While re-entering the nursing profession as a licensed nurse might have seemed like an easy task, you might need a nurse refresher course to bring you back up to speed with updated interventions, certain procedures, and treatments. While it helps if you are a compassionate people-person and can handle a variety of situations, taking a nurse refresher course could open up doors for you to further your education and even allow you to move up higher at your current place of employment.
A nurse refresher course will prepare you to deal with all aspects of the patients needs. It is important to know how to handle specific kinds of situations correctly and in a professional manner. Apart from being able to work well on your own, an RN refresher course or LVN refresher course can help you know how to better acclimate to working effectively as part of a team.
Becoming a nurse does guarantee you an interesting and challenging job. It is not an easy job, but it is never dull and often rewarding. After completing your nurse refresher course didactic you will encounter entire teams of other nurses, doctors and professionals with whom you will learn to work with effectively because of our training. The rewards of a nurse refresher course will help you appreciate the rewards of getting a fresh start in the health care profession and will be well worth it.
The PHES nursing school in Houston was founded by two registered nurses from Texas with over 25 years of experience in medical/surgical nursing, home health, administration, and critical care, education. The nurse refresher course classes include a review of nursing process, anatomy/physiology, medication administration, nursing jurisprudence, nursing ethics, pharmacology, physical assessment, documentation, intravenous therapy and skills labs. With our experienced instructors you will be sure to reap the rewards for years to come. Call us today for more information. We are happy to help get prepared and back in the field.
Nurses who have taken time off for family related or other issues may feel a bit unconfident when returning to a clinical setting. PHES can help you to regain confidence in your nursing abilities. We offer a nurse refresher course that will provide you with education about any treatment or technologies that may have been introduced during your absence. Our courses are designed to refresh your nursing skills and prepare you for re-entry into the workforce. We began in 2001 providing Board of Nursing nurse remediation and expanded to offering nurse refresher courses in 2003.
We offer an LVN refresher course that will fine-tune your nursing abilities and give you the skills and confidence that you need to once again enjoy working in your chosen field. Since 2003, more than 500 nurses have successfully completed our refresher courses and have gone on to work in a variety of healthcare settings including outpatient clinics, home care and acute care facilities. Our classes are limited to just 20 nurses each which gives our instructors the one-on-one time that they need to ensure that all nurses have the opportunity to hone their skills. We want our nursing students to feel empowered with the education that they receive and to feel completely ready to once again perform their nursing duties.
Whether you need our LVN or RN refresher course, we will ensure that you receive the education needed to gain back your confidence. Your studies will begin with DVD lessons at home and then move on to classroom work and lectures. Once you have successfully completed these steps of the refresher course, you will move into a clinical setting where you will work under the supervision of a licensed nurse. We offer two locations for your practicum including the Windsong Nursing and Rehab Facility in Pearland, TX and the Grace Care Nursing Home in Katy, TX.
The affiliation site is chosen for each nurse depending on the length of time you have been away from nursing, your future plans and your personal preferences as well as availability. Nurses who successfully complete our refresher courses receive certificates of completion as well as 20 hours of continued education. Topics of review include anatomy, terminology, diagnostics and pathophysiology critical thinking as well as refreshers on other subjects.

Researchers have discovered a pathway by which the brain controls a molecule critical to forming long-term memories and connected with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. The discovery was made by a team of scientists led by Alexei Morozov, an assistant professor at the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute.
The study appeared in The Journal of Neuroscience in the article "Rap1 Signaling Prevents L-Type Calcium Channel-Dependent Neurotransmitter Release," by Jaichandar Subramanian, now a research fellow at the Picower Institute for Learning and Memory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; Louis Dye, a staff scientist at the Microscopy and Imaging Core of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development; and Morozov, who is also an assistant professor in Virginia Tech's School of Biomedical Engineering and Sciences.


Valentine's Day gets a bum wrap, all the pressure and expectations! I love Valentine's Day because it is an excuse to do little surprises for people and make them feel loved. I'm going for less red roses and more thoughtful gestures. Here is a little surprise to get someone's Valentine's Day started out right. Fill a closet or cupboard with heart balloons and wait for them to get showered in balloons. It is super easy and simple to pull this off.
I would love to open a door and have all of these fall on me, so fun!
I did this last year, except I filled his Jeep with them, instead of a closet. On each one, I wrote "I love you more than….." (naps, Downton Abbey, donuts, etc). It was a really inexpensive gift, but he loved it! He left the balloons in there, and drove around all day with them!
Random- any details on that closet organization system? Its brilliant and just what I need!
I love this idea– so doing this this year!
I love this idea! When I was in High School we use to do fun things like this for our friends birthdays. Once we filled my friends car with balloons. She loved it! And another time, we filled a friend's bedroom with balloons, that was a lot of work, but it was so awesome when we jumped out of the balloons when she walked into her bedroom and yelled surprise!
We did something like this last Valentines Day. A friend and I filled my roommates room with heart balloons while she was sleeping so when she woke up she had to wade through them to get out of bed. Her reaction was amazing and for someone who was a self proclaimed "Valentines Hater" she did see to appreciate it.
so perfect! i would be so happy to see a bunch of red heart balloons fall out of the closet great idea!
Aww, now THAT is so sweet!
I love this idea! Your pictures are so lovely and vibrant! I can't wait to use this idea on my daughter. Thanks!
Love it – this would be a super-sweet surprise. So much fun.
I love this thoughtful gestures and looks so fun. You're right though… you'd need lungs of steel!
I am going to do it for both of my girls on Valentines Day!
I live three hours from my fiance, so doing this this year is out of the picture, but I'll have to remember it for next valentines day!
Such an unbelievably cute idea!!! I love this!!!
This is such a fantastic idea. My fiance and I have been stressing about our upcoming wedding (so many details). This will be a fantastic way to give him a little heartfelt surprise!
Love the balloon idea but, I really just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your blog. The name itself just makes me sing it and smile. My family always looks up to see what I'm doing and why I'm singing. Have a blessed day.
This is a great idea! A friend of mine actually got proposed to this way. She really likes balloons, so her boyfriend blew up a whole bunch of them, filled up her closet with them, then got into the closet himself. He arranged things with another friend so that she would come home to change clothes for something, and then when she opened up the closet, all these balloons showered her, and her boyfriend stepped out and proposed to her. Somehow he got it on video, too. It was really romantic!
I am super tempted to do this…but, I have a feeling my dogs would be TERRIFIED of those balloons Super cute idea, and blog in general – just stumbled upon it, and am loving it so far!
crap, this is *so* happy – i love it all!
Oh, these make my heart sing! So perfectly perfect.
Blogging was my passion over the years of writing randomly and the sites like this have helped and inspired tremendously. You are the towerhouse for beginners.


