Home Healthcare Students Get Instant, Expert Care with Telemedicine in Schools
Students Get Instant, Expert Care with Telemedicine in Schools
By Charlotte T. -
Imagine if your child's school nurse had the resources of a fully staffed hospital emergency room at their disposal. Every cut, sting, break, fever, asthma attack, and upset stomach could be assessed and diagnosed within minutes. There would be no more vague requests for you to come and take your sick child to a doctor, no need to panic about what could be wrong as you disrupt your day to go pick them up.
It is possible with video conferencing. More accurately, it is possible with telemedicine, which is the use of video conferencing to make medical services available online. And it doesn't take any great technological revolution for telemedicine in schools to be available today. Most of our schools are equipped with internet connections and webcams capable of making the necessary connection, and many hospitals, medical specialists, and even family doctors are already using telemedicine.
In fact, it may not be long before virtual medicine like this becomes a normal part of school life, just like social studies and lunchboxes.
Nursing by Video Conference
This change is already happening in Pender County, North Carolina. For the past six years, three schools in the district have been linked with remote medical providers by video conference under a program operated by the non-profit Pender Alliance for Teen Health, or PATH. The system provides students with near-instant access to medical aid during school hours and has been extended to include parents and staff members. The service is open to students regardless of whether they have private insurance, and it can accommodate both emergency and scheduled visits. The service is more than just a visual experience, too. The schools each have access to handheld medical equipment that allows healthcare professionals to remotely examine a patient's heart, lungs, ear canal, temperature, and more.
With the help of the school nurse or a trained member of staff, a student can undergo a complete medical examination without ever having to leave the school grounds. It provides a quicker diagnosis in the case of an accident or sudden illness, and scheduled visits mean parents don't have to take time out from work so that their children can receive regular, routine attention.
What's more, Pender is just one example of the growing use of telemedicine in U.S. schools.
Telemedicine in Schools Is Growing
A similar program, called Health-e-Access, has been operating in Rochester, New York, since 2001. Designed by the University of Rochester Medical Center, the program is now offered in all 37 of the city's elementary schools.
Elsewhere, the Children's Health System in Dallas has conducted around 4,000 virtual doctor visits across 97 Texas schools over the past five years.
Nationwide, 18 states have authorized Medicaid reimbursement for school telemedicine use, and 28 states require private insurers to cover telemedicine visits the same way they do traditional in-room consultations.
In some cases, the kind of treatments offered have moved well beyond basic care for playground accidents or routine check-ups. VC Daily has previously reported on the use of telemedicine to screen for symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), color blindness, speech disorders, and hearing problems. There are also trials underway among a group of prestigious Texas universities to provide mental health support to students via online therapy sessions.
These initiatives aren't designed like smartphone apps to cash in on the trend for all things digital. Rather, they can have a profound impact on the health of students.
Why We Need Telemedicine in Schools
It says something about our society that 94% of public school districts have a high-speed broadband internet connection but only about 40% of schools have a full-time nurse. It doesn't take a great feat of insight to see how video conferencing and telemedicine fit into that equation.
Telemedicine removes the delays and dangers associated with having to physically transport a student for the sake of diagnosis.
As the Pender case proves, you don't need a medical expert in-house if you have access to the right telemedicine equipment. Staff members could be given the same sort of training in how to use digital equipment as they are given so they can understand the basics of first aid. In some respects, it's the same process. In each case, the teacher applies immediate care until professional help arrives. In the case of telemedicine, they'd be acting under the instant supervision of that professional, operating the equipment to provide a first-hand assessment of what is happening.
Video conferencing saves time, money, and travel, and when it comes to healthcare those are key considerations. Telemedicine provides an instant link to emergency care; it offers that service at the cost of a webcam and an internet connection, and it removes the delays and dangers associated with having to physically transport a student for the sake of diagnosis.
The system is too efficient, and the momentum behind it too great, for telemedicine to remain a rarity in our schools.

London (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Horizonte Minerals Plc, (AIM: HZM, TSX: HZM) ('Horizonte' or 'the Company'), the nickel development company focused in Brazil, is pleased to announce that it has been awarded the construction licence for the development of its 100% owned Araguaia Ferronickel Project ("Araguaia" or "the Project") in Brazil. The award of the Construction Licence, Licença de Instalação ("LI") in Portuguese, was granted by SEMAS, the Brazilian Pará State Environmental Agency ('SEMAS').
Air, noise and water monitoring – ongoing as part of base line data build up into the construction and operational phase.
Over US$280 million in employee and contractor wages.


A net sales growth of 8.6 percent may not sound like a huge number — until you realize that equates to 65.1 billion yen ($542.5 million). Yamaha is off to a great start for 2015.
The Yamaha FZ-09 started Yamaha's string of successful new releases. Photo by Brian J. Nelson.
Yamaha has been on a hot streak the past several years, releasing five all-new models in the U.S. market, each of which was received with reviews ranging from moderately positive to stellar. The FZ-09, the first of the bunch, shook up the sport naked genre with its performance and low price, pushing the other Japanese motorcycle manufacturers to come up with their own alternatives.
The FZ-07 was rated bike of the year by multiple sites, and is the base for Yamaha's upcoming retro standard. The FJ-09 improved on the FZ platform and is one of the best upright sport-tourers on the market. The R3 is a strong competitor in the sub-400 cc sport bike class, and the new YZF-R1 brought higher levels of race-style electronic rider aids to the street.

