Analytics vs. the Rest of the Hockey world
Jason Strudwick
August 09 2014 01:52PM
I have been out of the NHL for three full years now. As a player I never once heard of advanced stats inside our dressing room. A coach never brought it to our attention or discussed it with us individually or as a group. Since then the analytical part of the game has picked up momentum. It is gaining traction and respect throughout the hockey world.
So why does it seem that for many people it is one or the other? Analytics or traditional hockey thinking?

UID Cards detect 45,000 duplicate connections & save Subsidy
How to Download Aadhaar Card? Click Here
Nearly 45,000 LPG consumers have been detected having two gas connections or illegal connection through the Aadhar UID cards in 19 districts so far. The oil companies is going to block one gas connection of each such consumer, says a Petroleum ministry official.
This will help save Rs 23 crore in annual subsidy, he said.
The consumers having two LPG connections were detected during a scrutiny of 50 lakh consumers in 19 districts during Phase -1 implementation of Aadhar card linked subsidy, the official claimed.
These consumers had two LPG connections under different names and addresses from different companies but had one Aadhaar number.
Petroleum Minister M Veerappa Moily said Wednesday that Aadhar card will no longer be made mandatory for giving LPG subsidies unless cleared by Supreme Court.
The ministry is implementing the scheme for transfer of LPG subsidy in cash to bank accounts of actual consumers in 97 districts of the country with a view to eliminating diversions and plug leakages.
"Aadhaar is only an identification card. We will not make it mandatory unless Supreme Court gives a clearance," Moily told reporters here.
The Supreme Court in an interim order had said that the Aadhaar number cannot be not made mandatory for people to avail any government services and nobody should be deprived of any such facilities for the want of the card.
The direct cash transfer for LPG started on June 1 in 19 districts.
The government gave three-month grace period to enable consumers to get Aadhaar card and seed it in their bank accounts. After the expiry of this period, cash subsidy is being provided only to consumers who have Aadhaar cards.

My UID Card Suggestions…
These technical issues are really hurdle to reach at common men and achieve targets. Delhi govt. has to deploy extra forces in East Delhi especially min. two enrollment center in one ward than we can achieve the targets.
Written by:- Jeevan Pant
Why MY UID Card is here?
We are here to deliver our views to govt. of India on UID Card/ Aadhar Card and request them that how can they improve functions of UID Card/ Aadhaar Card? We are in support of UID Card with our suggestion. We consider that UID Card/ Aadhaar Card can bring the revolutionary changes in the system and provide maximum benefits to actual beneficiary. We can use it as multi utility cards and it can stop fraud in system and keep all the data in single ID.
We are aware and know our govt. policies and recommends not to use UID Card data as proof or reference in legal proceeding. The law of UID Card data should be sensitive and harder. If anyone will found guilty in that case the minimum punishment should be 14 years for buyer, seller or every one which is concern to it.
We all are aware that every govt. knows that the corruption is major issue in India and 85 paisa in one rupee distribute in politicians and govt officials as bribe. Because of hierarchy of administration. NDA and UPA both political alliance shown intention to reduce the corruption in India. But it is India's and our unfortunately that both alliance are fighting to get no. 1 position to get bribe. Every alliance are deeply involve to spread corruption, that the reason our govt/politicians are not taking it seriously and always try to get down "Andolans" & "Dharna" all protest. Only because of corruption opposition & ruling running govt. simultaneously.
We are working hard and updating daily myuidcard.com so that we can create awareness and suggest to system to create policy and let it free to work. We need your suggestion to improve thoughts & can deliver better to nation.
If you have any suggestion and any query please send it on info(at)uidaicards.com. Our team will response you accordingly.
What are our suggestions for UID Card?
- Make it multi utility card and advice to use it as debit/Credit card.
- No need to fill account opening form in banks for new account, just swap customers & guarantor's aadhaar card to open new account. It will really saves time, money & greenery of nation.
- Consider UID Card as PAN card, because there is a possibility of duplicity in PAN card but with UID Card it is impossible and it really gives a big relief for new tax payers.
- USE UID Card as driving license and after cancellation there will be no possibility to make it again from any authority across India.
- The biggest advantages of UID card is to use it in election and it really saves millions money of Election Commission and provide free and fair election, every youngster who will have 18th years on election day will be eligible to cast his/her vote.
