Q: Unable to create powershell script to run DNN scheduled task on Azure I am trying to run a powershell script on an azure machine to update the scheduler of a DNN task.
The below compiles fine however when I run it I get the error
Exception calling "RunSchedulex" with "0" argument(s): "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
There is no arguments it should be taking. Does anyone know what I need to do to get this to work. (or if i am even going about the entire problem the right way?)

Organisations should prepare for the increased threat of targeted cyber-attacks in 2015 by reviewing their security polices in alignment with the government's Cyber Essentials Scheme (CES). This is the advice from Peter Groucutt, managing director of Databarracks.
2014 saw a surge in cyber security threats such as the CryptoLocker ransomware and Keyloggers, and forced UK organisations to sit up and take note of the very real threat posed by cyber crime. But research from Databarracks, as part of its annual Data Health Check survey, has revealed that, from a sample of over 400 IT decision makers, only 29 per cent have reviewed their security polices in response to cyber threats over the past 12 months.
The findings from the survey support the views of industry professionals, which predicts that targeted cyber-attacks are set to go mainstream in 2015, due to the increasingly sophisticated methods of cyber-criminals, as well as the availability of tools and equipment.
"This year the threat posed by cyber-criminals has really made its presence felt. Attacks such as CryptoLocker weren't just consigned to industry chatter – they were very much felt by organisations of all sizes and sectors, and documented heavily in mainstream media. According to this latest research, this is set to continue well into 2015.
"Worryingly, in response to the cyber threats in the last 12 months, over half of the respondents to our survey (58 per cent) either hadn't made changes to their security policies, or they hadn't reviewed them at all. The growing risk of a cyber-attack means we all need to be prepared. Organisations of all sizes need practical advice on how to stay protected.
"CES was created by the government to do exactly that. The scheme aims to provide clear guidance and practical advice for firms looking to improve their cyber security practices, whether they're taking their first steps into cyber security or looking to improve existing processes. It solves an issue for SMEs in particular, who may not have any dedicated in-house IT staff responsible for cyber-security.
"The scheme was mandated earlier in the year for any supplier bidding for public sector contracts, and as awareness grows we expect it to be embraced by firms across all sectors. We were one of the first providers to become certified to CES Plus, so we know how helpful the process is and the improvements it can make.


Cut stems off bottom of artichokes; peel and save. Pound bottom of each artichoke on table (not so hard that they squash) two or three times to open leaves. Cut off points of artichokes and snip side points with scissors.
Cut garlic into a total of 20 pieces. Punch (with finger or end of wooden spoon) one piece of garlic down into center of each artichoke (You may have to separate the leaves a bit with your fingers) and three more pieces between outside leaves.
Cut stems in two and stuff one down each center like garlic and parsley. If stems are too long, cut off part.
Place artichokes in a pot so they gently touch the sides and each other. Be careful not to pour water into artiichokes; pour enough into pot to reach half way up the sides of the artichokes. Add three or four tablespoons olive oil, basil and oregano to water.
Add an additional tablespoon of olive oil to center of each artichoke. Season with salt and pepper.
Cover pot and cook over high heat until boiling; reduce heat to simmer. Simmer 45 minutes to one hour until a center leaf removes easily. Do not overcook. Drain and reserve liquid.
Serve at room temperature or chill overnight and bring to room temperature before serving.

When it comes to weight, calories are often talked about but frequently misunderstood. Indeed, whether counting calories is actually useful for weight loss is debatable. Read on to learn about calories and their role in weight regulation on low-carb and keto diets.

