Recent changes to the immunisation schedule include a new pneumococcal vaccine for infants, introduction of the High Risk Pneumococcal programme and the removal of the MeNZB vaccination programme from the schedule. New Zealand appears to be in the early phases of a pertussis epidemic and since the start of 2009 there has been an increased number of confirmed cases of measles.
THERE WERE THREE significant changes to the immunisation schedule in 2008, with the addition of the new pneumococcal and HPV vaccines and the removal of the special MeNZB programme.
In June 2008, the PCV7 (Prevenar®) vaccine was added to the New Zealand immunisation schedule. This vaccine provides protection against the seven most common strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae seen most commonly in infants and implicated in severe pneumococcal disease such as meningitis, septicaemia and pneumonia.
Pneumococcus is also the most common bacterial cause of otitis media in children and a frequent cause of sinusitis and pneumonia in all age groups.
Polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccines such as 23PPV (Pneumovax®23) have been available for many years; however they are not effective in children aged under two years. The introduction of a conjugate pneumococcal vaccine, PCV7 (Prevenar®) will allow for the protection of infants, reducing incidence of disease in the broader community through herd immunity.
It is expected the introduction of the PCV7 vaccine will result in similar benefits in New Zealand to those seen in the United States. Following the introduction of the vaccine in the US in 2000, there was a decline of 85% in invasive pneumococcal disease incidence in young children, and a decline in invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD) in unimmunised adults from the herd immunity effects, created by vaccinating the infants.
Children in New Zealand are offered the PCV7 immunisation at ages six weeks, three months, five months and 15 months.
Children considered at risk of pneumococcal disease may be eligible for the High-risk Pneumococcal Programme. This is a programme aimed at children aged under five years with a chronic condition. Children who meet the criteria are eligible for the PCV7 (pneumococcal conjugate, Prevenar®) vaccine and the 23PPV (pneumococcal polysaccharide, Pneumovax®23) vaccine at the ages recommended in the immunisation schedule.
The MeNZB vaccine was introduced to control an epidemic of a specific strain of Group B meningococcus circulating in New Zealand. There has been a significant sustained decrease in confirmed cases since the completion of the programme in 2006. With the epidemic waning, MeNZB is no longer on the National Immunisation Schedule.
Individuals with HIV infection, who may be safely immunised with meningococcal polysaccharide vaccines.
See BPJ 18 (December 2008) for information on the new HPV vaccine.
There are only a few contraindications to vaccination, these are listed in Table 1.
There are a number of precautions to vaccination.
There is a theoretical risk that the administration of multiple live virus vaccines within four weeks of one another, if not given on the same day, will result in a suboptimal immune response.
Generally, vaccines are not tested in pregnant woman therefore there is little safety data available for this group. However in other countries the use of the influenza vaccines (and others) in pregnant women has been shown to be safe.
Provided there is no history of anaphylaxis, allergies to vaccine components, such as asthma following exposure to feathers or a rash following consumption of eggs, should be treated as a precaution only. A longer period of observation following immunisation may be prudent.
In people with a history of Guillain Barré Syndrome (GBS) within six weeks of previous influenza vaccination, but who are not at high-risk for severe influenza complications, it is prudent to avoid further influenza vaccination.
In people with a history of GBS, but also at high-risk for severe complications from influenza, the established benefits of influenza vaccination justify yearly vaccination.
In most instances, the benefits of vaccination are greater than the potential risks and will justify giving MMR, particularly in view of the even greater risk of thrombocytopenia following measles or rubella disease.
People with haemophilia and related bleeding disorders should be immunised. In some cases of severe haemophilia the vaccine can be given subcutaneously rather than intramuscularly. Prophylaxis should be given on the same day as the vaccine.
New Zealand currently appears to be in the early phases of a pertussis epidemic. Recent surveillance data shows a marked increased in pertussis cases, from 28 cases in February 2008 to 140 cases in February 2009. The highest numbers of cases are being reported from Canterbury, Nelson Marlborough and Waikato DHBs.
New Zealand has a pertussis epidemic every four to five years, with the most recent epidemics in 1999–2001 and 2004. In 2004 alone, 3489 cases were reported. Since 2000 four infants have died from pertussis. Three out of the four were too young to have been immunised.
Minimal maternal protection to pertussis is passed to the foetus and breast-feeding offers very little protection. Infants who are too young to be fully immunised are vulnerable to disease. Their only protection is from other methods such as herd immunity, vaccinating close contacts and avoiding contact with those carrying the bacterium.
It is important to ensure children get their immunisations on time and "catch up" immunisations are offered to those who are overdue. At four years and 11 years children have booster pertussis vaccinations which provide protection through adolescence.
Adults can also be given a pertussis booster vaccine and in particular, close contacts of infants such as parents, grandparents and health professionals, should consider receiving a pertussis booster vaccination.
Management of confirmed cases includes exclusion of the infected person from school or work, until they have received at least five days of a 14-day course of erythromycin, or exclusion for three weeks from the date of onset of typical paroxysms of cough.
When the household includes any child aged less than 12 months, who has received fewer than three doses of pertussis vaccine, then other members of the household should also be given a course of antibiotics (14-day course of erythromycin).
Pertussis is a notifiable disease and it is essential to report suspected and confirmed cases to the local Medical Officer of Health. Collection of a nasopharyngeal swab is indicated in suspected cases.
Since the start of 2009 there has been an increased number of confirmed cases of measles. Between January and March 2009, ESR has recorded a total of 28 confirmed cases - 23 of which were reported in the Otago DHB region. Local data from Public Health South indicates that the number of cases of measles in people aged 4 to 22 years in Otago, since January may be as high as 31. "To put this into perspective, in the whole of the United States there are on average 64 cases of measles a year"–Richard Bunton, Chief Medical Officer, Otago DHB.

