Why more boys are born – Eos Science

For every 100 girls 107 boys are born worldwide. At fertilization, the number of boys and girls alike, however. Until now, scientists thought that even just after fertilization were more male than female embryos. But that turns out to be wrong. Girls and boys start in equal numbers, but in the pregnancy of a girl is greater risk of miscarriage, according to a study by the Fresh Pond Research Institute in Cambridge, US .
Steven Hecht Orzack and his colleagues examined a large set of US data on fetuses at different times during pregnancy. Including embryos that originated from artificial insemination or in vitro fertilization, data on abortions, flakes tests and amniocentesis (which always is a risk of miscarriage), and dates of death and live births.
Analysis of all the data showed that there are many boys as girls ‘made’. But the male embryos appear to be for more genetic defects, so more male than female embryos are divested during the first week after conception. Those early miscarriages are actually quite normal: about half of the fertilized eggs spontaneously emitted before the woman in question knows that she is pregnant
then boys are the stronger sex.. Because during the next ten to fifteen weeks ending more pregnancies of girls than of boys in a miscarriage. By the end of pregnancy (between week 28 and week 35) are then more boys born dead.
We look at the entire pregnancy, than die more female than male embryos, concludes Orzack. Leaving some at birth slightly more boys. In the US are born for every 100 girls 105 boys – in Belgium and the Netherlands are the same figures. Worldwide is about 107 boys – to make that possible with higher numbers of abortions (unwanted) girl babies. In China, for example, be there for every hundred girls 112 to 119 boys born. (Bw)
The study is published in the journal PNAS .

Ratio of boys and girls changes during pregnancy – NU.nl

Many experts assumed that at fertilization boys were in the majority.

In the first week after conception would allow more male embryos life, is evident from the research published Monday. From the tenth to the fifteenth week but go more female unborn dead.

That every year, slightly more boys than girls are born, was already known. Now it seems that the ratio between the number of boys and girls during pregnancy changes.

iculture compares: streaming music service of KPN, T-Mobile and Vodafone – iculture

Today announced a Vodafone a collaboration with Napster. This service, which was launched in 1999 as infamous and illegal music sharing service, is now part of the American Rhapsody and can be seen as a competitor to Spotify and Deezer. With this collaboration offer all three major Dutch providers now a streaming music to their subscription. But which provider is actually the best you

Also : iculture review: best streaming music app for iPhone iPad

Opportunities streaming music

Vodafone does it with Napster, KPN with Spotify and T Mobile is committed to Deezer. All these music services have one thing in common: you can stream in the paid subscription unlimited music from a huge catalog of music files. The differences are found mainly in the details. Thus, T-Mobile offers via Deezer’s largest music library, but is the only KPN where you get extra data to stream Spotify music. First, let’s begin to drop off the three services together:

	Spotify Premium	Deezer Premium +	Napster
Price p / month	€ 9.99	€ 9.99	€ 9.95
Music Offer	20 million	35 million	34 million
Bitrate	320 kbps max	max 320kbps	192 kbps
Webplayer	yes	yes	yes
Offline caching	yes	yes	yes
Custom music upload	No	yes	no
Lyrics	yes	yes	No
Last.fm scrobbling	yes	yes	No
Mobile Apps	iOS, Android, Windows Phone	iOS, Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone	iOS, Android, Windows Phone

If we look at the table well, we notice that the services are all equally expensive. It is also clear that Napster still drop some stitches. The bitrate of the music files is lower (192 kbps) and the service does not support lyrics and Last.fm scrobbling.

Spotify and Deezer are evenly matched, although the range of music from Spotify is smaller, represented almost all the popular artists. Only with obscure music you have previously successfully with Deezer. What could be important: with Deezer you can upload your own music collection and make it available for streaming. That can at Spotify, unless you are willing to apply a few tricks and you are sure that all the music tags with deutsche Gründlichkeit have in order.

Clearly Deezer on paper that has the best cards, followed closely by Spotify. But what about when we look at the offer of the Dutch providers?

KPN

KPN is Spotify Premium subscription only free for people with the most expensive subscription (Carefree Premium € 54 per month). In other subscriptions you pay for a Spotify Premium subscription € 10 per month, the same amount that requires Spotify itself for its premium service. Yet there is certainly value to your Spotify Premium subscription to run through KPN: You get 1500 MB per month extra on top of your data bundle. It allows you a lot of songs streaming over 3G or 4G. Another nice feature is the additional option that Spotify offers KPN. Have a Spotify Premium subscription, you can easily connect to your account KPN account. Vodafone and T-Mobile you will have to cancel the current subscription and streaming need resealing, which is much more cumbersome

T-Mobile

T-Mobile calling with big letters” unlimited music streaming with Deezer, but this is a bit misleading. The music you over 3G or 4G streaming with Deezer app is something I think on your data plan. The lowercase letters can be read that T-Mobile is still mostly assumes that you are streaming over Wi-Fi or the songs for caches you walk out the door. Anyway, the offer of T-Mobile is not wrong: get with the Deezer Fixed option you access to Deezer Premium + with a discount of € 4 on the monthly price. You will not pay € 9.99 but only € 5.99 per month. Do you think your mobile streaming behavior falls within your data plan, then this discount a nice windfall.

Vodafone

> Vodafone does from April 7 to Napster. However, the monthly price is cheaper than if you hire directly from Napster: € 9.95 per month. You should especially have the introductory offer: buy a single bundle of 100 MB (à € 3) or join a new subscription off, then the first six months of Napster Vodafone free. We count that as by then it will cost you a abonnementje Napster Vodafone € 4.98 per month (1 year subscription), or € 7.46 per month (2-year subscription). Napster because it makes high against its competitors seems this offer only interesting for those looking to try a half year Napster and timely terminates the service, or who goes for an annual subscription with Vodafone. Vodafone has promised to inform customers in advance when the half-year period expires.

Conclusion streaming music over providers

If you are about to take out a new subscription and you’re definitely plan to use streaming music, you’ll make an interesting choice. Both KPN and T-Mobile with additional data have discount on the price per month, respectively, an interesting proposition, while working with services that are matched. Vodafone is selling more difficult: who is going for a jaarabonnementje may well try out the half year free Napster, but you’re usually pretty faithful in your provider choice than the partnership with Napster is still less interesting

Half year free Napster for Vodafone customers – Overclockers

Telecom Provider Vodafone gives customers a half year of free access to Napster, a music streaming service which you subscribe normally have to close of 9.95 euros per month.

That collaboration was announced today. To take advantage of the offer, you have to buy a single bundle of 100 MB. That costs about 3 euros. Also, you must do so before 30 June. From April 7, the action also applies to new and sustaining customers, once they close a Red or Smart subscription with Vodafone.

Although there is no cost to sit on the Napster subscription itself connected, you pay for the data that you burned while streaming music. Which is deducted from your mobile bundle. That does not apply, if you connect via wifi.

Napster?

Napster began as peer-to-peer network, where Internet pirates in the years around the turn of illegal music together shared. Meanwhile, the brand has passed several owners and Napster is now a legal streaming service similar to Spotify. You will find more than 34 million songs.

Vodafone is not the only provider that interacts with a streaming service. For instance, KPN Spotify Premium and T-Mobile is teamed with Deezer
