She excels at fixing everyone's life—except her own.
Virginia Pembrook can never leave well enough alone. Her mission in life is to make everything right in the lives of the people she loves. She sees it as helping the Lord out with His perfect plan.
Ginney and her mother travel West to visit her cousin in Oregon. Ginney can't wait to arrive—she knows who awaits her there. Caleb Jasper, the childhood friend for whom she is sure she is the perfect life-long helpmate.
She arrives to find Caleb a changed man, steeped in self-inflicted misery and ignoring the call of God in his life.
Having abandoned his dream to become a traveling preacher, to instead take over running the family ranch, Caleb has given up on the foolish and idealistic notion that God will take care of everything. Faith, he reasons, is no guarantee of happiness. And, much as he has missed her, Caleb is certain that ranch life is no life for the city-bred Ginney Pembrook.
Ginney, the original "Miss Fixit", has her work cut out for her.
"Well, I would hope so," Caleb muttered, pulling the schoolhouse door open with more force than was strictly necessary.
She glanced at him. If she wasn't mistaken, he was gritting his teeth.
He led her into the schoolhouse and began pointing out the improvements. She was impressed with the new bookshelves covered with books and the neat little desks that had replaced the long tables and benches. She turned to ask Caleb about the blackboards, but she lost all train of thought as she found him staring at her.
"He's perfect for you, isn't he?" His voice was rough.
She didn't even pretend to not know who he was talking about. "Pastor Macintosh and I will likely be good friends." They did have a lot in common and their conversation over lunch had been invigorating to them both.
Caleb moved in closer and she noticed that his gaze flickered to her lips before returning to her eyes.
She felt lost in his eyes. He seemed so intent, yet distressed, yet amazed at the same time.
"I've always wanted you to be my first," she whispered before she even thought the words.
She thought to reassure him that this was part of God's plan, but his lips touched hers before she could and she gave up everything but breathing and staying on her feet.
At one time she'd thought anticipating a kiss had to be sweeter than the actual thing. She had been so, so wrong.
Caleb had thought that he'd experienced craving and satisfaction in his life. But nothing had ever come close to this. Surprised by his reaction to Ginney's kiss, he pulled her closer, marveling at how good she felt in his arms, how sweet she tasted.
He drank in every detail, wanting to remember the sound of her sigh, the feel of her skin under his fingertips, the smell of her hair. He could have gone on kissing her, gladly, gratefully, for the rest of his life.
But it was that thought that brought him back to reality.
This was one stolen moment. This wasn't just a first kiss; it was also a kiss goodbye.
He let himself linger for a few seconds more, but finally lifted his head, setting Ginney back from him. Her eyes were slightly glazed and she pressed her lips together as she stared at him. He drew in a long, ragged breath.
This wasn't going to help anything.
Giving a starving man a single taste of sustenance did nothing but make his hunger more ravenous.
His eyes widened. She was so honest and open. It just might be the death of him.
She looked so happy that he just wanted to smile and hug her. But he had to maintain some sense. If he got close enough to hug her, he would most certainly kiss her again. He pushed his hand through his hair. Why did she have to wait for his kiss? And why did she have to tell him that? It was more than God should expect any man, even one with the best intentions, to resist.

After years of success and growth, Nextep announces it has expanded its services in the Dallas - Fort Worth Metroplex.
The company has opened its second location, doubling-down on their efforts and presence in the growing market.
Nextep is a CPEO, or certified professional employer organization. Nextep works with small and mid-sized businesses to give them big-company benefits, from health coverage and payroll processing to risk management and human resources.
Nextep's CEO and Founder, Brian Fayak, has been dedicated to the growth of the company in Texas since it began. His commitment to serving small businesses alongside Nextep's innovative and powerful technology has led to significant growth in the DFW market.
Through Nextep's technology platform, clients can manage all of their human resource needs in one place. Payroll, benefits, and HR support are available to admins and employees at the click of a button.
With an increasing client base and proven success in the area, it was a natural growth for the Oklahoma-based employer services company. Lindsey Christopher, one of Nextep's regional sales managers, was so invested in the growth that she moved to DFW to lead the new market.
Nextep has been serving clients in DFW since the company began in 1997, and is the second-longest tenured PEO in Texas. With a market this expansive, Nextep jumped at the opportunity to grow with the thriving community.


Dotcom-Monitor's LoadView and Dynatrace are performance-engineering platforms by heart. Both have an excellent customer base, are fully Cloud native solutions and root on a long-standing history. This showcase demonstrates how the combination of both tools will close remaining gaps in the performance engineering chain.
LoadView is a SaaS based load testing platform fully equipped with protocol, headless or full browser based user simulation techniques. It provides testing support for more than 40 devices such as IE, Chrome, Firefox and top mobile devices such as IPhone, Samsung, Nokia, Blackberry and many more.
Dynatrace is a SaaS based monitoring solution and supports a broad range of technologies. Its powerful OneAgent injects all services automatically, captures the service flow and all interactions from the end user, network, and middleware through backend tiers and provides insights to actual bottlenecks.
The picture below highlights the main integration steps between both solutions.
Load Testing and Performance Monitoring are two rising stars. Organizations can no longer ignore not reliable applications because customers are on the driver seat and often quickly spend their money on other, more reliable sites. Due to this negative financial impact of increasing abandon rates and growing need for fast deployment cycles companies are seeking for a way out of this performance dilemma.
Load generation on early development stages gives confidence how the end-to-end response times develop under multi-user conditions. Testers often use load injection to verify non-functional requirements on pre-production stages.
Performance Monitoring provides insights how the application tiers deal with their service requests. Developer and operational staff often use it to find problem hotspots in their applications.
Successful companies integrated performance engineering in their development lifecycle. They simulate actual and future growth pattern on pre-production stages, identify and fix hotspots and deploy those tuned application into production. Even at production there is guesswork banned out. They permanently monitor user experience, capture all transaction and detect problems automatically based on actual and historic figures. LoadView & Dynatrace are great steps towards lean and reliable IT services.
Fetch important Dynatrace performance metrics via Dynatrace Rest API and add those metrics to the test report.
It could be difficult for a normal user to edit the script manually.
A manual script edit requires also a review by support teams prior to execution of a load test.
Recommendation: Include an "Add Dynatrace header" to Everystep context menu.
Current LoadView – Dynatrace integration starts at the server tier.
LoadView simulates real user actions and it would be easier if a loadtest tag could be added during replay so that Dynatrace were able to use its filter technique to find the corresponding user actions.
No manual or automatic script edits required on LoadView / EveryStep side.
Simply execute the stress test scenario and use the IP addresses of the load injection machines to filter the corresponding requests captured in Dynatrace.
Define a custom region in Dynatrace for the LoadView load injection machines and use the custom region to identify all load testing requests and drill down to performance hotspots.

