  • Lyricist Gandhiji – Revisited
    Lyricist Gandhiji – Revisited September 20, 2012. ‘Ganesh’ festival holiday. So, set out for a short trip cum outing to Ahmadabad, (Gujrat, India) with my wife. As this was the first visit, tour to ‘Akshardham’ temple and ‘Sabarmati ashram’ were on top priorities. Akshardham temple was a very nice place but It was quite hot outside the temple as we set out towards Sabarmati. Car driver too was quite restless due to this unusual heat. However, as we approached the town, suddenly the atmosphere changed with black clouds in the sky and a real transfer scene. It was getting ready to pour anytime. Just before this visit, I had read a nice book ‘Meera and Mahatma’ by Sudheer Kakkar. It had many pages describing this sacred place. This was an ideal laboratory for preparing volunteers for freedom struggle and ‘Satyagraha’. Gandhiji had spent several years here with his novel experiments in many fields. His disciple and close associate Meeraben also spent many years of her youth. She was a British lady but had faith in Gandhiji’s philosophy and joined his work at Sabarmati. This book describes lives of Meera and Mahatma, a young revolutionary Prithvising occupying her life for a while, Gandhiji’s advice to her in such a situation and so on. So, I had lots of vague images of that period and people in my mind. Akshardham temple is located far away from town and the ashram is now quite inside the city. The temple has lot of strict security due to a terrorist attack few years ago.

  • FOREIGNER Can't Slow Down (Rock FM / AOR / Westcoast)
    FOREIGNER Can't slow down (Rock FM / AOR / Westcoast) Année de sortie : 2009 Nombre de pistes : 13 Durée : 49' Support : MP3 Provenance : Acheté Je vais débuter cette chronique du retour aussi inespéré qu'inattendu d'une légende du Hard-Rock / Rock-FM par quelques chiffres : 1/ Premier album 1977 (Foreigner) Ce Can't Slow Down déboule donc 32 ans plus tard (jolie carrière tout de même !) et est le neuvième studio du groupe ! 2/ FOREIGNER a vendu plus de 65 millions de cds au monde. (Et c'est pas fini !) Après ses 3 remarquables et remarqués premiers albums (1977 Foreigner, 1978 Double Vison, 1979 Head Games), c'est en 1981 que le groupe explose les compteurs avec 4 (avec le géant John Mutt LANGE aux "manettes"). Agent Provocateur, 1984 laissera une place conséquente aux claviers et placera encore quelques hymnes (I Wanna Know What Love Is, That Was Yesterday) dans les charts mondiaux. La suite, c'est Inside Information en 1987, un bon album avec son single "Say You Will", puis le départ de son chanteur Lou GRAMM... Et avant son retour pour un agréable et calme Mr Moonlight en 1995, FOREIGNER offre un Unusual Heat inégal dont je retiens la ballade I'll Fight For You, avec un nouveau et excellent chanteur (Johnny EDWARDS). Vous noterez donc qu'il aura fallu attendre 14 ans pour que FOREIGNER livre un nouvel opus. Attente récompensé s'il en est ! FOREIGNER revient donc en 2009 avec une formule à 6 musiciens, comme à ses débuts. Mais des débuts justement, il ne reste que Mick JONES, notre anglais dont le duo avec Lou GRAMM, notre américain fit des miracles d'écritures par le passé ! En revanche, bonne pioche pour le choix du nouveau chanteur absolument prodigieux et nommé Kelly HANSEN.

Benewens hierdie oorkoepelende perspektief op navorsing word jaarliks ook ander perspektiewe op navorsing in fakulteitspublikasies aangebied. Statistieke omtrent navorsingsuitsette word in ander publikasies van die Universiteit se Afdeling Navorsingsontwikkeling aangegee. Die Universiteit se navorsingspoging is, soos in die verlede, gesteun deur 'n verskeidenheid van persone en organisasies binne sowel as buite die Universiteit. Die US spreek sy besondere dank uit teenoor die statutêre navorsingsrade en kommissies, staatsdepartemente, sakeondernemings, stigtings en private indiwidue vir volgehoue ondersteuning in dié verband. Wat die befondsing van navorsing betref, word navorsers aan Suid-Afrikaanse universiteite - soos elders in die wêreld - toenemend afhanklik van nuwe bronne vir die finansiering van navorsing.

