Where can I find handy webs for an animal fact faile for the next project? The link that you have below is the number one "GO TO" research topic for kids, teachers and librarians. Free websites that provide animal facts for kids are one of my most common requests. I have spent LOTS of time searching the Internet for websites that are easy for elementary students to navigate. I hope that this post will make your job WAY easier.

Here is my above sql output if you see when the timestamp days differ , the value is not correct. Please check and help.

A: Your query is returning exactly the correct results (at least to the 6 decimal digits). The problem seems to stem from your expectations. Apparently, you are looking for diff to be minuets and seconds, however, this is not what you are getting. By extracting epoch and dividing by 60 your results are in minuets and fractional part of a minuet. In the selected the difference in time between pickup_time and order_time is 21:14 (min:sec) the result returned turns out to be 21:13.99998 (min:sec.fractional seconds). This is just another reason using epoch is not really a good practice (see Epoch Mania for others).
Correct the result by just subtracting the dates (you are already doing so). This gives the result as an interval in Hours:Minuets:Seconds. For your example it returns 00:21:14 (see demo)
select r.order_id
     , c.order_time
     , r.pickup_time
     , r.pickup_time - c.order_time as diff
  from runner_orders1 r
  join customer_orders1 c on c.order_id = r.order_id
 where distance != 0;

There was no outlook written for John Bormann in 2019. Check out the latest news below for more on his current fantasy value.
Bormann was outrighted to High-A Bradenton on Wednesday.
The Pirates needed an emergency catcher earlier this week, so they promoted Bormann all the way from High-A. He has just eight games of experience above Low-A, and he has never done much with the bat, so we may not hear his name again for quite some time.
Bormann was optioned back to High-A Bradenton on Monday.
The Pirates recalled Bormann from High-A Bradenton on Sunday, the Associated Press reports.

Q: Linq To SQL: left join and vb.NET I have this SQL query:
SELECT TOP 1 r.* FROM dbo.Request r
  LEFT JOIN dbo.Process p
  ON r.IdReq = p.IdReq
WHERE IdProcess Is NULL
ORDER BY r.ReqDate ASC

I want write it in a vb.net procedure, using Linq To SQL syntax:
Private Function getOldestRequest() As Request
    Dim dc As ProcessDataContext = new ProcessDataContext(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("...").ConnectionString);

    Dim pr = From r In dc.Request
             From p In dc.Process.Where(Function(v) v.IdReq = r.IdReq And v.idProcess Is Nothing)
             Select New {Request = r}

    Return pr
End Function

This is what I wrote, but I get error, on the Return line.

A: LINQ statements return IEnumerable objects, and your method is returning a single Request object. In your case looks like you only need to return the first result of the LINQ statement.
Something like:
    Dim pr = (From r In dc.Request
         From p In dc.Process.Where(Function(v) v.IdReq = r.IdReq And v.idProcess Is Nothing)
         Select New {Request = r}).FirstOfDefault
    Return pr

A: Change your Select to
Select r

And your return to
Return pr.OrderBy(Function(v) v.RecDate).FirstOrDefault


Recently a friend and I had a falling out because of words used in an email. The content was unadulterated human drama. First a defensive position was taken, then an injured ego, then perpetuating cycles of explanation, then more hurt feelings and on and on it went…. All of it was exhausting to read and even more complex to try to sort out. The more words used in any attempt to detangle from the misunderstanding the deeper and deeper the drama continued… Words are often a trap of the mind! Then a realization came to the surface: fear is REALLY completely gone from whatever is left of Kate (no-body, no-thing, no-mind)….And with fear gone, the ability to listen to someone try and fool themselves and (the apparent) me also left. The position they were taking was defensive and ego-based and was identified immediately. And all I was doing was perpetuating the cycle simply by continuing to respond in effort to point to truth. During the event and afterwards, I attempted to remain completely in observation mode. Then took additional time to reflect on what happened. Needless to say it was very odd to feel what was arising. Did Kate become completely indifferent to human emotion? Was she compassionless? Was she just a big mean person now? Then something even stranger occurred! I began laughing and couldn't stop. These questions were really funny. A realization, understanding and acceptance then arose that when "big bad fear" is gone, his little cronies: "opinion" and "belief"take a hike too. Without these conditioned beliefs present, life becomes quite humorous. Through this process something else surfaced too. A message/memory of something I read recently came in….Lori Ann, (a fellow blogger ) wrote about a disagreement she had with her boyfriend. Something that caused him great suffering to the point he was going to end their relationship. She suggested calmly and with out resistance, to take some time and if you still feel this way in a few days then so be it -(Lori -pardon my paraphrasing your words…) And I had done something kind of similar, I suggested to my friend, "when you are done reacting and taking this personally call me and we can speak in person or over the phone". Immediately after this statement ALL obligations to fix it were gone. Also it was observed that there was quite a different vibrational feeling, I was no-longer invested in anyway to the event or the outcome. Previously there always existed this "effort to fix" misunderstandings including the actions of "taking inappropriate responsibility of another person's reactions". And this was always accompanied by residual guilt and then an apology in "effort to fix". Oddly enough I reconnected with some old friends on Skype, Penelope and Nick. Several years ago, we spent a lot of time in Satsung and I also participated in a silent weekend retreat. Let's just say they were the first to pop my spiritual-seeking cherry! Nick is a Spiritual Teacher of Self-Inquiry. He also has a new book available (book info below). Penelope, his beautiful and talented wife specializes in publishing, writing and is also a Certified Biofeedback Technician. My fondest memory of her was during a silent retreat, I had a major break through following a dynamic meditation. She sat with me while I recovered from it so to speak. She is truly an angel and I am so happy to have reconnected with them, especially now that Kate is a no-body! I digress…. During our Skype visit the subject of the "filter being gone" came up. I mentioned that I was adjusting to having "no filter" and that it recently created a lot of reaction. Nick chuckled and said, yeah, isn't it interesting when your resistance to "what is" has disappeared but others are still resisting. I reflected on this message and then concluded inside myself that when the mind goes, anything goes!!! So on that note I would like to share a link to Nick, his info and book.
Thank you both for your friendship, love, & support, you continue to be a spiritual compass pointing directly towards truth and living a liberated life!
Thank you I am for this moment!