- USE UID Card in each and every purchase of Land, without UID card no one can purchase or sale property.
- Transition mare than 10000/- will be accepted through Debit Card/Cheque/ Credit Card or Cash with UID card ™s photocopy.
Board/Schools/University will update information of students in his/her UID Cards so that Universities process can be fast and no one can do forgery, students can get admission easily and submit information online without any document & hesitation.
- If UID Card authority wants they can make a medical database or health profile of UID Card holders so that it will saves life of his/her or his/her next generation because user ™s medical profile will help to Dr. to understand and get precaution on genetic transferable deices and provide a Unique facility to hospitals to inform victims family, without any trouble.
- UID card can bring 360 degree changes in PDS system and provide subsidy to actual beneficiary. This system will really help to bring social balance in India and control on corruption and I am sure that govt. of India will save millions on money to our suggestion and it really bring the speed in process and system.
- The UID Card should be enable with magnetic tape and smart-chip to use it in all major citizens & govt. schemes.
- Provide PDS subsidy via UID card but after purchase of goods.
Suggestion by:- Jeevan Pant
MYUIDCARD's suggestions to make Delhi Secure & Responsible
Finally center govt. has decided to provide subsidy in cash. It is really a good initiative but it worthless without PDS & fertilizers. The main drawback of UID Card based cash subsidy scheme is to provide cash on monthly basis. It is really equal to provide bribe to give them vote as Mr. Kesriwal said. I will compare it to provide death certificate to before death. It will not control which is our vision, it increase permanent corruption in system like monthly.
There are lots of challenges to implement UID card linked cash subsidy and govt. has not focused on that and launched it as it is because of Gujarat election. It has launched to get political mileage in Gujarat.
If the govt. is really serious to provide UID Card linked cash subsidy to actual beneficiary. They should understand the Alwar model first. It has become baseless there and failed because of poor ground work, unclear vision and corrupt govt. machinery. As the result actual beneficiaries have not gotten cash last four months.
Myuidcard.com is supporting cash subsidy because it will really stop the leakage in system but PDS & Fertilizer subsidy should be linked with different model. Govt. has to associate with local vendors to provide grain in control price and every beneficiary will get instant cash once he/she will purchase the subsidies products. It really save money of govt. and ensure that the beneficiary is getting benefits.
Written by :- Jeevan Pant
myuidcard.com is suggesting since begging to link UID card with govt. schemes and provide direct cash subsidy to beneficial. We welcome govt's policy and support it. It is a binning and we are too far to our targets. We can add much more services & other govt program with UID Card to control corruption and identify the right beneficial.
The Union Home Ministry is looking at a proposal for making the voter ID card double up as Aadhaar document.
The proposal, from the Election Commission of India and the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), will ensure that Aadhaar does not duplicate the data that is collected and used by the Election Commission.
Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Dr S Y Quraishi on Sunday said: With the UID project already completing the biometric process under its umbrella, by scanning fingerprints and retina scan, we have approached the Centre to merge the Election ID cards with UID.
If the MHA approves the proposal, voter ID cards may soon have UID unique numbers embossed on them.
We will have the unique identification numbers provided by the UID printed on the election IDs, Quraishi said. The single ID would enable the holder to prove his elector credentials and also access the benefits of government services under Aadhaar.
The CEC stated that the UID project, when started, had proposed to print the identification numbers on all Government documentations. But now, as I believe, they have started to issue the UID cards, he said.
Earlier, the CEC said Project Director for UID Nandan Nilekani had approached the EC for accessing their data base and voters list for preparing the UID database with over 750 million people registered with the EC, we have the largest data base to help the UID project, he said. The UIDAI is already in the process of integrating the Permanent Account Number (PAN)and UID details.
As in the case of the voter ID and Aadhaar, the Finance Ministry, too, was of the view that both the agencies, UIDAI and Income-Tax, would be duplicating the effort to reach the common goal of a biometrics-based identity.
Further, as Finance Minister, P Chidambaram had proposed a biometric PAN card to weed out fraudulent cards in circulation across the country.
But with Aadhaar, the decision was made by the Centre to merge the PANdetails with the UID.
It really good news for our NRI brothers and sisters that finally govt. has announced to provide UID cards to all NRI.
We are also suggesting to govt. every person in India should have an UID card to identify. UID card will really useful to identify and track the person. Please read our old articles for more details.

