This article is about prevention. It will detail some of the warning signs soldiers' exhibit prior to a suicide attempt and will discuss preventive measures. This article is for everyone as it has been estimated that 65% (PTSD Research Quarterly) of the general population know someone who has died by suicide. Military efforts to reduce risk have been improved and new programs are being created. Suicide prevention rides on the shoulders not only of the government, but reaches to other soldiers as well as civilians. It is imperative that we are armed with awareness and prevention.
The military has identified Post Traumatic Stress disorder, other mental illnesses and addiction as a predictor of risk for suicide. Knowledge of these disorders will equip individuals to identify when someone is at risk and provide the support they need. The following disorders are commonplace among soldiers who commit suicide. They will be explained in detail as to some of the signs and symptoms. Please note that meeting the following criteria does not necessarily mean that someone is suicidal. These are simply red flag disorders associated with thoughts of self-harm. This is not an exhaustive list of predictors and soldiers may exhibit other behaviors that signal concern.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) may result from exposure to a traumatic event. It is the bodies and the mind's way of responding to an overwhelming situation involving fear and, often seen in soldiers, the threat or witnessing of death.
PTSD is characterized by three clusters of symptoms: intrusive, arousal, and avoidance. All three of these need not be present to be concerned about the possibility of suicide among a soldier.
• Intrusive Symptoms: These are symptoms that literally intrude a soldier's life. They are thoughts and feelings associated with combat that come "out of the blue." Intrusive symptoms may come in the form of nightmares, flashbacks, or negative reactions to anything associated with combat or the military in general.
• Arousal Symptoms: When someone is experiencing intrusive symptoms, their anxiety will begin to peak. This is a result of not knowing when the individual will experience the next intrusive symptom. This response mirrors the "fight" response to a stimuli. An example of an arousal symptom is an exaggerated startle response commonly known as being "jumpy" or "watchful waiting." The soldier may feel "on edge" all the time as if something is going to harm him or her. These symptoms may manifest themselves in irritability or explosiveness.
• Avoidance Symptoms: It is normal to want to avoid something that is painful. Intrusive and arousal symptoms are painful enough to where the soldier may make every attempt to avoid the pain associated with them. This is the "flight" response. Avoidance symptoms include not wanting to talk about the combat or military experience, not remembering key events, "checking out" when reminders of the trauma are presented, or engaging in drug and alcohol use.
Depression is common in individuals who have thoughts of suicide. It is important to note that there is a normal depression that comes along with having a traumatic event in the past. This does not necessarily mean that it will lead to suicide.
Anxiety can be described as a constant state of hypervigilance. It is constantly feeling as if something bad is about to happen. Anxiety can manifest itself both mentally and physically. Symptoms of anxiety vary from person to person. Some individuals may feel more panic at certain times, while others may feel nervous about everything no matter what the significance.
At times, addiction may accompany a history of trauma or the disorders described above. A simple description of addiction is continued use despite consequences associated with the use of a substance. To illustrate, if a soldier continues to have problematic behavior (i.e. aggressiveness or increased depression) when using alcohol yet continues to use it, abuse issues may be present.
Following is a list of warning signs a soldier may exhibit when he or she has suicidal thoughts or plans. It is important, when assessing the situation, that there is open communication with the soldier as well as those around him. It would be helpful to identify some of these issues from speaking directly to the soldier. Other times, a discussion with a loved one may be an avenue to evaluate the signs and discuss the level of concern. If there are signs, a trained professional may be able to help. Please refer to the references listed below.
3. Talking about death or being "passively suicidal"
Lines of communication regarding suicide should be open. In speaking with the soldier directly, one opens him or herself up as someone who is knowledgeable and can be helpful. However, there are times that the above references signs may be present and the soldier may deny them. Here are a few reasons why soldiers deny any suicidal thoughts or plans.
1. The belief of a stigma that goes along with mental illness or suicidal thoughts. Many soldiers believe that, if they discuss these thoughts, they may be labeled as "crazy" or "unstable."
2. Fear of being judged for being "weak." Soldiers are taught to continue fighting despite pain. They believe that if they ask for help, it means that they are not able to handle it on their own.
3. Soldiers may feel also fear that the person they tell may "over react" and hospitalize the soldier. If hospitalized for psychiatric disturbance, there may be consequences unknown to them or they may fear being discharged from the service.
There are several factors that serve to protect an individual from having thoughts of suicide. The protective factors listed below should be fostered in any soldier whether they are on leave or discharged.
Some soldiers may exhibit outward signs of suicidality such as the characteristics and signs described above. Others may suffer more silently. Neither of these are beyond help. Opening up a dialogue about thoughts of self-harm is imperative. It is important that the soldier get back to a state where he or she again feels safe and secure. It is strongly encouraged that, if there is cause for concern, one must not only engage in some of the strategies below but enlist the assistance of a trained clinician.
1. Ask, ask, ask - The topic of suicide does not generally flow into normal conversation. If the soldier has any of the following warnings, it is important to ask whether he or she has any thoughts to harm himself or herself. It is important to note that they may not be entirely truthful about his or her thoughts or feelings. The soldier may be trying to reconcile his or her death but not want to tell anyone. It is important to watch for the warning signs and intervene when appropriate. Remember, asking will not harm anything.
a. Some individuals experiencing the same situation as you have had thoughts of harming themselves or committing suicide. Do you have any of these thoughts?
b. Are you feeling hopeless about the future or even the present?
c. Do you feel trapped?
d. Have you ever thought of taking your own life or had a suicide attempt?