This wine is composed by 100% Gewürztraminer and praises the denomination Alto Adige DOC. The manual harvest is followed by soft pressing, fermentation and aging on lees in steel. The ingredients are as simple as the steps of the receipt, that is followed so closely, that the result is a high-quality product. All the labels crated by Girlan are fabulous products. This Gewürztraminer is pleasant, aromatic, fresh and savoury; In one word: Fantastic!
Clear straw yellow colour enriched by a deep and aromatic perfume that recalls tropical fruits and yellow flowers. After a while, the bouquet is completed by mineral shades and sensations of citrus fruits. The taste has some connection with the sense of smell, it is structured and balanced.
This wine is really versatile. It is perfect with savoury preparations like "fegato alla veneziana" (liver dressed with vinegar, onions salt and pepper). It has to be served at 8-10° C in a high, tapered wine glass. It reaches an alcoholic strength of 13,5% Vol.

Konala (Finnish), Kånala (Swedish) is a subdistrict of Helsinki, Finland. Konala has about 4500 inhabitants and about 3000 jobs. Konala is situated in north-western Helsinki, north of Ring I road and Pitäjänmäki, west of Malminkartano and Kannelmäki. It is bordered from the south by Ring I, east by green zone which separates at the industrial area along Vihdintie and the west at Espoo's border.

The houses are mainly small apartment houses and townhouses. The area also contains industrial and commercial enterprises. Vihdintie has several automotive companies. Konala-seura estimated that Konala is considered a safe place to live. The Ristikko Shopping Centre, which opened in 2015, is also located in Konala.

Konalantie splits Konala into two different parts. On the east side of Konalantie, there are regional blocks of industry, business and apartment blocks. On the west side of the road, there are quieter terraced houses. An excellent example of this is Äestäjäntien houses. Konala's northern part, between Uusmaki (which belongs to Vihdintie and Espoo) there is a new, wooden fledged Lehtovuori residential area.

Konalan ala-aste, a primary school, operates at two separate locations. A so-called "big school" is located at  Riihipellonkuja, and was founded in 1981. This schoolhouse is a low white building, and it teaches grades 1-6 and a special class. Near the border of Espoo, there is the Hilatien Koulu, which is called "little school", was founded in 1990 and had the grades 1–2. The "little school" was closed in 2011/2012 due to unclean air problems.

History
The original inhabitants of Konala were Tavastians. The name Konala derives from older Tavastian village name Konhola which is situated in Akaa municipality.

Konala was attached as a part of Pitäjänmäki, Helsinki city, in 1946 in Helsingin suuressa alueliitoksessa (Helsinki's large area junction). Before that, it belonged to Helsinki's parish (which is now Vantaa). Konala became its own borough in 1959.

Politics
Results of the 2011 Finnish parliamentary election  in Konala:

National Coalition Party   27.4%
Social Democratic Party of Finland   19.1%
True Finns   18.1%
Green League   12.6%
Left Alliance   7.5%
Centre Party   5.9%
Swedish People's Party   3.8%
Christian Democrats   2.5%

Other
 Rap-band Konala Cartelli was founded in Konala.
 TV shows, such as MTV3's popular Salatut elämät ("Secret Lives"), are filmed at a studio in Konala.
 A board-game by Konalan ala-aste parents-association called Konala-peli (Konala-game) was published in 1995.
 Scandinavia's largest rehearsal complex, Indie Center, which rents its rehearsal areas for bands.
 Malminkartanonhuippu, approximately 90-meters high artificial hill, is located near the borders of Konala and Malminkartano.

Sneak-peak into the 2020 Formula 1 and Formula 2 championships
September 25, 2020 / 0 Comments / 134 / MOTORSPORTS
2020!! This year was a surprise package, brought places to stand still, confined people to their homes with absolutely nothing apart from essential activities taking place over the past few months. These unprecedented times also dented the sports activities everywhere and Motorsport racing was no different from that. The 70th year of Formula 1 racing, Formula 1 2020 season was all set to be kickstarted in Melbourne, Australia on 15th March 2020 only to be cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. What followed was a few months on uncertainty along with some tremendous work put forth by FIA and all the management teams involved to get the races to start by July 5th, 2020.
A total of 17 races were finalized in parts to make the season get along and get a decent number of races being organized. This included double races at Austria (Styrian GP), Silverstone (70th Anniversary GP), and Bahrain outer track (Sakhir GP). The new tracks compared to 2019 were Mugello (Tuscan GP), Nürburgring (Eifel GP), Portimao (Portuguese GP), and Imola (Emilia Romagna GP). This was done to minimize the travel and therefore it meant that continents like Asia, Australia, North and South America were bound to cancel their races. 2020 was the first time Formula 1 was not racing at the iconic but one of the slowest Formula 1 circuit – Monaco.
In the 9 races completed so far, Mercedes leads the way with 325 points which include 7 race wins and 14 podiums. Redbull is a distant second with a 3-way battle between McLaren, Racing Point, and Renault for 3rd place. Scuderia Ferrari has had a miserable outing in this season so far and is currently languishing in 6th position and well off the place of their main rivals.
Among the drivers, Lewis Hamilton leads with 190 points which include 6 race wins and brings him just one short of the record of Michael Schumacher who had 91 wins throughout his star-studded career. Hamilton's teammate Valterri Bottas and Redbull's Max Verstappen pose to be Hamilton's closest rivals. Pierre Gasly managed to win an incredible race at Monza and it was for the first time in a half a decade that we had a podium which had neither of the top 3 teams – Mercedes, Redbull and Ferrari.
This series is often considered as the steppingstone to Formula 1. It takes place with a difference in the schedules though, a weekend has 2 races run in Formula 2 as compared to one in Formula 1. The 2 races are called the feature race and the sprint races. The feature race is the longer duration race where every driver must mandatorily pit once and use 2 compounds of tires available for the race. The sprint race does not have any such mandatory pit stop and the drivers can choose to race with any of the available sets of tires. Formula 2 is a spec series as opposed to Formula 1 which initially means that every car on the grid is the same. Though there are teams involved in Formula 2 as well that is only for managing the race. Each team has 2 drivers racing for them.
A very important point to note here is Formula 2 has Indian participation this year in the form of Jehan Daruvala. The young driver was under the Sahara Force India Academy until Force India was sold to Canadian billionaire Lawrence Stroll. Jehan Daruvala is currently under the Red Bull Academy and racing for Carlin Motorsport in the 2020 Formula 2 championship. He consistently maintained the second position in the Formula 3 championship until the last round where he was pipped by Robert Schwartzman and hence finished 3rd. He has had the 4th position as his best performance during the 70th anniversary weekend.
And as we write this, Jehan Daruvala qualifies in 2nd position for the Russian GP feature race. He was 0.006 seconds off his team-mate Yuki Tsunoda in what transpired to be an extraordinary session for the Carlin team. We wish Jehan all the best for the feature race tomorrow.

