Sound sleep during pregnancy

Getting plenty of sleep is important during pregnancy, but those inevitable physical changes while you are pregnant can make sleep uncomfortable. Following suggestions may help pregnant women get a better night's sleep.

* Once you reach the third trimester, sleep on your left side. Avoid lying flat on your back for long periods.

* Drink lots of fluids during the day, but limit fluids before bedtime.

* Snack during the day on bland foods, and avoid any foods that trigger heartburn.

* Use extra regular pillows, especially if you have heartburn.

* Take naps during the day, and practice relaxation techniques for better sleep.

* Talk to your doctor if you have insomnia.

Getting on the road to Pneumonia prevention

Pneumonia takes more of our children’s lives than any other disease. Each year, it is responsible for the deaths of nearly 26,000 Bangladeshi children under age five.

We have many of the tools to prevent children form deaths. Routine vaccination, exclusive breastfeeding in the first six months of life, adequate nutrition, regular hand-washing and a home environment free of cook stove smoke can all help prevent and protect our children from pneumonia. If they do become ill, early diagnosis and treatment with antibiotics can mean the difference between life and death. On these fronts, as a nation, we have much work to do.

Recent data indicates only 43 percent of Bangladeshi children are exclusively breastfed for their first six months, which fortifies their immune systems against infectious threats. Only 37 percent are taken to a health care facility when they have a suspected case of Pneumonia and only 22 percent receive antibiotic treatment when they are sick. This is simply unacceptable.

Also unacceptable is the fact that safe and effective vaccines to combat pneumococcal disease, the most prevalent cause of Pneumonia, exist — and they are beginning to be introduced by countries with challenges similar to our own — but our children are not yet close to receiving this lifesaving intervention.

Expand social business with the help of IT

Nobel laureate Prof Muhammad Yunus yesterday said information and technology should be used to expand social business.

He made the observation in a public speech at the third Global Social Business Summit in Vienna, Austria.

In his speech, Prof Yunus also emphasised on social business and urged different companies to come forward in this respect.

“Nowadays everybody holds the Genie of Aladin in hand. In the story, Genie emerges with the touch of hand… Genie is the cell phone having internet connection,” said Dr Yunus.

Citing example, he mentioned that cell phone enables a pregnant woman to know about the condition of her unborn child only by answering some questions through it.

“Cell phone should not be considered only as a medium of income but an opportunity to solve many problems,” said Prof Yunus.

Nasa astronaut Ronald John Garan, who returned to earth on last April after a six-month stay in the space, also expressed his support for social business during his speech.

“I extend my thanks to you [Yunus] for what you have done for the people of this fragile world. This book has travelled with me in the space mission. It rotated around the axis of the earth 2,624 times. The book has travelled 6,53,37,600 miles at a pace of 17,500 miles per hour,” Ronald wrote in the book before presenting it to its writer Prof Yunus.

The activities on the second day of the conference were followed by the presentation of success stories and projects of different companies involved in social business.

The companies are Intel, Violia, Mammu, Village Boom, BASF, Good B and Grameen Creative Club.

The presentation was followed by a video message sent by Hollywood star Hugh Jackman wishing the conference a success.

Prof Yunus also explained how Jackman became a Yunus-follower after reading his book 'Banker to the poor'.

UNTID Chief Philip Dousey Beji spoke on the occasion, focusing on poverty alleviation and Millennium Development Goal.

Two panel discussions--'Social Business and Globalization' and 'Civil Society and Political Structure for Social Business'--were included in the second day schedule of the summit.

DCRP Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX1 Preview

This is a preview of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX1 interchangeable lens camera. The camera described here is pre-production, and features and performance are subject to change. In addition, Panasonic has asked that photos and videos from this camera not be posted. When a production model is available, a final review with all the usual test shots and a conclusion will be included.

Back when the Lumix DMC-GF3 came out, I bemoaned the fact that Panasonic was moving further and further away from the GF1 that I personally own (and enjoy using). While the GF1 (and the GF2 that followed it) were flat-bodied, rangefinder-style cameras, the GF3 was a compact model aimed more toward the point-and-shoot crowd. Many of us GF1 lovers have been waiting for a true successor to that camera, and it's finally arrived in the form of the Lumix DMC-GX1 (priced from $699).

The GX1 takes the guts from the SLR-style DMC-G3 and stuffs them into a body closely resembling the original GF1. The chart below compares the GX1 to all three GF series models. You may need to widen your screen so it all fits!

How Ryan Raddon Became the $200,000-a-Night DJ Known as Kaskade

“KASKADE is actually God,” said Ivy Daniels, 23, waiting in line at the Roseland Ballroom near Times Square at around 9 p.m. It was a few nights before Halloween, and her rave-girl costume — black tutu, kandi bracelets — was ambiguously self-referential. Was she going to a rave?

Russians Fight to Save Mars Probe After Mishap

Russian space engineers scrambled Wednesday to salvage an ambitious science mission to Mars after the unmanned spacecraft became stranded in Earth orbit. If they are not successful, the probe, which is loaded with toxic fuel, could re-enter the atmosphere within days or weeks.The spacecraft, a high-stakes effort to bring back soil samples from the Martian moon Phobos — and to return Russia to prominence in planetary exploration after a long dry spell — was launched from Kazakhstan atop a Zenit rocket early Wednesday. Russian officials said that the launching was normal. But then, once the spacecraft was in orbit, two planned firings of its propulsion system, intended to send it on the nearly yearlong journey to Mars, did not occur.“The engines did not fire, not the first or the second time,” said Vladimir Popovkin, director of the Russian space agency Roscosmos.

An unnamed person in Russia’s space industry told the Interfax news agency that there had been warnings before the launching that glitches in the probe’s command and control system had not been fully resolved. “The risk of failure because of its abnormal operation was very high. Unfortunately, the worst forecasts have come true,” the person said.
