pain and tenderness in the infected genital area
Red and bumpy or tiny white vesicular lesions
Ulcers when the herpes blisters burst open
Scabs and skin crusting that result from the healing of the ulcers
These lesions typically develop in the area that is exposed to infection but one may spread them from those areas to others by scratching then rubbing onto other body surfaces. The patterns and location of the vesicles may vary depending on the type of virus infecting and the sex of the infected person.
HSV-1 infections typically produce lesions that are above the waist (including oral) while HSV-2 infections produce those that are below the waist (typically genital). Both men and women can have the sores on the buttocks, anus, mouth, and urethra. However, there are some differences between them such that women can also develop sores in the vaginal area, cervix and their external genitalia while men can have them on the penis and the scrotal area.
These lesions can also be accompanied by flu-like symptoms such as swelling of the lymph nodes in areas such as the groin, headaches, aching muscles, and fevers.
Clinical complications
Accompanying genital herpes disease, are other clinical complications that depend on the type of causative virus. Some of them may be due to primary infections while others may be due to recurrent infection. However, most manifest in both cases.
Although genital herpes itself has been a result of HSV-2 infection for a long time, recent dynamics in people's sexual practices such as oral sex have seen even HSV-1 leading to genital herpes as oral lesions serve as sources of infection to the genital areas. The stark boundary between the two has slightly dimmed as a result and further compounded the complications associated with this disease.
For the sake of clarity, it is prudent to classify the complications according to the causative virus.
HSV-1
It typically causes:
Gingivostomatitis - this occurs primarily in children and is characterized by fever and vesicular lesions. It is mostly asymptomatic in the children but when the symptoms occur, they are more severe in the primary infection than in the recurrent infection. Even without treatment, they heal spontaneously.
Herpes labialis - this is the recurrent form of gingivostomatitis and it characteristic sign is a mucocutaneous lesion at the junction of the lips.
Encephalitis - due to lesions to one of the temporal lobes, herpes may lead to a fever headache, fever, seizures and generally an altered mental status, characterizing encephalitis. This condition occurs in both the primary and recurrent forms of the infection.
Herpetic whitlow - this is a pustular lesion of the fingers and the hands. Results from contact with the lesions as in the case of most medical personnel.
HSV-2 complications are somewhat fewer than those of HSV-1 but in most cases more disturbing. They are:
Genital lesions - this is the cardinal complication of this infection. The lesions typically occur on the genitals and in the anal regions and are more severe in the primary infection than in the recurrent infection. However, the lesions that occur in the prostate, urethra, and cervix are majorly asymptomatic and may serve as sources of infection.
Neonatal herpes - it affects infants and is transmitted to them during childbirth when the baby comes into contact with herpetic lesions in the vaginal canal. It may be characterized by encephalitis, lesions (which may affect the skin, eyes, and mouth) or be asymptomatic.
Aseptic meningitis may also occur but this is a mild and self-limiting complication.
Pathogenic profile, recurrence, and immunity
The mechanism of pathogenesis is almost similar for both of the causative viruses. In all, the virus moves from the initial site of infection to the neurons of the affected area, in which they migrate by retrograde axonal transport to the ganglions where they eventually lodge.
HSV-1 lodges in the trigeminal ganglion, which explains why most of its lesions occur above the waist and particularly in the face. HSV-2, however, settles in the lumbar and sacral ganglia, a phenomenon that informs the prevalence of its lesions below the waist especially in the genital and anal regions. In the ganglia, the viruses are latent, with the viral DNA in the cytoplasm and unintegrated into the host's nuclear DNA such that during this period, the infection is largely asymptomatic.
The virus can be reactivated from its latency by aggravating factors such as stress, trauma, fever, hormonal changes, and sunlight. When activated, the virus moves from the ganglion to the neurons where it replicates in the skin covered by the dermatomes of the neuron to give rise to vesicular lesions. The vesical basically contains cellular debris and the viral particles, with multinucleated giant immune cells at its base. This explains why the bursting of the vesicles leads to the transmission of infection.