As you grow older and once you have a baby, priorities change. Instead of a Friday night out for drinks, or a mani pedi session, the best 'me time' I could ask for is being able to do a good, hard race, close to home (or a nice quiet breakfast all alone) so logistics and travel isn't a hassle as baby-sitting isn't easy to come by (and you would feel rather guilty having coffee while your baby is at nursery).
I honestly did not plan to wake up & race (heck, I wasn't even wearing a proper sportsbra wtf) if Ashish did not get up at 6am & wake and urge me to go support our friends & take photos with the MKRC crew. I was down in the dumps on Saturday night, after being in bed for most of the day with a fever, and battling pain in my ankles and metatarsal from my fall exactly a week ago during training in these same trails.
I suppose I was meant to conquer all those things & more during this race. Helps that it was 10 minutes from home.
I know I left Ashish hanging with the baby, literally, by running off into the jungle, after he was the one that got me out of bed in the first place. So thank you sayang, without whom I would not have done this race. Helped put pressure on me to finish faster too, so we could get baby home in time for Sunday lunch.
photo: Asha & Papa waiting in the dark for mama – she was an angel, being out & about from 630am in the dark!
photo: generous hampers and goodies from sponsors! cash + trophy to take home!
Photo: My baby waited for me for 2 hours at the race finishing line – in our matching ash be nimble tee's.
I arranged for one last training run with Kimbeley, Reiko & Muz exactly one week before the race and at the Fat Tyre Switchback Trail – I stepped on a sharp stump with my right foot, fell it give way as it rolled outwards. I fell to my right where there was a sheer drop, but Kim managed to grab me with her lightning fast reflexes, and I stubbed my other foot trying to wedge it on the slope to stop my fall. As I sat down in the dirt the reality sunk in that there's probably no chance I could run.
I leave work early and feel so poorly about myself because the ball of my foot still hurts so its likely i wont be able to do my race on Sunday. Pick up Asha from my mum at TTDI – clearly forget to be grateful about having my mum helping out. Didn't drive as I had an early meeting so mum drove me home. Hobble in and after everything finally remember to ice my foot. Go through 2 ice packs and hope for the best in the morning.
Christina sends me a whatsapp text – to wish me luck for my race. I say I don't think I can do it – had a fever plus my still sore ankles and metatarsalgia which surfaced on Thursday. She says, no worries, Kiara will always be there and there'll always be another race. I reply to say there aren't many trail race so close to home, which make it so convenient with sorting Asha's day care out!
Wake up on Saturday feeling out of sorts. Have a sore neck and a slight headache. Take a nap in front of the TV after breakfast. Get ready for a 1st birthday party. Am also annoyed by the fact that Ashish didn't bother to check the dress code, and assumed it was a pool party. So here I am, incredibly under dressed in a singlet and a long skirt – with asha in a tee and shorts, the room is full of well dressed women and kids in party dresses, heels; the men are all in button-up shirts and pants.
Go home – go straight to bed. Feet are so cold, have chills all over. Take 2 panadol but when I wake up 2 hours later I still have a headache. Mum comes into the room and feels my forehead and knows I have a fever. Goes out to get me 3 coconuts. What a sweetie. Anyway, am resigned to the fact that I won't be able to run on Sunday.
Although I harbour a glimmer of hope. The eternal optimist in me who says never give up, never stop preparing, never not be ready, never not hope. I ice my foot again. But then we put on a TV series and I watch as Ashish falls asleep again. I think to myself – if I wake up at 6am and am not sleepy, I'll take it as a sign that I can do this race. I flex my foot to see if I can feel any pain. I feel a bit of a dull soreness.
At 6am I open my eyes. No way. Ankle doesn't hurt. No more fever. But as if I'm going to race. No way I am prepared, no energy gels. Ashish wakes up, says he wants to go and sibuk at the race and do a team photo with MKRC – his running club buddies, and go cheer them on. I'm like, really? How come this is the first time I'm hearing of this? I ask him, you taking Asha? I also say, hey maybe I should take my camera from the shop along the way to take photos. Ashish says no, he wanted to just pop in, take photos, and come back. I say, ok you go then. I'll stay home with Asha. He insists we go together. Asha starts to wake up, sits up, rubs her eyes. I feed her. Then its a stressful 15 minutes, realising we have RUN OUT OF DIAPERS. Then we can't find her baby carrier. And then the backpack I use to pack her things is in his car outside. We have a mini argument – he thinks we should drive, I say are you crazy, there are 600+ runners and extra cars there! We will waste more time. He agrees in a huff. I throw on a navy ash be nimble tee to be matching with Asha, and open the drawer and pull out my lucky socks – the ones with foxes on it I wore for Asha's delivery. Who knows – maybe Ashish will tell me I should run! I grab my race kit from the car along with my leather work bag with Asha's shoes and toys and my wallet and keys. Grab 2 slices of bread and a bottle of water, because Asha and I need to eat something – and there won't be any food at Kiara until much later if we were gonna stay there till the race ends.
Ashish is pissed off. We're so late. He's missed his group photo. He is missing the whole point of going this early. I say, ok should we come back later? In hindsight, he'll say I didn't mean it when I give him all these options for me staying back, him going later. Anyway, we get dropped off at about 639am. I thought race flag off is 7am, its actually 730am. So I need to go to the toilet and the queue is long so I bump into Mel, who's back from HK – and borrow her keys to run up to her house to use the loo. Get back and everyone is asking me whether I am running and where is my bib? I ask Ashish sheepishly if I can run. He even suggested it when we were talking to Jonas. I think he cant quite decide. He knows I will run if he tells me to, but that'll mean derailed plans for the day and he will have to hang around with Asha.
So here's the deal. If you're a mum, you know what is going through my head. You've squeezed your schedule and your motivation so hard to get just those few precious hours to train over the past few weeks. You fight, negotiate, plan, pre-plan, improvise to juggle and balance work, spending quality time with your baby, family time, some sort of semblance of chores and housework, so you don't feel guilty about having those 3-4 hours a week to run, to do a core workout and then to run again. And if you're like me and hate working out alone, you will call, message, whatsapp a few people every few days in the hopes someone will say yes, at the right time, but with some flexibility in case something pops ups, for the right time of the day which suits your narrow window, so you don't have to run alone. And if you've had a sick baby, some disruptions to alternate baby sitting arrangements, a crazy time at work, these windows continue to narrow. And then there's the additional consideration of logistics: if the race doesn't require traveling for more than 30 minutes and you have the option to exit if your injuries flare up, because you know the trails so well, and its a place you want to truly call your playground. On top of that, its because there are a bunch of people you want to impress, because, well frankly, you run a sportswear brand and you need to show that you aren't just another person with a vanity project trying to make pretty workout clothes without knowing what runners need and want, and without getting gritty and raw and fighting it out in the trails. Yes there are also considerations of whether it'll exacerbate my foot injuries and my barely-there recovery from fever. Not that I have to explain myself or owe anyone a reason why I do what I do, to articulate my rationale: I figured, who knows when I'll race again (have not signed up for another race), and I know the trails well enough to exit if my feet feel unbearable or if I feel like passing out or am getting the chills from my fever.
Anyway, so I decide to run at 6:54am. I know Ashish is refusing to make eye contact because he's not happy I'm dropping the bomb (Asha) on him and that he is thinking, she was just faking her fever and sore feet yesterday. I try to make last minute arrangements: I put everything essential in the back pack (house keys in case he needs to dash back to the house, my phone so he can order an uber, my wallet so he can buy stuff for himself and Asha's breakfast, wet wipes, a ball for Asha), and tell him to drop off my bag with Mel if need be. Later I find out he's put all of those things in Muz's car, and Muz has run off into the trails with Reza?!?! Boys really don't think to be 150% prepared, at ALL times, do they?
I start the race, I tell myself to take it easy. don't push anywhere as hard as we do when we train. I feel some chills, I tell my body, its just the cool weather, fever, be gone! I chit chat with Karen for a bit as we start the first portion on the tarmac road. We wind up the Kiara parking road side and I tell myself save energy for those climbs, steady does it. Save energy. I might have to pull out halfway but we'll see. Take sips of water. Watch the ground. Watch every step. Don't let my mind drift, watch the ground. Watch for race markers. Don't get lost. We start entering the trails near the water tank, familiar, easy ground. We wind down into magic carpet and then up magic circle. My favourite trails. I pass my Eunice – she's sprained her ankle. I ask if she's ok and she says minor issue. I keep going. We reach first tarmac junction, then head up into 2K, i over take a few runners. We get to 4-way tarmac intersection and hit Fat Tyre Switchback. I see Ed. My ankle starts hurting as I get down to the point where I sprained my ankle exactly a week before, its as if my body knows and is telling me to slow down. I walk. Until we get down to the base, where the small sungai is, then I start taking smaller, quicker steps. Ed yells out, Gina is not far ahead! We go up Sungai trail, then hit the tarmac, then reenter the trails. Eventually we wind down the barracuda trail for a short while, get down to the stream again and start the start of many climbs to come. I keep Ashish's words in my head, of him repeating what Chee Ming said to him, wah your bini can really climb, huh. I overtake a few MKRC guys. I catch up with Gina. She says these hills are really her enemy. We run for a bit, she overtakes me on the downhill, and I hang back to go easy on my ankles. We get to one of the scrambling bits down near the houses on the other side of Pencala Tunnel. Burst sprinkler – what runs through my head is the article in The Star which says almost 40%+ of our water is lost to leakage. I overtake another girl runner. She gets back ahead as we're back on a flatter portion. I catch up with Nick from MKRC and stick with him for almost the rest of the race.
I feel comfortable now. I'm in my playground. The place where I love to get lost in my thoughts. To feel jungle so close up on all sides, like it's closing in on me, but yet it gives me so much space in my head and in my lungs. I forget about my heavy legs. The pain in my lungs I channel into my breathing. I take my time, but at a steady rate, getting up the steep bits. I maintain my stride going down. I push a little more on the flats – I pretend like I'm in one of my running shoots – that every stride should have exaggerated form, good form: chest upright, legs clawing into the ground, arms not too high but catching the air to push me ahead. I'm happy. The steepest climb, I look up at Nick, he says, dont think too much, just climb. I forget about the girl coming up fast behind me, Sue's friend. I forget about chasing anyone. I admire the giant boulders at the top of the trail, I look at each of the trees upholding the earth, partly to anchor myself mentally, and to check for any thorns before i grab them to help me up. The jungle is hoisting me up, I tell myself. Ok then, hurry up, Asha doesn't have all day – papa will want to go home, and he did say 2 hours will be how long it'll take me. We get to the top of twin peaks, somewhat. Volunteer says, downhill from here. I start my downhill – figure its my only advantage that I know these parts so well. I get down to the bottom of Angel's pass. I see Jeremy – he says another big climb. Can't be. I can't afford to slow down now anyway. I keep pummelling down. I feel my right knee. But its ok – less than 5-10 minutes to go till I hit the 2 hour mark – it must be close to the end. We connect back on Round the Mountain trail – someone told me we wouldn't get on this trail but I figured it must be close to the end. I see Kelvin – he jokes, just a few more climbs! I speed up. Large, sprinting strides. Last 300m. I see Muz and Reza – they keep yelling at me and the girl behind me to hurry up. I can feel it. I feel good, I 'sprint gently' to the finishing arch, just in case she's catching up behind me. So relieved I survived. Find Asha. give her a kiss. Find some meds for my ankle. Deal with the aftermath of Ashish waiting around for 2 hours.
I finish in 3rd place women's open. Sweet, sweet victory. Perhaps this is the best way to race – last minute decision, no pressure, no expectations, happy to DNF – because I'd rather a DNF than a half-hearted attempt.
I really shouldn't have had the beer Ed handed to me. Felt so ill. Headache, felt like throwing up. Eventually did at 1.30pm before going out for family lunch. Left ankle and right knee so sore. Ashish saying no sympathy for me. It's ok – I had my cake, can't eat it too. Happy to deal with consequences because I know I pushed it and got a chance in a million (ok in 50) which doesn't come by often, and I know I did stuff up his morning. But I know he was proud of me, through his anger and frustration and annoyance.
I would do it again, but perhaps with a lot more notice and expectation management, and a stash of spare diapers.

