Those who felt guilt, anger or sadness immediately after the procedure report that these feelings declined dramatically.
January 14, 2020 • By Alicia Green
In one of the largest studies of its kind, a majority of women expressed that they felt relieved and without regrets after having a pregnancy terminated, according to findings published in the journal Social Science & Medicine. These new findings debunk decades-long claims that women would experience negative emotions over time, reports CNN.
For their inquiry, investigators surveyed nearly 1,000 women in 21 states and followed up with them 11 times during a five-year period. Scientists first surveyed the women a week after their abortion and every six months thereafter.
Five years after having an abortion, 84% of women said they felt positive about their decision even if they didn't feel that way at the time compared with 6% who expressed mostly negative feelings. A little over half of the women said deciding to terminate their pregnancy was "very difficult," 27% expressed that it was "somewhat difficult" and 46% said the choice to get an abortion wasn't difficult at all.
Nearly 70% said they worried about being stigmatized if people knew about their abortion. These women and those who struggled with the decision experienced higher rates of guilt, anger or sadness immediately following the procedure. However, these feelings declined significantly after just one year.
At the end of the survey, women in all the groups involved in the study said they felt relieved about their abortion, the emotion they used to describe how they felt each time they were asked about the choice to end their pregnancy.
"All the claims that negative emotions will emerge over time, a myth that has persisted for decades without any evidence to substantiate these claims, it's clear it's just not true," said Corinne Rocca, PhD, MPH, an epidemiologist and assistant professor in the department of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive sciences at the University of Southern California, San Francisco and an author of the study.
Rocca expressed surprise that despite how women felt prior to having an abortion their relief continued even five years after while the other feelings diminished.

Q: Add buttons under a tableview I'm trying to create a view programmatically. The result that i want to have is a scroll view with a tableview inside. And under this table view i want to add some buttons
I don't know exactly how to do that i tried this but it doesn't work :
- (void)loadView {
    [super loadView];

    tableView = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:[[self view] bounds] style:UITableViewStyleGrouped];
    [tableView setDelegate:self];
    [tableView setDataSource:self];

    scrollView = [[UIScrollView alloc] initWithFrame:[[self view] bounds]];
    //[scrollView setBackgroundColor:[UIColor blackColor]];
    [scrollView setBouncesZoom:YES];

    deconnectButton = [[UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect] retain];
    [deconnectButton setTitle:@"Deconect" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    [deconnectButton setTitleColor:[UIColor orangeColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

    //[deconnectButton addTarget:self action:action forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
    deconnectButton.frame = tableView.frame;
    NSLog(@"Tableview frame : %@", NSStringFromCGRect(tableView.frame));

    [scrollView addSubview:deconnectButton];

    [scrollView addSubview:tableView];

    [[self view] addSubview:scrollView];

}

What am i missing or doing wrong?

A: One thing to note is that UITableView is a subclass of UIScrollView so you will likely have to manage the size of the UITableView differently than if you were just letting it do the scrolling.
Your code appears to be setting the tableView and the deconnectButton to the same size and that size is the size of the scrollView superview. I would expect this to have the affect of the tableView obscuring the button.
Based on what you describe it sounds like you should calculate what the size of the table needs to be based on its contents and then set its frame accordingly. Then set the frame of the button to be just below that. Also, you will need to set the size of the scrollView using its contentSize property. The problem in this scenario is that you will have to always be keeping the size of the scrollView and the position of the button in sync with the size of the tableView.
You might investigate making the last row in the table the button and eliminating the outer scroll view. In the end that may result in less code.

A: Actually i found the solution. the tableview has a property named tableFooterView. All you have to do is to :
-Create a UIView
-Add a button to this view
-Finaly set it on the tableFooterView
Here is the code :
tableView = [[UITableView alloc] initWithFrame:[[self view] bounds] style:UITableViewStyleGrouped];
[tableView setDelegate:self];
[tableView setDataSource:self];

// create a UIButton (Deconnect button)
UIButton *btnDeco = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
btnDeco.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, 280, 40);
[btnDeco setTitle:@"Déconnecter" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
btnDeco.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
[btnDeco setTitleColor:[UIColor orangeColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[btnDeco addTarget:self action:@selector(deconnect:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

// create a UIButton (Change pseudo button)
UIButton *btnChange = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeRoundedRect];
btnChange.frame = CGRectMake(0, 50, 280, 40);
[btnChange setTitle:@"Changer Pseudo" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
btnChange.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
[btnChange setTitleColor:[UIColor orangeColor] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[btnChange addTarget:self action:@selector(changePseudo:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];

//create a footer view on the bottom of the tabeview
UIView *footerView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(20, 0, 280, 100)];
[footerView addSubview:btnDeco];
[footerView addSubview:btnChange];

tableView.tableFooterView = footerView;
[footerView release];

[[self view] addSubview:tableView];

A: If you have the UITableView inside a UINavigationController you can set toolbar items at the bottom on your UITableViewController / UIViewController.
UIBarButtonItem *barButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemAction target:nil action:nil];
self.toolbarItems = @[barButton];

Please remember to show the Toolbar as well like this:
self.navigationController.toolbarHidden = NO;

//or animated
[self.navigationController setToolbarHidden:NO animated:YES];

That is probably cleaner than hacking a view below your table.

