Images: It's open season for hurricanes
The NOAA predicts four to six major hurricanes this year. What are the perils and how is FEMA getting ready?
By Bill Detwiler, Contributor on July 20, 2006
1 of 10 Bill Detwiler/ZDNET
The 2006 hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to November 30, is officially here. This year the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Climate Prediction Center predicts an 80 percent chance of an above-normal storm season--with eight to 10 hurricanes and four to six major storms. The 2005 season produced a record 15 hurricanes and seven major storms.
Most of the conditions that contribute to the formation of hurricanes are menacing: considerably warmer-than-normal sea surface temperatures, lower wind shear, reduced sea level pressure, and an active African easterly jet stream.
Hurricanes can only develop when sea temperatures are above 82 degrees Fahrenheit. This Aug. 28, 2006, image shows the temperatures of the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico that were above 82 degrees Fahrenheit (orange-red) when Hurricane Katrina struck. The path of Katrina and its storm severity levels are indicated in black. The other lines indicate the tracks of other 2006 hurricanes.
What are the major hazards of a hurricane? First is the storm surge. A storm, coupled with normal tides, can increase the water level by as much as 15 feet. Since most of the populated Atlantic and Gulf coastlines are 10 feet above sea level (not to mention New Orleans), major flooding can occur.
New Orleans was under water in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
High winds
Hurricanes are measured by their wind velocity, according to the Saffire-Simpson Hurricance Scale. A Category 1 Hurricane has winds of at least 75 mph, while a Category 5 Hurricane has winds of 156 mph and up.
Before it headed toward Louisiana, Katrina paid a wet, windy visit to Florida. One person trying to drive through the storm in Fort Lauderdale called it "easily the most harrowing yet exciting 10 minutes of my life."
Inland flooding
One of the most deadly effects of a hurricane is inland flooding. More than half the deaths from hurricanes were attributed to floods. The intense rains from Hurricane Floyd in 1999 resulted in 50 drownings. Pictured is the aftermath of Hurricane Allison, which hit the Houston area in 2001.
More than half of hurricanes that hit land produce at least one tornado. There's no way to predict which storms will spawn tornadoes or where they will touch down, but new Doppler radar systems can give some warning. One clue: If you see hail or lighting, you're probably safe.
FEMA prepares
After receiving storms of criticism over its response to Hurricane Katrina, FEMA is bracing itself to respond to new hurricane emergencies. A worker in the FEMA Logistics Center warehouse in Ft. Worth, Tex. takes inventory with a bar code scanner. This enables GPS tracking of all of the supplies.
Generators are ready for deployment from the FEMA Logistics Center warehouse in Ft. Worth, Tex. during disasters.

Preparing for the worst
How do you prepare for the hurricane season? One way is to build a safer home. A company called Dome Technology is touting its semispherical designs as the way to avoid the ravages of high-speed winds.
If you live near the Atlantic Coast or Gulf Coast, take heed. The National Hurricane Center has some important safety tips to follow before a major storm strikes.

Q. We have a partly finished basement in our mid-19th-century house. Now the mortar and brick are flaking and crumbling. This conditions exists both inside and out. Can we safety ignore the slow but continuous crumbling?
* Also, two basement rooms have large square finished stone floors with fine open cracks as joints. We would like to have a sealed floor, such as linoleum, which is easy to clean. Elsewhere, I have pulled up an old carpet and linoleum laid over such a floor and found it had moisture, dirt, and insects under it. How would you suggest we prepare this stone floor for a finish such as linoleum? We do not have enough headroom to build up the floor 4 to 6 inches. David Ness Honeoye Falls, N.Y.
A. If it were my house, I'd ask for an inspection on the flaking basement walls, inside and out, by a competent engineer or other qualified person. The extent of the flaking, thickness and loads on the wall, and such are germane to determine whether or not to ignore the problem.
Simply ask the inspector for his recommended remedy.
If the structural integrity of the masonry is thus estabished, two coats of Sealwall's sosium silicate treatment, or equal, would react with the cement to "tighten" it.
This is possible if the masonry is as dry as you indicate it is.
Sealwall is located at 36300 Lakeland Boulevard, Esatlake, Ohio 44094. Another product to consider is one made by Hartline Products Company, 2186 Noble Road, Cleveland, Ohio 44112. There are probably others as well.
If the masonry walls can be "tightened up" and are sound, and still they have a poor appearance, they could be plastered or paneled over furring strips.
If the stonework is already reasonably level, broom on a slurry, such as Sealwall's (or Hartline's product equivalent). If the stones are quite unlevel, trowel on the same material into the deeper areas. Follow with a coating of concrete sealant. Then apply the resilient flooring to a leveled surface.
First, however, check with a resilient- flooring dealer about the propriety of using its product below grade on a stone substrate on the ground.
As an alternative -- and if you have a couple of inches of potential head room -- you can lay redwood or treated 2-by-4 "sleepers" flat on the waterproofed stone floor. Level them as required. Then lay exterior-grade plywood to the floor.
The resilient flooring material can then be applied to this level by plywood surface.
You should probably fumigate the stonefloor space before applying the plywood , using an approved residual i nsecticide.

