[30]Is Tech Driven by Adult?

For years people have been been suggesting that adult websites are single-handedly driving advancements in technology but what does that really mean? Aside from sexually explicit content what has the industry really contributed to the world and how has it improved your life? These are good questions and worth answering if for no other reason than cocktail conversation at your next party.

One of the earliest examples of this phenomenon was the rivalry between Beta Max and VHS. Sony introduced ‘Beta’ in 1975 beating JVC’s rival format of VHS to the market by over a year. During that crucial year Sony was able to capture a significant number of early adopters and introduce the world to the concept of watching movies at home and recording content to watch later. But they made one big mistake that caused the market to abandon their video player and move to the new technology-VHS by end of the decade. Sony refused to allow adult film makers to distribute their smut on Beta. That meant that anyone interested in watching adult content from the confort of their own home was forced to buy a VHS player, even if they already had a Beta Max. Adult video made VHS the only choice and drove the adoption of movie rentals and mail orders in a country that had been obsessed with going to the movies- even seedy adult theaters.

The technology push accelerated with the arrival of the internet. Pornographers were the first to widely distribute video over this new system. In the early years that meant a grainy postage stamp size clip that was hard to see even if you had the time to wait for it to download or buffer. Quality issues forced improved video compression technology and delivery methods long before YouTube and others joined in the online video land grab.

Another constraint faced and, ultimately, overcome by online adult content was bandwidth. With dial-up connections it took a very long time to download and watch short video clips, whether those were sports highlights or skin flicks. The proliferation of broadband internet access changed all of that and while it would be impossible to say that adult content alone drove the move to broadband, there is a direct correlation between broadband adoption and the explosive revenue growth in the online adult industry. Coincidently the offline adult industry began to loose market share at roughly the same time.

What few people realize is that adult websites helped perfect two other major online technologies; online billing including PayPal and stats and analytics programs like those sold by Visual Sciences LLC, a publicly traded company under the symbol VSCN. PayPal and other billing companies found their perfect match with online adult video. For one thing, users were willing to spend a lot of money on adult sites. Where there was some hesitation to buy books, sneakers and silverware online, there was not a moment of doubt when it came to consuming adult content online. Because there were so many transactions billing companies were able to perfect fraud tracking systems, ‘chargeback’ thresholds and rebilling programs. PayPal eventually abandoned their hugely profitable porn business when they were acquired by EBay because it conflicted with EBay’s corporate culture. Other companies like CCBill and Paycom stayed in the adult space and continue to thrive.

Stats tracking was essential in order to optimize web sites, content delivery and retention tools. Free sites were less worried about funneling users to the most profitable pages but adult sites that charged for membership made it a science. By tracking use patterns the sites have been able to present offerings likely to appeal to individual users and therefore increase conversions. Retention stats have helped with financial forecasts and valuation.

Adult continues to innovate, leading the way into mobile content, anonymous billing and alternative payment technologies like ACH (online checks), SMS billing and phone cards. Other sites like PerfectVideo.com are using revolutionary video delivery tools to give each user a fully customizable experience. Members can choose what part of a scene they want to watch and then edit those clips into cohesive adult mix tapes.

There is no telling what advancements adult will deliver next but some of today’s most popular sites owe their success to trails blazed by adult sites. It will be fascinating to see if any of those technologies can cross out of entertainment and contribute to medicine, space exploration or public safety. It does not look like there is anything like that on the horizon but it is too early to count them out. Adult has proven that they are full of surprises.

[29]Adult Shopping in the UK

The high street doesn’t offer many choices to the adult shopper. There is of course the Ann Summers chain, or the local sex shop. Both offer middle of the road products, but leave you with little choice in a real sense. So where do you go if you have a kinky itch to scratch?