The Inov-8 Stormshell waterproof jacket has been around for a few years but it got an updated design in 2017 – so what's it like?
The Stormshell is designed as a lightweight and easily packable jacket for racing and training in wet weather, and it certainly is light. My size Extra Small Men's weighed in at 163g. It packs neatly and easily into its own chest pocket allowing it to be carried in a bumbag or race vest with ease.
Packed size can be seen compared with a £20 note (although the jacket costs considerably more!) and can be compressed even further if needed.
The fit is athletic, it's not designed to be worn over lots of layers making it ideal for racing and faster training and well done to Inov-8 for making it in a size that fits us smaller than average chaps! First glance also shows that weight hasn't simply been saved by doing away with useful features.
The Stormshell now comes with a full length zip rather than as a half zipped smock. This allows greater ventilation, for example when the rain stops but you don't want to take the jacket off. There is also a small press stud just above chest height that prevents the jacket from flapping if it is unzipped in windy conditions.
The external zipped chest pocket (that the jacket packs in to) just about fits a map section if folded small. It could do with being a little bigger to take an A4 laminated map folded in half.
The elasticated cuffs have thumb holes and material that extends to cover the palm and back of the hand thus adding a bit more protection to the hands in cold conditions.
The hem doesn't have a drawcord but is elasticated to prevent the jacket riding up. My biggest complaint with lightweight waterproof jackets usually refers to the hood, i.e. why pay over a hundred pounds for a technical jacket that has a hood that doesn't stay up!? I'm happy to say that I've no complaints about the Stormshell – an elasticated drawcord on the back of the head allows the hood to be tightened nice and snug and a wired peak can be shaped to fit. This means that the whole hood moves with your head when you turn it and you can run into strong winds without the hood blowing down.
The zip comes right up over your mouth so that you can keep out the elements in really bad weather and the Inov-8 logos are reflective making you more visible in the light of a head torch or to vehicles on unlit country lanes.
Material: Pertex Shield 2.5 layer fabric with fully taped seams.
I've worn the new Stormshell whilst running in a variety of conditions including several short runs in the rain and a two and a half hour run in strong winds and frequent heavy showers. I like the fit and features of the jacket particularly the hood which actually stayed up in strong winds. The pocket could do with being a touch bigger to take a folded map. On short runs in the rain I stayed dry with water still beading on the jacket although at the end of the long run my base layer was quite damp in places. However I must add that I have yet to find any waterproof that keeps the rain out and allows sweat to escape whilst running fairly quickly for much more than an hour in heavy rain.
At £170 it's certainly not cheap and I'd be tempted to "save it for best" i.e. use it only for races and specific training runs rather than my everyday winter training jacket. This way I'd hope to prolong its life.
The Inov-8 Stormshell is a lightweight waterproof with some good features. It is ideal for training and racing in bad conditions and as a lightweight race jacket that is going to stay in your pack on dry races.
Posted in Clothing, Equipment, Reviews and tagged inov-8 stormshell, waterproof.
Hi Fell guide, I loved reading the the review and this certainly convinced me to go for this particalar jacket and pants. But I am a bit stuck on the sising for now. Always being on the in between measures of S and M I wonder how you felt about the sizing i. e. does the XS fit your chest and height size well?
I'm only 5'3″ and 36″ chest and the XS is a good fit. Best thing to do is try it on or see if you can buy both the small and medium and send one of them back.

SOPA: Back from the Dead?
While all this remains speculation at this early stage of development it remains a disturbing turn of events. I can't know Lieberman's mind, but if this truly is SOPA/Kill Switch under a new name then it would seem that the congressman has abandoned any intent of actually representing his constituency. The American people have been clear in their opposition to SOPA and internet censoring; however, despite SOPA's failure in the face of popular opposition Lieberman seems intent on making every attempt to pass legislation that the populace at large does not want. Every public servant who would press on with this kind of legislation betrays the American people – whether the price of their treachery be to win the favor of special-interest groups or their own arrogant ideology who can say.
This isn't Right versus Left; Democrats and Republicans have no qualms when it comes to bipartisanship on a multitude of issues but when it comes to working with the American people? Well, politicians like Lieberman seem intent on fighting the populace to the very grave. Our ruling class at large has made it quite clear that they consider the common man their greatest opposition – which is sad since we're the very ones that they're historically meant to represent and fight for, not against.
Today, when websites across the internet are undergoing voluntary "blackout" in protest of SOPA and PIPA, I urge you to contact your federal legislators and tell them that you want them to oppose these bills. SOPA and PIPA, in an attempt to address piracy issues on the internet, takes a sledgehammer to the first amendment – threatening to censor thousands of pages of information should a website post or even merely link to a single page that infringes upon copyrights. While piracy is wrong, to throw out the first amendment to fight it is absurd. Read about the bills yourself here.

The Angolan Government has been taking several steps towards a fair and effective regulatory system that will govern customs. The UK's Crown Agents were engaged to assist the Angolan Government with the modernisation of Angola's custom and excise service. Although the customs part of importing has been transformed, the end-to-end process is still long and bureaucratic, with consignments taking on average 38 days. For further information, please contact UKTI Angola (See the 'Resources' section).
Getting your goods to market
Getting goods to the market can be a difficult and complex exercise in Angola. For this reason we advise companies to seek help and conduct market research in order to identify, examine, and understand the operational distribution network. There are a few main product distributors in Angola. A possible solution during the early stages could involve establishing a partnership and then perhaps finding ways of identifying new effective distribution methods and start operating through these.
Legislation and local regulations
The legal system in Angola is weak and fragmented and based on the Portuguese and Customary Law system. Courts operate in only a fraction of 164 municipalities and the Supreme Court serves as the final appellate tribunal. Understanding the system is difficult for the layman or novice and professional advice should always be sought. Although these factors tend to inhibit the pace of investment, the Angolan Government is making efforts to improve the situation. The following summary has been provided by PwC (Angola), and further information is available from the Embassy:
Registration process – The incorporation/registration of a company/branch starts with the application for recognition of the foreign investor status, if there are foreign investors (the foreign company in the case of branch registration and the shareholders if incorporating an Angolan company) at the National Private Investment Agency (ANIP). ANIP is the entity responsible for approval and recognition of the status of foreign investors, through the issue of the investment certificate. For the approval of the investment project, investors should provide ANIP with a set of documents and information that indicates the purposes of setting up the operation in Angola. When the investment project is approved by ANIP several procedures must be followed such as: issuance of License to Import Capital (LIC), opening bank account, importation of funds, deposit of the articles of association / public deed of incorporation, commercial, tax and statistical registrations and licensing of activity.
Foreign investment – The Angolan investment legislation establishes a regime for private investment in Angola, carried out by nationals or foreigners, including the requirements to benefit from incentives and other opportunities conceded by the government. Considering that the "company", a foreign entity, intends to register an Angolan business vehicle and that such operation qualifies, under the investment legislation, as an investment operation, it will be required to get an approval from ANIP (the government private investment agency). The minimum amount for foreign investments is US$1 million in order to benefit from taxation incentives and repatriation of profits. On the other hand, and for projects which investment values exceeds US$5 million, the process to get the approval requires the celebration of an investment contract with the Angolan Government, which is ultimately approved by the Angolan Council of Ministers.
Documentation – Angola prides itself on their administrative procedures. Documentation is required for every process and many procedures require the intervention of a number of government agencies. For this reason, UKTI advises companies to consult local recognised law firms in order to seek assistance when dealing with the bureaucratic maze that is the Angolan regulatory framework.
Labelling and packaging regulations – INADEC is a government institution created with the purpose of protecting the consumer. One of their main objectives is to ensure that products are labelled with the right information that the consumer must be aware of and packed in accordance with international health and safety law. For more detailed information companies are advised to contact INADEC in order to find out what they consider material facts and therefore should be outlined to consumers in a form of labelling.