Sportovní nápoje jsou nápoje určeny rekreačním, výkonnostním a vrcholovým sportovcům. Podle koncentrace minerálních látek se dělí na hypotonické, izotonické a hypertonické nápoje. Podle obsahu energie na rehydratační, rehydratačně-energetické a energetické. Sportovcům jsou k dispozici jak tekuté koncentráty, tak práškové formy, určené pro přípravu sportovního nápoje.

Hypotonické nápoje
Hypotonické nápoje mají nižší osmolaritu než vnitřní prostředí v lidském organismu. Čím nižší je osmolarita, tím lepší je přecházení látek do krve. Hypotonické iontové nápoje jsou používány především při aerobních aktivitách, kdy se sportovec velmi potí (běh, cyklistika). Pot je u těchto sportovních aktivit málo koncentrovaný a jeho majoritní složkou je voda. Jelikož je třeba doplnit zejména tekutiny je nejvhodnější právě hypotonický nápoj.

Izotonické nápoje
Izotonické nápoje mají stejnou osmolaritu jako vnitřní prostředí organismu. Rychlost vstřebávání je tedy o něco pomalejší, než jak je tomu u nápojů hypotonických. Používají se zejména tam, kde sice dochází k velkému pocení, ale výkon netrvá tak dlouho (obvykle ne déle než hodinu). Pot je podstatně koncentrovanější a nedochází k tak extrémním ztrátám tekutin. Jako příklad můžeme uvést sporty, při kterých je zapotřebí velké množství svalové síly (squash, tenis). Při svalové práci je totiž třeba větší množství iontů, zejména pak sodík, draslík, vápník a hořčík. Dále je můžeme použít po ukončení zátěže ve fázi regenerace.
Obecně jsou hypotonické nápoje mnohem vhodnější pro použití při fyzické zátěži, než nápoje izotonické.

Hypertonické nápoje
Hypertonické nápoje mají vyšší osmolaritu než vnitřní prostředí organismu. Jejich použití je pro sport ve většině případů nevhodné a neuváženým použitím je možné narušit vnitřní elektrolytovou rovnováhu. Vypití hypertonického nápoje vede k sekreci do střevního lumen, a i když je tento účinek přechodný, vede k dočasnému zhoršení rozsahu dehydratace.

Energetické nápoje
Většina iontových nápojů má i energizační účinky. Jsou to tzv. iontové rehydratační a regenerační nápoje, které kryjí zvýšenou potřebu základních minerálů, zabraňují poklesu výkonnosti při vyčerpávání svalového glykogenu, podporují vytrvalost, koncentraci a vitalitu. Rehydratační energetické nápoje by měly mít maximálně 8 % sacharidů, což je koncentrace, která nezpomaluje vstřebávání tekutin a zároveň je dostačujícím zdrojem energie. Se vzrůstajícím obsahem sacharidů v nápojích se zpomaluje rychlost, s kterou tyto roztoky opouštějí žaludek. Jejich funkce už není hydratační, ale energetická. Energetické nápoje obsahují jednak vysoce energetické látky (glukóza, MCT atd.), ale také látky ovlivňující rychlost a účinnost spalování energetických sloučenin (karnitin, koenzym Q10) a látky stimulující k činnosti nervovou soustavu a tím zprostředkovaně zvyšují schopnost uvolňovat energii (kofein, taurin).

Festivals have always been important in China, with Chinese New Year probably the most important. This festival begins on the first day of the first month of the Chinese calendar and special food, clothes, decorations, and gifts are bought for good luck. This celebration ends on the 15th day of the month, which is then the Lantern Festival. Lanterns are strung, puzzles and riddles on the lanterns are solved and families have reunions so that they can all be happy together throughout the year.
Throughout the year the Chinese also celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival (usually in June), a sailing festival in remembrance of a poet, the Mid-Autumn or Moon Festival which is a harvest festival and family reunion in September and the Hungry Ghosts Festival (usually August or September) when people believe that the spirits of dead relatives can visit them.
The National Day of the People's Republic of China is celebrated on October 1 and is usually marked with events like music concerts and fireworks.


Has anyone experienced a "swollen throat" sensation, where it hurts to swallow, yawn, and do simple things that involve what I think is the esophagus? I've gone to two ENTs, but I didn't receive an actual answer as to what's causing the "dysphagia." I have a strong feeling it is inflammation because when I double up on prednisone and Advil, the symptom is quelled.
Please let me know if you have any ideas. I'm in pain and desperate.