Of course there are hundreds of online adult retailers selling everything from sex toys to lingerie, PVC clothing to whips and bondage gear, right down to mechanical spanking devices and sex machines. Great if you want to make a purchase and feel you would be too embarrassed to make that purchase in person. But there’s a lot to be said for being able to pick products up and to have a good look at them, to feel there quality and usability before you make your purchase.

There are a number of adult shows in the UK, the Adults Only Show, Erotica, and Skin Two, adult industry exhibitions allow you to examine the products and to ask questions, as well as pick up freebees and free samples. However, these shows are few and far between – so what’s a consumer to do in the mean time?

Well there is a little show which takes place on the third Sunday of every month in Birmingham called the Birmingham Bizarre Bazaar. The Birmingham Bizarre Bazaar brings quality fetish and adult suppliers together under one roof and they pride them selves in laying on a very varied mix of retailers, with some of them selling very usual products – hence the name the Bizarre Bazaar.

At the Bizarre Bazaar you will find sex toys, bondage equipment including harnesses, collars, spanking utensils and clothing, Lingerie, rubber, PVC and alternative clothing, leather merchandise, electrical toys, erotic jewellery, dungeon equipment, erotic furniture, exclusive bed linen and sexy footwear including thigh high boots and sexy peep toe high heels.

For the consumers the Bizarre Bazaar offers the chance of a monthly saucy shopping trip with like-minded people. Customers are able to browse the stalls and are able to ask for advice and information from stall holders, as well as to try products on, and maybe in the case of some items, give them a little test to see how the item will perform. The stall holders are a friendly bunch who do tend to have some expertise in their particular field, whether it be whips, flogging benches, or baby doll lingerie.

Each month there is a demonstration or workshop, which includes technical and practical information about different aspects of sexual practises - kinky sex tips for the sexually outrageous. The demonstrations offer food for thought as well as light entertainment.

If you are looking for some thing new and you want to broaden your sexual horizons or if you just want to pick a few new bits, why not visit the Birmingham Bizarre Bazaar.

[28]Guillain Barre Syndrome

What is GBS?
‘GBS is an acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy characterized by progressive symmetric ascending muscle weakness, paralysis, and hyporeflexia with or without sensory or autonomic symptoms’

Background:
• 1859- Landry published a report on 10 patients with ascending paralysis
• 1916- Guillain, Barre and Strohl described 2 French soldiers with motor weakness, areflexia, and “albuniocytological dissociation” in the cerebrospinal fluid. They recognized the peripheral nature of the illness

Etiology:
• Post-infectious AI disease
• Cellular and humoral mechanisms
• Association with administration of certain vaccinations, and other systemic illnesses
Auto-immunity In GBS
• Humoral immunity: antibodies formed against capsular antigens cross-react with myelin
• Target: gangliosides and glycolipids, such as GM1 and GD1b, distributed throughout the myelin in the peripheral nervous system
• Lmphocytic infiltration of spinal roots and peripheral nerves, followed by macrophage-mediated multifocal stripping of myelin
• Sub-group: primary immune attack directly against nerve axons

[26]Dexamethasone in Adults with Bacterial Meningitis

Abstract:
• Mortality and morbidity rates are high among adults with acute bacterial meningitis, especially those with pneumococcal meningitis.