Responding to Tenders
Companies are usually advised to respond to tenders directly. The local UKTI team is always available to clarify, provide advice or information about the way companies should respond to tenders. In their response it is important for companies to clearly outline their existence in the market, because it enhances their credibility and provides their local contacts.
Sanctions and Embargoes
Some countries may be subject to export restrictions due to sanctions and embargoes placed on them by the UN or EU. Exporting companies are responsible for checking that their goods can be exported and that they are using the correct licences.
Further information is available at: www.gov.uk/beginners-guide-to-export-controls#introduction
Recruiting and Retaining Staff
Under the local content umbrella the Angolan Government expects foreign and national companies to prioritise local labour, which essentially means they have to exhaust all the recruitment methods for a certain period of time before recruiting externally. For each company, there is in place a 70/30 split requirement for the employment of local staff. However, the Angolan Government recognises the fact that there is a huge deficit of skilled technical and professional personnel, a reason why several companies are forced to recruit expatriate staff reasonably skilled to match their needs. This is an area of primary concern for the Angolan authorities and the government favours companies that embrace the local content guidelines, which also assists in the transfer of skills and knowledge to Angolans.
Retaining staff in Angola can be challenging for several reasons, but salary is a key consideration. The market is extremely competitive for reliable skilled labour and therefore companies tend to recruit and retain their staff especially after investing in them with training programmes, but due to the level of demand within the market, those paying better salaries and offering better conditions are more likely to retain their staff and attract others.
Legislation on employment of expatriates
Foreign workers are not protected under the Labour Law but do receive legal protection if they work under contract. Otherwise they receive protection only against criminal acts. Work permits are granted by Angolan consular authorities with the authorisation of the Angolan Immigration Authorities (SME) and the Ministry of Labour. This type of visa is valid for multiple entries and enables a person to stay in the country for one year, renewable for similar periods, for the term of the contract.
The government has established a 41.5 hour working week. All employees must be registered for social security and must contribute 3% of salary; the employer contributes 8%. However, a foreign worker has the option of not contributing towards the social security scheme if they can produce evidence that they already contribute towards a foreign scheme and/or have life insurance. Women are entitled to 90 days maternity leave at full pay.
New Private Investment Law
The Angolan Government has enacted a new Private Investment Law (NPIL), Law 14/15 of 11 August 2015, which replaces the former law no.20/11 of 20 May 2011.
The aim of this new law is to increase the volume of private investment (domestic and foreign) in coordination with the National Development Plan 2013-2017 and make the investment procedure simple and with less bureaucracy. It also establishes the general basis of private investment in Angola, including special economic zones, free trade zones, development areas and other areas subject to specific regulations. Most importantly it allows foreign investors to make investments below US$1 million, entitling them to repatriate profits, dividends and other investment income.
For full details of the NPIL, and advice on how it can help your business in-market, please contact UKTI in Luanda (see the 'Resources' section in this guide).

Would you spend 4 or 5 times more for a disk than you spent for your Apple computer? That's right, $5,300 for an Apple compatible disk. It may sound like a lot of money, but it might be money well spent if you've got large data files or many programs.
The Computer Store of Destin, Florida recently received their first Corvus 11A disc drive. The owner liked it so much that he took it home!
I've used the unit but most of the following information is based upon interviewing Gary Workman, the store owner. I'll tell you what the Corvus disc is, some of its physical specifications and our experience with the unit. If you run a business or do large data reduction programming, you'll find it worth investigating.
The disc unit itself is a space age enclosure of black metal and dark plexiglas. A round wire cable connects the drive to its power supply. A ribbon cable connects the drive to an interface board in the Apple. The interface board plugs into a slot just like most other Apple peripherals. Since the Corvus only occupies one slot, the Apple can still accommodate floppy discs.
High speed is another positive feature of the Corvus. I couldn't accurately measure the difference between the Corvus and the floppy, but I'd guess the Corvus is more than ten times faster in both read and write. This means that serial or random access searches of large data bases become really practical.
One of the most impressive of the Corvus disc features is its capacity. It is equivalent to 82 standard Apple discs: 9.6 megabytes are on line. Each of the 82 volumes are identical in size to an Apple floppy diskette. What is almost as impressive is that this capacity is packed into two moderate sized boxes. One contains the drive (an IMI 7710 "Winchester" hard disc) and drive electronics. It measures 8¼ × 6 × 18 inches. The other box is the power supply which is 4 × 5¼ × 15½ inches.
Documentation is, as usual in new computer products, a weak point. Eight pages, including the limited warranty, were all that came with the unit. Gary was able to get the thing up and running but a couple of calls to the manufacturer were required. Newer units are supposed to come with more complete documentation. In any case, be sure you're familiar with Apple's 3.2 DOS before you jump in. You can't hurt the disc but you sure can hurt your data.
On the positive side of the documentation issue is the excellent telephone help and complete compatability with Apple software.
Another nice feature is the aforementioned complete compatibility with Apple DOS. The Corvus is completely transparent to the user. The volume number in the Apple I/O commands selects the disc volume just like the slot number does with multiple floppy drives. The only software difference is a new command, "CATALOG V99" lists the first program name from each volume. Auto boot is also available.
Gary's Corvus disc has been in use for two weeks with no operating problems. The device incorporates several safety mechanisms so that "head crashes" are apparently a thing of the past. An auto-write-stop feature on power loss is just one of these.
When this unit was ordered they were quoting 2-3 weeks for delivery. Gary's took a month. Delivery now looks like two weeks. This may change as their sales increase.
My only strong dislike is the power switch. It is located on the power supply. The power supply is massive and looks out of place among all the other sleek computer parts. It's unfortunate the power supply can't be hidden somewhere.
The Corvus seems an ideal mass memory device for a business, professional, or other interest requiring large information storage. Its price is steep for strictly hobby use. But for those who can afford it, or need it, it really helps make a small computer into The Big Apple.