COROLLA, N.C. (WAVY) — A wild horse is lucky to be alive after a recent choking scare in North Carolina.
According to a social media post from the Corolla Wild Horse Fund on Monday morning, one resident called authorities regarding a horse, Junior, who appeared to be in distress.
The call came in just in time, according to the organization who was able to diagnose Junior's condition and treat him as soon as he came in.
The incident happened Wednesday, June 30, after witnesses saw Junior was "running around frantically, rolling, and in a lot of discomfort." Officials from the wild horse fund noted that Junior showed behaviors similar to a horse who died from choking the year before.
Fortunately, authorities recognized the signs and were able to get Junior help.
The horse is expected to make a full recovery. In addition to the choke, he also cut his eyes when he was rolling in the sand.
The wild horse fund is using the incident to remind people to continue distancing themselves from the wild horses.
"We can't say for sure if Junior was choking on something he was fed, or on something he got out of the garbage, but either way, the message is the same. Please, please, please be responsible and thoughtful if you are staying in the horses' habitat."
NORTH PORT, Fla. (WFLA) -- Brian Laundrie was the only person involved in the death of Gabby Petito, and claimed responsibility for her death in his notebook, the FBI said Friday as the agency gets ready to close the investigation into the disappearance and death of the 22-year-old North Port woman.

Nowruz (Persian: نوروز Nowruz; [nouˈɾuːz]; literally "New Day") is the name of the Iranian New Year, also known as the Persian New Year, which is celebrated worldwide by the Iranian and Farsi speaking peoples, along with some other related ethno-linguistic groups, as the beginning of the New Year.
It has been celebrated for over 3,000 years in the Balkans, the Black Sea Basin, the Caucasus, Central Asia, and Western Asia. It usually occurs on March 21 or the previous/following day, depending on where it is observed. The moment the sun crosses the celestial equator and equalizes night and day is calculated exactly every year, and families gather together to observe the rituals.
Countries that have Nowruz as a public holiday include Afghanistan, Albania, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Iran, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Bayan-Ölgii, Mongolia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan.
Also the Canadian parliament, by unanimous consent, has passed a bill to add Nowruz to the national calendar of Canada, on March 30, 2009.
It is also taken place by Iranian communities in several regions in Europe and the Americas, including Los Angeles, Toronto, Cologne, and London. On 15 March 2010, the House of Representatives of the United States passed the Nowruz Resolution (H.Res. 267), by a 384–2 vote, "Recognizing the cultural and historical significance of Nowruz, ... ."

Hey guess what, there's a new Star Wars movie coming out! And as the latest ploy to dominate the online conversation, the film has partnered with Twitter to create emoji-generating hashtags for three members of the Episode VII universe, just as a new teaser trailer hits at Star Wars Celebration.
The emoji themselves are super adorable and super easy to use. Using the hashtags on Twitter is the only way to make the emoji appear, which means you have to go to Twitter dot com or use the Twitter app in iOS 8.3 to see them—you can't cut and paste them to use them elsewhere. My only question: WHY NO #R2D2???
Anyway, even though I'm a Star Wars person, I prefer the Vulcan salute emoji which is not really an official Twitter marketing partnership, it's just a new Unicode symbol that didn't make it into the Apple keyboard. But iOS 8.3 now supports it (so you can only see it on a phone). And I'd argue that it's infinitely more utilitarian in everyday communications.
Of course, by the time the next Star Trek movie comes out, I'm sure Twitter will have taken this hashtag over, too.

Cape Cod League

Location: Charlotte, NC
Now, Cape Cod teams are being forced to choose between maintaining a link with the major leagues and remaining true to their homespun heritage. In the case of the Chatham Athletics, homespun is winning out. The team has changed its name to the Anglers to sidestep a trademark dispute with Major League Baseball. The teams have a Nov. 1 deadline to abandon their names or purchase team uniforms and merchandise exclusively through licensed vendors.
Full article here.
On one hand, yeah, more greedy MLB, evil Bud Selig, blah, blah, blah.
On the other hand, it's an interesting region with no shortage of inspiration for names (Chatham Anglers is a GREAT start), and it's such a unique little niche league that using non-sequitur major league names (like Hyannis Mets) always seemed a little incongruous.

