Deborah A. Hromanik
"If anyone knows me they know I am a strong woman, but here is a little history.
"I graduated from high school in 1967, that same week I started in the mill in the business planning department, I started running a multilith machine. In 1969 the consent decree was passed and women could apply for non traditional jobs in the plant. I was the first woman awarded the job as a laborer. To my chagrin, the men were not happy to have me. My first job....clean out the railroad cars. I had a ladder to climb in, once inside I had no way out. Oh, and by the way, no bathroom. I also held a job as the acid tester, still no bathroom and no other women.

It probably depends upon your point of view, but I guess some of you will be surprised to read that what you eat and drink, how well you sleep, whether you take enough regular exercise and so on can affect how much – or how little – you will suffer from hay fever. But apparently it's true; according to the NHS website, a 2010 study of over 2,000 people with hay fever, conducted by the National Pollen and Aerobiology Research Unit (NPARU), found that lifestyle factors, such as stress and exercise, can have a major impact on hay fever.
Do eat berries, cherries, lots of fruit and veg – almost any fruit and veg but see "Avoid" below – preferably raw but if not, as undercooked as you can take 'em. The less you cook them the more goodness they retain. Also garlic, which not only reduces catarrh but also keeps the midges away (although you have to eat an awful lot to achieve that).
Avoid dairy, meat, tomatoes, wheat, wheat products & yellow melon -if you're like me, pineapple and melon sometimes make bits of my lip swell up. Although curious, it's not altogether attractive. It's temporary and it doesn't always happen, so sometimes I decide the pleasure of the taste is worth the risk. Your call.
Some hay fever sufferers experience a tingling in and around the mouth when eating certain foods. This is commonly know as 'Pollen Food Syndrome' or 'Oral Allergy Syndrome'. Find out more here.
Sleep long and well. Not so surprising, this one. After all, quite a lot of life's problems seem somewhat less problematic after a good night's sleep. And it's just one of the things that can really can help manage your hay fever symptoms. An NPARU study showed that people who slept at least 7 hours a night suffered significantly milder symptoms than those who slept no more than 5 hours each night.
Drinking responsibly 1. Reduce the amount of alcohol you drink. Beer, wine and spirits all contain histamine, and as you must know if you've read this far into our site, that's the chemical that sets off allergy symptoms in your body. In addition to making you more sensitive to pollen, alcohol also dehydrates you, making your symptoms seem worse.
Drinking responsibly 2. Avoid mucus-producing dairy drinks. Excess mucus is exactly what you don't need if you suffer from hay fever (or are about to give an important presentation, by the by). Drink water, fruit tea (Asda's blackcurrant is the best ever, but don't tell anybody or they'll run out even faster than they do now), herb tea, any non-caffeinated tea.
Stress the big stuff. You need a bit of stress to get you out of bed in the morning (or afternoon, if you're a teenager/shift worker/actor/musician/someone who gets up in the afternoon) but too much and your symptoms will get worse and there'll you be sneezing and weeping and scratching and sniffing and it'll all be off to hell in a handcart. So concern yourself with the big stuff and leave the little stuff to its own devices.
Exercise. No surprise at all, this one. You know it makes sense. You should try to do two and a half hours of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise every week. Moderate-intensity means fast walking, cycling, water aerobics, pushing a lawnmower; that sort of thing. Obviously you should avoid exercising – or even being – outdoors when the pollen count is highest, generally first thing in the morning and early evening. If the pollen count is really high – check out our pollen count forecast here – take your exercise indoors, for example at your local gym or swimming pool. Or on your exercise bike. The lawn can wait.

Amy Katherine Browning; Amy Dugdale; Amy Katherine Dugdale (31 March 1881 – 27 January 1978) was a British Impressionist painter.

Life
Browning was born near Luton in Bedfordshire in 1881. Her parents, Katherine Lucy and James Day Browning would have eight children and she was the second. Her father was a bailiff but in time he became a farmer. She entered the Royal College of Art in 1899 but had to leave in 1901 as she was eldest unmarried daughter and her mother was pregnant.

She was the favourite student of Gerald Moira when scholarships allowed her to return to the Royal College. Moira would send her upstairs to teach the male student painters. She left the college in 1906. She had become friends with Sylvia Pankhurst and together they created an art exhibition for the Women's Social and Political Union at the Prince's Skating Club in 1909. They remained friends and they worked to raise money for the poor during the First World War. Meanwhile, she was teaching, but she also had early success with her painting. In 1913 the French government bought Chequered Shade which had taken the silver medal when it was exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1913. The French also bought The Red Shawl. When the Paris Salon restarted after the war she returned and exhibited regularly taking the gold medal once. Browning was also continuing to exhibit regularly at the Royal Academy and at other international locations. She would sign her paintings "A.K.Browning" to avoid any discrimination based on gender.

