Also my RadioButtonExtension class which makes radiobuttons uncheckable and gaining feature of classic Radiobutton groups to these styled Radiobuttons:
      public class RadioButtonExtension : RadioButton
  {
    public static int WasChecked { get; set; }

    public bool? IsCheckedChanged
    {
        get
        {
            return (bool?)GetValue(IsCheckedChangedProperty);
        }
        set
        {
            SetValue(IsCheckedChangedProperty, value);
        }
    }

    // Using a DependencyProperty as the backing store for IsChanged.
   //This enables animation, styling, binding, etc...
  public static readonly DependencyProperty IsCheckedChangedProperty =
        DependencyProperty.Register("IsChanged", typeof(bool?),
          typeof(RadioButtonExtension),
      new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(false,
      FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.Journal |
      FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.BindsTwoWayByDefault,
        CheckedChanged));

     public static void CheckedChanged(DependencyObject d,
              DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
     {
       ((RadioButtonExtension)d).IsChecked = (bool)e.NewValue;
     }

     public RadioButtonExtension()
     {
        this.Click += RadioButtonExtension_Click;
        this.Checked += new RoutedEventHandler(RadioButtonExtension_Checked);
     }

     void RadioButtonExtension_Click(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)
     {
         if (WasChecked > 0 && IsCheckedChanged==true)
         {
             this.IsChecked = false;
             WasChecked = 0;

         }
         else if (WasChecked == 0 && IsCheckedChanged == true)
         {
             WasChecked = 1;
         }
     }

    void RadioButtonExtension_Checked(object sender, System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (this.IsChecked == true)
        {
            DependencyObject parent = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(this);
            DependencyObject parent2 = VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(VisualTreeHelper.GetParent(parent));
            var a = parent2.Ancestors().OfType<RadioButtonExtension>()
                .OrderBy(x => x.GroupName)
                .Where(x => x.GroupName == this.GroupName && x.Name != this.Name)
                .AsEnumerable();
            foreach (RadioButtonExtension button in a)
            {
                button.IsChecked = false;
            }
            IsCheckedChanged = true;
            WasChecked = 0;
        }
        else
        {
            IsCheckedChanged = false;
        }
    }
  }

And finally my FarKornaViewModel which contains RadioButtonHandler method.
 public sealed class FarKornaViewModel : Screen, IMainScreenTabItem
{
    private FarKontrol _farKontrol;
    public FarKornaViewModel(FarKontrol farKontrol)
    {
        _farKontrol = farKontrol;
        DisplayName = "Far Kontrol";
    }
    public void RadioButtonHandler(string groupname, string content, bool isChecked)
    {
        FarDeger.FarIsim = groupname;
        FarDeger.Secim = content;
        FarDeger.isChecked = isChecked;
        _farKontrol.SendCommand();
    }
}

MainView.xaml:
<mui:ModernWindow x:Class="IKA.Views.MainView"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

            </mui:LinkGroup.Links>

MainViewModel.cs :
    public class MainViewModel : Screen
{
    private const string WindowTitleDefault = "IKA - Control Panel";
    private string _windowTitle = WindowTitleDefault;
    public MainViewModel()
    {
    }
    public string WindowTitle
    {
        get { return _windowTitle; }
        set
        {
            _windowTitle = value;
            NotifyOfPropertyChange(() => WindowTitle);
        }
    }

EDIT 1:
I checked the radiobutton's DataContext from RadioButtonExtensions and I noticed that it seems as MainViewModel, not FarKornaViewModel but I can't figure out why.
EDIT 2:
Even I don't set a datacontext, it sets MainViewModel automatically. Something sets MainViewModel as default VM maybe, but I don't know it's because of Caliburn or Modern.UI or something else.
EDIT 3:
I found that FarKornaView runs firstly because of MenuLinkGroups in MainView so FarKornaViewModel can't run, the FarKornaView must be showed in MainView. I guess I should trigger ViewModel instead of View from links.

A: Specify cal:Action.TargetWithoutContext="..." as well as cal:Message.Attach and make sure you bind it to FarKornaViewModel. What is happening is Caliburn is using the current data context (which is the wrong view model) at the target for the attach. If MainViewModel is the data context then maybe add a property to it to expose your FarKornaViewModel then your target declaration would be cal:Action.TargetWithoutContext="{Binding FarKornaViewModel}".

A: I finally solved this problem. I created a static class called "ViewModelsContainer" :
    public static class ViewModelsContainer
{
    public static FarKornaViewModel FarKornaViewModel { get; set; }
}

And in MainViewModel's constructor, set an instance of FarKornaViewModel to FarKornaViewModel property.
 public MainViewModel(FarKornaViewModel farKornaViewModel)
        {
            ViewModelsContainer.FarKornaViewModel = farKornaViewModel;
        }

And finally in my FarKornaView.xaml.cs, I set this property as a DataContext.
public FarKornaView()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    this.DataContext = ViewModelsContainer.FarKornaViewModel;
}

Artist Bryan Belanger pictures the brain as its own ecosystem, one that thrives when healthy and one that can be in danger if it is unattended or overworked.

Q: Linking static c++ library into c library I've written some code (static library) in c++, with (i think so, C compatiblity - got 'extern C' and so on), and then i wanted to use it in my C application.
When im runing my C app, i got error:
undefined symbol: _ZTISt9exception

c++ code was compiled with gcc with : -std=c++0x -lstdc++ flags
then, on obj files i run ar
i suppose that symbol comes direct from c++ library. When im compiling my C app I of course add my C++ lib in my makefile, and compilation finishes with no error.
What might be wrong ?
thx for all help

A: You'll need to link the final executable with the C++ runtime library (-lstdc++); it has no effect when compiling the C++ objects, only linking the executable.

