Administrative and legal regulation relationships in the field of health protection due to the legislation of Ukraine
Zinoviy Stepanovich Gladun
Categories «legal health protection», «objects and subjects of health protection», «administrative and legal health protection» are reviewed in the article. The author distinguishes «protection of individual human health» and «protection of public health», claiming that they are governed by almost all branches of law, but dominant among them are administrative and civil law. The paper contains an analysis of legal and administrative health protection. Administrative and legal nature, types of administrative legal relations arising in this area are observed in the article. The aim of the paper is to investigate the principles of administrative and legal regulation of relations in the public health system. Speaking on the protection of human health, we mean
a system governed by legal rules of social relations in the field, the purpose of which is achieving the highest standards of physical and mental health, where subjects are individuals and legal entities including patients and health professionals, health institutions and public authorities. So among these relationships (organizational, financial, professional, etc.) the most important are the legal relationships that give rise to speak about health care by legislation, or legal health protection.
The objects of legal health protection can be:
– personal health of individual (natural person);
– public health (i. e. health of a certain group of people (enterprise labor collectives, institution, organization, or inhabitants of a village, town, city, district, region or the whole country).
Consequently, the objects of administrative and legal relations in the health sector are such intangible benefits as people life and health, as well as their behavior and such tangible assets as movables and immovable property, medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, medical instruments, medical documents, etc. Central position among the legal norms regulating relations in the field of public health belongs to the administrative law, which suggests administrative and legal health care. It implies
taking various measures to ensure and strengthen health due to the administrative law. Ukrainian legislation on health regulates several types of administrative jural relationships. The analysis of the relationships allows to identify their specifics and to distinguish the difference. According to the criterion they can be divided into the following jural relationships groups, that can be find:
– in the process of providing medical care and taking measures to protect public health;
– in the process of defining the administrative and legal status of legal entities receiving and providing health care;
– in the process of organizing and providing hygienic and sanitary-epidemiological welfare of the population and the implementation of public sanitary inspection;
– in the process of the state and municipal administration of providing health care and government regulation of economic activities in the health sector;
– in the very process of providing health care;
– in some areas of medical practice: therapy, surgery, psychiatry, preventive treatment, transplantation, clinical trials of drugs, etc.

The HTTP boom only benefitted the projects that developers built on top of the application layer of the network (sites like Amazon and Facebook), but blockchain technology may offer a more balanced growth for other layers.
The past two years have seen cryptocurrencies through a significant rise and crash in value, however, blockchain technology is continuing its evolution. Changes and upgrades continue to pop up, industry wide.
Currently, most applications on the web are based on HTTP protocols, which were great at creating value. In this approach, all of the value it created is held by the applications themselves.
Blockchain introduces a different approach to handling the value of a protocol. Instead of storing the value in the application directly, blockchain creates and holds the value. Thus, the protocol itself is always valued more than the application built on top of it.
The token is the most essential element of the whole blockchain economy as it combines the sum of long-term value and speculative value. In order for tokens to hold value, they need to be recognized and used outside the protocol. For example, the Bitcoin token holds value because many cryptocurrency users store their money (value) in it. Ethereum, on the other hand, holds value because it is recognized as a developer platform and numerous protocols and applications use it as a foundation.
When it comes to fat protocols, whether the foundation is Bitcoin or Ethereum makes no difference. However, when you are looking at it from an economic perspective, the difference in the type of outside use for the protocol explains the value-drop during the market crash.
While Bitcoin's external demand remains solid enough to keep the currency relatively stable, Ethereum is not doing as well. Because of the unstable market, developments and projects involving Ethereum have dropped, and this led to the serious fall in its value.
The middle layer protocol serves as the level that separates the blockchain layer protocol from the application customers are actually using. This separation will improve customer satisfaction as this approach creates a small economy of sustainable elements for each application available. As in every economy, this one too will need a currency, and the currency for every application will be the native token the blockchain protocol utilizes.
Thus the middle layer protocol will be the place where the value is stored, while the blockchain protocol will create the value.
The most important difference between the way the Internet and the blockchain are built is the structure of their protocols. The Internet stack is predominantly contained in a large HTTP protocol, and this protocol powers the most important applications on the web. The blockchain stack, however, will have several middle protocols.
This difference is necessary because it allows each application to have a specific kind of protocol and structure, which suits its' functions best. The separation of the blockchain layer and the middle layer allows for a larger and more computation-driven economy.
The Great Crypto Crash was the event that propelled the desire for innovation in the cryptocurrency world. The crash began in January 2018, when the value of bitcoin began dropping. In the month between January 6 and February 6, 2018, the premier cryptocurrency plummeted almost 65 percent. After BTC experienced such a huge drop, all other cryptocurrencies followed suit and significantly dropped in value.
However, this significant loss of value among cryptocurrencies sped up the need for improvement, as a precaution for the future. Many new cryptocurrencies emerge every day, and they are gaining popularity. At the time of press, there are more than 2,000 different cryptocurrencies, and the number is still growing.
While bitcoin took a significant hit during the crash, it is still involved in one of the most significant developments for 2019. The Lightning Network is probably the most recognizable initiative involving Bitcoin.
The Lightning Network aims to create an extremely secure and rapid transfer platform. The whole structure of the network is based on the blockchain and the way Bitcoin transactions function.
Ethereum is also expected to perform better, despite the huge fall it took. Joseph Raczynski, a Twitter influencer, predicts that ether's value, the token used in the Ethereum network, will rise to more than $1,200 dollars a coin by Q4 2019. This is based on the fact that ether is largely preferred by institutional investors. It also supports and improves upon one of the largest developer platforms for cryptocurrencies.
In order for these predictions to come true, blockchain developers will have to upgrade their applications and their currencies. Potential investors in cryptocurrency crave the reassurance that their investments will be relatively safe. This is why the introduction of the middle layer protocol is a good sign for the future of cryptocurrencies. It adds safety and productivity to the applications, which in turn makes these applications more desirable by adding value to the tokens with which they work.
So far, 2019 has not given investors positive outlooks on cryptocurrencies, however, upgrades and innovative developments like the Lightning Network, and the incorporation of the middle layer in the blockchain technology, will definitely boost confidence.