I was so excited for the pumpkin patch this year and once we arrived was instantly broken hearted.
For the past few years we were in Idaho going to real farms picking the pumpkins straight from the vines for the best deal, and then this year we were in a mall parking lot surrounded by chain-linked fences with scattered pumpkins way overly-priced... so LAME!
Seriously, I was so bummed, especially when we went to this Martha Stewart pumpkin patch last year, I go for the experience!! So we left empty-handed and are hopefully going to try to make it to a better one this week, but until then I decided to post the few pictures we took.
Yeah, we make the trek to Live Oak just because it is such a good experience and a real pumpkin patch. this year they doubled the size of the corn maze, we're going back next weekend just to go thru the maze!! I can't wait!
@Emily: That is good to know! More the reason for us to make the trip out there... I just hope that Landon has some open days before Halloween hits!!
Aw, you guys are so cute! Hopefully you'll have better luck next go around!
The one in Redlands is the best!! (I don't know it's name... but calling it the Martha Stewart pumpkin patch works!) We are making the long trek this Sunday.
I can imagine your disappointment. If you would like, maybe one year you can grow your own pumpkin in a pot.

Our mission is to provide Hope, Health, and Healing for Generations.
Children's Hope Alliance is a 501c3 nonprofit organization with a long history of child advocacy and welfare dating back over 125 years. Last year, Children's Hope Alliance helped more than 2,200 children and families across North Carolina. All of the programs and services we provide create hope for hurting children and families in three ways: healing the hurt, providing a safe home, and encouraging a healthy start.
In 1883, two Presbyterian women in Charlotte, North Carolina founded the Presbyterian Orphans Home, now called Barium Springs. As needs grew and space did not, the Presbyterian Synod purchased acreage for the Home in Barium Springs, N.C. The land they purchased was the site of the legendary, healing "Barium Springs." After purchase of the land, Presbyterian Children's Home moved to Barium Springs in 1891.
In 1914, almost 100 miles away in the small mountain community of Banner Elk, N.C. the Presbyterian minister, Edgar Tufts was working diligently with his local church to establish a home for orphans in the rugged mountain areas, and Grandfather Home for Children was born.
Both of these historic agencies functioned primarily as orphanages until the mid-1900's. Children coming to these homes were mostly orphans who would stay for long periods of time. Many came as infants and stayed until graduation from high school or college. Both homes were self-sustaining farms where the children learned trade skills and assisted with daily chores.
In the 1950's, needs for an orphanage decreased, partially due to peacetime and advances in medical technology. Instead, children needing care had one or both parents still living; but suffered from abuse and neglect. Not only did these children need a place of refuge but they also required treatment and therapy. Services expanded after 1970's to focus mainly on the needs of children were classified as "troubled" or abused. Between the 1970's and early 2000's both Barium Springs and Grandfather Home for Children experienced expansion of services to better meet the needs of children at the time. These expansions included foster care and adoptions services, educational services and therapeutic services for children who had suffered complex trauma.
In April of 2014, the two organizations merged in an effort to have a greater impact in helping children and families across the region. The name chosen for the newly formed, merged organization was Children's Hope Alliance. This name allows everyone to understand our deeply rooted mission, to provide hope and healing for hurting children and families. The future of Children's Hope Alliance is bright, our stability lies in our deeply-rooted mission, and we are focused on attending to the special needs of each generation.

