5 things to do for free in New Delhi
Sunday, September 30, 2012
NEW DELHI — The capital of India is a bustling hub of 17 million people and one of the centers of modern Indian life. It is chaotic and crowded, yet filled with beautiful gardens and history dating back thousands of years. There are massive monuments from the Mughal kings of the 16th and 17th centuries as well as to the British Raj of the early 20th Century. Many monuments and museums charge for entry, but there are still a few fascinating experiences visitors can have for free.

Milton settles land use tax issue
Monday, February 25, 2013
MILTON — The Board of Selectmen and members of the Conservation Commission met on Monday evening and reached a cordial agreement on how revenues from the town's land use tax, now in the town's general fund, should be transferred to a dedicated conservation account.
Town Administrator Joe Ryan reminded the board that although the general fund has over $2 million in it at present, most of this was needed to run the town through June, when the next property tax bills start coming in. Selectman Bob Bridges made a motion that $24,619 be transferred to conservation immediately, with the understanding that the board would look at the town's fiscal state in July, and determine how much more of the $100,000, still due, could be paid. Selectman Tom Gray seconded the motion, and on a vote, it passed 2-1, with Selectmen Bob Srnec stating that he preferred to wait until after the town voted on the proposed budget in March.
When families want to donate easements on their land, surveying and legal costs are racked up, and it is these that are met, at least in part, by conservation funds.
"We don't want to look like Rochester North," he said.

Companies seeking planners' OK for gravel pits, new road Abutter intends to present petition against the project at Wednesday's hearing
Thursday, January 31, 2013
SANFORD — The Sanford Planning Board will hold a public hearing this Wednesday, Feb. 6, regarding applications for two mineral-extraction pits and a single "haul road" to be built on sites adjacent to Sandy Point Road, just off Route 4.
The city notified abutters within 250 feet of the roughly 27-acre site about the meeting on the 16th. Abutters include residents on Twombley Road, Westview Drive, Eastview Drive, Farview Drive, Great Works Drive, and others.
"There can be no positive impact upon this area by constructing, operating and maintaining a gravel pit, and the project will further negatively impact the neighboring residents' value, quality and enjoyment of their property, due to potential excessive noise, water and air pollution as a result of developing this site," the petition says.
"We've studied this for, gosh, three years now," Genest said on Tuesday.

Dolphin stranded in polluted New York canal
POSTED: Saturday, January 26, 2013 - 3:00am
UPDATED: Saturday, January 26, 2013 - 3:04am
NEW YORK (CNN) — Much like New York's once missing Bronx Zoo cobra and peacock, a dolphin stranded in Brooklyn's heavily polluted Gowanus Canal has earned itself a Twitter following.
"I will get out of this alive. Thank you for your support," one post read on the Twitter feed.
Emergency personnel gathered Friday alongside the canal, which borders Brooklyn's Red Hook neighborhood, in an effort to rescue the marine mammal, which had inadvertently become trapped in the channel's muck and mud.
"Because there is no shoreline or easy way to get to the dolphin, investigators will only monitor it," said Rob DiGiovanni, Riverhead Foundation's director and senior biologist. "It's very uncommon for a dolphin or any marine animal to be in the Gowanus, but it's happened before."
DiGiovanni said rescuers planned to wait until high tide to determine whether the creature could free itself before considering additional steps. NYPD Deputy Commissioner Paul J. Browne said emergency service units were also on scene to evaluate the situation.
In 2011, an escaped Egyptian cobra slithered its way onto the Internet, where the reptile won tens of thousands of Twitter fans.
But the Gowanus dolphin's account was suspended shortly after it surfaced Friday afternoon.
-- CNN's Lawrence Crook contributed to this report.

Compression spinal fracture
A compression fracture is a break in the vertebral body of the bone often due to the loss of bony calcium that occurs in osteoporosis. As the bones of the vertebral column and back weaken and become thin, very little force is needed to cause a compression fracture. These breaks can be painful and depending upon the severity they can require a range of treatment from pain relievers and home care to surgery.

