Motivated Political Murders delays decisions over various Railway projects in Kerala
26 Jun 2018 in Category(ies): Author railPosted on 26/06/2018 26/06/2018 Categories Politics & Railways, Rail Coach Factory, Palakkad, Railway Coach, Carriage & Wagon Workshops on Indian Railways, SR-Palakkad Division, SR-Thiruvananthapuram Division
National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) data shows the state machinery led by CPI (M) is deliberately ignoring political murders.
NEW DELHI / KOCHI: When it comes to rail development, the Kerala state finds itself moving at a snail's pace. While the successive governments huff and puff about the Centre's negligence, the railway ministry places the blame squarely back on the state, charging that most of the high-profile projects are stalled due to non-availability of land.
However RailNews takes a closer look on the ground situation both at state and centre, and finds that the political gap that surmounted in the recent past over the politically motivated murders of BJP and RSS supporters in Kerala state is real reason behind their inordinate delay.
This leads to the inevitable conclusion that the state machinery is deliberately not trying to work against political murders. The political will is clearly not there to curb such crimes.
Idealogically, Kerala is in the limelight with frequent political murders every now and then, and the main accusations were around those parties in power since 1970s. Politics in Kerala is dominated by two coalition fronts – the CPI (Marxist)-led Left Democratic Front (LDF) and the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) since late 1970s.
Although the main charge the Railways levels over the state government is the delay in handing over land for certain key infrastructure works and its refusal to share project cost with regard to at least three key projects, it can be assumed that the crimes of political murders as per the motives also the reason for the Centre to halt the proposals.
Under the scheme of the Indian Constitution, 'law and order' is a state subject. This effectively means that the state government is responsible for maintaining law and order in the state and thereby is the custodian of peace. National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) is an agency which annually releases statistical data on crime in India.
It has been witnessed in the last decade that various MNCs and major global conglomerates are also focussing on rest of India instead of kerala, in their Look at India policy and Look and Indian Railways policy, only because of the unstable and turbulent political situation in Kerala under the regime of CPI (M). Various MNCs instead of looking at Kerala, are focussing on those geographies which are politically progressive and forward-looking like Telangana, Andhra, Gujarat, Haryana, Bihar, UP, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra. "We are not keen in investing in a state where turbulent political atmosphere prevails", said a CEO-India and APAC region of a global manufacturing giant in a recent interview. This speaks about the poor law and order situation in Kerala.
In light of the violence in Kerala, it is incumbent that we look at the statistical data provided by NCRB to provide certain insights on the issue. NCRB, in its data for the year 2018, categorised the crime of murder as per the motives also. One of categorical motives in the data is "political reasons", these can be referred as political murders.
Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, along with Left parliamentarians, recently staged a dharna on Friday in front of the Rail Bhavan against the Railway Ministry's decision to scrap the proposed ₹550 crore Coach Factory in Palakkad District.
Blaming the Centre for "punishing" the people of Kerala, the chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan recently claimed that it was because the state was being ruled by the Left Democratic Front that the central government made this decision.
However according to Divisional Railway officials in Palakkad and Thiruvananthapuram, the state government needed to hand over "51 hectares of land in total" for various projects, both ongoing and that for which approval was given, in the Thiruvananthapuram division alone. However, delay in handing over land in certain projects threatens to affect smooth train operation. The track doubling through Kottayam section is the most urgent infrastructure work needed to be completed as the railway tracks in the division is already saturated, making it almost impossible to run new trains. "The track doubling works in the 115- km long Ernakulam-Kottayam-Kayamkulam section was originally scheduled to be completed in March 2017. However, the failure of the state government in handing over the land for the last over three years is indefinitely stalling the works. The last deadline sought by the government was May this year. However, even now, over five hectares of land in the Ettumanur-Changanassery sector remains to be handed over to us," a senior railway official said.
The doubling works in all other sectors in the section got completed and the railways officials now target to open the section for traffic by March 2020. Another project affected is the Angamaly-Kalady section of the ambitious Sabari rail project. "We've got nod to lay tracks only in the seven km section, that too way back in 1998. However, the government needs to hand over nearly four more plots (0.6 hectares) needed for setting up railway over bridges at Nedumbassery and Nayathode," the official said. The other projects stalled due to delay in land acquisition include renovation of the Old Railway Station at Ernakulam, doubling works in the Thiruvananthapuram-Kanyakumari section, Nemom coaching terminal and the setting up of at least 94 rail overbridges besides construction of over 10 new bridges.
"For instance, the construction of bridges at Mooradu, Dharmadam (two), Ezhimala and Cheruvattur in Palakkad division got completed. However, the same could not be linked with the railway line as the government is yet to hand over the same," sources said. Similarly, the railways blame the state government for non-realisation of projects like Sabari Rail (section beyond Kalady), doubling of coastal line through Alappuzha and the Tirunavaya-Guruvayur line. "The Centre allocated Rs 220 crore for the Sabari project but the state government is refusing to share the cost citing that the project was conceived long before the cost sharing (51:49) agreement came into effect," an official in charge of the project said. This even as two land acquisition units is still functional. Similarly the state refused to invest half the project cost with regard to the doubling in the Ernakulam-Ambalappuzha section citing that the same is being done for operational purpose and hence should be entirely borne by the railways.
State feels railways treats it unfairly
It's not on the proposed rail coach factory at Palakkad alone that the state finds itself neglected by the railways. G. Sudhakaran, the minister in charge of railways in the state, says several projects such as the Thalassery-Mysore railway line which the railways had earlier agreed to implement are yet to be taken up. "Around 10 projects were identified to be taken up for implementation post formation of joint venture Kerala Rail Development Corporation. Railway board chairman Ashwani Lohani had agreed to implement the projects during his visit to the state over six months back. Now they are either rejecting such projects (Kanjikode) or keeping silence over their taking up," Mr Sudhakaran told. He denied the charge of Railway Minister Piyush Goyal that the state government is not co-operating with railway development.
"Compared to previous governments, the LDF government is making fast progress in land acquisition. We've written a letter to the prime minister and the railway minister yesterday to convey our disappointment on such baseless allegation," he said. Another two projects of interest to the state government were the setting up of coaching terminals at vacant railway lands at Pullepaddy and Nemom. However, the same has been reportedly put on the backburner by the railways due to the huge project cost involved. The line capacity at the two busiest railway stations in the state — Thiruvananthapuram and Ernakulam Junction — has touched 150 per cent during peak hours with the existing infrastructure proving to be inadequate to meet the rising transportation demands.
"Since the railway headquarters of the Southern Railway is in Chennai, we're experiencing huge delay in decision-making on almost all major projects. We've sent a letter requesting to take up major projects, especially the coaching terminals," said a state government official included in the KRDC board. However, the railways are not keen to take up the works immediately. The Nemom coaching depot (10 pit lines and 15 stabling lines), which had found mention in the railway budgets of 2008 and 2011, would cost a whopping Rs 600 crore for implementation.
Similarly in Ernakulam, the railways plan to manage the situation with the existing infrastructure. "We'll soon start train operation in the Harbour Terminus line. This would mean long-haul trains terminating at Ernakulam could be taken to the Harbour Terminus or Mattancherry Halt stations since traffic in the line will be minimum. Similarly, the work to set up an additional pit line at the Ernakulam marshalling yard is progressing which will facilitate inspection of additional two to three trains," a railway official said.
It may not be out of place to mention here that Centre has always been favouring any new project in Kerala. Examples of setting of Strategic Electronics Factory of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited at Kasaragod, Kerala, BEML's Pallakkad Plant, Bharat Electronics Limited's Product Support Centre at Kalamassery, various DRDO's Labs i.e. Naval Physical Oceanographic Laboratory, Cochin, ISRO Centres at Vattiyarkavu, Aluva and Thiruvananthapuram and various other major centres of ICAR, CISR and Universities have been established in Kerala.