2. Be willing to listen - allow them to express their feelings without interpretation or judgment. Remember that it is reasonable to ask specific question about particular feelings (i.e. are you feeling hopeless).
3. Validate the soldier's feelings. Don't give a lecture on the values of life. Be prepared to listen and provide support.
4. Be available to them. Show interest and understanding. It is important that they know that there is care and support out there.
5. Offer hope that there are alternatives available.
6. Take action in removing firearms, pills, and anything else that can be lethal.
7. Do not act shocked or ask why. Be careful not to have a negative reaction to their feelings or thoughts.
8.Get professional help. It is important to ask a trained counselor to intervene. Professional support is necessary when dealing with suicidal thoughts. Do not agree to keep it a secret. Encourage them to attend counseling or reach out to their support system. If the soldier is referred to counseling, it would be helpful to have someone go with him or her. Be a resource that is active in his or her recovery. Offer to go with the soldier to appointments and follow up.
Caring for others can be a wonderful and rewarding experience. At the same time, it can be stressful. Caregiver burnout, also known as compassion fatigue, happens when individuals focus on others at the expense of their own self-care. It is important to note that anything that has to do with combat or the military experience can be stressful both for the soldier and those who love and care for him or her.
Some signs of compassion fatigue can mirror what some soldiers go through when they return from service. Symptoms of PTSD, depression, anxiety, and addiction can all be manifestations of compassion fatigue. It is important that care givers take care of their own emotional well being in addition to being there for others.
Suicide is a serious and very real problem with individuals returning from service. The military has been responding to this epidemic but the responsibility also rests on the shoulders of those who love and care for soldiers. Signs and symptoms of suicidality need to be taken seriously and protective measures need to be taken. Please try and learn all you can about suicide prevention, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and addiction. There are also trained professionals in this area. Below are some of the resources available on the internet.
Through opening up a dialogue about this serious topic, soldiers will be provided with the understanding and care that they need. Military personnel continue to serve this country on a daily basis. It is imperative that we serve them as well.

HÀ NỘI — Việt Nam will never tolerate or permit activities related to illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) Vũ Văn Tám said on Saturday.
Tám shared his opinion after receiving information that a foreign fishing vessel had violated IUU fishing regulations and was suspected to have docked in Việt Nam.
Tám said MARD assigned relevant agencies, especially the Directorate of Fisheries and the Department of Animal Health, to verify this information and report to the ministry this week.
"If violations are detected, the cases shall be strictly handled," Tám said.
"Việt Nam is being warned by the EU of being issued yellow cards on IUU, so we will have to do our best to overcome this problem," he added.
Countries that fail to meet European Commission standards on fighting against IUU fishing are issued a yellow card, which is considered a warning and offers Việt Nam the opportunity to take measures to rectify the situation within six months. To this end, the EC has proposed an action plan for the country. The "yellow card" is followed by a "green card" if issues are resolved or a "red card" if they aren't. A red card can lead to a trade ban on fishery products.
Tám said the Government and MARD had directed relevant ministries to fight against IUU fishing, making it clear Việt Nam would not tolerate or allow illegal fishing activities.
To go along with the international community to stop the IUU fishing, Việt Nam is concentrating on implementing many solutions through which it will put the fight against IUU fishing into the revised Fisheries Law and build a national action plan to prevent, minimise and eliminate IUU fishing until 2025.
The Prime Minister has also sent a message on preventing, minimising and stopping illegal fishing vessels and Vietnamese fishermen from fishing in foreign waters. Through these activities, Việt Nam hopes the EU will lift the yellow card soon.
In addition, the community of seafood exporters in Việt Nam also expressed its determination through its commitment to combat IUU fishing. According to the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP), 62 enterprises have committed to purchasing and importing seafood from legal fishing vessels with clear origin.
They will not buy seafood of fishing vessels caught illegally or exploited without a permit, without fishing diary, not reported as regulated and exploited with prohibited fishing tools. At the same time, they will say no to rare species of seafood and catch products that are smaller than those permitted.
Earlier, at a meeting with VASEP and businesses held on November 9 in HCM City, First Counselor of Trade and Economic Affairs of the EU Delegation in Việt Nam Miriam Garcia Ferrer provided information on an IUU fishing vessel that was suspected to have landed in Việt Nam.

Times Are Changing So Dress Like You're from the 1910s
Posted On: 7th April 2009
The 1910s were difficult times. In fact, the difficult weren't unique to the United States. People all over the world acknowledged the 1910s as being one of the worst decades they'd ever seen.
It could have been a number of things. But it's a safe bet that the cause for the universal hardship was the Great War. The First World War changed the United States and the world forever. It was the largest conflict to ever take place and it took it a toll on the global morale.
For years, fashion was about abundance. Women wore floor length skirts with elaborate hats and gloves. Men wore three piece suits and hats as every day wear. Fashion was intended to make people look fabulous. But when the First World War began in 1914, things changed.
People started to think more practically about how they lived. The idea of opulence completely left the culture and the world of fashion. People began to dress in clothing that required less material and less frills. People began to cut corners and costs any way they could and clothing was no exception.
The beginning of the 1910 was about looking fabulous. By the end of the 1910s, women's dresses were shortened from floor length to above the ankles. Colors and designs were bland with less flair and fancy. Even menswear took a nose dive. Pants were made shorter and clothing became simpler. After all, there was a war going on. People didn't have time to worry about how they looked. They were too busy worrying about how to survive this war to end all wars.
