What if Your Everyday Mid-Century Furniture Was Suddenly Useless?
Everybody loves a good and classic mid-century furniture piece, so it'd be a disaster if we suddenly told you they all became completely… useless. Only, it's much more than that.
This odd and unique idea came to life when french photographer Patrice Letarnec decided to create a collection of "Prank Furniture". This particular series Uncomfortable depicts iconic mid-century tables and chairs re-thought in a very deformed way, making them art pieces.
We can see chairs with protruding seats, precariously unbalanced legs, and alarmingly uneven surfaces. Above is the reinterpretation of the Softshell chair by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, 2009.
Standard SP by Jean Prouvé, 1934/1950.
For his Uncomfortable series, Letarnec decided to turn all those aesthetically pleasing pieces of furniture we all love into the absurdly impractical. By manipulating the key characteristics of some of the world's most recognizable design objects, like Jean Prouvé's Standard SP chair, which is missing half of one of its legs. A Home Design Ideas team favorite has got to be the wooden posts coming out of Hee Welling and HAY's lounge sofa. You could also see how Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec's Softshell Chair featured a fin-shaped appendix protruding from its seat.

So, do you wanna get the mid-century modern look? Here, we give you a little help with that by showing the best home design ideas. Take a look at these amazing decorating ideas and feel inspired!
The Midcentury modern's style emphasis on pared-down forms, contemporary patterns, natural materials and a seamless flow between indoors and out creating a medley of functional cozy and chic look.
The mid-century modern, bridges the organic and the man-made, with one foot in the natural world and the other in brave new territory that still has the power to inspire us today.
Midcentury modern homes took advantage of the new passion for bringing the indoors out and vice versa: wide windows, sliding doors, patios.
The idea was to give a connection with the natural world that worked equally well with a book in your lap during a quiet moment or a cocktail in your hand at a party.
The Midcentury-style is unique and that it's largely driven by innovative mass-produced furniture and accents. Perhaps no other period produced the same volume of household-name artists and designers as this era: George Nelson, Charles and Ray Eames, Eero Saarinen and dozens more.
Choose the best furniture for your mid-century modern look.

Vendors must decide whether to acquire or develop blockchain technology now—years before their clients require it.
Boston, March 2, 2017 – Many of the hundreds of chain-related deployments launched worldwide in 2016 are in development. Regulators as well as business leaders confront a twin challenge: grasping this new technology and passing new rules based on partially understood truths, pitfalls, and nuances. But blockchain platform vendors that are chosen by corporations or capital markets firms stand to make today's emerging chains run as smoothly as TCP/IP does for the internet. Time is ticking, and these 10 chaintech platforms—Axoni AxCore, Chain Core, Digital Asset platform, Ethereum, Hyperledger's Fabric, Nasdaq Linq, Overstock.com's t0, R3's Corda, SETL's OpenCSD, and Symbiont's Assembly—urgently need to be near the top of the pack to survive the inevitable cuts.
This report addresses how competition takes place among these platforms and what strategic implementation options regulators, chaintech proponents, and incumbent settlement firms possess. It is based on qualitative Aite Group interviews from June 2016 to February 2017 with 30 senior executives from blockchain firms, financial markets utilities, technology firms, trading venues, industry groups, asset managers, and securities regulators.

Health risks and safety
Radiation and your health
Understanding radiation
About radiation
Radiation is energy that comes from a source and travels through space as waves or particles. There are different types of radiation, each with their own characteristics or properties.
Sources of non-ionizing radiation
Ionizing radiation
Sources of ionizing radiation exposure
Noise (acoustical radiation)
Electromagnetic radiation refers to energy that travels in waves through space at the speed of light. Electromagnetic radiation can be either ionizing or non-ionizing radiation depending on its frequency.
Frequency describes how quickly the energy waves move up and down. The higher the frequency of the radiation the higher its energy. Frequency is expressed in Hertz (Hz), or how many times a wave goes up and down in 1 second.
Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive peaks or troughs of a wave. The longer the wavelength of the radiation, the lower its energy. Wavelength is expressed in distance (mm, cm).
Frequency and wavelength are directly related. As wavelength increases, or the distance between the peaks increases, the frequency, or the number of waves, decreases. Therefore as wavelength increases, the frequency of the radiation decreases.
Frequency = 1/wavelength
Non-ionizing radiation is also a type of electromagnetic radiation. This type of radiation does not have enough energy to detach electrons.
Non-ionizing radiation includes:
radiofrequency waves
Non-ionizing radiation can come from natural and artificial sources.
Natural sources of non-ionizing radiation include:
light and heat from the sun
the Earth's natural electric and magnetic fields
Artificial sources of non-ionizing radiation include everyday things such as:
wireless devices such as:
cell phone towers
Wi-Fi equipment
radio and TV broadcast antennas
lighting products such as:
power lines and household wiring
handheld lasers and laser pointers
Ionizing radiation is a type of radiation that can detach electrons from, or ionize, other atoms as they pass through matter. It includes electromagnetic waves and subatomic particles. Examples of ionizing radiation include:
some forms of electromagnetic radiation:
high energy ultraviolet radiation
particle radiation such as:
alpha particles
beta particles (electrons)
Natural sources of ionizing radiation include radiation in the environment from rocks and soil as well as cosmic radiation from space. These sources of radiation are referred to as "background" radiation.
Artificial sources of ionizing radiation include:
medical devices such as:
Baggage X-ray screening devices
Industrial devices used for scientific research and measurement
Find out more on the health effects of radiation.
Acoustical radiation is energy that is produced by a vibrating source and travels through air, water and solid materials in the form of waves. These vibrations produce sound.
Sound can be separated into 3 categories:
Infrasound is the range of low frequency sound waves that humans do not typically hear. Scientists measure infrasound levels to detect earthquakes and to forecast volcano eruptions.
Audible sound is the range of medium frequency sound waves that most humans can hear. Listening to sound that is too loud can damage your hearing.
Ultrasound is the range of high frequency sound waves that humans typically do not hear. Medical professionals use ultrasound to create an image of tissues inside of the body.

