Learn about healthy resources for women
Updated 4:24 pm, Monday, May 13, 2013
Women have served in the U.S. Army since 1775. Today, women serve in multiple capacities and in 95 percent of all Army occupational specialties.
Generally, women in today's Army must carry the same equipment, run and march the same distance, and undergo the same exposures as their male counterparts.
Currently, women comprise one of the fastest growing groups among our veterans. In 2011, the Veteran Administration reported that women represented approximately 8 percent of all U.S. Veterans.
While there are many research and policy related activities pertinent to the health of our military women, there is a common consensus about the importance of frequent preventive screening and counseling.
The Army Medical Department has made multiple resources available for the screening and counseling as well as to educate women in the Army.
As women continue to perform in critical facets of the military, we cannot forget that military spouses and daughters have also endured many sacrifices. At times, some of these sacrifices may result in the inability for them to maintain their own health.
The Army Medical Department also recognized the importance of educating military beneficiaries about the health and self-care services available. A healthy military community is the sole focus of health service men and women. Although our family members may benefit from an environment that promotes health, fitness and activity. It is important for them to be healthy, be aware and promote that awareness to neighbors and families. Health is truly best achieved through prevention and education.
Women and men have similar health conditions, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office on Women's Health. However, the risks for the development of many chronic conditions, such as those that potentially affect heart health, tend to increase as women age. Obesity, depression and osteoarthritis are more common among women, and there are also conditions that are unique to women, such as pregnancy, menopause, and cervical and uterine cancer.
Annual screening and counseling for these conditions can help with prevention, early detection and treatment. Similarly, empowering young women with awareness about the importance of annual visits for screening and counseling can also help improve their knowledge base on other services available to them, which may help prevent issues such as body image, pregnancy, fitness and nutrition. These services also provide another opportunity to access information about the effect of poor habits such as smoking and services available for the prevention of violence against women.
As we celebrate National Women's Health Month, we invite everyone to explore the available information and services. Women make up roughly 16 percent of our Army forces, and an estimated 52 percent of eligible TRICARE beneficiaries are female.
It is a good time to take advantage of the opportunity to learn more about the prevention of cancer, osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease, as well as the services available for smoking cessation, education about menopause, pregnancy, family planning and, perhaps of most importance, mental health.

We are now entering the third weekend of whatever crisis has befallen WordPress in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. Unfortunately, there's not much to report, as the situation remains unchanged, if odd (why can only Opera users access WordPress?) [Ed.: Finally, some clarification. Note the comment below by "anon":
The Opera browser working query is relatively simple – IF you have enabled their "Turbo" mode, all content is loaded via the company's servers, and sent to you. A bit like how a proxy server works really, but with a few bells and whistles (image compression etc.). You can get wordpress.com and blogger/blogspot blogs to load in IE/Chrome/Firefox etc if you use a proxy server, though I'd be careful posting anything you don't want traced back to you, as free proxy servers could be run by anyone at all.]
I've asked another large WordPress-enabled blogging site in the region whether they're having problems but have not yet received a reply. The internal forum for WordPress users is also unhelpful. I filed a query with the WordPress organization itself today, now waiting for a reply (I'm not holding out hope — it's not as if Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan are high on the list of priorities, unfortunately). Kazakhtelecom has so far not responded to enquiries about the service interruption.
Meanwhile, the spam-attack on neweurasia has slowed over the course of the week, but it's nonetheless steep: as of today we've had 1231 spam comments since Monday. Doesn't sound like a denial-of-service attack to me, but our bloggers in the region are still reporting lethargic interactivity from our platform, and I wouldn't be surprised if we had another 850+ blow-up beginning tomorrow. [Ed.: This indeed did occur, and as of Monday, we are at nearly 2000 hits. Yet, once more note the comment below by "anon":
The spam issue you're encountering may well be unrelated – I get more spam than that each week, and I doubt you have lower visitor stats than me! I'd take a look at the code wp-blackcheck (a WordPress plug-in) uses, you might find it can be implemented here to stop most common forms of spamming before they start using your resources too much.]
It's worth noting that WordPress' problems follow fast on the heels of Google's flirtation with exile from Kazakhstan, which might cast some light on the situation. According to Google's official blog, the Ministry of Communication and Information issued a new order requiring all .kz domain names, including google.kz, to operate on servers located within the country. While Google was subsequently notified of a new rule stating that the order does not apply to previously registered domains, it's possible that WordPress has nonetheless fallen subject to the regulation.
Nevertheless, at least one blogger in Kazakhstan, Abay Otar, is of the belief that KazakhTelecom is actively suppressing the platform:
I think its hand of @TelecomKZ But they do not want to choose this problem. We, especially I need that they have to answer for this
Indeed, an academic colleague of mine specialized in all things "cyber" remarked to me the other day,
Smells like a three day old trout. Methinks someone doesn't like to hear the truth – or doesn't like others reporting it.
And a comrade from Uzbekistan sarcastically notes over Facebook:
awww what shame on KZ & KG internet-enemy-governments and their marionette internet providers! look at us — an armada of the happiest 28 mln Uzbeks enjoy direct and not censored access to WordPress.
I made this ongoing situation, including the Kyrgyz parliament's recent resolution to ban Ferghana.ru, the focus of today's "Our Take" editorial by our sister site Transitions Online:
How should we interpret these events? In the case of Kyrgyzstan, avoiding hard facts is by no means a new phenomenon. There is a precedence for shooting the messenger: the current proposal specifically targets the URL address http://www.fergananews.com. The agency's well-known regular address, http://www.ferghana.ru, had previously been banned in March 2010, alongside Azattyk, Centrasia, Belyi Parus, and the blog of Edil Baisalov, due to reports linking the Italian Mafia to a financial consultant with ties to the administration of then-President Kurmanbek Bakiev.
As for Kazakhstan, the country's shameful* track record on freedom of speech suggests there is more to the WordPress troubles than technical issues, or even the proprietary and regulatory arguments that were used against Google. If Kyrgyzstan's censorship methods are brazen and rather old-fashioned, Kazakhstan's may be more subtle and sophisticated.
None of this bodes well for freedom of speech in the region. Then again, freedom of speech has always been subject to Sisyphus' curse in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, as well as equally paranoid Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. What is of potential broader concern is how this reflects broader fears of the Internet's gradual fragmentation into national networks, each with their own distinct content, culture, and most of all, legal-technical architecture and taboos. The rest of the world should be on guard against what is happening in Central Asia.
* Author's Note: I didn't choose the adjective "shameful", my editor did. I think Kazakhstan is actually better on free speech than most of its neighbors. Yet, better is also not necessarily the same as good. So, I would have preferred "inconsistent". Check out IREX's 2011 Media Sustainability Index assessment for Kazakhstan here.

