Q: Fair jury scoring metric (averaging Z scores or find an other fair metric with multiple juror groups) We are jurying entries into a competition, approx. 1000 entries on a scale of 1-100. We are looking to select the top lets say 10% of entries.
We have 4 groups (A,B,C,D) of jurors assigned randomly to entries to evaluate (let's say each group gets 250 entries).
The problem is that some jurors are much more strict than others (only scoring between 60-80 points) and some other jurors are much more generous (scoring between 75-95 on avg.).
If we just simply average the scores, some of the entries that are in a "low-scoring" juror group are highly disadvataged compared to another group that has more "generous" jurors.
We have started to use Z score to evaluate how much each juror voted above their own avg. score.
But how can we average the Z scores (or use an alternative metric) to make sure that we get a fair order of the best projects and can choose the winners? That somehow removes the effect that the projects are scored by different groups of jurors.

Barclays teams up with fintech business MarketInvoice
Institutional August 3, 2018 —by Valentina Kirilova 0
Barclays Plc (NYSE: BCS) has today announced that it is partnering with fintech business MarketInvoice, Europe's largest online invoice financing platform, in a deal that is set to transform the way small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the UK manage cash flow and accelerate growth.
The bank has committed to a significant minority stake in the firm to give Barclays' SME clients seamless access to innovative forms of finance. The new partnership is a key part of Barclays' plans to invest in new business models for growth, and MarketInvoice's ambition to broaden its reach across the UK.
Founded in 2011, MarketInvoice has funded invoices worth more than £2.7 billion, boosting cash flow for thousands of UK businesses. Barclays is the first high street bank to enter into a strategic partnership with MarketInvoice, giving their customer base access to the fintech's proprietary single invoice finance product as well as broader digital invoice finance facilities.
The terms of an invoice normally dictate a long payment period that can be up to 120 days, leaving businesses with a cash flow gap in the interim. With invoice financing, SMEs who sell goods or services to other businesses can upload or sync their invoices to MarketInvoice's platform and sell them to investors, unlocking fast access to funding.
The proposition will be introduced to Barclays' SME clients over the coming months in areas across the UK, including the East Midlands, West Midlands, Herts and North West London, with a full roll-out set to commence nationwide in 2019. Barclays also plans to fund invoices via the platform in the future, growing its asset base further.
Anil Stocker, MarketInvoice
Anil Stocker, MarketInvoice CEO, said:
It's exciting to be combining the knowledge and footprint of a 325-year old British banking institution with MarketInvoice's tech-led online finance solutions. Bringing this together in a strategic partnership can only mean good news for UK businesses, with the segment we're targeting responsible for upwards of 60% of UK employment.
Barclays has a long history of innovation being the first bank to introduce the credit card and the ATM. It makes total sense to partner and introduce our online business finance solutions for their large customer base.
It's easy to forget that the companies you see on the FTSE 100 all started as small businesses with founders following a passion. In focusing on the needs of these entrepreneurs through this collaboration, Barclays and MarketInvoice will truly transform the experience of UK companies in sourcing finance.
Ian Rand
Ian Rand, CEO of Barclays Business Bank, added:
Invoice finance is a product that has come of age in the digital era, it's efficient, effective and controllable for small businesses.
A number of our clients told us that they feel pressured into offering longer payment terms in order to stay competitive. This ties up their cash flow, preventing them from seizing growth opportunities.
Invoice financing gives small businesses the power to obtain funding in a fast and innovative way, and capitalise on those moments. Our corporate bank already offers invoice financing to large businesses, so it's great news that we're able to extend the proposition to work for our SME clients as well.
Barclays also recently launched £100,000 unsecured lending for SMEs, doubling its maximum for unsecured business loans from £50,000 to £100,000.
This increase adds to Barclays' unsecured lending offering which allows qualifying SME clients to access pre-assessed affordable lending up to £25,000 on the go via their mobile and through online banking, often receiving the cash that same day.

Erin Murphy on Health Care
Allow only non-profit insurers to do business in the state
Debate opened with a motion to send back to conference committee provisions allowing for-profit insurers to do business in Minnesota. "Premiums would likely increase with for-profits because they are profit-seekers," said the Senator introducing the motion, adding that there is no evidence that welcoming for-profit carriers into the state will stabilize the market.
Rep. Erin Murphy spoke in favor of sending the bill back to conference committee to strip out the for-profit provisions. She said legislators were unprepared to vote on changing the state's 40-year policy of allowing only non-profit insurers to do business in the state. No health plans or academic health experts testified in either the regular or conference committee to explain the changes to lawmakers, she said. "We really don't really know what this means," she said Source: PoliticsInMinnesota.com on 2018 Minnesota Gubernatorial race , Jan 26, 2017

It's a good week for Blu-ray Disc titles with a mix of older films getting high-def transfers, TV show season releases, and new films that can really show off your hi-def system.
Start with the classic 1975 film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest getting released as a "Collector's" edition on Blu-ray Disc. This is Jack Nicholson at his best (when isn't he?) but take a look and you'll find a slew of well known actors in stellar performances including Danny DeVito, Christopher Lloyd, Vincent Schiavelli, and a sneak appearance by Anjelica Huston (uncredited).
It's only taken forever for this movie to be released in high-def. But, it's been well worth the wait. Seven (1995), is a carefully crafted film by writer Andrew Kevin Walker and director David Fincher. The movie stars Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman as police detectives on the search for a serial killer with biblical intentions. Gwyneth Paltrow also stars in the film as Pitt's wife Tracy Mills. It's a movie that is sure to make your skin crawl as well as appreciate the stylistic production that set a standard for many horror/crime films to follow. The Blu-ray Disc also comes with a bunch of extras including deleted and extended scenes, commentaries, alternate endings and more.
Jacob's Ladder is another 90's film in the creepy/thriller genre called "Viscerally scary" by The New York Times. Tim Robbins stars in this film as traumatized Vietnam war vet in New York who suffers from flashbacks while hanging on the edge of sanity. The film also stars some well-known actors including Danny Aiello, Matt Craven, Jason Alexander, and Ving "Luther" Rhames. No extras to speak of but a cheaper Blu-ray release than most listing at just $19.99.
The Lord of the Rings trilogy gets single Blu-ray title releases this week but do we care since they aren't the extended versions? Nope. Still waiting New Line.
Here is a link to all new Blu-ray Discs released on Sept. 14, 2010.


