3 Steps You Can Take to Provide More Accessible Healthcare
Aine Greaney August 7, 2020 8:00 am
When patients negatively review their U.S. health providers, most cite their clinicians' poor bedside manner or the front desk staff's rude customer service. Persons of color, lower socio-economic status, or those with limited health literacy or English language skills may be even more dissatisfied or disengaged. What steps can healthcare professionals take to deliver more culturally competent and accessible healthcare?
Cultural differences make it difficult for many to receive the care they need. For example, in a California-based patient study, Spanish-speaking respondents were significantly more dissatisfied with their medical care than dual-language Latino patients and non-Latino (white), English-speaking patients. On the east coast, in a survey of five urban emergency departments, only 52% of non-English-speaking patients were satisfied with their hospital's emergency care (as compared with 71% of English speakers).
3 Steps to Deliver More Culturally Competent and Accessible Healthcare
Go beyond the EMR for patient demographics: America is growing more diverse, and the local, county or state demographics can shift within a three-year period. According to the U.S. Census Bureau approximately 21.6% of Americans speak a language other than English at home. Among those, approximately 8% self-report that they speak English "less than very well." Meanwhile, the National Center for Educational Statistics reports that 21-23% of adult Americans rank in the lowest level of literacy skills – such as those required to read and understand basic healthcare instructions and information. There is some statistical overlap between second language, lower literacy, low-income and uninsured Americans—plus those with chronic health conditions that require frequent medical services. Who lives and works within your service area? Check your hospital's most recent Community Benefits Report or consult the USDA's county-by-county data sets. Also, do all your colleagues—including you—know how to contact your facility's professional translation or language access services?
Avoid 'clinical speak:' In a study of 249 adults—50% of whom were college-educated–nearly 80% of hospital patients did not understand that "hemorrhage" meant "bleeding," "myocardial infarction" meant "heart attack," or that "fractured" meant "broken." Collaborate with your patient-education or marketing departments to create accessible patient education materials (PEM). Find guidelines and resources—including the recommended grade-level for writing PEMs –at U.S. Minority Health and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services' websites. Finally, know the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health's 15 national CLAS standards for culturally and linguistically appropriate patient services.
Address Implicit Bias in Healthcare: In a University of Albany School of Public Health study, many physicians and nurses self-reported their auto-assumptions that their patients who were African American or lower income were more passive, less intelligent, more likely to engage in risky behaviors and less likely to adhere to aftercare plans (than white or middle-class patients). Also, health-disparity reports from the Institute of Medicines and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality revealed that African Americans were more likely to receive sub-par medical care.
At your school or health system, how are you training about race-based implicit biases or addressing microaggressions in medicine among or against your students or colleagues? Start by examining your own biases by taking the Harvard University Implicit Bias Test.
Even as America's population grows more diverse, over 50% of practicing physicians are white. There is a persistent lack of racial and linguistic concordance between patients and their healthcare providers.
Among those negative online physician reviews, many patients cited providers' apparent indifference and poor listening skills. From the front desk to the clinical encounter to aftercare instructions to billing, these are baseline and best-practice skills that can make it easier for your facility to deliver culturally competent and accessible healthcare.

UPDF denies withdrawing from Omusinga palace
April 6, 2016NewsComments: 0
The UPDF has denied reports of withdrawing guards attached to the Rwenzururu Kingdom.
This follows Sunday's clashes between the Rwenzururu traditional royal guards and UPDF soldiers that left four people dead.
The second division army spokesperson Major Ronald Kakurungu says the UPDF presence is mandated by the constitution.
He says the army have already met with the Omusinga to agree on the command structure of his security detail and collected their three guns but no withdrawal has been done.
He adds that they are now focused on harmonising the operations of both the traditional royal guards and the UPDF soldiers to prevent further clashes.

How can I fix this problem.
Help appreciated.

A: From reference

How table and database names are stored on disk and used in MySQL is
affected by the lower_case_table_names system variable.
lower_case_table_names can take the values shown in the following
table. This variable does not affect case sensitivity of trigger
identifiers. On Unix, the default value of lower_case_table_names is
0. On Windows, the default value is 1. On macOS, the default value is 2.

Value 0:

Table and database names are stored on disk using the lettercase
specified in the CREATE TABLE or CREATE DATABASE statement. Name
comparisons are case-sensitive. You should not set this variable to 0
if you are running MySQL on a system that has case-insensitive file
names (such as Windows or macOS). If you force this variable to 0 with
--lower-case-table-names=0 on a case-insensitive file system and access MyISAM tablenames using different lettercases, index corruption
may result.