What is UID Card? (Jobs in UID Card)
UID Card is a 12-digit unique number which the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) will issue for all residents in India. UID Card will be stored in a centralized database and linked to the basic demographics and biometric information " photograph, ten fingerprints, iris and with some optional financial information of each individual. It is easily verifiable in an online, cost-effective way. So also, it is unique and robust enough to eliminate the large number of duplicate and fake identities in government and private databases the random number generated will be devoid of any classification based on caste, creed, religion and geography.
What is myuidcard.com?
My UID Card Dot Com is a group of young professionals and Mr. Jeevan Pant is heading them. Myuidcard.com or uidaicards.com is running July 2009. Because we know that the incomplete is always hazardous for Indan economy and if govt. is making a card only for identification than what will the future of other cards?

Main Street Rag Presents
One Nightstand
by Dede Wilson
70 pages, $9.95
Poetry and a Primer of Poetic Forms
One Nightstand is a two-part collection. In the first part, author Dede Wilson tickles you awake with rhyme and reasonand a few downy feathers from Mother Goose. This small volume is filled with playful poems, each in a different form. A perfect book for your bedside table.
Part two, Opening the Drawer to One Nightstand, is a primer for the poetic forms used in the collection. What is accentual verse? A huitain? How do you pronounce ghazal? All you ever wanted to know to write in form. A must for poets!
Strangers at a table sharing truffles.
She is wearing feathers. Im in ruffles.
I bet were both in hose by Donna Karan,
But this is not about the gems were wearing.
This concerns the linen on our laps.
Horrified, we see theyre paper naps.
We whimper as these greasy papers smear
The feathers and the frippery we wear.
You love to iron? I iron with fragrant oils!
Complicit now, we share how we enjoy
Our labor over laces, cases, sleeves,
Lush aromas wafting from the weaves.
And as the hall with shallow chatter fills,
We dream of dampening shams, of pressing frills.
Dont mention Jack the Ripper to your tea
Or in its presence show an angry face.
Dont hold Dasani close to MTV
Or let the liquid in on some disgrace,
For now were told that waters attitude
Is moved by thought, by touch, the place
From which it springs. Pollution makes it brood.
Do you remember Kobes big earthquake?
Researchers in Japan found water crystals (whod
Believe?) agitated and awake
In panicked state. Hard worlds and words are worst
For waters moods. Its more than we can take,
To know beneath the skin our bodies burst
With dejected crystals: sorrowed, sad. So,
Forgoing bliss, for which all waters thirst,
We let our troubled waters overflow.
Then opt to pop a pill to make us go.
Would be touch and go. You know,
When he disrobes, he peels and shows
Deeper than his bones. Dress
Our bard instead: layer over layer.
Pleat his collar like a weary kings.
Ruffle him in rhyme. Add a hat
Of dayswith a feather in the band.
No! One quick, nervous bird.
Rename our Bill a weighty pseudonym.
Torture a sestina out of him.
One Nightstand is Dede Wilsons third book of poetry. She is the author of Glass, published as a finalist in the Persephone Press Competition, and Sea of Small Fears, winner of the 2001 Main Street Rag Chapbook Competition. Dede has edited a memoir, Fourth Child, Second Daughter, and her poems and short stories have been published in many literary journals, including Spoon River Poetry Review, Carolina Quarterly, Flyway, Cream City Review, Southern Poetry Review, New Orleans Review, Tar River Poetry, Negative Capability and Light, the Quarterly of Light Verse. She has been a winner in the Blumenthal Readers and Writers Competition and has taught poetry workshops for the North Carolina Poetry Society and Queens University. Dede is married and lives in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The best way to travel from Stansted Airport to the Americana is to use one of the bus services.
The Stansted Express to Liverpool Street may look quicker but you will still have to travel from Liverpool Street to Baker Street on the underground.
Americana by BUS
Take ehe National Express - A6 Service service or EasyBus into London
They take about the same time but A6 is more comfortable, has a toilet on-board and more space for luggage.
On both services you need to buy a ticket from Stansted to Baker Street/Gloucester Place.
On the National Express you can also pay the driver. About £10.00
On the way into London you will be dropped off in Baker Street just in front of a pedestrian crossing, cross Baker Street there and follow the walking directions to the Americana.