Adding a Service Learning component, or Community Project, as part of a school group adventure can range from renovating a school or constructing a water pipeline for a village to assisting in wildlife conservation.
It is often this experience of 'giving back' that is the source of many students' long lasting memories and life changing moments.
But how can you be sure that this element of your school adventure is right? This post aims to outline the challenges involved with Service Learning work and what to look for when deciding which organisation will help both your students and the host community when researching your school's next overseas Service Learning trip.
Why do a Service Learning trip?
The concept of combining travel with service isn't new. In fact the blending of leisure and service has taken many forms throughout the decades, from experts in their fields, like medical and engineering specialists, offering their services in developing nations; to young adults assisting on conservation projects around the world during their GAP year; to school students benefitting from international exchanged programs. Today, this travel concept is commonly referred to as 'Voluntourism" and it's gaining momentum at a considerable rate.
It's no surprise that secondary school group travel has failed to escape the lure of Voluntourism, with a growing number of schools, both government and non-government, appreciating the value of incorporating a Service Learning aspect into their school group adventures program.
Secondary students, in their formative years, have a lot to gain from a school group adventure, and equally from an adventure that includes volunteer time on a local Service Learning. Students return home with a greater tolerance for the differences in cultures; empathy for underprivileged people and a greater appreciation for their life back home; a better understanding of world geography and history; greater independence and an ability to operate outside of their comfort zone; a greater understanding of their physical abilities; knowledge about how the individual impacts on the environment as well as a deeper connection to nature.
Along with all of these benefits, students come away with an intimate knowledge of the host culture having worked, played, eaten and celebrated with their host community over the time of the project. For real cultural immersion, Service Learnings cannot be overlooked. And for as little as US$1500 some of these projects can be achieved.
Types of Service Learning trips a school can incorporate into their school adventure.
Construction / maintenance: these projects can involve renovations to existing buildings such as classrooms and medical centers, building access to clean water or solar systems, or smaller building projects like building school desks or goal posts on a soccer field. These projects require the students to be physically fit and willing, since the work involved requires the students to exert themselves lifting and carrying. Additionally, many of the world's most underprivileged communities are quite remote and difficult to access and so a 2-3 day trek to the village may be necessary.
Sharing knowledge: these projects usually involve the students spending time at a school or orphanage exchanging language, games and cultural information.
Conservation: these projects involve students working in wildlife sanctuaries and shelters, assisting with the animals' daily needs, as well as working on scientific research projects collecting data on flora and fauna.
How do you decide which type of project best suits your students?
Choose to work with an experienced travel company that shows similar interests to that of your school, such as animal conservation, or humanitarian needs.
How much of your itinerary do you want dedicated to Service Learning work? Some companies offer an even split, others make it a very small proportion of the itinerary, while other companies tailor-make itineraries to your specifications.
Be realistic about your students' physical and mental abilities in relation to the project and make sure that they match the components of the Service Learning.
Enquire about the type and amount of support you will receive once you have booked the adventure and project. Will you receive pre-departure information and assistance to arrange all associated travel? Information about what shots and vaccinations might be needed? What about support during the trip and even afterward?
Enquire whether the travel companies you are considering have International Public Liability Insurance. In the infrequent case of something going wrong, your school and parents will be comforted knowing that the travel company is covered by insurance. It should be noted that many travel companies do not have International Public Liability Insurance.
Collect background information on the travel companies that you are considering. Check that they are a licenced travel agent and that they belong to professional tourism bodies. Ask whether they have had experience in coordinating and operating Service Learnings within your preferred destination. Ask about their successes, as well as some testimonials from students and teachers that have travelled with them in the past.
Not all Service Learning trips are actually helping.
Successes, you ask? Unfortunately, not all Service Learning trips can be referred to as successful – or helpful. All the best intentions can result in dissatisfied students and host communities.
Sustainable and on-going. It's important that sustainable projects are implemented, projects that not only provide immediate relief, but also seek to eliminate the cause, so that the host community can begin building a robust and self-sufficient society. For example, it is pointless and unsustainable to provide a community medical centre that the host community cannot afford to staff. The local partners of the travel company you choose to work with must have comprehensive discussions with the leaders of the community to identify the most needed project, that it's long-term benefit is assured and to ensure that your school group won't be leaving a problem behind them.
This is where Service Learning work can go awfully wrong, when well-meaning but ignorant travel organisers decide on a project with little consultation with the host community.
Focus on the host community. This is where Service Learning work can go awfully wrong, when well-meaning but ignorant travel organisers decide on a project with little consultation with the host community. It's condescending to tell the local people what to do. Rather school group Service Learning trips are there to supplement the efforts of the host community. The host community may be impoverished but that doesn't mean that they do not have very smart ideas about how to assist their community. Constant and open consultation from beginning to end is essential. In relation to the project, priority is placed on the needs of the community, not those of the school group, in an effort to provide real benefit to the community.
Shared experience. Service Learning work is at it's richest when it is a shared experienced. The host community will tend to feel alienated and invaded if a group of students turn up one day and begin work painting their school for two days and then disappear. Service Learnings are a place for everyone to share their talents. Collaboration between students and their hosts will lead to wonderful cultural exchange and long-lasting friendships.
Keep it local. Often a project will require the expertise of a specialist, like an electrician, builder, translator etc. In this case, local specialists should be employed to assist with the project, ensuring that the project is contributing also to the local economy.
Respect and observe the customs and traditions of the local culture. Dress appropriately and be polite to members of the host community.
All waste products are minimised (such as plastic water bottles) and unavoidable waste is disposed of in a responsible manner.
Local staff are paid the award wage (or above) and treated respectfully by their employer.
Carbon offset the accommodation and transport components of the itinerary ensuring that the unavoidable carbon produced by your travel is offset in a way that will help slow down global warming.
Prior to leaving home students are educated about the endemic flora and fauna to ensure that they follow appropriate guidelines when they are near animals and plants.
A Service Learning component of a school group adventure can be a wonderfully enriching experience and mutually beneficial exchange. It's important for your school to do the necessary 'homework' to ensure that the travel outfit you use is well experienced in coordinating successful projects in the country your school is planning to travel in.

