89,029 Total Vaccinations, 70% Had One Dose
As of October 16th, Bermuda has administered a total of 89,029 vaccinations — an increase of 612 from the week prior – and 70% of the population has received one dose, which the Health Minister called "encouraging" and "good news."
In releasing tonight's test results, a Government spokesperson said, "We have completed week 40 of vaccinations. Since January 11, Bermuda has administered a total of 89,029 vaccinations.
"Of the 89,029 vaccinations given as of October 16:
"85.7% of all residents over the age of 65 years have had at least one vaccination , and 83.4% are fully immunized.
"It is encouraging that we have reached 70% of the population vaccinated," said the Minister of Health, Kim Wilson. "This is good news indeed. If you want to be vaccinated, please register your interest as soon as possible on gov.bm/vaccines. The Covid-19 vaccine remains our best defence in preventing the spread of this virus. It will decrease symptoms and severe illness and, in most cases, prevent death."
"You can request an appointment or walk into the KEMH Vaccination Clinic on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 4 to 7 pm, and Saturday, 8 am to 4 pm. Medical doctors will be at KEMH to answer any questions about the coronavirus and the Covid-19 vaccine. To request an appointment click "Covid-19 Vaccine Registration" on www.gov.bm or contact the vaccine call centre at 444-2498 option #2."
"There is also a second vaccination centre at the National Sports Centre to accelerate the booster programme. The dates and hours of operation for the next three weeks are:
Wednesday 13 October to Friday 15 October 12pm -6:30pm
Tuesday 19 October to Friday 22 October 12pm -6:30pm
Monday 25 October to Friday 29 October 12pm -6:30pm
Minister Wilson added, "If you do not have access to the internet or need assistance in making appointments, please call the Vaccine Centre on 444-2498-option #2, where the team will assist you with booking your appointment. You can also contact your doctor for assistance.
"I would ask all residents scheduled to receive their second dose, please do not miss your appointment! If you do have to change your appointment, we ask that you call the Vaccination Hotline at 444 2498 [option #2] or email vaccine@gov.bm as soon as you can so that we can re-schedule your appointment."
"We must all do our part to help stop the spread of the coronavirus," concluded Minister Wilson. "As always, to decrease the odds of getting the coronavirus, avoid the three "Cs": closed spaces, crowded places and close contact settings. Follow Public Health guidelines, wear a mask, practice good hand hygiene, maintain physical distance and download the WeHealth Bermuda app."

Bad habits are hard to break, so Justin Young-the assistant professor of industrial engineering at Kettering University-aims to prevent them. He is researching how gesture controls, voice interactions, augmented reality, multiple device use and other emerging technologies will affect the ergonomics of future office workers. He said that the goal is to come up with something that usable for brain and also for the comfort of body. Video games already use marker-less motion capture technology. Many company has developed this technology to their products such as laptop, game system and else.
Young said that the standard keyboard and mouse work well in many context, but can be cumbersome in 3 dimensional virtual space. Decades ago, skyrocketing computer use triggered the rise of carpal tunnel syndrome and repetitive stress injuries. His team hopes to develop best practices to teach workers before they learn to use new techniques like pinch-to-zoom the wrong way.
So the research and the consortium that funds it is really interested in looking at these issues before the technology becomes fully mainstream and making sure that what does get out there and what everybody does adopt is ergonomic, easy to use, and does not cause the discomfort and pain issues that many office workers are pretty aware of. Young want so figure out how integrating speech recognition, touchless gesture controls, cellphones, tablets, and augmented reality changes the current paradigm of a keyboard tray, arm rests, keyboard rests, etc.
While the newer technologies certainly will have an impact in the office, Young foresees an even bigger impact on many aspect of industrial engineering. Currently, ergonomists review workplaces in person or via video. The new technologies can add volumes of data. Just like how Microsoft Kinect tracks people walking around a room, improve research grade versions could capture information from assembly lines and other work operations.
Young foresees opportunities for time studies that yield quantitative real-time data. Instead of shunting robots off into safety cages, employees could work alongside their industrial partners without being in danger. And engineers could get automatic feedback when workers use unsafe techniques.