Your Instagram profile is now easily within reach directly within the Facebook app.
Facebook is rolling out a new addition to the main navigation menu in its mobile app which will include a link to the user's Instagram account. Instagram - and parent Facebook - has been relentlessly copying Snapchat's features, and it seems to be paying off when it comes to claiming new users.
The link will be positioned below the link to the user's personal profile in the Facebook page.
When the link is clicked, the Instagram app on the user's phone will be launched. This works the same way it would when launching the app from your home screen. "People on Facebook will be able to see how many of their friends are on Instagram", the spokesperson added.
According to Jumpshot per Recode, 52 percent of new users in the U.S. signed up for Snapchat, while 48 preferred Instagram. The share represents a decline in Snapchat's new enrollment dominance in the USA, according to Jumpshot data that tracks clicks on new-user confirmation emails from both platforms (it does not count those who may have confirmed new accounts via text). This, according to the report, is a sharp decline in Snapchat's new enrolment.
The stats for Instagram's global dominance is quite huge-the Facebook-owned app had 61.5 percent in August last August compared to Snapchat's 38.5 percent. On the global front, Instagram has focused more on luring more users to its service, while Snapchat's main target has been that of the USA market.

Q: How to get proper message response from json POST instead of "The remote server returned an error: (422) Unprocessable Entity" I have tried to get the same response that I get from Postman from my code.
I have tried the two methods below:
string responsedata = string.Empty;
byte[] dataBytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(jsonData);

HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
request.AutomaticDecompression = DecompressionMethods.GZip | DecompressionMethods.Deflate;
request.ContentLength = dataBytes.Length;
request.ContentType = "application/json";
request.Method = "POST";

using (Stream requestBody = request.GetRequestStream())
{
    requestBody.Write(dataBytes, 0, dataBytes.Length);
}

using (HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
using (Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream())
using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream))
{
    responsedata = reader.ReadToEnd();
}

return responsedata;

And also tried this:
HttpClient clinet = new HttpClient();

string result = "";
using (var client = new WebClient())
{
    client.Headers[HttpRequestHeader.ContentType] = "application/json";

    result = client.UploadString(url, "POST", jsonData);
}

return result;

However, both return the error : "The remote server returned an error: (422) Unprocessable Entity" when there is an mistake made in the json. It goes through well if a user does not make a mistake on a wrong form entry.
However, when I run the same "mistake" json on Postman, this is the response I get:
{
    "Error": {
        "code": "NOT_MATCHING_TAXRATE",
        "message": "Error on transaction line 1: Tax rate for HSCode: 0057.11.00 should be '0' instead of '16'."
    }
}

However, the Status in Postman still shows: 422 Unprocessable Entity - The request was well-formed but was unable to be followed due to semantic errors.
What do I need to change to capture the actual error like the above which is very useful to the end user?

