An assessment of the quality of care for children in eighteen randomly selected district and sub-district hospitals in Bangladesh
Global and public health and healthcare
Quality hospital care is important in ensuring that the needs of severely ill children are met to avert child mortality. However, the quality of hospital care for children in developing countries has often been found poor. As the first step of a country road map for improving hospital care for children, we assessed the baseline situation with respect to the quality of care provided to children under-five years age in district and sub-district level hospitals in Bangladesh.
Using adapted World Health Organization (WHO) hospital assessment tools and standards, an assessment of 18 randomly selected district (n=6) and sub-district (n=12) hospitals was undertaken. Teams of trained assessors used direct case observation, record review, interviews, and Management Information System (MIS) data to assess the quality of clinical case management and monitoring; infrastructure, processes and hospital administration; essential hospital and laboratory supports, drugs and equipment.
Findings demonstrate that the overall quality of care provided in these hospitals was poor. No hospital had a functioning triage system to prioritise those children most in need of immediate care. Laboratory supports and essential equipment were deficient. Only one hospital had all of the essential drugs for paediatric care. Less than a third of hospitals had a back-up power supply, and just under half had functioning arrangements for safe-drinking water. Clinical case management was found to be sub-optimal for prevalent illnesses, as was the quality of neonatal care.
Action is needed to improve the quality of paediatric care in hospital settings in Bangladesh, with a particular need to invest in improving newborn care.
Quality of care provided to children in hospital settings in low-income countries has generally been found to be poor
The Government of Bangladesh (GoB) adopted the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) in 1998 as a key strategy to reduce child mortality and improve child development
Studies in Ethiopia and Bangladesh have reported that 12-34% of children that come into contact with first-level facilities require referral to hospital care for further assessment and treatment
Health system context in Bangladesh
In Bangladesh formal health services are provided by a range of public, private and non-government organization (NGO) providers. It has been estimated that there are approximately 4,400 of first level government facilities in Bangladesh
The next tier of service is composed of some 417 sub-district hospitals called
Quality improvement processes
The WHO framework for improving hospital care to children under five years of age outlines seven interconnected steps in the quality improvement process
The WHO has developed a number of generic assessment tools for evaluating the quality of hospital care to children; each of which has been developed based upon available evidence. The WHO
Given concerns about the quality of, and limited information about hospital care in Bangladesh, we undertook a baseline assessment of the quality of care for under five children in randomly selected government district and sub-district hospitals in Bangladesh as these are where severely ill children are most likely to be referred to. We also sought to compare the current practices in these hospitals with evidence-based guidelines, using the WHO developed pocket book of hospital care for children, to initiate quality improvement in the health sector
Selection of facilities
Six district hospitals from a number of districts across the country were randomly selected for inclusion in the assessment. All the districts in each of the six divisions in Bangladesh were assigned a number. A random number generator computer program was then used to randomly select one district from each division, and then a district hospital was chosen from each of the six randomly selected districts.
Twelve sub-district hospitals were also included in the assessment. Sub-district hospitals in the selected six districts were stratified in two strata- hospitals having IMCI program and hospitals having both IMCI and emergency obstetric (EmOC) program. One hospital from each of the strata was selected randomly, using the same procedure applied for district hospitals selection (Figure

Assessment tools
Adapted versions of the WHO developed generic assessment tools were used for our assessment. Adaptation of the tools was conducted through workshops involving leading paediatricians, hospital administrators and relevant government and NGO programme personnel in Bangladesh. The tool was then field tested prior to use in the study.
The final assessment tool included sections on hospital layout, essential drugs, supplies and equipment; laboratory support; emergency area and emergency management; neonatal care and case management for acute respiratory infections, diarrhoea, febrile illness and malnutrition; supportive care and monitoring; hospital administration; access to hospital care; and quality of care.
A total of 31 assessors were selected to undertake hospital assessments. Assessors were physicians and GoB and NGO programme personnel with experience in the area of child health. All assessors received three days training, facilitated by individuals who participated in the initial adaptation workshop. Assessors also participated in field practice sessions.
Assessment of hospitals
Each team consisting of two paediatricians and two programme personnel conducted assessments at selected hospitals in May 2009. Assessments of each hospital took two days for teams to complete. Direct observation of clinical case management was undertaken wherever possible. When there were not sufficient patients for direct case observations, assessors reviewed clinical records. Assessors also conducted interviews with hospital staff and, if needed, used simulated cases when no case could be observed nor record could be found. The extraction of data from hospital Management Information System (MIS) reports was also used as another source of information.
Assessors scored hospitals on many of the dimensions in the adapted tool with respect to current WHO guidelines and standards, which were detailed in the tool. For individual and overall scoring, points from 5 to 1 were awarded: 5 for good practice complying with standards of care, 4 indicating little need for improvement to reach standard care, 3 meaning some need for improvement to reach standards of care, 2 indicating considerable need for improvement to reach standards of care and 1 for services not provided, or inadequate care and potentially life-threatening practices.
The results of completed hospital assessment tools were checked for consistency. A customized data entry programme was developed with the necessary consistency checks. After data entry and cleaning, the data was analyzed using SPSS version 12.
Ethical consideration
Approval for health facility assessment and data collection was obtained from Directorate General of Health Services under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare of Government of Bangladesh. Hospital assessment was an activity which documented the existing practice and situation at public health facilities. Since the assessment of the hospitals was conducted as part of quality of care improvement process at government hospitals, not as a research, we did not obtain ethical approval from ethics committee.
Utilisation of hospitals by under-fives
Routine hospital MIS data showed that district hospitals (DHs) generally saw more children (M=17,435) than sub-district hospitals (SDHs) (M=8,728) in 2008. The proportion of children seen in emergency departments was greater in DHs (8.9%) as compared to SDHs (3.8%). A greater proportion of children were seen in outpatient departments in SDHs (86.3%) as compared to DHs (DHs: 80.8%), while the proportion of children seen in inpatient departments was similar (DHs: 10.3% and SDHs: 9.9%). The breakdown of hospital utilization by illness illustrated similar patterns for both district and sub-district hospitals (Figure