3.1 Bovine TB can be passed between cattle therefore infected cattle entering your herd can be a source of infection. Introducing any new animal e.g. purchases (including imported animals) or hire bulls, or re-introducing your own stock to your herd (e.g. following a show or returning unsold from market) can be a potential disease risk.
3.2 In recent years, it has been demonstrated that cattle to cattle transmission resulting from movement is one of the main contributors to the spread of TB. For example, around 50% of breakdowns in the LRA are due to purchase of infected cattle. In the HRA, given that 84% of non-slaughter movements of cattle are to other holdings within the HRA, it must be assumed that movements are also a significant contributor to TB spread in the HRA.
How to reduce your risk?
i) Date of the animal's pre-movement TB test: Not all animals require pre-movement tests, but those that do should have been tested in the 60 days before their sale. Pre-movement testing reduced the risk of undetected infected cattle spreading disease.
ii) Date of the seller's last routine herd test: Knowing this date may offer additional reassurance if the herd has tested negative for TB recently or it may prompt you to consider carrying out isolation and post-movement testing before introducing the animal into your herd. If the last test was some time ago or you are uncertain about the testing history e.g. if the animal was not bred on the holding from which it is being sold, you should consider isolating the animal and ask your vet to conduct a post movement test (see below for further information).
iii) Date the herd achieved Officially TB Free (OTF) status: All animals offered for sale should have tested negative for TB and come from an OTF herd. However, the length of time that the herd of origin has been OTF can be an indication of the level of TB risk of sourcing cattle from that herd. The longer a herd has been free of TB restrictions the lower the risk and conversely a herd that has recently come off restrictions is likely to be a higher risk.
3.4 Infected cattle do not usually show clinical signs of TB and will look healthy. Post-movement testing is another line of defence to detect infected cattle prior to introducing them in to your herd, and reduce the risk of them spreading TB to your other cattle.
3.5 Post-movement testing was introduced in England on 6 April 2016. Herd owners in the LRA of England must arrange and pay for post-movement tests for cattle bought from herds in annual (or more frequent) surveillance testing areas of England and Wales. Post-movement testing is not required for cattle slaughtered within 120 days of arriving in the LRA, or that are moved to a Licensed Finishing Unit approved by APHA (unless the cattle have had no pre-movement test). A complete list of exemptions is available in the guidance on pre-movement and post-movement testing of cattle in Great Britain.
3.6 Post-movement tests must be completed between 60 and 120 days after an animal has joined an LRA herd. Government-funded TB tests scheduled to take place within the 60-120 day post-movement testing window can be considered valid post-movement tests. If possible animals should be isolated until the test results are known.
3.8 Therefore, it is worthwhile carrying out post-movement testing even if the animals have passed a pre-movement test as it gives another opportunity to pick up any undetected infection or animals infected with M. bovis following the test e.g. during transit.
3.9 The limitations of the TB test create a particular risk in relation to bull hire. As bulls may visit several herds each year they pose a high risk of spreading TB and it would be preferable not to use hire bulls at all.
Isolate all higher-risk cattle before they enter the herd.
3.9 When cattle enter your farm, it is recommended to isolate them from other cattle in the herd to ensure that they are not incubating any disease (not just TB) and to give you time to test.
3.10 If you are buying in cattle from a herd of higher TB risk status (based on your assessment of the three factors at 3.3 above), they should always be isolated. The period of isolation should be at least 60 days so that a post-movement test can be carried out before introducing them into the herd.
3.11 These recommendations apply to all cattle entering the herd, including newly purchased stock, hired bulls, and cattle that are already under your ownership but that return from being away, e.g. from shows, markets and from other premises. The risk is greater for purchased stock and hired bulls than for animals that have been off the farm for a short time. Nevertheless it is important to assume that even short spells off farm can potentially give opportunity for infection to be acquired.
3.12 The practicality of isolating cattle will depend upon a number of factors, including the number of animals purchased, their purpose (management stage) within the herd and the availability of suitable isolation facilities.
3.13 Discuss with your vet what options could be appropriate for isolation on your farm.