Unfortunately, the First World War didn't end wars. In fact, it didn't even come close. But the changes made to the fashion world lasted beyond the four year conflict. Floor length dresses have hardly been worn since the early 1910 except in formal attire. Clear distinctions between practical casual wear and opulent formal wear were made.
However, dressing like you're from the 1910s could be a little tricky in the modern world. You might not actually be able to wear a 1915 costume without getting a few stares. You can design your wardrobe with the minimalist 1910s mentality.

Developing a site that captures the excitement of the sport and is as fresh as Alpine Canada's new brand.
With a rebrand on the horizon, Alpine Canada was looking to overhaul their website. The outdated site no longer captured the essence of the sport and certainly wasn't worthy of the new brand.
The goal was to provide Alpine Canada with a website that would be sustainable as they ventured into new areas of focus, specifically development within their community. Key silos were augmented in an effort to streamline the communication of information for all visitors of the site.
A heavy focus on Athletes provides the brand with ambassadors that can be utilized to connect with individuals at all levels. The site aims to provide visitors with up to date information on the latest news and events so that they can feel like they are a part of the team.
In addition to building the core site, there were additional 'offshoots' within the project. Club ACA was developed as a portal to provide fan-members with exclusive discounts to many of their sponsors and partners. While CIBC's National Ski & Snowboard Day offered deep discounts to most of the major ski-destinations across the country.
Like all National Sports Organizations in Canada, there is a heavy focus on Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) – A guided path that ensures better sport, greater health, and higher achievement. An exclusive area was developed to guide skiers at all levels.

5 reasons Peru is considered the richest country in the world
The Ministry of External Commerce and Tourism, through Promperú, launched a new advertising campaign of international importance: "Peru, the richest country in the world." People all over the world shared this message through important global communication networks.
This is how the Spanish version of Huffington Post, a well-known news website of the United States, came to publish an article delineating 5 beautiful reasons why Peru is the richest country in the world. Huffington Post said about Peru: "This South American country is a perfect destination for those who enjoy natural riches accompanied by a multitude of traditions that speak of the unique personality of the country, not to mention the extremely valuable historic ruins." In this blog post, we remind you of the wonders capturing the attention of so many cybernauts across the world.
1. Machu Picchu, a world wonder
Obviously, it's the most famous place in Peru around the world. Inca people constructed this ancient city in the 26th century and UNESCO declared it as World Heritage Site in 1983. To access the Historical Sanctuary of Machu Picchu, you must first get to the city of Cusco, situated 80 km from the archeological site. Archeologists from all over the globe continue investigating its terraces, canals, and impressive stone structures. You can visit this amazing citadel by walking. Plan your trip with us here!

2. Its delicious cuisine
Peru's cuisine aspires to soon become an Inmaterial World Heritage due to the diversity of its products. Peru has 80% of the climates that exist in the whole world!

Installment 10: Bobby Bergeron, whitewater rafting guide
In our mistrust-filled world full of political contention and both fake and devastating news, mustering the courage to have authentic conversations with people can be a challenge. Finding common ground and engaging in civil discourse about important issues facing our communities, our state, our country and our world can seem elusive, if not sadly impossible.
This concerning state of affairs prompted Pine Tree Watch to examine the concept of trust. In this series called "The Maine Trust Project," we sit down each month with a Maine resident to discuss this precious commodity. We'll see which people and institutions Mainers trust and how the concept of trust drives their thought processes and actions.
River guide pulls off trust magic with ease
For Bobby Bergeron, trust can depend a lot on where you live and how comfortable and confident you are with yourself.
by Stephanie Bouchard | April 25, 2019
Get to know Bobby Bergeron
Residence: Caratunk and Stratton
Religious affiliation: None
Political affiliation: None
How he describes himself: Honest, composed and daring. I'm a very hard-working individual. I put my soul in my work. My job is part of my life and I think that's OK. I'm doing what I love, and that's what makes me happy.
How he defines trust: Trust is being truthful and being honest. It's a feeling of comfort with yourself and others that comes from truthfulness and honesty.
The first time Bobby Bergeron went whitewater rafting, it was the first run of the season on the Dead River in The Forks. Barely out of winter, the water was running high and fast and cold.
He had a blast: "I was like, wow. This is like, really wild."
The Forks region is whitewater rafting central in Maine, home to rivers with rapids ranging from easy, slow currents (Class 1) to extremely adventurous (Class 4).
Now a seasoned river guide, Bobby depends on trust to keep his guest paddlers and himself safe and having fun in a dynamic environment. "(Paddling guests) need to trust me," he says. "I need to trust them."
They learn to trust each other in a short period of time – sometimes in as little as the 15- to 30-minute bus ride to the dam. He has to assure them of his skills, his comfort with being on the river, and his ability to keep them safe, which he does by telling them what to expect and what they'll need to do and why they need to do it – even if it feels contrary to what they think they should be doing.
He, in turn, has to trust that they'll do what needs to be done when he asks them to do it.
"The goal is that by the time we get to the water, they trust in my ability and my knowledge and they trust in their own ability and knowledge, to take down the curtain of fear," he says. Once the fear is gone, everyone can be open to the adventure, the thrill and the fun of being on the river.
Today, Bobby has the confidence in and comfort with himself to pull off this trust magic with relative ease. You'd think he'd been whitewater rafting all his life. But at 31, he's been at it for less than a decade. In fact, until he arrived at Three Rivers Whitewater Rafting in 2010 as a marketing intern, he'd never done it.