I think here is a case of you have both hands playing a factor. I mean a first yeah I see the cruelty factor but now that you mention it, it would be cool to see more unique nicknames and such based on the unique type of league it is. That is, excluding Harwich and Orleans like the article mentioned. I can't believe Chatham changed their name. It's especially weird since I have been going to the A's baseball camp the past two years (seeing guys like Allan Dykstra, who I was around a lot last year, even at lunch places, drafted, is awesome) and now all my merchandise is useless(not really ). This is a nonprofit league who gives free admission to see high quality baseball, and contributes to MLB teams a unique chance to see top prospects on display all in one place during the summer and using wooden bats even. Something like 18% of all MLB players played in this league at one point. I can't believe you could put type of burden on these teams and their cities. Sure it's a chance to go back to unique nicknames and such but MLB did not have good intentions when they did this. While it would be quite exciting to see teams get the chance to re-identify creatively, at least to me it's still the Y-D Red Sox, the Hyannis Mets, and the Chatham A's. However, it has always seemed silly why some teams have regional nicknames and some have MLB nicknames.
It's a bush league move by MLB, but in the end the Cape Cod League will be the winners - they'll have an all-new revenue stream which they can tap into, holding their own intellectual properties and generating cash from them.

I'd go with "Identities," personally.

Given that Harwich had the Mariners moniker 40 years before the Seattle Mariners came into existence, wouldn't precedence come into play here?
No, not really, as MLB can hang the Cape Cod League out to dry in terms of underwriting if it chose to. So while in a legal sense the Cape Cod League would be on solid ground, in reality MLB's got them by the short and curly's.


Chances are that Sony has more ambitious plans for the MWC – in an interview, a Sony exec promised a "much better camera experience", which strongly suggests that the Xperia XZ4 will be unveiled. His comments made it sound like the Compact series is done for.
But that may not be quite right – Olixar cases for the Xperia XZ4 Compact have hit the web. Previously, we saw Olixar cases for the big XZ4.
The design matches the CAD-based renders with a single camera in the upper left corner of the back and not-so-small bezels above and below the screen. There's a side-mounted fingerprint reader and a 3.5mm headphone jack on top.

The fact is American refiners can refine only so much light crude (WTI). The rest of our crude must be imported (Brent). Until we can refine all of our crude production, it makes sense to export our excess production.
& maximum amount for the answer please…in barrels!
Thanks for your Energy Advantage recommendation, Dr.Kent. We made 50% profit in just a week, BEFORE the gov't extended the solar credit. Just like you said; hang on for a thrilling ride!
Are you standing by your oil price forecast or have any new developments changed you thinking.
Your timely response is very much appreciated. And, thank you for the updates.
Pardon me, but the cat is out of the bag. Once fracking catches on everywhere else in the world all anyone can do to profit is max production Opec is history and big oil is next, old fossil fuels, then hello solar!!
Sounds as if we are faced with just the natural supply and demand forces that will determine oil prices. So with this being the case, are you standing by your projected pricing for oil in 2016.
It will be just like what big oil did to the North Sea and that was exploit the area by burning off a lot of gas in the rush for profits and unless the USA developed a massive alternative to oil the world will warm up and the stormy weather will become much worse. It is so typical of Greedy OIL Companies.
I don't understand why it's a big deal. US Consumption runs @ 19M barrels a day and production runs @ 10M barrels a day. I understand that some excess liquids can be exported but the overall impact on world markets (and thus the world price) is going to be minimal.
It seems to me that the tanker business would really pick up now that we are exporting oil.


Remember how I told you that Charlotte was Ms. Monster at our family photos? Well, she totally redeemed herself at her 18-month check up (FYI, C, next time let's shine for the photos and bring the evil for the doc).
Literally, from the second we arrived, she was the perfect little munch. She got undressed with no fuss… in fact, she even helped!
She sat on the scale like a big girl AND let the nurse measure her height and head circumference… again, no prob!
Regardless, she was well behaved for all 55/60 minutes of our appointment. The last 5 minutes, which fell about 1.5-2 hours into her naptime got a little whiny, but not bad.
Food: The doc made me feel like we have no problem in terms of food… even though many days, mealtimes feel like a nightmare. She said you have to look at it from a week's perspective. I feel like even from a daily perspective, C does well. Just usually has at least one meal a day that she does not eat well at.
Sleep: Go C!! Keep it up, gf!
Talking: Sounds like C is doing just fine! They expect at least 3 words, which Charlotte has no problem. Can't wait for them to continue! I swear, every day she shows me new skills that she's picked up.
PACI: OKAY GUYS, this is the big one. Doc said that most dentists recommend ditching the paci at a year, some by 2. With that in mind, we've decided that this weekend will be it for Charlie & paci. It gives me a little bit of a sad feeling. Like, our baby is really growing up. I think she will be totally fine with the transition, but I might cry. Our doc's one recommendation was that when we drop it, we go cold turkey. The wishy washy take it away, give it back scenario makes it much harder on the kidlings. WISH US LUCK!
I think that might be all… but seeing as how I can't remember if she even looked at my baby, I wouldn't trust anything I said. Okay, time to call hubs to find out what really happened.

But mathematics takes us still further from what is human, into the region of absolute necessity, to which not only the actual world, but every possible world, must conform.