We should begin by saying that there are very few resources in the world as useful as google.com. In fact, the act of searching the Internet is now the verb "google". With that kind of success, it isn't a surprise that people could get a little frustrated when they "google" a query only to not get the results they were expecting. This scenario is exactly why you should learn that there are search commands that you can make inside of Google search to help you get the results you are looking for. Today, we will look at a few ways that you can get the search result you are after, not the one corporations pay a pretty penny to give you.
Depending on your search query, you may want to get an image, or a video, or some news. Google provides this functionality on every search results page. There are tabs for images, news, videos, maps, shopping, books, flights, and finance. By selecting these options, you will get results that are more in line with what you wanted your query to return.
If you are searching for something specific, using quotes can help you minimize the amount of results returned that don't exactly match your search query.
By putting your search parameters in quotes, it searches the term or phrase exactly as you typed it rather than using the keywords in any order. This can return more specific information.
Lots of words in English have multiple meanings. If you find yourself entering a search query that you know will return ambiguous results because the term has multiple meanings, try searching the term, add a space, and then subtract the meanings you don't want to see.
By removing the topic of one of the homonyms from the equation, you will get more targeted and accurate results.
If you know what you are looking for, but need to quickly find something on a specific website, using Google to find it is simple. All you have to do is type in the keywords you want to search followed by a space, the command "site:", and the website.
By adding the specific keyword you want to see and the site you want to search, Google will return some extremely specific search results.
Google knows way more than you think about you. One thing that Google typically understands is where you are, which means you can literally use Google to find any location in the world, or down the street.
By searching for anything you need, you can get a list of local services, restaurants, and other locations; and, the directions to get there.
We've all had it ingrained in our brains to avoid clicking ads on the Internet, but Google has a very complex vetting process when it delivers ads based on your search. Businesses pay for these ads and choose the destination, but Google's bots are always checking to make sure the pages the ads lead to are relevant. Ads that are misleading or lead to dangerous or questionable content get blocked from the system quickly. Sometimes you might find a good product or service that you may not have ran across organically.
Knowing how to use Google search properly will be of great benefit for almost any person that utilizes the world's' most popular site. For more great tips and tricks, visit our website regularly and be sure to subscribe to our blog.

Meghan Markle has given powerful speeches and has laughed uncontrollably over a song about mosquito's during her 16 day tour with her husband Prince Harry. Most recently the Duchess took time out to comfort a crying fan, and we just gained even more respect for her.
Markle and Prince Harry landed in New Zealand on Sunday, and their first visit was to the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior at the Pukeahu National War Memorial. There they were met with a crowd of fans to greet. While meeting with the large crowd, Meghan took notice to a teenage girl sobbing, who she reportedly spent "quite a while" talking to.
Markle taking the time out to chat with a crying fan is such a kind act — an act that is admired. "One of the sweetest moments on the #royaltour so far!" tweeted reporter Natalie Oliveri.

