01 Dec Latest Employer Wellness Plan to Draw EEOC Fire Includes Biometric Screening Requirement
Posted at 15:49h in ClearPath blog, Compliance News by 6dadmin

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) appears to be attacking corporate wellness programs based on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA). After staying on the sidelines while the popularity of workplace wellness programs skyrocketed, the EEOC has brought its third lawsuit in about two months alleging that an employer's wellness program, in violation of the ADA and GINA, was not "voluntary" due to the "large" and "substantial" penalties to those who chose not to participate. EEOC v. Honeywell International, Inc. (D. Minn., filed Oct. 27, 2014). This attack raises complex challenges for employers since the agency has not issued guidance on wellness programs, even as other federal statutory schemes permit, and even promote, wellness programs.
According to the EEOC, employees not participating in Honeywell's program would pay up to $2,500 in "direct surcharges," as well as lose "up to $1,500 in contributions" to the employee's health savings account. The Honeywell program appears to require individuals to participate only in the biometric testing, not achieve any particular test results, to qualify for the premium discount. In its prior two lawsuits, the EEOC alleged not participating in the employer's wellness program would result in the employee paying 100% of the health insurance premium, a penalty the agency described as "steep," "enormous," and created "dire consequences." Generally, wellness programs with premium surcharges, as in Honeywell's, are more common than those that result in the employee's having to pay the full health insurance premium, as in the first two EEOC litigations.
EEOC regulations and Interpretive and Enforcement Guidance permit employers to conduct medical examinations, which can include obtaining medical histories, as part of a voluntary wellness program. For years, the EEOC's position has been that "[a] wellness program is 'voluntary,' as long as an employer neither requires participation nor penalizes employees who do not participate." In 2013, the EEOC reiterated that it "has not taken a position on whether and to what extent a reward amounts to a requirement to participate, or whether withholding of the award from non-participants constitutes a penalty, thus rendering the program involuntary." Not long after announcing that it plans to issue guidance this year on the amount of a reward or penalty allowed for a program to be "voluntary," an EEOC Commissioner suggested that any guidance with "bright line" rules was unlikely.
While the EEOC had been silent on incentives in wellness plans, Congress and other government agencies have not. More than 18 years ago, in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Congress carved out an exception to the general rule that group health plans and group health insurance issuers may not discriminate against individual participants and beneficiaries by allowing premium discounts, rebates, or modification to otherwise applicable cost sharing (including copayments, deductibles, or coinsurance) in return for adherence to certain programs of health promotion and disease prevention. The Departments of Labor (DOL), Health and Human Services (HHS), and the Treasury published joint final regulations implementing the HIPAA nondiscrimination and wellness provisions in December 2006. Wellness plans complying with these regulations became common in workplaces.
In March 2010, with the President's support for an incentive-based approach to wellness and a statement of Congress' approval of such an approach to wellness, the Affordable Care Act amended the HIPAA nondiscrimination and wellness provisions to allow employers to provide larger incentives to employees who satisfy requirements of the employer's health promotion and disease prevention (i.e., wellness program).
Regulations implementing the HIPAA provision have been issued as well. They include "bright-line" rules for determining the nature and extent of the incentives an employer may include in its wellness program.
The business community has responded to the HIPAA and ACA provisions by enacting wellness programs in large numbers and the EEOC is well aware that it is challenging a mainstream feature of corporate America. Some 94% of employers with more than 200 workers and 63% of employers with fewer employees have a wellness program, according to an EEOC press release issued when it filed its first wellness lawsuit.
The extent compliance with HIPAA and the ACA is a defense against the EEOC's legal attack likely will be a threshold issue in the case against Honeywell. In a press release, the company refers to the EEOC's lawsuit as "frivolous" and states that its "wellness plan incentives are in strict compliance with both HIPAA and the ACA's guidelines." It added that it is "disappointed that the EEOC would take a position that is so contrary to a fundamental component of the President's health care plan, legislation passed by Congress, and the desire of all Americans to lead healthier lives."