Brendan McDaid – a lifetime in the increasingly crowded golf teaching profession
Brendan McDaid
Brendan McDaid is 35 years into a career based on decoding the mysteries of the golf swing for aspiring Tour players and handicap hackers. McDaid, acknowledged as one of Ireland's foremost golf coaches, has been tutoring players of all levels since he first joined what is now the PGA in Ireland, in 1985.
Born in Letterkenny, County Donegal on April 11, 1961, McDaid moved with his family to Skibbereen, County Cork five years later. It was there, in the scenic surroundings of the West Cork town and the Skibbereen Golf Club, that Brendan's passion for golf was first nurtured. Decades later, he remains fascinated with the game and how best to remedy the faults and foibles of those who turn to him for tuition.
Therein lies the secret of his longevity and effectiveness in a crowded market, a market which includes hundreds of teaching professionals in Ireland and multi-thousands of coaching videos on the internet.
Back in 1985 when he entered the PGA system, there were 125 PGA pros in all categories; now it is up to 575. While he has the utmost respect for all professionals who try to make a career and a good living from tutoring – he was Irish PGA Captain in 1997 – McDaid reckons the market place is too crowded.
"That's far too many," he said. "The business is very competitive. I think the PGA, like, the model they use for training in England – I'm only giving you my opinion, they might not agree with me – but the more students they have going through, they're able to charge them plenty, so I think it's a numbers game for them.
"Now, maybe there's more golf courses opening, but definitely there's too many student professionals going through.
"But look, if you've got 500 professionals over here, there isn't the business for them."
His own business is thriving with the reputation earned over three decades continuing to attract golfers who need their game sorted out. McDaid's love of the sport was nurtured almost as soon as he could walk. His father, Dr Kevin McDaid was a keen golfer. His mother, Eileen O'Grady, played interprovincial golf for Connacht and Munster, and was capped for Ireland in 1959.
Their eldest son, indeed all their children – Brendan, Kevin junior, Paul and Eileen Rose (now Power) – were fine players, especially Eileen Rose who became one of the best women golfers ever to play the game in Ireland.
Her three Irish Ladies Close titles and selection for the Curtis Cup plus a host of international appearances are a fine legacy from Eileen Rose. She and her husband Eddie Power, a three-time Irish men's Close winner, would still be a formidable mixed foursomes partnership, and their son Mark, now in college at Wake Forest, Arnold Palmer's alma mater, is a rising star in the GUI ranks.
But back to Brendan and his early days. An innate talent allied to a diligent work ethic brought notable under-age success. Indeed, young Brendan made national headlines in August 1972, when, aged 11, he shot 44 points in competition off 24 handicap to win a weekly prize in the highly popular 'Sunday Independent Philips Electrical (Irish) golf competition' which ran for many years in the newspaper.
This was quite a big deal for a kid from Skibbereen. The Sunday Indo sold over 320,000 copies a week at the time, so the McDaid name came to prominence early in his career.
The Sunday Indo report noted Brendan's golfing heritage, and revealed he had used his mother's clubs for his 83 gross on the then par-70, 9-hole Skibbereen layout, discarding the Peter Alliss clubs that were specially made for him a few years earlier because he felt he wasn't hitting the ball far enough.
"My dad was a very keen golfer. My mum played for Ireland before she got married. She was a very impressive ball striker for a lady.
"Me being the oldest, I used to go golfing with my dad. We'd go out most days.
"I'd usually go to the golf course with my dad before school. The golf club was halfway between the house and the school, so I often left the bicycle at the golf club the night before.
"My dad would get up at half-six in the morning. I'd hear him making breakfast and I'd get up. He never had to call me. I'd go out with him in the morning to the club and when we were finished hitting balls, I'd get the bike and cycle on to school.
"He might pick up the golf balls or stay on for another while. We mostly hit balls on the practice ground because in the wintertime you wouldn't have much light," he said.
The father-son partnership combined to great effect when Brendan made national headlines again, this time in "senior hurling" a.k.a, the venerable South of Ireland golf championship at Lahinch in 1976.
Dr Kevin caddied for his offspring who was a 15-year-old waiting for the results of his Intermediate (Junior) Certificate results.
All of 5ft 5 ins in height, weighing around eight and a half stone, the little guy kicked some serious sand in the faces of older and more experienced opponents.
He carved a swathe through the early rounds with victories by 5&3, 5&4 – the latter a win over Munster interpro Billy Rice, father of Limerick-born professional Tim Rice – then came further progress in his next two matches by 3&1 and 7&6.
Jackie Harrington of Adare Manor, a 40-year old seasoned Irish international and Munster interprovincial player was next up. Young Brendan, playing with his father's clubs this time, a new set of Titleists, was the youngest player to reach the last 16 in the then 81 year history of the South of Ireland. The kid gave Harrington a great battle only to succumb to a birdie on the 18th and defeat by one hole.
Returning to the under-age ranks, McDaid made a national breakthrough in 1977 when, aged only 16, he won the Irish Youths (under-21) championship, beating Tullamore's Sean Flanagan at the first tie hole after the two players were tied on 290 for the 72 holes.
Among his peers at that time were future Ryder Cup players Ronan Rafferty and Philip Walton.
Rafferty exuded star quality, but he had to bow the knee to McDaid in the 1978 Munster Boys championship at Killarney when the pride of Skibbereen defeated the Ulster prodigy at the 20th.
McDaid had another success over Rafferty in the 1980 Munster Youths championship at Muskerry, shooting 296 to the runner-up's 303.
A year later at Ballybunion, McDaid retained the Munster Youths crown, winning by six shots (292) ahead of second-placed Paul Murphy of Killarney.
Interprovincial caps for Munster men's team soon followed, and before he turned pro, McDaid had played for Ireland at Boys, Youths, and Senior level.
Once he finished secondary school at St Fachtna's Skibbereen, McDaid took a brief sojourn in the world of auctioneering before turning professional.
"I went to work for De Courcy's in Limerick, and I really enjoyed my time there but it was never for me. I just wanted to be a professional.
"My first love was to be a player and if I couldn't do that, then I wanted to be a teacher so that took me on a journey. I started my apprenticeship with Peter O'Hagan in Bandon," he said.
Between then and 1989 McDaid spent the bulk of his time coaching but made three attempts at Tour School.
The first time, in 1983, he had a No Return. Twice more McDaid had a go, missing the cut once, and then in 1988, gaining conditional playing rights by finishing three shots adrift of a precious full Tour card for 1989.
At that stage he was in Paris having gone to France with a contract to work at a golf complex which was under construction. Repeated delays in the development eventually caused McDaid to go back to Ireland, and this time he had cleared his mind about the future.
"So back then I was still in Paris, now teaching in a golf club – not the club I went over to work at, because it still wasn't ready. They got me a job where I was practicing and teaching.
"Back then there was no Challenge Tour like they have now. If there was a Challenge Tour and they were getting sports grants like they do now, I'd probably have made it a lot further down the road than I did.
"But with the card I had, they'd ring you on a Tuesday saying there was a tournament on a Thursday, "Do you want to play?"
"I did it once. It was in the South of France. Philip Walton was doing well in the tournament (The AGF Open in Montpelier in March 1989).
"Mark James won it. I was on the leaderboard after six holes, but that was as good as it got. After that tournament I said my playing days were over. I was going to teach because I was very busy in Paris at that time.
"And I always did say to myself, I would keep trying till I was 30. If I didn't succeed by 30, I could look back and say 'I did try. I didn't succeed. Time to move on.'
"So that was close enough to my 30th birthday and I was happy enough with my decision," he said.
The Tour's loss was a gain for legions of handicap golfers and also for some big names.

Peter Lawrie was on the cusp of giving up life as a Tour player when he turned to McDaid for advice in Millennium Year.
The outcome was winning the European Tour's Rookie of the Year accolade in 2003 – remarkably, the only Irish professional to win the Henry Cotton Award – and eventually becoming the Spanish Open Champion in 2008.
Gary Murphy came to the fore on Tour with McDaid coaching him. Younger players such as Walker Cup player Jack Hume were on the books when Hume made an historic clean sweep of the four GUI Boys Provincial titles in 2010.
"I helped Gary Murphy get his Tour card in 2000 and it was Gary who got Peter (Lawrie) to come to me. I would have helped Colm Moriarty in his days as a top amateur and in his early days as a pro.
"And I did a lot of work for Michael McGeady down through the years. I didn't see him last year but he'd normally come to me a couple of times a year. He'd say: "I know what you're going to say, Brendan, but I need to hear it.
"I also used to coach my sister when she was playing and winning Championships and playing in the Curtis Cup.
"But, look, no matter who it is, I love teaching. Teaching isn't a chore. I actually get a buzz out of it. I love helping people to play better.
"My bread and butter is the high handicapper/beginner. The good golfer, they are the cream. We have a few young lads that hopefully in time will take over Jack Hume's mantle. I have a few that might do that, but they're young yet," he said.
McDaid is as enthusiastic a student as anyone on the evolving theories about the golf swing, but when it comes to the customer standing in front of him, the key is how best to impart the bit of knowledge that will make a difference.
Now based at the impressive Spawell Golf Academy in Dublin which Peter Lawrie took over last year, McDaid sees golfers of high, medium and low handicaps, men and women.
Whatever aspect they struggle with, his first job is to evaluate the communication process between himself and the client.
"For me, teaching, half of it is how the brain works. You've got to be able to impart information to that person in a way that they can relate to you.
Brendan imparting some wisdom on the next generation
"Maybe I'm bragging, but I feel I'm quite good at getting on the same wavelength with the golfer in front of me.
"Maybe I picked that up from my dad who was a psychiatrist, I don't know, but I understand that if you've somebody in front of you, you've got be able to explain it so that they understand it," he said.
Life, of course, goes on around anybody's profession, and McDaid is no exception.
A father of three – Anthony is 25 and twins David and Troy are 21 – he has been legally separated for many years.
Last year his partner, Maureen, died of cancer, and his father passed away in December 2018, a few months after Maureen's illness was diagnosed. His mother, Eileen, died in 2013.
"That's all part of the story. You just have to carry on," said McDaid.
That resilience has carried him through many phases and coaching bases since 1985, including Rathsallagh, Harbour Point, Lee Valley, The Heath, and Frankfield Driving Range in Cork, but when it came to the crunch about a playing career in the big time, Brendan was able to say to himself "this Tour ambition is not going to be realised."
How does he handle starry-eyed young players who set their heart on emulating Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry, Pádraig Harrington and the other big name Tour stars? Has he told anyone they were simply not going to make the grade?
"I mightn't put it quite like that because none of us know what's in the future. You might have an idea, but you cannot predict the future.
"For example, I've a young lad that I'm teaching, and he thinks he's great. I think he's good, but I don't think he works hard enough to be where he thinks he wants to be.
"I try to encourage him. I say 'look, if you don't want to put in the hours, don't be expecting to make it, because you've got to be the best in this country at that level, because if you're not the best in this country, you won't make it out in the big bad world'.
"So that's how you say it – measure yourself on the guys you're playing against, not that 'I'm in the top six.'
"I have another guy I used to teach and I told him he shouldn't turn pro.
"He didn't listen to me. I said you've got to beat the best amateurs before you can even think of the pro game.
"He didn't want to hear that and he's struggling now. You must be able to beat the people you're taking on before you can reach the next level.
"You look at Peter Lawrie who was successful, you look at Gary Murphy who got his Tour card, Colm Moriarty, they were all able to beat people they played against at various levels.
"If you can't beat them, you're not going to do it.
"Apart from anything else, what's important is the work ethic.
"If you're not prepared to work your socks off, you've no chance, because there's only a small percentage who make it. As Ben Hogan once said, "if you can't outplay them, outwork them."
A player's perspective
Former European Tour professional and Spanish Open champion Peter Lawrie worked with McDaid for 10 years and had this to say:
"Everybody knows that I'm no fool and I say it as it is, and I've always done that. I wouldn't have been with Brendan McDaid for as long as I was if Brendan McDaid wasn't able to help me. Now that might sound like a selfish thing to say but he was very, very good for my company – for P Lawrie. You look at Dermot Desmond and JP McManus, they don't surround themselves with fools and Brendan McDaid was a very, very good coach and that's why he coached me."