Volume and value of the tradenext section
We observed that herbalists displayed protected wildlife openly on the street or in the front of their shops and did not appear concerned about regulations banning sale of the species they displayed; this allowed us to accurately assess the levels of trade. We recorded at least nine species of reptile in trade for medicinal purposes (Fig. 2). The most common was the Mediterranean chameleon, followed by Bell's Dabb lizard, African rock python, spur-thighed tortoises, and desert monitor lizards (Varanus griseus; Table 1). These species were not equally abundant in the markets (χ2 = 657.1, df = 5, P < 0.001). The desert monitor lizard, Nile crocodile, Egyptian cobra (Naja haje Linnaeus, 1758), and puff adder (Bitis arietans Merrem, 1820) were each observed in smaller numbers than expected when compared to the other remaining species combined (all χ2 > 28.9, df = 1, P < 0.001), whereas the spur-thighed tortoise, Bell's Dabb lizard, and Mediterranean chameleon were all observed in higher numbers than expected (χ2 > 23.4, df = 1, P < 0.001). Only the African rock python was observed in numbers that did not differ from the expected values when compared to all other species combined (χ2 = 0.20, df = 1, P > 0.60).
The volumes of the four most common species in trade in the six cities with the largest volumes of these species show that the species are not traded in equal proportions in these cities (χ2 = 38.0, df = 15, P = 0.02). Thus, Mediterranean chameleon and African rock python were observed in smaller numbers in Casablanca than can be expected on the basis of the number of these species in other markets relative to the number of other species observed in Casablanca (χ2 = 67.5, df = 1, P < 0.001 for the Mediterranean chameleon, and χ2 = 267.6, df = 1, P < 0.001 for the African rock python). Conversely, the number of Bell's Dabb lizard in Meknes was higher than expected on the basis of the overall (across cities) proportion of this species (χ2 = 105.1, df = 1, P < 0.001).
Prices for the Moroccan species were generally low, with asking prices for spur-thighed tortoise carapace being around US$11, Mediterranean chameleons US$6–44, Bell's Dabb lizards US$13–22, and desert monitor lizards around US$55. Skins of Nile crocodiles and African rock pythons were considerably higher, with the former demanding prices of US$388–665 and the latter US$133–665. While more expensive species were less common in trade, there was no significant relationship between the mean value and the volumes observed in trade (r = -0.26, n = 6, P = 0.61). The combined the retail value of all the items observed during the 49 surveys was about US$100,000 (MAD900,000), with some 70% of this value made up of species not, or no longer, native to Morocco. The mean turnover for Mediterranean chameleons after four weeks in the eight shops monitored was 66% (range 40–100%), resulting in an annual turnover of 1,520 chameleons (range 921–2,303). The mean turnover for Bell's Dabb lizards after four weeks in the six shops monitored was 66% (range 31–100%), resulting in an annual turnover of 775 lizards (range 364–1,174).
Comparing markets
Reptiles were traded for medicinal purposes in 14 of the 20 markets we surveyed in Morocco and the trade in these markets differed in several ways (Table 1). No medicinal reptile trade was observed in the Spanish exclaves of Ceuta and Melilla. In eight markets, we observed small numbers (fewer than nine individuals) of reptiles, often comprising one or two species; in four markets, we found intermediate numbers (14–30 individuals) of three to eight species and in two markets, large numbers (> 85 individuals) of five to nine species. There was a positive association between the size of the city (in terms of human inhabitants) and the number of reptiles for sale (Pearson's r = 0.76, n = 22, P < 0.001; Fig. 3); this association remained significant after the exclusion of cities where no reptiles were observed (r = 0.69, n = 14, P = 0.006). In Casablanca and Marrakesh, the most commonly observed reptiles we observed in trade were Mediterranean chameleons, whereas Bell's Dabb lizards were equally or more common in Fez and Mekness. For cities where reptiles were offered for sale, there was a positive association between the size of a city and the number of herbalists (r = 0.54, n = 14, P = 0.05), and there was a very strong positive association between the number of herbalists and the total number of reptiles for sale (r = 0.82, n = 14, P < 0.001).
Based on our qualitative observations, the market in Casablanca clearly was oriented towards the local population, being geographically distinct from the tourist section, and only Moroccans were observed in this area. Reptiles were mostly sold in wooden shops located in a dedicated medicinal area. In Fez, the shops with reptiles for sale were in and around the general tourist area and slightly off to the side streets. The shops in Fez were more solidly built and were more frequented by tourists than in Casablanca. Marrakesh was much more geared towards tourists and the three sections where herbalists sold traditional medicine were all located in the main market. Reptiles were sold in shops, stalls, and in ground stalls. In Meknes, ground stalls were particularly common and trade was clearly geared towards the local customers. Bottles with pictures of animals were common in the ground stalls in Meknes and Marrakesh. The vendors of these ground stalls would, in the evenings, hold up live reptiles and call out to passers-by, advertising their medicinal properties and invariably drawing a substantial crowd.
