Who doesn't love a fat juicy steak? In the comfort of our home, relaxing and eating really good food is one of the pleasures of life; and that evening the pleasure was all ours.
We started with a traditional wedge salad; and for sides, we roasted tomatoes, potatoes and portabellas. We wilted fresh spinach in a wee bit of garlic butter and prepared to cook the 2 inch strip we had chosen. We seasoned it with a lot of S&P and seared it on all sides. Covered the top with a ton of fresh garlic and put it in the broiler till it was medium rare. Sound good? When just done we removed the steak from the broiler and let it rest for five minutes so that the meat could contract and trap all those delicious juices.

Need some helpful advice on how to write a successful book review? You've come to the right place! Here you will find many tips how to succeed. You can even use our custom writing service and buy your book review from us!
How to write a book review is something that many people want to know. When you are going to write a review on a book you are actually evaluating its text content. The right tips will surely help you in writing a perfect and reliable review. First of all, you should not be afraid of providing your own opinion. While reviewing any book you are supposed to provide a proper judgment about it.
You must think about the reason why someone will read the review. The readers will want to know whether the book is worth their money or not. This does not mean that you will write everything positive or everything negative. It is important to keep in mind that you can acknowledge the weaknesses of the book even while writing a positive review. If you point out the faults in the book then this will be definitely be helpful for the readers.
You should develop your criteria about judging the book. This refers to the standards or rules by which the materials in the book can be judged. When you are reading the book find the things that make it stand out. There are several aspects of the contents that should be considered while providing a truthful evaluation. For writing a good review you must always stay neutral. The right criteria will help in determining whether a book is good or bad. Whatever your opinion may be it is essential to provide a backup for it. If you do not back up your opinion then it would not be convincing for the readers. People who will read your review will look for reasons and evidence behind your evaluation of the book. A book may be interesting or boring but you should justify your opinion. Proper support will help the readers to understand your ideas. You can quote different parts of text directly and refer to particular sections and chapters.
You should also consider the readers while writing a review. You must know for whom you are actually writing. It is important to think what the readers want to know and how much of the subject matter they have already known. The way you write will be different for children and adults. The right language is important for people of different age groups. Consider what will sound interesting for the readers. Select simple words that they are aware of instead of complex vocabulary. You message should be delivered in such a way that it will be appreciated by the readers. You also need to write the review with authority. Avoid words or phrases that will sound that you are less confident about what you are writing. Comparing and contrasting are also useful tools of writing reviews about books. You can provide an efficient comparison with other books from the same genre.
The review should also be presented in an organized manner. It must include introduction, synopsis, summary and conclusion. The most important thing is that the entire review should be written in your own language. Knowing how to do a book review properly is extremely important before doing it.

Luc Moullet's Genesis of a Meal
Presented with Semiotexte
Luc Moullet, Genesis of a Meal, 1979, digital projection, 115 mins
Semiotexte's recent publication of The Cinema House and the World, a translation of writings by Serge Daney, is unquestionably one of the most important film books of 2022. Daney was a perspicacious critic, much admired by cineastes—Olivier Assayas, Jonathan Rosenbaum, and Godard among them—but, until now, somewhat underappreciated stateside. On the occasion of this new collection, we're screening a film of particular interest to Daney: Genesis of a Meal by Luc Moullet, one of Daney's fellow writers at Cahiers du Cinéma.
In his essay "Direct Cinema in Six Images," Daney describes Genesis as a "genre film." Its director, he continues, "has always believed that hunger is the only real great subject, because it predates all the others. In his perverse project of illustrating every cinema genre, Moullet had to encounter the militant genre on his route. The film is all the more unstoppable because it has nothing at stake, the point of view being that of absolute knowledge."
Genesis of a Meal, a work that traces the economic and political trajectory of everyday foodstuffs, was emblematic for Daney of a particular tendency in film. Cinema, he declared, "is never on time. And a fortiori, the cinema of intervention, the only kind whose existence depends on taking the time to establish its material, will never be finished on time. The filmmaker thus finds himself in an impossible, even louche situation, one that he might enjoy, regardless of the conventional piety of his discourse." In the case of Moullet, this tardiness meant "having the luxury to finally complete a didactic-militant-and-third-world film right when no one knows what do with one anymore (while everyone wanted one when no one knew how to make them)."
Copies of The Cinema House and the World will be available for sale at the event.
Tickets - Pay what you can ($10 suggested donation), available at door, cash and cards accepted.
Seating is limited. First-come, first-served. Box office opens at 7pm.


December 20, 2008, Makati City. Five feisty breast cancer survivors got together at the residence of Doris Nuval to attend their first ever massage class to ease the discomforts associated with lymphedema. The session was conducted by a big-hearted couple, Carol and Ric Santos who started the class with a lecture on physiology – specifically the human being's lymphatic system and its drainage functions.
The background lecture was conducted by Carol with a living, moving chart as a point of reference – Ric, who assumed the role in good humor. Questions were entertained during the demo to clarify the technical aspects of the subject matter; which Carol answered with authority, citing medical references.
In essence, the lymphatic vessels and nodes are found all over the body but are concentrated in certain areas: the hands and breast, head and neck, armpits and groin (Coping with Lymphedema by Joan Swirsley PN and Diane Sacket Nauverg). For most of us at ICanServe who have had either modified radical mastectomies or lumpectomies, a number of axillary lymph nodes in either or both the armpit and breast areas have been removed; affecting the circulation of fluid in that region. Some unlucky survivors develop lymphedema or the accumulation fluids on the compromised side of their bodies; resulting in a swelling of the area and correspondingly, to extreme discomfort and pain. Some lucky ones, however, have gotten away with it.
massage as necessary or for as long as your husband has the energy to do so.
As one of the complications associated with breast cancer, lymphedema may be prevented through several ways; primarily by avoiding the following: infection and injury, pressure on the involved extremity; constrictive clothing, heat and extra-vigorous activity, and extended use of diuretics. It would also be good to exercise regularly, maintain one's ideal weight and eat healthy food.
Though the sisters present were in different stages of treatment and remission, everyone admitted to being at a certain discomfort level; prodding them to respond immediately to the query posted on our site on lymphedema. According to Carol, therapy for this condition is not yet available in the country; which is why she and Ric volunteered to conduct the lymphatic massage learning session. They learned how to perform this in 2003 from a survivor, Jo Anne Rovig who learned how to do it while recovering from her own breast cancer surgery and who later established her own clinic in Seattle, Washington – the Northwest Lymphedema Center. Jo Anne became the first therapist in the US trained in lymphedema treatment modalities pioneered in Europe and Australia. Carol remembers her as "warm and compassionate, giving up her lunch break to teach us". Upon parting ways, Carol recalls Jo Anne saying "go back to your country and teach and help all our breast cancer survivors-sisters out there!".
And that is precisely what Carol and Ric did.
Hopefully, there will be a second session this first quarter of 2009, as there were a number of sisters who signed up for the class but couldn't make it because of the insanity that comes with the Christmas holidays. ICanServe, a spirited sisterhood like no other, has again accomplished another first in the service of its members. And Carol and Ric are the embodiment of that spirit; paying it forward; lending our special sisterhood an international flavor in the process.