We as a family worked with Brendan in Rathsallagh.
My sons went to 6 handicap and owe Brendan a huge amount for the teaching he gave to them.
They are made for life with wonderful swings which they will never loose.
Thank you Brendan.
Alan Higgins
Really enjoyed the piece on Brendan–I played with him in the west circa 1971 when he was a young player–and he undersells how good he was.
He is a crusty pro who any young aspiring player should listen to-you wont get better advice on their ambitions.Forget trackman and go to Brendanman for some heard earned expertise.

This is The Feeling You Get when You Face Your Fears!
No matter who you are, you are afraid of something. We all are!
Fear is not something you get over and then become immune to it. Fear is simply the unknown behind the borders of comfort.
No matter how much we escape our comfort zone, sooner or later we become comfortable again, it is our Nature.
If you are comfortable you are afraid of something outside of the comfort zone, even if it is simply the thought of being in an uncomfortable situation.
To be afraid it's ok.
It is normal. It is a sign that we still love something, that we still have a purpose.
However, what's not ok is to let fear control you. It is not ok to let fear stop you from doing what you love. It is not ok to miss on all the beauty life has to offer just because you are afraid.
By the way, the feeling you get when you face your fears is priceless.
Facing fear should be something on your daily schedule, just before eating breakfast or checking emails.
Every time you face fear you earn confidence points. Facing fear on regular basis gives us strong self confidence and self confidence literally shapes your reality.
facing fear gives us that feeling of freedom, happiness and excitement. That feeling when we want to dance, jump and laugh until our abs hurt.
It is one of the most priceless feelings that humans have ever encountered. It fills us with life, energy, vitality, it makes us look young and feel like superheroes.
If you don't know what this feeling looks like watch the badass grandma in the video bellow.
Grandma Ria, aged 78, had never travelled on an airplane before. So before her first flight ever, to beat her fear she took to the sky on a rollercoaster.
The feeling you get when you face your fears is priceless!

Q: Defining variable in function after return I'm stemming some words in a Pandas dataframe and have the following function:
progress = 0

def stem(x):
    end = time.time()
    tokens = word_tokenize(x)
    global progress
    progress += 1
    sys.stdout.write('\r {} percent, {} position, {} per second '.format(float(progress / len(articles)),
                                                             progress, progress / (end - start)))

    return [stemmer.stem(e) for e in tokens]

The way I'm calling that function is like this:
start = time.time()
articles['stems'] = articles.content.apply(lambda x: stem(x))

in which articles.content is a column of large strings. The last variable in sys.stdout.write, as currently written, calculates the average number of rows iterated over per second. What I'd like to do is calculate the instantaneous rate for each row. The challenge is that start would have to be defined after I return the stemmed words.
I tried defining a new variable inside the lambda expression and then learned that that's not possible. And I know that return [stemmer.stem...], start = time.time() would include start in the values of the dataframe, which obviously I don't want.
Is there a way to do this?

A: I figured it out: I can assign the stemmed words to a variable, redefine start and return the variable with the stemmed words:
progress = 0
start = time.time()
def stem(x):
    end = time.time()
    tokens = word_tokenize(x)
    global start
    global progress
    progress += 1
    stems = [stemmer.stem(word) for word in tokens]
    end = time.time()
    sys.stdout.write('\r {} percent, {} position, {} per second '.format(str(float(progress / len(articles))),
                                                         str(progress), (1 / (end - start))))
    start = time.time()
    return stems

start = time.time()
stem(strings)


It's no coincidence that Elon Musk wants to both tunnel down into and soar above the Earth. If you ask the team at HyperSciences, the best way to get to space is to flip drilling technology upside down and point it at the sky. In the process, that would mean ditching the large, expensive fuel stages that propel what we generally think of as a rocket — massive cylindrical thing, tiny payload at the tip — into space.

Q: Selecting numbers on a number line where distribution tends to cluster at one end. Lets say I've got a number line from $1$ to $100$. I want to randomly select $20$ integer numbers from the number line. But I want the numbers to tend to come from say $1$-$50$, with only a few coming from between $50$-$100$.
My initial thought on how to solve the problem is to use an exponential function, say $2^n$. Then, until I've reached $20$ numbers, select a random decimal between $1$ and $\sim 6.65$ for $n$. Rounding the result to the nearest integer to use as my next number.
I'm wondering if there is a better solution.

A: There are too many possible answers here because your question is so vague. Here's one possible technique: Select a random number $r$ uniformly between 0 and 1. Calculate $r' = 1+\lfloor100r^2\rfloor$. Then you get $r'$ between 1 and 50 about 70.7% of the time. (Whenver $r$ is less than ${\sqrt 2 \over 2}\approx 0.707$), and between 1 and 25 half the time. It will be between 1 and $n$ about $10\sqrt n$ percent of the time.
The $r^2$ is the important part here; the $1+\lfloor100\ \cdots\rfloor$ stuff is only to transform the range of the function from real numbers in $[0,1]$ to integers in $[1,100]$.
You can bias the thing as much as you like toward low numbers by changing the $r^2$ to $r^3$ or some higher power.  If you use $r^n$, then you get $r'$ bigger than 50 only whenever $r$ is less than $1\over \sqrt[n]{2}$.
In general, you can pick any function $f : [0,1]\to[0,1]$ that has the property that $f(x)≤x$, and then use $r' = 1+\lfloor100f(r)\rfloor$.  By drawing different $f$, you can bias the generator more or less toward smaller numbers.

