The AI robot doctor will see you now
My doctor is an algorithm: 'Medicine has always welcomed new technology'
With the advance of artificial intelligence, medical practises are being overtaken. Could the GP become a relic of a bygone age
Seán Duke
April 13 2017 2:30 AM
'Good afternoon, the AI will see you now." This could be the future of family practice medicine as machines become better equipped to do many of the things that traditionally made up the GP's job description.
Machines have always threatened human jobs, but up to the 21st century they were only a serious threat to repetitive, low-skilled jobs. Times have changed and the higher skilled jobs today are threatened by the advance of artificial intelligence (AI). In the past few years, intelligent machines have begun to perform complex tasks far better and quicker than intelligent, skilled humans.
The 'good GP' we know will always know his patients well; their medical history, their personality, details about their family and their foibles, and will retain this background information and call on it when assessing patients. The good GP would know, for example, that Mr Murphy is probably upset, rather than clinically depressed, because his father died last week and he has no depression history.
However, unlike the good GP, who may be overworked, and stressed by the demands of a busy clinic, computers with built-in AI have an almost unlimited capacity to store information in medical records, and to recognise patterns that may have been missed by the GP. They are also excellent at measuring things, such as blood pressure, and analysing results, such as a routine blood test.
In recent years, scientists working in AI made a breakthrough when they developed software based on the working of the human brain, rather than, as was the case before, sticking to a rigid rule book. This software could learn from the environment, making mistakes, and correcting them, like a child learns. The world saw its first artificial 'self-learning systems'.
There were implications from this for the GP, and other professionals, as suddenly it wasn't just the old story of machines replacing low-skilled workers; their jobs were on the line too. GPs faced the prospect of being confined to a decreasing number of areas where they are still superior to artificial rivals, or worse still, to become redundant; a charming medical relic of a bygone age.
The role of specialist medical consultants – not just GPs – is also coming under threat too from sophisticated 'deep learning systems' which are already outperforming doctors in specialised areas of medicine, says Professor Barry O'Sullivan, director of the Insight Centre for Data Analytics at the Department of Computer Science, in University College Cork, and a leading AI researcher.
"Dermatology is one such field," he says. "A very recent paper that appeared in (research journal) Nature showed that a deep learning system could outperform human dermatologists at identifying skin cancer by quite a margin."
Another area where AI is already better than doctors is radiology, adds O'Sullivan. A radiologist can recognise patterns in scans, based on years of experience. However, no matter how experienced the radiologist, he can't store the amount of scans that AI can, while comparing them to a particular scan in order to assess, for example, the likelihood of a stroke or epilepsy. Meanwhile, there are further reasons for GPs not to be cheerful about the future with plans in the UK, supported by the NHS, to use smartphones to bypass the GP clinic altogether. A pilot scheme, run by private firm Babylon Health is encouraging people to consult a 'chatbot', equipped with AI, rather than a human being when they contact the 111 non-emergency line.
Patients key in symptoms, and AI determines how urgent each case is, and whether the user should be told to go straight to A&E, the chemist or simply go home to bed. The AI system makes decisions based on 300 million pieces of information, and the company says trials have shown the system is faster and more accurate than doctors. Certainly, most experts agree the future of medicine is 'personalised medicine', with disease treatments being tailored to suit personal needs. This is an area that AI excels, as it is very good at looking at medical data and finding specific treatments for patients which can, in some cases, even save their lives.
"For example, organisations such as Cancer Commons have assisted cancer patients survive conditions that were regarded as fatal in their situations by combining AI with extremely rich and individual-level data," says Prof O'Sullivan. "The founder of Cancer Commons, Marty Tenenbaum, is one such survivor."
Brendan Kelly, professor of psychiatry at Trinity College Dublin, says: "Computers and electronic diagnostic aids are delivering more and more information every year in medicine. And it is likely that computers and other devices, with their essentially infinite data storage and pattern recognition abilities, will continue to add increasing value to medical care.
He adds: "AI is especially useful in diagnosis: recognising skin lesions, monitoring measurable indices of body function, and identifying known patterns of symptoms and signs.
"It is less useful for other dimensions of medical care: contextualising findings in the context of the patient's life, moving from recognising a pattern to agreeing a narrative between doctor and patient, and providing reassurance.
"AI is also less useful for picking up on the unexpected elements in a patient's presentation: noting, for example, that a patient presenting with a lesion on his ear also has swollen ankles. Or noticing that someone with chest pain smells strongly of alcohol at 11 in the morning and might have an alcohol problem (which might or might not be related to the chest pain). Or noticing that a woman who comes to have a prescription renewed brings along her child, whom the nurse remembers has missed a vaccination, and can receive it today."
Kelly isn't worried about his job just yet though.
"Medicine has always welcomed new technologies and benefited hugely from them: stethoscopes, x-ray machines, MRI. But these tools amplify the effectiveness of healthcare professionals, rather than replacing them."
The doctor will still see you now
Dr Mark Murphy, GP, and chair of Communications with the Irish College of General Practitioners, responds:
"It is unlikely that AI will make a meaningful difference in the GP setting, given the significant human factors at play in a consultation.
"There is a requirement for the GP to conduct face-to-face consultation to develop a rapport, to physically examine a patient and read nonverbal cues."
"AI systems cannot get rid of the complex uncertainty and greyness at the heart of the undifferentiated presentations to General Practice.
"However, AI and machine learning will help with the handling of information in the healthcare system, and may be able to assist with complicated 'black and white' diagnostic process, such as imaging or to make sense of the complex genomic factors with rare-disease treatment."

