Eye on Washington
Recent federal news on SCHIP funding * National Children's Study * ACIP vaccine recommendations * FDA guidelines for fresh produce, and more * MedPAC recommendations on reimbursement
In Washington this month, administration scandals proliferate as newly empowered committee chairs brandish their subpoena powers, presidential candidates vie for support, and federal health care agencies-as always-go about their business.
The FDA has also announced it is beginning a safety review of over-the-counter cough and cold remedies marketed to children, with special concern for products labeled for use in children under 2 years of age. Most of the ingredients in these remedies were approved by the FDA years ago, at a time when safety standards were not as strict as they have since become.
The FDA has also taken action against the numerous criticisms of biased advisory committees.
Under newly proposed guidance, advisors who received money from a pharmaceutical or device manufacturer might be unable to cast a vote regarding approval of that company's products. Furthermore, any doctor who receives more than $50,000 from a company might not be able to even serve on the committee that discusses the company's product, or competing products.
The FDA's advisory panels took criticism after drugs such as Vioxx were approved by board members with financial ties to drugmaker Merck. When Vioxx was pulled from the market as a result of causing heart attacks in many patients, the advisory panel's actions were called into question.
"FDA is committed to making the advisory committee process more rigorous and transparent so that the public has confidence in the integrity of the recommendations made by its advisory committees," said Randall Lutter, PhD, FDA's acting deputy commissioner for policy.

Eine Lichtquelle ist der Ort, von dem Licht ausgeht. Primäre globale Lichtquelle ist die Sonne.

Unterteilungen und Charakteristik

Charakteristisches Merkmal aller Lichtquellen ist die Wellenlängenverteilung nach Frequenz und Intensität.

Die Vielfalt von Lichtquellen lässt sich nach weiteren Kriterien einteilen: nach den Merkmalen messbarer Strahlung, nach der Geometrie des Strahlengangs oder nach einzelnen physikalischen Kennzeichen wie der Quantenenergie. Nach der räumlichen Ausdehnung der strahlenden Quelle unterscheiden sich Punktlichtquellen und diffuse Lichtquellen, nach der jeweiligen Abstrahlcharakteristik als rundum oder gerichtet strahlend.

Physikalisch werden natürliche lokal begrenzte Lichtquellen (Glühwürmchen, Polarlicht, Blitz) und vom Menschen geschaffene künstliche technische Lichtquellen (Öllampe, Leuchtmittel bzw. Lampe, Laser, Bildröhre, Leuchtdiode) unterschieden.

Eine selbstleuchtende Lichtquelle, auch als "aktive Lichtquelle" oder Lichtquelle 1. Ordnung, erzeugt das abgestrahlte Licht in der Lichtquelle. Zu diesen Selbstleuchtern gehören die Sonne, Sterne, Glühwürmchen, Feuer oder Lampen.

Alle anderen Körper, die nicht selbst leuchten, werden als "passive Lichtquellen", auch Lichtquellen 2. oder höherer Ordnung, bezeichnet. Sie können erst durch Beleuchtung (Anstrahlung) mit anderen Lichtquellen
 andere Lichtfarben aussenden (induzierte Emission), wie Leuchtfarben, oder
 das eingestrahlte Licht reflektieren, wie der Mond Sonnenlicht auf die Erde wirft. Zu diesen passiven Quellen gehören ebenfalls Rückstrahler (Katzenaugen) an Verkehrsmitteln, die Licht reflektieren.

Thermische Strahler

Thermische Strahler liefern eine kontinuierliche Strahlung, mit steigender Temperatur verschiebt sich das Strahlungs-Maximum vom infraroten über rotes, hin zu blauem und ultraviolettem Licht (siehe Plancksches Strahlungsgesetz). Je heißer ein Strahler ist, desto blauer erscheint er. Dabei spielt die Energieform, die in Wärme umgesetzt wird und zur Strahlung führt, keine Rolle.
 Elektroenergie: Glühlampe, Nernstlampe, das Plasma der Kohlenbogenlampe
 Chemische Energie wirkt vorzugsweise bei der Verbrennung: Öllampe, Petroleumlampe, darunter die Starklichtlampe, Gaslaterne, Kerze, Fackel. Allgemein leuchten bei jedem Feuer die Flammen durch den glühenden, dispersen Kohlenstoff. Ein etwas anderer Vorgang ist die Umsetzung der Wärme in (vorzugsweise) sichtbares Licht mittels Glühstrumpf.
 Kernphysikalische Energie spielt bei der Sonne als ursprünglichste Lichtquelle für die Erdbewohner die entscheidende Rolle.