Do you have rheumatoid arthritis
Do you have rheumatoid arthritis?
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) attacks the whole body rather than just the joints as in osteoarthritis. Here, our experts explain the importance of early diagnosis and treatment.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) attacks the whole body rather than just the joints as in osteoarthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is a progressive auto-immune disease where the body's immune system attacks the joints, causing pain and inflammation.
If left untreated and allowed to progress, it can 'eat away' at, and severely damage the joints.
The key to preventing damage is early diagnosis and beginning treatment as early as possible – at least within the first three months.
The good news is that treatments have advanced considerably in the last 10 years.
Symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis
Symptoms usually start in the small joints of the hands and feet – particularly the main knuckle joints in the hand and usually affect at least two joints, which become painful, red and inflamed, and may start to swell.
Symptoms usually progress rapidly within days and weeks. The pain is severe, persistent and doesn't go away.
Other symptoms of RA can include:
Morning joint stiffness (lasting more than half an hour)
Extreme tiredness
Loss of appetite and weight loss
Flu-like illness.
If you have some of these symptoms, see your GP.
Distinguishing rheumatoid arthritis from osteoarthritis
RA is a systemic disease, which means that it affects the whole body, including sometimes the heart, eyes, skin, lungs and blood. It's an auto-immune condition – which means the body's own immune system begins to attack the body.
Although osteoarthritis can also cause joint pain – including morning stiffness – this usually disappears after half an hour, but in RA it often lasts for many hours.
Patients with RA can wake up in the middle of the night with joint pain and stiffness, often experiencing fatigue and weight loss, which doesn't happen with osteoarthritis.
According to the NHS, rheumatoid arthritis affects more than 400,000 people in the UK- around 1 per cent of the population. It often starts when a person is between 40 and 50 years old and women are 3 times more likely to be affected than men, although it can start at any age and affect men too. Rheumatoid arthritis is much less common than osteoarthritis, which affects around 8.5 million people.
What causes rheumatoid arthritis?
Doctors aren't certain what causes it, but some experts believe it could be triggered by a virus, infection or an injury. Although family history plays a role, it doesn't necessarily follow that you will develop RA if a close relative has the condition.
Because many more women have RA than men, it's possible that hormones may have a role in its development. Prolonged use of the oral contraceptive pill may have a protective role, reducing the risk of developing RA, but it may just delay the onset rather than prevent it developing.
Various blood tests can identify RA, including the rheumatoid factor test and the anti-citrullinated protein antibody test. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging can also reveal early signs of joint inflammation.
Treatment for rheumatoid arthritis
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs: These are given to ease pain and reduce inflammation and include ibuprofen and naproxen, but do not slow down the RA process.
Disease modifying therapy (DMARDs): These slow down the progression of the disease and can be used alone or in combination therapies.
Biologics: These are newer types of DMARDS which target several different proteins responsible for inflammation. They are only prescribed when at least two standard DMARDs have been tried (one of which must be methotrexate) and the patient's disease is not well-controlled.
Physiotherapy, occupational therapy, pain management techniques, injections and surgery, including joint replacement, are other treatment options.
RA and heart disease
RA increases the risk of a heart attack or stroke. It's important to see your GP to prescribe preventative treatments to control your blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Following a healthy diet, exercising and stopping smoking will also reduce your risks.
Exercise: Although a very inflamed joint needs to be rested, as soon as it improves you should try to be active and take exercise, to keep the joint mobile and strengthen the muscles and tendons that move the joint.
Losing weight: If you're overweight, losing weight can relieve pressure on weight-bearing joints.
Keep a food diary: There's no special diet that has proven to help in RA, but some patients notice symptoms flare up after eating certain foods. For this reason it can be helpful to keep a food diary to see if any foods trigger you symptoms and try avoiding them.
Stop smoking: For some people, stopping smoking may reduce symptoms, and you'll also be at a lower risk of heart attack or stroke.

Did they break up before Christmas?
There's no national census taken to count the heartbroken, but a research analyst looked at several different statistics and compiled a list of the top ten cities in the U.S. for heartbreak. The results are based on how long marriages last in each state, the number of dating services available to locals, how cities measure on the Gallup Well-Being index, and–of course–gonorrhea rates.
California is a hotbed for ruined romance, with three cities on the list: San Diego, Los Angeles, and Riverside apparently have love droughts (in addition to real droughts). Florida, the global epicenter for fundamentally bizarre human behavior, has Miami come in as the second-most heartbreak-filled place in the U.S.
Vegas is inexplicably absent, and good old Chicago, Ill., is apparently the number one place for shattered relationships. The City of Broad Shoulders is also the city of broken marriages and a lot of venereal disease. No wonder everyone takes solace in thick pizzas, ketchup-free hotdogs, and improv classes.
Strangely, statistics on how frequently people order adult-sized Japanese body pillows online in each city were not included in the research.

Pipes of Peace 2015 Remaster / Track - by - Track Review
I'm kind of in the middle between the debate between Pipes of Peace and Tug of War. While I don't believe that Pipes of Peace is nearly on the level of Tug of War (one of Paul's top 3 for me) I also certainly don't believe that Pipes is all bad either. I have always found that even on Paul's lesser albums, there are always sections/songs of sheer brilliance. After listening to Pipes for several days, I think the 1st half is relatively strong but it is the 2nd half that slides significantly downward. This is what makes it a lesser album. But true to form with Macca's lesser albums you do find brilliance in parts. Track by track analysis (my opinion only) with a scale of 1-10. Pipes of Peace --8 Good opener and good production from George Martin. Love the video by the way (one of my favorites). I always thought the lyrics could have been a little better for the subject. I like the song but as an album opener, it isn't nearly as good as Tug of War (the song) . Say, Say, Say -- 9 I have to be fair here. While this type of dance/pop track isn't my favorite music style, it was a huge success. Good music vibe and excellent trading vocals by Paul and Michael. You can't rate a song lower when it has that type of success (same thing when I rated Ebony and Ivory a 9 also) The Other Me -- 8 Many critics love to crush Paul on the "dustbin lid" lyric, but I have always liked this song. Strangely, I love the lyrics as a whole because Paul gets real personal here. I have to think that Paul was ashamed of something he did or said to Linda. Here he is strongly apologizing and looking to find the "other me". I also love the R&B/Soul type of groove and vocal. Was wishing that he would go into the studio with this remaster and redo the dustbin lid vocal with a new lyric. Keep Under Cover -- 8 Despite the 80's production, I really like the melody and vocal as well as George Martin's production. Certain parts of the lyrics are goofy which is the only reason I didn't give it a little higher rating. So Bad -- 9 Again, I'm going against my natural tendencies here. Yes, this song is too sweet and poppy. And the lyrics fit more the teenage crowd. But you have to give credit here...Paul's melody and bass are fabulous on So Bad. The Man -- 6 Here is where Pipes of Peace really starts to go south. Where Paul and Michael sound great on Say,Say,Say...their vocals on The Man which is more of a ballad sound way too similar and sweet. It's hard to figure out which on is singing on each line. And you do know that Michael is singing the "this is the Man" line which finishes each verse. His voice is too thin and grating to me which each listen. George Martin's production does save it to a degree. Sweetest Little Show - 8 One of the few songs in the 2nd half that I like a lot. It is a nice little gem with great guitar work and I like the Beachboy like harmonies. Also like the instrumental middle. Average Person - 3 While it starts out on a nice groove, it goes down quickly for me as it continued. The lyrics are clunky and the song starts sounding like a "Show tune". Hey, Hey - 5 Could be a decent, almost fully instrumental album track but it gets hurt by what precedes and follows it. Tug of Peace - 1 One of Paul's worse songs in my opinion. Just way to force here trying to connect Tug of War and Pipes of Peace. Even Paul McCartney misses sometimes. Through our Love - 8 At least Paul ends Pipes of Peace on a strong note. Very nice love ballad with great vocals and lyrics by Paul Pipes of Peace is a little too pop, too sweet for my overall album taste but I think (as you see above) there are a few very good tracks here.