So, it comes as no surprise that all of these fantastic bike releases have led to a bump in sales and profits for the piano company. Yamaha reported that global net sales for the first half of 2015 were 821.1 billion yen. This is 65.1 billion yen more than for the same period last year and represents 8.6 percent growth.

Yamaha stated that the newest models, the YZF-R1 and FJ-09, played large roles in the motorcycle division's sales increase of 36.8 billion yen, or 7.6 percent, to a total of 518.2 billion yen. Motorcycle sales in North America grew 28 percent, while European sales grew 14 percent.

You can watch a video of the Yamaha announcement here.
The big question to me is how Yamaha and the rest of the industry will respond. I would love to think that Yamaha will inspire the other brands to make smarter and better bikes, filling more of the holes in the current offerings rather than competing in existing spaces. Yamaha's new retro-inspired FZ-07, the Yamaha XSR700, should be another hit along those lines.
Our review of the all-new Yamaha YZF-R1 is coming soon! Photo by Scott Sorenson.
Let's hope the other Japanese brands kick into high gear and attempt to really compete.

Sandwell Hospital giving patients dinners on unsterilized plates
Sandwell Hospital in the West Midlands have been serving dinners on unsterilized plates and non-important foods are having to be served on disposable plates. Meals have to be served on proper plates which have not been sterilized. The machine used to sterilize the plates has been broken down since Monday the 11th of March 2013 and it is not likely to be up and running until early next week at the earliest. Is it any wonder viruses and filth are rampant in NHS hospitals.

Indian Pilots Get Their Hands on Indian Hawks
Shiv Aroor Jun 29 2007 8 25 am
Just got this BAe release, with this photo:
Indian Air Force pilots have, for the first time, got their hands on the Hawk aircraft that will train the next generation of Indian pilots.
As part of the contract to supply a total training solution, which includes 66 Hawk Advanced Jet Trainer (AJT) aircraft, BAE Systems and the RAF will deliver a 'Convex Flying Programme' converting Indian Air Force (IAF) qualified flying instructors and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) test pilots onto the new Indian Hawk. Two courses of six IAF flying instructors will undergo training on the Indian Hawk between June and September this year.
Once the first Hawks have been delivered to the Indian Air Force later this year, these instructors will be responsible for training pilots who will be the IAF's frontline pilots.
The first stage of the programme is ground school training, carried out at RAF Valley by BAE Systems specialists. The IAF instructors will also carry out five UK orientation simulator sorties on the Hawk Synthetic Training Facility (HSTF) located at the RAF base, delivered in partnership by BAE Systems and the RAF.
Following this stage the instructors return to the BAE Systems Warton site to carry out sea survival training and the BAE Systems Brough site for avionics training before commencing their flying training at Warton. Each IAF instructor will fly 15 training sorties on the new Indian Hawks before qualifying.
Rod Harrison, Hawk India Flying Training Manager, said: "We have been training 75 IAF student pilots throughout the course of the India Interim Flying Training programme, which concludes in May 2008. These pilots have been training on the RAF TMk1 Hawks. This next stage of flying training sees experienced instructors introduced to their new Indian Hawk AJTs.
"It's an exciting step forward for the pilots and by training on the world's leading advanced jet trainer the pilots couldn't be better prepared for frontline aircraft."
Three aircraft are being used in the training programme out of the 66 new Hawk Advanced Jet Trainers for the IAF. The first 24 aircraft are being built at BAE Systems' facilities in Brough, East Yorkshire, with flight-testing taking place at Warton in Lancashire. The remaining 42 aircraft are being manufactured under licence in India through a partnership with India's Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, based in Bangalore.