How to spot and avoid phishing scams
TDS offers customers tips to avoid being a victim of phishing scams
Phishing scams are becoming too common. To protect their accounts, TDS Telecom (TDS®) encourages customers to learn how to spot (and avoid) phishing scams. These scams refer to times when criminals lure individuals into a trap in order to steal money; many of these traps are hidden in emails, websites or phone calls that appear legitimate.
"Phishing scams are aimed at stealing consumer's personal information, including financial data (e.g., bank account numbers) and online account information like user IDs and passwords," said Karl Betz, director of Infrastructure, Risk Management & Security at TDS. "It's important consumers realize what phishing scams look like in order to protect their identity."
To avoid being a victim of phishing scams, TDS offers these tips:
Look at the sender's email address. Make sure the email address matches the business that is supposedly sending the email. If they don't match, it is most likely a scam.
Spelling and grammar mistakes. An easy way to spot a phishing scam is to look for poor spelling and grammar. If you are receiving an email from a legitimate company, it's unlikely you'll find errors.
Be cautious of links and/or attachments. If you do not know or trust the sender, do not click the link or open the attachment. In addition, you can hover over links in your email to verify the website matches the link. If the website does not match, there is a chance the link provides cybercriminals with the ability to hack your computer and personal information.
Don't believe the threats. Cybercriminals often use threats such as "your account will be closed if you don't respond." Legitimate companies will not threaten to close an account. In addition, legitimate companies, especially those you do business with, already have your personal and financial information.
If you have received fake emails or phone calls, write down the sender or caller's information and report it to the FTC website.

Maternal HIV-1 viral load and vertical transmission of infection: The Ariel Project for the prevention of HIV transmission from mother to infant
Cao, Yunzhen and Krogstad, Paul and Korber, Bette T. and Koup, Richard A. and Muldoon, Mark and Macken, Catherine and Song, Jia-Li and Jin, Zhanqun and Zhao, Jla-Qi and Clapp, Sheila and Chen, Irvin S. Y. and Ho, David D. and Ammann, Arthur J. and Ariel Project Investigators, the (1997) Maternal HIV-1 viral load and vertical transmission of infection: The Ariel Project for the prevention of HIV transmission from mother to infant. Nature Medicine, 3 (5). pp. 549-552. ISSN 1078-8956
maternalHIV.pdf
Most HIV-1 infections of children result from mother-to-infant transmission, which may occur perinatally or postnatally, as a consequence of breast feeding1−8. In this study, the influence of maternal viral load on transmission of infection to infants from non-breast-feeding mothers was examined using samples of plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) collected at several time points during pregnancy and the 6-month period after delivery. These samples were analyzed by several quantitative methods, including virus cultures of PBMCs and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays for HIV-1 RNA in plasma and DMA in PBMCs. The risk of transmission increased slightly with a higher viral load, but transmission and nontransmission occurred over the entire range of values for each assay. No threshold value of virus load was identified which discriminated between transmitters and nontransmitters. We also noted a significant rise in viral load and a decline in CD4+ lymphocytes in the six months after delivery. These findings suggest that a high maternal viral load is insufficient to fully explain vertical transmission of HIV-1. Additional studies are needed to examine the post-partum increase in viremia.
The Ariel Project is a Pediatric AIDS Foundation Sponsored project. Core Investigators include James Mullins, Bruce Walker, and Steve Wolinsky. Cohort Investigators are Arlene Bardeguez, Marilyn Crane, Celine Hanson, Hunter Hamill, Katherine Luzuriaga, Paul Palumbo, Russell Van Dyke, Susan Widameyer and Andrew Wiznia.

7 takeaways from Mark Zuckerberg's long discussion at Harvard about Facebook
Mark Zuckerberg has a lot on his mind, and he's ready to go off-script... sort of.
By Rachel Kraus February 21, 2019
> Tech
The Facebook CEO returned to his alma mater Wednesday to discuss Facebook and the numerous issues facing the platform. Zuckerberg joined the head of Harvard Law's Berkman Klein Center for internet and society, Jonathan Zittrain, for the chat.
The talk was the first of several that Zuckerberg plans to host, making good on his 2019 personal challenge "to host a series of public discussions about the future of technology in society," which Zuckerberg announced in January.
The two engaged in an earnest and even jovial hour and forty five minute conversation about issues like democracy, privacy, surveillance, misinformation, and more.
Encryption, 'information fiduciaries' and targeted advertisements: Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg sat down with @zittrain for a wide-ranging conversation on privacy, democracy, ethics, and platforms https://t.co/yRjmHS9a2s
— Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society (@BKCHarvard) February 20, 2019
Zuckerberg wasn't exactly candid — the man is talented at hitting Facebook talking points — the conversation was a rare example of some extemporaneous conversation and even apparently genuine thoughtfulness from Zuck.
The CEO didn't exactly share anything new — "I'm not sitting here and announcing a new program," Zuckerberg said at one point while batting around some hypotheticals — but the discussion did provide an opportunity see where his head is on some far reaching issues.
The conversation is, um, lengthy. But you can watch it in full below.
However, if you'd care to keep those 105 minutes of your time, here are seven takeaways from Mark Zuckerberg's discussion at Harvard.
1) Facebook doesn't want to serve you trash
When it comes to the type of content Facebook serves you, Zuckerberg emphasized that he cares more about decisions that will strengthen Facebook over the long term than on short term profits. He said that serving clickbait or manipulative ads could cause people to feel resentful of Facebook. This was a similar sentiment to Zuckerberg's January 2018 announcement that Facebook newsfeed would reprioritize content from and about friends and family.
Then again, all of the videos in the Up Next video sidebar — a preview of the content that Facebook would serve me next —were #relatable meme videos and cooking how-tos.
Give me that sweet cooking content.