Nichtthermische Strahler
Im Gegensatz zum thermischen Strahler können Moleküle und Atome durch Zufuhr von Energie unterschiedlicher Provenienz in einen angeregten Zustand versetzt werden. Geht dann der angeregte wieder in den Grundzustand (Rekombination) so wird die Differenz der Energie wieder freigesetzt. Für die praktische Nutzung ist es von besonderer Bedeutung, dass diese als Strahlung mit Wellenlängen im sichtbaren Spektralbereich abgegeben wird. Der optische Anteil der so entstehenden Strahlung ist Lumineszenz. Bei der Lumineszenz werden zwei Formen nach der Zeit zwischen Anregung und Abstrahlung unterschieden. Fluoreszenz tritt nur während der Anregung auf, Phosphoreszenz dagegen auch, nachdem die äußere Anregung bereits erloschen ist. Beides sind Formen der Lumineszenz. Die Phosphoreszenz (Nachleuchten nach dem Beleuchten) wird bei Sicherheitsschildern, Zifferblättern oder als Dekoration verwendet. Im Gegensatz zum kontinuierlichen Spektrum des thermischen Strahlers entstehen auf Grund der Prozessabläufe diskontinuierliche Spektrallinien oder -banden. Gasentladungen in verdünnten Gasen zeigen sehr scharfe Spektrallinien, bei Gasen unter Druck (Hochdruck-Metalldampflampen) verbreitern sich die Linien.

Die anregende Energie kann auf unterschiedlichen Energieformen zur Lichtquelle führen. Bei Glühwürmchen oder dem Leuchtstab führt die chemische Reaktion zur Reaktion und der Lichtabgabe. Leuchtdioden, Gasentladungslampen und EL-Folien erhalten mittels Gasentladung oder Elektrolumineszenz die Funktion als Lichtquelle durch elektrischen Strom. Durch Elektronenbeschuss, auch Betastrahlung aus einem fluoreszierenden Leuchtstoff, werden Bildröhren, Fluoreszenzanzeigen zum Leuchten angeregt, hier sind auch Kathodolumineszenz und Tritiumlicht zu nennen.

Eine andere Kategorie ist die Wandlung von (vorzugsweise) UV-Licht durch Fluoreszenz mittels Leuchtstoffen in sichtbares Licht, diese Vorgänge der Umwandlung von kürzeren (energiereicheren) Wellenlänge zum (längerwelligen) sichtbaren Licht sind grundlegend für Leuchtstoffröhren und bei den weißen Leuchtdioden. Kürzerwellige Strahlung zur Erzeugung sichtbaren Lichtes ist bei Leuchtschirmen älterer Geräte die Röntgenstrahlung und die Gammastrahlung für "radioaktive" Leuchtfarbe. Synchrotronstrahlung und Tscherenkowstrahlung haben dagegen keine Bedeutung als künstliche Lichtquellen.

Laser werden durch elektrischen Strom, Strahlung kürzerer Wellenlängen oder chemische Energie angeregt und werden nur selten als Lichtquelle verwendet. Beispiele für den praktischen Einsatz von Lasern als Lichtquelle sind Infrarot-Zielbeleuchtung, Blendlaser oder rote Laserpointer. Das Licht grüner Laserpointer wird durch Frequenzverdopplung aus einem infraroten Laserstrahl erzeugt.

Lichtausbeute haushaltsüblicher Leuchtmittel

Die in den 2010er Jahren langsam aussterbende Glühlampe ist mit rund 10 lm/W der Halogenlampe mit etwa 20 lm/W unterlegen. Als einziges bezüglich der Lichtausbeute noch entwicklungsfähiges haushaltsübliches Leuchtmittel überholt die LED im gleichen Jahrzehnt bei etwa 100 lm/W die (Kompakt-)Leuchtstofflampe.

Beispiele

Neben der Lichtausbeute ist auch bei vielen weißen Strahlern der Farbwiedergabeindex von Bedeutung.