A: I think you are overthinking this (unless you need some sort of smoothly decaying distribution that puts more probability mass on the smaller elements). If you just need to distinguish the first 50 elements from the last 50, with no within-set distinctions, just hand-specify a discrete distribution without caring about the functional form too much.
If you want there to be a probability $p$ that the values come from $\{1,2,\cdots,50\}$ and probability $(1-p)$ that values come from $\{51,\cdots,100\}$, then just make a discrete distribution that is $p/50$ for any value in $\{1,2,\cdots,50\}$ and $(1-p)/50$ for any value in $\{51,\cdots,100\}$. Then $p$ tunes how lopsided the distribution is towards the first set, without making any individual element of that set more likely than any other. By putting $p$ close to 1, you can make the occurrence of elements from $\{51,\cdots,100\}$ as infrequent as you'd like for your purposes.
To implement this in software, you'll need to use a psuedorandom number generator to generate draws from a standard uniform distribution on (0,1). Compute the cumulative sum vector for the discrete distribution, $F(i) = \sum_{k\leq i}P(k)$. Define $F(0) = 0$ and then by definition you'll get $F(100) = 1$.
For a given uniform draw $u$, find the index $j$ such that $F(j) \leq u \leq F(j+1)$, and return $j+1$ as the drawn number. Languages such as Python (NumPy), Matlab, and C++ (Boost), provide this kind of user-defined discrete distribution as a built-in function, with built-in sampling functions. But it's often a good exercise to write your own discrete simulator at least once.

An inmate accused of viciously beating a female Arkansas prison guard to her death said he was sorry for what he did while addressing the court, but then justified it by saying she was 'messing with his life'. This was all said as he was being charged with her murder.
Tramell Mackenzie Hunter appeared in court for the first time after Lisa Mauldin, 47, was beaten to death by his hands at the Miller County Detention Center in Texarkana on Sunday afternoon.
Mauldin was in the kitchen at the time when Hunter, who had already been in serving a 15-year sentence for aggravated robbery and battery, attacked and beat her.
Officer Demaris Allen was also included in the attack and wounded, but is recovering at a Little Rock hospital.
Hunter, 27, was actually only on loan to Miller County from the Arkansas Department of Corrections, as he was taking part in the Act 309 program. It is a program where inmates are given greater exemptions and trust. Judge Autrey set Hunter's bail at $1 million with the new charges drawn against him – but the conclusion is irrelevant as he is already serving time for his past crimes. For his charges, he has now been sent to state's maximum security Varner Unit. Prosecuting Attorney Stephanie Black stated her office will ascertain whether to move towards the death penalty for Hunter as the investigation continues.

Anti-clotting factors in vampire bat saliva may save your life.
By EcoPhysioMichelle on Thursday, May 19, 2011
While I'm on the subject of things that suck blood, I'd like to take a moment to tell you how vampire bat saliva may save your life one day.
Yesterday I happened to see a tweet from the Ohio State University Medical Center's twitter account that linked to a press release discussing a new plasminogen activator that is currently undergoing clinical trials. The drug, desmoteplase, is modeled after a protein found in vampire bat saliva that prevents clots and platelet aggregation, which keeps the blood flowing while the bat is feeding. Plasminogen activators like desmoteplase are used to break down blood clots that are blocking blood flow to vital organs such as the heart, lungs, or brain.
Anatomy of a heart attack.

To understand why bats have this protein in their saliva and why it may be medically useful, we first need to understand how clots form. Whenever a blood vessel is damaged, collagen fibers are exposed under the severed lining of the vessel. Platelets, one of the several blood cell types, will begin to stick to the collagen fibers and to one another until the damaged area is covered. This creates a platelet "plug" that stops immediate blood loss. Once the platelet plug is in place, a cascade of clotting factors (a vital one being a chemical called fibrin) will build a clot "seal" over the platelet plug that forms a more permanent barrier to blood loss while the vessel heals.
After the vessel heals and the clot is no longer needed, a chemical called plasminogen is activated and becomes plasmin. Plasmin then breaks down the clot by solubilizing fibrin. This is a safe way to get rid of the clot so that it doesn't come off in one piece and then lodge itself into a small vessel where it can cut off circulation to parts of the body. However, sometimes clots are not broken down properly and can cut off blood flow to the brain (stroke) or heart (heart attack). When this happens, we need to manually turn plasminogen into plasmin using plasminogen activators, so that plasmin can break down the clot and restore blood flow.

The plasminogen activators in vampire bat saliva were first described by Dr. Christine Hawkey in a letter to Nature in the 1960s. In addition to plasminogen activators, Hawkey later went on to describe platelet aggregation inhibitors in vampire bat saliva as well. Vampire bats do not suck blood directly as mosquitoes do; instead they puncture the skin with their teeth and lap the blood with their tongues as it seeps through the wound. This strategy requires the inhibition of platelet plugs and clots which would stop the blood from continuing to flow during the bat's meal.
Desmoteplase, which is derived from the plasminogen activators in vampire bat saliva originally described by Hawkey, seems to have some advantages over currently used plasminogen activators (which are often based on chemicals in humans). Current drugs are only approved for use up to 3 hours after symptom onset, and Dr. Michel Torbey at OSU MC is hopeful that desmoteplase will demonstrate efficacy up to 9 hours after symptom onset, which could drastically reduce the number of deaths. From the press release:
"Prompt medical care within three hours is very important for recovery from a stroke, but attempts to find drugs that extend the treatment window have not been successful," added Torbey. "If the study findings back up our hopes and expectations, desmoteplase could be a real game changer in our ability to help patients."
In addition to expanding the treatment window, desmoteplase is more potent and specific than current drugs. One current plasminogen activator is even linked to neurotoxicity in some patients, so there is high demand for newer and better drugs to treat problematic clots. If approved, this drug could reduce the risk of death in stroke patients who live in remote areas and may not be able to make it to the emergency room within the three hour window.

Good post that highlights the pros and cons of blood cloting. Can I add one additional protein into the mix Fibrinogen. (This was my area of research)Raised Plasma Fibrinogen also represents an inreased risk of cardiovascular disease. Also Fibrin Degredation Products (FDPs) and specifically FDPs fragment E have been shown to be arthiogenic and may contribute to the development of atherosclerotic plaques. In summary too much of the stuff that makes blood clot is not a good thing. (Well done on the thesis


Have you ever had to endure the company of a loud talker? You know - someone who, whether at the office or a dinner party, seems compelled to speak at high volume about themselves in an effort to appear important and worth listening to? If you're not sure what I mean, check out the first thirty seconds of the Dinner Party bit by stand-up comedian Brian Regan. You'll get the idea.
While a real-world loud talker can be piercingly annoying, B2B marketing materials that act like a loud talker can be seriously harmful to your business. Unfortunately for their sales (and reputations), many companies - even high profile ones - routinely publish "loud talking" Web site content, white papers, and product brochures.
One of the cardinal rules of creating effective B2B communications is to remember that it's not all about you. In fact, it's only marginally about you. Though the purpose of your materials may be to persuade the reader about the superiority of your product or service, it's critically important that you use logic and empathy - not brute force.
Well-crafted B2B copy is the opposite of a loud talker - it's that go to person in the office who is not only a great resource, but always seems to know the best solution for any given problem. This approach doesn't shout at the reader, it speaks to him on his level, in his language, about things he cares about. It provides intrinsically valuable and objective information that helps him understand complex challenges and subtly provides viable, logical solutions.
Today's buyers are savvier and have greater access to competitive information than ever before. They don't want to be sold. They especially don't want to be tricked into listening to a sales pitch. They want access to authentic and accurate information about the solutions to the problems they face each day. They want to be understood.
When creating marketing materials for your business, step number one is leaving your ego at the door. Step number two is working with a writer who understands the importance of writing for the reader and how to craft a document that will be effectively persuasive instead of loud talking.

