AARP and HeathCare reform

disclaimer: I consult (Enterprise Applications - Software) at AARP. Although, the views expressed here are solely mine and do not represent AARP.

I am following the whole health care *issue* moving fluidly from a thought, to a presidential campaign material, to a perceived *can-wait*, to a must-do now, to a political opportunity, and now to a furiously moving going-hot town halls and debates. I can't tell if this effects me much. I don't know completely if the reform is needed. But sure I do realize there is more than just money and politics involved. And People, Mostly, are driven by motives and myths than reality. Here is AARP's stand, clip from O' Reilly factor.



Like DividedWeFail.org, AARP's new commitment to this reform is expressed in a new site. HealthActionNow.org. It tries to address some clarity on myths that are going around.

Side note: Creative or what?

Being a Vegetarian

I am a Proud Vegetarian. I don't eat Meat or Eggs. People say its hard here in US to be one. I beg to differ. The mere fact that I am hail and healthy these 4 years is a definitive proof. Apart from being bullied and trash talked by The Meat-Eaters, There is really nothing that makes this choice of mine any more than a debatable issue at a lunch or dinner. Other things aside, I am writing this blog having watched a PETA Video. Before you click on the play button, I ask you - If you are a vegetarian : Dont watch it. If you are not : Dare to watch it till the end. If you think going veg is just a fashion, think again . Even if you just want to do it for Fashion . Do it. Go Vegetarian. And Feel better asking the waiter for a Vegetarian Entrée in your next lunch.

classpath*: making your Modular Spring Resources

Spring gives multiple options to load XML resources for building contexts. the reference documentation does explain this feature quite well. However, I am taking my shot at explaining the different practical scenarios ( by order of growing modularisation) For Example, A simplest Spring based web Context Loader can be configured with resources like this <context-param> <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name> <param-value>applicationContext.xml</param-value> </context-param> <listener> <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class> </listener> You just need to put applicationContext.xml in WEB-INF/ folder of your webapp. However, Typically an application is n-tiered. You can also have multiple files setup and in relative paths. like <param-value> context-files/applicationContext.xml context-files/dao.xml context-files/service.xml </param-value>