- Bind it with a chain of breaths, confine it to one point.
Please click here for details regarding history and spread of children courses.
At what age could I start to teach my child to meditate?
Mr. S. N. Goenka: Before birth. Meditation should be taught when the child is growing in the womb. The child needs good vibrations while in the womb, so practise Vipassana. Every pregnant mother should practise more Vipassana because then you are helping two beings simultaneously. You are helping yourself, and you are helping the being which has not yet come out. Help them.
After that, when the child grows to five or six you can start teaching Anapana. Just be aware of the respiration for a few minutes; two, three, five minutes, enough. Don't push too much. A few minutes of awareness of respiration, and then say; "All right, play." After that, again a few minutes of respiration. So it will become like playing for the child. Later on, as he or she grows, increase the time. In this way you start giving the seed of Dhamma, and the child develops in an atmosphere of Dhamma.
What is your feeling about teaching Dhamma to children?
Mr. S. N. Goenka: The best time for that is before birth of the child. During pregnancy the mother should practice Vipassana, so that the child also receives it and is born a Dhamma child. But if you already have children, you can still share Dhamma with them. If your children are very young (below age 8), direct your mettā (the technique of Metta-Bhavana to share the vibrations of goodwill and compassion to all beings, taught on the 10th morning of the Vipassana course) to them after every sitting and at their bedtime. In this way, they also benefit from your practice of Dhamma. And when you are older, explain a little about Dhamma to them in a way that they can understand and accept. If they can understand it a little more, then teach them anapana for a few minutes. Don't pressure the children in any way. Just let them sit with you, observe their breath for a few minutes, and then go and play. The meditation will be like play to them; they will enjoy it. And the most important is that you must live a healthy Dhamma life yourself, you must set a good example for your children. In your home, you must establish a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere which will help them grow into healthy and happy people. This is the best thing you can do for your children.
Is it necessary to introduce Vipassana into education?
Mr. S. N. Goenka: Certainly. Vipassana is the practical science of living. The next generation must learn this science at a very young age, so that they can live a very healthy life, a harmonious life. If they understand pure Dhamma, the law of nature, they will live according to the law of nature. When children are taught Vipassana in the schools and colleges, as it is being done now in some cities, there are very good results.
Kindly give a few words on how students can use Vipassana.
Mr. S. N. Goenka: We have found good results from students who have started practising even the first part of Vipassana, concentration of mind. Their memory has become sharper, their ability to understand a subject has improved, the comprehending part of their mind has gotten better, and their nervousness has decreased. All these are very helpful to them in their studies. And along with those, character-building starts from the very beginning.
You have started giving training in Anapana in some schools. How will this training benefit children?
Mr. S. N. Goenka: Actually the entire teaching has only one purpose: One should live peacefully and harmoniously in accordance with the law of nature—not harming oneself or others. Now this art of living is difficult to learn in old age, so the training should start at a young age. In the schools children should learn the art of living a healthy life. Their entire life is ahead of them.
You start by teaching them how to control their minds. Along with this awareness of respiration it is explained that you have to live a moral life, so they understand, "I must not kill, I must not steal, etc. But how can I abstain from that? I must have control over my mind. And look, this helps." The object that is given is universal so a student from any caste, any community, any religion can work on this.
You also tell them that they can develop in this awareness of respiration and then they will live a good life. At further stages they can purify their minds to such an extent that they will live a perfect life, so there is a goal. In school for example, when they learn the alphabet the goal is that they will become very learned people later on. Now they have started with this base of sīla and respiration.
Do you think that by this training children can become good citizens?
Mr. S. N. Goenka: What is a good citizen? A good citizen is one who does not harm himself or herself and also does not harm other members of society. The whole teaching shows how to live a life of morality. If children start learning this in childhood, when they become adults they will naturally live healthy, good lives. This is how they will become good citizens.
How can we remove thoughts of lust while we are studying?
Mr. S. N. Goenka: Not only while studying, but all the time! Lust is lust; it is harmful. Love should be pure love. Pure love is one-way traffic; you don't expect anything in return. Dharma, Vipassana, will help this lust to turn into pure love—pure love is without a trace of passion. Pure love is full of compassion.
I am a college student and I come here for Vipassana meditation. When I go back, my teacher says, "You are too young to practice meditation." What should I do in such a situation?
Mr. S. N. Goenka: You are not at fault; your teacher is mistaken. There is a wrong concept in our country that things like meditation should be practiced in the fourth and last period of life. This is wrong. At that time the body becomes very weak, the mind becomes weak, all the sense organs become weak—you cannot practice properly. Actually, yours is the age when one should start practicing meditation because it is an art of living. Then through the rest of one's life this meditation will be so helpful. So continue to meditate whatever your teacher says. Don't worry.
Few short films have been prepared on Anapana meditation courses for children. It documents modern children's experiences with Anapana, the course process and its impact. Participants, parents and teachers talk about how Anapana helps in dealing with the pressures of school, family and everyday life. In simple language, they speak about the challenges of Anapana and the benefits: calmness, improved concentration and compassion. The aim is to show the relevance of Anapana to young audiences. Old students came forward with various professional skills to work on different aspects of films. They donated time, talent and effort. The result is a moving account of how an ancient meditation technique can work today for children and people of any age.

NEARI: Addressing Mental Health in Public Schools
In November of 2018, NEARI hosted a Mental Health Summit with hundreds of educators and members. At that event, we collectively identified the areas of need to support mental health for Rhode Island students.
A smaller committee then met and put together this final document. It is our hope that with community partners we can use these recommendations to guide mental health advocacy for our students on the state and local level. We are in the midst of a mental health crisis and our students are counting on us.
Read the statement of values compiled by the committee [link button below]. Hard copies are available to NEARI locals by request. Email request to: smarkey@neari.org
"Addressing mental health in our schools is crucial. We are making this document available because our educators and education support professionals see firsthand every day that their students need mental health supports. The people who educate and nurture Rhode Island's students want resources to help their kids. Let's continue the conversation from their recommendations and work together to make it happen." – NEARI President Larry Purtill

Albany Times Union: People of faith and unions share values
When the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. was murdered in Memphis, he was helping the city's black sanitation workers protest their abysmal pay and dangerous working conditions. The workers went on strike after two of their coworkers were crushed to death in a garbage truck compactor. Before King was assassinated, he marched with those sanitation workers. Many of them wore signs that stated: "I Am a Man."
Cesar Chavez often expressed gratitude to the priests, pastors and rabbis who stood by him as he organized farmworkers who desperately needed to negotiate their poverty level wages and endless work days under the blazing sun.
Justice for workers surely must be in the DNA of religious faith. Sacred texts of Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists and Sikhs address the topic. The Israelites, with God as their champion, rebelled against their Egyptian enslavement.