The Impact of Science on Society, 1952.
To think I have spent my life on absolute muck.
"But," you might say, "none of this shakes my belief that 2 and 2 are 4." You are quite right, except in marginal cases -- and it is only in marginal cases that you are doubtful whether a certain animal is a dog or a certain length is less than a meter. Two must be two of something, and the proposition "2 and 2 are 4" is useless unless it can be applied. Two dogs and two dogs are certainly four dogs, but cases arise in which you are doubtful whether two of them are dogs. "Well, at any rate there are four animals," you may say. But there are microorganisms concerning which it is doubtful whether they are animals or plants. "Well, then living organisms," you say. But there are things of which it is doubtful whether they are living organisms or not. You will be driven into saying: "Two entities and two entities are four entities." When you have told me what you mean by "entity," we will resume the argument.
A sense of duty is useful in work but offensive in personal relations. Certain characteristics of the subject are clear. To begin with, we do not, in this subject, deal with particular things or particular properties: we deal formally with what can be said about "any" thing or "any" property. We are prepared to say that one and one are two, but not that Socrates and Plato are two, because, in our capacity of logicians or pure mathematicians, we have never heard of Socrates or Plato. A world in which there were no such individuals would still be a world in which one and one are two. It is not open to us, as pure mathematicians or logicians, to mention anything at all, because, if we do so we introduce something irrelevant and not formal.
The desire to understand the world and the desire to reform it are the two great engines of progress.
Every living thing is a sort of imperialist, seeking to transform as much as possible of its environment into itself... When we compare the (present) human population of the globe with... that of former times, we see that "chemical imperialism" has been... the main end to which human intelligence has been devoted.
An Outline of Philosophy, (New York 1960) 31-32.
Almost everything that distinguishes the modern world from earlier centuries is attibutable to science, which achieved its most spectacular triumphs in the seventeenth century.

Drunkenness is temporary suicide: the happiness it brings is merely negative, a momentary cessation of unhappiness.

South Africa has transformed and is rapidly emerging as a new society of energy and significance. Political violence has ceased and there is a sense of optimisim and hope among all communities as they build a new nation. The country is fortunate to have a good infrastructure and diversified economy. It has made significant gains in improving the provision of basic services, such as water and sanitation, and reforming the education system, since its first democratic elections almost a decade ago.
However, income distribution in the country is among the most unequal in the world. In 1996, almost 57 per cent of the population were living in poverty, and of these, two thirds were Africans. Racial inequalities do persist, with white per capita income being almost nine times higher than that of Africans.