Not exactly the high quality content I seek; perhaps there's a difference between how the CEO wants Facebook to operate, and how it actually functions.
2) Zuckerberg isn't kidding about combining (and encrypting) messaging platforms.
Early in the conversation, Zuckerberg made the case for unifying the policies that govern Facebook's messaging platforms. This was an initiative Zuckerberg confirmed during the Q4 earnings call, initially reported by the New York Times.
Zuckerberg and Zittrain engaged in a conversation about the merits and risks of end-to-end encryption. Zuckerberg pointed out that Facebook-owned WhatsApp is all end-to-end encrypted, while Messenger has that option, but encryption is not the default.
"It doesn't make sense to have different messaging platforms with different policies," Zuckerberg said.
And, for the record, he's on Team Encryption.
3) He's a tad conflicted about privacy, though.
For the guy behind this awkward moment, there were relatively few instances during which Mark Zuckerberg managed to put his foot in his mouth. But one came when Zuckerberg apparently forgot about his own video chat product, Portal.
"We definitely don't want to live in a society where there's a camera in everyone's living room watching those conversations," Zuckerberg said while discussing encryption vs. platform monitoring.
Zittrain quickly pointed out that Facebook itself does have a living room video product, which briefly derailed Mark with a blush and awkward laugh. But Zuckerberg specified that since Portal works over Messenger — which Zuckerberg is planning to encrypt — it would be secure; Facebook specified at launch that Portal would not spy on users. Therefore, according to Mark, Portal would not be applicable to the "Orwellian" scenarios that Zittrain had brought up for discussion.
4) Facebook should not be "the arbiter of truth."
One of Facebook's hairiest issues since the 2016 election has been how to mitigate and fight the spread of misinformation on the platform. Zuckerberg and Zittrain discussed several ways for going about this, including fact checkers and other independent bodies. But Zuckerberg was unequivocal: he does not think the power to decide what he described as "the different levels" of truth should rest with Facebook.
"We do not want to be the arbiters of truth," Zuckerberg said.
5) Clear History is still in the works
Zuckerberg said that the tool that would enable Facebook users to scrub the browsing history data that Facebook has on them, called Clear History, is still in the works. But he acknowledged that that capability was proving to be complicated and time consuming.
"The plumbing goes so deep into all the different systems," Zuckerberg explained. That alluded to the truth that Facebook collects so much data from so many places that clearing it all is turning out to be harder than Facebook originally thought.
6) The short term future of Facebook is private messaging and ephemeral stories
Zittrain and Zuckerberg wrapped up the discussion by considering Facebook's future. Zuckerberg said that the way people were already using the app indicated that people wanted to chat and share both more privately, and less permanently.
"There are a lot of things that people don't want as the permanent record, but want to express," Zuckerberg said.
First, that means Zuckerberg and Facebook are very aware of the growth and popularity of messaging apps.
"Over the next 5 years, I think we're going to see all of social networking reconstituted around this base of private communication," Zuckerberg said. "It's something i'm very excited about."
What Zuckerberg thinks is taking the place of public broadcasting via status updates is ephemeral stories.
"Of the type of broadcast content that people are doing, the thing that is growing the fastest is stories —ephemeral sharing," Zuckerberg said. "That just gives you a sense of where the hub of social activity is going."
7) The long term future of Facebook is... wearables?!
The conversation took a strange detour into a high tech future in which Zuckerberg envisioned typing just by thinking and AR-ing everything. Zuckerberg explained that our current app and phone-based system isn't so integrated into the way we naturally communicate, and thinks technology will reshape platforms "to be fundamentally more about people and how we process the world."
What that means for Zuckerberg is more seamlessly integrated hardware with the way we communicate and obtain information naturally. He wasn't so down with Google Glass, but thought glasses — similar to what Zittrain was wearing, Zuckerberg said — would be a good way to integrate technological communication in the future.
So, Snapchat Spectacles?
Looking forward to the next chat, Zuck!

Q: Did I do the inverse of this quadratic function in the correct way? $$n(t)=17t^2-20t+700$$
$$y=n(t)$$
$$y=17t^2-20t+700$$
Switching $y$ and $t$,
$$t=17y^2-20y+700$$
$$t=(17y^2-20y)+700   -(Eq. 1)$$
Completion of squares:
$$\mathbf a=\sqrt{17}y$$
$$\mathbf b=???$$
$$\mathbf 2ab=-20y$$
$$\mathbf b=\frac{-20y}{2\sqrt{17}y}$$
$$\therefore b=\frac{-10}{\sqrt{17}}$$
$$\therefore(\sqrt{17}y-\frac{10}{\sqrt{17}})^2=17y^2-20y+\frac{100}{17}$$
Therefore add and subtract $b^2$ i.e., $\frac{100}{17}$ in $Eq. 1$:
$$t=(17y^2-20y+\frac{100}{17})+700-\frac{100}{17}$$
$$\therefore t=(\sqrt{17}y-\frac{10}{\sqrt{17}})^2+\frac{11800}{17}$$
$$\therefore \pm\sqrt{t-\frac{11800}{17}}=\sqrt{17}y-\frac{10}{\sqrt{17}}$$
$$\therefore y=\frac{\frac{10}{\sqrt{17}}\pm\sqrt{t-\frac{11800}{17}}}{\sqrt{17}}$$
$$\therefore n^{-1}(t)=\frac{\frac{10}{\sqrt{17}}\pm\sqrt{t-\frac{11800}{17}}}{\sqrt{17}}$$
Is my approach and answer correct? And also, I feel completion of squares a little vulnerable to errors. How could have I solved the same without completion of squares?

