This was the worst photo shoot i've ever done, i normally look forward to seeing my prop's this time i was dreading it, while i was looking through the camera i was fine sort of like i was not there but before(in my fridge) and after it was horrible(i'm a veggie which does not help) but i have too say £1.50 for a pig's head what a bargain, if any of you meat eater's out there are skint it did have a lot of meat on it.

A highly magnified view of the AH1N1 virus (apparently).
Why, and how come, did they ever come to name this "swine flu"?

For instance, from Huffington Post, Nov. 5, 2009:
EXCERPT: While thousands of at-risk Americans wait, some big Wall Street banks have already secured the hard-to-find H1N1 vaccine for their employees.
Building on a story that BusinessWeek broke, NBC reports that employees at the New York Stock Exchange, bankers at Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, and employees at the Federal Reserve have all received swine flu vaccine doses to administer to their employees.
In particular, NBC reports that Goldman Sachs has received 200 doses of the vaccine -- the same amount as Lenox Hill Hospital in New York.

Blame for this lies squarely upon Bait & Switch Obama & the vicious corporatism which he is using all of his power to advance (witness the golden pigs he put atop the nation immediately under himself, such as Larry Summers & Tim Geithner).

Chi ha avvelenato
il maiale perfetto
di CARLO PETRINI
FORSE è tempo di aggiornare i detti popolari: del maiale oggi si butta via troppo. Anche quel monumento alla saggia parsimonia, quella macchina perfetta da utilizzare meticolosamente in tutte le sue parti ("Se il maiale volasse non ci sarebbe uccel che lo passasse") non è sfuggita alle leggi sprecone del consumismo. Allevamenti e macelli come catene di montaggio si sono concentrati principalmente su alcuni tagli e anche i gusti della gente li hanno seguiti: oggi il porco industriale è due prosciutti, qualche salame e salsiccia, qualche bistecca, del grasso per ricette da fabbrica.
Un amico, un ottimo macellaio e produttore di salumi, mi ha confessato di macellare 80 maiali a settimana e di avere problemi di smaltimento degli scarti. Non sa come venderli alla gente: eppure dalle mie parti una volta si impazziva per i batsoà, i piedini di porco, il cui nome deriva dal francese bas de soie, "calze di seta", e che lessati in vino, aceto e acqua per tre ore, lasciati riposare per un giorno, poi impanati e fritti, si trasformano in una leccornia. Oppure gli uriùn, le orecchie: stessa poesia gastronomica. È sufficiente prender un qualsiasi ricettario regionale italiano per capire qual è stata l'importanza del maiale per la civiltà contadina: ricette con il sangue, il fegato, i polmoni, il muso, il rognone, la milza, le budella, il cuore, il cervello, la pelle, il grasso. La sapienzialità popolare non ha tralasciato nulla, inventandosi centinaia di modi diversi per godere molto e con poco.