A: A static library is not linked, it is just a collection of object files in an archive. All files names like libxxx.a are static libraries, while files named like libyyy.so are dynamic libraries.
This means that the the external symbols in your library are never resolved until you link with it to make an executable. Then you need all the library files needed by your library as well.

How big should an HR team be?
24 Sep 2020 By Rob Gray
Widespread restructuring and redundancies are keeping people professionals in jobs for now, but have thrown up questions around the optimum employee-to-HR-ratio
For many in HR, recent months have been among the busiest of their working lives. Lockdown pushed people issues to the fore like never before, and the crisis has undoubtedly increased the standing of the function in many quarters and respect for the expertise found within.
Indeed a survey by People Management in April found the majority of HR functions had not furloughed those within their ranks. The reasons were clear: staff wellbeing issues were, and continue to be, high on the agenda, and many firms are in the midst of difficult restructuring and redundancy decisions, which call for top-notch HR support and insight.
With that in mind, a lot of HR teams will hope to remain immune from headcount cuts for the foreseeable future. But there have been some HR redundancies – predominantly in sectors ravaged by the economic downturn. And while it's not something many will have to contend with for some time, the question will eventually arise of whether newly leaner organisations will need less HR resource once redundancies have been made. Which shines fresh light on fascinating questions, pertinent long before Covid struck, around just how big an HR/L&D team should be. Is there such a thing as a 'right' size and structure? Is there anything to be said for pursuing a workforce-to-HR-staff ratio, or does it all depend on context?
It's a series of questions with few straightforward answers. Martin Tiplady, managing director of Chameleon People Solutions and former HR director, asserts there is "no real commonly accepted optimum figure" given HR functions are so varied. Nevertheless, when carrying out HR value assessments he takes the stance that 1:150 is a good standard to work back from in an effort to understand why a ratio would be more or less. "I have measured one HR function with a ratio of 1:25 – truly bonkers in my view – and another at 1:900 – equally bonkers and not really an HR function," says Tiplady. "Most settle at around the 1:100 or 1:125 level, but it depends on so many things."
Dan Caro, managing director of executive search firm Strategic Dimensions, agrees that with so many factors at play it is impossible to set a hard and fast golden ratio. Even so, many businesses have tried: "One large global business I know did a best in class benchmarking exercise a few years ago. Even with this relatively sophisticated approach, they spent hours arguing about what was appropriate for their industry. It never really scratched the itch. They got to around 1:110 at one point but it varied a lot; clearly a 'blue collar' unionised division versus an R&D lab required different kinds and levels of support."
The number of such variables affecting these calculations seemingly proliferates the more thought is given to the matter. What, for instance, should be included in the people team? Training, health and safety? Should L&D and OD sit as part of HR, within other departments or as totally separate entities? Further, some types of business – in the financial services and tech fields, for example – may have an apparently disproportionate number of HR people because they are involved in line management, freeing up traders and engineers to focus on what they need to deliver for the organisation. Other factors include corporate philosophy and whether the business is mature or fast-growing, faces complex change, or is a knowledge business or capital intensive.
Financial Ombudsman Service HRD Caroline Nugent says "even the old adage" of headcount to payroll numbers is not as simple as it might appear, as "you could have 2,000 earning the same every month with one payroll manager, whereas others might have to determine overtime, supplements etc, so need two for 1,000 people". She adds: "We are still seeing larger organisations with a typical Ulrich-type HR set-up, which will require at least a number of bespoke roles."
Cultural variations can also make a big difference. As Caro observes, while a UK business might have a 1:120 ratio, in Singapore, "where the culture is much more subservient and directive", a typical ratio might be more like 1:400.
Even this UK figure is a fair distance from the five-year findings of an XpertHR survey, which shows the median number of employees covered by an HR practitioner in the UK is 63. In the private sector the median is 56, while in the public sector it's 75. For useful context, XpertHR data also found that, over the past two years, the number of HR staff increased in 40.4 per cent of organisations, remained the same at 49.6 per cent and decreased in 10 per cent. Growing HR workload was the main driver for this trend, although one in six respondents indicated that more HR staff were required as a result of previously outsourced functions being brought back in-house.
CIPD senior stakeholder lead Katie Jacobs says the often touted ratio is 1:100. This is predicated on the assumption that organisations now outsource lots of their people services. But she too is "wary" of citing a golden ratio. "While having an idea of common ratios is useful for benchmarking, I think the more appropriate and useful question is how effective and value-adding your HR team is, whatever its size," says Jacobs. "Having a big or small team is not necessarily a reflection of how well that team is performing, although a small team could become overworked and burned out without sufficient investment and resources.
"Instead, look for measures of value-add that are evidence based and based on outcomes rather than inputs. How many people there are in the team is an input; the quality of their performance is your output."
Angela O'Connor, CEO of The HR Lounge, agrees. "Ratios also do not differentiate between entry-level HR staff who require support and development and long-established, experienced HR experts. The outcomes delivered by different levels of staff will inevitably be very different," she says. Other variables that work against a standard measure, says O'Connor, are the quality of current systems and processes, the degree of transformation required and how devolved people decisions are, together with the competence of the managers who make them.
Take logistics firm Wincanton, which has circa 220 HR/L&D team members across its 19,000 employee population. While this may sound a lot, says group HR director Sally Austin, 80 per cent of the team are field-based and shaped by customer demand; some customers prefer greater field HR support than others. HQ, meanwhile, is home to "a very lean team" for corporate HR, L&D, reward, EDI, occupational health and central HR services. "A one-size-fits-all approach to defining HRM capability wouldn't be helpful to us," explains Austin. "Instead we measure on a case-by-case basis, carefully considering the complexity of each contract, ER/IR environment and the people agenda associated with each customer strategy."
Wincanton's operational HR team size remained broadly the same during the pandemic, primarily because most customers still needed services. While the firm furloughed some L&D colleagues at the height of lockdown, all are now "back to work as we rescope our L&D priorities and drive the vital agenda forward again", with no plans to reduce HR headcount in the short or medium term.
Other HR leaders might not enjoy quite such enviable positions when it comes to the long-term value of HR being appreciated, however. So – in the absence of a magic, definitive people team-size number for their organisational context – how can they make the case for maintaining a certain level of resource and capability as times become tough over the coming months and years?
Indeed, while many employers have for now largely sustained HR headcount, the HR jobs market remains far from buoyant. Derek Jenkins, general manager for jobs board Monster UKIE, says his company's market analysis highlights a steeper than average drop in the volume of HR roles advertised during the pandemic, hitting a 12-month low in May. HR vacancies then increased during the summer, but this remains far from pre-pandemic levels. "We see under 10,000 HR jobs currently in the market – compare that to more than 25,000 in February," says Jenkins. "Searches for such roles have seen a small increase on the site, but nothing like that seen across other back-office functions, with sales and IT searches being most voluminous."
In demonstrating the ongoing critical value of HR, HCM Metrics chairman David Simmonds echoes the importance of moving from a resources and input model to one founded squarely on outcomes and effectiveness. One option in evidencing this effectiveness is the new international standard, ISO 30414 – HR reporting, which offers "robust, objective, comparative metrics across the whole HR function" that provide deep insight, he says. "Now is the time for HR to really show its true worth so that when we inevitability at some point, probably in a minimum of a year, have to downsize as a function too, there is no argument that key HR requirements can add value and profit to the bottom line and the cuts could be lower," says Nugent. "By that time we should be able to show it's not around comparing the numbers."
Hopefully, then, the undeniable value HR has demonstrated this year will put the profession in good stead in justifying its existence in the months to come – more so than defaulting to a certain elusive golden ratio. "HR has been so central during the Covid pandemic and teams have really stepped up to the plate, with the HR director often leading the organisational response to the crisis," says Jacobs.
"The scope of HR and people responsibilities has been huge: supporting en-masse home working, making workplaces Covid secure and undertaking health and safety risk assessments, managing leadership communications during turbulent times and supporting employee health and wellbeing, particularly mental health. This has been an opportunity for HR teams to prove their organisational worth. And in many cases they have done this in spades."