Home/News/Important Day: Anniversary of Attack on Dubrovnik
Important Day: Anniversary of Attack on Dubrovnik
October 1st marks the anniversary of the first attack on Dubrovnik in 1991 as part of the Serbian-Montenegrin aggression on Dubrovnik. The then Yugoslav National Army (JNA) led by Serbian and Montenegrin recruits began bombarding the city at 6am on the morning of the 1st of October 1991. With an army of 11,000 to 13,000 troops together with air support and 11 tanks, the JNA set about trying to occupy the south of Croatia. Thanks to 750 armed volunteers from mostly the Dubrovnik area, the Serbian-Montenegrin forces suffered losses on the first day of their aggression.
The Konavle area to the south of Dubrovnik was entered on October 5th by JNA forces along with Slano to the north of the city. By the end of October their troops had reached the outskirts of the City, which was by that point without water, electricity and regular food supplies and home to around 50,000 people. The brave defenders of Dubrovnik successfully prevented the JNA's troops from entering the City.
November and December of 1991 marked the most difficult months in Dubrovnik's centuries long history. During the aggression on the City 184 defenders, 92 civilians were killed and more than 1,500 injured. Many cultural monuments were damaged as well as commercial and residential buildings, leaving 7,771 families without homes.

It is just my luck. The temperature last night was a petunia-freezing 27 degrees in BCS, Texas. That means I am going to need to find something other than pole dancing to make extra money. It's too cold to dance around a pole with limited fabric on your body.
I sent out a resume for a job as a shepherd but retracted it when I found out it was an outdoor position. I have not heard back because I don't get out much, but I think I am still being considered for a hermit position.
I was thinking of applying for this job I saw today on a travel site. You get to live on a Greek Island in the Aegean Sea and take care of 55+ cats. I like the living on the island part with a clowder of cats. The fact that cats tend to be nocturnal so sleep is limited is a deal breaker. I also did not apply because over 40,000 others did apply.
Did you know that a group of cats may also be called a glaring, a cluster or a clutter? Those three adjectives seem to describe a group of felines more accurately that a clowder. Especially 55+ furry felines wanting food and affection. Nevertheless, the island part sounded good.
Look! Here is a job I can apply for – Professional Porch Sitter and Cocktail/wine Sipper – also known as Professional Chair Occupier and Cocktail/wine Sipper. Multiple positions available! Who's with me?