Growing up in Windsor Locks, Conn., less than 30 minutes from Hartford, he thought of himself as a seasoned outdoors recreationalist when he arrived in The Forks. He had snowboarded since he was little and went water skiing, tubing, motor boating and swimming at a lake his family went to pretty much every weekend. He spent as much time outdoors as he could and was attending the University of New Hampshire to study recreational management.
It was his final semester at UNH and a required internship that introduced him to the recreational activity that would relocate him to The Forks and set his career and life on a new trajectory.
When he stepped into an inflated raft and went down the Dead, he found his passion and hasn't looked back. Today, he's the company's river operations manager, handling business operations but also training new river guides and working as a guide himself.
As much as he enjoys the challenges of the business side of things, it's his experiences on the river that never cease to amaze him and remind him that what he's doing isn't just providing people with a good time.
One such experience that has stayed with him was a rafting trip on the Kennebec River that he led for a Hispanic family from Los Angeles. The parents were movie directors and had traveled extensively, but their kids had little experience with the outdoors.
After the excitement of the rapids along the upper section of the Kennebec, they were drifting along, relaxing in the lower section, the kids floating in the water with the current allowing them to keep pace with the raft, which they thought was pretty cool.
From the water, one of the kids said something to his mother in Spanish. The family laughed and she got a little choked up. Bobby asked if she minded sharing. She said that her son said he didn't know there were so many shades of green.
"To have the thought that my job allowed a young man to see a different shade of green that could have potentially changed his life was very powerful," he said. "And really was one of those (moments) that drove in (the message) that yes, you are doing the right stuff up here. The hard work and the efforts and the endless hours of training, progressing and growing and moving forward really are for some sort of greater good."
Bobby Bergeron at the Grand Canyon.
Pine Tree Watch: Who meets your definition of trust and how do they meet it?
Bobby: Close friends and the people I work for, who, in many cases, are friends. I've worked in many different industries. I've worked in restaurants. I've worked on farms. I've worked all over the place. Everybody says 'Oh, we're one big happy family.' But this is the first time I've been able to say that I agree with that statement. I've gone on vacation with my CEO and CFO. I've spent my own personal time and money to spend personal time and money with them. I spent 30 days in the Grand Canyon with every single one of my higher-ups and we're still friends and working together and sometimes working more closely and better together because of those experiences. So it is like family.
It's a very empowering thing – being able to believe and trust people you work with. I trust that they're going to do their job right beside me and they trust that I'm going to do my job, too. Nobody is afraid to get their hands dirty no matter what their job is and when you can show somebody that you're not afraid to get your hands dirty, that helps build trust. As a guide trainer and as somebody that helps train staff, I'm the first person to scrub a toilet or wash a dish or swim a rapid. I always tell my trainees before I tell them to swim a Class 2 rapid, I'm going to get in the water and swim a Class 2 rapid. Before we flip a boat, I'm going to flip a boat.
PTW: Who doesn't meet your definition and how do they fail to meet it?
Bobby: I don't know. I have a hard time trusting people so, initially, I don't trust anyone. A wise mentor once told me at the end of the day, nine times out of 10, people will choose to make decisions that benefit themselves over somebody else. To not realize that is not intelligent. And I do believe that. I feel that people do have good intentions, but to say that somebody's going to let me win $100 over them taking $100 is unbelievable. So, it's not that someone has my trust from the start and then fails to maintain it.
PTW: What breaks trust for you?
Bobby: A strand of actions that go against the original agreement. It's not just a one-time, 'Oh you screwed up.' It's a continuous strand of actions that show one's true colors.
PTW: Can broken trust be healed and if so, what has to happen for healing to take place?
Bobby: Yes. A longer strand of actions than broke it originally.
PTW: Has your definition of trust changed over the years, and if so, how?
Bobby: I don't know that my definition of trust has changed. I've always kind of had that wary 'Well, you can't trust that guy next door' attitude. But I feel that my reactions to distrust have changed. When I was younger, I got emotional about it. I got upset. I got angry. Now I try not to let the actions of others impact my emotional brain activity.
PTW: How does trust in yourself factor into how you cope with distrust?
Bobby: I think trusting in myself allowed for that change. As I grew professionally and became more confident, I began to have a higher level of trust in myself and my ability to make good decisions. That allows me to put more weight on my decisions and less weight on others' decisions, so it doesn't matter that that person screwed me over. I can trust myself to adapt, to change, and continue on with my life. I think a lot of it has to do, also, with getting older and learning to deal with hard times.
PTW: Do you think the cultural definition of trust has changed, and if so, how?
Bobby: It's difficult to answer that because as a young man, I've only been truly observing the society and the world that we live in and community for a small period of time. The biggest thing I've noticed about cultural trust is the differences regionally.
I grew up in Connecticut. Nobody trusts anybody down there. I came to Maine and found that Maine is definitely more trustworthy versus other areas I've lived in. When I'm driving in this area, my keys live in my car. When I drive to visit family in Portland or Connecticut, I lock my car and take my keys with me. So, I think that the level of trustworthiness depends on the area. Part of that is understanding who is in an area – who lives there or why they're visiting – and the denseness of the population. Two hundred thousand people in six square miles – you have no idea who the people are next to you. There are fewer opportunities to understand the community and to be able to trust. But here, I'm immersed in the community. I'm not worried about people breaking into my house.