Q: nil can't be coerced into BigDecimal - Ruby On Rails I've seen other questions similar to this one, but none that are exactly the same (I'm still somewhat of a beginner). If there is another thread that is the same just let me know! Thanks!!
UPDATE:
I forgot to add this code. Which is a migration file to add the quantity.
class AddQuantityToProductItems < ActiveRecord::Migration[5.0]
  def change
    add_column :product_items, :quantity, :integer, default: 1
  end
end

I keep getting the error "nil can't be coerced into BigDecimal" from the code below (ProductItem Model:)
class ProductItem < ApplicationRecord
  belongs_to :product
  belongs_to :cart

  def total_price
    product.price * quantity
  end
end

Here is the Cart Model:
class Cart < ApplicationRecord
  has_many :product_items, dependent: :destroy

  def add_product(product_id)
    current_item = product_items.find_by(product_id: product_id)
    if current_item
      current_item.quantity += 1
    else
      current_item = product_items.build(product_id: product_id)
    end
    current_item
  end

  def total_price
    product_items.to_a.sum{|item| item.total_price}
  end
end

Product Model:
class Product < ApplicationRecord
  before_destroy :ensure_not_product_item
  has_many :product_items
  validates :title, :description, presence: true
  validates :price, numericality: {greater_than_or_equal_to: 0.01}
  validates :title, uniqueness: true
  has_attached_file :image, styles: { medium: "300x300>", thumb:       "100x100>" }
  validates_attachment_content_type :image, content_type: /\Aimage\/.*\Z/

  def ensure_not_product_item
    if product_items.empty?
      return true
    else
      errors.add(:base, 'Product Items')
      return false
    end
  end
end

