8 Healthy Start Recommendations and evidence Healthy Start replaced the means-tested elements of the Welfare Food Scheme throughout the UK in Proposals for reform of the previous scheme were based on recommendations made by the Committee on Medical Aspects of Food and Nutrition Policy (COMA) (DH 2002). The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) has a number of recommendations for health professionals working with women and young children that relate to Healthy Start. You can see them in full at They include: For pregnant women or those who may become pregnant Advisethemtotakeasupplementcontaining400micrograms(mcg) offolicaciddailypre-conceptionanduptothe12thweekofpregnancy; alsoprovideadviceonsuitablevitaminsupplementssuchashealthystart vitaminsforwomenandadvisethemtoeatfoodsrichinfolateandfolic acid.

10 The Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition (SACN) has made a number of recommendations: In1991theCommitteeonMedicalAspectsofFoodandNutritionPolicy (COMA SACN spredecessor)recommendedthatcertainat-risk individuals,orgroupsatriskofvitaminddeficiency,shouldtake supplementsof7 10mcgofvitaminDdaily(DH1991).TheChiefMedical Officer(CMO)subsequentlyendorsedtheserecommendationsfor vulnerablegroupsin2005(cmo2005).comahadalsorecommended thatallchildrenagedonetofiveyearsshouldbegivenasupplement containingvitaminsa,candd(dh1994),andtheukhealth Departmentshavesincerecommendedthatallchildrenhavesupplements fromsixmonthsuntilfiveyearsofageunlesstheyaregettingmorethan 500mlofinfantformulaaday.

14 Nutrition, health and inequality There s growing evidence to suggest that nutrition during pregnancy and in the early years of a child s life can help prepare them for healthy adulthood. A healthy diet can also help reduce the risk of obesity and chronic diseases such as heart disease and some cancers later in life. COMA spanelonchildandmaternalnutritionproducedascientific Review of the Welfare Food Scheme(nowHealthyStart),acknowledging thatmaternalandchildnutritionmayaffectlong-termhealthoutcomes (DH2002). SACNalsorecentlypublisheditsreportThe Influence of Maternal, Fetal and Child Nutrition on the Development of Chronic Disease in Later Life, concludingthatimprovingthenutritionalstatusofwomenofchild-bearing age,infantsandyoungchildrenhasthepotentialtoimprovethehealthof futuregenerations(sacn2011). 14 / 15

So it s essential that health professionals know what the local arrangements are.
26 What s in Healthy Start vitamins for women? Healthy Start vitamins for women contain folic acid, vitamin D and vitamin C. Here s why they re important for pregnant women and new mums. Folic acid Taking400mcg(0.4milligrams)offolicacidperdaybothbeforeandup untilthe12thweekofpregnancycanhelppreventntdssuchasspina bifida,wherethespinedoesn tdevelopproperlyinunbornbabies.

Therefore,takingfolicacidsupplementsisimportantwhentryingtoget pregnantandintheearlystagesofpregnancy. IfamotherhasalreadyhadapregnancyaffectedbyanNTDorhas diabetesoristakinganti-epilepticmedicines,sheisadvisedtoseek medicaladvicefromhergp. Recommendation: all women who are trying to get pregnant or who are pregnant should take 400mcg of folic acid each day up until they are 12 weeks pregnant. Women who have already had a pregnancy affected by an NTD need to take 5mg of folic acid each day until the 12th week of their pregnancy. In addition, women who have diabetes and those taking anti-epileptic medicines should consult their GP for advice as they will need to take a higher dose of folic acid. (AsrecommendedbyCOMA (2000),SACN(2006)andNICE(2008).) 26 / 27