<i>Jim Hopkins:</i> Dodgy science gets us all off the hook
Most people know the adage, "Where there's muck, there's money", either because they read it in one of Professor Ihimaera's novels or because they saw it later, daubed on the walls of a 19th century colliery.
In any setting, it's a shrewd observation and credit belongs to its author(s). But whilst it's true that "Where there's muck, there's money", the merest pause will confirm the opposite also applies; "Where there's money, there's muck".
We've seen two examples of monetary muckiness recently. In one case, already touched upon, an author embellished his text with words that weren't his own - a hanging offence for students writing a thesis but not, apparently, so grim for those who teach them.
The other concerns a gaggle of Newton's heirs, scientific geezers beavering away, recording data, analysing statistics and reporting only what is provable and true.
Except these crooks haven't. They've cooked the books. They've lied.
They've falsified the facts to induce needless panic and alarum in the bosoms of the groundlings. Along the way, they've blackened the reputations of others who challenged their conclusions, whilst earning for themselves great renown and large amounts of dosh.
There's supposed to be an absolute rule in science: if the facts don't fit the theory, the theory must be wrong. But these beneficiaries of massive research grants have adopted a more creative approach. In their world, the First Law of Prestige and Avarice applies; when the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts.
There's nothing new about scientific frauds. The Piltdown Man was a con. For years, English education policy was influenced by the results of a study of identical twins, adopted and reared in different homes. Until someone discovered the study's author had made almost all of it up. (Give that man a job at Auckland University!)
More recently, there's been fudging of facts about cold fusion, another lucrative area of research. So this new lot of lab rats aren't mutant freaks. Science has always had its cheats. It's never been an exception to the rule, "Where there's money, there's muck".
But these egregious boffins have done more than remind us that the purest of research is prone to the corruptions of ambition and income. What they've done is wilfully attempt to influence public opinion - and political outcomes - around the world.
For these data-bodgers weren't investigating the mating habits of the Lesser Crested Gobsnot. No, they were climate scientists. Or, more precisely, pseudo-scientists, twisting the truth to produce results which they and their employers desired.
What's been revealed, although without enthusiasm by our credulous media, is that an influential cabal of researchers in England and America colluded to mislead us yobbos, perhaps so we'd more readily accept draconian measures like flatulent ETSs and the flying of kaumatua to Copenhagen.
A single email, one of many leaked by hackers and reprinted in the Guardian last weekend, proves the point: "I've just completed Mike's Nature [the science journal] trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20 years (ie from 1981 onwards) and from 1961 for Keith's to hide the decline."
"Mike's trick?" "Adding in?" "Hide the decline?" Such words warrant only the opprobrium of their author's peers. But no whistles were blown on this gravy train. Instead, these co-conspirators acted as warm-mongers, shouting "Fire" in the scientific theatre although they knew there was no blaze.
This is wonderful news, folks. Truly, it is!! As Madoff was to money, these cons are to climate. They've given sackcloth and ashes such a bad name no one will want to wear it.
Because we now know all this hand- wringing, finger-pointing, cringing, wimpish, guilt-inducing "We're to blame and it's killing the planet" palaver, embraced as a new religion by countless control-freaks, wowsers and old, bewildered hippies is based on totally dodgy data.
It's bollocks!! The "facts" are a crock!! Whoopee!!! Send those pseuds a huge bunch of flowers and a note saying, "Thanks for letting us off the hook."
Because we are. You may not believe it yet - and certainly most journalists won't. "Where there's muck, there's money," definitely applies in their industry. It feeds on the apocalyptic.
And global warming was the KFC of disasters, a cataclysm so yummy no scribe could resist it.
Especially since the usual suspects; big business, Uncle Sam, globalisation, flash motor cars, fast food - all things most journalists instinctively dislike and wish to demonise - were allegedly the root of the evil.
So it will take the scribes some time to overcome their addiction. "It won't happen overnight," as Witi would have it, "but it will happen". And when it does, look out, for the wrath of the writers will be swift and savage. No one suffers the slings and arrows of outrageous reporting more intensely than a fallen angel.
Here's a toast to the hackers who exposed this scam. And another to the "scientists" who perpetrated it. Their dodgy "science" has proved one thing - global warming ain't our fault. They made it up. Now, would somebody tell Nick Smith?

Zambia is located in southern Africa. It was named Northern Rhodesia before its independence from the United Kingdom in 1964. Zambia measures slightly larger than the state of Texas, and it is mostly high plateau with some hills and mountains.


1. Being careful, clear a support of a brake dust and dirt.
2. Take the piston from a support for what it is possible to use air under the low pressure submitted to the brake cylinder through an opening for connection of a brake hose. Thus instead of brake shoes establish wooden whetstone.
3. Using a small screw-driver, take a sealing ring from a flute in a support opening.
4. Wash out all details in methyl alcohol or pure brake liquid and wipe them. For pro-cleaning of tubes and openings use the compressed air.
5. Check a condition of all details of a support and replace the worn-out or damaged details. Check a condition of directing fingers.
6. Special attention turn on the cylinder and the piston. In the presence of scratches, СЂРёСЃРѕРє, wear or dot corrosion it is necessary to replace the piston and the cylinder, and it means that it is necessary to replace a support assembled.
7. Irrespective of a condition, replace all rubber consolidations.
8. At repair of a support check, that all details were pure and dry.
9. Dip the piston and a new sealing ring of the piston into brake liquid and apply a thin film brake liquid on an opening for the piston in a support.
10. Establish a sealing ring in a flute in a support opening.
11. Establish a dustproof cover on the piston so that internal diameter of a cover was included into a piston flute. Being careful, and at the same time turning, insert the piston into a support and at the same time insert an external edge of a dustproof cover into a support before its fixing (see drawing).
12. At installation of new directing fingers grease their surface with special greasing and establish protective covers of directing fingers in flutes of fingers. Insert directing fingers in the holder of a support and at the same time enter protective covers into flutes of the holder of a support.


Very soft! First time buying a 360 frontal and I can't wait to make the unit for client, and also the seller was amazing, constantly telling me the status of my order and was so kind!! Will order from them in the future!

New York Knicks, Joakim Noah heading toward split
The New York Knicks are set to part ways with Joakim Noah after a tumultuous two years.
New York Knicks, Joakim Noah heading toward split The New York Knicks are set to part ways with Joakim Noah after a tumultuous two years. Check out this story on northjersey.com: https://njersy.co/2xy3Xn5

The Knicks will open training camp this week, but Joakim Noah isn't going to be there.
With Media Day being held on Monday before the first practice of the season on Tuesday, the Knicks are preparing to finalize a split with the center, The Athletic reported Sunday.
The Knicks would use the waive-and-stretch provision, allowing the team to stretch out the final year of Noah's contract (worth $19.3 million) over three years, reducing the cap hit to $6.4 million each year.
By doing so, the Knicks would save about $12 million in cap room for the summer of 2019.
There's a chance Noah could give back some money in the buyout — Luol Deng gave back $7.5 million in his buyout from the Los Angeles Lakers earlier this month — which would reduce the cap hit even more.
Regardless, a tumultuous stint that culminated with Noah's separation from the organization following a confrontation with former head coach Jeff Hornacek is finally coming to an end.
Former team president Phil Jackson signed Noah to a four-year, $72 million contract in 2016 and it turned out to be one of the worst, if not the worst, signings in the organization's history. Noah was hindered by injuries and was also suspended 20 games for violating the league's anti-drug policy.
Noah is set to be paid $18.5 million for the 2018-19 season, which will count against the Knicks' salary cap in full.
At a season-opening press conference at Madison Square Garden on Thursday, Knicks general manager Scott Perry said the team was in contact with Noah's representation and the sides were working on an agreement.
"Training camp is a few days off," Perry said. "The hope is we can come to a resolution that is both advantageous to Joakim and the Knicks. That's where it is."

Kitchen cabinets, just like fine furniture, should be dusted or vacuumed periodically depending on the amount of particulate matter that may have accumulated.
Always dust with a polish-moistened or damp cloth, as dry dusting may scratch the surface. It is also a good practice to follow the grain of wood when dusting – wiping across the grain could cause scratches to appear if the dust contains grit. Residues such as smoke, cooking vapors or body oils can be cleaned with a damp cloth with a small amount of furniture cleaner. Remember to use a clean soft cloth such as an old T-shirt, cheesecloth, dishtowel, flannel or chamois with no snaps or buttons that may scratch the surface.
Clean as needed with a soft, lint free cloth. Use a mild detergent or soap and warm water.
Dry surfaces immediately with a soft cloth.
Avoid using a dishcloth or sponge – it could contain remnants of grease or detergents.
Avoid placing small kitchen appliances where heat is directed onto cabinet surfaces.
Avoid draping damp clothes or dishtowels over cabinet doors – excessive moisture can cause permanent damage.

L-R: Rachel Leben, Emma Faunce, and Julissa Garcia rehearse for the upcoming Elmira College Theatre performance of Three Tall Women.
ELMIRA, NY (01/28/2019)-- Zoe Price, of Westville, NJ, is part of the next production presented by Elmira College Theatre, which continues its 2018-2019 season with Three Tall Women. Performances are scheduled February 8 and 9 at 8:00 p.m., with a matinee February 10 at 2:00 p.m. in Gibson Theatre at Elmira College.
The New York Times, writing in 1994, called Edward Albee's Three Tall Women "a new play so good it can only exist on the stage. A perfect illustration of why theater is an indispensable art." The New York Post agreed, calling Three Tall Women "extraordinarily brilliant" and "elegant", declaring it "the best, most forceful play [Albee] has given us" adding "to be truthful about death is admirable, but to be elegant at the same time is almost Mozartian." This past season, some quarter of a century after its American premiere, Three Tall Women received its long-deserved Broadway opening in glorious revival starring Laurie Metcalf, Glenda Jackson and Alison Pill.
The Elmira College Theatre production of Three Tall Women features Rachel Leben, Emma Faunce, and Julissa Garcia. The production is under the direction of John J. Kelly, with scenic design by Zoe Price and lighting design by George de Falussy. Scott McGuire serves as Technical Director, with Stage Management by Sadie Kennett, assisted by Lauren Scarborough and Zekiel Cammarata.

Military Museum holds exhibition to mark 80th anniversary of the Long March
Full coverage: 80th Anniversary of the Victory of the Red Army's Long March
China's military museum is holding a month-long exhibition to mark the 80th anniversary of the Long March. From 1934 to 1936, the Red Army marched across China to evade the Kuomingtang's pursuit. CCTV's Han Peng reports from the exhibition.
China's military museum is holding a month-long exhibition to mark the 80th anniversary of the Long March.
When the Long March ended in 1936, Wang Tianbao was only 10 years-old. But he says he met some of China's most historic figures during the Long March.
"I'm familiar with them because I was sending newspapers for the Red Army. Before I joined the revolution, I was struggling with poverty as a hired hand for a landlord. The Red Army changed my life," said Wang Tiaobao, veteran soldier.
The newspaper boy officially became a soldier at the age of 14.
Wang trained as a pilot, and became a war hero after he downed a US fighter jet and crippled another three planes in the Korean War.
The Military Museum's new exhibition displays over 200 photos and relics from the Long March. Wang says being here brings back memories of the revolution.
The Long March started in 1934, when millions of Kuomintang troops tried to hund down less than 10,000 Communist forces.
The situation forced the Red Army into one of the longest retreats in war history.
Red Army soldiers walked over 12,000 kilometers, through snow-covered mountains and marshlands to escape the Kuomintang.
The Long March passes through some of China's most difficult terrain. Many historians believe the Long March was more than just a military campaign... It was a defining moment for the Communist Party of China, and helped make the Party what it is today.
Xi Jinping, the General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, also came to see the museum's exhibition.
He said the situation today for the Party has changed immensely. The party has risen from a revolutionary party facing a strong military enemy, to preside over the world's second largest economy.
But the Party's goals and its faith in the Chinese people have remained unchanged.
"The Long March has left behind a long legacy, that includes: a firmness in faith, a willingness to sacrifice, a commitment to truth and a devotion to China and its people. By holding this exhibition, we hope to keep this legacy alive, because we are on a new Long March towards China's rejuvenation," said Huang Yibing, Deputy Curator of Military Museum of China.
Wang Tianbao retired back in 1987, after spending years commanding China's East China Sea airforce fleet. He says his whole life has been a Long March with the Communist Party, and says the next generation must keep on marching.

A recent study has uncovered troubling side-effects from a family of common drugs known as anticholinergics that could have wide-reaching ramifications for millions of Americans who take these drugs on a regular basis.
Anticholinergics are drugs that are used to treat a variety of conditions, ranging from gastrointestinal disorders like gastritis, ulcerative colitis, and diarrhea to respiratory disorders like asthma, chronic bronchitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). They are also used to treat conditions like insomnia and vertigo.
Examples of commonly-used anticholinergics include: Dimetapp, Zyprexa, Unisom, Paxil, and Benadryl. Countless doses of these drugs and others like them are sold each year and consumed on a daily basis by millions.
Now, a study suggests that anticholinergics could be linked to dementia and cognitive impairment when used later in life – and can pose a serious threat to cognitive health in adults.
The study in question examined brain scales of 451 adults (average age: 73) along with analyzing the results of cognitive tests. No participants had previously exhibited signs of dementia or Alzheimers. A portion – 60 subjects – had been using anticholinergics for at least a month when the study was conducted.
One startling result was the fact that brain thickness and volumes in areas of the brain critical to cognitive function and performance were noticeably reduced. Also, glucose processing levels were lower in areas that are typically associated with Alzheimer's.
The worrisome implication is that using these drugs in older adults can either cause or accelerate cognitive decay, resulting in crippling disorders like dementia and others. This is not the first time such a link was suggested; researchers have theorized for years the link between these drugs and cognitive function, and the relationship has been demonstrated in previous studies.
The researchers were careful to point out, however, that the risk of taking anticholinergics may be outweighed by their benefits, which means each person taking these drugs – or those in care of them – need to be aware of the risks and choose accordingly.
All adults who may be susceptible to these risks need to consult with their physicians, and – if possible – explore alternative therapies that do not incorporate the same risk as anticholinergics appear to do.


When the New York Times speaks, the world listens.
And now, with news reports from the most-recent IPCC climate talks in Japan sending shivers down the spines of people everywhere, the newspaper-of-record goes out on a springtime limb to report on a genre that most newspapers have shied away from even mentioning.
The Times editors headlined the article "College Classes Use Arts to Brace for Climate Change," written by national reporter Richard Perez-Pena. TheWrap, of course, has been talking about Climate Fiction (Cli-Fi) movies and novels since 2012 in several blog posts by this writer — and Darren Aronofsky's "Noah" fits nicely into the growing genre as well.
Perez-Pena, who is based in New York, flew out to Eugene, Oregon to get the story. He met with University of Oregon professor Stephanie LeMenager — and the graduate students in her pioneering class — and filed a report that appeared in both the print edition of the paper and online.
subgenre of speculative fiction known as Cli-Fi. The class focuses on novels such as "Odds Against Tomorrow" by Nathaniel Rich, and "Solar," by Ian McEwan.
Rich's Cli-Fi novel recently appeared in paperback, after making a splash last year in April when NPR picked it for a series of specials on Cli-Fi novels.
According to LeMenager, her students at UO this semester tend to share her activist inclinations are enjoying the class — blogging and tweeting about it. With the Times article now online, the story has gone global and been translated into several languages already.
According to the Times, novels set against a backdrop of climate change are beginning to make their mark on the literary scene, including books such as "The Windup Girl," by Paolo Bacigalupi; "Finitude," by Hamish MacDonald; and "The Carbon Diaries 2015," by Saci Lloyd. Well-known writers have joined the trend, the Times observed, mentioning both Barbara Kingsolver, with "Flight Behavior," and Ian McEwan.
So where does Cli-Fi come from? "The climate-change canon dates back at least as far as 'The Drowned World' written in 1962 by J. G. Ballard," the Times reported. So this is nothing new. It's just "mushrooming" now.
Have you read a Cli-Fi novel recently? Are you writing one?
When the mention of a rising literary genre makes it into the pages of the New York Times, you know something important is going on. This is one meme worth bookmarking and watching as it grows worldwide.


Hello everybody! Things have been pretty crazy here at Kings Heath Towers over the summer with lots of great projects on site and on paper. As a result the blog has been a little bit lonely, so I wanted to pop in and say hi. I am out enjoying the fresh air at the moment but when I get back I think it's nearly time for my little business to grow some wings.

3 Player Board Games Buyer's Guide
When looking for the perfect game to play with three players, it's important to consider a few factors. The first is the game's complexity. If you want a more complex game that will require strategy and thought, then look for games with more pieces and rules. Conversely, if you are looking for something simpler that can be played quickly, choose a game with fewer pieces and rules.
Another thing to consider is the theme of the game. Do you want something that is light-hearted and fun, or would you rather play a game based on some other sort of idea?
Finally, you should look for games with different levels of completion. They might range from simple to complex, but most three-player board games can be played by people at all skill levels so everyone has the chance to win.
Pourquoi le temps de jeu est-il important ?
The game time is important because it dictates how much time you will spend playing the game. This is especially important for three-player games because, if one player gets bored or frustrated with the game, it can end quickly and everyone might not have had a chance to play their best hand.
Choose a game that has an appropriate playing time for you and your friends.
If you are looking for a quick game, choose something short but fun. On the other hand, if you have more time to kill on a Saturday night, opt for an epic adventure that will take hours of play-time.
Why Does Сomplexity Matter?
Complexity is important because some friends might have different skill levels, and a complicated game will keep your more skilled player from dominating the other. Look for games that are simple enough to grasp but complex enough to stay interesting as you play them again and again with your family or friends over time.
Pourquoi la taille est-elle importante ?
When choosing a three-player board game, the most important thing to consider is size. There are many games out there that can be played with two people, but few that work well for groups of more than three players. It's also good to look at how big each piece will be and whether or not it will take up too much space on the board. If you're looking for a game that will take up as little space as possible, then consider a card or dice-based game instead of one with many pieces and boards because they tend to be much smaller.
Pourquoi le poids est-il important ?
The weight of the game is another thing to consider when purchasing a three-player board game. Games that are made with heavier materials, such as wood or metal, will generally last longer than those made with lighter materials like cardboard. If you're looking for something that will last for years, then choose a game that is made with durable materials. However, keep in mind that games that are heavier tend to be more expensive.
Pourquoi le matériau est-il important ?
The material a three-player board game is made with can affect how long it lasts and what types of people will be able to use it. This factor is very important if you're looking for something that kids or the elderly can play with because they might not have as much strength or endurance as others. For example, some games are made with small pieces that are difficult for people with arthritis to handle, while others have very heavy pieces that can be hard for children or older adults to move.
Et les couleurs ?
When choosing a three-player board game, the colors that are used can be important too. For example, some games use bright and vibrant colors while others have more muted tones. This factor is especially important if you want something with specific themes or styles so it fits in well with your home décor or other personal items.

The publicly traded utility (NYSE-DUK) is cancelling the planned construction of two Westinghouse AP1000 nuclear reactors at the Williams States Lee III project citing that firm's as yet unresolved bankruptcy proceedings.
This week Duke Energy Corp. asked regulators in two states to cancel its planned nuclear plant in Gafney, SC. It cited as the reason the bankruptcy of reactor manufacturer Westinghouse Electric Co., low natural gas prices, and the lack of regulatory support from the federal government limiting CO2 emissions.
The decision by the Scana project to cancel work on the partially completed twin AP1000 reactors at the V C Summer site is probably the most significant factor. Duke's investors would most likely be asking "what are you thinking" if it tried to proceed at this time with the Lee project.
While the planned construction costs of the Lee plant were pegged at "overnight costs" of $5,000/Kw, the experience at V C Summer showed that cost escalation would undoubtedly have pushed that number much higher. One of the contributing factors is that Wesinghouse, as the EPC, never had a detailed project plan with confirmed cost estimates, before it broke ground.
Last June it was reported that the owners of the V C Summer project believed a detailed construction schedule by their builder was the basis for the timing and cost of building the two reactors. There was also the fact that Westinghouse was committed to building four AP1000s in China which was a significant confidence factor for the firm.
The utilities at V C Summer have since learned the detailed schedules and cost estimates didn't exist, calling into question repeated assurances made to state regulators by Westinghouse that the new units could be built by 2020 and at a $14 billion price tag or over $6,300/Kw. The gap in communications also raises questions about the diligence of these utilities in their oversight role of the EPC firm as well as that of the South Carolina Public Utility Commission. Duke's investors see just one thing at V C Summer – mind boggling mismanagement.
Westinghouse has since said as part of its bankruptcy proceedings that it will get out of the business of being an EPC and just serve as a components vendor for the future projects, assuming there are any in the U.S.
What remains unanswered is why a company with decades of nuclear related project management experience under its belt would abandon that body of knowledge on a "bet the company" project. It also raises the question of why Westinghouse signed a fixed price contract to built two first of a kind reactors at the V C Summer site. In terms of 20/20 hindsight some observers have asked why Scana and Santee Cooper didn't wait to break ground until after Westinghouse had completed the four reactors under construction in China and had absorbed the lessons learned from those experiences to apply to the projects in the U.S. Both utilities could have built natural gas projects in the interim which they will surely do now to close the 2200 MW gap in generation capacity which will be left by the incomplete reactors.
Duke was always hesitant about Lee. The firm said some time ago that it would make up its mind about the Lee project once it saw how things turned out with the Scana project in South Carolina. If the Lee reactors had been built they would have served customers in North & South Carolina.
At one time Duke considered shelving the Lee project altogether and buying a $500M stake in the Scana project. Duke declined to respond to questions from the news media why it pulled out of the deal. The firm has also said it will not entertain proposals to take over the now cancelled V C Summer project even to complete just one of the two planned reactors.
The bottom line is that Duke Energy is seeking approval from the North Carolina Utilities Commission (NCUC) to cancel the development of the Lee Nuclear project because it cannot move forward as originally envisioned primarily due to the recent Toshiba Westinghouse bankruptcy but also due to the impact on its investors and customers of the now cancelled V C Summer project.
"Risks and uncertainties to initiating construction on the Lee Nuclear project have become too great and cancellation of the project is the best option for customers," Duke said in a statement.
Duke faces an uphill battle to convince North Carolina regulators to approve payment to the firm of $353 million it spent on pre-construction costs and licensing for Lee. Almost all expenditures so far have been for site design and environmental reviews and licensing costs. The Lee project received an NRC combined construction and operating license from the NRC in December 2016.
With a market capitalization of $61 billion, the estimated $12 billion the two units could cost would be just over 20% of the total value of the giant utility. That's pretty close to a "bet the company" decision which makes prudence a key factor in assessing the need for the project.
Apparently, stockholders like the fact that the utility is getting out of the business of building new or repairing existing reactors. Duke's stock closed Friday 8/25/17 at $87.23/share very near the 52-week high (L$72.34-H$87.75/share). Taking into account the cancellation of the Levy County and Harris projects, along with the latest decision to cancel Lee, and a decision not to repair the Crystal River reactor, Duke will have taken, approximately, 5,400 MW of nuclear power off the table for the foreseeable future.
In terms of return on capital, Duke sees the cheaper natural gas plants, which also have a much less stringent regulatory burden, as a path forward that will keep its stockholders happy. Duke Energy says it is building a $1.5-billion, 1,640 MW combined cycle natural gas-fired power plant on a Citrus County, Fla., site adjacent to its damaged Crystal River nuclear facility. It is expected to be completed in 2018.
TVA – It should be noted that TVA is a close second in making these kinds of decisions with the abandonment of Bellefonte which represented 2,400 MW. An effort by a real estate developer to pursue completion of these units is a long shot at best. On the other hand, TVA completed Watts Bar II in June 2016 and recently received permission from the NRC to proceed with a planned uprate at Browns Ferry.
Earlier this month the NRC approved a plan by the Tennessee Valley Authority to increase the generating capacity at its Browns Ferry Nuclear Power Plant by 14.3 percent.
TVA requested the power upgrade at its Alabama nuclear plant, boosting the output by 155 MW for each of the three reactors at Browns Ferry. The $475 million equipment upgrade will begin during next spring's refueling outage for Unit 3, during the fall 2018 refueling outage for Unit 1, and during the spring 2019 refueling outage for Unit 2.
"The real advantage of the Browns Ferry investment is that we are maximizing the capability of an existing generation asset that already produces our lowest-cost, most reliable form of carbon-free baseload power," TVA said in a press statement.
Ohio is a major supplier of natural gas to the nation as a result of the use of fracking technology to reach reserves that could not be tapped with conventional drilling.