Recurrence of viral infection occurs due to the incompetence of the immune system in containing the infection; as it occurs even with the circulation of IgG antibodies. Statistics show that after the first episode of infection, the recurrence rates stand at, at least once in eighty percent of those infected with HSV-2 while at 50-percent for HSV-1. Further figures show that HSV-2 recurs about 4 to 6 times in a year as opposed to once recorded for HSV-1 infections.
Immunity against herpes is virus type-specific but sometimes there may be cross-immunity. Cell-mediated immunity plays the major role in eliminating the infected cells as shown by rapid recurrence and re-infection when this arm of the immune system is suppressed.
Diagnosis and differential diagnoses
Clinical diagnosis can be made by observing the symptoms and signs that the infected person presents with. However, this method is heavily unreliable since herpes infections symptoms may overlap with or be similar to those of other infections such as molluscum contagiosum, syphilis or hidradenitis suppurativa. Therefore, the most definitive means of detecting the infection is through running laboratory tests. There are two major ways in which this can be done:
Isolating the virus from the lesion fluid by letting it grow in a cell culture, in which it causes a cytopathic effect. The virus can then be detected using fluorescent antibody assay, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
Taking blood samples and performing serologic tests such as the neutralization test. However, this is of no use for those having recurrent infections as antibodies against the virus have already been formed.
Treatment and prevention
Valacyclovir and famciclovir are the primary drugs used in the treatment of genital herpes and the suppression of its recurrences. It should be noted, however, that no drug currently exits that can prevent the recurrence of infection or eliminate the viral infection in its latent stage. However, long-term suppression of recurrences can be achieved by prophylactic administration of acyclovir, valacyclovir, and famciclovir. No complete cure for the disease has yet been found.
Acyclovir is the treatment of choice for systemic diseases and encephalitis caused by HSV-1.
Herpes infection can be prevented primarily by avoiding contact with the infected lesions or ulcers. This can be achieved by resorting to cesarean delivery for term mothers with active infection of the virus and abstinence. Some research has also shown that male circumcision significantly reduces the risks of infection, but one should not be deceived to think that it is fully preventive.
Research and general outlook
A lot of research interest has gone into the study of HSV in order to find a cure or better still a vaccine for this incurable disease. One of the most mammoth projects that have been flagged off to find the herpes vaccine is the International Herpes Vaccine Project that is funded by the National Institute of Health and is conducted at the Harvard Medical School.
With the numerous research projects, public health awareness and governmental support in managing this disease, it can be said that the prospects of controlling it better or even eliminating it are good. We only wish we could be endowed with an excellent foresight.

'Annabelle: Creation' Surpasses 'Get Out' as Top Horror Hit of the Year
By Patrick Cavanaugh - September 4, 2017 03:21 pm EDT
The world of The Conjuring continues to be a success with this year's Annabelle: Creation, which has become the biggest box office earner in the world of horror this year, surpassing February's Get Out, as reported by Bloody Disgusting.
Thanks to a compelling concept, masterful direction, and relevant social themes, Get Out became an instant hit and frontrunner for the best horror film of the year. Sitting at 99% on review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes, Get Out has earned a worldwide gross of $252.4 million. This weekend's box office reports, however, suggest that this number has been passed by Annabelle: Creation, earning a total of $253.3 million worldwide.
There are many statistics and factors at play in these equations, as Get Out only cost $5 million to make as opposed to Annabelle's $15 million. This would put Get Out at scoring a larger profit, but compared to many other Hollywood films this year, both of these production numbers are much smaller than virtually all other releases.
Another important distinction is that Get Out earned $175 million domestically over the course of its run, while only earning $75 million internationally. Annabelle, on the other hand, has performed far better in foreign markets, as its themes were seemingly more universal to a variety of cultures. Additionally, Annabelle has been out for less than a month, so it might not be able to earn as much over a long period of time as Get Out.
This financial accomplishment of Annabelle is only its most recent, as it previously helped push the worldwide total of the films from the Conjuring universe past the $1 billion mark. Considering this is only the fourth film in that universe, after The Conjuring, The Conjuring 2, and Annabelle, with two more spinoffs, The Nun and The Crooked Man, on the way, this universe of horror films is a force to be reckoned with.

