COVID-19 Vaccines And Testing | VA Central Arkansas Health Care | Veterans Affairs
We encourage you to take the first opportunity you have to get a vaccine at the most convenient location for you.

COVID-19 vaccine booster information
The health and safety of our Veterans and staff is a top priority for CAVHS.  Getting vaccinated remains the best way to protect everyone form serious illness.  Protect yourself, your family, and your community by getting your vaccination or a booster shot today.  Veterans are asked to bring a valid VA ID and CDC vaccination card.
Who is eligible for a booster?
Anyone age 18 or older who:

Completed the Moderna or Pfizer series
Received the Johnson & Johnson single dose

VA will continue to offer COVID-19 vaccine and boosters to those authorized under the Save Lives Act while supplies last.
Why is a booster important?
COVID-19 vaccine effectiveness fades over time.  A booster will recharge your body's ability to protect you serious illness.  For more information about the COVID-19 booster, visit CDC.gov.
If you are an enrolled Veteran who received a vaccination outside of the VA, please report it to your primary care team.
COVID-19 vaccine eligibility

All Veterans -- you do not need to be enrolled in VA health care to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
Spouses of Veterans
Caregivers of Veterans -- For COVID-19 vaccine eligibility, caregiver is defined as a family member or friend who provides care to a Veteran.
CHAMPVA benefits recipients -- Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Mandatory masking remains in place for all individuals entering our facilities regardless of vaccine status.  A FDA-approved mask will be provided.

Monkeypox

The San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH) is working with state and federal agencies to help control the spread of monkeypox through vaccination, testing, and treatment. SFDPH has received the monkeypox vaccine (Jynneos vaccine) from the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), which receives them from the federal government. While some additional allocations of this two-dose vaccine have been made, supplies are limited and eligibility, while slightly expanded in recent days, is still constrained.
Since information regarding vaccine availability and eligibility, as well as treatment and testing options, is changing daily, check the below sites/resources regularly for updates:

Here are monkeypox resources from the City of San Francisco.
Information about vaccination sites, eligibility, and availability here.
Monkeypox resources, including information about access to vaccination, testing, diagnosis, and treatment, through San Francisco AIDS Foundation here.
Information about getting on the Strut vaccination waitlist here.

Read my call for the federal government to more robustly respond to this outbreak by quickly increasing vaccine, testing, and treatment availability, and for the San Francisco Department of Public Health to expand vaccine eligibility criteria to help a larger swath of populations at risk.
For additional information, reach out to the San Francisco Department of Public Health: 415-554-2500.
As always, please do not hesitate to reach out to my office for more information, either online at 415-557-1300.

Substance Use Treatment - Mental Health
It can help Veterans manage the urge to drink or use drugs, refuse opportunities to use substances, use a problem-solving approach to deal with substance use, and achieve personal goals.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) helps Veterans with substance use disorders by focusing on conversations between the Veteran and their provider to detect and strengthen personal motivations for change. This therapy looks at the reasons behind your desire to make a change and the potential benefits of that change.
Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET) helps Veterans with substance use disorders by focusing on conversations between the Veteran and their provider to detect and strengthen personal motivations for change. This therapy looks at the reasons behind your desire to make a change and the potential benefits of that change. MET is a version of MI that focuses specifically on changing alcohol and/or substance use.

Butterfly secrets: Wing design, navigation skills & other cool facts
By Stephen Nett 
Dozens of colorful butterfly species appear in Sonoma County and its parks each spring, displaying their intricate patterns and designs. To go butterfly spotting with a new appreciation, check out what we’re learning about the butterfly's secrets. 
Olympian FeatsSome butterflies, like the painted lady, can travel faster than you can run. Fluttering along at 20-plus miles per hour, over days and weeks they can cover more than 1,000 miles on a migratory path. That marathon persistence for such a small flyer is a marvel of the animal kingdom.
Designer LabelsNearly every butterfly species (there are more than 18,000) has its own combination of colors, patterns, and wing shapes. What’s even more amazing, butterflies are born with the ability to recognize their own brand. The eye-catching fashion is fully practical as well: It helps them find mates, and some designs are highly effective as camouflage and for warning off predators.   
Special Effects ArtistsButterfly wings are covered in delicate scales, like colorful mosaic tiles. But how do they create exotic visual effects like iridescent shading, bright flashes and metallic sheen? New studies have uncovered the secret: nano-engineering. Certain scales have extremely fine surface textures that bend and shift light into shimmering optical effects.  
Color Conscious Butterfly vision is superb. Although their eyes work differently than ours, they can distinguish the same range of colors we can. That high color sensitivity lets them spot flowers and specific sources of food. For example, the local pipevine swallowtail butterfly caterpillar only eats the native California pipevine plant. Acute color vision is key to finding their way home in a wild landscape.

Crazy-Good NavigatorsCould you find your way to Mexico or Canada without directions? Several butterfly species, like the painted lady and monarch, migrate in both directions across Sonoma County. The key is their ability to tell time and track the position of the sun. The time-keeping cells are in their antenna, and butterfly eyes can follow the sun's location with good accuracy.
FAQs • Danville, CA • CivicEngage
What is The Magee Preserve Project?

This is a proposal by Davidon Homes to develop approximately 29 acres (or 7%) of the 410-acre project site with 69 single family homes and seven attached secondary dwelling units (a.k.a. “casitas” or “in-law units”).As shown on the project site plan on the project page, the proposed lots are shown in blue while the remaining 381 acres (shown in white) would be converted to permanent open space.   

