Engineering the future: Expansion provides educational opportunities, new jobs, economic impact
By Clara-Meretan Kiah
As FIU pushes to expand both geographically and in student enrollment, the university is working with industry leaders to grow its College of Engineering and Computing to meet the needs of the 21st century economy. The expansion would include a $150 million, 225,000-square-foot complex, rendering pictured above, located on an expanded Modesto A. Maidique Campus.
"The College of Engineering and Computing is actively engaged in cutting-edge research and development for high-impact solutions," said Ranu Jung, interim dean of the college. "We are educating the engineers of tomorrow, but with all that we are, we are operating at scale. For us to meet our national need and FIU's mission of student access and success, research excellence, and local to global community service, we must expand."
The new, centrally located complex would
Encourage interdisciplinary research activity in key growth areas—biomedical engineering, computer engineering related to cyber security, electrical engineering work on sensors and nanotechnology drug delivery—with academic units based at MMC such as the Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine, the College of Arts, Sciences and Education, and the Sea Level Solutions Center;
Attract greater external research funding commensurate with expanded facility capacity, additional faculty hiring and larger, collaborative research projects;
House the Office of Research and Development's newly established startup incubator designed to commercialize faculty research and work with local innovators;
Feature state-of-the-art laboratories for 73 professors, collaborative team spaces and interactive teaching classrooms;
Contribute to national and state mandates to increase the number of engineering graduates.

As South Florida's public research university, FIU is dedicated to driving the economic development of the region and the state. FIU is ranked first in the nation in providing engineering degrees to Hispanic and fifth in the nation for African Americans. The university is among the top 2 percent of U.S. research institutions and holds the Carnegie Classification ranking of "R1: Doctoral Universities – Highest Research Activity."
Through innovative engineering education and research, we are meeting the workforce and technology-creation needs of both the public and private sectors while collaborating with a host of partners.
As national and state leaders call upon educational institutions to increase the number of engineers in the coming decades—as many as 10,000 per year— FIU can and will play a significant role in achieving that goal. And with an enhanced research environment, the university will serve as a resource for startup and existing companies seeking support for new innovations. The major gains for our region and the state will be realized in a growing number of high-quality jobs and an ecosystem that fosters continued growth in a variety of industries.
"Investment in our College of Engineering and Computing will feed South Florida's aspirations to establish a major innovation hub," said FIU President Mark B. Rosenberg.
The college today
The College of Engineering & Computing consists of more than 5,800 students pursuing both undergraduate and graduate degrees; and it graduated more than 1,100 engineers in the 2014-15 academic year.
The 181,459-square-foot, state-of-the-art Engineering Center houses unique research laboratories and facilities for its 105 faculty; and the college earned $17.73 million in external research grants in the 2014-15 fiscal year.
Projected return on investment
To the college:
$49 million in annual external research grants
27 university patent applications annually
1 viable startup every other year
1,500 new graduates annually
214 faculty
331,459 square feet of teaching and research space
To the community:
350 additional engineers entering workforce annually
$78 million infusion of new dollars into local economy (by 2025), based on expanded research funding
550 newjobs in South Florida, based on expanded research funding
Creation of a resource center that will attract and support new tech-based ventures in South Florida ♦

Q: nested dictionary TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable I have a dictionary - questions.
the key is a number and the value is another dictionary. here is an example of the structure:
    questions = {
    2313: {"question": "How much is 2+2", "answers": ["3", "4", "2", "1"], "correct": 2},
    4122: {"question": "What is the capital of France?", "answers": ["Lion", "Marseille", "Paris", "Montpellier"],
           "correct": 3}
}

I need to add more questions to the dictionary from a text file ('questions.txt') where the questions look like that:
0#What is the capital city of USA?#Washington DC#New York#Los Angeles#Detroit#1
After I opened the file, I created a loop to go through all the questions and add them to the dictionary. I used a function from my protocol 'chatlib':
def split_data(data, expected_fields):

    splitted = data.split('#')
    if len(splitted) == expected_fields:
        return splitted
    else:
        return

so for example when I use it on the question before it will return it as a list that looks like that:
['0', 'What is the capital city of USA?', 'Washington DC', 'New York', 'Los Angeles', 'Detroit', '1']
I tried a lot of different ways to write the main code,
    list_new_questions = open("questions.txt").read().split('\n')
    for question in list_new_questions:
        questionlist = chatlib.split_data(question, 7)
        key = int(questionlist[0])
        questions[key] = {"question": "", "answers": [], "correct": 0}
        questions[key]["question"] = questionlist[1]
        questions[key]["answers"] = [questionlist[2], questionlist[3], questionlist[4], questionlist[5]]
        questions[key]["correct"] = int(questionlist[6])

but every time it returns an error (TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable) and says that the value of int(questionlist[0]) is None but I don't understand why. How can it be None, it is supposed to be the int value of the first element in the list questionlist which is always a number. every time I print int(questionlist[0]) it always prints a number so I don't understand why it says it's None.