I am writing this post from the comfort of my parent's house in front of the burnin' fireplace while watching Glee and could not love singing along watching it more.
Since I had some personal days to use up, I took today off work in order to get my thangs together and hit the road early in preparation of Snowpocalypse #2 of 2009, predicted to hit tonight. My apartment is spic n' span, the presents are wrapped, and I have the whooolllleeee rest of the week off. This makes me happy.
Breakfast was Cheesy Savory Oats…
1/2 cup oats
1/2 cup water + 1/2 cup organic skim milk
pinch of salt
1 oz. shredded cranberry chipotle cheddar cheese
2 eggs (well…kinda…)
DOUBLE YOLKS! That's gotta be good luck, right?
Before I hit the road, I hit up the coop for some good car snackage…
These Snappeas (haha, get it?) are delish. They are made from snap peas, corn oil and rice (in that order) and are the closest I think I am going to get to veggie crack. I had to stop myself from eating the whole bag, which I almost did successfully. Key word being 'almost.'
Dinner was a classic "Fend For Yourself" night at the Everythingtarian household.
That meant I dug my hand into the depths of the freezer and pulled these out…
Nuked and plated on my childhood Campbell's Soup plate…
A delicious combo, if I do say so meself.
For dessert, Blueberry Chobani, a crumbled Kashi Blackberry Graham bar and a side of Keeping Up with the Kardashians'. I have to agree with Krazy Khloe…Scott is a total douche lord.
P.S. I am also planning to incorporate the phrase "douche lord" into my vocabulary more often.
Alrighty kiddos…sorry to make it short, but the family is about to embark on a competitive game of Bananagrams while watching the 1984 classic Footloose. Life is good.
Tomorrow is Christmas Eve…bring it on Santa!

|[jira] [Updated] (HADOOP-8139) Path does not allow metachars to be escaped
|Mon, 12 Mar 2012 20:30:42 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8139?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Daryn Sharp updated HADOOP-8139: -------------------------------- Attachment: HADOOP-8139-5.patch I believe this patch should not introduce incompatibilities with current behavior. Had to remove Path(File) logic from RLFS because hadoop can return home dir paths, etc with / in them. Forcing them to parse as local is inappropriate in those cases. The "intelligence" when parsing windows paths should now handle the paths correctly. Moved ^ handling into FileSystem when the path is being converted from native to ensure consistency in path handling. Minor change to not parse windows path as native if it contains a /. Corrects inconsistency where the user may be trying to use URIs and quoting the first char of the path. I was able to test by manually flipping the value of Path.WINDOWS. The final test case of course failed when trying to call cygwin. Please let me know if this is sufficient for 23.2 w/o a blocker. Thanks! > Path does not allow metachars to be escaped > ------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-8139 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8139 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Components: fs > Affects Versions: 0.23.0, 0.24.0 > Reporter: Daryn Sharp > Assignee: Daryn Sharp > Priority: Blocker > Attachments: HADOOP-8139-2.patch, HADOOP-8139-3.patch, HADOOP-8139-4.patch, HADOOP-8139-5.patch, HADOOP-8139.patch, HADOOP-8139.patch > > > Path converts "\" into "/", probably for windows support?