Having immediate family members with a history of febrile seizures (convulsions brought on by fevers in small children/ infants) raises the risk of having them. So, if you or your spouse had them as children, you should research early on before/when you have babies to avoid the trauma of the unknown.
This is a VERY important fact to remember: simple febrile seizures typically cause no lasting harm to your baby. (I am not referring to whatever virus might be causing the seizure... just the actual, physical seizure.) Keep this in mind since it was that awful empty look of hers after the seizure that scared me the most. They will recover whether it is a few hours or a couple of days, they will return to 100% and usually have no lasting side effects.
However, it is important to keep them from injuring themselves while convulsing. Simply lay them on the floor, on their side to avoid choking if they vomit. Make sure there is nothing in their mouth to choke on and do not restrain them.
There really are no studies that show a way to prevent febrile seizures. Of course you want to always keep an eye on a fever and keep it down, but that is not proven to prevent the seizure.
The most important thing I want to share is that it will be ok. I have not verbalized exactly how I felt at that moment when she was convulsing in my arms. But when Colby's father was recounting to me how he felt watching Colby's seizure as a baby, he said, "You feel as though your baby is dying in your arms." And I did. He validated exactly what I had thought and felt. Now, if it happens again, it will still be frightening... but not that heart-ripping-out-of-my-chest, I-am-going-to-lose-my-baby type of frightening. I will know that she will be ok and will laugh, giggle, dance, sing, screech and glow again.
Please pass this post on to any parents you know that have babies or young children. If I can ease the anxiety of any other parent, I hope I can.
This is such a good write up- I haven't experienced this first hand, but once found and had to help a victim and had no idea what to do- Sounds like you really know what you are doing. Your child is lucky!
oh my gosh. Breath taking. Thank you for sharing this information with me (and I hope to never need it... but now I know). I cannot even begin to imagine your worry.
Bless you and your family. I'm glad that she had a wonderful 1st birthday.

Bristol City 0 West Brom 1: Sunday Mercury Big Match Verdict
CRAIG Dawson scored his first goal in West Brom colours to give Roy Hodgson's men a victory at Ashton Gate.

CRAIG Dawson scored his first goal in Albion colours to give Roy Hodgson's men a victory at Ashton Gate.
While all eyes were on Albion's new goalkeeper Ben Foster, it took a late goal from rookie defender Craig Dawson to ensure the win for the visitors.
Albion's performance answered some of the questions – not least who will take to the field when they entertain Manchester United on the opening weekend of the season.
Foster in goal certainly, with the rest of the team also having an ominous look about it. Peter Odemwingie, making his first pre-season start on English soil, was up front, with the rest of the team looking familiar.
Gabriel Tamas and Somen Tchoyi perhaps the two who had most to lose at Ashton Gate, with the centre-half position and an advanced midfield role up for grabs – though Tchoyi was effectively playing as a striker for most of the game.
Chris Brunt and Odemwingie were to go closest for Albion, while Tchoyi was guilty of two poor misses. It took centre-half Dawson to deliver the killer blow, scoring with a header in the 88th minute.
Foster had little to do overall but did well to twice deny Maynard.
Hodgson was pleased with his side's performance and intensity.
"It was a great workout, a good game of football," said the Albion boss. "We should have taken our chances but Bristol City had some good chances so it was unusual it only finished one nil.
"But at this stage of pre-season, when it's hot and the grass is long then you have to be pleased. It was a good game against a side which is one week ahead of us in their pre-season training."
It could have been one nil for Albion within the first two minutes. James Wilson's weak back pass had little chance of reaching David James. Tchoyi dashed in and steered his run towards goal, only to be denied by the former England goalkeeper.
Speaking of keepers, Foster's first contribution was to send a clearance straight into Jonas Olsson, leaving the Baggies defender winded.
Albion were moving the ball around well. Tchoyi, working more as a second striker more than a midfielder, was particularly prominent early on, though he could have done better in the eighth minute when he powered into the box, only to side-foot a weak pass across the box.
The Baggies were fluid and looking composed.
There was plenty of conviction during the opening half hour, despite an occasional lack of finesse – especially in front of James. The veteran City man was called into action in the 23rd minute when he dived acrobatically to deny Olsson's excellent header.
At the other end, Foster had little to do. Nicky Maynard's late first-half effort had power and intensity but was straight at the Albion keeper.
Nil nil it remained, with the opening half petering out.
Bristol City should have taken the lead inside the opening minute of the second-half.
Maynard side-stepped away from Olsson and beat Foster with a low shot, which rolled against the post and bounced away.
The Baggies didn't clear the danger and were unlucky not to be punished seconds later when the ball fell to Maynard from close range. The City striker's low shot was brilliantly saved by Foster.
The intensity didn't last. City started to bring on the substitutes, mindful of their opener against Ipswich and Albion were happy to stroke the ball around without much fuss or urgency.
We were roused by Albion's best chances of the game in the 65th minute. Brunt struck the post with a 20-yard shot with the ball rolling just across the face of goal.
Moments later Odemwingie collected the ball as he made an angled run. The Nigerian lifted his shot over James, but failed to hit the target, with his effort bouncing off the bar and out of play.
Scharner was to also test James. His 75th-minute drive slid through James' hands but the keeper's touch was enough to divert the ball over the bar.
The winner came late on.
Graham Dorrans, on for Brunt, sent in a corner from the right, which was powered in by Dawson – his first goal for the club.