What The Hell Is This?
Day 381: The Big Box Of Juke – 80s Edition
Posted on August 8, 2019 by Marty
Last night I fell asleep with a song in my head. This morning, the bridge of that song – essentially the same lyric and countermelody, repeated over and over again at a gradually increasing tempo – haunted the crusty innards of my brain. It's a great song, but any tune that farts its way into an endless mental loop can grow to be annoying. In order to exact some measure of revenge (a concept I've clearly been having trouble defining in any logical context lately), I've decided the song, along with some of its contemporaries, will be granted squatter's rights on today's article.
Good luck to anyone with a weakness for catchy 80's pop. Please feel free to pick out the tune that will drive you crazy for the next hour. I apologize for nothing.
"Poor old Johnnie Ray…" I thought the first line of "Come On Eileen" by Dexy's Midnight Runners was about a friend of the singer's. Maybe one of those guys dancing behind him, wearing overalls and no shirt. Turns out Johnnie Ray was a 50's-era singer who used to fall to his knees and cry/sing as part of his act.
As for Eileen, the irrefutably cute actress in the video is Máire Fahey, sister of Siobhan Fahey, co-founder of Bananarama and Shakespeare's Sister. Wikipedia also informs me that the corner where the video was shot can be seen on Google Maps.
Wikipedia doesn't lie. Not sure if that counts as a tourist attraction, though.
Cyndi Lauper's hit "Time After Time" is another one that crams itself into the darkest recesses of my think-meat from time to time, punishing me with its fluffy synth and curiously erotic sadness. The song was co-written by Rob Hyman of the Philadelphia band The Hooters.
Here's something I didn't know. Lou Albano, the WWF wrestler who appeared as Lauper's on-screen dad in the "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" video (and as a cook in the video for this song) played Mario in the Super Mario Brothers Super Show!, a phenomenon I didn't even know existed. Not the look I would have picked for a live-action Mario.
Looking for something else to reverberate around your inner ear until the next time you can get to Youtube and crank up Rebecca Black's "Friday" just to rid the demon from your midst? How about something from this guy:
If you grew up watching movies in the 80's, then this guy overloaded you with poignant synth stabs and musical bleeps in the score to your childhood viewing hours. He pieced together the score to Fletch, Tango & Cash, The Running Man, Top Gun, and of course Beverly Hills Cop. I call him Harold "the reason all those movies sound incredibly dated now" Faltermeyer.
"Axel F" was originally known as "The Banana Song" because it was only meant to be featured in the scene where Eddie Murphy sticks a banana in the tailpipe of a police car. Director Martin Brest must have loved the tune, because he chose to smatter it all over the movie. Faltermeyer's "Top Gun Anthem" won him a Grammy, though I think it's a safe bet that people bought that soundtrack for Kenny Loggins' "Danger Zone" or that obnoxious Berlin song.
Perhaps the most memorable part of Twisted Sister's video for "We're Not Gonna Take It" (apart from the nightmares inspired by Dee Snyder) is the appearance of actor Mark Metcalf, reprising his smarminess and even a line of dialogue from his role as Douglas Neidermeyer in Animal House. The depiction of the wholesome family getting overrun by a rebellious teen and his demon-clown friend angered some members of the public, including future Second Lady, Tipper Gore.
The story of Tipper's descent into the censorship cesspool is well-documented: she helped to form the Parents Music Resource, slapped 'explicit lyrics' labels on all potentially offensive CDs and cassettes, and we all lived happily and holily ever after.
A parody of the chorus of the song was used in a Spanish ad for Primavera, with the line "Huevos con aceite, oh no, ya no queremos, ahora con Primavera, desayunaran." According to Google Translate, that literally means "Eggs with oil, oh no, we do not want, now with Spring, have breakfast." Yum!
Does that photo disturb you? Okay, does it disturb you when I mention that it's the same guy as this?
Pete Burns, the lead singer of Dead Or Alive, whose song "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)" is now free to enter your brain and beat upon it from the hippocampus outward, has led quite a life. He executed a curious stint on England's Celebrity Big Brother 2006, getting into trouble when he claimed that the coat he wore was made from genuine gorilla. Police confiscated it and tested it – you need a license to wear gorilla fur in the UK, apparently.
Fortunately, it tested negative for gorilla. It did, however, test positive for being made out of colobus monkeys, also an endangered species. The real big news was when Burns announced he had spent most of his Dead Or Alive money on reconstructive surgery after a horrific blunder while he was having polyacrylamide injections jabbed into his lips. Beauty – or whatever – comes at a price.
Herbie Hancock is best known for his impressive tenure with the Miles Davis Quintet, a pocket-rattling collaboration with the Headhunters and his funktabulous Fat Albert Afro-jazz fusion. For a Canadian white kid raised on pop music in 1983, he was known for "Rockit."
As a jazz song, "Rockit" isn't great. It's simple, heavily produced, and hangs on its riff for dear life. But as a pop song, or as a preliminary showpiece for urban electronica, it's fantastic. GrandMaster D.ST is the guy responsible for the turntable scratching – the first time that was ever done on a pop single. The song sounds like nothing else from '83; in fact, it would be years before pop music caught up Hancock's sound on that 45. Unfortunately, pop music would also deteriorate into a lesser form of push-button pap by then too, but that's my emerging old-man-speak, and I'd never think to blame Herbie for all the crap that followed him.
The video for "Rockit" was also unlike anything else, spooking children all over with its robotic limbs and dead-eye faces. It was directed by the musical duo Godley & Crème (whose "Cry" video is another one of the great 80's visual masterpieces). The frames of the video were edited to sync up with the record scratches in the song, creating a completely integrated experience.
Okay, I'm happy ending the article with this one. I can live with this song in my head for the rest of the day; nine hours of Dexy's Midnight Runners was too much. Dammit, I shouldn't have mentioned them again…
…shit. Too-ra-loo-rye-aye!!!