It's the last time the BBC will be covering it, so yes, this is their last chance to wear a stupid hat in the grand tradition of Royal Ascot and get in to the BBC news archives.

Individual rights are not subject to a public vote; a majority has no right to vote away the rights of a minority; the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by majorities (and the smallest minority on earth is the individual)
Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.
The most fundamental fact about the ideas of the political left is that they do not work. Therefore we should not be surprised to find the left concentrated in institutions where ideas do not have to work in order to survive.
Baroness Thatcher
If you lead a country like Britain, a strong country, a country which has taken a lead in world affairs in good times and in bad, a country that is always reliable, then you have to have a touch of iron about you.

Synbra Technology bv is currently finalizing the certification of the world's first particle foam to receive a Carbon Neutrality verification in compliance with the PAS 2060 standard. BioFoam® is a fully bio-based particle foam made from renewable resources.
BioFoam® is a PLA based foam. Already starting up in 2006, Synbra Technology invented, developed and patented this unique material. Through its converting companies, Synbra Group wants to become the leading supplier of sustainable and biodegradable particle foam.
Synbra Group companies, such as IsoBouw, Synprodo, Plastimar and Styropack, are already using the BioFoam material in series production for the white goods sector, ice cream packaging and the pharmaceutical sector, amongst others. Besides its own production facilities, Synbra is setting up a network of pioneering partner companies in the USA, the UK, Italy and in other European countries and is seeking coverage in strategic markets. The existing distribution and production network already offers BioFoam® moulded products as a valuable and sustainable addition to the existing range of particle foam products.
Based on renewable resources, BioFoam® is extremely environmentally friendly. After use BioFoam® can be either re-formed into a new foam product or recycled into solid PLA. Besides that it's got the unique possibility to be fully composted. Since 2009 BioFoam is a C2CCM (Silver) certified foam – the first foam to obtain this certification. It is already used in many applications and has become a driven product innovation within many industries (refer to the cases below). Some recent applications are Alabastine (Akzo Nobel) trays for tubes (DIY market), Zandonella ice-cream box (Germany), Greeny ice-cream box (Italy), Cryostore (cold chain boxes), IsoBouw (Deco- Bio) and Termokomfort (BioFoam pearls).
During composting biodegradable blends of fossil and bio-based plastics on the market still may release fossil CO2, this is not the case for BioFoam®, which is fully bio-based. It was the first foam to be awarded the Cradle to CradleCM certificate and has also received a material health certificate from EPEA-Hamburg certifying that BioFoam® is free from any CMR substance.
Unlike any other particle foam on the market, only CO2 (taken from the atmosphere) is used as a blowing agent. No VOC's are emitted during production. BioFoam is a certified food-approved material. Without addition of a flame retardant it meets the Euro class E fire standard.
Based in Etten-Leur in the Netherlands, Synbra Technology bv is the in-house polymerisation and 'Technology & Innovation' R&D facility and the centre of excellence in materials and product development in the Synbra Group. In Western Europe, Synbra Group is a player with regard to particle foam for Sustainable Insulation Systems and Industrial Products & Solutions for a wide range of markets. Synbra Holding BV achieves a turnover of € 250 million with around 800 employees and has converter plants in the Netherlands (Synprodo and IsoBouw), Germany (IsoBouw), Denmark (Styropack and Styrolit) and Portugal (Plastimar).