Very interesting stuff, Kate – but the paragraph is your friend ;') That many words without a visual break make me dizzy.
Yes, yes yes. The "dizzying" effect is too many words with no structure. Another trap of words. 🙂 one would never know Kate actually did graduate college and many an English professor would frown …. Hehe shhhh don't tell them..
However, blog surfaced just like it is …and no editing happens as each article in this blog is just arising , no intention exists to acquire readership or sculpt things to make them more appealing for others… It is just like life… Just happening.
Truth, Freedom, happiness & joy to you!!!!

SEC Announces Record-Setting Whistleblower Award
On March 19, the SEC announced that it had awarded a combined $83 million in whistleblower award to three whistleblowers. This SEC whistleblower award is the largest ever under the...
Whistleblowers who know of fraud either in the regulation of securities, commodities, options and futures, banking and mortgages or in the reporting and payment of taxes, customs duties and tariffs can file complaints under federal agency whistleblower programs, including with the SEC, CFTC, IRS, and the DOJ. In addition, they may be able to file a False Claims Act qui tam complaint in court. As former prosecutors and as whistleblower lawyers, we are familiar with the priorities of the agencies that enforce these laws and have the expertise to present a compelling case on behalf of our whistleblower clients.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) whistleblower program offers significant protections and financial awards to individuals or groups of individuals who voluntarily provide information involving false financial reporting, fraudulent offerings, market manipulation, insider trading, and similar securities law violations as well as bribery and kickbacks to foreign officials in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
Commodities & Futures Fraud
The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) whistleblower program offers significant protections and financial awards to individuals or groups of individuals who voluntarily provide information about fraud or market manipulation involving futures, options, swaps, forex, commodities or leveraged transactions, or similar violations of the Commodity Exchange Act.
Customs Fraud
When people and companies bring goods into the United States to sell them, they frequently have to pay a tax or tariff called a customs or import duty. In 2019, customs duties brought in $71 billion to the federal government. Our customs system relies on importers accurately reporting the type, value, and country of origin for the merchandise they bring into the U.S. and paying the right import duties.
But unscrupulous importers find many ways to cheat the government and gain an unfair advantage over their competitors. According to a 2019 study, there were approximately 65,000 unpaid customs duty bills totaling $4.5 billion from 1993 to 2018 that the government is still trying to collect.
The government has long explained that it is very hard to catch customs fraud on its own. For this reason the government has increasingly relied on whistleblowers and the False Claims Act to combat and deter customs fraud. Whistleblowers have helped the government recover millions of dollars in customs fraud and received significant whistleblower rewards
Tax fraud deprives the federal and state governments of revenue to fund their programs. In a recent analysis of the nation's 'tax gap,' the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) estimated that corporations and individuals fail to pay more than $450 billion in federal taxes each year. States also suffer from significant unpaid taxes, including income and sales taxes. The IRS actively encourages whistleblowers to come forward to report those who fail to pay their fair share of federal taxes through a whistleblower tip program established in 2006.
Bank & Mortgage Fraud
Federal law provides financial incentives of up to $1.6 million for whistleblowers who confidentially report fraud and related misconduct in the banking and financial services industries to the U.S. Department of Justice. In addition, the federal and state False Claims Act qui tam or whistleblower provisions may be used in certain banking and mortgage fraud cases.

Q: CMS for multiple projects/brands I am searching for a CMS, which allows me to manage multiple brands/companies/customers at once. So, basically a CMS administrator.
Across all the providers I've found so far, these are for a single brand only. Does something like this even exist or do I basically need to setup a new CMS environment for each customer and manually manage it?
Even with "multi-tenant CMS" they, as for what I have seen, only provide the content for the same brand/company, just across different platforms and use-cases.

Havergal College
Photo Credit: @pppools
Toronto, Ontario | C.1894
When Havergal College opened its doors in Toronto, Canada in 1894, its approach to education was exceedingly modern by today's standards. Named after the famous female musician and author Frances Ridley Havergal, Havergal has been female-focused long before it became a trend in the 21st century.
Affiliated with the Anglican Church, but allowing girls of all faiths into the school, Havergal College underwent an explosive period of growth in the ensuing decades. By 1924, the school board had purchased an additional 13 pieces of real estate in Toronto.
The school's first principle, Ellen Mary Knox, had graduated from the prestigious Oxford University, and was known for asking her students "What are you going to do?"
The picture above captures an area in Havergal's athletic center. The green and yellow flags hanging over the 25-meter regulation-size pool represent the school colors, although many more color combinations can be found on campus.
Havergal features a Hogwarts-esque house system consisting of 10 houses with their own colors and animal mascots. Each house is named after a notable alumni, and incoming students are assigned a house upon admission to Havergal.

Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea has confirmed that his memoir will be published Sept. 25.
Plans for the book, titled Acid for the Children, were initially revealed in 2014. Grand Central Publishing said in a press release that the memoir tells the legendary bassist's "fascinating life story, complete with all the dizzying high and the gutter lows you'd expect from an L.A. street rat turned world-famous rock star."
Flea moved from the suburbs of New York to Los Angeles with his mother jazz musician step-father. In California, Flea became inundated with jazz music, where he developed a love for rebellion and music.
In the past Flea has talked about his challenging adolescence, which found him on the wrong side of the law more than once. Flea credits music with saving him from a life of crime, noting that he used to commit burglaries for fun.
Flea has said that the only reason he kept going to school as a teenager was because he enjoyed band.
Since getting his break with the Red Hot Chili Peppers in the '90s, Flea has dedicated much of his time and money to fighting for art and music programs in public schools.
In 2001, Flea built the Silverlake Conservatory of Music entirely with his own money.
The conservatory offers private lessons for orchestral and band instruments, along with ensemble classes. It also gives free lessons and instruments to qualifying students. Since building the school, Flea has started hosting annual fundraisers to help continue to fund and expand it.
"I encourage everybody to reach out into the communities they live in and do what they can to help out," Flea told Rolling Stone last year while discussing his concerns about arts funding cuts on the federal level. "...[We] can personally reach out in our communities to do stuff that is profoundly helpful."
The Red Hot Chili Peppers have toyed with the idea of retirement after releasing and touring the world in support of their latest studio album, The Getaway, in 2016.
The band played three festivals in South America last month but has no dates on its calendar for the rest of this year.


When it comes to raw, animal, electric, sexual energy on stage, there is NO ONE who compares to Anna Mae Bullock — Tina Turner. Hold onto your seats, it's going to be a bumpy ride.
Known for the standards Nutbush City Limits and Proud Mary, the legendary Tina Turner staged the greatest comeback in rock history after the success of 1984's Private Dancer album.
Private Dancer marked the fifth studio solo record but the first for her new label. . . Capital. Turner had scored a UK top ten smash with a cover of soul crooner Al Green's Let's Stay Together.
Studio sessions involved four production teams including Rupert Hine, guitarist for rock band the Fixx; and Martyn Ware and Ian Craig Marsh of 80's synth trio Heaven 17.
The collection's biggest hit was the #1 smash which earned Turner Grammies® for Record of the Year and Best Pop Female Vocal Performance – a little number called What's Love Got to Do With It.
The follow-up top five single nabbed her first of four Best Rock Female Vocal Performance Grammies – the no-nonsense, empowering Better Be Good to Me.
The title track, penned by Dire Straits' front man Mark Knopfler, also landed in the top ten.
Other singles included a rendition of Ann Peebles' R&B classic I Can't Stand the Rain and the commanding Show Some Respect.
The international version of Private Dancer included a slow, melodic version of the Beatles' Help, which remained a concert favorite.
With this collection, Turner recorded the type of uptempo, gritty rock-n-roll she loved to perform on stage.
Standout cuts range from David Bowie's haunting 1984 to the Jeff Beck, guitar-driven Steel Claw.
That same year, Turner lent her talents to Bowie's romantic Tonight as well as the raucous duet with Canadian Bryan Adams called It's Only Love.
Adams also penned and produced a track on her 1986 Break Every Rule LP, which garnered her third female rock Grammy® – the thunderous Back Where You Started.
Private Dancer has sold a staggering 25 million copies worldwide and established Tina Turner as a major recording star.
Her loyal fans never tire of Rolling on the River and always want to feel more of that River Deep, Mountain High.


NEW YORK (AP) - Jamal Adams believes this is the dawning of a new era for the New York Jets.
The uniforms will feature combinations of a unique shade of green called "Gotham Green" - a change from the team's familiar hunter green - and "Spotlight White," along with "Stealth Black" that's featured in an alternative uniform the team can wear up to three times in a season. The jerseys also feature "New York" in small letters across the chest and above the players' numbers.
Along with Bell, the Jets signed wide receiver Jamison Crowder, linebacker C.J. Mosley, cornerback Brian Poole and kicker Chandler Catanzaro, along with acquiring left guard Kelechi Osemele from Oakland. They also have the third overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft, and could target an edge rusher - still a need for the team - or general manager Mike Maccagnan could trade it for more selections.