By Elizabeth Donald
This month was a milestone for me, as my long-running short-story anthology finally went out of print after 15 years and I sold my last copy at a book signing in Memphis.
Setting Suns wasn't my first book, but it was the first to appear in paperback. Way back in the dawn of the ebook era, my first novel Nocturnal Urges came out from Ellora's Cave Publishing, but they only published in ebook (two years before there was even such a thing as a Kindle!). If the ebook did well, they released it in paperback later.
Nocturnal Urges came out and it sold well, won awards and the publisher demanded a sequel despite all the people insisting, "I'll wait until the real book comes out." I kept yelling, "It IS a real book! Ebooks are real books!" Now people look at my paperbacks and say, "I'll get the ebook," and I want to yell, "Where were you in 2005??"
I was working on that sequel when Frank Fradella, founder of New Babel Books, came to me with the idea of putting my short stories into a collection. I'd published a handful of short stories in horror and science fiction magazines that had a disturbing habit of going out of business right after they published me. I was the Typhoid Mary of the small press in the early 2000s. Frank suggested collecting those stories and writing another half-dozen or so just for the collection, and thus Setting Suns was born.
It wasn't my first book. But it was the first time I opened a box of books and saw my name on the cover. Ask any writer about that moment, and see the look in their eyes when they remember.
Setting Suns has been in print for 15 years, give or take, and that's one hell of a good run for a small press collection. It won the Darrell Award for best short story for "Wonderland," a weird little Frankenstein riff told entirely in emails and online chats that gave Frank apoplexy in layout, and contains two of my most popular short stories: "Sisyphus," a tragedy exploring toxic grief and lost love; and "Jesus Loves Me," known as the Evil Teddy Bear story.
The Evil Teddy Bear still exists, here in my office. And there were T-shirts.
But there are other stories that didn't get as much attention. There's "Prisoner's Dilemma," a literal funhouse horror piece that looks at the different kinds of love a person can have for the people in her life, plus crazy man with gun.
There's "Silent," which was one of my very first short stories to be published for money, that smacks of a haunted house as told by The Twilight Zone. There's "Deep Breathing," a future-world submarine scarefest involving a monster several readers have referred to as "Cthulu-esque" which was funny because I'd never read Lovecraft at that point.
There's "Memory Lane," another escapee from Twilight Zone about a husband's desperate search to find his missing wife, and the dark secrets that come to light. That one began as my first attempt at a short-film screenplay, rewritten as a short story for Setting Suns.
There's "Gauntlet," an action-flick of a science fiction story set in my Sanctuary universe that only reaaaaally dedicated readers know about, since it's had a couple of stories published but the novels remain in the trunk until I get them to not suck. Three of the Setting Suns stories are set in Sanctuary, but "Gauntlet" is my favorite.
There are even two stories that would qualify as "literary" with no SFFH elements whatsoever, though entering an MFA program and exploring literary fiction was the absolute last thought on my mind in the waning years of my twenties.
After 15 years, Setting Suns was still the "entry drug" for Elizabeth Donald fiction. Long-time readers sometimes tell me it's their favorite of my titles (which is a little humbling since I've published maybe fourteen books and novellas since then, give or take a few).
I'm gonna miss the old girl.
I want to thank Shane Moore, current publisher of New Babel Books, for working with me to put Setting Suns out of print with grace.
I also want to thank Frank Fradella, who is no longer with New Babel Books, for his contributions to making Setting Suns what it was. The book was Frank's idea, and his editing, layout and design coupled with the cover art from Darren Holmes made a wonderful book that I was proud to call my first.
Thanks also go to Jason R. Tippitt, who co-authored one of the stories with me ("I Live With It Every Day") and served as sounding board and inspiration through much of the book's development. I very rarely work in partnerships – I don't play well with others – and it is a testament to Jason's patience and skill that our story turned out well. The book was dedicated to Jason, who is a fine writer and I hope you'll hear more from him in times to come.
It's been a terrific run for my first "real" book, at least as far as I'm concerned. I hope you enjoyed the ride.

Most parents want to look after their children's teeth in the best way possible but often find the advice given confusing or difficult to follow. In this blog post we set out to explain in simple terms the easiest way to look after children's teeth, prevent future problems and keep visits to the dentist to the absolute minimum.
Children have smaller mouths than adults, clearly and so need to have a smaller toothbrush. If you try to clean a child's mouth with an adult's brush you will find that you will be missing parts of their teeth, particularly right around the back teeth. Use a child's toothbrush with a pea sized amount of Children's toothpaste. Children's toothpaste has a reduced amount of fluoride compared to adults toothpaste, this ensures that your child does not receive too much fluoride.
Brush your children's teeth twice per day. Up until the age of 7 we recommend brushing your children's teeth for them and then supervising after this age. When you brush clean for 30 seconds in each quadrant, top left, top right, bottom left and bottom right ensuring that you clean the biting surface, tongue side and cheek side of your Children's teeth.
The whole process should take 2 min and this should be done twice per day.
Maintaining a healthy diet is important for overall body health as well as dental health, but the two are linked. The simplest piece of advice, and probably the most important, is to watch the amount of sugar that your child has in their diet. It's not just the added sugar (such as on cereal in the morning) it's the hidden sugar in so many food items particularly fizzy drinks and processed food. A good way to monitor this is to use the governments sugar smart app which we have blogged about in the past.
Sugar is so damaging because it feeds the acid excreting bacteria which cause dental decay. Limiting the amount of sugar your child eats will have a dramatic effect on tooth decay.
We would say that, wouldn't we! But it's true, your dentist is able to detect the early warning signs of gum disease and dental decay before you will notice it at home. They can advise on your child's oral health care routine and let you know if there are areas that you are missing whilst you are cleaning. It's extremely important to ensure that your child's over all dental health remains in good condition throughout their lives, and this starts from an early age.
Many people mistakenly believe that because children lose their teeth that they don't need to worry about looking after them…… they will get a new set after all. This is a misconception, the habits that we form at an early age will continue into later life. If your children don't have a good oral health care routine with their baby teeth, why would they change that routine and habit when they lose their baby teeth? The reality is that they won't and those same bad habits will continue through to the adult teeth… Which don't get naturally replaced.
For further advice and information please request an appointment with our dental hygienist at our practice in Harrow, we'll be happy to answer any questions and give you advice on your own dental health care routine.

