Type 212/214 submarines
Writing by admin on Tuesday, 16 of October , 2007 at 7:52 pm
One of the most advanced submarines in the world is the German Type 212 class. Equipped with a fuel cell propulsion system, the Type 212 submarines are the first of only two fuel cell propulsion system equipped submarines, the other being the Russian Lada class submarine.
Initial designation of the advanced project was Type 212. Due to significant updates to the design the designation was changed to Type 212A. The submarine itself represents a great leap in conventional submarine technology. Designed to be virtually independent from outer air, the Type 212A is fitted with an air-independent propulsion system. This system is a combination of a conventional diesel generator with a lead acid battery and a fuel cell equipped with oxygen and hydrogen storage. The fuel cell system is comprised of nine Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cells, each of these cells providing between 30 kW and 50 kW.
The Type 212A is probably the quietest submarine in the world. Engineers have managed to reduce the Type 212A's signature by using the latest technology available. Their aim was to reduce the waterborne noise, magnetism, radar, infrared and pressure signature to as low as possible. The diesel generator plant is mounted on a swinging deck platform with double elastic mounts for noise and vibration isolation. The propeller motor is directly coupled to the seven-bladed screwback propeller. The pressure hull is built from non-magnetic steel of high strength and resilience. A notable design feature is the prismatic hull cross-section and smoothly faired transitions from the hull to the sail, improving the boat's stealth characteristics.
The submarine has not sacrificed agility. Capable of operating in waters only 20 meters deep, the crew of the sub compares it to a dolphin. Four of the Type 212A submarines were built at the shipyards of HDW and Thyssen Nordseewerke GmbH (TNSW) of Emden for the German Navy. The four submarines are U31, U32, U33 and the U34. Two more Type 212A submarines have been built by Fincantieri for the Italian Navy: Salvatore Todaro and Scire.
Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft GmbH or HDW, the people who created this masterpiece of technology have taken the Type 212A a step further. The Type 214 submarine is af urther improvement of the Type 212A, with an incresed diving depth of more than 400 meters due to use of new pressure hull materials. Performance of the AIP system has been increased with two Siemens PEM fuel cells which produce 120kW per module and will give the submarine an underwater endurance of two weeks. A hull shape which has been further optimised for hydrodynamic and stealth characteristics and a low-noise propeller combine to decrease the submarine's acoustic signature.
Greece has ordered four Type 214 submarines for the Hellenic Navy:Papanikolis, Pipinos, Matrozos, Katsonis. South Korea has ordered three: Admiral Sohn Won-il, Jung Ji and a third one to enter service in 2009. The submarines will form the KSS2 Class.

Waste of taxpayer dollars? Submarines provide the best source for maritime surveillance, anti-surface warfare, and anti-submarine warfare. They provide a very real deterrence to sea-based aggression and are the best value per Euro available to a maritime nation. Like it or not the world is not a friendly place and never will be. Any country that has a coastline and commerce cannot afford to be without a navy and navies need submarines.

Vincent Jang, You are a tenth rate amateur working for the illegitimate government of the so called People's Republic of China, which does NOT govern with conent of the governed, has stolen 60% of the wealth of that nation, and which butchers people who it percieves as a threat. Lacking REAL brains or a system that works they / YOU attempt to steal or decieve to get information your corrupt state cnnot produce. You do NOT represent the FREE people of the NATION of Taiwan, but work for Bandits.

Yes, new would be kind… although since it'll you need to be MMO, I couldn't care less. I'll play one when they evolve a LOT… then again, maybe Blizzard could pull it off. They have the talent and the money… whether they WANT and you'll… who knows. I'd have trouble breaking the MMO cash cow sometimes, if I got part of it;).

And this is another reason why owning a console nowadays is rubbish. It allows the developers to kick you around around they like, and you can't do a damn thing about it might, legally anyway. Add the exorbitant premiums on games and you need to just buy a LAPTOP OR COMPUTER instead. Yeah, I believe the PC has been better than any system.