Wayward beaver heads back into the water
By MIKE CORN
mcorn@dailynews.net
Mel Madorin certainly can't talk to the animals, but he thinks a beaver stranded out of water Wednesday might have been iced out of his home in Big Creek, and perhaps became a bit dehydrated.
The whole incident started Wednesday when Hays animal control officer Pam Jones was notified of a reclusive beaver -- a sight not often seen out of water -- waddling through the west side of Frontier Park. She called Capt. Mel Madorin over at the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks.
Together, they used catch-poles, basically dragging the high-and-dry animal back over to the banks of the Big Creek, which runs alongside the park.
"He was more concerned in making sure we didn't touch him," Madorin said of why the catch-poles were used.
One they make it to creekside, there weren't any holes evident that would provide access for the beaver to get back in its home.
"I don't know if it was iced out," he said.
That's when a hole was broken and the beaver brought to the water.
"I thought he might have been dehydrated," Madorin said, "and sure enough, he started drinking heavy."
It's not known, however, if that's the problem, or if there was something else wrong with the young adult.
Madorin said Jones saw the animal back out of the water Wednesday evening, but it was not out and about Thursday morning when she checked back in.
If he's spotted, it's likely he'll be moved.
"I'll move him off to a better location away from people," Madorin said.
That way, the animal will be out of harm's way from people who frequent the park and no people will be endangered.
Beavers aren't normally aggressive, Madorin said, but like any other animal, they will bite when cornered.
Other than the possibility of being a bit dehydrated, Madorin said the animal appeared healthy.
"If there is something wrong with him, it's not real apparent," he said.
Beavers are a common feature along waterways in the area, including Big Creek, and are known to inhabit the area running through the Fort Hays State University campus.
"Normally, you don't see them," he said.
If the beaver returns to dry land, Madorin said its best to leave him alone and either Jones or KDWP should be called.

SOUTHEAST Queensland looks set to be awarded the biggest City Deal in the country, with Prime Minister Scott Morrison revealing support for an ambitious plan to modernise the region.
Mr Morrison - who spent hours sitting in traffic during his recent trip to Brisbane - will today answer the call of southeast Queensland mayors, the State Government and The Courier-Mail's Future SEQ campaign to transform one of the fastest-growing regions in the nation.
He will be presented with a blueprint to supercharge southeast Queensland's economy while protecting its world-class lifestyle when 10 mayors and the State Government begin negotiations in Canberra as early as tomorrow.
The far-reaching goals include transforming the public transport system with a new wave of major projects to speed up services, enabling commuters to get across the same city in 30 minutes and from anywhere in the region to Brisbane within 45 minutes.
Economic modelling by consultants KPMG found the plan would deliver a $58 billion boost to the rapidly growing region over the next 25 years.
The Transforming SEQ proposal would bring all three levels of government together on an agreed set of infrastructure, economic, development and sustainability priorities and funding models for a quarter of a century.
Mr Morrison told The Courier-Mail he wanted the deal to go ahead. It is the second City Deal for Queensland, with a rugby league stadium the anchor project in Townsville.
"I am committed to partnering with the State Government and local councils to deliver a City Deal for southeast Queensland,'' Mr Morrison said.
"Already we are delivering billions of dollars of funding for congestion-busting roads and rail projects, and this new deal will help unlock further investment to make sure Queensland remains a major tourism destination and one of the world's premier locations to live, work and raise a family.
"I want people to get home sooner and have dinner as a family.
"I want tradies to spend less time on the road and more time at the worksite."
One in seven Australians live in southeast Queensland and several seats held by the Federal Government are marginal, such as Dickson, Petrie, Brisbane and Forde.
The announcement today will be a key theme of the coming election campaign, with Mr Morrison to focus on working with other levels of governments to ensure families and workers have the infrastructure of the 21st Century.
The State Government and the region's mayors will also pitch their plan to Labor this week, although Opposition infrastructure spokesman Anthony Albanese has already offered initial support.
The ambitious plan proposes huge investments to position SEQ as the country's leading smart digital region.
The need to lock in such an agreement was the No.1 point in the action plan developed from The Courier-Mail's recent Future SEQ series investigating the challenges and opportunities as the area booms between now and 2043.
"SEQ is growing and changing and we know that we have to work together to maintain the great lifestyle that makes this community special," Deputy Premier and Treasurer Jackie Trad said.
"We have so much untapped potential, which is why we want to ensure growth makes our region better, not just bigger."
The report says southeast Queensland - from the border to Noosa and west to Toowoomba - is growing at twice the OECD average.
The current 3.5 million population will swell by 1.9 million over the next 25 years, requiring an extra 800,000 homes and another one million jobs.
"We are at a pivotal moment for SEQ, and a City Deal that brings together the three levels of government with the community and industry around a common agenda could be a catalyst to make the region even better," the 60-page document says.
"Through a City Deal, we can partner to be more prosperous and more liveable - one region that is connected locally and competing globally."
The proposal details 35 "opportunities" including six which it dubs "game changers".
They include building on the multibillion-dollar Cross River Rail and Brisbane Metro projects with a new raft of public transport initiatives.
It says connecting Inland Rail to the Port of Brisbane would spark a trade and enterprise spine stretching from Toowoomba to the coast, and unlock new employment in fast-growing areas such as Ipswich and Logan.
Growing the network of innovation precincts is a crucial element, and the proposal sets a target of positioning SEQ as Australia's leading digital technology centre.
There would be more strategic planning and development of infrastructure and services for high-growth mini-cities springing up across the region.
MP for Fairfax Ted O'Brien, who has repeatedly pushed for a City Deal, said it was a unique opportunity "to get ahead of the population curve and plan for investments from both private and public sectors".
Krisha Rajput, who relies on public transport for her job in Greenslopes, said the area needed faster public transport.
"The buses are pretty fast but the trains could definitely run faster," she said.