This summer got hot hot hot!
The perfect day for Dalston's first swim!
He did really well. And it was the cutest to see him practice his first doggie paddles at the beach.
Days like this are for popsicles and the beach!
We put our Christmas presi pop maker to work when I discovered that Bionade my favourite German organic drink from back home, is now available in Australia.
We made some "pure" Bionade pops and some with frozen yoghurt inside!
They all happen to create those BIG smiles on our faces. What a happy day!
Bionade is a German organic soft drink, with very little sugar but lot's of good ingredients.
It's low in sugar, is free from preservatives, colourants and artificial flavours, is suitable for vegetarians and vegans and is gluten free! It contains plenty of good stuff like calcium and magnesium and is without the bad ones; it's low in sodium and phosphorous free.
It's brewed like beer but non-alcoholic.
You all know by now I am a bit of a hippy and eat mainly organic, vegetarian food, so this is right up my alley.
It's very popular in Berlin and really reminds me of a great Summers over there.
I was drinking Bionade all the time, it's amazing for the warm season.
Happy days! It has a cute little story too that I always liked.
I have never been fan of super sweet and sticky soft drinks, so this was made for me.
Luckily they supplied us with different flavors so we won't get bored. My favourite is "Holunder" flavor, which is German for "Elderberry" . We are now both slightly addicted.
I am thinking of starting up paddle boarding, which would be great for Dalston too now that he can swim. I love summer!
yum! beach and popsicles! my kind of day!

Q: How can I put this up and have text height the height of the screen? I have this site:
link
I put a picture to understand better what I want to do.
http://i61.tinypic.com/2hzpgee.png.
I have a div on the right and I want to be positioned above but do not want to be "position: fixed".
Div that I want to be as height Screen height.
This is code CSS:
    @media (min-width: 1200px) {
      /* line 7, ../scss/_content.scss */
           #primary.content-area,
           #main-content {
                float: right;
                width: 50%;
               }
          .right{
               float:right;
               width:25%;
               height:100%; //I add this code line but not working.
              }

    }

If you put "position: absolute; top: 0; right: 0;"you've seen that does not look good at all.The site is made with bootstrap, is there a class to do this?
Can you help me to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance!

A: use vertical-align:top; and float:right; in a div to achieve your goal
edit:
use
.right{float:right;
  vertical-align:top;
  height:100vh;
  margin-top:-40px;
  padding-left:10px;

sunday at Japanese garden, bliss. | escaped.
sunday at Japanese garden, bliss.
So I was looking for places in Hiroshima I haven't been to yet, since he came here last weekend and I wanted to bring him somewhere nice besides restaurants and Miyajima and shopping malls.
I've been to Miyajima SIX times, Diamond City TEN times, Genbaku Dome FOUR times and practically every shopping mall in Hiroshima City at least twice. There's no way I'm going to any of those places for a romantic weekend.
While I was browsing the net, I found this.
The website looks so tempting so we went there :) It wasn't so hard to reach though, the quickest way is to take a tram (Line 1, 2 or 6) from Hiroshima Station till Hacchobori and switch to Line 9 to Shukkeien-Mae. The entire journey only costs 150 yen.
Me and my failed jump attempt.
I swear we saw crabs crawling everywhere.
Super poyo pose. Please don't judge. We're not usually like this.
A small charming Japanese garden in a packed city.
I'm so glad we went there, it was so peaceful and calm. What a great way to spend a Sunday; strolling around garden in a 4-inch heels. Haha. I couldn't feel my feet when we reached home.
And we had lunch at Teratai Restaurant, an Indonesian restaurant in the city. The service was getting better than the last time we went there, thank God. And the food too!
All in all, the perfect weekend.
i got it for only 1000 yen :D its venti anni.

Conservation case study: Ainu hunting quiver
What might appear to be dirt on an object can convey important information about its life prior to acquisition by the Museum. Conservators are always aware that such dirt might help recount the object's story to us. For instance, the encrusted soot on an Ainu hunting quiver has revealed a fascinating account of the people and history that surround the object.