Lap of luxury
Barry Tranter | VOLUME 22, ISSUE 1
Don't be fooled by its size, Sunseeker's Predator 72 combines sleek looks and cutting-edge technology to produce a boat that handles like a 30-footer.
Most boat tests are easy to write. For anything up to, say, half-a-million dollars in value, you can imagine what it would be like to own the craft you're testing. On the drive home, when my head is full of impressions, I always imagine myself as a potential owner – where I would moor it, how I would run it, how much I'd enjoy it and, of course, what I would have to sell to afford it.
But when you're looking at Sunseeker's $4.5million worth of Predator 72, the imagination simply will not project that far. What we will have to do when writing about this boat is take a deep breath and, well, wing it.
The modern sailing yacht is a fine thing, but older yachts have attributes that would enhance the modern yacht. With powerboats, this rule does not apply. The modern powerboat is streets ahead of those produced 10 years ago. When writing about boats like the Predator 72, I like to talk about the way they look, the way they feel inside. This time, let's reverse normal procedure; I want to talk about the way it goes.
Beneath the cockpit in their own private room, you find two V12 MAN 1360hp diesels, each one a fraction under 22 litres in capacity. The MANs drive forward to vee-drives and the shafts head back aft to five-blade props, which run in semi-tunnels. Why tunnels? The props are recessed so the slipstream is directed over the blades and the props have a better, almost vertical angle of attack.
The MANs are fed by a common rail high pressure injection system and turbochargers compress the mix once it's engulfed by the massive cylinders. The result is a bigger bang inside each pot, but a bigger bang that is also quieter and smoother. The common rail system is why European motoring writers reckon the best BMW car engines these days are diesels.
Our skipper for the day (who goes by the name of 'Wozza') opens the throttles on 24 cylinders and 2720 horsepower and there is no noticeable lift onto the plane. There is no sense that the hull has to make an effort to climb out of the hole and into the water. Between idle and 20 knots, we guess that the bow has lifted two degrees, perhaps only one. That's all.
So, we are running at 1600rpm and 20 knots. It feels like 10. The engines burble away somewhere aft, a long way away. We do tight figure eights; the steering is quite direct and this 72ft boat – which, at half load, displaces approximately 32.5 tonnes – feels like a 30-footer. We push her through a few swells. "You can run her at this speed in two-metre seas," says Mike Garrett, from Sunseeker. Sadly, we can't find any two-metre seas, but I believe him.
Even when she runs up to a top of 36 knots and a bit, the engine noise is still subdued. To me, this lack of noise is of paramount importance. On a surprising number of boats, even of this size, the illusion of luxury can be promptly shattered when the engines fire up and the boat starts to plane.
On the Predator, the sensation of luxury is, if anything, heightened when under way. Running in smooth water at 20 knots is like flying very low in a remarkably quiet aeroplane. I begin to feel lord of all I survey. I am developing a touch of arrogance; the missing ingredient required to understand such a boat.
ONE-LEVEL LIVING
The Predator series is Sunseeker's low-profile range, although low-silhouette is probably a more apt description. The owners of the boat we tested swapped their similar-sized flybridge Sunseeker because they liked the one-level living the Predator offers.
The secret of the Predator is the sliding sunroof, which opens the forward part of the saloon to sun and fresh air. Press the button and the ambience changes from a luxury drawing room to that of a sporty outdoors gallery. It must be like this when you lower the convertible metal roof on your 500SL Benz. Sadly, I wouldn't know. In a sense, the sunroof replaces the flybridge; you are outdoors while indoors and you have full control over your comfort level.
Cockpit, saloon and helm station are on one level. The galley is down a few steps, while the sleeping accommodation and heads are located on the lower level. The galley has everything one could possibly want. The cockpit has a fridge, ice maker and barbecue, a majestic teak table and a divan that converts to a sun lounge.
There are crew quarters which sleep two in the stern. The garage is in the transom and is long enough to house a three-metre RIB, which is rolled in and out by an electric winch. The full-width landing platform lowers underwater so the tender can float clear. Some owners fit remote control units so that, as they approach the mothership, they can open the garage door, step aboard and put the tender away.
You can describe the Predator as a 'semi-stock' boat. This one has four cabins – Sunseeker calls it the Pullman option – because the owners have several grandchildren. The 'large galley option' deletes the bunk cabin immediately ahead of the galley (on the lower level), and replaces it with a dinette; this is where you would have breakfast, or, if you prefer, a coffee before facing the outdoors. There are numerous engine and genset options. Flatscreen TVs, sound and communications systems can be fitted to suit personal taste.
So, on the lower deck of this version, there are two cabins amidships – one with bunks, one with twin beds. The cabin forward is called the VIP; a perfect apartment with a centreline double berth, head, TV and sound system. The owner's cabin is slightly aft of amidships and spans the full width of the hull. This is a big room; words can't describe it – just look at the pictures!
Decor is your choice. Sunseeker has a big range of 'colour books' (recommended combinations of colours and textures), but the choice is ultimately yours. For one Predator on order, the customer wants to complement the gloss cherrywood interior with high-gloss floors and black leather wherever fabric is used – walls, headliner, seats, etc. On this boat, the mirror finish cherry is combined with ivory-toned leather and fabrics, with black around the helm station.
This is a boat of great luxury, but the layout is a good one for Australia as it embraces the indoor/outdoor philosophy which Aussies are used to, even if they sometimes forget it when ordering a boat. Too many big boats – mediumsized ones too, for that matter – get the balance wrong; they're all about impressing people with the opulence of their living quarters, the number and complexity of toys, and wind up as apartments on water instead of living, breathing marine craft. It is vital to remember that boats are all about the outdoors.
I do not have the tastes of the very rich – nor do I have a chance of developing them – but if the owner's cabin was the room I was given in a five- or six-star hotel, I would be a happy lad. That is the only way I can rate it.
Mike Garrett has put a lot of effort into detailing this craft. When the boats are delivered, the floors are bare timber. The teak cockpit table is also bare so you can choose your own finish. The cockpit table on this particular boat has been coated with several layers of satin polyurethane over gloss. Mike originally gave the floors a satin finish, but found the sheen clashed with the high-gloss trim, so the floor was redone with matt polyurethane.
There is an infinite amount of detail on this boat. The cleats are small sculptures and behind the circular sunbed on the foredeck is a stylish acrylic fitting with cut-outs to hold drinks. Beneath it is a drain in case you spill the Campari and soda when lounging on the sunbeds. The transverse cockpit lounge folds out to form a sunbed and a powered bimini swings out overhead if you need shade in the cockpit. Struts can be added if you want to run with it extended.
The square table in the saloon has folding leaves, which double its area. It can also be lowered if you are just having coffee. The saloon and cockpit flow together as the indoor/outdoor daytime space, so when you need privacy you can always dive downstairs.
The lower deck is the full quid; a no compromise bedroom area in a roomy, luxury hull.
From pulpit to landing platform, she is 21.26m; the hull is 21.40m and she is 5.40m wide. This is not a small boat.
And when running at planing speeds, you don't have to suspend eating, drinking, snoozing and schmoozing, because those quiet diesels and (designer) Don Shead's hull enable life to continue uninterrupted.
We finish our run and Wozza comes aft to the cockpit, where he will use the remote to put her away. He spins her around using the throttles until we are 20 metres from the dock and parallel. The stern thruster – hydraulic and noiseless – pushes her in, then it's a two-second squirt on the bow thruster and we tie up. If he was quick on his feet, the skipper could get on the stern line himself.
If your idea of the perfect yacht is one that looks like a multi-storey car park, the Predator 72 is not for you. With Predator, Sunseeker has got the name right. And for my money, Sunseeker has got the volumes right, too – the internal volumes that is – those that determine the way a boat feels.
In previous eras, owning a big boat demanded sacrifices as they were often hard to handle in small spaces. And you would have probably needed a skipper and crew, with the resultant compromise of your family's privacy. Thanks to its hull shape, propulsion systems, thrusters and electronics, this Predator goes, handles and moors like a 30-footer. Technology wins again.