And unlike Connecticut, where there's a lot of fakeness, people in Maine wear their emotions on their sleeve. They let you know how it is. If they don't like you, they'll tell you. They'll tell you why. Whereas in the community I lived before moving here, you never knew where you stood with someone. And in Maine, you can have a relationship with somebody and have completely opposite views. You can argue and have educated conversations, and at the end of the day, you've both shared your experiences, you both shared how you felt about it, and even though you may not see eye to eye, you can still trust that person. Knowing they're going to honestly express their feelings allows me to be able to honestly express my feelings. I feel like that way of being has impacted my own personal life because it has allowed me to really pursue my goals and to be more open about how I feel about things. Instead of feeling bad if a friend or family member doesn't agree with the decisions I make to accomplish my goals, I don't feel any hesitation about pursuing my goals.
PTW: What worries you?
Bobby: Technology has made things easier for us and allowed us to do amazing things, but I don't necessarily think that's making us a stronger species. To be willing to adapt, to change. Willing to put yourself in a stressful or dynamic situation. People are less apt to do that. People are less apt to deal with a hard issue or deal with a difficult activity because our culture and technology has allowed us more ways around that.
In my job, I get to meet people from all walks of life, from all over the country, all over the world, all over the state. I'm worried that people are less willing to grow themselves because, maybe, because of fear of failure. So, they're less apt to push the envelope or to change things up or to rattle things up. They say 'Well, that's the way it is. Life sucks.' They're unhappy and not willing to change it. Because it's going to be hard? Because of the work I do, I know that hard things can be done and may not be as hard as they thought they would be.
I have a fear that people are becoming weaker because they just want things to be easy. They are not willing to tackle a task that might be hard, that might be a challenge, or that might not work. But maybe it will. Maybe if it works, you become this amazing human being that just accomplished something that nobody would have thought of.
PTW: What inspires you?
Bobby: Stories of success, hard work and struggle. The story of the millionaire that just made another million dollars – that doesn't impress me. But the story of somebody who had a hardship and worked hard through it and succeeded – that inspires me.
I am also inspired by working towards and creating something beautiful that has the potential to be powerful and amazing. I do artwork. It's beautiful and amazing to create something out of nothing. There's also beauty in making change – like, making political change to laws that affect people's lives.
PTW: What issues do you think are important today?
Bobby: I think environmental conservation is definitely important – trying to limit our impact on the world so it can continue on. What I feel is that we need to be more aware of our impact. I feel that people should have an understanding that actions do have consequences, and that as a society, we should try to limit the impact of what we're doing.

Flu Quiz: What's Fact and What's Fiction?
This myth really caught on over the years. Flu shots are made with dead viruses or without any viruses at all.Flu shots are made with dead viruses or pieces (proteins) from the flu virus. You can't catch the flu from getting one. Your arm might hurt after the shot. You might have aches or a low fever. But you'd feel a lot worse if you caught the flu.
You can spread the flu before you know you're sick.
Here's one of the tricky things about the flu: You can pass it to someone before you have symptoms, while you're sick, and up to a week after you start feeling bad. Some people, especially kids and those with weakened immune systems, can be contagious even longer.
Some people get so sick that they need to go to the hospital. They can get pneumonia or even respiratory failure. The flu is most dangerous for children, people ages 65 and older, and those with other health problems. About 90% of people who die from the flu are older adults. Flu is the top cause of vaccine-preventable deaths in the United States.
You have to be near someone to get the flu.
People with the flu can give it to anyone within about 6 feet. (Keep that in mind the next time you're on a bus or a train and someone is coughing and sneezing.) The flu usually spreads when a sick person coughs, sneezes, or talks. Droplets of saliva and mucus can travel to your nose or mouth. You can also get the flu by touching something like a door handle or a phone with the virus on it.
Getting the flu vaccine is the best way to protect yourself. Everyone 6 months and older should get it every year. It will help guard you against the 3 or 4 strains predicted to strike hard that flu season. Scientists update the vaccine each year. Talk to your doctor if you have health concerns or questions.
What's better for preventing the flu?
Antibacterial soap or gel won't protect you any more than plain old soap and water will -- flu is not bacterial. If you wash your hands often and well, you'll get rid of germs and viruses that stick to oil on your hands.
You can catch the flu from going out with wet hair.
Mom wasn't right about this one. Heading out with wet hair won't raise your chances of getting the flu. (And neither will going out in the cold without a coat.)The only way you can get it is by being exposed to the virus.
The flu virus changes all the time.
The flu that's keeping your partner in bed might not be the same one that made your aunt sick last year. That's because flu viruses are always changing. They can vary from year to year. They can even change in the middle of a flu season.
Antibiotics help with the flu.
There's no point in asking your doctor for antibiotics. They only help with infections caused by bacteria. Antiviral drugs like oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza) can fight the flu virus and make you feel better faster. They work best if you take them within 2 days of getting sick, so be sure to ask your doctor about these meds ASAP if you think you have flu symptoms.
Getting a flu shot late is better than skipping it.
Get your flu shot as soon as the vaccine is available in the fall. It takes about 2 weeks to work, so it's best to get it before flu season is in full swing. If you've put it off past November, the shot can still help protect you. Flu season is usually the worst from December through February, but it can last well past that.
"Stomach flu" is a kind of seasonal flu.
A lot of stomach bugs – whether caused by bacteria, a virus, or a parasite -- can make you feel queasy, throw up, and have diarrhea. Even though these same symptoms can come with the seasonal flu, especially in children, the flu is mainly an illness of the nose, throat, and lungs -- not the stomach and intestine. The real flu is caused by a virus called Influenza.
Great job! When it comes to separating flu fact from fiction, you call the shots!