QUICK REVIEW: Cheesy Quesadilla Pringles
June 8, 2016 June 8, 2016 Marvo 5 Rating, Chips, Pringles, Reviews
I imagine putting together a Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme is like brain surgery when compared with the effort it takes to make a cheesy quesadilla. Making one is easier than typing qasadia quasadila quesadila quesadea quesadilla for a first time speller of the word. It involves these simple steps: warm up a soft tortilla in a skillet, sprinkle on a lot of cheese, wait for cheese to melt, fold tortilla in half, and eat.
But Pringles, the Master of Potato Flake Compression, has given us a much simpler way to experience the simple dish — Cheesy Quesadilla Pringles.
It's not a new flavor, it originally came out years ago, but it hasn't been on shelves for a while and is currently exclusive to Walgreens. So you can pick up a can while you're picking up your prescription for something that only you and your doctor know about. Oh, and don't forget to take your Walgreens Balance Rewards Card. This paragraph was not brought to you by Walgreens at the corner happy & healthy.
The flavor of these crisps is not what I would consider bold or cheese quesadilla-like. There's a light cheesiness with an equally light pepperiness. I know what these are supposed to taste like, but it doesn't fire my neurons in a way that makes me think cheesy quesadilla. Instead, all I can think about is watered down chile con queso.
Maybe the flavors are mild because Pringles wanted to recreate the flavor dampening abilities of soft tortillas. Or maybe the seasoning robot in the Pringles factory was set to level 4 by accident.
Overall, Cheesy Quesadilla Pringles are adequate. I don't think it's one of those "accidentally eat more than half a can in one sitting" flavors, like sour cream and onion or original. I guess what I'm trying to say is if you see it while picking up your medication at Walgreens, it's probably not worth a try.
Disclosure: I received a free sample from Pringles in return for an honest review. Receiving the sample did not influence my review.

JJJ says:
Is the texture different? It looks different.
I thought the texture was the same. They do look a little bumpy though.
drbananahammock says:
I see what they were going for – the overall profile is similar in spirit to a Taco Bell quesadilla. However, in true Pringles fashion, the amount of seasoning applied is pathetic (most seasonings are presented to them at a rate of 5-6% on the chip – barely half that makes it onto the final product). So it's lacking in just about every area, including first and foremost: cheese! Pringles are the most hit or miss chip out there and this one is another miss.

Whether behind the viewfinder of my cameras or pushing paint in my studio, creativity moves me.
I love being surrounded by environments that engage energy. Good energy. I crave it. Certain times of the day are chock filled with it, and my studio absorbs it all.
I play with cardboard, charcoal, vintage cameras, dull scissors, and dip my hands into gallons of paint... all while moving in my favorite personal direction. Forward.


Entertaining is all about crowd-pleasing recipes and keeping things simple. Baked gouda is a classic! I've been enjoying variations of this recipe since I was a child, when my mother used to prepare baked gouda inside crescent roll dough. While crescent roll dough certainly works (and you can absolutely use it here), I prefer using puff pastry for one simple reason: it's beautiful. It doesn't take any time to roll out or shape, and the way it puffs up around the cheese and turns golden under the egg wash makes it look absolutely elegant without any effort.
If you're entertaining over the course of several hours, bake one wheel at a time as opposed to both of them at once.
Some people like to serve this with crackers, but I recommend fruit. Apples and pears offer a sweet, light, juicy crunch to balance the heaviness of the cheese and pastry. I used an applewood smoked gouda cheese, which pairs especially well with apples.
If you are using classic gouda as opposed to the smoked variety, you could serve this with some apple butter instead (or better yet, spread some on top of the cheese before wrapping it in the puff pastry).
Heat oven to 400°F. Line 1 large or 2 small baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cut puff pastry sheet in half. On lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to thin each dough piece until large enough to encase gouda. Place dough on prepared baking sheet. (Note: try to work swiftly before the dough becomes too soft. If at any time the dough becomes difficult to work with, place it in refrigerator 10-15 minutes before continuing).
Place wheel of cheese in center of puff pastry piece. Fold excess dough around cheese in circular pattern so cheese is completely encased. Flip dough over so folded dough is on the bottom and the flat side is on top. Repeat with remaining cheese and dough.
Lightly brush top of pastry with egg wash and poke a few holes in dough with knife.
Bake 20-25 minutes, until dough is golden brown and cheese is starting to bubble out the top. If you prefer more caramelization on top, briefly flip rounds and broil 30-90 seconds, watching closely.
Transfer baked gouda to serving plates. Serve warm with sliced apples and toasted slivered almonds, if using.