A partire dal Medioevo, quando si è intensificato il consumo di carne, il maiale si può dire sia sempre stato il principe dell'economia contadina, l'animale da carne per eccellenza. Una figura di primo piano assoluta, come il porcaro che lo conduceva. Massimo Montanari, medievalista e storico dell'alimentazione, ci ricorda che il magister porcarius era il servo per cui si pagava il prezzo più alto. Il maiale era addirittura l'unità di misura dei boschi, che venivano valutati in base al numero di capi che vi si potevano allevare. Porci nei boschi, liberi di razzolare: certo se ne trovano ancora da qualche parte, ma il grosso della popolazione suina mondiale se la passa nettamente peggio, in stalle che a volte sono più simili a ospedali per animali.
Tuttavia la nostra cultura, e una bella fetta di economia, continua a ruotarvi intorno. Prosciutti, culatelli, salami, zamponi, coppa e pancetta restano il fiore all'occhiello del comparto agro-alimentare nazionale, anche se alla varietà di produzioni non corrisponde più la stessa incredibile biodiversità di razze che popolava i nostri territori. La "maialata" invernale, la festa per l'uccisione del maiale, momento culmine nella stagione fredda per ogni società contadina, trasformata in sagra paesana o evento gastronomico, resiste ancora in molti luoghi che sono stati segnati in maniera indelebile dalla cultura rurale, e dunque dalla cultura del maiale. Il maiale era tutto: miglior riserva di cibo, ricchezza.
Si corre il rischio di sembrare nostalgici a celebrare così il porco e i fasti della sua centralità nelle campagne fino a non più tardi di qualche decennio fa; lo stesso a compiangere il destino un po' meno glorioso che gli ha riservato il progresso in fatto di tecnologie alimentari. Ma perché non apprezzare il fatto che il maiale era un bel simbolo dell'equilibrio, pur difficile ed estenuante, ma prodigioso, tra uomo e natura? Rappresentava un successo dell'ingegno umano applicato in maniera sostenibile al mondo naturale, che ben incarnava concetti molto attuali come riciclo, riuso, sobrietà, sintonia con le stagioni, approccio sistemico.
Tanto che, a ben pensarci, il maiale era proprio un bell'esempio di design. Oggi che il design ragiona fortemente su questi temi invece non lo è più: produce scarti a iosa, inquinamenti da liquami difficili da smaltire, gli animali devono prendere degli antibiotici per poter sopravvivere alle condizioni di allevamento industriale. E si sa: il benessere animale è l'anticamera di quello dell'uomo.
Sarebbe utopia pensare di tornare indietro, quando il maiale per le società rurali era tutto. Anche se nulla vieta di rifare allevamenti allo stato brado, dare agli animali alimenti di maggiore qualità, farli crescere più lentamente, rispettarli di più e utilizzarli meglio una volta macellati, i tempi sono cambiati troppo. E sono tempi molto difficili, però ciò non toglie che per un comparto che era già in crisi prima della sfortunata pubblicità che di questi tempi gli tocca subire una seria riflessione su questi temi non guasterebbe. I sani principi si possono adattare a qualsiasi forma produttiva: la saggezza contadina con il maiale ha realizzato dei veri capolavori di cultura materiale, perché non continuare nel solco di questa tradizione?