A: when you return out of line 3
questionlist = chatlib.split_data(question, 7) your function can return None if the len(splitted)` is not == to 7.
so questionlist = None when the there are not 7 fields and then in line 4 you are trying to take the index 0 of None.
easy fix & restructure would be something like:
def split_data(data):
    # validate data here
    splitted = data.split("#")
    # validate splitted here if you need to
    return splitted

list_new_questions = open("questions.txt").read().split("\n")
for question in list_new_questions:
    questionlist = chatlib.split_data(question)
    # do your validation here
    if len(questionlist) == 7:
        # try except maybe if you are unsure about the data split you get
        key = int(questionlist[0])
        questions[key] = {
            "question": questionlist[1],
            "answers": questionlist[2:6],
            "correct": int(questionlist[6)
        }
    else:
        print("Invalid question format")

A: Let's look at the error message:

TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable

Subscript notation is when you use square brackets like so: X[Y]. On the line that raises the exception, the only place where that happens is questionlist[0]. You cannot subscribe or index None because what would None[0] even mean? So that tells you that questionlist is None.
We can figure out why that is the case by looking at the previous line,
questionlist = chatlib.split_data(question, 7)
So what does split_data return?
Either return splitted, which is a list of string or return, which is the same as return None. So we know the latter has to be have happened, which means you've come across a line with an unexpected number of #s.
This could have happened because 1) there is a typo somewhere, because 2) you have an empty line in the file, or because 3) the file ends with a newline (automatically inserted by some editors).
The next question is, what do you want to happen in those cases? If you just want to ignore any non-matching line, Yash's solution will help you.
But I think while allowing 3 is definitely good and 2 is probably good for your use-case as well, I don't think you should want to just carry on like nothing's wrong in the case of 1. If there's a typo, I think you want your program to complain loudly... but maybe with a more useful error message.
You could do this without modifying split_data at all. Here's a possible solution:
    list_new_questions = open("questions.txt").read().split('\n')
    for question in list_new_questions:
        if question.strip() == '':
            # Ignore lines with only whitespace
            continue
        questionlist = chatlib.split_data(question, 7)
        if questionlist is None:
            # Not the right number of fields!
            raise Exception(f"Invalid question format: {question!r}")
        key, question, *answers, correct = questionlist
        questions[int(key)] = {"question": question, "answers": answers, "correct": int(correct)}

A: Your split_data function can return a None value if the actual fields is != expected_fields.
You can do it like below which can also account for if you start providing more answers.
This also removes the need for the split_data function as it can be done as part of the loop.
with open("questions.txt") as f:
    new_questions = f.readlines()

    for q in new_questions:
        q = q.split("#")
        if len(q) == 7:
            questions[int(q[0])] = {
                "question": q[1],
                "answers": q[2:-1],
                "correct": int(q[-1])}
        else:
            print(f"Invalid Data {q}")

If you wanted to provide more or less than 4 answers you could do something like below which only assumes the id is the first field, question is the second and answer is the last
for q in new_questions:
    q = q.split("#")
    try:
        questions[int(q[0])] = {
            "question": q[1],
            "answers": q[2:-1],
            "correct": int(q[-1])}
    except IndexError:
        print(f"Invalid data {q}")

Q: Birt 4.2.2 new font issue with linux I am using a new font on Birt 4.2.2 which is working fine on developers Windows machine, but not working on our Linux server which uses Websphere Application Server V8. I have changed the fontsconfig.xml as per this link and I had the same issue.
Although, I can see that Birt processed my new fonts directory on the application server log file. Kindly advise.
Thanks a lot in advance.

A: Just copy your font file under ../jre/lib/fonts directory and run commands "mkfontscale" and "mkfontdir". Restart application server after this.

A: I've solved the issue using below steps :
1- I executed those commands on the fonts directory (mkfontscale - mkfontdir)
2- Then I got the fonts encoding from the output files.
   Output is something like that :
   arial.ttf -monotype-arial-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-p-0-iso10646-1
3- I got iso10646-1 and all other encoding and put them on font-encodings section on fontsconfig.xml file
4- Then I added the font names under font-aliases section on fontsconfig.xml

And it works fine.
The issue was the font encoding wasn't properly set while rendering the PDF for some reason. So, I mapped the fonts encoding to the font names.

Thanks a lot for all who replied.

HOME --> CLASS MAMMALIA --> ORDER RODENTIA --> SUBORDER MYOMORPHA --> SUPERFAMILY Muroidea --> FAMILY Muridae --> SUBFAMILY Murinae --> GENUS Melomys
SPECIES Melomys caurinus
Citation: Treubia, 2: 112.
Common Name: Short-tailed Talaud Melomys
Type Locality: Indonesia, Kepulauan Talaud, Pulau Karakelang.
Distribution: Recorded only by four specimens from Pulau Karakelang and Pulau Salebabu (MZB) in the Talaud Isls (Helgen, 2003b).
Comments: Morphologically very similar to M. leucogaster (Menzies, 1996; our own study of the specimens discussed by Flannery, 1995b). Originally described as a species, but Rümmler (1938) and Ellerman (1941) treated caurinus as a subspecies of M. leucogaster, Musser and Carleton (1993) listed it in the synonymy of that species, and Laurie and Hill (1954) arranged it as a subspecies of M. fulgens. Tate (1951) recognized caurinus as a distinct species as have Flannery (1995b) and Menzies (1996). It is sympatric with M. talaudium, which has a longer tail relative to head and body length, suggesting that M. caurinus may be terrestrial and M. talaudium arboreal (Flannery, 1995b; Thomas, 1921i). Except for tail length these two species are hardly distinguishable in cranial and dental features and to Flannery (1995b:132) "there seems little doubt that these two species have evolved in the Talaud Isls from a common ancestor."