Welcome to Day 2 of 30 Days of Gift Guides. Today I am sharing the best gifts for 8 to 10-year old boys. This is a fun group to shop for because they are full of spunk, creativity, and finally enough logic and fine motor skills to take on more challenging projects. Don't forget to bookmark the 30 Days of Gift Guides page (click on the image below to go there) since I will be posting a new guide every day this month. By the time December gets here, you'll have gift ideas for everyone on your list.
Best Gifts for 8 to 10-Year Old Boys
Boys of all ages love to play with remote control vehicles. Boys 8 and older finally have the fine motor skills to be able to actually control faster, more maneuverable toys. This rock crawler is perfect for this age since its all-terrain capability encourages their bright, young imaginations to create obstacle courses that they can then maneuver the vehicle through.
There's a reason that you can't drive through any neighborhood without seeing at least one basketball hoop in someone's driveway. It's one of the most popular games among boys. Though younger kids can play, kids aged 8 and older really enjoy it. Better yet, they continue enjoying it for years so you get a lot of mileage out of this gift compared to others that they will quickly outgrow.
What kid doesn't want their own zipline? I like this one not only because it has built in lights, but also because it has great reviews. The maximum recommended weight is 250 pounds which means most moms and dads can make use of this gift too.
Minecraft is a game that has attracted the attention of boys and girls of many ages, but it's especially popular among boys 8 to 10-years old. Pair that with Legos, an all-time favorite toy in this demographic, and this Minecraft Lego kit is the perfect gift.
Boys at this age love anything that is gross or yucky (some boys, like my husband, never outgrow this phase). This age group is typically intrigued by science (hence the popularity of chemistry sets among 8 to 10-year old kids). Once again, pairing these two unique interests makes one great gift idea, which is why 8 to 10-year old boys will love this glowing putty gels & slime kit.
For boys who are more interested in mechanics than chemistry, snap circuits kits are wonderful toys for stimulating their imaginations and introducing them to the basics of electronics and circuitry. This Snap Circuits Motion set helps them create circuits that create visible (motion) effects for an added "wow" effect.
Unlike teenagers, 8 to 10-year old boys aren't in a hurry to become grown-ups. They are in the prime of their childhood and enjoying every minute of it. The Encyclopedia of Immaturity will help them revel in this period with instructions on how to hang a spoon from your nose and how to do a wheelie. Essentially, it's full of wisdom all boys should have before they enter adulthood.
Even though the Pokemon phenomenon started two decades ago, it's still going strong. My elementary school aged child assures me that the boys on her bus and in her class are constantly trading Pokemon cards. This Shiny Rayquaza EX Box set includes a rare shiny card (this is like Pokemon gold!) and 4 booster packs, plus a code card for the online game.
Take playing with Legos to a whole new level with this Chain Reactions kit. Kids use the instructions and pieces included in the kit to create machines that spin, swing, pivot, roll, lift, and drop. By placing each component carefully, kids can create dozens of different chain reactions.
I've already mentioned that kids are crazy for Minecraft. Chances are you already have Minecraft for your computer or game console. Did you know there was a mobile version? Now your kids can play on the road or on a tablet, freeing the TV up so you can catch up on Modern Family.
When my boys were this age, their favorite activity was to have Nerf wars with their friends. Each boy has a different preference as to what type of weapon he prefers. Some prefer long-range while others prefer rapid fire. So, here's a selection of some of the best Nerf guns, since it's impossible to pick just one!
Since they can't drive yet, boys this age spend a lot of time traveling by bicycle. These colorful LED lights are the perfect way to add some pizzazz to their ride (just don't use that expression when you explain how cool these are to them since my kids have notified me "add some pizzazz" is a nerdy grown-up phrase).
Don't forget to check back each day to find a new gift guide. If you have an especially difficult person to shop for, let me know and I'll try to find some gift ideas for you.

Longtime lurker here
Posted 27 April 2012 - 07:46 PM
Hi. I've been lurking for a while. I'm a longtime fan of Transformers. I have too many interests to list. I write stories in my spare time and intend to one day get them published. I do not write short stories. I do not write happy stories. Despite that, I am actually a generally happy person.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A tributary of a river is another river that flows into it. If one river flows into a second river, then the first river is a tributary of the second river. A tributary is a body of water that flows into another body of water.
The opposite of a tributary is a distributary, a river that branches off from the main flow of water. A tributary is very important for a village to submerge