...yeah, one that sucked.
I'm hoping that popular demand has caused them to go back to the stuff they had the season before, which was brilliant.

wonder if they'll switch to green and gold, as they'll be the farm team of both the minnesota wild and the dallas stars next season?
I hope they go back to the uniforms they had in the 2002-2003 season. The jerseys looked really great and that's what made them stand out. I especially love the green jersey. You don't see enough of those jerseys on the ice!! ( also love them because we use it in our rec league!! )

to be from the other point of view, i actually liked the new logo they introduced last year. maybe what they will do is re-color the old logo w/ the new colors, just like every team (well, it seems like every team) in the NBA is doing.

I loved the old IHL Aeros logo. It kicked ass. They should wise up and go back to that design. But, we all know that probably won't happen. Hell they won a Turner Cup and a Calder Cup with that logo. That's tradition!

the Mild colors don't fit with teh Aeros. this...this...this just plain wrong in my eyes
serious...this is just wrong.
oh... my... god...
even the stars farm team wears mooterus colors now......... i'm so scared the dallas stars are going to incorporate red into their uniforms full-time in the coming years, and that would break my heart.

This is horrible. NO creativity at all. At least they were ripping off the WHA Aeros last year. That was a nice, simple classic design.
Here's what's puzzling me..... where do the Dallas Stars fit into all this?
if shawn belle has to wear a f***ing minnesota wild logo on his shoulders next season, i'm not going to be a happy camper...

Location: Atlanta
They took a blank Minnesota Wild jersey and slapped their logo on it... Bah gawd, even I could do a better job than that... Hell, anybody else on this board could do a better job than that because we actually have CREATIVITY!!! Anybody could've taken that logo and ran with it, but NOOOOOOOOO they had to rip off a team that doesn't even have that decent a look... That's a shame what they did
More ORANGE!
Location: Toronto, ON, Canada
That hurts... A nice original logo wasted on "stock" jerseys?
Not enough money in the coffers to pay for a shirt to be built from scratch?
who said a farm team needs to match their parent?
At least the Bulldogs have a shirt that carries a winning tradition.
Isn't gold common to both the Stars and Wild? Why isn't there any in the F-18, even if it were only the missiles, and maybe the cockpit.
Stitched directly onto the Jersey?
Anybody can explain the reasoning? any technical explanation? why not screenprint it while you're at it?

They probably didn't want to do too much to the Aeros as the Wild will most likely be "taking off" and "landing" in Des Moines, IA next season, as is the rumor.
If that's the case they definitely suceeded in not doing too much.
I love the part about SP designing and producing the jerseys. Wow, how long did it take to copy the Wild template and put the logo on the shoulders?

Andy Burnham announces new campaign to get Greater Manchester moving
On 3 May, Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham announced plans for That Counts!, an ambitious campaign that aims to get two million people in Greater Manchester moving by 2021.
In his opening speech at the Greater Manchester Moving conference, plans were revealed for a GM Moving campaign created to get residents across all ten boroughs of the city-region involved.
Mayor Andy Burnham said:
"Greater Manchester residents are already taking great strides to become more active – and we're tackling inactivity three times faster than the national average. We've got a lot to celebrate, but there's still some way to go and barriers we can start to tackle as a community. That Counts! will be an active, engaging and fun campaign that shows it doesn't matter what you do, or how you do it, there are loads of ways to make movement count.
"Being active isn't about sweating buckets or pumping iron, it's about every day activities and getting moving at a time, and in a way, that works for you. Whether that's walking to the next bus stop, taking the stairs, or going out for a lunchtime stroll, just getting up and getting moving is what counts."
Whatever way people choose to do it, moving more can improve health and wellbeing. In the long-term it also helps protect against serious health conditions like cancer, heart disease and stroke. A target audience for That Counts! includes people with long-term health conditions.
When it launches, That Counts! will be seen across Greater Manchester. It is being designed to encourage adults and children in Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan to move more and share ways to get active in everyday life.
Helen-Louise Smith, Marketing and Communications Manager at GM Moving, said:
"We've spoken to people from many walks of life across Greater Manchester, to get a picture of how active we are as a community and importantly, the barriers to us moving more.
"This isn't about hassling, or shaming, it's about recognising different ways we can try to get moving more and feeling miles better for it. The That Counts! message will show that you can choose to move in your own way – dancing around your kitchen, jumping in muddy puddles with the kids, or running for the bus, it all counts!"
Lisa Fathers, Director of Alliance for Learning Teaching School, part of the Bright Futures Educational Trust, commented:
"At the heart of local communities, schools have a powerful role to play in the That Counts! campaign. Encouraging young people to take an interest in everyday movement and being active early on in their lives can have positive lasting effects, not only for their physical and mental health, but also their academic performance, setting them up for the future journey ahead."
Activity Alliance's Marketing and Communications Manager, Sarah Brown-Fraser, who also sits on GreaterSport board, was delighted to be involved in the campaign's development. Sarah's priority was to ensure That Counts! considers the principles in inclusive and accessible marketing.
"While we're awake, thousands of messages are being thrown at us to entice us to take actions, including being active. But if you have barriers to those messages or they don't resonate, you may end up thinking – they're not considering me, so it's obviously not for me.
"Despite advances in technology, there are still a number of different factors preventing groups of people or individuals from receiving communication campaigns. That's why this campaign is so interesting in involving more people, in an inclusive and accessible way. That Counts!"
Many organisations have already pledged their support for GM Moving – a comprehensive plan to reduce inactivity. It involves GMCA, the NHS in Greater Manchester and Sport England, with support from local leisure facilities, major sports clubs, community groups, charities and the education sector. All of which have a shared goal - to help people living locally to get more active.
Active Lives data shows that Greater Manchester (GM) is already moving in the right direction, with a 1.7% increase in adults going from 'inactive' to 'fairly active'or 'active' over the past three years; an increase of more than 59,000 people.
While activity levels in the region are improving, there's still some way to go, as the data shows that over a quarter (27%) of GM adults are 'inactive', getting less than 30 minutes of exercise per week.
New research also found that two-thirds of the city-region's residents (67%) want to be more active than they already are.
However, the independent survey found that many people living in the region find it difficult to get active enough, with one in four (25%) not having enough time in their weekly routine, nearly a third (32% ) feeling too tired and more than a quarter (26%) saying the region's weather puts them off.
Guidelines suggest that where possible, adults should aim for 150 minutes of activity a week (2.5 hours, or about 20 minutes a day) and children should be active for one hour a day (that's 7 hours a week). A starting point ('fairly active') can be to get more than 30 minutes a week (more than 30 minutes a day for children).
More information on That Counts! will be released over the coming months.