pmo in bourges
In October 2022, we inaugurate the PMO's new residence in Bourges: a major project co-constructed with the City of Bourges, the Conservatory and the Maison de la Culture as well as with a whole network of local partners, as part of Bourges 2028, Bourges' bid to become the European Capital of Culture.
"A new great adventure begins for musicians of the PMO: with this residence in Bourges, we will go to meet all the public, schools of the city and the department, hospitals, retirement homes, prisons… Of course, we will continue our tours in France and abroad, but we will have at heart to weave strong links with the city and its inhabitants and to develop actions in the whole region. The Maison de la Culture will become our "base camp" and we already have an office at the Bourges Conservatory.
The invitation of the Mayor, Mr. Yann Galut, came at a time when we all felt the need of a territorial anchorage. The magnificent cultural facilities of the city and its candidacy for the title of European Capital of Culture have won us over and convinced us of the relevance of our presence.
It is therefore with joy and gratitude that we come with demanding and popular musical programs, and educational projects that we will also deploy in schools and colleges in rural communities.
Attentive to the place of women in society, we will devote a week to highlighting women conductors, inviting for masterclasses, meetings and concerts, the winners of La Maestra International Competition, which we founded in September 2020 with the Philharmonie de Paris.
The PMO: an orchestra like no other!"
Claire Gibault, artistic and musical director
For one week each season, the PMO intends to reach out to all audiences and to multiply exchanges and collaborations with the city's emblematic cultural venues, such as the Maison de la Culture and the Conservatory, as well as with the region's schools, colleges, high schools, hospitals, retirement homes, and even prisons. What will the PMO do in Bourges?
Great concerts with a popular and demanding program
The inauguration of Orchestre Au Bahut in a dozen establishments in Bourges and throughout the Centre-Val de Loire region
The invitation of La Maestra laureates for a series of concerts, meetings and masterclasses in public
Masterclasses in collaboration with the Bourges Conservatory
Chamber music concerts, a garden tour, solidarity actions throughout the region…
… In short, a variation of all the activities developed by the PMO over the last 11 years, all in a spirit of co-construction and collaboration with the City of Bourges, the Conservatory, the Maison de la Culture and all local partners…
Download the 22/23 brochure
The Paris Mozart Orchestra invites individuals and companies to commit to the PMO's residence in Bourges within its Patrons' Circle.
We assume a strong societal commitment. We believe passionately that artistic and aesthetic choices have a meaning. That the encounter with art can change the course of a life.
To move in this direction, more than ever, we need supports. We need you.

IMPORTANT: This project was completed by Dmitry Matveev. You may still contact the people above for details, but please do not submit an application for this project.
Monitoring of file system activity is a key piece of a modern desktop environment because it provides instant feedback to the user about any changes performed to the disk. In particular, file monitoring is an internal component of the Gnome infrastructure that allows the desktop to receive notifications when files or directories change. This way, if, say, you are viewing the Downloads folder in Nautilus and you start downloading a file from Epiphany into that folder, Nautilus will realize the new file and show it immediately without requiring a manual refresh.
How to monitor the file system depends on the operating system. There are basically two approaches: polling and asynchronous notifications. Polling is suboptimal because the notifications are usually delayed. Asynchronous notifications are tied to the operating system: Linux provides inotify, NetBSD provides kqueue and other systems provide their own APIs.
Does not support kqueue out of the box.
FAM is too hard to set up: it requires rpcbind, an addition to etc/services, a sysctl tweak, and the configuration of a system-level daemon.
Supports kqueue out of the box, but does not work very well.
Actually, Gamin itself does not work. Running the tests provided by the distfile in a modern Linux system results in several test failures.
Did you notice the abandoned pattern above? This is important: in the new world order, Gnome does not use FAM any more.
The new structure to monitor files is: the low-level glib library provides the gio module, which has a new file system monitoring API. The GVFS module provides higher level abstractions to file system management, and relies on gio for file system monitoring. There is no GNOME VFS any more.
The problematic point is: gio uses inotify directly; no abstraction layers in between. FAM support is still there for platforms without inotify, but as it is not used in Linux any more, both the FAM package and the support for it rot.
The goal of this project is to fix this situation. There are two possible approaches. The first is to extend the gio library with a new module to support kqueue, the native interface in NetBSD for file monitoring; this new module can be submitted upstream and will benefit all other BSD systems, but it will not help other applications that use inotify. The second is to write a compatibility library that exposes an inotify interface on top of kqueue; this cannot be sent upstream but it helps any application using inotify.
The preferred method is to write a new gio plugin to support kqueue. Henceforth, the deliverables for the project include a new gio module to support kqueue and, if time permits, a standalone library that implements an inotify interface on top of kqueue.
Read the kqueue(2) manual page to get a general idea of the API and this example for starters.
Analyze the kqueue support for FAM which is in pkgsrc/sysutils/fam/files/IMonKQueue.c++. This might be helpful to see how to apply kqueue to monitor for the events used by GNOME.
Read the modules/inotify* files in gnome-vfs and inspect how they are used in the "file method". The modules/Makefile.am contains a list of related sources in the libfile_la_SOURCES variable.
Possibly the hardest part: write the required stuff (modules/kqueue*) to add kqueue support.