Q: Project Tango -Start of Service Coordinate System, C API I am working with the Motion Tracking app, trying to record the pose data on C API. The pose data is recorded with respect to the Start_Of_Service coordinate system. I am having trouble understanding this coordinate system.

*

*Is the Z+ always aligned with gravity?

*The back of the device is used as the Y axis?

*The documentation says that the X-Y plane is perpendicular to Z and level with the ground. If Z+ is aligned with gravity and the Tango tablet is at an angle with gravity, how are the X and Y aligned?

A:
Is the Z+ always aligned with gravity?

Per the docs:

Project Tango uses a right-handed, local-level frame for the START_OF_SERVICE and AREA_DESCRIPTION coordinate frames. This convention sets the Z-axis aligned with gravity, with Z+ pointed upwards, and the X-Y plane is perpendicular to gravity and locally level with the ground plane.

So yes. For START_OF_SERVICE and AREA_DESCRIPTION base frames.

The back of the device is used as the Y axis?

Per the docs:

Project Tango uses the direction the back of the device is pointed when the service started as the Y axis

Perpendicular to the device with y+ pointing out the back.

The documentation says that the X-Y plane is perpendicular to Z and level with the ground. If Z+ is aligned with gravity and the Tango tablet is at an angle with gravity, how are the X and Y aligned?

Imagine you are holding the device in the image at the START_OF_SERVICE Frame.  Notice how the device is square with the room.

Now tilt the tablet forward or back about the x axis.  The device moves, but all the axes stay the same.

Now rotate the device right or left about the y axis.  All the axes stay the same.
So if your device is tilted, first rotate the device about the y axis, then about the x axis until the tablet screen aligns with the z axis...at which point it is easier to visualize where your axes are located.

Following on from last year's transliteracy unconference we're holding a transliteracy workshop. Last year the vote was to have a day where we could put into practise our ideas of transliteracy in order to *make* transliterate objects.
We have piles of string, coloured papers, digital cameras, computers, scanners, robot lego, old answering machines, playstation and more.
"The ability to read, write and interact across a range of platforms, tools and media from signing and orality through handwriting, print, TV, radio and film, to digital social networks."
The aim of making transliterate objects will help us understand *why* something is transliterate as right now we seem to have an innate idea of what transliteracy is but how to we begin to describe it in words, images, sounds etc…?
Check it out. Warlpiri men at Lajamanu have recorded and posted a video up on YouTube about recent events during which a female police officer went onto men's ceremonial grounds. Their critique is lodged in the cultural protocols and law that surround gender specific ceremonies. The fact that they are making their complaint and their call for police to understand their law on YouTube marks a new mode of communication with (or at least an attempt at communication with) police and the wider non-Aboriginal public. And it looks like the police were listening…they are going to apologize and meet with the community about the incident.
A really fascinating project called "80 Million Tiny Images" attempts to colour map every noun in the English language via Google Image Search.
The authors have used Wordnet, an online thesarus, to create semantic groupings (e.g. plants) and then sub-groupings in which the nouns were arranged. Each noun was then the subject of a Google Image search, such as that shown by "Eastern Poison Oak" in the example above, and the dominant colour in the most popular images was determined.
The semantic grouping means that pixels close to each other are closely semantically related while those further away are not. As can be seen, this semantic grouping is often visible through colour similarities – it is relatively easy to guess where the plant grouping is placed.
This kind of visualisation might also prove of interest when exploring tagging and other web2.0 devices. I wonder what the colour of Linux, Microsoft or Apple would be. If I could find money in 80 Million Tiny Images, what would it's colour be and what might that tell us about the collective intelligence?
Are You Literate/Transliterate? | BlogHer in which she argues that 'In order to survive in the information age we will become transliterate. It is not as scary as it sounds. We do this intuitively on a daily basis.' Her post includes this interesting video from The Literacy Project. This is especially timely because on Monday 28th Jan we're holding a one day workshop on making transliterate objects, and we'll be recording some video during the day. I'll be curious to see how the two compare. It's also somewhat comforting to see that whilst we struggle to define transliteracy there's still a lot of uncertainty around the root word itself!
"What if scholarly books were peer reviewed by anonymous blog comments rather than by traditional, selected peer reviewers?
So he called up the folks at the Institute for the Future of the Book, who developed CommentPress, a tool for adding digital margin notes to blogs (The Chronicle, September 28, 2007). Would they help out? He wondered if he could post sections of his book on Grand Text Auto and allow readers, using CommentPress, to add critiques right in the margins.
The idea was to tap the wisdom of his crowd. Visitors to the blog might not read the whole manuscript, as traditional reviewers do, but they might weigh in on a section in which they have some expertise.
Each day he will post a new chunk of his draft to the blog, and readers will be invited to comment. That should open the floodgates of input, possibly generating thousands of responses by the time all 300-plus pages of the book are posted. "My plan is to respond to everything that seems substantial," says the author."
By JEFFREY R. YOUNG in The Chronicle of Higher Education.
"TOKYO – Until recently, cellphone novels – composed on phone keypads by young women wielding dexterous thumbs and read by fans on their tiny screens – had been dismissed in Japan as a subgenre unworthy of the country that gave the world its first novel, "The Tale of Genji," a millennium ago. Then last month, the year-end best-seller tally showed that cellphone novels, republished in book form, have not only infiltrated the mainstream but have come to dominate it.
One such star, a 21-year-old woman named Rin, wrote "If You" over a six-month stretch during her senior year in high school. While commuting to her part-time job or whenever she found a free moment, she tapped out passages on her cellphone and uploaded them on a popular Web site for would-be authors.
"My mother didn't even know that I was writing a novel," said Rin, who, like many cellphone novelists, goes by only one name. "So at first when I told her, well, I'm coming out with a novel, she was like, what? She didn't believe it until it came out and appeared in bookstores."
YouTube – David Lynch on iPhone Self-explanatory!