The return journey depart from in front of the Alsop Arms pub in Gloucester Place. It is 200 meters from the Americana.
Americana by Train
The Stansted Express to Liverpool Street Station takes 46 minutes and there is a frequent service.
When you arrive at Liverpool Street station follow the signs to the Underground and go to the Circle, Metropolitan or Hammersmith & City Line platform where all of the train go to Baker Street.
If you get on a train that is going to Hammersmith; when you get to Baker Street you will get of the train on Platform 6. When you get to the top of the stairs from the platform DO NOT take the exit to your right. Cross over the bridge and follow the signs directing you to the Bakerloo and Juberlee Lines. When you have gone through the Exit gates look to the right and there are some stairs that will take you into the upper part of the station, DO NOT take the steps on the left that take you directly to the street.
If you get a Metropolitan Line train to Baker Street it will stop at Platform 2. If you do not want to climb all of the stair to the Baker Street (North) exit you can take the short flight of stairs down towards the Bakerloo and Juberlee Lines. When you get to the bottom of the stairs look to the left and you will see direction to an exit via an up esculator. This will take you directly to the Upper part of Baker Street Station.
When you get to the upper part of the station, where the entrance to the Bakerloo and Juberlee Line is, look for the exit sign-posted as BAKER STREET (North).
To walk to the Hotel from Baker Street Underground Station (400 meters)

Virtualization World 365: Server virtualization, hardware consolidation, virtual machines, P2V transformation, physical to virtual transformation
As a result of a major acquisition and steady business growth, Sanofi was struggling to manage its geographically dispersed IT infrastructure that spanned 26 separate sites around the world. Additionally, Sanofi's employees were finding it increasingly difficult to access and share data—a capability that is critical to advancing Sanofi's pharmaceutical research, regulatory approvals and product distribution.
Sanofi implemented EMC VPLEX to migrate 4,000 applications to a centrally managed IT infrastructure while consolidating its sprawling 26 data centers to just three, now located in the US, France and Singapore. With more than 200 applications already migrated, Sanofi has achieved increased agility in its data center. The "Federated AccessAnywhere" technology inside VPLEX was a key enabler to achieving and expediting a truly massive IT consolidation—while avoiding any downtime of production systems. This migration and new ability to share, access and move information has significantly reduced Sanofi's operating costs and improving business agility.
In just six months, EMC and systems integrator, Accenture, helped Sanofi build its new IT infrastructure, complete with three data centers that are now fully interconnected and operate as a global private cloud. Sanofi's private cloud leverages VMware vSphere virtualization and cloud infrastructure solutions and EMC unified storage.

Last month, the Eagan & Lakeville Resource Center began asking its volunteers to sift through donations and set aside food with "low or no nutritional value."
And for about three weeks, packages of ramen noodles, bakery goods and other food deemed unhealthy by the food shelf was being discarded into a trash bin instead of given away.
"LOW OR NO, out they go!" read a posting at the pantry last month that detailed what could be distributed according to its "Healthy Food Policy," which began Sept. 1.
"It was shocking to see," volunteer Rose Hoye said last week of the food she described as "perfectly good" being trashed.
The Eagan & Lakeville Resource Center now is redistributing the food to the Salvation Army, according to Second Harvest Heartland.But the Eagan food shelf first had to obtain permission from Second Harvest because of an old rule that prohibits the Maplewood-based distributor's partners from sharing donated food between each other.
At a time when food shelves are seeing an increased demand and pushing more perishables and other healthy food, the Eagan & Lakeville Resource Center is among a few hunger-relief organizations taking a step further than most and creating policies that specify what types of food they seek out and ultimately distribute.
The policies raise several questions, such as where the food deemed not nutritious will end up and whether it is fair to take away a person's right to choose what they want to eat.
Food at the Eagan & Lakeville Resource Center considered "non-distributable" because of the policy includes canned pasta, chips and other bagged salty snacks, and sweets such as cakes, doughnuts, cookies and pastries. Pop, candy and sugar-added beverages also are banned.
But the policy is more than just what is and is not distributed, Lisa Horn, the food shelf's executive director, wrote in an email last week.
"It's an organizational wide commitment to healthy foods on our shelves, at community events and in volunteer or staff meetings," she wrote.
