長征四號B運載火箭 由 上海航天技术研究院 負責研製， 1989年 2月開始研製。該火箭是在 長征四號A火箭 的基礎上研製的運載能力更大的火箭，主要用於發射 太陽同步軌道 的對地觀測應用衛星。火箭主要作了下列改進： 加大了 整流罩 尺寸； 調整了三子級儀器艙的高度，以適應 衛星 對對接尺寸的需要； 控制系統用的程式配電器改用電子式，提高了發送程式指令的時間精度； 控制、遙測、跟蹤測量、安全自毀系統的儀器以及電纜網均實施小型化與輕量化，以減小其質量，提高運載能力； 二子級增加推進劑利用系統，提高了運載能力，同時發動機則採用高空噴管方案，提高了比沖的性能； 三子級設置了剩餘推進劑排放系統。 1999年 5月10日 長征四號B火箭 在 太原衛星發射中心 首次發射。 2013年 12月9日 中国在太原卫星发射中心用长征四号乙运载火箭发射中国与巴西合作研制的资源一号03星，火箭飞行过程中发生故障，卫星未能进入预定轨道，发射失败  The CBERS 3 satellite launched at 0326 GMT Monday (9:26 p.m. EST Sunday) on a Chinese Long March 4B rocket from the Taiyuan space center in northern China's Shanxi province, where it was 11:26 a.m. local time. The 15-story rocket was supposed to put the 2.3-ton spacecraft into orbit about 12 minutes later, but something went wrong. It was not clear early Monday when the rocket ran into trouble, but Chinese and Brazilian news reports said the satellite did not enter orbit. The mishap marks the first launch failure in 20 flights of the Long March 4B rock

談到鍾情本國歷史，中國人毫不遜色於英國人。英國財相奧斯本本周的中國貿易與投資之行再次使人回想起了兩國經貿交往的歷程。 在18與19世紀，正是英國人帶領西方列強迫使中國打開了其面向世界的經貿之門。 中國人一定還記得，1793年英國特使馬戛爾尼爵士率領第一支英國經貿代表團訪問中國，試圖說服強大的中華帝國賦予英國商人更多的經商自由。 當彼之時，大英「日不落帝國」和中華「中央之國」存在著相互競爭互不交融的世界觀。 如今，200多年過去，世界發生了天翻地覆的變化，但兩國在世界觀方面的差異依然存在。 由於利益的衝突、文化的差異以及馬戛爾尼拒絕給乾隆皇帝磕頭，英國的首次中國經貿之行歸於失敗。 古老戰艦 馬戛爾尼曾描述說，「中華帝國就像一艘古老而破敗的一流戰艦，過去150年有幸靠著一代代勤勉的船長使其免於沉沒，它勝過其鄰國之處僅在於它的體積與外表。」 馬戛爾尼說，一旦遇到一位不稱職者擔任船長，這艘大船將會遭殃。它可能不會立即沉沒，可能還會拖著破爛的船體漂浮一陣，最後在岸邊撞碎，再也無法在舊有的船體上進行修複。 對於中國這艘航船的現任船長、中國國家主席習近平來說，馬戛爾尼的這段話無疑極具可讀性。 在經歷了一個半世紀的屈辱—外國入侵，包括鴉片戰爭敗於英國，不停的內戰，經濟崩潰以及瘋狂的毛澤東時代，習近平可能會和其他許多中國人一樣承認，馬戛爾尼對中國的評論具有相當的預見性。 時過境遷 但面對目前世界發生的具有諷刺意味的變化，習近平的臉上可能會浮出一抹微笑。中國已經成為全球最大的主權財富基金國之一。在這種情況下，又有一支帶著完全不同信息的英國經貿代表團來到中國。 英國財相奧斯本說，中國的經濟正在發生變化。那些認為中國仍然是一個低工資、低技術經濟體的人正在犯著嚴重的錯誤。中國正在成為一個後起之秀的工業國，這為英國提供了巨大的商機。 中國已經在諸如希思羅機場和泰晤士水公司一些英國的重要領域購買了相當的股權，現在它的公司-其中許多是國有企業-正積極投資英國的基建、核能、再生能源、電訊和房地產等項目。 對於中英來兩國來說，這都是一個全新的局面。 過去兩個世紀，中英兩國的經濟關係只是貿易。起初，英國需要中國的茶和瓷器，但卻無法提供中國人喜愛的東西。 在馬戛爾尼訪華之後，中國皇帝乾隆曾致信英王喬治三世說，「天朝物產豐盈，無所不有，原不籍外夷貨物以通有無。」 英國於是只有鴉片向中國輸入了。長話短說，這導