Middlesbrough and Hull City are reportedly battling with Premier League clubs for the signature of Hartlepool United midfielder Josh Hawkes.
The 20-year-old has impressed with five goals this season in the National League but is now courting interest from several clubs across the Football League and top tier.
It's not just Championship sides Hull City, Middlesbrough and Sheffield United who are keeping tabs on Hawkes, with two top-tier teams in Newcastle United and Burnley chasing him.
According to TEAMtalk, a number of sides are tracking his progress with the aim of landing him in the summer.
Aston Villa are eager to land Barnsley defender Liam Lindsay, according to reports.
Manager Dean Smith is monitoring the progress of the 23-year-old, who has been instrumental to Barnsley's push for promotion back to the Championship.
Lindsay has been a mainstay of the side and featured 31 times this season. Birmingham Live are reporting that Villa are hoping to land Lindsay in the summer.
Elsewhere, and former Sheffield United defender Kieran Wallace has signed a new contract with Burton Albion.
The versatile player will remain at the Pirelli Stadium until the end of the 2019/20 season. His previous contract was set to expire at the end of the current campaign but the League One side have come to terms on a new deal for the 24-year-old.
"I'm really pleased and I'm really enjoying it here," said Wallace. "I couldn't have dreamed of this, this time last year. I'm here now and I want to enjoy it, and take the opportunity.

We did three things in Greenwich. If you're planning a day there, let me advise you: do NOT do all three of these things in one day. You will hate yourself because you will be super rushed. Spread them out over two days.
With that being said, onward into the Greenwich day recap!
On my England 2012 trip, I ended up in Lloyd's of London with four kids.
They were also more interested in riding the elevators than learning about insurance or trade risks. I can't blame them, as those elevators were pretty darn cool.
Such a place sounds like the beginning of a fantasy novel, doesn't it?
And you thought that Dover, England was just a bunch of cliffs.
If you're willing to battle the winds and the cold (as we did on an unfortunate June day on our England 2012 trip), you'll be rewarded with a new perspective on the English efforts in World War II...and on those famous cliffs of Dover.
Where were we in our London travels before I interrupted to bring you news of my upcoming travels?
We'd just visited Stonehenge at sunset and then rested against Buckingham Palace as we watched the Changing of the Guard.
What's next on our jam-packed itinerary?
We're headed out of London to a town called Cambridge that's home to a little institute of higher learning called Cambridge University. You may have heard of it.
As I mentioned in Friday's post, I'm revisiting a trip that I took to London and the surrounding area back when I was teaching in a homeschool program.
Let's kick off the week with a behind-the-gates review of the Changing of the Guard.


PC World - Facebook was the most visited website in the United States in 2010, and the world's largest social network was also the year's most popular search term, according to Experian Hitwise. Facebook accounted for 8.93 percent of all US visits between January and November, the metrics firm said in its year-end round up. Google came in second with 7.19 percent of visits with Yahoo Mail, Yahoo and YouTube rounding out the top five.

Manley sentenced to 6 months and 5 years probation
November 26, 2012 by JOSH WILLIAMS
LIVINGSTON COUNTY — Michael Manley, 27, of Lima, was sentenced to six months to be served in the Livingston County Jail and five years of probation after pleading guilty to leaving the scene of an accident.
On February 12, 2012, William Ehrmentraut, 51, was killed walking along route 15A in Lima when he was struck by Manley who was driving a truck and had allegedly recently finished sharing a 30-pack of Busch Beer with a friend.
"We all know what happened that night, we all know that Bill died on your watch." said Gerry Ehrmentaut, the victim's sister, during the victim impact statement.
According to 13Wham.com Manley originally told investigators the day after that he thought he had struck a deer.
The courtroom was filled with tension from the beginning of the proceedings with friends and family members feet away from Manley. In addition they brought the ashes of Ehrmentraut, a wooden box with an American flag on the front of it, feet away from Manley as he was sentenced.
"I'm not going to tell the court that this family is pleased with this sentence," said Justice Francis Affronti, the fourth judge to handle the case because of the Ehrmentraut family ties to the Livingston County legal system. "This is a sentence that the family understands though and is in agreement with."
Due to a lack of evidence the plea deal was made so that the family could gain some sort of closure from the nightmare.
Judge Affronti also stated that if Manley, violates parole he do everything in his power to ensure that he will serve the max sentence of seven years in state prison.
Manley at first refused to make a statement during sentencing, but after further prodding by the Judge he spoke.
"God's going to judge me for my mistakes," said Manley. "I have nightmares from this and I am truly sorry."
According to the New York state DMV, Manley has never had a valid driver's license and only temporary permits. At the time of the accident his learning permit was expired.

Your CX500 is plain 80plus which means it is rated for 80-80-80% The SuperNova is gold which is rated 87-90-87%.
Lets average the gold to 88% for ease of math, say your computer uses 100 watts on average during the year and electricity costs 12 cents per kwh.
100 watts x 24 hours x 365 days = 876,000 watts or 876 kilo watts.
That is a cost per year. So assuming you have an average computer lifetime of 4 years, that is a savings of 11.95 per year and 47.80 over the lifetime of the computer. Your new powersupply costs 90 so it wouldn't be worth it. However if you were in the planning stages of the build, it would be. Your gold power supply is 90, 80plus is 58. Savings of a gold is 48 dollars which saves you a grand total of 15 dollars by going with a gold power supply.
Please note that the numbers at the beginning were a rough estimate of idle and involve leaving a computer on 24/7. If you have different specs, you can change as needed.
EDIT: Figured I would add this in here if anyone was looking for a lowish cost way to get more exact numbers. You basically plug computer in then do an average day or two of computer use and that should give you a daily average of power use which you can use to extrapolate out. Note if you use the product below, your efficiency conversion needs to be different to account for the fact it is already pulling numbers from the wall.
Edit2: Another thing I forgot to mention as this may be important to some… When a PSU has an efficiency rating of 80%, what that means is that 80% of your power stays as electricity and 20% of it is converted to heat. This means more fan use and more heat. If you want a quieter PSU or need to keep heat down because you are overclocking, a gold or platinum PSU is recommended so that it doesn't contribute as much heat to the inside of the case.

Hannah Rose Jones is a Caucasian female. She is described as 5'0″ to 5'2." Her approximate weight is 120 pounds. Hannah has brown hair and hazel eyes. Reportedly, Hannah was last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt. It had Marilyn Monroe on it. It is unknown if her name is in the form of a word of an image. Hannah also wore black leggings and gray Nikesneakers. Hannah may be wearing a silver bracelet with hearts.
From the limited information and my research, Hannah seems to be a runaway. In that case, especially at her age, she is an endangered runaway. She may not realize it, but she has no way to support herself. And she can't drive and how far can she get on foot? It is unknown if she is with anyone else. From her family's perspective, it doesn't matter if Hannah ran away or not. They only want her safely returned. This matters a lot, though, when it comes to investigating her disappearance. And Hannah can meet with foul play the longer she stays missing. And someone (s) knows something that can bring this girl home today.