How big are other HR teams? (And why?)
Creditsafe
Business intelligence firm Creditsafe employs around 1,200 people in 23 offices across 13 countries. Its HRM team is 30-strong, and capacity is dictated by the projected workload regarding change/advancement versus 'business as usual', explains chief HR officer Gareth Way. This is reviewed every three months and takes into account resource that is available from within the business on a project or transient basis.
The current ratio of HRM to non-HRM staff is approximately 1:40 – although Way says he does not use the ratio as a measure to determine capacity or requirement. Throughout lockdown, the HRM team remained constant and there are no plans for that to change in the short to medium term. "The major issue for Creditsafe throughout the crisis has been the forced shift from office-based working to home working," says Way. "This issue presented the company with the challenge of continuing to offer the same focus on employee health and wellbeing that is so evident within our offices.
"To this end, the way the Creditsafe population stepped up to look out for each other – ensuring regular Zoom check-ins, organising virtual social meetings and quizzes, and generally caring about one another – took the HRM team, it could be argued, up to 1,200!"
Enterprise Rent-A-Car's vice president for HR, UK and Ireland, Leigh Lafever-Ayer, feels HR team size is a question each organisation must answer for itself: "We do everything in-house, from recruiting talent to onboarding and developing staff all through the employee life cycle. Whereas some firms will outsource many HR functions."
Currently, Enterprise has around 125 employees per HR professional in the UK for generalist and L&D functions. That hasn't changed drastically despite the business launching a new HR system and other efficiency measures last year. Early in the pandemic, Enterprise shifted many of its talent acquisition and L&D people, who were not as busy, to generalist roles: "This not only helped us meet the demands of our business partners, but helped these professionals develop new skills." But now L&D is picking back up as new ways to develop staff through technology emerge, alongside the adaptation of traditional learning experiences.
As the pandemic progressed, HR's workload has increased, particularly in employee wellbeing: "We also continued to add to our diversity and inclusion business strategy, so now is not the time for us to downsize HR teams, especially as we don't know what will happen in the next six or 12 months."