moptops:
Thanks Moptops. It was late when I wrote this review so I noticed several typos this morning. As I compare the 2 albums on a track by track basis, it is very noticeable to me how much better Tug of War is as a total album than Pipes of Peace. Of course this is strictly my opinion and as we have always seen on this board, opinions do vary a lot. On Tug, I gave 5 tracks a perfect 10 score (on my Tug of War post) and 3 more at a 9 (meaning very good to excellent). On Pipes, I didn't see any track as a perfect 10 and I had 2 (9's) and 5 (8's) respectively. The consistency of Tug was very high where the lowest rated track was still a (7). Conversely, on Pipes, you had 2 songs at a (3) and (1) respectively. It kind of shows the lack of consistency on Pipes. Tug just jells for me as a complete album. A good mix of styles and as a whole excellent lyrics. The one track that arguably is out of place (What's That Your Doing) because to me it is much more of a Stevie Wonder song. That is why I had it as my lowest rated (7). But it is infectious with repeated listens. Paul's vocals have always been so flexible that even on this funky R&B and obvious Stevie track he delivers. Another R&B induced track which again took me a little longer to like is Dress Me Up as a Robber. This time it is Solely Paul's song and has really grown with me. It gives Tug a couple of R&B styled tracks to go along with all the other styles. Yes, maybe Tug could have used an all out rocker but I'm not sure it would have fit. You do have "rock" laced in songs like the Pound is Sinking and Dress Me Up as a Robber. Pipes on the other hand doesn't jell as an album to me. Paul tries to tie the album together with Tug of Peace at the end but it is way too forced and frankly a bad song in my opinion. Still as I said, there are some good to very good individual tracks on Pipes of Peace and should be included on an 80's 2/3 CD compilation project if something like that ever came out.
For those who haven't seen it, I was just watching the latest video on the PM Website featuring Paul's special relationship with George Martin. It centers on the Pipes of Peace Sessions and specifically they are working together on Keep Under Cover. Check out Paul singing the beginning of Keep Under Cover at the 4:25 mark. I think his vocal is just so great and smooth. Shows that his vocals were still at a top peak in 1983. I still think that Keep Under Cover is one of the best songs on Pipes. I gave it an "8". While I don't get carried away analyzing lyrics, I think the lyrics on Keep Under Cover could easily have been better. Love the lyrics in the beginning just wished he would have spent a little more time changing the words in the middle parts...i..e. the bread and butter as well as the art and head lines were probably the first things that entered Paul's head. Would have liked to see something more romantic there to go with the sentiment of the opening verse which is terrific. A great lyric to Keep Under Cover might have propelled the song to close to classic status. Anyway, still a good song for sheer listening enjoyment. I think that probably Paul had a lot of pressure to get Pipes of Peace out on the market with the momentum of Say,Say,Say and Michael Jackson meteoric rise in the music industry. Getting it out fast meant more sales and with the pressure of the music business, I can understand that. A little time flushing out the lyrics on some of the songs would have improved Pipes a lot. The Other Me is another great example of a potentially great song that could have used lyric work. You know the part I'm addressing. Still not crazy at all about Average Person. I guess some could see it as more diversity in Paul's music. It just has this vaudeville/showtune vibe to it that just doesn't measure up to the great standards of Macca's music in my opinion. I felt the same way about the "medley' at the end of the Red rose Speedway album. Average Person and Tug of Peace really brings Pipes of Peace down for me but as I always say...even Macca's lesser albums have pieces of brilliance. As prolific of an artist as Paul is, not every track is going to work. This would be true with every great artist. Any thoughts and let me know what you thought about Paul's vocals on Keep Under Cover in the latest video.
He got a bit lazy, perhaps on POP, should have included stronger fare in place of the weaker songs--you can't say "it's all good" but can say a lot of it is. "The Man" sounds special to me, sparkly and a bit magical with enigmatic thought-provoking lyrics, one wonders what they mean. It's interesting to regard the two together, POP and TOW as companion pieces (sort of).
SusyLuvsPaul:
____________________________________ Good points Susy. I also like Sweetest Little Show. Love the guitars and the instrumental in the middle. No doubt there are some good tracks on POP. I still think he had a lot of pressure from the record company to get POP out. Perhaps that's why a couple of the tracks could have used some lyric edits that never got done. What do you think about The Other Me. I actually like the lyrics as a whole because as I said, Paul gets real personal and seems to be very disappointed in himself. Must have been something he said or did to Linda that in retrospect, he wasn't proud of. Anyway, that how I interpret it.
I love this album, I always have. Even though I bought it towards the end of the year, it has always had for me the feel of an endless summer on a flat earth under twins suns. I bought the record in a little independent store in Andersonstown on the outskirts of Belfast. I don't remember the name of the store - it's long gone. But I still have the LP and the memory as proof that it existed. The new remaster does the album proud and in certain instances it restores songs to favourite lists: The title track was always a song that floored me, especially when seen in conjunction with its video. After Tug of War I had suspected Paul had wanted to take on something of John Lennon's mantle, writing anthemic songs about peace and love. But by this time it was the 1980s and the old causes of social justice and anti-war were dying fast. I'm not sure whether Paul realised this, but I am sure that he defaulted to coy defensiveness after the somewhat cynical reception of Ebony and Ivory in anticipation of it. Pipes of Peace's strengths are also its faults - if you get it you get it, if you don't you likely never will. I'm not a fan of Michael Jackson and I always disliked Say Say Say. I don't find it catchy - it sounds to me like a rather cynical exercise in generating a money-spinner and to that end it worked. A business song with an eye on the charts. The Other Me is one of my favourite McCartney songs from this era, perhaps from any era. Far from finding the lyrics irritating or poor, I find them heartfelt and disarming. They're personal in the best sense - they often appear meaningless to you or me, but not to them; and that's the point really. Attacks by critics and fans alike on the endearments of the song only strengthen it for those who appreciate its forlorn quality. The atmosphere is one of intense longing ameliorated only by willfully lame jokes which attempt to dispel the gloom. Again, if you know you know, if you don't, get a life. Keep Under Cover is a gloriously uptempo number that I always appreciated - it's mumbo jumbo, but so inoffensive and catchy that it carries the day. I will own that it's badly placed on the album sequence - The Other Me, as fine a song as it is, has an ambiguous quality that needs defining, and Keep Under Cover tends towards negative rather than positive, simply through lack of substance. So Bad - great song, lousy production. This is one instance where Paul should have passed on George Martin and cast around for better options, preferably himself as producer. I can't say much else as the potential of the song has been smothered here. Of the two collaborations with Jackson, I find The Man to be much superior to Say Say Say. In a way it reminds me of Martha My Dear - the production sounds uniquely inventive, mixed way beyond the capacity of my speakers to decipher; it's meaningless, of course - which is the best thing about it. I do rather like Sweetest Little Show, a charming inoffensive number, much superior to the ghastly Get It on Tug of War which is a comparable song. However, the demo of SLS again shows us the shortcomings of George Martin's production and much of the charm of the song has been lost in the studio. Average Person gets a bad rap and I'm not particularly inclined to defend it. I don't find it offensive or patronising as some people seem to - it's certainly superior to rubbish like Mr Bellamy or sunken disco blues like Dress Me Up As a Robber; but I find again that the production grates and Paul's vocal is almost childish. Hey Hey - interesting jazz influenced instrumental, very much of its time, with much to recommend it in terms of sound-staging and robotic repeat points. If your ears are open to other genres and styles, this shouldn't be a problem and it's certainly a departure. Tug of Peace - this is perhaps the only instance of what I would regard as filler on Pipes of Peace. It sounds like a studio-hashed attempt to thematically link two albums, almost as an afterthought, and it doesn't really work. It's more like a jam than a song and would have been better saved as a b-side. Something like Ode to a Koala Bear would have worked much better here. Through Our Love. This song is beautiful. It's overlooked, but that doesn't take anything away from it. It's over-produced, but it soars to meet the challenge and just about does it. Of all the tracks on the album I find it to be the most bittersweet reminder of possibilities; it slightly anticipates the power ballads which were to become all the rage very shortly, and I don't think we would have had No More Lonely Nights without this song.
Squid:
_______________________________________________________ Good stuff Squid. It's always good to get someone's take on an album. Liked your take especially on Through Our Love. It think you spot on with your analysis. I do like the song a lot.