University Of Missouri Failed To Investigate Reported Rape, Victim Later Commits Suicide
The University of Missouri did not investigate or tell law enforcement officials about an alleged rape, possibly by one or more members of its football team, despite administrators finding out about the alleged 2010 incident more than a year ago, an "Outside the Lines" investigation has found. The alleged victim, a member of the swim team, committed suicide in 2011.
For most of 2010, Missouri swimmer Sasha Menu Courey harbored a secret: She believed she'd been raped by a football player. Late that year, her life spiraling downward, Menu Courey began to share her secret with others, including a rape crisis counselor and a campus therapist, records show. In the ensuing months, a campus nurse, two doctors and, according to her journal, an athletic department administrator also learned of her claim that she had been assaulted.

State Rep. Paul Workman (right) and Travis County Commissioner Brigid Shea (standing) spoke to attendees at a May 8 meeting of the Steiner Ranch Neighborhood Association about issues of congestion along RM 620.
This road configuration of RM 1431 in Cedar Park shows what RM 620 is expected to look like in the future with a divided, six-lane road in the busiest parts of RM 620.
Several key meetings held in May aimed to shed light on proposed funding and fixes for congestion and road safety problems along RM 620 between Mansfield Dam and U.S. Highway 183. Residents shared concerns, asked questions and urged the Capital Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO) to take action to relieve traffic congestion during meetings with local, area and state officials.
CAMPO failed to approve any additional funding for the northern section of RM 620 at its May 7 meeting despite hearing from a large contingent of area residents. The following night, the Steiner Ranch Neighborhood Association near from SRNA chairman Brian Thompto on the issue, as he related to attendees the events of the previous night's CAMPO meeting.
"While we dominated the feedback at CAMPO... when I saw the numbers I was appalled," Thompto said.
Local area residents responded to a call to action and bombarded CAMPO with comments, providing approximately 75 percent, or 225, of the 300 comments CAMPO received.
However, Thompto expressed frustration that a Steiner Ranch area community of more than 14,000 generated only 225 comments.
"Everyone in this community will spend hours complaining about traffic. But they can't take five minutes to send an email," Thompto said.
State Rep. Paul Workman and Travis County Commissioner Brigid Shea were in attendance at the SRNA meeting.
"Democracy works. When people show up, and when people send in some 300 letters and communications, which is way more than CAMPO ever gets, it does make a difference," Shea said.
What also makes a difference appears to be the ability to bring political clout, representation and funding to the table, as did Lakeway and Bee Cave. Those communities garnerd $59 million in funding for their own 620 south project in the latest round of CAMPO funding. The cities of Lakeway and Bee Cave each committed $5 million to the project.
Generating matching funds is more challenging for areas without local governance and existing outside the Austin city limits. Shea and Workman represent the Four Points area, as does Austin City Council member Jimmy Flannigan. A portion of the RM 620 path to U.S. 183 is also represented by State Rep. Tony Dale of Cedar Park.
That stretch of roadway crosses three congressional districts. U.S. Representatives John Carter, Roger Williams and Michael McCaul, who are all running for re-election this November, all represent areas along RM 620 between Mansfield Dam and U.S. 183.
According to Shea, Texas Department of Transportation communicated that one of the reasons they chose not to tackle the northern section of RM 620 with this round of funding was that there were no matching funds available as there were on the south end of RM 620.
Shea added, however, that she spoke to both the city and the county and neither were approached by TxDOT for matching funds, as they are allowed to do to boost funding for road projects.
"It wasn't that they asked us and we declined. They didn't ask us," said Shea.
In 2012, the SRNA partnered with 10 different neighborhoods to push TxDOT to author a traffic study on local traffic and safety issues. Results of that study was published last February and identified several projects to address congestion.
"A corridor study is not considered a project," Thompto said. "We now have to turn a corridor study into a project. A project is a defined scope of work that has a dollar amount attached to it and has a sponsor who is going to be willing to pay for it... This is just how government works."
Upcoming projects include road resurfacing, which TxDOT began ahead of schedule at Mansfield Dam after a recent spate of accidents. That project is expected to be by the end of June and will feature a new surface made of a more permeable material that channels rainwater from the roadway into side gullies instead of pooling on the road itself.
Construction will also begin this summer on a half-mile bypass between RM 620 and RM 2222 to help alleviate traffic near the entrance to Vandegrift High School. That project was planned in 2014 and funded in 2016.
At a March 20 SRNA meeting that included officials from Lake Travis Fire Rescue, Travis County Sheriff's Department and TxDOT, a staff member from Rep. Workman's office made recommendations to TxDOT to install raised concrete barriers along the length of RM 620 between Steiner Ranch and RM 2222, as well as on RM 2222 and the bypass road when it's built.
TxDOT responded to the recommendation on April 5, stating that most proposed barriers were not feasible or required further study, but that they would be providing a raised concrete barrier between Steiner Ranch Boulevard at RM 620 through to the entrance of the bypass road once built. A date and funding have not yet been secured for such a project.
While these smaller fixes are in the works, the next step after the bypass is a significantly larger project which would widen RM 620, adding four express toll lanes and potentially an elevated section similar to Hwy. 183.
The estimated cost of the "big fix" will be upwards of $400 million.
Until then, Thompto anticipates that in its next round of funding — expected to take place in approximately 18 months — CAMPO will take up the issue of northern RM 620, although likely the section near Anderson Mill Road.
The Austin-Round Rock MSA was the ninth fastest growing region in the U.S. in 2017, growing by nearly 400,000 new residents across the metropolitan area over that time frame.
While traffic in the Four Points area is challenging, Workman reminded the audience at the meeting last week that the northern RM 620 corridor isn't even on the top 100 list of most congested roadways in the Austin metropolitan area. The segment of RM 620 near Anderson Mill Road is the closest to that top 100 list, at number 143.
"We are working, trying to do what we can to get this done," said Thompto. "It's a bureaucracy. It's always been, and it's hard to get things done quickly."