Dear Listeners and Viewers:
This fall, ETV accepted a special gift from ETV Endowment donors: a brand new and shining radio facility. In October, the ETV Endowment and ETV said thank you to donors for their incredible efforts with a special ribbon-cutting ceremony. Then in November, we welcomed the community to see the studios first-hand.
Located at the network's Telecommunications Center, the new radio facilities will provide world-class studios and editing facilities, uninterrupted power, accommodations for large performance groups, and dedicated editing suites for ETV Radio's original programs like Piano Jazz Rising Stars, Chamber Music from the Spoleto Festival USA, and more programs still to be envisioned.
Here's a look at ETV Radio's new home:

Mountain biking and BMX can be rough and tumble sports, so it's nice know that t.h.e. is there to offer you the ultimate protective gear with their Maxi Elbow Guard. The Maxi Elbow Guard utilizes German engineered SAS-TEC viscoelastic insert foam that reacts to impacts by dissipating the force throughout the material. Simply, the SAS-TEC will absorb that crash and then be ready for the next one. This durability leads t.h.e. to ensure that the Maxi Guards have an anticipated life expectancy of ten years. SAS-TEC is already widely used in the motorcycle industry and now t.h.e. is bringing that technology to bicycle protective gear.
Protective gear that isn't comfortable is a chore to wear or worse yet, may be left behind and that could spell disaster. The t.h.e. Maxi Elbow Guard is built around a neoprene sleeve that has been perforated for ventilation and a low profile design that can fit under your pants. The lightweight design and the comfortable SAS-TEC translates to all day comfort. For added durability, the outside of the Maxi Elbow Guard is covered with a Kevlar fabric that resists tearing. When the Maxi Guards get dirty, they can easily be hand washed to keep them fresh for the next ride.

Comments about T.H.E. Maxi Elbow Pads:
The size chart is way off. These must be for kids because they would never fit an adult male. I purchased an XL and couldn't even fit it on my arms, and Im not a big guy. A large should have fit fine. Jenson should take these off their site or change the sizing. Total waste of money. Gave them to a medium sized woman.

Comments about T.H.E. Maxi Elbow Pads:
I have T.H.E. Storms in Med. and they fit perfect. So I buy these in medium for a more minimal pad and they barely fit over my fore-arms, are extremely tight and forget about the straps even fitting around my arms. T.H.E. should pay for return shipping.

Comments about T.H.E. Maxi Elbow Pads:
The sizing chart must be way off. These would maybe fit a 12 year old boy. The sleeves are tight, but I can barely get them on. However, the staps won't even fit around my arm. I'm only 165Lbs...not a large man!

All subspecies of chimpanzee are listed as 'endangered' by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). The Chimpanzee subspecies that occurs in the project area of Herakles Farms is the "Nigeria-Cameroon Chimpanzee" . Scientists estimate that as little as 3,500 individuals may exist in the wild. This project, if it is allowed to go ahead, would put the species under even more pressure.