Well done! You really caught on. You know a lot about the flu!
Don't let your results bug you. Study up on the flu and take the quiz again.

Private John Eldridge
Regiment: 16th Bn Royal Sussex (formerly Sussex Yeomanry)
Service No: TF/320051 (formerly 1506)
Date and place of birth: 3rd qtr 1895 in Midhurst, Sussex
Date and place of death: 16 November 1917 in Egypt
John Eldridge was baptised at Midhurst Parish Church on 11 August 1895 and was the third son of Alfred and Jane Agnes Eldridge. Alfred Eldridge, born in 1859 in Easebourne, was a beerhouse keeper and jobbing gardener living at The Bricklayer's Arms, West Street, Midhurst. His wife Jane, born in 1859 in Midhurst was the daughter of John Powell, a general dealer, who lived in Wool Lane, Midhurst.
By the 1911 census, thirteen children had been born to Alfred and Jane, two of whom had died: another boy was born in 1914. The children were Agnes, Alfred, Florence, Dorothy, Ivy, May, Lilian, George, Mirtle, John, Jane, Donald, Ethel and Jack. In 1911, John Eldridge was aged 15 and working as an errand boy for a fishmonger (probably Emily Ellis in Wool Lane).
John Eldridge enlisted in Midhurst and first served in the Balkans from 7 October 1915.
The 16th (Sussex Yeomanry) Battalion was a territorial force which, in January 1917, was formed at Mersa Matruh in Egypt, from the dismounted Sussex Yeomanry of the 230th Brigade which was part of the 74th Division. The Battalion was engaged in various actions as part of the Palestinian campaign including the second and third Battles of Gaza in October 1917, the Capture of Beersheba and the Battle of Mughar Ridge on 13 November 1917, where a cavalry charge, assisted by infantry, captured two fortified villages. On 14 November an Ottoman rear-guard position was successfully attacked by mounted units and Junction Station (known as Wadi El Sara) was captured, after which the Turkish 8th Army withdrew.
John Eldridge was awarded Victory, British and 1915 Star medals.
Death and commemoration
He died on 16 November 1917 in Egypt and is buried in Kantara War Memorial Cemetery, grave D.86. He is commemorated on Midhurst War Memorial, Memorial Panels in Midhurst Parish Church and on a headstone in Midhurst Cemetery.
Memorial headstone in Midhurst Cemetery
The names of his brothers Alfred and Donald are listed on the Church Memorial Panels.
Kelly's Sussex Directory (1930) records that Alfred Eldridge was a beer retailer in West Street, Midhurst.
His father, Alfred, died on 13 May 1949, aged 89 and his mother, Jane, on 10 January 1930, aged 71, both in Midhurst.

No matter when you decide to move, it's a safe bet that someone has already moved themselves. That means they may have a lot of boxes they're willing to get rid of. The best place to check is on Craigslist or Freecycle. Any grocery store will also have a big supply of cardboard boxes they are willing to turn over to you. You can also put a posting on Facebook to see if anyone's got boxes in their garage they're willing to get rid of.
The best way to save money on a move is to be flexible. That may take a little coordination between you and your landlord. For instance, if you could get in a few days early at your new apartment, then that might allow you to move on a Tuesday or Wednesday. You can negotiate for lower rates that because most moving companies are fully booked on the weekends. The same can be said for mid-month. If you moving into new home, then you might want to negotiate staying until the middle of the month at your old home for that very purpose.
As you go in search of movers you are going to find plenty of options. You can weed out your choices by first checking the reviews. You want to make sure you're not getting a mover who has a reputation for adding charges on to the move. It's a common employed to quote you one price and then tack on extra hours due to "unforeseen" circumstances. Don't ever take an estimate from a mover who doesn't come to inspect your stuff. That's where you get into big trouble especially with the size of the truck.
Movers charge by the hour. They also can charge by the amount of boxes they're moving. In either scenario, you want to minimize the expense. That means not moving with clutter. As you pack up your stuff, you're sure to fine plenty of things that you can do without. None of that should come with you to your new home. Junk King Sacramento can take care that with one phone call. These are the junk hauling experts that will not only clear out your home of all its unwanted clutter but also find a responsible place to dispose of it. Don't make a move to a new home without involving Junk King Sacramento.

Tubes – Pipes (steel)
Tubes Pipes (steel)
A pipe is a tubular section or hollow cylinder, usually but not necessarily of circular cross-section, used mainly to convey substances which can flow — liquids and gases (fluids), slurries, powders, masses of small solids. It can also be used for structural applications; hollow pipe is far stiffer per unit weight than solid members.
In common usage the words pipe and tube are usually interchangeable, but in industry and engineering, the terms are uniquely defined. Depending on the applicable standard to which it is manufactured, pipe is generally specified by a nominal diameter with a constant outside diameter (OD) and a schedule that defines the thickness. Tube is most often specified by the OD and wall thickness, but may be specified by any two of OD, inside diameter (ID), and wall thickness. Pipe is generally manufactured to one of several international and national industrial standards. While similar standards exist for specific industry application tubing, tube is often made to custom sizes and a broader range of diameters and tolerances. Many industrial and government standards exist for the production of pipe and tubing. The term "tube" is also commonly applied to non-cylindrical sections, i.e., square or rectangular tubing. In general, "pipe" is the more common term in most of the world, whereas "tube" is more widely used in the United States.