Manuscript (including Abstract, Tables and Figures)
This should be written by the corresponding author and must contain the following:
The type of manuscript submission (Original Article, Review Article etc)
A sentence or two on the subject of the study.
Confirmation that the study is not under consideration for publication by another journal.
Confirmation that all of the authors have made a substantial contribution to the manuscript and that they have seen and approved the submission draft.
A conflict-of-interest statement regarding the authors. Where there is none, this should be clearly stated. More information can be found on ethical and publication ethics of the JEVTM.
A clear statement that the authos follow the ethical guidlines as stated in the ethical section of the JEVTM.
This should consist of the following:
Title: This should be concise and reflect the type and purpose of the study.
Authors: These should be listed in order for publication, with first name, initials and surname, along with highest academic degree.
Affiliations: The institution(s) that the authors are affiliated with should be listed. A full address is not required, but enough to ensure identification.
Corresponding Author: This individual should be clearly identified, along with full institutional address and e-mail address.
Author Contributions: All authors are expected to have substantially contributed to the study and manuscript writing.
Funding Declaration: Any grant funding should be listed.
Presentation: The meeting where any of the submitted data was presented should be listed.
This should consist of text in 12 pts, double spaced with a justified margin, written in US English. While each article type has specified headings, the use of sub-headings is encouraged to aid clarity. These should be formatted as follows:
Main Heading Bold
Sub-Heading Bold and Italicized
Sub-sub-heading Italicized
The abstract should be a maximum of 250 words and consist of the following headings:
Original Studies
Manuscripts reporting unique scientific studies should be no longer than 3000 words. They should consist of the following sections:
Introduction: This should concisely present the background to the problem that the study hopes to answer. A hypothesis should be clearly stated.
Methods: This section should be suitably detailed to permit replication of the study. The regulatory permissions for the study should also be detailed, e.g. Institutional Review Board, ethical committee etc... including a protocol/registration number. Where animal research has been undertaken, the institutional animal care and use guidelines that have been followed should be clearly stated.
Results: These should involve the reporting of the salient positive and negative findings of the study in clear language. The use of images, figures and tables are encouraged, of which the data should not be duplicated in the prose. There is no maximum number of figures or tables, but these should be appropriate to the study. should be reported to three decimal places.
Discussion: This should place the reported study findings in the context of the literature. Limitations and future direction should also be discussed. Authors must be careful to ensure that conclusions are not overstated and are supported by data.
Short, focused Editorials on an important aspect of endovascular hemorrhage control are welcomed. These should endeavor to bring attention to an important topic, or accompany an article published within the journal. The latter will be invited by the Editor. Submitted manuscripts should be no longer than 1500 words.
Narrative Review Articles
This style of article can afford the author considerable latitude in examining a pertinent topic in endovascular hemorrhage control. The literature should be examined objectively and presented to the reader in the context of current understanding. The author should be able to synthesize a narrative, which leaves the reader with a good understanding of an emerging or controversial topic. The author is welcome (and encouraged) to express an opinion, but where this is the case, it should be clearly stated.
Articles should be a maximum of 5000 words. There is no formal structure; however, the use of logical headings/sub-headings is important to enable readers to follow the article easily. The abstract should also be unstructured and be a maximum of 150 words.
Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses
Where there is a topic within the subject area of endovascular hemorrhage control that has a substantial evidence base, a Systematic Review with/without a Meta-Analysis is considered more appropriate than a narrative review article. These articles should follow the methodology established by PRISMA. Submission should be a maximum of 5000 words and authors should include a PRISMA checklist in their submission. The overall aim is to provide a pooled analysis that enables firm conclusions to be drawn on a particular subject.
In the evolving world of endovascular hemorrhage control, the advice and opinion of actively practicing clinicians is of great importance. Both solicited and unsolicited submissions are reviewed, both on major or minor components on endovascular techniuqes. This can be presented in the context of "evidence" or just as an opinion. The use of quality images and diagrams is encouraged. The submission should be a maximum of 1500 words.
Images of Interest
Rather than accept case reports, the Journal accepts images of interest, which include a short commentary. The aim of this section is to demonstrate and illustrate an educational message, rather than just to demonstrate dramatic pathology. Images can be submitted as a multi-panel with a series of scans/photographs in order to support the message presented in the narrative. The submission should be a maximum of 250 words.
Support for Language and Article Content
The aim of the Journal, in addition to the dissemination of peer-reviewed evidence, is to support English-second-language authors and early career scientists. Provided that a submitted manuscript has good scientific merit, the Journal is able to provide a free language editing service. Furthermore, where article content would benefit from high-quality figures, artwork can be commissioned to support the publication.
References should follow the Vancouver Style and should be noted in the text numerically in sequence within the text using square brackets, eg: [1] or [1,2] or [1;3].
An example article:
Stannard W, Rutman A, Wallis C, O'Callaghan C. Central microtubular agenesis causing primary ciliary dyskinesia. Am J Respir Crit Care Med. 2004;169:634.
Where there are more than six authors, the first three should be included followed by et al.
Supplementary Digital Content
Where manuscripts would benefit from additional content (datasets, images, video), which does not necessarily need inclusion in the published article, supplementary digital content (SDC) can be hosted. This includes, but is not limited to, tables, figures or video. Authors should include in their cover letter a description of this content and its purpose.
Ethical & Legal Considerations
A submitted manuscript must be an original contribution not previously published (except as an abstract and should be indicated); cannot be under consideration for publication in other journals; and, if accepted, must not be published or reproduced elsewhere. All authors are obliged to provide reractions or corrections of mistakes after review process. The final responsibility for the scientific accuracy and validity of published manuscripts rests with the authors, not with the Journal, its editors, or the publisher (Örebro University Hospital).
Detailed ethical guidelines
Maintaining integrity of the research and its presentation is helped by following the rules of good scientific practice, which is outlined here:
- The manuscript should not be submitted to more than one journal for simultaneous consideration.
- The submitted work should be original and should not have been published elsewhere in any form or language (partially or in full), unless the new work concerns an expansion of previous work. (Please provide transparency on the re-use of material to avoid the concerns about text-recycling ('self-plagiarism').
- A single study should not be split up into several parts to increase the quantity of submissions and submitted to various journals or to one journal over time (i.e. 'salami-slicing/publishing').
- Concurrent or secondary publication is sometimes justifiable, provided certain conditions are met. Examples include: translations or a manuscript that is intended for a different group of readers.
- Results should be presented clearly, honestly, and without fabrication, falsification or inappropriate data manipulation (including image based manipulation). Authors should adhere to discipline-specific rules for acquiring, selecting and processing data.
- No data, text, or theories by others are presented as if they were the author's own ('plagiarism'). Proper acknowledgements to other works must be given (this includes material that is closely copied (near verbatim), summarized and/or paraphrased), quotation marks (to indicate words taken from another source) are used for verbatim copying of material, and permissions secured for material that is copyrighted.
- Authors should avoid untrue statements about an entity (who can be an individual person or a company) or descriptions of their behavior or actions that could potentially be seen as personal attacks or allegations about that person.
- Authors are strongly advised to ensure the author group, the Corresponding Author, and the order of authors are all correct at submission. Adding and/or deleting authors during the revision stages is generally not permitted, but in some cases may be warranted. Reasons for changes in authorship should be explained in detail. Please note that changes to authorship cannot be made after acceptance of a manuscript.
In order to maintain the highest scientific standards, the journal follows strict quality standards:
Upon request authors should be prepared to send relevant documentation or data in order to verify the validity of the results presented. This could be in the form of raw data, samples, records, etc. Sensitive information in the form of confidential or proprietary data is excluded.
If there is suspicion of misbehavior or alleged fraud the Journal and/or Publisher will carry out an investigation following COPE guidelines. If, after investigation, there are valid concerns, the author(s) concerned will be contacted under their given e-mail address and given an opportunity to address the issue. Depending on the situation, this may result in the Journal's and/or Publisher's implementation of the following measures, including, but not limited to:
If the manuscript is still under consideration, it may be rejected and returned to the author.
If the article has already been published online, depending on the nature and severity of the infraction:
- an erratum/correction may be placed with the article
- an expression of concern may be placed with the article
- or in severe cases retraction of the article may occur.
The reason will be given in the published erratum/correction, expression of concern or retraction note. Please note that retraction means that the article is maintained on the platform, watermarked "retracted" and the explanation for the retraction is provided in a note linked to the watermarked article.
Authors have an obligation to correct mistakes once they discover a significant error or inaccuracy in their published article. The author(s) is/are requested to contact the journal and explain in what sense the error is impacting the article. A decision on how to correct the literature will depend on the nature of the error. This may be a correction or retraction. The retraction note should provide transparency which parts of the article are impacted by the error.
Editors Responsibilities
Editors of JEVTM has responsibilities toward the authors who provide the content of the journals, the peer reviewers who comment on the suitability of manuscripts for publication, the journal's readers and the scientific community, the owners/publishers of the journals, and the public as a whole.
Reviewers Responsibilities
Peer review assists editors in making editorial decisions and, through editorial communications with authors, may assist authors in improving their manuscripts. Peer review is an essential component of formal scholarly communication and lies at the heart of scientific endeavour.
Any invited referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should immediately notify the editors and decline the invitation to review so that alternative reviewers can be contacted.
Any manuscripts received for review are confidential documents and must be treated as such; they must not be shown to or discussed with others except if authorized by the Editor-in-Chief (who would only do so under exceptional and specific circumstances). This applies also to invited reviewers who decline the review invitation.
Reviews should be conducted objectively and observations formulated clearly with supporting arguments so that authors can use them for improving the manuscript. Personal criticism of the authors is inappropriate. Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that is an observation, derivation or argument that has been reported in previous publications should be accompanied by the relevant citation. A reviewer should also notify the editors of any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other manuscript (published or unpublished) of which they have personal knowledge.
Any invited referee who has conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies or institutions connected to the manuscript and the work described therein should immediately notify the editors to declare their conflicts of interest and decline the invitation to review so that alternative reviewers can be contacted.
Unpublished material disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in a reviewer's own research without the express written consent of the authors. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for the reviewer's personal advantage. This applies also to invited reviewers who decline the review invitation.
Patient Anonymity and Informed Consent
It is the authors's responsibility to ensure that a patient's anonymity is protected, to verify that any experimental investigation with human subjects reported in the manuscript was performed with informed consent and follows all the guidelines for experimental investigation with human subjects required by the institution(s) with which all the authors are affiliated and/or ethical committee processing. Authors are asked to comply with the general guidelines for integrity protection, as listed by the health ministries in the EU, the EU commission and US department of health. (example: https://www.hhs.gov/hipaa/forprofessionals/special-topics/research/index.html). Authors should mask patient's eyes and always remove patient names from figures as well as genital organs as possible.
Protection of Human Subjects & Animals in Research
For original articles in the Journal that report research involving animals, the corresponding author must confirm that all experiments were performed in accordance with relevant guidelines and regulations (i.e. IACUC guidelines and federal regulations, or EU guidelines for animal research). One recommended documenting animals studies, might be the ARRIVE reporting guidelines (PLoS Bio 8(6), e1000412,2010). We encourage to follow the RRR principles of animal studies in medicine: https://www.feam.eu/wp-content/uploads/FEAM-Forum_Round-table-animals_Report_Final.pdf)
All studies of human subjects must contain a statement within the Methods section indicating approval of the study by an institutional review body (i.e. Institutional Review Board or ethical committee), and, if appropriate, a statement confirming that informed consent was obtained from all subjects if possible. If no legally informed consent can be obtained, such as in research carried out with human subjects receiving emergency treatment, authors should indicate as possible if a waiver of regulatory requirements for obtaining and documenting informed consent applies.
All submissions are screened for inappropriate image manipulation, plagiarism, duplicate publication and other issues that violate research ethics. Depending on the outcome of these investigations, the Journal may decide to publish errata, or, in cases of serious scientific misconduct, ask authors to retract their paper or to impose retraction on them.
Patients have a right to privacy that should not be infringed without informed consent. Identifying information, including patients' names, initials, or hospital numbers, should not be published in written descriptions, photographs, and pedigrees unless the information is essential for scientific purposes and the patient (or parent or guardian) gives written informed consent for publication. Informed consent for this purpose requires that a patient who is identifiable be shown the manuscript to be published. Authors should identify Individuals who provide writing assistance and disclose the funding source for this assistance.
Identifying details should be omitted if they are not essential. Complete anonymity is difficult to achieve, however, and informed consent should be obtained if there is any doubt. For example, masking the eye region in photographs of patients is inadequate protection of anonymity. If identifying characteristics are altered to protect anonymity, such as in genetic pedigrees, authors should provide assurance that alterations do not distort scientific meaning and editors should so note.
The requirement for informed consent should be included in the journal's instructions for authors. When informed consent has been obtained it should be indicated in the published article.
- International Committee of Medical Journal Editors ("Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals") -- February 2006