HomeIKA NEWSPOLITICSEXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: I will anchor my administration on transparency and accountability – MR. FESTUS IWEREBOR
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: I will anchor my administration on transparency and accountability – MR. FESTUS IWEREBOR
A frontline chairmanship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ika North East Local Government Area of Delta State, Mr. Festus Anwuli Iwerebor has promised to anchor his administration on transparency and accountability.
Mr. Iwerebor who gave the assurance while fielding questions from journalists on Friday at his Boji-Boji, Owa residence, Ika North East Local Government Area, stated that one of his major priorities would be to enhance the infrastructural development of the council area, and to boost the human capacity base of the people, through youths and women empowerment, as a way of complementing the three point agenda of Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan's administration.
He noted that when a woman is sufficiently empowered, it reflects in the home, while youth empowerment covers the entire family, adding that it is an area he will lay strong emphasis on.
Farmers, he disclosed, would be given all necessary assistance to improve their yields, so as to meet up with the food requirements of the people. He noted that worldwide farmers are given subsidies in the form of fertilizer at very cheap rates, provision of farming tools, granting of micro-credit, stating further that he will also focus his attention on the opening up of rural roads for easy evacuation of agricultural produce. He equally disclosed that his government will endeavour to build storage facilities in places like Igbodo and Ekwuoma where perishable farm products like tomatoes would be stored.
On the ravaging erosion devastating Boji-Boji metropolis, Mr. Iwerebor said he will put measures in place that will curtail the indiscriminate dumping of gabbage in water ways, which in his view, was responsible for blocked drainages that makes rain water to spill on the roads. He said that stiff penalty will be imposed on defaulters, and that he also intends to make Ika North East one of the cleanest council areas in the country.
He stated that there are factors that predispose people, particularly the youths to crime, disclosing that he will tackle the issue of crime though the massive empowerment of the youths, who form the bulk of those involved in violent criminal activities. He sees those engaging in armed robbery and other sundry criminal activities as frustrated members of the community who should be assisted, through empowerment.
Mr. Iwerebor disclosed that he will set-up community policing by encouraging and supporting vigilante groups in all wards in the Local Government who will liase with the police to check crimes. He also added that he will procure mobile phones for the police, through which "emergency calls" can be made and logistics for effective policing.
Responding to the question on Okada riding by Ika youths, the chairmanship aspirant submitted that it is another way of reducing unemployment, saying that it has helped in reducing joblessness drastically, but however stated his only displeasure is that they go without putting on helments.
Mr. Iwerebor disclosed that he will not be relying on money coming from the Federation Account, which he said is not even enough to embark on capital projects that will be of benefit to the people, but will partner with the private sector on the basis of Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) to propel economic activities in the local government.
He stressed that infrastructures and facilities such as good roads, health centres and general enabling social/economic environment will be provided to attract investors to the area.
He called on the Federal Government to expedite action on the step-down being proposed for Ika land, and to also improve on power generation and distribution, as he observed that energy sector is outside the scope of the local and state governments.
On the rumour making the rounds that he was once convicted in Austria, Mr. Iwerebor denied vehemently, stating that it was probably coming from faceless political opponents, who were not bold enough to give their names. He added that he was never involved in any crime that could have warranted his arrest or conviction.
Mr. Festus Auwuli Iwerebor was born on 9th February, 1967, to the family of Chief Humprey Iwerebor, the current chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in Ika North East Local Government Area. He attended Ngala Primary School, Bojo-Boji, Owa and Owa-Alero Secondary School, Owa-Alero, before proceeding to the University of Benin, where he studied Political Science and later Delta State University Abraka for his MSC, Public Administration.
On graduation, he ventured into the importation of cars into Nigeria from Europe. His business took him to Italy, Germany and Austria. He is married with two kids, a boy and a girl.
Mr. Iwerebor revealed that over the years he had assisted Ika indigenes in getting employment and in financing some persons in traveling overseas. He disclosed that he had also sheltered and fed many Ika people in his house in Lagos.
Since joining politics, where he was Special Assistant to the governor twice, he had succeeded in securing employment and appointment for so many people, with emphasis on indigenes of Ika North East Local Government Area.
He said he believed he is qualified for the job because of his experience in government, his administrative exposure, and academic background.
Mr. Iwerebor stated that the decision of the party to put him forward has nothing to do with his father's position, but however conceded that his father's political antecedents contributed in some measure in the confidence the party hierarchy had on him.
His Europe experience, he said, has afforded him the opportunity to know that development is an imperative of our modern world, adding that there are basic facilities and infrastructures that are needed for modern existence.
He disclosed that he has a blue print, which he does not want to release for now. Mr. Iwerebor pointed out that he is not gunning for the chairmanship because of money but to make a name because he is not ending at the local level. He promised to build an ultra modern Trailer Park between Umunede and Ekwuoma. That, he said, will be achieved through partnership with the private sector. He further stated that he will spread his reach to the state and federal levels so as to attract development to the council area.
He disclosed that while serving in Ibori's government, he made a lot of proposals and generated a lot of ideas, which were accepted by the government.
He enjoined Ika indigenes in diaspora to actively participate in the development of Ika land, while promising to open up a website, where he will be interacting and sharing ideas with his people all over the world.
Mr. Iwerebor remarked that this father, Chief Humphrey Iwerebor is not step-downing as PDP Chairman in Ika North East Local Government Area, as being insinuated but that he is gracefully bowing out, and that he will still remain a rallying point and a leader in Delta State politics.