"Can you imagine life before plastics?"
It's probably safe to assume the answer is no. But keep in mind, more than 50 years ago plastics wasn't nearly as present in our daily lives.
A new exhibit at Burke Museum of National History and Culture at The University of Washington is gaining attention for exploring the ways plastics changed material culture.
Plastics Unwrapped looks at how plastics have evolved with topics ranging from life before plastics to the effects of plastic on our health and the environment, according to a news release announcing its opening.
I recently talked with Exhibit Coordinator Ruth Pelz and she told me when the idea came about to have an exhibit focused on plastics, it was met with a lot of excitement.
"People bought in immediately and it caught on like fire," she said. "But we know that it is a such a complex topic, so we had to reach out to many different experts in this field."
The museum brought in advisors from the chemistry industry, medical professionals, the Society of Plastics Engineers and various environmental groups to consult on the project.
It took about two years to get the exhibit all put together and on Dec. 20, 2012 it was finally open to the public.
According to the Museum, the exhibit includes:
- A life-before-plastics view at how challenges were met such as food storage and rain protection.
- Highlights plastic science and engineering, including molecular structure, fossil fuel origins and cutting-edge products.
- Illuminates medical achievements, health risks in some kinds of plastics, and how to limit exposure.
- Examines plastic life cycle and environmental impacts on land and sea.
- Provides insight about global consumption and risk, including toxic exposure in factories and waste dumps overseas.
"Plastics were marketed as the 'material of the future.' Now, that prediction has come true," the news release stated. "They will stay in landfills and oceans for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. In order to counter the impact of plastic waste, we need to rethink our relationship with plastics."
Micheal Upchurch with The Seattle Times reviewed the exhibit and wrote that it features "some eye-catching statistical sculptures."
For instance, one wall shows a display of 3000 plastic bags, which some estimate is how many are used every quarter of a second in the U.S. Another wall is covered with 1500 disposable plastic water bottles; the amount used every second in the U.S.
Regarding the end of the exhibit, Upchurch wrote, "It leaves you with an unexpected - and tentatively optimistic - sense of coming full circle."
Plastic programs
The museum is partnering with the Seattle Theatre Group on Feb. 5, 2013 to present an evening of "Short Takes on Plastics." Ten experts from University of Washington and beyond will have six minutes and 20 slides to discuss a range of topics, covering the benefits, plus unwanted side effects of plastics on our health, cultures and environments across the world.
There will also be evening plastic programs, which includes a collaboration with the University of Washington Program on the Environment to present a

And, you thought comic books were merely fun and games and meant for some light reading.
But for one set of marketers, comics are serious stuff through which they hope to hook a young audience to their brands. Pizza chains to fruit juice marketers, all have come to believe in the power of the comic book to mesmerise children, while putting across a subtle message about their brand.
To project Dabur Foods' Real brand of fruit juice, the company recently launched its Real school contact programme with the creation of a comic book character, `Really 5', who symbolises "nutritious food, good health and happy living." Really 5 has a well-balanced diet of five elements ranging from eggs and milk to vegetables and nuts, and includes not just juice but Real fruit juice, identified as one of the power brands of Dabur.
Mr Sanjay Sharma, Head of Marketing, Dabur Foods Ltd said, "Kids have been constantly mesmerised by comic characters, which act as an instrument in injecting life into their world of fantasy. Real has used this medium to capture the attention of children and educate them about the elements of a nutritional diet or `Power of Five' in a more fascinating manner."
In the comic book, Really 5 battles with a junk food monster which overwhelms children to eat junk instead of healthy food. Really 5's virtuous diet vanquishes the monster's burgers and colas. Asked whether it is insidious branding, relating fruit juice with the Real brand, Mr Sharma says the concept behind the `power of five' is to "imbue in the minds of children, the constituents of a healthy diet."
Mr Sharma said the school contact programme is divided into two modules. While the first module extends from class II to V, the second covers nursery to class I. Both the modules have been implemented in Delhi, Noida, Gurgoan, Mumbai, Bangalore and Chennai. In Chennai, the campaign is divided into two phases. In Phase I, Dabur has targeted 20 schools reaching 1,200 students; the second phase will cover another 50 schools. "It's too early to comment on the impact of `schools marketing' on sales. But we would be tracking the progress of the programme and its impact," added Mr Sharma.
Pizza Corner, on the other hand, has been churning out comic books for its young clientele for the past several years. It launched a comic book hero, Zzapi Nercor, an anagram of Pizza Corner, in 1998. The comic book is now nine issues old. Mr Parag Dutta, COO, Pizza Corner India Pvt Ltd, said: "The Adventures of Zzapi Nercor is part of Pizza Corner's effort to further enhance its brand equity. The campaign is a full-fledged marketing initiative."
The Zzapi adventure series, with evil aliens Minodos and Paz Thuzi thrown in, did impact the pizza chain's sales positively, said Mr Dutta.
"The comic is interactive and there are loads of prizes," he added. There are various discounts and coupons attached to the comic which kids can get.
Having distributed nine lakh copies across its 20 dine-in outlets, Pizza Corner has priced the comic at Rs 15 from last edition on.
"Comic books are an integral part of our initiative to create a fun and creative dining atmosphere for children," added Mr Dutta.

