Prepare for Avian Influenza!
Various U.S. and U.N. agencies and the Council on Foreign Relations
are spreading the word that the Avian Influenza, if it breaks out this fall or
winter, could be as severe as the worldwide Spanish Influenza epidemic
of 1918, and they are predicting hundreds of millions of deaths worldwide.
This influenza, currently isolated in China, is a hemorrhagic illness.
It kills half of its victims by rapidly depleting ascorbate (vitamin C)
stores in the body, inducing scurvy and collapse of the arterial
blood supply, causing internal hemorrhaging of the lungs
and sinus cavities.
Most people today have barely enough vitamin C in their bodies
(typically 60 mg per day) to prevent scurvy under normal living conditions,
and are not prepared for this kind of illness. (Vitamin C deficiency
is the root cause of many infant and childhood deaths worldwide,
and it is the root cause of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome - SIDS.)
The way to prepare yourself and protect your family from this influenza
is not a vaccine or anti-viral drug. If vaccines and/or anti-viral drugs are
offered to you, please refuse them. These actually reduce your immunity;
vaccines contain many toxic components, such as aluminum and
mercury, and anti-viral drugs interfere with critical body processes.
Historical evidence of vaccinations has shown that they actually
increase the chances of becoming severely ill. The best way to
prepare for influenza is by enhancing your immune system
and increasing the amount of vitamin C in your body.
The supplements I suggest below can be obtained at good quality
supplement stores such as Vitamin Shoppe or online at supplement
discounters although the powdered varieties are
generally only available online. Buy good quality supplements
such as those made by NOW Foods, Source Naturals, Jarrow,
Nature's Way, Vitamin Shoppe (store brand), etc. (These are not
endorsements, but suggestions based on my personal experience).
Do not use drug store supplements.
1. Begin increasing the amount of vitamin C that you take each day
to very high levels, spread over the course of the day, in divided doses
taken with meals. Start at 1000 mg per meal, and increase slowly to
2000-4000 mg per meal. (These are adult doses, modify by body weight
for children.) Your optimal dose is just below the point where your body
complains by giving you mild diarrhea.
This is called the "bowel tolerance dose."
Such doses are perfectly safe - vitamin C is natural to our bodies
and needed for many body processes. Most people don't get nearly
enough. Stock up on this vital nutrient - buy in powder form,
1-pound or 3-pound canisters (ascorbic acid form).
Mix with water or fruit juice. Be sure to take vitamin C with food
that will coat your stomach to prevent stomach upset,
such as organic soymilk.
2. Take 6000 mg of the amino acid lysine per day, 2000 mg per meal
(adult dose, modify by body weight for children).
Lysine is a natural protease inhibitor -
it prevents bacteria and viruses from spreading in your body.
You can obtain it in tablet, capsule, or powder form.
The latter form is the least expensive;
buy several pound containers of it.
3. Take a high-potency multivitamin/ multimineral tab, and a
calcium/magnesium supplement, every day.
4. Drink at least 2 quarts (8 cups, 2 liters) of non-caffeinated liquids
per day. Spring water and/or decaffeinated green tea made with
spring water are best. Do not drink diet soda or consume anything
with aspartame or other artificial sweeteners.
5. Stock up on other anti-viral agents and nutrients: l-proline and
l-glycine (amino acids - at least one pound of each, in powder form),
turmeric extract capsules, ginger capsules, garlic capsules,
15-mg zinc/1-mg copper capsules or tabs, oil of oregano
(Gaia Herbs brand is a good one), decaffeinated green tea extract,
N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC), and non-gmo or organic soy protein drink
concentrate.
(Note to expectant mothers: Do not use oregano oil or green tea extract.)
6. In advance (right now), find a chelation or alternative health clinic
that is willing to administer intravenous vitamin C infusions.
This may be necessary if you are stricken by the Avian Flu and
find that you cannot keep up with it with the oral dosage.
(Refer to Dr. Robert Cathcart's intravenous vitamin C preparation
document if the clinic needs this information:
http://www.orthomed .com/civprep. htm )
7. If you do become ill, start increasing your vitamin C dosage
dramatically - your bowel tolerance dose will rise as it is used to
detoxify your body from the virus toxins; it may rise to as much as
100,000-200, 000 mg (100 to 200 grams) per day (adult dose).