While there were differences in the species richness in each survey year between these four cities (F3,11 = 5.09, P = 0.02) (Figure 4) and in the numbers of reptiles sold alive (F3,11 = 8.44, P = 0.003) or dried (F3,11 = 4.31, P = 0.03), the proportion of dried specimens did not differ significantly between cities (F3,11 = 2.24, P = 0.14). Fez and Casablanca were similar in terms of the number of species for sale (i.e., about three to four), and in the proportion of trade that comprised dried specimens, which ranged from 68–100% (average 86%) in Fez and from 69–92% (average 82%) in Casablanca. In contrast, the trade in Marrakesh and Meknes comprised more species (about four to six) and a larger proportion of live trade; dried specimens made up 63% (range 37–83%) in Marrakesh and 59% (range 35–84%) in Meknes (Fig. 4).
Species in trade and their medicinal uses
Over 95% of spur-thighed tortoises observed in trade were alive and intended to be sold as pets. The largest numbers were offered for sale as pets in Marrakesh and Casablanca, where they were often displayed in large plastic boxes in front of the shops. We recorded 57 carapaces, found in eight of the 20 cities surveyed. The highest numbers we recorded were in Marrakesh and Casablanca, both with up to 10 carapaces per survey, but generally numbers of carapaces were low.
The most commonly traded reptile was the Mediterranean chameleon, which was offered for sale in half of the markets surveyed. We recorded 720 individuals, 214 of them alive and 506 dried and stuffed. Numbers were highest in Marrakesh (74 alive, 282 dried, recorded in each survey with up to 237 per survey) and Casablanca (24 alive, 159 dried, recorded in each survey with up to 106 per survey), but the species is also frequently traded in Rabat (61 alive, none dried, recorded in all but one survey with up to 32 per survey). We recorded chameleons only once out of six surveys when we found 55 dried specimens in Meknes in April 2014. There was a clear relationship between the number of herbal shops in a city and the number of chameleons that were offered for sale (r = 0.58, n = 14, P = 0.03; Fig. 4).
Bell's Dabb lizards were traded in significant quantities in 10 cities: 428 individuals (181 live, 247 dried or stuffed), with highest numbers in Marrakesh (98 live, 100 dried) and Meknes (42 live, 30 dried). Just as with chameleons, there was a clear relationship between the number of herbal shops in a city and the number of Bell's Dabb lizards that are offered for sale (r = 0.66, n = 14, P = 0.01; Fig. 5). We were informed that burning them was helpful for your eyes and that keeping one in a new house brought good luck.
We recorded small numbers of desert monitor lizards, with one live individual in Meknes, two live individuals in Marrakesh, five stuffed in Sale, and four stuffed in Fez. One vendor had a bottle with liquid in which he claimed there were monitor lizard parts, advertised as Sahara Medicine, but we were unable to verify whether or not the species was indeed bottled. Desert monitor lizard parts were said to increase virility.
We observed Egyptian cobras, puff adders and other unidentified snakes in Marrakesh (81 live specimens) and in Meknes (14 specimens) only. We were not able to determine how the snakes were used when alive, although they may have been displayed to draw in the crowds. We saw African rock python skins in eight of the 20 cities. The largest numbers we observed were in Marrakesh (122), Fez (32), and Rabat (17). We observed 52 Nile crocodiles, either as skins (27) or as stuffed specimens (25) and we observed the highest numbers in Fez (18) and Marrakesh (22). African rock python skins have been used as relief for asthma, but it is unclear what medical uses skins or the stuffed crocodiles have.
International trade in pythons and crocodiles into Morocco
African rock pythons and Nile crocodiles are not (or no longer) native to Morocco, and must have been imported from countries to the south or southeast of Morocco. Morocco has never reported any imports of African rock pythons to the CITES Secretariat (i.e., there are no recorded imports in the CITES trade database), but several West African countries reported the export of African rock python to Morocco between 1986 and 2007 (Guinea, one live individual in 1986; Sudan, six skins in 1991; Chad, three skins in 2000, and Niger, 62 live individuals in 2002 and 806 skins in 2000–2007). If the skins observed in the markets in 2013–2014 were indeed part of these imports, then some of them must have been imported in 2007 the latest. Morocco reported the import of four live Nile crocodile for a zoo in 1999 to the CITES Secretariat, but several countries reported the export of Nile crocodile to Morocco between 1991 and 2007. If the skins and stuffed crocodiles observed in the markets in 2013–2014 were indeed part of these imports, then some of them must have been imported in 2007 at the latest.