Using the assets created by marketing in a box
This article explains how to use the various assets that are generated by the Digital Marketing Tool in Marketing in a Box.
Note: This is a community entry in the Series 40 Webinars - Contribute and Win Competition 2013Q1 with Marketing in a Box competition.
Marketing in a Box provides guidance and tools for developers to successfully market their application. It primarily consists of two things:
Marketing Guidance provides you various tips that provides guidance on how to successfully generate large number of downloads (correspondingly revenue) for an application.For more information,check out the marketing guidance pdf here.
Digital Marketing tools provides you 4 different types of assets for the purpose of marketing. They include:
- Video
- Web Page
- Facebook tab page
- Banners
There are various ways in which you can use these assets once created.It depends on your creativity. Some of the most common ways are listed below for each asset.
The video generated via the Digital Marketing Tool is directly published into your youtube account.Videos are the best way to capture your audience's attention.The Digital Marketing Tool enables you to create videos in over 8 languages.
Social networking sites are the best place to share this video.Make sure you reach out to as many people as possible. Nothing can beat the time tested "Word-of-mouth" marketing strategy.Hence ask your friends to share the video if they like it. A potential user would prefer to use an application which his/her friend is recommending than an unknown application.
If the video "goes viral", it will automatically boost your downloads beyond proportion. You can expect exponential growth all of a sudden. If you plan on spending money for your app,you can also consider video advertising.
Web Page
A webpage for your application becomes a must for various reasons.You can use it to showcase lot of things like app gallery,customer support etc. You need not be a web expert to in order to create a good looking website. Thanks to Nokia's Marketing in a Box, you would have obtained a nice looking web page ready with the digital marketing toolkit.
Next step is to host the webpage in a domain.You can either buy a domain or get a free domain.Once you have obtained a domain,simply upload the web asset into the server and the website for your app will be ready.
Populating your website (for beginners)
If you are familiar with web technologies,then I highly recommend you to skip to the next paragraph.If hosting is new to you,I will give a short intro to this topic without getting much into the complex details.
The process of getting the web asset into your website requires just three simple steps:
- Once you have obtained a website ,say www.mysite.com, you will be provided a ftp account to login.Login to it using an FTP client.
- You may have a folder like public_html ,where you can put the contents of your website.Copy-paste your website code here.
- You may, if you wish, create a subdirectory for your app and copy paste the content there.
Your website would now have the contents that you have obtained via the Digital Marketing Tool.
Facebook Tab
In this present world scenario, social networking is very dominant. Take it to your advantage. An active social site can determine the success or failure of your application. The Digital Marketing Tool provides a facebook tab page that caters to this need.
In order to use the facebook tab,you will need to have a facebook page.Creating a facebook page is simple.Equally so is the process of creating a facebook tab.
Detailed instructions on creating a facebook tab is given here.
It is important that you include features for social relation. The user must be able to like your facebook page from within the application.This allows you to keep in touch with your loyal customers.
It is also important to make sure that you understand customer needs and difficulties.These are best met with the help of social networking sites.A simple poll on your facebook page can help you determine what are the next steps to be taken to make your application better.
If you are in need of a complex & anonymous poll, you can as well create a google doc and use it for taking the poll.Use the data obtained wisely to make conscious decisions about your applications.This facility, if provided within Digital Marketing toolkit,would be of great use.
Banners are provided by the Digital Marketing tool in three or four different variants, namely:
- MMA mobile web banners
- IAB online banners
- Spotlight size(only for S40)
- Nokia Ad exchange
MMA mobile web banner sizes are a standard used for mobile advertisements. You can use these banners for mobile advertising provided by various companies.
IAB online banner size are the standard used for web based advertisements. You can use these for creating an ad in your blog,website etc.
Spotlight size is a specific variant that is used only for promotion of S40 apps. Update the spotlight banner in your Nokia publisher account for the corresponding application.
The Nokia Ad exchange size are used for promotion in Nokia Ad exchange. It is a free service that is being offered to developers to generate revenue via In-app advertising.
Marketing in a Box is a great tool provided by Nokia.All the marketing requirements of the developer can be easily met via Marketing in a Box. This article talks about the various ways in which the four assets generated via the Digital Marketing Toolkit can be used.

How to Select
How to Shop for Bathroom Faucets
Bathroom faucets account for a large portion of water usage in your home. A leaky faucet can become a major heating energy and water waster, allowing the unused water along with the energy used to heat it to go down the drain. Leakage losses caused by defective bathroom faucets account for between five and ten percent of household water consumption, which is why choosing high-quality faucets for your bathroom is especially important.
Selecting the right bathroom faucets can be quite a bewildering task. The choice is limitless not only in terms of styles, colors, textures and finishes, but also in terms of modes of operation, the number of holes required and the mounting method.
Based on the mode of operation, bathroom faucets can be hand-operated or electronic. The latter usually feature sensors that release water without touch and allow you to wash hands without dealing with handles that may be dirty. Sensor-triggered faucets are also safe from excess dripping and therefore can save approximately 75% of the water as compared to standard faucet fixtures. These devices typically use solar power or batteries to operate.
Bathroom faucets may also require a different number of holes, from one for a monobloc to four-hole bath/shower faucets (hot, cold, spout, shower). They can be mounted on the basin or bath, wall-hung, floor-mounted or worktop-mounted. Your choice will be probably defined by whether you prefer an asymmetrical look with a tap that is placed to the right or left, or a more classic style with several holed faucets or two taps placed in the center.
The design of the faucet also depends on your bathroom. Victorian faucets in oil rubbed bronze or brass with their pleasing curves would look great in a period bathroom, while a modern one would be the right fit for almost any styles in chrome or brushed nickel. An understated contemporary faucet that can emphasize a clean-lined ambience would do the trick for a chic, minimalist-style bathroom.
As far as prices go, saving on bathroom faucets is not the best idea. Inexpensive faucets may mix cold and hot water unevenly and end up costing you more in the long run. Invest in high-quality bathroom faucets that will provide years of high performance and allow you to be in complete control of water pressure and temperature. Despite being the most frequently used fixture in the bath, the better quality faucets will age well and serve you substantially longer, making you forget about constant drips.