Take up to 4000 mg per dose, with increased number of dosages.
Start taking 12,000 mg of each of l-lysine, l-proline and l-glycine per day,
in divided doses. Take 1000 mg oregano, 4000 mg turmeric extract,
4000 mg ginger, 4000 mg garlic, 45 mg zinc/3 mg copper,
1500 mg N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), and 2000 mg green tea per day,
in divided doses.
Increase fluid intake to 3-4 quarts (liters) per day. (These are the
adult doses, modify by weight for children.) Eat easily-digestable meals
complemented with 1/2-scoop soy protein shakes.
Continue this regimen until all signs of illness have subsided.
If the illness is not controlled by the regimen, obtain a series
(2-3 per week) of 30-gram Vitamin C intravenous infusions at a
chelation or alternative health clinic, with higher dosages if necessary
for pneumonia or previously compromised immunity
(e.g., AIDS or CFIDS). (Important: See note above regarding use
of this regimen during pregnancy; do not use oregano oil or green tea
extract during pregnancy.)
8. If you are currently taking Lipitor or another cholesterol- lowering (statin)
drug, stop taking it immediately. These drugs are very damaging to the
immune system. The above vitamin C and lysine regimen will (through a
completely different mechanism) naturally balance your cholesterol and
protect you from heart disease. If you continue to take a maintenance
dose of 6000 mg of vitamin C and 6000 mg of lysine per day,
you will never need to take statin drugs ever again.
(For more information on this, click here for an article about statin side
effects, and an excellent article at Dr. Mercola's website
http://www.mercola. com/article/ statins.htm )
9. You must take the regimen above every day, consistently.
After the danger period has passed, I recommend that you continue
the regimen at the level of 6000 mg vitamin C and 6000 mg lysine
per day (adult dose, modify by weight for children).
You will enjoy better health, lose fewer days to illness, and protect
yourself against heart disease. (If you choose not to continue the regimen,
please taper off gradually.) Use your stocks of anti-viral nutrients
for any illness you may encounter.

Drawbacks of Procedural Programming:
Drawbacks of Procedural Programming:
• It is often the case that methods have dependencies between each other therefore when updating a function it might be required to update other dependencies as well. However if the dependencies are distributed in various modules then it will be a lengthy task to track and update the dependents accordingly. In order to avoid such situations the phenomenon of cohesion was adapted which suggested the grouping of only related functions into a module.
• Another problem in the procedural paradigm was that emphasis was only laid on the actions or functions, however the actual purpose for which computer programs are made is the storage and management of data, which was given 2nd class status in procedural programming.
• In addition to this there was another problem related to data that was irritating the developer community. Actually in functional programming every function had complete access to data; this resulted in chances that a function having poor logic will modify the important data in an unexpected way thus negatively affecting other functions as well.
• Another problem related to data was that if all functions had access to data and the storage pattern of data was changed then all the functions should be modified accordingly.

what is C# Language:
C# Language:
C# is an elegant and type-safe object-oriented language that enables developers to build a wide range of secure and robust applications that run on the .NET framework. You can use C# to create miscellaneous type of applications including those that run on desktop, that are hosted by a web-server etc. C# is considered to be a highly expressive language, simple and easy to learn language. The syntax has been made similar to that of java and c++ thus programmers of these languages can learn C# within no time. However the syntax of C# simplifies many of the complexities that were there in C++. This simplification was done by java as well, however C# introduces a number of powerful features that are not available in java.

How CLR Works IN Microsoft .NET
How CLR Works
The result of compiling a C# program is not an executable but it is MSIL
When you compile a C# program output containing MSIL is generated rather than native executable code. It is the job of the CLR to translate the intermediate code into executable code when a program is run. Thus, any program compiled to MSIL can be run in any environment for which the CLR is implemented. This is one of the factors that contribute towards the portability of .NET applications. It is also important to know that CLR converts Microsoft Intermediate Language into executable code by using a JIT compiler. This conversion, as the name of the compiler suggests, is on demand basis as each part of your program is needed.
Managed Code & Unmanaged Code:
Code that is executed by CLR is sometimes referred to as managed code, in contrast to unmanaged code which is the one that is compiled into native machine language rather than MSIL and targets the system directly rather than communicating with CLR.