The quiver was purchased for the Pitt Rivers Museum at the 1910 Japan-British Exhibition in London, for which a group of Ainu delegates were brought to live on-site as representative colonial subjects of the Japanese empire. Displays of people in reconstructions of their traditional homes, were popular in international fairs at the turn of the century.
During an assessment in the conservation department, the team noted that the object had numerous signs of wear and repair which suggested its long-term use, such as repairs to the torn bearskin shoulder strap. Most curious of all was a dark-coloured encrustation of soot covering a large part of the object's surface and the two distinct layers of willow shavings wrapped around the quiver: a soot-covered under layer and a fresher upper layer. Such willow shavings are considered to have been inau, a term to describe something used as a channel between spirits and people in Ainu cultural practice.
Subsequent consultation with the Historical Museum of Hokkaido (Hokkaido Kaitaku Kinenkan) in Japan, informed us that similar encrusted soot had been found on other historical hunting quivers. It was considered possible that the accumulated soot could originate from the quiver being stored above a kitchen fire, where traditionally a shelf was located in historical Ainu houses.
A series of hunting bans had been imposed on the Ainu by Japanese authorities from the mid-1800s. With hunting a vital part of the economy, the bans had a serious impact on the Ainu people, who attempted to gain a reversal of the measures. The hunting apparatus may have been stored in the Ainu home for an extended period of time, accumulating soot and cooking fat, waiting for the time when it could be used again.
Conservators endeavour to find ways of analysing materials without the removal of samples from an object. However, sometimes this is not possible. In this case, three small samples, each the size of a pinhead, were taken from discrete areas of the quiver's surface. The samples were analysed in an attempt to identify fat content and kitchen soot. Sadly, the results were inconclusive, partly due to contamination of the object's surface by pollutants since its acquisition.
The hypothesis of the soot bearing witness to the historical experience of the Ainu community remained a strong factor to be taken into consideration when deciding on the conservation treatment for the quiver. Intervention should be kept to a minimum so as to leave any significant historical deposit intact. Fragile elements, such as the severely splintered sillow shavings (inau) and unraveled bark bindings, were stabilised as they were vulnerable when handled. A custom-made storage box with an internal support was also made for the object, to minimise handling when the object is studied.
The condition of the two layers of inau remains in question. It seems possible that the Ainu delegate who owned the quiver may have wrapped a new layer of inau over the old layer in order to renew its efficacy in ensuring their safe sea voyage to Britain. The object may reflect in some part the personal experience of the Ainu delegates at the Japan-British exhibition, whose own voices left little mark in the written records.
A total of 126 hours was spent working on the quiver, with 26 hours on conservation treatment and 100 hours on research.

Q: Which Files Does boot-repair Copy To Windows? After re-sizing and moving some partitions around with GParted from a Live USB I was dropped to grub rescue.
I used boot-repair to re-install grub but I ended up with 2 entries for Windows 10 like this question.
Previously I only had one entry and Windows booted fine.
I can currently boot into Ubuntu but neither Windows option from grub gets me to my Windows desktop.
If I boot from the second entry (main Windows partition) it says winload.exe is missing or corrupt (the file does exist so maybe the latter).
If I boot from the first entry (system reserved partition), Windows appears to boot (the Windows boot logo appears and it seems to boot) but then I am left with a black screen with a mouse pointer instead of the login screen.
Windows startup repair can't fix it.
I suspect that the files that boot-repair has copied to the Windows partitions have made them appear corrupt to Windows 10.
What is the list of files that boot-repair copies to Windows?