В книге описывается биография Виттории Кальдони, юной и прекрасной натурщицы из Альбано, ставшей известной во всей Европе в двадцатых годах XIX века. Однако, мало кто знает, что путь Виттории связан с Россией: она стала музой-вдохновительницей великого художника А. А. Иванова и женой украинского художника Г. И. Лапченко, жизнь и творчество которого впервые здесь реконструируются с исторической точностью. Виттория последовала за мужем в Россию, разделив его трагическую судьбу. Именно она является источником укоренившегося в русской культуре мифа о «девушке из Альбано», оставившего важный след в живописи, эстетике, литературе (многие видят в ней прототип гоголевской Аннунциаты) и даже в культуре наших дней.

John Glaser: The Evolution of the Health Care Chief Information Officer
Competencies required of CIOs growing in depth and breadth
In all industries, the last several decades have seen an evolution in the role of the executive in charge of information technology: the chief information officer. Today the CIO is viewed as an important contributor to the organization's strategy who ensures that applications, infrastructure and analytics support the day-to-day operations of the organization.
In health care, the College of Healthcare Information Management Executives has chronicled and guided this evolution. CHIME notes that the job description of the technical manager responsible for IT operations now calls for competencies in vendor management, large project management, technology interpretation, managing change, customer service and innovation.
The abilities and talents required for the CIO position also have become more substantial. CIOs must be leaders, develop and manage great teams, possess terrific communication skills, establish credibility and trust, be adaptable and have a deep understanding of the organization's business as well as the IT industry.
This decades-long evolution has been characterized as a progression from technology manager to CIO 1.0, to CIO 2.0. Each stage of the progression places new demands on the CIO while preserving the demands of prior stages.
As we undergo substantial transformation in health care, the next step in the evolution of the CIO will occur — it's dubbed "CIO 3.0." The CIO 3.0 will be shaped by five factors.
The Transformation of the Health Care Business Model
Reactive sick care is being replaced by proactive efforts to keep people well and out of the hospital. Fragmented care delivery capabilities are being supplanted by initiatives to create and manage cross-continuum systems of care. Providers that were rewarded for volume are increasingly being rewarded for quality and efficiency.
New forms of reimbursement such as bundles and various types of capitation are causing the shift in the business model. To thrive under the new models, providers are creating health systems that include venues along the care spectrum. They are also introducing new processes to support the need to manage care between encounters, keep people healthy and ensure that utilization is appropriate.
For the CIO steeped in inpatient care, knowledge of hospital operations must expand to include knowledge of the operations and needs of long-term care facilities, patient support communities and small physician practices. An understanding of the intricacies of fee for service must expand to include payments based on bundles and capitation.
This knowledge must have some depth. It will not be enough to say the words "population management"; the CIO will need to understand how such management really works, have a clear understanding of the associated IT needs and appreciate the gains in health that are possible vs. those that are not.
Skills in managing complex implementations still will be necessary, but those skills must broaden to include redesigning processes that traverse care settings, tuning clinical decision support logic to achieve chronic care outcomes, and assisting clinicians and managers in developing the analytics capabilities necessitated by new payment arrangements.
The Relentless Innovation in Information Technology
Information technology innovation continues at a remarkable pace. The Internet of Things is creating a reality of intelligent homes, cars and equipment — environmental sensors and devices attached to patients. Social media use continues to grow and become more sophisticated and capable. Mobile personal devices have become the device of choice for personal and professional activities. Big data has exceptional potential, although it is cloaked in a dense fog of hype.
The CIO must be able to educate the organization's leaders and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of electronic health record vendors, the opportunities enabled by the Internet of Things, the maturity of population health technologies and the state of big data approaches.
Moreover, to an unprecedented degree, IT now sits at the foundation of care delivery. The impressive surge in meaningful use-induced EHR adoption has resulted in the vast majority of providers becoming dependent on IT for clinical operations and patient care. Initiatives designed to enable the organization to manage populations and care over a continuum are not possible without the implementation of a new category of IT applications that complement traditional IT investments.
The transformation of the industry means that IT is no longer a necessary back office evil — it is an essential foundation if an organization is to thrive. That has not been true in the past; provider organizations could do quite well in a fee-for-service world without computerized provider order entry and other advanced IT applications.
On top of all this is the menace of hacking, thefts of large amounts of data, and the ability of malevolent individuals and nations to disable applications and cripple the ability of an organization to function.
These advances in IT require that the CIO become conversant in the capabilities, maturity and potential contribution of a wide range of new information technologies. In addition, the organization's dependence on IT for it to function heightens the importance of a well-managed and secure IT infrastructure and application base.
A Shift in Strategic Emphasis
In many ways, the last several years have seen the health care field lay the foundation for a transformed health care system. Meaningful use has led to the broad implementation of EHRs and an increase in the exchange of patient data among providers. Health care providers have engaged in a wave of consolidation leading to the creation of multivenue health systems. Most providers have embarked on various forms of risk arrangement.
With the core of the foundation in place, providers are now in a position to transform care at scale by, for example, moving from managing the chronic diseases of their employees to managing chronic diseases of the community.
For the health care CIO, this means a shift from focusing on the large-scale implementation of EHRs to extending that investment to support care management, enabling the management of a population's health, introducing extensive evidence-based decision support, developing superior analytics capabilities, creating and redesigning processes, and improving the efficiency of clinical and administrative processes.
This is a shift away from making the foundational investment and toward obtaining the return from that investment.
Stepping Up Skills and Attributes
CHIME surveys have identified several personal characteristics of effective CIOs. Examples include emotional intelligence, communication skills, integrity, business understanding, and the ability to hire, grow and manage a world-class team.
These characteristics have been attributes of effective CIOs for many years. However, with every stage in the evolution, the increasing strategic and operational importance of IT has meant that these characteristics had to be present and performed at even higher levels. In a similar fashion, the performance of athletes in the 2016 Olympics must be higher than the performance at the last Olympics.
A level of performance that might have earned a CIO a letter grade of A 10 years ago will earn him or her a B or even a C in the next stage.
In addition to a higher bar on interpersonal characteristics, the CIO must grapple with the exacerbation of several problems (identified by the Cash Catalyst LLC) that confront the IT executive:
· CIOs must emphasize speed to value while implementing and managing infrastructure. IT leaders must innovate while delivering bulletproof systems. CIOs need to have great vision while being great managers who deliver IT systems and services that are top-notch.
· IT executives must enable others to apply IT while controlling budgets and enforcing standards. CIOs must work with leaders to understand the potential of IT while working with the IT team to understand the business.
IT Leadership Becomes a Team Sport
As the sophistication and impact of the technology deepens, the competencies and background required to ensure that the technology is implemented and used well also deepen. This has led (and will lead) to new senior IT leadership roles that concentrate on a particular aspect of the technology.
The chief medical information officer has been created to further the ability of the organization to work with physicians on implementation and use opportunities and issues. Some organizations have established the chief nursing information/informatics officer to perform a comparable function with the nursing community.
In addition to these roles, we increasingly see the following:
· chief information security officer to ensure that data and application safeguards are in place;
· chief technology officer to manage technology assessments, infrastructure partnerships and IT architecture;
· chief digital officer to address the use of social media and patient-facing applications;
· chief IT data officer to oversee data quality and capture data analytics.
The CIO will need to work effectively with other senior IT executives who have domain knowledge that is more substantial in a particular field. Moreover, sometimes these other roles do not have a direct reporting relationship to the CIO. For example, the CMIO may report to the chief medical officer.
In addition, as health care organizations become more experienced with IT, other members of the C-suite have become much more facile with identifying IT opportunities and ensuring that implemented systems deliver desired organizational gains. For example, CFOs are now much savvier about IT than they were 10 years ago. These executives are becoming comfortable making IT decisions that were previously the purview of the CIO.
Hence, as the CIO must learn to share IT leadership with multiple other executives, IT leadership increasingly will be collaborative leadership.
A Transition of Degree
Several significant factors are shaping the health care CIO 3.0: the transformation of the health care business model, continued advances in information technology, the shift in emphasis from EHR implementation to harvesting the investment, the need for excellent interpersonal attributes and skill to achieve a higher bar of performance, and skillfully managing and working with the extended executive IT team.
The transition from the back-office technical manager to an executive who is a valued member of the leadership team was a transition of "kind." Those two roles are different and the individuals who can effectively fulfill those roles are also different.
The transition from the CIO 2.0 to CIO 3.0 is a transition of "degree." Both roles require strategic technology understanding, excellent C-suite working relationships, management of large implementations, terrific communication skills and the ability to create a superb IT team.
The characterization of the next shift as one of degree should not lead us to underappreciate the magnitude of the shift. The changes in each factor are substantive, the emerging health care business model is quite different from that of its predecessor, the diversity and potency of emerging information technologies has no parallel, and the collective impact of the factors is extraordinary.
To offer an analogy: As I look at the plans of two of my daughters to get married this year, I am reminded that this shift from dating to marriage is a shift in the degree of commitment. No one doubts the magnitude of that shift. And no one doubts the importance of ensuring that the shift in degree is successful.