The 21st century will witness the dilemma between socialism or social anarchy, and the differences between them are major, Prime Minister Costas Simitis noted yesterday.
He was addressing a conference by the Institute of Strategic and Development Studies Andreas Papandreou (ISTAME) on the issue of "The Left in Europe of the 21st Century" at the Athens Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Mr. Simitis said that socialism stands for controlled development by man for man and individual initiative containing social responsibility and collectivity.
On the other hand, he said, social anarchy means development under conditions of ruthless individualism and political crudeness, and individual initiative without mutual respect, solidarity and social justice.
Referring to Europe, Mr. Simitis said that the centre-left is a political challenge that gives the opportunity for new power blocs to form and guarantee development and social cohesion in Europe.
Referring to the differences between socialism and neo-conservatism, Mr. Simitis said: "We are not all politically the same; we do not resemble in any way the neo-conservative world of oppressive anarchy, freedom for the few and bondage of the many". The Right, he said, resembled an apprentice magician who had unleashed forces beyond his control.
Foreign Minister Theodoros Pangalos said on Thursday that Greece was seeking closer economic cooperation with resource-rich Kazakhstan, especially with its oil and gas industries.
"We are interested in productive cooperation which will be mutually profitable," Mr. Pangalos told reporters after meeting Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev at the end of a two-day official visit to the Central Asian state.
Kazakhstan - a country five times the size of France and with a population of just 16.7 million people - is attractive because of its huge oil and gas reserves, the minister said. "Greece is buying important volumes of gas from Kazakhstan, and we shall also buy oil. We are planning a big pipeline from Novorossiisk to (the Black Sea port of) Burgas in Bulgaria and then to the Mediterranean," he said.
Russia's Black Sea port of Novorossiisk is the destination of an oil pipeline due to be built by the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) from Kazakhstan's huge Tengiz oil field, in line with an agreement signed in May this year.
The CPC deal allows full project financing and construction on the $2 billion project to proceed. CPC will build a 1,500 km (940 mile) pipeline from Tengiz to Novorossiisk to transport it later to international markets.
The CPC pipeline - to be built by Russia, Kazakhstan, Oman and eight large oil companies by the end of 1999 - will have an initial capacity of 28 million tonnes a year (560,000 barrels per day) and a peak of 67 million tonnes a year (1.34 million barrels per day).
Mr. Pangalos did not specify the size of Greek investment in the project aimed at extending the CPC pipeline, or when it would start and how much oil his country would buy.
Both Kazakhstan and Greece are dissatisfied with the level of their commercial relations, although foreign trade jumped last year to $16.5 million from $4.26 million in 1995.
The United States said yesterday it could not promote any initiative in the Aegean until Greece and Turkey reached an agreement to reduce tension in the region.
US State Department spokesman Nicholas Burns said "we believe that any measures to reduce tension that can be agreed and applied in the Aegean must be implemented by both sides."
Mr. Burns added that confidence-building measures (CBMs) in the Aegean were still being discussed under the aegis of NATO, while there was no concluding agreement yet.
"We must await the completion of these talks," he said, adding that "Greece must be given time to evaluate Turkey's public statements". He was referring to Ankara's unilateral decision announced earlier this week to limit its military activity in the Aegean between July 1 and Aug. 15.
Athens responded with reservation to the announcement, insisting for a three-month moratorium on military overflights in the Aegean.
Greek PASOK Eurodeputy and European Socialist Party representative Dimitris Tsatsos and European Peoples Party representative Mendez de Vigo have been appointed rapporteurs by the Institutional Issues Committee for the IGC report. The report, on the results of the Amsterdam Intergovernmental Conference, will provide the basis for the European Parliament's avis regarding the revised Treaty which was finalised during the Amsterdam summit after long consultations. The report is due for appr oval by the European Parliament on 19 November.
Tourist arrivals by charter flights are on the rise, the Panhellenic Federation of Hoteliers announced yesterday.
Using figures from arrivals at airports throughout Greece for June, the federation warned that the increases did not preclude a drop in prices offered by tour operators.
According to their data, the largest increase in June was observed at the airport of Irakleion, Crete, where arrivals rose 20 per cent in June, compared to the same month last year.
At other destinations, tourist arrivals seemed to increase for Samos (up 7.5 per cent); decrease in Mytilini (down 0.9 per cent) while an increase of 1 per cent was noted for Corfu.
May also posted increases compared to figures from the same month last year in terms of charter arrivals. Specifically:Athens (9.8 per cent); Thessaloniki (15.9 per cent), Irakleio (6.4 per cent), Corfu (1 per cent), Rhodes (13 per cent), Zakynthos (8.7 per cent), Kos (16.7 per cent) and Samos (1 per cent).
Despite the increases, however, the hoteliers' federation warned that long- term infrastructure deficiencies in tourism policy had led to a drop in prices and an increase in lower-income tourists, while calling on the government to take measures immediately "before we are led to irreversible conditions".
Olympic Airways yesterday approved an average fare increase of about 7 per cent on most domestic flights.
The state-owned and managed national carrier said it based its decision on a number of trade and commercial factors, such as an increase in fuel costs, which it said rose by 43 per cent, and competition from other forms of transportation.
On the other hand, the OA board also decided to apply a system of discounts for certain categories of passengers. Among others, a 20 per cent discount for children between 2-12 years of age, a 20 per cent discount for young people between 12 and 24, a d iscount ranging between 25-40 per cent for families with at least three persons and through fares with a discount ranging between 21-47 per cent for each passenger using a combination of domestic flights via Athens.
The new prices for some popular destinations are as follows:
Athens-Hania 16,900 drachmas; Athens-Irakleio 18,500; Athens-Thessaloniki24, 000 (business class); Athens-Thessaloniki 18,600 (economic class); Athens- Kos 18,000; Athens-Rhodes 21,500; Athens-Corfu 17,300; Athens-Mykonos 15, 700 and Athens-Santorini 18,8 00 drachmas.
Officials in Rhodes warned yesterday that they would invite foreign airlines to commence domestic flights to the Dodecanese if state-run Olympic Airways again raises fares on flights to the island at a higher rate than on routes to other Greek destination s.
The Rhodes Municipal Council unanimously took the decision after recent announcements that OA will increase its domestic fares by 9.5 per cent, while the increase for the Athens-Rhodes route would be 12.5 per cent. Rhodes Mayor Georgios Yiannopoulos charged that "Olympic Airways is continuing to perpetrate a blatant injustice against the island, which is seriously harming the island's tourism and making the movement of residents too expensive."
Mr. Yiannopoulos said the one-way air fare from Athens to Rhodes is presently 20,000 drachmas, while the corresponding tickets for the Athens- Corfu and Athens-Alexandroupolis routes, which take the same time, cost 16, 000 and 14,000 drachmas, respectively .
The municipal council also decided to place itself at the head of protest actions and at the same time lodge appeals with the Council of State and, if necessary, the European Union.
Greek industrial production rose 0.9 percent in the first four months of 1997, the National Statistics Service said yesterday.
Industrial output was 3.1 percent higher in April year-on-year against the corresponding month last year.
Share prices remained under mild pressure to lose further ground on the Athens Stock Exchange and finish below the 1,500-point psychological level.
The general index closed at 1,493.53 points, down 0.67 percent, in subdued trading. Turnover was a thin 9.8 billion drachmas.
Most sector indices ended lower. Banks fell 1.45 percent, Leasing was 1.85 percent off, Insurance eased 1.14 percent, Investment ended 1.01 percent down, Industrials rose 0.22 percent, Construction fell 1.57 percent, Holding increased 0.86 percent and Miscellaneous dropped 0.95 percent.
Traders said the market would remain on a short-term downward correction on worries over inflation and reports of new financial problems faced by a number of brokerage firms.
Remek, Chalyps Cement, Viohalco and Keranis scored the biggest gains, while Lambropoulos, Doudos, Bank of Central Greece and Ergodata suffered the heaviest losses of the day.
National Bank of Greece closed at 33,300 drachmas, Ergobank at 16,500, Alpha Credit Bank at 18,010, Titan Cement at 13,885, Intracom at 11,650 and OTE at 6,385.
The Commission has approved Cohesion Fund assistance amounting to ECU 1.5 million for a new project in the environment sector in Greece. The project aims to complete work to replace and extend the drinking-water supply network of the town of Veria at an overall cost of ECU 1.9 million.
The project to establish a drinking water supply system in Veria in the Greek region of Central Macedonia involves in particular a network of pipes stretching 48.8 km.
The work is scheduled to be completed by the end of 1997.
Padraig Flynn, European Commissioner with responsibility for Employment and Social Affairs, announced that the European Commission has decided to bring a case before the European Court of Justice regarding Greek legislation applicable to employees of the IKA (National Institute of Social Security) and employees of DEH (Public Power Company).
This legislation conflicts with European Union law concerning social security and equal pay. Female employees suffer discrimination compared to their male colleagues with regard to the method of calculation of their pensions.
The infringement specifically concerns discrimination against women employees of the IKA and their right to a marriage allowance from their employer under collective agreements negotiated at both branch and national level.
Although this discrimination was abolished with effect from 1st January 1989, its effect continues to be felt. This is because the marriage allowance is taken into account when calculating the pension payments of IKA employees so that women who qualified for a pension before 1st January 1989 or who took advantage of early retirement before this date continue to suffer discrimination compared to their male counterparts, as they did not qualify for a marriage allowance before this date.
Female employees of DEH suffered the same problem concerning a family allowance until the relevant legislation was amended following a Greek High Court judgment. The discrimination was abolished with effect from 2nd September 1983 but not with retrospective effect to 1st January 1981 as required by Community law.
Greece was accepted as a member of UNESCO's inter-governmental committee for the protection of intellectual property rights.
The committee adopted a Greek proposal for a survey to be conducted on the protection of intellectual rights, recognised by the Pact of Rome in 1996.
UNESCO's general director for intellectual property rights welcomed Greece's interest in implementing international agreements on the protection of artists' property rights.
Representing Greece at the meeting were the general director of the Intellectual Property Rights Organisation, the country's permanent representative at UNESCO, and a culture ministry adviser.
Sunny weather will prevail throughout the country today with a rise in temperatures forecast in the Ionian Sea regions and mainland Greece. Winds will be variable, moderate to strong. Athens will be sunny with temperatures between 23-36C. Same in Thessaloniki with temperatures from 21-36C.