I looked around. The trees around the park were perfectly still as if time had stopped, as if every second of the afternoon were held in a single moment: [...] players jumping for the ball, their feet suspended in mid-air, the goalkeeper's hands rising above their floating hair; the ball hanging over them like a perfect moon. And everything around us: the crease of the corner flag, the wind-sculpted trees, the child's swing at the top of its arc, the water from the drinking fountain bubbling towards the lips of the woman bent down to drink, the cyclist leaning into the curve of the path, a plane stalled in the sky, someone's thrown tennis ball a small yellow planet in the distance.
This is the most extreme instance in the novel of attempting to stop time, to freeze its flow into a moment. Geoff Dyer is surely a writer of the moment: of ecstatic moments as in Paris Trance (1998); of the 'ongoing moment' of photography. His first novel has the distinction of being about the moment in two senses at once. It's a book about a historical moment – understanding the word as a more circumscribed, specified, punctual version of historical period or conjuncture. But it conveys that historical moment through a sequence of moments, in the more miniature sense of the word. One of the novel's epigraphs reads: 'There are happy moments but no happy periods in history'. We may paraphrase that to say that the historical moment of the novel is not happy, but the local, transitory moments it snatches from time can be.
I came across The Colour of Memory at the beginning of this century, 2000: actually when I was trying to put together a course on UK fiction of 1980s and 1990s. There were some more famous names and titles lined up or available. But I wanted something to go very early in the course, to represent something that was hard to find precisely represented in fiction – an alternative view of the 1980s in Britain, one that wasn't about success and money, even in a satirical way. There were fictions of postindustrial Britain and people struggling to survive – James Kelman, Pat Barker. Those have their own value. But I was looking for something else, which would speak more of an everyday experience of the alternative 1980s; a 1980s that I myself could remember from childhood in London, an age of GLC festivals and CND posters. And in The Colour of Memory, I just about found it – a novel in which characters go to the Country Fair in Brockwell Park in 1987 and walk around stalls for the Nicaraguan Solidarity Campaign, the Anti-Apartheid group and the El Salvador support group, 'all selling T-shirts and pamphlets, badges and books' (217-8). The green, black and gold flag of the ANC flutters above Brixton Town Hall (178).
It wasn't the general use of a sport as a resource that struck me – sport here a way of describing afresh the narrator's limited horizons, his perhaps very Dyeresque desire for uneventfulness – but the specificity of the imagined vignette. Everton? I could still recite you most of that Everton team, who were at their quite brief peak in the period in which the novel takes place. Quite likely a few years later, when the first Howard Kendall era was past, Dyer wouldn't have mentioned them in this role. Sport too has its temporary conjunctures.
Then again the time of the novel, at the turn of the millennium, still felt recent: much of what it described didn't seem to have passed on. Even now, that is extensively the case: partly because the life described in the novel is more one that tries to stand aside from history, to get out of the way of the steamroller of time, than to chase it into the changes of the future.
I think that this novel, as long as it retains people's interest, will invoke a sense of time, in a concrete rather than an abstract sense: a time, that time, the time of your life, a lifetime: the experience of time filled with content, matter, or memory. Until one day, perhaps beyond all our lifetimes, when this experience of London, or youth, is no longer recognizable, it will finally be historical in another sense: its Brixton exotically distant like the Austin Friars of Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall (2009).
I invoked the phrase counting backwards because I'm trying to reach back towards the text and its time. But also because that's the central structural action of the novel itself. It is formed of 60 segments, starting 060, ending 000 – with an italicized coda that falls outside the countdown, and an italicized introductory line that is taken from that coda. The count has actually subtly shifted lately: revising the 2012 Canongate reissue, Dyer stripped out an entire long chapter, 030, meaning that the remainder are now each one number higher than they were, and the book ends with 001 not 000. We don't reach zero hour in the new edition, then, but otherwise the principle is the same. What does it mean? Why is the novel shaped this way?
The book gives us its own gloss on the principle. The narrator thinks back to an afternoon in Paris, with his friend Freddie.
A few observations on this.
1: the whole image of the Pompidou clock is a memory – it's introduced with the words 'I thought back to an afternoon [...] a couple of years ago'. This is quite a characteristic maneouvre in this novel which is so explicitly about memory: an act of remembering that gives the author an extra, earlier space in which to spread events and ideas. As the memory is specifically about time, it also has a self-referring or self-interfering character: the clock will have counted down an awful lot more seconds since the last time the narrator looked at it.
2: plainly this vignette is a commentary on the novel itself. It is as though the narrator is describing the novel, while not admitting it; as though he doesn't realize that he exists within a textual structure that is analogous to the clock he is describing. It's logically possible to think that the narrator is aware of the parallel, as the novel is presented as a discovered manuscript in a notebook. But if so, he isn't going to point it out to us: he can let it stand in its own obviousness. It seems pointed that the Pompidou clock at the moment the characters witness it ends with the digits 060: surely a reference to the novel's own starting point of section 060, but a curiously discreet one, tucked away in the official, neutral- looking realm of number. I doubt that many readers, first time through this novel, have seen its structure encoded in those three digits.