WiFi Hacking isn't so much difficult assignment. Any non-specialized individual who knows how to work the PC may hack/break WiFi in nothing more than 2 minutes. Along these lines, now no compelling reason to request free WiFi to others and no compelling reason to discover any longer how to hack WiFi secret key online instructional exercises on the grounds that here is the finished arrangement.
The Word WiFi contains the meaning of wireless fidelity which has turned out to be extremely well known in this day and age in light of moderate cost and simple setup. Most PCs sold today in your general vicinity you may use to associate with WiFi organizes that accompany remote cards as of now introduced. You presumably asked yourself some time : " how to hack WiFi watchword ? " Well , you can without much of a stretch hack WiFi secret word and can appreciate free WiFi association!
Getting an internet connection is vital in our cutting edge lives, all around you go it 's vital to have a working association ! You're correct, possibly you were at home or out with your portable PC and utilize the web had been in the same circumstance, yet all accessible WiFi systems in your general vicinity has been shut? I abolish this issue and therefore you access any system you need, WiFi secret word that you can use to hack I'm going to demonstrate a viable way.
Presently we prepared to catch the remote activity around us. By running airodump-ng wlan0 our remote interface will begin catching the information.
PWR: Signal level reported by the card.
#Data: Number of caught information parcels (if WEP, extraordinary IV check), including information show bundles.
#/s: Number of information parcels every second measure in the course of the most recent 10 seconds.
CH: Channel number (taken from signal parcels).
MB: Maximum pace bolstered by the AP. In the event that MB = 11, it's 802.11b, if MB = 22 it's 802.11b+ and higher rates are 802.11g.
ENC: Encryption calculation being used.
Figure: The figure distinguished. TKIP is commonly utilized with WPA and CCMP is normally utilized with WPA2.
AUTH: The verification convention utilized.
ESSID: Shows the remote system name. The supposed "SSID", which can be void if SSID stowing away is actuated.
From the progression 3 above, we can discover access point with encryption calculation WPA2 and note the AP channel number. Presently we will see if target AP has WPS empowered or not.
On the off chance that the WPS Locked status is No, then we prepared to split and move to step 5.
The last step is splitting the WPA2 secret key utilizing reaver.
It will take around 5 hours to break 19 characters WPA2 security password, yet it depends with our equipment and remote card.

Q: Spliterator generated by Iterables.partition() doesn't behave as expected? I've noticed that the spliterator produced by using Guava's Iterables.partition(collection, partitionSize).spliterator() behaves strange.
Executing trySplit() on the resultant spliterator doesn't split, but executing trySplit() on the result of the initial trySplit() finally does.
Furthermore, using StreamSupport.stream(Iterables.partition(collection, partitionSize).spliterator(), true) does not parallelize the the stream, but
StreamSupport.stream(Iterables.partition(collection, partitionSize).spliterator().trySplit(), true) does parallelize and the resultant stream contains all of the partitions.
My goal is: given a collection with size 100k I want to partition it into batches of size 5000 and process those batches in parallel.
2 questions: does the spliterator generated by Iterables.partition behave correctly?
Is my approach a good way to achieve my goal?

A: The problem here is that Spliterator comes from an Iterable, that does not have a known size. So the implementation internally will buffer the elements into a buffer of size 1024 and continue to increase the buffer on next iterations. What I mean by that is :
    List<Integer> coll = IntStream.range(0, 150_000).boxed().collect(Collectors.toList());
    Iterable<List<Integer>> it = Iterables.partition(coll, 1);
    Spliterator<List<Integer>> sp = it.spliterator();

    Spliterator<List<Integer>> one = sp.trySplit();
    System.out.println(one.getExactSizeIfKnown());

    Spliterator<List<Integer>> two = sp.trySplit();
    System.out.println(two.getExactSizeIfKnown());

    Spliterator<List<Integer>> three = sp.trySplit();
    System.out.println(three.getExactSizeIfKnown());

    Spliterator<List<Integer>> four = sp.trySplit();
    System.out.println(four.getExactSizeIfKnown());

which would print:
1024
2048
3072
4096

If you want to process 5000 elements at a time, you need to start with a Spliterator that has a known size to begin with. You could put those partitions to an ArrayList first:
 public static void main(String[] args) {

    List<Integer> coll = IntStream.range(0, 15_000).boxed().collect(Collectors.toList());
    Iterable<List<Integer>> it = Iterables.partition(coll, 5000);

    List<List<Integer>> list = new ArrayList<>();
    it.forEach(list::add);

    StreamSupport.stream(list.spliterator(), true)
            .map(x -> {
                System.out.println(
                        "Thread : " + Thread.currentThread().getName() +
                        " processed elements in the range : " + x.get(0) + " , " + x.get(x.size() - 1)
                );
                return x;
            })
            .flatMap(List::stream)
            .collect(Collectors.toList());
}

On my machine it shows that they are processed by one thread each:
Thread : ForkJoinPool.commonPool-worker-5 processed elements in the range : 10000 , 14999
Thread : ForkJoinPool.commonPool-worker-19 processed elements in the range : 0 , 4999
Thread : main processed elements in the range : 5000 , 9999