One of the struggling new non-profit start-up companies is WORLD RURAL HOSPITAL CORPORATION which is a non-HMO/PPO healthcare system that is instrumental in providing adequate primary medical care to people of any race, creed, color and walks of life in Emerging Nations around the globe. WRHC has undertaken the goal of providing those same people with both the basic directional assistance and the tools, in the form of jobs and education, to better themselves, their families, their communities, and their countries. THE IDEALS OF WRHC:
1. The needs of the patient come first.
2. Medicine which is focused on the needs of patients in communities, regions,
nations, and the world.
3. Provide Emerging Nations with physicians, scientists, and other health professionals who are a dependable source of services and information.
4.	Conduct basic and clinical research programs to improve patient care and to benefit our global society.
5.	Treat everyone we encounter with respect and dignity.
6. Continuously improve all patient care, education and research.
7. Provide for and empower our employees to perform superior teamwork, take personal responsibility, and to seek the highest levels of integrity, innovation, trust, and communication.
WRHC builds and operates hospitals around the world as a humanitarian, non-political, entity for the betterment of mankind.
CURRENT OPERATING PLAN
The WRHC district hospital system is a collaborative design between WRHC and the local, regional, and/or the national government to make heath care a solution for the whole community. By providing affordable, and in some cases no-cost healthcare, the district hospital system supports the city as well as the outlying rural areas, which make up a single hospital district. Not only does a district hospital system provide a wide range of technical and administrative support for
the community, but it also provides the training necessary for primary health care and community hygiene as well. Each WRHC hospital has the capacity for complete diagnostic care (with various clinics and departments), institutional/outpatient treatment, and rehabilitation, in order to insure that patients are guaranteed to receive the highest level of competence when dealing with their individual needs. In order for the district health system to recognize itself as an integral part of a district health system and of the larger health system beyond, it will share in district-wide information gathering, planning, implementation, and evaluation of health services programs, which will include budget reviews and the monitoring of programs through management and technological
information systems. WRHC is currently designing an information and technology system in conjunction with several large and well known international companies which, when completed, will link every hospital and administrative facility to one another, around the planet. Our goal is to bring each hospital into the digital age by providing the latest in digital technology to the administrative offices, the operations areas, and right to the patient bedside. We can accomplish this by using slates, convertibles, and Personal Digital Assistants in conjunction with standard desktop technology. The system will move calls around the country or around the world at the touch of a button. Doctors will be able to exchange patient data, body imaging, and do so while seeing each other face
to face via video conferencing. Surgeons will be able to utilize the latest in robotics and computer technology in surgical operations and surgical procedures to be carried out from a distance (telesurgery). We are fortunate to have some of the best technological minds available to accomplish this task.
WRHC'S PROJECTED LOCALIZED ECONOMIC IMPACT
Several factors in our methods of carrying out our goals for each country can have a significant impact on the economy of most emerging nations a moderately favorable impact on the economy of many countries who are not considered as emerging, but are still in their middle developmental stages. In many emerging nations three factors (among several)contribute significantly to a poor general
economy:
1.	Unemployment due to lack of marketable skills
2.	A poor, Inadequate, healthcare system
3.	A circumstance known as the "brain drain."
In many emerging nations the majority of employable workers are generally from an agrarian background. To work in the industrial sector they require training and education, which most countries cannot afford. International companies are not willing to spend the money required to bring the available work force up to standard when trained workers may be more readily available elsewhere. Healthcare in emerging nations is generally provided, sparingly, by the
government and/or by relief organizations and religious organizations on a limited basis. While the quality of the physicians and nurses may be excellent, the hospital buildings and equipment are far below what might be considered "second rate" even by standards which are lower than those enjoyed in the United States and other developed nations. All access to treatment is really controlled by the financial ability of the patient to pay. Uganda (as an example) is a very poor country, where the annual income per capita is around $300, and 35 percent of the population earn less than $1.00 per day. The treatment for opportunistic diseases associated with HIV infection is too expensive for most people, so even when treatment is available (for example, amphotericin B for cryptococcal meningitis),
most people will die without treatment because they cannot afford to pay for it. Less than 5 percent of cancer patients get radiotherapy or chemotherapy, usually too late to benefit from it. Therefore, anti-retrovirals for HIV are available if you can pay for them, but only 0.5 percent of people with HIV obtain antiretroviral treatment. What that means is that of the 1.44 million people currently living with HIV, only 7,200 people have access to anti-retrovirals. At present, many American donors are bringing in anti-retroviral drugs and health professionals are being given special training to use them. The monthly cost of these drugs is now $41 per person (in US dollars), which puts them out of reach of most of the population. To put this in perspective,
consider that the amount of money required to provide medical care for every person in the country is $12 per person per year. The Ugandan government and private donors contribute $3.95 per person per year, and the patients have to come up with the rest. To treat one episode of malaria costs $4, so you can see that this is a very difficult situation. The burden on patients of paying for care is among the reasons why 57 percent of Ugandans do not generally access medical treatment. Another factor in this is that in Uganda, there is one doctor for approximately 19,000 people. However, the distribution of doctors is very unequal. Half the doctors in the country work in Kampala, the capital city. In the districts outside the capital, the ratio is one doctor to 50,000 people. So, when you