Normal to Natalie: Thanks for asking!
I am so shocked excited that so many of you are interested in taking my challenge to loose some unwanted weight. I half expected my last post to have no comments or only a comment from Amanda! You made my day! I need the accountability of knowing that you are going to ask me about my goals. Now, do we have a plan to help you? YES! I propose a new meme... Tell ALL Tuesday! You will have to write a post to tell us if you lost or gained weight, if you exercised, if you met other healthy goals that you have for yourself. What do you think? Are you still with me now that I have "upped the ante"?
Good for you! I found the first LONG TIME of the couch to 5k tough, but it really does get better. I'm almost enjoying it now. Of course I haven't been on the treadmill once this week. I'd join you meme...though I kinda already do that anyways.
I'm glad your day went well. Oh ya, I just remembered, apparently caffeine can slow metabolism, so maybe cutting the diet soda will help.
Hey Natalie, the learn to run program is excellent. However, I am with you on not enjoying running. I don't run because it gives me a headache. I like my eliptical trainer.
I like your tell all Tuesday idea. I think I might have missed it this week, but I'll try to add it in a couple of weeks after my son is gone, and with him all the temptations to eat his junk food. Ugh!

Flash mobs and blockades in support of the grassroots movement "Idle No More" have sprung up across Canada in protest against unilateral action laid out in the Conservative Government's omnibus bills passed in 2012 (Bill C-38, C-45 and the Streams and Rivers Act). The Federal Government has completely rewritten its environmental protection laws. Additionally, the laws around the lease of land on Federal Indian Reserves were changed. When it comes to treaty rights and laws that affect lands, waters and wildlife, meaningful consultation must occur between Canada and its' First Nations.
Unfortunately, no constructive discussion took place prior to these laws being tabled. Given the tenuous relationship between the Federal Government and First Nations across Canada a breakdown in communications was foreseeable. Huu-ay-aht First Nations as a government shares the same concerns as the Idle No More movement and appreciates the urgency and frustration that spur these protests. Idle No More is a movement dedicated to improving the lives of First Nations everywhere and we support those aims. However, the Huu-ay-aht First Nations does not support the blockading of roads or the disruption of local economies and feel that these actions hurt the overall perception of First Nations. Rhetoric, blockades and personal attacks solidify people in their opposing viewpoints rather than shock them into change. Instead, we voice our support for the Assembly of First Nations as an open channel to the Federal Government and our confidence in Shawn Atleo as the National Chief.
HFN's position is that there are no shortcuts to meaningful relationship-building. The HFN is a part of the Maa-nulth Final Agreement, a modern treaty between five First Nations and the governments of British Columbia and Canada negotiated over fifteen years. The Maa-nulth treaty grants the HFN ownership of land; access to and control of resources; and strong powers of self-government. We have more tools to improve the lives of our citizens now than under any kind of federal oversight arrangement. Huu-ay-aht First Nations urges all Members of Parliament, regardless of political allegiance, to push for meaningful communications with First Nations at all levels: local, regional and federal. Additionally, the HFN urge all First Nations' governments to consider long-term, strategic use of natural resources and treaty negotiations in their pursuit of change. Each party must remain faithful to their principles while being flexible where reasonable.

A number of models have been proposed by researchers, starting from time of Newton to Sommerfeld. However, for the current discussion, Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom and its modification by Sommerfeld will be worth mentioning.
Neils Bohr, proposed his atomic model in 1913 which could successfully explain the observed hydrogen and hydrogen like spectra. Followings are the postulates given by Bohr.
number, m is the mass of electron and ω is the corresponding angular velocity.
i i. Out of a large number of possible orbits the electron will exist only in those for which the angular momentum of electron is integral multiple of h/2π or h, where h is Plank's constant.
where v is the frequency of emitted or absorbed radiation, Ei and Ef are the energies of initial and final orbits.
The equation (4) states that the radii of successive orbits are proportional to n2 and have discrete values, which means that they are quantized.
As such the electron bound to nucleus can have any one of discrete set of allowed energy levels.
i. Bohr atomic model can predict only the transition frequencies, but tells nothing about the polarization and intensity of spectral lines.
ii. According to the Bohr's theory, the frequency of the spectral lines in hydrogen are well defined. However, it has been observed that many of the lines in the Balmer and other series are not single lines at all. The two components in Hα lines with separation is ~ 0.13 A have been reported. This is known as fine structure of spectral lines. The Bohr model could not explain the fine structure.
(i) In general, the path of an electron about the nucleus is ellipse. The nucleus is situated at one of the foci of the elliptical path.
(ii) In an elliptical orbit, the velocity of electron varies substantially at different points of the path, which causes relativistic variation in the mass of the moving electron.
Hence, this model is sometimes, also referred as relativistic atomic model.
(i) The sommerfeld theory could not predict the correct no. of lines in fine structure.
(ii) These theories could not explain the complex spectra of alkali metals.
(iii) The models were silent about the distribution of electrons in 'orbits around the nucleus.
(iv) Without giving the proper logic, the quantum numbers were introduced.
(v) The effect of magnetic and electric fields on spectral lines could not be explained.
In order to explain the complex spectra of atoms and their relation to the atomic structure, a new atomic model, commonly known as Vector Atom Model has been introduced.