Influenza A virus subtype H1N1, also known as A(H1N1), is a subtype of influenza virus A and the most common cause of influenza (flu) in humans. Some strains of H1N1 are endemic in humans, including the strain(s) responsible for the 1918 flu pandemic which killed 50–100 million people worldwide. Less virulent H1N1 strains still exist in the wild today, worldwide, causing a small fraction of all influenza-like illness and a large fraction of all seasonal influenza. H1N1 strains caused roughly half of all flu infections in 2006. Other strains of H1N1 are endemic in pigs and in birds.
In March and April 2009, hundreds of laboratory-confirmed infections and a number of deaths were caused by an outbreak of a new strain of H1N1.

H1N1 Swine Flu: Barack Obama and the First Deadly Mistake
By Lifegen.de
The H1N1 swine flu hits the US, and for the first time President Barack Obama seems to make a deadly mistake: A disease spread simulation has emphasized that flu interventions must be imposed quickly, if they are to be effective. Researchers writing in the open access journal BMC Public Health have shown that staying at home, closing schools and isolating infected people within the home should reduce infection, but only if they are used in combination, activated without delay and maintained for a relatively long period. The President should have acted by enforcing social separation - but economic items seem to be more important.
What all the President's men should have known: Professor George Milne and his colleagues from the University of Western Australia (UWA) simulated the effect of social distancing on the spread of a flu virus within a small town. Their research used a detailed, individual-based model of a real community with a population of approximately 30,000 (Albany, Australia) using simulation software engineered by UWA’s Dr Joel Kelso. Milne said, “Our results suggest a critical role of combined social distancing measures in the potential control of a future pandemic. Non-pharmaceutical social distancing interventions are capable of preventing less-infectious influenza epidemics and of significantly reducing the rate of development and overall burden of the worst epidemics”.
The research investigated the effects, alone and in combination, of workplace non-attendance, school closure, isolating infected family members inside the home and reducing contact within the wider community. According to Milne, “While such draconian measures seem unlikely to be mandated given their impact on personal freedom, they appear to have a key role to play in delaying the development of a ‘worst case’ influenza epidemic. They may be critical in holding back an epidemic until vaccines are deployed on a sufficient scale that subsequent relaxation of these rigorous measures will not result in a consequential acceleration in the scale of the outbreak”.
The measures described must, however, be employed as soon as possible after the first individuals within the population have been infected, if not preemptively. This study found that, for an outbreak of influenza approximately as infectious as the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic, the combination of all intervention measures must be introduced within 2 weeks of the first case appearing in a town or city, to prevent an epidemic developing. Delays of 2, 3 and 4 weeks resulted in final attack rates of 7%, 21% and 45% respectively.
Milne concludes, “Social distancing interventions are important as they represent the only type of intervention measure guaranteed to be available against a novel strain of influenza in the early phases of a pandemic. They may be readily activated and thought of as a first line of defence in developing and developed countries alike”.

I'm upset.
how could you don't feel sad when everyone is asking you cancel, or postpone the trip which you have been waiting for so long? I'll definitely go then despite all the obstacles, but not sure what will happen after I get back, my colleagues suggest me to isolate myself for 7 days after I get back from the US next month, damn! it will eat my precious annual eave, which means my next trip!!!!!!
I know most people in US right now don't think it's a big deal, unlike here, taking it very very seriously, I understand that, but still...crazy!! have to figure it out.
In any case, I'll start packing, and trying to be excited.

Oi, gente. Tudo OK?
Finalmente tenho boas notícias para postar por aqui, estou livre do porquinho. Já fui ao médico essa semana e estou liberada para viver em sociedade novamente, ebaaaaa!!!!
Infelizmente essa gripe deixou algumas sequelas. Os medicamentos que eu tive que tomar durante esses dias ACABARAM com meu estômago. Fui parar no hospital duas vezes com dores horríveis e agora terei que fazer tratamento parar acertar essa bagunça toda no meu organismo. Aiai, fazer o que, né?? Juro que ainda estou tentando olhar pelo lado positivo da coisa, ver que eu me curei de uma doença que tantas pessoas estão com medo e que a única sequela até então são fortes dores e enxaqueca. Vamos ver como irei me sair entre essa semana e a próxima. Já estou devidamente medicada e agora, só o tempo mesmo.
Muito obrigada a todos pelas mensagens, pelo carinho e a atenção. Juro que logo coloco minhas coisas em dia, agora tenho que acertar várias coisinhas que viraram de ponta cabeça por conta desses dias afastada.
bjs a todos e muito obrigada
ps: alguém pode me dizer o que está acontecendo com o flickr? Não consigo visualizar meus grupos ou minhas atividades recentes.

UPDATE 11-10-09
After spending the past 3 days with a fever of 102.5 (and now feeling like I have an elephant sitting on my chest), I would like to apologize for my cavalier attitude about the swine flu/H1N1 virus. I take it all back.
Karma is such a bitch.
========================================
GENEVA (AP): The World Health Organization announced Thursday it will stop using the term ``swine flu'' to avoid confusion over the danger posed by pigs. The policy shift came a day after Egypt began slaughtering thousands of pigs in a misguided effort to prevent swine flu.........
And then.......This little piggy cried WEE! WEE! WEE!...all the way home! :)

Me, my wife and little Ella are currently struck by the Mexican flu (H1N1 virus), what seemed to be a common cold at first has put us at home for the last week, feeling tired to say the least, this flu doesn't seem to be worse than the common flu
but it seems to linger on longer, I'm currently feeling a little better but my wife and Ella are still sleeping most of the time.
Needless to say I'm not spending time on flickr. Hopefully I will be returning by the end of next week.