The idea relies on a new mind-set for all involved -- donors, food shelves, food banks and people who eat the healthy food, said Susan Russell Freeman, executive director of Bloomington-based Volunteers Enlisted to Assist People, or VEAP, the state's largest food shelf in terms of the number of people served.
"I think that with food shelves, people donated as best they could," she said. "But sometimes, food shelves seem to be the receptacle of food that people didn't care about -- it was filling. Whatever anybody would donate we would take because something's better than nothing. Well, that's not necessarily the case anymore."
Second Harvest Heartland CEO Rob Zeaske said its rule regarding food shelves sharing food has been in place for many years so that "it is always known where the food is going."
"It's about traceability for food safety," he said. "It also is an issue of when a donor gives us food and is planning to take a tax deduction that they know it's going to a qualified agency and that it is being given away and not sold."
The situation Eagan & Lakeville Resource Center faced last month was unique, he said.
"We've got a pilot, essentially, with Eagan Resource Center, and we're trying to figure how we can balance this as our partners are asking for different type of foods," he said.
Anita Berg, director of programs at the Emergency Foodshelf Network, a food bank in New Hope, said the Eagan & Lakeville Resource Center's policy is the "most comprehensive" among the ones she knows of because of its stance on what it gives out.
"The new approach for emergency food systems in many cases is to try and be more progressive, and they've taken a very progressive stance on that," she said. "They have a limited amount of shelves, a limited amount of capacity to provide food, and there are certain things they want to focus on."
The Emergency Foodshelf Network also created a healthy food policy recently that specifies the types of nutritious foods it seeks to purchase and distribute to food shelves and other partners, Berg said.
But, she said, ramen noodles, candy bars and "other things that we would not necessarily purchase" inevitably end up at the warehouse after community food drives and ultimately at food shelves.
"We don't have a hard, strict policy on sorting that stuff out," she said.
VEAP, which serves residents of Bloomington, Richfield, Edina and South Minneapolis, is shaping a healthy food policy that should be completed by the end of the year -- around the time of its move into a much larger building, Freeman said. Nutritionists from Bloomington Public Health, General Mills and the University of Minnesota's Extension Service are helping form the policy, she said.
VEAP has not decided whether it will ban unhealthy food from its shelves or limit it, Freeman said.
"We're just starting to ask ourselves those hard questions," she said. "I think what you really have to think about is how it will affect you and potential donors. We are here because of what people give us. So our relationship with them has to be a healthy one."
Choice must be taken into account, she said.
"Certain things are OK in moderation," she said. "I mean, we're not the food police. What we are is an agency that will help people access healthy food that can feed their families."
Last year, the Minneapolis Healthy Food Shelf Network was formed by the city's Health Department to help food shelves procure and distribute more high-quality, healthy food items -- and hopefully reduce obesity and other chronic diseases.
"From our perspective at the Health Department, we were looking at rates of obesity and chronic disease across the city," said Kristen Klingler, a senior public health specialist at the department. "And we see really high rates of those diseases within low-income populations and certain racial and ethnic communities -- and those tend to be the groups in the community that are relying really heavily on food shelves and meal programs right now."
The initiative, funded mainly through a Statewide Health Improvement Program grant, brings together about 20 food shelves and other hunger-relief organizations to also try to solve their shared challenges to providing healthy food.
As a group, food shelves feel more comfortable telling donors "thanks, but no thanks," Klingler said.
"They're kind of in a precarious position," she said. "They don't want to turn down donations because some donors will say, 'Well, if you don't want to accept the pop and chips, then we won't give you anything, because we don't want to spend time sorting it out just to give you the healthy food.' "
The Brian Coyle Center in Minneapolis' Cedar-Riverside neighborhood and Waite House in the Phillips neighborhood are working on healthy food policies, Klingler said.
Changes also have been made at Keystone Community Services, which runs two foods shelves in St. Paul and one in Roseville. Although there are no formal policies in place, the agency no longer purchases sugary food and beverages from food banks. Instead, it is pushing more produce and low-sodium and low-fat products.
The changes were spurred in part by a 2011 survey of the agency's clients that showed they had twice the national average incidence of diabetes, said Christine Pulver, its director of basic needs. Despite that, Keystone's three food shelves still offer sweets and other unhealthy food if it comes in through community food drives, she said.
"I think we need to have a really healthy selection out there, but in the end, the individual needs to make their own choices," she said.