Alas Kedaton Bali is a protected forest area with an area of approximately 12 hectares. In addition to the many trees, you will see many monkeys around the forest area. In this forest, there is also a temple called Alas Kedaton temple.
The main attraction of this attraction lies in apes that inhabit forest areas, numbering about 2,000 tails. Therefore when you enter the gate, you will be welcomed by these monkeys.
The monkeys here are very tame and familiar with human existence. They will not attack you, as long as you don't act rude to them. Although these monkeys are benign, but still wild animals, it is advisable to remain cautious especially with luggage to put in bags and hidden. Such as wallets, handphone, glasses, earrings, and other small items.
It is possible that these monkeys will be attracted to your belongings, so be careful! So that you can enjoy a vacation, instead of thinking about lost items.
If you like, bring a little food you can feed the monkeys, like bananas or nuts. If you have provided food, then you have the opportunity to take pictures with them.
Alas Kedaton Monkey Forest is located in the village of Kukuh, Marga district, Tabanan Regency. If departs from the Kuta beach area, it will take around 1 hour 10 minutes.


The water pump is driven by a belt, chain or gear and only operates while the engine is running. It has a limited life span and sooner or later will have to be replaced. You can check your owner's manual to find out how long your water pump should last. Some can fail at only 40,000 miles, or 65,000 kilometers, but almost all of them fail by 100,000 miles, or 160,000 kilometers.
If you hear a low-pitched grinding sound coming from the water pump, it's time for a new one. If you see coolant leaking in the area near the pump, it needs to be replaced. Also, coolant on the driveway could indicate water pump failure. Many water pumps aren't visible because they're under a plastic cover, so you may have to take your vehicle to Dively's Garage to know if the water pump has failed.
If your water pump is run by the timing belt, then it should be replaced when you replace the belt. Most timing belts need to be replaced at around 60,000 to 90,000 miles, or 100,000 to 145,000 kilometers. The labor for replacing a timing belt is about 90% the same for replacing a water pump, so it's cost-effective to take care of them both at the same time.
Also, if your water pump develops a leak (if it's powered by the timing belt), you have to replace the timing belt as well since contamination by coolant fluid damages the belt. It just makes sense for Alexandria residents to replace both of these parts whenever either one needs it.
Replacing a water pump at Dively's Garage is a car care issue that almost all of us Alexandria residents face eventually. They don't last forever. On the other hand, we can extend the life of most of the components of our vehicle through preventive maintenance. Just as exercise and diet keep our heart healthy, regular check-ups and fluid changes will keep our vehicles healthy. Talk to your friendly and knowledgeable Dively's Garage service advisor.

By living on this earth, it is an inescapable truth that we all age. We naturally lose the tissue that keeps us looking youthful and perky, in addition to losing skin elasticity throughout the face.
Together, these manifestations cause the facial tissue and skin to droop or sag, making you look older than you feel, or would like to appear for that matter. Some individuals are born with a longer upper lip, while for others the aging upper lip becomes thin and starts to sag in a manner that does not show one's teeth when he or she smiles. A lip lift procedure can be used to help create a more distinct and attractive upper lip by subtly raising the position of the upper lip, giving a broader looking smile. The overall effect of the lip lift is a more aesthetically pleasing, more youthful and more voluminous lips. Considered by her patients to be one of the top providers of lip lifts Los Angeles & Beverly Hills have to offer, Dr. Kimberly Lee is dedicated to providing her patients with the lips that they deserve.
The lip lift can provide one with a more attractive upper lip, that grants a more attractive smile, in addition to a more balanced face. As a specialist in facial plastic surgery, Dr. Lee has perfected the lip lift technique to ensure that your lips heal beautifully with unnoticeable scarring.
Plenty of men and women feel that they may have a little too much space between the base of the nose and the top of the upper lip, which can make one feel self confident in the way they look or smile. Dr. Lee performs lip lifts in the hopes of returning a sense of beauty and confidence to her patients. Whether it's due to sagging lips from aging, or even the simple desire to bring about a line of symmetry to one's face and lips, a lip lift can help to rejuvenate your overall appearance. Trust Dr. Kimberly Lee to provide you with one of the best Lip Lifts Beverly Hills & Los Angeles have to offer.
The lip lift procedure can be done in the office, with the patient under local anesthesia. For a lip lift, Dr. Lee makes an incision along the curves at the base of the nose. This is followed by carefully removing small area of skin. In doing so, this shortens the length of the upper lip by lifting the position of the lip upward, while increasing the extent of pink that is visible in the upper lip. The lip is then lifted to its new position and closed with great care and caution to avoid scarring.
Dr. Lee has the precision and experience to deliver some of the best lip lift Beverly Hills has to offer. That being said, perhaps you're not entirely ready for surgery, or you merely desire the look of a fuller lip, fillers can also be injected on its own, or in combination with a lip lift. You can discuss you exact needs and desires regarding facial enhancement and rejuvenation during your initial consultation with Dr. Lee.
If you would like to further discuss the possibility of having a lip lift in Beverly Hills, you can contact us online. Or if you like, you may contact our office directly, and one of our staff members will be able to assist you in scheduling a consultation.