Scottish author Quentin Jardine has been creating his well received 'Bob Skinner' books for a number of years now to much acclaim. A well established author, his writing is known for its populist and ever accessible appeal. This is especially the case with his Bob Skinner novels which focus themselves on the eponymous detective chief constable based in Scotland. Working Edinburgh, the senior policeman is a strong protagonist with a sturdy set of roots based within his Scottish heritage. With over twenty-four books in the series so far, it's been a long-running franchise that's gained a huge following over the years. This has allowed the detective himself to develop over the duration of these many novels.
The books themselves follow the conventions set within the police procedural and crime genres, yet they update it to focus around Scotland. They're also made relevant to the many contemporary issues facing the police today, something which the readers have come to appreciate. With more novels set to come from Jardine in this series, it looks like he doesn't have plans to stop anytime soon. With them look set to continue into the foreseeable future, it looks like there's a lot of life yet for this particular detective.
Skinner's Trail
Originally published by Jardine in 1994, this marks the third book in the Bob Skinner series, as it features the detective really coming into his own here. Already with two cases behind him, this shows him already well established with a well thought out arc presented behind him. As a way of further enhancing his world too, it really works in developing the character of the now familiar protagonist. Not only that, but it also allows readers easy access for those looking to break into the series for the first time, or anybody that simply wants a casual read of a good solid mystery.
Set in nineties Scotland, it really is a book of its time, whilst still being accessible today just as it ever was. Oblivious to his home-life, Bob is a methodical detective that can instantly see what's going on with any given case as he studies every single detail, but he can't see what's happening right under his nose. This causes him too have little personal life, thus allowing some fairly major twists occurring when he least expects it. Bob Skinner may be an extremely diligent and hard-working intelligent individual, but he's not without his faults that could lead to his downfall. Following the birth of his son it's a joyous occasion for Bob Skinner as he brings a new life into the world, but no sooner than he's born there's a murder in Edinburgh of the most gruesome kind that's occurred in one of the more affluent suburbs. Found knifed within his luxury villa, the owner of a chain of laundrettes, pubs and saunas located throughout the entire city is discovered dead. There is some suspicion within the police force though that this could be a front for a major drug distribution network though. Moving between the north of Spain over to Scotland and back again, Skinner is sent on a trail as he uncovers the truth behind this mysterious death.
Will Skinner be able to solve the case before it's too late, or will the killer be able to escape evading justice in the process? Can Skinner protect himself and will he have time to focus on his family now a new life has come into the world? What will become of Bob Skinner and what is truth behind this shadowy business as he soon embarks on Skinner's trail?
Gallery Whispers
The ninth book in the by now much beloved and highly familiar Bob Skinner series, it was initially published in 1999 to a warm reception. With the character already firmly established by Jardine, this is well grounded as a story helmed by an author who is confident with his material. Providing another mystery, it works as a story for both fans of the series and newcomers alike.
Following on from the eighth novel this sees Bob Skinner this time tackling a terrorist threat in what is to be his ninth installment. Not only that, but there's also a serial killer on the loose threatening the safety of many innocent lives as well. Heading for Edinburgh and the conference featuring the Heads of Government that's expected to converge there, the terrorist has one thing on his mind; destruction. It's now up to Skinner to get on the case and follow the trail, otherwise he could be faced with a major catastrophe of international proportions. Meanwhile there's an apparent suicide, as a woman who was terminally ill is discovered dead, but it soon transpires that she may have been killed leaving mercy killer at large. This all builds leaving a case that takes some personal significance for the detective as he tries not to let his emotions cloud his judgement.
Will they be able to find the terrorist and neutralize the threat he poses not only to Edinburgh, but to the state of international security as well? Can Skinner overcome his own inner more personal turmoil and deal with the case in hand? What will become of them all as they listen to the secrets held within the gallery whispers?
The Bob Skinner Series
This is a series that's been going on for some time now, with numerous novels to date as the character of Bob Skinner shows room for more novels yet to come. Originally appearing in 1993, Quentin hoped he'd have mass appeal beyond the borders of Scotland appealing to readers all across the UK. Not only has he achieved that, but he's also managed to gain international recognition as well. Coming about due to Jardine believing he could do better than some of what came before in the crime genre, he set about creating a character that was to become a firm fixture on the literary scene. This is a trend that shows no signs of abating as he plans to continue the series for as long as possible with plenty more yet to come.