A New Vision for Preventing Pressure Ulcers
Wearable wireless devices could help solve a common—and serious—problem
Devdip Sen, John McNeill, Yitzhak Mendelson, Raymond Dunn and Kelli Hickle | November 15, 2018 | 0 Comments
With an aging population, the incidence and prevalence of wound problems is on the rise. Bedsores (also known as pressure ulcers or decubitus ulcers) are painful, take months to heal, and, for many patients, never do, leading to other health problems. The condition has become so acute that treating bedsores is now a significant burden on the healthcare system. An estimated 2.5 million pressure ulcers are treated in U.S. hospitals each year, adding US$11 billion annually to health care costs.
Hospital-acquired pressure ulcers are among the most expensive hospital-acquired conditions, with treatment costs reaching up to US$130,000 per patient [1]. However, even while pressure ulcers are becoming a more common problem, paying for treatment is not getting easier. In 2007, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services added hospital-acquired pressure ulcers to the list of hospital-acquired conditions for which treatment costs will not be reimbursed [1]. This leads to an increasing burden of costs on hospitals and patients.
How Pressure Ulcers Form
FIGURE 1: The common condition leading to a pressure ulcer.
Figure 1 shows how pressure ulcers can form in at-risk areas of the body such as the heel, sacrum, scapula, ischium (sitting patient), or occiput (supine patient). When a sufficient fraction of a patient's weight is supported in a region with a bony prominence, the resulting localized concentration of external pressure reduces the cross-sectional area of blood vessels, restricting blood flow and limiting oxygen supply to the at-risk tissue. If this external contact pressure is maintained long enough, the lack of oxygen leads to tissue death and the formation of pressure ulcers.
While many factors influence pressure ulcer formation, the main contributing factor is local contact pressure maintained over several hours, with additional contributions related to tissue temperature and relative humidity. When contact pressure exceeds approximately 30 mmHg, it impedes capillary blood flow, leading to decreased circulation and possible reperfusion injury. When this external contact pressure is maintained for a considerable period, it leads to a pressure injury. High pressure maintained for a short period of time, as well as low pressure for a long period, can cause soft tissue injury [2].
Who Gets Pressure Sores
Pressure ulcers tend to arise as a secondary ailment when patients are bedridden for treatment of some other illness or injury. This might be in a hospital or a nursing home. Patients particularly susceptible to pressure ulcers include those who are bedridden, immobile, neurologically impaired, malnourished, critically ill, and/or suffering from debilitating disease processes [2]. These patients' sensory abilities are reduced, so they cannot feel the formation of a pressure ulcer. In a hospital setting, surgical patients who lie in a fixed position on the operating table for hours are also at risk. Studies have shown that pressure ulcers acquired in operating rooms have a more complex etiology than those in medical patients. This is due to circulatory and metabolic changes that occur with the use of anesthetic agents, leading to an increase in heat metabolism juxtaposed with the cool temperature in the operating room [3]. This occurs even in a setting involving military personnel: one Veteran's Administration polytrauma rehabilitation center studied active duty admissions from 2003 to 2006 and found that 53% of casualty admissions from Operation Iraqi Freedom and 38% overall had pressure-related injuries (pressure ulcers, scarring unrelated to their field injuries, and so forth) on admission [4].
Pain and infection are known to complicate ulcers, increasing the length of a hospital stay. The presence of pressure ulcers is a poor prognosis factor for a hospitalized patient and, in general, represents a global decline in a patient's health. The National Quality Forum currently recognizes 29 "never events"— adverse events that are unambiguous and serious but usually preventable. Any stage 3, stage 4, or unstageable pressure ulcers acquired after admission/presentation to a healthcare facility are included on this list.
For those patients who develop pressure ulcers, the consequences can be severe, including pain, depression, local infection and renal failure, infections to the bone (osteomyelitis), anemia, sepsis, gas gangrene, cardiovascular events, and even death. Unfortunately, health workers often cannot do the repositioning necessary to prevent pressure sores because of poor work environments, poor staffing levels, and lack of time.
The Limits of Current Preventable Measures for Pressure Ulcers
Prevention and management of pressure ulcers involve patient repositioning and pressure redistribution devices. The most commonly employed method of pressure ulcer prevention is pressure off-loading. This is usually achieved by caregivers physically turning bedbound patients every 2 hours. Some automated devices such as specialized beds and wheelchair cushions automate the offloading task. Turning patients regularly is a labor-intensive and time-consuming process. It places the caregivers at risk for workplace injuries and does not prevent all pressure ulcer incidents, even when strictly enforced.
Frequent repositioning of a bed-ridden patient may not be advisable if it results in reloading the same site too frequently [5]. In outpatient settings, wheelchair cushions are designed to off-load pressure from the ischial tuberosities and sacrum, but, unfortunately, they do not address other body parts. Certain devices also employ motion sensors that alert caregivers when a patient has not moved for a period of time. However, during transport, specialized beds are not practical, and motion monitoring may be entirely confounded by the movement of the transport vehicle. Sensors have also been used to map pressures on the bedding surface. This technology is not practical during transport, and the measured contact pressure is localized to a coordinate system on the bearing surface, not on the patient. Despite extensive work, there is no compact, affordable solution to preventing pressure ulcers in transport, hospitals, or home setting.
Our Vision for Treating Pressure Sores
Our long-term vision is to approach pressure ulcer prevention in an entirely different way: to develop a wireless, autonomously site-specific powered sensor system that would alert medical personnel to a potentially harmful level of contact pressure that suggests the possibility of a pressure ulcer. One or more sensor patches, placed on sites known to be at-risk areas on the patient's skin, would monitor local contact pressure, temperature, relative humidity, and motion, communicating these measured parameters to a base station (or smartphone). Over time, machine-learning algorithms specific to various settings (e.g., aeromedical evacuation, hospitals, home care, and so forth) would provide an alert for immediate, direct intervention to prevent the formation of pressure ulcers. Our plan would improve patient care while easing the workload of caregivers. Use in operating rooms will also be beneficial to patients. During longer surgical procedures, it is inconvenient to reposition patients regularly. However, if an adequate warning is issued, it can be feasible for surgeons to reposition patients on an as-needed basis.
FIGURE 2: The proposed pressure ulcer risk alert system.
The desired attributes of our proposed approach are as follows:
the measurement of contact pressure localized to at-risk areas only
a device that could work independently of caregiver or patient interpretation
a patient-specific algorithm
a device that could work for wheelchair-bound patients as well as those in bed
Our current implementation [6] includes a rectangular sensor patch consisting of a force sensor being used to measure pressure, a temperature and relative humidity sensor, and control circuitry capable of wireless communication via Bluetooth Low Energy. A polymer battery powers the system. Multiple patches can be configured to communicate with a single base station. The sensor patch has been designed for use in an animal trial. Although our long-term approach is to have the sensor patch in a circular shape with a diameter of 3.5 cm and a height profile of 1 mm, as seen in Figure 2, we chose a rectangular shape for our current implementation, as seen in Figure 3, to properly fit the dorsal sides of the Sprague-Dawley rats.
FIGURE 3: The printed circuit board implementation.
Our Experiment
Steel discs were surgically implanted under the latissimus dorsi muscles of rats, as seen in Figure 4. Ten days after the operation, external pressure was applied to the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and musculature overlying the implant using magnets of varying strengths (30–150 mmHg). The sensor was placed between the skin and the magnet to collect data regarding pressure and time (1–8 h). Three days after pressure application, the animals were euthanized following the University of Massachusetts Medical School–Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee policy on humane euthanasia/recommended practices for rodent euthanasia. After euthanasia, the area of injury was graded clinically and histologically.
FIGURE 4: A schematic of magnetic disk placement intraoperatively.
The actual pressures measured were routinely higher than the intended pressure. All rats who had the magnet application for more than 2 h had clinical evidence of pressure injury, and these were confirmed by histological analysis. At intended pressures of 120–150 mmHg, even for brief periods, there was injury to the muscular layer without corresponding epidermal or dermal injury.
Implementing machine-learning algorithms would enable drastic improvement in the prevention of pressure ulcers, more independence for mobile at-risk patients, and easing of caregivers' workloads. The autonomously powered sensor system would alert a patient or caregiver to a potentially harmful level of contact pressure at a specific location that could produce a pressure ulcer. Ultimately, adoption of this technology would have tremendous impact for alleviating patient suffering and reducing health care costs. The high frequency of pressure ulcer occurrence, their adverse consequences for the patient and family members, and the massive costs involved in treatment justify enormous efforts to reduce the problem. Demographic trends will accelerate this demand as people live longer and have lower mobility later in life.