During the heady summer seasons we are bombarded with superheroes and dystopian societies were bow-toting women save the day. That's all well and good, but in this 3D spectacle and bright colors we are sometimes left with a starved appetite for more varied and artistic films. Bergman, Godard, and Trakovsky are an excellent starting point for those venturing deeper into what the Seventh Art has to offer.
Perhaps the first step one takes is French cinema, which normally is bold and unapologetic in its beauty, but there is more out there in the vast expanse of this artistic discipline. Russian cinema is rich in its storytelling, and with each film you'll see how different mysteries and interpretations are interwoven; it is up to you to disentangle them as you see fit.
The following films will throw you into a storm of enigma whose climax will unleash an intellectual and emotional excitement. Viktor Shklovsky, one of the first serious film critics, expanded on the concept of defamiliarization. He believed the true purpose of art was to incite a sensation of things as they are perceived and not as they are known. "The technique of art is to make objects 'unfamiliar,' to make forms difficult to increase the difficulty and length of perception because the process of perception is an aesthetic end in itself and must be prolonged." This means that there is a sense of enjoyment that comes when trying to piece together or interpret a work of art. It does not matter if you find or not a meaning behind these films because the purpose was for you to perceive it and absorb this strangeness.
This Norwegian film tells the story of Alma, a girl who is constantly surrounded by her friends, and beyond that she is constantly overwhelmed by sexual thoughts. Her thoughts range from sweet, romantic fairytales to sexual fantasies on anyone who crosses her path. After an encounter with Artur, she shares this stimulating and yet awkward story with her friends and is ostracized.
Filmmaker Dalibor presents the social difficulties the inhabitants of Croatia and Serbia face while they gain independece from Yugoslavia. In this hostile environment where revolution and violence reign supreme, three forbidden love stories unfold. Each anecdote shows the different faces of war, and amidst this destruction the protagonists seek to satiate their passions. Set in two neighboring Balkan villages with a history of inter-ethnic hatred, this film exposes the fragility and utter intensity of forbidden love.
Haneke's film have the uncanny ability of mirroring the viewer's darkest thoughts. The barrier that separates the public from the film is completely eroded so you are gripped by doubt and discomfort. Caché is a psychological thriller that follows the life of a couple who are being harassed by anonymous tapes that appear on their front porch. These tapes relate to the husband's childhood trauma.
Intrigue and mystery are intertwined in Happiness. A hapless farmer undergoes misadventures on his road to collective happiness. Their road to joy is continuously thwarted by surreal events, from neighbors stealing their granary to a horse unwilling to work. The protagonist, while in the pits of depression, attempts to commit suicide, but is stopped by Tsarist officers who tell him, "if the peasant dies, who will feed Russia?" Medvedkin employs old Russian folktales that would prove to be a perfect foil for the newly established socialist society. Given the criticism levied against the government, this filmed was soon banned by the Soviet authorities.
Von Trier presents three idiots who decide to behave in public as if they were disabled in order to find their "inner idiot." Upon witnessing the havoc they create in a restaurant, a woman decides to join in on the fun. At the beginning, she will be the sole voice of reason, but little by little she is also dragged into this whirlwind of fun and idiocy. It is a titillating and thought-provoking film worthy of "the most original and questing film-maker working in Europe today," as The Guardian once described Von Trier.
It would appear that the best films are always those that journey into the mind of the characters. From Bergman you must learn that special effects are not necessary and you don't need a great budget to create a thought-provoking masterpiece. Persona revolves around a young nurse called Alma and her patient, a well known actress named Elisabet, who loses her voice after a performance of Elektra. As Alma begins to care for this actress, she begins to learn about the intimate secrets of Elisabet, and soon she loses sense of herself.
The story centers around an Iranian middle-class couple who separates. The wife moves back with her parents, and their daughter decides to stay with Nader (the father) and her ailing grandfather. Stressed by his father's Alzheimer and deteriorating condition, Nader decides to hire a caretaker, and this unleashes a series of tragic events. The screenplay is spellbinding and drags the audience into a perpetual state of tension.
The film tells the story of orphan boy Ivan and his experiences during World War II. It explores the true human costs of war. Some high ranking soldiers wish to spare him the brutality of war, but the child follows his own path, led by personal tragedy.
A perverse story of a couple and their adult son and two daughters that live in a fenced compound. The children have no understanding of the outside world and will only be able to leave once they lose a dogtooth. An ingenious and bloody satire where the parents reward good behavior with stickers and bad with violence.
"I hope your kids have bad influences and develop bad personalities. I wish this with all my heart."
Set in 1960, Ida is a young novice in Poland who is on the verge of taking her vows when she discovers a dark family secret dating back to the years of the German occupation. An exemplary story about the pursuit of identity and family roots. Filmed in black and white, the audience is enveloped in a cold and melancholy atmosphere.
These foreign films are painstakingly crafted, the narrative and characters are beautifully interwoven in the landscape. While there are many other films that were not included on this list, may these films serve as stepping stones into richer, far more nuanced tales that will inspire and awaken your deepest desires and fantasies.

I've dealt with old versions of nokogiri before and troubleshooting that can take forever, so I want to just go back to where I was. Problem is "git log" only tells me about the git history of the repository I forked, not the work I did over the past few days.
I'm sure it's here somewhere, since git never forgets anything but I don't know how to find it. Help!