Methods:
• a prospective, randomized, double-blind, multicenter trial of adjuvant treatment with dexamethasone, as compared with placebo, in adults with acute bacterial meningitis.
• Dexamethasone (10 mg) or placebo was administered 15 to 20 minutes before or with the first dose of antibiotic and was given every 6 hours for four days.
• The primary outcome measure was the score on the Glasgow Outcome Scale at eight weeks (a score of 5, indicating a favorable outcome, vs. a score of 1 to 4, indicating an unfavorable outcome).
• The mortality rate among adults with acute bacterial meningitis and the frequency of neurologic sequelae among those who survive are high, especially among patients with pneumococcal meningitis.
• Unfavorable neurologic outcomes are not the result of treatment with inappropriate antimicrobial agents, since cerebrospinal fluid cultures are sterile 24 to 48 hours after the start of antibiotic therapy
• Studies in animals have shown that bacterial lysis, induced by treatment with antibiotics, leads to inflammation in the subarachnoid space, which may contribute to an unfavorable outcome.
• These studies also show that adjuvant treatment with antiinflammatory agents, such as dexamethasone, reduces both cerebrospinal fluid inflammation and neurologic sequelae.
• Many controlled trials have been performed to determine whether adjuvant corticosteroid therapy is beneficial in children with acute bacterial meningitis.
• A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials performed since 1988 showed a beneficial effect of adjunctive dexamethasone therapy in terms of severe hearing loss in children with Haemophilus influenzae type b meningitis and suggested a protective effect in those with pneumococcal meningitis if the drug was given before or with parenteral antibiotics.
• There are few data on the use of adjunctive dexamethasone therapy in adults with bacterial meningitis.
• The paucity of data precludes a recommendation that dexamethasone be administered routinely in adults with bacterial meningitis.
• We conducted a study to determine whether adjunctive dexamethasone treatment improves the outcome in such patients.
• Patients referred to one of the participating centers were eligible for the study if they were
• 17 years of age or older
• Suspected meningitis in combination with cloudy cerebrospinal fluid, bacteria in cerebrospinal fluid on Gram's staining.
Cerebrospinal fluid leukocyte count of more than 1000 per cubic millimeter.

Patients were excluded:
• If they had a history of hypersensitivity to beta lactam antibiotics or corticosteroids.
• If they were pregnant
• If they had a cerebrospinal shunt
• Been treated with oral or parenteral antibiotics in the previous 48 hours.
• History of active tuberculosis or fungal infection.
• Had a recent history of head trauma, neurosurgery, or peptic ulcer disease
• Assessment of Outcome
• The primary outcome measure was the score on the Glasgow Outcome Scale eight weeks after randomization, as assessed by the patient's physician.
• A score of 1 indicates death.
• 2, a vegetative state (the patient is unable to interact with the environment).
• 3, severe disability (the patient is unable to live independently but can follow commands).
• 4 Moderate disability (the patient is capable of living independently but unable to return to work or school).
• 5 Mild or no disability (the patient is able to return to work or school.
• A favorable outcome was defined as a score of 5, and an unfavorable outcome as a score of 1 to 4.

Statistical Analysis:
• Calculation of the required sample size was based on the assumption that dexamethasone would reduce the proportion of patients with an unfavorable outcome from 40 to 25 percent.
• With a two-sided test, an alpha level of 0.05, and a power of 80 percent, the analysis required 150 patients per group.
• The analysis of outcomes was performed on an intention-to-treat basis with the use of a last-observation-carried-forward procedure.
• Two-tailed P values of less than 0.05 were considered to indicate statistical significance.
• Parametric and nonparametric values were tested with Student's t-test and the Mann–Whitney U test, respectively. The results are expressed as relative risks for the dexamethasone group as compared with the placebo group, with a relative risk of less than 1.0 indicating a beneficial effect.

Results:
• A total of 301 patients were randomly assigned to a study group.
• 157 to the dexamethasone group and 144 to the placebo group.
• Two patients (one in each group) did not meet the inclusion criteria because they were too young.
• Seven patients in the dexamethasone group and nine in the placebo group each met one exclusion criterion, one patient in the dexamethasone group met two exclusion criteria
• Four patients were withdrawn because they did not meet the inclusion criteria (three in the dexamethasone group and one in the placebo group), and five because of adverse events (four in the dexamethasone group and one in the placebo group).
• Eight weeks after admission, neurologic examinations were performed in 262 of 269 patients (97 percent). Seven patients were lost to follow-up, three in the dexamethasone group and four in the placebo group.
• At discharge, six of these seven patients had a score of 5 on the Glasgow Outcome Scale, and one had a score of 4. These last-observation scores were carried forward to eight weeks, so that all 301 patients were included in the analyses of the primary outcome and mortality

Efficacy:
• Eight weeks after enrollment, the percentage of patients with an unfavorable outcome was significantly smaller in the dexamethasone group than in the placebo group (15 percent vs. 25 percent).
• The proportion of patients who died was significantly smaller in the dexamethasone group than in the placebo group (7 percent vs. 15 percent).
• Among the patients with pneumococcal meningitis, 14 percent of those who received dexamethasone and 34 percent of those who received placebo died.