Caleb Ewan takes stage five on dramatic day at Giro d'Italia
Updated / Wednesday, 12 May 2021 21:17
Team Lotto-Soudal rider Caleb Ewan (R) outsprints Team Qhubeka Assos rider Giacomo Nizzolo
Caleb Ewan took victory on stage five of the Giro d'Italia as a crash-strewn finish in Cattolica ended the general classification hopes of Mikel Landa and Pavel Sivakov.
Australian Ewan took his fourth career Giro stage as he came from behind to outsprint Giacomo Nizzolo and Elia Viviani on the line – an 11th career second place in his home Grand Tour for the winless Nizzolo.
But Bahrain-Victorious' Landa did not finish the stage and left the race in an ambulance after a heavy crash involving Tuesday's stage winner Joe Dombrowski on the approach to town, crucially outside the three kilometre marker which would have spared those caught up any time losses.
Israel Start-Up Nation's Alessandro De Marchi avoided the spills to retain the pink jersey but called the tight, technical finish to the 177km stage from Modena "a crazy circus".
"The road was really difficult and technical, even too dangerous in my opinion so in the last 70km there was really a lot of stress and I hope the guys that crashed are fine," he said.
De Marchi's Irish team-mate Dan Martin (33rd) finished safely in the bunch and moved up two places to 19 in general classification, 2:08 behind De Marchi, while Nicolas Roche was 69th in the same time and is now 58th overall.
Team UAE Emirates' Dombrowski – second overnight – rode in battered and bruised on his 30th birthday, his king of the mountains jersey torn, as he tumbled down the standings, with Louis Vervaeke of Alpecin-Fenix now closest to De Marchi, 42 seconds down.
Sivakov, who had been a potential foil for Egan Bernal for the Ineos Grenadiers, also crossed the line in pain after his own incident 15km from the finish.
It was a dramatic climax to a relatively sedate stage, virtually pan flat and ridden in sunshine after Tuesday's wet and cold day finish in the mountains.
The threat of crosswinds did not materialise to leave the sprinters to contest affairs, and it was Ewan who had the class to come around the two Italians and tick one box in his goal of winning a stage of all three Grand Tours this season.
"It was a relief," the Lotto-Soudal rider said. "My goal this year is to win in all three and the first sprint stage didn't go so good, so there was a lot of pressure on me and all the team to do the job.
"They out-performed themselves, they were so good today and without them I couldn't have been so fresh at the finish."
Bahrain-Victorious later said Landa was being treated in hospital after breaking his collarbone and multiple ribs on his left side.
X-rays for Dombrowski came back clear but the American will be assessed for concussion before Thursday's 160km stage six from Grotte di Frasassi to Ascoli Piceno.