Although this is a good list, I would say it is not complete. I could not find any indication on that App Service Environment was not supported on this page. I only found that out on the App Service Environment page.
If you have any other roadblocks with using ARM for your Azure deployment comment on this article so we all know what to expect in our deployments.
Many times in troubleshooting SQL Server connectivity issues, especially in Azure with all the ILB requirements I use the following tools to help troubleshoot. I'll keep this article up to date as I find and use other tools. In addition to this article, I have found another resource which is pretty decent.
The first tool is a simple test to verify whether the SQL Cluster IP is listening on the port I think it should be listening on. In this case, the SQL Cluster IP address is 10.0.0.201 and it is using the default instance which is port 1433.
Here is the command which will help you quickly identify whether the active node is listening on that port. In our case below everything looks normal.
C:\Users\dave.SIOS>netstat -na | find "1433"
Once I can be sure SQL is listening to the proper port I use PSPING to try to connect to the port remotely.
PSPing is part of the PSTools package available from Microsoft. I usually download the tool and put PSPing directly in my System32 folder so I can use it whenever I want without having to change directories.
Connecting to 10.0.0.102:1433 (warmup): This operation returned because the time out period expired.
If PSPing connects yet your application is having a problem connecting you may need to dig a bit deeper. I have seen some application like Great Plains also want to make a connection to port 445. If your application can't connect but PSPing connects fine to 1433 then you may need to do a network trace and see what other ports your application is trying to connect to and then add load balancing rules for those ports as well.
If you are using a named instances, not only do you need to make sure you lock down your TCP service to use a static port, but you also need to make sure you add a rule to your load balancer to redirect UDP 1434 for the SQL Browser Service, otherwise you won't be able to connect to your named instance.
Opening up TCP ports 1433 and 59999 should cover all the manual steps required, but when troubleshooting connection issues I generally turn the Windows Firewall off to eliminate the firewall as a possible cause of the problem. Don't forget, Azure also has a firewall called Network Security Groups. If anyone changed that from the default that could be blocking traffic as well.
Try pinging the SQL cluster name. It should resolve to the SQL Server cluster iP address, but I have seen on more than a few occasions the DNS A-record associated with the SQL Cluster network name mysteriously disappear from DNS. If that is the case go ahead and read-ad the SQL Custer name and IP address as an A record in DNS.
In SQL Configuration Manager you should see the SQL Cluster IP Address listed and port 1433. If by chance you installed a Named Instace you of course will need to go in here and lock the port to a specific port and make your load balancing rules reflect that port. Because of the Azure ILB limitation of only on ILB per AG, I really don't see an valid reason to use a named instance. Make it easier on yourself and just use the default instance of SQL. (Update: as of Oct 2016 you CAN have multiple IP addresses per ILB, so you CAN have multiple instances of SQL installed in the cluster.
I'll be updating this article as I continue to learn about new tips, tricks, tools and common problems I encounter in the field as I support customers trying to get started with clusters in Azure.
In an earlier post I went into some great detail about how to configure the Azure ILB in ARM for SQL Server AlwaysOn FCI or AG resources. The directions in that article were written prior to the GA of Azure PowerShell 1.0. With the availability of Azure PowerShell 1.0 the main script that creates the ILB needs to be slightly different. The rest of the article is still accurate, however if you are using Azure PowerShell 1.0 or later the script to create the ILB described in that article should be as follows.
$FrontEndConfigurationName = 'FEEAST' #You can provide any name to this parameter.
$BackendConfiguratioName = 'BEEAST' #You can provide any name to this parameter.
Now that the ILB is created, we should see it in the Azure Portal if we list all the objects in our Resource Group as shown below.
The rest of the configuration I'm sure can also be done through PowerShell, but I'm going to use the GUI in my example. If you want to use PowerShell you could probably piece together the script by looking at the article Get started configuring internal load balancer using Azure Resource Manager but honestly that article gives me a headache. I'll figure it out some day and try to document it in a user friendly format, but for now I think the GUI is fine for the next steps.
Follow along with the screen shots below. If you get lost, follow the navigation hints at the top of the Azure Portal to figure out where we are.
Click Backend Pool setting tab and selects the backend pool to update the Availability Set and Virtual Machines. Save your changes.
Configure Load Balancer's Probe by clicking Add on the Probe tab. Give the probe a name and configure it to use TCP Port 59999. I have left the probe interval and the unhealthy threshold set to the default settings, which means it will take 10 seconds before the ILB removes the passive node from the list of active nodes after a failover, meaning your clients may take up to 10 seconds to be redirected to the new active node. Be sure to save your changes.
Navigate to the Load Balancing Rule Tab and add a new rule. Give the rule a sensible name (SQL1433 or something) and choose TCP protocol port 1433 (assuming you are using the default instance of SQL Server). Choose 1433 for the Backend port as well. For the Backend Pool we will choose the Backend Pool we created earlier (BE) and for the Probe we will also choose the Probe we created earlier. We do not want to enable Session persistence but we do want to enable Floating IP (Direct Server Return). I have left the idle timeout set to the default setting, but you might want to consider increasing that to the maximum value as I have seen some applications such as SAP log error messages each time the connection is dropped and needs to be re-established.
At this point the ILB is configured and there is only one final step that needs to take place. We need to update the SQL IP Cluster Resource just the exact same way we had to in the Classic deployment model. To do that you will need to run the following PowerShell script on just one of the cluster nodes. And make note,SubnetMask="255.255.255.255" is not a mistake, use the 32 bit mask regardless of what your actual subnet mask is.
$ClusterNetworkName = "Cluster Network 1"
$IPResourceName = "SQL IP Address 1 (SQLCluster1)"
# If you are using Windows 2012 or higher, use the Get-Cluster Resource command. If you are using Windows 2008 R2, use the cluster res command which is commented out.
I have just one final note. In my initial test I still was not able to connect to the SQL Resource name even after I completed all of the above steps. After banging my head against the wall for a few hours I discovered that for some reason the SQL Cluster Name Resource was not registered in DNS. I'm not sure how that happened or whether it will happen consistently, but if you are having trouble connecting I would definitely check DNS and add the SQL cluster name and IP address as a new A record if it is not already in there.
And of course don't forget the good ole Windows Firewall. You will have to make exceptions for 1433 and 59999 or just turn it off until you get everything configured properly like I did. You probably want to leverage Azure Network Security Groups anyway instead of the local Windows Firewall for a more unified experience across all your Azure resources.

When I renamed my blog last month, and refreshed my banner photo with a shapeshifting theme, I had no above ground awareness of what was coming next. "Mysteries of the Hollow Bone" has been swirling around me as a name, a theme, a vital truth to the message and method of my soul's contribution to this "21st century world". And truth be told, these stories and energies that are clamoring for voice come from a much more ancient time and place, the origins of our unfolding spiraling Universe and the birth of planet Earth…. if you will grant me that. I am a vessel that holds the Love of Divine Creation. The more I say it, the more I feel it.
In 2008, the Grandmothers and Grandfathers of Kweq' Smánit (our local volcano) as called by the Nooksack language and peoples who roamed these lands, explained to me that my "job" was as a vessel, an oracle for the Spirits of the Land where I was now living in the North Cascades. I admit that unsettled me a bit. It sounded like a monument, a sacred trust, that a human person with ego must honor, understand and embrace with humility and surrender, acting truly as a Hollow Bone, without personal agenda clouding the process or the outcome. Honestly it made me cry. I knew I was home. And this was my true calling. I have felt the Spirits of place since I was born. I have expressed their stories in my daily life without realizing my action. I did know that I could feel the Love of the Eagle in flight, the crashing and smoothing of Ocean waves, the leaves falling in Autumn, preparing Tree roots for the dreaming Winter ahead. And now as I know my self and my role on Earth more fully, I am with intention sharing, expressing and celebrating the deep voices of Ancestral Earth.
Since then seven and one-half years have past. The journey between now and then has been an initiation of sorts. Forgetting, remembering, experiencing my voice in many mediums. I had been a hands on healer with sound for many years previous, and knew moving into a new way of channeling Source would help me become more evolved as a vessel for the Spirit World. I write, I sing, I paint, I sculpt, I drum, I flute, I talk to the Spirits of the Trees, the Animals, Elements, Mountains. I make ceremonies of honor and healing and celebration. I have expanded my strengths as a vessel, further cleansing the Hollow Bone as my Art is a deeply intuitive expression of my Soul's wisdom and purpose.
I live upon the land where the Nooksack Indian Tribes lived and thrived for several thousand years. They were fishers, gatherers of Fern, root and berry, and hunters. The Mountains, the Rivers, the Forests and the Prairies were home. I am hearing these voices of the enduring elements of the region where I live. I am being called to speak on behalf of the Nature Spirits in my locale. They are speaking of freedom and preservation, honor, dignity, the right to thrive for all. They speak of Love, community and co-creation. The stories are of balance, and the natural cycles of creation, growth, receiving the gifts of harvest, preparing for the next generations, ultimately death, and rebirth.
I feel the Land asking for people who can hear and feel and honor the stories to come forward and share what they know and experience. This Earth wants us to act in harmony with each other and all of the beings who live here. She wants us to honor our places with the names that honor life and the deep connection with all beings and Herself.
I will continue to honor this place, and speak the images, words and feelings as they are communicated to me. I will learn and grow and thrive with the Love of the Spirits of the Land. It is my desire that we all prosper from the Love of this Earth community.