On the surface at least, modern foods systems appear to be astonishingly diverse. A person walking into a supermarket almost anywhere in the world can be overwhelmed by the profusion of choices. The productivity of our food systems is also impressive: between 1961 and 2001, crop yields more than doubled in all regions of the developing world except Africa.
But this abundance and variety are deceptive. Hunger and malnutrition persist in many countries in spite of increased food production.
In the food industry, a few ingredients like refined flour, sugar, soy, palm oil and high fructose corn syrup appear in a wide range of different products. What seems like variety is actually just endless re-engineering, re-combinations and repackaging of the same basic, highly processed ingredients. Meanwhile, rising consumption of ultra-processed foods such as fizzy drinks, crisps, energy bars and sweets are contributing towards a global epidemic of overweight and obesity, as well as diet-related non-communicable diseases such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease.
At the same time, the world's rich agricultural biodiversity is at risk, and with it the resilience of our food systems. Agricultural landscapes are becoming increasingly simplified as the number of crops, crop varieties and animal breeds grown on farms declines.
The loss of agricultural biodiversity coincides with a trend towards the homogenisation of diets. A mere 30 crops supply 95 per cent of the calories that people obtain from food, and only four crops – maize, rice, wheat and potatoes – supply over 60 per cent (PDF).
Such heavy reliance on a narrow range of crops, crop varieties and animal breeds brings long-term increasing risks for agricultural production, for livelihoods, and for nutrition. It also undermines the ability of agriculture to adapt to climate change.
Citizens currently have little input into food systems apart from their consumption choices. Key policy decisions are often disconnected from the interests of both producers and consumers. How can we reorient food systems towards greater diversity, health, sustainability and inclusiveness?
A key opportunity is to look at how diverse agricultural production and diverse diets can be mutually reinforcing. Given that consumer demand and purchasing power shape the incentives that farmers have to maintain a diverse array of crops, promoting diverse diets helps to conserve agricultural biodiversity and support rural development. At the same time, diverse agricultural production can make a wide variety of foods available to consumers. Informal food systems play a vital role in fostering diversity in food production and consumption in many developing countries, and are often the cheapest and most accessible source of food for low income consumers. Rather than attempting to restrict or eliminate informal food markets, governments should allow them to thrive and find ways to work closely with food vendors.
We also need multi-stakeholder approaches that can ensure that the voices of all relevant groups are heard – particularly those marginalised groups such as smallholder farmers and women who play a critical role in safeguarding agrobiodiversity and diverse diets.
Food Change Labs are one proven approach for bringing all the relevant stakeholders together to jointly analyse problems and come up with innovative solutions acceptable to all parties. Hivos and IIED have been working with local partners to convene Food Change Labs in Indonesia, Uganda, Zambia and Bolivia.
By building upon citizens' knowledge and practices, Food Change Labs and similar approaches can help to reshape food systems towards greater diversity, health, inclusiveness and sustainability.
Increase awareness and catalyse change through innovative multi-stakeholder approaches like food labs, that explicitly bring in the voices and perceptions of farmers and consumers, including women and young people.
Food Change Labs and other work described above are part of the 'Sustainable Diets for All' programme, which builds capacity among local civil society organisations in Uganda, Indonesia, Bolivia and Zambia to advocate for sustainable, diverse and healthy diets.