Small Battle Creek Business May Be Forced to Close After 15 Years
Lacy James
Lacy James Published: December 13, 2021
Courtesy of Bo Mcliechey
A global shortage may force a small Battle Creek business to permanently close.
By now many of us have heard of the vehicle chip or superconductor shortage. The shortage has forced car manufacturers to lay employees off and caused a shortage of new vehicles through most of 2021.
What many of us never think of when we hear of a global shortage like this is the trickle-down effect that impacts small businesses.
Bo Mcliechey is a lifelong Battle Creek resident. He graduated from Battle Creek Central and opened his own small business in his hometown. Now everything he has worked so hard for may soon be gone through no fault of his own.
Bo says the trouble started when COVID-19 restrictions went into effect in 2020. With so few people hitting the road, there wasn't much use for vehicles to be professionally detailed. Bo also does bodywork and minor repairs at Bo's Car Care, located at 232 Lafayette Avenue in Battle Creek, Michigan.
Bo tells us the global semiconductor/vehicle chip shortage has been one of the biggest culprits for the struggles his business has faced. He says he had multiple accounts with local vehicle dealerships that have been canceled because there are not enough new vehicles coming into the dealerships. The reason for the lack of new vehicles is the global shortage.
In September, a lonely field of brand new trucks sat for months due to a lack of those semiconductors. Automotive factories shut down for weeks at a time due to the chip shortage and plethora of new vehicles waiting for those chips.
Bo recently posted an emotional message to social media and noted times have never been this tough for his business and that it's getting harder every day. He says he bought a snowplow to try and pick up more work, but a lack of snow has made that a fruitless effort to date.
If your vehicle could use a good detailing, you have minor damage or repairs that need to be made, or if you are looking for snow plow service, give Bo's Care Care a call at 269-282-4260. You just might save a local small business.

More than 80% of leading executives in aerospace and defense companies expect to see artificial intelligence systems working alongside their human employees in just the next few years.
More than 80% of leading executives in aerospace and defense companies expect to see artificial intelligence (AI) systems working alongside their human employees in just the next few years, according to the latest annual edition of Accenture's Technology Vision report.
What is more, Accenture and some of its top-tier aerospace clients already are using AI systems in forecasting and other decision-making processes, freeing up labor to be re-tasked for other projects. The rate of adoption is catching even the consultants off guard.
"This is a big change from last year," said Jeff Wheless, Accenture's global research leader for aerospace and defense (A&D). "Four out of five [executives polled] say AI will be there next to humans in the next two years—that's pretty fast," he told the Aviation Week Network ahead of the report's broader release.
According to the report, 70% of A&D leaders expect it to take two years or fewer for new and emerging technology adoption overall. Half of them report already investing in related technology, including AI, "Internet of Things" connectivity, robotics and autonomous machines.
A&D leaders said they see new technology having the greatest effect in their production, security and research and development efforts, in that order. But it will have an impact on more than just day-to-day operations or back-office functions. Four out of five respondents also said they are increasingly using data to drive critical and automated decision-making.
Above all, 94% surveyed said they believe this next generation of technology will be moving into physical environments through increased adoption of augmented reality, connected devices and robotics.
Accenture representatives are reluctant to discuss case examples of clients using the new technology. But John Schmidt, managing director and the global A&D lead, discussed how one leading aircraft OEM was connecting distant engineers and factory managers via augmented reality, cutting down on travel time and costs between the sites.
Nevertheless, executives are cognizant of growing challenges brought by the new technologies, starting with the fact that demands for data sharing will only increase. About 90% of poll takers said their A&D companies expect the data exchanged with major business partners will grow over the next two years.
"We've got a lot more data [and] we've got data trust issues," Wheless said.

Triple Crown Picture Finished: Shorter Belmont Stakes Will Run in June
By Brian Robin on May 19, 2020 3 min read
The final jewel to the 2020 Triple Crown fell into place Tuesday morning when the New York Racing Association announced the Grade 1 Belmont Stakes will run Saturday, June 20. With that date, the 152-year-old race opens the Triple Crown for the first time in history.
The coronavirus moved the Belmont Stakes to a new June date and a new shorter distance. It will run 1 1/8 miles instead of 1 1/2. (Image: Yahoo Sports)
That's not the only adjustment. The Belmont will run nine furlongs – 1 1/8 miles. It normally runs at 1 ½ miles, a distance few American Thoroughbreds ever run or are accustomed to running. The Belmont ran at nine furlongs in 1893 and 1894 at Morris Park Racecourse, but has run at 1 ½ miles since 1926.
This turns the longest of the Triple Crown races into the shortest. The shorter distance became necessary due to the lack of prep work at or near that distance leading into the race. If that wasn't enough, Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert twisted any recalcitrant arms further when he said he wouldn't run any of his 3-year-old stars 1 ½ miles in June.
Instead, Baffert likely will send unbeaten Charlatan (100 Derby points), along with unbeaten Nadal (150 points) to Belmont Park, where 150-60-30-15 Derby qualifying points will go to the top four finishers. Churchill Downs officials earlier said the Belmont Stakes would join the Derby Trail with that rich point haul if it took place before the Kentucky Derby.
Big Stars Lined Up for Shorter Distance
This could shape up as an early showdown between legitimate Triple Crown contenders. The New York connections to Tiz the Law (122 points) told Bloodhorse the Florida Derby winner is likely to run the Belmont. Tiz the Law hasn't run since winning the Florida Derby on March 28, and his connections said they were waiting for the NYRA to release its stakes schedule before committing to further races.
The Belmont will run without spectators in its massive stands to curb the spread of the coronavirus in the state hit hardest by the COVID-19 pandemic.
"While this will certainly be a unique running of the historic race, we are grateful to be able to hold the Belmont Stakes in 2020," said NYRA President and CEO Dave O'Rourke in a statement. "Thanks to our partners at NBC Sports, fans across the country can look forward to a day of exceptional Thoroughbred racing at a time when entertainment and sports are so important to providing a sense of normalcy."
Triple Crown Timeframe Comes in Triplicate
The June 20 date triples the traditional Triple Crown season, turning a five-week spring campaign into a 15-week, late-spring, summer, and fall campaign. The Kentucky Derby runs Sept. 5 and the Preakness Stakes announced its new Oct. 3 date last Saturday.
Coming on the heels of the Belmont announcement, the NYRA announced it will open for live racing on June 3 at Belmont Park. That will come with a condensed 40-stakes/22-graded stakes schedule over its 25-day spring/summer meet. Last Saturday, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo permitted spectator-free racing to begin as early as June 1.