There are three processes for metallic pipe manufacture. Centrifugal casting of hot alloyed metal is one of the most prominent process. Ductile iron pipes are generally manufactured in such a fashion. Seamless (SMLS) pipe is formed by drawing a solid billet over a piercing rod to create the hollow shell. Historically seamless pipe was regarded as withstanding pressure better than other types, and was often more easily available than welded pipe. Advances since the 1970's in materials, process control and non-destructive testing allow correctly specified welded pipe to replace seamless in many applications. Welded (also Electric Resistance Welded ("ERW"), and Electric Fusion Welded ("EFW") pipe is formed by rolling plate and welding the seam. The weld flash can be removed from the outside or inside surfaces using a scarfing blade. The weld zone can also be heat treated to make the seam less visible. Welded pipe often has tighter dimensional tolerances than seamless, and can be cheaper if manufactured in the same quantities. Large-diameter pipe (25 centimetres or greater) may be ERW, EFW or Submerged Arc Welded ("SAW") pipe.
Tubing, either metal or plastic, is generally extruded.
Metallic pipes are commonly made from steel or iron; the finish and metal chemistry are peculiar to the use, fit and form. Typically metallic piping is made of steel or iron, such as unfinished, black (lacquer) steel, carbon steel, stainless steel or galvanized steel, brass, and ductile iron. Aluminum pipe or tubing may be utilized where iron is incompatible with the service fluid or where weight is a concern; aluminum is also used for heat transfer tubing such as in refrigerant systems. Copper tubing is popular for domestic water (potable) plumbing systems; copper may be used where heat transfer is desirable (i.e. radiators or heat exchangers). Inconel, chrome moly, and titanium steel alloys are used in high temperature and pressure piping in process and power facilities. When specifying alloys for new processes, the known issues of creep and sensitization effect must be taken into account.
Pipe sizes are specified by a number of national and international standards, including API 5L, ANSI/ASME B36.10M and B36.19M in the US, BS 1600 and BS EN 10255 in the United Kingdom and Europe.
Many different standards exist for pipe sizes, and their prevalence varies depending on industry and geographical area. The pipe size designation generally includes two numbers; one that indicates the outside (OD) or nominal diameter, and the other that indicates the wall thickness.
Pipes/tubes come into two categories with regard to manipulation and carriage by sea: 1) large (unprotected/protected) diameter pipes, shipped in single pieces; 2) small diameter pipes/tubes, shipped in bundles.
1) Unprotected large diameter pipes are usually manufactured from low carbon mild steel which may, if the thickness of the plate forming the pipe is not too great, originate from a hot rolled steel coil, slit into stripes (referred to as skelp) to form the width of the plate intended to be fabricated into a pipe. The long edges of the sheet, or plate, are brought together and welded to each other so forming a pipe. Such pipes usually have a visible weld running the full length of the pipe. Another method of manufacturing such pipes is by spiral welding when a flat strip of plate is wound to form a hollow spiral tube. Adjacent edges are welded together and the pipe is formed with a spiralling weld visible along its length.
Protected large diameter pipes, made of mild steel and cast iron, are protected by the application of special coatings which may be fusion bonded epoxy coatings, polyethylene coating, neoprene, bituminous materials, coal-tar and asphalt mastics.
2) To manufacture small diameter pipes (welded pipes/tubes), a strip is cut from a hot rolled coil to the width required to form the walls of the pipe, the edges are planed to a 'V' shape after which the strip is curled to the form of the pipe as it passes through rolls. This brings together the two prepared edges which are welded. After fairing of the welding and clearing the inside of the pipe by forcing a plug through it, the pipe is passed through an annealing furnace, thereafter being stretch reduced to size. The pipes are then cut to length and put through an ultrasonic test. Depending on customers' requirements the pipes may be given a protective coating, left with plain ends or threaded ends, or fitted with a sleeve, as the case may be.
Seamless pipes, sometimes referred to as 'solid drawn pipes' are a type of piping or tubing which is preferred for all purposes where internal pressure is high and service severe. The seamless pipe is achieved in three stages as described below. A round steel billet is removed from the furnace and the end is pierced in a rotary piercing mill. Thereafter, a mandrel is forced through the billet to transform it into a hollow cylinder. The cylinder is then put through a series of rollers so that it is elongated into a shell. There then takes place a final rolling, after reheating, to form the required size of tube. Again, depending on customers' requirements, the pipes may be given a protective coating, left with plain ends or threaded ends as the case may be. These small diameter pipes and tubes are used in the manufacture of bicycle frames, furniture for offices and homes, gardening tools and equipment, vehicle shock absorbers and exhaust pipes, boiler and condenser tubes, frameworks for the roofs of sheds, to mention but a few.
Hollow steel bars are created by forcing a hole through the centre of a round bar in much the same way as described for solid drawn pipes. They are used for structural and machinery applications and also in the oil industry. They are considered stronger than the average pipe of comparable size.
Small diameter pipes, which might be distinguished by the fact that they are not shipped loose but in bundles, will usually have a protective coating applied. They may be greased for protection, varnished, painted or galvanised.
Pipelines transporting gas or liquid over long distances
As components in mechanical systems such as: rollers in conveyor belts, compactors (e.g.: steam rollers), bearing casing
Casing for concrete pilings used in construction projects
High temperature or pressure manufacturing processes
The petroleum industry: Oil Well Casing, oil refinery equipment
Delivery of fluids, either gaseous or liquid, in a process plant from one point to another point in the process
Delivery of bulk solids, in a food or process plant from one point to another point in the process
The construction of high pressure storage vessels (note that large pressure vessels are constructed from plate, not pipe owing to their wall thickness and size).