The new Toyota PROACE presents a very complete offering ranging from the Panel Van version to the VIP shuttle of the people carrier.
The PROACE adds an unprecedented Compact version that with a 4.6 m length which has the footprint of a Compact Duty Van (CDV) while the Verso range is able to accommodate up to 9 passengers while the panel van can transport load of 4.6 to 6.1 cubic metres.
Its striking Under Priority frontal design language identifying it as the latest addition to the Toyota family, the new PROACE is available in a choice of three body sizes - Compact, Medium and Long.4.6 m long and with a 2.9 m wheelbase, the Compact version offers a remarkable size/roominess ratio. Despite still offering a 9-seat cabin capacity or a 4.6 to 5.1 cubic metres load compartment volume, its turning circle of only 11.3 metres makes it easy to manoeuvre and park in built-up areas.
The Medium version is 4.9 m long with a 3.2 m wheelbase. The Long version has the same 3.2 m wheelbase but features an extended rear overhang for greater cargo capacity, increasing overall length to 5.3 m. All variants are 2.2 m wide and 1.9 m high.
The new PROACE range is available with a range of five powertrains featuring 1.6 and 2.0 litre diesel engines offering a choice of power outputs and transmissions. The entire range benefits from CO2 emissions reductions over outgoing models, and now targets best-in-class CO2 emissions in the Medium Duty Van (MDV) segment.
A 70 kW/95 DIN hp variant of the 1.6 litre engine may be mated to either a 5-speed manual transmission (210 Nm torque) or a 6-speed robotised manual transmission (240 Nm torque). The former generates CO2 emissions of 144 to 148 g/km and fuel consumption of 5.5 to 5.6 l/100 km, whilst, the latter just 135 to 139 g/km and fuel consumption of 5.2 to 5.4 l/100 km.
Delivering 300 Nm of torque, a more powerful, 85 kW/115 DIN hp version of the 1.6 litre unit is mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. It generates CO2 emissions of 133-137 g/km CO2 and fuel consumption of 5.1 to 5.2 l/100 km.
Recommended for increased payloads thanks to their high torque of 340 Nm and 370 Nm respectively, both the 90 kW/122 DIN hp and 110 kW/150 DIN hp variants of the 2.0 litre turbodiesel are mated to 6-speed manual transmissions. They generate 139-143 g/km of CO2 and fuel consumption of 5.3 to 5.5 l/100 km.
Mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission and delivering 400 Nm of torque, the 130 kW/177 DIN hp variant of the 2.0 litre unit is the most powerful engine in the new PROACE VAN model range. It generates CO2 emissions of 151-155 g/km and fuel consumption of 5.7 to 5.9 l/100 km.
All powertrains are Euro 6 compliant and are equipped with selective catalytic reduction to lower the amount of NOx released into the atmosphere. A 22.5 litre tank of AdBlue ensures the optimal functioning of the system for 15,000 km. The tank can be easily refilled via a filling flap on the B-pillar, accessible behind a cover with the driver's door open.
A standard maintenance interval of 40,000 km - two years variable1 contributes to a low cost of ownership.
The new PROACE is equipped with 'Toyota Safety Sense', a newly developed set of active safety technologies designed to help prevent or mitigate collisions across a wide range of traffic situations. In addition, the people carrier variant has been awarded a 5-star Euro NCAP crash test rating.
Combining millimetre-wave radar and camera technology for advanced detection capabilities, the new Toyota's active safety systems include Forward Collision Warning, Autonomous Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Monitor, Lane Departure Alert, Driver Attention Alert, Road Sign Assist and Intelligent Speed Adaptation, Adaptive Front Lighting, and an Automatic High Beam system.
Available in Panel, Semi-glazed or Glazed VAN variants, the PROACE Compact features three front cabin seats and have a cargo bay 2.1 m long and 1.6 m wide, for a total cargo volume of 4.6 cubic metres.
Offered in Panel, Semi-glazed or Glazed VAN, Crew Cab and Combi variants, the Medium version is 4.9 m long with a 3.2 m wheelbase. Fitted with the Smart Cargo system, maximum cargo length increases from 2.5 to 3.7 m, and total cargo volume rises from 5.3 to 5.8 cubic metres.
The Long version has the same 3.2 m wheelbase but features an extended rear overhang for greater cargo capacity, increasing overall length to 5.3 m. It has a cargo bay 2.8 m long and 1.6 m wide, for a total cargo volume of 6.1 cubic metres. The Smart Cargo system increases maximum cargo length to 4.0 m, and total cargo volume rises to 6.6 cubic metres.
Benefitting from practical, left- and right-hand side sliding rear doors and side hinged, 180 degree opening, double rear doors, all three PROACE VAN bodies are 1.9 m wide and around 1.9 m high. They have a maximum payload capacity of up to 1,400 kg, and a towing capacity of up to 2,500 kg.
250° hinges on Long that allows the doors to fold back onto the vehicle flanks. This can be used for bay loading or to avoid infringing on the roadway or kerb.
On board, the robust, functional and spacious cab has been designed to meet the needs of both commercial and private owners. The dashboard design features clear, analogue dial instrumentation and ergonomic switchgear. Boasting excellent visibility, the PROACE VAN's SUV-like driving position features a short-throw gear lever mounted as close to the steering wheel as possible, maximising the time that the driver spends with both hands on the wheel.
Available in three grades, the new PROACE VERSO offers customers a choice of three body lengths. Across the entire model range, from the unique Compact, Toyota's new MPV allows up to 9 passengers to travel comfortably with their luggage.
Five diesel powertrains vary in output from 95 to 177 DIN hp. Mated to a choice of manual, robotised manual and automatic transmissions; they target best-in-class CO2 emissions.
High specification levels include unique, user-friendly equipment such as rail-mounted sliding seats, opening rear tailgate glass, foot-operated automatic sliding side doors and a panoramic roof. Safety standards are on a par with the high levels expected of any Toyota passenger car, and the PROACE VERSO has been awarded 5 stars in the Euro NCAP crash test programme.
Benefitting from practical, left- and right-hand side sliding rear doors and a top-hinged tailgate, all three PROACE VERSO variants are 2.2 m wide and around 1.9 m high.
Family grade models may be identified by coloured bumpers, a chrome trim surround to the lower front grille, fog lamps and separate-opening tailgate glass fitted as standard. A grade dependent choice of wheels includes 16" or 17" steel with full-wheel covers and 17" alloys.
A comprehensive options list includes foot-operated automatic sliding side doors and, on all grades of Medium and Long vehicles, a panoramic glass roof.
On board, the robust, functional and spacious interior has been designed to meet the needs of both private and commercial owners, transporting up to nine passengers, and their luggage, in comfort. Comprehensive storage throughout the cabin includes cup-holders and generous door pockets.
The dashboard design features clear, analogue dial instrumentation and ergonomic switchgear. Boasting excellent all-round visibility, the PROACE VERSO's SUV-like driving position features a short-throw gear lever mounted as close to the steering wheel as possible, maximising the time driver spends with both hands on the wheel.

One Hundred Years of LGBT History in Nicaragua: Stories from the Global South
Collaborative Group
Dr. Karen Kampwirth, Professor Victoria González-Rivera
In Nicaragua over the past century, at times of rapid social change and heightened anxiety, elites have often cracked down on "sodomites," or lesbians, or both. At other times, dictatorial politicians have tried to co-opt LGBT people in an effort to consolidate their own power, and to make their governments appear liberal and modern. Despite these challenges, there is a vibrant LGBT rights movement today. Political scientist Karen Kampwirth and historian Victoria González-Rivera present a new history of Nicaragua, using sexuality as a lens with which to see what others have missed. Nicaraguan LGBT people have not received the attention they warrant in histories of the period, and sexuality studies scholars often assume that LGBT politics requires a model of capitalist development and transformation of the nuclear family that is largely found in the Global North and the richer countries of the Global South. By examining intersections among sexuality, state formation, and capitalist development in Nicaragua, this study shows that Nicaraguan history was not made solely by heterosexuals, that LGBT Nicaraguans were not socially marginal, and that the country's past is understandable only by attending to sexuality. At the same time, the project demonstrates that LGBT history is not only the history of predominantly middle-class countries, and that LGBT people can organize for their own rights even absent particular economic and social conditions. This story has important lessons for a world in which most people live in the poorer countries of the Global South. This project builds on a two-decade-long collaboration between Kampwirth and González-Rivera, who together have completed multiple projects on gender, sexuality, and politics in Nicaragua. Award period: July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018