Belmont originally scheduled a 51-day spring/summer meet, but the NYRA halved it to 25 due to the coronavirus. However, the NYRA is making up for a lack of quantity with an abundance of quality. The revised schedule features at least one stakes race every day, including nine Grade 1 races and four Breeders' Cup "Win & You're In" qualifiers.
Belmont Stakes Day Remains Bettor's Bonanza
Four of those Grade 1s come on June 20 – Belmont Stakes Day. The Belmont Stakes highlights a card featuring six graded stakes races, consisting of four Grade 1s, a Grade 2, and a Grade 3.
The closure of state casinos mandated that the NYRA cut purses, which it did, primarily to the stakes races.
"Without the casino operating and without on-track attendance, we've had to make significant purse cuts," said Martin Panza, NYRA's senior vice president for racing operations in a statement. "The purse cuts to the stakes schedule are much more dramatic than the overnight schedule and we've tried to help the everyday horsemen as much as possible through these trying times by writing a rich and varied condition book, offering a daily opportunity for black type, that will support horsemen at all levels of the game."

A success story for serving the community in the UAE
CMRC > Blog > Featured > A success story for serving the community in the UAE
Featured, Press Releases
In 2012 -2013 when there was a void in post-acute care services for patients after encountering injuries or life-changing health scenarios, the options of rehabilitative services were very limited to what patients could access in order to get better. Thereafter, Cambridge Medical and Rehabilitation Center created a successful rehabilitation service in the United Arab Emirates, in the emirate of Abu Dhabi and in the City of Al Ain to provide long-term healthcare and rehabilitation services in close clinical collaboration through a distinctive partnership with Spaulding Rehabilitation Network, the official teaching hospital of the Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Department for Harvard Medical School. By adding value to the UAE's healthcare sector, Cambridge Medical and Rehabilitation Center has become the leading world-class provider of rehabilitative and long-term care services.
Being established with a capacity of 180 beds across the UAE, in 2019 Cambridge Medical and Rehabilitation Center opened CMRC-KSA for an additional 60 beds in the Eastern Province of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in Dhahran to complete the third facility in the GCC with the vision and promise of additional expansion of these services throughout the GCC. By providing exceptional rehabilitation and long-term care services for inpatients and outpatients, Cambridge Medical and Rehabilitation Center is accredited by the Joint Commission International (JCI) and Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).
In order to provide world-class care, Cambridge Medical and Rehabilitation Center has appointed highly qualified teams of Physiotherapists, Respiratory Therapists, Occupational Therapist, Chiropractors, and Speech and Language Pathologists to work closely with the specialized doctors of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, specialized Pediatricians, Internal Medicine Physicians, Intensivists, and General Practitioners working alongside clinical Case Managers, and Allied Healthcare Professionals to fulfill the clinical and rehabilitative needs of our patients and their families.
"Our world-class expertise in rehabilitation in combination with our clinical proficiency in the management of chronic medical conditions as well as our ability to care for our patients following discharge in our outpatient clinics sets us apart from the conventional care currently provided within Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, and Dhahran in KSA"
– Dr. Howard S. Podolsky, CMRC Group Chief Executive Officer
By introducing the first of its kind program in the United Arab Emirates, the "Transitional Vent Unit" is an advanced clinical concept, developed to support patients who are dependent on mechanical ventilation. The promise of the Transitional Vent Unit program is that it combines the clinical expertise of our Intensivist Physicians and Respiratory Therapists with our Rehabilitation Team to develop bespoke weaning protocols for each patient admitted into this program. The expressed goal is to wean patients of mechanical ventilation and liberate them from a life dependent on respirators. Thereby affording patients to successfully reintegrate into home, family, and community.
The practice of this unique weaning protocol at a specialized rehabilitation facility such as Cambridge Medical and Rehabilitation Center, promises a low infection rate in comparison with other similar programs provided by other providers throughout the country and region; while on the other hand, a Weaning Rate of 70% keeps Cambridge Medical and Rehabilitation Center in a stand-alone leading position with its model for the Transitional Vent Unit patients.
Moving on to another segmented line of service, "Post-Acute Rehabilitation", defined as short-term or time-limited for inpatients, with an interdisciplinary active intervention for patients with the need for intensive rehabilitation. This program targets patients with acute stable illness or injury that could be caused by a road-traffic-accidents, or the practice of extreme sports, work missions, an incident that any individual might encounter in their everyday living; hence, it aims for restoration of diminished skills that will help in maximizing self-sufficiency and minimizing the impact of impairment to regain normal or near to semi-normal capacity of motor ability manners.
Post – Acute Rehabilitation patients are classified according to patient conditions into three categories of which one may be medically stable but have an illness or injury, such as strokes, Brain Injuries or spinal cord injuries. The second category could be due to a chronic condition because of a neuron disease or multiple sclerosis. Moreover, patients with joints replacements, limb reconstruction, spinal surgery or traumatic failure are all considered under the condition of post-surgical. At Cambridge Medical and Rehabilitation Center, the Post-Acute Rehabilitation patients may benefit from the Neuro-Rehabilitation and Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation services for treatment plans to achieve the required goals.
As for the Long-Term Acute Care, it has deviated into two rehabilitation categories, the slow stream rehabilitation program and the active rehabilitation program. Patients under this kind of program require daily, skilled nursing in an inpatient setup, and medical supervision to receive assistance with activities of daily livings , as they are not clinically safe to live/socially cannot go home in or maintain their clinical equilibrium. The skilled nursing factor in the Long-Term care service will result in enhanced quality of life for individuals and if correctly performed with the right environment then the frequency of acute re-admissions to short-term acute-care hospitals will be noticeably reduced.
The "Continuum of Care" approach of which Cambridge Medical and Rehabilitation Center practice, grants a safe and secure patient journey all from the hospitalization start point, until a patient is safely back re-integrated into their community. This improves care for patients, enhances the experience for the families, unblocks hospital beds, and minimizes the risk of hospital-acquired infection. Cambridge Medical and Rehabilitation Center have scored in the Press Ganey Score metric a sum of 91% in terms of Patient Satisfaction.
Nevertheless, as Cambridge Medical and Rehabilitation Center was a pioneer in the introduction of Aqua-Therapy in Abu Dhabi, and in the adoption of the Kozyavkin Method for Cerebral Palsy; currently assessing introductions for tailored rehabilitation programs for Autism, Hand Therapy, Spine and Pain Management. Indeed, services and geographic expansions will always be there as CMRC vision is to continue being the leader of Post-Acute Rehabilitation and Long-Term care services by providing exceptional patient experiences and clinical outcomes across the MENA Region.

