Home • Latest Med-Mal Insurance News & Research • Cg Ins • Healthcare Industry • Doctors try new word: Sorry.
“This is our responsibility, and we are very sorry for it,” Mehta said, recalling the conversation.
But the culture of secrecy in medicine is beginning to change, as leading patient safety organizations call for fuller disclosure of medical errors and some trend-setting hospitals decide an “honesty is best” policy will improve care.
Advocates say acknowledging medical errors can advance healing by defusing patients’ anger and easing physicians’ guilt, especially when accompanied by an apology. Some also contend the practice can cut back on malpractice lawsuits and payouts, though with the movement in its infancy it’s too soon to know for sure.
Supporters include influential industry groups such as the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations and the National Quality Forum, which now recommend all hospitals disclose serious “unanticipated outcomes” in medical care — bad things that shouldn’t have happened.
Chicago has become something of a center for the emerging “fess up” movement. The UIC Medical Center is nationally known for its comprehensive error disclosure program, and the university’s medical school has created a curriculum to train future doctors how to recognize and deal with mistakes.
“The goal is to maintain patients’ trust,” said Dr. Tim MacDonald, UIC’s associate chief medical officer for patient safety.
But significant barriers to saying “I’m sorry” remain. Many hospitals say they support disclosing errors but haven’t instituted comprehensive policies, O’Leary said.
Dr. David Mayer, an anesthesiologist and assistant dean for curriculum at UIC’s medical school, tells of an experience in the mid-1980s at a Chicago teaching hospital. A young man had come in for a hernia repair, and a surgical resident made the initial incision on the wrong side. The error was discovered quickly and corrected.
When Mayer visited the patient later, the man mentioned the doctors had told him they saw something suspicious on that side, went in to check and found nothing wrong. “I’m lucky,” Mayer recalls the patient saying.
Mayer was surprised but just nodded his head. “No one had ever talked to me about what to do when things don’t go as planned,” he said.
One of the biggest obstacles to disclosure is the fear of lawsuits. More than 30 states, including Illinois, have passed “apology laws” that prevent expressions of regret from being used against physicians in court. But most lawyers are skeptical and insurance companies typically still insist that doctors break off all communication with patients or families after medical snafus occur.
Kraman recalls the case of a middle-aged woman whose family was unaware that she had died from a medication error. “Our team asked, ‘Would we want to know the truth if this was our mother?’ and the answer was obvious,” he said.
As the attorney’s jaw dropped, the daughters expressed gratitude at being told the truth. A financial settlement was negotiated, and the hospital made several changes to prevent similar errors.
At UIC’s medical center, a wide-ranging disclosure program began about a year ago and is now considered a national model by many experts.
Offering financial assistance is part of the bargain. “The best way to approach this is to own up to the fact that an incident happened and ask what can we do to fix it and make the situation better,” said John DeNardo, UIC’s chief executive officer.
Things went wrong when Cephas received the injection at UIC’s oncology clinic, then went to the hospital because of severe pain chemotherapy was causing in her hands and feet. Cephas’ medical chart showed no record of the neulasta, and without discussing the matter with Cephas a resident ordered another shot.
Mehta, the head of oncology, learned of the double injection the next day, when someone from the hospital contacted the clinic. Before talking to Cephas, “I checked all the facts and I put myself in the shoes of the patient and asked myself what her concerns might be, so I could prepare truthful answers,” he said.
Cephas’ white blood cell count had soared, but the implications were unclear. While blood-cancer patients with high white-cell counts have experienced ruptured spleens, Mehta could find no research applicable to breast cancer.
Haskell repeatedly called for help, but hospital staff told her Lewis was constipated and had gas pains because of the painkillers he was taking. The residents — physicians in training — who saw the boy didn’t order a routine blood test that could have flagged the bleeding. Haskell’s urgent requests to have a senior physician examine her son were ignored.
When hospital staff couldn’t get a blood pressure reading, they assumed the monitor was malfunctioning and spent more than two hours repeating the test.
After Lewis’ death from cardiac arrest, his physician — who was not the senior doctor on call that weekend — told Haskell and her husband “this is our fault” and cried when he heard what had happened.
Their reaction? “We felt better. He was an honest man,” said Haskell.
Since her son’s death, Haskell has founded Mothers Against Medical Error and the Medical University of South Carolina has dedicated a chair in patient safety to her son.
“Helen inspires me and reminds me of what can happen when we don’t listen to the alarms raised by patients and their families,” said Dr. John Shaefer, the anesthesiologist who currently holds that post.
Without disclosure of medical errors, “there’s no learning from mistakes in institutions and the same things happen over and over again,” Haskell said.

The successful Cooking Mama game for the Nintendo DS is translated to the Wii, with less than stellar results. If you've played the DS game, you will be completely familiar with everything in Cooking Mama: Cook Off. Except the less responsive controls.
You are tasked with completing meals from your choice of country's cuisines. What follows often turns into tedium as you fight with the wiimote to smoothly respond to your actions. Lots of quick chopping and slow stirring.
Also available is a two-player cook off battle, and your chance to take on a computer controlled character to put you to shame. The computer chef will speed through some tasks, while being inexplicably slow during others, but their end result will be nothing short of perfection. Hope you can keep up.
Recommended for fans of the DS version who want the challenge of fighting the controller.
Catz is one of many "Petz" games, designed to recreate the experience of owning a real pet, without the mess and expense.
Unfortunately, Catz captures all the repetitiveness of the superior "Nintendogs," without the quality playability.
Just like in real life, your job is to keep your cat happy. Your cat has want indicator bars, showing you how tired, hungry and neglected it feels. Good luck getting it to notice the food you put out for it.
There's really not much to do in this game. You can play with your kitty for short bits. Or watch it strut around. Or take pictures of it. Or wait for a phone call to invite you to take care of someone else's cat!
The lack of rewards greatly limits the playability of this game. The money you earn for completing tasks allows you to choose from a slim assortment of accessories, or unlocks weird "cat facts" to read. It could be a better game if there was just more to it.
Recommended for cat lovers with short attention spans.
Duke Nukem Forever: The infamous game progress left behind. A decade ago, this game would probably have been a remarkable achievement. Six years ago, it might have offered some impressive points. Releasing in 2011, it is a bit of a janky mish-mashed mess.
I wasn't a fan of previous Duke Nukem games, so this title holds no nostalgic factor for me. The gunplay is rather rudimentary and unpolished. The graphics and level design are rather flat. This game just doesn't do anything very interesting, though it does try. The attempts at variety save it from just being a dismal failure, but those segments (driving, tiny platforming) overstay their welcome.
This game could never figure out what it needed to be, and ends up falling short all over the place.
Recommended for gamers with a morbid interest in seeing a fallen icon.
Marathon: Durandal looks like the original Doom, but plays more like a dungeon crawler... you're often looking around for items then backtracking to unlock further areas, all while blasting baddies.
Controls are responsive and the camera works well, but it's hard to get past the aged look.
If you didn't like it when it originally came out, you probably won't care for it.
This one is recommended only for nostalgia buffs; those curious to see the shaky history of video games and how far we've come.
Spider-Man Friend or Foe is a co-op-based superhero beat-em-up that suffers from a quick license cash-in.
Spider-Man FOF would have been a good game several years ago, but now it feels outdated and provides the player with nothing special. A game best suited for last-gen consoles.
A wide selection of characters to choose from to team up with Spider-Man, but only one is allowed at a time and many feel the exact same. Gameplay is dull and mindless.
Graphically, the stages are bland, the art direction is blocky and ugly, and the few enemies are extremely repetitive. The game runs smoothly, mostly due the fact that not much happens.
Recommended only for young children. | 2019-04-23T22:35:42 | http://thosegamesweplay.com/reviews2/ |
Toledo, in the heart of Castile La Mancha, is often referred to as “a cultural melting pot” due to its Christian, Jewish and Muslim influences, and boasts several historical places of worship. One of its oldest churches, San Sebastián, originally built as a mosque in the 10th century, provides a Mozarabic setting for a new exhibition of collages by Swiss artist Daniel Garbade entitled “In Bed with Greco and Picasso”.
Garbade has also been influenced by various cultures. He may hail from Switzerland but has Cuban roots. He has spent many years living and working in Spain and has forged close ties with Castile La Mancha.
Artistically, Daniel Garbade has many strings to his bow. He has worked as an art director in the film world and he is also an illustrator, painter, sculptor and photographer. His work has been shown in galleries and art fairs throughout Europe. He was selected by the Dadaists of the Cabaret Voltaire Zurich to make the plaque of Bakunin’s tomb in Bern.
Daniel Garbade first discovered the works of twentieth-century Spanish artist Picasso when he was a child living in Switzerland. His grandfather, Swiss philanthropist and politician Paul Lachenal was both Picasso’s friend and lawyer and even adopted Picasso’s son Paulo during the Second World War to enable him to escape from Nazi Germany. Lachenal owned a collection of great masters including works by Picasso. Therefore, the young Daniel Garbade not only became acquainted with Picasso’s work at an early age but “felt drawn” towards it.
In fact, both Picasso and Spanish Renaissance painter El Greco had a tremendous influence on Daniel Garbade. Garbade states that both painters would appear in his dreams as if they were overseeing the art he was trying to create - hence the title of his exhibition “In Bed with Greco and Picasso”. Other artists who have influenced his work are Swiss artist Alberto Giacometti and British artists David Hockney, Francis Bacon and Lucien Freud.
“In Bed with Greco and Picasso” features three series of work: DNA Picasso and El Greco. “DNA” boasts literally hundreds of miniature drawings or photographs of Garbade’s ancestors and also key locations in his life.
However, as Garbade himself says, “A DNA is also composed by influences, in my case by painters like Picasso or Greco. That is why in these portraits I add drawings by Picasso which helped me to understand the art of drawing, or a painting I have made of him. On the other hand, I include pictures of the landscapes of Toledo made by Greco, but also small caricatures of his portraits made by me. It is through El Greco that I learned how to use other forms and colours. In this case it has a double meaning as I chose the province of Toledo 30 years ago to be my second home”.
Some of the paintings have been created with a felt pen. Garbade describes the small drawings of the figures in these paintings as “his soldiers.” He says: “They fight my way through the painting and help me to compose them. They are usually very normal people, as are the objects: a bicycle, a comb, a motorbike.... Only in a few portraits I use the figures I copied from religious paintings, using them to compose a Head: the features of a face tell a lot about life where religion has a place, for good or for bad”.
“First, I started to cut and disintegrate some of my paintings to assemble them again to give them a certain movement, a bit like Hockney’s collages of Polaroids. From there I decided to move further towards Fontography. By using my drawings like pixels in a photo, assembling and multiplying my drawings in a collage, I found that together they could give another image. We are just a tiny little part in the big puzzle of our lives”. | 2019-04-19T11:12:45 | http://garbade.es/ENGLISH/expo%20san%20sebastian.htm |

