This is directed at all of my Reserve Component Chief Petty Officer shipmates:
“Do you want to take COMMAND? Can you be entrusted to stand tall under pressure? If you are a Chief then the answer must be a resounding “Aye, Aye!” Would you like to drill/serve your country past the maximum 30 years of TIS allowed for enlisted personnel? Do you have what it takes to wear "eagles" on your collar or be a CWO5? Would you like to increase your retirement pay by 50% or even 100%?
If you are an E-7 through E-9 with the desire to reach for one of the most demanding and satisfying positions in the Navy, the Limited Duty Officer or Chief Warrant Officer Commissioning Program may be for you.
The RC LDO/CWO program is actively seeking candidates with the “right stuff”. The RC CWO program is in particular need of support from the CPO mess. We are approximately 50% manned in our RC CWO inventory and we are losing folks almost as fast as we are “making” them. The RC LDO situation is a bit better, but not by much. So the fleet has an incentive to get as many highly qualified candidates into those billets as possible.
If you are a Reserve Component Chief Petty Officer and are interested in the RC LDO/CWO program, then now is the time to take the next step.
The following designator/career fields are OPEN:

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

CDSCO and Phamacovigilance {Regulatory body in India}NEHA GUPTA
The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) is India's national regulatory body for pharmaceuticals and medical devices. Operating under the Directorate General of Health Services, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, the CDSCO is responsible for approving new drugs, conducting clinical trials, setting standards for drugs, controlling the quality of imported drugs, and coordinating the activities of State Drug Control Organizations by providing expert advice.
Pharmacovigilance, on the other hand, is the science and activities related to the detection, assessment, understanding, and prevention of adverse effects or any other drug-related problems. The primary aim of pharmacovigilance is to ensure the safety and efficacy of medicines, thereby protecting public health.
In India, pharmacovigilance activities are monitored by the Pharmacovigilance Programme of India (PvPI), which works closely with CDSCO to collect, analyze, and act upon data regarding adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Together, they play a critical role in ensuring that the benefits of drugs outweigh their risks, maintaining high standards of patient safety, and promoting the rational use of medicines.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Microteaching is a unique model of practice teaching. It is a viable instrument for the. desired change in the teaching behavior or the behavior potential which, in specified types of real. classroom situations, tends to facilitate the achievement of specified types of objectives.
Purpose: this test measures back and leg strength. Equipment required: strength dynamometer, usually composed of a cable tensiometer. Procedure: Make sure the dial is reset to zero before you start. Stand upright on the base of the dynamometer with your feet shoulder width apart. Let your arms hang straight down to hold the center of the bar with both hands, and with the palms facing toward the body. Adjust the chain so that the knees are bent at approximately 110 degrees. In this position your back should be bent slightly forward at the hips, your head should be held upright, and you should look straight ahead. Then without bending your back, pull as hard as possible on the chain and try to straighten your legs, keeping your arms straight. Pull against the weight steadily (no jerky movements), keeping the feet flat on the base of the dynamometer. Maximum performance will result when your legs are almost straight at the end of the lift. If not, adjust the chain length and starting position. Scoring: read the result from the dynamometer. Advantages: simple test to perform. Disadvantages: only test one person at a time. Variations: different muscle groups can be tested by adjusting length of chain and the degree of leg bend. Physical Readiness Program
The Standing long jump, also called the Broad Jump, is a common and easy to administer test of explosive leg power. It is one of the fitness tests in the NFL Combine . The standing long jump was also once an event at the Olympic Games , and is also an event in Sports Hall competitions in the UK. Purpose: to measure the explosive power of the legs. Equipment required: tape measure to measure distance jumped, non-slip floor for takeoff, and soft landing area preferred. Commercial Long Jump Landing Mats are also available. The take off line should be clearly marked. Procedure: The athlete stands behind a line marked on the ground with feet slightly apart. A two foot take-off and landing is used, with swinging of the arms and bending of the knees to provide forward drive. The subject attempts to jump as far as possible, landing on both feet without falling backwards. Three attempts are allowed. See some long jump video examples . Scoring: The measurement is taken from the takeoff line to the nearest point of contact on landing (back of heels). Record the longest distance jumped, best of three attempts. The table below gives a rating scale for the standing long jump test for adults, based on personal experiences. Variations / modifications: A long jump landing pit may be used instead of a hard surface, which enables the subject to confidently put more effort into the jump, and to extend the legs further in front of the body for landing. This technique also allows those with greater skill to score longer jumps, which is undesirable if you are trying to test for leg power only. Generally longer distances can be achieved with this technique so the norm table below would not be accurate. Advantages: this test is simple and quick to perform, requiring minimal equipment. Disadvantages: there is some skill component in this test. Comments: falling or stepping backward after the landing will result in measurement to that point of contact rather than where the feet first touched. Some subjects will try to use a step at take-off, which is not allowed. Physical Readiness Program