Have your teeth become crooked again after having braces when you were younger?
One of the most common reasons for patients visiting the dentist for teeth straightening is relapse after having orthodontics when they were younger. Patients often find that once they stop wearing their retainers that their teeth can begin to move back to where they were before. Coupled with the fact that as we get older our teeth have a tendency to drift forwards and become more overcrowded.
So if you find that your teeth are becoming more crooked again, after having orthodontics as a child, then you are not alone.
The European Society of Aesthetic Orthodontics (ESAO) recognises the need for a variety of orthodontic treatments of this nature and ensures that its members provide a qualified, informed choice for patients when considering this type of treatment, Dr Nishan Dixit is pleased to be a member of the ESAO and can offer you a wide range of orthodontic options from his dental practice in Harrow.
As the name suggests Six Month Smiles offers orthodontics which take, on average, six months to achieve the new look. The system is fixed using tooth coloured wires and brackets to ensure that no one else knows that you have braces fitted. As with most of these aesthetic orthodontic options Six Month Smiles is only used to straighten the front six teeth, often known as the social six.
Read more about six month smiles.
This is a removable appliance, which utilises a revolutionary spring design which both pushes and pulls at the same time depending on where we want teeth to move. The brace can only move your front six teeth by gently de-rotating them and then realigning them. Unlike six month smiles you can take out an Inman Aligner, you need to resist this temptation as much as possible and ensure that you wear your aligner for around 20 hours per day, simply removing it to eat, drink and clean your teeth.
One of the big advantages with the Inman Aligner is due to the revolutionary technology in the springs which enable it to move your teeth very quickly, often in around 12 weeks. If you have a short period of time to have your teeth straightened then the Inman Aligner could be your ideal option.
Read more about Inman Aligner.
This technique is similar to 6 month smiles in that it utilises fixed orthodontics to move your teeth into their new positions. The system also utilises almost invisible orthodontics with clear braces in some instances. This makes Cfast one of the most versatile orthodontic systems around meaning you get the best teeth, straightening result with the minimum amount of hassle.
Read more about C fast.
Clear Aligners are exactly that, completely clear. They work by moving your teeth a small amount at a time. You will be provided with a series of aligners which you will typically wear for about two weeks each. Each aligner puts a small amount of pressure on your teeth to move them or rotate them to their new position. Once your teeth have moved a tiny amount you will replace the aligner with the next one in the series.
The art with using clear aligners is for your dentist to choose exactly the right amount aligners for your particular case to ensure that your teeth move gently into their new positions.
Many people like clear aligners as they are virtually invisible to the naked eye, this means that if you have a high profile job or are in the public eye you can have straighter teeth with no one else knowing!
Adult Orthodontics are one of the most popular cosmetic treatments requested by patients in many dental practices around the UK, and certainly, this is the case at our practice in Harrow, Middlesex. By offering you a range of treatments and being members of the ESAO you can be sure that you are offered something which fits not only your budget but your exact dental requirements.
We strongly recommend that you keep an open mind with regards to treatment, the descriptions listed above are relatively simple and there are additional requirements for each of them to be used. It may be that your dental situation is more suited to one system than another. So going to your dentist with an open mind allows you to be free to choose the best option to you.
Blue Court Dental Centre offer a free consultation, with our treatment co-ordinator, for anyone wishing to find out more about aesthetic orthodontics for teeth that have moved after having braces as children. Simply complete the download here to request your appointment.

Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, especially at bedtime. You should clean them for 2 minutes, making sure you brush every surface of each tooth – be thorough but not forceful as you can cause damage to your teeth and gums.

A Metro Blue Line train struck a woman entering a track at Long Beach Boulevard and 10th Street late Sunday morning, according to L.A. Metro spokesperson Dave Sotero.
Sotero said the woman entered the track, stepping onto the path as the train was heading northbound.
The woman suffered "multiple traumatic injuries," and was transported "in serious condition" by the Long Beach Fire Department to a local hospital, LBFD spokesperson Brian Fisk said.
The incident temporarily interrupted normal train service around 10:05 a.m. but resumed at 11:30 a.m. In the meantime, Metro provided a temporary shuttle to transport commuters from the Anaheim Station to Downtown.
Editor's note: This story was updated with the condition of the woman's injuries.