Scientists track mysterious 'wobble' moving around Mars' poles
in Special, Technology
SunstarTV Bureau: The journal Geophysical Research Letters confirmed that a mysterious wobble has spotted which one is moving around the Mars' poles, and the astronomers are yet to know why it is moving.
As the second known planet in the universe, Mars planet to exhibit this phenomenon – called as the Chandler wobble, with earth being the first, stated the American Geophysical Union's (AGU) on its blog.
According to researchers statement, in a study published Oct. 13, 2020, the poles of Mars wondering ever-so-slightly away from the planet's axis of rotation, moving about 4 inches off center every 200 days.
Notably, the wobble has named for astronomer Seth Carlo Chandler, who discovered the phenomenon more than a century ago which is an effect seen in planets that aren't perfectly round.
According to Eos, this wobble has negligible effect on earth, , but still presents a puzzle. Scientists have calculated that the wobble should naturally die down within a century of its origin, but earth's current wobble has been going strong for much longer than that. Something perhaps a combination of pressure changes in the atmosphere and oceans, one 2001 study proposed seems to be perpetually reigniting the wobble, though the exact mechanism is still unknown.
The Mars wobble is just as puzzling. The authors of the new study detected the wobble using 18 years of data collected by three satellites orbiting the Red Planet: Mars Odyssey, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and Mars Global Surveyor. This small shift in the Martian poles should also resolve itself naturally, the team calculated, but currently appears to be going strong.
Devoid of oceans, Mars and its wobbly rotation may be governed by atmospheric pressure changes alone, according to Eos, but further study of our tipsy neighbor is required to know for sure.