Independence Day Special: Meet Nirmala Maipat Koge An ASHA Worker Who Has Fought Against All Odds To Improve Health Services In Amravati
In conversation with ASHA worker of Maharashtra's Amravati district, who helped improve public health in the district

Meet ASHA worker from Maharashtra's Amravati district - Nirmala Maipat Koge who helped decrease infant and maternal mortality rate by encouraging institutional deliveries instead of deliveries at home
New Delhi: In the last five years, as many as 95 per cent of births in Maharashtra took place in a health facility, and only 5 per cent at home, the fifth round of the National Family Health Survey (2019-20) revealed. Not just that, the percentage of births in health facilities, mostly public facilities, in Maharashtra was seven per cent higher than the national rate of 88.6 per cent. In the last five years, the percentage of births in a health facility in the state has also increased by 5 per cent, from 90 per cent in 2015-16 to 95 per cent in 2019-20.
The credit for this success mostly goes to Accredited Social Health Activists — or ASHA workers of the state, who are female community health volunteers engaged under the National Health Mission (NHM). These volunteers are trained to aid people in accessing the benefits of the government's various healthcare schemes and are tasked with a range of important responsibilities like facilitating immunisation to mothers, young children, helping mothers and family go for institutional childbirth instead of home deliveries, to reduce the risk of maternal and infant mortality. The ASHA workers also help monitor children with malnutrition and create awareness about family planning.

As a part of the Independence Day special, Team Banega Swasth India spoke with one of the ASHA workers from the state to understand their crucial role in this success and the challenges faced by them in this road.
Explaining the work ASHA workers do, Nirmala Manipat Koge, an ASHA worker from Amravati Zilla said,
Over the last few years, my day revolves around providing basic healthcare facilities to the people of my district. I help save lives in whatever way I can. A job of ASHA worker is to provide basic health care at the doorsteps of people. We are neither doctors nor nurses, but we have been given training to bridge the health care gap in places. From providing information on basic hygiene, why hand washing is important, when it should be done, to motivating expecting women and their families to go for institutional birth, giving them monthly, weekly check-ups they need and providing medicines to them along with checking up on the children and their health, we do it all.

Today, Nirmala Manipat Koge in her district is known as 'Madam Ji', who can be trusted with the healthcare related issues and is famous among expecting mothers, they call her for any small and big issues related to the pregnancy. Highlighting the kind of challenges, she faces on a day-to-day basis, Nirmala recalled one of the incidences, she said,
There was one delivery for which I was called, when I went for that, I saw, the woman's water had broken, she was lying unconscious on the floor. I knew, I immediately had to take her to the hospital. I called the ambulance and she was taken to the facility. There, because the delivery was complicated, she was referred to a bigger hospital, which was away from the district and doctors had said, she will have to go for a C-section. That time, the family didn't agree and decided to take her back home. But I was persistent, I knew, there could be bigger issues both with the mother and the baby. I got the Sarpanch, Police of the village involved and took the woman to the hospital, where she delivered her baby boy perfectly. So, it is just not an easy job, on a day-to-day basis, we have to fight social stigmas, convince families and educate them on very basic things.