Dialogue in the Persian Gulf
By David D. Newsom David D. Newsom is associate dean and director of the Institute for the Study of Diplomacy at Georgetown University.
What we are seeing in the Persian Gulf today is a demonstration that what Arab leaders say publicly may represent their true position. For many years, Arab leaders in the Gulf have made clear in public statements their reluctance to see outside military intervention in the area. The Saudis, in particular, have reinforced this by a continuing refusal to grant access to their bases or to permit specific prepositioning of materiel in anticipation of a contingency.
At the same time, US strategists and military planners have come away from conversations with Saudi officials saying: ''They explained to us that they have to say the things they do publicly for political reasons. They lead us to believe, however, that when the chips are down, they will ask us to come in.''
On the basis of such conversations, the United States has developed plans for a Rapid Deployment Force and presidents have spoken of our readiness to intervene in this vital region.
Our dialogue with leaders of other cultures is often clouded by our desire to hear what we want to hear rather than what the others may actually be saying. This has been particularly true in talks between officials and private citizens from the US and Arabs in the Gulf.
The Arab is culturally polite. He likes to please his visitor. He wants, also , to keep his options open. He equivocates courteously and leaves the American with an impression that, at the proper time, he will request help.
The American's sense of the conversation is reinforced by what the American considers the logic of the situation. Surely, says the American to himself, these weak states, faced with the threat of military action by Ayatollah Khomeini's Iran or by the Soviets not far away in Afghanistan, will have to request our military help. That, to the American, is the reality. He discounts public utterances to the contrary.
To the Arab states in the Gulf, there is another logic. The fundamental objective of these relatively weak regimes is to preserve their ruling position and their independence. They feel that they are less threatened today by outside aggression than by internal challenges. They fear the adverse political effects of appearing to be isolated from the Arab mainstream or to be in the ''pocket'' of an outside power.
They also hear and take seriously the public expressions that come from the United States: the strong statements of support for Israel, the opposition to the sale of military equipment to Arab states, the votes in Congress against sending US forces abroad, the US determination to be free of dependence on Middle East oil. They may well fear that, if they did ask for help, help might not come.
At the same time, recognizing their international weakness and their strong economic ties to the West, they do not want to say ''no'' to pressures for cooperation. Their vague responses can be interpreted as the listener chooses.
It is appropriate for the military planner to prepare for every contingency. It is less appropriate for officials to speculate publicly that contingencies in the Gulf will ultimately require US forces. Such speculation only reinforces the strength of the Arab denials that they will request such help.
President Reagan has recognized the public positions of the Gulf states in stressing that we cannot enter the crisis with our forces unless we are requested to do so. Yet much of the public and official comment in the United States still suggests that we are discounting the logic of the Arabs' public expressions and applying a logic of our own.

Migration of primordial germ cells (PGCs) to the gonad after they are specified during gastrulation provides a model system for exploring control of directed cell migration. In the zebrafish, such migration is regulated by the chemokine Sdf-1A, which is secreted by somatic tissues and influences germ cells through the G protein-coupled receptor CXCR4b. Dumstrei et al. dissected the signaling systems that permit this receptor to specify proper migration of PGCs. Specific expression of pertussis toxin (an inhibitor of the Gi family of G proteins) in germ cells resulted in embryos in which PGCs did not arrive at their proper position in the presumptive gonadal region. Time-lapse microscopy of germ cells tagged with green fluorescent protein (GFP) showed that the cells were viable and motile but were not properly attracted to cells that secreted the Sdf-1A chemokine. Inhibition of signaling through the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway through expression of a dominant-negative form of PI3K in the germ cells resulted in cells that often still found their way to the gonad. However, the cells migrated more slowly and had abnormal morphology and stability of filopodia. In other systems of chemotaxis, 3-phosphorylated phosphoinositides are concentrated at the leading edge of cells and recruit proteins containing PH (pleckstrin homology) domains. However, other mechanisms appear to account for the polarized signaling in germ cells, because microscopy to follow the localization of GFP-tagged PH domain peptides revealed no variation in the amount of these phosphoinositides in the plasma membrane. The authors conclude that signaling through Gi proteins is critical for proper directional migration and that the PI3K pathway has essential roles for general motility of the germ cells.


Not sure if it was the fact that I was painting at an easel, or wearing an apron or what, but I was in the mood for splashing the paint with abandon without thinking about wet-in-wet, light-to-dark etc. etc.
I wouldn't call this a "success" but it is such a departure from anything I have done so far that I actually consider it a successful experiment. How are we ever to grow if we never take risks and never experiment?

That's right, I completely stole the headline. A new Missouri law prohibits food producers from calling anything that isn't made from animal flesh, 'meat'. Lobbied by the Missouri Cattleman's Association, the law is designed to aid consumers in knowing they are buying. Personally, I'm for it, because I'm sick of hearing about protein while we could actually be eating beef, chicken, or anything else produced from an animal. I'm sick of plant based marketing. I'm not anti-vegan or anything, but meat is meat, and plant patties are plant patties. Also, start expecting the same thing from dairy producers.
And closing out this week's news items…President Donald Trump has warned Facebook, Twitter, and Google over perceived bias in search results, news feeds, and timeline data. Trump says that they should be "very careful" after accusing Google of rigging search results of "Trump news" to be fake news. The President claims that Google is prioritizing news to be negative in search results instead of positive news. Mercedes Bunz, a senior lecturer at King's College London, said that it's very difficult for Google to tweak news results one way or another. Search results are optimized for actuality and proximity to the terms, and would be difficult to tweak based on political point of view.

