Gaza/West Bank DST has ended
by Steffen Thorsen Sept. 24, 2012

Sept. 24, 2012

The Palestinian News & Info Agency reported on 2012-09-19 that "The three papers also said that the Palestinian government decided in its cabinet meeting on Tuesday to start winter time as of 1:00 a.m. Friday morning by turning the clock back one hour." http://english.wafa.ps/index.php?action=detail&id=20705 There are a few other sources for the same - so, West Bank is at least back on standard time, and not having found any articles stating that Gaza is having a different date, I would assume Gaza did change the clocks too.

Russia plans to turn it's clocks back one hour to "permanent winter time".
by Alexander Krivenyshev Sept. 23, 2012

Sept. 23, 2012

Here we are go again. Russia plans to move back from "permanent summer time" (now many areas have its time 2 hours ahead of the mean solar time) to "permanent winter time". As we mentioned in the past: Russia may move its clocks back one or two hours. (http://www.worldtimezone.com/dst_news/dst_news_russia46.html) Today, according to news, "The chairman of the State Duma's heath care committee, Sergei Kalashnikov, has submitted a bill to turn the nation's clocks back one hour to winter time - permanently ..." (http://themoscownews.com/russia/20120920/190253347.html) It is unclear if all Russian regions will turn their's clocks back one hour (in the past Kamchatka region was against moving it's clock back from UTC+12 to UTC+11). http://www.worldtimezone.com/dst_news/dst_news_russia47.html Alexander Krivenyshev, http://www.worldtimezone.com

Descriptions of the various medications

Viral diseases There are many viral diseases. Let's talk about the most common ones. Let's start with the flu virus. There are many laboratories around the world who regularly completion of stockpile vaccines and drugs to treat it. The influenza virus is most studied infectious agents. It should be noted that the epidemic virus Grip occur every year, and every few decades the epidemic of influenza is becoming a pandemic. The influenza virus has the ability to quickly change their structure. These changes affect the surface proteins - antigens, which recognizes the human immune system. Immunity of a man who developed a in contact with a variety of virus is not able to recognize the other, and when she begins her infection recognize only after full development of the disease. Antigenic variation is the ability of the virus to change its structure. It is because of her flu occur regularly. This regularity is alien to other infections, and only because of it being infected with influenza most people. Antigenic variation is of two kinds. First - antigenic drift, the second - antigenic shift. Antigenic drift - it mutations affecting two major viral proteins - hemagglutinin (H), which provides introduction of the pathogen in human cells, and neuraminidase (N), which is responsible for the output of mutated viruses from the cell. The emergence of antigenic drift is due to the fact that the enzyme, which doubles the viral RNA in the process of creating new viruses, no function of protection against errors that occur during the synthesis. These errors and lead to a mutation of the pathogen. The very same process of antigenic drift leads to a gradual change in the structure of the influenza virus, which causes it to partial or complete neuznavaniyu human immune system. It is for this reason there is a need systematically change the antigens included in the flu vaccine. Antigenic shifts - are the most significant changes in the antigenic composition of the virus. Promotes emergence antegennyh shifts that influenza can affect not only human cells, but also of animals: pigs, horses, birds, etc. In cases where the body there is more than one species of the virus, is the exchange of entire genes between viruses, thereby producing new strains of influenza, which in most cases are more aggressive than the original ones. This process and called antigenic shift. Now a wide range of antiviral drugs that you can to *buy* in our *online pharmacy <http://superpills.blogspot.com/>*. The best effect of these drugs is achieved in situations where they are beginning to use when detecting the first symptoms of influenza infection, but they are also able to facilitate the course of the disease at any stage.

Fwd: Fiji DST for 2012-2013 announced
by Arthur David Olson Sept. 12, 2012

Sept. 12, 2012

> > Microsoft's time zone information cannot encode penultimate Sundays, > a "POSIX-style" TZ environment variable string can't encode it either! > Does zic omit the recurring rule string from the end of the version 2 tzfile in this case? zic does indeed omit the rule string in such cases. Examining such omissions is a way of identifying areas where the POSIX specification might be usefully extended (for example, recognition of a 'u' element in a time of day to specify that it's universal time--this would allow a POSIX-style Godthab rule). --ado

My (unpatched) Windows 7 machine extends the 2010 rule [Fourth Sunday October to Last Sunday March] on to infinity. They have published at least two updates since then that I've been able to find that tweak the rules, and I haven't verified firsthand but have no particular reason to doubt they similarly extend the then-latest rules [Fourth Sunday January to First Sunday March, based on update description text] indefinitely, and expect to publish further hotfixes. -- Random832