Javelle Allen played in five games this year and had 79 rushing yards and one touchdown.
Just this week, Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez said he isn’t against collecting quarterbacks for the future. But his collection will have one fewer entering Tuesday’s meeting with Boston College in the AdvoCare V100 Bowl.
Rodriguez announced late Saturday that backup quarterback Javelle Allen has been dismissed from the team. According to Rodriguez, Allen violated team rules and is no longer on the team. He did not tell reporters in Louisiana what the violations were.
Rodriguez said third-string quarterback Jesse Scroggins, a junior college transfer who started his career at USC, and Nick Isham, a transfer from Louisiana Tech, will be the backups to starter B.J. Denker in the bowl game.
"It will be an either-or deal with those two," Rodriguez told the Arizona Daily Star.
Allen, a redshirt freshman, played in five games and rushed for 79 yards and one touchdown. He scored on a 61-yard touchdown run in the season opener against Northern Arizona.
Even without Allen, Arizona will have as many as seven quarterbacks to choose from next season to replace Denker, whose eligibility expires.
Rodriguez added that defensive lineman Justin Washington and offensive lineman Eric Bender-Ramsay also are no longer on the team.
"It was kind of a mutual thing," Rodriguez told the Star of Washington and Bender-Ramsay leaving the program. "It was time for them to move on and time for us to move on."
Washington, a breakout player under former coach Mike Stoops, played in all 12 games this season and had 13 tackles. Bender-Ramsay was used mostly on special teams. Neither was listed on Arizona’s postseason roster. | 2019-04-19T15:09:30 | https://www.foxsports.com/arizona/story/arizona-dismisses-backup-qb-allen-122913 |

Weighted blankets offer deep pressure stimulation, a form of touch pressure that feels like a firm hug, a massage, or swaddling. Deep pressure stimulation has been found to calm adults and children with insomnia, anxiety, autism, high blood pressure, attention difficulties, and more.
The underlying science on weighted blankets is called deep touch pressure (DTP). DTP is about gently applying pressure to the body to increase the release of serotonin, just like a warm hug. This is where a weighted blanket may help. By applying firm but gentle pressure, a weighted blanket delivers all of the benefits of a hug without forcing unwelcome or unpleasant body contact with another person, all through the night, allowing a person to sleep soundly through the entire night. | 2019-04-25T15:42:01 | https://www.starkidzclothing.com/collections/blankets/products/therapeutic-weighted-decompression-gravity-blanket |
As you probably know by now, our current temporary exhibit, Every Child Has a Name, is focused on the children of the Holocaust. Their games, drawings, and toys tell their story in a powerful way that make history come alive–especially to our younger visitors. As children tour the exhibit, they take in the idea that other children, often younger than themselves, lived and died during the Holocaust. While this moment may be difficult for some, it is a moment that we hope will allow the students to make a real connection with the Holocaust and the lessons of tolerance and understanding.
For those students who are interested in learning more about the Holocaust, there are many wonderful books available. Here is a brief selection of these books, selected for their quality and the power of the stories told within their pages.
Let us know if you have a favorite that isn’t listed, or if you have read and loved any of our picks.

In the 2 years since I launched GetOutGlasgow, it’s seen quite a number of iterations in terms of both the type of content we’ve been publishing and the look of the site. Today we’re launching the latest version and, in my opinion, the best yet. Built completely from scratch, using the latest techniques, the site has been built from the ground up with mobile users primarily in mind (given that consistently 60 to 70% of the site’s traffic is on handheld devices), but it should still look pretty good on desktop too!
Every feature of the site has been hand built, in order to rely on zero third-party plugins which traditionally slow down this kind of website and the typography has been carefully considered to make it as pleasurable a reading experience as possible, on a wide range of devices.
So what’s next for GetOutGlasgow? More content! The focus will remain primarily on bar/restaurant reviews and guides, and we will also be working hard to update the existing guides over the coming weeks to make sure we bring you the most up-to-date, relevant, information. The plan is also to add a lot more rich content to the guides, pulling in the likes of TripAdvisor ratings and relevant Tweets about each entry.
As always, contributions from anyone looking to get a bit of writing out into the ether are always welcome. Just head over to the contribute page if you’re interested in getting involved. And if you’d like to get in touch for any reason whatsoever, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. | 2019-04-18T13:27:41 | https://getoutglasgow.com/welcome-to-the-new-getoutglasgow/ |
Keeping Up ... with the Joneses: Jack of all trades?
What exactly is my role as a minister? In the past couple of weeks I have changed a tyre on a car, rewired light fittings, moved a screen (twice), replaced a lock in a door, completed some colleagues' tax returns for them (and submmitted same to SARS), and "de-virused" a fellow Phase One's memory stick. Tomorrow morning I will be painting walls at John Street, and then braiing chicken for the fund raiser at St George's.
I'm SO glad I also get to preach, visit people, and serve Communion from time to time, otherwise I would be suffering a real identity crisis! | 2019-04-23T05:02:49 | http://www.granville.co.za/2009/11/jack-of-all-trades.html |

To watch the company that bears your name warp into a shadow of its' former haute couture glory would be, for many men, unbearable. For Christian Lacroix, however, it provided the impetus to launch into a career costuming ballets and operas across Europe, to act as an artistic advisor to the French mint and to jump into…furniture design. This may not seem like a natural extension for someone as visionary and exuberant as Lacroix, but to Maurizio Leo Placuzzi, president of mosaic manufacturer Sici, he was the obvious choice.
Drawing from Gallo-Roman ruins that were discovered underneath his great-grandparents' house, Byzantine Empress Theodora and the bold, lavish trappings he imagined she would surround herself with, Lacroix's furniture collaboration is a study in bright colors and sumptuous textures with a whimsical hints of lace, studs, braiding and embroidery. The pieces, ranging from capricious wing-back chairs and tables to poufs and fringed ottomans, seem to be meant to mismatch rather than match perfectly, evoking the sense that the pieces were collected over time rather than assembled all at once.
Not for the meek decorator, Lacroix for Sici captures perfectly his flamboyant design aesthetic in pieces that will be sure to add a theatrical pop to any room. | 2019-04-20T05:07:47 | https://www.businessinsider.com/christian-lacroix-furniture-collection-for-sici-2011-10 |

Good reading projects in school stimulate students’ desire to keep reading.
It is impossible to point out all the prerequisites for this, as enthusiasm for reading encompasses several factors which influence each other. Ranking criteria for success with regards to stimulation of reading will vary from plan to plan, but the students’ motivation is a prerequisite in all reading projects, and motivation is often also the foremost mark of the happy reader.
Many children start school with a lot of motivation and high expectations towards learning to read. Reading is a greatly valued skill. The importance of being successful in this is quickly and clearly made apparent to the child. It is therefore important that the feeling of mastering becomes dominant in the child’s reading situation. One of the criteria for a successful reading project is that it gives all the children the feeling that reading is enjoyable and something they can master – regardless of their skill level.
Motivation is influenced by the teacher sharing his or her own experience as valuable and important. Whether or not a project is successful, cannot be counted in number of pages read. It can hardly be considered successful if the student closes the last book thinking “Phew, finally done. It’s going to be a long time before I open another book!”. A reading project can be said to be successful to the extent that it motivates further reading and creates curious readers who enjoy reading. The students will then choose new texts to read and meet new reading activities with a positive attitude.
The use of external or material rewards can be a good motivator at the start of a reading project. External rewards work best if introduced for a limited period of time. It may be dependent on the number of books read individually or by the whole class, on each student reading a thousand pages. The reward must be obtainable by everyone in the project. It can be difficult to use external rewards if some students are left out, and special rules should be made. It can also be problematic to hand out rewards to individuals in a group context. It must be considered whether the reward is suitable for everyone in the group. What might the consequences be for the group, if not everyone gets a reward?
Does the project pave the way for individual feelings of mastery?
Does the project emphasise individual reading experiences?
Does the project open for acknowledgement / praise of the students?
Is an external reward part of the project?
When the goal has been reached, when time is up or the required number of pages has been read, the end of the reward has to be clearly marked. The students should feel that the reward was nice, but not necessary in order to keep reading. External rewards are rarely enough to keep up motivation long-term. It is the inner motivation which affects further reading. That’s why, in addition to the external reward, we have to work from the individual student’s basic need for mastering.
If the students themselves feel that they can read better, and that there is a reading development, that can also affect the motivation to read. Adults give attention to certain activities which should result in better readers. One result of these external expectations is that the students expect and need an external response as to whether or not they succeed at reading. The reading experience is thereby also affected by the extent to which the reader is acknowledged. To be considered a good reader can greatly affect the motivation to read.
This article has been taken from the booklet "The Pearl Hunt – chasing positive reading experiences ". | 2019-04-19T12:39:17 | https://lesesenteret.uis.no/frontpage/news/article11041-14045.html |

After escaping the sinking ship, those that read yesterday’s post will know what I’m talking about, I started thinking about the helicopter episode.
I think it had to do with the aches and pains I acquired spending an hour out in the garden trying to defeat the weeds and failing.
How did I get in that helicopter?
It’s like watching an episode of some series or other where you see the main character trapped in an exploding car, and right after the starting credits, it says ‘two days earlier’.
Someone once told me it was not a good idea to ask your commander out to dinner. Not a date, just the fact you’d like to get to know her better.
Yes, my commanding officer was a woman.
I thought the dinner went well, we found some common ground, ice hockey, and baseball, albeit barracking for different teams.
Then, the next day when I went into ‘the office’, the operations officer called me aside.
Good question, had I, and who?
Usually, I was in the front line, what they called in the army, cannon fodder. Some said I had a death wish.
This will no doubt change when I think about it some more. | 2019-04-23T21:59:03 | https://aloysius5.com/2018/12/14/these-dreams-are-killing-me-figuratively/ |
Today, I went to a workshop hosted by the lovely Maria Simms. We managed to make three (yes, THREE!) cards at the workshop and prepared the fourth to complete at home.
I decided to make the fourth one straight away because, knowing me, the bits and pieces will still be sitting in a pile next month!
We used Sketchy Lady by Clarity as the main stamp for all the cards ... it's amazing what you can do with just one stamp!
... stamping and embossing with gold embossing powder.
Creating a resist background paper and coordinating inky card to use for paper piecing.
Lots of masking in this one!
Clean, simple and beautiful! Stamping, colouring with Promarkers and adding glitter.
I'm so glad it's had it's first outing now as it is such a beautiful and versatile stamp.
These are all fabulous creations Louise.

After a assault on dual tower, Mr. Leader stated the warfare towards Arab Environment is proclaiming that it is the battle to stop advice not up against the religious beliefs.