Q: Struts2 rest request asking for execute method I am new to struts. I am writing a web application using struts2 rest. I have struts2 configured to accept both rest and non rest url. ( following http://struts.apache.org/release/2.3.x/docs/rest-plugin.html)
I expect "http://mylocalhost.com/myApp/detail" url to call DetailController class's index() method. However, I got this error :
java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: com.project.struts.rest.controllers.DetailController.execute()
    java.lang.Class.getMethod(Class.java:1665)

It seems struts worked out it need to call detailController, but it tries to call the execute() method instead of the index() method.
Have I missed something in my struts config?

Montgomery, the capital of the state of Alabama, is also its second most populous city behind its neighbor city to the north, Birmingham. Montgomery became Alabama's capital in 1846 and was chosen as the inaugural capital city of the Confederate States of America in February of 1861. The city is home to more than 200,000 residents, many of whom are members of the United States Air Force, as Maxwell Air Force is located in the eastern part of town. In addition to being a political center, Montgomery also is home to many institutions of higher learning – including Alabama State University, Troy University, Faulkner University, and Huntingdon College. Montgomery also played a pivotal role in the Civil Rights Movement, as it was the site of the Montgomery Bus Boycott and several Freedom Rides.
There are many different kinds of criminal offenses under Alabama law. Assault, battery, drug offenses, and white collar crimes are just some of the prohibited activities in this state. The state can and will prosecute you for any and all criminal offenses, which is why obtaining the services of a Montgomery criminal defense attorney is so important. There are a vast number of statutes that define the permutations of criminal offenses and their penalties, and a deep understanding of how those laws are applied by the courts is needed to defend yourself to the fullest. An accomplished defense lawyer can give you the legal advice, support, and advocacy you will need to fight the criminal charge or charges levied against you.
When you retain a lawyer familiar with all aspects of the criminal justice system's procedures, judges, and prosecutors, you have a significant tactical advantage . An attorney is trained to navigate the system for the benefit of his clients, and over the years the Montgomery criminal defense lawyers at Eversole Law have honed their instincts and gained valuable experience that can help you. Our knowledge base has allowed us to leverage plea bargains for many clients that resulted in a lesser charge than what they were originally accused of. In some cases with favorable circumstances, an aggressive and professional advocate can obtain a dismissal of the criminal charges as well. Results can never be guaranteed because every case is unique, but having a adept lawyer on your side is crucial to give you the best chance for a successful resolution of your case.
Our office is located at 850 Corporate Parkway, Suite 114 in Birmingham and is easily accessible from Montgomery. Just take I-65 North to exit 250 and merge onto I-459 North. From there take US-280 East and turn right onto Corporate Parkway. You will see our office on the right.