Should you not throw rice at weddings because birds swallow it and explode?
By Cecil Adams May 2, 1997
Share All sharing options for: Should you not throw rice at weddings because birds swallow it and explode?
On a recent NBC Today Show segment, some Martha Stewart wannabe said you shouldn't throw rice at weddings because it kills birds. Supposedly birds eat the rice, it swells in their stomachs, and they explode over playgrounds. Having cooked a lot of rice, I know it takes boiling heat and a good 20 minutes to get it to swell (aside from so-called Minute rice). It seems to me if any bird has an intestinal temperature near boiling, eating a few grains of rice is the least of its worries. Also, despite zillions of weddings, I don't recall seeing piles of blown-up pigeons near churches, nor do I remember seeing inordinate numbers of bird carcasses near rice paddies in southeast Asia. Is there any basis in fact to the rice = bird killer story, or is this yet another urban myth?
David Thomas, via the Internet
Illustration by Slug Signorino
Cecil humbly concedes that the final word cannot yet be written on this urgent subject. Instead, as is his custom, he merely recites the facts as ascertained to date:
(1) Personally I think the whole thing is BS, but if I just said that I'd be 500 words shy of a column.
(2) Having momentarily tired of the Internet, I had little Ed go on the Mara Tapp show on WBEZ radio in Chicago to see if any of the Teeming Millions had seen birds exploding over playgrounds. Number of calls from kibitzers who wanted to hear what their voices sounded like on the radio: zillions. Number of sightings of detonated birds: zero. Tolja.
(3) One guy's idea of a major scientific contribution was to tell us he'd been in a cooking class in Minnesota ten years before, and they'd experimentally determined that dried rice doubles in volume when soaked. Like I didn't know this, you goof.
(4) Though maybe the guy's point was that you didn't need to have boiling or even hot water to do this. Little Ed isn't sure. You look at his notes, you think, wow, nice shorthand. Unfortunately he was writing in longhand.
(5) My brother-in-law told me that dried barley expands to three and a half times its original volume when soaked, so if you're looking for things to throw at weddings instead of rice I guess barley shouldn't be high on the list. Then again, my brother-in-law also told me he read in a World War II memoir about how they would parachute in bags of rice to the troops in Burma or someplace, and occasionally when a bag went astray people on the ground would later find an empty bag and an exploded cow nearby. But when I spent three hours in the library reading the memoir in question I found zip to support this tale, and it wouldn't surprise me if my brother-in-law hallucinated the bit about barley too.
(6) Getting back to WBEZ, another guy claimed he had a friend who was a physical anthropologist, and she told him that when she wants to separate the bones in a skull, she fills it with rice and lets it sit in water overnight, whereupon the rice expands and forces the bones apart. The guy said in his opinion this didn't qualify as exploding. Maybe not, but it's not like having some bird swell up until its skull cracks open is a big improvement visualizationwise.
(7) Some people think that, from the point of view of bird endangerment, a distinction should be drawn between regular rice and Minute rice. These people are losers.
(8) When we queried the experts at Cornell University — you remember what a big help they were in exposing the grim truth about green potato chips — the director of education and information services wrote back as follows: "I do not have a prepared response [and why not?], but the simplest answer is, 'ricebirds' (bobolinks) have been eating rice throughout recorded history! It's really no different than the birds eating any grain, including millet or wheat, which they do all the time." Testify, sister.
(9) My assistant Jane — I tell you, nobody's going to say I didn't throw enough resources into this — says that, judging from her review of pertinent Web sites, the cool thing to do instead of throwing rice is to release clouds of butterflies. I'm not quite picturing this, but I guess you go to the bridal supply house and buy a box full of butterflies and hope most of them survive till the wedding. This is an improvement?
(10) A Presbyterian minister called WBEZ to say that the reason they didn't want you to throw rice at weddings was that it was like spreading little roller bearings all over the floor, and insurance companies didn't want the bride and groom to fall and break their necks. Though now that I think about it, using birdseed instead of rice is basically replacing roller bearings with ball bearings. Maybe we should rethink butterflies.
(11) I've said this before, I'll say it again. Ain't science great?
Things we didn't need to know
Concerning your column about whether you shouldn't throw rice at weddings because birds eat it, it swells up in their guts, and they explode — well, maybe not rice. However, one day in D.C. I tried to figure out what I was seeing on the sidewalk, even though it was gruesome. It was [WARNING! Disgusting part follows!] a dead pigeon, its throat split vertically, and oozing out of it like stuffing out of a turkey, solidly packed split and whole kernels of dried corn. It really did look like that is what killed the bird. Maybe it had an obstruction of some sort.
I like your column a lot.
— Eloise Needleman, Annapolis, Maryland
Thanks, Eloise. Just the same, I'm glad we never went out on a date.
I also have a note from Tim Erskine, who reports that he saw a bird "torn asunder" by the rice in its stomach. Tim says he saw this 25 years ago. This is not what I would call high-quality scientific evidence. Then again, it's not like I want anybody sending me something fresh.
Other baby steps on the road to knowledge:
(1) Numerous parties feel I should take up a related myth about feeding Alka-Seltzer to seagulls. "The birds have no means to pass gas orally or ventrally," Wayne writes, "so they just go in a burst of feathers!" Uh-huh. Wayne is hereby named High Commissioner of Experimental Alka-Seltzer Seagull Feeding. I expect a full report.
(2) An anonymous benefactor sent me a long excerpt from the Web site run by the USA Rice Federation. One learns that rice farmers set aside 500,000 acres of rice fields for overwintering waterfowl habitat, with 300 pounds of "residual grains" left per acre! Think of it: thousands of circling birds, detonating like flak bursts in Twelve o'Clock High! But the rice federation says bull. They quote another expert from Cornell, who says birds have powerful muscles and grit in their stomachs to grind up the rice before it reaches critical mass.
(3) The federation also says Ann Landers told the exploding bird story in a 1988 column, retracted it, then spread the same line of baloney in a 1996 column. You see why eradicating ignorance is so godawful slow.
Further reports
Mail about the effect of rice on our feathered friends continues to flood this department. The latest bulletins:
(1) Tim Neil of Crowley, Louisiana, "Rice Capital of the World," reports that thousands of birds swarm to eat the rice falling out of trucks near his hometown. Number of sightings of exploding birds: none. No, I take that back. He did see one explode. However, this was because a wad of birdshot hit it.
(2) The fact that birds eat rice in fields proves nothing, Paul Erickson claims. Rice in fields is not dehydrated, and doesn't expand when eaten. Rice in the box is dehydrated, and does. Nonetheless, Paul continues, birds who eat dehydrated rice don't explode. They just die.
(3) But Tim Neil says the rice dropped by the trucks was both "processed and unprocessed." I'm assuming that "processed" includes "dehydrated." So take that, Paul.
(4) A young person who obviously has way more time on his hands than I do reports that, in the interest of science, he captured four sparrows and fed them a daily diet of, respectively, Minute Rice, Uncle Ben's, normal rice, and bird feed. Mortality after seven days: zero, although the rice-fed birds did look "kinda droopy." However, they did fly away energetically when released. Conclusion: dried rice does not cause birds to explode or otherwise die. Good lad.
(5) At U.S. Air Force survival school in Spokane, Washington, students are told to drop Alka-Seltzer into wading pools in order to secure an easy lunch of seagull, says Brian Bourke. Many pilots carry Alka-Seltzer with them on sorties for this reason.
(6) Ex-serviceman Allen Greiner reports that while stationed on the Gulf Coast, he and his friends used to entertain themselves by tossing Alka-Seltzer to circling seagulls, who would catch the tablets in mid-air. If the gull succeeded in swallowing the Alka-Seltzer, it would falter after a short time, foam at the beak, then projectile vomit its stomach contents. Afterward the bird would be as healthy as ever. Bet this comes as a surprise to downed pilots tossing Alka-Seltzer in wading pools.
(7) Garrett Datz says he was at a wedding where they wanted to release live butterflies instead of having the guests throw rice. The idea was to release them from the top of the tent the wedding was held under. Unfortunately, they had the butterflies in boxes for hours and then in release cages for another few hours. By the time the critters were let go, they had all died and plopped onto the assembled party, which to me sounds like something out of Carrie.
(8) Steve Waldron reports having attended a wedding in which the bride and groom decided it would be neat to release two white doves at the end of the ceremony. However, the birds purchased at a pet store for this purpose had clipped wings and no survival skills. They made it as far as a tree, where they were attacked by squirrels as the children watched. I will spare you further details. The organist said he was not going to play for any more weddings where the ceremony called for an animal sacrifice after the recessional.
(9) Arnold Wright Blan says when his cousin got married, instead of throwing rice or birdseed, the couple had little jingle bells attached to business cards that the wedding guests were supposed to jingle as the newlyweds left for the honeymoon. Arnold considers this the tackiest wedding stunt he has ever heard of. He concludes, "I think the bride came up with this, since she wouldn't have enough class for a one-room schoolhouse."
(10) Obviously numerous social and ecological disasters await if you try to anything besides rice at a wedding. My feeling is, if rice is out, elope.
While we're on the subject of exploding birds, rice, and Alka-Seltzer, perhaps you'll tackle another one, if it has not yet been resolved in the annals of science. I remember faintly from early childhood that if you give a frog a cigarette, it will continuously inhale until it explodes, a rather graphic example of the perils of smoking.
— Peter Kreutlein
Peter, I'm counting to three. If you're not out of here by then, there's going to be an explosion. And it won't be the frog.