Is it expensive to for US$1,500 per man day for a typical Microsoft based solution implementation in US?
However for a One Man Business that requires general service it's way too expensive.
I don't think company will charge US$1500 to a one man company. I think it more or less charging for solution implementation, such as email, portal or directory.
What is the normal rate for such service in US? Isn't there a standard fees to charge by a professional?
I do Security Work for Banks and you had better believe that work is charged at a decent rate.
When I do similar work for small business I charge a lot less. | 2019-04-23T18:40:04 | https://www.techrepublic.com/forums/discussions/professional-service-fee/ |
Duffel, December 2016 – Reynaers Aluminium, leading European provider of sustainable architectural aluminium solutions, will host stakeholders at a brand-new state of the art stand at the BAU 2017 exhibition in München from 16 to 21 January 2017. Its striking stand was designed to introduce visitors to its theme for 2017, Free Your Mind, which supports the show’s theme, The Future of Building.
At BAU 2017, Reynaers will vividly demonstrate how its latest range of aluminium solutions breaks the shackles of conventional thinking, allowing architects the freedom to make almost any architectural dream come true. The boundaries between what can be done and what has always been dreamed of are rapidly blurring, and Reynaers is playing a leading role in this.
The vast array of Reynaers’ products and solutions on display will reflect dominant worldwide building and construction trends, demonstrating the extent to which it has successfully adapted designs and technology to address regional needs and unique climate and weather conditions globally.
One of the highlights at BAU 2017 will be its new MasterLine 8; the ground-breaking aluminium window system of the future. It is the successor of the internationally successful Reynaers Concept System, and brings end-users enhanced levels of comfort and security. Furthermore, MasterLine 8 offers designers exceptional architectural freedom with numerous design variants and scores particularly high in terms of energy-efficiency. Special attention was given to the manufacturing and installation of the windows. It provides an optimized production process that includes time- and cost-efficient assembly of the components and simplified installation of the finished elements. To further enhance Smart Manufacturing, Reynaers introduced ReynaFlow, its dedicated software package, designed to optimize, control and improve the production process.
In addition to MasterLine 8, visitors will have the opportunity to see and experience numerous other door, window, sliding door, façade, folding door and bespoke solutions. These solutions offer advanced new extensions and innovative enhancements in terms of superior insulation, fire proofing, air and wind resistance, ventilation, and water drainage solutions. New approaches to opening up spaces through the use of large glass surfaces, often without fixed corner elements, yet without loss in high insulation values, are featured in several of the products on display.
On top of all these innovations, Reynaers also features its Building Information Modelling (BIM) libraries, which enables building project teams and their stakeholders to enhance their combined creative ability. The BIM libraries, which are Autodesk® Revit compliant, include a huge array of Reynaers’ windows, doors, sliding doors and sliding/folding doors solutions.
The Reynaers stand effectively integrates new solutions and technology, being more open and accessible, and featuring higher slim designs to emphasize its ‘Together for Better’ philosophy. It creates a hospitable interactive space where creative partnerships can flourish and where stakeholders in the building process can team up to run the extra mile and to deliver superior state of the art architectural results. This aligns well with its extensions to the head office in Duffel, Belgium, which features a high-tech experience and technology centre. The experience centre has a strong focus on virtual reality, offering digital services to the stakeholders. The extensions to the technology centre host new and state-of-the-art capabilities, both for testing and prototyping. Through a 3D animation model, visitors will already be able to bring a visit to this new Reynaers head office.
With more than 50 years of experience, Reynaers’ display of innovative solutions confirms its thought and technological leadership and its ability to free the mind to fit the needs of market demands. Higher and more transparent designs, coupled with high insulation values and increased home automation enables designers to bring end-users tailor-made solutions with substantially more options and freedom of choice. | 2019-04-25T05:44:43 | https://www.reynaers.com/en/reynaers-set-free-creative-minds-future-building-bau-2017 |
Excite models come with much more kit than the rather basic Explore versions.

To me, this is the ultimate fight. The accident occurred in New York and putting aside whether the deemer applies, you cannot drag the carrier into a NY Court.
“In this action by a provider to recover assigned first-party no-fault benefits, defendant moved to dismiss the complaint, pursuant to CPLR 3211 (a) (8), on the ground that the Civil Court lacked personal jurisdiction over defendant. In several affidavits in support of the motion, defendant’s employees asserted that defendant is a Pennsylvania company, which is not licensed to do business in New York, maintains no offices in New York, has no agents operating out of, or representatives soliciting business in, New York, and does not own, use or possess any real property in New York. Furthermore, defendant argued that it had been held in prior cases that the courts in the State of New York cannot exercise personal jurisdiction over this defendant. Plaintiff opposed the motion with an affirmation by its counsel, who made unsupported assertions that defendant had transacted business in New York by knowingly issuing policies to New York drivers, and that defendant had established an ongoing relationship with defense counsel in New York, thereby subjecting defendant to jurisdiction in New York. Defendant’s attorney asserted in a reply affirmation that the arguments raised by plaintiff had been rejected by this court in Compas Med., P.C. v American Ind. Ins. Co. (47 Misc 3d 134[A], 2015 NY Slip Op 50481[U] [App Term, 2d Dept, 2d, 11th & 13th Jud Dists 2015]). Defendant appeals from an order of the Civil Court entered August 11, 2016 denying defendant’s motion to dismiss the complaint.
I hate ending a post with a categorical statement that does not complete the story. Assume Plaintiff filed an arbitration?
I guess Oleg should put on his Arbitration hat and leave Room 809 in Civil Court, Kings County for this one.
The Court’s abdication of the ability to review administrative awards that are inherently questionable but not “off the charts wrong” is improper. We have three levels here. The first is that the award has support. The second is the award smells bad. The third is the award is “off the charts wrong”.
We all agree the Courts have no business addressing level 1 and must address level 3. It is level 2 that forms the basis of so many appeals. I only suggest that a deeper look at level 2 cases is warranted. The dissent (I did not publish it) did just that.
In my other life, I represent all sorts of people who have been wronged. One of the worst things I encounter when advocating for people who have had their insurance coverage wrongfully disclaimed is the arbitration clause. Imagine having to travel to California to file an arbitration when an insurance carrier abandons you prior to trial in NY because you allegedly violated a condition of the medical malpractice policy? It is reality, and the FAA will not protect you.
This case involves arbitration under Article 75 and a more reasonable standard in deciding whether the arbitration clause may be bypassed. This is a good case – although it has so little to do with no-fault here in NY. But, it is interesting.
(3) The arbitrator, in a decision published on September 10, 2013, noted that Geico had not submitted a declarations page from the policy to confirm the policy limits, and awarded Nationwide the total sum of $22,337.28 ($21,837.28 plus a $500 deductible).
(4) Nationwide sought the remainder, which was granted. Geico objected but lost.
The lesson – reject voluntary arbitration when you sense the policy limits are going to be exceeded.
For all that has been written in assigned first-party litigation, there has been an equal dearth of writing on loss transfer issues. There are plenty of loss transfer cases; just very few of them make it passed Arb forums.
This case was interesting because it involved a loss transfer case brought due to the cv vehicle being insured a passenger policy of insurance yet being used as livery vehicle. While the cv insurance vehicle carrier had the right to disclaim, I am left to assume that knowledge of the true use of the vehicle came after payments were made or denials issued on grounds other than fraudulent procurement. Like many things in life, this leads the carriers into the murky area of intercompany arbitration.
CV insurance carrier notwithstanding insuring vehicle as a passenger vehicle filed (it appears) a demand for loss tranfer on the grounds that it was a for hire vehicle. Without reading the record and looking at the decision from the Court, the Adverse vehicle argued that CV vehicle was a passenger vehicle and had no right to engage in inter-company arbitration. DTG struck out at arb forums, Supreme Court and now at the Appellate Division.
I read through this case. The carrier left out page two of one of the letters (that contain the reimbursement language) and, after the arbitration, sought to include it in its Petition to set aside the arbitration award. The Supreme Court was not impressed and neither was the Appellate Division. But had Unitrin (or counsel) not committed as many errors, the rocket docket rule appeared to be malleable upon a finding of law office failure. I am looking to see how this concept plays out in future cases.
Unfortunately for the provider, AAMG limits reimbursement to $70 an hour. | 2019-04-20T21:16:32 | http://jtnylaw.com/category/arbitrations/ |

A low credit score hampers your ability to get loans and mortgages. When you do take out loans, it often ratchets your interest rate higher than it should be. To avoid these issues, you need a better credit score, and improving it involves more than just paying off loans. If you want to boost your score, you need to know how to remove debts from your reports using these steps.
1. Audit your credit report.
Annually, you have access to one free credit report from each of these three credit reporting bureaus, and in some states, you have the right to receive free reports every time something negative is added to your file. Take advantage of these free opportunities or buy a credit report from each of the three reporting bureaus, Equifax, Experian and Transunion, and carefully audit these reports.
2. Demand proof of your debts.
Your credit reports list the creditor who granted each loan to you, and if the loan has gone to a collection agency, the report has details for the agency as well. Write letters to the relevant collection agency or creditor and demand proof of the debt.
Even if you know that you owe the money, the burden of proof is on the entity demanding the debt — this means the banks, credit card companies, utility companies, phone companies and anyone else who has reported a debt in your name to the credit reporting bureaus must prove it.
Once you send a verification demand to a collection agency, it must stop collection activities until the debt has been verified.
3. Send omission by silence letters to your creditors.
If you have repeatedly and clearly demanded verification of your debts, and the creditors have refused to respond, they are guilty of “omission by silence. This legal phrase essentially means that the creditors’ silence or refusal to verify your debts indicates that the debts do not exist.
4. Send cease-and-desist letters and issue FTC complaints.
Once you have let the agency or creditor know that the debt is not valid, you need to send them cease-and-desist letters. Your letter should detail why the collection activities must halt, and ideally, it should run through the verification attempts and review the claim of omission by silence. If any creditors or collection agencies fail to remove the record and stop collection activities, it’s time for you to contact the Fair Trade Commission (FTC).
The FTC is a consumer protection agency, and with enough complaints, the FTC can shut down a collection agency and freeze its assets. As a result, most collection agencies are not interested in having complaints sent to the FTC, and they will often do almost anything to avoid that.
Erasing debts from your credit reports is an efficient and lasting way to boost your credit score, but writing effective letters requires reasonable knowledge of the law. In particular, you should understand the basics behind the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act (FACTA), and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
To help navigate the process and ensure its success, many consumers turn to a credit repair company — these entities help guide you through the steps listed above as well as taking other measures to improve your credit.