pretty when she dies: The Tv series
"It's the irony of being a Vampire - being immortal and being terrified of death…"
- Amaliya
Press play on the video above to see a 2 minute Teaser Trailer for, Pretty When She Dies…
"None of us really changes over time. We only become more fully what we are." ― Anne Rice
After mysteriously waking up post mordem with severe memory loss, Amaliya, now an unsettled powerful vampire with a conscious, must discover who turned her, suppress this newfound blood thirst, fight off creatures of the night and ultimately survive her own inner demons.
She never could have prepared herself for this…
In one moment, Amaliya is a headstrong twenty-something trying to make ends meet, the next - she's fighting for everyone's eternal souls. Having to deal with her sister's illness and the recent death of her mother, both diagnosed with cervical cancer, Amaliya will have to find the strength she lacked while living to save the human world from enslavement. Employing the help of a young bartender, Cian, a powerful local vampire, a feisty spiritual medium, Grandmama and sometimes her romantic rival Samantha, Amaliya must find a way to morally feed on the living, continue her human life as a normal college student and sustain her sister's health by cleansing her own vampire blood.
Sorting through unclear memories as she fearlessly drives to solve the mystery of her new condition, Amaliya gathers fractured clues from her friends & family and starts piecing together the puzzle of her human life. Early in her journey Amaliya falls in love with Cian, which deteriorates her friendship with his girlfriend, Samantha, who, in her jealousy, retaliates by hiring a brutal Vampire Hunter called Summerfield to forever still Amaliya's broken heart. As her burden grows, Amaliya impulsively confides in her Philosophy Professor, a handsome do-gooder - or so it seems - and starts receiving guidance on how to come to terms with being a vampire. Who did this to her and why? In a world of uncertainty, one thing is for sure…Amaliya will stop at nothing to exact revenge on the Necromancer who stole her life and made her undead.
"Listen to them. Children of the night. What music they make…" - Bela Lugosi
Amaliya
…is very special. Possessing the power to both create and destroy, she is strong but sensitive, loyal but demanding, determined but impulsive, and must fight back against those who would control her destiny.
…is torn between worlds and lovers. After roaming for centuries, he is weary of his immortal life and longs to join the fleeting and precious nature of human impermanence.
…is a warm blooded human, who also happens to be seriously dating a vampire. After Amaliya shows up in her life, she finds herself competing to keep Cian while maintaining her humanity.
Professor Sumner
…needs more time. Posing as a Philosophy Professor at the university, his plan to make Vampires the dominant race and farm humans for blood involves Amaliya in a way that binds their fate together tighter and tighter.
Grandmama
…only wants what's best for her grandchildren. Having to take care of Amaliya's ill sister, she uses her spiritual powers as a Medium to guide Amaliya through her journey and reconcile her religion with the love she has for her beloved undead granddaughter.
…is a tough and experienced Vampire Hunter who's past and morals make him a practical man who truly believes in his work. Following his own code, his encounter with Amalyia will upset the balance by which he's lived his whole life.
*** Disclaimer- This is not a finished outline for PWSD, and most of the text below is used as filler. ***
The world of Pretty When She Dies is a complicated one. As the stories of our characters all weaved together, they ultimately climax in an epic showdown between Amaylia and her creator, revealing her true power - the ability to day walk.
•	S1E01 - Amaliya awakes, digging herself out of a grave. Lost and shaken, she realizes her condition and confides in her Grandmama, who receives her with a cold welcome. Learning something about her new destiny at every turn, Amaliya's Grandmama summons a vision that leads her to Cian, who's experience as a Vampire among the living becomes a survival guide. Cian is slowly convinced to help Amaliya piece together her mysterious awakening, opening old wounds and creating new ones. Having to adjust her schedule to accommodate her new life, she struggles to establish a sense of normalcy.
•	S1E02 - Desperate for information and guidance, Amaliya approaches her new professor to discuss topics of morality and the nature of mysticism. Cian and his girlfriend Samantha deliberate their uncertainties of Amaliya as well as ponder a way for Cian to regain his humanity. Amaliya checks on her little sister Racheal who is deteriorating day by day. One such day a monster attacks, causing tensions to rise between Grandmama and Amaliya. Amaliya suffers a wound from the attack and notices something strange with the inner workings of her blood and reaches out to Cian for answers, he is strangely fascinated, and reluctantly agrees to help her.
•	S1E03 - Frustrated with miss-matched flashbacks from her recollection of what happened when she was still alive, a grumpy Amaliya gets in a fight with Grandmama. They argue the logistics of sitting down to eat when she can't actually consume anything at the table. In a fit of rage Amaliya storms off to her night class, only to find that her growing thirst for blood, combined with the sharpening of her senses, are overwhelming and she is forced to feed. Her hunger leads to a group of criminals commuting heinous crimes, and Amaliya lets herself go wild. Bewildered and horrified by what she has done, Amaliya rushes to Cian, who comforts her. He assures her that it is natural to feed, and that he recommends a technique he refers to as Target Feeding. Samantha arrives and sees Amaliya with Cian creates tensions. Amaliya heads home to begin experimenting with her blood.
•	S1E04 - Unsure of herself, Amaliya visits her Grandmama's church. She goes to confession but is vague about her sins and situation. The priest gives her advice and offers to let her drink the holy water from his cup. The result is unexpected and undesired. Learning something about her new destiny at every turn, Amaliya's Grandmama summons a vision that leads her to Cian, who's experience as a Vampire among the living becomes a survival guide.

"God didn't do this. The Devil did. And I'm going to find him." - Jessica Jones
PWSD can briefly be described as Jessica Jones meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In the proof of concept version of this project, there are roughly ten, 6 minute webisodes that equate to the first "season" of the web series, which, if watched in its entirety, would compare to the pilot episode of a normal 60 minute long-form show. Shooting this show as a web series first is an affordable way to test the subject matter amongst an online audience thirsty for short-form content.