Adverse Events:
• Adverse events resulted in the early withdrawal of four patients in the dexamethasone group and one in the placebo group.
• In the dexamethasone group, two patients were withdrawn because of severe hyperglycemia, one because of suspected stomach perforation (which was not the case), and one because of agitation and flushing.
• One patient in the placebo group was withdrawn because of suspected cerebral abscess.
• In one patient in the dexamethasone group, gastrointestinal bleeding was complicated by stomach perforation, which required surgery.

Clinical Course:
• Impairment of consciousness was significantly less likely to develop in the patients who received dexamethasone than in those who received placebo (18 of 157 patients [11 percent] vs. 36 of 144 [25 percent].
• The patients in the dexamethasone group were also significantly less likely to have seizures (8 [5 percent] vs. 17 [12 percent].

Discussion:
• The results of our controlled prospective trial show that early treatment with dexamethasone improves the outcome in adults with acute bacterial meningitis.
• Adjunctive treatment with dexamethasone reduced the risks of both an unfavorable outcome and death.
• However, neurological sequelae were seen predominantly in the most severely ill patients, and the proportion of severely ill patients who survived to be tested was larger in the dexamethasone group than in the placebo group.
• Two important issues are the duration and timing of dexamethasone therapy.
• Data suggest that two-day and four-day regimens are equally effective, the four-day regimen has been used in most clinical trials involving children with bacterial meningitis.
• In this study, we used the four-day regimen and also started it early. Therefore, a four-day regimen is recommended, with dexamethasone therapy started before or with the first dose of antibiotics.
• Cognitive impairment occurs frequently in adults who survive bacterial meningitis
• Dexamethasone (10 mg every six hours for four days) should be given to all such adults, and the regimen should be initiated before or with the first dose of antibiotics. This treatment does not increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.

[23]A Startling Fact About Online Adult Education

Though many matured people are interested in adult education, the main problem for them is that they hardly have the time to attend the classes. The reason is because they are often busy in their offices. If they enroll for any of the program, it is certain that there will not be time to attend to the assignments given and consequently the entire programme won't be completed on time. But the story changes when the classes are done through the world wide web.The online adult education is the online version of the physical version of adult education. In the conventional adult education, the classes must be attended in person but in the online version, you don't have to. However, many people still think that the physical version is still better than the online version. The appropriate question to ask therefore is whether there is enough time for you to attend the classes in person.

There are many colleges and universities out there these days offering adult education online. The only requirement is that you should be matured, working and be able to read and write. The requirements are not as strict as those required when you want to get a bachelor or master degree.However, I must inform you that not every institutions you come across online is offering genuine online adult education. In addition, I will advise you to stay away from all the mails in email box talking about online adult education.My investigation revealed that reputable and genuine online institutions don’t send unsolicited mails. please get rid of them quickly form your Inbox.I do so regularly because I know they are fraudulent.They only send it if you request for further information from their website. By searching the world wide web using the search engine, you will be shown lots of reputable online institutions. Be patient and go through the websites returned by the search engine. You primary goal is to know whether the institutions are accredited or not.If it’s not accredited, don’t attend.

In addition, I will urge you to flee from any online institution offering free online adult education certificates. These type of institutions are not there to help you. You can never get any thing good from earning free certificate. Most employers of labor know one or two things about these fake institutions. They know who is having the genuine certificate. So, it is advisable to run away from free certificates.