Britain's economy is slowing rapidly with only household and government spending and the service sector keeping growth afloat as trade, manufacturing and business investment all slide backwards, according to official GDP figures.
In 2018 UK growth dropped to 1.4 per cent from 1.8 per cent in 2017, making it the equal weakest year since 2009. The data from the Office for National Statistics revealed a sharp slowdown in the second half of the year and dashed hopes of an economic rebalancing from household spending to exports and engineering.

GREG BAILEY. The Business Council of Australia, a new political body appealing to the small business constituency?
The Business Council of Australia has hit the electronic and print media in the past few days, but for all the wrong reasons. It has been accused of setting itself up to run political campaigns along the lines of the main parties and the ACTU. Why is it doing this now and why is it trying to broaden its appeal beyond its traditional constituency of corporations, the large consultancy firms and big business in general?
The BCA has been a well-known advocacy group representing big business for the past forty years. Perhaps it is more successful than other like-minded groups in having as its member the CEOs of 132 of Australia's largest companies. These include all the large banks, numerous large foreign owned multinationals, six large consultancy firms, several well known law firms, and sundry companies involved in finance and residential accommodation such as BUPA, the latter in the news recently for running a very "efficient" taxation policy. Arguably this is the crème-de-la-crème of Australian business and even individually many of these companies have powerful lobbying capacity.
At least four of their senior staff members have direct connections with the Liberal Party and all in some form or other have held senior positions in the Commonwealth and state public services. In addition four have worked for consultancy firms. Whilst there is nothing unusual about these career paths–in fact, they are the norm–in what is essentially a lobbying firm, it demonstrates yet again the extremely tight connection between the Liberal (and often the Labor) government, the large consultancy firms and the senior levels of the economic departments in the Commonwealth Public Service. This places the BCA in a prime position to have direct access to decision makers in the government and to influence the implementation of public policy, and to do so quietly, out of the public gaze.
Perhaps surprisingly, in announcing its request to member companies to give $200,000 each to help build up a large war chest in support of the LNP in the next federal election, it has over the last few days drawn strong condemnation, mainly in the media, sources one would expect to be supportive. This money is to be used explicitly for political campaigning against what it calls "anti-business forces" and will actually involve getting its hands dirty in a way associated with mainstream political parties. In its intention to hold town hall meetings and conduct an advertising campaign on commercial television, it is functioning exactly as a political party would.
"Businesses are the backbone of a thriving country.
They create jobs and opportunities, employing 10 million of the 12 million Australians who work. They innovate, export and support vibrant local communities.
This is accompanied by a series of pictures depicting men and women engaged in or beginning a small business and telling their own story. At the bottom of the page it contains a general invitation to "Join our Campaign." Very similar sentiments were expressed in a radio interview Westacott did in Perth on May 1. Is the BCA going to represent the small person in the manner formerly done by the union movement?
Notwithstanding this rhetoric, requesting $200, 000 from its members puts it firmly at the big end of town, as no small business will be able to stump up an amount like this. And what will the BCA expect in return: the $65 billion of tax cuts promised to big business, only a small amount of which will end up being productive of increased job numbers and flow to those being appealed to for Australia at Work. The hypocrisy of its position can easily be pointed out, yet it may also be a sign that the BCA is perceptive of the public distaste for neoliberal governments and the severe contraction of the consultancy-lobbying industries that could flow from this. Though this might be overestimating the perspicacity of its members.