Yahoo Finance: Unions under attack as their approval ratings soar
President Trump took to Twitter on Labor Day to attack AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, slamming him for his criticism of Trump's trade deals. The AFL-CIO is the country's largest coalition of more than 50 major unions and represents some 12.5 million American workers, from pilots to teachers.
dump their unions and stop paying "exorbitant" fees." data-reactid="16″>In his tweet, Trump claimed that union workers would not only vote for him in 2020, but should dump their unions and stop paying "exorbitant" fees.
Economic Policy Institute (EPI)." data-reactid="17″>But even before Trump lashed out at Trumka, labor unions have been under attack in the United States from conservative politicians and employers alike. "Working people have been thwarted" in their attempts to unionize and collectively bargain, says a new report from the Economic Policy Institute (EPI).
"It's been a decades-long attack on working people," said AFL-CIO Secretary-Treasurer Liz Shuler. "It's been a slow decline from our peak in the 70's — it's been trailing off year after year primarily because of our broken labor laws."
"It's been a multifaceted attack because most of the people in power don't want to see working people have a slice of that power. We are the last institution left standing to bring the collective strength of working people together to fight back," she said.
Labor 411: New Report: The 10 Worst States For Workers Are 'Right To Work', While The 10 Best Are Not
If you are looking for the best states for workers, steer clear of "right to work" states, says a new study.
The Oxfam America report reveals that the ten worst states to work in America are the following, which are all "right to work:" Louisiana, Tennessee, North Dakota, Idaho, South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Virginia.
And the ten best, none of which are "right to work," are District of Columbia, California, Washington, Massachusetts, Maine, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Connecticut, and Minnesota.
Oxfam relied on three indicators for their rankings: wage standards, worker protection, and right to organize. Oxfam also notes that "good ratings on labor policies definitely relate to positive economic and health indicators. For example, states with higher scores have longer life expectancy and lower infant mortality rates."
Labor 411: Kick Off the Football Season with Ethical Brews
The wait is over. Football season, with all its intrigue, triumph and heartbreak, is back. That means parties will be thrown, jerseys will be worn and beer will be consumed in great amounts. The choices of brews available in your local supermarket or liquor store could practically stretch the length of a football field, but how many of those brews are ethically made by companies that give their employees a voice on the job? Consult the list below or go to the Labor 411 directory for a complete list of more than 250 smart choices. Here's to the return of football season, and let's all rush our way to a stronger America.

THIS WEEK IN LABOR HISTORY
Voices of Labor:
Boston police walked off the job during the strike wave that was spreading across the country. The police had affiliated with the American Federation of Labor, prompting the police commissioner to suspend 19 of them for their organizing efforts, forcing others to go on strike in solidarity. Massachusetts Governor Calvin Coolidge announced that none of the strikers would be rehired and he called in the state police to crush the strike. An entirely new police force was ultimately created from unemployed veterans of World War I. – 1919
More than 3,000 people died when suicide hijackers crashed planes into the World Trade Center towers, the Pentagon and a Pennsylvania field. Among the dead in New York were 634 union members, the majority of them New York City firefighters and police on the scene when the towers fell.- 2001
Crystal Lee Sutton, the real-life Norma Rae of the movies, died at age 68. She worked at a J.P. Stevens textile plant in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina when low pay and poor working conditions led her to become a union activist. She was fired from her job for "insubordination" after she copied an anti-union letter posted on the company bulletin board. – 2009
NEXT WEEK ON LABOR VISION:
In the first half of the show, Sen. Sandra Cano (D) Pawtucket, sits down with Thom Cahir to talk about the need to count every person in Rhode Island during the upcoming 2020 census; especially those in under-counted populations, or fear losing a congressional seat and the funding for vital programs that goes with it.
And in the second part of the show, The R.I. Building Trades join Governor Gina Raimondo and the RI Congressional Delegation to outline the expansion of operations at local ports in Providence and Quonset Point which provide good-paying jobs in the offshore wind industry.

SerenityBay ~ Indonesia Stock Market Watch, Analysis and Forecast ~: Bakrie-related stock: why not??
"Serenity is not freedom from the storm, but peace amid the storm". SerenityBay is dedicated for traders, investors and stockholders, who risk their life in stock, to have peaceful mind and soul amid the stormy market. We concentrate our analysis on the Indonesia Stock Market using Elliott Wave Principle. Never Trading Stocks Without Serenity!
According to our analysis, not all Bakrie-related stocks are bad. Some have a good management and a good business prospect though. Of course we have to extra care dealing with these kind of stocks since the majority shareholder - Bakrie n Brothers - on most of these stock - seems to have no interest to deploy a good corporate governance. This behavior will time to time gives misfortune to other investor, especially the retail investor.
We have noted that BUMI and UNSP have interesting pricing and good potential gain if there is no fraud in their financial report. Their ROE are more than 31% up to the Q3 financial report. Further, business downturn as in a recession will certainly end, hopefully in the next 2 quarters. In the early time of the recovery period, basic commodity as coal and palm oil are highly demanded. Their price will boost up. So, in this period of recession, accumulation of basic commodity stock is recommended.
ELTY is also interesting since the current price is still far from its intrinsic value according to our pricing model. With a toll road concession in hand, they have control on where and when they would start a property project along side their toll road. As we all now, a piece of property has a really high value if it has a good access to it, ultimately a toll road. Just imagine a toll gate next to every ELTY project. If this could not boost their profit, I do not know what else could.
So, always keep your risk rewarding. Play safe!!