Mendocino County Social Services staff along with the Sheriff's office, legal aid, and other resource agencies will meet Friday with residents of the Creekside Cabins to discuss what's next. A sinkhole has cut off access to those cabins and the county has decided to make a temporary bridge because officials say so far the landlord has not accepted responsibility. The plans include relocation, but housing at that site is varied so plans for potential removal will have to be addressed on a residence-by-residence basis. Meanwhile, County staff, Caltrans, and contractors will be meeting at the site today, to work on logistics for the temporary bridge to allow residents to get off the property. Traffic control measures will be in place at the site on Hwy 101 next week while the bridge is put in, used, and eventually taken out. The County continues to ask people to avoid the area so that staff, resource agencies and contractors can work and provide assistance safely.
The Upper Lake Ranger District in the Mendocino National Fire is starting prescribed burning on 452 acres of hand piles in the Lake Pillsbury area this week.. Fire managers will conduct prescribed fire activities during the safest possible burn windows in the coming months. Before crews are authorized to move forward with burning, wind, humidity, air quality, fuel moisture, and availability of fire crew personnel guildines must be met. Residents and visitors should avoid areas where prescribed fires are being conducted. Though you may see smoke, do not worry because fires are carefully monitored. Local fire and government authorities are told before burn days and kept informed throughout prescribed fire operations. The national forest website has the locations.
President Biden will tour the damage and be briefed on recovery efforts after the series of major storms that hit California in recent weeks. At least 20 people died, and there is damage in 41 of the state's 58 counties. Governor Gavin Newsom, and other federal, state, and local officials will join the trip to Santa Cruz County, where the president will meet with business owners and affected residents. He has declared affected areas a federal disaster area and pledged FEMA will help the state however it can.
Clearlake's new recreation center is getting a big boost. The city is getting 2 million dollars from Washington for the Clearlake Burns Valley Sports Complex and Recreation Center project. Congressman Mike Thompson helped steer that funding through congress, He says the center will have a major impact on the community by encouraging a healthy lifestyle, providing safe activities for youth, and drawing visitors from outside the region. It will eventually include sports fields and a 20,000-square-foot rec center. It will also grow to have retail space, a new county public works yard, and an 80-unit affordable housing project.
Plans for Lakeport to take over an area along South Main Street are over for now. Lake Co News reports that the Lake Local Area Formation Commission has decided to shelve the annexation of 137 acres along South Main near Soda Bay Road east of Highway 29. The idea failed to get a majority of affected property owners in the November election. The city has been eyeing annexation for years to develop the commercial corridor. Now, it will be at least a year before the city can try again. Commission executive officer John Benoit plans to brief city manager Kevin Ingram on what's next
The state is planning a the first of two listening sessions todayto talk about the future of the Clear Lake hitch. The minnow like fish is only found in Clear Lake and its population has dropped significantly over the years. It has been an endangered species since 2014. The hitch is traditionally important to several indigenous Pomo Indian tribes in the region, both spiritually and as a food source. It is also important to the lake ecosystem. The Zoom session is from 1:00 to 3:00 and you can find how to access on the State Water Resources Board website. There will be another virtual session on February 1st from 6:00 to 8:00 PM. The Board hopes to develop both short and long term plans to protect the Clear Lake hitch.
Coastal tides will be extremely high –and extremely low this weekend due to a phenomenon called King Tides. King Tdes occur when several astronomical events happen at the same time: when there's a new or full moon when the moon is closest to the Earth, and when the Earth is closest to the sun, The tides are not related to the recent storms or climate change, but experts say they could be a glimpse at what the coast could be like if sea levels continue to rise. A project from the California Coastal Commission hopes to document the tides. The commission would like people to—safely–take pictures of the tides and submit them. You can find out more about the tides and the project on the Coastal Commission website.
One of the oldest people in the world lives in our own backyard. With the death of 116-year-old Sister Andre in France this week, Edie Ceccarelli of Willits has moved up to third place on the world super-centenarian list. She will be 115 on February 8. She recently became the oldest living US Citizen. Officials hope to have a drive-by parade in her honor on her big day in a couple weeks. When she was born, Teddy Roosevelt was President, and World War 1 was 6 years in the future.
Plans for a new headquarters for the Lake County Sheriff's office emergency Operation center at the former Armory in north Lakeport are moving ahead. Congressman Mike Thompson has helped secure almost a million dollars in the latest federal budget to help pay for the project. The county is swapping some property on 18th Avenue in Clearlake for the Armory property on Hoyt Avenue next to the county jail. The congressman says the new HQ will help the county respond better to wildfires, floods, landslides, and other natural disasters. The initial work will include a new roof and HVAC system, weatherization, and accessibility alterations. Eventually, the plan is to have most of the department operations at the repurposed armory. The property the city swapped on 18th Avenue is being developed for emergency housing.