Abstract. Earth's land surface is characterized by tremendous natural heterogeneity and human-engineered modifications, both of which are challenging to represent in land surface models. Satellite remote sensing is often the most practical and effective method to observe the land surface over large geographical areas. Agricultural irrigation is an important human-induced modification to natural land surface processes, as it is pervasive across the world and because of its significant influence on the regional and global water budgets. In this article, irrigation is used as an example of a human-engineered, often unmodeled land surface process, and the utility of satellite soil moisture retrievals over irrigated areas in the continental US is examined. Such retrievals are based on passive or active microwave observations from the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer for the Earth Observing System (AMSR-E), the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer 2 (AMSR2), the Soil Moisture Ocean Salinity (SMOS) mission, WindSat and the Advanced Scatterometer (ASCAT). The analysis suggests that the skill of these retrievals for representing irrigation effects is mixed, with ASCAT-based products somewhat more skillful than SMOS and AMSR2 products. The article then examines the suitability of typical bias correction strategies in current land data assimilation systems when unmodeled processes dominate the bias between the model and the observations. Using a suite of synthetic experiments that includes bias correction strategies such as quantile mapping and trained forward modeling, it is demonstrated that the bias correction practices lead to the exclusion of the signals from unmodeled processes, if these processes are the major source of the biases. It is further shown that new methods are needed to preserve the observational information about unmodeled processes during data assimilation.

