Time Spent Driving ist eine 1999 gegründete, stark vom Indierock beeinflusste Emo-Band aus Santa Cruz, Kalifornien.

Geschichte
Die Gruppe wurde 1999 in Santa Cruz im US-amerikanischen Bundesstaat Kalifornien gegründet. Time Spent Driving unterschrieben bei Unfun Records, welche auch als Konzertmanagement für die Gruppe tätig wurde. Im November 2000 brachte die Band ihre EP Walls Between Us heraus. Kurz zuvor erschien bereits eine EP mit drei Stücken, wodurch das Label auf die Gruppe aufmerksam wurde.

Kurz nach dem Release der EP folgte eine Europatour unter anderem mit Auftritten in Deutschland. Begleitet wurde die Band dabei unter anderem von Favez und The Stereo. Die Gruppe unterschrieb bei Sessions Records, die die EP erneut mit anderem Artwork veröffentlichten. In Deutschland erschien die EP als Schallplatte über Chestnut Café Records im Januar 2002. Im Oktober und November 2001 tourte die Gruppe durch die USA mit Favez und Scott Ritcher. Über Doghouse Records erschien eine 3-way-Split mit den teilnehmenden Künstlern der Tour. Zuvor spielte Time Spent Driving lediglich entlang der Westküste.

Am 7. Mai 2002 erschien das Debütalbum Just Enough Bright über Sessions Records. Es wurde von J. Robbins produziert. Aufgenommen wurde das Album im Tiny Telephone in San Francisco. Die Gruppe tourte erneut entlang der Westküste um ihr Album zu promoten. Ein paar Stücke des Albums wurden auf nationaler Ebene von MTV bekannt gemacht. Im Jahr 2003 kündigte die Gruppe eine Auszeit auf unbekannter Länge an. 2005 kündigte die Band an sich aufzulösen. Zwischenzeitlich hatte die Gruppe sieben Stücke für ein zweites Album geschrieben. Dieses erschien im Juni 2007 über Lorelei Records. Es heißt I'm Your Stab in the Back. Die Musiker gaben bekannt, dass die Gruppe 2012 "wiederbelebt" würde. Das Comeback-Album, das den Namen Passed & Presence trägt, soll am 21. Juli 2015 über Cardigan Records erscheinen.

Derzeit besteht die Gruppe aus Jon Cattivera (Gesang, E-Gitarre), Jonas Davidson (E-Bass), Dustin Roth (Schlagzeug), David Cattivera (Piano, Keyboard) und Steve Borella (E-Gitarre)