A: Go to the original repo and get the SHA of it's master branch (assuming this is where you forked).
Let's say that this sha is ABCDE.
Before we make changes, make sure you have a clean working directory and index, so commit if needed and then run git status to make sure everything is clean.
Now, let's re-work your repo so it's clear when you forked:
git branch myFork
git checkout master
git reset --hard ABCDE
git checkout myFork

Now, you can compare your myFork branch to master to see the differences. For example you could do:
git diff master..myFork

As you work, it's a very good idea to commit frequently, whenever you reach a somewhat stable point. This way you can keep track of little milestones and revert if you get stuck.
Don't worry about committing too much...you can always squash commits together before pushing them to a public repository.

On Dec. 11, the FDA granted an Emergency Use Authorization for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, with similar authorization for the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine coming a week later. Frontline health care workers across the United States, including at the hospitals of the University of Pennsylvania Health System, have received their first doses. Similar scenes are playing out in countries around the world. (Image: Dan Burke)
SARS-CoV-2 emerged with a bang, appearing out of nowhere and spreading with lightning speed. It affects the body in ways similar to other respiratory illnesses, yet also differently. It forced countries to take drastic actions—mask-wearing, social distancing, shutting down economies—never before seen or most recently experienced a century ago. Just a year after the world first heard about a novel coronavirus in Wuhan Province, China, vaccines that very effectively combat COVID-19 already exist.
Yet with vaccine approval, even the limited kind dictated by Emergency Use Authorizations (EUA) like those in December in the United States issued for the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines, the question of distribution remains. The answer is not straightforward, with a seemingly unending set of decisions necessary before the shots actually reach individuals.
At the broadest level, how do international dose allocations look? From there, how does each country circulate its stock? In the U.S., that means to 64 jurisdictions, most of them states. Jurisdictions then distribute to health systems or nursing homes or whichever facilities top their list, and those places independently decide who moves to the front. And on and on down the line. Without digging too deep, it's easy to see the monumental task at hand for those deciding how to spread out what is, at present, a scant resource.
Bioethicist Harald Schmidt of Penn Medicine and colleagues analyzed the vaccine distribution proposals of the 64 U.S. jurisdictions with an eye toward equity. They found that 18 states plan to use a disadvantage index in some capacity, represented in darker blue on the map. Tiberius, designated with hatch marks, is software the CDC helped develop to assist states with vaccine allocation. (Image: Courtesy of Harald Schmidt)
As of this writing, COVAX, an initiative jointly run by the World Health Organization (WHO) and several other global organizations, recommended proportional allocation to start, meaning each of 190 participating countries—which does not currently include the U.S.—would get vaccine doses for 3% of its population, prioritizing essential health workers. In the U.S. in early December, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published a framework to guide states, recommending allocations for the initial phases.
Both sets of guidance barely skim the surface with regard to equity, a fact that troubles Penn experts like bioethicist Harald Schmidt and behavioral scientist Alison Buttenheim.
"We know that this disease has disproportionately burdened some groups," says Buttenheim of Penn Nursing. From March 2020 through the end of the year, Black and Hispanic/Latino individuals were hospitalized at three to three-and-a-half times the rate of non-Hispanic whites, according to CDC data. Black individuals were more than twice as likely to die from COVID-19 as non-Hispanic whites. "We also know that these groups are the least likely to report being excited about getting a vaccine," she adds. "Initially, we're going to have scarce supply, and there's a worry that this will all contribute to worsening disparities and inequities."
It doesn't have to be that way, says Schmidt of Penn Medicine. "None of this is a foregone conclusion."
Vaccine numbers
In mid-November 2020, drug maker Moderna announced that its vaccine to combat COVID-19 was 94.5% effective. That came just days after Pfizer and partner BioNTech made similar efficacy claims about theirs. Both use messenger RNA to order the body to initiate a defense against COVID-19, a technique developed by Penn's Drew Weissman and Katalin Kariko, who has since moved to BioNTech.
Acronyms can complicate an already complex system of vaccine distribution
ACIP: The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, a 15-member committee of medical and public health experts offering guidance to the CDC on COVID-19 vaccines.
CDC: The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a federal agency of the Department of Health and Human Services. The agency works to "protect America from health, safety, and security threats, both foreign and in the U.S."
COVAX: A group coordinated by the WHO, Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations that supports the creation and global distribution of COVID-19 vaccines. The U.S. is not one of the 189 countries currently participating.
EUA:Emergency Use Authorization, like the one the FDA issued for the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. Under specific circumstances, these provide for defined use of a vaccination without requiring full FDA approval.
FDA: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, a federal agency of the Department of Health and Human Services. The agency focuses on the "safety, efficacy, and security of human and veterinary drugs, biological products, and medical devices."
SAGE: The Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization, a committee advising the WHO on the use and distribution of vaccines.
WHO: The World Health Organization. It facilitates international health within the United Nations framework.
That two vaccines are already being distributed in the United States, with 20 worldwide in large-scale Phase 3 clinical trials, is incredible to Paul Offit. He directs the Vaccine Education Center at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and is a Penn Medicine professor of vaccinology.
"In less than a year we've made a vaccine," he says. "It's a technological breakthrough. A tour de force. It's amazing, especially given the level of disdain for science in [the Trump] Administration."
If all goes accordingly, the companies making the three frontrunner vaccines—Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, and AstraZeneca, in partnership with Oxford University—expect to produce a combined 5.3 billion doses in 2021. The Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines each require two shots. Should the AstraZeneca vaccine require just one, that means potential immunization for some 3.1 billion people this year, about 40% of the world's population. As of Jan. 5, in less than a month of vaccine distribution in the U.S., nearly 5 million people had received an initial dose, just shy of 2% of the population.
Global allocation
These numbers may sound large, but despite millions of shots already given, beyond the initial roll-out phase it's still unclear who specifically falls into which bucket, says Matthew McCoy, an assistant professor in Penn Medicine's Department of Medical Ethics and Health Policy.
When COVID vaccines were more theoretical than not, the WHO arm tasked with guiding the organization—called SAGE or the Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization—highlighted several ethical principles to govern allocation. "They said that any distribution of vaccines should advance human well-being and honor global equity, national equity, reciprocity, and legitimacy," says McCoy, whose work focuses on bioethics and public policy. "But COVAX decided to take a much more straightforward approach." That is, proportional allocation based on population size.
On Wednesday, Dec. 16, Penn health care workers began receiving doses of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine. Pennsylvania Hospital pharmacist Shadaria Shuler (left) prepares a shot. Joanne Ruggiero, clinical director for Women's Health and Behavioral Health at Pennsylvania Hospital, administers a vaccination to Emergency Department nurse Eric Young (right). (Image: Dan Burke)
"That means that in the first push, countries will get vaccine doses for 3% of their population with priority for health care workers. The next goal is vaccine for up to 20% of the population with priority for people who are at higher risk for death or serious illness from the virus," he says. "After that, COVAX plans to start accounting for each country's risk profile, trying to prioritize those countries the hardest hit by the virus, either in terms of health or economic impact." (It's unclear whether vaccine distribution via COVAX has already begun.)
Though Penn philosopher Kok-Chor Tan believes this approach trumps vaccine nationalism, whereby countries hoard doses to protect their own populations, "literal equality isn't properly sensitive to variations on the ground," he says. "It's not attuned to the way the pandemic is actually impacting different countries."