'Smart' IV pumps could save hundreds of lives each year, say pharmacy researchers
In a study of two large NHS trusts that used smart intravenous pumps, researchers found the devices may have averted 110 deaths in a year.
The researchers concluded that where Dose Error Reduction Software is used, "the prevalence of potentially harmful medication adverse events is roughly the same as those estimates from systematic reviews where one in ten intravenous medication errors may be associated with a potential for harm"
The use of intravenous (IV) infusion devices pre-programmed with safety alerts could save hundreds of lives each year, but they are often not available or the software is overridden, researchers have concluded in a new study.
In the first study of its kind in English hospitals, pharmacy researchers from the University of Manchester reviewed data from two large NHS trusts with smart IV pumps and found the devices may have averted 110 deaths over the course of one year by alerting staff to potentially dangerous drug dose errors.
Published in BMJ Open Quality on 12 July 2022, the study found that less than half of the infusions (338,263 of 745,170 infusions; 45%) carried out at the trusts over one year were administered using a Dose Error Reduction Software (DERS) system. In the other infusions, the system was not used or over-ridden.
Around 20–30 NHS hospitals currently use 'smart pumps' with DERS installed. DERS devices are pre-programmed with drug libraries, drug concentrations and dosing rates and limits to mitigate programming and delivery errors, and have been recommended as an intervention to reduce administration errors.
The study authors concluded: "Where DERS is used, the prevalence of potentially harmful medication adverse events is roughly the same as those estimates from systematic reviews where one in ten IV medication errors may be associated with a potential for harm."
Adam Sutherland, lead researcher on the study and a paediatric pharmacist at Royal Manchester Children's Hospital, said previous research had shown that "the programming of devices isn't configured to the way people work in practice".
"If it isn't doing what you want it to do, you're going to bypass the device. That goes some way to explain why they are not used."
He added that another issue was lack of staff training in their use, and inconsistency in the way that smart pumps are configured, which meant users found them confusing.
The devices need to be configured by the hospital when they arrive — a job often delegated to the pharmacy department, as was the case for Sutherland's team. "Our organisation purchased a suite of smart pumps last year and turned round to pharmacy department and said 'you can sort out the programming, can't you?'"
However, setting up the systems is time-consuming and challenging, partly because of a lack of standardised parameters. The situation is likely to become more acute, Sutherland said, because IV infusion systems in most hospitals will be replaced with smart pumps over the next few years.
"We have got some time now to get our house in order as the NHS, to think about how those pumps will be introduced," he said.
He added that there was "no reason" why devices could not be pre-programmed with standardised configurations to be used "out of the box", needing only minor localised changes, but this would require the manufacturers working with pharmacists and other experts to agree standardisation (see box).
The BMJ Open Quality study found that, where DERS was used, it triggered 18 alerts for every 1,000 infusions (17.9/1,000, 95% confidence interval 17.5 to 18.4). However, most of these alerts were for small deviations and could be down to rounding errors (4,652 of 6,067 alerts; 77%). Of the remaining 1,415 alerts considered by experts, 747 were judged to be likely to lead to little or no harm. That left 668 alerts for errors that could cause moderate or severe harm. The researchers estimate that 110 of these could have caused disability or death if they had not been picked up — a rate of 0.2% of DERS infusions administered.
While rates of dangerous infusion errors are low, "my position as a researcher and a pharmacist is, you can't justify having smart pumps and not using them", said Sutherland.
"Busy hospitals administer a million infusions a year. If you are using smart pumps, you are going to prevent a lot of potential errors."
The drugs most likely to be associated with potentially dangerous errors were anticoagulants (24.16 alerts for every 1,000 administrations), antiarrhythmic drugs (21.8 per 1,000 administrations) and antiepileptics (20.86 per 1,000 administrations). Paediatric and medical departments were most likely to trigger potentially harmful alerts.
Box: Recommendations for health systems implementing smart pumps to improve intravenous safety
Standardise infusion concentrations to facilitate 'ready to administer' formulations of frequently-used medications and standardised programming of infusion devices;
Develop and implement drug libraries based on understanding of their real-world use;
Develop standardised outcomes and metrics to interpret data from infusion devices;
Involve all stakeholders in these developments and work with manufacturers and users on device design.

With those words, Elizabeth Warren cemented her reputation as a person who knows how to speak to Americans about progressive values in a way that seems to have eluded almost every other public figure in America. There's just something about the way she talks in plain prairie English that makes people listen – and scares even the most hardened businessman and compromised politician into paying attention.
Now she's declared her candidacy in Massachusetts, hoping to parlay that ability into a seat in the most powerful big money club in America, the US Senate, and make them listen too.
Her pitch is a modern day populism, aimed at the struggling middle class, the people who are dazed and confused by 30 years of conservative cant and free market policy that hasn't worked for them as its been put into practice. She's refined a story line about how this happened that's both erudite and approachable, using her own history and scholarly work to weave a narrative about America's economic crisis that speaks to people's yearning to understand what happened – and feel some optimism that it can be turned around.
Warren likes to tell the story of her grandmother as a way of illustrating what the conservatives think of as the "good old days" were really like (before Franklin Roosevelt turned America into a socialist paradise). She tells the tale of a young woman driving a covered wagon with her younger brothers and sisters all the way to to Oklahoma during the land rush to meet their father, who had staked out a parcel for the family.
She married and she and her husband built one-room schoolhouses and modest homes, and as Warren calls it, "stretched and scratched" to succeed, only to have it all wiped out in one of the many busts of the early 20th century.
So they started all over and built their lives up once more only to lose it all again in the Great Depression. That's how it was in America in the good old days, boom and bust, no security, no solid middle class, no upward mobility for those who lose on the downside of the cycle.
She points out that it was three specific laws that came out of the Great Depression that changed all of that and set the stage for the longest run of uninterrupted prosperity in the nation's history: FDIC Insurance, Glass-Steagel and the SEC.
– More than 40 per cent of Americans who are actually employed are now working in service jobs, which are often low paying.
You can google dozens of similar statistics from sources all over the political spectrum. Until very recently, politicians in both parties have been very slow to address this problem beyond the early inadequate stimulus programme, instead spending months drawing up plans for further "shared sacrifice" on the part of the people, only stopping to argue about whether the rich should be required to kick in some insubstantial tip money or nothing at all.
In the midst of that mess, Elizabeth Warren has arisen as an unlikely lone voice speaking out on behalf of the shrinking and increasingly desperate American middle class, first fighting against an army of financial lobbyists to create a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and now as a candidate for the US Senate.
There was a lot of chatter among the political insiders about her day job as an academic being a huge liability and pedictably, her opponent Scott Brown ostentatiously refers to her as a "Harvard professor".
If there is one thing people consistently say about her it's that despite her lofty academic position, she seems almost preturnaturally real. Political pros were also concerned that her lack of name recognition and political experience would be hard to overcome, especially in light of the fact that her opponent, incumbent Scott Brown, seemed to be reasonably popular.
But in one week, Warren vaulted beyond all other aspiring Democratic candidates to a 46 point lead in the primary. And to the shock of just about every political observer in the nation, she also beat Brown in the first polling done since June, erasing a 15 point deficit to take a 46-44 point lead.
Nonetheless, Brown is a formidable opponent around whom the Republican party is rapidly coalescing despite his occasional deviation from the Tea Party approved line. If there was any thought to launching a primary against him, it seems to have vanished.
However, according to the New York Times' most recent poll, people who identify themselves as Tea Party members are more likely to vote for someone they believe is electable than one who hews to their so-called principles, so perhaps this isn't surprising.
Still, Massachusetts is a Democratic state and if Warren can maintain the current enthusiasm among the voters, she could win. And that will mean far more than just another Senate seat for the Democrats. It will mean that one of the highest profile enemies of the moneyed elite in America was able to get elected by the people with a populist message.
In times like these that sends a chill down their little pin-striped spines.
The election is over a year away and there's no way of knowing how well Warren will fare over the long haul. Electoral politics is a very tough business and none are tougher than Massachusetts.
But Warren's message is a potent one, expressing progressive values in terms that are almost intoxicating to the base of the Democratic Party, hungry as they are for someone to take up the cause of the American middle class, workers and families who are being unbearably squeezed and yet asked to give even more – even as the wealthy fatuously declare themselves to be "job creators" and therefore absolved of any duty to pay their fair share.
The last thirty years of free market fetishism and crony capitalism have perverted that bedrock American ideal to something twisted and perverse. Warren is clearing out the cobwebs for a lot of people and giving them a different way of thinking about this problem.
Win or lose the Senate seat, she is doing a service to the country by having the guts to face down the powerful and say what needs to be said. And it's inspiring progressives all over the country, including, some say, the president himself.