Shipment / storage
Very careful handling and adequate stowage, blocking and bracing is necessary to avoid damage. Exceeding the stacking limits may result in deformation of pipes in the lower parts of the stow(s).
Large diameter pipes
Damages to the bevelling on the end of a pipe may eventuate in the defective end having to be cut off and rebevelled. Such damage is usually in the form of a nick or score mark which has depth. Shippers often specify that any pre-shipment remarks, regarding this type of damage, should clearly state the depth of the defect. It is indicated that incisions in excess of 3 mm will result in reconditioning being necessary. On the other hand, minor incisions, score or chafe marks should always be considered as a defect which may or may not result in eventual loss to the end user of the goods.
Denting on the end of the pipe can result in the end being out of round to such an extent that it cannot be welded to the end of another pipe. The length of pipe which is so affected may have to be cut off and rebevelled. An appreciable dent on the body of the pipe may pull the ends off square to such an extent that the pipe is rendered useless and has to be scrapped. These types of pipes are usually shipped without any protection against the development of rust.
The coatings of protected large diameter pipes are applied on the understanding that they will remain intact. During manipulation, owing to the cumbersome nature of large pipes and their weight, the coatings often sustain some degree of damage.
Small diameter pipes
Owing to their thin wall structure, small diameter pipes will not withstand too much rust development before they become defective. Further to this, rain water, usually with a high PH in industrial areas, remains as free moisture within the bundles and can cause serious damage. Also, rust formation on small pipes can provoke claims in respect of commercial depreciation. Hence, small diameter pipes should always be kept dry. For carriage by sea, galvanised tubes should be given a passivating dip usually in a di-chromate solution. The packaging of small diameter pipes requires special consideration and it is recommended that when possible these pipes are bundled in such a manner that their ends form a hexagonal shape, being well strapped up with tensioned flat metal strapping bands.
Steel cargo is at risk of corrosion. There are two main causes of corrosion:
1) Pure oxidation
2) Electrochemical decomposition of the metal due to the presence of an electrolyte (.e.g. salts, acids, bases).
Pure oxidation means a combination of the ferrous metal with atmospheric oxygen. Oxidation is assisted by electrochemical (electrolytic) processes. The extent of electrolytic decomposition is determined by the conductivity of the electrolyte present. For example, salt water is more conductive than fresh water and therefore has a greater corrosive effect. The effect of sulfurous acid is even more extreme.
If corrosion damage is suspected, testing is performed using the silver nitrate method, to find out whether chloride solutions or fresh water are the cause.
Thin-walled pipes of a relatively small diameter are in particular highly sensitive to corrosion, for which reason such pipes are frequently provided with a protective coating.
In the case of pipes made from hot-rolled steel, it is usual to store them in the open and to transport them without protection, such that no protection is provided against rain etc.. Such pipes therefore generally exhibit a layer of surface rust (rust film). Since the rust is removed from the steel (by pickling) prior to further processing, the quality of the steel is not adversely affected. Hot-rolled material must also be protected from chloride solutions (e.g. seawater or fertilizers) as pickling cannot remove uneven local corrosion or pitting corrosion. Especially in the case of damage by salt water, the pipes should be rinsed off with fresh water as soon as possible after arrival with the receiver and then pickled because significant delay prior to pickling may have the above-stated consequences. For reasons of quality maintenance, the aim should always be to store, handle and transport the sheets in the dry.
Surface coated pipes (e.g. galvanized pipes) are more sensitive to corrosion than those made from hot-rolled steel, such that the former should additionally be packed in fiber-reinforced packing or plastic-coated kraft paper and plastic films. It is therefore important to keep moisture away at all times; unprotected storage in the open or unprotected cargo handling in wet weather should be avoided. Moisture may, for example, give rise to a white bloom on the zinc coating. If rain or condensation water penetrates between stacked galvanized pipes, the thin, protective zinc oxide layer does not form, but rather a thicker layer of pure zinc oxide.
Pre-shipment surveys
Most steel products rust and bend easily, particularly when carried at sea. Shipowners and operators – and ultimately their P&I insurers – are therefore usually first in the firing line when bent and rusty steel arrives at destination.
As a result, shipowners, carriers, operators and P&I clubs now regularly commission independent pre-shipment surveys of steel cargoes to ensure that bills of lading and/or mate's receipts accurately describe the apparent order and condition of the cargo when it was taken on board the ship. As a further precaution against rust claims, surveyors are also generally now asked to look at the watertightness and ventilation of the holds in which steel cargo is carried.

Q: What software is Hans Rosling using in this presentation? In Hans Rosling's presentation on Human Development Trends he shows a scatter plot which explodes in to subsets of data. Does anyone know what software was used to create this presentation? I have played with the gapminder software and trendalyzer already and know that they are not capable of doing this.
Here is a link to the entire slideshow: Gapminder Website

A: I just got an email back from Gapminder, this presentation was handmade in flash.

A: @fideli - Thanks for the clarification. I am looking for the software that generated the flash. To answer your question about his other software, he is using Gapminder. You can check it out HERE. If you would like to use your own data, Google has adopted the technology from trendalyzer and is available at:
code.google.com/apis/visualization/documentation/gallery/motionchart.html

A: For the backend  I have researched a bit , the programming language is "R".
There are many libraries! E.g. "ggplot2".
I am sure there are also some specifically created by the Gapminder-Foundation-Trendalyzer-Team and probably not known to the general public since Google's buy of the Trendalyzer-Software.