Међународни Ђурђевдански фестивал дјечје пјесме је културна манифестација Републике Српске посвећена дјеци, која се једном годишње одржава у Бањалуци.

Дјечји фестивал
Одржава се од Ђурђевдана 1994. у Бањој Луци. Основни циљеви овог фестивала су популаризација дјечје музике, афирмација аутора и извођача, очување дјечје пјесме од комерцијализације и шунда и допринос музичкој култури друштвене заједнице. Прве четири године манифестација је одржавана под називом "Дјеца пјевају Републици Српској", а организатор је био Педагошки завод РС. Одлуком Владе Републике Српске, овај фестивал проглашен је републичком културном манифестацијом 1998, када је комплетну продукцију преузела Српска радио-телевизија (СРТ, од 1999. РТРС). Првих десетак година значајну подршку манифестацији давао је Дјечји хор СРТ-а (РТРС-а). Од 2004. фестивал има међународни карактер. До 2020. на њему су учествовали извођачи из БиХ, Бјелорусије, Бугарске, Италије, Јапана, Канаде, Мађарске, Сјеверне Македоније,
Малте, Пољске, Румуније, Русије, Словеније, Србије, Украјине, Француске, Хрватске и Црне Горе, а написано је и снимљено око 450 нових дјечјих композиција, од којих су неке увршћене у предшколске и школске програме музичког образовања. Уреднички тим Ђурђевданског фестивала води
рачуна о тематској и жанровској прилагођености пјесама узрасту популације којој су намијењене (углавном од седам до 12 година), с тим да је старосна граница понекад незнатно помјерена. Поред утицаја на културни развој ученика основних школа, овај фестивал омогућава појединцу да од раног дјетињства допринесе културном животу средине у којој живи. Поједини учесници Ђурђевданског фестивала постали су афирмисани музички аутори и извођачи.