大家都去過銀行，比如說去存錢，定期3.5％左右的利息，活期接近於0，那麼少的利息你滿意嗎？那貸款呢？銀行的貸款不是給一般人的，而是給國企還有地方 政府的，我們的民營企業拿得到貸款錢嗎？基本拿不到，所以按照我們的統計，中國超過99％的中小民營企業被排除在銀行之外，它們不得不進入黑市或者高利貸 市場去籌措資金，四分利，那就是年息48％，這一切就是因為國有銀行的壟斷。 這些國有銀行的存在使得老百姓中的存款者受到損失，借款者也受到了損 失，需不需要改革？現在只有兩個辦法：第一個，由上而下的強勢改革，李克強總理必須力排眾議，堅持改革，比如說上海自由貿易區它就是一個金融改革，「一行 三會」堅決反對，最後他力排眾議，堅持改革；另外一個改革就叫做「由下而上」的改革，給這些國有銀行造成極大經營壓力，這個推動者竟和金融無關，這個企業 家叫做馬雲，他搞了一個餘額寶。 「鯰魚效應」三板斧 馬雲大概有八億的用戶，現在支付寶的餘額高達 300億，那是不給利息的，餘額寶就是把你支付寶裏面的餘額給你利息，就是這麼簡單。可是它就是一個能夠由下而上推動你銀行改革的一個「鯰魚效應」，所以 與其叫做餘額寶，不如叫「鯰魚寶」好一點。這個餘額寶它非常重要，在不經意之間，馬雲同志透過餘額寶，帶來了可怕的「三板斧」： 第一板斧是成本大 戰，因為他給我們現在現存的這個國有銀行帶來極大的競爭壓力，他的餘額寶和一個貨幣基金天弘基金合作，收0.25％服務費，我就以華夏貨幣基金為例，他們 要收四種費，加在一起差不多要收0.88％的技術服務費，所以馬雲的餘額寶的天弘基金收的費用只有華夏貨幣基金的30％，所以馬雲第一板斧就砍掉了70％ 的成本。 第二個叫客戶大戰，銀行有個很有趣的「二八定律」，八成客戶都是我們這種小客戶，小客戶這些人人數特別多，錢又特別少，銀行特別不愛服務 他們。我舉個例子，馬雲在6月17日推出餘額寶之後，到六月底，大概半個月不到的時間，就有251萬人加入，66億元，所以平均每個人的餘額是2,629 元，這251萬人如果都去銀行有甚麼結果？每個人只要花一分鐘的時間，就需要5,229天才能夠處理完，換成銀行的話，就需要1,000家銀行一個禮拜才 能夠處理完，到最後發現一個人只是2,629元，要花這麼多時間處理，那銀行可能做這種事嗎？不可能的，因此80％的客戶必然是餘額寶的潛在客戶，因為上 餘額寶可以得到最好的服

A deposit insurance program is a measure to guarantee that a certain level of deposits are guaranteed by the state even if a bank cannot pay them. The new insurance system is also seen as laying a foundation for interest rate liberalization, as a market-oriented interest rate would force banks to lose built-in interest rate margins and could put depositors at risk. China started to relax its cap on interest rates from last June, lifting the ceiling of deposit rates while lowering the floor on lending rates. Currently, Chinese banks can pay up to 110 percent of the benchmark deposit rate - currently 3 percent a year - and charge loan rates as low as 70 percent of the benchmark level of 6 percent. This ensures that banks are guaranteed a margin of at least 90 basis points. STRONGER RISK CONTROLS In the report, the central bank also pledged to increase flexibility of the yuan's exchange rate as well as to quicken the pace of setting up a key benchmark rate for th