Moving Containers
If you like the idea of having your new house but are not too keen on handling the nitty-gritty of the whole construction process, especially that of moving to a new place, then you must also be prepared to face the challenges that comes with it.
People have their own reasons for moving, it could be acquiring a new house as it has already come to financial means or an old house may have become too small as the family grows or too big as the kids move out. A great solution against the hassle of moving is to utilize moving containers that encompass the entire process of home moving from transferring all your stuff to delivering it to your next doorstep. This way, you could be at peace and confident that all your belongings are well taken care of and transferred the way you want them to be in a convenient and simple way.

Great Depression
Ithaca Journal, The (NY) - Saturday, April 4, 2009
Author: Tompkins County Public Library
The U.S. has pulled through more than one 'depression'.
Question: Is our country headed for another "Great Depression," and where can I find information about what impact financial depressions have on the country?
Answer: It's impossible to escape - talk of another depression is flooding the media through television, radio and the Internet. For a large part of our population, however, the meaning of the term "Great Depression" is unclear. Many young people are asking what life was like during the Depression and why everyone is so nervous at the prospect of another.
Economically, the Great Depression of 1929 occurred under similar conditions as those we are experiencing now; banks were failing, the stock market crashed, and there was an unbalanced distribution of wealth. Many people lost their jobs and homes as a result of the economic downturn. Adding to these issues was the impact of the Dust Bowl, a severe drought in the Midwest and central states that financially crippled farmers. Many combined households to save money and resources, while others lost everything and were forced to move into already crowded cities in search of affordable housing and jobs.
There is another side to this story, however. The Great Depression was not the first economic struggle the United States faced as an independent nation. Previous depressions occurred in 1807, 1837, 1873 and 1893. America survived every one, in part because communities united to help each other physically and emotionally. During the Great Depression, families and neighbors spent time together listening to dramatic programs and big band music on battery-powered radios, penicillin and Depression Glass were invented, and gas was only 10 cents per gallon. The government stepped up as well, providing relief to the unemployed in the form of economic stimulus programs much like the ones President Obama is planning now. Past programs led to thousands of jobs that improved the appearance and functionality of our country for decades to come. In spite of all the hardships this country faced during the Great Depression, by the 1940s, it once again lifted itself up and moved forward, and so will we.