To address that, Tan, McCoy, and others, including Penn Vice Provost for Global Initiatives Ezekiel Emanuel, proposed in September 2020 what they called the Fair Priority Model, shared in the journal Science. McCoy, Emanuel, and others further argued for it in a January 2021 paper in the journal BMJ.
The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine emergency use authorization: Five takeaways
Researchers begin forming guidance on properly managing COVID-19 patient airways
Uniting against an invisible foe
Five things to know about the promising COVID-19 vaccine news
An ecosystem of innovation fosters tech-based solutions to COVID-19 challenges
The Fair Priority Model is a three-phase plan for worldwide distribution of what was, at the time, a COVID vaccine in the abstract. "Our proposal said that in the first phase, you allocate according to a country's needs," says Tan, who studies human rights and global justice. "Distribute with the aim of minimizing premature death due to COVID-19. It's not equal allocation but rather equitable allocation." The second phase addresses those same issues, plus tries to reduce what the researchers called "serious economic and social deprivations" like school and nonessential business closures. The third and final phase moves to reduce community transmission.
Tan says he finds the Fair Priority Model ethically superior to the WHO's proposal. But, in an imperfect world, the two models can work together, he adds. In a forthcoming American Journal of Public Health paper, Emanuel and Tan (with three other co-authors) explain that the Fair Priority Model can supplement the WHO's scheme by specifying when exceptions to equal allocation are ethically required.
Now that vaccine distribution has begun in many places, the ethics question becomes even more urgent, Tan says. "It's real. It's no longer something in the future."
It's not a one-and-done situation, McCoy adds. "The vaccine is going to arrive in batches and these questions will continue to arise. We need to continue to think about ways to optimize allocation," a scenario made more challenging because COVAX has little authority over how countries divvy up doses within their borders.
U.S. distribution
For the United States, the branches on that decision tree span all 50 states, plus a handful of large cities, affiliated islands, and territories. Yet despite their independence, these places aren't making decisions in a vacuum.
A complicated calculus went into global and national vaccine allocation, with many decisions happening before supplies—like the face shields, syringes, and reminder cards seen here—arrived at facilities. (Image: Dan Burke)
Much like SAGE's guidance to the WHO, a panel of experts convened by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine provided advice at the request of the CDC and the National Institutes of Health. Buttenheim, scientific director of Penn's Center for Health Incentives and Behavioral Economics, was on that committee.
After two months of weekly video meetings, listening to and reading expert testimony, and public hearings, the group published the "Framework for Equitable Allocation of COVID-19 Vaccine" in September 2020. Buttenheim led the chapter about vaccine demand.
"The framework strives to allocate what we know will be scarce supply in a way that is fair and equitable and mitigates disease. Having to say who should be in line first and why is hard," she says. "We wanted to make sure the framework at the very least did not exacerbate, and ideally would address, disparities and inequities in health care."
In the first phase, you allocate according to a country's needs. Distribute with the aim of minimizing premature death due to COVID-19. It's not equal allocation but rather equitable allocation. Kok-Chor Tan, professor of philosophy in the School of Arts & Sciences
To address this, the committee suggested a four-phased approach that, in part, prioritized such populations by focusing on groups in which they are disproportionately represented, Buttenheim explains. For example, front-line health workers at high risk—included in the committee's first phase—likely captures nurses and respiratory therapists and custodial staff, groups that traditionally skew female and include a higher proportion of racial minorities.
Beyond that, the committee recommended the federal government set aside 10% of its total allocation to redistribute to jurisdictions with greater vulnerability, identified through use of a vulnerability index tool. "We made an argument that if a state or city has a higher proportion of people affected by the disease," she says, "they should get a larger vaccine allocation based on that and distribute it onward with that same focus."
Of course, the National Academies framework isn't law; it's guidance for ACIP, the CDC's advisory committee, which then offers recommendations to states. According to Schmidt, the latest word from ACIP did not incorporate a disadvantage index.
"That raises this question, what happens to social equity?" he says. "It's there but not with the same high salience as in the Academies' report. If we want to take social justice seriously, it's not smart to allocate according to population. Politically, that might be the easiest thing to do but if we're just doing things that are easy, we'll again disadvantage racial and ethnic minorities. We're all set up again to say these groups are just not as important."
Jurisdiction plans
The final verdict hasn't yet been read, however. Jurisdictions create and carry out their own distribution plans, initial drafts for which they submitted to the CDC in November 2020. They filed close-to-final versions by Dec. 4.
Excluded groups
Children and pregnant women have mostly been left out of COVID vaccine trials to date
Despite extensive clinical trials conducted on the frontrunner COVID-19 vaccines—Moderna's had 30,000 participants, Pfizer-BioNTech had almost 44,000—they did not initially include children younger than 18 or pregnant women (save for those who became pregnant partway through the trial).
Both companies have since started testing children as young as 12, and AstraZeneca has said its trial in the U.K. will go as young as age 5. But even so, that group isn't likely to get a vaccine soon, says Steven Joffe, a pediatric oncologist and bioethicist with the Perelman School of Medicine.
"Acknowledging that there will be some children with chronic illnesses, most kids don't need to be at the front of the line," he says. "Before they get the vaccines, it's going to be really important to get pediatric data."
Those should hopefully become available in the next six to eight months, says Paul Offit of Penn Medicine and the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. "Children were obviously not a priority group," he adds, "but I do think they need to be vaccinated."
Although COVID vaccine trials also excluded pregnant women, as is typically the case, about two dozen or so inadvertently ended up participating, Offit says. They will be followed closely to ensure no harmful effects on the pregnancy or child.
The Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) the FDA issued for the Pfizer vaccine, the first in the U.S., permits vaccination for anyone 16 and older—including pregnant and breastfeeding women. The EUA for the Moderna vaccine, which came a week later, permits use for anyone 18 and older.
Schmidt, Buttenheim, and a group of Penn students, with colleagues from Harvard, Georgetown, and CHOP analyzed the proposals with an eye toward equity. They found that at the time, 18 states planned to use a disadvantage index in some capacity. "That's pretty encouraging," Schmidt says. "ACIP has not recommended this but regardless, states are looking into it. California developed its own index. Tennessee goes on the record saying, 'We'll reserve 10% of our vaccine allocation.'"
Buttenheim is equally heartened. "The strong default here would be proportional allocation," she says. "It's impressive that any states are even signaling use of a vulnerability index."
Important to note is a CDC rule regarding COVID vaccines: No jurisdiction will receive more until it uses up its first batch. To secure additional doses quicker, states may be incentivized to offer vaccines to people they know will take them—groups that don't necessarily overlap with the disadvantaged populations that, from an ethical standpoint, Schmidt and others believe deserve priority.
Here, the researchers stress the need for transparency and open communication.
"You don't just show up with a new vaccine and have immediate buy-in," Buttenheim says. "A lot of groups have been really mistreated in medical research. We need to unpack the distrust people feel. It can take many forms." Maybe it's suspicion around the medical industrial complex or the research that led to the vaccines. Maybe it's disinterest in doing something that feels experimental. "We need to figure out if it helps when people can get vaccinated at familiar locations they know and trust, rather than just at a centralized clinic or large health system," she adds.
An ever-changing situation
As the situation evolves, those entities offering vaccines must progress with it to ensure the world eventually reaches herd immunity, when enough people are immune such that COVID-19 can no longer spread unchecked. It's the only way to truly stop the virus from circling the globe again and again, Offit says.