Hospital layout, staffing and child health infrastructure
All of the six DHs had a separate paediatric section and designated beds for children whereas seven SDHs had a separate paediatric section and only two had designated beds for children. None of the hospitals had paediatric surgeons. In terms of inpatient and outpatient care all DHs and SDHs had at least one doctor present during the morning shift (8 am-2 pm) but only a third of DHs (2 of 6) and two third of SDHs (8 of 12) hospitals had at least one doctor during the evening shift (2 pm-8 pm) and the night shift (8 pm-8 am). No DHs or SDHs had more than one doctor present in inpatient and outpatient departments during the evening and night shifts. All facilities had 24-hour nursing care for admitted children, and reported that emergency care provided by paramedics and/or on call doctors was available 24-hours a day and seven days a week. However, no hospitals had a functioning triage system for prioritizing severely ill children upon arrival at emergency departments (Table
Hospital support systems, equipment and essential drugs
Electricity was available at all hospitals, but amidst the back drop of frequent power cuts in Bangladesh, only one DH and four SDHs had a backup generator. Sufficient fuel to power backup generators was not available at any SDH. Whilst running water was available at all but one hospital, more than half (10 of 18 hospitals) were unable to provide safe drinking water. Five DHs and eight SDHs had coloured bins for waste disposal but instructions for correct waste disposal were not always followed (Table
Functioning refrigerators for Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) vaccines were present at all hospitals. Filled oxygen cylinders were available but three SDHs lacked flow meters. Half of DHs (3 of 6) and a quarter of SDHs (3 of 12) had incubators for neonatal care, and only one hospital had a warmer. Weighing scales for children were available at the inpatient departments of almost all DHs (5 of 6) and in just over half of SDHs (7 of 12) (Table
Only one DH had all of the essential paediatric inpatient drugs (normal saline, cholera saline, injectable ampicillin, injectable gentamicin, syrup amoxicillin and injectable amoxicillin) whilst not a single SDH complied fully with the requirement. The majority of DHs (4 of 6) had a supply of normal saline, but this was present in less than half of SDHs (5 of 12). Cholera saline was found in almost all DHs and SDHs (5 and 11, respectively). Although both ampicillin and gentamicin should be available for the management of severe pneumonia or severe disease, at least one injectable antibiotic was available at all DHs, but not at all SDHs. Oral rehydration solution (ORS) and zinc tablets were available at all facilities (Table
Laboratory support
Supplies for essential laboratory tests, such as blood glucose, haemoglobin, complete blood count (CBC), blood grouping and cross-matching, routine microscopic examination for urine and stool and facilities for chest x-rays were present in most DHs and some SDHs. However, the presence of laboratory test was undermined by the availability of laboratory support, particularly in SDHs. For instance, laboratory test results were available on a 24/7 basis in just a quarter of SDHs (3 of 12). Similarly half of the DHs (3 of 6) and one third of the SDHs (4 of 12) were not conducting laboratory tests according to standard operating procedures, and maintenance of laboratory safety measures was generally poor (Table
Availability and quality of neonatal care
Neither DHs nor SDHs had a separate unit or room for managing sick newborns. The safety of wards and hygiene practices relating to neonatal care was found to be poor overall. In particular substantial improvement was required in over half (7 of 12) of the SDHs in our sample. Likewise, no hospitals had adequate systems for prioritizing seriously ill neonates.
SDHs were found to be marginally better than DHs in promoting early initiation and exclusive breastfeeding and skin-to-skin contact for newborns (4 of 12 SDHs compared to 1 of 6 DHs). Adequate thermal protection for newborns was absent at all facilities and immunizations were not given routinely to all children born at the facilities.
Low birth weight (LBW) newborns were appropriately diagnosed at only two DHs. Treatment of LBW was poor at all hospitals, and particularly at SDHs, eight of which required substantial improvement compared to one DH. Similarly, appropriate feeding of young infants and LBW newborns was lacking at all hospitals (Table
Quality of case management
Prevalent child illnesses such as pneumonia, diarrhoea and severe malnutrition were poorly managed at these facilities. This was despite the fact that all hospitals with the exception of one, had workers trained in IMCI. Even so, our assessment found that there was very little retraining, nor adequate and updated guidelines available at hospitals.
Severity of pneumonia was found to be correctly assessed and diagnosed in only one-third of DHs (2 of 6) and in one-quarter of SDHs (3 of 12). Appropriate antibiotics were found to be administered inadequately in all hospitals. Similarly correct and appropriate administration of oxygen was absent in most of the hospitals (Table
Diagnosis and treatment of diarrhoea was also generally found to be deficient in most hospitals. Substantial improvement with respect to this was particularly required in SDHs (8 of 12) as compared to DHs (2 of 6). Despite two DHs and two SDHs meeting standards, continued feeding during diarrhoea was found to require improvement in most hospitals (Table
All hospitals fell below standards in relation to severe malnutrition case management. Appropriate nutrition assessment for malnutrition was not conducted in many hospitals. As a result two thirds of DHs (4 of 6) and three quarters of SDHs (9 of 12) were found to need substantial improvement in managing electrolyte imbalance and micronutrients appropriately. Similarly correct management of dehydration, hypoglycaemia and hypothermia, and the correct feeding of severely malnourished children were lacking (Table
Patient monitoring system
Re-assessment of all admitted children by nurses was not conducted in any hospitals. A comprehensive monitoring chart has been developed by the Government of Bangladesh, which describes patient details, vital signs, clinical signs, treatments given, feeding practices, an intake-and-output chart, and outcomes of these practices. It however, was not used at most of the facilities (Table
Consistent with research in other developing countries
Many deaths occur in the first 24 hours after arrival at a hospital and thus urgent intervention can be critical to child survival
This assessment found that out-patient case management and care practices were poor despite all but one hospital in our sample having IMCI-trained providers.
A study in Bangladesh highlighted the potential for incomplete assessments, and incorrect treatment amongst IMCI trained providers
Our findings illustrate that essential drugs, equipment and supports also need to be made available so that health providers can provide care based upon evidence-based guidelines. Even the best trained providers cannot treat severely ill children when, for instance, the essential drugs needed to do so are not at their disposal. Such essential supports were generally found to be lacking in the hospitals we assessed, which may be due to supply chain and stock management issues. While supply chain issues may take time to rectify, supervision may be a feasible way of improving stock management
Although hospitals are supposed to function as places of healing and recovery, our findings point to the possibility that, if neglected, the hospital environment itself can have the opposite effect. Poor physical infrastructure such as unsafe drinking water or the lack of a back-up power supply found in many hospitals in our sample for instance, threaten to compromise patient safety.
The results of our assessment, when interpreted alongside the quality of care literature,
● Ongoing training, supportive supervision and guideline development to increase clinical case management skills of providers
● Investment in essential drugs, equipment, and laboratory supports to optimise the clinical case management skills of providers
● Investment in human resources, and in improving hospital infrastructure to ensure that the hospital environment is safe, and
● The development of triage and other systems based upon guidelines to prioritise those most in need.
● Regular feedback on hospital performance to motivate managers and workers, and sustain quality improvement
In Bangladesh particular emphasis and investment within an integrated quality improvement package needs to be placed on neonatal care. While some of the quality improvement measures that we have suggested may require significant investment and time to implement, others such as providing ongoing training, supportive supervision, guideline development and the development of triage systems in hospitals can be positive first steps. For instance, Ayieko et al. found that a multifaceted intervention, which included evidence-based clinical practice guidelines, training on emergency triage assessment and treatment, the provision of job-aides, local facilitation, and regular supervision and face to face feedback resulted in improvement in paediatric care in Kenyan district hospitals
The persistence of quality of care issues in resource poor settings suggests that similar underlying issues may be present. Many of the issues that we and others have reported including poor hospital infrastructure, essential supports and drug availability may reflect health system deficiencies. But, as Travis et al. point out, health system strengthening has not been given adequate attention in comparison to specific disease focussed interventions
National benchmarking or hospital accreditation may be possible ways in which an integrated quality improvement approach can occur in Bangladesh. Zambia has embarked upon a national hospital accreditation programme, in which hospitals undergo educational and accreditation surveys and are provided with feedback on how they can meet agreed-upon standards for accreditation
An important foreseeable barrier to this pursuit is resource scarcity in developing countries like Bangladesh. However, one place to start might be a reassessment of the current allocation of resources. Carai et al. note that tertiary hospitals have tended to receive the large share of hospital funding even though the majority of severely ill children are treated in referral level facilities
The results of this assessment are consistent with findings in the international literature and thus provide a strong rationale for quality improvement in Bangladeshi hospitals. Given the scale of neonatal mortality in Bangladesh, particular attention should be paid to improving neonatal care within such an integrated package.