think of all the other diseases from which people suffer in this country-AIDS is within the top five, but malaria is still number one. The doctors just can't cope with the number of people who need care Qualified physicians and nurses in many emerging nations make only a fraction of their counterparts in the United States, Canada, and Europe. Doctors are mobile people. That has to be accepted as a given. However, the problem that arises from this freedom of movement is that better-researched countries are able to recruit doctors from less well-developed countries, and the poorer the country, the most likely it is to lose its doctors - though that country arguably needs its doctors the most. How can a country like Kenya, which pays its doctors less than US$256 per month, compete with the
salaries offered in more affluent nations? Medical doctors cannot live on a salary of fifty (50) dollars a month. To make ends meet, some medical doctors raise poultry or manage beer parlors. The brain drain is a historic as well as a recent phenomenon. Over four centuries, the slave ships brought the ancestors of 200 million Africans now living in the United States, Brazil, Jamaica and in the diaspora. These 200 million diasporan Africans have the highest standard of living and possess the education and skills that can be used to develop Africa but it will be impractical for them to return to Africa. Today, one in three African university graduates now lives and works outside Africa. There are more Sierra Leonean medical doctors in the city of Chicago than in the entire nation of Sierra Leone.
Africa's most important export to Europe and the United States is trained professionals, not petroleum, gold, and/or diamonds. The widely held myth is that Africa is only exporting raw materials to the west. Africa is also exporting talented human resources to Europe and America. One million Africans are working outside Africa. At the same time, Africa spends four billion dollars a year on the salary of 100,000 foreign experts. Yet, African nations are unwilling to spend a similar amount of money to recruit one million African professionals currently working outside Africa. WRHC is in a perfect situation as our charter allows us to transcend these issues and contribute to the solution instead of acting as one more cog in the wheel of a seemingly never-
ending problem.
HOSPITAL CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATIONS
Our hospitals are to be constructed of the best available materials using pre-fabrication design methods. This process of construction is intended to meet all standards set forth by the International Building Codes and Standards. While giving attention to the Standard Building Codes, it will also meet all Hospital Standards necessary, in order to provide a level of medical care equal to that of any modern hospital in the world. WRHC intends to usestate-of-the-art medical procedures and equipment. WRHC Personnel will be deployed to the hospital construction site. Approximately 150 WRHC personnel will make up an individual
deployment team (World Team). These teams will include, at a minimum:
supervisors, carpenters, plumbers, electricians, trainers, inspectors, cooks, computer and communications specialists, HR representatives, administrators, payroll and finance specialists, medical personnel, water and waste systems specialists, mechanics, and heavy equipment operators. Once deployed, our teams will establish a construction compound to house, feed, and maintain the efforts of WRHC and local construction personnel while building the hospital. When the hospital is complete the World Team housing will become housing for single medical personnel working at the hospital.
The construction facilities will include:
pure water facility, waste water facility, electrical generation, fuel storage, construction training facilities, dry and wet construction facilities, cold and dry food storage facility, kitchen, food service facility, dining hall, recreation hall, medical facility, construction administration facility, employee administration facility, housing, vehicle maintenance facility, laundry facility, tool storage, security facility, employee store, warm water generators, sanitary facility, shipping/receiving warehouse facility, general supply facility, construction supply facility, and in some cases we will need a helicopter maintenance and storage facility. Our preferred option is to install pre-fabrication factories at each hospital construction site. These facilities may be
used after the completion of the hospital to fabricate panels for housing, community centers, commercial developments, and other suburban environments. The patented system relates to a pre-designed series of batteries, which contain vertically slung steel molds from which panels are cast to suit the production requirement. Additionally, a pre-designed number of steel molds are set up, on site, to produce columns and ground beams at a rate to suit the project requirements. The production compound, where the casting facility is located, is positioned on site to best suit the overall layout, also taking materials delivery into account. The pre-fabricated, structural panels can be manufactured in batteries of up to 25 per
battery. Once cured, two or three men can easily manipulate these lightweight panels into place. Windows and other openings are planned into the battery as are electrical chases and some rudimentary plumbing lines. Once in place, the panels do not need an external covering, but will require an interior surfacing. Those panels used on the interior may not require any surfacing at all other than paint. All panels required for the construction of a single hospital can be manufactured in 30 days or less. The hospital will be constructed on a site designated and donated by the host country using experienced indigenous construction workers. This virtually assures WRHC of having access to a trained work force should any post-construction servicing or additions to the
hospital building be necessary. WRHC will institute a training program for unskilled workers.
BASIC RURAL HOSPITAL DESIGN
Our Architectural Design Group will be chartered with the task of coming up with as many as six basic hospital designs. While each will share many similarities, each will be slightly different in ways that can conform to minor changes in the landscape or to adapt to specific cultural requirements.
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS:
As often as the geo-environment will allow, we will be utilizing solar or co-generation power in all hospitals. The advantage of a single level hospital design is
that we have massive rooftop spaces, which are perfect for solar fields, incorporating many banks of solar panels. A single level design allows us to make generous use of skylights, for the inclusion of natural light into the clinics, wards, and public spaces. The hospital design will include several interior courtyards, which will allow a greater opportunity for the circulation of natural air. The largest single issue will be the storage of excess electrical energy. In developed nations this excess energy can often be sent back into the established electrical grid with credit given to the initiator (the hospital). At night or during other periods when the solar cells won't provide the energy, the initiator can go back onto the grid to
retrieve energy for operations. In less developed countries, this is an issue since the grid is often less reliable.
OPERATING ROOMS AND OTHER AREAS:
When the first WRHC Rural Hospital opens its suite of new operating rooms, we hope that it will signal a new way of performing surgery. For efficiency, the OR suite will be connected to the Shock Trauma Center and share recovery and sterile areas. Fully wired rooms will contain sterile environment computers, X-ray capability online, voice control lights, laparoscopic cameras and video-enhanced white boards. One room will be able to convert from interventional radiology/catheter lab to a conventional operating room, allowing surgeons to operate if a patient's condition
deteriorates or presents an option for a combination angioplasty and open technique, without moving the patient. Another room will be copper shielded to prepare for a portable intra-operative MRI. Each OR will use high definition flat panel display screens for crisper details and greater videoscopic control in the body cavity. The screens will be moveable and can be placed for more optimal use by the surgical team as well as for observation outside the OR by students and others. The Chiefs of Surgery, Nursing, and Medicine, at the local level will have 24 hour access via closed circuit television to all surgeries in WRHC hospitals, anywhere in the world. Interested WRHC surgeons, physicians, and nursing staff, around the world will also be able to tune in to observe procedures or the
introduction of new techniques. While today's OR is cluttered with equipment, cables and instrumentation, the WRHC operating rooms will house bulky equipment in sterile spaces connected to the suites, allowing immediate service access without impeding traffic flow in activity in the OR. Staff will no longer need to run or call from room to room asking about status. With video and other communication technologies, the WRHC suites will allow immediate visualization of all the operating rooms to offer a visual context in each OR and know if they need help if a patient has "crashed", or the surgical team has finished a case. The general OR area will house one or more medical simulators so surgeons and residents can practice new techniques. They can rehearse
a procedure until they are comfortable. Simplifying the influx of information falls to a discipline called medical informatics, which assembles all patient information electronically. By scanning the patient's RFID device attached to the wrist, surgeons will be able immediately access patient histories and recent test results. Moreover, this hybrid of medical records and technology allows for enhanced documentation and connectivity with other medical departments.
NEW ER LAYOUTS
Each new emergency room will contain the most advanced technology available in an emergency setting and offer multidisciplinary care across the entire medical spectrum. The new emergency department will also feature
comforts designed to ease patient anxiety and promote privacy. Visibility and accessibility are key points for the WRHC Emergency rooms so that staff, and possibly security personnel, can be quickly alerted or informed in difficult situations. Each WRHC ER will feature a chest pain evaluation center, fast track services for patients who are not critically ill and immediate access to CT scan and other radiology services without leaving the suite. Patient rooms will be designed with privacy in mind, as well as workflow efficiency for the medical staff. The space will be designed to be more efficient and with patient and clinical needs in mind. As mentioned earlier, each unit will be next door to the Shock Trauma Center, the Operating Rooms, X-Ray, and the hyperbaric chamber.
HOSPITAL ROOM DESIGN
The floor plan is perhaps the most important design element and can only be addressed with new construction. By using a modified hexagon configuration or a circular design with the nursing station in the center, all rooms are equidistant from the staff. With this design, all rooms can be visible from the nursing station. Many hospitals have long corridors, which places some rooms at a great distance from the staff. This makes it necessary to triage patients and place those that are more ambulatory and less ill in the distant rooms. All patient corridors are visible from the nursing station and there are no dead ends where patients cannot be seen while ambulatory. It has been shown that an ideal number of beds for a critical core unit
is twelve. Big is not always better when it comes to taking care of acutely ill patients. In any WRHC hospital room or ward environment, should a patient's condition deteriorate suddenly, then all the equipment needed will be built into the cabinetry, thereby avoiding a transfer to a critical care unit. This design allows for a comfortable and quiet environment, such that we have noted a virtual absence of confusion and disorientation. Heart patients are especially prone to sudden life-threatening events and therefore minute by minute monitoring is important rather than relying on sporadic "bed checks" during nursing rounds. Each area will be fully computerized with monitoring capability to allow all vital signs including pulse, EKG rhythm, blood pressure, oxygen
saturation, and temperature to be visualized in the room and simultaneously at the nursing station. If only the EKG is being monitored at the nursing station, many patient problems may be missed until a crisis develops. Hospital acquired infections are of great concern especially with the rise of resistant bacteria. Recent studies have shown that both fungi and bacteria can grow in carpet and upholstery fabric. Linoleum when washed can harbor certain microbial organisms. In an effort to better sanitize and clean patient areas, our suites will have tiled floors with sealed epoxy grout, which is impervious to fluids. The majority of hospital injuries occur due to falls from beds. Both the likelihood of falling and the severity of the injury increase
with age. Falls tend to occur in the first three days of a hospitalization when the patient is unfamiliar with the surroundings and may be early in the recovery from an operation. Most falls occur at night prompted by a need to use the bathroom and they are more frequent on medical-surgical floors where the nurse to patient ratio is lower therefore bed alarms are vital in these areas. Potential injuries in the shower are decreased by having built-in benches and grab bars. Fall-prevention interventions will involve using bed devices that have a built-in alarm system monitored in the room, and at the nursing station, using both visual and auditory signals to alert the staff that a patient is attempting to get out of bed without help. When this devise is used in combination with guardrails, we feel that
falls can be decreased by an astounding 75%. Video cameras with night vision have been placed in each suite for added protection. These cameras can be adjusted from the nursing station to either give a panoramic view of the room or a zoom in on the patient to make sure that oxygen, catheters, and the like are not inadvertently discontinued by the patient. At each patient bed, a small flat panel LCD video display (approximately 6 by 11 inches) will be attached to an adjustable swing arm. This display can be used for a variety of things including, watching television, conferences with physicians and nursing staff, as well as the display of medical information and education regarding the individual patient's medical situation. Access to medical condition information
(how does my new knee replacement work) will be initiated with the input of the patient's bar code identification. By utilizing this technology, our hope is that patients will be better informed and less frightened about upcoming procedures or their future.