ProductItems Controller:
class ProductItemsController < ApplicationController

  include CurrentCart
  before_action :set_cart, only: [:create]
  before_action :set_product_item, only: [:show, :destroy]

  def create
    product = Product.find(params[:product_id])
    @product_item = @cart.add_product(product.id)
    if @product_item.save
      redirect_to shop_url, notice: 'Your Product was added to the cart!'
    else
      render :new
    end
  end

  private

  def set_product_item
    @product_item = ProductItem.find(params[:id])
  end

  def product_item_params
    params.require(:product_item).permit(:product_id)
  end

end

Code for Product Items and Products from schema.rb
create_table "product_items", force: :cascade do |t|
  t.integer  "product_id"
  t.integer  "cart_id"
  t.datetime "created_at", null: false
  t.datetime "updated_at", null: false
  t.integer  "quantity"
  t.index ["cart_id"], name: "index_product_items_on_cart_id"
  t.index ["product_id"], name: "index_product_items_on_product_id"
end

create_table "products", force: :cascade do |t|
  t.string   "title"
  t.string   "image"
  t.text     "description"
  t.decimal  "price"
  t.datetime "created_at",         null: false
  t.datetime "updated_at",         null: false
  t.string   "image_file_name"
  t.string   "image_content_type"
  t.integer  "image_file_size"
  t.datetime "image_updated_at"
end

If any other files are needed, I'll gladly post them. I'm sure it's something really simple, I just can't seem to figure it out. Maybe I'm trying too hard to find the problem. Lol.
Thanks for taking the time to help!

A: From the sounds of it, you are not initialising the quantity attribute when you create a new product item.
You could either initialise the quantity attribute in the by adding an after_initialize block in ProductItem
class ProductItem < ApplicationRecord
  after_initialize do
    self.quantity ||= 1
  end
end

Or, you could set the quantity attribute in the Cart#add_product method when you create a product item:
class Cart < ApplicationRecord
  def add_product(product_id)
    current_item = product_items.find_by(product_id: product_id)
    if current_item
      current_item.quantity += 1
    else
      # initialize the quantity value when creating a new item
      current_item = product_items.build(product_id: product_id, quantity: 1)
    end
    current_item
  end
end

Yet another method would be to set a default value in the ProductItem#total_price method:
class ProductItem < ApplicationRecord
  def total_price
    product.price * (quantity || 1)
  end
end

Personally, I would go with after_initialize method as it is the most consistent option in that the quantity always has a value.

A: Your code is attempting do to arithmetic with a nil value, thus the message nil can't be coerced into BigDecimal.
As to why this happens, you'll need to do some digging to figure out where in the code the error arises. One clue is that the error implies the nil value is on the right side of the operation, e.g.:
bd = BigDecimal.new("0")
bd + nil # => nil can't be coerced into BigDecimal

as opposed to:
nil + bd # => undefined method '+' for nil:NilClass

Can the FDA Make Up Its Mind Already?
Maxx Chatsko, The Motley Fool
It isn't very often that an agency sometimes accused of over-regulating an industry can be ridiculed for not regulating enough, but that's exactly where the Food and Drug Administration finds itself. And this time the criticism is coming from pharmaceutical companies themselves. Companies developing generic biologic drugs, which are often costlier and more complicated to manufacture than small molecules, have only loose guidelines on what the agency wants to see for approval. Additionally, the Biosimilar User Fee Act of 2012 -- meant to clarify development procedures -- only made things worse.
The problem gets even worse when you consider that the European Medicine Agency has a clear-cut roadmap for biosimilar drugs. In fact, more than a dozen of the generics have been approved on the continent. Why should cheaper treatments be available in one market and not another due to a simple lack of communication?
The market opportunity in the United States could be huge. Take a look at some of the top biosimilar companies waiting for the FDA to make up its mind.
Amgen is looking to launch six biosimilars beginning in 2017 for drugs such as Herceptin, Humira, Remicade, and Rituxan. The company believes biosimilars represent a multibillion-dollar opportunity.
Momenta and Baxter are collaborating on up to six biosimilars for autoimmune diseases and oncology. Three have already been identified, and one should have an investigational new drug application submitted next year.
Novartis wants its generic business, Sandoz, to cement its role as a world-leading biosimilar company. Already controlling half of the global biosimilar market, Sandoz is currently developing 10 molecules to add to its portfolio.
Hospira offers services ranging from contract manufacturing to software, but it, too, wants to add a biosimilar program. The company is developing generic versions of Epogen, Herceptin, Neulasta, Neupogen, and Remicade.
There is a lot at stake, and plenty of companies that are nudging the FDA clear things up. In the following video, Fool contributor Maxx Chatsko breaks down the industry's frustration and what can be done to resolve the issue.