2.
Is it a development on an Open Space Preserve?

No.  The name of the proposed project selected by the developer is The Magee Preserve.  If approved, the project would set aside approximately 93% of the site as permanent open space.  However, at this time the property is privately owned by the Magee family and has development rights based on General Plan and zoning regulations established long before the Town’s incorporation. 

3.
Where is it located?

As shown on the site plan (on the project page), the property is located on the south side of Diablo Road and Blackhawk Road extending approximately two miles east from the intersection of Diablo Road/Green Valley Road/McCauley Road. Most of the proposed homes (66 units) would be situated behind existing development on the south side Blackhawk Road, set back from the road. The remaining three homes would be located off of McCauley Road, near the Diablo Road intersection. 

4.
What are the existing General Plan and Zoning designations for the Magee property? 

The existing “Magee property” is comprised of 10 separate parcels with a range of General Plan and zoning designations; most of the property is covered by the either the Agricultural or Rural Residential Land Use Designations. Table 3-2 (page 3-11) of the Revised Draft Environmental Impact Report (Revised DEIR) provides a summary by parcel. It’s important to note that both the Danville General Plan and Town’s Zoning district for the Agricultural and Rural Residential Land Use Designations permit residential uses.  Specifically, this property’s zoning of A-2; General Agricultural District permits “a detached single-family dwelling on each parcel and the accessory structures and uses normally auxiliary to it” by right.  The zoning allows up to one home per five acres.

Maternal deaths are devastating events with profound and prolonged effects on families and other survivors, as well as a public health issue of critical importance. The United States is one of the only countries in the world that has seen a rise in maternal mortality rate since 2000. For many years, New York State's maternal mortality rate mirrored that increase. In recent years, following NYSDOH's efforts, this trend has begun to reverse.
Still, there is work to do. Black birthing people in the U.S. die at more than double the rate of Caucasian birthing people. The number of maternal deaths in New York State and the persistent disparities in maternal mortality rate between Black and Caucasian New Yorkers are both of urgent concern.
Minnewaska State Park Preserve: Sam's Point Area

It is an exceptional example of a characteristic higher elevation forest community with a high diversity of forest dwelling species. The BCA includes birds of forest habitat including breeding Northern Saw-whet Owl, Black-and-white Warbler, Black-throated Blue Warbler, Canada Warbler, Eastern Wood-Pewee, Northern Flicker and Scarlet Tanager; and breeding shrub/scrub species Eastern Towhee, Field Sparrow, Gray Catbird, Indigo Bunting and Prairie Warbler. Species at risk include a pair of Peregrine Falcons (Endangered) that nest on the cliff face. Download a copy of the BCA map. 

Deer hunting is allowed in specific areas of the park preserve during hunting season.  Minnewaska's hunting dates coincide with the NYS DEC hunting dates. Bow, rifle/shotgun/pistol, crossbow and muzzleloader hunting is permitted. Anyone interested in hunting on Minnewaska State Park Preserve lands must get a free hunting permit.  Permits for Minnewaska and the Sam's Point Area can be obtained by completing the application under the attachments tab and emailing over to Terri.McNeil@parks.ny.gov.  If you complete your application this way your permit will be sent back to you electronically or you can mail your completed application to one of the addresses listed below.  Minnewaska State Park Preserve, PO Box 893, New Paltz, NY 12561   Attn:  Terri McNeilSam's Point Preserve, PO Box 86, Cragsmoor, NY 12486All hunters must have their current hunting license first because we require your NYS Hunting License ID # on the application.  Your license ID # is shown directly under your printed name on your carcass tags or at a 90° angle on the right side of your license.  It is not your DOC #.  Failure to provide the correct number will void your permit.  After hunting season ends, all hunters are required to complete and send back the park questionnaire by 1/15/22.  In-person permits will not be issued this year due to COVID.

NASA - NSSDCA - Spacecraft - Details
The new sequence called for the spacecraft to go further south than originally planned, take more near-encounter pictures, and collect more scientific data on the lighted side of Mars. Data from the dark side of Mars were to be transmitted directly back to Earth but there would be no room on the digital recorder for backup due to the added dayside data. At closest approach, 05:00:49 UT on 5 August, Mariner 7 was 3430 km above the martian surface. Over this period, 33 near-encounter images were taken. About 19 minutes after the flyby, the spacecraft went behind Mars and emerged roughly 30 minutes later. X-band occultation data were taken during the entrance and exit phases. Science and imaging data were played back and transmitted over the next few days. The spacecraft was then returned to cruise mode which included engineering and communications tests, star photography TV tests, and UV scans of the Milky Way and an area containing comet 1969-B. Periodic tracking of the spacecraft in its heliocentric orbit was also done.

Science Results

The total data return for Mariners 6 and 7 was 800 million bits. Mariner 6 returned 49 far encounter and 26 near encounter images of Mars, and Mariner 7 returned 93 far and 33 near encounter images. Close-ups from the near encounter phases covered 20% of the surface. The spacecraft instruments measured UV and IR emissions and radio refractivity of the Martian atmosphere. Images showed the surface of Mars to be very different from that of the Moon, in some contrast to the results from Mariner 4. The south polar cap was identified as being composed predominantly of carbon dioxide. Atmospheric surface pressure was estimated at between 6 and 7 mb. Radio science refined estimates of the mass, radius and shape of Mars.