Happy Saturday, everybody! I come to you today having been tagged in the Fall Time Cozy Book Tag courtesy of Lucía over at Making Days Better. I adore her blog, and eagerly await each of her posts, and highly recommend you check her out.
So, let's get right into it!
⋘Crunching Leaves⋙
The world is full of colour. Choose a book that has red, oranges, and yellows on the cover.
This is a really sweet book, and – despite not being particularly fall-related – has a very autumnal colour scheme. It's a great, fast paced read that exists as a spin off to my favourite book, Anna and the French Kiss.
⋘Cosy Sweater⋙
It's finally warm enough to don warm, cosy clothing. What book gives you the warm fuzzies?
I love this book simply because Rainbow Rowell is a great author, but more so because this book is very real. The writing is raw, and the people are entirely believable, so much so that it feels like you're peering through the window into Eleanor and Park's lives. It gives me the warm fuzzies because of this realness, and how sweet it can be.
⋘Fall Storm⋙
The wind is howling and the rain is pounding. Choose your favourite book or genre that you like to read on a stormy day.
I'd say my favourite genre is thriller-mystery for stormy days, If You're Lucky by Yvonne Prinz being the perfect example. This book follows unreliable narrator Georgia after the death of her brother, and the arrival of Fin into her small town.
⋘Cool, Crisp Air⋙
Who is the coolest character you'd want to trade places with?
Magnus Bane is definitely the coolest character I've ever read about! As a warlock, he is immortal, and so has witnessed and experienced many eras in time, yet still manages to stay modern and witty. I adore him!
⋘Hot Apple Cider⋙
What under-hyped book do you want to see become the next biggest, hottest thing?
This book has a great message about body image in it, and exists in a dystopian world I believe could one day come to light provided our attitudes stay the same. This is a great read, and I highly recommend it.
⋘Coat, Scarves, and Mittens⋙
The weather has turned cold and it's time to cover up. What is the most embarrassing book cover you own that you'd like to keep hidden from the public?
Movie editions of books in general are God awful, but this is a particular beast. Why is it windy?! As beautiful as Cara Delevingne is, she's frankly used on this cover to increase sales for both the book and the movie – that's a given. It also gives it away that didn't read this book until the movie was released…
⋘Pumpkin Spice⋙
What's your favourite fall-time comfort food?
Fall is the time you can really start to drink cosy drinks (if that's a thing?). Thus, hot chocolate, whipped cream, marshmallows, and a dusting of cocoa powder on the top. Delicious!
⋘The Nominees⋙
To complete this set of questions, I tag…
If you enjoyed reading this tag, I highly encourage you to complete it yourself. It's a lot of fun, and really got me into the fall mood.
Thanks for reading, and make sure you tell me if you do complete this tag so I can see your answers!

That will greatly help you turn that knowledge into outcome, we've put together this manageable collection of well-being insurance and health suggestions. We asked three experts -- a naturopathic physician, a dietitian, and also a personal coach -- to inform the very most effective five simple-but-significant lifestyle-medicine adjustments that they recommend. Besides giving you distinct takes on the best way to decide on your wellbeing battles, this list gives you choices you can make with no whisked off to a realityshow fat plantation -- or purchasing a second freezer for all anyone calorie-controlled, pre-portioned frozen dishes.

Your entire body thinks what you think, so revolve around the good. Eat your veggies Shoot for five portions of veggies a day -- either raw, steamed, or stir-fried. A diet full of vegetables is associated with a reduced risk of developing cancers of the lung, colon, breast, cervix, esophagus, stomach, bladder, pancreas, liver, and cartilage. And several of the strongest phyto nutrients will be the ones with the boldest shades -- including as broccoli, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, tomatoes, grapes, and leafy greens.

A "5 meals great" may assist you to handle your own weight, maintain your cool, retain your attention, and avoid cravings. Exercise daily Were you aware that daily physical exercise could decrease all of the biomarkers of ageing? This consists of improving vision, countering blood pressure, improving lean muscle massbuilding, lowering cholesterol, and improving bone density. If you wish to survive very well and survive longer, you need to exercising! Studies reveal that just 10 minutes of exercise creates a difference -- so conduct something! Crank the dancing and stereo on your living room. Sign up for swing dancing or ballroom dancing courses. Walk to the park together with your kids or a neighbor you'd like to grab up with. Jump rope or play hopscotch. Spin a hula-hoop. Play water volleyball. Cycle to Do the Job. Jump on a trampoline. Proceed for a hike. Obtain a Excellent night's sleep If you have trouble sleeping, then try relaxation techniques like meditation and yoga. Or consume only a small bedtime snack of meals proven to help alter the body and head into sleeping mode: wholegrain cereal with oatmeal, milk, cherries, or chamomile tea. Darken the room a lot more and twist your clock away from you. Write down stressful or anxieties notions to receive them from your own face and on the webpage. This will help you place them into perspective and that means you're able to stop fretting about these. Christina Reiter, M.S., R.D. Resident consulting dietitian in the University of Colorado--Boulder Wardenburg Health Center for Nutrition Education and Therapies and former director of the nourishment plan in Metropolitan State College of Denver. 1. Assess your food 'tude What we eat and how we feel are joined in rather complex manners. A healthful method of ingestion is centered on savoring taste, eating to gratification, and rising vitality, instead of emphasizing fat loss. Assess your equilibrium of low-calorie foods, nutrient-dense meals (giving many nutritional elements per calorie) , and foods which are calorie packed but nutrient-poor. Most Americans need to consume more new wholefoods (in contrast to processed, highly refined foods). Attempt to add a lot more whole grains, vegetables and fruits, and legumes into your meals. Publish these low-fat foods using a wholesome extra fat or lean protein to extend satisfaction. 2. Eat as a child In case adding fruits and vegetables sounds fishy, turn to "finger-food" models that pre school kiddies love -- carrot and celery sticks, cherry tomatoes, broccoli florets, grapes, berries, and fruits that are dried. All these are supplements power houses packaged with antioxidants. 3. Make a picky eater Limit fats and trans fats, and make an effort to eat more meals full of anti-inflammatory omega3 efas to decrease your chance of cardiovascular illness and perhaps even enhance sad moods. The same of only one gram of EPA/DHA (eicosapentaenoic acid/docosahexaenoic acid) daily is suggested. Eating cold water oily fish (wild salmon, mackerel, mackerel, trout) two to 3 times per week can supply both EPA and DHA. Adding up into just two tbsp of ground flax seed along with eating beef, milk, and cheese from naturally-occurring creatures will supply you with a wholesome dose of omega-3s. 4. Use foods over Nutritional Supplements Supplements aren't a substitute for a superb nutritional supplement. Although many health experts recommend having a multivitamin and vitamin supplement that supplies 100 to 200 percentage of your recommended daily price, every and every every nutritional supplement should really be carefully assessed for safety and purity. Distinct supplements have been linked with toxicity, and responses with medicines, rivalry together with other nutrients, and much higher chance of disorders like cancer, cardiovascular problems, and diabetes.