Gambier, Ohio – The Wittenberg softball team suffered a pair of NCAC road losses to the Ladies of Kenyon College on Saturday afternoon. The Tigers battled it out with the Ladies from Kenyon, falling in a tough game one battle by a final score of 7-5, before going down in game two 8-4. The offense was alive on both sides, as Wittenberg tallied double-digit hits in both games, recording 25 hits on the day between the two games.
Wittenberg was the first to strike on the day, coming off the Lauren Buelow double down the right-field line and going up 1-0. Elise Freeland logged her first RBI of the day with a sharply hit ball to the left side of the infield, bringing in the second Tiger run of the second inning. Kenyon responded with seven unanswered runs between the fourth and fifth innings. Buelow stepped back in to help the Tiger offense with an RBI single to right field, cutting the Kenyon lead down to 7-3. Freeland knocked in two more Wittenberg runs with a double to left center, bringing around Buelow and Nikki Hawkins, as Kenyon went on to hold off the Tigers in the seventh inning.
Katelyn Niswonger took the mound to start the game, tossing four innings with six hits allowed, while striking out three. Mary Britton tossed two innings of relief for the Red and White, allowing four hits and striking out one.
After Kenyon got on the board first with two runs in the first inning, Wittenberg struck back in the top of the second to regain the lead in the top of the second. Freeland drove in the first Wittenberg run with a single to the left side, bringing home Elaina Adams. A double by Lee plated the next two Tiger runs, taking the Wittenberg advantage out to 3-2. Curnutte capped off the Tiger rally with a single to center to score Lee for the fourth final run of the second inning. Unfortunately, this would be the only offensive spark the Tigers would see in the second game, as Kenyon responded with six runs over the final five innings of action.
Niswonger got the start in game two for the Red and White, tossing two and a third for the Tigers with three strikeouts to her credit. Cassidy Osborne came in to close out the Ladies with two strikeouts on the day.
Wittenberg will return to action on Monday, April 15, hosting the Polar Bears of Ohio Northern University from Betty Doughman Dillahunt Field. First pitch of the doubleheader is set for 3:00 PM.


The initial detail we, at tribepanama.com, have perceived is the inexpensive prices of the shared webspace hosting services furnished by 'The Claypoole Group'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared web hosting. The good thing here is that the webspace hosting accounts delivered by 'The Claypoole Group' are driven by an in-house designed, innovative cloud web hosting solution (each web hosting service, such as email, databases, web space hosting CP, disk storage, DNS, statistics, etc., is being handled by a separate pack of hosting servers in a cluster). This is something EVERY cPanel web hosting corporation in the World will have considerable problems with, because cPanel is a one single server based website hosting platform (each web hosting service, like electronic mail, databases, web hosting Control Panel, storage space, DNS, stats, and so on, is being handled by a single web server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel web site hosting distributors are not able to add additional functionality and handle it the way they need it) and there is no open source file platform (they have to build their own file platform), which is the foundation of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared website hosting plans, which are powered by an authentic cloud web page hosting platform. With a shared hosting plan, each customer pays just for his/her package, thus preserving the web hosting price amazingly low (since many customers use one and the same web hosting server). In a few words, a shared hosting account, which is hosted on a cloud hosting solution, enables you to pay just for the reserves that you indeed demand, avoiding a scenario where you pay for a high-end hosting plan that you cannot actually utilize, or for a tiny website hosting account that cannot shelter your site. The possibility to upgrade your account from one package to another with just 2 mouse clicks gives you the flexibility to start with a small plan and upgrade as your online presence expands. So, you economize cash that you can invest in publicizing the web page while it is still novel. Every web hosting package supplied by 'The Claypoole Group' sports an online web site builder and more than 40 popular script software applications among them WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you 100s of dollars for web page design solutions. 'The Claypoole Group' supplies shared web space hosting plans in several different geographical regions around the World. There is one data center in Chicago encompassing the United States of America and Canada; 2 European datacenter facilities - in Britain and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia-Pacific region. Hence, almost the whole planet is covered to present you and your website's visitors with a stable and reliable site hosting service at a nearby place. All in all, the shared hosting services supplied 'The Claypoole Group' are quite well appointed and come at an affordable price (beginning from $2.92 for the Starter plan).