Precarious Belongings
Affect and Nationalism in Asia
Edited by Chih-ming Wang and Daniel PS Goh
This edited collection explores affect in nationalism as method of producing inclusion and exclusion in Asia.
Hardback ISBN: 9781786602244 Release date: Apr 2017
Paperback ISBN: 9781786602251 Release date: Jul 2017
Ebook ISBN: 9781786602268 Release date: Apr 2017
Series: Asian Cultural Studies: Transnational and Dialogic Approaches
World / Asian
In the midst of refugee crises, terrorist attacks and territorial disputes across the globe, nationalism remains a powerful force in generating affects of inclusion and exclusion. In Asia, inter-Asian migration, enabled and disrupted by a history of colonialism, capitalist globalization and political conflicts, has rendered the idea of nation as both politically distinct and culturally malleable.
Precarious Belongings: Affect and Nationalism in Asia explores the affective politics of Asian nationalism by addressing the entwined structures of precarious belonging and national feelings. Bringing together leading scholars it looks at how the reification of nationalism in social movements, popular sentiments, online groups, and cultural representation directs hatred towards migrant and minority groups across Asia. The book posits that nationalist affects are embedded in the politics of exclusion, and seeks to make room for precarious belongings in the transnational and multicultural present. It should be of interest to students and scholars interested in Asian Cultural Studies, transnationalism, migration and nationalism.