If you're using an external install of Python, you'll probably notice that the print statement doesn't work in Softimage 2013. That's because Softimage 2013 was compiled with Visual C++ 2010, and Python wasn't.
We recompiled the built-in Python that ships with Softimage 2012, so if you use that Python, the print statement works.
# the statement was ended by a comma.
I found this same workaround by googling "python print redirect stdout". For example, here.


We sure do hear a lot about Google and its self-driving cars lately. What seemed like an idea for a sci-fi movie just a decade ago is rapidly moving on to become reality – and it doesn't really matter what one thinks about it. We live in the age of technology, with progress in this field moving at breakneck speeds. What seemed impossible twenty (or even ten) years ago is an integral part of our lives today. It is quite certain that ten years from now we are going to laugh at how tame our suggestions about the future were.
However, although there is a lot of talk about self-driving cars, I found that I (as well as most of my acquaintances) actually now very little about them, except for the fact that they are, well, cars that somehow drive themselves. I decided to remedy that and read up a little on the subject.
The self-driving car is an extremely ambitious project by Google, aimed at changing the way we perceive individual transportation in the future. Seeing that the absolute majority of traffic-related accidents and deaths stem from human mistakes, Google intends to create cars that would eliminate this threat and allow everybody to be independent in their movements irrespective of age, physical condition, or ability to drive. People who previously were forced to stay in one place or be dependent on others for their transportation (elderly, visually impaired, children, etc.) would be able to drive wherever they wanted – easily, quickly, and more importantly, completely safely. All that is necessary is to input a location and press a button, the rest is done by the car itself.
Very well, but how exactly is it done? What is inside this car that you are supposed to entrust your life to? The car is equipped with sensors capable of detecting all kinds of objects at a considerable distance, allowing the AI controlling the car to navigate streets while safely avoiding collisions. Of course, Google cars are currently in the prototype stage , but they do exist and have been undergoing extensive road-testing for quite a while already. By now, their cars have covered almost 1.5 million miles, with only a handful of minor accidents. The vehicle at fault was usually a manually-driven car they collided with. Nevertheless, Google publishes all the traffic incidents and claims they are going to be used as learning experience in further perfection of their AI.
Google cars are not the first attempt at creating a self-driving car – not by a long shot. Actually, the first autonomous vehicles date back to the 1980s; however, they never left the prototype stage and their introduction was never attempted at such a large scale. Furthermore, knowing Google's reputation, it is probably safe to assume that in the very foreseeable future we may encounter real self-driving cars moving along our streets en masse that won't actually be that unbelievable a sight.
One thing is for certain; we live in the age of rapidly changing lifestyle paradigms. Those who are skeptical about self-driving cars today should think about the mobile revolution. It brought to us the world in which the majority of people are connected to the Internet around the clock by means of portable devices, which can be used as anything from phones to personal workout assistants. This would've seemed preposterous or incredibly far-fetched just a couple of decades ago; however, today's smartphones, apps, and constant online status are absolutely natural conditions of life for the vast majority of people. It is very likely that the same fate awaits self-driving cars. The best thing we can do is adapt to these changes.

Treating the fear of flying is a problem that cognitive behavioral therapy is perfectly suited for. Probably more people who are afraid to fly force themselves to fly anyway than force themselves to do almost any other feared activity. They will take medication or just hold on tight. For many people flying is a necessity and for others it's an essential part of their vacation. The more often an individual is in contact with whatever is making them anxious, the easier it is to treat. Fear of flying is more complicated because flying is usually not a frequent occurrence. Also, the patient knows that once they are on the plane, they are unable to escape. Escaping from extremely anxiety provoking situations is a favorite maneuver of anxious people. Cognitive behavioral therapy has a number of techniques to reduce anxiety to the point where a patient will feel confident enough to get on a plane.
How will Dr. Schwartz help me get over my fear of flying?
First, a story. A number of years ago a woman came to me about 3 months before she was scheduled to fly to Hawaii. Her husband was a frequent flier who got free tickets. She told him that she didn't think she could go. His response was, "Oh, you will be going". I asked her what she was afraid of and she said that she was afraid the plane would crash: a common response. This patient was also afraid of elevators. I asked her if she was afraid that elevators would crash. She was actually afraid of being trapped and then having a panic attack. We worked on reducing that fear and I gave her a positive sentence to say about getting on the plane. She was actually becoming less fearful as the trip got closer. Two weeks before the flight she said that the sentence I gave her was working great, but that it would never work on the plane. I assured her that it would. When I saw her in my office with a pineapple for me, I knew that it worked on the plane and that I would not need to do marriage counseling.
It's important to find out what, exactly, you are afraid of. Almost everyone says that they are afraid the plane will crash, but the real reason often takes some exploring to discover. It could be fear the plane will crash, but most often it's something else. Once we know the real reason for your fear, and what you are saying to yourself, we can design a treatment plan. If you have a flight coming up we will prepare you to deal calmly with that. If there is no flight in the near future, I will use other techniques that use imagery as well as positive sentences. Most often the fear of flying results from generalized high anxiety that has attached itself to a number of things. Reducing your undercurrent of anxiety and eliminating any panic attacks, is essential.