Book(s)
It started in the 80s and it's still going strong today - the Decker & Lazarus series by Faye Kellerman. It's a book series that age well and is a great one to read in 2021. A new book is out in January as well. If you haven't yet, check out the Decker and Lazarus Series. It's a great series and with so many books it will keep you busy for a long time.
A "new to me" author. I just recently started reading Bentley Little and I am HOOKED. The dude is dark and depraved but his ideas and stories are excellent. I don't read much horror but I am going to be reading every book Bently has written. I'd recommend The Store first. Check him out. Like I said though the dude writes some messed up stuff so be cautious if that sort of thing isn't your cup of tea.
Besides short story and novel writing, Clive Barker has been actively involved in screenwriting and film production. His early screenplays include Underworldand Rawhead Rex but after witnessing the disappointing picturization of his work, Barker went on to discover the art of filmmaking on his own. He produced The Forbidden and Salome to lukewarm response. He also directed several of the stories from The Book of Blood. Two of his acclaimed major motion pictures include Candyman series and the Hellraiser.

Woman Doing Handwork belongs to a group of seventeen or eighteen drawings by Gerbrand van den Eeckhout that are similarly executed with the brush in delicately graduated tones of brown wash.1 Except for a sheet with three studies of a dog, all of them represent single figures. Seated or reclining, they read, smoke, perform simple household tasks, daydream, or stare intently at the viewer. Only two depict women: the present example and a study of the same model operating a spinning wheel (Fig. 1).2
Remarkable for their delicate, economical technique, distinctive mise-en-page, and contemplative mood, these singular drawings rank among the outstanding figure studies produced by any Dutch artist in the seventeenth century. Yet none of them are signed or attributable on the basis of a direct connection to a painting or print. Drawings in this group have been ascribed to the Rembrandt pupils Van den Eeckhout, Ferdinand Bol, and Nicolaes Maes; the genre specialists Johannes Vermeer, Gerard ter Borch, Mozes ter Borch, Caspar Netscher, and Quirijn van Brekelenkam; and even to the eighteenth-century French master Jean-Honoré Fragonard.3 The earliest references to them are in the catalogues of two Dutch auction sales of the 1770s, where they are assigned to Van den Eeckhout.4 Two of the drawings were reproduced in facsimile engravings by Jurriaan Cootwijck (1714–1798) and published as works by Van den Eeckhout in Christian Josi's Collection d'imitations de dessins (1821). Finally, as Werner Sumowski and Jane Turner have emphasized, formal and technical features relate these studies to paintings and drawings securely assigned to the artist.5
Van den Eeckhout's broad, pictorial execution and sensitivity to the reserved areas of the sheet recall Rembrandt's brush drawing Study of Hendrickje Sleeping (c. 1655).6 A date in the 1650s was also proposed for Van den Eeckhout's studies until Marieke de Winkel, an authority on seventeenth-century costume, observed that the clothing worn by a youth in one sheet indicated a later origin, around 1670, which could extend to the whole group.7 Peter Schatborn detected the influence on Van den Eeckhout's drawings of the studies in brush and brown wash by the lawyer and amateur draftsman Jan de Bisschop (see 1999.129) .8
The handwork performed by the woman in the Harvard drawing is not clearly represented and has been identified as sewing, knitting, and crocheting.9 While she is most likely knitting, Van den Eeckhout depicted only one needle.10
1 Werner Sumowski (Drawings of the Rembrandt School, New York, 1979, vol. 3, cats. 782x–797x) catalogued sixteen brush drawings in this group. Boy Carrying a Basket in the Städelsches Kunstinstitut, (Annette Strech, with Jutta Schütt, Martin Sonnabend, and Margaret Stuffmann, "Nach dem Leben und aus der Phantasie": Niederländische Zeichnungen vom 15. bis 18. Jahrhundert aus dem Städelschen Kunstinstitut, Frankfurt am Main: Städelsches Kunstinstitut, cat. 49), also certainly belongs to this group. Bearded Figure Wearing a Turban and a Fur Coat (sale, Christie's, Amsterdam, 10 November 1999, lot 337) was attributed to Van den Eeckhout in the catalogue of the sale and might also belong to the group.

In "Letters to the Editor," Harvard Magazine, November–December 1992 and January–February 1993, various correspondents asserted that the woman is knitting.