Tossing unhealthy food in the trash, she said, never has been an idea on the table for Keystone's three food shelves.
"Something like 40 percent of the food produced in the U.S. is never consumed," Pulver said. "That just seems irrational and a number that food shelves should not be contributing to."

From my point of view, one of the major stories from 2011 has to be the growth of the Occupy movement - which in many places, not least London, has shown itself to be more than a ragged protest. Rather, it is a movement looking to make a sustained, subversive impact on our dominant political and economic processes.

Lome, Togo — A child born with a disability in Togo is often considered cursed; his plight symptomatic of sorcery or demonic possession. Children with disabilities are frequently humiliated, ostracized and even physically attacked, triggering a vicious cycle in which the disabled child's family in an impoverished community has even fewer opportunities to earn a living.
According to UNICEF, children living with disabilities are among the most isolated among all groups of children in Africa, representing five to ten percent of all children on the continent. Many of these children's disabilities are the result of birth complications, diseases and poor overall health.
Compassion's Child Survival Program helps prevent birth complications by providing at-risk pregnant women with nutritional support and prenatal care, along with ongoing health care for both mother and baby.
For children who are born with disabilities, Compassion's Complementary Interventions Program can provide help with surgery, prosthetic limbs, wheelchairs and trauma counseling.

Repetitive pop music with a drum. >_>
"This generation" -_- I'm getting sick of hearing those words. Stop stereotyping us like that, it makes you sound like grumpy old people. I found this music very relaxing and almost hypnotizing, and I'm a huge fan of Lewis Carroll. See that? A 'youngster' that actually reads older books. Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass are two of my favorites, and I'm glad to see a little tribute to Alice.
I have no idea, but I hate it. That stuff sucks. My ex was obsessed with it and made me listen to it all the time, hoping I'd grow to like it, until I started to loathe it with all my being. Yup, not my kind of music at all.
I certainly like this sort of stuff because im so sick and tired of listening to some broken hearted bloke/woman and their backstory. Its nice to listen to something not too heavy and just relax, plus when your working you dont want some heavy guitar solo jizzing in your ears. chiptune ftw.

Blepharitis: clinic and treatment1
What is Blepharitis?
Blepharitis - a large group of eye diseases including chronic inflammation of the eyelid margins. Treatment of such diseases is difficult.
What triggers Blepharitis?
Causes of blepharitis vary. Edge of the eyelids can be affected by Demodex mites.
80% of people have these mites living on the surface of the skin,in the sebaceous glands in hair follicles.
By reducing the body's resistance, due to exhaustion, hypothermia or any previous diseases, ticks become active, proliferate, and get on the eyelid skin, the eyelashes, causing Demodectic blepharitis.
Some people who have hypersensitivity to different irritants (dust, cosmetics, pollen) may develop an allergic blepharitis. Usually it is complicated by inflammation of the mucous membranes of the eyes (conjunctivitis).
Blepharitis often accompanies diabetes, and diseases of the digestive organs: gastritis, colitis, cholecystitis.
Blepharitis often occurs in long-sighted people if they do not wear glasses. Eye muscles come in tension and get tired, people feel uncomfortable, rub their eyes and hands can bring the infection.
Sometimes, the infection gets into the eyelid skin with blood and lymph from the patient's tooth, from the tonsils in chronic tonsillitis, from any other source of infection.
Symptoms of Blepharitis
Characteristic features and conditions of distinction:• Scaled (B. squamosa), or plain (B. simplex), - blepharitis, characterized by hyperemia and thickening of the eyelid with the formation of flakes of desquamated epithelium of sebaceous glands and epidermis tightly attached to the skin near the eyelashes.
• Ulcerative (B. ulcerosa) - blepharitis is characterized by purulent inflammation of the eyelash follicles and the formation of ulcers on the margin of the eyelids.
Eyelashes can stick together at the basis, a yellowish crust is forming, the skin becomes ulcerated, on the place of the ulcers scars are formed. In severe cases, lashes fall out, the front edge of the eyelid may become wrinkled.
• Seborrheic blepharitis
Is frequently associated with seborrheic dermatitis of the scalp, eyebrows. Milder than ulcerative blepharitis. There is gray greasy scaling along the eyelashes. After removal of scales bleeding ulcers are left, as in ulcerative blepharitis. Sometimes there is loss and graying of eyelashes.