Ђурђевдански фестивал се традиционално одржава након Ђурђевдана на Међународни дан породице 14. маја у организацији Радио телевизије Републике Српске, града Бањалука и Владе Републике Српске, односно Министарство за породицу, омладину и спорт Републике Српске.

Background: Ultrasound has become a major diagnostic tool in many parts of the world, with broad clinical applications. Ultrasound provides a noninvasive, painless mode of diagnostics that produces instant results. Disseminating ultrasound skills to remote and rural communities has become a challenge for many medical schools, particularly those where distances are great and the density of population is low. Materials and Methods: The University of California, Irvine School of Medicine and the University of New England School of Rural Medicine in Australia piloted the use of dual video feeds in two scenarios: (1) to display the instructor's ultrasound feed and the instructor's transducer placement to provide guidance for remote students; and (2) to display side-by-side views of the instructor's and the remote student's ultrasound feeds to allow the instructor to guide the remote student in his or her transducer placement. Results and Conclusions: Using high-speed broadband connections, the two schools demonstrated the feasibility of remote, synchronous, practical, and hands-on ultrasound training and instruction over international distances. This opens up a broad range of possibilities for future remote ultrasound education.
Key words: telementoring, ultrasound, remote, medical education
Ultrasonography is an important diagnostic modality that is now an integral part of many, if not most, clinical specialties and subspecialties. It is recognized that ultrasound provides a noninvasive, painless mode of diagnostics that provides instant results. Ultrasound has particular applications in rural and remote environments1 where access to hospitals and clinicians is often limited. Although the feasibility of remote diagnostic applications of ultrasound has been well demonstrated,2-4 including
relay of images from the International Space Station,5 the practicality of remote hands-on instruction and teaching has not been reliably established; however, it has been successful in addressing some of the unmet educational needs of rural and remote Australian doctors.1
Disseminating ultrasound skills to remote and rural communities has become a challenge for many medical schools, particularly for those where distances are great and density of population is low. This challenge can be attributed in part to two underlying issues that have been identified as barriers to remote ultrasound instruction. The first issue is the wide variability in the delivery of ultrasound education in general.6 For example, although comprehensive guidelines for ultrasound education in emergency medicine have been established by the American College of Emergency Physicians, Ahern et al.6 found that many programs fell short of the required 150 ultrasound exams, and only 54% of programs "felt they were meeting all their goals for resident [Emergency Ultrasound] education.''
The second barrier to remote ultrasound education is that ultrasound education requires not only a didactic component, but as well a complementary hands-on instruction in the practical skills of ultra-sonography. It is not possible to learn ultrasound through didactic measures alone. The art of placing a transducer on a patient and generating a perfect image can only be learned through a rigorous hands-on curriculum that involves expert instruction in how to manipulate the transducer. However, achieving active, hands-on experiences can be ambitious in remote and distance-learning environments. This is because of a variety of reasons, including technical, infrastructure, and financial limitations. Furthermore, although remote videoconferencing and remote instruction by lecture format have been well established,7 the pedagogical training needed to promote the effective use of synchronous videoconferencing has been inadequate, with institutions relying on faculty to be self-taught. Accordingly, integrating a hands-on aspect to remote instruction creates further technical and pedagogical complexity that often goes unaddressed.
To address these barriers to remote ultrasound instruction, the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine (UC Irvine) and the University of New England School of Rural Medicine in Australia (UNE) have collaborated in a pilot program investigating the use of high-speed broadband connections, validated pedagogical lessons and remote hands-on ultrasound experience.
UC Irvine is located in suburban Orange County, California, the sixth most populous county in the United States.8 The Medical School is an Liaison Committee on Medical Education-accredited institution that educates more than 400 students and trains more than 600 residents annually.
In August 2010, UC Irvine became one of the first medical schools to launch an iPad® (Apple, Cupertino, CA)-based curriculum through the iMedEd initiative, the goal of which is to transform learning with a digital, interactive environment.9 UC Irvine was also one of the first to create a 4-year integrated ultrasound curriculum. Publicly available lectures and online podcasts (in iTunesU10) form the basis of this curriculum, supplemented by an extensive hands-on skills lab, a critical component of the program. First- and second-year medical students receive weekly hands-on training with expert ultrasound instructors during a longitudinal clinical foundations course. Students continue their ultrasound training during third-year clerkships and are offered a fourth-year ultrasound elective.
Remote and distance teaching have been hallmarks of the UNE, located in Armidale (population of 25,00011) in rural Australia, halfway between Sydney and Brisbane. The nearest major metropolitan center to Armidale is Newcastle, which is 241 miles (388 km) by road, but there are no regular flights between these two cities. Of note is that UNE is isolated, with more than an 8-h train service available once a day from Sydney to Armidale, no train service to Brisbane, and only five flights a day during weekdays available between Armidale and Sydney.
UNE maintains a focus on distance education, although some courses are exclusively delivered on-campus, including the undergraduate entry medical degree, a joint program between UNE and the University of Newcastle. The first intake of students of this joint medical program began in 2008. The students enrolled in the School are based in Armidale for the first 3 years. In the fourth and fifth years, students are on clinical placements, often in Newcastle or larger costal centers. The availability of clinicians for instruction is limited given the rural location and isolation of Armidale. The collaboration between UNE and UC Irvine, which launched in 2011, has enabled synchronous links for clinical instruction to be a regular feature of the UNE medical program.
THE UC IRVINE-UNE COLLABORATION
The UC Irvine-UNE collaboration, initially undertaken as a joint university project between the medical schools, has now developed into an international affiliation that involves synchronous virtual engagement and physical on-site visits, enabling UNE to become an international medical school in a rural setting. Specific features ofthe UNE educational program and initiatives include the adoption of UC Irvine initiatives, specifically, use of iPads for delivery of the medical curriculum and implementation of ultrasound broadly across the educational strata.
Although UC Irvine faculty and students have visited UNE and held on-site courses on ultrasound and simulation, initial links were made using the Australian Academic and Research network (AAR-net),12 demonstrating ease of access, quality of call, and interoperability via a public Internet protocol (IP) address. A pilot study was launched to investigate the efficacy of remote hands-on ultrasound instruction using this established videoconferencing link. The
hypothesis for this research was that a dual video stream approach with a telementoring pedagogical protocol for ultrasound instruction could effectively address the barriers to remote ultrasound instruction described above.
Participants in this pilot study were eight second-year medical students from UNE and faculty from both UNE and UC Irvine. The UNE students had studied anatomy, physiology, and pathology and an introduction to ultrasonography. The UC Irvine clinical faculty member who served as the instructor was a highly skilled ultraso-nographer with extensive experience in ultrasound training and use.
The use of dual video streams was central to the design of the remote ultrasound teaching experience. A form of expert visual guidance13 was used to educate the UNE students. Expert visual guidance is the use of computer assistance to display to an ultrasound examiner ''how the image plane moves towards (or away from) a desired anatomical location as the ultrasound probe is manipulated over the patient's body."13,p'77 Although Sheehan et al.13 investigated the use of expert visual guidance on a computer in a simulated tele-ultrasound session, our pilot study planned to take advantage of the ability to conduct a true tele-ultrasound session with live video capabilities from the instructor and the remote students.
Interoperable high-speed, high-definition videoconference connections between the UC Irvine and UNE sites were made possible by a multipoint control unit that allows multiple sites to connect into a single conference channel (in this case, a Codian bridge) and the video management server. The videoconference format was International Telecommunication Union (ITU)14 standards using H.323 protocols with a videoconference server. This format is an open platform that makes it easier to add functionality to the system such as increased or external storage, firewalls, virus protection, and video algorithms and is easier to integrate with other systems. The system is fully scalable, enabling any number of network video products to be added to the system as needed.
Both the UC Irvine and UNE networks run a video subnet enabling open videoconference access between any registered port on either network or registered portable devices. Unlike other universities with a culture of risk aversion, the capability to make and receive videoconference calls is neither limited nor controlled between the two sites. The key foci are interoperability, portability, and mobility along with the pedagogical components of the sessions.
Connections between UC Irvine and UNE included multipoint connections on various devices using ITU standards-based platforms with relatively high-speed (10-100 megabits/s [Mbps] download and 2-20Mbps upload speed). The consistent component in all connections was the standards-based codecs used by both sites and participants. A codec, derived from the words "coder" and "decoder," is hardware or software that is capable of encoding or decoding a stream of digital data. Faculty used the soft codec application Cisco
(San Jose, CA) Jabber Video (CJV) for TelePresence (Movi)15 on devices, including PCs and Macs (Apple). The need for a standards-based connectivity that can include multipoint connections and data sharing was critical for the geographically dispersed faculty. Internet connectivity was established by local area network connection via an IP address as well as 3G wireless connectivity registered to the Gatekeeper at UNE.
Audio is also a key component of any videoconferencing connection, particularly the issue of minimizing latency (the delay in the audio signal), packet loss (the loss of some data during the connection resulting in garbled or dropped connections), and synchronization between the video and audio signal. The H.323 protocols include both audio and video standards. During this pilot study, the audio connection benefited from the high-speed, standards-based connections such that latency was minimal, as was video and audio jitter, with very little packet loss throughout the connections.
Two pilot sessions for synchronous hands-on ultrasound instruction were undertaken between UC Irvine and UNE in July and August 2012. On the first occasion, the multipoint link included a wireless 3G connection in Brisbane, Australia using CJV and a wireless connection in Sydney as part of the Remote Medical Education Conference.16 Sites were linked to the UNE bridge and UC Irvine via an optic fiber connection. During this session, four second-year UNE students were given brief instruction on several ultrasound windows by a UC Irvine instructor using a dual video stream to enable ultrasound images to be visible to the UNE students and clinician (the UC Irvine instructor) and remote observation by the academic director. Streaming ultrasound video taken from a standardized patient via the transducer of the UC Irvine instructor was shared in the first video stream. In the second video stream, the handling of the ultrasound transducer on the standardized patient's skin by the UC Irvine instructor was visible to the UNE students (Fig. 1).
After receiving instruction from the UC Irvine instructor, the UNE students asynchronously demonstrated their ultrasound competency on a local standardized patient. UNE students used a dual video stream to transmit a video stream from their ultrasound feed and a
video stream transmitting their transducer placement on the body. This resulted in the UC Irvine instructor being able to give real-time feedback on the image quality and probe mechanics for each sono-graphic window. UNE students rotated on using the transducer with the standardized patient so that each student received one-on-one telementoring and feedback throughout the process from the UC Irvine instructor. The latency in the connection was minimal, although there were issues with the dual video feeds for each ultrasound device, particularly with a public IP connection that was not at guaranteed rates of connection speed.
On the second occasion, connectivity was accomplished via AARnet rather than a public IP connection. More significant is that the pedagogical protocol was extended to include synchronous side-by-side expert and novice ultrasound images to the instruction, again taking advantage of dual video streams. Prior to this second session, the UNE students were instructed to watch video podcasts on iTu-nesU10 created by the UC Irvine instructor on a range of ultrasound scenarios, including cardiac, renal, and liver windows. During the session, four second-year UNE students received instruction remotely from a UC Irvine instructor while contemporaneously using the ultrasound transducer on a standardized patient in Armidale. The protocol was conducted in a stepwise fashion, where the UC Irvine instructor demonstrated the various ultrasound windows covered in the podcasts on a standardized patient. The first video stream from the UC Irvine instructor showed a real-time ultrasound video of an organ that was simultaneously viewed at both locations. The UNE student was then instructed to produce an ultrasound video stream matching that of the instructor's ultrasound video. This synchrony between the two locations provided the UNE student a side-by-side comparison so that the UC Irvine instructor could offer specific, realtime, and relevant feedback to the remote student such as how to adjust the angle or position of the transducer to capture a matching image (Fig. 2). UNE students rotated through the scenarios and received one-on-one telementoring and feedback from the UC Irvine instructor. Briefing and debriefing sessions were held with the