These bridal portraits happened pretty organically. We were planning on shooting these at the Fort Worth Modern Art Museum in gorgeous golden hour light. However, Lauren got her makeup and hair done in Dallas and her appointment ran late. That meant she had to try to make it all the way across DFW in Friday afternoon traffic. Needless to say she did not make it until the light was almost gone. Since I had been expecting to shoot with the sun out, I didn't bring any flashes or lighting equipment. We got a few quick shots in front of the museum and then headed to a local parking garage. I knew I could use the lights there and hoped we could get some interesting images. Lauren was so awesome and handled everything wonderfully! I think we ended up with some memorable bridal portraits that are unique and just as beautiful as they would have been in the light of day.
This bridal photoshoot turned out to be a wonderful experience despite the change in plans. If you are thinking of getting married in Dallas – Fort Worth or anywhere else, learn about me and please say hi. I would love the opportunity to connect with you and tell your story!
Be sure to check out Lauren wedding day story here.

Q: Leading PacMan to the dot I'm trying to create a PacMan A.I.
The one last thing I am desperately trying to get done is to give Pacman an actual path from his current position to any other position.
The difficulty for me with this one is that there can be, as you all know, walls in his way.
Here is an example (E=empty field, D=dot, P=Pacman, W=wall, X=path):
I've got this Pacman Map as an array:
W-W-W-W-W-W-W
W-E-E-E-E-E-W
W-E-P-E-E-E-W
W-E-E-E-E-E-W
W-W-W-W-E-E-W
W-E-D-E-E-E-W
W-W-W-W-W-W-W

And I want to have this Output:
W-W-W-W-W-W-W
W-E-E-E-E-E-W
W-E-P-E-E-E-W
W-E-X-X-X-E-W
W-W-W-W-X-E-W
W-E-D-X-X-E-W
W-W-W-W-W-W-W

So I need an array that shows a way around the walls.
With the folowing code I was able to get the Manhattan distance:
public static void ManhattanDist(int currentX, int currentY) {
    int[][] ratings = new int[5][5];
    int value = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < ratings.length; i++) {
        value = Math.abs(i - currentX);
        for (int j = 0; j < ratings[i].length; j++) {
            ratings[i][j] = value + Math.abs(j - currentY);
            System.out.print("-" + ratings[i][j]);
        }
        System.out.println();
    }
}

In a similar kind of way I want to find the actual path.
Does anyone have any idea? I hope you people can help me out :D


Int J Med Inform - Junior doctors' prescribing work after-hours and the impact of computerized decision support.
CKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: computerized provider order entry (CPOE) systems with integrated decision support (DS) can reduce prescribing errors, but their impact may vary depending on the clinical setting. This study aimed to assess the impact of partial implementation of CPOE on junior doctors' prescribing work after-hours and to examine differences in junior doctors' use of DS during transcribing and their own prescribing tasks.METHODS: Twelve junior doctors at a 350-bed teaching hospital in Sydney, Australia were shadowed between 16:30 and 22:30 over eight weeks for 65 h. CPOE was available on all wards except for the emergency department (ED). All medication tasks, computerized alerts, prescriber responses, and uses of reference material were recorded.RESULTS: Of 306 medication orders entered into the CPOE, 78.4% were transcribed from paper ED charts. A total of 113 alerts were triggered, most (78%) were read but only 6 (5%) resulted in prescribers changing an order. Reference material was accessed three times more frequently when junior doctors made their own prescribing decisions than when they transcribed other doctors' orders, but a similar proportion of alerts was read during decision-making and transcribing tasks.CONCLUSION: Junior doctors spent most of their after-hours prescribing time transcribing other doctors' orders. This is a new task brought about by partial CPOE implementation. Junior doctors read computerized alerts and used online reference material to support their decision-making. However they rarely made changes to a medication order following alert generation, suggesting the alert information was often not clinically relevant.