My sister celebrated her 30th birthday recently, and to celebrate my parents hosted an amazing party in our house…something we have not done in about 10 years. In fact the last time my sister had a birthday party at home, she was still in primary school and I believe I was scarily obsessed with barbie dolls that could 'have babies' with the push of a button! Safe to say it was quite some time ago!
One thing that really made the party special, was that we had a professional photographer on hand who took some really amazing photos of the party, capturing the smiles, the laughs and the overall mood perfectly. It was also the ideal opportunity for us as a family to have some family portraits shot, something we have never done before.
Here are some of my favourite photos from the night, with special thanks to Christian Haubold. Enjoy!

Isn't the proof in the pudding? Nvidia is said to be better than ATI on linux, isn't it?
Corporate is a capitalist entity, not a charity. It's a business. I leave "care for Linux" to non-profit organizations, not to AMD or NVidia. They don't "care" for Linux or Windows or any other OS. They provide working drivers for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and other systems not because they care for the well being of those systems, but for their customers being able to buy their hardware and use it on those platforms.
IMO, NVidia could reply in kind with "fuck you, Linus, for trying to upset our business model." If they want to have a closed-source model, it's their damn right. This isn't North Korea where you can force others to follow your own philosophies. If Linux can't accommodate such models (no driver ABI), it's a Linux shortcoming, not an NVidia one.

Isn't the proof in the pudding? Nvidia is said to be better than ATI on linux, isn't it?
at the end of the video he says "i don't care if i offend people because people who get offended should be offended"
that should proboboly end up in a few high school quotes.
what i don't understand is how it comes to that radeon and noveau drivers are on par (at least from my point of view) why isn't radeon driver much better than noveau?
This policy has led to a huge amount of hardware companies either supplying/cooperating on open source drivers or atleast providing the necessary documentation, again resulting in Linux supporting more hardware out of the box than any other system.
NVidia is one of the few holdouts, instead choosing to maintain an out-of-tree proprietary driver which is an option for anyone who won't provide an open source driver/documentation.
When it comes to Linux support, it all depends on the definition of "support".
NVIDIA is like the guy who gives out free meals each day.
While it looks and tastes fantastic, you don't know what's in it.
It may be poisoned one day or it might happen that the guy will never turn up again.
AMD, on the other hand, shares dry bread but also gives you a piece of land
and some tools to grow your own stuff.
IMHO AMD is significantly more in line with the "idea" of Linux.
NVIDIA surely isn't, so I would agree with Torvalds.
p.s. Yeah, "Worst example of the day award" is mine.
And obviously it's paying off as more and more companies want to have their hardware supported by Linux and not having to maintain the driver themselves to prevent bit-rot while also having their hardware working out-of-the-box anywhere Linux is deployed is also a boon.