Oil Theft: '7-Year-Old' Illegal Tapping Point Uncovered In Rivers Community
Posted by Samuel on Wed 11th Jan, 2023 - tori.ng
Mbakpone Okpe, executive chairman of Tai LGA, Rivers, led the discovery team to the site on Monday.
An illegal tapping point on the Trans Niger Pipeline (TNP) has been uncovered in the Nonwa Uedume community of Tai local government area, Rivers state.
Others present at the site include security operatives of the Nigerian army, officers of the Department of State Services (DSS), Tai local security taskforce and pipeline surveillance contractors.
'7-YEAR ILLEGAL TAPPING POINT'
Speaking on the incident, Fyneface Dumnamene Fyneface, executive director, Youths and Environmental Advocacy Centre (YEAC-Nigeria), in a statement seen by TheCable, condemned the act by the illegal oil refiners.
The executive called on the federal government to provide alternative livelihood opportunities for artisanal crude oil refiners in the Niger Delta, through modular refineries and establishment of the presidential artisanal crude oil refining development initiative (PACORDI).
Fyneface said employees of Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC), operator of TNP, were performing routine maintenance work on the pipeline at the time of the discovery, as the tapping point was near their site.
He said the workers "were surprised that a tapping point on their pipeline was close to where they were but they did not know".
"After the exposure, they took over the point, working to remove the tapping of about one and half inches pipe said to have been operated for over seven years with capacity to load two tankers of 33,000 liters per night," Fyneface said.
'COLLABORATION SHOULD BE INTENSIFIED TO CLAMP DOWN ON OIL THEFT'
On his part, Okpe, speaking to journalists at the site, said the discovery of the illegal connection on the facility, cost a lot of resources.
He said the illegal connection was discovered following a tip-off, calling for a collaboration between his team and the government.
"This discovery cost me money to get the intel (information) and this access. That does not mean that Shell does not have operators that are doing surveillance for them," he said.
"The federal government also has companies doing surveillance for them. I need to partner with them. I called Shell after I discovered this on their line.
"I wish they would come so that we can jointly collaborate to clamp down on it. It is not only discovering it but also closing it so that it doesn't recur. Since then, Shell has not come. It is part of the problem I have been having with them."
'SHELL NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY'
Okpe also said some illegal oil bunkering activities are still ongoing as preliminary findings indicated that there may be more of such illegal camps in the area.
He also accused Shell of not taking responsibility despite discovering the illegal pipeline.
"As I speak with you, there are a lot of bunkering operations going on in some of the communities around here. Even when I discovered it and I called them (Shell) to come let us collaborate. It is their asset, not mine," Okpe said.
"I cannot risk my resources and my personnel in discovering this, at the end of the day the owners are not coming forward to take responsibility.
"This thing you are seeing happening here, if anybody tells you that the larger number of the population here are not aware of it, it is a lie.
"If you go beyond here to the far end, you will see another spot like this. So, how are we responding to it to ensure that people who are doing this thing will know that there are owners and the owners are protecting their property?''
At the time of filing this report, Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) did not respond to a request for comments.

SWIFT, IBM, Ripple and around 100 other firms and organizations have joined a new blockchain association to promote adoption of the technology across the EU.
A European Commission initiative, the new group – the International Association of Trusted Blockchain Applications (INATBA) – is launching Wednesday in Brussels, Belgium.
INATBA has been set up as a "global multi-stakeholder forum" aimed to bring together developers and users of blockchain technology to promote mainstream adoption across multiple sectors.
The association plans to build a framework to encourage public and private sector collaboration, dialogue with regulators and policymakers and "legal predictability," as well as ensure "integrity and transparency" in blockchain infrastructures. It will also develop guidelines and specifications for blockchain and distributed ledger-based applications.

The Brussels launch today will see several European Commission officials speaking, including Mariya Gabriel, Commissioner for the Digital Economy and Society, who will provide the keynote. There will also be panels, such as a discussion of the potential of blockchains.
A joint declaration of support from members is also being recorded on different blockchains at the event.
The European Commission has launched a number initiatives to promote the adoption of blockchain technology. Last spring, it formed the European Blockchain Partnership (EBP) along with 22 member countries to support the delivery of cross-border digital public services based around the tech. The Commission also set up the EU Blockchain Observatory and Forum, with ConsenSys as its member, last February.