A young gal by the name of Charlotte Alter posted a tweet last week that got absolutely scorched. Here it is and you can imagine what the replies and retweets looked like.
14,000 replies to this tweet and counting. Of particular note is that Ms. Alter is in some pretty rarified air when it comes to being privileged. Her daddy, Jonathan Alter, is a best-selling author and "journalist". He is published by the major media outlets and is on TV to offer his opinion. Her mom, Emily, used to be the executive producer of "The Colbert Report". She went to Harvard for crying out loud. Her family lives in Montclair, New Jersey, which has a median family income of $126,983. She is a 28 year old that writes for Time Magazine, an outlet that was pretty prestigious 25 years ago. Even her comment about Fruit Roll-Ups is telling, that is basically a pre-chewed fruit mixed with sugar so you don't even have to put in the effort of peeling or washing the fruit before eating. It is about 90% digested already. In other words, this girl has grown up surrounded by prosperity and privilege from birth but we are supposed to believe she has her finger on the pulse of a generation that doesn't know anything about prosperity and that complains non-stop about the raw deal they got on iPhones that cost more than billions of people make in a year.
Lots of people are piling on with the usual complaints about millennials but this is actually a pretty serious issue since so many of them are going to be voting and holding elected office soon.
Human existence is largely defined by struggle. Most of human history is a series of struggles for survival. It was only 100 years ago that the Spanish flu pandemic killed as many as 100 million people or around 5% of the entire population of the world. In much of the world the struggle for survival is a daily reality. Cyclone Idai (and can we stop naming every single weather event?) in southern Africa killed hundreds and possibly thousands of people earlier this week. The greatest stories of the human experience have to do with people overcoming the odds and triumphing over hardship. No one writes moving accounts of being misgendered by a store clerk.
This generation of Americans doesn't have that. They have lived in a bubble-wrapped existence where everything was available without effort. Need something? You just order it from Amazon and it magically appears at your door in two days. Want to read a book, really just about any book ever written? Download it instantly. Need to be entertained? Every possible entertainment is available in a little handheld box on demand, 24-7. You can have your groceries delivered and now you can even get McDonalds and Taco Bell delivered. Really, unless you are stoned out of your gourd, why would you pay to have Taco Bell delivered? (That comment is mostly out of jealousy that I live where you can't get Taco Bell delivered).
That is not to say that none of them have ever experienced struggle or hardship. Many of them have of course. But as a whole they have a terribly skewed perspective on just how easy they have it.
People that have had everything spoon-fed to them their entire lives don't react well to the real world. It is a truth many of us have observed when it comes to the grandchildren of wealthy people. That third generation doesn't appreciate it. The children of the newly wealthy seem to understand it a little better, they probably saw their father building the wealth they enjoy but for their grandkids it is just something they come to expect so they seem to squander it and never appreciate what they have. Richest guy I ever knew was third generation rich and he was unhappy all the time even though he was insanely rich and literally had to do nothing but deposit the checks each month.
In the absence of real struggle and oppression, they make up up their own out of thin air. They are endlessly and breathlessly complaining about ridiculous "systems of oppression" and then proceed to "fight" against mostly non-existent problems. This is a generation that thinks they are the most oppressed and therefore the most activist in history but in reality they are fighting against phantom problems that only exist in their minds. Deep down they know something is missing from their lives, something very basic that makes them human, but rather than finding some worthy, actual causes to champion, causes that might take effort and commitment to address, they battle bad thoughts and uncomfortable feelings. Many of them seem to think that virtue signaling tweets, putting something about punching Nazis in your profile and calling the President "Drumpf" or some variation is really courageous and on par with climbing out of a landing craft on Normandy Beach.
Theirs is a generation of Don Quixote's, tilting at the windmills of racism and sexism and homophobia and transphobia and Islamophobia and every other nonsensical type of oppression under the sun.
What is really troubling is that they will soon be running everything in the country, from businesses to the government to religious institutions. Given the very tenuous connection with reality we are seeing from people like Charlotte Alter and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, it doesn't bode well for when something actually serious happens. People who think putting #PunchNazis in their social media profile is somehow brave and effective are probably not going to fare well in a serious economic downturn or major civil unrest. When the nation is forced to make hard choices about defaulting on the debt or Social Security or whatever, posting a hackneyed hashtag isn't an actual solution.
The millennial generation has grown up in the lap of luxury but thinks they are oppressed. They were born on third base but instead of thinking they hit a triple, they feel cheated because they didn't get an automatic home-run. Charlotte Alter was roundly mocked but seems to think she is vindicated because her fellow entitled millennials came to her defense.

How Are Airports Preventing Personal Injury Claims?
Personal Injury May 15, 2019 By Jacob Maslow
Airports, especially metropolitan locations with large amounts of daily traffic, can face unique legal challenges. Travelers are much more likely to get injured at an airport than on a plane. In fact, ramp accidents alone cost airlines an estimated $10 billion annually. The Flight Safety Foundation is now urging airports to take precautions to prevent personal injury claims.
Airport Challenges
A number of factors impact the increased likelihood of injuries, both minor and catastrophic, occurring at airports. Travelers at airports are often in a hurry—causing them to become distracted and potentially missing hazards. Travelers may be trying to manage their luggage and small children and may not notice things like spilled beverages on the floors. Trips and falls also occur at airports from damaged flooring or carpeting. Additional accidents can occur due to a malfunctioning jetway or a collision with an airport shuttle. Types of injuries frequent at an airport include sprains, broken bones, amputations, back injuries, bruises, and lacerations. Severe accidents have occurred at airports resulting in traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries.
Airport Liability
Airports are found liable in personal injury claims when the lawsuit reveals negligence on the part of the personnel or management. For instance, if a passenger gets hurt in an airport's food court after falling due to a spill on the floor and management was aware of the spill and didn't act, then the injured party may have a case. Another example of a potential lawsuit is when a traveler is injured when the airport fails to repair a known faulty piece of equipment. Evidence is needed to bring a lawsuit against an airport with lawyers accessing witness reports or surveillance videos.
Strategies to Reduce Airport Lawsuits
Airports are being proactive to prevent future lawsuits. A major component of lawsuit prevention is launching employee-training programs. For instance, Ground Accident Prevention was an initiative launched in 2003 as a way to train personnel on how to stop accidents on airport ramps and taxiways. Following a strict inspection schedule is another recommendation for airports. Maintenance staff should regular check bathrooms, retail areas, baggage claims, and construction zones for potential hazards and address any issues immediately. Spills need to be cleaned up immediately with signage to warn that the area is slippery. In poor weather, the airport must remove ice and snow right away.
Injuries sustained during baggage handling have led to numerous lawsuits. Initiatives like the Revitalising Health and Safety in Air Transport have been instrumental in limiting weights of baggage to protect employees and travelers from harm.
To protect passengers and guests from injury, airport management must ensure all safety rules are followed and regular maintenance is done on all equipment. Otherwise, airlines and airports put their organizations at risk.