Key messages
The quality of care for children in first level referral facilities in Bangladesh is poor.
Findings suggest that there is room for improvement in a number of interconnected areas including in relation to the layout and child health infrastructure in hospitals; hospital support systems, equipment and essential drugs; laboratory support; the availability and quality of neonatal care; and the quality of case management and patient monitoring systems.
An integrated quality improvement strategy is needed to improve the quality of care provided to children in district and sub-district hospitals in Bangladesh.

One of the categories is Hasn't Changed Since High School. After hubby took some head shots of me recently, I went over to my parents' house to get the framed copy they have of my senior photo (the one that appeared in my yearbook).
The only changes I made to the current pic was to the color (so it matched the printed photo from 1987), and I cropped the old image to mirror the new. When I first saw these side by side, I thought, "This contest is SO in the bag. They might as well just give it to me now."
Then I showed them to hubby. He thinks I look totally different today. OK, I know I don't like exactly the same. I am quite a bit older, after all.
But I am definitely not a candidate for the Are You Really The Same Person category. I'm confident when I attend my 25th high school reunion this fall, everyone will know I'm me.

Chuck Horner is dead. He died in 1962 on a routine training exercise in the Libyan desert.
At least, that's the way he tells it.
In fact, Chuck Horner is alive and well and living in Florida. What happened in the North African desert is something he can only explain as a miracle. His fighter was pointing nose down, diving toward the sand, and the controls were not responding. Just feet above the ground, against the laws of physics and counter to his training, one last maneuver pulled him out of his dive. Upside down and with the tail inches above the sand, Horner righted the plane and flew home. "Every day of my life after that event has been a gift," he says. "I was killed in the desert in North Africa. I'm dead."
Horner thanks God for pulling him out of that dive. Readers who enjoy the inside story of modern military strategy and combat might feel some gratitude as well, because if the desert has claimed Lieutenant Chuck Horner 37 years ago, we would not today have General Chuck Horner (Ret.), whose stellar career has seen him serve as commander of the Ninth Air Force, commander of the U.S. Central Command Air Forces, and most relevant to Every Man a Tiger , the man in charge of allied air power in the Gulf War.
The story of Horner's survival in the desert and the rich details of his successful command in the Persian Gulf, recounted by Tom Clancy in Every Man a Tiger , are all told with the same skill and craft that Clancy brings to his bestselling fiction. The two men are an impressive team: Horner provides the facts, and Clancy re-creates thedrama.
Clancy does the bulk of the storytelling, but in passages scattered throughout the book and ranging in length from a few lines to several pages, he steps back and lets Horner tell the story in his own words. Clancy knows that it was Horner who made life-and-death decisions in the Gulf War, and he knows that Horner's firm and straightforward prose can best reveal the starkness of command and command decisions.
Neither author wades very deeply into the geopolitics of the war, leaving that work to pundits, journalists, and historians. But drawing on Horner's decades of experience, the two do delve into the lessons learned in the war, and look particularly at the efforts made to build and maintain the broad coalition of nations that opposed Saddam Hussein in 1990 and 1991.
Because this is not fiction, where character and plot outrank historical accuracy, and because Clancy is a self-confessed military buff, Every Man a Tiger is rich with explanations of strategy, organizational details, and enough technical militaryspeak to make a reader feel like he is in the command bunker.