students and UNE faculty in conjunction with the UC Irvine ultrasound instructor.
The instructor and student feedback from the pilot sessions demonstrates that the use of dual video feeds present a viable approach to remote hands-on ultrasound training and instruction over international distances. The UC Irvine instructor reported that setting up the dual-feed system was relatively easy: the video output of the ultrasound machine was connected to the codec for one video feed, and a video camera (which was directed on the instructor's transducer placement) was also connected to the codec to provide the second video feed. Videoconference connections were tested days prior to the scheduled teaching session and again immediately before the scheduled teaching session.
The instructor also found that teaching with the dual video feed system was similar to the experience of teaching hands-on ultrasound skills in front of a normal classroom:
One needs to ensure that the camera can capture the probe movements and angling across the body. During the teaching process, it is necessary to wait for the receiving audience to attempt the ultrasound window on their own for up to 15 seconds. If unsuccessful then I can draw their attention to my probe hand explaining how I think they should move their transducer. This is essentially the same as teaching at the front of a classroom.
The instruction was further enhanced by the use of standardized patients at both sites, giving the students additional feedback and a comparative image to guide and promote the learning objectives. Students subsequently involved in remote hands-on instruction responded positively in an informal survey:
It was great to do the scan practically rather than having the method just mentioned.helps consolidate book learning when you see it for yourself and do it myself. (UNE Student 1)
It was great to be able to compound learning by hands on practical session!! (UNE Student 2)
Great to have some hands on practice—especially with 2 different [patients] because their organs look really different so it helps to build your skills. (UNE Student 3)
This research attempts to address two of the barriers to remote ultrasound education: (1) inconsistent ultrasound instructional objectives and (2) the difficulty of achieving a hands-on ultrasonography skills learning component. The first barrier can be addressed as pedagogically sound ultrasound scenarios and assessment methods mature. The use of video podcasts to share ultrasound didactics is one effort toward this end. However, limited thought is being given to the barrier of hands-on learning and virtual delivery mechanisms, even though the emphasis on telemedicine, telepsychiatry, and telesurgery
continues to increase.17,18 Minh et al.19 highlighted not only the growing use of telemedicine, but also the portability and mobility of devices and soft codec applications that include Vidyo™ (Vidyo, Hackensack, NJ) and other proprietary products. Consistent, however, is the push for use of standards-based applications, which in some universities had been lacking, as video components were purchased for learning management systems that are not interoperable or ITU standards-based, leading to islands of connectivity. If medical educators can positively engage with the opportunities that telemedicine can provide and institutional infrastructure is made available to support standards-based remote learning, the benefits of this pilot study can be better realized.
An obvious limitation of this remote instruction is that it does require significant technical support in the initial phases of set-up and stable high-speed links. For example, after establishing successful multisite connectivity on the first occasion of this pilot, the video link to the Sydney convention hotel dropped out after some video streaming was started in an adjacent conference hall. Fortunately, the links between UC Irvine and UNE were not lost. This demonstrates the fragile nature of wireless connectivity, particularly in public or commercial spaces, and the need for networks managers to ensure that any wireless connectivity includes increased density of use.
Another technical limitation is that setting up the dual video feed scanning stations can only be replicated if the proper equipment is obtained. This includes a scanning table, videocameras capable of panning, zooming, and tilting (preferably at least two), and an ultrasound machine with video output capability at each site if showing side-by-side instructor and student images is desired.
Furthermore, multiple picture-in-picture viewing on large screens is especially effective for the pedagogical protocol. Although it is essential to have the ultrasound images from the two sites displayed side-by-side, it is also important to have camera views of the participants at both sites. A student can quickly and effectively adjust the probe if he or she can see both ultrasound images and how the instructor is manipulating the probe. Similarly, it is important for the instructor to have these same views to provide appropriate guidance to students.
Remote reading of ultrasound images for diagnostic purposes has been well documented. This study, however, has also demonstrated the potential for remote synchronous hands-on skills development in ultrasound and helped to understand the technical and pedagogical methods to approach this type of instruction. Future research on the dual video feed approach that includes outcome measures such as the System Usability Scale20 from a larger sample of medical students is planned and will better inform educators on the feasibility of remote ultrasound instruction.