China late on Friday unveiled details of the long-term economic reforms agreed to at this month's Third Plenum, a key meeting of the country's top leaders. The 60-point reform plan is seen paving the way for sweeping changes in the world's second-biggest economy as it tries to steer away from investment-led growth to a consumption-driven economy. Here's what you need to know about the main reforms. 1) One-child policy relaxed: The controversial policy introduced in 1979 has contributed to falling birth rates. Now the policy is to be eased to allow couples to have two children if one the parents is an only child. Baby-product related stocks such as Goodbaby International soared in Hong Kong on Monday following the easing of the one-child policy. "The reason they (China's leaders) have to change the one-child policy is because China has aging population and everybody knows an aging population needs to be supported," David Kuo, CE

The US may have averted a debt default, and the government is open for business again, but the compromise is far from a long term solution. Global Chief Investment Officer of Credit Suisse’s Private Banking & Wealth Management division, Michael Strobaek, says that while risks have been abated in the short term investors should not chase rising prices. Cushla Sherlock: The disputes in the US were resolved just before the deadline. Have the risks now been reduced in the short term? Michael Strobaek: Yes. Risks have been reduced in the short term. Uncertainty disappeared and we saw markets move slightly higher as a consequence. However, whether the compromise can really be called a 'solution' is questionable. Therefore, uncertainty may come back again . For now, we have three new deadlines: The debt ceiling has been raised until February 7, 2014, the budget is now financed through January 15, 2014 and Congress has set up a Special Committee to report back o

Cushla Sherlock: A year ago, European Central Bank President Mario Draghi settled markets with his vow to do "whatever it takes" to save the euro. How would you characterize the current situation in the Eurozone? Michael Strobaek: The situation is significantly better now. With his comments a year ago, Mario Draghi managed to put a backstop to fears that the Eurozone was on the verge of collapsing. Since then, we have seen peripheral bond spreads come down significantly. That too, has calmed the situation and made it clear to investors that the Eurozone will move on from the recession. Growth indicators for the area have positively surprised recently, showing that the Eurozone is slowly recovering. While investors still called the Eurozone the number one risk a year ago, today they are most concerned about a hard landing of the Chinese economy. Will we see a further slowdown in China's growth? First, we do not think China is in for a hard landing. But growth is likely to

Cushla Sherlock: Why should investors consider emerging markets? Sakthi Siva: There are two reasons for investors to consider emerging markets. First, because of the longer-term structural forces. That includes good demographics, young populations, good return on equity, strong corporate balance sheets, good sovereign balance sheets, and improving trends in all of those. Second, there's also the shorter-term factors. This year in particular, emerging markets have been a bit laggard. But, because of special factors, that could reverse quite soon. Why have emerging markets under-performed so far this year? For three reasons. First, in the fourth quarter of last year, emerging markets had a very strong run, so we think this year's underperformance is partly a payback for that. Second, higher than expected inflation has picked up in some emerging markets, and probably earlier than we expected. That's also a bit of a constraint. And third, for markets like Korea, which has playe

高永文：醫保鼓勵套餐式收費 2013年05月30日    食物及衞生局局長高永文說，政府透過自願私人醫療保險優化市場上的產品，當中會涉及監管；同時 找出誘因，刺激或幫助中產市民，透過購買自願私人醫保，多用私院，少用公院 。當局不會放棄套餐式收費，除了在醫保內推動，亦會直接與私院商討，鼓勵他們推出套餐式收費。    高永文今天（5月30日）會見傳媒時表示，諮詢結果顯示市民的共識是不希望推行任何強制式供款計劃，所以現在醫療改革的方向是自願式私人醫療保險。自願式私人醫療保險完全是個人選擇，香港最主要的安全網仍然是公營醫療服務，政府不會放棄對公院的支持。    他說，醫療保險是個風險攤分機制，不是全包機制。現在只是立法會衞生事務委員會下的一個專責委員會，跟進政府這方面的工作，政府這時將顧問這階段做的的工作，作一個階段性的報告給立法會，不代表這是一個最後的建議，年底有詳細建議諮詢市民。    高永文說，政府不是放棄套餐式收費，亦從來不可能所有醫療服務都可納入套餐式收費。在私人醫療中，很多時在病人入院時不知道是患什麼病，要在入院後才知需要進行什麼檢查，在診斷後才知道是什麼病，然後才知道如何治療，不可假設套餐式收費可做到百分百。    政府認為現在的醫療保險存在一些問題，雖然統計上約有30％市民已購買醫療保險，但當中有些未必性質上有保險，只是現金計劃，另一部分真正的醫保保額未必足夠，亦有很多排除的項目，所以很多病人購買後都會到公立醫院。    他 表示，整個計劃是希望透過監管，提升私人醫保產品的質量，做到少些排除和多些保障；然後透過多些人購買私人醫保，令保險公司有議價能力，與服務提供者議 價，促進套餐式收費。但這非政府的全部工作，因為未有自願醫保前已和私院討論，鼓勵他們多用套餐式收費，和透過報價提高私營醫療的透明度。    對於有市民希望政府監管和為私人醫療服務設定收費額，高永文說，在私營服務中，應該主要是市場，政府不應過度干預。但當局希望提高收費透明度，已開始與私院討論透過報價和鼓勵套餐式收費，增加市民使用私營醫療服務時的透明度和可估計度。