I remember playing the original CD way back when I heard the "Average person" it was a landmark for the first time I thought Paul could write bad songs Then a year latter I read somewhere that George Martin had one time rejected to work on some of Paul's songs for being just terrible
I am now convinced I am the only person in the world who thinks "Tug of Peace" ain't all that bad.
And whilst I am at it, I like the Michael Jackson collaborations....
comehome:
This is the same George Martin who is seen looking at his watch as Paul is trying to "sell" him It's Not On in the video on the bonus disc. Frankly, if I had a colleague, or an employee - because Paul would have hired Martin to produce - who behaved like that, I'd have their desk cleared and get security to march them out of the building. Frankly, Martin was just as old fogey who got lucky and got rich by being in the right place at the right time.

"Frankly, Martin was just as old fogey who got lucky and got rich by being in the right place at the right time." I think Mr. McCartney would totally disagree with that statement and I think he knows better than you how much credit Mr. Martin deserved and how much talent he has.
Maybe I'm amazed !!
yankeefan7:
Why don't you ask him.
Not sure if it's because of the remastered sound, but boy I have rediscovered Twice In A Lifetime on the bonus disc, the vocals are so great! It never really did much to me until now. I'm worried though that Simple As That won't be remastered, perhaps on Broad Street?

I'd give Average Person a 7, it's great fun and the production is superb, the middle instrumental part I find absolutely exhilarating. And I'd give Hey Hey a 6, it's a perfectly decent instrumental. Tug of Peace is the weakest track, but it still gets a 5, the idea is rather clever if a little hit and miss in it's execution. With regards to ' Many critics love to crush Paul on the "dustbin lid" lyric, ' This is because THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND the meaning of the lyric, actually clever thinking from Paul. To write 'little kid' would have been lazier.
ewanme:
I'll continue to stick with Tug of Peace (even if just for that vocal 'rip'), and I don't have any issues with The Other Me (I think it is a good ditty, I like it), but I am surprised Paul at the time didn't take full account of the fact his major target audience would have no idea about rhyming slang... and even now, all these years later, I still don't think they do.


Story: This is my uncle whom I cherish very much. He was supposed to be taking a picture of my mom and I on one of our many visits to San Francisco. What he didn't know was that he had my camera facing towards him. He had taken an accidental selfies. This is one of my favorite photos.


Our love story with the Newfoundland dog started… with a mixed breed! Huey came into our lives in 1996 and, although he was generally recognized as a retriever X, it rapidly became very clear to us that a Newf or two had found their way into his lineage. We quickly decided that we had to add a Newf to our family. After much research and waiting almost a year, Twin arrived. We fell in love head over heel.
After a few more dogs, some health issues, unsuccessful breedings, hopes and joys, we had a fresh start and welcomed our "4 Freedom" litter.
Health, temperament and soundness are our utmost priorities when deciding on a breeding. We strive to preserve and enhance the true nature and purpose of the Newfoundland: a versatile dog, as comfortable in the show and obedience ring as he can be doing water or draft work.
As our beloved pets, our dogs live with us, in our home. Our puppies are born and raised in the house. Our life revolves around our dogs and we wouldn't have it any other way!

Apple receives patent for door security camera: can accurately identify visitors
According to Patently Apple, Apple has recently been granted a patent for a door security camera design. According to the patent, the camera system has face recognition capabilities and can communicate with the HomePod mini and Smart TV+.
Apple acquired Lighthouse in March 2019, and the patent application is from two engineers at Lighthouse.
In one implementation, the device would be able to perform facial recognition to identify a specific person when it detects the presence of a specific object (such as a face or body) walking in. The device can further identify the physical characteristics of a particular person from a first video feed, for example, based on the analysis of other physical characteristics of the particular person (including, for example, their torso, the clothes they are wearing, etc.).
Apple's camera system will use deep learning models to train itself to improve its ability to accurately identify a particular person.

Our Joondalup Community Midwifery Program (CMP) officially opened yesterday, giving women greater pregnancy care options in their local community.
Established in 1996, the Community Midwifery Program is the only publically-funded home birth program of its kind in Australia and provides more than 400 women per year with community based, midwifery-led care for low-risk women.
Situated in the Lakeside Joondalup Shopping Centre the clinic has an external facing entrance and easy access to parking.
CMP Manager Dawn Hudd said she was excited to bring Community Midwifery to the northern suburbs.
"We are all very excited to be able to deliver our services in Joondalup," she said.
The Community Midwifery Program offers the options of birthing at the Family Birth Centre, in stand-alone birthing rooms or at a public hospital with a known midwife, with a team of 14 midwives providing services from three clinics in Joondalup, Kalamunda and Cockburn.
The new dedicated community clinic will provide pregnancy health services for women throughout the course of their antenatal, home or hospital birth and postnatal period and can also include parent education classes and lactation support.

Q: Android app uploading data to a python server via post I have successfully implemented this from android to a java httpservlet on google app engine, but I'd like to use python instead for the server side. I'm new to python. Has anyone done this? I have the guestbook example up and running, but I can't seem to send posts from my android app to the server.
I'd also like to issue a string response back to the client like "success".
A guiding hand would be much appreciated.
Thanks
***Client side java:
URL url = new URL(Const.SERVER_NAME);
URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
connection.setDoOutput(true);
OutputStreamWriter out = new OutputStreamWriter(
    connection.getOutputStream()
);
out.write("content=12345");
out.close();

***Server side Python:
class Upload(webapp.RequestHandler):
    def post(self):
        greeting.content = self.request.get('content')
        greeting.put()

***Server side Java (working)
public void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    throws ServletException, IOException
{

    try {
        String instring = request.getParameter("content")

        // set the response code and write the response data
        response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_OK);
        OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(response.getOutputStream());

        writer.write("Success");
        writer.flush();
        writer.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        try{
            response.setStatus(HttpServletResponse.SC_BAD_REQUEST);
            response.getWriter().print(e.getMessage());
            response.getWriter().close();
        } catch (IOException ioe) {
        }
    }

A: I know it's been a long time. But I did solve this so I'll post the solution.
Android code:
        url = new URL(SERVER_URL);
        URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
        connection.setDoOutput(true);

        OutputStreamWriter out = new OutputStreamWriter(
                                  connection.getOutputStream());

        String post_string;
        post_string = "deviceID="+tm.getDeviceId().toString();

        // send post string to server
        out.write(post_string);
        out.close();

        //grab a return string from server
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
                    new InputStreamReader(
                    connection.getInputStream()));