One is always doing the same things over and over; I now promised myself that I would go in search of new people and new scenes, until I was again ready to turn with delight to my familiar occupations. So I mounted my horse one morning, without any definite plan of my journey, and rode eastward, with a business−like haversack strapped behind the saddle.

  • It Was Seen Increase in Scorpion Stings, in Kurak and Yarı Kurak Regions
    Received: December 7, 2004 J. Venom. Anim. Toxins incl. Trop. Dis. Accepted: May 30, 2005 V.11, n.4, p.479-491, 2005. Published online: October 30, 2005 Original paper - ISSN 1678-9199. Mesobuthus eupeus SCORPIONISM IN SANLIURFA REGION OF TURKEY OZKAN O. (1), KAT I. (2) (1) Refik Saydam Hygiene Center, Poison Research Center, Turkey; (2) Department of Infectious Diseases, Health Center of Sanliurfa, Turkey. ABSTRACT: The epidemiology and clinical findings of scorpion stings in Sanliurfa region of Turkey, from May to September 2003, were evaluated in this study. Mesobuthus eupeus (M. eupeus) plays a role on 25.8% of the scorpionism cases. This study also showed that intoxications caused by M. eupeus in the southeast of Anatolia region were seen in hot months of the summer, especially on July. Females and people above 15 years old were mostly affected and stung on extremities. Intense pain in the affected area was observed in 98.7% cases, hyperemia in 88.8%, swelling in 54.6%, burning in 19.7%, while numbness and itching were seen less frequently. In our study, the six most frequently observed symptoms were local pain, hyperemia, swelling, burning, dry mouth, thirst, sweating, and hypotension. In this study involving 152 M. eupeus toxicity cases, patients showed local and systemic clinical effects but no death was seen. Autonomic system and local effects characterized by severe pain, hyperemia and edema were dominantly seen in toxicity cases. KEY WORDS: Mesobuthus eupeus, Turkey, scorpionism, epidemiology, clinical symptoms. CORRESPONDENCE TO: OZCAN OZKAN, Veterinary Medicine Laboratory, Refik Saydam Hygiene Center, Poison Research Center, 06100 Ankara, Turkey.

  • Scorpion Stings and Venoms
    Scorpion stings and venoms The term scorpionism is the medical term used to describe the syndrome of scorpion stings. We focus here on the thick-tailed scorpions in the family Buthidae, which are the most dangerous scorpions in South Africa (See Dangerous scorpions: how to identify them). Find out here about how to prevent being stung, the signs and symptoms of scorpionism, and scorpionism management. Introduction In South Africa we are fortunate to have a fascinating and diverse scorpion fauna and yet a low incidence of scorpionism, unlike areas in the south-western U.S.A., Mexico, east-central South America, north Africa, the Middle East and India where the incidence of serious scorpion envenomation is high. Worldwide, there are about 100,000 cases of scorpion envenomation resulting in approximately 800 deaths per year. Locally more than 95% of cases of scorpionism results in no more than local pain lasting from several minutes to about 4 hours with most of the Ischnurid stings resulting in no more than a pin prick. In South Africa there are only 1 to 4 deaths a year resulting from Parabuthus envenomation (nothing in comparison to car, crime, sport or health related deaths). Parabuthus capensis. [image N. Larsen ©] Parabuthus transvaalicus. [image L. Prendini ©] A case study of 42 serious scorpion envenomations, occurring in western Cape over 5 summers (1986/7 to 1991/2), recorded 4 fatalities of children. Parabuthus granulatus was found to be the main culprit, responsible for 3 deaths. Parabuthus capensis was the alleged culprit of the fourth death but as the specimen was lost it cannot be verified.