Purpose: This is a test of anaerobic endurance Equipment required: Stopwatch , measuring tape , marker cones , a flat grass surface Procedure: Marker cones and lines are placed 25 yards apart to indicate the sprint distance. Start with a foot on one line. When instructed by the timer, the player runs to the opposite 25-yard line, touches it with their foot, turns and run back to the start. This is repeated six times without stopping (covering 300 yards total). After a rest of five minutes, the test is repeated. Scoring: Record the average of the two 300-yard shuttles. Target population: Suitable for athletes involved in many multi-sprint sports such basketball, hockey, rugby, soccer. Comments: This is a maximal anaerobic test, and in order to receive the highest score the players must sprint at 100 percent effort the entire time. Encourage the athletes not to pace themselves. Physical Readiness Program
This test is part of a fitness testing protocol for the NFL Combine Testing and for the SPARQ rating for baseball , hockey , and football . It is also called the Pro Agility Shuttle or 5-10-5 Shuttle. Purpose: This is a test of speed, explosion, body control and the ability to change direction (agility). Equipment required: Stopwatch or timing gates , measuring tape or marked football field, 3 marker cones , a flat non-slip surface. Procedure: Three marker cones are placed along a line five yards apart. The player straddles the middle line and puts one hand down in a three-point stance. The player can start by going either to the right or left direction. For example, on the signal 'Go' the player turns and runs five yards to the right side and touches the line with his right hand. He then runs 10 yards to his left and touches the other line with his left hand, then finally turns and finishes by running back through the start/finish line. The player is required to touch the line at each turn. Scoring: The time to complete the test in seconds to the nearest two decimals is recorded. The score is the best time of three trials. Target population: This test is part of the NFL testing combine , though it would be suitable for athletes involved in many team sports such basketball, hockey, rugby, soccer. Comments: Turning technique and coordination is also a large factor in this test. It is called the 20 yard shuttle as the total distance covered is 20 yards. 20 yards = 18.3 meters. Physical Readiness Program
Equipment Used : Tape or CD, PA system, cones, stop watch (for back up) Instruction for Personnel : Examiner will organize cadets into rows, which will be marked by cones. One examiner will start the tape/CD. The other examiners will walk between rows, looking at proper start position and push-up technique. The recorder will stand to the side of the cadet performing the push-up and count the total number of push-ups that are correctly executed. Instruction for Cadets : Lie prone, ready to perform full push-up. Hands should be shoulder width apart and just under the shoulders. Fingers should be facing forward. Elbows are bent. The tape will count down from 5 to 1. The next command will be “up”. The up position is elbows locked, body straight (buttocks in line with back and legs). Hips may not be flexed. The head and neck should be in line with the back. This will be followed by “down”. The down position is back straight with elbows bent to at least 90 degrees. Continue for as long as possible, staying with the cadence. No resting is permitted and hand position cannot be changed. The test is finished when push-ups are not properly executed or do not stay on the cadence. The maximum number of push-ups is 60 over two minutes. Points for Examiner : If the cadet fails to maintain the cadence or breaks form (bends back or changes hand position), the test is finished. The examiner will say “done.” Scoring: The recorder will write down total number of properly executed push-ups on the official score sheet. Physical Readiness Program
1. Place your elbows on the deck (at shoulder width) directly below your shoulders. Make a fist with both hands and point them forward. 2. Engage your abdominal muscles and lift your torso so that your body forms a straight line from your shoulders through your legs. 3. Stabilize your body by centering one leg on the ground. Lift the other leg to form a straight line from your ears to your toes. 4. Hold the leg up for as long as possible. Breathe deeply in and out. Concentrate on tightening your hamstrings and engaging your abs. 5. When the subject can no longer maintain proper form, or when any body part other than the forearms and single foot touches the floor, the test is terminated. 6. The recorder will write down the length of time the subject was able to maintain proper form and will use that time for official scoring. Physical Readiness Program