        Toast.makeText(context, in.readLine(), Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

And here's the python server side, using Django with GAE:
def upload(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        deviceID = measurement.deviceID = str(request.POST['deviceID'])
        return HttpResponse('Success!')
    else:
        return HttpResponse('Invalid Data')

State B track roundup: Bigfork's Bryn Morley adds to gold medal collection

LAUREL — It was a grueling day for Bigfork's Bryn Morley, but that didn't stop the senior from winning the 800- and 3,200-meter runs at the Class B state track and field meet Friday at the Laurel Sports Complex.
Morley built a substantial lead after the first lap in the 800 that the competitors had far too much ground to overcome. Crossing in a time of 2 minutes, 13.55 seconds, Morley won the 800 for the second consecutive year and the third time in her high school career.
"My first lap definitely was not as fast as I wanted it to be, so it wasn't quite the time I wanted," Morley said. "But it was good because I didn't dig deep, so I won't feel it too much (Saturday) in the mile."
Morley was even more dominant in the 3,200, lapping the rest of the field just over midway through the race and finishing in 10:46.41. While she didn't come near the state-record times of Townsend's Chiara Warner, Morley has her concentration on Saturday's 1,600-meter run, where she already holds the Class B record.
"I think just having a time goal just lets you try to keep a certain pace, obviously," Morley said. "I had a certain goal in mind, so just hitting those splits every time, thinking about that and not really how I'm by myself gets me through it."
The day wasn't over, though, for Morley, who also finished fourth in the 400-meter dash. Morley's collection of gold medals at State B track meets has climbed up to nine, with a chance to add two more Saturday in the 1,600 and 1,600-meter relay.
Austin Forson wins discus title but disappointed with mark
After breaking the Class B state record in the discus at last year's state meet, Deer Lodge's Austin Forson came up just short of matching his 2017 performance. Forson won the discus easily with a throw of 170 feet, 4 inches, but was visibly frustrated and disappointed afterward. He had a much loftier goal in mind than just the Class B state record.
"I was just trying too hard, and nerves got to me," Forson said. "I wasn't quite how I normally am. … I was just trying to break my brother's record."
Forson's older brother Brandon, who previously held the state record that Austin broke, still holds the Deer Lodge school record that Austin was searching for, tossing the discus 195-03. This is Austin Forson's third consecutive State B discus title.
Forsyth well-positioned after first day
The Johnstone twins produced on Day 1 for the Forsyth boys track and field team, positioning the Dogies well going into Day 2. Cade won the Class B 400-meter dash in 49.3 seconds, holding off Florence's Jethro Thorne down the stretch. Paul placed second in the Class B long jump after Joliet's Ry Olson lept 22-01 to win.
The Dogies lead the team race with 30 points through five events. Caleb Knoche added a win for Forsyth in the javelin, recording a throw of 169 feet, 3 inches to top Fairfield's Dawson Allen.
More State B notes
A pair of Manhattan Tigers crossed the line first in the Class B boys 1,600. Bryce Love defeated teammate Zak Meeker to win the state title, crossing the line in 4:31.55.
Morley's Bigfork teammate Haile Norred took home the title in the Class B girls 400-meter dash with a time of 58.91.
Bigfork's girls have a sizable lead in the team race after the first day. The Valkyries have scored 44 points through six events, well ahead of Colstrip and Deer Lodge, who are tied for second with 16 points each.

Years ago I was doing some work on Seville Rd off E. San Mateo Rd. near the intersection of Old Pecos Trail. Next to the house on which I was working, was an unusual-looking building at least by Santa Fe standards. It sort of looked like a rustic clubhouse. I asked my client if he knew anything about it. He said it was once a golf course clubhouse and that this neighborhood was once a golf course.
On investigation I found that the area south of E. Cordova Rd, west of Old Pecos Trail to Don Gaspar was once a golf course called "Lovato Golf Links". The Chamber of Commerce maps of the City of Santa Fe from 1920-1930 show an unnamed road in this location with the following: "to Lovato Golf Links". At this time this was beyond the City's southern boundary.
The Palace of the Governors, Photo Archives had this interesting photo.
In the distance, to the NW of the tee, can be seen the old State Penitentiary near the current intersection of Cerrillos Rd. and St. Francis Dr. Notice in the photo a complete absence of piñon-juniper; this view today is totally obscured by trees. The tee was of compacted soil, the fairway of native vegetation. Another of Roberts' photos shows a "green" of compacted, raked sand: a real environmentally conscious course. It was probably by default, as they didn't have elaborate sprinkler systems then, nor water availability.
For some reason this course isn't mentioned in the city Directories of the period. It appears to have been short-lived as "to Lovato Links" disappears from the C of C maps in the early 1930's.
Country Club & Lobato (sic) Golf Links "...one of the most complete in NM."
The late Pancho Espstein, a Santa Fe New Mexican columnist and avid golfer, wrote a column on golf, and one was a brief history of Santa Fe golf courses. In it he mentions the Mesa Golf Course located in what is now the Sol y Lomas neighborhood off Old Pecos Trail, north of Rodeo Rd. The Mesa Club was founded in 1900.
I believe his location is incorrect because a New Mexican article dated Aug. 18, 1900 reports the burning down of the Ramona School at "the head of Don Gaspar", the same location as the Lovato Links. The article goes on to say that the large structure was the home of a local merchant by the name of Goebbel and that the rest of the building was occupied by the Mesa Golf Club. I believe the Mesa Club morphed into the Lovato Links.
And to clinch my research as to location, I remembered that Charles Lindbergh and his wife Anne in 1929 did an aerial photo survey of New Mexico and Arizona archaeological sites. Not all of the photos were archaeological, and there are peripheral photos of non-archaeological locations: three of Santa Fe.
One of them is a panorama of Santa Fe taken from the south looking north (Palace of the Governors, Photo Archives, Lindbergh 1929, neg.#130333). On this photo is shown the Lovato Links, all nine holes, at the location I described with a clubhouse in the center of the course.