Top Ten Stories of 2015 in New York Politics
December 28, 2015 | by Ben Max
Mayor de Blasio (photo: Rob Bennett/Mayoral Photography Office)
Gotham Gazette's top ten storylines of New York politics in 2015:
10. Big State Money Matters
In 2015, New York banned fracking, made plans for three new casinos, and gave away more big bucks toward economic development in areas of the state struggling to create jobs. Governor Andrew Cuomo was loved by environmental activists for the fracking ban, but criticized by those that look to fracking for economic stimulation, which is at the heart of the move toward casinos and state development grants.
9. Housing New Yorkers
Mayor de Blasio continues to struggle with New York City's homelessness crisis while he pushes forward with his ambitious and in some respects controversial affordable housing plans.
De Blasio is undergoing a shake-up in his administration in terms of leadership on the homelessness issue, all while Gov. Cuomo promises state-led fixes come January. De Blasio is pushing forward not only programs in place to prevent people from losing their homes and to get people out of shelter and into permanent housing, but also to mitigate a street homelessness issue that became a major political problem for the mayor. And, he's moving on his rezoning proposals, which have met quite a bit of community pushback, that are key to his affordable housing plan of building or preserving 200,000 units over ten years.
8. Education Debates Continue
The Common Core continues to stir controversy and is under review yet again - just like the standardized tests tied to the learning standards and their role in measuring student, teacher, and school progress. A big 2015 opt-out movement pushed the issue further. Teacher evaluation policies continue to shift as the weight of those tests is likely to be reduced after having been increased just a few months ago.
The battle over charter schools is largely settled, at least for now, strange as it is to say. Charters have been protected by Cuomo and state policy, and de Blasio has largely put down his sword, knowing that he has other dragons to slay. Charter advocates say they don't plan to hold big rallies in 2016 and Eva Moskowitz says she isn't running for mayor in 2017.
Mayor de Blasio's pre-kindergarten program has gotten off to a truly impressive start and he's dedicating increasing resources to schools serving the most disadvantaged students. But, as de Blasio and his schools chancellor, Carmen Farina, continue to implement their vision, questions have arisen: are they turning around struggling schools? Do they need more time or do they just not get it? They promise progress through more resources, community schools, tough love, and personnel reshuffling when necessary.
With the legislature, Gov. Cuomo signed off on just one-year extension to mayoral control of city schools and de Blasio will have to ask for another extension in 2016. Cuomo also promises another round of education reform proposals come January.
7. Policing New York City
Crime continues to trend down overall; though murders are up slightly, as are reported rapes; but shootings are down, as are several other major felony crimes. Complaints about police to the civilian board that fields them are down, as are marijuana arrests.
But, questions continue to arise from the right and the left about Bill de Blasio and Bill Bratton's NYPD: Are they really reformers, as de Blasio promised they'd be? Or is the broken windows approach too aggressive? Not being practiced aggressively enough?
Stop-and-frisks are down, but they're still disproportionately targeting black and Hispanic men compared to their proportion of the overall population. Cops have begun a new form of community policing in certain higher crime precincts, we'll know more in 2016 about how that is playing out, as we will about the efficacy of the department's new training protocols, instituted by de Blasio and Bratton. There's a host of NYPD reform and reporting bills sitting in the City Council that are opposed by Bratton (and thus, de Blasio), and are not moving - a major 2016 test for the Council Speaker, Melissa Mark-Viverito, and her progressive allies.
6. City & State Flush With Cash
The New York City economy is very, very good, and tax revenue is allowing the city a ballooning budget - including new union contracts - while the state has had an influx of cash due to bank settlements, allowing for billions in spending on infrastructure and more. Some parts of the state aren't doing well, and Gov. Cuomo continues to step in to send economic development funds their way. Everyone's wary of an economic downturn, but the city is so flush it is socking away money even while adding more to a budget clocking in at about $80 billion.
5. Cuomo-De Blasio Feud
The 2015 Albany session didn't go well for de Blasio - not just with the limited extension of mayoral control, but also with regard to his 421-a proposal aimed at furthering his affordable housing plan and with rent regulations coming in less generous to tenants than the mayor had hoped.
After de Blasio lashed out at Gov. Cuomo on June 30, it was on from there - an even more obvious, angry, and petty rivalry, which manifested regarding Legionnaires' Disease, minimum wage, the MTA, homelessness, crime, and more. Some say the feud is hurting New Yorkers whose lives and quality of life are in the balance as the two avoid collaboration about as much as possible. But, others say de Blasio and Cuomo are now trying to outdo each other on progressive policy and it may actually be helping struggling New Yorkers to a good degree.
As 2015 closes, neither will so much as say the other's name. As much as they say their staffs are in constant contact and they recently shared a well-publicized dinner to begin repairing the relationship, it's hard to believe that New Yorkers aren't unwilling victims of this rivalry.
4. City Continues Progressive Policy Push
Mayor de Blasio and a like-minded City Council are pushing forward with policies to help New Yorkers at the margins, and those in the middle class and struggling to make it. They've passed and continue to push new workplace and workforce regulations; affordable housing requirements; environmental and immigrant protections. They've implemented a municipal ID program; expanded library service, aid for senior citizens, community schools, and more as they seek to increase and equalize opportunity.
As mentioned, some question the city's free-spending ways, but the money is there and most fiscal watchdogs give city officials at least passing grades over the last couple of years in terms of responsible budgeting. Questions remain about new welfare standards, effective management of city services and the homelessness crisis, and more. For now, some think city government is overreaching in its efforts and spending, but the results appear positive as the city is relatively safe, the economy humming, and more New Yorkers feeling as though the government is working for them.
3. De Blasio's Up and Down Year
The mayor is doing a lot - while the city is safe and the economy continues to boom - but he's hit some roadblocks and gotten hit from the left and the right, all while being locked in his bitter feud with Gov. Cuomo, which is largely unhelpful to the mayor's agenda.
From the left, critics say de Blasio is too cozy with real estate; too harsh on homeless New Yorkers; and not enough of an NYPD reformer. From the right, they say he's too easy on homeless New Yorkers; not tough enough on crime; spending too much money on progressive programs; not closing enough failing schools or supporting charters; and not a strong enough manager.
No matter the criticisms, de Blasio has many programs in place and progress to point to in terms of his pre-kindergarten, affordable housing, and Vision Zero road safety plans, among others.
De Blasio's missteps regarding the presidential race and his approach to communications have hurt him, but he did find more solid footing as the year came to a close.
2. Cuomo Tacks Left
Governor Cuomo made a big liberal push starting just after Albany business wrapped up for the year. He moved on the minimum wage; nail salon workers; teacher evaluations; and several criminal justice reforms, to name a few of many signs of a governor who has found his inner liberal. This came after a tumultuous Albany season in which the governor was the only one of the 'three men in a room' still standing after Sheldon Silver and Dean Skelos were each indicted (and later convicted). While Cuomo oversaw budget and legislative deals that largely continued his more centrist governing style, he shifted hard left this summer and into the fall and winter. Next steps for Cuomo: showing New Yorkers he's finally going to lead a real push to clean up Albany corruption.
1. Preet Bharara's Trophy Wall
U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara took down two men who were among the three most powerful in New York state when he got to them. The indictments and convictions of former Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and former Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos shook Albany - to the extent that anyone was surprised by more corruption among state lawmakers, charges against the two sitting legislative leaders within months of each other was truly shocking. Don't forget that they weren't the only state lawmakers forced from office due to corruption charges this year, and they're among dozens over the past decade or so who've stepped down or been removed from office for ethical problems.
Silver and Skelos have been replaced atop their chambers and will now be replaced in office come special elections. Will Albany replace key elements of the system that they, and so many others, took advantage of? As Bharara would say: stay tuned.

UK is a good place for starting a business
October 25 ,2016 | by Hari Sri
Topic: News - Entrepreneurs & Startups
Over 75 per cent of business leaders worldwide believe that the UK is a good location to start a business, despite the vote to leave the EU, according to research from Barclays.
The research surveyed 1,350 business leaders worldwide, questioning them on their perceptions of British entrepreneurs and their experiences of doing business with scale-up businesses in the UK.
The study revealed that business leaders in other countries believe that Britain has the potential to create a successful business such as Google or Apple, with business leaders in Brazil, the US and China being the most optimistic at 88 per cent, 85 per cent and 84 per cent respectively.
Nearly 80 per cent of international business leaders believe that the start-up scene in the UK is an "important global growth business hub for entrepreneurs", whilst 82 per cent said that they would contemplate investing in a start-up company from the UK.
Over 60 per cent of respondents believe that Brexit will not have an impact on the way that they do business with the UK's entrepreneurs, whilst 60 per cent said that Britain leaving the EU will help to improve their trade dealings with companies from the UK.
Barclays Head of High Growth and Entrepreneurs, Richard Heggie, stated: "This shows UK entrepreneurs are held in high regard by business leaders globally, particularly in Brazil, China and the US. However it's critical that, against the backdrop of Brexit, the UK does everything it can to maintain and crucially build on this. That includes capitalising on the trade relationships and investment opportunities that the research highlights in order to thrive."

King Tables offers a limited warranty (for normal use) against the structural failure of our recycled plastic lumber furniture for up to 20 years for residential use, and up to 5 years for commercial use (warranty is from the date of purchase).
King Tables manufactures casual outdoor furniture from recycled plastic lumber (RPL) because it's a durable, environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional lumber. The material we use is made from an extremely high performance polymer that doesn't require sealing, painting or staining. It will not rot or splinter, and contains UV inhibitors that resist fading. It contains no filler, such as wood fiber, that would cause moisture absorption and promote bacterial growth. The recycled material used in our plastic lumber is a combination of consumer waste and industrial by-products which would normally be disposed of in landfills.

In today's on-demand world, consumers have the luxury of receiving information and services almost instantaneously. The rapid growth of telehealth in the healthcare industry supports the notion that consumers do in fact expect more convenience from their healthcare providers, and will contact physicians more often if a convenient method is provided to them.
What is telehealth? Telehealth, sometimes referred to as telemedicine, is a means of using telecommunication technologies for delivering and enhancing healthcare between patients and healthcare providers. This communication can happen in real-time or as a store-and-forward manner. In the real-time communication scenario, a patient and a healthcare practitioner may communicate through a live audio or video feed via phone, webcam, or some other technological means. In the store-and-forward example, a patient's digital images or exam results may be transmitted to a healthcare provider for a diagnosis. All telehealth systems require health information technology (health IT) such as the use of electronic health records (EHRs) or clinical decision support systems (CDSSs).
Telehealth offers many benefits to consumers. Not only does it provide time-saving access to healthcare, but it also creates an accessible means by which individuals can receive the care they need even if patient and physician are thousands of miles apart. In addition to being beneficial to consumers, healthcare professionals have much to gain from telehealth as well.
Telehealth can assist hospitals, healthcare organizations and emergency care centers to deal with the shortage of healthcare professionals in a present and effective way. Health institutions and care groups are able to access and care for patients in remote locations or in emergency situations with their existing, and sometimes limited, staff.
The accessibility telehealth provides also permits healthcare organizations to save time and develop better training materials to staff. Telehealth technologies store patient information in an organized manner, such as their reason for establishing contact and how they are managing their chronic diseases, allowing health practitioners to compare or update patient records for better medical decision-making, which leads to a more efficient workflow and improved patient care.
By adopting telehealth, healthcare providers can serve more patients and establish long-lasting relationships with them. This creates recurring revenue as patients will be more likely to reach out to providers who can accommodate to the needs and convenience of their patients without sacrificing on quality of care. Telehealth also allows providers and patients to consult specialized physicians to obtain further training or expert opinion, saving on travel time, and expenses.
In short, telehealth has great potential for advancing medical treatment to remote patients or to those that are managing chronic diseases. This technology has shown that providers can do more with limited resources by sharing professional staff across health networks, improve efficiency through better diagnosis and management of diseases, provide quality care, and reduce overall costs. It is an effective tool that healthcare organizations should consider adopting to meet the ever-changing demands of the healthcare industry and patients.

Q: Making a computed property dependent on all the properties of another object in emberjs Is it possible to make a property dependent on all the properties of another object? For example: (also in jsfiddle):
html:

javascript:
App = Ember.Application.create({});

App.Weapon = Ember.Object.extend({
    damage: null,
    speed: null
});

App.Hero = Ember.Object.extend({
    activeWeapon: null,
    strength: null,
    weaponDamagePerSecond: function() {
      var weapon = this.get('activeWeapon');
      console.log('weapon damage:' + weapon.get('damage'));
      console.log('weapon speed:' + weapon.get('speed'));
      console.log('strength:' + this.get('strength'));
      console.log (weapon.get('damage') + this.get('strength')) * weapon.get('speed');

      return (1.0 * weapon.get('damage') + 1.0 * this.get('strength')) * weapon.get('speed');
    }.property('activeWeapon', 'strength')
    //}.property('activeWeapon.damage', 'activeWeapon.speed', 'strength')
    // the above line will make the example work, but it is a bit painful to
    // have to specify all the attributes needed of activeWeapon.
});

App.IndexRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
    model: function() {
        return App.Hero.create({
            activeWeapon: App.Weapon.create({
                damage: 40,
                speed: 2
            }),
            strength: 8
        });
    }
});

Is it possible to get weaponDamagePerSecond to update when any property on activeWeapon updates, with having to specify all the properties manually (like in the commented out code)?

A: No, but it's really easy to write up an observer that watches everything and triggers your computed property to update anytime it updates.  I'm not necessarily recommending this, but it can be done.
http://jsfiddle.net/5gS59/
App.Weapon = Ember.Object.extend({
    damage: null,
    speed: null,
    version: 0,
    watchingEverything: function(){
        console.log('hello');
        this.incrementProperty('version');
    }.observes('damage','speed')
});

weaponDamagePerSecond: function() {
  var weapon = this.get('activeWeapon');
  console.log('weapon damage:' + weapon.get('damage'));
  console.log('weapon speed:' + weapon.get('speed'));
  console.log('strength:' + this.get('strength'));
  console.log (weapon.get('damage') + this.get('strength')) * weapon.get('speed');

  return (1.0 * weapon.get('damage') + 1.0 * this.get('strength')) * weapon.get('speed');
}.property('activeWeapon.version', 'strength')

You can alternately do a similar thing with just a property and not an observes:

MICROSCOPE has shown that gravity tugs objects at the same rate.
Copyright: © CNES/GRIMAULT Emmanuel, 2016
Galileo's 400-year-old theory of free-falling objects passes space test
By Edwin Cartlidge Nov. 28, 2017 , 4:40 PM
A key tenet of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity has passed yet another test with flying colors—and for the first time in space. A French satellite experiment has shown that objects with different masses fall at exactly the same rate under gravity, just as relativity dictates. The result is the most precise confirmation yet of the equivalence principle, first tested more than 400 years ago by Galileo Galilei. "The mission appears to have performed fantastically," says Clifford Will, a theoretical physicist at the University of Florida in Gainesville.
Physicists scrutinize the equivalence principle because any violation could point to new forces of nature that might resolve a long-standing impasse between general relativity and quantum theory. The satellite, called MICROSCOPE, found no discrepancy in the acceleration of two small test masses to about one part in 100 trillion (1014).That's more than 10 times better than the most sensitive ground-based experiments, which look for disparities in the response of weights to Earth's spin.
The €200 million MICROSCOPE, launched by France's space agency CNES in April 2016, benefits from avoiding terrestrial vibrations. It relies on a pair of concentric cylindrical shells a few centimeters long. The outer cylinder is made of a titanium and aluminum alloy, whereas the inner one is composed of much denser platinum and rhodium. As the spacecraft orbits Earth, the cylinders are in continuous free fall. Electrodes monitor their position and keep them centered by applying tiny voltages to nudge them electrostatically whenever they stray. As the satellite traces out a 1.5-hour-long orbit, a characteristic rise and fall in the difference between the two applied voltages would indicate that one of the cylinders is falling slightly faster than the other—and signal a violation of the equivalence principle.
After more than 1500 orbits by the satellite, the MICROSCOPE team—with researchers from France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom—found no such signal, they report in an accepted paper at Physical Review Letters. With another 900 research orbits before the mission ends next year, the team may reach its goal of confirming the equivalence principle to one part in a quadrillion (1015).
Will says that so far, the measurements don't rule out any specific alternatives to relativity that predict a violation of equivalence. Nevertheless, he argues it is important to keep raising sensitivities in case new physics lurks. "Until we get there we don't know," he says.
A proposed Italian satellite, aptly named Galileo Galilei, would test equivalence to a precision of one part in 1017, partly by spinning rapidly and isolating any signal from more slowly varying systematic effects. Researchers at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, have proposed a satellite that aims to reach one part in 1018 using noise-reducing cryogenics. Still other researchers hope to use Bose-Einstein condensates—clouds of cold atoms that behave as a single quantum wave—to reach tight limits.
Anna Nobili, a physicist at the University of Pisa in Italy and Galileo Galilei principal investigator, admits that finding the money for another space mission will not be easy. But the latest result "demonstrates that these tests are easy in space," she says.