Once they're needed, each vial requires 30 minutes at room temperature, plus a careful process that includes inversion and dilution with a saline solution, before being drawn up into a syringe. (Image: Dan Burke)
"There's never been an example in the history of humankind of a pathogen eliminating itself by inducing immunity in a population. That has never happened, and it never will," he says. "The only way to do this is with a vaccine. Vaccines induce herd immunity. Natural infection never does."
Some places like the United Kingdom and Canada have already begun distributing a COVID vaccine. And in the U.S., with the EUA for the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, Americans have started getting it, too.
Even as the world moves into this new pandemic phase, so many questions remain. Do these vaccines prevent those who receive them from infecting others? How long does immunity last? Will the vaccines protect against virus mutations like those already emerging? On the distribution side, how do countries ensure that their most vulnerable—people who, in many instances, have historically been overlooked or mistreated—get the vaccination? How do countries prevent exacerbating persistent inequities? There's plenty more work to do.
"The first quarter or half of 2021 is a pretty narrow window," Buttenheim says. "We're going to have to get it right. We don't want to blow this amazing opportunity."

Organizing your files saves space, time, and money. It increases productivity, reduces staff stress and frustration, allows for better employee communications, faster and easier access to important files, and makes document version control possible.
Organizing documents is archSCAN's specialty. We provide on-site service across the Mid-Atlantic region, including Baltimore, Washington, DC, Northern Virginia, Annapolis, and Philadelphia, as well as any other location in DC, MD, VA, and DE. To organize your paperwork, we go on-site to client facilities to research, inventory, and catalog your paper documents, and, as needed, your electronic documents. Most organizations have a combination of paper and electronic documents, so we compare your digital files and folders with your paper files and identify duplications.
Organizing documents according to the above methodology allows our clients to know exactly what information they have in their hanging files, file cabinets, hard drives, and shared storage locations such as Google drive or any other storage location containing critical files and documents. This helps determine what documents should be scanned and which should be discarded, and which ones should be retained in paper format. Once the organizing process has been completed, future document retention policies are much easier to implement.
We complete this organization process either on-site at your facility or off-site at our production center. No more loss of productivity performing tasks that are not in your job description. No more looking for lost files.
When duplicate documents exist in separate locations, including on paper and in a computer or within a duplicate folder hierarchy on a file system, we also perform the crucial step of version control, making sure to identify the latest issues of your documents. Additionally, some documents may be duplicated in a shared drive with different file names, which can occur when staff move files on a USB flash drive. We also see local files duplicated but in different file formats, so we unify your information by converting documents into the file format needed most often by each client. For example, when scanned files are in TIFF format we convert them to PDF, or from DWG format to PDF, and other file format conversion that each individual client may need for electronic filing.
If your organization plans on implementing a state-of-the art electronic document management software suite, the preparation tasks are normally very time-consuming and tedious. Files and folders must be properly indexed, information about each and every document (metadata) must be captured, optical character recognition (OCR) performed, and unnecessary or "junk" files need to be removed. A proper folder hierarchy and file naming convention is established if required, as well as a filing structure that lets staff who are responsible for managing files have an easier time with such tasks.
archSCAN performs all of these processes and more using an efficient, streamlined methodology that makes for a smooth transition to a digital system. With our processes, any document management system that gets deployed is functional from day one – letting staff immediately reap the benefits to workflow, collaboration, and overall time efficiency.
Are you frustrated because you can't find what you need, when you need it?
Are important documents hidden in plain sight due to poor filing habits?
Are paper documents and file cabinets taking up needed office space?