Wolfteam Overview
Wolfteam is an innovative MMO shooter by Softnyx that truly spices up the genre. Players can transform from marines to melee-oriented wolves at any time with the click of a button. This unique gameplay element alone adds a great deal of strategy to the game, and also adds some variety to a genre that's well known for imitation and lack of creativity. The game has a whopping thirty-five different 'primary weapons', and a fair array of 'secondary' and 'misc' weapons for players to use, which makes Wolfteam one of the most varied MMOFPS games out there.
Wolfteam Screenshots
Wolfteam Feature Video
Wolfteam Full Review
By, Omer Altay
Wolfteam is a breath of fresh air into the MMO shooter genre, as the game does something that most shooters don't -innovate. The game borrows the 'good' features from other established MMORPGs and builds on it, rather than just copying them and changing a few cosmetics and labeling it as a new game. Wolfteam has the incredibly polished gameplay of titles like Combat Arms and S4 League, mixed with its own splash of uniqueness. The game's 'uniqueness' is the ability for players to switch the standard MMO FPS marine to an armored and fast melee-oriented 'wolf' at anytime.
Wait what? Marines to Wolves? What's going on here?!
Wolfteam plays a lot like every other MMO tactical shooter, but the twist here is that players can at anytime switch from their standard first person 'marine' to a tough and agile melee-oriented 'wolf' that can run on walls and jump incredibly high. This aspect of Wolfteam introduces a great deal of strategy to the game, as players now have to be able quickly transform at the right time. At times you may find yourself having to decide whether you're better off reloading your gun or transforming into a wolf to claw at your enemy. Wolfteam definitely has a stronger emphasis on 'marine' gameplay, but both 'marines' and 'wolves' have their own distinct advantages and disadvantages. A 'marine' can usually quickly kill an enemy wolf from a distance, but if they're within melee range a 'wolf' can quickly dispose of any marine within seconds, so players will have to master when to transform.
Okay, nuff Wolf talk, What about the core gameplay?
Aside from the game's unique transformation component, Wolfteam's core gameplay is incredibly fun and polished. Players can play with up to 16 people online in four different game modes. The four game modes are conquest, deathmatch, destruction, and wolf conquest. One thing to note in Wolfteam is that all of the game mode's are team-based, so even though deathmatch may sound like it's a 'free for all', it's not. I'm not sure why Softnyx didn't just label it 'team deathmatch', as it would have been more accurate. 'Conquest' mode is a base capturing game where players on each team have to secure all or as many of the five bases as possible on the map within the game's times limit. The team that captures all of the bases wins, or if no team captures all of the bases, the team with the most bases wins. 'Deathmatch' is pretty straight forward, whichever team reaches a pre-determined amount of kills first wins. 'Destruction' involves one team planting a bomb, while the other tries to defuse it, similar to the gameplay mechanics of Counter-Strike. 'Wolf Conquest' is the same thing as 'conquest', but one team is composed of entirely marines while the other is made up of all wolves. The game's multiple modes definitely help spice up the game, but the most popular modes online are without a doubt Deathmatch and Conquest. One of the Wolfteam's most attractive aspects is the fact that the game has a huge selection of weapons and items in the store.
Weapons Galore
Wolfteam has the hands-down largest selection of purchasable weapons of any MMO shooter. After quickly browsing the store, I counted thirty-five primary weapons, but after checking Wolf Team's official site, I discovered that the game actually had a whopping forty-five primary assault weapons and ten primary long range weapons. The game's assault weapons range from the popular AK-47's and M16s to the more obscure SZ-552 N's and EXM-26CS's, while ranged primary weapons include I-115 WT bolt action snipers to EM-72 A5 LAW rocket launchers. Aside from primary assault and ranged weapons, Wolfteam also has secondary weapons and grenades, so the actual total number of weapons is even higher I previously stated. The fact is that Wolfteam simply has a massive array of weapons and items to purchase in the game's store makes it the most content-rich MMO shooter out there. On top of the incredible selection of weapons, the game also allows players to customize weapons by upgrading them with better parts, so the total possible weapon combinations and upgrades are almost limitless.
Features Galore
Wolfteam just has a lot of content to keep you coming back. The game's ranking system, for example, has an incredible sixty-two different ranks, or 'levels', ranging from the lowly 'Recruit' to the glamorous 'General of the Army'. Certain weapons and items have rank requirements, so you'll need to up your rank before you can begin using some of the more powerful weapons Wolfteam has to offer. Unlike other MMORPGs that let players freely use their most powerful weapons online, Wolfteam has a system to keep games balanced, as players can only use their most powerful weapons once they earn enough 'WP', which is basically currency in the actual matches themselves. Think of it like this -whenever you purchase a weapon in the game's store for the first time, you basically purchase the right to be able to use it in an actual game, but in order to use it in the game, you have to purchase it with 'WP' points earned in that match by getting kills. This system may seem a bit awkward, but it's an incredibly creative way to prevent the players with the best guns from having a ridiculously unfair advantage because they won't be able to constantly use their best weapons. Wolfteam just has an incredible amount of content, so if you're even remotely entertained by shooters, there's no reason not to download this game and give it a go.
Final Verdict: Excellent
All in all, Wolfteam is one of the best MMO shooting games out there. Its polished gameplay, coupled with the incredible amount of content, results in pure fun. The only problem is that the game does have some hackers who can quickly ruin things for everyone.