Get our budget help and see your true financial state.
Getting budget help can be an essential part of your finances especially when you are dealing with debt or a financial shift in your life. Or, you may be seeking better ways to save money.
We never had a budget. But, once my wife quit her job, we knew it would benefit us to understand our finances with greater detail. We needed budget help. We wanted practical ways to save money.
Doing all of this consumed a lot of time. It was not a fun process. But, knowing where we stood financially was worth it all.
Getting the hard numbers created an awareness around our financial position. This awareness, just like freedom, creates choices. If we don't know where we are in the map, how do we know where we are going?
Here are some steps to take when determining and adjusting your budget to fit your needs.
Gather - Gather all income figures. You can include personal as well as business earnings.
Gather all expense figures. Use your mortgage, bank, credit card, and other statements. We suggest labeling your expenses. Classify things like entertainment, food, dining, pet food, etc. This process helps you see if you are spending too much in a certain area.
Label - Label each expense under 3 categories: Productive (P), Consumptive (C), and Destructive (D).
Productive expenses are things that are essential to living or help you become better in certain aspects of your life. These are things like life insurance, your mortgage, music lessons, clothing, and the Internet.
Consumptive expenses are things that help you consume but deliver no essential benefits to your well being. These are things like excessive shopping, cable, dining out all the time, and lavish vacations.
Destructive expenses are things that decrease your lifestyle and would behoove you to spend your money elsewhere. These are things like gambling, drug use, and excessive bank fees.
Be honest in your labeling.
Calculate - Run your figures. Take your income minus expenses. If you end up with a positive number, then you are positively cashflowing: Good! If you end up with a negative number, then you are negatively cashflowing: An opportunity for change and growth.
Adjust - If you are negatively cashflowing, take a look at the expenses that you have labeled D (destructive). These are expenses that you can do without and will benefit your lifestyle.
Next, take a look at your C (consumptive) expenses. Determine which ones you can live without.
And, if you have extra cash, learn how to pay off credit card debt using our DOLP™ calculator.
If you are positively cashflowing, that does not mean there isn't room for improvement. Take a look at the same labels and see where you can make your adjustments.
Yes! Consider spending your money on more productive items and services. These can be coaching courses, books on financial freedom, and other learning material that can help improve you.
As a result, you could turn those expenses into an extra income stream.
Seeking budget help gives you the head start to efficiently and effectively track your income and expenses. Sure, there are ways to make quick money. But, if you don't know where your money is going, you may miss where the leaks are.
Knowing the figures and where you stand financially makes your journey towards financial freedom a smoother one.

Q: How to restrict an xs:choice containing xs:any? If I have a xs:complexType that conatins this:
<xs:choice minOccurs='0' maxOccurs='unbounded'>
   <xs:any/>
</xs:choice>

I understand that xs:any meany any valid element, but normally, I wouldn't want my root element to be used anywhere except as root, so can I prevent that by saying 'any except the root (or any other specific) element' ?

A: I think an ideal solution would be to refactor the schema so that you have one type that does not include <xs:any/> and another one with it <xs:any/>, that is if you really have to use if for some reason.
In general <xs:any/> is a very strong statement that throws the validation out of the window as it pretty much allows anything from any namespace, having said that what you're probably after here is processContents="strict" or processContents="lax" attribute, so:
<xsd:any processContents="strict"/>

means that for any namespace it will have to validate against a schema, even if the schema doesn't exists
or (probably better for your case):

This will only require validation if the schema exists.
Because you are defining a schema for your own namespace, this will work - ie if you try to use a root element from your own/default namspace - it will validate it against that namespace and tell you it's not allowed.
You can refer to the W3C Spec for more details.

Money undeniably is one of the most important things in the world. It is therefore unsurprising that the average adult spends a chunk of their lives thinking about it and sometimes too obsessed with money: how to make it, how to save it, how to invest it, how to manage it and how to spend it.
Money is simply a tool. What makes it so essential for your daily existence are the numerous things it can do for you.
Money offers you more freedom of choices, better quality of life and a feeling of security.
It pays to pay attention to your financials to avoid a life of deprivation, debts, and regrets. But excessively obsessing over your finances can make you miserable.
One time-tested strategy to improve your finances is to spend less and save more. But extending excessive frugality to your wellbeing and healthcare could mess your life up.
If you find it difficult to visit a doctor when you're down with an ailment because it's expensive, then you need to rethink your approach to saving money. An often overlooked symptom or injury could turn out to be life-threatening if treated with scrimp-induced levity.
It can be tough for some people to spend their money, especially those that had gone without it for extended periods of time. And it's totally OK to query every purchase to keep you from spending impulsively and on unnecessary stuff.
Just don't allow your obsession with money prevent you from spending on your health when you ought to.
Finding ingenious ways to save money on groceries can help your finances. But depending on coupons for every purchase might be hurting your health.
You will end up buying only processed food because you don't have coupons for whole fresh food. While some processed food like canned beans, whole-cereal grain, and frozen fruit can be nutritious, consuming processed food with loads of sodium, added sugar and trans-fat could cause health problems.
Choosing to eat fast food because it's cheap is another way you might be ruining your health. Fast food contains high levels of saturated fat which causes an increase in blood cholesterol and obesity – all risk factors for stroke and heart disease.
Are those few dollars in savings worth your life?
There are people who are so keen on improving their finances that they shun health insurance, with the hope that they won't need it. But if you opt out of coverage when you can afford it, the Affordable Care Act stipulates you pay a fee when filing your tax returns.
Yet, some people will rather pay the fee because it's cheaper than an insurance premium.
The reality, however, is that avoiding health insurance may not save you any money in the long run.
Well, accidents happen. And when you need healthcare, say in the case of an emergency, having insurance coverage will help you save more than paying out of pocket.
A visit to the emergency room could devastate your finances and ruin you if you are not covered by insurance.
According to a survey by the Fidelity Investments and the Stanford Center on Longevity, 47 percent of men and 69 percent of women reported higher stress levels after taking on debt.
They slept worse, put on weight and became less active due to being indebted.
These problems are worsened by dwelling on the debt and worrying about how to pay it off. Coming up with a clear repayment strategy often helps alleviate this fear.
One strategy that others do and could help you pay back faster is to adjust your tax withholding. This will increase the money you receive in each paycheck that you can channel towards your monthly debt repayment.
Working long hours or working several jobs to make more money might put you at risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke. According to a study published in The Lancet medical journal, people who work 55 or more hours per week have a 13 percent greater chance of a heart attack and a 33 percent greater chance of a stroke.
Even if you are not working yourself to death trying to make as much money as possible, you'll miss out on having a life.
You shouldn't spend all your time at work with the hope that you'll able to enjoy life at a later age with all the money you've piled up.
Know that there are some things you might not be able to do when you retire.
By overworking yourself now, you only increase your chances of being less active in your later years due to physical limitations.
It's a good thing to spend sensibly. But constantly pinching pennies and obsessing about saving money will make you come across as a miserly killjoy.
And no one likes a cheapskate.
People will tend to avoid you if you are known for always looking for freebies, never paying full price or other extreme measures to save a buck or two. Your reputation and therefore your social life will be ruined. Keeping a close eye on your spending doesn't mean you have to become a social outcast. There are creative strategies you can devise to limit your spending without appearing like Scrooge himself.
If you take your finances too serious and obsess about saving money, you won't be able to enjoy the things life has to offer.
The reason we work is to take care of the essentials and some extras. While it's good to save, do not deny yourself a little luxury every now and then. Check out this article on how extreme frugality can drain the joy from your life.

Life is too short, and tomorrow is never guaranteed.
Some people suffer anxiety about spending money. There are books and articles that can help you build a healthy relationship with money. You can also get some therapy if you suffer from serious spending-related anxiety.
Extreme frugality or being obsessed with money is not normal and overthinking every expense is a miserable way to live.
All very good points. In the end, money is a tool to lead a successfully and happy life. When people lose sight of that is when money takes over their life and not in a good way.
Insurance is an important topic, especially life insurance. Too many folks ignore the need for it. If anyone depends on you for income or childcare, you should insure yourself. If you get 20 or 30 year term insurance and you're still kicking at the end of the policy, consider yourself lucky. It's not wasted money.
Life insurance should be a part of everyone's financial planning, period. Thanks for stopping by Mrs. Groovy.
Great points, obsession with saving money can cause you to lose in other areas of life. In the end there are many things that are more important than money, that also can't be purchased with money.
Obsession with money can ruin a relationship. It's all about living a balanced life.
As someone who scrimped on their healthcare and is paying for it now, I definitely agree with the points you've made here. There are times and places to save, but not to your own detriment.
I'd agree. If you skimp too much, you'll sometimes miss out on the finer things in life. I think balance is the key!

If you can't beat 'em, hope they get sick and can't play. That's Jason Pierre-Paul's motto, at least.
The New York Giants defensive end, who's probably (unfortunately) best known at this point for blowing up his hand with fireworks this past Fourth of July, spoke to the media Wednesday about the Giants' upcoming matchup against the New England Patriots. And Pierre-Paul had some interesting quotes about Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
At one point, JPP got a little overconfident in his abilities, insinuating the only reason New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees was able to throw for 511 yards and seven touchdowns in a 52-49 win over the Giants was because he wasn't playing.
JPP asked if Brees threw for 500 vs. Giants, what will Brady do? Answer: "I wasn't there. That's a big difference. Everybody knows that."
However, Pierre-Paul's confidence waned quite a bit when he was asked how the Giants could stop Brady.
JPP on Tom Brady: "You don't know. He could have an off game. He could be sick. I hope he's sick. That'd be better for us."
It's not really what you want to hear from a professional athlete, but it's also not wrong.

Manius Acilius Aviola was a senator of the Roman Empire. He was consul ordinarius in AD 54 with Marcus Asinius Marcellus as his colleague. Aviola is also recorded as being governor of Asia in 65/66. According to Brian Jones, Aviola was also curator aquarum (or "superintendent of the aqueducts") from 74 to 97. He is known almost solely from surviving inscriptions.
Aviola has been identified as the son of Gaius Calpurnius Aviola, suffect consul of AD 24. Assuming that he became consul anno suo, he would have been born around AD 22, making this relationship more likely. He is known to have lived into Domitian's reign, and that he married Aedia Servilia, the daughter of Marcus Servilius Nonianus (consul AD 35). Older authorities, such as Edmund Groag, have identified Aviola with the Avilius mentioned by Juvenal, but Gallivan has argued that Aviola is a different person.
Although it is not known if Aviola had any children, there is a Manius Acilius Aviola, suffect consul in 82, who is sometimes identified as his son, and Manius Acilius Aviola, ordinary consul in 122, who is sometimes identified as his grandson.