3: the narrator sees a 'new kind of time' in the fact of counting down, not piling up. Reduction, not addition, is the preferred model of temporal organization that the clock reveals. This countdown to nothing, he says, is empty, yet it also means 'pure anticipation' – which sounds powerful, a principle of narrative compulsion or at least of readerly attention. Transfer this to the novel. Why count down, 060 to 000, rather than up from 000 or 001? Well, if we counted up, we wouldn't know how far it was going. Once 060 has reached 059 and 058, it seems likely that we are heading down to zero. It's hard to explain this, but it would seem counterintuitive, a wilful frustration, to organize such a countdown and stop it at 033 or 014. The countdown thus implies a certain knowable form, a scale that quietly communicates itself to the reader from an early stage: which Dyer may have wanted precisely to counteract the otherwise relatively non-narrative, apparently formless quality of the book. As a principle of order, the countdown is arbitrary and abstract. It scarcely contains any meaning or value judgement. It amounts, as the narrator says, to pure anticipation.
The clock's tick-tock I take to be a model of what we call a plot, an organization that humanizes time by giving it form; and the interval between tock and tick represents purely successive, disorganized time of the sort that we need to humanize. Later I shall be asking whether, when tick-tock seems altogether too easily fictional, we do not produce plots containing a good deal of tock-tick; such a plot is that of Ulysses.
Frank Kermode, The Sense of an Ending: Studies in the Theory of Fiction (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1966), p.45.
Kermode seems to say that to break from reassuring tick-tock into the comparatively disorientating movement tock-tick is analogous to a break from conventional narrative into modernism: 'purely successive, disorganized time'. That last phrase might not be a bad description of the time of The Colour of Memory – though I take it that the Parisian clock invoked by Dyer's narrator doesn't go tick-tock or tock-tick but just tick ... tick ... tick. Or indeed click ... click ... click. Which may be to the point: in this novel, the countdown marks time, grants a modicum of purely abstract structure, but doesn't correspond to the narrative back & forth, up & down, implied by Kermode's clock.
The countdown, I have said, ends at 000, or now 001, in the autumn of 1987, about 15 months after the book began. Two characters are in a park witnessing the aftermath of the great storm of that October, making this one of, and quite likely the first of, a select group of novels to take on that meteorological event and make it a narrative event too. (One example: the storm is the primary literal source of the title of Tim Lott's Rumours of a Hurricane , a novel much more explicitly about Thatcherism.) The last line of the last section reads: 'We walked back through the waste ground, fires dying all around us' (250).
This coda may have an unnerving effect on the reader of The Colour of Memory. It takes the whole novel that we have just read – savouring descriptions, observations and jokes – and places it at one remove. The novel of Brixton is a text within a text: an allegedly found manuscript like that of numerous eighteenth-century novels, or Flann O'Brien's The Poor Mouth (1941), or many others. It is customary enough to bracket this bracketing – to experience the text within a text primarily as just a text, to forget the factitious framing that started the book with a fictional Editor's Introduction or the like. In this case, the effect is slightly different as the framing really only emerges at the end. A wrench is involved in having the main narrative thus distanced from us at the last.
But more than this, Dyer spreads confusion. We are now to think of the whole narrative as written by Freddie – who has repeatedly and often appeared as a main character within it. Freddie was writing Freddie, as a figure in the third person: something of a figure of fun, in fact, who tends to wisecrack his way through scrapes and disappointments. But he is also emotionally acclaimed within the novel, shortly after he has been mugged, as the friend whom the narrator has known the longest, the one whose friendship, with unique benevolence, exerts no pressure (165). So, the logic goes, he has written a manuscript notionally narrated by a friend of his, in which he himself emerges as a benign alter ego. This narrator, we might think, is supposed to be based on the very person, the friend of Freddie, who narrates the italicized coda and discovers the manuscript. This last voice, perhaps, is the person who has been fictionalized into Freddie's narrator – which means, in effect, that the same figure narrates the whole book, first as Freddie's creation, then briefly under his own steam.
It was commissioned as something loosely termed 'The Brixton Diaries' in the hope that the life my friends and I were leading in a particular area of south London at a particular time (the mid-to late-1980s) might have an interest that was more than local and personal. Gradually I saw a way of using and shaping the material in a slightly different way, in a form that would deploy it to better, more personal ends (I invented a sister for myself, or for my narrator, rather) and, hopefully, more lasting effect. A couple of years ago I said somewhere that 'I like to write stuff that is only an inch from life – but all the art is in that inch'. The importance of that inch – and the fun to be had within it – first made itself apparent in these pages.
Geoff Dyer, 'Note on revised edition', The Colour of Memory (Edinburgh: Canongate, 2012), n.p.
Note that here, looking back after over 20 years, Dyer doesn't draw much distinction between 'myself' and 'my narrator': he has to remind himself to do it. That is an indication that the 'Freddie's manuscript' conceit is less a deep structural clue to the narrator's true self, more a piece of deliberate narrative interference aimed at making things less straightforward than they seem.
[The characters] are receptacles for urban lore. No one of them maps to any other one person; rather there are dozens of people who rightly feel a claim on those characters, because they see parts of themselves and their experiences reflected in those characters.
Jonathan Lethem (2005), in Interviews with Jonathan Lethem ed. by Jaime Clarke (Jackson: University Press of Mississippi, 2011), p.91.
Dyer dedicated the book to my south London friends, and in the novel he writes of a time in life 'when you do not form friendships but are formed by them, when there is no difference between having good friends and being a good friend' (165). Perhaps in writing a novel that seemed to express himself, he also wanted to smudge the boundaries of self. To name one last precursor: Virginia Woolf was a London writer of co-consciousness, of the invisible threads between people, and the mystery of what she called 'living in one another'. In a Woolfian gesture, The Colour of Memory suggest that sometimes, which might be the best times, we live through each other.