Today marks 400 episodes on Trend Following radio. To celebrate Michael has put together a compilation of Tom Basso interviews. Tom has been on Trend Following Radio four times and his interviews have been among the most popular episodes airing on the show. Michael plays the interviews back to back and throws in a bonus interview at the beginning. The bonus excerpt is a Tom Basso presentation from the early to mid 1990s.
Tom Basso is most famously known as “Mr. Serenity” in Jack Schwager’s “The New Market Wizards”. Now retired from managing client money, Tom was president and founder of Trendstat Capital Management. He became a registered investment advisor in 1980, a registered commodities advisor in 1984, and was elected to the board of the National Futures Association in 1998. | 2019-04-21T06:59:55 | http://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/3966291/height/45/theme/standard/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/tdest_id/113398/ |
On Wednesday, Nov. 11, San Marcos residents are encouraged to join the City of San Marcos for a Veterans Day Ceremony to celebrate and thank the hometown veteran heroes.
Taking place from 12 to 3 pm at Helen Bougher Memorial Park, 1243 Borden Road, the program will celebrate local veterans though a formal military ceremony. A $5 lunch will be provided by Jersey Mike’s followed by a traditional reception with complimentary cake provided by Mission Hills High School and coffee and tea provided by Old California Coffee Company.
The military ceremony will feature the Presentation of Colors by the Camp Pendleton United States Marine Corps and musical performances by Doreen Treadwell and the San Elijo Middle School Jazz Band. Retired Colonel Greg Rassatt, who has served more than 25 years of active duty Army Service including hazardous duty tours in Bosnia and Kuwait, will serve as the Master of Ceremonies.
Each year the program celebrates all veterans while highlighting the wartime experiences across different conflicts. This year’s theme, entitled “Korea: Remembering Veterans of a Forgotten War,” will focus on a conflict that had no full mobilization. Close to 1.8 million members of the American military served in Korea. Of that number, over 100,000 were wounded. Almost 37,000 died in the war theater. Some 8,000 remain MIA.
Three local Korean War veteran guest speakers—Navy veteran Joe Johansen, Marine veteran Joe De Armas, and daughter Mary Borevitz of Marine veteran Arthur Chidester declared missing-in-action—will share their wartime experiences.
Admission to this special event is free but seating and parking is limited so guests are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and carpool. Military veterans and active duty personnel are invited to attend in uniform.
For more information, please visit www.san-marcos.net/veterans or call Communications Officer Sarah Macdonald at (760) 744-1050, ext. 3174. | 2019-04-23T23:54:02 | http://sanelijolife.com/annual-veterans-day-ceremony-returns-to-san-marcos/ |
PendidikanBekam.com - After removing the statment from the results of the assessment and treatment experiences in the world, especially the treatment of bruise or al-hijamah, now Ustadz H. Galih Gumelar new states that have belaiu statmen study for a long time.
Young cleric who is quite popular among medical experts, the previously stated that the bruise has 4 methods or 4 ways: dry cupping, wet cupping, cupping cupping and aggressive skating / extreme.
After all this time just expressed to paseinnya, now Ustadz human aura Hidayatullah pesantren leaders stated that the bruise has four methods of human and divine a method Cupping / Cupping God.
When we had read earlier in the article Ustadz H. Galih Gumelar: Types of Cupping Method increased to 4 in the presence of Cupping Aggressive / extrime , so now what does it mean feat Galih with Cupping divine.
According to him : "cupping we do and we know all this is done by simply cupping is a method of man, then why Allah ordered angel Gabriel to appeal to the Ascension of the Prophet while performing for the people of the Prophet, the people of the prophet Muhammad did hijamah or bruise? "
"When the God who created us and the universe is telling us to berhijamah, what's going on with our bodies?, Without us knowing it was God Almighty to give a blessing, a blessing to us human beings, conscious and unconscious, Allah is well aware all our needs and even our body needs, every body's metabolism will result in a variety of substances released and even the rest of the body or dirt that is not used anymore even able to be poisonous / toxic to our bodies. "
"A real phenomenon and large, that Allah swt has given to the divine Cupping women through menstruation, the women give it all on this earth divine Cupping (period) within which there is no single woman when she'll start getting your period and when she will stop menstruating permanently (menopause). "
"If we do cupping with a variety of tools and equipment, it is enough for God to give divine bruise (period) for a certain period each month. Therefore when the time period that the average woman has the age of 10 years to 45/50 year, female get a bruise divine grace so forsaken of many serious diseases, especially those associated with dirty blood. "
"But if a woman has entered the final menstrual period (menopause) then surely there will be only perceived in tubunya, starting aches, dizziness, severe disease appears and if you have the disease will increasingly feel the disease, in terms of disposal due to the automated blood stopped making monthly gross blood settles in the body. "
"At the time of divine Cupping stop (menopause) is done manually, by cupping the four methods of human bruise, so that every menopausal woman who can throw the dirty blood and avoid diseases that harm the body caused by dirty blood." Even so it is phrased Ustadz H. Galih Gumelar as found in his house. | 2019-04-20T04:55:00 | http://www.iahta.org/2012/06/ustadz-hgalih-gumelar-4-method-1-method.html |

Roger climbed the stairs slowly. As he reached the landing he saw that a door on the left was half open, so that he could see part of a cream wall and the end of a dressing-table littered with small feminine debris. Lust glowed in him as he thought: Rosemary will be sitting up in bed reading, in a flimsy, silk nightgown … He checked his mind, hating it. Damn it, he’d just said good-night to her husband. He walked resolutely past the door towards his own bedroom.
He pushed the door open and walked in. She lay back against pillows, not in a nightgown but in carefully cut silk pyjamas. Her dark hair was braided back behind the clear oval of her face. A book rested on the hollow of her lap; one smooth, small hand marking the place. Verse, he noticed. With the lamp-light shaded on her face, she looked no more than thirty.
She smiled at him enigmatically.
She smiled; that seraphic purity, faintly accented with malice.
Roger sat down carefully beside her. She looked at him critically.
She took his wrist and drew his face towards her own.
He let the last thread of detachment go, and drowned voluptuously in the senses.
Retiring, later, to his own bedroom, he could feel only a confused pain of loathing and disgust. Less than half an hour ago he had been championing, he remembered, the innate goodness of man. Including the goodness of sneaking in to your host’s wife’s bedroom at night. | 2019-04-20T04:17:51 | http://thesylepress.com/damn-it-hed-just-said-good-night-to-her-husband/ |

The all-boys Loyola High School in northwest Detroit, operated by the Jesuit order of Catholic priests, have made a video inviting Pope Francis to visit the Motor City in 2015. It's part of a campaign, endorsed by Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, to invite the pope.
Detroit all-boys Loyola High was started in 1993 by the Jesuits, and Pope Francis is the first member of the Jesuit order of priests to become pope.
The Catholic school in northwest Detroit enrolls about 150 boys, many of whom are of other religious faiths.
The Loyola video is also part of the "Let's Bring Pope Francis to Detroit in 2015" page on Facebook.
Detroit's all-boy Loyola High School is sending out a YouTube video invitation to Pope Francis to stop in Detroit in 2015.
The students, many of whom are not Catholic, look into the camera and ask the leader of the worldwide Roman Catholic faith to visit their 150-student school in northwest Detroit.
"Everybody in our school goes to church every morning," said one student, "and (looks) up to you everyday."
Said another student: "You are exactly what we stand for – Men for Others," referring to a theme of service stressed at many schools run by the Jesuit order of priests.
Loyola, located in what was once St. Francis de Sales school, adds to the list of Detroit Catholic schools who've started a letter-writing and social media campaign to invite the pope to visit Detroit in 2015.
Loyola was started by the Jesuit order of priests in 1993. And students hope their Jesuit affiliation will strike a chord with Francis, who was ordained as a Jesuit priest.
Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan has backed the papal pitch, and Detroit Catholic Archbishop Allen Vigneron has agreed to convey an invitation to Pope Francis through proper Vatican channels.
The campaign to bring the Pope to Detroit began at Cristo Rey High School, in southwest Detroit last May. Cristo Rey students recruited other students at Detroit's Gesu, Holy Redeemer and Holy Trinity Catholic elementary schools to also write letters to Pope Francis.
Loyola High president, the Rev. Mark Luedtke, said the pope has shown an affinity for reaching out to struggling communities, such as Detroit.
"Our school works with young men and families who need a little extra help, who might have struggled in their academic work or not been given the opportunity to succeed. We feel particularly suited to receive the pope," said Luedtke.

Archeological evidence suggests humans have occupied this area for many centuries. Native American Indians lived at sites in the park from about 6,000 years ago until Europeans arrived. They came here for the water and the abundant game, fish and mussels. They were probably ancestors of the Tonkawa, who lived in this region in later times.
The Tonkawa were bands of hunter-gatherers. Besides hunting game and catching fish and mussels in the river, they harvested pecans and walnuts, wild grapes and other local foods.
In the 1700s, Wichita groups migrated south from the high plains into this area. Wichita people built villages of conical huts, hunted buffalo and farmed.
Nomadic bands of Comanche also moved south into Texas about this time. The Comanche were highly skilled horseback riders. One of the largest bands of Comanche, known as “Wasps” or “Honey-Eaters,” rode through present-day Somervell County. They spent winters in this area, grazing their ponies on the grass prairies, protected from the cold north winds by limestone bluffs.
French traders and explorers were likely the first Europeans to travel through this area, also in the 1700s.They traded with and gained the support of the Comanche and Wichita. In part, this was because the French would supply guns and ammunition.
Charles E. Barnard was one of the first permanent Anglo settlers in this area. He and his brother established a trading post in the late 1840s. In the 1850s, pioneers began pouring in, altering this area forever.
In 1860, Barnard bought a tract of land on the Paluxy River, in what would later become Glen Rose. He established a grist mill and store there. Stop by the square to view the statue of Barnard and his wife, Juana Josefina Cavasos, and to read their story.
Removing a trackway from the river.
In 1908, a flood of epic proportions roared down the Paluxy. It washed out all bridges and culverts on the river and scoured the riverbed.
Nearly 20 years later, a fossil collector for the American Museum of Natural History in New York named R. T. Bird saw one of the theropod tracks in a shop in New Mexico. He decided to come to Texas and check out the site. While exploring in the river, he was amazed to discover what looked like sauropod tracks, along with the theropod tracks. The tracks were the first proof that sauropods walked on land.
The 1,587-acre Dinosaur Valley State Park opened in 1972. Its mission: to preserve these valuable dinosaur track sites and to allow people to learn from and enjoy them.
The National Park Service has designated this park as a National Natural Landmark because of the outstanding display of dinosaur tracks.
You can’t miss the models of an Apatosaurus (70 feet) and Tyrannosaurus rex (45 feet) near headquarters. The fiberglass models were on display at the 1964-65 New York’s World’s Fair. The Atlantic Richfield Company donated them to the park in 1970. Read more on From Dinoland to Dino Valley.
Tracks from the park are on display at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and at the Texas Memorial Museum in Austin. You can see a copy of the tracks at park headquarters.

Adopting a dog is a major commitment. Here are a few things to know and consider before bringing that little bundle of destructive energy into your life.
What is the Life expectancy of the breed? You are adopting this dog into your family for their entire life. If a 12 or more year commitment scares you, get a goldfish.
In general, mixed breeds (mutts) have fewer health issues and live longer than pure breed dogs.
Speaking of health issues, read up on possible risk factors or any specific illnesses associated with the breed. This may be your deciding factor for Pet Insurance or not.
Understand your dog breed activity level and need for attention. There is not a one size fits all exercise and attention plan for dogs. Research the breed and ask specific questions about the dog before adoption so you fully understand the commitment that you are making.

This study tests whether the utilization of an electronic breath-hold monitoring device improves breath-hold reproducibility during computed tomographic (CT) scanning. Two cohorts of 40 patients underwent dual-phase abdominal CT scans, either with a breath-hold monitoring device or with the standard breath-holding technique. Two blinded readers measured the differences in diaphragmatic position between phases. There was no statistical difference in diaphragmatic position (P=.14) between the monitored (8.5±11.5 mm) and control (5.6±5.2 mm) cohorts. Ten percent of patients from the monitored cohort had greater than 20 mm of deviation, versus 0%-2.5% for the control cohort. Reproduction of breath-holding position remains challenging, even with a monitoring system. | 2019-04-19T18:51:40 | https://scholars.duke.edu/display/pub759261 |

Several medications approved to treat alcohol and opioid use disorders also appear to reduce suicidality and crime during treatment, reported a study in AJP in Advance.
Researchers examined data for more than 21,000 individuals in Sweden who received treatment with at least one medication for alcohol or opioid use disorder (acamprosate, naltrexone, methadone, or buprenorphine) between 2005 and 2013. The researchers followed the individuals for an average of 7.6 years and tracked suicidal behavior or death from suicide, accidental overdoses, and arrests/convictions. Researchers compared outcomes for individuals while they were in treatment compared with when they were not in treatment.
While rates of illicit opioid use are similar across the United States and Sweden, only 15% to 20% of opioid users in the United States receive treatment, while more than 70% of those in Sweden do, noted author Yasmina Molero, Ph.D., from the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Oxford and colleagues.
Acamprosate: There were no significant differences in suicidal behavior, accidental overdoses, overall arrests, and arrests for violent crime when people received acamprosate treatment compared with periods when they did not.
Naltrexone: People were less likely to accidentally overdose during periods when receiving naltrexone treatment compared with periods they were not (hazard ratio=0.82). However, the medication was not associated with a significant reduction in suicidality or arrests.
Buprenorphine: Buprenorphine was associated with reductions in accidental overdoses (hazard ratio=0.75) and arrests in all crime categories (violent, nonviolent, and substance-related).
Methadone: There were significant reductions in the rate of suicidal behaviors (hazard ratio=0.60) and overall arrests among individuals who received methadone during periods when they were taking the medication compared with when they were not. However, there was an increased risk for accidental overdoses (hazard ratio=1.25). | 2019-04-20T01:06:42 | https://uniad.org.br/interatividade/artigos/item/25838-some-medications-for-alcohol-opioid-use-disorders-may-reduce-suicidality-criminal-behavior |