FGCU wins ASU Championship title; moves on to NCAA Tournament - Mar 13, 2017
FGCU came from behind to claim the 2017 ASUN Women's Basketball Championship with a 77-70 win at Stetson. The Eagles head back to the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time in the last six years. China Dow (5'8''-G-95) was named the Tournament MVP following a career day in Sunday's final.Dow scored 31 points and added 10 rebounds to power the Eagles past Stetson. FGCU trailed for most of the contest, but the Eagles outscored Stetson 26-16 in the final period to secure the victory and a trip back to the Big Dance. Jordin Alexander (5'11''-G) joined Dow on the All-Tournament team after nearly producing a triple-double today with 14 points, nine rebounds and nine assists. The Hatters got off to the better start as ASUN Player of the Year, Brianti Saunders (5'4''-G-94), was on fire right from the opening tip. She scored 16 of her 23 points in the first half, including 13 in the first quarter as she was 5-for-5 to start the game. FGCU trailed and needed a spark to stay in the contest, and that's where Dow entered the contest and made an instant impact. She scored seven points in the first quarter as the Eagles tied it up 20-20 after 10 minutes. The second quarter followed a similar pattern as the Hatters were on fire from behind the arc. Brittney Chambers (5'6''-G), who joined Saunders as All-Tournament selections, connected on three triples in the first half to push the Stetson lead to five. Overall, Stetson was 8-for-10 in the first half shooting from behind the arc. FGCU continued to go in the paint and found success as they scored 22 of 34 first half points inside. Stetson took a 38-34 lead into the locker room at halftime.Stetson's hot outside shooting carried over into the second half as Saunders and Chambers continued to make threes to keep the Hatters in front. Chambers and McKenna Beach (5'6''-G-96) combined to give the Hatters a 51-45 lead with 2:13 to go in the third quarter, but Dow answered once again with six points in the final two minutes of the quarter to give the Eagles some momentum heading into the fourth. FGCU trailed 54-51 entering the final 10 minutes of the game. Breana Bey (5'9''-F-95) hit a couple of jumpers to open the period as Stetson extended its lead to nine at the 6:35 mark of the fourth quarter. FGCU responded to the adversity with an 11-0 run, capped by Dow's deep three-pointer form the top of the key to give the Eagles their first lead of the second half at 64-62. The game teetered in the balance for the next several minutes as both sides traded buckets. FGCU took the lead for good with 2:27 to go, when Rosemarie Julien (5'11''-F) knocked down a pair of foul shots, followed by Dow's fourth triple of the game to give her 29 points. Dow added another layup with a minute to go to finish with a career-high 31 points.

back to school -- fiction
Pete the Cat loves math. He loves how all the numbers work together! When Pete discovers his friend Tom is struggling to understand math, he decides that helping would be fun!
"I hate math," says Tom.
"You don't hate math," Pete tells Tom. "You just don't love it yet."
Getting ready for back-to-school, but not ready to pack away the fun? Al Yankovic's My New Teacher and Me! is as welcome for the last weeks of summer as an ice cream truck after a long, hot day at the pool. In this rollicking story, Mr. Booth's strict rules have met their match in Billy, a bright-eyed boy who shows up for the first day of class with a wide-open imagination. Disapproving Mr. Booth spots the dirt on Billy's shirt immediately! Billy quickly—and politely—tells him how that came to be:
"I was digging to China out in my backyard.
And I almost was there when—I hit something hard!
Well, I dug, and I dug, and I dug a bit more
And discovered the skull of a real dinosaur!
"And I would have cleaned up, sir, but hey, I'm no fool—
I just couldn't be late on the first day of school!"
Bow-tied and sour, Mr. Booth says his tale sounds highly unlikely, but as Billy points out, "the awesome-est things in the world often are!"

Kobe Bryant is an American basketball player.
Playing CareerEdit
Kobe's career started when he was drafted by Minneapolis Lakers at the age of 14. After leading lakers to 19 championships, Kobe was charged with a rape while resting his knee at hotel in Denver. Kobe went on to buy his wife a 20 million dollar ring, and eventually the charges were dropped.
Fight with ShaqEdit
After winning his 39th championship with the Lakers, Kobe became jealous of teammate's Shaquille O'Neal's 20 inch penis, and demanded for Shaq to be traded, or otherwise he would leave the team. Lakers complied, and Shaq was shipped to another team. The following year, Kobe got a penis enlargement surgery, going from an 8 to a 24 inch penis, hence the number change.
Player ProfileEdit
Kobe is the best basketball player in the world, but lost his MVP awards to a Canadian guy and a German guy. Kobe is the last hope for American basketball, and the one only thing that is keeping ugly canadians and europeans from taking over basketball.
2008 Beijing OlympicsEdit
Kobe was part of the mens basketball team in Beijing representing the United States of America at the Welcome to 2008 Beijing Olympics. He helped the US team win the gold metal, when all other teams withdrew as soon as Team USA's jet landed in Beijing.

text: Missed out on the bargain HP TouchPad? Chances are that you did, with seriously high demand for the marked down tablets. Well, all is not lost, with the great webOS clearance likely to extend to the HP Pre 3 too.Yes, the Pre 3, which only got an official launch (albeit very quietly) six days ago, when HP offered the SIM-free version of the smartphone for £299 plus postage. Orange was also said to be stocking the phone, but as yet, hasn't announced anythng for the UK. Maybe it got wind of HP's intention?Anyway, according to the Daily Telegraph, that £299 price will soon be a thing of the past as HP attempts to clear stock. US sources have told the newspaper that the smartphone will sell for just £49 in the UK, although as yet, no retailers have been confirmed. Stay tuned is our advice, as an announcement is likely to be imminent. After that, it's a case of fastest fingers, as stock isn't going to hang around for long. On the face of it, a Pre 3 for £50 should be a good proposition, at least for the short-term. No updates and no new apps will leave the smartphone looking more than a little tired in a year's time. But in the short-term, it's a more-than-capable device, complete with 1.2GHz dual-core CPU, a 3.6-inch 800x480 WVGA display, slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a five-megapixel camera with auto-focus and LED flash and the option to shoot 720p HD video plus a front-facing camera for video calling. There's also 512MB of RAM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1 and A-GPS.Sound appealing? As soon as we get those retailer details and the all-important selling date, we'll let you know.