Deep Tissue Massage is a form of bodywork that aims to relieve tension in the deeper layers of tissue in the body. Deep Tissue Massage is a highly effective method for releasing chronic stress areas due to misalignment, repetitive motions, and past lingering injuries. Due to the nature of the deep tissue work, open communication during the session is crucial to make sure you don't get too uncomfortable. Keep in mind that soreness is pretty common after the treatment, and that plenty of water should be ingested to aid with the flushing and removal of metabolic waste that will have been released from the deep tissue during the session.
Any modality can and may be combined to customize the massage to your individual need. I will listen to your intention during intake and we can work together towards your wellness goals.


For this station, small pebbles should be sprayed beforehand with gold spray-paint. You should spray approx 10-20 pebbles per group which are then hidden/thrown in stream bed. The group must now try to locate the gold pebbles within a specific amount of time in their "pan". One point is awarded for each pebble found. Dependent upon the level of difficulty required, they pebbles can also be buried into the creek. You should be aware of any nature protection laws when playing this game. A running stream, or an area which is under nature protection laws should not be chosen for this game, so that you do not disturb the river embankment and plant world (in and out of the water).
If this is not possible in your area, a sandpit can be used to hide the gold. The pebbles can surely be found with a sieve and water. If the pebbles have been dirtied by sand or earth, you can only find out if the pebbles are really gold pieces by using water to clean them.
Who will find the most stones in the given time? There is one point per stone or the stones are weighed.


Stunning multi tone gold drop earrings with a turquoise setting draw attention with every turn of your head and add a feminine touch to any outfit. The turquoise setting stones will look amazing and gorgeous on your ears. The multi tone gold will make you look fair and lovely.

Women Onside
Event: Race, privilege and football
As the #BlackLivesMatter movement challenges us to acknowledge and address issues of race, join Shireen Ahmed, Bruce Djite and Jade North for a unique discussion of how football reflects – and can challenge – the privilege that attaches to race; and what you can do about it. Moderated by Assmaah Helal.
Observing the BLM movement in the Australian context, we are reminded that racism is everyone's issue, and this is an opportunity for meaningful change. This webinar brings together three footballers of diverse backgrounds, and will seek to understand and learn through hearing their experiences and perspectives. Moderated by Football United's Assmaah Helal, this event will provide an honest discussion of the systems and issues that underlie racism, and offer the opportunity to reflect on what we as individuals can do to help our sport overcome racism, and lead society in doing so.

"Big Stone Gap" Film Review
Adam Sirdoreus • October 9, 2015 •	0
"Big Stone Gap" is a film based on the best selling book series by the same name. Writer/director Adriana Trigiani tells the story of a little coal mining town in Virginia, set in the late 70's. The movie stars Ashley Judd and Patrick Wilson, as two life long friends, whose romantic relationship never had a chance to blossom. You'll follow Judd's character, "Ave Maria Mulligan", through her daily life, as the town's pharmacy owner, director of the annual outdoor drama and the glue that holds everyone together; except for herself, especially when a family secret is revealed, leaving Ave questioning the spinster lifestyle she's been leading.
Big Stone Gap is filled with quirky, almost over the top characters. Iva Lou Wade, played by Jenna Elfman, drives a bookmobile, preaches "Chinese face reading" and is Ave's best friend. Then you have Fleeta, played by Whoopi Goldberg, who works alongside Ave in the Pharmacy, and she is always willing to lend her 2 cents to the conversation. Rounding out the cast is Jack MacChesney (Patrick Wilson), a local coal miner and for Ave, "the one that got away". Jane Krakowski, as "Sweet Sue", Jacks on again, off again girlfriend.
Despite an all star cast, and the admirable efforts of Trigiani, the film still leaves something to be desired. Ave is a self proclaimed spinster; they make that abundantly clear in practically every scene, but I kept asking myself "WHY?". She is well known throughout the town, she is smart, resourceful, strong and yet refuses to take time to herself, even though her friends and family are practically slapping her in the face with clues for love (Jack MacChesney) and happiness. When a family secret is revealed, she drops everything in a moment of clarity, sells her possessions and gives away her home, so she can travel, escape and really experience life outside the tiny town of Big Stone Gap. When someone finally decides they want a romantic relationship with her, she surrenders. Just like that. Month long plans to travel overseas, GONE. Roof over her head, GONE. Vehicle, gone. Pharmacy that has been in her family for generations, that's gone too. What happened to that moment of clarity? What happened to that independent woman? When Ave finally decided to do something for herself, she once again sacrificed her happiness on someone else's suggestion.
In the grand scheme of things, this rom/com did make me laugh more that I would've thought. The characters; while colorful, all had relatable traits, good hearts and overall good intentions. The actors all did a great job, with a few exceptions regarding questionable southern accents. The backdrop was beautiful and the wardrobe was fantastic. My recommendation, is wait until the DVD comes out.
2 1/2 out of 5 stars- Media Maven Lauren