• Meibomian blepharitis from Lat. Glandulae Meibomi- blepharitis occurs due to hypersecretion of cartilage glands and deficiency of removing secretions.
• Rosacea (B. rosacea, from Lat. Rosaceus - Pink) - blepharitis, characterized by the appearance on the skin of small grayish-red nodules, topped with pustules, often combined with pink acne. Today for treatment of rosacea dermatologists recommend Azelaic Acid Cream.
• Demodectic blepharitis
• Allergic blepharitis
Usually is combined with an inflammation of the mucous membrane, there is extreme sensitivity to drugs, cosmetics and perfumes, pollen, dust (or home production), cockroaches, fur, feather, feathers, tools, household chemicals, pesticides, detergents, and chemical pollution. Acute allergic blepharitis occurs suddenly: swelling of the eyelids, tearing, mucous discharge, pain in eyes, itchy eyelids, photophobia.
Usually both eyes are affected.
Seasonal exacerbation is common in blepharitis caused by pollen during flowering herbs and trees. Herbal blepharitis often develops after prolonged use of eye drops and ointments, but can also occur with the introduction of drugs inside.
Disease begins from redness, swelling of eyelid skin, itching, thickening of the eyelids, loss of eyelashes.
Especially dangerous when eyelashes begin to grow in the direction of the cornea and scratch it. It can form erosion and ulcer of the cornea, threatening the loss of sight.Scarring sores can lead to deformation of the margin, abnormal growth of eyelashes that grow in different directions, even can grow in the direction of the eye, constantly irritating it. Lashes are sparse, thin, easy to fall out, badly grow new ones. The disease can occur without formation of scales and ulcers.
Diagnosis of BlepharitisDiagnosis of blepharitis is based on the clinical picture.
Treatment of BlepharitisScientists have achieved a lot in the development of treatment of blepharitis.
Nevertheless, treatment of blepharitis is difficult and long. It requires patience and persistence from both the physician and the patient. It is important to identify and eliminate the cause of the disease. Otherwise, it will recur and progress despite of treatment.
A patient if he wants to get well soon, should scrupulously follow a doctor's prescription.
Ulcerative blepharitis
Careful hygiene will help recovery. Handling eyelids with wet lotion or blurring the edges of the eyelids with ointment is good. On the eyelid may be applied a complex ointment containing a corticosteroid and an antibiotic: norfloxacin eye drops (dexamethasone 0.1% + Norfloxacin Ear / Eye Drops).
Seborrheic blepharitis
Hygiene occupies an important place. With the purpose of treatment are prescribed: blurring the edges of the eyelids with ointment hydrocortisone (hydrocortisone - 1%, and if severe - 2,5%), instillation of eye drops "artificial tears": a tear, natural or oftagel. Against the symptoms of conjunctivitis drops of dexamethasone 0.1% or Lotemax ( Loteprednol 0.5%) are used.
Demodectic blepharitis
The main goal of treatment - to reduce the level of damage ticks. Serious hygienic care is recomended. Use eye ointment, hydrocortisone 2.5%, eye ointment gentamicin. It is important to apply ointment on eyelid abundantly before going to bed, because it breaks the life cycle of ticks. Against the symptoms of conjunctivitis drops of dexamethasone 0.1% or Lotemax ( Loteprednol 0.5%) may be used.
Allergic blepharitis
Elimination of "guilty" allergen, if possible - is the most effective and safest method of treatment. Treatment includes antiallergic eye drops and blur the edges of the eyelid with anti-inflammatory corticosteroid eye ointment (hydrocortisone). Also use of systemic antiallergic tablets gives good results. One of the best antiallergic drugs of the last generation is Clarinex (Desloratadine). If it is too expensive you may try Cetirizine HCL (Generic Zyrtec).
In case of blepharitis you should contact a doctor for an eye examination, especially after 40 years. At this age, due to the decrease of refractive power of lens eyes become tired quickly. In this case inflammatory disease of the ciliated edges of eyelid is often developed.
Those who have allergic blepharitis, should protect their eyes from dust, wear sunglasses, do not use mascara, eye shadow, and during the flowering plants try not to leave the town.
Each morning begins with hygiene procedures. Remember that if you were affected by blepharitis, do not tolerate cold water. You can continue to hardening (even a cold shower, even a hole), but only alternate it with warm water.