Relationships between affect and national identity are a crucial aspect of the critical perspectivism ushered in by contemporaneity. This book is an important contribution to knowledge of those relationships in Asian contexts.
Paul Gladston, Professor of Contemporary Visual Cultures and Critical Theory, University of Nottingham
Given the contemporary recrudescence of nationalism in varied forms across Europe, Asia, and North America, this publication is a timely one, providing significant insights from a wide variety of Asian perspectives.
Christopher Connery, Professor, World Literature and Cultural Studies, University of California, Santa Cruz
Asian nationalisms have often been discussed as state ideologies. The present volume rather discusses Asian nations as communal identities constituted by affects. Its demonstration of the seamless interweaving of love and hate in the operation of Asian nations is both fascinating and disturbing.
Kristen Nordhaug, Professor of Development Studies, Oslo and Akershus University College
This illuminating collection offers grounded studies of experiences shaped by various nationalist moods being mobilised across Asia. It is also a riveting read for anyone anywhere concerned by the new forms of populism, civic disenchantment, 'hate-loving' speech, and digital militancy erupting now world-wide. Posing the question of conviviality in an age of precarity, this book helps us all to think.

Cornwall gets an assurance 'robust measures' are in place as a ship from ebola hit Sierra Leone heads to Falmouth.
The Gypsum Centennial is due to arrive later this month for a refit.
Truro and Falmouth's MP Sarah Newton says health bosses have told her crew will be questioned and have their temperatures taken if needed.
She said: "I am keenly aware of how concerned, local residents are about the arrival of the ship from West Africa into the Port of Falmouth in light of the ongoing Ebola crisis.
"I have taken these concerns to the very highest levels and have met with the Public Health Minister and officials from Public Health England as well as the Chief Medical Officer Professor Dame Sally Davies to press for robust measures to be taken.
"Public Health England emphasise that, unless an individual has symptoms, and in particular diarrhoea, vomiting or bleeding as a result of their Ebola infection they are not a risk to others.
"I will continue to press or everything possible to be done to keep local people safe."

A Stable American Genius
Posted on January 8, 2018 by S.C. Tanner
Are you really smart or a stable genius? Are you satisfied with the crumbs that fall from the corporate tables; the tables of the wealthy? This is what "trickle-down economics" is really all about. Engage your genius and think about this for a moment.
Do not be so easily exploited by propaganda. Propaganda is engineered statements designed to distort human perception. "Trickle-down economics" does not sound as bad as "crumbs falling from the tables of the wealthy," but both describe a general population at the economic mercy of an aristocracy; a population that should feel grateful for what little the wealthy throw to them. Is this the United States of America envisioned by its founders?
The founders of America were tired of aristocrats and the oppression that accompanied them. They envisioned a nation where "all men are created equal" (Declaration of Independence). Unfortunately, they were not able to create a government that perfected that vision. Instead, they laid a foundation for future generations to build upon, and future generations did build upon it.
A great war was waged to eliminate the bondage of slavery, but this did not fully establish equality. A struggle then began for civil rights that was heralded by the passage of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution in 1868. This important amendment grants all citizens "the equal protection of the laws." While equality was still an American value in 1868, it was far from perfected. The continuing struggle for civil rights would be greatly magnified in the twentieth century, and expanded beyond race to include gender and religion. It is time to include another type of civil rights: the rights of the general population (the People) over corporations.
The purposes of American government are clearly stated in the preamble of the Constitution:
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
How does severe economic regimentation that favors a wealthy minority and enslaves the general population to corporate policies and wages "promote the general Welfare?" If the significant tax breaks recently given to corporations were instead provided to the general population, the economy would also be stimulated. The difference is that the corporations (and their wealthy owners) would have to work to earn that money, instead of it simply having it handed to them. It is hypocritical and reprehensible when the wealthy and their political mouthpieces speak derogatively of the "entitlements" given the poor when they are much more "entitled." The general American population has a right to equal protection under the tax laws also, but they are not getting it.
America has not perfected equality, so anyone who values the principles this nation was founded upon should be suspicious when a politician wants to "restore" America. To "restore" something is to return it to a previous condition or state. Do we want to return America to a state where people are less equal, and therefore, less free? Is it coincidental that "restoring America" became a campaign slogan after America elected its first black president? It is rather obvious that America still needs to work on equality for all "the People."
Latin provides the root for "genius" which generally concerns a person's spirit (Online Etymology Dictionary). An authentic American genius can easily recognize that a corporate raider has taken over the American government, is plundering the public coffers and stripping our national treasures. That corporate raider is enabled by politicians who have forsaken the public trust for campaign contributions from the wealthy. How stable is your American genius? Do you believe that you are more entitled than others?

use remember to display the last scale or chord again. Drag the upper image over the new one for comparison. You can also compare chords and scales.
Finally: learning scale diagrams does not automatically make you a good Blues guitar player – Blues is more than pentatonic!
There are many great scale and chord generators on the net. But this one is a bit different – it has special Blues extras like overlay of pentatonic scales, highlighting of Blue notes, slide mode or special tunings often used in Blues.
If you miss a chord, scale or tuning or find an error please email me!
The fretboard scheme is generated as an image using php. Scales and chords are stored as arrays containing the intervals. With an array containing all notes and an array containing the string notes all scale or chord positions on the fretboard are calculated and written as dot or note name.


They let you put away up to $ 2,700 for an individual this year, or $ 5,000 for a family through payroll deductions.
There's a catch with FSAs: you have to sign up during your company's open enrollment period, or during a special enrollment period if you have a life event like getting married or having a newborn.
The other thing to know about FSAs is that you need to figure out how much you'll use. Under federal tax rules you can only roll over $ 500 a year, so if you don't use your savings, you'll lose that money.
How do you know if you're in an HSA-eligible plan? For 2019, plans with a minimum of deductible of $ 1,350 for an individual and $ 2,700 for a family are eligible.
How much can you save? Up to $ 3,500 this year for an individual, and up to $ 7,000 for a family.
Under tax rules a Health Savings Account is a lot like an IRA savings account. You can usually contribute any time of the year, and the money you don't use rolls over from year to year.
And just like an IRA you can invest HSA money if you don't need it now, and let it grow tax-free. When you withdraw that cash for health expenses at a future date, you will not have to pay taxes on any of the gains from those HSA investments.
So, if you're at the end of the year and still have money left over in your flexible savings account, you can always use the cash on a new pair of specs so you don't lose it.