Unfortunately her opponent has been receiving obscene amounts of money from Wall Street. The money people do not want her in. They want their paid made man.

Non-Life insurance is facing a lot of challenges ranging from fierce competition on the market or evolution in the distribution channel used by the consumers to evolution of the regulatory environment (Solvency II, IFRS…).
• Technical: is our pricing adequate to cover the underlying cost of risk of my policyholders and the other costs we are facing? Which are the key variables driving the risk? Are they adequately taken into account in our pricing?
• Competition: at what price will we attract the segments that we target and price out those that we don't want? Is the positioning of our competitors influencing our pricing practice?
• Elasticity: what (new) price are our existing customers prepared to accept?
The aim of this seminar is to present the actuarial/statistical techniques usually used in non-life pricing. This seminar is a strong introduction to these techniques and will be followed in the next few months by an advanced seminar of the EAA presenting new techniques that are being used.
The seminar is specially developed for non-life actuaries or statisticians working in product development or risk management departments. A basic knowledge of non-life premium calculation mechanisms is useful but not necessary.
Attendees are encouraged to bring a laptop computer with R installed as well as some useful packages (all the information will be provided after subscription).
The seminar will alternate between methodological concepts, practical examples and case studies in order to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the techniques.
Participants will have the opportunity to apply in the R software concepts they will have learned in the theoretical sessions, using fictitious data. They will adjust GLM models, understand how results should be interpreted, perform statistical (significance) tests, etc.
A business game will be organised as follows: the participants will be separated in several fictitious insurance companies operating in the same market. Starting with their current tariff and positioning, each fictitious company will have to review its tariff taking into account its expected profitability (technical tariff), the objectives of the management (positioning), the tariff of the competitors (via a dispersion analysis) and the behaviour of its customers (elasticity to price changes).
A basic knowledge of the R software is useful. Some training material will be provided before the seminar to the participants needing an introduction to R so that they can go through it by themselves.