Women are living longer than ever before. However, chronic diseases are more prevalent in old age, making healthcare in later life one of the top concerns among working age women, according to HSBC's report, The Future of Retirement Healthy new beginnings. The survey of more than 18,000 people in 17 countries found that 40% of working age women in Asia - Pacific are concerned about the impact of poor health on healthcare expenses in retirement (vs 35% of working age men in Asia-Pacific).
In India, 33% of working age women are concerned about the impact of poor health on healthcare expenses in retirement (vs. 32% of working age men in India). Around 32% worry that poor health will affect their mobility while 31% worry it will affect their ability to take care of themselves.
S. Ramakrishnan, Head of Retail Banking and Wealth Management, HSBC India commented: 'It is not surprising that women are concerned about their health in later life. Women are expected to live to around 73 years old, five years longer than men, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Keeping healthy and making sure their retirement funds can cover healthcare expenses in retirement are top challenges for women. However, many remain unprepared."
HSBC's survey found that a very high proportion of working age women in India (44%) are unable to predict how much they are likely to spend on healthcare in retirement then working age men in India (38%). The problem is more acute in the Asia – Pacific region where 59% of working-age women are unable to predict how much they are likely to spend on healthcare in retirement as compared to 50% of working age men.
A large percentage of working age women and men said that being too busy with work commitments and lack of free or leisure time prevented them from living a healthier lifestyle. Over a quarter (26%) cited affordability as a barrier.
The report suggests a healthy lifestyle across the life-course could help protect health and alleviate disability and pain in older age. According to WHO, being physically active, eating a healthy diet, avoiding the harmful use of alcohol and not smoking or using tobacco products can all reduce the risk of chronic disease in older age. These behaviours should start early in one's life and continue into old age.
"While more women are being educated, entering the work force and earning income, many remain financially vulnerable as they care for their families and attend to multiple responsibilities. It is important for them to find a way to save for the future and be smart with their finances as early as possible. As personal circumstances and needs differ and will change through life stages, women should regularly assess whether the financial plans they set for themselves can still meet future needs," said S. Ramakrishnan.

|Dylann Roof
The 1st of some 3,000 potential jurors in the Dylan Roof death penalty trial began reporting Monday to the U.S. District courthouse in downtown Charleston.
Jurors were summoned, some 80 at a time, before U.S. Judge Richard Gergel, whose questions were aimed at weeding out those who obviously cannot or who will elect not to serve: people over 70, having no one else to care for young children and the like. Also to be excluded: those whose minds are already made up about Roof's guilty, or whether to impose the death penalty.
Roof, 22, a self-proclaimed white supremacist, is charged with federal hate crimes resulting in death in the June 2015 slayings of 9 African-Americans who were attending an evening Bible study at historic "Mother" Emanuel AME church downtown.
Of the first 80 prospective jurors in court on this morning, some 90 % were white. 9 were black. All were somber. Gergel deferred 2 teachers.
The initial jury selection is taking place in a relatively small courtroom on the 4th floor of an old federal courthouse on Broad Street. It has only about 80 seats, nearly all of which were taken up Monday by prospective jurors.
Gergel allowed a sketch artist, along with one pool print reporter to write accounts of what happened. Other journalists watched the proceedings on a flat-screen television in a nearby courtroom. Unlike state court, no cameras or reporters' tape recorders are allowed in federal court. The in-court proceedings in this story were furnished by the pool reporter.
Roof stared down at his defense table during much of the morning. During Monday's initial session, he appeared unemotional. In numerous pretrial hearings since last year, he has waived his right to be present in court.
The Roof case is set to be one of the most sensational criminal trials ever held in South Carolina, due to the racial dimensions of the case and the brutality of the crime.
Underscoring the emotionalism of the trial and the effect of publicity about the case, Judge Gergel has ordered dozens of pretrial documents to be kept secret so as not to taint the jury pool.
Roof also faces charges of murder in Charleston County state court. Prosecutor Scarlett Wilson is also seeking the death penalty in that case. Jury selection is set to begin in January in that case.
Monday's proceeding in federal court is designed to produce a smaller pool of some 700 prospective jurors. Those potential jurors will begin a more detailed questioning session on Nov. 7. The actual trial will not start until late November, observers estimate.
It's the opening day of a long, tedious and potentially confusing jury selection process in the Dylan Roof federal trial in the June 2015 slayings of 9 African-Americans at a historic downtown Charleston church.

Definition Edit
Packet routing is the forwarding of logically addressed packets from their source toward their ultimate destination through intermediate nodes.
Overview Edit
General-purpose computers with multiple network cards can also forward packets and perform routing, though they are not specialized hardware and may suffer from limited performance. The routing process usually directs forwarding on the basis of routing tables which maintain a record of the routes to various network destinations.

Have you felt it?
That feeling you get when you're sitting alone in a dark room, or walking down the street, or being in an unknown area.
It makes you feel like a kid again. Shutting off the lights and running away, because of the fear that the Boogeyman would get you. That's the feeling I mean. 'The bugs.'
There's no other way to describe it. It's like bugs inching
their way around your skin, when you feel.. no, when you KNOW
something isn't right. Something is watching you, and it can get you you,
if you allow it to.
It wont stop trying to haunt your very being once it gets to you.
It is trying to make itself known. Whether you put up a
brave front or not, once it's there, it has free reign.
it wont stop until it gets what it wants.
And it wants you.
There are only three things you can do to keep it away. 1. Don't go anywhere unbeknownst to you alone 2. Don't show that you are scared. It enjoy that 3. Do not, under any circumstances, give in, because once
you do, it will find you,and it will keep close until it swallows you whole...
leaving your sanity behind.
it consumes you, your whole being, never leaving, always laughing at your misfortune...
Fear is an amazing thing, isn't it?