In 2020, when COVID-19 pandemic struck in India, Nirmala Manipat Koge's fight expanded. Not thinking about her life once, Nirmala decided to go out in the open and help her village people once again by providing them with basic information on health and hygiene, how they should take care of themselves and stay away from the virus. Explaining her work during the pandemic, she said,
I used to go to everyone's house to see if they are doing fine and not exhibiting any signs of the virus. I used to tell them how they can keep the virus at bay by following few basic rules like hand washing, masking and avoiding social gatherings. When COVID-19 vaccination came, it came along with lot myths. People were afraid to get vaccinated, they thought, they will die if they take the vaccine. I went to each and every household in my district, convinced them day and night to get vaccinated and help save the community. With the help of village Sarpanch, we also launched a vaccination scheme, which stated, no work will be given to people without vaccination. And with our efforts, we were able to get the many people vaccinated for COVID during that time. In one day, I was able to get 211 people vaccinated from my district.
Nirmala Manipat Koge is a proud ASHA worker, she says this is her identity, which makes her feel very good, even her family is proud of her. She signs off by saying,
It feels good to be recognised with this label (ASHA). It might be a small job in people's eye, but for me this is my duty and it is a very big thing. I am able to save lives, I am able to help women deliver healthy babies, I am able to take care of children of my village, I am able to help them lead a healthy life and make their future healthy, all this is a very big deal.
Today, ASHA workers like Nirmala Manipat Koge are recognised on an international stage. World Health Organisation has tagged the ASHA workers of India as 'Global Health Leaders' for their crucial role in connecting the community to the government's health programmes, particularly in rural areas, and their efforts in the coronavirus pandemic in the country.
About ASHA Workers
ASHA (which means hope in Hindi) is an acronym for Accredited Social Health Activist. ASHAs are the grassroot health workers assisting the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) in delivering primary healthcare, particularly for women and children, in both rural and urban areas since 2005. There are over 10 lakh ASHA workers in the country. In May 2022, the World Health Organisation's Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus honoured ASHA workers for their crucial role in linking the community with the health system, to ensure those living in rural poverty can access primary health care services, as shown throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. India's ASHAs are among the six recipients of the WHO Director-General's Global Health Leaders Award. The award ceremony was part of the live-streamed high-level opening session of the 75th World Health Assembly.
NDTV – Dettol have been working towards a clean and healthy India since 2014 via the Banega Swachh India initiative, which is helmed by Campaign Ambassador Amitabh Bachchan. The campaign aims to highlight the inter-dependency of humans and the environment, and of humans on one another with the focus on One Health, One Planet, One Future – Leaving No One Behind. It stresses on the need to take care of, and consider, everyone's health in India – especially vulnerable communities – the LGBTQ population, indigenous people, India's different tribes, ethnic and linguistic minorities, people with disabilities, migrants, geographically remote populations, gender and sexual minorities. In wake of the current COVID-19 pandemic, the need for WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene) is reaffirmed as handwashing is one of the ways to prevent Coronavirus infection and other diseases. The campaign will continue to raise awareness on the same along with focussing on the importance of nutrition and healthcare for women and children, fight malnutrition, mental wellbeing, self care, science and health, adolescent health & gender awareness. Along with the health of people, the campaign has realised the need to also take care of the health of the eco-system. Our environment is fragile due to human activity, which is not only over-exploiting available resources, but also generating immense pollution as a result of using and extracting those resources. The imbalance has also led to immense biodiversity loss that has caused one of the biggest threats to human survival – climate change. It has now been described as a "code red for humanity." The campaign will continue to cover issues like air pollution, waste management, plastic ban, manual scavenging and sanitation workers and menstrual hygiene. Banega Swasth India will also be taking forward the dream of Swasth Bharat, the campaign feels that only a Swachh or clean India where toilets are used and open defecation free (ODF) status achieved as part of the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2014, can eradicate diseases like diahorrea and the country can become a Swasth or healthy India.

Sprinters are the heavyweight boxers of the track. The best ones have outsized egos. Their bravado lingers for years. That appears to be the case with Donovan Bailey, still Canada's fastest man.
The race was setup as a one-off stunt to crown the "world's fastest man" after Johnson started appearing in Nike ads making the claim. Johnson was the then 200m world record holder, and Bailey had just run the fastest 100m of all-time in Atlanta the year before.
Bailey scorched Johnson, and the latter runner pulled up with what he said was a hamstring injury at about the 100m mark. Bailey took him the $1.5 million prize for the victory. Johnson was paid $500,000 just for showing up.
The race wasn't sanctioned and, apart from the cash, only the runners' pride was at stake – something Bailey seems to have not forgotten 20 years later.
Johnson hasn't responded the Tweet.
Your interpretation and claim that Bailey is specifically trolling Johnson seems exaggerated. All he said was it was 20 years ago today…could mean many things, including the fact that a lot of time has passed since a memorable moment. It's not like he even tagged Johnson in the tweet. Inflammatory reporting perhaps? You can do better.

Azerbaijan's economy has been hit by a series of negative shocks - particularly a marked drop in oil prices, significant growth slowdown and currency depreciations in trading-partner countries. Limited financial sector development also weighs on domestic access to finance. Azerbaijan's challenges with legal risks - underscored by high levels of corruption in all spheres of public life, and cumbersome legislation in certain industries - limit foreign involvement and poses major risks for investors. On the upside, the government offers generous tax breaks in technology sectors and, at least on paper, welcomes foreign investment, viewing it as a tool for economic development. Moreover, a number of infrastructure and institutional development projects are in progress, and we expect to see pay-off in the coming years. Show more Show less

China's huge domestic market; investment incentives in high value-added sectors; high research and development expenditure; and a relatively stable political environment are all conducive for foreign investment, attracting investors. Nevertheless, corruption within business and politics remains pervasive in spite of targeted anti-corruption initiatives, and intellectual property protection remains weak. State-owned enterprises enjoy preferential treatment over foreign entities in areas such as credit allocation, taxation and legal protection. In addition to this, the risk of rising global protectionism from trading partners such as the US has the potential to deeply affect China's export volumes, hurting the country's trade balance.