Since last Thursday, life got a little chaotic. I haven't done much but fall into bed the past four nights and wake up with bags under my eyes to start again. The exhaustion is because our friends are closing their retail store, so I volunteered my talents of being a selling machine to help with the big sale to move the final inventory. Then I had to wake up today to go to my "real" job and work a full day (which I have not done in a while) to relieve someone who was going to be out. This evening I told Dan that I was feeling a little numb, and I knew that I needed to spend some time in the Word and thinking about my girl.
We are not big t.v. people, but one of our shows that we are trying to catch up on has an underlying theme about a dad who's daughter passes away. Tonight as we ate dinner, the episode was about him seeing his little girl as a teenager. Blah, blah, blah… fast forward to the show being over, dishes done, a load of laundry folded, and I went upstairs to have a little "me" time while Dan studied. I read a little, and then I turned on the song that really brings me to my knees, Rock of Ages. It began to play, and I did something that D tells me that he does a lot that I have never done, and that is stand over the crib and look down into it. I began standing and realizing that the sheets have never been washed, and then I fell to my knees in humility, then I fell on my face in agony. "I just miss her ," I said to the Lord, and "I don't know how to pray or why she had to go."
It reminded me of a passage that I read Friday morning that was talking about how Mary, the mother of Jesus, was learning of her son's death right after his birth. She was told:

text: Home Insights Back to Insights How will speech & gesture recognition change the future of UX? 10 December 2015 Tweet Share Karun Soni Consultant User Experience, or UX, is exactly what it says on the tin. Much advancement has come in the form of better design, easier navigation and a user-orientated approach to implementations. However, with the advancement of voice and gesture recognition in the near future, perhaps UX will be further revolutionised to a point where users have a completely effortless experience. Voice and gesture recognition currently are seen as something 'cool' or 'nice to have', in many devices. However as they advance, they could become a more central feature in everyday use, and UX as we know it could change forever… Voice recognition Many have seen the Siri responses on our iPhones, but the future is taking the right steps towards having a real conversation with our devices. Siri and S-Voice tend to let you ask them what to do, not real conversations, just responding to commands. However the future points towards NLU (natural language understanding), which is more human-like, flexible and understanding of what the user says. Artificial intelligence is developing through machine learning, and there is certainly a push for technologies to move in this direction, and the competition to get there will be fierce amongst the Microsoft/ Google/ Apple companies. With the launch of the iWatch last year, as well as screen-less wearables surfacing, voice recognition will become an even more integral part of user experience in the near future- however the functionality will have to advance further then us telling our phones to do a google search. Machine learning and NLU will be crucial for this. The future simply holds endless possibilities; we might be talking to our kitchens and furniture! Our cars will have fully integrated voice recognition. Imagine this combined with driverless cars- the experience would be completely pleasurable, unique and luxurious. When I think about the future of voice recognition it is easy to get lost in the extremes: The movie 'Her' shows masses of people walking down the street having conversations with their devices, characters in video games speaking to you; and the most strangely, a relationship with a self-learning voice. Gesture recognition Micro-interactions are very important when users build a relationship with an application; these are contained moments within the app, such as swiping and tapping. At times users build psychological movement associations to the app with these actions. Touch screens marked the beginning of this trend; however it is still developing as an aspect of UX. Take the Samsung Galaxy which knows when you are looking at the phone, and the S4 which knows when the user is doing things above the phone and responds to it appropriately. This is potentially why there is a rumour that Apple is looking to have a new iPhone with 'eyeball recognition locking system'. TV's already have gesture recognition, as well as voice recognition where you might request various channels. This solves the problems such as when you can't find a TV remote and urgently need to pause the program, for example. What is the future? Devices such as the 'Sixth Sense' are good indicators of this- using gesture recognition in a creative way- in this example having a tiny projector that you can wear around your neck and having the ability to play around with the graphics in front of you with sensors on your fingertips. This is exactly what believe the future holds, of something wider and more creative use that already exists. What does this mean for UX in the future? Firstly, our perspectives of UX could change. Right now, visual interfaces on our devices are a key part of the UX world, with voice and gesture recognition being the cool extensions of that. In the future, these features may become central elements in UX. Some physical interfaces in many cases could even disappear! We currently see the smart phones of the future increasing in size. However, with the additional functionality and advancements in voice recognition, we could see a decrease in size as complex navigations are simplified and the need to tap/swipe our phone screen is less as we can just speak to it… Besides Apple has proved with the iWatch that smaller interfaces can be created stylishly and clearly. Gesture movement will also make usability more pleasurable in the future. It will solve simple problems, like when you have something on your hands and can't touch the screen, or if you are wearing gloves - just wave over it and get the desired result. Memorable micro-interactions will be revolutionised as a key part of apps and entertaining and engaging users. Usability can also be shortened by voice recognition, where multiple steps can be reduced to a simply request. In a nutshell it will be slicker, quicker and fun. Cool visualisations, typography, pictorial elements and layout will always be important in UX, however as these displays advance in the future with stuff like Oculus Rift, the Sixth Sense projector and Google Glass- they must work hand-in-hand with gesture and voice recognition to be effective.