Askald est un monde de fiction créé par Seishi Kishimoto dans lequel se déroule l'histoire du shōnen manga Satan 666. C'est un monde où les chasseurs de trésors de tout horizon s'affrontent pour retrouver les O-Parts, ces trésors, restes d'une civilisation aujourd'hui disparue. Les chasseurs de trésors sont nombreux pour découvrir et parcourir les ruines de ce monde...

Organisations & Sociétés

Gouvernement de Stea

Organisation qui désire rassembler la cabale où peut être emprisonnés les anges. Cette cabale est aussi appelée Sainte Cabale. Une fois tous les anges emprisonnés, Stéa aura la puissance nécessaire pour pouvoir gouverner le monde et battre son rival Zenom. La cabale ne peut être utilisée que si le chef, le président, est en possession du premier O-parts légendaire qui permet de manipuler la Sainte cabale et qui est marqué par une représentation de cette cabale.

Zenom

Organisation qui désire rassembler la cabale où peut être emprisonnés les démons. Cette cabale est aussi appelée Cabale Inversée. Une fois tous les démons emprisonnées, Zenom aura la puissance nécessaire pour pouvoir gouverner le monde et battre son rival Stea. La cabale ne peut être utilisée que si le chef, le généralissime Zenom, est en possession du deuxième O-parts légendaire qui permet de manipuler la cabale inversée et qui est marqué par une représentation de cette cabale.

Cyclope

Les cyclopes sont le peuple originaire du monde d'Askald. Après la venue du Shin dans leur monde, ce peuple fut presque complètement éteint. Ils vivent maintenant en petite communauté cachée dans les montagnes. Ils ont la peau mate et ont la particularité de posséder un troisième œil frontal leur donnant le pouvoir de déplacer les objets inanimés seulement par la pensée.

Royaume de Zipan

Royaume indépendant créé par Barusa après sa fuite à bord du Shin du gouvernement de Stéa, on ne sait rien de plus sur ce royaume ni son étendue sur les terres d'Askald.

Légendes et définitions

O-Parts

Les O-Parts sont les restes d'une ancienne civilisation, ils peuvent prendre diverses formes et chacun renferme un pouvoir bien particulier qui ne peut être déclenché que par un 'O-Part Tacticien. Ce sont en réalité des fragments du Shin dans sa forme finale, lorsqu'il arriva sur terre. Ils sont classés en sept catégories : E, D, C, B, A, S, SS. E étant la plus faible et SS la plus forte.

OPT (O-Parts Tacticien)

les OPT (O-Parts Tacticien) sont des humains capable d'activer le pouvoir des O-Parts en utilisant leur spirit.
L'aura blanche libérée par les O.P.Ts est une sorte d'énergie que l'on trouve dans plusieurs mangas (Naruto, HunterxHunter…), plus l'esprit est puissant, plus l'arme sera puissante.
Il est très rare de rencontrer un O.P.T car comme il est expliqué dans le manga à peu près 0.005 % de la population serait un O.P.T, c'est-à-dire 1 personne sur 200 000.
Le maniement d'un O-Part se fait en deux phases :
 Libération du spirit :
C'est l'étape où l'OPT (O-Parts Tacticien) libère son spirit (sorte d'aura blanche) afin d'utiliser l'effect (pouvoir ou particularité) de son O-Part.

2. Activation de l'effect :
l'O-Part capte le spirit de l'OPT qui est alors en mesure de déclencher l'effect.
Certains O-Parts peuvent s'utiliser sans l'effect : par exemple, Zeroshiki, qui est un boomerang, peut se lancer tout simplement.

Cabale

La Cabale était une arme d'une ancienne civilisation, dans le manga le gouvernement de Stéa veut s'en emparer.
En fait, il existe deux Cabales, elles ont plusieurs noms, mais se nomment généralement la Sainte Cabale (ou Cabale Juste) et La Cabale Inversée. La Sainte Cabale (ou Cabale Juste) regroupe 10 anges (les sephiroth) et la Cabale Inversée regroupe 10 démons (les anti-sephiroth).