When Royal Freemasons Benevolent Institution (RFBI) implemented Clinical, Care and Medication Management software, they knew the charting functionality and added mobility would positively impact the way they worked. We spoke to Yvonne Donaldson, Clinical Systems Educator, to find out how using the software via tablet devices has benefited their staff and residents.
How has using Telstra Health – Aged, Disability & Community Care's (ADCC) Clinical, Care and Medication Management at the point of care improved documentation and care delivery?
Documentation is now much less onerous, as information is collected via a tablet device at the time an incident occurs, when care is being delivered and to capture information relating to medication administration. With the device handy, staff take photos of residents' wounds to track their improvement which is stored directly in the software. This has now become an expected part of care delivery for residents: recently when changing a wound dressing for a resident, she explained to me that staff show her photos so that she can also track the progress of the wound. Her expectation was to see visual proof of how it was improving right there and then.
What process did you go through to select the mobile devices (and protective covers) you use?
We have a wide range of age groups within our staff mix and some older staff were a little reluctant at first as they had never used a tablet device before. We therefore wanted a device that was intuitive and user friendly. We decided on iPad Airs as a lot of staff were familiar with iPhones and therefore had an understating of the functionality. iPad Airs are light to carry and large enough to view and write notes. We were aware they were more fragile so we did our research and found a suitable stand and cover to protect them when being used alongside care delivery.
How did you implement the mobile devices and point of care documentation?
We have 24 villages in NSW and ACT with many rural and remote. We wanted to ensure there were no Wi-Fi blackspots before implementation, so our IT team inspected the infrastructure to confirm there would be no issues. We then implemented the technology at one site at a time. This involved holding a three-hour training session at each facility that covered the basics, such as turning the device on and charging it, writing notes, checking a chart and doing a mock medication round. After the training had been completed, we ensured we had additional support available at the facility on the day the software launched.
How did you overcome any staff resistance to using a mobile device?
Having practical training sessions where staff could be hands on with the tablet devices made a real difference because they could see it wasn't as hard as they thought it would be – in fact it was actually quite simple. We also paired up less confident users with a "village champion" who they could go to if they had any questions.
Have you had any breakages, tablets going missing or experienced any issues with the devices?
We have been using iPads for over 12 months and we haven't had one damaged, broken or missing. We also installed device manager software so we could update all devices at one time, ensure staff don't accidentally delete any apps from the device, and also track where the device is so we know if it leaves a facility.
How have your residents responded to the use of mobile devices? Have they experienced any benefits?
It's been lovely to see that the devices have enabled staff to spend more one on one time with residents. Staff now make a choice to sit with the residents to write their notes, rather than having to return to a nurse's station to type them up. Our team works in aged care because they value personal interaction and want to spend their time caring for others – rather than sitting behind a desk doing paper work – so it has been a big positive for them. Our residents also enjoy the extra time they now have to chat to staff as they enter information.
What is the single biggest reason you would recommend using Clinical, Care and Medication Management at the point of care?
Our biggest benefit is being able to capture what's happening in the moment of care delivery without having to leave the resident. This process enables staff to complete any required documentation whilst providing ongoing support and interaction. It's changed the way we work for the better.
RFBI is a not-for-profit organisation providing residential aged care and home care services as well as operating retirement villages across ACT and NSW.
It's great to see the human side of these technologies, such as being able to sit with residents to enter data in person. Well done.
Thank you for taking the time to comment, and for your feedback. I agree that utilising technology to spend more quality time with care recipients is one of its greatest advantages.
I also agree. I have found the site very informative! I only recently came upon it, and wish I'd seen it sooner. It does a great job of pulling different topics/disciplines/perspectives — something unique and valuable here. Thanks — hope you keep it up!
Thank you for taking the time to comment. I'm really pleased you have found our website informative.