The latest news in the Ruby and Rails community.
Good news from the Ruby Core meeting, TDD debates galore, AdequateRecord, and some surprisingly uneventful code ping pong this week.
You have disabled auto-rotation for stories. Re-enable?
You want to ship it right instead of doing it again. But what could you clean while still meeting the deadline? PullReview reviews the Ruby code you just wrote and tells you what's wrong, why, and how to fix it - from style to security. Code, Spot, Fix, and Ship!
The Ruby Core Developer meeting took place in Japan and Terence Lee was kind enough to let us know what happened. Team Matz is considering accelerating the release schedule for Ruby patch releases. So that would be things like 2.1.1, and 2.1.2 as opposed to waiting for a 2.2 release. It would allow them to tackle bugs that cause dreaded segmentation faults much faster. To achieve this, Shibata Hiroshi & Koichi Sasada will work on a CI environment in order to make the release process easier. They also discussed removing commits that are not directly relevant to a patch release (or hotfix) before a the release goes out, probably in order to avoid potential regressions in those releases. By the way, since Ruby 2.1.0 was released, the core team announced that they would not release versions with patchlevels anymore. So no more obscure versions like 1.9.3p545? Finally dear listeners, remember that feature suggestions for Ruby 2.2 are still being accepted so if you've ever wanted to give back to your favorite language, you should head over to bugs.rubylang.org right now.
RailsConf was less than two weeks ago and the good people at Confreaks already have David Heinemeier Hansson's keynote along with a handful of other talks available on their site. There's another part of that talk that was a little less talked about: the part about David's confession his inability to ever become a computer scientist. Although it was overshadowed by his knack for controversy, I think it was really interesting to hear such a prominent programmer — whatever you think of him — describe himself more as a software writer with affinities towards humanities instead of sciences.
So speaking of the TDD controversy, a number of prominent voices in the community have by now responded to his allegations that TDD for instance hinders design, is not necessary, etc. Robert Martin a.k.a Uncle Bob, was one of the first to respond with several blog posts actually. While deploring DHH's rhetoric at first, he reiterated the benefits of TDD in a first post. As DHH continued aboard his TDD hate train, it was more like a blog ping pong than a code one. That's about when it got interesting for me, right when Gary Bernhardt chimed in. On top of that yesterday, both Martin Fowler and Corey Haines joined in the merry battle of giants.
Continuing down the testing path, this weekend Jakub Arnold published a shortyetuseful post entitled, "Duplication in Tests is Sometimes Good.". I presume that you're writing tests for your application or library. And I further presume you're using a framework with before and after test hooks, like RSpec. People often use those hooks to clean up their test code, pulling out common setup and configuration. Is it possible that you can extract too much of that setup and configuration? Perhaps to the point of making your tests hard to understand? As Jakub shows, some duplication can be good. It's not always bad to repeat yourself, especially if the repetition is easily updated with a find and replace.
I think a much more important thing than dislike of TDD happened at RailsConf. I'm sad that not enough people have talked about Aaron Patterson's Keynote. He spent quite a bit of time explaining the hard work that was put into speeding up ActiveRecord for the upcoming 4.2 release of Rails. He showed multiple benchmarks of the AdequateRecord branch and how in many ways it's even faster than back in the Rails 2.3 days. So while the video for Aaron's talk wasn't available at the time of this recording, we highly recommend you watch it on Confreaks when it comes out. By the way, AdequateRecord has already been merged into rails/master on GitHub so you can already test it out if you like your edge really really bleedy.
And finally, to wrap up a TDDHHfilled episode, yesterday, Marcin Stecki published an article on the netguru blog describing some of the background for and aftermath from creating the Code Ping Pong with DHH site. In summation, the Rails 4 app was built on a whim, the source is available on GitHub, DHH didn't know about it before hand, yet he did agree to respond to a handful of entries, DHH's tweets brought several thousand eyes to the site, and ultimately Marcin was confused. As he put it, people poop on Rails all the time, but when presented with an avenue for presenting "bad code" to DHH for his thoughts, almost no one had any concrete examples. I think they got about 11 submissions ... and most of them weren't even serious. Ultimately, only three entries were presented to David. Three submissions were presented to DHH... and David's refactorings won the popular opinion vote for all three. Anyway, it is actually quite impressive to me that David volunteered his time for this, especially since he had nothing to do with its setup or concept. I appreciate that he gave his time and attention to what could've easily been seen as being silly and just ignored. So, thanks, David and Marcin!