Q: How do I run a while loop that affects my variables and doesn't break my code? I am trying to run a while loop that changes the variables in my code but instead it just breaks my code. I am not sure what to do. I want X to change when I change T without the command being repeated.
import tkinter
from tkinter import *

code = Tk()

T = 1
X = 0

def printx():
    global X
    print(X);
def teez():
    global T
    T = 0;
def teeo():
    global T
    T = 1;

while T == 1:
    X = 5
else:
    X = 6

button1 = Button(code, text = "Print X", command = printx)
button1.pack()
button2 = Button(code, text = "T = 0", command = teez)
button2.pack()
button2 = Button(code, text = "T = 1", command = teeo)
button2.pack()

code.mainloop()

P.S. It is in python 3.7

A: First lets correct your imports.
You do not need to import Tkinter twice and it is preferred you do not use *.
The best way to import Tkinter is like this:
import tkinter as tk

Then simply use the tk. prefix for Tkinter widgets.
Now to address your looping issue. Tkinter comes with a cool method called after(). Keep in mind the after() method uses a number to represent milliseconds so 1000 is 1 second. So in the below code we are running the check_t function 1000 times a second. You may wish to change that depending on your needs. We can use this method and a function to check the status of your variables and make the needed changes without affecting the mainloop() like a while statement will.
import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()

T = 1
X = 0

def printx():
    global X
    print(X)

def teez():
    global T
    T = 0

def teeo():
    global T
    T = 1
def check_t():
    global T, X
    if T == 1:
        X = 5
        root.after(1, check_t)
    else:
        X = 6
        root.after(1, check_t)

button1 = tk.Button(root, text = "Print X", command = printx)
button1.pack()
button2 = tk.Button(root, text = "T = 0", command = teez)
button2.pack()
button2 = tk.Button(root, text = "T = 1", command = teeo)
button2.pack()

check_t()

root.mainloop()

The above code will do exactly what you are trying to do without freezing the mainloop(). That said I really don't like using lots of global statements and prefer the OOP route. The below code is a reworked version of your code that is in OOP.
import tkinter as tk

class MyApp(tk.Tk):
    def __init__(self):
        tk.Tk.__init__(self)
        self.t = 1 # changed to lower case name as UPPER case is used for constants
        self.x = 0
        tk.Button(self, text="Print X", command=self.printx).pack()
        tk.Button(self, text="T = 0", command=self.teez).pack()
        tk.Button(self, text="T = 1", command=self.teeo).pack()
        self.check_t()

    def printx(self):
        print(self.x)

    def teez(self):
        self.t = 0

    def teeo(self):
        self.t = 1

    def check_t(self):
        if self.t == 1:
            self.x = 5
            self.after(1, self.check_t)
        else:
            self.x = 6
            self.after(1, self.check_t)

MyApp().mainloop()

Covid Scotland: John Swinney confident NHS services sustainable despite 'intense pressure'
The Scottish Government is confident that NHS services are sustainable despite the "intense pressure" faced, Deputy First Minister John Swinney has said.
By Elsa Maishman
Thursday, 13th January 2022, 12:05 pm
Speaking to the Scottish Parliament's Covid-19 Recovery Committee on Wednesday, Mr Swinney said the changes to self-isolation rules introduced last week are beginning to ease staffing pressures in health and social care.
The assurance comes as NHS staff absences have doubled since the end of December, to an average of more than 7,000 per day in the week to January 12.
Health boards across the country have said they are under severe pressure, with NHS Lanarkshire suspending all but the most urgent GP services for a month, and NHS Grampian warning it may declare a major incident before the end of the week.
Deputy First Minister John Swinney updates MSPs on any changes to the Covid-19 restrictions in the debating chamber of the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh. Picture date: Tuesday November 9, 2021.
Asked about existing pressures, Mr Swinney said: "There is a huge amount of pressure on NHS boards around the country. I think it would be fair to say that all boards are under intense pressure."
He said changes to testing arrangements and isolation periods introduced by the Government "will be beginning to have a welcome effect on easing some of those staffing pressures".
Mr Swinney said: "We are confident about the sustainability of NHS services at this moment, but I have to say that that is a constantly dynamic position … the individual hospitals will come under greater pressure as a consequence of incidents that take place and demand that presents itself."
He added: "At this stage I would say that the National Health Service in all parts of the country is coping, but it is coping under enormous pressure, and the headroom that's available to deal with increased demand is very, very limited."

Mr Swinney also faced questions over limited data on the distinction between hospitalisations "with" and "because of" Covid in Scotland.
According to recent analysis from Public Health Scotland based on a short period in two health boards, around 60 per cent of patients who test positive in hospital were admitted because of the virus.
National clinical director Professor Jason Leitch told the committee he does not know "what the fascination is" with this data, saying the discourse around it "speaks to a slight misunderstanding of how healthcare works".
"Healthcare is not a single disease," he said.
"The people in hospital with Covid who are in trouble don't just have Covid.
"They have diabetes, they have leukaemia, they're 87. There are all kinds of things going on.
"The death certificates often have five reasons for death, not one, and principal diagnosis versus secondary diagnosis is a matter of judgement at the time of death by the junior doctor who perhaps is filling in the death certificate."
Prof Leitch added: "There are very few people in who are having their leg fixed because they fell over on the ice who get a positive Covid test.
"There will be some, of course, but the vast majority getting care in our hospitals with a Covid test are getting it because they've got Covid, and they've got other things going on as well."