Watching this PlayStation ad, it really sunk in for me: it's one thing to hear about the ability to play/stream PlayStation 4 games remotely on your Vita, should you own one. It's another thing entirely to see that feature in action and realize, holy crap, it's like I have a portable PlayStation 4 in my hands.
Oh, there's other stuff in here too—the interface, the sharing, stuff like that. All good features, but personally, none as impressive as remote play. Although it's worth noting that it may not actually work as well as shown here (Stephen notes that remote play on the PS3 wasn't the most reliable thing for him), but hey...one can hope, right?

Indiana workers are the best in the world, and on a level playing field, they can compete with anyone. But years of unfair trade deals have enabled corporations to ship good-paying jobs to foreign countries while flooding American markets with cheap foreign goods. Joe understands that international trade is an integral part of the 21st century economy, and when done right, can ease the burdens on middle class families. First, we need to have the fair trade policies designed to prevent the system from becoming rigged and keep good-paying manufacturing jobs here at home.
Joe believes we must continually ensure our trade deals are helping Hoosier workers, not harming them. Even before he came to Congress, Joe has called for the U.S. to renegotiate NAFTA and spoken out against its expansion. He's demanded that the U.S. Trade Representative investigate China's currency practices under the belief that they manipulate their currency. He's voted against trade deals with South Korea, Colombia, Panama and Peru.
In the Senate, Joe has introduced and fought for the End Outsourcing Act, which ensure that taxpayer dollars are used to support American workers and encourage companies to keep jobs in the U.S. If enacted, companies seeking federal contracts would be penalized if they had shipped jobs overseas, while companies that outsource would forfeit certain tax breaks for outsourcing. Businesses would be encouraged to invest in America instead of overseas with new tax incentives for companies that move foreign jobs back into America's rural and impoverished communities.
Finally, when it has come to helping workers harmed by the effects of international trade, Joe has answered the bell. After Carrier announced they'd lay off over 1,000 workers while shipping manufacturing jobs to Mexico, he spoke out for the laid off workers, standing with them at rallies. He played a crucial role supporting Indianapolis' application for a grant to assist the workers whose jobs were outsourced in finding new jobs.

"Strength. Scope. Power." That's the tagline for one of our landing pages on www.allthingsprofinet.com
Each word summarizes unique benefits of using PROFINET and the differentiating features that support them. Allow me to explain.
First, STRENGTH
When we say "strength" we are talking about the strength of the PROFIBUS and PROFINET technologies and the international PI organization that backs them. Of all fieldbus installations, PROFIBUS is used in 54% of them and PROFINET comes from that same stable, so to speak. PI has cultivated a rich community of vendors (500+ different products for PROFINET alone) and users. Many different vendors have contributed their knowledge and time to build an army of 500 experts in ~50 Working Groups that develop the protocol. All of this comes about because PROFINET is standardized and completely open. Here in North America, we are the responsible association, but there are 26 other associations just like ourselves, scattered about the globe. We summarize it on the landing page as: "PROFINET is the global standard fueling automation innovation."
Second, SCOPE
No, not the mouthwash. Scope in this case means breadth and depth. PROFINET covers the scope of applications required by industrial automation. Starting with simple I/O, all the way to advanced motion control and everything in between, PROFINET does it. Whether that means wireless, or safety, or even energy management (with PROFIenergy), it all falls within the scope. But if that's the depth, then the breadth is integrating horizontally and vertically. Horizontal integration is performed by easily bringing machines into one network. Vertical integration, on the other hand is upwards into MES and office systems but also downwards. To integrate downwards we use PROFINET's unique 'proxy' concept which specifies how data is incorporated from legacy fieldbuses (like PROFIBUS, INTERBUS, etc.) to preserve investments in those existing technologies. Under Scope we say: "A feature rich solution in a single network backbone."
Third, POWER
What isn't talked about enough in my opinion is just how powerful PROFINET is. Many control engineers and plant managers are starting to see the power of an open network that can increase throughput and uptime. With high throughput come high speeds. In addition to the existing IRT (Isochronous Real Time) nature of PROFINET, the latest version supports cycle times down to 31.25µs. This is done through some very novel approaches; see "How Did PROFINET Get a Speed Upgrade," where the included video says it all. Meanwhile uptime is maximized through (among other things) powerful diagnostics. These diagnostics leverage the tools available for Ethernet. And since PROFINET is based on standard Ethernet, the abilities to use these tools convey. This is not a subtle point, because being based on standard Ethernet means that regular traffic (TCP/IP, UDP, etc.) can coexist on the same wire.
In Print
Our efforts are not limited to the digital world however. We've been running a series of promotions in Automation World magazine. Perhaps you've seen them. They feature the 'Strength Scope Power' tagline followed by a user story. Their story highlights what each of these words in the tagline mean to them. Plus, it gives everyone an easy way to relate. What better way than through an independent, first-hand account?

Night Ecstasy By Rebecca York
New Orleans is the perfect place for Londoner Jules
DeMario. It's a city pulsing with every sort of forbidden
pleasure—anything a three-hundred-year-old vampire
desires. Yet each encounter is a pale imitation of the
grand passion he craves. And then he meets artist Taylor
Lawson. Feeling stuck in her work as a painter, Taylor has
come to the French Quarter looking for an escort to show
her the seamy side of New Orleans, something to open her
to new ideas. But it's the aura of danger surrounding
Jules that intrigues her. And as their relationship
becomes more intimate and erotic, it's not just Taylor's
creativity that finds stimulation…
Velvet Night By Rosemary Laurey
Police officer Vickie Anderson has come deep into the
mountains of Virginia looking for a little peace and
solitude. What she gets instead is sexy Pete Falcon. Every
bit of the cop in her says she shouldn't invite the
stranger in. But the woman in her can't help responding to
his black leather jacket, hard body, and almost feral
combination of sex and danger. For Pete, Vickie stirs a
hunger that is beyond anything she can possibly understand—
one he both desires and fears. Keeping Vickie safe from
the threat hiding in the Virginia woods is going to be
tough, but protecting her from his own deepening desires
may be impossible...
Midnight Court By Linda Thomas Sundstrom
A creature of the night, Christopher Dante is as cynical
as he is handsome, and as lustful as any man. He's
accepted an invitation to Lord Rothchilde's infamous
Midnight Court, a secretive gathering of debauchery and
greed. There resides temptation. He has no defenses
against the enchanting, innocent, unearthly beauty of Lord
Rothchilde's future bride, but his jealous former lover,
Elizabeth Rothchilde, will do anything to keep Dante safe
from a fate he cannot foresee. In this Midnight Court,
both Dante and Elizabeth will have to risk their hearts in
order to survive...
Once you get a taste of these bad boys, you'll definitely
come back for more...

text: The standard weak coherent state implementation of quantum cryptography has non-trivial security issues because an eavesdropper can, in principle, suppress single-photon signals relative to multi-photon signals. This leads to fundamental limits to the key generation rate [of order O (\eta2), where \eta is the transmission probability of the channel] and distance of uncondiitonally secure quantum key distribution [of order 20km for Telecom fibers]. Here, we show that the decoy state, first suggested by Hwang, can be used to prove unconditional security in the standard entanglement distillation approach. Our result shows that rather surprisingly, by using only current technology, unconditionally secure quantum key distribution can be achieved with a key generation rate of order O (\eta) and substantially longer distances (more than double). In our method, Alice simply turns the power of her laser up and down and prepares decoy states. The statistical properties of the transmitted decoy states are then analyzed to derive constraints on the signal states.

Exciting news. Thanks to your advocacy, the Massachusetts Senate just overwhelmingly passed the Healthy Youth Act, a commonsense bill ensuring that when students receive sex education in their schools, the curriculum taught is comprehensive, medically-accurate, and inclusive.
Email your state senator and thank them for listening to their constituents and passing the Healthy Youth Act!
The Healthy Youth Act is one of the Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund's top legislative priorities – and a top priority for me personally.
Earlier this year, I testified for the very first time at the Massachusetts State House in support of the bill. I spoke to my experience as a doctor for 20+ years and the countless patients I saw who lacked accurate information about their own sexual health. In many cases, my patients' health problems could have been prevented had they been given the facts and knowledge needed in order to take care of their health. This underscores why we need policies in place like the Healthy Youth Act – and why the Senate's passage of this bill is a step in the right direction.
While we should celebrate our victory today, we're not done yet – not even close. This is the seventh year we've been advocating for this bill. There is no guarantee of a vote in the House of Representatives – so we're going to need to keep advocating for the Healthy Youth Act if we want to see the bill signed into law. Stay tuned for more opportunities to make your voice heard.
In the meantime, make sure your senator knows you appreciate their leadership on behalf of all the Massachusetts youth who deserve access to sex ed that helps them stay safe, healthy, and informed.
Sexual assault and teen dating violence, the rising rates of sexually transmitted infections among young people in the state, and the persisting disparities in unintended pregnancy rates across the Commonwealth, all underscore the urgency of passing the Healthy Youth Act this legislative session.
I won't stop raising my voice and advocating for this bill until it's signed into law. I hope you won't either.
P.S. Don't forget to send your state senator a thank-you note. We need this continued bold leadership in the days, months, and years ahead.
What is The Healthy Youth Act?
An Act Relative to Healthy Youth
Sponsored by Senator Sal DiDomenico and Representatives Jim O'Day and Paul Brodeur
Why We Need the Healthy Youth Act
There is nothing more important than the health and well-being of our youth. We must ensure young people across the state have accurate and age-appropriate information to help them form respectful relationships, develop strong communication skills, and make healthy, informed decisions.
An Act Relative to Healthy Youth ensures that a Massachusetts school electing to teach sex education uses a curriculum that's medically accurate, age-appropriate, and truly comprehensive. A comprehensive sex education curriculum teaches students about the benefits of abstinence and delaying sex, building healthy relationships, consent, gender identity and sexual orientation, effective contraceptive use, and the prevention of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Education programs for young people are effective only when they emphasize the importance of abstinence and delaying sexual activity while also teaching them about safety and the proper use of condoms and other contraceptive methods. Specifically, comprehensive sex education programs have been proven to: (1) delay the initiation of sex; (2) reduce the frequency of sex, the number of partners, and the incidence of unprotected sex; and (3) increase the use of condoms and contraception. Long-term impacts in some programs have alsoincluded lower STI and/or pregnancy rates. In fact, research showsthat providing medically accurate, age-appropriate sex education helps young people stay healthy, which enhances their ability to learn. Such curricula also teaches the relationship and communication skills needed to form healthy, respectful relationships and make healthy decisions. Additionally, LGBTQ-inclusive curricula are associated with higher reported levels of safety and lower reported levels of bullying in school.
While something is better than nothing in many cases, the same is not true of sex education. There is no evidence that demonstrates abstinence-only education delays teen sexual activity. In fact, research shows that abstinence-only strategies are correlated with higher teen pregnancy and birth rates. Currently, when Massachusetts public schools provide their students with health education that covers sexual activity, there is no guarantee that the information provided is age-appropriate or medically accurate. Indeed, there is a host of unproven, medically inaccurate information, including abstinence-only education, being taught in schools across Massachusetts.
In Massachusetts and across the country today, we face a serious public health crisis. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that nearly 20 million new sexually transmitted infections occur every year in this country, with half of those diagnoses among young people aged 15–24. These infections account for almost $16 billion in health care costs and each of these infections is a potential threat to an individual's immediate and long-term health and well-being. In addition to increasing a person's risk for acquiring and transmitting HIV, STIs can lead to chronic pain and severe reproductive health complications. In Massachusetts, gonorrhea rates increased16% from 2013 to 2014 and the total number of reported chlamydia cases increased approximately 66.8% 2005 to 2014. By promoting comprehensive sex education, we can help our young people protect their health and stop this public health crisis in its tracks.
The Role and Rights of Parents
Education extends beyond the classroom and into the home. Parents and caregivers are an important source of information about sexuality and relationships, but many are nervous about talking with their teens about these topics. Parents and schools working in partnership is the best strategy for successfully educating and empowering young people to make healthy decisions.
The majority of parents want such a partnership with their children's schools, as illustrated by the fact that 93% of parents of middle school students and 91% of parents of high school students believe it is very or somewhat important to have sexuality education as part of the school curriculum. The Healthy Youth Act maintains existing state law that allows parents to remove their children from sex education programs, while ensuring students who do receive sex education receive accurate and age-appropriate information from a curriculum supported by peer-reviewed research.
Meeting Basic Standards
This legislation seeks to establish parameters and provide guidance that will make it easier for school districts to empower their students to make healthy decisions. This legislation seeks an appropriate balance between respecting local decision-making authority and addressing a statewide public health problem. To keep communities accountable, the Healthy Youth Act requires comprehensive sex education in schools in cities or towns where the STI rates for adolescents exceed the state average. In some Massachusetts communities, we are failing to give young people the information they need to stay safe and healthy – and that results in serious, lifelong repercussions for our youth.
Who Supports Comprehensive Sex Education?
- Massachusetts voters: A 2016 poll conducted by EMC Research showed overwhelming bi-partisan support for sex education in Massachusetts, with 90% of registered voters agreeing that students should receive sex education in high school and 86% agreeing that sex education should include information about how students can stay healthy should they choose to become sexually active.
- Twenty-seven states, including CA, CO, ME, and WA and the District of Columbia, which have similar laws requiring sex education to be age-appropriate, medically accurate, and to cover abstinence, contraception, and healthy decision making.
- A long list of widely respected national organizations with relevant expertise: The Massachusetts Association of School Committees, The American Medical Association, the American Nurses Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the American Public Health Association, the Institute of Medicine, the Society of Adolescent Medicine, the American Federation of Teachers, the National Education Association, and the National School Boards Association.
In Massachusetts, the Healthy Youth Act is supported by a diverse coalition of educators, researchers, and advocates, including Jane Doe Inc., the, the Massachusetts Alliance on Teen Pregnancy, and GLAD.

Bullying in school has been a problem for as long as schools have been around. Whether we ourselves have been victims of it, or we've seen our friends tormented by angry and misunderstood teens, it is a part of our lives. Written by Jessica Contrera, The Washington Post has recently published an article revealing the story of a girl that was mentally abused & sexually abused by her peers, and her life was almost destroyed. The cellphone she so longed for eventually turned into her biggest nightmare. It all started in seventh grade when Maureen's (whose real name is being hidden) innocent chat with her middle school crush led to not so innocent consequences.
"Maureen had started messaging on Kik with a tall, athletic boy in her class. They weren't officially dating, but they talked every day. For weeks he asked for her picture. When she sent one, he asked for more. She liked him. She believed him when he said he would delete them. By March, the middle school crush had fizzled, but he still had the three photos she sent. One day, another girl in their class saw one of them on his phone. The next day, while Maureen was hiding at home, she says he texted it around the lunch room."
Maureen, who's always been an outsider at school, had to suffer extreme mental abuse after the photos of her naked body (and her childish naivety!) were shown to her peers. Her peers reactions, as it is common for teens, turned into vicious bullying.
"Now, the comments streamed in on her social media accounts, the new outlet for time-honored middle school cruelty.
Go kill yourself."
After the incident, Maureen was shocked and devastated. A "friend" of hers suggested she use a razor because "cutting made him feel better." She even tried to commit suicide by swallowing pills. Fortunately, she survived. In this digital era, it's hard to delete information, embarrassing photos or anything you have "published" online lingers on somewhere, on someone else's phone, computer, tablet. How do we teach our children about proper boundaries with different people in our lives?
"The story hardly ends when punishment is handed out. For every "sexting scandal" reported, an unknown multitude of parents and teens — mostly girls — are just beginning to grasp what it means to live in a world where nothing digital ever truly disappears. What do you do when your 13-year-old takes photos of her body to impress a boy, and now she's crying, stomping up the stairs, slamming her bedroom door screaming, 'You don't understand!'"
What about the boy involved in the scandal, who cause so much trouble? He has been charged with "possession of child pornography, dissemination of obscene materials to minors and enticement of a child under 16." According to state law, the boy, if convicted, might spend time in jail as a sex offender.
In addition, the case showed that Maureen was not the only victim; photos of four of her classmates were also found on the phone of the teenager responsible for the crime.
Talk about turning a problem you can handle, into one you cant!
It might sound ironic, but while the cause of Maureen's problems and past predicament was her cellphone, her iPad helped her build a new life, where she is not the victim but the "queen." In a way, it saved her life.
"In summer, Maureen lives in another world, where there is no boy, no girls who stare at her, no one who can see the thin scar lines on her forearms. It exists on her iPad, in an online gaming community called Minecraft.
She started playing it regularly in the first few weeks of ninth grade, when she realized that even though she was in a new school, the people were the same. To them, she was the same.
But in Minecraft, they call her Queen. And Mom. The game is made up of many tiny worlds where players can unite on teams to build places completely their own."
As it often happens, a coin has two sides. One can be dark and ugly and the other – a safe haven. We can only follow the example of the brave girl who has shared her story. She is a true Olympian.
"The rules of their Minecraft world are that no one is allowed to swear or call anyone names.
'People come there because nobody can get hurt, or you'll get banned," Maureen says.'
If one of her team members gets bullied, it's Maureen who gets to report it."
Maureen made a mistake, as most young people do. She learned and shared her story. She is changing the world by fighting the fears and troubles she once had to endure.
The child who is 'left behind' most is the one who leaves school without transition readiness.
Dr. James Stanfield, Ed.D.

Background: In the low resource settings of a developing country, a conventional Papanicolaou (Pap) test is the mainstay screening system for cervical cancer. In order to counsel women and to organize a public health system for cervical cancer screening by Pap smear examination, it is imperative to know the pattern of premalignant and malignant lesions. This study was undertaken to find out the prevalence of an abnormal Pap smear, in a tertiary hospital of a developing country, and to carry out a clinicopathological and demographical analysis for establishing the pattern of epithelial cell abnormality in a Pap smear. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out in a total of 1699 patients who underwent Pap smear examination. The prevalence of epithelial cell abnormality in the Pap smear was calculated in proportions / percentages. Specimen adequacy and reporting was assessed according to the revised Bethesda system. Results: Among the total of 1699 patients who had their Pap smear done, 139 (8.18%) revealed epithelial cell abnormality. Altogether 26 smears revealed high-grade lesions and malignancy, most of which were found to be in women belonging to the 30 - 39 and ≥ 45 age group. A total of 75 (53.96%) women were in the 20 - 44 age group and 64 (46.04%) were in the ≥ 45 age group. A bimodal age distribution was detected in the epithelial cell abnormality, with the bulk being diagnosed in patients aged 45 or above. Overall one-third of the patients with an abnormal Pap smear result showed healthy cervix in per vaginal examination. Conclusions: A raised prevalence of epithelial cell abnormality reflects the lack of awareness about cervical cancer screening. Women aged 45 or above harbor the bulk of premalignant and malignant lesions in the Pap smear, signifying that these women are among the under users of cytological screening.
Keywords: Cervical cancer, cytology, Papanicolaou smear

December has arrived! You may read those words with excitement as you look forward to holiday traditions, spending time with family and hopefully taking a few days off from work. Or you might read those words with dread, as you worry and stress over the myriad of tasks that still need to be accomplished before the holidays arrive.
No matter which camp you fall into, this issue of West Chester & Liberty Lifestyle has something for you. We've reached out to area experts to get their tips on holiday decorating and entertaining, alongside some beautiful photos to serve as inspiration. We have a review of one of the "hot" tech items this year and a behind-the-scenes look at a Christmas tree farm. If the stress of the holidays is still too overwhelming, our article on destination holidays might inspire you to escape to a relaxing vacation destination this December.
Of course, the holidays are about much more than having a perfectly decorated home and which presents to buy. At the heart of it all, Christmas provides us with a chance to express our gratitude for the blessings we have been given and inspires us to share our time and love with others. The story on Children's Hospital Medical Center reminds us there are ways we can help bring a smile to the face of someone who might not be feeling very joyful this holiday.
This December, even if your tree is crooked and your soufflé goes up in flames, I hope your holidays are a time to come together or reconnect with loved ones, or to reach out to someone in need.
Happy Holidays!

Mesilla Valley's Dog Training & Behavior Expert!
APRIL NASTASI- April has been helping dogs in Southern New Mexico since 2005 after graduating from NMSU with her bachelors in Animal Science. Wanting to stay here in the Mesilla Valley, April went to work for a local pet store as their area trainer. During her work she was not allowed to work with dogs that had bitten a person or a dog & yet half her dogs in class where afraid of either dogs or people. April's long time experience in Equine behavior helped her to figure out what it was that made dogs grumpy & scared. . After a few years with the increasing need of someone to show people how to change their dogs behavior, April opened her own business doing just that. First in 2009 as AJ's Canine Academy and after the split in partnership, April is now helping dogs with manners & obedience with Aprils K911 Academy.
April's program has grown from just obedience classes, including privates, to over nights, daycares & helping the owners gain confidence themselves with the public at our local farmers markets to teach the owners how to interact safely & properly with their dogs while changing their dogs grumpy behaviors. They get hands on experience how to meet & greet people in a safe way that helps the dog gain confidence in meeting both people and animals. The day cares & over nights helps dogs to get a good foundation where they can learn to be dogs, get over their initial fears with calm assertive dogs in her pack which helps dogs to not over react & helps them to grow into confident, calm, reliable family companions.