Excess mortality in depression: a meta-analysis of community studies.
Although most studies examining the relationship between depression and mortality indicate that there is excess mortality in depressed subjects, this is not confirmed in all studies. Furthermore, it has been hypothesized that mortality rates in depressed men are higher than in depressed women. Finally, it is not clear if the increased mortality rates exist only in major depression or also in subclinical depression.
A meta-analysis was conducted to examine these questions. A total of 25 studies with 106,628 subjects, of whom 6416 were depressed, were examined. Both univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted.
The overall relative risk (RR) of dying in depressed subjects was 1.81 (95% CI: 1.58-2.07) compared to non-depressed subjects. No major differences were found between men and women, although the RR was somewhat larger in men. The RR in subclinical depression was no smaller than the RR in clinical depression.
Only RRs of mortality were examined, which were not corrected for important confounding variables, such as chronic illnesses, or life-style. In the selected studies important differences existed between study characteristics and populations. The number of comparisons was relatively small.
There is an increased risk of mortality in depression. An important finding of this study is that the increased risk not only exists in major depression, but also in subclinical forms of depression. In many cases, depression should be considered as a life-threatening disorder. | 2019-04-24T07:11:39 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12450639?dopt=Abstract |

Is the Driftwood Cluster 3 Series DREWNET T9 GH2 hack the best for UAV / aerial film?
Hi folks, I would like to know please if the Driftwood Drewnet T9 hack is the best for the GH2 for filming aerial UAV footage? From looking at the excellent feedback from Drewnet, I believe T9 may be one of the best ... Is it reliable? Will it be good for aerial filming of motocross?
I have a standard 14 - 42mm lens. I have a SanDisk 32GB Extreme Pro 95MB/s mbps card - will this suffice or do I need to buy another 64GB card (also 95MB/s mbps)? Or is the Drewnet T9 hack more than 95mbps?

WEARING: Zara Turtleneck, American Apparel Crew neck Sweater & Tri Blend Leggings, 8 Other Reasons Rings & Alexander Wang Kori Boots.
The obsession for monochromatic looks continues, silver details and this season's over-sized knits are taking to the streets. The weather has cooled down over here and I will have to admit that winter has never felt so good; because I am finally learning to dress for the weather. As far as I am concerned oversized knits are a must for everyone; who would say no to a slouchy sweater on a cold and windy day? Not me, and while you' re at it, throw another sweater on top of it to make it even more cozy. I wore this to meet up for brunch with one of my besties, Kiks who is leaving to go on a life adventure, travelling for the next 8 months with no real destination. Truly happy for her and anyone who takes risks and follows their dreams, whatever the dream may be.
How exciting for your friend! Love this, the knit looks cosy...I definitely need to invest in more!
I think this trend is so cool because it's so effortless!
8 months and no real destination. Go Kiks! I always forget how brutal winters are over there, they so tame down under so I can never really comprehend how cold cold is!
I really like the idea of throwing another sweater on your shoulders. Good luck to your friend!
wow! this is so perfect!
I love the turtle neck style! It looks warm as well!
Great look! I love the booties!

Nvidia is talking a new approach to training AIs in the context of industrial robots. In a first of its kind deep learning-based system, Nvidia researchers led by Stan Birchfield and Jonathan Tremblay have taught a robot to complete a task simply by observing humans complete the task. Once trained, using Nvidia TitanX GPUs, the robot is smart enough not to need every component used in the task to be put in a specific place, for example.
"For robots to perform useful tasks in real-world settings, it must be easy to communicate the task to the robot; this includes both the desired result and any hints as to the best means to achieve that result," explained the researchers. "With demonstrations, a user can communicate a task to the robot and provide clues as to how to best perform the task."
Central to the training of the robot AI is a sequence of neural networks that have been taught to "perform duties associated with perception, program generation, and program execution". Thanks to this, when the robot observes a task in the real-world it was ready to go to duplicate that task - even after just one demonstration.
Looking for issues in the robot's perception is easy thanks to the robot AI generating a human-readable description of the steps necessary to re-perform the task, after it has observed the task being done by a human (example transcript above). The description is easily checked and can be edited to correct observation errors or misinterpretations.
If you watch the three minute video demonstration, above, you can see the robot completing a coloured cube stacking task. Even when it makes an error due to its camera depth estimation, it can recover in real-time as it "takes the current state of the world into account during execution".
It is hoped that this new AI technique for robots will be able to not only make training of robots easier but allow them to work safely alongside human co-workers.
Until colleagues start doing jokes among each other and then it will be a problem.