In-house: Standard Life adds to legal roster after Ignis acquisition
Posted on 21 July 2016 10:11am 3 August 2018 13:19pm | Matthew Field
In-house Adviser reviews
Standard Life Investments (SLI) has added two firms to its real estate panel, with Maples Teesdale and Shepherd & Wedderburn joining CMS Cameron McKenna, Herbert Smith Freehills and Addleshaw Goddard.
The Edinburgh-based company's panel will run for five years from May 2016, focusing on real estate, construction, planning and real estate litigation work.
CMS Cameron McKenna remain on the panel following the firm's merger with Scottish firm Dundas & Wilson in 2013, which originally held the spot on the legal roster.
The appointment of Maples and Shepherd & Wedderburn follows the acquisition by SLI of asset management firm Ignis in 2014 for £390m. The deal for Ignis secured SLI an extra £59bn of assets under management.
The new legal panel follows a choppy month of trading for SLI's real estate fund in the aftermath of the EU referendum. The company suspended trading on its £2.7bn property fund on 4 July, for the first time since 2008 during the financial crisis.

Standard Life recently hired Rushad Abadan as its new group general counsel from banking giant RBS in September last year. Abadan replaced David Burns as Standard Life's most senior lawyer, who held the role for only a year.
Recent panel reviews have seen Barclays finalise its global roster. In June the bank appointed a host of firms, despite cutting its panel to a third of its previous size of around 350 firms. Clifford Chance, Ashurst, Eversheds, Mayer Brown, Reed Smith, Simmons & Simmons, Hogan Lovells, Pinsent Masons, DWF and Bond Dickinson were among those appointed, while DLA Piper lost its spot.
This week, BT kicked off its formal panel review of UK legal advisers after a five month delay awaiting the result of the Brexit vote. The company's current core panel includes Bird & Bird, CMS Cameron McKenna, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, Wiggin and Sheridans.

SDG 03: Good Health and Well-Being
Schistosomiasis affects 240 million people. Here's how we can eliminate it
Cercariae Trichobilharzia szidati, the microscopic parasite that causes bilharzia (schistosomiasis)

Belén Garijo Vice-Chair of the Executive Board; Deputy Chief Executive Officer; Chief Executive Officer, Healthcare, Merck
Schistosomiasis, also known as bilharzia, is a neglected tropical disease that kills 200,000 people a year worldwide.
It is treatable and could be eliminated.
We can do so with commitment, persistence and – most importantly - cross-sector collaboration.
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) affect the lives of more than 1 billion people worldwide and represent an often-overlooked global health burden that translates into lost opportunities – and lost lives. NTDs are often called diseases of poverty because they affect those poorest populations whose living conditions are most challenging and which are characterized, for example, by lack of clean water access, malnutrition and inadequate health systems.
Schistosomiasis, also known as bilharzia, is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) as one of 20 NTDs which require particular attention. It is a water-borne disease caused by parasitic worms specifically affecting children – it can impair their growth, learning capabilities and lead to life-threatening conditions. More than 240 million people worldwide require treatment and it is estimated that around 200,000 die from complications each year.
How to keep fighting neglected tropical diseases during a pandemic
How to mitigate the economic impacts of infectious diseases
Why diagnostics are our best weapon against infectious diseases
Schistosomiasis is a treatable disease. This year, however, our best efforts to manage COVID-19 have created barriers in treating those affected by schistosomiasis – as well as other NTDs. Lockdowns have made treatment delivery in rural areas, and mass drug administration, more complex than ever before. This will inevitably continue to negatively impact communities and countries on both societal and economic levels.
Solving global health challenges
Schistosomiasis is not only treatable, it can also be eliminated. To this end, the WHO is going to launch a '2030 NTD Roadmap', providing guidance and a clear agenda for the elimination of NTDs like schistosomiasis over the next decade. This roadmap sits as the overarching umbrella, guiding a large number of committed experts, private and public institutions as well as companies like Merck to concert their efforts and achieve the challenging elimination target. As Mwelecele Ntuli Malecela, Director of the Department of Control of Neglected Tropical Diseases ate WHO, puts it: "The power behind the roadmap is togetherness". I couldn't agree more; we are stronger together, and now is the time to rally to see tangible results in the future.
Neglected tropical diseases afflict the world's poorest disproportionately
Image: WHO
Solving global challenges takes sustained commitment and perseverance – a willingness to look, listen and take stock to do things better. Three years ago, I witnessed first-hand the impact of schistosomiasis on communities in Sub-Saharan Africa. The lasting impact of this visit led me to feel personally convinced of the importance of the work that is being done and still needs to be done to tackle this disease. At the same time, it reinforced our commitment to combat and eliminate schistosomiasis, through an integrated and coordinated approach in severely affected populations and communities.
Over the years, Merck has provided 1.3 billion tablets, in partnership with the WHO, for the treatment of schistosomiasis. This translates to 520 million enabled treatments of school-aged children in Sub-Saharan countries where schistosomiasis is endemic. To ensure that all the efforts can be sustained, we continue to commit up to 250 million tablets per year for the treatment of this neglected tropical disease until elimination has been achieved. The hard, tenacious work of healthcare professionals on the ground, guided by the WHO and performed by local health authorities, has led to countless lives being saved. Together with our partners, I am proud of our sustained commitment and the tangible effect it has in the affected communities across Sub-Saharan Africa. To see progress and positive change gives me hope for a brighter future.
What is the World Economic Forum doing about epidemics?
Epidemics are a huge threat to health and the economy: the vast spread of disease can literally destroy societies.
In 2017, at our Annual Meeting, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) was launched – bringing together experts from government, business, health, academia and civil society to accelerate the development of vaccines against emerging infectious diseases and to enable access to them during outbreaks.
Davos 2019 - Press Conference: CEPI - Building a Global C...
Our world needs stronger, unified responses to major health threats. By creating alliances and coalitions like CEPI, which involve expertise, funding and other support, we are able to collectively address the most pressing global health challenges.
Is your organisation interested in working with the World Economic Forum to tackle global health issues? Find out more here.
For the elimination of schistosomiasis to become reality, we will need to implement concerted, integrated health solutions and innovations. We will continue to collaborate with strong, reliable partners to lead and implement multi-pronged programmes in the regions in which the disease is still prevalent. This strategic approach allows for more targeted and efficient treatment – and for long-term positive impact. It works like a virtuous circle that begins with the identification of disease hotspots; this enables optimised medicine distribution, which in turn reduces medicine wastage. It also includes tailored health education campaigns on schistosomiasis prevention and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) initiatives appropriate for the affected areas. In parallel, we will continue to employ our scientific expertise to pave the way for innovative breakthroughs in the field of schistosomiasis management – including diagnostics tools and a new medicine formulation for very young children. The conjunction of these measures results in targeted, successful disease reduction and subsequent elimination.
Today more than ever, it is important to keep fighting schistosomiasis and other NTDs – to leverage the strengths and knowledge of one another, to innovate, to improve access to health, and to ensure no one is left behind.