Santa Clara County, Ca. —Today, the County of Santa Clara Board of Supervisors declared a local emergency in response to the pandemic H1N1 virus. The declaration followed a report from County Executive Jeff Smith and Health Officer Marty Fenstersheib regarding the current state of pandemic H1N1 and the threat to the residents of Santa Clara County. The Board's action also included allocating $500,000 in funds for flu emergency response efforts.
Human cases of pandemic H1N1 have been increasing in the United States, including more than 2,000 reported cases in California and 155 reported hospitalized cases in Santa Clara County between April 3 and Sept. 15, and 167 reported deaths in California and 8 reported deaths in Santa Clara County during the same five month period. Studies reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) predict that H1N1 transmission is likely to persist and increase in the Northern Hemisphere during fall and winter.
"We continue to take proactive measures to prepare and respond in the face of this increasing health threat by declaring a local emergency in response to the threat of H1N1" said Supervisor Liz Kniss, President of the County of Santa Clara Board of Supervisors. "Decisive action is called for with the expected increase of flu transmission in Fall and Winter.
Government Code Section 8630 authorizes the Board of Supervisors to proclaim a local emergency when the County is threatened or likely to be threatened by conditions of disaster or extreme peril to the safety of persons and property within the County that are likely to be beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment and facilities o the County. The County previously declared a local emergency following the identification of cases of the pandemic flu virus throughout the country earlier this year, proclaiming a local emergency on April 29, 2009, which the Board ratified on May 5, 2009, and later terminated on May 19, 2009.
"We have closely monitored the local and national status of H1N1, and believe it is imperative that we take the necessary steps to protect our community. The Board's declaration of emergency will enable us to put needed resources in place to respond to what is likely to be a flu season that will impact our entire community," said County Executive Jeff Smith.
Local surveillance indicates that the H1N1 virus continues to spread through the community and has begun to increase in the last few weeks. Surveillance has shown an increased number of people with influenza-like illness coming into Emergency Departments. Some schools are experiencing increased absenteeism. The Public Health Department is preparing for the distribution of the pandemic H1N1 vaccine, as well as antivirals medications, to try to limit the spread of the virus.
"Because the pandemic H1N1 virus is a new flu strain, people have little or no immunity and it has spread world-wide," Fentersheib said. "Everyone should practice basic preventative measures to help limit the spread of the flu including hand washing, and staying home when sick, and get your seasonal flu vaccine now."
Because so many people may become sick with this new flu virus, each individual and family should prepare and have the supplies they may need. During the spring it became apparent pandemic influenza can have an affect on everyday life. Schools may have to be closed again, business may experience high absenteeism, and there may be spot shortages of supplies. Have a plan for yourself and your family in case any of these things happen.
The following common-sense actions can help to limit the spread of germs and the pandemic H1N1 virus:
It will be important to stay informed. Information about prevention and control actions will be shared in a number of ways. Visit the Public Health Department's web site at www.sccphd.org and by the CDC at www.pandemicflu.gov for the latest. On the Public Health Department site you can now subscribe to the e-newsletter which will send new information about H1N1 and other Public Health Department activities as it becomes available.

Working on a large legacy code-base is challenging(painful?) and is inevitable.
You may need to keep on refactoring the legacy code to fix bugs, to add new features or enhancements.
For these changes normally we would have a defect or new requirement created in QualityCenter/VersionOne or whatever the tool you use for tracking the tasks. We burn the hours spent on these tasks against the respective defect-id or requirement-id.
Then assume you identify some piece of code which is written in horrible way and thought of refactoring that logic. Generally we will create a defect-id explaining the need for refactoring and refactor, test, commit, done.
In some organizations, as per process every commit to the source code should be associated with some defect-id or requirement-id.
What if your manager said
As per our process, every commit should be associated with a defect/requirement.I guess you can understand what that manager's reply implies :-).
We can create a defect for code refactoring that you are suggesting. Every code change should go through all the QA/UAT cycles. But the business will prioritize the defects/features for the next release as per release plan. So I can't assure you whether this will go in next release or not.
But I felt like from the manager's perspective it is valid point. His target might be to deliver the planned bug-fixes/features for the next release.
So guys, I am curious to know how is code refactoring is happening in your organizations?