Les éléments de la Cabale
1: Métatron (Couronne), récipiendaire : Cross
2: Ratziel (Connaissance), trouvé dans un village indien par Stea
3: Zafkiel (Compréhension), inconnu
4: Tzadokiel (Pitié), récipiendaire : Zéro
5: Samael (Rigueur), récipiendaire : Locke
6: Michael (Beauté), arme de Stea vaincu par Cross (sous sa forme éveillée)
7: Haniel (Victoire), mis en cabale par Mishima
8: Raphaël (Gloire), inconnu
9: Gabriel (Base), inconnu
10: Sandalfon (Royaume), récipiendaire : Ruby

Les éléments de la Cabale inversée
1i: Satan ou Lucifer (Nihilisme), récipiendaire : Jio
2i: Bélzébuth (Rejet, refus), récipiendaire : Icaros
3i: Lucifugus (Stupidité), récipiendaire : Yuria
4i: Astaroth (Indifférence), libéré de la Cabale par Locke, il est vaincu par Jin et Zéro
5i: Asmodée (Cruauté), récipiendaire : Zeckt
6i: Bélphégor (Laideur), récipiendaire : Zeckt
7i: Ba'al (Luxure), vaincu par Kujaku dans des ruines
8i: Adramalec (Avarice), récipiendaire : Kujaku
9i: Lilith (Instabilité, angoisse), récipiendaire : Ponzu
10i: Nahémar (Matérialisme), il est tellement grand qu'il est le quartier général de Zenom

Alucard Spirit

Il était une fois un homme appelé Alucard Spirit qui domina le monde grâce à l'O-Part légendaire et aux cabales… Mais ce fut la chute plus tard pour lui comme pour les personnes qui ont voulu bénéficier de ce pouvoir avant lui. Plus tard, on apprendra qu'il faisait partie de la race des cyclopes.

Satan
Une légende court à propos d'un homme qui pourrait retourner la puissance de ses pouvoirs contre son utilisateur. Cet homme aurait un chiffre gravé sur le front : 666.

Vine.co is a new 6-second stop-animation style mobile video sharing 'social network' from Twitter. It's been on the street for about a week now. Of course there are people claiming is stinks, claiming it will replace Facebook (whaaaa?), claiming it has no purpose (fun is a purpose), or will quickly turn into 6-second Chatroulette (already has). There has been a sissy fight between Twitter and Facebook (as usual) that resulted in Vine videos and links to be rejected by Facebook, despite what appeared to be proper API protocol. Welcome to social media!
As with all things in digital media that are new and shiny, I follow the conversations, occasionally lifting my head from within the trenches of actually doing the work to write my own thoughts and observations.
Why is it that Twitter seems to put out products without a clear revenue path? I'm not saying they won't make money from it. I think they will, I just don't know how (if I did I might be working AT Twitter instead of writing about them.) What the more pressing issue for some is how THEY will make money with this new shiny hours old platform.
Well. There you go. Some quick off the top of my head tactics that companies and brands could consider with proper research and strategy. I thought of about 140 ways to use the platform to earn viewers, followers, fans, friends, connections, conversions, clicks, (or even a date – hey are there any marriage proposals on Vine yet? It is almost Valentine's Day!) Of course until we can get STATS on our Vine videos it's pretty useless to brands that only like to measure and forget to experiment and play. Heck, even Instagram and Pinterest feeder sites have this figured out. Someone get on that, will you, Vine is almost a week old!!
The spinoff feeder sites have already popped up (being a coder does have it's first-to-market advantages…) Since Vine is a mobile-only platform for creating, publishing and viewing video content, VinePeek.com allows you to have a very simply look at a constant voyeuristic stream of 6-second videos by complete strangers (as opposed to the complete strangers you follow on social networks). I'm sure they will put ads on their site and make some money.
So now you know what a Vine looks like.
PS – Why don't mobile app companies think ahead to vanity URLs?! There is no reason on Earth that I can't claim Vine.com/LynetteRadio – the same name as the Twitter account it's linked to.

Gluten free raw buckwheat groats are made of organically grown buckwheat that is dried below 39 degrees and hulled using traditional mechanically operated mills. This method preserves natural color, taste and all essential nutrients of the buckwheat.
Raw buckwheat groats do not contain any dirty hulls and can be used straight out of the pack.
Raw buckwheat groats can be roasted, boiled or consumed raw, retaining all the wonderful nutrients found in buckwheat. Perfect for grainy porridge, sprouts (buckwheat sprouts go well in smoothies and salads), salads, added to stews, muesli or granola.
Can be sprouted easily and has a very high sprouting rate. As it is not heat-treated, it remains viable, proven by the fact that it can be sprouted easily.
Sprouted raw buckwheat has the most nutrients. It is a good idea to soak raw buckwheat to kickstart the sprouting process. Buckwheat synthesizes and collects a lot of vitamins, antibiotics, enzymes, phytohormones and other bioactive compounds to grow the sprout.
It is recommended to eat 2-3 tbsp (50 g) of sprouted buckwheat per day. Sprouted buckwheat is most beneficial when consumed in the morning or as a starter, added to soups, porridges, salads and smoothies.

Naha Airport's second runway to open next year
The second runway at Naha Airport, photographed on Dec. 13, 2018, is still under construction.
November 26, 2019 Ryukyu Shimpo
Tokyo, November 26—The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism announced this morning that the second runway under construction at Naha Airport will be operational starting March 26, 2020. A new air traffic control tower designed to accompany the addition of the second runway is also under construction, and will be operational January 15, 2020.
The existing runway at Naha Airport is becoming increasingly congested, as it currently operates over 160,000 entries and exits on a runway with a capacity of 135,000. By adding a second runway, the Japanese government has charted a path to boost Naha Airport's capacity to 240,000.
During the post-cabinet meeting interview the same morning, Minister Kazuyoshi Akaba commented: "We anticipate Naha Airport to serve an even greater role as a connecting hub facilitating the flow of people and goods between Okinawa, other prefectures of Japan and cities abroad. We hope this will contribute to an increase in tourists and enhance convenience." The minister has recently visited the site, and confirmed the construction work is coming along.