Google Announces Certification Program For Cardboard Clones
Kyle Russell	@kylebrussell/ / 5 years
Google Cardboard has been a surprise hit among early adopters, giving an intentionally cheap, approachable device that opens the door to more people having their first virtual reality experience.
Providing affordable hardware for optics and input and a software layer that ties into the tools app and game developers already use has made Android a major destination for those looking to experiment in the space. It's also inspired a wave of "competing" headsets that actually depend on the ecosystem building on top of it.
Today, Google is taking the lid off of a new certification program that will unify these disparate headsets under a single badge: "Works With Google Cardboard." By following a few guidelines and giving Google a look at your headset, Google will certify a manufacturer's headset design will work with all Cardboard software. It'll also give certified manufacturers a tool for generating headset profiles, which will be placed on the headset itself as a QR code and scanned by the user in the Cardboard app. The Cardboard app will then adjust apps built on the SDK for parameters set by the manufacturer, like focal length, inputs available, and the distance between each lens.
Less than a year after Cardboard's launch, there's already a need for software to tie the ecosystem together. Just a few weeks in we started to see Cardboard clones that riff on the original's open-source design, like the range of headsets from DODOcase and Knoxlabs. These replicate the Cardboard experience and price while introducing nicer materials and extras like capacitive input and mounts for the Leap Motion hand tracker. LG is even making a free one for those who buy its smartphones. If you're willing to spend a bit (okay, like five times) more, you start to find headsets that leverage the content available because of Cardboard, but also bring their own major features.
On that side of the spectrum, you see cases like the Wearality Sky, which hopes to provide a wider field of view that most consumer-tier headsets with amusingly large lenses. Also due out later this year: MergeVR's Goggles, which has a comfortable foam mask and an SDK that makes it easier to integrate its included motion controller. To be frank, these headsets wouldn't have a chance at decent adoption if not for the apps built for Cardboard: there simply wasn't much reason to make VR software for phones outside of very niche 3D-printed setups.
These headsets depend on Cardboard apps to be useful at all (minus "exclusive" content that most "can't talk about yet"), but because they differ so much from the original design, require a separate SDK to truly optimize for. Google's new software profile could alleviate that, in exchange for tying your product to the search giant's effort.
In addition to the new tools for manufacturers, Google is also rolling out updates to its Android and Unity SDKs that should improve the end-user experience. The new version will reduce in-app drift, where the view continues to move even when the user doesn't move her head, and also enables more natural motion detection by simulating your head and neck. Developers just starting to experiment with virtual reality can also check out Google's new design guidelines, which let you quickly catch up on best practices.
Google is rewarding the efforts of developers already publishing Cardboard-compatible apps by making them easier to discover in the Google Play Store, breaking them out into games, movies and music, and "experiences" (translation: like a game, but passive). While some startups have already started to use Cardboard and its clones to bring virtual reality apps to iOS (like Round.me, whose virtual tours aren't even available on Android yet), Google still isn't addressing how it's going to treat Cardboard apps on Apple's platform — despite supporting the cross-platform Unity game engine.
Most of Google's efforts with Cardboard have focused on simply enabling the visual experience on your phone. Now, it seems they're also looking at bringing immersive audio to mobile. Google Cardboard product manager Andrew Nartker says the company has acquired Thrive Audio, a small team from Trinity College Dublin that works on spatially engineering audio to enhance virtual reality applications. The Cardboard team is also looking at tools people might want to use when virtual reality becomes more mainstream, as Google has also acquired Tilt Brush, a VR painting application.