The Top Ten: Questions Left Unanswered in "The Clone Wars"
deus ex machina, long rants, spontaneous expedient character defamation syndrome, star wars, the clone wars
I loved the show Star Wars: The Clone Wars as long as it lasted, but it has left me scarred for life… (Not as badly as Sherlock… though it was close!) Warning: here on out contains spoilers, so be forewarned.
Mainly, I'm scarred and upset because of the final arc of the fifth season, which was the last season to premiere on the air at all. I mean… Ahsoka leaving the Order. Tarkin. Padme's defense. Obi-Wan's (inexplicable and in my opinion, painfully out-of-character) silence. Palpatine being voiced by someone other than Ian Abercrombie. (What?!) And last but not least, Barriss Offee's betrayal.
This is pretty weighty stuff on its own. But taken together with the fact that other than the "bonus arcs" which constitute Season Six (The Lost Missions,) there is no more Clone Wars… It's crushing.
There is no more Obi-Wan and Anakin bantering every week on Friday nights. No more Ahsoka being her perky, cheeky, lovable self. No more Echo or Fives or Cody or Rex. And last but not least, Barriss is dead. (At least to me.)
Not only is a good thing gone–for good, we understand–but there are numerous questions left unanswered by this show. So, without further ado, I present the Top Ten Incomplete Stories of the Clone Wars!
10. The Zillo Beast. After all, Palpatine ordered it cloned, did he not? How did that go? Did he gain some more scars for his stupidity and just plain evilness? (I seriously hope so.)
9. Cut Lawquayne. What happens to him and his family? Are they ever discovered? I mean, after all, Order 66 would be a pretty rocky time for the Lawquaynes!
8. Lux Bonteri. We left him as the soon-to-be Senator of Onderon as it re-joined the Republic. Where has he gone?
7. The Younglings of the Gathering arc. What became of them? Surely they weren't all slaughtered in Order 66? But sadly, we will never know.
6. Mandalore, and Bo-Katan Kryze. What happened to them? Was Mandalore reclaimed by the pacifists, or at least by the Death Watch's more honorable contingent? Will Mandalore burn into a hollow shell and be left as a testament to the evil of the Dark Side and of the Clone Wars, or will it rise once more?
5. Darth Maul. What was his continued purpose in Palpatine's plan? (And why on earth has he not been completely slaughtered by Obi-Wan yet? Oh wait… that stupid hulk of a half-brother. *snorts*)
4. What about Mortis? I know the arc felt complete, but there are things that still confuse me, things that are left unexplained. (I think that "bringing balance to the Force" must not be what most people think, due to something the Father implied– that the Son was not always evil, and he had some modicum of control. Thus, bringing balance to the Force simply means the eradication of that evil–but apparently not since evil came back. So perhaps rather than restoring balance, Anakin was originally supposed to maintain it, to hold back the Dark Side a little longer? But no! He had to fall to the Dark Side and plunge the whole galaxy over the edge of a precipice for twenty years or so!)
3. Okay, so technically this is not a story that was left hanging, but I want to know more about Bail Organa.
2. What will Ahsoka do now? (If she doesn't turn up in Rebels, I don't think it'll be worth watching at all, unless I need something mindless to do in the evenings!)
1. This is so big it far out-shadows anything else on this list…. get ready…. take a deep breath…
HOW IN THE SCREAMING UNIVERSE DID BARRISS OFFEE (of all people!) TURN TO THE HOWLING, HELL-SPAWNED DARK SIDE!?
I honestly am so mad about this one, I swear it's like Dave Filoni finally cracked and sacrificed poor Barriss to his Deus Ex Machina. No offense, but it is a freaking Deus Ex Machina. No one foresaw it. Well, some people foresaw it, but they didn't show us or even hint that something was wrong with Barriss! And it was completely out of character for her! I mean, this is the girl I met in Weapons Factory. The first time, I thought she was a little cold. The second time I watched the episode, I loved her. And then when she was effectively possessed in Brain Invaders, I was so upset! And then, when the episode ended happily, I was so relieved. I never dreamed that maybe that worm might've planted something insidious in her head. After all, it was only controlling her. It wasn't actually a part of her! (Though, that would be an interesting theory, that Barriss thought that some of that evil was still in her and her, effectively, melodrama was what what made her turn. It would also tie in with the line from this episode: "Please, kill me." But that's another line of reasoning entirely.) I would like to point out that Barriss was nowhere near dark in these episodes. Yet, when we see her again, she's a full-on mass murderer!
What in the screaming Wild-blue-Space happened here?!
Does anyone else feel the way I do?
And… that must be the most (near) profanity I've used in my life. *is embarrassed* Get the feeling I'm annoyed, much?
(The only time I used more was when my dad had rearranged things in the closet and I opened the door and a heavy box fell out and landed on my foot… I said d**n. *blushes* But I think I might've been excused… the thing cut me! And it had BLUNT edges!)
Poor Barriss. She is officially the victim of SECDS. Spontaneous Character Defamation Syndrome.
A special pet peeve of mine is people who start stories like the Clone Wars and then, leave them hanging. It's so disappointing. And painful. And it's cruel of the author/director. (Author cruelty to characters is another thing entirely, but trust me, the Clone Wars has that too. Think of poor, innocent Barriss, sacrificed on the altar of expediency, and then also think of how many times Obi-Wan got injured/beaten up/tortured in the Clone Wars. Seriously, next to him, Anakin has it easy. I should think he needs to spend more energy on not getting into those messes in the first place than his wit!)
I'm sorry… it has not been my intent to overly criticize the writers or director of the Clone Wars… or Anakin, either… but I'm pretty annoyed with them all.
At least there's always the fan community.
So, anyway, please comment, thanks for reading, and God bless…. and please, God, give me the strength to forgive people who leave stories hanging like that.