Excerpted from The Last Christian by David Gregory. Copyright © 2010 by David Gregory. Excerpted by permission of WaterBrook Press, a division of Random House LLC. All rights reserved. No part of this excerpt may be reproduced or reprinted without permission in writing from the publisher.
DAVID GREGORY is the author of Dinner with a Perfect Stranger, A Day with a Perfect Stranger, The Next Level, The Last Christian, and the coauthor of the nonfiction The Rest of the Gospel. After a ten-year business career, he returned to school to study religion and communications, earning Master's degrees from Dallas Theological Seminary and the University of North Texas. A native of Texas, he now lives in the Pacific Northwest.
1. The Last Christian highlights a mixture of rapidly developing sciences, including bioengineering, virtual reality and nano-robotics. These developments can be seen for their positive benefits or for the way they handicap the spiritual life. What do you see as the potential benefits of such advancements? The potential dangers? How should Christians approach technology and scientific advancements? Should they take a posture of fear?
2. In 2088, The Last Christian portrays relationships in the United States as being mostly interacted online, on the Grid. Indicators presently point us toward more virtual community and into a certain kind of isolation. What can believers do to understand that community and to foster relationships even as technology drives us further from actual human contact?
3. The Last Christian presents a world in which most diseases have been cured and people regularly live past 120. If you expected to live past 120, what effect would that expectation have on the way you live your life? What effect do you think such a change would have on most people's lives?
4. What do you think most people would choose: a consciousness without end, as Bryson Nichols envisioned, but also without God, or a normal lifespan with the presence of God? Why? Which would you choose?
5. Is there a point at which the use of technology and an active walk of faith with God become mutually exclusive? In what ways, if any, does your use of technology impede the closeness of your relationship with God?
6. According to the story, what is deficient in Abby's understanding of the Christian life as she comes to America? Is she suffering from a lack of trying hard? In what ways do you see this deficiency in your own life or the lives of Christians in general?
7. What does Abby's grandfather Ray attempt to communicate with her? Why does Abby struggle to understand his message?
8. What are the implications of Ray's spiritual message for you personally? Does it change your understanding of what a faith walk with God means? How?
9. What is the spiritual epiphany that Abby has on the train? How does this new awareness affect the way she sees and responds to things in the remainder of the story?
10. In his lecture to his college class, Creighton lists five primary reasons for the demise of Christianity in the U.S.
(a) Do you see any of these trends at work now in the culture? In what ways?
(b) Which of these trends do you think is the most serious problem confronting the Christian faith?
(c) What do you expect will be the results of the trends you see on (i) society at large, and (ii) the church?
11. Do you see characteristics or trends in the church in America that will prevent it from going the way of secular Europe?
12. What feelings did starting a book called The Last Christian evoke in you?
13. In the book, Abby has some strong reactions to what she sees as the negatives of American culture in 2088. What are some of the things she reacts against? Do you see any of these same issues in today's American culture? How have these cultural factors influenced your own life?
14. What threats to free religious expression and freedom of speech have you noticed in the news? What do you think might be the long-term outcome of such threats?
15. What do you think is the main inner conflict Creighton experiences with regard to whether or not to get the brain transplant? What makes him decide in a certain direction? How did you react to his decision? Why?
16. What are the competing ultimate realities expounded by Abby and Bryson Nichols in their conversation at his estate? Which reality do you think is correct? What would you say to someone who asked you to defend your answer?
17. What do you think is the primary message of the final scene of the book, the conversation between Hutch Hardin and Creighton? What implications does this message have for your life?
18. What were the primary effects The Last Christian had upon you? What did it make you think about afterwards? What feelings did it evoke? What, if anything, did it make you ponder concerning your own life?