Q: Junit doesn't read static field i have this class with this static field
public class Parameters {

    public Parameters()
    {
    }

    public static Image img = new Image(new File("myImage.png").toURI().toString());

}

and the junit class
import Parameters.*;

@Test
    void test() {
    Image img = Parameters.img; //error here

}

the problem is that when i debug Parameters.img is null, i get the error
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError,
i don't know how to fix it, to read that image from the test
also to mention the Image class is from javafx.

A: That code style is not a good idea.
Your Parameters class includes static initialization - anytime any code so much as looks in the general direction of Parameters, the JVM realizes that Parameters hasn't been loaded yet, so the JVM goes out and loads it; as part of that job, the code new Image(new File("myImage.png").toURI().toString()) runs, and that throws an exception.
Exceptions in initializers are annoying for a number of reasons, thus leading to the conclusion: Do not put code that is somewhat likely to error in initializers.
A better strategy would be to make a method instead:
private static Image getMyImage() {
    return new Image(...);
}

or possibly involve a cache of some sort (first time load it, future times just return the cached object). Now the exception is thrown 'during normal program flow' (as part of invoking a method, not as part of loading a class).
More generally, this concept doesn't work with File at all, you don't want images as separate files, they are resources and should be in the same place your class files are, even (especially!) if your class files are in a jar file. That involves: new Image(Parameters.class.getResource("myImage.png")). This tells the JVM to look in the same place Parameters.class is at.
This code should still be in a method and not in a static field init like this.

This morning, the Supreme Court finally released it's ruling in King v. Burwell, the case that determined "whether individuals in states that opted not to build their own exchanges are eligible for health insurance subsidies." In a 6-3 decision, the court ruled in favor of keeping subsidies for those purchasing health insurance on the federal exchange, which is wonderful news for Texans. Justices Ginsburg, Breyer, Sotomayor, Kagan, Kennedy and Roberts formed the majority, while Scalia, Alito, and Thomas dissented.
Texas is one of the 34 states that did not build its own state healthcare exchange, instead opting to rely on the federal marketplace. Thanks to this ruling, the 1 million Texans who receive subsidies to purchase health insurance will keep their subsidies, and their affordable coverage.
The consequences for Texans could have been devastating. Statewide, about 1.2 million people, or 4.5% of the population have purchased health insurance through the federal exchange. According to a recent report, 86% of those who bought insurance through the federal marketplace receive the premium subsidies that King v. Burwell called into question. Had those subsidies been lost, "Most of the people who have received premium tax credits and cost-sharing assistance from the federal government would drop their policies because they no longer could afford coverage." The increased number of uninsured residents would shift " costs to employers who provide coverage and health care providers who don't get paid." It would also have directly impacted anyone who pays property taxes, since those taxes are used to support safety-net hospitals.
Texas' situation would have been especially terrible, since there are already 1 million residents uninsured due to the governor's decision not to expand Medicaid. If those receiving subsidies had lost their coverage, Texas would have cemented its status as the state with the most uninsured residents by far.
The loss of subsidies would have created what's referred to as a "death spiral," where increased prices would lead healthy people to opt-out of coverage, leaving only those who were ill and needed health insurance to remain insured. Covering sick people costs more, and the loss of premiums from healthy people would mean there wouldn't be as much available to mitigate those costs. Thus begins the "death spiral," as prices would continue to rise out of control.
""I am thankful that the Supreme Court did the right thing by protecting the millions of Americans who have secured more affordable health insurance under the Affordable Care Act. This ruling is a win for Texas, as our state has the most to lose with the highest number of uninsured and the most people – over three million – eligible for marketplace coverage.
People may disagree about the law, but one fact is indisputable – many people have and will benefit from the Affordable Care Act. Today, the uninsured rate for the nation has dropped by one-fifth. Millions of women get preventive services like mammograms and pap smears without a co-pay. Health plans must now spend 80 to 85 percent of every premium dollar on health care, insurers can no longer deny coverage to those with pre-existing conditions, and young adults can be covered under their parent's plan until age 26.
One person who probably isn't happy about the ruling is Governor Greg Abbott. Prior to the ruling, he had expressed hope that the Affordable Care Act would be gutted, happily declaring, "We are going to do everything we can to allow the law to implode so that we can go down a pathway of providing real healthcare reform in this country." While Abbott may have hoped for an alternate ruling that stripped a million Texans of affordable health coverage, fortunately, that's not what happened. Instead, Texans can rest easy tonight, knowing that their health coverage is here to stay.
The full opinion of the court is available here.


@Odur you use a dedicated filter per lens? Or simply use one ND size with adapters? If so which do you have? I really have to invest in more ND's. Mainly use Matte box but want to move to screw on.
I generally use one specific ND size and different ring adapters to apply the filter to any kind of lens.
@Odur I didn't realize it was your vid... good work! I like the shot composition as well. What sharpness level do you run on the GH5 with the PL 42.5mm lens? It looks "just right".
Wow, that Zacuto setup is nice. I'm scared about how much it will cost.
I really need someone to "sell" me the idea of camera cages. I've never owned one, and struggle to understand why I would want to make a small camera bigger.
Now- don't misunderstand me: I think camera "rigs" are great, as this adds stability for shooting. Just a cage by itself always seemed to me large. Maybe I need to get one and see how it fits into my workflow?
Maybe if I used a HDMI recorder a cage would make more sense.
Then again I have been working hard on my GAS problem.
Idea is exactly to make camera bigger for event coverage and for shoulder cam stuff. Plus you have controls on top handle and right handle.
The sharpness was set to regular 0 value.
However one thing I like about Zacuto cage solution is the extra connection to eyelets.
I generally don't change the sharpness value. But I often set "noise reduction" to "-5".
@inqb8tr nice! Do post final result.
@MikeLinn did we ever find out which camera is which? Strange- because in theory matching cameras should be quite easy these days... I definitely like the left image better. (Left when you watch the video).
Ok - I've been shooting a client project for 3 days now and the final day of the shoot, backing up the final batch of shots 22 files were completely missing! Shots for 2 hours of the day are just not there, there are shots from before and after, but nothing for a specific 2 hours. Anybody had anything like this happen? The card i've been using is a Transcend 128 u3 card. Has been working very well up until today.
@nobbystylus try to repair your card with some of free card repair software. If files was on card than it still there.
Yes, and utilize both card slots from now on, on critical jobs like that.
So here it is, my frist work with the GH5.

Ah yes, the licensing fee.
We have been lucky enough to have many wonderful people who dedicated their time and talent to put this film together and are graciously awaiting payment—our "deferred champions," we call them. The Licensing fee will help us pay these talented folks back, as well as keep our little Outreach Operation going.
We are an independent, grassroots production. So, unlike Hollywood studios who finance films and huge advertising budgets, the license fee is the one solid way we can try to recuperate our costs and keep this little bean sprout of a movement up and sprouting, plus it'd be nice to be nice to feed the director from time to time.
When you fill out the screening license and pay the appropriate fee you are purchasing the rights to screen the movie in accordance to the license you choose for your specific event.
For those hard-working individuals out there and grassroots organizers we feel your strive, drive & appreciate all your support!