Cold water causes venous congestion and exacerbate the disease, warm causes arterial hyperemia that contributes to the fight against disease.
After washing massage is required. Before this procedure, it would be good to drop into the eyes of a 2% solution of novocaine or 0.25% dicaine to relieve discomfort.
Most important is the full 8-hour night's sleep. Try to give your eyes rest during the day: at least a few minutes, lie down or sit with eyes closed.
TV watching no more than two hours and a distance of not less than 4 meters. The eyes should "walk" and not look at one point.
Protect your eyes from dust and sun with sunglasses, especially in spring when the disease may worsen due to ultraviolet rays of the sun. Therefore, it is better not to sunbathe in the summer and stay in the shade.
Prevention of Blepharitis:
Need to respect hygiene rules:
- Do not wipe the face of someone else's towel, handkerchief or rubbing eyes with dirty hands.
- If in the family somebody is ill with Demodectic blepharitis, hang his towels separately from other family members, make sure that no one would lie on his pillow. Only a conscious attitude of the patient will prevent infecting other members of the family.

Va. Legislation Would Prohibit Criminal History Questions on Applications
Virginia lawmakers recently introduced legislation to increase the employment chances for ex-felons, continuing the ex-offender restoration reforms championed by former Gov. Robert McDonnell.
State Sen. Don McEachin (D-Dist. 9) and Delegate Rob Krupicka (D-Dist. 45) recently introduced legislation in their respective chambers that would prohibit state agencies from inquiring about criminal history on employment applications.
So-called "ban the box" bills are among several measures advocated by civil rights groups and other activists on behalf of ex-offenders. The initiative gets its name from the box on job applications in which applicants have to indicate whether they have a criminal history. The movement seeks to give those applicants a chance to exhibit their skills, talents and personalities during the hiring process before they have to reveal their criminal past.
"When a person has served his time and is ready to become a constructive member of our society, we need to make sure that can happen," McEachin said in a statement. "This legislation will create that opportunity for folks who want to get jobs and take care of their families instead of keeping them down and keeping them in a perpetual cycle of incarceration and unemployment."
Advocates believe that when ex-offenders gain employment they are less likely to re-offend.
"75 percent of former offenders remain unemployed for up to one year after release," Gail Arnall, executive director of Offender Aid and Restoration, said at a press conference to announce the new legislation. "Unemployed former offenders are 2.1 times more likely to be re-arrested than employed former offenders.
Businesses are missing out on qualified applicants because they are making assumptions about them before interviewing them. Employers have the right to know someone's criminal background, but at least give them a chance at an interview."
Krupicka, whose district includes African-American neighborhoods in Alexandria, Arlington and Fairfax, added that the measure could also help the state conform with federal censure.
"This is also an important liability issue for Virginia," he said. "The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has started to take actions against employers that fail to hire somebody solely due to a criminal background. Virginia can avoid this legal liability by ensuring we give prospective employees of the state a fair chance at a job interview by eliminating the criminal background box on employment applications. "
In May 2013, McDonald made the restoration of voting rights an automatic process for nonviolent felons.
"A critical component of ensuring the security and protection of our citizens is reducing recidivism," he said at the time. "Over 90 [percent] of inmates will be released from prison back into society. By making sure we have an effective system in place to give past offenders the opportunity to resume their lives as productive citizens, we can better keep them from committing another crime and returning to prison. This reduces victimization and prison expansion and is smart government."

Earlier this year, it was announced that D-M's Air Traffic Control Tower had won the D. Ray Hardin Air Traffic Control Facility of the Year award.
Davis-Monthan has won the award at the Air Combat Command level for the past two years. This is the first time that D-M has won at the Air Force level.
"We submitted an Air Force form 1206 with all our accomplishments and things that we have done throughout the year," said 1st Lt. Rolland Holland, 355th Operations Support Squadron airfield operations flight commander. "It went up to higher headquarters where it was decided who the winner was."
Lieutenant Holland ultimately believes D-M's control tower won because of the complexity of the base.
"We have ten flying units here, customs and border patrol, the snowbird ramp, our A-10s, C-130s, the alert detachment and our proximity with Tucson International Airport," Holland said. "Having all this is something you don't really see at other bases. I think that's what sets us apart."