A week after two top-ten battles, Vanderbilt's first SEC victory, and losses by the two divisional cellar dwellers to push them both to 0-3 in the conference, the SEC (except for Georgia) returns to play this weekend with some great — and not so great — match-ups.
Let's take a spin through those match-ups and tell you what to put on your calendar for Week 7 of the SEC.
Program guide: What many expected to be a close game in Columbia last week got out of hand in a hurry, as the Gamecocks jumped out 21-0 on Georgia before they even got off the bus. The Gamecocks had two TD passes from Connor Shaw and a 70-yard punt return from Ace Sanders with 5:56 left in the first quarter, then let their defense take over, holding Georgia to 224 total yards. Shaw only had to attempt 10 passes through the course of the game, completing six for 162 yards and those two scores.
LSU's third-ranked defense will look to not only avoid a repeat of that performance in Baton Rouge on Saturday night, but also a repeat of their performance last week in Gainesville. The Tigers took a 6-0 lead to the locker room on the strength of two Drew Alleman field goals, but never scored in the second half. Mike Gillislee toted the rock early and often, accounting for both Gator scores in the second half. Gillislee racked up 146 of Florida's 237 yards on offense on 34 carries.
Ronald Reagan was completing his first term as President the last time South Carolina started 7-0, and the Gamecocks have not defeated LSU since an 18-17 victory in Baton Rouge in 1994. If the Gamecocks want to reverse those trends this year, it will require a heavy dose of Marcus Lattimore. Lattimore has rushed for 549 yards and nine touchdowns in Carolina's six games, and his average (91.5 YPG) is close to what LSU allows to opposing rushers (98.5 YPG). This is the case because, as good as LSU's run defense has been, their pass defense has been that much better. LSU allows 122 yards per game passing, and though Connor Shaw completes 75.7% of his passes, he may need to use his legs to set up the passing game and pick his spots.
LSU will find slightly less resistance in the Carolina defense, though the Gamecocks only allow 194.2 yards per game passing. The front seven is the defensive key against LSU, as the crew led by Jadeveon Clowney and Devin Taylor allow only 2.41 yards per carry to opposing ball carriers. The Tigers rush for almost five yards per carry, so it will be an interesting battle to see who flinches first. If Zach Mettenberger can improve on last week's performance (11-for-25, 158 yards, INT) and get back to his typical self (89-for-144, 1174 yards, 6 TD, 3 INT), LSU may be able to loosen up the Gamecock defense enough to let his run game break one or two.
Program guide: It is never a good thing when a hurricane appears. This goes without saying. There may be a small silver lining on the football side, however, as this game that was postponed due to Hurricane Isaac now gets national attention. Both teams are nationally-ranked, and Louisiana Tech is the "new" Boise State, with the potential to run the table and "bust" the BCS.
The Aggies, conversely, will look to "bust" the dreams of an undefeated season for the Bulldogs in Shreveport. Though they lost their season and conference opener 20-17 to Florida at Kyle Field, A&M has outscored their last four opponents by the eye-popping total of 206-54. Redshirt freshman quarterback Johnny Manziel has certainly been up to the task, serving as the team's leading rusher in addition to his passing duties. Manziel possesses a 162.3 QB rating, completing 69.3% of his passes for 11 touchdowns, while rushing for just under 500 yards and seven scores. Ben Malena serves as a punishing complement to Manziel (18-142-1 vs. Ole Miss), and Mike Evans, Ryan Swope and Uzoma Nwachukwu provide play-making threats on the outside.
The one area where Texas A&M has shown it can be exploited is in the passing game — the Aggies have the 86th-ranked pass defense in the FBS — and Louisiana Tech quarterback Colby Cameron will look to use this to his advantage early and often. Cameron has generated some Heisman buzz with his start, completing 122-of-179 passes for 1,447 yards in his first five starts of 2012. Even more impressive is his tally of 13 touchdowns against zero interceptions. Should the Wrecking Crew defense limit Cameron, the Bulldogs will turn to the rushing tandem of Kenneth Dixon (424 yards, 8 TD) and Tevin King (369 yards, 5 TD) to try to move the ball on offense.
If Tech is somehow able to get past the Aggies here, the schedule favorably lines up for them the rest of the season. The Bulldogs head into WAC play after this one, with home games with Idaho, UTSA, and Utah State and road trips to New Mexico State, Texas State, and San Jose State. Bulldog fans need to be careful about putting the cart before the horse, but with both teams having high-powered offenses and great quarterbacks, this is a must-see affair.
Program guide: It is a sharp understatement to say that Missouri's first SEC season has not started as anyone has anticipated, but the Tigers have the opportunity to erase a lot of that as the top-ranked Crimson Tide make their first SEC trip to Columbia. A lot will have to go right for Mizzou, though, as quarterback James Franklin will miss the game with a knee injury. This means redshirt freshman Corbin Berkstresser gets the keys to the offense again, and he will need to build on last week's 9-for-30 outing against an Alabama defense that ranks in the top five in the FBS in every major category. Berkstresser's job will not be made any easier by Missouri's numerous injuries on their offensive line. Senior running back Kendial Lawrence (487 yards, five TD) needs to find some holes to keep Alabama's pass rush off Berkstresser.
Missouri has a top-30 defense of their own, but Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron will look to effectively manage the game for the Tide while finding his own weapons. McCarron is a yard shy of a thousand through the air this season, throwing for 12 scores and no picks. The Tide has a solid one-two punch in the backfield in Eddie Lacy and T.J. Yeldon, with those two combining for over 600 yards and six trips to the end zone for Alabama this season. One would imagine this tandem will see a lot of work in this game, especially if the Tide find themselves staked to an early lead.
Program guide: Vanderbilt scored their first SEC victory of 2012 last week, defeating the aforementioned Missouri Tigers 19-15. Zac Stacy rushed for 72 yards and two scores last week, while Vandy quarterback Jordan Rodgers completed 14-of-24 for 182 yards. The Commodores' only other win this season came against Presbyterian of the FCS, so getting on the board last week is large for James Franklin's squad. The Vanderbilt offensive line absolutely must keep Jordan Rodgers protected (13 sacks thus far) against a Florida defense that has at times struggled to get pressure on opposing passers. Vanderbilt's turnover margin is back to even on the year, so forcing a couple of turnovers while preventing their own would also be a huge help.
We've discussed Mike Gillislee's tremendous performance from last week's LSU game, but this is far from his first great performance this season. Gillislee has rushed for 548 yards and seven scores in 2012, and he will look to continue that trend against a mediocre Vanderbilt rush defense. The Commodores allow 179 yards per game on the ground, and this might be their undoing in this one. Gator quarterback Jeff Driskel has completed over 69% of his passes this season, but has only thrown for four touchdowns. Florida's passing offense is ranked 115th in the FBS, averaging only 158.6 yards per game. Look for the Gators to utilize the short passing game to allow it to serve as an extension of their run game.
Program guide: Much was made of Tennessee's 35-21 victory over NC State in the Kickoff Classic in Atlanta. This was thought to be the start of Derek Dooley's turnaround on Rocky Top, the salvaging of a lost 2011 season. The Volunteers have only gone 2-2 since then, with victories over Georgia State and Akron. NC State, as you know, is coming off a defeat of Florida State at home. The Vols will look to bounce back from a wild 51-44 loss to Georgia two weeks ago on the road in Starkville. Quarterback Tyler Bray went 24-for-45 against the Bulldogs, throwing for 281 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions. Though Mississippi State allows 200 yards per game through the air, Tennessee cannot afford interceptions or fumbles against a Bulldog team that is +2.2 per game in turnover margin.
Mississippi State has #1 Alabama looming on the horizon in two weeks, but this does not mean that they will — or should — take Tennessee and next week's opponent, Middle Tennessee, lightly. The Bulldogs featured a balanced attack in last week's 27-14 victory against Kentucky, and will look for similar production from quarterback Tyler Russell (23-39, 269 yards, 2 TD last week), running back LaDarius Perkins (25 carries, 110 yards, TD) and wide receiver Chad Bumphis (9 catches, 104 yards, TD) in this week's outing. Mississippi State faces two inferior defenses in their next two outings. Tennessee is 89th in the FBS, while Middle Tennessee is 91st. The Bulldogs will look to this advantage to take them to 7-0 when they make the trip to Tuscaloosa.
Program guide: Of all the games to feature on the league's network this week, we get to see this one. Auburn looked to be in line for their first conference victory against Arkansas last week, facing a Razorbacks team that had been outscored 110-10 in their previous SEC contests. This was not to be, however, as the Tigers turned the ball over five times and lost 24-7. The Tigers' lone victory came against ULM on the plains, kicking a winning field goal in overtime after the Warhawks missed their attempt. Auburn quarterback Kiehl Frazier has struggled all year, completing just 54.4 percent of his passes, with two touchdowns against eight interceptions. Clint Moseley figures to see more time for Gene Chizik's team as they look to salvage what is, right now, a lost season.
Ole Miss played Texas A&M extremely close last week, as mentioned earlier. The Rebels got a 100-plus yard effort from Jeff Scott on the ground against the Aggies, while Bo Wallace threw for 305 yards. Wallace threw two interceptions in the game against one touchdown, squaring his touchdown and interception totals at eight on the year. Auburn's 77th-ranked defense allows 409 yards per game, and Ole Miss will look to make that number that much worse on Saturday in Oxford.
Program guide: Kentucky played last week without quarterback Maxwell Smith, and will do so for the rest of the year. The Wildcats employed a quarterback tandem last week, using true freshmen Jalen Whitlow and Patrick Towles under center. Whitlow completed 10-of-21 attempts for only 73 yards, though he did rush for a touchdown in their loss to Mississippi State. Towles was 5-of-6 for 71 yards and a score through the air, and the platoon might actually play to Kentucky's benefit going forward. Kentucky's lone win came against Kent State, and they will look to make it two against a similarly struggling Arkansas team. The Wildcats bring a 106th-ranked offense and 72nd-ranked defense to Fayetteville, though, which will pose a considerable problem.
Arkansas experienced a bit of a return to the Razorbacks of old last week, winning by 17 at Jordan-Hare. Tyler Wilson completed 22-of-29 for 230 yards against the Tigers, while Dennis Johnson knifed through the Auburn defense for 76 yards and two scores. The Razorbacks' defense employed a bend-but-don't-break approach last week, allowing 321 yards of total offense to Auburn. They did, though, hold the Tigers to 4-of-12 on third down and force five turnovers. Auburn also rushed for 40 yards last week, a number which will have to improve for Kentucky to stay close in this one. Is Arkansas back, or was this a one-week thing? We may not know after the final whistle of this one, or even after the Razorbacks' upcoming games against Ole Miss and Tulsa at home, but we will certainly find out when Arkansas closes their schedule at South Carolina, at Mississippi State and at home against LSU.
Your comments and analysis is always 'spot on'.I really enjoy seeing your breakdowns on these games,as it seems as though you do this professionally,when we know it is a sideline for you.
Even though you do not make a living doing this,you surely could.