Deciding to work with a software consulting company is no small matter. Bear in mind the following points during the process, and make an optimal decision.
Running businesses with the growing complexity of the market is causing IT consulting companies to become an increasingly popular option, not only because these firms can present a solution to problems through an impartial view of the business but because they have a broad level of expertise.
Due to the rising demand, it is relevant to make the perfect choice when deciding to outsource services, and the number of options to select from may become very high, which causes making the optimal choice a more complex task.
For this reason, being careful and meticulous in making this choice becomes necessary. How do you make the best decision? Keep in mind these following tips.
The first step to take is analyzing your company's situation, problems, needs, and challenges to overcome. If you do not understand it yourself, then getting the IT consulting firm to comprehend what your requirements are will definitely be impossible.
To define exactly what you need, there are certain questions you should ask yourself: What is the main problem to solve and its causes? What consequences can result from those problems? What are your expectations? What are the goals you want to achieve in the mid-long term?
Once you have answered all those points, you can start looking into what expectations the consulting company must fulfill. Do not forget to think about things, such as what size the organization should be, what skills and knowledge the consultants must have, and how much experience is needed to carry out the project.
The main benefit of working with an outsourcing company rather than doing it on your own is the ability to combine different knowledge and expertise of each company.
As the consulting organization is hired to provide advice, it is an absolute requirement that they must have plenty of experience and be specialists in the field in order to give the best consulting service. As a result of this business relationship, you will not only be able to solve problems better, but you will also learn a lot and absorb the other company's knowledge for the future.
A good indicator to certify the software consultant's level of excellence and performance is to inquire about the success stories they have had. If the company can demonstrate they have good references from other clients, and above all, on issues similar to yours, that is a good sign that can assure you that the firm can successfully overcome any challenge that arises.
Given this point, it is important to consider whether you prefer a generalist company or one specialized in a particular subject. Even though hiring an organization that is a specialist in your industry may sound like the safest option, a generalist firm has much more experience working with all types of companies. Considering not every need is solved in the same way in the same industry, choosing an IT consulting company with diverse knowledge will probably be more beneficial.
While hiring a consulting firm can bring many economic benefits in the future, in the short term, it means a significant expense to be faced. That is why costs must be taken into account when deciding which firm is more convenient.
However, a common mistake is just hiring the cheapest company. This decision can result in less experience in software development business, and therefore, a risk that the organization's work is inefficient. For this reason, it is best to look for an IT firm with the most valuable cost–benefit ratio within the limits of the budget established in advance.
Content related: Software quality or price: which one really matters?
The key to a successful business relationship is having open communication between the parties so that you can explain in detail what your specific needs are, and they can also give you their honest and impersonal opinion. But the most important thing is that the IT consulting firm has the ability to listen, good communication skills, and pays attention to your requirements. It is essential for the consultants to have a thorough understanding of your scope and demands in order to provide you a real and effective solution.
Whether the partnership is lasting or not, it is crucial that the people in both companies have a comfortable and trustworthy relationship, which is why interpersonal relationships should be given special importance.
If there is an honest bond between the two of you, you will work in a more pleasant environment, and you can rely on the consultants to handle your most private and sensitive matters with complete confidentiality.
Deciding to work with an IT consulting firm is no small matter, and choosing the ideal company to hire is not an easy task. Therefore, the choice must be made sensibly, and you should consider several decisive aspects to determine which organization is the most appropriate. If you bear in mind the points mentioned above during the selection process, the chances of making the optimal decision will be much greater.

The lactase enzyme digests the sugar molecule lactose into simpler molecules called glucose and galactose. Lactose is commonly found in dairy products, so those who do not have the enzyme lactase suffer from lactose intolerance. The lactase enzyme is naturally produced by the cells that line the small intestine. It is also produced by the bacteria that live in the small intestine. Humans who do not have lactase can get it by taking supplements. They can get the lactase enzyme in the form of a pill, or by eating probiotic bacteria that will then live in their intestine and produce lactase.
Human milk contains high amounts of the sure lactose, which is digested by lactase into glucose and galactose. However, 75 percent of adults in the world are lactose intolerant, meaning they experience varying degrees of diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain and flatulence after ingesting lactose. Lactase is produced by the cells that line the small intestine. It is attached to the membrane of these cells and is exposed to the food that is being digested in the intestine. Babies that are born on time, not too early, make lots of lactase and can readily digest milk. However, as they become adults, their small intestine can stop producing lactase altogether resulting in lactose intolerance.
In addition to intestinal cells, certain bacteria that live in the intestine also make the lactase enzyme. Lactose that is not digested by human lactase is digested by bacterial lactase. When bacteria are ingested as part of food (yogurt), the lactase enzyme survives the acid stomach because it is protected by the bacterial cell wall. Once in the small intestine, the bacteria release the lactase enzyme to digest lactose. An intact bacterial cell wall, which surrounds the entire bacterium, and the rate of lactase release are the two factors that determine how well a treatment of lactose intolerance by yogurt ingestion will be.
People who are lactose intolerant can obtain lactase by taking it in the form of a pill or chewable tablet. WebMD recommends that tablets containing 6,000-9,000 IU (international units) should be ingested at the start of a meal. It also recommends adding 2,000 IU of liquid lactase to a 500 milliliter cup of milk right before drinking it. One drawback of lactase pills is that not all lactase preparations -- pills, liquids and brands -- have the same concentration of the enzyme.
In addition to taking lactase pills, people can obtain lactase by eating bacteria that make lactase. The Food and Drug Administration defines probiotic bacteria as "live microorganisms which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host." These bacteria are not pathogens, so that do not make people sick. The three common genera (the plural of genus) of probiotic bacteria are Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Enterococcus. Representative species of each genus are Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium longum and Enterococcus faecalis.