Q: How to prove $|CD| \geq \ $|AB| in intercept theorem like figure
Hi everyone,
for the situation in the sketch above it is given that
$|PC|\geq\ $|PA|=|PB| and $|PD| \geq \ $|PB|. I need to prove that $|CD| \geq \ $|AB|.
Without loss of generality I am assuming that $|PD| \geq \ $|PC|. It feels like I need to use intercept theorem and/or triangle inequality but I am getting nowhere.
Can anyone help, please?
Thanks a lot!

A: Let $K\in BD$ such that $AK||DC$.
Thus, since $\measuredangle ABK>90^{\circ},$ we obtain:
$$DC>AK>AB$$ and we are done!

A: Put everything in coordinate system. Say $P(0,0)$.
Suppose $A,C$ are on line $y=-kx$ and $B,D$ are on line $y=kx$. Then $A(a,-ka)$ and $B(a,ka)$ and $C(c,-kc)$ and $D(d,kd)$. WLOG we can assume $a=1$ and $c,d>1$.
Then $AB = 2k$ and $$ CD = \sqrt{(c-d)^2+(c+d)^2k^2}$$
We have to check whether $$(c-d)^2+(c+d)^2k^2> 4k^2$$
Since $c+d>2$ we see that this is true.

A: Assume WLOG $PD\ge PC$ and draw point $E$ on $BD$ such that $PE=PC$. Triangles $PAB$ and $PCE$ are similar, and from $CP>AP$ it follows $CE>AB$.
Consider then triangle $CDE$: angle $\angle CED$ is obtuse, because its adjacent $\angle PEC$ is acute (base angle of isosceles triangle $PCE$). Hence $CD>CE$, as in a triangle greater side is opposite to greater angle.

A: Assume wlog that $PD>PC$. Let $C'$ lie on $BD$ so that $CC'$ is parallel to $AB$
Then triangles $ABP$ and $CC'P$ are similar, and $$\frac{CC'}{AB}=\frac{PC}{PA}>1\implies CC'>AB$$
Furthermore, angle $CC'D=90+\frac 12$angle $APB$ and is therefore obtuse, so that $\cos CC'D$ is negative.
Therefore by the Cosine Rule, $DC^2>CC'^2+C'D^2$
Thus $DC>CC'>AB$


Most people think of social technology as purely social media – the world of Facebook and Twitter - but although these can play a part in the business world, there is much more value in the wider world of social technology and companies are starting to realise this. For one, they connect people across different functions and skillsets, in order to organise and get things done. That connecting of capability, minds and people is what really matters.
There are a few key areas that this piece will therefore focus on – how social technology is used to recruit, develop and assess people or how it can be used to make work more flexible and engaging.
So let's take a look at how social technology is being used and give you some ideas about how you could use it in the world of work.
More and more employers, organisations and recruiters are using social platforms to recruit people. Why? Quite simply, they are often either cheap or free to use, allow greater access to talent beyond simple CV databases or jobsites, and can save a great deal in terms of recruitment costs. I know, because I have used social over the last few years to recruit people and managed to reduce the cost of executive recruitment for one business by around 97%. That is how powerful it can be.
Social technology is not just social media – it is any technology that allows people to share, create, access, and communicate content or ideas across distributed platforms. It can be your LinkedIn and Twitter, but it can also be apps such as Coffee, GitHub, and Seelio – there are lots of different platforms and technologies that allow people to interact and share content, and it is via these technologies that both people and organisations find work or the talented people to do the work. These networks allow social interaction electronically and get both sides speaking to one another, sometimes continents apart.
In the same light, work does not just mean full time work. It could be freelance, part time, flexible, contract, micro-work – work comes in many forms. Work brokerages like Odesk, Freelancer and Guru are therefore on the rise, offering a trading platform for companies and freelancers to engage with one another across a myriad of skills and capabilities. Odesk alone has been reported to help 3 million organisations engage 10 million freelancers. This is how powerful social is becoming, not only allowing individuals to profile their skills in a global talent marketplace, but also giving companies the chance to tap into these global talent pools from a laptop or other mobile technology.
Not only are people and organisations using social platforms to recruit, they are also using them to train and learn. Take a look at YouTube as an example. You can find lots of interesting and educational content on there – and it is free. Organisations passionate about free and shared learning like the Khan Academy use YouTube to share their educational videos and feeds. These types of organisations are not 'fly by night' either – the Khan Academy has been going for almost 9 years and has secured around $2 million of funding from YouTube alone to produce rich, shared learning content.
The simple truth is that learning and how we learn is changing. It is no longer simply a pedagogic way of learning, where someone stands up and teaches a class in the traditional sense. We are now self-directed learners, we use online resources and P2P options to learn. The rise of MOOCs (Massive Online Open Courses) means people can attend courses online and are earning credits that can in time qualify them for certifications, diplomas and even degrees.
This type of learning is also accessible anywhere and anytime, with apps like Blackboard Learn allowing educational courses and content to be fed directly to students without the need to attend a seminar in person!
The use of platforms to distribute learning, access to webinars and all the other great things that people can do to learn from one another whilst connected online is now possible from a computer or a mobile. This is how things have been going for a few years, and more people are looking at this kind of learning model to help develop themselves, their peers or their organisation.
This is quite a new addition to the social portfolio, but one that is expanding. Many companies or organisations rely on the good, old annual appraisal process to score people for potential bonuses or promotion. This is a drawn out process, often taking a lot of time and reduced to what many perceive as a simple political or box-ticking exercise, when so much value could be extracted from the process.
So, social performance apps can and have been changing this mindset in a big way. Why? Because these types of apps allow people to provide feedback anytime and anywhere, a constant way of helping people develop as they progress and also learn from others. It is quite a new way of doing things but some apps are already in the marketplace and being used to great effect to help people and their organisations truly develop talent and an engaged, high performing work environment. They are embedded in the learning of the individual, helping them achieve their potential and therefore increasing their capability and engagement at work. It is a win-win for both sides of the equation – both employee and employer.
Social platforms can potentially change the working practices of some professions and jobs, but more importantly, they allow people to truly work flexibly with a real focus on output. Think about it, being able to interact with others directly – share information, ideas, chat and other ways of communicating instantly via an online or mobile technology embedded in your laptop, tablet or phone – means that work can be done anywhere, any time and this is at the heart of true flexible working. People can tailor their work to their best working environment, with a true focus on the outputs or outcomes, not where and how work is done.
This type of working opens up employment opportunities to a much wider audience – those who might need to be based from home due to care commitments or children, those who might be disabled or who are unable to leave home. Allowing work to be distributed and accessible to many by technologies such as social intranets and networks means that there is a real opportunity to change work into a more positive place and where people feel more engaged, connected to others and that make distance negligible.
This then leads on to the engagement piece. One of the big things that employers in the UK feel they need is a greater sense of employee engagement. It is this that makes people work harder and do great stuff – so it benefits both sides of the equation. Social technology can help organisations achieve this as it allows people to feel connected, interact with others, contribute at all levels and to organise as teams to get stuff done – often under their own steam as they feel motivated to do so.
The beauty of this technology also means it is not just for office workers on PC or laptops. Social technology can be deployed on tablets and mobile phones, so people can stay connected in whatever organisations or industries they operate. The truth of the matter is, most people have the technology to do this in their pocket, they just need the app and support of the employer to make it happen – and everyone then benefits. So much could be achieved by some simple changes in mindset and working practices.
So, as you can probably tell, I see real opportunity in social technology. As an HR professional and a freelancer, I am working with organisations to try and help them think about this and use the often free tools and technology out there to make a real difference to how work is being done. I therefore advise you to consider what this could mean for you in terms of work, the job you do or might do, and start thinking about whether you need to develop these skills and capabilities that could truly enhance your work, your career and future opportunities.