Get in your car first thing on a freezing morning and you'll notice it steams up almost instantly. This is because moisture from your breath condenses on the cold glass. But it's easy to get rid of this using your car's ventilation system. Here's how.
First: turn the fan on full. Ensure the air flow is pointed at the windows and turn the heating up. Most importantly make sure the air-conditioning is turned on. This will dry the air. Turn the recirculation function off. That ensures dry air from outside is drawn in rather than simply pushing the moist air inside around. Opening your windows slightly will also help to disperse the moisture. Finally, be patient. It'll take a couple of minutes but driving with just little portholes to peer out of (below) is against the law – not to mention incredibly dangerous.
You can't get away from clearing ice or sometimes even snow from your screen. But with this hack, getting busy with a scraper could be a thing of the past. It's quite simple: when you leave your car at night, turn it off while the windscreen wipers are on. If you're lucky, rather than parking themselves, they'll stop across the screen. You can then slide an old towel beneath them.
In the morning, the towel will have ice on it but your screen should be ice free. Don't forget: when the towel thaws it will probably become damp so it's worth having a something waterproof you can store it in if you don't have anywhere to leave it at home.
When it's really cold, ice will form on your door mirrors. For that reason, they're heated on many modern motors. If you don't know how to work yours, it's worth checking the user manual.
If your car doesn't have heated mirrors, you can prevent yours icing up with a simple plastic bag. It's a great way of reusing old bags and of course you can keep on using them. Just tie them up so they don't blow away. They'll save you that little bit of extra aggravation that none of us needs first thing in the morning.
There's a hack doing the rounds that says park facing east. The idea is the rising sun will melt the ice on your screen. I don't know about you, but in the winter I often leave the house before the sun has come up. And that's assuming it's not hidden behind a cloud all day! I think there's a better hack than that.
Park next to a wall or building. The side of the car nearest to whatever you've parked by will stay frost free. And if you're lucky, the windscreen and/or rear window won't get iced up either. Much better than relying on something as unreliable as winter sun.
It rarely gets so cold in the UK that car doors freeze shut. But it can happen, particularly if you park outside. It's so easy to stop this happening. Simply get a cloth and put some oil on it. This can be the vegetable or olive oil you use for cooking. Then wipe it around the rubber door seal. Don't put so much on that you get covered with it every time you go near the car. A wipe should be enough to lubricate the seal. Hey presto, no more sticking doors.
Oil on the rubber door seals? Much better to use silicone spray.
Here, in Bournemouth but two miles from the seafront, I regularly have ice on my car after a frosty night. I always back into my short driveway – to drive out forwards onto the road (see the Highway Code for not reversing out into the road). This leaves the rear window of my VW Fox ice free because it is only a couple of feet from the house's front wall. But the windscreen will have a thick layer of ice on it. I have used the towel method and it works, although the wipers and de-icer are needed to clear the glass completely. I use de-icer and a scraper on the side windows and mirrors.
The other problem after frosty nights is a thick layer of condensation (often frozen) on the inside of the windscreen. What suggestions for stopping that, please? I do not want to leave a door window down an inch, even if that would prevent it.
Another trick for when parking on a short drive immediately in front of a house is to place a line of bricks or pavers from the wall of the house long enough so that the rear tyres hit the first reached brick or paver before the rear bumper of the car would touch the wall.
i remember about 18-20 years ago driving our Motorhome from Austria to Hamburg northern Germany on Motorways covered in Packed Snow and Ice, we managed quite comfortably the journey on pulling into services to fill up with Diesel cars entering were having to break out of ice coated cars, as their doors were frozen closed… Very Cold minus 14-20c interesting i thought.
we were able to drive at 40mph quite safely without any undue problems some 600 miles without any problems on motorways or even in the City of Hamburg cars were being driven sensibly.


There have been several instances with all of us of waking up in the middle of sleep, specially during night. This happens with almost all of us. And after waking up we find it hard to go to sleep again. No matter how hard we try, we find it next to impossible to sleep. But it doesn't mean that we can not sleep again. How to sleep again after waking up will be the discussion of this blog.
Drinking liquids before Sleeping: It is recommended to have dinner 2 hours prior to sleep. Those 2 hours will take care of any washroom need. Because mostly we wake up with the need of going to washroom. To avoid waking up, avoid consumption of liquid before sleep. Also consume light dinner as it will keep your stomach light and lightness helps in sound sleep.
Stressful Sleep: The thoughts we carry to sleep helps in the particular sleep pattern for the night. Happy & positive thoughts help in having a good sleep whereas negative & stressful thoughts will cause a disturbed sleep pattern. Stress happens because we worry for the future as we do not plan our next day. Start preparing schedule for next day before going to sleep. It will help you in becoming more disciplined and will help you get sound sleep without interference.
When you are facing disturbed sleep then you can do one simple activity to make you fall asleep again within seconds. Here you do not have to think about going to sleep. You just need to pretend that you are sleeping. Because when you fake it, you make it. Keep your eyes closed and feel your breaths. No matter how active you feel just keep your eyes closed.
Follow this routine whenever you awake from your sleep. This will allow you to have better command over your sleep and will also help in good control over your thoughts.
Hypnosis also helps one to get good sleep. It helps in strengthening the thought process which eventually help in thinking positively specially towards sleep.