A Tech Meetup On Wheels Goes The Extra Mile
The article was originally published in Forbes at #changetheworld
There's a meetup of techies, it's on wheels, it crosses borders, bridges cultures, it brings tangible benefit to the less fortunate — and its membership is growing.
I* founded Techbikers in 2012 to provide early stage entrepreneurs at Campus London, Google's first physical hub for startups, an opportunity to come together around an important cause: building schools and libraries in the developing world, in partnership with Room to Read, a non-profit focused on girls' education and children's literacy in Asia and Africa.
The next Techbikers Paris to London is taking place June 29, 2018
Over the past 6 years, we've built the community from 50 participants on the first ride to over 600 founders, VCs and techies who have taken part in the rides from Vienna to Budapest, Paris to London and Copenhagen to Berlin. This fall, we're launching two more rides in two of the world's most exciting startup ecosystems: Silicon Valley (Napa to San Francisco) and Startup Nation (Ein Gev, Israel to Petra, Jordan).
The Israel-Jordan ride is not trivial, not only because of the physical challenge — cycling to the Dead Sea 400 meters below sea level inevitably means a long climb afterward. But it's not trivial also from a regional perspective: while there's a formal peace between Israel and Jordan, the populations on both sides have very little contact, and visits to and from both sides aren't routine affairs. There's always tension in the region, and always an awareness of the risks, especially at or near border crossings.
It's with this in mind that this November, a group of about 50 Techbikers from Europe and Israel will meet in Tel Aviv and travel north to the Sea of Galilee for a four-day cycling adventure.
The peloton will start near Tiberias, an ancient city on the banks of the Sea of Galilee. From there it will ride south to the Dead Sea on the Jordan Valley road (approximately 80 km).
Day 2 starts at the Dead Sea and the Edom Mountains with a steep climb (approximately 88 km). We get to Petra, in Jordan, by coach and stay overnight.
After seeing the Petra antiquities, the third day consists of cycling from Dilagha to Robert's rock with steep climbs and their reward — downhill through beautiful desert scenery descending to the Arava Valley.
After a night of camping in the desert, the last day is the longest consecutive cycling — a total of 100 km to Eilat. The thought of the falafel and party at the finish line should make the last stretch particularly fun.
Techbikers aren't competing against each, it's not a race like The Giro (which is starting in Israel this year). It's a long, fun, meaningful meetup on wheels where everyone wins in their own way. Every participant is an entrepreneur, developer, venture capital investor or tech executive. They drop their laptops and get on their bikes to cycle over 300 km, to exchange ideas, expand their network and get deals done. The camaraderie forged on the road carries long after the ride is done.
Techbikers cameraderie lasts long after the ride is over. (Photo credit: Michael Hobson).
While there are a lot of startup founders on the rides, bikers from bigger companies get involved too as sponsors and participants: Google for Entrepreneurs in the valley, Deutsche Telekom, Plexal and La Fosse Associates, Decent are amongst our supporters.
But it wouldn't be Techbikers unless there was copious amounts of quantified self data and gadgetry going on. Cameras, wearables, fitness trackers, drones, connected speakers and GPS trackers are a big part of the experience. Swedish startup Mapillary has recorded remote routes near Dieppe in France.
Santander bikes (formerly called 'Boris bikes') equipped with Blaze's laser safety lights have also done routes. We've created APIs to map tweets from the group to our current location. We've had all sorts of bikes: Tandem (with a blind person in the back), Boris bikes (each weighs 23kg), a hand bike (someone who broke their ankle before the ride did 320km on a hand bike), Fixies (no gears), Mountain bikes, and Brompton folding bikes.
That Techbikers has started becoming also a hackathon on wheels is a great development. The creation of a localized, and mobile innovation ecosystem — one where participants and their networks find solutions to all kinds of challenges while they're on route — is a welcome organic outcome.
So Techbikers is inviting anyone developing cycling or fitness related technology to use the Techbikers community as beta testers for their products.
While the gadgets, sightseeing, networking, and workouts are what unites Techbikers, what really motivates them is philanthropy, and giving of themselves in some way to make the world a better place for someone less fortunate than themselves.
At a time when tech and Silicon Valley in particular are seen as having a negative impact on the world (Cambridge Analytica), we're looking to leverage the tech community as a force for good.
One of the schools Techbikers is helping rebuild with Room to Read, in Nuwakot, Nepal.
Techbikers have raised over $700,000 so far, all of which has built 10 schools and 30 libraries in Nepal, India, Vietnam, South Africa, Tanzania, Cambodia and Bangladesh. It's also provided scholarships for girls, books in local languages, and training programs for teachers. And we're just getting started. Proceeds raised for Room to Read from Techbikers Israel-Jordan will be dedicated to educational projects in the Middle East.

*Techbikers could not happen without a massive team effort powered by volunteers who work hard behind the scenes to make
the rides feel flawless. I'll take the opportunity to thank (in not
particular order) Drummond Gilbert, Michael Willmott, Kristina
Tauchmannova, Marek and Juraj Zamenick, Maja Capova, Pierre Charvet, Lisa Ellwood, Tom Kotecki, Emily Holgate, Barry Furby, Ricardo Sequerra Amram, Benjamin Ratz… and the many others that were involved in the past and contributed to this impact… Mark Jennings, Marie Steinhaler, Rich Pleeth, Ben Southworth, Abe Choi.