Caves have served as homes, storage sites, and sacred spaces throughout history. This makes them rich and rewarding hunting grounds for archaeologists. Far from yielding just the occasional odd fossil, caves hold tough-to-crack ancient mysteries, reveal unknown behaviors from the hominid clan, and are sometimes home to the rarest and oldest artifacts. Even legends are found in them.
A cave in Botswana has yielded intriguing artifacts that could have been used in the world’s oldest ritual. First examined in the 1990s, Rhino Cave produced over 100 spearheads in bright colors. Also inside was a python carved from rock. The stone reptile measures 6 meters (20 ft) by 2 meters (6.5 ft) and rests on a crushed wall. Some of the cracks in the cavern were stuffed with quartz chips.
The site clearly held great importance for the San people who used it. The weapon points were delivered, often from a great distance away, and then burned during what researchers believe was python worship practiced around 70,000 years ago, smashing the previous oldest-known rites by 30,000 years. Other scientists feel that more research is needed and even argue that there was no ritual. Yet, throughout the Tsodilo Hills, home to Rhino Cave, rock art shows the San engaged in acts resembling the ceremony. The handling of the spearheads and quartz flakes is previously unknown behavior documented for the first time in Rhino Cave.
A case of hobbit murder might be afoot. Ever since the diminutive hominid Homo floresiensis was documented in 2003, scientists have pondered why they swirled down the extinction drain. Now, a toothy find could clinch the case. Two human molars turned up in 2010 and 2011, respectively, in the Liang Bua cave on Flores. This is the same cave where the only known hobbit remains were excavated years before. The Homo sapiens snappers slightly postdate the hobbits’ final bow, which experts claim happened 50,000 years ago.
Humans already lived in Southeast Asia by then, making an overlap of the two species possible. They might even have interbred or competed for food—although the 1-meter-tall (3 ft) hobbits hardly qualified as opponents. Most likely, the humans obliterated their smaller cousins. There is additional evidence that the arrival of hunter-gatherers wiped out more than H. floresiensis. Several animal species also disappeared from the island around the same time.
The world’s oldest shoe is a perfectly preserved moccasin, despite its 5,500 years. It also led to the world’s earliest winery near the village of Areni. Returning in 2007 to the Armenian cave where the footwear was unearthed, archaeologists found equipment for producing ancient alcohol. There were dried vines, vats for trampling grapes by foot, storage containers for fermenting the juice, and tasting cups. The complete production line is over six millennia old.
The large-scale factory indicates that the grape was domesticated earlier than thought, which is not impossible, considering the location. DNA studies have traced the beginnings of winemaking back to Armenia and surrounding countries. The prehistoric winemakers left their shoes and equipment but no clue as to who they were. Apparently, they kept their dead involved. A cemetery surrounds the site, with drinking vessels around and even inside the graves.
An island near Sweden is wrapped with legends of the dark arts. Removing a rock from Bla Jungfrun will guarantee lifelong bad luck, and the island is best avoided on Easter, because that’s when the witches arrive for some Devil worship.
These ancient beliefs may hold a grain of truth. You might not be cursed for life for stealing a stone or witness a holiday witch convention, but some people once took rituals seriously on Bla Jungfrun. Archaeologists visited the uninhabited island in 2014 and were astonished to find that 9,000 years ago, Stone Age ritualistic activity was rife.
People traveled there specifically to partake in these rituals, and two caves in particular were adapted for this purpose. One contains an altar-type construction to perhaps prepare religious offerings. A fireplace lies in the other, beneath a large hollow hacked from one of the walls. The entrance to this cave offers a theater view of below. Researchers speculate that, together, the blazing fire and the hollow being enlarged was an act viewed by audiences for some unknown reason.
The Promontory culture, forerunner to the Apache and Navajo nations, settled in a cave near Utah’s Great Salt Lake. During excavations in the 1930s and 2010s, an aspect of this mysterious people came to life in magnificent numbers: They loved gambling. Hundreds of gambling aids showed that the Promontory competed with guessing, chance, and physical prowess.
Women’s games consisted mostly of what were essentially dice matches, using split canes marked with burns and playing for low-risk wagers between them. Even so, these were social times, avidly followed by the men, who placed bets. Male games ranged from domestic recreation (such as seeing who could shoot a dart first through a moving hoop) to interactively forging bonds with other tribes.
The Promontory flourished in the late 1200s, while their neighbors faced drought and famine. Gambling while sharing feasts with their neighbors likely created better relations and prevented raids. The rich variety of Promontory games is unmatched in Western North America and could have been the key to their success as a peaceful culture.
The ancient capital of the Nabataeans has a canyon cave complex known as Little Petra, not far from the more well-known Petra. This second site served as a getaway for wealthier citizens. In the main chamber and a connecting compartment awaited a discovery that still shocks scholars since its find in 2007. Wall paintings may not sound like much, but the quality and rarity of these 2,000-year-old Hellenistic scenes shook everyone.
There are no complete artworks bearing this style, leaving almost nothing of the color and composition of the great masterpieces to study. Little Petra’s paintings could change that. Restoration took three years, but what emerged was an exceptional slice of this lost style. Exquisite realism allowed the identification of plants, birds, and insects. Children play flutes, collect fruit, and shoo birds away. The extensive range of colors were made even more luxurious with the addition of gold leaf and glazes. The wall paintings are now considered the best examples of Nabataean art and are the only figurative paintings that survive at Petra.
The Lupercal (or Lupercale) is part of Rome’s intricate past, where legend and history often overlap. It is the city’s most sacred site, since it involves the twin brothers Romulus and Remus. Said to be the founders of Rome, the children were supposedly raised by a she-wolf in a cave known as the Lupercal. In 2007, an Italian team of archaeologists located a cavern 16 meters (52 ft) under the Palatine Hill. Part of it had already collapsed, and the fragility of the site prevented a full-scale excavation, but endoscopes and scanners revealed details about the inside of the grotto.
Decorated with marble and seashells, a round space measures 8 meters (26 ft) high, with a diameter of 7.5 meters (24 ft). The best evidence that this is the Lupercal comes from its location as well as a white eagle insignia within the vault. Emperor Augustus, who died in AD 14, is said to have restored the holy site, situated near his palace, and added such an eagle. Indeed, this grotto lies beneath the ruins of where Augustus once lived.
Neanderthal achievements aren’t bad for a hominid still viewed by many as brainless animals. They produced stone tools, glue, clothing, and jewelry, They used fire and shelters, and there’s evidence that their dead were buried with ritual. Their greatest and most mysterious act came to light in the 1990s. Cave explorers were 300 meters (984 ft) into the Bruniquel cave in France when they stumbled upon strange formations. Almost 400 stalagmites had been used as building material to construct walls. The most extraordinary are two ring-shaped walls, the biggest running 7 meters (23 ft) across and 40 centimters (16 in) high in places.
Building occurred 175,000 years ago, and Neanderthals were the only human branch that lived in Europe during that time. This unique display proves once again that they were more intelligent than is generally accepted. The walls were erected in a place of total darkness, which might explain scorch marks found on the inside, as if hearths burned within. Researchers still don’t know the exact purpose of the stalagmite structures or if building underground was something that Neanderthals normally did.
In 2007, an international team archaeologists was restoring murals at a Nepalese monastery and asked the locals about ancient art in the area. The kingdom of Mustang, once a part of Tibet, has managed to keep its Tibetan and Buddhist heritage unscathed throughout history. This interested the team very much. A shepherd recalled something he’d seen as a child and led them to a cave. After scaling a 3,400-meter (11,200 ft) height to reach the site, the researchers received the treat of a lifetime.
Inside the cavern were 55 untouched paintings showing the life of Buddha. The scenes were full of color and were done by skilled artisans showing a strong Indian influence, rather than Tibetan. At the same time that the 12th- to 14th-century works were discovered, another religious treasure, ancient Tibetan manuscripts, were found in nearby caves. It’s possible that the area was a Buddhist school or retreat. The exact location of the paintings is being kept secret to prevent looters from making off with the rare collection.
Wall carvings discovered at an Egyptian temple in the 19th century showed cargo ships returning from a legendary land called Punt. In 2004, archaeologists found the missing fleet. Eight caves near the Red Sea held the remains of equipment, ships, and a harbor community. Incredibly, the vessels were built to be assembled like puzzles, something nobody had ever done before. From the harbor oasis, Mersa Gawasis, great sea voyages were launched.
When a 20-meter (66 ft) replica was made, the dubious-looking ship was essentially a giant hull without a frame and made from immensely thick wood. Sailing on the Red Sea for weeks, it performed with agility, surfed out a storm, and reached 16 kilometers per hour (10 mph). Perhaps more tantalizing than proving that ancient Egypt was a phenomenal maritime nation is the link between Mersa Gawasis and the mythical Punt. Among the artifacts were stones inscribed with factual-sounding accounts of sailing to Punt.
The harbor was abandoned after four centuries, and everything was sealed up in caves. After 4,000 years, the historic rediscovery includes some of the oldest seafaring ships. | 2019-04-21T04:09:25 | http://listverse.com/2017/02/12/10-fascinating-cave-finds-that-will-blow-your-mind/ |
The Framer team recently changed course with the announcement of a new prototyping tool, Framer X. Lachezar Petkov got to play with it during the beta phase and discusses its brand new features in this article.
The Framer team recently released a new prototyping tool, Framer X, and I was lucky enough to be able to test it during the beta phase. In this article, I’d like to share my thoughts about this new tool and its features. I’ll make a comparison with the “legacy” Framer app as well as other tools, and I’ll discuss its brand new features such as Stacks and Scroll, and its new Code and Design components.
For the purpose of this tutorial, I have also created a prototype which is a Material exploration of the Khan Academy’s app for Android.
Note: I’m in no way affiliated with Khan Academy; I just thought this would make a cool experiment — I hope you’ll agree.
During the beta phase, people wrote some React components that I think show us the potential of how far the tool can take us. For example, you can embed actual media players (that actually stream and play music and video) within your prototypes. Or, you can embed graphs with real-time stock market data. Or how about a component that can translate your prototype’s UI into other languages. And that’s not all: Things are just getting started.
The same React code you write for a Framer X prototype could — at least hypothetically — be used in a production environment after the design phase. This can be especially useful for teams that do a lot of web development in React (and perhaps for teams who write mobile apps in React Native). Personally, I shudder at the thought of me, a designer, writing any code that goes into production, but that might work for others.
If you are already a Framer user, the first thing you’d notice is that the integrated code editor is gone. Instead, if you want to write any code, you can use an editor of your choice. Most people (including myself) seem to go with VS Code.
Opens all the layout and drawing tools everyone’s familiar with (shapes, path, text, frames) as well as three new toys we’ll discuss a little later: Stacks, Link, and Scroll.
Contains, well, the layers of the selected frame, as well as its properties (color, position, border, shadow and so on). This bit is essentially the same as in the old Framer, and very similar to Sketch and Figma.
This is for any Design or Code components you may have in the file you’ve opened.
A new, huge feature in Framer X. It allows users to publish their creations — be it icons and illustrations or interactive code components for others to use. Currently, all components are free of charge, but I’d imagine people will be able to sell their stuff at the store in the future.
The Preview and Live Preview buttons are up at the top right corner. As with legacy Framer, you can preview your prototypes within a device picture for more realism, or preview them directly on an actual device, or in a browser.
The product’s goal is to provide free education for everyone, thus it must be able to run on old and cheap devices. What this means for the design of the prototype is, it has to work on 320dp wide screens.
The design must adapt well when the app is translated into a language more verbose than English.
Something to notify me if there’s a new Mastery Challenge.
Note: Each component is installed per-project.
Awesome! With the underlying work out of the way, I’m ready to increase the fidelity a little bit. First, I want the general style of the app to be soft and welcoming, so I’ll use 4dp (display points) border-radius for my cards and buttons, and the rounded Material icons.
Since having an actual search input is super important for this screen, I don’t want the regular Android App bar and search icon experience. I’ll go for an actual input with a CTA message along with a hamburger icon ala Google Maps.
I won’t do that for the purpose of this article, but I have to say I think something as simple would be easier to do in legacy Framer compared to Framer X — at least in this first version.
Let’s add some basic interactivity to this thing! When I tap on the search input, I want it to pull out a keyboard from the bottom. When I tap on the menu icon, however, I want to pull out a Navigation drawer from the left side.
Whereas in legacy Framer I’d have to write a FlowComponent for this type of thing, it’s now super easy in Framer X and with its new Link tool! It’s similar to other prototyping applications in which I’d select a UI element, link it to a frame, and choose the type of transition I want. I imported the keyboard from the Android Kit component and linked to it from the search input. I set the transition to Overlay and the direction to bottom.
Neat! There is a problem with this approach, though, that the Framer team will hopefully fix. When the transition of a frame is set to Overlay, it covers and dims everything beneath it. This isn’t quite what we want when we prototype for Android: The nav bar and status bar have to be above all other screen elements — including the overlays.
Same goes for the Search interface: I don’t want any screen dimming if I want to have filtering options and/or a list of recent queries when the keyboard is pulled out. Hopefully, we’ll see some fixes for these issues in future Framer X versions.
Once my frames are pinned appropriately, designing responsively is very easy.
I want to add a few more things to the prototype home screen: A Mastery Challenge prompt, a streak counter, list of missions, bookmarks and some UI that allows the user to explore content they might find cool or useful.
Since the recent missions and the bookmarks are going to be cards with very similar content, the best solution Framer X has for me is to use design components. I already mentioned them above (the Material Kit component bundle). Framer X’s design components work similarly to Sketch’s symbols and Figma’s components.
A Master component and its instance: Any changes applied to the Master are applied to the Instance, but not the other way around.
Anything you do to a Master component will affect its instances, but whatever you do to the instances won’t affect the Master. You can also nest Master components and go as crazy as you like.
Each section is a frame, connected to its own scroll component, and populated with components. The text strings (as well as the bitmap images in the instances) are overrides.
I only had to make sure that all items I wanted into a Stack are organized into frames. It works surprisingly well, and you can have components within a stack, as well as a stack within another stack, and so on. It’s huge for anyone mocking up and prototyping lists often!
The drawing tools in Framer X are pretty much the same as in legacy Framer. They’re good enough to do a lot, but still somewhat lagging behind Sketch’s: There are no rulers; you can’t convert strokes to outlines; you can’t flatten shapes; there’s no scissors tool.
Let’s try and use the popular styled-components library. This will allow us to style our component using actual CSS syntax within the .tsx file.
First, go to the Components tab → New Component → from Code. After you name your component and confirm, your default system editor (in my case, VS Code) will open an example Framer X component file.
The library and its dependencies will be added to your package.json and you’re ready to go.
Note that the button label is customizable directly through the Framer X interface (because of the Framer library’s PropertyControls feature). Having my button written in code obviously has many advantages. It is customizable, responsive, and interactive. Along with the responsive paddings, it’s super easy to test if the design breaks in other languages.
You can fork the code of any Store component and edit it as you like. For now, the only way to do this is to right-click on it in the sidebar, copy its code and paste it in a newly created components’ file.
Code Overrides are bits of code (JS functions) that allow you to change any frame’s or component’s properties. Static changes such as color are applied before you run the preview, directly within the Framer app, and the animations/interactions can be seen in the Preview window or on your preview device.
The Scale code override will provide me with a fun scale animation. I can edit it’s code and adjust as I like.
Remember, overrides are just blocks of code, therefore, they can live in any file within your project. What I just selected was the Examples.tsx file which contains multiple functions for Scale, Rotation, Fade, and so on. I can create my own file and write my own Override functions, or include them in my code components source code — just as long as I keep in mind to use the Override type specifier when I export them.
In plain English: Set the initial scale value of the frame down to 0.6, then animate the scale to 1 with spring curve. Finally, export it with name Scale and specify that it is an Override.
Framer X makes it easy to test my designs for different screens.
This is super helpful — I am now aware of what problems my designs have on smaller screens, and I’m ready to come up with fixes for the next iteration!
You can switch the two from the Window menu.
The application performs fast (though the beta choked a little with large project files) and it feels well designed. It’s a new tool, yet at the same time, it feels familiar. It also does give me that sense of it being a ‘design IDE’ and I think the Framer team is taking things in a very interesting direction.
Framer X makes mundane things like linking screens and scrolling fast and easy, as they should be. Though I hope to see even more of that type of thing in the future: prototyping is supposed to be a quick and dirty process, after all. To spend too many hours on a prototype is to miss the point of prototyping.
Having a Components Store is a great idea, and will certainly speed up my design process. I no longer have to spend time hunting down the plugins I need. I can imagine a couple of years from now there will be thousands of components with basically everything I need to put something relatively advanced together — relatively quickly. It may need some moderation in the future, though. I can see people uploading too many simple buttons, each a fork of the other, just because they can.
I like the focus on design systems through the components and the Private Store features. We all know, many teams struggle to collaborate meaningfully and tools like these are an immense help.
What worries me a little is that part of the “super easy playground for experimentation” experience of the original Framer tool is somewhat gone. The new features in X make it very easy to quickly prototype any “standard” feature or screen: you have all you need in the Store. But it is arguably more difficult to explore crazy and weird ideas for custom interactions — at least with this initial product release.
Learning React will be more intimidating to a lot of us, math and logic-impaired designers. For me personally, code reuse is not an option, since none of the projects I’m currently working on are built using web technologies. But even if it was an option, I’m thinking about programming in terms of it being a tool to express my design ideas. I’m not an engineer; using my code for anything but a prototype is not exactly a terrific idea.
I’ll definitely be using Framer X in production, but I can’t see it completely replacing Sketch for me just yet. In my organization, each designer is allowed to use their favorite tool, as long as it integrates with Zeplin, and Framer X doesn’t. Other things it lacks compared to Sketch (for now) are the pages, the crazy amount of plugins, and the more powerful drawing tools.
I will continue to use the original Framer for custom interactions — at least for the foreseeable future. When prototyping, things need to be done fast, and I also still have much to learn about React. | 2019-04-19T23:49:33 | https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2018/10/new-framer-x-initial-impressions/ |

The digital sensor sitting behind the reflex mirror and the lens is the heart of the digital camera. It is here that the magic of photography technology meets light, the be all and end all of all photography. If light is the fundamental aspect of photography. The digital sensor comes in second on that list. It is the same thing as the film in film cameras. With advancement in digital technology and better production processes, it has been made possible to reduce the cost of manufacturing these digital sensors. Thus, we are able to see better, faster, more efficient and affordable digital sensors seeing the light of day. This article is not about the quality of the sensors though, but about their size factor and the associated pros and cons.
For this discussion we shall look at two basic digital sensor sizes – the larger full-frame sensor which mimic the size of the erstwhile 35mm film with a size roughly of 36mm x 24mm and the smaller and more common APS-C sensor. The name APS-C also comes from a film size that was discontinued years ago. Anyways, the APS-C sensor size varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. Nikon e.g., produces an APS-C sensor, typically used in the Nikon D7200, which measures 23.5mm x 15.6mm. Canon produces an APS-C sensor, typically used in a camera like the EOS 7D Mark II, which measures 22.4mm x 15mm.
There are advantages and disadvantages in the use of both these sensor sizes (full-frame and APS-C) and in this discussion we shall look at a few of them. The first and the most obvious advantage is that a larger sensor size increases the amount of light that is gathered. More light is better in a number of ways. More light ensures that a properly exposed image is possible even when shooting in low light situations. Thus, you could avoid shooting at the maximum aperture or at a high ISO at all times.
Let’s say that you are shooting after dark portraits and want to capture the twinkling street lights and the general ambience of the place using a small aperture. With a small sensor and therefore reduced light gathering, you cannot do that unless you increase the ISO. But increasing ISO would expose your images to noise. With a larger sensor, and therefore increased light gathering, you can shoot with a small aperture, get a large depth of field and yet avoid shooting at a small ISO.
Increased surface area of the sensor, with the resolution remaining the same, also means an enhanced physical size of the individual pixels that make up the sensor. Each pixel represents a photo-diode. The task of that photodiode is to capture light, convert the photons into electronic signals and then transfer these signals to the image processing unite inside the camera for further processing into a JPEG image. If the surface area of the sensor becomes small, the individual size of that pixel becomes small as well. Smaller the pixel, smaller is its light gathering capabilities and increased associated noise. A fundamental truth of sensor size, thus, is that if the resolution is the same, increasing the sensor size produces cleaner imagery.
Tonal range denotes the individual degrees of change in light from the brightest to the darkest areas of your image. That means an image with a greater tonal range translates into that you can see a wider variations of tones across the brightest and the darkest areas of the image. An image with a greater tonal range looks sharper and more contrasty than one where the histogram appears skewed either left, right or middle.
Smaller sensors have a lower tonal range compared to large sensors. Tonal range is often a touchy subject in photography. Now that we have cameras with built-in HDR modes. HDR stands for high dynamic range, a style of shooting where a composite image produced by merging two or more images that are shot using different exposures to show a dynamic range impossible in a single capture.
Lenses that are designed for a larger full-frame camera, when mounted on a smaller APS-C camera would produce an effect that is sometimes referred to as ‘crop factor. Let’s understand in deeper details how this really affects your images.
A full frame camera, as you can imagine, has a larger sensor, significantly larger than a crop sensor. Lenses which are designed for these sensors thus, have a larger image circle. When you mount the same lens on a smaller crop sensor camera a significant portion of the image coming through the lens is not recorded by the sensor at all. That portion of the ‘image’ which falls outside the area of the sensor is actually wasted. If you look at the resulting image, it would appear as if the image is slightly ‘zoomed-in’. In reality, however, it is not. The image simply have been cropped in camera because as explained above, the entire image is not being used by the smaller sensor.
This has some advantages. The prime advantage is that with smaller sensors you can multiply the focal length of your full-frame lens. Nikon APS-C (also referred to as DX cameras) have a crop factor of 1.5. Whereas Canon APS-C cameras have a crop factor of 1.6x. Thus, a sharp 50mm f/1.8 lens becomes a 75mm (or 80mm depending on the crop factor of the brand of camera that you are using) f/1.8 lens. The longer the focal length of the lens in question, the better it is. Thus, the focal length of a 70-200mm lens will become 105-300mm (or 112 – 320mm depending on the crop factor of the camera system).
Sensor sizes will affect the depth of field of the image produced. Larger the size of the sensor, shallower is the depth of field and vice versa. That means if you shoot with the same lens, from the same spot and the same camera settings, you are going to get a shallower depth of field with a larger sensor compared with a smaller sensor. The advantage is that with a small sensor camera you can get more of the scene to be acceptably in focus. On the other hand when you need to capture a lot of background blur the larger sensor is the better choice.
It is however, possible to capture the exact same image with the same depth of field with two different camera / lens systems. This is provided you know how much to tweak the settings so that the focal length and the aperture difference is equalized. Let’s say that you are shooting with an APS-C camera with a crop factor of 1.5x, with a 60mm lens set to f/8. To get the exact same depth of field on a full frame DSLR, you will need to shoot with a 40mm (60/1.5) lens set to around f/5 (8/1.5).
Most definitely, a reference to depth of field brings us to the next point of difference and that is field of view. With increasingly smaller sensor size, the field of view will become increasingly smaller. This is because smaller the sensor size, more of the image it will crop out.
A larger sensor can ‘see’ more of the scene than a smaller crop sensor. When making landscape, architecture and other scenes, a larger sensor is a much better proposition than a crop sensor. You can make full use of an ultra-wide angle lens mounted on a full-frame sensor than if you mount the same lens on a smaller crop sensor. | 2019-04-25T10:08:38 | http://www.camcorderchris.com/sensor-size-pros-cons/ |
Just got my Vodafone TV box but it's useless. It has to connect to my router but my router is in another room with the phone connection and the cables aren't long enough. Even if they were I wouldn't want long cables running across the walls or floor. Very limiting device and a waste of time. Why can't it connect via wifi as I have broadband?

Is Hillary Clinton hearing the ghosts of primaries past?
A lot’s changed for Hillary Clinton since her last go-around in the primaries. She won the Iowa caucuses this time (by a hair), which she lost to Barack Obama in 2008. And while she beat Obama in New Hampshire in 2008, she’s predicted to lose to Bernie Sanders tonight.
As politics becomes increasingly personalized, swing voters aren’t interested in policy debates, so they vote for the candidate with whom they feel the greatest emotional connection.... Hillary Clinton’s candidacy is based not on a bottom-up community organizer’s sense of hope but on a top-down progressive’s sense of entitlement. | 2019-04-19T12:31:17 | https://newrepublic.com/minutes/129535/hillary-clinton-hearing-ghosts-primaries-past |
MySQL :: Does Mysql Date Partition can be created on date time for every day???
Does Mysql Date Partition can be created on date time for every day???
I want row table in mysql with date partition.
1. Date partition must be on each date.
Ex : If i have one year records in table Number of partition must be 366/365. If i want to keep same partition for 2 year then number partition will be 366+366.
2. i don't want to write 366/365 date partition statement while creating table.
* When i gone through mysql partition document, it suggest create partition we have to specify each date.
3. If i use MYSQL list partition whether it will help?? is there any restriction on number of partition on table?
Is this possible in MYSQL?
Note : I have gone through mysql partition concepts. Please suggest suitable partition for above scenario.

With summer in full swing, temperatures are heating up outdoor and indoor environments. Keeping your equipment cool can be just as important as employee and customer comfort, especially when your operations depend on your equipment’s performance. Knowing the best ways to prevent equipment from overheating will keep things running smoothly.
Sometimes, cooling down can simply mean switching on a few fans. Small and large spaces can benefit from air circulation, especially when used in conjunction with an air conditioning system. Identify areas that tend to build up the most heat and position circulatory units to distribute the heat.
Air conditioning is a popular and effective method for keeping environments and equipment cool. It’s important however to remember that air conditioning for humans or “comfort AC” is not the same as air conditioning for equipment, as it doesn’t not regulate humidity. Condensation can form on machines and static electricity can build up if humidity levels are not maintained at a safe level. Invest in a specialized system that it made specifically for equipment temperature control.
Cooling racks come in a variety of styles and sizes for different types of equipment and machinery. These can be an extra addition to enhance air ventilation and other cooling systems and can be very cost-effective.
Machines running on standby, whether that’s computers or manufacturing equipment, can produce unneeded heat. Turn off machines and appliances whenever possible to save energy and reduce temperatures.
Regardless of the methods you use, make sure that you are consistently monitoring temperatures at all times. Even sophisticated systems should be double-checked to avoid damages that can result from overheating. Don’t leave your valuable equipment unprotected from heat waves this summer!

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump's biggest claims on key foreign policy issues from North Korea to Islamic State were undercut on Tuesday — by his own national security team.
White House officials have been calling their friends at The Washington Post to let them know Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats "has gone rogue" over comments he made at the Aspen Security Forum on Thursday.
A confidential U.S. intelligence report reviewed by The Washington Post concluded that North Korea had made a breakthrough and could now build nuclear bombs small enough to fit on missiles. | 2019-04-24T02:52:05 | https://taskandpurpose.com/tag/intelligence-community/ |

NuMedica ProstaCalm is an advanced formula that combines select nutrients and herbal extracts that are known to support the prostate gland. With its unique blend of amino acids, this formula has been proven in clinical trials to enhance prostate health and promote normal urinary function. Each ingredient plays an important role in complementing prostate health, making this one of the most effective natural prostate support supplements on the market today.
NuMedica ProstaCalm features ingredients like saw palmetto that enhance prostate health. Saw palmetto supports urinary and prostate function by promoting healthy testosterone metabolism. With reduced testosterone levels, men may experience fewer unpleasant prostate symptoms.
The ingredient Pygeum africanum, a type of African plum tree, has been shown to alleviate symptoms of BPH (benign prostate hypertrophy) by helping to eliminate inflammation in the prostate area and decrease hormones that can contribute to BPH symptoms.
The inclusion of pumpkin seed in NuMedica ProstaCalm provides healthful essential fatty acids that promote hormone metabolism in prostate cells. According to studies, pumpkin seeds have compounds known as phytosterols that help to shrink the prostate; an enlarged prostate is associated with BPH. In fact, in many countries, young men are encouraged to get into the habit of eating pumpkin seeds to help protect their prostate later in life.
NuMedica ProstaCalm also contains lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that complements healthy prostate tissue. Other natural ingredients like zinc play a role in proper prostate function.

Border Crossing Costa Rica to Nicaragua by Boat – Most tourists who are travelling in Costa Rica also want to visit other Central American countries. Nicaragua, the land of volcanos and lakes is one popular option. While most people cross the border in Peñas Blancas I choose the more adventures option.
At 5:30 in the morning I take the bus from the Bus Terminal de San Carlos in San Jose to Los Chiles. The bus drive takes about five hours and costs 2.100 Colones (about $4). Los Chiles is the most northern town of Costa Rica, located at the Rio Frio.
From the bus stop in Los Chiles I go straight to the government house, past some small shops and sodas and a soccer field in midtown. The town is rather small and I arrive at the office within a few minutes.
Against the “normal” border crossing with long waiting lines and lots of paperwork it is immediately my turn. I fill out the immigration form, hand it over to the officer together with my passport and within a few minutes I have my exit stamp.
From the office I go down the road to the small port of departure. Here are already 20 people, mainly Nicaraguan waiting for the next boat to San Carlos in Nicaragua. The boat ticket for the one hour drive costs $11.
So far everything went quite easy and also the boat tour feels more like an adventure tour than a border crossing. During the drive through the jungle I see lots of birds, hear howler monkeys and enjoy an amazing landscape.
During the boat tour you can enjoy an amazing landscape on the riverside and see lots of birds and other animals.
The actual border between Costa Rica and Nicaragua is not more than a pole and a sign. We only stop at a small military outpost. A group of three very friendly soldiers has a quick look at us and we can continue our way. No controls, no endless waiting lines. We do not even need to leave the boat. Soon we arrive the Lake Nicaragua, the largest lake in Central America. I can see already the port of San Carlos.
The boat stops in front of the arrival terminal. I say goodbye to the boat driver and get welcomed by very friendly border officials. I fill out the immigration form and pay $14 arrival tax. After a small talk with the official I am in San Carlos, Nicaragua. Wow, what an easy and fun border crossing!
Before I continue my way I walk around in San Carlos. Clarisa, a local girl from San Carlos who I got to know on the boat gives me a small sightseeing tour in her town. It is a quiet place with nicely coloured houses right on the lake. In the centre there is a playground and a small church. On the hill behind the park is a small fort that defended the town in the past from pirates.
Normally border crossings are pretty stressful and a rather unpopular part of travelling. A part that is unavoidable. This border crossing however was the first highlight of my trip trough Nicaragua. When you have enough time and do not mind travelling a bit further to the next big town I definitely recommend choosing this border instead of the main border in Peñas Blancas.
From Peñas Blancas you can arrive within short time all popular places like San Juan del Sur, Rivas Granada and Managua. However the border crossing is stressful, you have to wait in line and is way more complicated.
COMMENT: What was your most adventures border crossing?
Thank you for this information. My husband and I will do this exact process next week. Are there any other boats that cross the border or is the only one in Los Chiles?
Hi Linda! I am very sorry for my late response. Did you already start your trip? As far as I know the only boat is going from Los Chiles, but I am not 100% sure.
Yeah I agree this is the only boat..And I love that trip every time I do it!
Thank you for sharing! Very helpful info to me right now! | 2019-04-25T10:20:29 | https://www.universal-traveller.com/border-crossing-los-chiles-costa-rica-to-san-carlos-nicaragua-by-boat/ |

Life is motion. We never stop. We open doors and move forward. We learn, relearn and change. We nod to every possibility and see where it takes us. The future is in our hands. We are working on it now, right?
Life if simple. We insist on living it this way. We are raw, bold and straightforward. We believe that less is more and we are always up for more.
Life in unique. Each person has their own story to tell. We try to listen and hear; believe in power of individuality. We are all here, we are all special, we all make the difference.
Life is beauty, eh? We try to see it, love it, be grateful for it. Inspiration is everywhere: autumn bike rides, damn-good burgers, walking barefoot, grins and giggle… We look on the bright side and aim to make it even brighter. | 2019-04-25T06:37:20 | https://www.outcrowd.io/our-team |

It seems ?T-Mobile USA isn’t backing away from Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA)?. I questioned company’s commitment to this technology, which gives them a unique leg-up over their rivals in terms of network coverage. In mid-September, a spokesman categorically told me that the company didn’t have any plans for UMA on Android (s goog).
It’s not very clear which Android devices will support the calling, apart from the new T-Mobile myTouch and Motorola DEFY (s mot). (I’m waiting to hear back from T-Mobile PR.) From what I understand, the Smart WiFi App from Kineto cannot be downloaded from the marketplace, mostly because it only works on specific versions of Android.
The Android app-based UMA offering is very different from the UMA offering on BlackBerry (s rimm) devices or the Nokia E73 (s nok). The BlackBerry devices have system-level integration, where the device automatically switches to and off the Wi-Fi network in the background. That seamless switching is one of the main reasons why T-Mobile sees 40 million calls over Wi-Fi every month.
The new app-based UMA has one advantage: It will go easy on the device battery. The chip-level integration often meant that the phones would ping-pong between Wi-Fi and regular cellular networks, causing the phone battery to drain faster than normal.
Wi-Fi Calling for Android is built upon the same technology as UMA, but is a different implementation from our past offerings. While T-Mobile’s current Wi-Fi Calling solution which operates on BlackBerry smartphones, for instance, seamlessly hands off calls from T-Mobile’s network to Wi-Fi networks, Wi-Fi Calling for Android does not.
A pre-installed application from T-Mobile will allow customers to make and receive voice calls and SMS over an accessible Wi-Fi connection. This provides customers with better in-door coverage and in some cases may provide the ability to make voice calls in locations where they weren’t able to do so previously.
For consumers, Wi-Fi Calling for Android increases coverage and uses voice minutes. [NOTE: calls originate on Wi-Fi, but are carried across T-Mobile’s network once beyond the initial Wi-Fi connection.] T-Mobile also has plans for business which can help defer wireless minutes and provide cost savings.
Wi-Fi Calling will be available on the new T-Mobile myTouch, Motorola DEFY and others Android phones in the coming weeks. We are planning to expand Wi-Fi Calling for Android to as broad a selection of Android devices in our line-up as possible. Éclair (2.0/2.1) and Froyo (2.2) are the Android OS versions that currently support it.
I’m waiting for wi-fi calling/video-callinng by default in Android Gingerbread. | 2019-04-23T22:26:26 | https://gigaom.com/2010/10/06/uma-t-mobile-android/ |

There was excitement and delight last night as The Atlantic Hotel learnt that it had retained its highly prized AA Four Red Star and AA Four Rosette ratings, confirming its position as one of the very best establishments in the UK and Ireland. It was great news all round, as sister restaurant Mark Jordan at the Beach also secured Two AA Rosettes for the third year in a row.
Hotel owner Patrick Burke attended the glittering ceremony at the Grosvenor House Hotel on Park Lane, where Fiona Bruce, broadcast journalist, newsreader and television presenter announced the prestigious awards.
Attended by world-renowned chefs, prominent hoteliers and restaurateurs, the AA Hospitality Awards is a highlight in the industry calendar. Over the course of the evening, the event recognises and rewards the excellent service provided by the very finest establishments. Following a champagne reception, this year guests enjoyed a fabulous gourmet dinner created by Tom Kerridge, current AA Chefs’ Chef of the year.
The Atlantic Hotel’s Ocean Restaurant is one of very few hotel restaurants to be honoured with four AA Rosettes or above and its commitment to all round excellence is demonstrated by the fact that it is one of only a handful in the country to have received the dual award of four AA Red Stars and four AA Rosettes. | 2019-04-24T07:58:35 | https://www.theatlantichotel.com/news/the-atlantic-hotel-once-again-regains-exceptional-dual-four-red-star-and-four-rosette-ratings |
Here is a poem written for My Albino Squirrel.
I have a friend, It is a squirrel. It�s fur is soft, And as white as pearl.
When winter comes, His fur turns grey. Oh how I wish, The white would stay.
He hops and jumps, And runs with grace. Some people say, He�s a disgrace.
The Albino�s nice, He�s really sweet. He only eats nuts, And refuses meat.
My friend and I, Play and drink pop, Until he gets tired, And has to stop.
I walk my friend home, Because it�s really late. Then we agree to meet, on another date.
I guess it�s true, He is quite odd, But he as well, Was made by God. | 2019-04-21T01:06:55 | http://www.angelfire.com/az/albinoman/albino4.html |

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Individuals from Six Nations Interrupt Work on Enbridge Site!
Individuals from Six Nations and their allies have interrupted work on a section of Enbridge’s Line 9 pipeline. The work stoppage began around 10am this morning. Individuals involved asked workers to leave, asserting that the land is Haudenosaunee territory guaranteed under the Haldimand deed, and that Enbridge’s workers were present without consent or consultation.
“Meaningful consultation isn’t just providing information and going ahead without discussion – it’s giving the opportunity to say no and having a willingness to accommodate.” says Missy Elliot.
“Enbridge left a voice message on a machine with one person. That’s not meaningful – it’s not even consultation.” Emilie Corbeau, there in support of Six Nations points out.
Those involved intend to host an action camp on site, filling the time with teach-ins about Six Nations history, indigenous solidarity and skill shares centering on direct action.
The group states that they’ve tried the other processes available to them and here out of necessity. “We’ve tried pursuing avenues with the NEB, the township and the Grand River Conservation Authority. Our concerns were dismissed. What other choice do we have if we want to protect our land, water and children?” Missy Elliot of Six Nations asks.
Under bill C-45 the section of the Grand River adjacent to the Enbridge work site and pipeline is no longer protected. Approximately half a million people rely on drinking water provided by the Grand River.
“This is a continental concern. It’s not just a Six Nations issue or an indigenous issue. We share the responsibility to protect our land and water as human beings.” Elliot states. | 2019-04-18T16:51:12 | http://noline9wr.ca/node/33 |

LJUBLJANA (Reuters) - Slovenia’s special prosecutor’s office indicted 15 people, including eight physicians, and a company over graft in hospitals on Monday in a case that threatens to further shake the troubled health sector in the tiny Alpine country.
An indictment was filed against 10 hospital employees for receiving gifts related to the purchase of medical equipment and medicine.
Two of the 10 were charged with money laundering and one with forging or destroying business documents to conceal evidence, the state news agency STA reported.
Three more people were accused of giving bribes and a further two others for money laundering, the STA said.
The prosecutors said their investigation since 2013 in five cities in Slovenia, including the capital Ljubljana, has revealed that suppliers of medical equipment had offered bribes to doctors and other hospital officials to favour them.
The prosecutor’s office said that these criminal acts had caused 1.18 million euros ($1.36 million) losses to public funds, STA reported.
The state of the national health system was a big campaign issue ahead of an election in June because of long waiting-lists for medical examinations and operations and a shortage of money and staff. | 2019-04-22T22:33:24 | https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-slovenia-healthcare-fraud-idUKKBN1KR1Y9 |
January 14, 2019 – The most critical driver for consumers’ adoption of autonomous vehicles, above technological advancement and adequate investment, is coherent national regulation amid consumer safety concerns. That’s according to a new survey of automotive and technology leaders and state and federal regulators by global law firm Perkins Coie LLP and the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI), the world’s largest nonprofit organization devoted to advancing the unmanned systems and robotics community.
Those surveyed clearly see the potential to increase convenience and reduce traffic incidents that stem from further development of autonomous vehicle technology. And while survey respondents are focused firmly on consumers’ perceptions regarding safety, no clear majority of respondents agree on which regulatory authority should be responsible for overseeing liability issues amid the current patchwork of federal, state and local rules.
Liability concerns ranked first among the challenges that industry leaders and regulators believe could impede the driverless-car market, just slightly ahead of consumers’ safety perceptions. Respondents also see an urgent need for infrastructure, such as smart signs, traffic lights and merge lanes, to make roads shared by fully autonomous, semi-autonomous and traditional cars safe for everyone.
With the market for driverless cars projected to grow to as large as $7 trillion by 2050, respondents see multiple investment opportunities as equally attractive and urgent. Vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication technology, 5G technology and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems were seen as the most enticing investments, followed closely by precision mapping and location technology.
“This survey shows a young industry with tremendous potential and understandable growing pains as technology shapes the future of transportation,” said Brian Wynne, President and CEO of AUVSI. “Lawmakers, consumers and regulators alike should embrace the advantages of the future AV era as we work to resolve early-cycle challenges in the years ahead.
A majority – 54 percent – of industry respondents said they would rather see regulation come from the federal level. This reflects the difficulty automakers anticipate in achieving widespread adoption of AVs without a broad and coherent regulatory framework.
All survey respondents – technology and automotive executives as well as regulators – saw the possibility of reducing vehicle accidents as the most important benefit of AVs. More survey respondents selected reduced traffic accidents as the greatest benefit to consumers than all other options combined.