Not pretty but perfect: Lemon polenta cake
It all started a few weeks ago at the farmers' market. There was a new stall there. It had no sign, no name. Just two ladies doing a roaring business at one large table groaning with cakes. Beetroot cake, coffee and walnut cake, chocolate cake, plum cake, cupcakes – I could go on.
The cake that particularly caught my eye, though, was one of the simplest. It was a plain lemon polenta cake with a drizzle icing (for all you non-Brits out there, polenta is not the creamy Italian cornmeal dish, but rather what Brits call cornmeal in its raw form). The cake instantly reminded me of something very similar that I ate one afternoon at Books for Cooks a couple of months back and thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed. Out of nowhere, a kind of instant, freakish obsession gripped me – I was going to make my own version of this cake and I was going to perfect it, dammit!
I really have no idea where this determination came from. I do not have the tested 'til perfect patience of America's Test Kitchen; I don't tend to undertake side by side by side comparisons of three different recipes in one afternoon, as Julia Child recounts doing in her memoir I'm reading. But I had taken this cake to heart.
This type of cake, made with polenta, ground almonds and lemons or oranges, is quite popular in England. It's actually a traditional Italian recipe (the ladies at the River Cafe do a well-known version) but you see it a lot in this country. So to me, it's a quintessentially English cake, subtle and sophisticated, to have with a cuppa and a good book in the afternoon.
Citrus polenta cake
I wanted to get it just right. I read various recipes, studied chefs' and bloggers' interpretations, mixed and matched ingredients, and in the end I made three attempts at this cake in three weeks, with my trusty band of coworkers acting as judge and jury. Except the jury doesn't always agree. Specimen 1 was very moist but too oily, we all concurred. Jo said the cake also lacked lemon punch. Specimen 2 was slightly too dry, but Jo said the flavours were perfect. Except then Michaela piped up that the icing was too lemony, too intense. And someone else liked the drier texture. Hmm, you clearly can't please all the people all the time. So for Specimen 3, I made some final adjustments to the texture according to my own desires, and went with the flavour levels that I knew I would like best… And I called it a resounding triumph. Moist, dense, crumbly, with three different hits of lemon and orange, from the cake, the syrup and the icing, I LOVE this cake.
I know it isn't the most visually appealing thing I've ever featured on this blog. (First I ran out of icing sugar, so I couldn't make quite as much as icing as I'd normally like to give opaque, white coverage. Then I iced the cake in its tin and during the night the icing dripped down the sides.) Hey, it's not perfect. But appearances aside, to me this cake is practically perfect.
Citrus, polenta and almond drizzle cake
zest and juice of 2 lemons and 1 small orange
150 g cornmeal (polenta)
Syrup:
zest and juice of 1 lemon and 1 orange
200 g icing sugar, sifted
enough lemon juice, orange, juice or water to make a thick icing
To make the cake: Preheat the oven to 300F/150C. Grease an 8-inch round cake tin, either springform or with a removable bottom, and line the bottom with a parchment paper round. Grease the parchment. Note: You can also use a 9-inch tin; adjust the baking time accordingly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the polenta, salt and baking powder. Set aside.
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Fold in the ground almonds. With the mixer on low, beat in the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition. Beat in the vanilla, zests and juices.
Now working by hand, add the polenta mixture to the batter and fold it in lightly; don't overwork the batter.
Scrape the batter into the prepared tin. Bake in the centre of the oven for between 1 hour 15 minutes and 1 hour 30 minutes, until the top springs back slightly when pressed and a knife inserted in the cake comes out clean with a slightly oily residue on it. If the top of the cake is becoming too brown at any point, cover it with foil or parchment while it continues to bake. Cool to lukewarm in its tin before unmoulding.
To make the syrup: Once the cake is out of the oven, place a saucepan over medium high heat and add the sugar, juice and zest. Bring to a boil, turn down to a vigorous simmer and cook until the mixture has reduced to a thick syrup. Poke the still-warm cake all over with the tines of a fork and, using a pastry brush, brush the syrup all over the top of the cake.
To make the icing: Once the cake is completely cool, in a small bowl mix together the icing sugar with enough juice or water to make a thick, spreadable icing (lemon juice will give you a tart icing, water will give a sweet icing, and orange juice will give something in the middle). Start with a tablespoon of liquid and incorporate all the liquid before adding more – you don't want it to get too runny. Pour the icing on top of the cake and, with a knife, spread to the edges of the cake.


Took this last night at dusk, near MIT in Cambridge.
Last year, I qualified for Boston with a 3:35:05 marathon. I'll be running the Boston Marathon on Monday. Here are a few things I'm thinking about as the race approaches.
I've run almost four times as far before. A marathon isn't a super long race. It's comparable to most solo long-runs I do on the weekends.
Qualifying for Boston is actually really hard. Sometimes I wonder how it was possible that I ran that fast, and I wonder if I'll ever run that fast again. 8:12 miles for 26.2 miles is pretty impressive, even though it doesn't feel like it.
Also, my parents think this is pretty cool; they flew out from California to cheer me on.
I'm not planning to run a PR.
I'm injured. The knee is feeling a lot better, but it's still not at 100%.
Due to the unusually warm weather forecast for the Boston area on Monday, the B.A.A. will defer the entry of those official entrants to the 2013 Boston Marathon for participants who decide not to race.
This will be the only time I run this marathon.
I like races where you show up, get out of your car, then start running. When you finish, you get back in your car and drive away. Easy, fast, low-stress, and no room for error.
This particular marathon, logistically, is very complex. Packet pickup is several days before the race. Runners have to ride a bus to the start line – a full three hours before the race actually begins – then wait around in corrals until their gun. The registration process was equally complex.
Track me if you want to, but don't expect blazing speeds.
My bib number is 15030. You can track me online, of via text messaging. Tracking information here.
Summary: this will be a fun, slow race.
The entire city of Boston is pretty excited about this race, and I hear that most of the course has people cheering on the sidelines. Clearly I'm not going to be running this very quickly, so I plan to take my time and fully enjoy the experience of running the world's oldest annual marathon.

TOPEKA, Kan. (THE DRIVE) Despite struggling at home Kansas was able to hold out and beat TCU 71-64. Foul trouble limited Azubuike to play just seven minutes in the first half, but 18 in the second picking up 11 rebounds. Mitch Lightfoot replaced Vick as the starter also.
Kansas however was not able to pick up a win against Baylor, losing 80-64. Manu Lecomte scored eight straight points for Baylor after No. 10 Kansas had pulled within a basket. With this loss KU is now in second place in the Big 12, with Texas Tech being one game ahead of them.
Kansas State picked up one win this week against Texas to win 67-64. The end of the game was a little too close for comfort, trailing until a 3 pointer by Cartier Diarra, then followed it with a steal and a layup to make it 57-54.
The Wildcats did not see the same results against Texas Tech. Keenan Evans scored 19 points leading the win against K-State 66-47.
At halftime both teams had 27 points and K-State came out strong, but could not finish allowing Tech to get a huge lead. In the second half, Kansas State had more turnovers (11) than made baskets (5) and ended up shooting just 29 percent. Dean Wade had the most points at only 13. K-State is in the middle of the pack for the Big 12 and still on the bubble for the tournament.
Kansas gets ranked 6 overall which is a number 2 seed while Virginia is the top overall seed in preliminary NCAA Tournament rankings. Villanova, Xavier and Purdue earned the other top seeds.