INTRODUCTION ABOUT Microsoft .NET,common language runtime (CLR):,MSIL (Microsoft Intermediate Language): ,Metadata:
Microsoft .NET is actually a set of Microsoft software technologies for connecting information, people, systems, and devices. It enables a high level of software integration through the use of Web services that are small, discrete, building-block applications that connect to each other as well as to other, larger applications over the Internet.
.NET Framework 2.0 is a part of Microsoft .NET. To understand what is .NET Framework 2.0 lets first see that what is meant by the term framework.
Framework:
It is a set of assumptions, concepts, values, and practices that constitutes a way of viewing reality. An example of framework is “The Primary Framework for literacy and mathematics” developed by the “Department of Children, Schools and Families, UK”. This framework has been designed to support teachers and schools to deliver high quality learning and teaching for all children. It contains detailed guidance and materials including concepts, values and practices to support literacy and mathematics in primary schools and settings.
Software Frameworks: support the development of software by providing collection of items which are reusable as a group. They have carefully designed plug–points into which the user inserts code to customize or extend the framework.
The .NET framework thus is a set of concepts, values, practices and items that can be used to develop next generation of applications. The .NET framework has plug-In points defined that allow users to write code inorder to develop customized applications. The .NET framework has two main components,
The common language runtime (CLR): The CLR can be considered as an agent that manages code at execution time, providing core services such as memory management, thread management, and remoting, while also enforcing strict type safety and other forms of code accuracy that promote security and robustness.
The .NET framework class library: The class library is a comprehensive object oriented collection of reusable types/classes that can be used to develop a range of applications.
If we look into what enables the CLR to manage the code execution, we will come to the conclusion that a major role in performing this activity is played by metadata and MSIL (Microsoft Intermediate Language).
MSIL (Microsoft Intermediate Language):
When compiling to managed code, the compiler rather than producing an executable version of your code, translates your source into a psuedocode known as Microsoft Intermediate language (MSIL). MSIL is a CPU-independent set of instructions that can be efficiently converted to native code. MSIL defines a set of portable instructions that are independent of any specific CPU. In short, MSIL defines a portable assembly language
Metadata:
Compilers that target the runtime’s facilities must emit metadata in the compiled code that describes the types, members and references in the code. The runtime uses metadata to locate and load classes, layout instances in memory, resolve method invocations, generate native code, enforce security and set run-time context boundaries.

THE HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF MULTIMEDIA::A STORY OF INVENTION, INGENUITY AND VISION.
Today multimedia might be defined as the seamless digital integration of text, graphics, animation, audio, still images and motion video in a way that provides individual users with high levels of control and interaction. The evolution of Multimedia is a story of the emergence and convergence of these technologies.
As these technologies developed along separate paths for disparate purposes, visionaries saw the possibilities for the sum of the parts as well potential personal application in the broader societal context This chapter highlights visionaries and technological developments from the development of the printing press to the emergence of the WWW .
"The historian, with a vast chronological account of a people, parallels it with a skip trail which stops only at the salient items, and can follow at any time contemporary trails which lead him all over civilisation at a particular epoch. There is a new profession of trailblazers, those who find delight in the task of establishing useful trails through the enormous mass of the common record. The inheritance from the master becomes, not only his additions to the world's record, but for his disciples the entire scaffolding by which they were erected." Vannevar Bush (1945).
This chapter is constructed around five themes developed over a time line. Presented within an interactive timeline framework, the reader has the option to pursue elaboration with a click of the mouse.
Visionaries: From the ingenious idea of the programmable computer, trace the innovations of the outstanding thinkers that had a direct impact on the explosion of the technological age.
Text, Processing and Software: Inventions and innovations that spawned the development of software enabling computers to move from mathematical processing to technology that creates and delivers multi media.
Computers: From the printing press through the exclusive military and academic and corporate worlds trace computer development into the ubiquitous role of the desktop personal computer of today.
Audio & Communication: From the telegraph signal to cellular telephones, follow the development from signal transmission to digital transmission of voice
Video &Animation: From manually manipulated negative film and hand drawn sketches, video and animation develops to sophisticated digital creation and rendering of motion