Twilight of the CCP…AND Shambaughism?

I subscribe to ChinaMatters-ism. I think one of your great advantages Peter Lee is that you keep everyone honest; CCP or Western 'Democracy' alike.
Most Western commentators worldview is myopic in nature due to their mistaken belief that Western Neo-Liberalism is the end all be all.
You have great insight due to your ability to see beyond the bullshit. Bravo!
- Mr. Stone said...
Well done! There's a lot of balanced, thoughtful, and accurate insight, here.
You've given new words to my own observations on the situation in China, right now. Thank you!

Prison administrators, also known as prison wardens, oversee the day-to-day operations of prisons, including matters related to budgeting, programming and providing care for prisoners. Additionally, they are responsible for the training of correctional officers and supervisors. Much like business or organization administrators, prison administrators are well-paid often earning six-figure salaries. Other salary considerations include location and facility.
Average Salary
According to Simplyhired.com, the average annual salary for a prison administrator is $57,000 as of 2011. In comparison, the Bureau of Labor Statistics lists the median annual salary for supervisors of correctional officers at approximately this same amount as of 2011. Salaries for prison administrators may range from $35,000 to $100,000.
By Location
Because prison administrators receive their salaries from taxpayers, their salaries vary according to state budgets. According to a profile on prison wardens by Criminal Justice Profiles, prison wardens in Pennsylvania earn an average salary between $35,000 and $45,000 yearly as of 2008. In Nevada, they earn between $65,000 and $95,000 yearly as of 2008. In Kentucky and Connecticut, they earn between $42,000 and $56,000 yearly and $78,000 and $103,000 respectively as of 2008.
By Facility
According to a March 2011 article in the Marin County Journal, Quentin State Prison's -- California's oldest prison -- new warden Mike Martel earns approximately $122,000 yearly. In the prison system, as evidenced by Usajobs.org, it is not uncommon for prison wardens to earn six-figure salaries. A 2008 post for a prison warden at a Miami, Florida, prison lists the yearly salary at $114,000 and $159,000. Prison administrators working for smaller state or county prisons may earn under $50,000. Simplyhired.com lists the yearly salary for jail administrators at $49,000 yearly as of 2009.
Merit Pay
A March 2008 article for Prawfs Blawg discussed the topic of merit pay for prison wardens and whether wardens should receive additional compensation, via bonuses, for their performance. Their performance would be tied to prisoner recidivism rates, prisoner rehabilitation and post-prison employment for prisoners. The article goes on to ask the question of whether warden salaries should be based on these factors.