食物及衞生局局長高永文表示，有關自願性質私家醫療保險方案，最快年底公布，並在明年年初開始公眾諮詢，預計至少4年後方案才可實施。 當中住院醫保設立最低水平要求，預料保費會調高1成，政府會考慮提出稅務優惠吸引中產人士購買醫保，減少使用公營醫療服務。 對於現時高風險人士可能無法購買醫療保險，高永文說，顧問公司初步建議， 可由政府設立「高風險池」，在政策推出頭一年容許高風險病人加入，如果他們不加入，當局稍後會加入年齡限制，避免政府無上限注資，同時鼓勵市民年輕時購買 醫療保險，吸引有能力的市民選擇更多私營醫療服務，減輕公營醫療服務負擔。

昨日，人力社保部副部长胡晓义在中国记协举办的新闻茶座上向媒体回应了近期有关社会保障的热点话题。胡晓义表示，到2020年，我国将全面建成覆盖城乡居民的社会保障体系。他还澄清，“多部门就延长养老保险缴费等达成共识”的说法并不准确。      以房养老只能作为 基本养老保险 的补充     胡晓义说，我国已经建立起世界上最大的社会保障计划，但养老保险还有约2亿人未覆盖，大部分是就业流动性强的农民工。近日有媒体称多部委与多套养老方案设计者们召开了为期两天的闭门会议，并在 养老制度 上达成了多项共识，其中就包括延长养老保险最低缴费15年的年限下限。就此，胡晓义首先说明，确实有这样的会议，但政府部门并未在会上发表任何意见， “多部门达成共识”的说法并不准确。     他表示， 缴费年限 确实与待遇相联系，如果都缴满15年后就停止缴费，其后果就是待遇水平会比较低。“我们是希望整个职业生涯中参保人能够持续缴费的。”胡晓义表明态度。     至于到底会不会提高15年的缴费门槛，胡晓义说：“这是个敏感问题，需要继续深入研究。”他也透露，一些典型国家设定了领取养老金的缴费年 限上限，达到上限可全额领取养老金，否则就进行递减，“是设定最低限，然后做加法，还是设定最高限再做减法，其实差别不大，主要看参保人的意识习惯和接受 度”。     对于以房养老，胡晓义强调，以房养老并不是要取代基本养老保险，只能作为基本养老保险的补充，是锦上添花的事情。如果有条件、有可能，就可以选择以房养老。      推迟退休年龄问题会慎之又慎     对于是否会推迟退休年龄，胡晓义指出，会慎之又慎。但如果单单从维持 养老基金 的收支平衡这个角度来论述推迟退休年龄视角有些偏窄。更大的社会背景是，去年新增劳动力的数量首次出现了下降，意味着中国劳动力无限供给时代已经结束，如何节约用人、提高人力资源的利用效应提到重要层面。如果在劳动力仍有足够工作能力时就让其中断工作，对人力是极大的浪费 来源： 北京青年报