For some, staying in a hostel is the only way to go. For others, it is a necessity particularly when it comes to stretching the travel budget.
Whatever your reason for staying in hostels, some of your best travel memories will be because you did.
Staying in a hostel can present some challenges for keeping your possessions safe, especially if you are not using a private room. If you are staying in a shared room with strangers, you need to think about theft risk.
Not all hostel stays involve theft but sharing accommodation with strangers can increase the risk.
So how can you protect your belongings against theft? The answer largely lies in preparation.
Here are our top tips to help you manage hostel theft risk.
The internet is a wonderful resource for pre-trip planning. Not only can you research hostels and make bookings, you can also find out what (if any) security measures are available to guests. Some hostels provide lockers for guests to use – sometimes for an additional charge. It is not a given though and some hostels provide no safe-keeping receptacles for guests to use. Some will allow guests to store valuable items in the hostel's safe but in some cases, this is not permissible. Check with the hostel before you book to see if there are lockers, safety deposit boxes or similar for guests to use. Also ask if there is any CCTV or other security systems in use.
Consider too how many people might be in the room you are booking. Can you stretch to a private room where only you will have access for the duration of your stay? This room type will offer more security for your possessions than a dormitory or share room.
If you are travelling in a group, it's sometimes possible to book a room for 4-6 people. In that case, can you all stay in the one room?
What sort of access will other guests have to your room? Some hostels offer guests lockable rooms whereas others have no locking doors with access being available to everyone who is in the hostel – this can sometimes include non-guests too!
Look for reviews left by previous guests of the hostel you are looking to book. There are many online travel forums where travellers detail their experiences and warn other travellers of risks. Some hostels have a history of theft incidents and online reviews should help in identifying these establishments.
Valuable property … take it or leave it?
We always recommend you carefully consider whether you need to take valuable items on your trip. Whilst it may not be necessary to travel with your finest jewels, most of us take a smartphone, laptop (or tablet) and sometimes a camera or watch.
Often it's a simple case of removing temptation and not leaving valuable items in a position where it is easy for them to be stolen.
It stands to reason that for at least some part of your stay, your belongings will be unattended in your room. This could be while you are using communal facilities in the hostel or out sightseeing. This is when your belongings are at their greatest risk of being tampered with and/or stolen.
Most valuable items are small and easily transportable – hence why they are particularly attractive to thieves. Their size also means that you can easily carry them in your daypack or handbag. Do yourself a favour – when leaving your hostel room, take your valuable items with you. This increases the likelihood that they will remain in your possession and safe from potential thieves. It is better to be safe than sorry!
OK, so you're off exploring for the day and taking your valuable items with you. What about the rest of your belongings?
Whilst your dirty laundry and toiletries wont appeal to many thieves, unattended property can still be tampered with. How does a thief know that you haven't buried money or jewellery at the bottom of your backpack?
When leaving your backpack behind in the hostel, put all items away, zip it up and pop on a padlock. While a padlock wont ensure your property is safe from thieves, it will minimize the potential.
Consider using a combination lock over a keyed padlock. Combination locks are less easily picked. Also, you wont have to worry about keeping a key safe.
It's a simple but effective risk mitigation strategy – don't flaunt your belongings. There is no need to highlight that you are travelling with the latest iPhone or top-end laptop. If thieves are in your midst, this is simply flagging you as a potential victim.
Have you thought about how you are going to safeguard your valuables while you're sleeping? Just because you are in close proximity to your property does not mean it is safe from theft. Again, we are talking here about your cash, credit cards, passport, jewellery and other small but valuable items.
When sleeping, keep them close. Consider placing these items in a money belt, neck pouch or similar and having this on your body (preferably inside your clothing). There is no guarantee you will wake up if someone is messing with your stuff and if you are a heavy or restless sleeper, putting something under your pillow for safe-keeping may not ensure its security. If you do plan to use this form of defence, put the items in the pillowcase and seal it. Assuming you keep your head on the pillow, stealing something from you would then involve lifting your head and removing your pillow. It's not perfect, but it is better than leaving items under your pillow.
If possible, always try to put your stuff in a locker. If not possible, use a money belt or neck pouch for small and highly valuable items and pack the rest of your stuff away in your backpack / suitcase and lock it. Also think about getting a chain which you can use to secure your bag to the leg of your bed. It wont ensure its safety but it will deter an opportune thief.
If you do suffer the misfortune of having property stolen, having a loss mitigation and recovery plan is essential.
Have copies of your important documents (eg passport and drivers licence) and a separate record of your debit and credit card numbers etc. It's a good idea to leave this data with someone at home and/or save it electronically so that you can access it while overseas.
Have access to money which is not dependent on the bank cards which have been stolen. Some travellers carry cards in separate locations and/or stash a small amount of cash somewhere for this purpose.
Know where the closest embassy / consulate is. Remember your consulate might be able to help with emergency funding (which you will need to repay once you've made it home safely).
Have your travel insurance details handy – and notify your insurer of the loss as soon as possible.
Report the loss and get written acknowledgement (ideally from the local police).
If your bank cards have been stolen, contact your bank and request they block access to your accounts.
If your phone has been stolen, contact your provider and request they block your phone. You will need your IMEI number to do this.
When it comes to travel insurance, it always pays to read the terms and conditions before you travel. Each insurance company has their own perspective on what constitutes reasonable care to safeguard your property from loss / theft. Some policies only cover certain types of property which has been left "unattended" and most have limits on the cover provided in these circumstances. Please, read the policy document to ensure it meets your requirements and if you have any queries about the cover, contact the insurer to clarify.
Theft can happen anywhere, not just in hostels. There is no reason to shy away from staying in a hostel – in fact hostels offer great accommodation at very reasonable prices. They also offer the opportunity to meet and form life long bonds with fellow travellers. Some hostels will be better than others but that can be said about many things in life!