We suggest that all our customers review foreign office advice for Myanmar before travelling. Click here for the latest information from the foreign office.
A visa is COMPULSORY to enter Myanmar. A 28-day tourist visa is usually sufficient for most visitors. This visa is issued by a Myanmar Embassy or Consulate in your home country. An invitation letter is not mandatory, and it usually takes 3-5 working days to issue this visa.
The Kyat is Myanmar's official currency. US dollars are widely accepted, but we recommend for travellers to exchange some money into kyat. In many local restaurants and shops, kyat is the only method of payment allowed.
International credit cards such as Visa and Mastercard are NOT widely accepted and ATMs are in extremely short supply. It is advisable for you to take enough cash (USD or Euros) for purchases and payments, but only clean bank notes from 2006 onwards are acceptable. However, it is to be hoped that all this will change with the economic liberalisation and political reform process that began in 2011.
There are currently three 'official' exchange counters offering a better rate than the black market. We recommend changing your currency here as you are issued a receipt, the service is monitored and there is no chance of being ripped off. Your guide can assist to direct you to any of these places and it is expected more will open in the near future. Two of these counters are open at the Yangon International Airport in the arrival lounge. Note that the airport counters frequently run out of money by 3pm so this service currently is best for morning arrivals only. There is also one centre downtown on Thein Byu Road which is open seven days a week until 4pm. All three locations accept US Dollars, Euros and Singapore Dollars.
Myanmar's national language is Burmese, also known as Bamar. In the cities many of the older generation still speak very good English and it is also becoming popular again with the younger generation. Chinese is also widely spoken in urban areas and Thai is quite well understood in Eastern Myanmar.
Your mobile phone will NOT work in Myanmar as Myanmar currently has no roaming agreement with any country. Prepaid cards are available for purchase within the country. The USD/FEC 50 card is maximum 90 days validity after activated. These prepaid mobile phone cards are aimed at tourists visiting Myanmar who wish to keep in touch with friends and family.
Rice and noodles are the staple diet for most Burmese. Local specialities include curries, a variety of soups, and traditional beef, pork and poultry dishes. Fresh seafood is also available and is especially popular with visitors travelling to the coast. Chinese, Indian and Shan cuisine are also common in Myanmar, as is a variety of western cuisine which can be found in abundance in Yangon and Mandalay.
It is not advisable to drink tap water but bottled mineral water is safe and available everywhere. All hotels provide a complimentary bottle of local mineral water per person in the room. Ice cubes in drinks is generally OK in good standard hotels and restaurants but it is best to avoid it on street stalls or in country areas.
Visitors should not wear shorts, short skirts or other skimpy clothing when visiting pagodas and monasteries. Shoes (and socks!) must be removed before entering any religious building or private home. Refrain from photographing monks when they are around temples or in alms giving ceremonies
When it comes to shopping, bargaining is possible in markets and with street sellers where no fixed prices are displayed.
There is not much in the way of western style entertainment in Myanmar but Yangon has a few bars and nightclubs. In the rest of the country, entertainment is mostly confined to the hotels and tourist-orientated restaurants. For those seeking a taste of the local culture in the evenings, head to tea shop, beer hall or night market where the locals gather to relax and socialize.
All urban areas have minimum electricity (230 volts). Many places are equipped with private power generators. Most sockets found in hotels are French-style two-pin or British style three-pin. Power outages are quite common but most hotels have their own generator.
Myanmar is a safe country to visit. Occasions of street crimes against tourists are rare as punishments are high (hard labour). Instances of scams and touts are minimal compared with other Asian destinations. Be wary when buying gems and precious stones.
It's worth noting that talking politics with a local can land both you and them in trouble.

New types of cryptanalytic attacks using related keys
- Received:
- Revised:
In this paper we study the influence of key-scheduling algorithms on the strength of blockciphers. We show that the key-scheduling algorithms of many blockciphers inherit obvious relationships between keys, and use these key relations to attack the blockciphers. Two new types of attacks are described: New chosen plaintext reductions of the complexity of exhaustive search attacks (and the faster variants based on complementation properties), and new low-complexity chosen key attacks. These attacks are independent of the number of rounds of the cryptosystems and of the details of the F-function and may have very small complexities. These attacks show that the key-scheduling algorithm should be carefully designed and that its structure should not be too simple. These attacks are applicable to both variants of LOKI and to Lucifer. DES is not vulnerable to the related keys attacks since the shift pattern in the key-scheduling algorithm is not the same in all the rounds.

Not hired because of being Unemployed?
In this challenging economy, unemployed individuals are looking for any way to find suitable employment. However, in a recent article ...
There is no federal law prohibiting hiring decisions based on unemployed status (http://berenzweiglaw.com/
Though the federal discrimination laws (http://berenzweiglaw.com/
Congress has not yet approved this law; however, employers nationwide should pay careful attention to the proposed Act as it could significantly alter the hiring process. Even if not passed, employers should be aware of the growing trend from state legislatures to pass state specific laws prohibiting this type of discrimination. It is glowingly apparent that the hiring process has received much greater legislative attention, likely due to the increased unemployment and fewer hiring opportunities. Employers should regularly consult with their attorney to ensure whether or not their state prohibits this type of discrimination and update their employee handbook and hiring practices to be compliant with state and federal law.