來源：南方周末 在愈來愈高的房價逼迫下，人們猜測政府會做點什麼。樓市調控長效機制不斷被專家、官員提及，似乎成了一劑秘而不宣的靈丹。 京城再現搶房潮 2013年10月20日的清晨，近萬人涌進了北京工業大學體育館。在觀眾席上，他們的表情隨著體育館內的變化而變化：忽而喜形于色，忽而情緒激動。 但體育館內並沒有比賽，也沒有運動員，只有一群被購房者“圍攻”得狼狽不堪的樓盤銷售員，和一排貼著密密麻麻紅色已認籌標識的內銷控表——這裏是珠江四季 悅城的開盤現場，1000套房源竟然吸引了5000個購房者事先報名，這讓開發商竟然不得不史無前例地租一個體育館來賣房子。 在放盤的四小時之內，價值兩三百萬的房子像大白菜一樣，迅速被搶購一空。房源清空後現場很多購房者都不願離去，一邊抱怨一邊拉著售樓員打聽下期開盤的情況，“找什麼關係下期能選房？”到後來連開發商的銷售員都來安慰購房者要冷靜：“買房要理性，不要跟風。” 似乎2009年年末令人驚悚的搶房潮重演，在經過連續四年的房地產調控後，中國大城市高漲的房價不僅沒有絲毫回落，反而在近兩個月迎來新一輪全面上漲的浪潮。北京是其中的“領頭羊”，在過去一年，北京多個區域房價暴漲了60%以上。 旭輝E天地推出500套房，兩小時內被秒殺。華潤公元九裏三小時內所有房子被一搶而空。一位好不容易買到了珠江四季悅城的購房人嘆道：“現場都像瘋了，買房原來和買彩票一樣要運氣。” 中國國家統計局10月22日公布的數據亦顯示，北京、上海、深圳和廣州等一線城市9月份房價在加速上漲。北京9月平均房價同比上漲16%，漲幅高于8月份 的14.9%。廣州房價上漲20%，8月份漲幅為18.8%。上海房價上漲17%，8月份漲幅為15.4%。深圳房價上漲19.7%，8月份漲幅為 18.1%。 在這種背景下，調控升級的確存在可能。各方面的跡象表明，決策層對房地產調控的思路會跟過去不同，將會更著重于中長期的市場的培育和建設。華遠地產 [-1.44% 資金 研報]董事長任志強參與過房地產長效機制的討論，他稱該方案已經幾易其稿，參與討論的專家都簽署了保密條款。任志強曾經在2012年年中預測北京樓市在 “2013年3月會暴漲”。 北京市國土局的負責人亦對南方周末記者稱，“住建部牽頭的長效機制討論稿是絕密文件”。在高漲的房價倒逼下，十八屆三

The expert panel's classification was made after scientists analyzed more than 1,000 studies worldwide and concluded there was enough evidence that exposure to outdoor air pollution causes lung cancer. In 2010, IARC said there were more than 220,000 lung cancer deaths worldwide connected to air pollution. The agency also noted a link with a slightly higher risk of bladder cancer. Straif said there were dramatic differences in air quality between cities around the world and that the most polluted metropolises were in China and India, where people frequently don masks on streets to protect themselves. China recently announced new efforts to curb pollution after experts found the country's thick smog hurts tourism. Beijing only began publicly releasing data about its air quality last year. from NBCNews

LAST June, one of the world's most advanced hacker groups hit a problem. The US defence contractor whose systems it wanted to access only allowed a small set of trusted IP addresses to connect to their network. In an unusual move – hackers typically go for the low-hanging fruit – the group hacked the company that provided the IP whitelisting service, enabling it to forge access certificates. This group, which calls itself Hidden Lynx, was given a vague face last week when antivirus software-maker Symantec released a report profiling it. Believed to be based in China, the group is known only through traces of malicious software bearing its mark found in the compromised computers of some of the world's largest companies. One of the best known exploits of the so-called Hidden Lynx group was the devastating compromise of security firm Bit9 in 2012. The Waltham, Massachusetts, company provides an "application whitelisting" service that allows custo

 Barnaby Jack, a celebrated computer hacker who forced bank ATMs to spit out cash and sparked safety improvements in medical devices, died in San Francisco, a week before he was due to make a high-profile presentation at a hacking conference. The New Zealand-born Jack, 35, was found dead on Thursday evening by "a loved one" at an apartment in San Francisco's Nob Hill neighborhood, according to a police spokesman. He would not say what caused Jack's death but said police had ruled out foul play. Jack was one of the world's most prominent "white hat" hackers - those who use their technical skills to find security holes before criminals can exploit them. His genius was finding bugs in the tiny computers embedded in equipment, such as medical devices and cash machines. He often received standing ovations at conferences for his creativity and showmanship while his research forced equipment makers to fix bugs in their software. Jack h