Today BioWare announced the release of a Java framework called orbit that will make online services more secure, scalable online services, and distribution control. The great thing about Orbit is that it's now open source, available to any coder who wants to develop it.
Prior to release, Orbit was used for Dragon Age Keep and Dragon Age: Inquisition. BioWare plans to use Orbit in future next-generation projects but the decision to make it open source is driven by a an inspiration and a desire to collaborate with the wider open source community. For those Java users out there, BioWare is looking for feedback on their project, so be sure to check it out and tell them what you think of it!

Dressing for a space-age escapade to Mars with Nanette Lepore for FW13. The collection held true to its feminine appeal, but the mission driven looks had a more structured statement to make. There was a healthy dose of mixable ensembles and dresses.
Military greens and exposed zippers made sense without taking over. Prints, all over, or on a blouse paired with pants added an earthiness on one hand, and a bright punch in the other. Leathers made sense and revealed a little tough girl underneath is all with sturdiness, as did outerwear meant for an active lifestyle.
Flashy accessories complimented the fashions and lent a back to the future boost. The holographic leather belts, bags, and shoes wowed in sea green hues or shades of dusty pink.


Chapters 21-24 provide us with the final image of David. Like so much of his life, it is a mixed bag. Complicated stories, deep friendships and honest prayer before God.
At the center of this image are David's final words, a psalm. And in that psalm four titles which have come to define David: psalmist, anointed, exalted, and son. Those titles walk leave us with the final image of David; a life of integrity; a man after God's own heart.


What kind of paint does IndyFab use?
Your bike is painted with the same high quality PPG paint that is usedin the painting of most show quality custom hotrods, sports cars and motorcycles. But, unlike cars, bicycles take a lot of abuse from being leaned up against parking meters and, in the case of mountain and cyclocross bikes, running into rocks, stumps and brush. Even after the curing process is fully completed (about 6 weeks) scratches and/or chips in the paint can happen, road debris, roof rack transport, wild animals, clumsy friends, etc.. can all have a negative impact on your frame's painted surface, it is not bulletproof either but, after the six week curing period is over, you can do your best to protect the frame's finish with the application of a liquid or paste wax.
If does not sell touch up paint. If you do damage the paint, you can obtain touch up paint from any auto supply store (call IF for thePPG reference number). Alternatively, you can use Testors model paint(available in most hobby shops) or nail polish (available at most drugand department stores). Before applying any touch up paint, be sure to clean the affected area with denatured alcohol to remove any oil or wax so that the touch up paint will adhere properly, do not use nail polish remover or acetone at any time, this WILL damage your paint. Light scratches can often be removed by the use of a light grade of automobile rubbing compound available in all auto parts stores. Use it sparingly as you will be rubbing a portion of thepainted surface away. Once the scratch is removed, you can restore the polish by the application of liquid or paste wax.
How do I care for the seat tube on my steel IF frame?
Because of the increased strength of the new steel alloys we have been able to reduce the wall thickness of our tubing substantially, saving you more weight than ever on our current line up of custom steel frames. But, due to this reduction in wall thickness of the tubing, we must be alert to the possibility of corrosion. To battle rust on the inside of the tubes we actually fabricate the frame to be completely sealed from the elements, with the exception of the seat tube. Although we ream the seat tube to exacting tolerances water can still find its way into the seat tube, either through the top of the seat post or (via capillary action) between the seat post and the seat tube. To protect the internal surface of the seat tube we treat it with 3M Rustfighter 1 Internal Panel Coating prior to shipping the frame to you. Although this is the best product available for this application IT IS NOT A PERMANENT METHOD OF CORROSION PREVENTION AND SHOULD BE RENEWED PERIODICALLY.
WARNING: Seat tubes that have a serious rust problem due to lack of proper maintenance will not be covered under our warranty. Remember: your frame is made of steel, steel rusts, protect it if you want it to last.
What required maintenance does my new frame need?
Remove the seat post and leave the bicycle upside down overnight so that the seat tube can drain and dry. This is best done in a warm and dry environment not a cold damp basement. We recommend hanging your bike from the front wheel when not in use, just for safety's sake.
Before reinserting the seat post make sure that the interior is dry and spray an even coating of, J.P. Weigle's Frame Saver or its equivalent into the seat tube. Make sure to cover the entire inner surface of the seat tube.
Apply a light layer of grease to the seat post before you re-install it into your frame.

299. In £13, how many dollars, cents and mills ?
Now, as the pound has different values in different places, the annount in Federal Money will vary according to those values. In England, $1=4s. 6d=4.5s=£*=£0.225, and there £13–13:0.225—$57.777. In Canada, $1=58.= =£0.25, and there £13=13; 0.25=$52. In New England, $1=6s.=££0.30, and there, £13–13:0.3=$43.333. In New York, $1=89==£0.4, and there, £13=13:0.45 32.50. In Pennsylvania, $1=7s. 6d=7.53.=£75=£0.375, and there, £13–13;0.375=$34.666. And in Georgia, $1=

300. In £16 7s. 8d. 2qr., how many dollars, cents and mills ?
Before dividing the pounds, as above, 7s. 8d. 2qr., must be reduced to a decimal of a pound, and annexed to £16. This may be done by Art. 143, or by inspection, thus, shillings being 20ths of a pound, every 23. will be 1 tenth of a pound: therefore write half the even number of shillings for the tenths £0.3. One shilling being 1 20th=£0.05; hence, for the odd shilling we write £0.05. Farthings are 960ths of a pound, and if 960ths be increased by their 24th part, they are 1000ths. Hence 8d. 2qr.(=34qr.+1)= £0.035; and 164-0.30.05 0.035 =£16.385, which, divided as in the preceding example, give for English currency, $72.822, Can. $65.54, N. Y. $40.962, &c. Hence,

Q: Why does Celery use polling with the Redis broker? According to its documentation on the interval option Celery polls for results when using the Redis backend, by default using a 0.5s interval.
A naive developer could think that any queueing system using Redis would at least try to exploit its LIST or PUBSUB mechanisms. Why does Celery not do this and instead rely on polling?
As an example, the following takes exactly 0.5 seconds on the r.get() call when run through a Celery worker (which is the default polling interval):
from celery import Celery

app = Celery('tasks', broker='redis://localhost:6379/0',
              backend="redis://localhost:6379/0")

@app.task
def add(x, y):
    return x + y

if __name__ == "__main__":
    r = add.delay(5, 4)
    result = r.get()
    print(result)

A: Polling is the default implementation for any new result store because it works without backend-specific code. Using Redis PUB/SUB is on the wish list; the code simply hasn't been written yet: https://github.com/celery/celery/issues/799