(Natural News) When you go to the doctor's, you're taking a gamble. Perhaps you'll be lucky enough to end up seeing someone with a gentle bedside manner who offers you unbiased advice that is legitimately helpful. It's more likely, however, that you'll be going to one of the many doctors who tries to see as many patients per hour as possible, spending all of five minutes with you before sending you on your way with a prescription for whatever drug the pharmaceutical reps are offering incentives for prescribing. If you're going to a VA doctor, however, it could be a lot worse.
That's because a recent investigation by USA Today has uncovered that the hiring process used by the VA for bringing in physicians leaves a lot to be desired – and that's putting it mildly. Although they verify licenses and check references, they have a fair amount of leeway when it comes to overlooking felony convictions, malpractice, or licensing problems. This means that questionable doctors can easily end up alone in a consultation room with a patient – and some even have counts of sexual misconduct against them.
Who else can get hired by the VA? Neurosurgeon John Henry Schneider managed to collect more than a dozen claims of malpractice against him and had reached settlements involving surgical mistakes that left his patients dead, paralyzed or maimed. In one case, he placed spinal screws badly, robbing the patient of bladder and bowel control. Another patient was left paralyzed from the waist down after poor placement of a spinal canal device. When one of his surgical patients died, his medical license was revoked by the state of Wyoming – but the VA was happy to hire him at a hospital that treats 184,000 patients in Illinois, Iowa and Missouri at a yearly salary of $385,000.


File under not-shocking-at-all news: the former location of beloved neighborhood beacon Bar Matchless (561 Driggs Avenue) is slated to become condos. Developer Bi Hang Cheng has filed permits for a six-story eight unit building to go up in place of the former live music bar. No word on whether the apartments will be rentals. Cheng paid $4.45 million for the building back in April, after Matchless fought closure (and lost the battle) in January.
Since then, the building has remained empty and the facade consumed by graffiti. The developer has not yet filed demolition permits, so the building still stands. For now.


NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (KNOP) - A woman was hurt in a two car collision in North Platte Thursday morning. The woman was taken to the hospital emergency room for injuries to her face.
The North Platte Police report the woman was driving north on Dewey in the far left lane when a car in the center lane next to her tried to turn left into her lane. The woman's car was sent careening into a tree.
Traffic was stopped in all three lanes of Dewey Street, at the E Street Intersection. Both cars had to be towed from the accident scene.

Chicano art : resistance in isolation "aquí estamos y no nos vamos"
Montoya, José, 1932-
This document is a transcript of a conference presentation given by Chicano artist and writer José Montoya. Referring to the title of the conference [Chicano Art: Resistance in Isolation "Aquí Estamos y no nos vamos" (1981)], Montoya proposes that there exists a unified Chicano consciousness, but that the issue of nationhood continues to be problematic for the Chicano community. He argues that Chicanos are a nation in every sense of the word except that they lack a sovereign territory that would allow them to be legitimately defined as such. Montoya attempts to construct an understanding of what it means to be Chicano and to define the ways in which art has been used as an organizing tool within its own community. He remarks on the negative reception of Chicano art by people outside of the community, so that he also takes issue with artists whom he sees as having abandoned the Chicano Movement to pursue a more commercially viable practice. He criticizes members of the Chicano intellectual community, arguing that most scholarly support for Chicano art has come from Europe.
José Montoya is one of the elders of Chicano art and literature and cofounder of the seminal artist collective, Royal Chicano Art Front (RCAF, initially called Rebel Chicano Art Front) in Sacramento, California. Montoya's statement was presented at the Symposium on Art and National Consciousness in Latin America, held at UCLA [University of California, Los Angeles] in November 1981. The primary focus of his presentation is a consideration of the relationship of artistic practice to sociopolitical activism within the Chicano community. The text is representative of his literary style—a masterful blend of languages (English and Spanish, including slang), and it also provides strident political commentary on the role of Chicano artists and is a good example of the strategic use of humor and satire.