Below are some simple practices that you may adopt to keep your valuable information and data out of hackers’ reach. Safeguard your computers Secure your computers with anti-virus software. Keep virus signatures, spyware signatures, Windows and other software patches updated. Enable personal firewall. Securely protect your smartphones and tablets Lock your smartphones and tablets by enabling passcode and automatic screen lock after a short period of inactivity. Avoid storing confidential / sensitive data on your smartphones and tablets. Securely erase / wipe all the data in your device before discarding or selling your device. Set Strong passwords Enable password protection for all your computing devices, smartphones and files (e.g. Excel and PDF files) containing confidential information. Avoid sensitive data transmission Do not post or transmit any files containing sensitive data over the Internet. If you have to

Developed by neuroscientists and software engineers at the University of Waterloo in Canada, Spaun includes a 784-pixel digital eye, and a robotic arm for writing, but the real meat of it is its 2.5 million simulated neurons which are used to emulate parts of a human brain like the prefrontal cortex, basal ganglia, and thalamus. Using all those neurons, it can think through questions and solve limited problems the same way a human brain can, albeit in a much more finite sense. Even though its makers claim it is the "most complex" artificial brain in existence, it's tricks are pretty scant; it mostly does things like recognize patterns and (mis)remember long strings of numbers. Which is pretty much what it takes to be able to struggle through most of an IQ test, even if it's a low score. The impressive thing here isn't so much what Spaun can do, but what it can do considering it's built to act like a real, pulsing, fleshy brain. In the futu

Security research team BlueBox has discovered a bug in Google’s Android operating system which could make 99 percent of all devices vulnerable to a frightening attack. A vulnerability in the OS could theoretically allow attackers to take control of an otherwise legitimate app. From here the attacker could steal information or control the device itself. According to BlueBox CTO Jeff Forristal, this vulnerability has been present in Android for the last four years and could affect as many as 900 million devices around the world. BlueBox alerted Google about this vulnerability in February and will explain how the bug affects Android later this month at the Black Hat USA Security Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada. “The vulnerability involves discrepancies in how Android applications are cryptographically verified & installed, allowing for APK code modification without breaking the cryptographic signature,” writes Forristal on the BlueBox corporate blog . “All Android appl

A federal indictment made public today in New Jersey charges five men with conspiring in a worldwide hacking and data breach scheme that targeted major corporate networks, stole more than 160 million credit card numbers and resulted in hundreds of millions of dollars in losses.  It is the largest such scheme ever prosecuted in the United States. U.S. Secret Service (USSS), Criminal Investigations, Newark, N.J., Division (The USSS) led the investigation of the indicted conspiracy. The defendants allegedly sought corporate victims engaged in financial transactions, retailers that received and transmitted financial data and other institutions with information they could exploit for profit.  The defendants are charged with attacks on NASDAQ, 7-Eleven, Carrefour, JCP, Hannaford, Heartland, Wet Seal, Commidea, Dexia, JetBlue, Dow Jones, Euronet, Visa Jordan, Global Payment, Diners Singapore and Ingenicard.  It is not alleged that the NASDAQ hack affected its trading platform.

interview with Stephen Watt, aka UT (Unix Terrorist)  - convicted felon CNBC video For start-ups eager to displace more established military contractors, selling vulnerabilities—and expertise about how to use them—has become a lucrative opportunity. Firms like Vupen in Montpellier, France; Netragard in Acton, Mass.; Exodus Intelligence in Austin, Tex.; and ReVuln, Mr. Auriemma's and Mr. Ferrante's Maltese firm, freely advertise that they sell knowledge of the flaws for cyberespionage and in some cases for cyberweapons. Outside Washington, a Virginia start-up named Endgame—in which a former director of the N.S.A. is playing a major role—is more elusive about its abilities. But it has developed a number of tools that it sells primarily to the United States government to discover vulnerabilities, which can be used for fighting cyberespionage and for offensive purposes.