I have checked the install log and there are no problems.

Running the command to start from the command line gives the following.
This will help us assist you with your issue.
Also check /var/log/amahi-app-installer.log for errors.
because it seemed that there was some instance running that caused the bind to the port to fail because it was in use already.
However, we got disconnected or something. The fpaste may not help a lot, however, it's good the have it. The app install log may show errors, which could be significant to this case.
Hallo, I had to go to a meeting but when I finished I did run the above and it did appear that an instance was already running, but I still couldn't access the web interface.
I killed the process that was running and restarted the service from the amahi web interface and I was able to access couch potato. So, all is working well now. I've tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling but I can't replicate the error.

Q: How do I stop the page to display a particular warning (see detail), using exception handling or error handling? I'm receiving this particular warning:

Warning: Division by zero in C:\xampp\htdocs\OnlineQuiz\Resultpage.php
  on line 98

I've used a division expression. Something like this:
Ratio = Correct answers/Attempted questions

if both things are 0, I'll get the warning. But I don't want this. I just want a message instead of this error. How do handle this?

A: You need to check $Attempted_questions to not be zero before division:
if ($Attempted_questions != 0) {
  $Ratio = $Correct_answers / $Attempted_questions
}

A: by adding @ sign before operation to ignore errors:
Ratio = @Correct answers/Attempted questions

http://php.net/manual/en/language.operators.errorcontrol.php

A: Add @ sign before operation to ignore errors report/messages
Ratio = @Correct_answers / $Attempted_questions

A: You can simply use try..catch along with throw as
function makeratio($Correct_answers, $Attempted_questions) {
    if (!$Attempted_questions) {
        throw new Exception('Division by zero');
    }
    return $result = ($Correct_answers / $Attempted_questions);
}

try {
    echo makeratio($Correct_answers, $Attempted_questions);
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo 'Caught Exception : ' . $e->getMessage();
}

enCouraging Miles in the NYC Marathon
"The marathon is a charismatic event. It has everything. It has drama. It has competition. It has camaraderie. It has heroism. Every jogger can't dream of being an Olympic champion, but he can dream of finishing a marathon."
– Fred Lebow, New York City Marathon co-founder
On Sunday, November 1, 2015, 49,595 runners fulfilled their dreams of crossing the finish line of the NYC Marathon, and eight were heroes in our mind as they helped raise nearly $50,000 for enCourage Kids – over 200% of our goal.
First time marathoner MaryAnne Verzosa Fraser
"It's a wonderful mix of volunteers, siblings of employees, board members, and a child life specialist who has worked with our families in the hospitals," said Executive Director Michele Hall-Duncan at the 'Carb Up Dinner' hosted for the runners a few days before the race. "We really appreciate it on behalf of our kids and families."
"I always wanted to run the NYC Marathon so I appreciate the opportunity," shared Keeley Guillerme, who's sister used to work for the organization. "I've had some great experiences during the fundraising and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart too for giving me the opportunity to help enCourage Kids."
First time marathoner MaryAnne Verzosa Fraser, who is a Child Life Specialist at New York Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital, has had a long relationship with enCourage Kids. "Working in child life, I've seen first hand all of the magical things that enCourage Kids does for kids in the hospital. This was my first opportunity to really give back and run my first marathon."
Many runners who gain their spots in the marathon through charities do so because they may have missed out on getting one through the lottery. But Jennifer Valentine, who volunteers on our Friends Committee, decided to raise funds despite having already secured entry. "This will be my seventh full marathon and I usually do them for very selfish reasons, so I'm happy to be doing it for a cause I love."
New York Road Runners encourages this type of fundraising through the hashtag #addmeaningtoyourmiles.
Thank you to all of our amazing All-Star runners from 2015:
Domingos Calaz, MaryAnne Verzosa Fraser, Laurence Gottlieb, Keeley Guillerme, Chip Holmes, David Nass, Erin Karnovsky Schonbraun, and Jennifer Valentine.
Do you dream of running the 2016 TCS NYC Marathon? Here are some dates to keep in mind:
February 21st – last day to apply for general entry drawing
March 8th – Drawing Day
November 6th – Marathon Day