As Voice over LTE(VoLTE) deployments ramp up, and early device support for the technology varies in implementation and performance, Nomad HD provides critical voice quality analysis for HD voice and VoLTE services on any device, across any network.As the first measurement system of its kind, Nomad HD provides a comprehensive package for HD voice quality measurements and call performance testing to support the evolution of voice services. It incorporates perceptual objective listening quality assessment (POLQA), a next generation voice testing methodology standardized by the ITU. Using the POLQA algorithm for HD Voice and VoLTE voice quality measurement allows for actionable comparison between legacy circuit-switched and packet-switched voice from the same service provider, across networks and technologies.Nomad HD makes available to the industry a much-needed capability to simultaneously measure VoLTE voice quality, delay and call performance objectively under real-world conditions in both lab and field environments.'Spirent recognizes the industry's push to deploy VoLTE services and realizes that its success depends on consistent, reliable and comprehensive testing,' said Spirent's divisional vice president, Des Owens. 'With Nomad HD, operators can ensure that VoLTE delivers the same or better voice quality as the previous generation of voice services and can invest in the future with confidence.'Nomad HD offers globally accessible service end points in the cloud. It supports all mobile devices, regardless of operating system or radio access technology, and is deployable in both lab and field test configurations. Nomad HD additionally provides two operational modes that distinctly address narrowband and super-wideband communication in a single box.The solution can be deployed with the other Spirent Service Experience measurement products - Datum and Chromatic, to enable simultaneous voice, data and video test scenarios that represent the way real customers use their devices and consume services.

Arrival: Jan.1 2009- Jan 8, 2009
We have visited the DR 8 times in the past 7 years. This was our 5th visit to an Iberostar resort, our 1st at this resort and our 4th time in Punta Cana. We return yearly because we love the poeple of this beautiful island and we always have an excellent time. WE flew Delta on New Years Day. Our flight from JFK to Punta Cana only had 11 passengers on it. We arrived ahead of schedule and it took less than 15 minutes to go thru customs, get our bags and get on the bus to the resort. WE were the only passengerin the van and our driver drove very quickly to the resort. WE were they in about 25 minutes. Check in was quick. WE had emailed the resort adn requested to be in the building near the pool and beach. WE had asked for 2 rooms somewhere near each other. WE were given rooms side by side, one king and one with 2 doubles rooms 5276 and 5277. The # 5 represents the building #, the 2 is the 2nd floor. WE couldn't see the pool but is was a 2 minute walk to the beach and about 3 to the lobby.
Our rooms were clean and seemed to be recently remodeled although I am not sure about that. WE had a king bed, nice bathroom with tile. A couch, table with 2 chairs and a cabinet with space for clothes and TV. The deck had a small table and two chairs. WE overlooked the gardens and across to the Domincan buildings. Although there are 2 hotels it really seems like one. The Punta Cana is on the left when facing the beach and the Dominicana is on the right. The two resorts share the 2 pools and all the resteraunts. The casino, disco, internet cafe, spa and show area are on the Dominicana side.
Restaurants and Bars:
There are 4 or 5 a la cart restaurants and 2 buffets for dinner and 4 places to get breakfast and lunch. WE had breakfast down by the beach every day. There was plenty of fresh fruit, various breads, eggs ect. At lunch time they cooked out on a large grill everyday and also had 2 buffets at the 2 places to eat down by the beach. There was always a variety but the same variety every day. The salad bar and fruits were always good. I was not overly impressed with the food. It was OK but not as good as other Iberostars we have been to. Both my kids said it was better than the food they get at college but that is not saying a whole lot. The Oriental restaurant was very good, we ate there twice. The Mexican and Steak House were a good change from the buffet but were average. I am not complaining, we do not go on vacation to an all inclusive for the food. It was fine, just nothing to write home about. It was always kept clean around the food area. Some things that were very good were the Guacamole, fruit, potatoes, bread and salads.
All of the staff at the restaurants and bars were extremely friendly and always smiling. WE do not speak much Spanish but we did not encounter any problems. The drinks were a little too sweet for me but I found several that were good. The bartenders would make them however you requested. The wine at dinner was tart but passable. My kids enjoyed the disco at night although they were disappointed that the disc jockey did not play more to the crowds requests.
The beach is gorgeous. I got up every morning and found a great spot near the volleyball area. I was at the beach by 8 am and I could always find an area to set up for the day. It is funny to see all the places that get reserved early and the people don't show up until mid-day. I swam in the ocean everyday and it was wonderful. Nice sandy bottom, no seaweed, some waves and a slight undertow. WE brought a couple of floats and them blown up at the dive shop. It was nice to hang out on them and drift around. WE brought masks and snorkels but never ended up using them. It was a little choppy although some people did to the left side. It is a great beach to walk on in either direction. Nice and flat. The sand never got hot. The pools were nice. WE found there was more activity on the Dominicana side. The pool and the ocean are about the same temperature. We never sat out at the pool but there seemed to be plenty of people there everyday. We never had a problem getting towels, they always had them.
The grounds are beautiful. Everything was lit up for the holidays and it was magical at night with white lites wrapped around the trees. The groundkeepers work very hard and do an excellent job.
Activities on and off the Resort/Hotel:
There was plenty to do at the resort if you wanted to. My kids played volleyball and partcipated in a few of the activities. If you want to be busy you can be but it is also easy to just relax and read. The Star Friends invited you to play but were not pushy if you chose not to.
WE did not do any tours this trip but have done Bavaro Runners Safari Adventure and Outback Jungle Safari in the past and enjoyed them both. Also I recommend the Sanoa Island trip. I thought the entertainment at night was somewhat lame. Again, we did not go there for the entertainment but we have seen better shows. We enjoyed sitting in the lobby area playing cards and people watching. We went to the casino a couple of times but it was very smokey. Other Comments:
WE had a great time. The weather was perfect, sunshine all day with a couple of brief showers at night. Everyone who works at the resort is friendly and nice. We tipped the maids and the waitstaff. We also brought baseballs which we gave out to some of the grounds crew. The people work very hard there and they are very appreciative.
This resort is very well kept, well run and in a great location. We did not have any problems. There was no construction going on while we were there and the whole place seemed to be in excellent condition. The employees and the beach make this a very good resort.