London 2012 470 Men's medal race
Aussies come good as Malcolm Page becomes his country's most successful Olympic sailor
Friday August 10th 2012, Author: James Boyd, Location: United Kingdom
Australians Mat Belcher and Malcolm Page held a four point lead over Brits Luke Patience and Stuart Bithell going into today's medal race. With the two teams already assured of either a gold or silver medal, a match race in the medal race was inevitable.
And so it was that as the five minute gun sounded the Aussies engaged.
During this dust up there was a collision, as Stuart Bithell explained: "We knew it was going to be a bit of a match race. Before the start they tried to hunt us down, but we were prepared for that. There was a little protest over a port-starboard incident - they were on starboard, we gybed away on to starboard and they hit us but they didn't give us enough time and opportunity. But we managed to get to the start line on time which was the main aim, if they did do that."
In the light southeasterly wind, the Brits did a good enough job to shake off their opponents with both hitting the boat end of the line on port, with Patience and Bithell bow forwards.
"We needed that, we didn't want them attacking us too much on the first beat," said Patience.
Up the first beat the Brits remained ahead rounding the top mark first and, with Croatian light wind specialists Sime Fantela and Igor Marenic in second ahead of the Aussies, at this point the Brits were in a gold medal-winning position.
But this was not to last long. On the run the Aussies, always strong on the downwinds, launched themselves into the lead as the Brits were also overtaken by the Croats, these three extending away from the fleet. "They just soaked inside," said Patience of how they were overtaken. "It was tricky. There was pressure everywhere. You just get dealt a hand of cards and it is how you play those cards. We were first around and often that is a disadvantage when it is light winds, because people can gybe on you and that's exactly what happened."
On the second beat the Aussies headed right, the Brits were allowed to split left and there followed a tacking duel up the beat which intensified coming into the top mark. These shenanigans allowed the Croats to round in front with the Argentineans, Lucas Calabrese and Juan de la Fuente pulling up to third ahead of the Brits. And these positions remained until the finish, despite the Brits being penalised on the run for pumping and their then having to carry out a turn.
This gave gold to the Belcher and Page, silver to the Brits with the Argentineans maintaining third in their dust up with Italians Gabrio Zandonã and Pietro Zucchetti giving them the bronze.
"We had a good go," said Stuart Bithell afterwards. "It was nice and tight and close, there were protest flags coming out. It was always going to be close - you don't have many races in your life that are like that. Statistically it is not going to happen that often - we only do about seven medal races a year, so that makes the stats even less so again. And it is nice to do it from a place that is a win-win situation. It is fun."
Typically, as we saw with the medal race match racing specialist Ben Ainslie in the Finn race, the idea is to take your opponent to the back of the fleet. But this didn't materialise in today's race.
"We were trying to slow the whole thing up and let the fleet catch up," explained Patience. "Us and the Aussies match racing at the front of the fleet - we didn't think it would be like that. Normally you are sailing each other down the fleet and you are doing that at the back. But us and the Aussies just have had jets on us this week and we were just gone, it seems, much to our annoyance! The Croatians caught up, but not quite enough.
"It is a different thing to beating a boat, trying to get a boat in between you and the person you are trying to beat. It is largely out of your control and it was largely out of our control. It didn't help that we were away from the rest of the fleet in first and second."
Aussie helm Mat Belcher agreed that the match race hadn't gone to plan. "We were expecting to be further back in the fleet, especially from the start. We were a little bit surprised how far it went right just after the start. We were first and second at one point which was surprising because that wasn't really the plan for both of us. We regrouped, we changed the situation and we knew at that point that we were going back to normal racing to try and win the race. We had a couple of crossings where we both let each other go."
And so the Brits continue the tradition of Nick Rogers and Joe Glanfield in winning Team GBR a silver medal in the Men's 470 (they came home with them from both Athens and Beijing).
For Patience and Bithell, winning an Olympic medal on their first attempt was of course a dream come true. As Patience put it: "It is something that has been building for so many years. You dream of that moment. You dream of standing on the podium. Now we are here, we are 25 years old, we built this campaign out of nowhere in late 2009 and here we are 2012 Britain's best 470 sailors and one of the world's best with the Aussies. We are a good chunk ahead of the rest of the fleet right now. We can confidently say that. What a journey it has been. Morgan Reeser our coach has been so good at guiding us in the hard times and, believe me, they come.
"This week has been a blast. I am just so glad to steer a boat for Stu. He is a great friend and he is a legend. He crews that boat better than anyone."
Patience and Bithell intend to continue and now have Rio 2016 in their sights. "This is just a warm-up. We thought we'd get silver out of the way! We are going to Rio and we are going to do it all again and go one better," said Bithell.
While the Australian team's coach Victor Kovalenko is considered the guru in the 470 class, the British duo's coach, American Morgan Reeser, hasproved himself to be not far behind. Reeser is himself a 470 silver medallist from Barcelona and as a coach was behind the dominating campaign of Greece's Sofia Bekatorou and Emilia Tsoulfa, who won four consecutive World Championship titles and Olympic gold in Athens 2004.
Reeser provided some telling statistics on how well his protégés had done at this Olympic Games. "I told them that normally near the end of the fleet racing portion we go back and look at the races and say 'we could have saved two points here, five points there, six points there and you could have ended up with 15 points by the end of the regatta'. With them it was two points at that point! You can't ask for much more than that. They sailed pretty much a faultless event. I can guarantee there has been no 470 sailor in history who has dropped a sixth in the Olympics." In comparison the Aussies discard was a ninth.
And even though they lost today's medal race the Brits achieved the first objectives, Reeser continued. "They got off the line and got round the weather mark first – you can't ask for much more than that. One of our goals was consistently good weather mark roundings and they were best at that in the fleet by quite a ways. They sailed like champions is the bottom line."
Throughout this Olympic Games, a feature of Patience and Bithell's campaign was that they seemed to be having a good time. This is something that Reeser instilled in them following his experience with the Greeks. "There is no question that they had the most fun in this whole Olympic fleet. When I coached Sofia in Athens that was one of the goals as well, because she had won the Worlds and the Europeans before Sydney and had no fun there.
"Luke and Stu could have been very stale here. They live here, they sail here all the time and we didn't go to the Worlds - we were about the only ones that stayed. And they still enjoyed themselves. You are not going to sail well unless you are having fun."
But huge praise must be lumped on Australians Mat Belcher and Malcolm Page. Like Nathan Outteridge/Iain Jensen and Tom Slingsby the Australian 49er and Laser London 2012 gold medallists, they were the stand-out favourites for the 470 Men's gold and that it turned out to be nip and tuck with the Brits was something of a surprise.
"They haven't beaten us in close to two and a half years, but we certainly did feel them breathing down our neck and this week especially they had a great week," said Page, who now having won his second consecutive 470 Men's Gold medal makes him Australia's most successful ever Olympic sailor.
Going into the medal race the Brits were a massive 35 points ahead of the third-placed Croats, with the Aussies another four points further ahead, an unheard of separation.
"It just shows that what we did to the rest of the fleet – we really did gap them, surprisingly so," continues Page. "It made for big drama, but it certainly didn't help my nerves! We have a lot of respect for those guys – they are not only just great guys, but phenomenal sailors."
Mat Belcher added: "It was very close. We only had a four point lead going into it and it is a credit to both teams to be able to get to that stage. It is a nice feeling to know that you are guaranteed at least a silver for both of us. We have raced each other enough to know our style and our personalities. We have had some really close events over the last three or four years with them and we have really enjoyed it. There were never more than four points separating us.
"Today it was neck and neck. The first time around the top mark they had the gold, but the bottom mark we had it, half way up the next beat, they had it, etc. Obviously we kept our nerves and maybe a few nice wind shifts here and there – it is just fantastic it came our way."
From here Page, now 40, is set to retire from Olympic sailing, while Belcher, 29, is planning to continue but first is going back to University. "I am doing a Masters in Urban and Sustainable Development. I enrolled in that a few weeks before the Games and that will take me two years, but we will regroup. Sailing at the moment is obviously the number 1 sport for Australia and there is a lot of vibe and I want to be part of that. So, a couple of months to have a bit of a break, regroup and work out a plan for 2016."
A replacement for the irreplaceable Page, who won his first 470 World Championship in 2004 and has claimed five more since then, along with two Olympic golds, has been lined up from Australia's powerful 470 squad. "It is a tradition to go for a younger model," quips Belcher, teasing his eminent crew.
However there is a plan for a Belcher-Page reunion at the 50th anniversary 470 Regatta and Masters Worlds to be held next year in La Rochelle in August.
Both Belcher and Page were impressed with the sportsmanship at the front of the 470 fleet. "We had amazing respect for each other for the rules," said Page. "No one cried wolf this week. That last harbour race we did here, we were in a dogged match race and I remember looking at them the whole time to see what they were doing and Luke was looking at me and we were smiling at each other. It was good – it was a great friendly, but very tough battle this week. I have got the utmost respect for those guys and I hope we paid them back in the same way."
"It is a great credit to the class," added Belcher.
Luke Patience agreed: "Everyone has had a good time. There are no hard feelings. Today we could have been a bit aggressive to each other, but it was just sport and off the water we are all buddies."

After seeing the Julie/Julia movie, I decided that I wanted to read more about Julia Child's life, which is also partially why I haven't posted for a couple of weeks. I picked up one biography that was written before her death and also the book in which Mrs. Child described her introduction to French food and the journey that created Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Unfortunately, this had the effect of making me long even more for an entire movie starring Meryl Streep as Julia. The dedication and passion with which Julia Child tackled this project and her determination that American cooks have a chance to learn about this wonderful cuisine made me feel not a little bit guilty that I haven't tried to make things from her books more often.
While reading My Life in France, Julia mentions a dish called Piperade (on p. 183), that her friend Avis De Voto raved about. Aside from the general hunger pangs that reading these books caused, this reference was to a dish that I actually have made several times before which made me dig the recipe out of my own personal 'archive.' That and seeing late-summer tomatoes, ripe red peppers, and fragrant basil at the Greenmarket inspired me to put the books down and to actually make something. The clipping is from The Sunday Times of London about 11 years ago.
I've made a couple of notes on the side, just so that I could remember what I liked about this dish and to distinguish it from the hundreds of other recipes that I pull out of magazines. Because Julia mentions making it, I consulted MAFC (p. 137, Volume 1). There (and in versions I found in my other French cookbooks) it talks about scrambling the eggs into the tomato-pepper mixture. As a personal choice, I don't really like my eggs that way, so this take where the egg is cooked on top of the other ingredients better suits my tastes. It can also be used as a filling for an omelette.
I recommend using a 12-inch skillet to make this. That way, all the ingredients have space to cook without becoming too mushy. The raw peppers and tomatoes will end up reducing. In My Life in France, when going through the recipe testing process, Julia Child mentions some of the challenges in converting the recipes from French to American because even basic ingredients like flour are processed differently between the two countries. I've definitely had the same experience, but I'm happy to say that this recipe works well on both sides of the Atlantic.
At the end, you'll have a special dish for brunch, to serve perhaps with a chunk of a baguette or thick slice of toasted country bread. The sweetness of the tomatoes and peppers is contrasted by the smoky-peppery pancetta (I used a commercially available package of this instead of the bacon) and the bite of the basil. I usually sprinkle a little bit of salt, black pepper, and extra basil on top to finish it. I also made this in a regular batch and then broke it up in smaller portions to be reheated in tapas pans. This would be another way to serve it to your guests or, in my case, to eat it over several days for an extra-nice weekday breakfast.