Q: How to get rid of the php wrapping on this sql query I have two tables. One is production table with posts and other is the collection of posts's views.
Once a hour, all post views get grouped together and main production table gets updated. And post's views table gets truncated.
My objective is to get this function into pure SQL, so I could run it inside database engine as scheduled event.
SQL is my weakest point, and I can make it work with SELECT being inside one UPDATE. But if there are two UPDATE queries, then I need some sort of variable.
This is where I started:
<?
# find new views grouped together:
$find_views = db::query("SELECT `post_id`, COUNT(*) AS `post_views` FROM `posts__views` WHERE `date_imported` IS NULL GROUP BY `post_id`;");
while ($view = db::fetch($find_views)) {

    # Update the main production tables views_count column:
    db::query("UPDATE `posts` SET `views_count` = views_count + {$view['post_views']} WHERE `id` = '{$view['post_id']}';");

    # Update the post's views table... but why does it actually needs this update hmm..
    db::query("UPDATE `posts__views` SET `date_imported` = NOW() WHERE `date_imported` IS NULL AND `post_id` = '{$view['post_id']}';");
}

# Trunkate post's views:
db::query("TRUNCATE TABLE `posts__views`;");

I realised, that I can make the code right away optimised, by removing the second UPDATE. And I think I can also remove date_imported completely, as all views get parsed and then truncated.
Which means, that I could most likely do UPDATE ... WHERE (SELECT ...). Only problem is that, I know how to do UPDATE with SELECT in it, for one variable. But since I have $view['post_views'] and $view['post_id'] in the same UPDATE query, then I am hopeless lost.
EDIT
This is not a duplicate to:
MySQL: UPDATE table with COUNT from another table?
As there is no truncate there. It works on the basis, that views table stays as is, with old views in place to calculate each time. I truncate the table, so rows from main table, with no new views is being SET to 0.
EDIT 2
So I have gotten this far:
UPDATE `posts` SET `views_count` = views_count + (SELECT COUNT(`id`) AS `views` FROM `posts__views` WHERE `post_id` = `posts`.`id` GROUP BY `post_id` HAVING COUNT(`id`) > 0)

No thanks to marking this question duplicate. As I cannot find any method to make sure, that other rows, that do not have views do not get set to 0. So the innner-SELECT should come out, and outer-UPDATE should have WHERE clause. In theory like this (but this doesnt' look optimised at all):
UPDATE `posts` SET `views_count` = views_count + (SELECT COUNT(`id`) AS `views` FROM `posts__views` WHERE `post_id` = `posts`.`id` GROUP BY `post_id` HAVING COUNT(`id`) > 0) WHERE (SELECT COUNT(`id`) AS `views` FROM `posts__views` WHERE `post_id` = `posts`.`id` GROUP BY `post_id` HAVING COUNT(`id`) > 0) > 0;

Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed advocates for expansion of national-best Alabama First Class Pre-K program
By jwright May 19, 2020 News Articlesfirst class, news articles, pre-k
Montgomery Mayor Steven L. Reed on Thursday continued his stalwart support of Alabama's world-class, voluntary First Class Pre-K program.
While visiting Providence Early Childhood Learning Academy East, Reed saw First Class Pre-K in action and called for increased investment in the program.
He was joined by Alabama Department of Early Childhood Education (DECE) Secretary Jeana Ross, DECE Office of School Readiness Director Barbara Cooper and Alabama School Readiness Alliance (ASRA) Executive Director Allison Muhlendorf to promote the expansion of the pre-k programs to all Montgomery families.
First Class Pre-K has been ranked as the nation's best for 13 consecutive years, and Governor Kay Ivey has called for the Alabama legislature in its ongoing 2020 session to pass a budget that includes a $25 million expansion for the pre-k program. This would add 160 new classrooms and enable enrollment for an additional 2,889 four-year-olds statewide. The ASRA is supporting this expansion effort.
"Our vision for A New Montgomery calls for creating opportunity for everyone in our community – a place where everyone has the freedom to live, learn and earn," Reed said in a statement. "In doing so, we must invest in programs like this and expand the existing footprint so that all four-year-old children living in Montgomery County have access to Alabama's First Class Pre-K."
A recent study has shown that students who participate in Alabama's First Class Pre-K program are more likely to be proficient in math and reading. Researchers also found that their work indicated "no evidence of fade out of the benefits of First Class Pre-K over time."
According to Reed's office, First Class Pre-K slots are currently available for 40% of four-year-old children in Montgomery. The first-term mayor is partnering with ASRA to expand access to and participation in the program and pre-k in general.
Parents whose child will be 4 years old on or before September 1 can find the link to preregister their child here.
Eligible child care providers — and those who want to become providers — whether it is Montgomery Public Schools, universities, faith-based institutions or other community-based programs, can apply for First Class Pre-K grants through March 13 in an effort to increase access to high-quality, voluntary pre-k classrooms for families in Montgomery and around the state. Organizations interested in becoming Alabama First Class Pre-K providers are also invited to attend an informational workshop with Reed on February 27, hosted by the ASRA. Sign-up access is available here.
Reed has constituently been an advocate for increased access to high-quality pre-k, as demonstrated in his inaugural address after being sworn in as mayor.