Disc review: Myriad 3, 'The Where'
The idea is a familiar one by now. Heaven knows we've been hearing minor and even drastic re-creations of piano trios in jazz – acoustic and otherwise – for a long while now, what with E.S.T., The Bad Plus, Medeski, Martin and Wood and the music of Brad Mehldau (which, when electrified, goes a long way away from Bill Evans, Michel Petrucciani and Keith Jarrett).
This is the second disc by the young Canadian trio Myriad 3, composed of Chris Donnelly on piano and synthesizer, Don Fortini on bass and Ernesto Cervini on drums and percussion.
The music here is wildly and impressively eclectic. "The Strong One" is, paradoxically, a tender and very beautiful modal ballad.
It's followed by the appropriately named "Bebop Medley," which surreally juxtaposes Bud Powell's "Un Poco Loco" with, among other things, Monk tunes, Dizzy Gillespie's "Manteca" and lord-knows-what. The end result is a collection of fragments without meaning – rather cheekily and intentionally so.
The title composition by bassist Fortin, he says, "came from a New York Times article I was reading about a guy kayaking in a canyon, mapping it for Google. The idea that all information – who, what, where – can be commodified left me thinking for a while." And writing fascinating music.
The other nouveau piano jazz trios would get this disc. Gillespie too, maybe. It's hard to dislike a disc where the drummer got an idea for a tune from the rhythmic accents made by his clothes dryer.
I'm not sure Monk and Bud Powell would like it at all, though. It really is a different musical beast altogether from conventional acoustic piano trios in jazz.

Comments about Allen Brothers steaks:
I got a present of 8 expensive steaks. The packaging was so flimsy and horrible, I had to spend an hour cleaning my fridge from blood. It looked like a crime scene!

Comments about Allen Brothers steaks:
I have been circling Allen Brothers website for quite a while. Just waiting for the perfect time to drop some serious coin on what I hoped would be a delicious steak eating experience.
Well, a great offer from Allen Brothers came offering prime steaks AND free lobster tails!
I ordered them for Father's Day for my obsessively carnivores husband.
The order arrived at our door but it appeared that some the boxes had partially thawed and the seals had been compromised and the steaks and lobster tails had partially thawed.
My husband, having recently suffered some pretty heinous food poisoning was not comfortable eating the partially thawed steaks.
We called customer service and was promptly told "sorry" we can't replace the partially thawed items". "Don't worry, they'll be fine."
Well, needless to say, that was not acceptable. We pressed on and said we did not feel comfortable eating partially thawed meat through the mail.
That is when we were transferred to Carol. She was awesome! She spoke to my husband in an attempt to reassure him, however, once she understood his recent food poisoning incident and the level to which the steaks had thawed, she did the perfect thing and sent us new steaks and lobster tails to replace the ones we had to throw away.
I applaud Carol's responsiveness and and truly appreciate her professional handling of our situation.
As a result, we will be repeat customers and plan on gifting these excellent quality steaks to everyone on our Christmas list that will enjoy them. BTW, these steaks, especially the NY prime strips, are DELICIOUS and melt in your mouth.
Thank you Carol for being so sweet!

Comments about Allen Brothers steaks:
My neighbor gave me 2 steak (porterhouse) 1.5 inches thick.Now the cut on bone was 3/4 inches thick. That is not good. Suppose to weigh 20 oz.No more than 15 oz. I cooked it for my neighbor. He was not happy as felt cheated. Meat was good but that is not right.
Comments about Allen Brothers steaks:
I placed an order for meat I was told was GREAT. I received dry-aged ribeyes filled with fat. I contacted customer service who just made excuses and gave me a lecture on how the fat cooks into the meat. I even submitted a photo with the huge chunk of fat.
Comments about Allen Brothers steaks:
The steaks from Allen Brothers are excellent. If you make it to Charleston, SC; I would recommend Halls Chop House which serves Allen Brothers steaks.
This particular shipment was misplaced by UPS. Allen Brothers has gone out of their way to ensure a wonderful Birthday for my husband. They shipped a replacement order on a Saturday and are tracking it all the way to our door.
I would recommend Allen Brothers to anyone looking for prime steaks! The steaks are excellent. I can't wait to try the lobster tails with the next order. If you make it to Charleston, SC; I would suggest Halls Chop House which serves Allen Brothers steaks.

Comments about Allen Brothers steaks:
Having left two messages via email -- days apart --and calling but being on hold for 3 to 5 minutes at a stretch I finally reached Customer Service about my overnight order which was never received. I was told the shipment had not been sent because it " did not make it on the truck".
When I asked why and what could be done they simply stated they coujld cancel the order. Stunning arrogance and rudeness.
I would NOTmake a purchase from them; at their prices perhaps they should be staffed to respond and have an order system that is effective. Stay away from buying from Allen Brothers.
Comments about Allen Brothers steaks:
Allen Brothers started in the heart of Chicago's Union stockyards. They have earned the reputation as the leading supplier of America's best beef (USDA prime) to the nation's finest steakhouses and restaurants. They were established in 1893. Now, they deliver the ultimate in juiciness, tenderness and flavor to homes across the nation. They claim to offer the same devotion to old fashioned service and customer satisfaction as the old-time neighborhood butcher.
Their offerings include USDA prime steaks, Wet-aged beef, Dry-aged beef, Kobe Wagyu Beef, Never Frozen Beef, Appetizers, Side Dishes, Soups, Buffao and Venixon, Entrees, Desserts, Duck, Lamb, Pork, Poultry, Sausages and Bratwurst, Seafood, Steak Burgers and Dogs, Smoked Meats and Veal.
Select descriptions from the website:
**The Kobe Wagyu Beef:** Meat this delectable only comes from those who honor the sophisticated breeding practices and feeding methods that originated in the Kobe region of Japan. Known by the Japanese as "white steak", Wagyu has only recently been bred outside Japan.
**Never Frozen Beef**: With our never frozen steaks and roasts, you get Allen Brothers flavor combined with ready to serve convenience -- no thawing required. We start with hand selected USDA Prime beef, then cut and vacuum-seal each selection to lock in its finely aged flavor. These cuts are then carefully packaged - without being frozen and shipped via Fed Ex Priority Overnight to your door.
I can tell you that we have ordered the sirloin strip and rib eye steaks and they were so tender and so juicy and so flavorful. I absolutely love to prepare and eat these steaks.
We have also tried the lobster sampler, which includes five varieties of lobster tail -- West Australian tails, New Zealand Tails, South African tails, Maine/Canadian tails and North Australian tails. These lobster tails were so tender and mellow. Just thinking about them makes my mouth water.
These products are not cheap. But then, you do not order them for dinner every night. They are a great choice for a special occasion or for a once-in-a-while treat.
They package the products as follows: First, it is shrinkwrapped, then frozen and placed into a polystyrene container (foam cooler) with dry ice. Finally, the reusable foam cooler is placed in a heavy duty cardboard box for shipping. All of our orders have arrived in perfect condition.
Are you looking for a special dinner at home to celebrate the holidays or an anniversary? Do you have to plan a holiday party and need some help making a good impression with the food? If so, then I suggest you visit the Allen Brothers website and give them a try. Try it, you'll like it.
The only con is once you have ordered from them, you will start receiving catalogs at least once a month in the mail and emails fairly frequently. Since I do not order from them that often because of the cost, this sometmes is annoying to me.

