The best local SIM cards in Europe Donald Strachan replies If you only want to make a few calls and send the odd text, it is usually not worth changing your UK SIM. For example, O2’s standard rates are 24p per minute to call, and 7p to text if you use your phone in France. That’s cheaper than many domestic networks. In Italy, TIM (tim.it) and Vodafone (vodafone.it) offer the best coverage. Vodafone (vodafone.es) has the SMART 12 package, with 1 Gb of internet, 60 texts and an hour of talktime. In France data is much cheaper with a prepaid SIM (a carte prépayée sans engagement). Turkey is outside the regulated EU zone. Pretty much anywhere, a new local SIM costs only nominal fee, and comes with a small amount of call credit pre-loaded onto the card. Note that if you have a contract with Three in the UK (three.co.uk), you can make calls and send texts to UK numbers, and use your data allowance, at no extra roaming cost.

Laugh Break Stories - College Applicant This is an actual essay written by a college applicant to NYU in response to this question: I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row. I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I am an abrstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy.
The Role of Public Health Informatics in Enhancing Public Health Surveillance July 27, 2012 / 61(03);20-24 Thomas G. Savel, MD Seth Foldy, MD Public Health Surveillance and Informatics Program Office (proposed), CDC Corresponding author: Thomas G. Public health surveillance has benefitted from, and has often pioneered, informatics analyses and solutions. This report proposes a vision for informatics in enhancing public health surveillance, identifies challenges and opportunities, and suggests approaches to attain the vision. The work of public health informatics can be divided into three categories. The informatics perspective can provide insights and opportunities to improve each of the seven ongoing elements of any public health surveillance system (3). Planning and system design – Identifying information and sources that best address a surveillance goal; identifying who will access information, by what methods and under what conditions; and improving analysis or action by improving the surveillance system interaction with other information systems.

Save Food from the Fridge by Jihyun Ryou Although we seem to think and talk about food almost constantly, do we really know how best to preserve it or do we leave this responsibility to technology? Design Academy Eindhoven graduate Jihyun Ryou feels we no longer understand how to treat food. Her Save Food from the Fridge project involves placing certain foods on a group of "knowledge shelves" outside the fridge. Perhaps through a better relationship with our food we may be able to waste less and conserve more energy. The ethylene gas produced by apples keeps potatoes from sprouting. Storing root vegetables vertically keeps them fresher longer. The umpteen tiny holes on the surface of an eggshell allows odors from other foods to be absorbed, so keeping them out of the fridge will ensure their tastiness. The glass cup of water is used to test freshness: a fresh egg will sink and remain horizontal. Fruit vegetables such as zucchini, aubergines, peppers and cucumbers are better off outside the fridge, placed above a water tray.