Today we are continuing our feature on Sewing for Halloween. Cassie transforms her girls into Owlette and Wonder Woman!
How cute are these Catalina swim suits from Violette Field Threads? Kari sews them for her girls and we get to see the version with and without the keyhole!
Summer time means swimming and young ladies need a lot of fashionable and functional suits. Heather uses fabric with built in SPF to help meet functionality part and the leotard # 10 from My Childhood Treasures meets the fashionable part.
Who doesn't love (and need) pockets in an apron? The reversibility of the Woman's Apron by My Childhood Treasures also allows for style mixed with functionality.
Hello, lovely readers! Heather from All Things Katy!, here! Do you know what time it is…? It's One Thimble Time!! Yay!! One Thimble is a quarterly digital sewing magazine (e-zine) that is chock-full of PDF sewing patterns, helpful sewing articles and gorgeous pictures.
The first pattern that I sewed from One Thimble #19 was the The Pinky Promise Bag by Little Moo Designs. This sweet purse, "....is designed with the tween age group in mind…" and my eight year old daughter (aka Miss Sassy Pants ;) fits the bill perfectly! The overall proportions of the Pinky Promise Bag are perfectly suited for the younger crowd and I loved being able to customize the cross-body shoulder strap to her height. I either already had the supplies on hand or, I was able to source them locally. This small project is perfectly suited to those wanting to venture into bag making, such as myself. Best of all, Missy LOVES the Pinky Promise Bag and carries it with here everywhere!
The second project that I tackled from One Thimble #19 was the Felt Activity Board by My Felt Lady (how cute is that name?!). This was a fun project to make simply using the supplies I had on hand. While this project does include A LOT of cutting, the included templates are not hard or complicated. It can easily be done while binge watching Superstore (not that I would know from experience…. ;). I love the simplicity of this Felt Activity Board and the sense of imagination and creative play it invokes!
As usual, One Thimble #19 does not disappoint! Every included pattern has so many creative, imaginative and PLAYFUL possibilities! Plus there are a number of amazing and relevant articles to read. With topics ranging from techniques to business, you'll be sure to find reading that is interesting to you! Have FUN sewing and reading!
Today we are sharing a fun tutorial to make a sunshine reading pillow using Cuddle fabric from Shannon Fabrics.
We are back again today with another tutorial and some fun creations using Shannon Fabrics. This project creates some more sophisticated accessories for Rachel's daughter but also maintain their practicality and washability.
We are back again today with some more amazing fabric and a project using Shannon Fabrics and a free Shannon Fabrics pattern. Today we have the Embossed Teal Arrow Cuddle, Lemon Cuddle, Lime Terry Cloth made into some perfectly adorable baby accessories.
Maryanna is sewing herself some love with this amazing Spin Me Round quilt by Modkid Boutique.

Emirates bags top aviation finance award
Emirates' Peermohamed accepts the '2003 Airline of the Year' award from Airfinance Journal's Whyte
EMIRATES was honoured with aviation's top finance award when it was recognised as '2003 Airline of the Year' at the 5th Annual Deal of the Year Award, held during the 24th Annual New York Airfinance Conference.
The award, from international magazine Airfinance Journal, which is published in London, is the only global aviation award to recognise financial performance.
The event capped a two-day conference attended by hundreds of airlines, bankers, financial decision-makers, regulators, lawyers, consultants and manufacturers. It gave Emirates an opportunity to underscore its first-ever North American route, starting from this month as ultra-longhaul Airbus A340-500 jets fly daily nonstop services between Dubai and New York.
Alasdair Whyte, managing editor of Airfinance Journal said: "Emirates' financial achievements in 2003 were simply phenomenal. On the treasury side, Emirates completed a string of innovative and landmark financing deals. It also made a record profit in what was the toughest year in global aviation history."
Riyaz Peermohamed, senior vice-president, corporate treasury for Emirates Group, said: "With a record-breaking $26 billion in new aircraft on order, Emirates' fleet will double to more than 130 jets in just eight years to accommodate rapid expansion to the world's major gateways, including New York and other US cities. Innovative financing and steadfast credibility with a wide range of regional and international resources have been, and will continue to be, critical to supporting this growth." Peermohamed also presented an Emirates case study during a seminar at the conference. Emirates' fleet of 67 wide-bodied jets is one of the youngest in the skies, with an average age of approximately four years.