The compiler encountered some conversion of a pointer that caused the pointer to point to a different type. You should use a cast to suppress this warning if the conversion is proper. A common cause of this warning is when the C compiler converts a function pointer of one type to another (the C++ compiler generates an error when asked to do that). It can be suppressed by doing a typecast . Here is a common occurrence of it for Windows programmers: #define STRICT #include <windows.h> LPARAM _export WndProc( HWND , UINT , WPARAM , LPARAM ); test() { WNDCLASS wc; wc.lpfnWndProc = WndProc; //warning }   It is suppressed by making the assignment to lpfnWndProc as follows:   wc.lpfnWndProc = ( WNDPROC ) WndProc;       

Italian scientists claim they have invented a method for carrying out a head transplant - a discovery that could prove life-changing for patients suffering from hitherto incurable diseases. Boffins at the Turin Advanced Neuromodulation Group claim to have devised a new way to connect the brain to the spinal column. The technique is useful for anyone who wants a new head - which might prove a bit difficult to enjoy - or fancies a new body. It draws upon the research of Robert White, who in 1970 transplanted of the head of one rhesus monkey onto the body of another. Sadly, the monkeys didn't live for very long with their new heads in place, but the Italian researchers are optimistic nonetheless. Dr Sergio Canavero of the University of Turin, said that a "clean cut" was needed with a super-sharp blade. If this is done correctly, he believes it is already possible to join a brain to a body. He said: "It is my contention that the technology only now e

Scientists are claiming that they have now isolated unusual ingredients in a rare seaweed discovered by fishermen off the coast of Korea that offer incredible health benefits—including the ability to restore blood pressure to normal levels. Dr. Haengwoo Lee, a renowned biochemist living near Seattle, Washington conducted a massive 15 year, multimillion dollar clinical study on these two ingredients. The first is Seanol, an extremely rare seaweed extract from Ecklonia Cava that's proven to be 100 times more powerful than any land-based antioxidant. That's because it stays working in your body for 12 hours, compared to land-based antioxidants that work for 30 minutes. "Its secret is its make-up of special polyphenol antioxidants that are a whopping 40% lipid (fat) soluble," Dr. Lee explains. "Unlike nearly all land-based antioxidants that are water soluble, Seanol's protective compounds can get into things like the fatty tissues of your brain an

In fact, not only did phone volumes fall 21% year over year in the recent quarter, worse is the company's device operating margin, which now stands at an abysmal minus-1.5% after a 32% drop in device revenue. When Elop arrived, device margins were in the high single-digits. Elop's response regarding eroding market leverage has been to cut more costs. But when has this strategy ever worked? Companies that are competing for market share have to spend to grow -- they don't save their way into more sales. Fixing Nokia With or Without Elop Equally egregious is that Elop seems stubborn in the idea that Windows remains what's best for Nokia. This is while he's ignoring the winning formula laid out by Samsung which has soared to the number one spot in worldwide sales -- thanks (in part) to the global adoption of Android. Elop's resistance to change is unforgiveable. Yet, Nokia investors insist on being patient. That's all well and good. But patience has its limits.

scientists at the UK's Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) certainly think so. Radiation 'potential showstopper' They have been testing a lightweight system to protect astronauts and spacecraft components from harmful radiation and working with colleagues in America to design a concept spaceship called Discovery that could take astronauts to the Moon or Mars. "Star Trek has great ideas -- they just don't have to build it," said Ruth Bamford, lead researcher for the deflector shield project at RAL. "The radiation problem is a potential showstopper. I'm very concerned that the radiation issue is not being addressed very publicly and it's absolutely key. "Even if astronauts are sick for 3-4 days, it could still threaten the mission because the whole crew are affected -- and vomiting and diarrhea in space is no joke. It could also potentially lead to organ failure," said Bamford. The RAL plan is to create an environm

Egypt's revolution in 2011 proved two incredibly important things for Egyptian youth. Continue reading the main story First, that the combined power of the crowd can accomplish anything. Second, that it takes critical networks of communication and collaboration to activate that crowd. While the revolution eventually led to the collapse of a 30-year old regime , it has also had a lesser-chronicled impact - becoming a catalyst for a growing movement of technology start-ups booming across the country. Egypt's swelling mass of young, educated, and enlightened graduates are now working on changing the future of a nation byte by byte, not just brick by brick. And embracing the principles of the revolution, many of their start-ups are using this idea of collaboration, and the power of the crowd, to make it happen. Local networking For at least one start-up, the story begins amongst millions of protestors in Cairo's Tahrir