Haha! I would excuse you for that.
Now, I'm surprised at your complaints. But I agree. Don't you think Maul is more powerful than Obi-Wan?
Yeah, that's one of my pet peeves… what is started MUST be finished.
Did you happen to see any Clone Wars episodes perchance, Professor?
Maul more powerful than Obi-Wan… perhaps. But when Obi-Wan's properly focused (when he's got control of himself after Maul's thrown Qui-Gon's death in his face which was so EVIL and squeeeee the look on Obi-Wan's face if looks could kill Maul would be smoking ashes by now!!!!) Obi-Wan is more directed than Maul, and besides, he's a Soresu master–nothing gets by him. He can wear Maul down, and then make the blow. It's not always power that tips the outcome. 😉
Incidentally, I need a name for Winter's mentor (who is somewhat reminiscent of Qui-Gon, only with a different hair cut. 😛 If this gets made into a movie and Liam Neeson plays the mentor character, I could probably die happy. I also want Martin Freeman to play the Rangers' leader… :-P)
Anyway… name ideas please???
That's true about power.
Well…should it be an earth-like name?
Well, not science fiction, anyway. "Normal" names are okay (ish.) Names with a background in mythology are awesome! It should be sort of fantasy because this is sort of fantasy. 😉
Ooo…let me see…how about Norm something?
Definitely NOT "Normal"! 😛
But "Norman" might work… hmm… 🙂
I like Norman.
So do I… but I'm not going to write it into the text until I get something that clicks…
How about Charlie Click?
Don't know who that is. :-S
It's a name suggestion.
Oh. *smacks self in head* Mmm… I don't think so. I don't think "Paul" will cut it either. Perhaps I should give him a really super-cool name in Shendi? That's my made-up language. In Shendi, Obi-Wan's name is Ae'enn Narshala… "wind-bound wanderer." Then there's a girl named Sharya, from shar'ya, "hope," and the skill name Amatane, which is a portmanteau of ama, "to cut off," tan'e, "to flow", and eltane, "to change (shape or appearance.)" I suppose that in the vernacular an Amatane Wielder could be said to channel others' power, to siphon it away, or to cut them off permanently from the ability to use magic. (Technically, Amatane should be pronounced Ama'tan'e, but it's been corrupted into a more Anglicized pronunciation over the years.) Then, there's Nagrai'eltane, plural Negrai'eltane, which comes from the same root "eltane", and literally means shape-changer.
That's so cool you have your own language, too. You've got a whole world, it sounds!
Yep… I sometimes speak it to myself. Which is pretty crazy when anyone else walks on when I'm talking to myself… it's been mistaken for Quenya, Sindarin, Latin (?!), and Mando'a at times. 😛
That is super, super, super cool! When is the book coming, Erin?
Book… I might post a page with Shendi translations, but it's actually not a single book. Shendi appears in almost every story I have written. Of course, it's a bit different each time (everyone speaks different dialects,) but I figure, why reinvent this when I already have it mostly at my fingertips? So, there's the "Tales of Teryen" stories (in progress,) "Angels' Reflections" (nearing completion,) Camelot Cycle (which is basically a retelling of the Arthurian legends and is in progress as well,) Unnamed (which takes place in its own little world, while all the others seem to be able to fit into one continuity; I still haven't been able to figure that one out,) "Ayn'neir" (which in Shendi means "time walker," "time wanderer," "time weaver": the Shendi words "neir" and "nar'shal" meaning traveler, questor, wanderer, artist… and being almost identical. "Neir" is considered archaic. "Ayn" is closely related to "ae'en" and "ae'en'na", meaning heaven, time, wind. In this case, the proper translation is time-wanderer.), which is, as you'd guess, a story about time traveling, and then there's Winter's story, which is not yet titled… And "Bound to the Flame," on this blog. I haven't actually been published anywhere yet… I hope I can sometime. Then I'd probably change the Bound to the Flame page to a teaser and keep the art gallery. 😉
It's only a matter of time before you get published, I think. It sounds coolio.
Thanks. 🙂 It's encouraging when people tell me that, even if it's not true. 😛
Hey, did I just quote Shnodgrate? 😛
Haha! I'm not sure! Did you?
It's possible, I suppose. ;-P
I can't believe I forgot to follow your blog before! I just kept forgetting to! 0_0
Haha! Don't worry about it. It's funny, but sometime that's the last thing one remembers to do!
True. 😛
Screaming blue Wild Space… heh heh heh.
I felt like swearing. *blushes*
Nah, it's just it's like Steujan – I love it when my little vocabulary quirks wind up contagious.
Ah. 😛