Policy Impact Statement
Rental brokerage officer to manage tenancies for older renters
Private rental brokerage programs (PRBPs) work with vulnerable households to access and sustain private rental tenancies through targeted early intervention assistance (e.g. advice, information, introductions and timely support) designed to build tenancy capacity and through building links with the local private rental industry so that they can compete successfully for rental properties in a competitive market and sustain their tenancies over the longer term. The programs help lower income tenants, including older tenants, who are less able to be successful in accessing housing in the market.
PRBPs are delivered by both government and non-government agencies. They are supplied in some jurisdictions through formal programs under that title, and in other jurisdictions are an activity within agencies' broader housing support function under a variety of names.
While these programs are not specifically targeted at older tenants, they can help older tenants who may have recently left home ownership (due to divorce or domestic family violence) or have previously been in insecure housing and therefore have no track record in the private rental market.
What makes a program work?
AHURI research shows that it is essential for PRLOs to:
build trust with the real estate agents who might be able to help
build relationships based on honesty
to not recommend clients whose needs are so complex they are unlikely to succeed as a private rental tenant.
Difficulties arose for PRBP staff when the chances of establishing an ongoing relationship with any particular real estate agency were low because clients were spread across large geographic areas. Some PRBP staff saw another challenge in the high turnover among property managers.
Very few PRBPs reported working directly with private landlords due to:
difficulty reaching this group
no economies of scale (most landlords having only one or two properties)
concerns relating to sub-standard properties
problems with security and safety
no Centrepay facilities (making it harder to manage the risk of rent default and thus tenancy failure)
(sometimes) no landlord insurance, which compromised the agency's own policies and procedures.
PRBPs are found across Australia's system of housing supports, with funding provided directly by state government departments. These include the RentConnect service in Queensland, the Private Rental Brokerage Service in NSW, the Private Rental Liaison Program in South Australia and the government/community partnerships underpinning Housing Connect in Tasmania and the Housing Establishment Fund in Victoria.
For example, the Housing SA program delivers a comprehensive formalised PRBP known as the Private Rental Liaison Officer Program. Housing SA's Annual Report states that the Program has provided in the order of 1,350 to 2,000 people with information about obtaining accommodation each year for the last few years, with around 550 to 750 people assisted into the private rental market, although there is no breakdown as to the number of older tenants who have benefited.
The role of private rental brokerage in housing outcomes for vulnerable Australians
This research investigates the role of private rental brokerage in supporting housing outcomes for vulnerable households in the private rental market.
Improving CRA could help older tenants in the private rental market
Life course changes associated with older age such as widowhood, disability and frailty suggest a need for a range of rental housing options. These include a private rental sector (PRS) that can support older tenants living in the general community, as well as options such as communal self-contained living spaces that provide some level of companionship, practical support and assistance with daily living, through to facilities that combine health care, personal care and accommodation.
Head leasing for older renters
In head leasing, a housing agency (which could be a not-for-profit, for-profit or a government organisation) leases a property from a property owner and then on-leases the property to the tenant. The housing agency is responsible for making sure the landlord is paid rent at the correct time, that the property is treated with care and that leases, legalities and repairs are negotiated fairly with the landlord.

At ICD we want our partners and clients to be as knowedgeable about security as possible to help them make informed decisions on security matters. In this section we share our knowledge and insights into security technologies to help you understand the latest industry trends and practices.
2019 – As we enter ICD's 20th year providing security services in the Asia-Pacific, we speak to ICD's Director of Strategic Accounts and Services, Ricky Du, to hear his insights about the security industry in the year ahead.
Every company has visitors. So, for companies that rely on electronic access control to manage people flow and security, what is the best way to conduct visitor management in a secure and convenient manner?
Maintenance for a system with tens, hundreds or thousands of devices is difficult, time consuming and costly. In addition, keeping track of the performance of individual devices can be a laborsome or near impossible task, especially at large sites or across numerous sites in a region.
As a result, too often, when a problem occurs with a device or a system it's already too late and large amounts of information have already been lost. So it's clear that a more proactive approach to maintenance is needed, but what is the best way of going about this in a simple and effective manner?
We have a solution. At ICD, we have been working closely with a unique and innovative solutions partner which has developed software which can track the working status, or 'health' status, of a multitude of security & IT devices and systems on one easy-to-manage platform.
4K Image Capturing: the ultimate video surveillance solution?
So far this year, the security industry has seen the release of several new 4K surveillance cameras from leading security brands, marking a notable increase in 4K solutions on the market.
4k first started appearing in the security industry with the realise of several 4K cameras at last year's ICS West. However, the recent increased the hype surrounding this cutting edge technology has stirred some debate and contest in the industry as to the application, functionality and adoption of 4K.
Covering the key information and challenges surrounding 4K, this article aims to give you a overview of this technology which should help you decide if your company or site could benefit from this solution.
Are Thermal Cameras Missing from your Security Solution?
Scroll down to view our latest infographic about Security Operations Centers, aimed to give you an idea of how SOCs work and how an SOC could bring significant benefit to your organization's security management and event response.
Security is an integral part of any retail business: prevention against shrinkage, both external and internal, is essential for reducing loss and maximizing profit.
These days, it's near impossible to carry out business without using a Smartphone; the security industry is no exception. With the number of things that can be done from the tip of your finger and the palm of your hand increasing at an impressive rate, people in the 21st century are becoming accustomed to being able to do, see and communicate anything at anytime.
In security, the influence that Smartphones and tablets are having on the market and the technology being developed is very apparent. For leading security management software companies, it is vital to have the latest in security system Smartphone applications in order to stay on top.
security system more effectively and efficiency.
In a previous post, we explored access control options by looking at types of electric locks, specifically at the component which physically keeps the door locked. However, this is only half of what access control consists of. Each of these lock components need to be configured with a 'systems operation device', a mechanism which authorizes access and allows the lock on the door to be opened.
In this post, we will therefore provide an overview of the types of access control operation devices on the market and the points of consideration around them. Due to the recent and ongoing debate about using biometrics as a form of authorization, this article will include a particular focus on this form of technology.
Following on from ICD Shanghai's recent afternoon seminar themed big data in security, this article will draw on the information shared by our partners Axis Communications and Milestone to give an overview of this current trend in security.
Looking specifically at big data in video surveillance, we aim to give you understanding of why large amounts of data can be advantageous to your security systems, as well as an overview of how to go about collecting and managing this data to enhance your video surveillance systems and your overall security solution.
No matter how good your surveillance camera may be in terms of resolution or with superior features for overcoming challenging lighting scenarios, if the camera itself is subject to movement or vibrations, such as due to high winds or on being placed near moving vehicles, the images will blurry and the footage limited in terms of its use. That is unless your camera also has a high quality image stabilization feature that is able to reduce or even eliminate the effects of movement on the camera's footage.
Following on from our previous articles about wide dynamic range and de-fog functions in our series focused on improved video surveillance image quality, this post will take a look at the types of image stabilization technology on the market and how this could enhance you video surveillance footage.
As organizations grow and security devices and employability improve and expand, it can become increasingly difficult for large companies to stay on top of security both at a local and global level and to manage systems effectively and efficiently.
This white paper will take a look at different types of global security management software, as well as their employment and RIO, to help you assess whether this solution may be able to help your organization better manage its complex and widespread security systems.