While key Texans offensive cogs Arian Foster and Andre Johnson didn't suit up for Saturday night's preseason game at NRG STadium, Falcons coach Mike Smith started his rehabbing star receiver, Julio Jones. He caught 2 passes for 20 yards and didn't seem to be showing any ill effects from the foot surgery that limited his 2013 season to just five games.
"I thought Julio looked good," said Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan. "It's good to have him back. Obviously he's a dynamic player for our offense, a game-changer."
Jones' early pace last season had him on pace to haul in 130 catches.

hi fellow constructors!
just a minor thing, im not sure if i have seen anyone post something like this, maybe there is, but anyway here goes:
i was just fooling around with quazi's brilliant blob_test effect and tried to make it as a layer effect and it seems to work pretty nicely to get a cartoonish look and it also makes terrain look very smooth, if you dont want to use traditional blocky tile based terrain. for more detailed environment, you can simply use overlay sprites/graphics on a different layer. you also get a nice merge and outline effect. if you want a separate outlined object,just put it on another layer.
you need the blob_test effect if you want to open the .cap i presume.
here's also the exe from the .cap if you dont have the effect or just want a quick look.
just a little note:
if you encounter stuttering in the .cap/exe, its probably due to me being lazy and using just the basic per pixel collisions, i tried making a custom collisions using sprites with bounding box collisions and it seemed to run smooth. anyone correct me if im mistaken.

Atheists Are Parasites!Posted by PsiCop in Fuzzy Thinking, General, Metaphysics, Religion
Were you aware that atheism is a parasitic infection in humanity? No? I guess you're just not up on the latest developments in religionism. There's even a blog devoted to exposing this malady, called A Field Guide to Atheist Parasites, whose first entry explains this staggering revelation, a diagnosis delivered by Rabbi Daniel Lapin on the Glenn Beck show (WebCite cached article):
Here is a transcript of Rabbi Lapin's words of divine wisdom:
"I do believe that atheists are parasites in the sense that they are benefiting from everything that religious culture has built in America, but they're doing nothing to add energy into the system."
Here's video (courtesy of Media Matters) of Lapin jabbering on like a crazed, hyperreligious, sanctimonious moron:
How the Rabbi can claim that there are "benefits" to "the religious culture" is beyond me. "Religious culture" has given us a legacy of intolerance and hatred. Among the more obvious examples of this that I could cite — and which ought to be well-known to Rabbi Lapin — is anti-Semitism, which Christianity fostered and promoted for many centuries, and which is still common within Islam. Are these "benefits" for which atheists must express their thanks, by converting en masse!? Seriously, Rabbi?
Moreover, he claims atheists don't "add energy to the system" … is he suggesting that atheists never donate to charity? Or volunteer in their communities? Or serve in potentially-dangerous capacities … for instance as police officers, firefighters, soldiers or sailors? Really? He may subscribe to the notion that there are no atheists in foxholes, but in fact, there are plenty of them, and he'd know it if only he bothered to look for them.
I'm a little astounded that the Rabbi would dare talk about how horrible atheists are, given his role in the Jack Abramoff scandal. You see, in order to help ingratiate Abramoff among the Religious Right in Washington, Lapin and his group, Toward Tradition, gave Abramoff a phony award (cached). In return, Abramoff convinced some of his clients to swing a contract in excess of $1 million to a company Lapin ran (cached).
Wow. What a bastion of sound ethical behavior! Why, that only proves that religion makes people behave morally. Doesn't it?
What, it doesn't? … Woops!
Anyway, before Lapin goes around accusing atheists of being "parasites," he'd best start owning up to his own parasitic ways (e.g. using his personal connection to the crooked Jack Abramoff to get business). What a fucking joke this guy is.
Hat tip: Friendly Atheist.

WalkBoston's initial wayfinding project in 2014 focused on Codman Square, which is a hub of commercial and civic activity in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston. Working with local community organizations and DPH's statewide Mass in Motion program, WalkBoston installed 90 wayfinding signs along the arterial streets that lead to and from the Square.
Building off this initial effort, in 2016 WalkBoston placed approximately 300 additional wayfinding signs in five communities (Springfield, Turners Falls, Fall River, Northampton, Belchertown) in partnership with DPH's "1422" program, which is funded by the US Centers for Disease Control to promote utilitarian walking. WalkBoston also installed three pavement decals near its office in downtown Boston to test the durability of sidewalk marking materials. This test was inspired by the Fall River wayfinding project, which included the installation of several pavement decals in locations where there were no street poles to mount signs.
Fill out the below information and a free PDF copy of the report "Implementing Pedestrian Wayfinding Systems in Massachusetts" will be emailed to you! We'll also keep you in the loop with our wayfinding efforts.
To share questions and comments, please contact Adi Nochur, Project Manager, at 617-367-9255 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