Wow. I've thought a lot about how hard it must've been for all those loyal fans of TCW when the show ended out of the blue like that….we only just watched through it recently, and until recently I just didn't like it at all (for various reasons, some of which still hold some wait and some of which are just ridiculously petty) (and I still like Rebels a tad better.) But even still, I just felt so sad realizing what all those fans who watched it while it was on air must have felt, and realizing that so many of their stories may STILL never be completely finished. Like Echo! What happened to him after that mission on Utapua??!! Did the tell him about Fives?? Did he remove his chip too??? Did he die in Order 66, or did he join the Rebellion????!
And I want to know more about Lux, too!! I wonder if he kept in touch with Saw…
At least we're gonna get some answers to all the Mandalore and Bo-Katan questions real soon!! Eeep, I just can't wait for SWR season 4!!
Speaking of which, my friend has Netflix now, so I might as well watch the Lost Missions…
I've seen the Lost Missions, and they're fantastic! Yoda's Quest is really enlightening into how the Force works in the whole 'life after death" aspect. It still has me wondering about how it could all play into the sequels and any other future stories.
I'm afraid that even if canon contradicts, I will remain stubbornly attached to my headcanons… case in point: Ender's Game and sequels, specifically about Jane's origin.
I haven't read/watched Ender's Game yet…is it a good read? (I like to read the books before watching the movies. One of those homeschooling things I guess, lol. :D)
Oh yeah, and since I was first talking about the clones…I was talking to a friend recently, and he's pretty sure Echo was right there with Anakin when they marched on the Jedi Temple. I got tears in my eyes as soon as I read it…
Oh, yes, definitely a good read. 😀
Actually, I'm pretty sure that Echo and Fives both were taken out of the narrative, by being killed off or otherwise removed, before the Temple was attacked. I think one of them went missing in action and the other was killed by the Kaminoans because the control chip in his brain was defective.
Ok, I'll have to check it out! 😀
Yes, poor Fives….I really hate Palpatine…. 😥 (and I do get that these are all fictional characters, but still…) (And actually it was Tup who died because of the defective chip; Fives is the one who uncovered the conspiracy and true purpose behind the chips, but was killed becuase Palpatine didn't want the word getting out and everyone thought Fives had gone psycho.)
But Echo! He's got a whole other story after he goes MIA that most people don't know about! StarWars.com released the early animation reels for a Clone Wars arc they never finished, but was totally voiced and had the score added and everything. Since the show was cancelled they were unable to totally finish and release them, but a couple of years ago they confirmed them as canon and released them to the official SW website. And it was all about Echo!! Rex and several others managed to infiltrate a Separatist outpost, and while there he found a signal that was a human voice repeating Echo's birth number over and over. He became convinced that it truly was Echo, still alive and in Separatist imprisonment, so he led a rescue mission to bring him home. It was an incredible story, even though the graphics are pretty awful. You really ought to check it out!! 😀 (if you're interested, here's the link: http://www.starwars.com/tv-shows/the-clone-wars-legacy The ones about Echo are the 4 in the "Bad Batch" storyline.)
Wow. I'll have to check that out! It sounds really cool.