Browning spent her time teaching to subsidise her painting. She also took commissions including one of Winston Churchill and another of his wife.

In 1952 her husband, Thomas Cantrell Dugdale, died and she gave up their house and she went to live in a flat in Chelsea. Her great-niece was the actress Joanna Dunham.

Death and legacy
Browning died in Letchworth. She has paintings in Musée Baron Gerard, Bayeux, Luton Museum and Art Gallery, Wolverhampton Museum and Art Gallery, Ipswich Museum and Art Gallery, Kelvingrove Museum and the Royal Academy's collection. Portraits of her are held in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery.

Q: SQL - Column string characters has to be greater than 25 When creating a table, can you put a constraint check on a column to check that the string value has to be greater than 25 characters? I know it can be done on numeric, but having difficulty to do it for a string.
Here is my code:
CREATE TABLE TITLE
(Title_ID VARCHAR(8),
Title_Name VARCHAR(MAX) CHECK (Title_Name > 25));

I realize this only checks to see if the numeric value is greater than 25, but how can make it that it checks that the string value is greater than 25 characters

A: In Oracle, the maximum length of a string in a table is 4000 8-bit characters (as explained here).  And you generally use varchar2() for variable length strings.  So you can do:
CREATE TABLE TITLE (
    Title_ID VARCHAR2(8),
    Title_Name VARCHAR2(4000) CHECK (LENGTH(Title_Name) > 25)
);

If you want an unlimited length string, you can use a CLOB, but those are generally a bit more finicky to work with.
If you happen to be using SQL Server (which your syntax suggests), then this would be:
CREATE TABLE TITLE (
    Title_ID VARCHAR(8),
    Title_Name VARCHAR(MAX) CHECK (LEN(Title_Name) > 25)
);

A: You should use LENGTH function to check title length:
CREATE TABLE TITLE(
  Title_ID VARCHAR2(8),
  Title_Name VARCHAR2(400) CHECK (LENGTH(Title_Name) > 25)
);

The arrival of the new year has inspired a number of newspapers, magazines, and journals to look back at 2009's experience with the ongoing swine flu pandemic. Their recent assessments and others can help answer four central questions about H1N1 and the U.S. response.
Flu pandemics come in waves. This outbreak's first wave started in late April and peaked over the summer of 2009. The second wave, which began in August, may now be coming to a close. According to data from Quest Diagnostics, the world's largest diagnostic testing company, requests for H1N1 tests have fallen 75% since they peaked the week ending October 28. Testing rates are now equivalent to those at the start of the second wave.
Although the CDC transitioned from tracking individual cases of H1N1 on July 24, it continues to estimate H1N1 hospitalizations and deaths. These approximate data indicate that 34 million to 67 million cases of H1N1 occurred between April and mid-November, with 154,000 to 303,000 influenza-related hospitalizations and 7,070 to 13,930 influenza-related deaths. Awful as they are, these numbers are thankfully far below the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology's August prediction of 30,000 to 90,000 deaths.
In what ways did the U.S. response succeed?
Despite fear and pressure, these officials avoided their more extreme options. They did not use the national Tamiflu stockpile as a preventive mechanism. They did not mandate vaccination or issue federal orders to close schools. They did not heed Congressman Eric Massa's call to close the border with Mexico, the source of the epidemic.
They did, however, provide clear news and advice on cdc.gov and flu.gov. Both websites worked to debunk potential causes of panic and the evolving arguments of the anti-vaccine lobby: that vaccination would be mandatory; that vaccines would be untested; that vaccines cause autism or Guillain-Barré Syndrome; that H1N1 is transmitted via pork consumption; and others. According to several experts in the New York Times, the government largely defeated misinformation.
In what ways did the U.S. response fall short?
Criticism of the government's response has largely focused on three areas—vaccine development, surveillance systems, and treatment infrastructure.
The experience with H1N1 in Mexico demonstrates a broader point about U.S. investment in global health—that enhancing surveillance and preparedness in other countries pays dividends here. The sooner other countries can identify a disease and the better they can contain it, the more warning the U.S. has and the fewer the risks it faces.
As for other infrastructure, the latest "Ready or Not?" report by the Trust for America's Health (TFAH) and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation finds that swine flu "has exposed serious underlying gaps in the nation's ability to respond to public health emergencies." In the report, 20 states had six or fewer of the 10 key indicators of prepared infrastructure. Almost two-thirds of states had seven or fewer.
Why are these lessons significant?
2009 H1N1 has been the least lethal of modern flu pandemics, with the death rate among infected persons likely between 0.026% and 0.048%. It could have been much worse.
Perhaps, as H1N1 is the first such pandemic in decades, many will not find this an immediate concern. When the next flu pandemic breaks out, however, they too will hope that the U.S. has built upon its successes in 2009—and learned from its failures.