my husband and i
are looking into buying a house(in Indiana where he is from) once he is back from deployment.
we have our son, but are thinking maybe about having another baby once we buy a house.
I feel like maybe that would be a lot to take on, and I'm a bit scared because I had a very hard pregnancy, and had an emergency c section.
any advice/thoughts/experience on this?
Comment deleted
I had very bad back pain, always sleepy, throwing up constantly, my son was an 8 lb baby an Im pretty small so everything was squished. lol
I didn't have that magical pregnancy most women seem to have.
I was constantly swollen as well.
everything was just hard in general.

I don't have any experience like yours but I have had miscarriages and subsequent hard pregnancies and my last pregnancy was hard. Will you have a support system where you will be moving to in Indiana?
yes my husbands mom, shes Korean an in their culture the mother(or mother in law) are pretty much your caretaker an nanny once the baby is born until you get well rested and your body recovers.
That's pretty special. I think if you have support and help you shouldn't worry about your move or buying a house if that's what you want to do. Everything else will fall into place. What's that saying about not putting the cart before the horse? Take one thing at a time, one day at a time.
lol yeah but I was in California when I was pregnant with my son, so I didn't get that luxury lol

|RE: [IMPORTANT] Fetch-depth
|Thu, 26 Jan 2006 00:22:41 GMT
See comments inline... -----Original Message----- From: email@example.com [mailto:email@example.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 25, 2006 11:54 AM Cc: JDO Expert Group; Apache JDO project Subject: Re: [IMPORTANT] Fetch-depth Javadogs, Here's what I'm proposing, in summary. 1. Add a property to FetchPlan: get/setMaxFetchDepth. This property limits the depth of the fetched instance graph counting from the root of the instances. The roots are defined for queries as the results of the query. The roots of retrieve and detachCopy are the parameter instances. The default is 1, meaning fetch one level of objects reachable from the roots. A value of 0 has no meaning, because if a relationship field is in the fetch group, it will be fetched. Don't forget that the roots are also the parameter instances of refresh, in addition to retrieve and detachCopy. Setting a value of 0 for maxFetchDepth should throw JDOUserException. 2. Add a property to FetchPlan: get/setDetachRoots. The roots for DetachAllOnCommit are all the instances in the DetachRoots on FetchPlan. The default is all instances in the cache. Or it could be all instances retrieved by queries, explicitly made persistent, or explicitly retrieved. I'd advocate a slight change in the name to get/setDetachmentRoots. It would be nice to be able to have a convenient method overload for setDetachmentRoots(Class pcClass) and/or getDetachmentRoots(Class[] pcClasses) so that users could easily specify all instances of a specific class or set of classes. 3. In order to avoid confusion, remove fetch-depth attribute for the field element and replace it with recursion-depth attribute. This has two effects: it requires users to change their metadata and think about what the fetch-depth was used for; and it better reflects the purpose of the attribute to limit recursion. The meaning of recursion-depth is the maximum number of links to follow from the target instance of this field in case the same class is encountered again. How does inheritance affect this? It seems to me that this should also apply when the the target field's class is the same as or a subclass of the field's class. 4. In case of multiple definitions of the same field recursion-depth, the largest number for the same field will be used. That is, if the same field is declared in multiple fetch groups, a simple MAX of all the values is used. I'll write up a number of examples and send them tomorrow. Comments? Craig On Jan 13, 2006, at 3:10 PM, Craig L Russell wrote: Javadogs, I've spent some time looking at the semantics of fetch-depth and now agree with the critics of the change that I proposed back in the infamous October 1, 2005 message to the expert group subject: Re: JDO2 §12.7.2: fetch-depth only for "recursive fetch group references"?. I now believe it's impractical to use fetch-depth to mean the maximum depth of the object graph reachable from the root object(s) field because of several messages sent on the subject by Joerg von Frantzuis, Alexander Bieber, and Marco Schultz. Briefly, the argument is that if fetch-depth limits the number absolutely, then it's not possible easily to use the fetch-group to add another field to a fetch plan simply by adding a fetch-group that includes that field. Instead, a new fetch-group that changes the fetch-depth must be used. And each new use-case needs to provide a different fetch-depth number if another level of fetching is desired. I believe that the use of fetch-group to determine whether fields (navigating relationships) are fetched should be natural, and that we should therefore use fetch-depth for its original purpose of limiting recursion. If you disagree with this position, please reply so we can move forward and define the use of fetch-depth for recursion (as in the original semantics of the attribute).

Ksubi Creates Stylish Summer Shades/
Australian based fashion house Ksubi recently introduced their very first sunglass collection. Given the beautifully outlandish nature of their garments, we couldn't wait to get an eye-full of their new sunnies.
The collection encompasses 16 styles of vintage-inspired shades constructed from a hodgepodge of materials like brushed antique gold and stainless steel. Some frames are custom made with a unique blue floral pattern created by lead designer Graz Mulcahy. Mulcahy envisions a particular customer when designing his peepers. He explained that he aspires for his clientele to be "people who have a taste and passion, for design and innovation. I don't have a logo because I don't design glasses for individuals who need a status boost, but rather for rock stars— or those who think they are." You heard it here folks, logo-lovers need not apply.