- How do I obtain a work permit?Work permits must be applied for and obtained from the Department of Immigration Nassau, Hawkins Hill, PO Box N-831, Nassau, The Bahamas, Tel: 1 242 322 7531 Fax: 1 242 326 0977
- Can I apply for a work permit while I am in The Bahamas?No; work permit applications from persons already in The Bahamas would not be entertained. Applications must be made while you are outside The Bahamas.
- What are the criteria for a non-Bahamian person to obtain employment in The Bahamas?The Bahamas is a small developing country and Government regulations ensure that employment may be only offered to non – Bahamians in posts for which there are no suitably qualified Bahamians. In order to obtain employment as a non – Bahamian, the following criteria must be met:
An employer who has a vacant post is required to advertise the post locally. If he is unsuccessful in filling the post locally, he may apply to the Immigration Board for permission to recruit outside the country. He must also obtain a certificate from the Department of Labour indicating that a Bahamian is not available to fill the position.
When the prospective expatriate employee has been contacted, the employer must apply for a permit which is issued by the Immigration Board. An application will not be entertained if the prospective employee was already in The Bahamas, having entered as a visitor. Permits are issued for specific posts and the renewal of a permit is not automatic. Each application would be considered on its merits.
Employers may apply for permits for longer periods than one year in respect of certain key personnel on contract. Such contracts should indicate that their renewal would be subject to obtaining the applicant's replacement within a stipulated period.
Fees of varying amounts up to $15,000 (for senior managerial and professional people) are charged if a permit is granted. The same amount is payable upon renewal of the permit annually. If approval is granted the employer will be asked to enter into a bond equivalent to the cost of repatriating the employee.
- I have specialist skills. Which Ministry or Department should I contact to inquire about the availability of jobs in The Bahamas?Qualified persons interested in employment with the Government of The Bahamas should write to respective Ministry / Department as follows:
Nurses, Doctors and Kindred Services – Ministry of Health,

- What is the exchange rate of the Bahamian dollar?The American dollar and the Bahamian dollar operate a system of parity where $1(USD) = $1(BSD)
- What currency can I use in The Bahamas?The Bahamian dollar is the legal tender in The Bahamas; the American dollar is the most accessible currency to obtain from a bank or a bureau de change outside of The Bahamas and is widely accepted throughout The Bahamas Islands as both the Bahamian dollar and American dollar are used interchangeably.
- Can I leave The Bahamas with Bahamian money?The currency of The Bahamas is restricted; therefore it is illegal to depart the country with more than $200 Bahamian dollars in your possession.
- Can I use traveler's cheques in The Bahamas?Internationally known traveler's cheques in dollar denominations may be cashed almost anywhere.
- What hours can I do my banking?Banks in New Providence and Grand Bahama are open from 09:30a.m to 3:00p.m Monday to Thursday and on Fridays until 5:00 p.m; however, on the Family Islands service is often very limited.

- Can a non-Bahamian travel to The Bahamas on an expired Passport?No; passports must have a minimum of six months validity from the date of departure from The Bahamas. In addition, airlines would not let passengers board with expired travel documents.
|If I only have four months left on my passport, can I still travel to the Bahamas?
Only British and American passport holders may travel to The Bahamas with less than six months left on their passports.
- Is it acceptable for a child to be on the mother's or Father's passport to gain entry into the Bahamas?Yes, this is acceptable. Minors up to the age of sixteen years old may travel to the Bahamas on their parent's passports.
- What happens if my name appears differently on the passport as it appears on the ticket?If the name change were due to Marriage, you would need your original/certified copy of the marriage certificate with other proof of citizenship (birth certificate, voter's card, etc.) If the name change is due to adoption or legal name change (deed poll) you would need a certified copy of the legal document showing the name change with other proof of citizenship. If you do not have a legal document, you would need a parent or other relative that knew of the name change to have an affidavit sworn to that fact.
- At what age can children travel unaccompanied to The Bahamas and what documentation should they have to gain entry?An authorization letter from their parents stating consent has been given for children of sixteen years and under.
- I am traveling with a child who is not my own. Do I need a letter of permission from the child's parent?While this is not a requirement for The Bahamas it is advisable to have written consent from the child's parent (s). If the non-custodial parent is travelling with children it is also suggested that a letter of authorization for the children to travel be obtained.
- Are pets allowed to travel to The Bahamas without a period of quarantine?A valid import permit ($10) is required to import any animal into The Bahamas. Unless otherwise indicated, a permit can only be used once and only during the period specified on the permit. Dogs and cats imported from countries with rabies must be six months and older.

- If an airline takes a passenger to The Bahamas who holds an expired passport, will The Bahamas government levy a fine on the airline?This is ordinarily what happens in this situation.

- What are my options for obtaining a visa in the absence of a Bahamas Consulate or embassy in my country of residence?In the first instance, you should approach the British Consulate or Embassy in your country of residence to obtain a Bahamas visa.

These are located in Atlanta, New York, Washington, Miami, Beijing, Atlanta, Port au Prince, London and Ottawa, Canada. You should contact the Consulates in writing to ascertain the documentation required and procedure involved.