Everett Shinn (November 6, 1876 – May 1, 1953) was an American painter and member of the urban realist Ashcan School. Shinn started as a newspaper illustrator in Philadelphia, demonstrating a rare facility for depicting animated movement, a skill that would, however, soon be eclipsed by photography. Here he worked with William J. Glackens, George Luks and John Sloan, who became core-members of the Ashcan School, led by Robert Henri, which defied official good taste in favour of robust images of real life. Shinn is best known for scenes of disaster or street violence, as well as theatrical subjects, regarding the theatre as a place of satisfying illusion. Shinn was the only Ashcan artist who preferred to work in pastels. He was reportedly a model for the protagonist of Theodore Dreiser's novel The "Genius". In 1897, Shinn was offered a higher paying job as an illustrator for Joseph Pulitzer's New York World. (Theodore Dreiser also worked for the World at that time.[9]) He was joined shortly after by his wife, Flossie, and by other members of the Charcoal Club. Shinn enjoyed living in the city and observing the hustle and bustle of Manhattan. His fascination with the intensity of urban life is evident in paintings like Fire on Mott Street and Fight or in his renderings of election rallies and matinee crowds. Shinn had a particular interest in scenes of drama (accidents, buildings on fire) and street violence. His preferred medium at this time when not drawing for the newspaper was pastel, the medium least associated with the grittiness of his subject matter. He is the only Ashcan artist to produce a large body of work in pastel. Shinn left no record or notes of any kind about his time in Europe, but it is generally assumed that he saw the work of Daumier, Degas, and Lautrec while in France and Walter Sickert while in England.[10] Echoes of the style of all four artists can be found in Shinn's work, especially in the affinity he shares with Degas in depictions of stages marked by unusual croppings and compositions. Some of these paintings, like Trapeze, Winter Garden, New York (1903) or Curtain Call (n.d.), view the performers from the rear of the stage and include the audience as a backdrop to the picture itself; others, like London Hippodrome (1902), assume an imaginary aerial perspective from a balcony; and others take as a vantage point the middle of the orchestra pit (e..g, the 1906 The Orchestra Pit: Old Proctor's Fifth Avenue Theater), looking up toward the stage at a sharp angle. Whether depicting ballet dancers, magicians, actors, acrobats, or vaudevillians, Shinn (who presumably spent a good deal of time at the theater himself) presents performance art as an enlivening and sensuous, if sometimes raucous, experience for both the men and women on the stage and the audience. Shinn became friendly with a number of major theater professionals in New York, including playwright Clyde Fitch, actress Julia Marlowe, and producer David Belasco. They were able to introduce him to a social elite in Manhattan that included interior designer Elsie de Wolfe and architect Stanford White. As a result, "Shinn did a number of murals for houses built by Stanford White and for many houses and apartments decorated by Elsie de Wolfe." His clients were usually interested in a Louis XVI style called "rococo revivalism."[11] The ceilings and pianos in Clyde Fitch's apartments were also decorated by Shinn, and Fitch was happy to recommend his services to other wealthy acquaintances. It was a lucrative arrangement and a somewhat incongruous one for a man who also painted dock workers and brawling barflies. Shinn's most lasting contribution in this area, recently restored, are the murals he painted for Belasco's Stuyvesant Theatre (today the Belasco Theatre), which opened in 1907 and is still a prominent Broadway playhouse.[12] About this space, one theater historian has written: "The rich walnut paneling, ornamental Tiffany lamps, and eighteen murals by Everett Shinn created a warm, comfortable setting for Belasco's standard mix of dazzling scenic effects and melodramatic hokum."[13] In February 1908, Shinn exhibited in a legendary exhibition at the Macbeth Galleries in New York that was intended as a protest against the conservative tastes and restrictive exhibition practices of the powerful National Academy of Design. The show, which also traveled to several cities from Newark to Chicago, occasioned considerable comment in the press about appropriate styles and content in art and gave the Ashcan painters more national publicity than they had previously enjoyed.[14] The exhibiting artists, known as The Eight, included five realists (Shinn, Henri, Sloan, Glackens, and Luks) and three other artists (Arthur B. Davies, Ernest Lawson, Maurice Prendergast) who painted in a less realistic, more impressionistic style. Among the paintings Shinn chose to exhibit with The Eight was The London Hippodrome (1902), his most reproduced work