The al Qaeda terror organization is using Google Maps to plan precision jihadist attacks across the Middle East, according to a new propaganda video released by al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula that features a former Guantanamo Bay prisoner who has since returned to the terror group after being freed from the prison, according to a new report from a regional media monitoring organization.
Al-Malahem, the media arm of Al-Qaeda In The Arabian Peninsula, or AQAP, released on Friday a propaganda video featuring Sudanese national and former Gitmo detainee Ibrahim Al-Qusi, a onetime financial asset for al Qaeda who was arrested in December 2001 and spent more than 10 years as a convicted terrorist in Gitmo before being released to Sudan in 2012.
Al-Qusi appears to be one of many former Gitmo inmates who returned to the battlefield after being freed from Gitmo.
In the newly released video featuring al-Qusi, "AQAP also documents the training, planning, and execution of a series of operations targeting security forces, checkpoints, and military bases in multiple locations using different tactics including martyrdom operations, commando raids, shelling, shootings, and assassinations," according to a new report from the Middle East Media Monitoring Institute, or MEMRI.
"In the planning of one operation, an AQAP commander used a tablet computer and Google Maps," according to MEMRI, which provided screenshots and full report on the situation to the Washington Free Beacon.
Al-Qusi takes direct aim at the United States and its alliance with the United Arab Emirates, or UAE in the video footage, which calls for new terror attacks.
"After accusing the UAE of leading the war against Islam by building prisons and detention centers where men and women are imprisoned and by killing innocent people in Yemen, the video featured Al-Qusi saying: 'Today, the U.S. is trying to use a new card and a new [pair of] shoes from its [collection]: the government of the UAE and its treasonous army,'" according to MEMRI's research.
The AQAP video honors "dozens of martyred AQAP member" and commends local jihadist fighters in the Abyan province in Yemen for "implementing sharia laws, promoting virtue, preventing vice, and securing the city."
"The video then said that the U.S. was using Arab governments to wage war on the mujahideen, and presented video and audio recordings of prominent jihadi officials and preachers such as late Yemeni-American sheikh and AQAP figure Anwar Al-'Awlaqi and Abu Al-Hassan Al-Bulaidi. Al-Bulaidi is a late official from Al-Qaeda In The Islamic Maghreb who condemned Muslim rulers and accused them of betraying the Muslim ummah," according to MEMRI.

Away from the hustle of the beaches, this early 19th century house has the quintessential Goan 'susegaad' vibe albeit with oodles of style. Comprehensively remodelled into a luxury four bedroom riverside residence for Vivara Homes by Raya Shankhwalker Architects, this villa in Bardez borrows heavily from vernacular building styles while maintaining an eco-sensitive balance.
Cocooned by lush green paddy fields and swaying coconut palms, it offers luxuries of a vacation home along with the comforts of a residential property. The seamless connection between the surrounding landscape and interior spaces is the hallmark of the design. The home is designed to accommodate semi-open large verandahs and balconies at both levels. All spaces connect seamlessly to the outdoors. The property includes a car park, herb garden, staff quarters and a yoga pavilion overlooking a vast swimming pool that is surrounded by lush tropical foliage.

Tracking. Tracking. Tracking. Here's our tips.
Ask. It's that simple. Ask every new prospect how they heard about you and document that in your CRM system or your spreadsheet. If you aren't willing to ask this of your sales team, your receptionist, or your customer service department, don't expect to know your ROI.
Track Conversions. If you are using a lot of online or digital advertising, work with your marketing agency or website developer to customize your website and Google Analytics to help you monitor conversions on those platforms. Track leads to sales in your CRM and sales systems. Understand your cost per conversion and make sure that makes sense when it comes to the bottom line.
Report Regularly. Regularly review and crunch the numbers. Pull reports quarterly, if not more frequently, from your CRM or "how'd you hear about us" spreadsheet, as well as your website analytics, social media stats, and any advertising reports you are provided. Look for trends, set benchmarks ,and adjust your strategies and spends accordingly.
Event Recaps. If you participate in a lot of trade shows, sponsored events, or other activities that are determined annually, make sure you sit down with your team following that show to do a post mortem. What worked, what didn't? Did we generate leads or awareness? Measure what you can, and "feel" the rest. Take notes so you know if you should include it in next year's budget.
Be Flexible. Sometimes you simply cannot show a hard return on investment. Brand awareness, especially in small business, is very intangible. Sometimes you have to rely on the qualitative results of your marketing and advertising efforts.

Some patients need to wear an orthosis long term to help them perform their daily routine of activities. Other patients require orthoses for a short period while healing. But an orthosis will almost always become a very visual part of the individual!
We feel strongly that each individual orthosis should fulfill all of the functional requirements related to the specific pathology and also be aesthetically pleasing.
During your evaluation, be sure to ask your client about their interest and hobbies: What is their favorite colour? What is unique about their personality? How can you custom design an orthosis to personalize it?
1) Offer an appealing colour from our Orfit Colors NS range.
There are 9 different colours. Not shown here: Dominant Black, Bright Pink and Violet.
2) Add coloured straps to the orthosis. We have a wide selection of colours in our product range.
3) Use scrap material and small leftovers from Orfit material to add some nice designs onto their orthosis.
4) Add accessories like buttons, stickers, fake jewels or beads that you find at your local art & craft shop.
You can also use duct tape.
Remember, a patient pleasing orthosis is an orthosis that will get worn; an ugly one just ends up in the drawer.
How did you make an orthosis more attractive? Share your favourite idea in the comments on our Facebook Group!