Wall Street Tells Viacom: Turn Off the Nickelodeon Netflix Stream
Rich Smith, AOL.com
May 3rd 2012 1:35PM
If Viacom (VIAB) has a claim to fame among the pre-high-school set, its name is Nickelodeon. Home to kiddie staples ranging from Dora the Explorer to SpongeBob SquarePants to iCarly, the Nickelodeon network is "top-rated" among kids, Viacom boasts. So why is CEO Philippe Dauman nervous about his ratings?
One word: Netflix (NFLX).
Popular as children's television is on ... well, television, it's pretty popular on this purveyor of video over the Net as well. So much so that analysts are starting to wonder if kids might prefer to watch their favorite shows on Netflix -- what they want, when they want it -- rather than tuning in to Nick to see what Viacom might be showing at any given hour.
Asked whether such a trend might explain Nickelodeon's slipping ratings back in February, Dauman demurred, blaming deficiencies in Nielsen's methodology in calculating viewership instead. He even went so far as to declare: "We don't think that the availability of the limited amount of Nick library content on Netflix ... has had a significant impact."
But doth Dauman, perhaps, protest too much?
Wall Street Weighs In
A few days ago, Bernstein Research suggested this may be the case. According to Bernstein, allowing Nick programming to be distributed on Netflix really is having a "direct, measurable impact" (and not the good kind) on the live TV ratings of Viacom. It's preventing Cartoon Network parent Time Warner (TWX) and Walt Disney (DIS) from garnering as many TV viewers as they might have, had Netflix never been invented. Bernstein argues that the networks should probably pull their programming from Netflix sooner rather than later if they want to hold on to their viewership... and their profitable television commercial revenue.
Not just "should," but "will." Indeed, Bernstein warns that unless the networks "pull their premium kids' programming from Netflix asap," it may "be too late."
Yes, you read that right. Viacom and its fellow cartoonists have created shows that kids love. They've built out their brand, created fan loyalty, encouraged viewers to seek out their content in multiple places, and given them an easy way to do it. They've been wildly successful at this.
Streaming with the Enemy: Viacom and Google's Love-Hate Story
7 Things We Learned From Netflix's Quarterly Report
Why Netflix Will Never Be Great Again
But according to Wall Street, once you've created a kids' show and it proves to be wildly popular, first on your own network and then later on Netflix, the correct response is to yank it off Netflix. To not give the consumers what they want. To instead take away what they want and force them to accept what you choose to give them, when you want to give it to them, in predetermined time slots. Or else your network dies.
Stream No Evil
Balderdash. This makes no sense. The truth is that Nickelodeon is not dying on television. It can't die. If it did, there would be no one making the programming in the first place for Netflix to restream it later. The truth is that producing new content for television, then reselling and re-reselling it via Netflix and other media, helps to reinforce consumption of these shows multiple times.
It's cross-promotion like this that encourages viewers to seek out new episodes on "live" TV, and to seek out old favorites on Netflix. It's the media equivalent of building a Starbucks on every street corner, and when you run out of street corners, "opening new Starbucks in the restrooms of existing Starbucks" (as the joke used to go). Saturation. Domination. Profit!
Rather than pull its content from Netflix (which, Bernstein warns Netflix shareholders, will hurt their company's subscriber growth), Viacom and its peers should make the more logical choice: Viewers want to watch more content on Netflix? Fine. Point this out to Netflix. Point out how valuable access to Nickelodeon content has become to Netflix's subscription base, and charge more for it!
It's really as simple as that, folks. Give the people what they want. Charge what the market will bear. Lather, rinse, and repeat.
Motley Fool contributor Rich Smith holds no position in any company mentioned. The Motley Fool owns shares of Walt Disney and Starbucks. Motley Fool newsletter services have recommended buying shares of Walt Disney, Starbucks, and Netflix, as well as writing covered calls on Starbucks.

Electrostatic Technology for Surface Disinfection in Healthcare Facilities
Studies have shown that less than 50% of environmental surfaces in patient care rooms are properly cleaned and disinfected. Evidence strongly suggests that cross contamination of microorganisms from environmental surfaces is directly related to patient infections. High-touch surfaces such as bed rails, bed surfaces, tables, fluid poles, doorknobs, and supply carts have all been identified as having the greatest potential for transmission of pathogens. Current cleaning/disinfecting methods and procedures are critical to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases, yet, nearly 100,000 people will die this year directly attributable to HAIs. Electrostatically applied disinfectant may assist in the battle against preventable infections, improve patient experience, while increasing hospital revenues.
Main Article:
One out of every 25 patients who are admitted to a hospital will contract a preventable healthcare-acquired infection (HAI). According to a 2002 study, approximately 1.7 million HAIs occur in U.S. acute care hospitals each year, resulting in 99,000 deaths at a total direct, indirect and nonmedical social cost estimate of $96-147 billion per year.1,2 Study estimates did not include the more than 26,000 U.S. facilities such as ambulatory surgical centers, skilled nursing, long-term acute care, hospice, or dialysis centers. Obviously these HAI statistics are dated and may be vastly underestimated. In April 2016, the CDC approximated that the actual number of deaths from sepsis were as much as 140% higher than those recorded on death certificates, or as many as 381,000 deaths a year. Sepsis is just one subgroup of the infections.3 Healthcare-acquired infections continue to occur at alarming rates in U.S. hospitals and represent a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. HAIs have a devastating impact on people's lives, the national economy, hospital reputations and financial sustainability.4
STUDIES HAVE INDICATED THAT INADEQUATE CLEANING AND DISINFECTING OF SURFACES IS WIDESPREAD
The physical environment is an important link in the chain of infection prevention and control. Contaminated environmental surfaces provide an important potential source for transmission of healthcare-associated pathogens.5 Cleaning and disinfecting of environmental surfaces in healthcare facilities is fundamental in healthcare facilities.6 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Guidelines recommend that hospitals clean and disinfect all "high-touch surfaces."7 High-touch surfaces include: bed rails, bed surfaces, supply carts, over-bed tables and intravenous pumps.8 Experts agree that monitoring terminal room cleaning and disinfecting practices in healthcare facilities is an important element of infection control programs.9 Still, studies have indicated that inadequate cleaning and disinfecting of surfaces is widespread with housekeeping wiping only 50% of surfaces targeted for cleaning.10,11,12
One way to break the chain of infection includes the use of innovative technology such as the application of EPA-registered disinfectants using electrostatic systems. As compared to traditional spray-and-wipe, fogging, and UV lighting, electrostatic disinfection application systems present a complementary and cost effective approach to healthcare facility environmental surface disinfection methods. Electrostatic spraying has been used in the agricultural and automobile industry for decades. In effect, a spray gun modified with an electrode charges the liquid particles, which are then guided to an oppositely charged target. Based on Coulomb's law, an electrostatic disinfectant application system applies disinfectant more evenly to all surfaces. Coulomb's law states that the magnitude of the electrostatic force of interaction between two point charges is directly proportional to the scalar multiplication of the square of the distance between them. The force is along the straight line joining them.13
Electrostatics is a proven technology in the agricultural and automotive industries. This technology is now being integrated into healthcare settings as a tool to break the chain of pathogen mobility.14 As an example, Creative Solutions in Healthcare owns and operates 46 skilled nursing and 13 assisted living facilities throughout the state of Texas. This top-50 ranked long-term care facility company uses electrostatic application technology in their efforts to prevent the transmission of dangerous pathogens. According to Gary Blake, President of Creative Solutions, this technology "has proven to be far more cost-effective than we ever dreamed possible. There's a huge chemical cost savings, our employees are healthier – they're staying at work, so our overtime is down in many markets during flu season. Our residents are returning home sooner from their rehab stays with us instead of going back into the hospital, and that's gotten the attention of our managed-care insurance companies and even from Medicare."
Most surface areas are neutral (uncharged) or negative. Electrostatic application for healthcare surface disinfection is a method of applying an EPA-registered disinfectant to a target surface area using electrostatic force of attraction. Using Coulomb's law, these systems place a positive or negative charge on the chemical disinfectant as it leaves the spray nozzle.15,16 Because most surface areas are neutral or negative, a positively charged electrostatic spray application system optimizes adhesion and attraction (electromagnetic theory17). The dispersed droplets spread out more evenly and seek out the negative (-) or neutrally charged surface (neutral surfaces have the same number of protons as electrons – a neutral object can be polarized by a charged object and create attraction). The disinfectant is more targeted, provides more consistent coverage with less waste, and like two magnets, attracted to the oppositely charged surface with remarkable force.
PATHOGENS CAN SURVIVE ON SURFACES FOR MONTHS
Most common nosocomial pathogens can survive on surfaces for months18. These deadly bugs can become a continuous source of transmission. As such, regular, preventative surface disinfection is recommended. Wiping hard surfaces with contaminated cloths can contaminate hands, equipment, and other surfaces.19 Those involved in the prevention and control of infections require a balanced approach of cost and quality to improve outcomes. Existing healthcare disinfection methods including wipes, spray and wipe, fogging, and UV lighting all have their place in a multimodal IPC program, but may be ineffective or cost prohibitive for routine or comprehensive use. As environmental surface contamination and healthcare-acquired infections have become more defined, electrostatic disinfection application systems present a viable and cost effective tool in the environmental surface disinfection arsenal.
The battle against nosocomial pathogens is costly. This has become even more pronounced in light of the Hospital Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) Program. VBP rewards or penalizes hospitals based on degrees of care quality. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) bases hospital performance on an approved set of measures and dimensions grouped into specific quality domains.20 For 2017, The CMS has created a new safety domain that primarily measures infection rates. Yet, most infection prevention and environmental surface teams continue to use antiquated or cost prohibitive disinfection methods including labor-intensive hand-wiping or UV lighting.
As presented, research studies have shown that environmental cleaning and disinfection play important roles in the prevention and control of healthcare-acquired infections. Though prevalent and widely used in other industries, electrostatic technology is now being adopted in the application of disinfectants. This new, innovative technology may assist in the battle against preventable infections, improve patient experience, while also increasing hospital revenues.

Hilton's Curio Collection Expands in Mexico
Hilton's fast-growing Curio Collection brand has added a new hotel in Mexico, the company announced this week.
The new Umbral, Curio Collection by Hilton has officially opened its doors in Mexico City.
The 59-room boutique hotel is the product of a restoration of an historic building that was first built in 1924.
The company said the Curio opening reinforced "the growth of its portfolio of one-of-a-kind hotels and resorts in premier destinations across the Caribbean and Latin America."
"As we continue to strategically expand our presence across Latin America, Mexico remains a priority as one of our fastest growing markets in the region," said Jorge Giannattasio, senior vice president and head of operations, Caribbean and Latin America, Hilton. "The opening of the distinguished Umbral, Curio Collection by Hilton reinforces our mission to be the world's most hospitable company throughout this incredible country, in the light of our 100thAnniversary."
Amenities at the property range from a "sound library," a cinema, the inclusion of more than 100 pieces of art by local artists like Jorge Montiel and Andre Vores, and a rooftop terrace with a heated pool, among others.
Mexico City has continued to remain a focus in our brand's expansion to destinations where today's travelers want to go," said Mark Nogal, global head, Curio Collection by Hilton. "We look forward to introducing travelers to our unexpected and authentic Curio Collection experiences that truly embody the local culture, while we also prepare for the opening of our second in-market property with Hotel Lafontaine later this year."

EXCLUSIVE: In-demand Sheffield Wednesday star to pen new deal
Date published: Wednesday 29th August 2018 8:38 - Rob McCarthy
Sheffield Wednesday are set to fend off interest in midfield star Barry Bannan by agreeing a new long-term deal with the player, we can reveal.
The Scotland international has become a firm fans' favourite at Hillsborough since joining the club from Crystal Palace in 2015.
Bannan has gone on to make over 100 first-team appearances for the Owls, but he has been attracting from some Championship rivals.
However, we can reveal that the 28-year-old – who has 12-months left on his current deal – is close to agreeing new terms to extend his stay at Hillsborough.
Wednesday have made an inconsistent start to the new season and currently sit 14th in the Championship, while they also suffered a second-round defeat to Wolves in the EFL Cup on Tuesday night.

Just a little teaser of what's to come.
Nice use of the K-touch from Decade. Decade was my first Kamen Rider series I got into, but I recently got into Den-O and finished that up.
My main critique for your video though, is that you threw in a bunch of time traveling geeky franchises in the beginning, "Den-O's, Time Rangers, Time Lords and McFly's", but in Kamen Rider Den-O they don't call themselves Den-O's.
Well, for one throwing them all in kinda makes sense when you look at the meaning of Æon (s'all time-related, to save you the *ahem* time ), and in Den-O they may not call 'themselves' Den-O's but there's been multiple to take the name of Den-O (Den-O, Nega Den-O, Cho Den-O, Den-O G).


Chegg is one of the more popular book rental sites out there. Students can rent or buy textbooks in a variety of different states, from used and torn to perfectly new. The site also buys unwanted textbooks from students and claims to pay some of the best prices out there for used titles. Chegg has also expanded to offer course reviews, grade distributions and homework help to all students.
BookRenter was founded by college student, Colin Barceloux, who was disturbed by the high cost of textbooks and the fact that they would so quickly lose their value after the initial purchase. While working as a mailman on campus to earn extra money, he noticed huge amounts of books left behind by students or marked as without value by the school library. He began to collect and sell them online. Realizing that buying and selling books online, term by term, was equivalent to renting books, he soon came up with the idea to start a book rental company.
Ecampus is a very well-streamlined site for book rental. Students can rent books, get them directly delivered, and then return or sell them once their rental period ends. Students can also sell their own textbooks to Ecampus and get paid instantly via direct deposit.
All you need to do is choose an item, input how long you will need it, and then check out. The site provides different rental periods that coincide with most school schedules. To return a book, you simply log into your account, print out the shipping labels provided by the site and drop off the books at a UPS location. Users can choose between used and new textbooks. They can also sell the book after they use it, if they decide not to do an exchange and pocket the cash.

It's good to know that there are many websites now that offer students the chance to get their textbooks cheaper than when they buy it from their university bookstores. Students now have many options than ever and that's exactly what we're trying to see here for more years to come. - Jules of BookGator.

    hi

A: Because you add
 tag inside . so move it outside  then it works.

A: You placed a extra hr inside .navbar. I removed it. You have a border-bottom for .navbar so you don't need to hr. Also, justify-items isn't a correct style.

Beth Springer, Executive VP at The Clorox Company gave a high-energy, information dense presentation about how a nearly 100 year old company took the road towards sustainability. Beth followed on the heels of Joe Laur, an author and sustainability consultant, who talked about breaking down patterns — and recognizing new ones — in large organizations. The two complemented each other beautifully.
Beth certainly didn't dumb things down, and she was frank about where Clorox has not met its goals in terms of greening and sustainability — all of which contributed to the power of her presentation, by outlining just how difficult and deep-reaching sustainability initiatives must be, especially for established corporations.
The most important take-away from Springer's talk? Probably that change must be sustained and systemic. Take your time, plan, plan some more, set achievable goals — then take action.

Would you recommend your add-on to deal with large tables (>5000 rows)? I am trying to decide between a simple filter table function, or a mysql database connection. Our usage of our large table is mostly viewing and adding rows, so features such as data charting, pivot tables, and joining multiple tables (in mysql) would not have added value for our purposes.
Table Filter add-on should work with large tables. If you encounter an issue, contact StiltSoft support.

Micky Moore returns to Stags
Micky Moore has officially re-joined us this morning in the role of first team coach, we are pleased to announce.
The 40-year-old has left his post as assistant manager of Nuneaton Town, where he has helped guide the club to fifth in the Conference Premier division.
The ex-Solihull Moors boss played a key role as Paul Cox's number two in the 2011-12 Conference Premier season, when our team finished third in the league, and was defeated only five times throughout that campaign.
On returning to One Call Stadium, Micky told www.mansfieldtown.net: "I'm glad to be back. Mansfield is a fantastic club with a fantastic set of supporters and chairman, who has a long-term vision of success. I want to be a part of history at Mansfield Town and help take the club forward. I am coming here to enhance the coaching staff and to help the manager.
"I leave Nuneaton Town in fifth position in the Conference Premier, the highest ranked part-time club in English football, who have been defeated on only five occasions this season. I am pleased with my efforts at Nuneaton - they are an excellent club. But this is a new project for me and one which I am very much looking forward to."

left            center         right
and here's how it looks right now:
left
                 center
                                right
I tried using display: inline-block; but it doesn't seem to help.
Using display: block; aligns it nicely, although vertically - I need it done horizontally.
<!DOCTYPE html>

<title>ICE CUBE</title>

    cube

How it looks:

How it should look:

A: div elements are display: block by default, so they trigger new lines.
Remove the div elements. You appear to be only using them for the align attribute which was superceeded by CSS in 1996.
To align the iframe elements, put them in a display: flex container with justify-content: space-between.

div {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: space-between
}

A: Instead of display block, you can use display flex.
Try this:

<!DOCTYPE html>

    <title>ICE CUBE</title>

            cube