We did this video a couple years ago to use with a presentation at the AOPA Summit in Palm Springs, but I thought I would share it in a public forum now.
This wasn't a real checkride, obviously, but it certainly includes allusions to many things that have been seen by examiners on real checkrides. Though, and hopefully, never all of them at once.

Pokkén Tournament is a fighting game developed by Bandai Namco Entertainment. It was teased in August 2013 in a Japanese event. On August 26, 2014, it was officially announced by Famitsu.[1] It was released in Japanese arcades in July 16, 2015, and eventually released worldwide on the Wii U in March 18, 2016.
2.1 Playable
2.2 Supporting
The game features the traditional arcade fighting style. Pokémon fight with the same moves they have in main series. They can also Mega Evolve. However, despite having gameplay from the Tekken series, characters from Tekken aren't featured or playable in the game.[2]
Playable
The name Pokkén is derived from Pokémon and Tekken. The game's logo is similar to Tekken Tag Tournament 2.
The fighting engine is somehow a combination of other 3-D arena-based fighting games, such as the Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm series and Dissidia Final Fantasy.
The special attack combos are similar to Rage Arts from the upcoming Tekken 7.
It is the only Pokémon production in where its' English dub wasn't recorded in the United States. Instead the dub was recorded in Japan in where the voice cast was comprised of native English-speakers.
The Wii U version of Pokkén Tournament has no playable Bug or Steel-type Pokémon, and no versions of the game have any playable Normal-type Pokémon.

Beginning in the 1970s, the output of Western coal production became significant. With this increase in output, the demand for rotary coal-type gondolas increased as well.
dominated by Thrall. Billed as "A rugged, high-mileage coal car for unit-train operation with rotary dumping service," FMC's 4000 Coal Gondola was successful among utility companies of the mid-west. The Public Service Company of Oklahoma, Central Power & Light Company, and Southwestern Electric Power Company were clients of FMC, and since that time, these cars have passed into the second-ownership of companies like RTI Railway Services. Today, the FMC Gondola, and the similar gondolas of other manufacturers, are used in scrap and tie replacement services everywhere.


The world faces multiple global challenges. From climate change to mass migration, the list is long and varied. To combat these global threats, we will need breakthrough innovations across nearly all sectors and technologies. Venture capital is likely to be a key enabler to the world's most most creative and daring entrepreneurs to develop the disruptive innovations and new business models that tackle some of the world's big challenges.
The event Innovation for Sustainability: venture capital as a driver of change brings to Zurich some of the most prominent thinkers and entrepreneurial pioneers dedicated to developing market-based solutions to some of the world's big problems. The event will focus on the entrepreneurial opportunities taking place in two key areas: urban mobility and food systems.
Meat and dairy companies have a big environmental impact. According to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the top 20 meat and dairy companies in the world emitted more greenhouse gases in 2017 than all of Germany, the world's fourth largest economy. At the same time, startups using technology to engineer meat in labs or develop plant-based alternative threaten the entire meat production value chain. Going forward, the complex and costly value chain required to raise and slaughter billions of livestock each year could be the next sector set for a shake-up.
The global transportation sector is set for disruption. With over 1.2 billion cars on the road today, making up nearly a quarter of global CO2 emissions, the sector is faced with rising social and environmental costs, demanding a fundamental rethink of urban mobility systems. In a world of exponential change, transportation is already being disrupted by a confluence of forces like electrification, autonomous driving, the Internet of Cars (IoC) and the sharing economy. For instance, a number of startups are working on autonomous electric cars, shared car networks, ride hailing platforms, bike and scooter sharing offerings, and so much more. The transformation has just begun.

Community Building with Drupal Toronto
A few weeks ago, Torontoist discussed a number of emerging collaborative gatherings, including Talk20 and Dorkbot, and a considerable omission was made when Drupal Toronto was left off that list. Toronto is quite renowned for having a very active and vital community contributing to the development of the Drupal Content Management System (CMS). What is Drupal and why should you care? Put quite simply, Drupal is an open source system for building websites. It is like Movable Type, the engine behind Torontoist and the Gothamist network, but it is extremely flexible and can be used to build any kind of site, from a simple blog to a social networking site. A global community of developers are working on modules that you can plug into the platform for all kinds of applications, from Google Maps mashups, to organizing a portfolio, to tracking recipes, Drupal is fantastic at organizing information at all scales.
Drupal was originally developed by Dries Buytaert in 2001 and evolved into an open source project shortly thereafter. Drupal served as the foundation for Deanspace: a social tool that helped mobilize Howard Dean's supporters during his unlikely ascent within the Democratic party during the 2004 primaries. The software has since grown into one of the most popular CMS solutions largely due to the sizable, dedicated community developing and discussing the software. Torontoist recently caught up with veteran Drupal developer James Walker to chat about the collective's monthly meetings.
Drupal Toronto has existed since late 2005 and has since grown to a membership of over a hundred. In addition to the monthly meetings, the group has promoted two DrupalCamp events in Toronto over the last year. The last one of these events had roughly 150 attendees from all over Canada and the U.S. which Walker describes as "a microcosm of the global Drupal community: vibrant, growing and passionate."
Walker describes the events as "community-driven," and is quick to point out that the meetings accommodate a wide range of web development skill levels. Conversation could range from "deep API-level, programmer-focused discussion to a general overview of new features in the upcoming Drupal 6 release." Walker suggests anybody interested in learning about Drupal should attend regardless of their web skills as "the biggest benefit of the events is networking with other local Drupal users and developers." Torontoist readers interested in taking charge of their web presence and online community building should take note, as Drupal is a great tool with almost infinite expandability.
Drupal Toronto meets the second Tuesday of every month at the linuxcaffe, with the next event scheduled for the evening of September 11. You can check out their site for more information on upcoming events.