Envato has actually released numerous efforts throughout the years and some of them have actually been considerably popular. Brands like Tuts+, FreelanceSwitch, AppStorm, Creattica and Rockable Press had actually made their presence felt and many of these niche websites are still functional catering to their target market. The most popular effort and ultimately brand name of Envato happens to be ThemeForest. It is also the most lucrative endeavor of the company. ThemeForest is basically a worldwide marketplace where you can access HTML templates and themes for WordPress, Magento and Joomla among other content management systems and site structure platforms. ThemeForest is an open source platform so developers from all around the world, neither used by Envato nor on any type of agreement, can add to the inventory of themes and design templates readily available on the site. However being open source also has its imperfections. Not all themes have the assistance you might need as Envato is not straight accountable for such backend facilities unless they establish and own a theme. ThemeForest serves as a facilitator when 3rd party developers offer their themes to website designers, webmasters and company owner.
Being an open source platform likewise has its advantages. ThemeForest has managed to bring aboard a few of the finest WordPress developers from throughout the world and that has actually helped the platform to have some incredible themes with exceptional performance. Hundreds of developers have actually cracked in with their efforts sometimes and those ThemeForest WordPress themes are obviously among the very best you can get. Owing to the active involvement of innovative developers, ThemeForest has handled to grow its inventory to more than thirty 8 thousand themes, site templates, plug-ins and tools for WordPress and other platforms. Open source platforms have actually constantly led the way for sensible pricing or complimentary themes. While you can always download ThemeForest totally free themes, you might also think about one of the premium or paid ThemeForest HTML templates. The paid or premium ThemeForest WordPress templates are as reasonable as $2. Of course there are some themes that are tremendously more costly however you can get some themes that are very cheap. You can not think of downloading a superior theme from most developers that would begin with as low as $2. ThemeForest declares to have the largest worldwide neighborhood of imaginative designers and there is no great need to question that. Till date, ThemeForest has actually offered more than forty 2 million themes, templates, tools and plug-ins to name a few items. The neighborhood of developers on ThemeForest has earned more than 5 hundred million through sales.
Whether you prefer a ThemeForest free download or you think about an exceptional theme, you can feel confident of its functionality and graphics, features and dependability. Every theme, template, plug-in or any tool developed by anyone on the open source platform is reviewed by the Envato group. A group of professionals conduct comprehensive tests and just after careful review and total satiation do they make the product available free of charge or paid download. The review team does not hinder the economics of the proposition however as far as performance, graphics, utility, dependability, functions and security are concerned, all themes and design templates, plug-ins and tools to name a few are subjected to a stringent evaluation. Many designers get their very first submissions refused owing to some reason or the other and their developments just get authorized after they have been enhanced and all identified loopholes have been plugged.
There are more than 2 thousand six hundred ThemeForest WordPress themes. These don't consist of plug-ins, tools, website design templates or e-mail templates and other products. It is unlikely that you would not find the kind of theme that's ideal for your site provided the nature of your service, kind of branding you wish to develop and the target market you have in mind. ThemeForest is no less than Elegant Themes when it concerns variety of themes. ThemeForest in fact has a lot more choices than Elegant Themes and is far more reasonable with the majority of its themes than the latter. Elegant Themes is unknown to have the most inexpensive items in this specific niche.
ThemeForest totally free themes and premium ThemeForest HTML templates are nicely classified. You can use themes or templates suitable for blogs, creative sites, magazines or digital publications, corporate sites, retail websites, innovation sites or home entertainment websites, ecommerce website or online store, nonprofit sites or others. All websites would be responsive and are completely customizable.

Have you ever wondered what makes people who enthusiastically serve others good at it? And how do they find the time or energy? We feel like the only thing we've been serving lately are the pickups and drop offs, and a frozen pizza dinner.
Working with volunteers and leaders in my community (many of them parents) gives me a hope, because I see a lot of people who really get what it means to serve. They love in ways that are selfless and give in ways that are sacrificial. Even while juggling carpools, errands, activity schedules, pets, change, school, homework, work, relationships, leisure, church…I've seen parents and kids navigate all these things while still being a great example of what it means to serve.
But how do they do it? How are they showing up with meals, jumping in when help is needed, and saying yes when nobody is saying yes? How did they become the people who I want my own kids to be around more? What makes Jenn, Andy, Daniel, Emily, Kyle, Savannah, Carol, and dozens of others my serving heroes? Are they really supernaturally gifted to serve?
When three of these things collide in a person or in a family, beautiful things happen. Kids and parents become uniquely aware of their abilities to do "immeasurably more" just by being themselves. And these three things don't always automatically just happen. They can be taught, encouraged, and learned.
It takes humility for people to show deep care for others—to see outside your own story and into another. Being able to set aside one's self is a gift. When you act humbly, knowing you aren't perfect and you're not entitled, you're able to give all of who you are.
Give kids little tasks that require extra help. Stay close by and help them communicate their needs by reinforcing the positive practice of serving even when it feels like they can't do it. Start by letting them help with the gardening or cooking, taking a neighbors newspaper to them, or even serving communion at church.
Give older kids stories to tell that aren't their own. Give a typically me-centered teenager a chance to be a voice for someone who doesn't have a voice yet. It can help them think of others over themselves and will nurture empathy.
Grit is when you say yes to a story that's bigger than yourself and then stay with it. It's serving without apology and inviting others in. Grit is what I see when parents, despite their hectic lives and schedules, find ways to show up for people together as a family.
So, work on your family grit. Encourage each other not to give up even when you feel like quitting before the job is done.
Start thinking long term. Listen to your kids' ideas about how they would like to serve and help them come up with ways to do it over a longer period of time. Commit to a goal and help them meet it, even if it takes longer than expected.
Generosity is living with an abundant heart of trust instead of living in fear of scarcity. Generosity is displayed when a person begins to believe that all they have was meant to be shared, and they give joyfully.
Help kids learn generosity by providing opportunities to give. When kids experience the joy of giving, they'll want to be more generous. It could be as simple helping them share a toy with another child.
Help teenagers learn how to be generous by challenging them to change a habit for the sake of others. For instance, generosity happens when a teenager gives up her cell phone and the bill that goes with it to support an orphanage instead.
Pick a quality and camp out in it this month. Explore what it means to be humble together, to fight for something good together, or to give generously together.