|The Bahamas Hosts The Caribbean EPI Managers
During November 17– 21, 2008, the Bahamas was host to the Caribbean Managers of the Expanded Program on Immunization as they convened their 25th Annual Meeting at the Sheraton Nassau Beach Hotel in Nassau, Bahamas. This meeting was sponsored by the Regional Immunization Program, based at PAHO's Headquarters in Washington, DC, USA; the Caribbean Epidemiology Centre located in Port-of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago [CAREC/PAHO/WHO]; the Ministry of Health of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas; and PAHO/WHO Bahamas Representation.
The opening ceremony, chaired by the Chief Medical Officer of the Ministry of Health of the Bahamas, Dr. Merceline Dahl-Regis, featured a Parade of Flags by the Royal Bahamas Defense Force and musical renditions by the Royal Bahamas Police Force Band. The PAHO/WHO Representative for the Bahamas, Dr. Merle Lewis, congratulated the EPI managers on their achievements over the past twenty-five (25) years and noted that a number of successful partnerships had been forged in order to extend protection for children through vaccination. She further stated that the EPI managers had not only achieved important milestones in disease elimination but that they had also won gold medals for being the first sub-region to achieve measles, rubella and CRS elimination. She also noted that The Governments of the countries of the Caribbean Community had played a pivotal role in providing appropriate funding for their national immunization programs.
The objectives of the meeting were reviewed by the PAHO Regional Coordinator of the Comprehensive Family Immunization Project, Dr. Cuauhtémoc Ruiz-Matus, who also gave a brief history of the EPI in the Caribbean. He noted that under the technical guidance of the PAHO/WHO sub-regional Immunization Officer, the Caribbean EPI embarked upon a full implementation phase during the years 1978 to 1980. By the end of 1980, each country had identified a program manager responsible for the planning and implementation of the EPI. The first EPI course on Planning, Management and Evaluation was held in St. Kitts, during December 5-14, 1979. During 1981, EPI training workshops were conducted in 9 countries with the aim of improving immunization coverage through better planning, management and evaluation procedures. This led to the first Caribbean EPI Managers' Sub-regional meeting, which was held in Kingston, Jamaica during September 14-18, 1981. Dr. Ruiz-Matus also publicly acknowledged a special invitee, Mr. Henry C. Smith, who was the first Immunization Officer for the sub-region, and noted that Mr. Smith had played a catalytic role in the origin of EPI Managers meetings.
The keynote address of this meeting was given by the Honorable Dr. Hubert A. Minnis, Member of Parliament and Minister of Health, who noted that since the inception of the immunization program in the 1970s, The Bahamas had achieved high vaccination coverage of administered antigens and had, consequently, experienced a reduction in morbidity and mortality from vaccine preventable diseases. He attributed the affordability of the vaccines to the use of the PAHO Revolving Fund. The Bahamas, in taking an aggressive approach to protect the wealth and health of their nation, have ensured that disease surveillance was timely and effective and that the EPI remained a priority, even though there are economic challenges. The Minister pointed out that a major challenge because the Bahamas will need to identify or create fiscal space in its budget in order to procure new vaccines. He reiterated that the country and the collective mission were to eradicate, eliminate or reduce vaccine-preventable diseases as an integral part of primary health care. He wished participants a fruitful and productive meeting as they work to combat the global challenges of the immunization program.
The purpose of each of the annual sub-regional meetings of the Immunization Program was defined as follows:
