Commemorating Karen Lee Hunt and Pan Am 103.
To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.
Thomas Campbell, Scottish Poet
Congratulations, 2019-2020 Remembrance and Lockerbie Scholars!
This site features biographical information on the Karen Lee Hunt, London: 1988, and Reflections pages. For more information about Karen Lee Hunt, including the remarkable story behind Richard Newbegin's "Song for Karen," please visit Karenleehunt.org. The Pan Am Flight 103/Lockerbie Air Disaster Archives at Syracuse University has extensive information on Karen, the other victims, and the legacy of Pan Am 103.
I am always interested in hearing from those who knew Karen or others on the flight. Those willing to share memories or information may contact me at fjordaniv at gmail.com, or by using the site's contact form.
On December 21, 1988, stunned air traffic controllers in Scotland watched in horror as a 747 carrying 259 passengers and crew home for the holidays suddenly blossomed into a fan of debris on their screens. In an act of terrorism predating September 11, 2001 by over a decade, a terrorist bomb destroyed Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland killing all on board and 11 on the ground. Though I didn't know anyone on the flight, I would soon find myself enmeshed in a tragic yet moving story spanning decades. This site is my effort to memorialize Karen Lee Hunt, an intelligent young woman from Webster, New York, to chronicle the powerful effect her life and death had on me, and to record my journey of rediscovery 25 years after the Lockerbie bombing. This is a story of how even the smallest of actions can resonate years later, of how we can find a light in the face of even the deepest darkness, and of how we can wrest a person's memory from the grasps of time and death.
It started on an unremarkable evening in the first hours of winter, midway through my junior year at Nazareth College.
10pm. Honeoye, NY
The screams of a bereaved mother at JFK echoed through my thoughts as I anxiously watched for another breaking report. I'd followed the story since the first news of the 747's crash broke around 4 that afternoon. Tragedies of this sort affected me, but that night's news carried with it a grim fact that elevated my growing sense of unease: there were a number of students from Syracuse University aboard. How many of them would I have known had I attended Syracuse rather than Nazareth? The thought crossed my mind repeatedly all evening. A friend from high school had matriculated at S.U. in 1986, but as I'd just learned, Kym transferred to Geneseo after her freshman year. The chances of knowing someone on the plane were slim. In fact, the chances of even knowing someone who knew the victims was remote.
The latter thought did nothing to assuage my growing discomfort as a tragic cavalcade of sounds and images passed through the television, now a portal to the tragedy unfolding in videos, sound bytes, and snapshots before me. The coverage juxtaposed abstract images of flaming rooftops and dimly lit wreckage with the horrified screams and cries of family members who were forced to confront the possibility that their husbands, wives, parents, or children were dead as they, the bereaved, were suddenly thrown on to the most public of stages.

A flicker of blue and white caught my attention; in the background, a newscaster gravely announced a local connection to the crash in Scotland as a photograph of a striking young woman materialized on the screen before me, her large eyes seemingly peering into my own.
I didn't know her. I'd never seen her before, though she bore a passing resemblance to a high school friend. I had, at that point, no sense of connection to her, no reason to anticipate what would follow in the coming days, no inkling that I was at that very moment being affected by a disaster that had taken place hours earlier in a small town over 3,000 miles away.
7:00pm, GMT 7 Hours Earlier
One of the oldest planes in Pan Am's fleet, N739PA reflected the company's traditions and tribulations in equal measures. The 747 wore Pam Am's distinctive blue and white livery, including the giant roundel on the tail and the plane's name emblazoned under the cockpit. Like most flights, Pan Am 103's name paid homage to the flying boats that once projected the airline's prestige across the globe: Clipper Maid of the Seas.
Extensively refitted the previous year, the 747 now boasted a strengthened floor designed to handle heavy cargo in case the military required more heavy transports, but the overhaul couldn't mask the dated decor and worn materials aboard the aging jetliner. Perhaps the aircraft's 18 years of service and tired interior could be seen as a physical metaphor of the once great airline's gradual slide into decay—the smooth exterior, like the prestigious routes across the Atlantic, was but a facade masking problems often hidden from view.
Though the company had been battered by years of setbacks and losses, the most pressing of these concerns was neither aesthetic nor financial in nature. Passengers booking a flight with Pan Am paid an extra $5 per ticket for the airline's supposedly rigorous security, yet the company's own studies had found serious breaches of protocol. The women and men who boarded the flight in Heathrow had every reason assume that theirs would be a routine flight. No one could have guessed that an unchecked Samsonite suitcase containing a Toshiba radio would pass through Pan Am's enhanced security with nothing more than a cursory pass through a x-ray machine. The device, obsolete even by the standards of the day, couldn't detect the pound of Semtex hidden in the radio.
The passengers that evening were a sundry lot: soldiers returning home from the holidays shared rows with their families. Businessmen and women climbed the spiral staircase to the upper deck or lounged in the Clipper Class seats behind the cockpit. Young couples, eager to vacation in New York or to start new lives in the states, found their seats throughout the jet. Sixty of the passengers were college students returning home from semesters spent abroad abroad. Thirty five of the students were enrolled at Syracuse University, the bulk of whom had spent the semester at S.U.'s center in London, the city from which the aircraft had just departed.
Many of the students were juniors; unsurprisingly, a large number of them were English and theater majors drawn to the mystique and allure of one of the world's cultural capitals. Among them were Miriam Luby Wolfe, an intellectual young woman who filled her journal with thoughts and concerns that closely mirrored my own. Alexander Lowenstein, a 21 year-old English major who shared my fascination with Lord Byron's romanticism, joined his friends in the seats behind the Clipper Class. Brilliant, talented Theodora Cohen planned to launch a new series of student-run theater productions at Syracuse the following spring.

Kenneth John Bissett, a Cornell student who dreamed of becoming a writer, had spent the term studying at Syracuse's London center. He took his seat in the 31st row next to Karen Lee Hunt, a young woman who shared his passion for writing.
Half an hour into the flight, the pilot throttled the engines back. Karen might have glanced out the 747's window for a moment. Outside, thin air swept over the trailing edge of the starboard wing which faded into the vast blackness of the cold night. The darkness obscured the sweeping landscape 6 miles below, hiding the Solway Firth and the Scottish coast from view.
Thousands of feet below, clouds blanketed the plains of Dumfries. It was a damp evening in the pastoral town of Lockerbie.
Sheltered by the warmth and safety of the 747, Karen looked toward the front of the aircraft. Pan Am Flight 103 was tracking northwest; in a matter of minutes, the plane would turn to the west toward JFK international airport. The interior lighting illuminated the light freckles on her nose and the traces of exhaustion on her face.
She and her fellow students had the time of their young lives that fall, and many saw fit to continue the revelries 31,000 feet above Scotland. One of them, Christopher Jones, had implored his girlfriend to join him that evening, telling her, "It's going to be a real party flight." She deferred, but many others were here. Most of them had posed together for a few candid shots before boarding the jet. Quite a few of them smuggled treats purchased at Heathrow's consignment shops aboard.
Karen's mother, father, sister, and boyfriend–who had just purchased a dozen red roses for his sweetheart–would greet her as she debarked her feeder flight around 11:30pm in Rochester, NY. Though Pan Am 103 was scheduled to arrive at JFK at 9:30, the Webster native would have to wait a few more hours for her homecoming. Though she was exhausted by days of finals, Christmas shopping, and packing, her excitement would nevertheless give her enough energy to weather the inevitable barrage of questions before she could finally crawl into her own bed.
With the exception of breaks and weekends, she'd effectively been away from home since the start of her sophomore year. She was returning home a more mature and worldly woman, ready to begin the second half of her junior year in January. First though, she'd have several rare, much-needed weeks with her family.
Hundreds of tons of plane and passengers sliced through the -50 degree air at 500 miles an hour as it crossed the Scottish border just a few miles south of Lockerbie.
Seconds before 7:03pm, the unnatural force in the unchecked Samsonite suitcase opened the fuselage, and the frigid, roaring darkness engulfed the cabin.
11:10pm. Honeoye
At last, I had a name connected to the soulful eyes that seemed to gaze into me an hour ago: Karen Hunt, a 1986 graduate from Webster.
She was my age. A number of my friends were her classmates. If the tragedy remained abstract, it no longer felt distant.
This hit far too close to home.
The article's title carried with it a fleeting sense of hope: "Webster Family Waits for Call." Karen's face, captured in a black and white halftone image, peered out from the front page of the Democrat and Chronicle. We already knew what many of us had known intuitively last night—that there would be few miracles in the aftermath of the Pan Am 103 disaster.
Tucked away on the second pages were the details that would spark an epiphany in the coming hours. Karen was, like myself, an English major with a passion for journalism. While I wallowed through my sophomore year, Karen flew to Chicago to interview magazine editors for a class project. Humbled and impressed by her talent and ambition and saddened by the loss of a gifted and intelligent peer, I resolved to ask my friends about her when classes resumed in January. I was fully prepared to leave it at that, until the early morning hours of December 23, 1988.
Like so many of us who grew up in the 70s, I'd known more than a few friends, neighbors, and classmates who died young. Cancer, suicide, shootings, and accidents claimed the lives of too many of our peers in the 70s and 80s. Each loss affected me, though those effects were naturally shaped by my age and the nature of my relationship with each of those lost. None of it mattered that night.
It started with a waking moment, the memory of the almost unnaturally large soulful eyes staring into me from the television screen, and the lyrics of a melancholy song that worked their way into my thoughts.
Then it struck me without warning, logic, or reprieve. The sense of loss was excruciating and violent in nature. I shook, sobbed, and ached almost uncontrollably. It felt as if something had been ripped from my life.
It felt like I had lost a friend. It felt like I had lost my best friend.
The bombing of Pan Am 103 haunted my dreams in the ensuing months, and I struggled to articulate the inchoate sense of anguish I felt in the aftermath of Karen Hunt's death. The ethos of the time was such that even the families and friends of those lost were chided for their grief, and I soon learned the wisdom of internalizing my feelings. After all, what gave me the right to mourn the death of someone I never knew? The guilt born of these emotions was matched only by the guilt that stemmed from my inability to help Karen's family in any meaningful way. As much as anything, I felt isolated and perhaps a bit freakish for feeling as I did. One simply didn't discuss these feelings publicly or even privately in the 1980s.
As the semester progressed, I resolved to put Karen's death behind me once and for all. Though I would never forget her or consign the memories of those lost on Pan Am 103 to oblivion, the gnawing sense of loss and frustration, the guilt, and the endless stream of nightmares were simply too much to bear. On April 21, 1989, 4 months to the hour after Karen's life ended in Lockerbie, I visited her grave to pay homage to her and to bring this unsettling chapter of my life to a definitive close.
The visit did in fact partially close that chapter of my life, but in a way I had never foreseen. I entered Webster Union Cemetery with the hope of ending a story; I left with the uncanny feeling that somehow, in some way, I had been touched by and drawn further into the very narrative I was so desperate to escape.
Inspired by the visit, I penned my first poem several days later. For the first time, I was able to focus and express my emotions in a cohesive and satisfying way. In a matter of minutes, Karen Hunt was no longer a tragic figure haunting the periphery of my consciousness; rather, her life had become a source of inspiration. Though I was still haunted by the lingering sense of tragedy, I also left Webster Union Cemetery with a newly discovered sense of agency that would have unforeseeable repercussions in the immediate future—and decades later.
In the April of 1990, Karen's father published a letter in the D&C in which he expressed his frustration at the singular lack of reaction to what was then the worst terrorist attack against U.S. citizens in history. The letter finally spurred me to action, and I mailed a poem expressing similar sentiments the following day. The poem was rough, graphic, and blunt, a representation of the anger many felt at the time and the product of my still limited skills, but I thought it appropriate that I would finally be able to share a poem with the family of the woman who had inspired me to take up poetry.
As the years passed, my visits to Karen's grave grew less frequent until, in the early days of 1996, when they ceased entirely. Though I would follow the criminal and civil cases and December 21 remained a melancholic day for me, it seemed as if the voices of Lockerbie had finally been stilled.
It would take nearly 2 decades for me to understand just how wrong I was.
Almost 25 years had passed since the bombing of Pan Am 103 when I approached the computer to fritter away some time before class. Thoughts of Lockerbie rarely crossed my mind anymore, yet I felt compelled to do a search for Karen Hunt nonetheless. I had long ago given up any hope of learning more about the enigmatic woman whose death had affected me so deeply in my early 20s, a woman whose life was, for me, constrained to a few descriptions related by mutual friends, a scattering of newspaper articles, and a number of memories which remained remarkably sharp decades later. Dave Kaspersin, a Rochester native, created a website in the 1990s, though such was my distance from the tragedy that I failed to fully parse the material he posted, thus missing a story with some remarkable similarities to my own.
Robyn Hunt-Barry's video tribute to her sister, posted days before my casual search, resurrected long-dormant emotions. I'd once thought the passage of time had blunted the emotions and silenced the echoes of the long distant tragedy and the ensuing days, months, and years. Encapsulated, buried, and now recovered, they burst forth poignantly as family photos chronicled Karen Lee Hunt's growth from infancy to adulthood. I'd seen more of her in 7 minutes than I had in nearly a quarter of a century.
A wealth of material simultaneously appeared on Syracuse University's Pan Am Flight 103 Lockerbie Air Disaster Archives. For the first time I was confronted with the possibility that I might be able to learn who Karen was as a person; perhaps by learning about her, I could finally understand the events of the year following the Pan Am 103 disaster.
Then I remembered the poem, a copy of which sat, unread for 23 years, in a folder in the basement. Written less than a year after my first, the poem was the product of—and appropriate for—the years immediately following the bombing. Horrified by the graphic content, I realized that I might have offended the family of the one who inspired me to take up poetry in 1989. My reaction clouded the work's historical context; the frustration, the resistance to the investigation, the public castigation of grieving relatives, all of this slipped my mind that moment.
The following month, I found a number of newsletters published by Victims of Pan Am Flight 103 in the archives at Syracuse University. A few dated back to 1989 and 1990, the organization's first year of existence.
I left Karen's grave in 1989 with an uncanny sense that I had been drawn into something larger than myself, as if part of something unseen and indescribable departed with me. It would take 24 years for me to discover just how true this was.
There in the pages of VPAF's June 1990 newsletter was the poem I had sent to the Hunts decades ago. I had visited the Archives' website to learn more about Karen's history; in doing so, I'd stumbled across a small but important piece of my own, a work shared with Karen's family, now flung 23 years to the present as a reminder of how I had indeed been pulled into Karen's story—and as an invitation back to it.
Remembering Karen Lee Hunt
This site's evolution matches the protean nature of my experiences with Karen's legacy, with the exception of one constant: to honor Karen Lee Hunt and others who lost their lives aboard Pan Am 103.
In its first incarnation, Roses for Karen (I abandoned this title due to its similarity to a Faulkner short story) was an introspective biographical exploration of the events in my junior year that might have laid the foundation for the powerful series of experiences in 1988 and 1989. From there, I followed the path through 2013, concluding with my first visit to Webster Union Cemetery in over 17 years. The visit seemed like a fitting bookend to a story 25 years in the making, though it would only represent the project's conclusion, rather than a second attempt to walk away from the memories of December 21, 1988.
The visit was almost as powerful as the first, precipitating a trip to Syracuse University's Remembrance Week, a visit to the archives, and a growing sense that there was much more to be written. That December, we returned to Syracuse University where my wife and I attended a memorial service commemorating the 25th anniversary of the bombing of Pan Am 103. We traveled to Webster a week later, where we had the opportunity to spend several hours with Bob and Peggy Hunt, Karen's parents.
Perhaps even more so than in 1988, I found myself caught up in a remarkable, tragic, yet inspiring narrative. My attempts to understand the power of Karen's life and death through the lens of my biography suddenly seemed trite, unsatisfying, and ultimately unsuccessful in light of my recent experiences. The following spring saw extensive revisions that centered more around Karen's biography, her experiences in London, and on my reactions to the events of 1988, 1989, and 2013.
This site continues to evolve with the addition of new material, photographs, and a broader focus on the larger historical events that shaped us all.
Though I have purposefully avoided specific details, the Pan Am 103 page contains a detailed description of the immediate aftermath of the explosion as well as the locations where a number of passengers were found and the reactions of a number of friends and relatives in the hours following the bombing. I included these details to provide those who are unfamiliar with the events of December 21, 1988 with an account of the bombing and its effects on those closest to the passengers. I've often grappled with the need to balance storytelling and history with sensitivity to the relatives and friends of those lost; indeed, I've seriously questioned the nature and scope of this project on many occasions. Nonetheless, I believe that the account is a necessary part of the story.
There was something deeply unsettling about the national reaction to the bombing and the plight of those who had lost loved ones. September 11 profoundly changed the way we view terrorism and the grief produced by the most public of tragedies. For many reasons, Pan Am 103 was different. Outside of Syracuse, New York City, Long Island, New jersey, and the other locations hardest hit by the attack, the bombing slipped from the news cycle with a disconcerting rapidity.
One of the great paradoxes of the digital age is that while we have immediate access to the bulk of history and material, the events and those who lived through them that predate the internet even by a few years are often obscured by a digital divide. While we can never truly resurrect those lost on Pan Am 103, we can celebrate them, remember them, and do our best to ensure that others will do the same decades from now. In the words of Daniel Cohen, Theodora Cohen's father, "If someone remembers your name, you're not truly dead."
I was never fortunate enough to meet Karen Lee Hunt; there is little I can do to comfort those who continue to feel her loss to this day, but in creating this site, I hope that I can keep the memory of the kind young woman with the enormous, haunting brown eyes alive.
Thank you for the inspiration, Karen. I wish we could have met.
Acknowledgements & Dedication
The bulk of the material for this site is drawn from memories, newspaper clippings, books, letters, and interviews. I'd like to thank and acknowledge those who have contributed directly or indirectly to this project, which has grown exponentially from its inception in 2013.
Thank you to those who have shared their memories and experiences with Karen's story; it's heartening to know that others were deeply affected by her life and death, including many who never met her.
Thank you Richard Newbegin for writing the beautiful "Song for Karen," and David Kaspersin for sharing Richard's story. Your inspiration informed this site, led me back to Karen's story, and reminded me that words can carry with them the power to transcend death.
Ed Galvin, Cara Howe, and Vanessa St. Oegger-Menn, thank you for keeping alive the memories of those lost on Pan Am 103 through your work at Syracuse University's Pan Am Flight 103 Air Disaster Archives. Many of the photos on this site are used with permission from the archives. Cara, you displayed the patience of a saint when you dealt with my requests.
Bob, Peggy, and Robyn, I wish we could have met sooner and under different circumstances, but Traci and I are happy to know you. This site was made possible with your generosity and kindness long before we finally met. Karen's light and beauty shines in each of you, and your beauty shined within her. Thank you for sharing so much with us. I dedicate this site to you, to Karen, and to the memory of all those affected by Pan Am Flight 103.
Days before boarding Pan Am 103, Karen wrote the following excerpt of Theodore Roethke's "The Waking" in her journal. The lines express Karen's optimism. It seems only fitting to include it here:
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I have to go.
vareun says:
Really heart melting story . I felt extremely sorry for the victims of Pan am 103.
That's really beautiful. I flew to France on a vacation shortly after this tragedy and I remember how hectic the airport security was. I never forgot about Pan Am Flight 103. It's just as tragic as 9/11/01 and any other senseless violence. I hope Karen's family as well as the other victims' families have found peace over the years. Living on after a loss so tragic shows an amazing amount of strength. I can't even fathom being able to handle losing a loved one like this. Those people are my heroes.
Elizabeth Croxton says:
Hello, this is beautifully written. I was one of Karen's roommates and closest friends in London and a close confidant.
Jeff Pittrof says:
If you had the honor of knowing Karen you would have known one of the most kind hearted, caring, & generous souls. She saw the "Good" in everyone, I'm honored that I was able to call her my friend.
FABRICIO ROCKENBACH says:
Simply: I'm sorry. She was a Angel…Sorry…sorry…sorry… no more words.
Maria Lembregts-Aeschlimann says:
I am very sorry about Karen and all the other lives lost that terrible day which affected so many people's lives. I clearly remember the news coming over the radio that afternoon here in Belgium, while I was attending to my then 2 month-old son. I have never forgotten the terrible scenes from Lockerbie and later read some of the books written by family members of the victims. My heart goes out to all of you. We will never forget.

About the Human Rights Violators & War Crimes Center
Human Rights Violators and War Crimes
The protection of fundamental human rights remains among the cornerstones of American democracy. Throughout its history, the United States has sought to uphold the noble ideals upon which it was founded: liberty, democracy, and the basic dignity of all people.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) contributes to this enduring national commitment by holding to account war criminals, human rights abusers, and persecutors. ICE tirelessly seeks out such individuals who may be hiding within our borders and utilizes its broad investigative powers to arrest, charge, and remove such offenders from our shores. This ongoing effort sends a singular message: The United States will not serve as a safe haven for war criminals and human rights abusers and they must never escape justice and accountability.
Secret lives uncovered: Identifying perpetrators of genocide, war crimes and human rights abuses
On February 21, 2021, ICE removed a 95-year-old former Nazi concentration camp guard to Germany—one of the last fugitive Nazis who will have been removed from the United States. Friedrich Karl Berger, a German citizen, participated in Nazi-sponsored persecution while serving in 1945 as an armed guard at the Neuengamme Concentration Camp system (Neuengamme). Berger's arrest and removal reinforces ICE's ongoing efforts in support of human rights. It also serves as a stark reminder that the fight against atrocities such as those committed during World War II must never end.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights celebrates the proposition that freedom, justice, and peace in the world are fundamental rights and that all individuals are entitled to equality. With that in mind, ICE aims to:
Prevent the admission of foreign war crime suspects, persecutors, and human rights abusers into the United States.
Identify and prosecute individuals who have been involved in and/or responsible for the commission of human rights abuses across the globe.
Remove offenders located in the United States.
Oversee the development of investigative programs to prevent mass atrocities and hold accountable those perpetrators responsible for genocide and other gross human rights violations.
Currently, Homeland Security Investigations, which leads ICE's criminal investigative efforts, has more than 180 active investigations into suspected human rights violators and is pursuing more than 1,700 leads and removals cases involving suspected human rights violators from 95 different countries. Since 2003, the Human Rights Violators & War Crimes Center (HRVWCC) has issued more than 78,000 lookouts for individuals from more than 110 countries and stopped over 350 human rights violators and war crimes suspects from entering the U.S.

Since 2003, ICE has brought more than 469 individuals to justice for human rights-related violations of the law under various criminal and/or immigration statutes. During that same period, ICE obtained deportation orders against and physically removed 1,085 known or suspected human rights violators from the United States. Additionally, ICE has facilitated the departure of an additional 181 such individuals from the U.S.

The only thing that is certain in this life is uncertainty. Growing up in Indonesia, the cliché is nothing short of the truth. People deal with ketidakpastian every minute of their lives. It has become the norm.
When I was living in Jakarta, Indonesia, my morning always started with worrying if the bus would arrive on time, and when the bus arrived, I had to worry about getting a seat or if I could squeeze myself in. All this is due to the inability to schedule public transportation properly. Once I managed to get on the bus, I would still worry about reaching the office on time as a result of a traffic jam. Say hello to ketidakpastian in traffic. After eight hours of working, I again had to worry about whether I could make it to that dinner with a friend already postponed three times since my boss might ask me to work overtime that day. Planning a vacation with the whole family was trickier than launching a Tesla into space since there was always somebody's boss who wouldn't allow that poor person to use their vacation days. There are a lot of ketidakpastian in Indonesia's employment rules as well, yet one thing is certain, you just don't say no to your boss.
Then there is also ketidakpastian in more fundamental things such as the law, which makes people vigilant. When law enforcement is nonexistent, people feel the urge to take the law into their own hands. Another big ketidakpastian comes from employment. Not only due to the high unemployment rate, but also the global phenomenon of a "gig economy" where people work without a permanent contract, from project to project, without fringe benefits. And since health insurance is not mandatory in Indonesia, should you ever need medical treatment, you will only get what you can pay for. Which means, just don't get sick if you (literally) can't afford it.
It was a totally different world when I moved to the Netherlands many moons ago. Compared to Indonesia, a lot of things were and are more certain here. Just like in most western European countries. The public transportation schedule is dependable; there is always space for people on the train (unless it is rush hour) and when I want to use up my vacation days I just have to let my superior know in advance. People arrange meetings down to the minute because they are certain that everybody will be on time. You don't have to worry about not being able to hit the gym after work because your workload is calculated scrupulously, and systematic overtime is unheard of. People even know what they will do on a Friday four weeks from now! That is how certain Dutch people are about their lives.
But things are changing. Rather rapidly. Until a few years ago, crucial things such as retirement and health care were very solid in this country, for example, but people in the Netherlands are facing more onzekerheden these days. Constantly changing political agreements and austerity have caused people to walk around wondering: How can my children secure a mortgage if nobody gives them a permanent contract? Can I still count on my pension? How much more will it be reduced by the government? When will I retire or will I ever be able to retire? And although not many will admit it openly: What is going to happen to this country if the number of migrating Muslims continues to rise?
Despite all the good reports and studies, people are feeling really insecure. More and more people in the Netherlands are experiencing personally the onzekerheid of the economy, the influence of global problems on their country, and (though to a less significant extent) the arrival of migrants.
Take pensions for example. Ongoing revisions to the system, which was once considered one of the best in the world, are now becoming the root of onzekerheden. People are forced to live with the idea that there is no such thing as a "certain pension" anymore. The repeatedly changing age of retirement gives people a headache just thinking about when they can retire, or if they ever can.
As for healthcare, in the Netherlands it is funded through taxation: mandatory health insurance contributions and taxation of income. To be fair, health care in the Netherlands is one of the last sectors to be affected by budget cuts. Nevertheless, the onzekerheid in the economy has pushed politicians and policymakers to reconsider factors such as the affordability of health care and the generosity of benefits packages.
The discussion about migrant policy is another source of onzekerheid. How many asylum seekers will be allowed to enter the country? What should be the reasons for granting a permit to stay? For how long? And what are their rights exactly? If someone stays "illegally" while waiting for their permit, are people allowed to shelter them? All of these questions make people feel onzeker, due to not only humanitarian reasons, but also the sharing of (already limited) resources.
Returning to the situation in Indonesia, except if you are a public servant, you won't get any pension unless you take care of it yourself. The same thing with health care, as there is no such thing as universal health care; the medical treatment you get is certainly the result of your own insurance.
It is funny when I think about it. I left the land of ketidakpastian to find out that the land of certainty is inevitably embracing onzekerheden. I guess the cliché is true then: the only thing that is certain in this life is uncertainty.

'Don't lean in' man identifies newest threat to masculinity: crotch pointing
For something that's supposedly so strong, masculinity is also surprisingly easy to break, at least according to a certain subset on the web. The latest threat to patriarchal dominance and the marital stability of alpha men? The relative direction of their crotches in photographs.
Discovered by opinionated Twitter man @Rivelino, it turns out that the crotch direction is of the utmost importance; a woman's pelvis must face her man at all times in photos, while a man's crotch must never face his woman, instead his cock must face the world because "This is correct."
Though @Rivelino offers no explanation as to why the different crotch directions are the way they are, he has plenty of other thoughts on angles that he's happily shared with the internet.
The original source of his fame, which he's been posting about since May, is the dire threat to marriage posed by men leaning towards their partners. As Mel Magazine reported at the time, "His theory holds that dudes leaning toward their significant others have compromised their integrity by realigning to a woman's worldview." That theory was then turned into a meme.
According to this master of masculinity, these men don't do it because they're taller, or because they love their partners. Instead, it's because of "psychological inferiority or worse, emotional neediness." All of which will drive your woman away, so watch out!

— N.W. (@molten_tofu) December 11, 2020
It's not just heterosexual relations where this comes into play, either! Men better not lean towards each other either, that displays weakness which leads to bands breaking up.
Honestly there's just a plethora of weird shit on @rivolina's Twitter if you're ready to do a deep dive, including the apparently compulsory obsession with feet all of these guys seem to have. So much so that some people are wondering if this is actually satire, or simply a cynical attempt to capitalize off of incels by selling a lot of weird merchandise.
However, so far, @rivolino seems to be entirely serious about his angles, and all the other strange dominance games he advises men to play with women, and each other. It may seem strange that something they claim is innate to human nature and human relationships needs so many rules and so much reinforcement, but that's just life in the manosphere.

JUNE PRODUCTION OF HYDROPOWER PLANTS OF THE HSE GROUP IS ALREADY 23 PERCENT ABOVE THE PLAN
Media centre / Press releases / JUNE PRODUCTION OF HYDROPOWER PLANTS OF THE HSE GROUP IS ALREADY 23 PERCENT ABOVE THE PLAN
By 21 June, the Holding of Slovenske elektrarne (HSE) hydroelectric power plants had already exceeded the monthly production plan by as much as 23 percent. Dravske elektrarne Maribor (DEM) produced 286 GWh of electricity and exceeded the plan by 30 percent, while Soške elektrarne Nova Gorica (SENG) exceeded the plan by 54 percent with 54 GWh of electricity produced. The hydroelectric power plants Spodnja Sava (HESS), in which HSE has a 49% share, produced 18 GWh of electricity (49%) in June, which is 24% more than planned.
In total, the HSE hydropower plants produced 2,196 GWh of electricity in the period January – June 2021. This is 23 percent more than planned and 30 percent more electricity produced than in the same period last year.
The production records set by the HSE Group, related to favourable hydrology, have therefore been continuing for more than half a year. In the future, due to high temperatures, we can expect slightly lower production by the hydroelectric power plants of the HSE Group, which we have also accounted for in our plans.
"The snow cover in the highlands has been rapidly thinning due to high temperatures in the last week, which will soon affect the hydrology as well. The July decline in hydro production has already been taken into account in the hydro production plans, but we nevertheless estimate that it will still be higher," explained Matjaž Eberlinc PhD, Executive Production Director of HSE. Such trends are typical of summer days, during which the HSE Group has been successfully replacing the shortage of hydro work with other production units for all these years.
Holding Slovenske elektrarne is the largest producer of electricity from renewable sources in Slovenia: in 2020 we produced almost 90 percent of all electricity from renewable sources in Slovenia. All our plans are also aimed at expanding the range of projects that will be crucial in the transition to a carbon-free society. At the beginning of July, we will lay the foundation stone for the largest solar power plant in Slovenia, SE Prapretno, which will stand in a degraded area in the municipality of Hrastnik and is expected to deliver the first energy to the system before the end of this year. The Prapretno project is only the first step of the HSE Group in the area of solar electricity production as a renewable source. We have also obtained a building permit for new production facilities in the Zlatoličje area.

A: In both fragments, you are inflating an 'id':
return inflater.inflate(R.id.fragment_a,container, false);
return inflater.inflate(R.id.fragment_b,container, false);

but you need tu inflate the layout:
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_a,container, false);
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_b,container, false);

A: Initialize this in fragment class in each
View rootView;

On create
  @Override
 public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    rootView= inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_a, container, false);

  btn=(Button)rootView.findViewById(R.id.button1);

 // do for all like that
  return rootView;
 }

A: The layout is not an ID, use the following in your onCreateView() of both your fragments. You need to inflate the layout
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_a,container, false);
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_b,container, false);

Boost Network Library Query
Boost (www.boost.org) has recently accepted the asio asynchronous I/O library, and there are plans to morph this library into a full-fledged networking library. Because the C++ committee [N1810] has specifically identified networking as an area of interest, part of the development process could be to prepare a TR2 proposal for the library.
The purpose of this query is threefold:
To determine interest in such a formal proposal for TR2.
To determine areas of concern about such a proposal.
To set up a channel for obtaining regular feedback from LWG members.
To give some idea of the flavour of the asio library, consider the following sample code. This is part of a server program that echoes characters it receives back to the client in upper case:
void uppercase(Iterator begin, Iterator end)
std::locale loc("");
for (Iterator iter = begin; iter != end; ++iter)
*iter = std::toupper(*iter, loc);
void do_sync(
asio::ip::tcp::socket& socket,
std::vector<char>& buffer_space)
for (;;)
std::size_t count = socket.read_some(asio::buffer(buffer_space));
uppercase(buffer_space.begin(), buffer_space.begin() + count);
asio::write(socket, asio::buffer(buffer_space, count));
catch (asio::error& e)
The synchronous approach used above is straightforward to understand and easy for programmers at any level of ability to write.
Next, the equivalent code developed using asynchronous operations:
void do_async(
socket.async_read_some(asio::buffer(buffer_space),
boost::bind(handle_read, _1, _2,
boost::ref(socket), boost::ref(buffer_space)));
void handle_read(
const asio::error& e,
std::size_t count,
if (!e)
asio::async_write(socket, asio::buffer(buffer_space, count),
boost::bind(handle_write, _1,
void handle_write(
This code may appear more complex due to the inverted flow of control, but it allows a knowledgeable programmer to write code that will scale to a great many concurrent connections. The synchronous code requires one thread for each connection, and on most platforms threads are a limited resource. The asynchronous approach offered by asio has been exercised in production HTTP servers to thousands of concurrent connections, and similar echo servers have been tested to tens of thousands, while using only one thread.
Motivation and Scope
What kinds of problems will it address?
The problem areas addressed by this library include:
Networking using TCP and UDP, including support for multicast.
Client and server applications.
Scalability to handle many concurrent connections.
Protocol independence between IPv4 and IPv6.
Name resolution (i.e. DNS).
Timers.
What are some problems it won't address?
Problems that are considered outside the scope of the proposal include:
Protocol implementations such as HTTP, SMTP or FTP.
Encryption (e.g. SSL, TLS).
Operating system specific demultiplexing APIs.
Support for realtime environments.
QoS-enabled sockets.
Other TCP/IP protocols such as ICMP.
What kinds of programmers is it intended to support? Novice? Everyday? Experts?
The bulk of the library interface is intended for use by developers with at least some understanding of networking concepts (or a willingness to learn). A high level iostreams interface supports simple use cases and permits novices to develop network code without needing to get into too much depth.
Is it based on existing practice?
The asio library, from which this proposal is derived, has been deployed in a number of production systems, such as internet-facing HTTP servers, instant messaging gateways and finance applications.
The interface is based on the BSD sockets API, which is widely implemented and supported by extensive literature. It is also used as the basis of networking APIs in other languages (e.g. Java). Unsafe practices of the BSD sockets API, e.g. lack of compile-time type safety, are not included.
Asynchronous support is derived from the Proactor design pattern as implemented by the ADAPTIVE Communication Environment [ACE], and is influenced by the design of the Symbian C++ sockets API [Symbian], which supports synchronous and asynchronous operations side-by-side.
Is there a reference implementation?
The proposal will be based on the Boost.Asio library (asio.sourceforge.net).
What platforms are currently supported?
The asio library currently supports the following platforms and compilers:
Win32 using Visual C++ 7.1 and Visual C++ 8.0.
Win32 using Borland C++Builder 6 patch 4.
Win32 using MinGW.
Linux (2.4 or 2.6 kernels) using g++ 3.3 or later.
Solaris using g++ 3.3 or later.
Mac OS X 10.4 using g++ 3.3 or later.
What platforms or environments are likely to be difficult or impossible to support?
The library would not support platforms where native networking facilities are unavailable. The library is not intended to support platforms without native TCP/IP networking, although one could imagine a user-mode TCP/IP stack as part of an implementation of the library.
Impact On the Standard
What does it depend on, and what depends on it?
Minor parts of this library proposal depend on the TR1 library extensions for Enhanced Binders (N1455) and Fixed Size Array Wrapper (N1479). It also depends on the proposed Date-Time library extension (N1900).
This proposal does not require, and would not be coupled to, hypothetical standard library support for threading. The interface is intended to support implementations on platforms where threads are not available. However, it is designed to allow the effective utilisation of threading if available, and its behaviour with respect to threads is clearly defined.
Is it a pure extension, or does it require changes to standard components?
This is a pure library proposal. It does not add any new language features, nor does it alter any existing standard library headers.
Can it be implemented using today's compilers, or does it require language features that will only be available as part of C++0x?
This library can be implemented using compilers that conform to the C++03 standard. An implementation of this library requires operating system-specific functions that lie outside the C++03 standard.
Design Decisions
Will it support both synchronous and asynchronous networking?
Asynchronous support is particularly important because it allows applications to leverage concurrency without threading.
The library offers side-by-side support for synchronous and asynchronous operations. These operations may be composed in a logically similar way to create higher levels of abstraction (e.g. an HTTP library) that offer both synchronous and asynchronous support.
What protocols will it support?
At a minimum, TCP and UDP for both IP versions 4 and 6. It will enable the development of protocol independent applications, in that the decision to use IPv4 or IPv6 can be deferred until runtime.
Does it take advantage of operating system specific APIs and other features?
The library interface does not include operating system specific APIs. The interface is designed to allow flexibility of implementation, so that operating system specific APIs may be used internally to deliver optimal outcomes in performance and scalability. The interface also permits implementation-specific extensions (e.g. support for UNIX domain sockets) in a manner that is consistent with the standard functionality.
Does is support both client-side and server-side applications?
Is it modern C++? Does it play well with the standard library?
The library aims to reduce sources of error by using approaches such as RAII and exception handling as a default error mechanism. The asynchronous interface is based around function objects as callbacks, and is typically used in conjunction with an implementation of Enhanced Binders (N1455).
Is it layered into low-level, mid-level, and high-level components?
The primary focus of the library is on a lower level interface, based on the BSD sockets API, that is aimed at experienced and expert developers. For flexibility and maximum utility, it is specified at the lowest level of abstraction that allows efficient implementation of both synchronous and asynchronous operations on major platforms. This interface can be used to develop other libraries at higher levels of abstraction.
Additionally, an iostreams interface is layered on top of the lower level interface. It is intended for simple use cases and novice developers.
If there are any similar libraries in use, how do their design decisions compare?
Unlike ACE, this library chooses not to expose the mechanism by which asynchronous operations are initiated. Furthermore, ACE does not guarantee that asynchronous operations will be available on a particular platform, whereas this proposed library does (the reference implementation demonstrates that asynchronous I/O can be efficiently emulated when native support is unavailable).
Like Symbian, the interface does not provide reactive I/O.
Feedback channel
It would be helpful to the developer to be able to obtain email feedback from the LWG from time to time. Would the LWG prefer use of the regular library reflector, a separate mailing list (perhaps hosted by Boost), or some other solution?

StrandVision Debuts Employee Communication Digital Signage Screen Saver
Presents dynamic digital signage content on employees' personal computers to enhance employee communication…
MENOMONIE, Wis. - Oct. 25, 2011 - StrandVision Digital Signage today unveiled a new screen saver capability for StrandVision Digital Signage networks that extends companies' signage networks to employees' desktops to further reinforce employee communication messaging.
Designed to bring corporate announcements directly to employees, it is ideal for human resources communications of employee benefits, reinforcement of corporate goals/missions, general business marketing, news and events or special announcements, such as weather-related bulletins. Compatible with Microsoft Windows operating systems, the screen saver application plays the same content that streams over customers' StrandVision Digital Signage network on digital signage player screens throughout a facility and internal and external websites.
"This is a powerful and efficient way to consistently communicate with employees and visitors," commented Mike Strand StrandVision founder and CEO. "The StrandVision Digital Signage Screen Saver enables companies to get the most out of their digital signage networks by utilizing existing equipment that is temporarily inactive. We've designed a system that fits with corporate networking and computer management protocols while substantially extending the reach of the digital signage network for employee communication and business marketing opportunities."
The application can be distributed in the same manner that other standard corporate applications are deployed. Once installed on an employee's personal computer, the application becomes a dropdown selection in the Screen Saver Settings dialog and works the same way as any other screen saver.
StrandVision Digital Signage Screen Saver content is distributed over companies' standard computer networks. A StrandVision preconfigured, on-premise server or Linux signage player is required for installations of more than 10 computers, which reduces subscription costs and network traffic while increasing efficiency. Pricing starts at $499 per year and goes as low as $.17 per desktop per month for larger installations. The StrandVision Digital Signage Screen Saver is available immediately from StrandVision and through authorized resellers.

Dissaltakfossen is a nice waterfall in the north of Norway, near the border with Finland. The waterfall is located at the end of the Reisadalen in the region Troms. Best (and easiest) way to visit Dissaltakfossen is by boat.
From Storslett (road E6) take the exit to the Reisadalen. Follow the road for 46 kilometer until you end in Bilto or a little further at Saraelv.
In summertime there are regular riverboat trips, taking you to Mollisfossen, passing Dissaltakfossen. There are three companies offering boat tours. Prices are about the same but Svartfoss is the most customer friendly. They respond very quick on emails and the guides are very helpful and friendly. A boat tour to Mollisfossen costs NOK 950 per person (with a minimum of NOK 2.950) and takes about 4 hour. This is quite expensive but I am glad we did the tour. It is possible to hike to the Dissaltakfossen (one way 2,5-3 hour) or to Mollisfossen (one way 5 hour). On the south side of the river Reisaelva there is a trail.
Dissaltakfossen has a single drop of approximately 20 meter but has a total height of 62 meter. Disslatakfossen is located in a tribute river of Reisaelva, in a gorgeous surrounding. Especially when approaching the waterfall you can see a colorful rock formation aside of the waterfall.
Although most of the Reisadalen is a national park, there are permits for fishing: if you like fishing, the Reisaelva is famous because of the big salmon swimming in the river.
Upstream you can find two other gorgeous waterfalls, the huge Mollisfossen and the picturesque Imofossen (Imogorzi) but you have to take another kind of tour/boat trip to see this one.
Best time to visit the Reisadalen is June when snow melts from the mountains and there is a lot of water in the river. When we where in the Reisadalen, August 2018, level of the river was low and the boat sometimes had trouble to find its way. Our guide Tom knew exactly how to navigate the boat. Nevertheless there was enough water in the waterfalls we saw.
At the coast the sun was shining but after 15 minutes in the boat heaven was coming down (heavy shower). Strange thing it was that at Mollisfossen the sky was clear. It happens oft that there is a big difference in the weather between the coast and the inland.


You Are Here: Home News > Flu Shots During Pregnancy?
Should you get a flu shot while you're pregnant?
What do you think about having the flu shot during your pregnancy?
The physicians at Upstate OB-GYN Group highly recommend that expectant moms have the flu shot because it protects her while she's pregnant, but it actually protects her newborn in their first months of his or her life.
We find that lots of moms-to-be are hesitant about any medications while they're carrying a baby, even vaccinations. The most useful and relevant advice comes from organizations like ACOG (American College of Obstetrics & Gynecology) as well other women who've had to make this decision for themselves and their babies. We find that the advice from other moms is often of most interest.


There's no question that survivor metal is commanding more and more respect. Nearly every major car club has a survivor category, and the prices of credible survivors continue to climb. That's an understandable trend, considering anyone can restore a car but the factory only bolts it together once. This 2,171-mile Merc is a mostly-original survivor in the best of ways! Not only is it a numbers-matching example of one of the coolest pony cars to ever leave Detroit, it's also an ultra-clean, virtually untouched classic that's loaded with a roster of desirable features. Looking for some unique muscle to bolster your collection? Here's your documented ticket to a glorious, octane-fueled past!
Slotted between the raucous Ford Mustang and refined Ford Thunderbird, the first-generation of Mercury's Cougar provided buyers an urbane ownership experience thanks to heavy European influence. Over the last 50 years, this Cougar's solid and stately body has been carefully protected from Mother Nature's worst temper tantrums. That body's paint is far better than you'd expect from five decades-exposed pigment, reflecting a silky Grecian Gold sheen that's spiced with a lot of character. Black pinstriping and a tight vinyl roof highlight original brightwork. And today, this Merc rolls as an impressive piece of storied Dearborn history that's guaranteed to win fans and start conversations!
Focused more on luxury than performance, the Cougar was at the forefront of the Personal Luxury Coupe movement that defined a large part of the 1970s. Much of the car's upscale feel can be attributed to tasteful accoutrements that impress both outside and in. At the leading edge of this old school pony, a prominent Mercury badge splits an ornate, "Cougar" branded grille, which hides bright headlights behind a squared bumper and bullet-style parking lamps. At the top of that grille, a cursive "Mercury" script leads the eye to crisp glass that's caged behind, satin wipers, bright drip rails and a full suite of dent-free stainless. At the sides of that glass, fashionable marker lamps corral a standard mirror, stylish rocker trim and traditional door handles. And at the back of those lamps, fast "Cougar" branding leads chrome-trimmed taillights, which float between a trick trunk lock, small reverse lamps, a second cursive "Mercury" script and a second squared bumper.
Under the car's sculpted hood, solid power comes courtesy of a reliable, 302 cubic inch Ford V8. Tracing its roots directly to Le Mans competition, the Windsor proved a trusted ally on the highway, drag strip and road course. That bodes well for the buyer of this exclusive Cougar, since all the engine's original components can be easily replaced or repaired if needed. "Original" is the key word there, as everything, aside from the car's fresh battery, appears just as the factory left it. Like all correct, first-generation Cougars, this Ford's tidy engine bay sports a clean coat of Satin Black paint. And with just over 2K miles on the clock, the spry mill would, with a bit of exercise and maintenance, be a great candidate for decades of casual cruising!
We'd like to take a moment to expound that title a bit more. Time Capsule Authenticity is exactly what you might imagine, in that this Mercury simply hasn't been altered much throughout its entire 50-year existence. This Cougar's proven V8 leads an original C4 3-speed. Naturally, that smooth drivetrain feeds a requisite 8-inch axle, which is finished with an open differential and mild, 3.00 gears. That rear end rolls on a factory-spec suspension that's fitted with factory power steering. Exhaust travels through factory pipes and a vintage FoMoCo muffler. And factory drum brakes provide quick and reliable stops to counter capped steel wheels and a round of mostly-original tires.
Grab a seat in this awesome classic and you'll find a correct Nugget interior that's detailed with tasteful vinyl accents and bright stainless trim. The first thing you'll notice is the car's plush bucket seats, which feature comfortable pleats on top of straight frames and firm foam. The second thing you'll notice is fade-free carpet, which neatly frames metal-trimmed foot pedals. And the third thing you'll notice is a correct console that's centered on a polished T-handle shifter. At the sides of the car, Cougar-branded door panels hang cool chrome handles in front of crack-free armrests. At the front of the car, a stylish, 2-tone dash highlights fantastic roulette wheel instrumentation. In front of the driver, a wood-trimmed steering wheel mixes good form with great function. And at the back of the car, a roomy trunk sandwiches a full-size spare tire between a vintage decal and correct mat.
While this Ford might not be the rarest pony car ever produced, time has greatly increased its exclusivity. This has to be one of the lowest-mileage first-generation Cougars in existence. Don't miss your chance to own some super cool, highly-original muscle!

Monique Keiran: Move to daylight schedule is only a question of time
Monique Keiran / Times Colonist
Workers abseil outside the clock face as they clean Big Ben's clock tower of the Houses of Parliament in London. Over the next couple of weeks, weÕll be adjusting to what might be B.C.Õs last shift to daylight saving time, Monique Keiran writes.
Photograph By Sang Tan, The Associated Press
What a difference a week makes. It's only Sunday, and we're already down an hour of sleep time this week. Over the next couple of weeks, we'll be adjusting to what might be B.C.'s last shift to daylight saving time.
Everything will feel just a bit off, as our body clocks try to catch up with the regimented requirements of modern life.
We'll adjust, however, as we've done twice each year since daylight saving time was introduced to save fuel and resources during the First World War.
What a difference a year makes.
A year ago, the battle to ban the seasonal time change was in full swing.
And in October, after years of lobbying, arguing and positioning, it happened. The B.C. government passed a measure to end seasonal time changes. The amendment allows the province to shift B.C. to permanent Pacific Daylight Saving Time.
Premier John Horgan stated that he wants our key trading partners up and down the coast to also make the jump. Staying in time lockstep with the western U.S. is essential for airlines, emergency and other services.
However, the B.C. government has left room for the province to forge ahead on its own if need be.
What a difference an hour makes.
A number of studies link the springtime time shift to more traffic accidents. The first such study, at the University of British Columbia, analyzed national data from 1991 and 1992 and concluded accidents increased by about eight per cent on the Monday after the clock was turned forward. They also found accidents declined by about the same amount following the autumn switch back to standard time, when people gain an extra hour of sleep.
Other studies elsewhere followed. In the most recent, from this January, University of Colorado researchers say a six per cent increase in fatal road accidents occurs in the U.S. in the week after the time change each spring, leading to more than 28 deaths a year. The effect is most pronounced in the morning and in areas to the west within a time zone.
That said, a review of 16 of the studies shows the results are not at all clear-cut. Several suggested a decreased risk, and seven found no significant difference one way or the other. Another review, of 24 studies, shows the short-term effects of switching to daylight saving time on traffic-collision risk were inconsistent, and the long-term effects suggested a positive effect.
Similarly inconclusive results apply across the numerous studies into the effect of the time change on risk and rates of heart attacks.
If the links do exist, however, eliminating the time change is a pretty superficial response to a much more basic, pernicious and widespread problem. One hour more or less of sleep twice each year shouldn't make that much of a difference. And it likely wouldn't — if we were getting enough sleep throughout the week and year.
But we know that's not happening. A poll conducted in December by Research Co. is the latest among numerous polls and studies suggests only one-third of Canadians meet Health Canada's sleep guidelines, with the rest sleeping for less than seven hours on a typical weekday or workday night.
The details vary, but the poll's results echo other studies.
If we have bad sleep habits and if we're persistently sleep-deprived, losing an hour of sleep — at whatever time of year and for whatever reason — could make a difference to our health and safety.
As we saw last fall, getting rid of seasonal time changes makes for good photo ops and citizen engagement. It provides government with easy ways to show they're responsive, getting things done and putting citizens interests first.
But it misses the boat.
Addressing the social and societal issues that regularly keep us from getting the sleep we need to be as healthy and productive as we can be would be a more productive use of everyone's energy and time, with wider-reaching, longer-term benefits for all.
With all the many complex and intertwined contributing factors, it would also be more difficult — much more difficult — to accomplish. There'd be no checkmarks on government to-do lists, no victory laps by those seeking easy solutions to complex issues, and no photo ops.
But — eventually — there'd be healthier, better rested people.