Germany coach Joachim Loew to stay through 2022 World Cup
AP May 15, 2018 at 7:18a ET
DORTMUND, Germany (AP) Germany coach Joachim Loew will stay in charge through the World Cup in Qatar in 2022.
The German soccer federation says it was initially planned to extend Loew's deal through the European Championship in 2020, but he has agreed to stay another two years, along with assistant coach Thomas Schneider and goalkeeping coach Andreas Koepke.
Oliver Bierhoff, the national team general manager, is also extending his deal, to 2024, along with assistant Marcus Sorg.
Loew has been in charge since taking over from Jurgen Klinsmann after the 2006 World Cup. Loew had been Klinsmann's assistant as Germany finished third in its home tournament.
The former Freiburg midfielder has overseen steady progress as Germany coach, finishing runner-up at Euro 2008, third at the World Cup in 2010, before making up for a semifinal exit at Euro 2012 by winning the World Cup title in 2014.

Phil Howard To Replace Jeff Skeen as CEO of Fitness Connection
Fitness Connection is merging its ownership and management teams into a single brand, which is expected to accelerate overall growth and facility openings.
Club Industry staff | Sep 13, 2017
Fitness Connection, Houston, Texas, announced Wednesday that partner and CEO Jeff Skeen is transitioning out of the company and will be replaced by executive Phil Howard. Skeen is pursuing his passion of "integrating fitness and healthcare," according to a media release.
Skeen's departure has become one facet of a larger effort by the health club company to merge its ownership and management teams into a single brand, according to the release. As a result of combining resources, Fitness Connection plans to accelerate growth and facility openings.
The company had previously split the management of its 37 clubs in Texas, Nevada and North Carolina, while sharing operations, marketing and advertising services.
"Over the last 26 years, I have been blessed to be an officer and owner of some of the top fitness companies, and I can say with confidence that Fitness Connection's business model is a highly differentiated value proposition in the fitness space," Skeen said in the release. "My association with Fitness Connection has been the highlight of my fitness career. Even though I'm departing, as an investor, I'm excited that Phil is taking over as CEO and know that the company is in very capable hands."

Q: Docker can't find a script that I COPY to an image when I try to invoke it twice via /script.sh && /script.sh (but once works!) A simple example of what i'm trying to do involves a Dockerfile like this:
from ubuntu

COPY  script.sh /script.sh
RUN   chmod a+x /script.sh

And a script file like this:
/script.sh
#!/bin/bash

    echo hi `date`
    sleep 1
    echo hi `date`

I build and run like this and everything is fine and dandy:
docker build -t client .
docker run   client  /script.sh

When I do the above I see  'hi' twice with the date.
Now, if I want to be told 'hi' four times, I would think I could do this:
docker run   client  /script.sh && /script.sh

But that fails with the error:
bash: /script.sh: No such file or directory

Very odd.. since i am providing the full path to /script.sh.. I wonder why bash can't find it.
For built-in commands I can  'chain' using the '&&'  operator.  For example this works fine:
docker run   client  /script.sh &&  echo it works

If anyone could enlighten me, I'd be very grateful !

A: Your command is parsed on the host into the "docker run..." && /script.sh with obvious results. You might want to rephrase it to say docker run ... /bin/bash -c "/script.sh && /script.sh"
