Predictive Analytics: How Big Data Will Improve Outcomes and Efficiencies in Diagnosing and Treating Patients
Chase Spurlock, PhD, and Michael Fleming, MD
Chase Spurlock, PhD
When making a diagnosis, doctors have traditionally (and logically) relied on personal data directly from patients—their lab tests, examinations, and medical histories. But what if insights from population data were able to help doctors predict a potential diagnosis months or even years earlier and be used to monitor these patients after a diagnosis is made?
A growing body of research in the exciting field of predictive and prescriptive analytics suggests that if you input large datasets—drawn from millions of healthcare claims or electronic medical records, for example—sophisticated algorithms can identify patterns that deliver meaningful diagnostic information for patients with a wide range of conditions. These technologies can be used to uncover hidden risks in a population by detecting disease, correcting misdiagnosis, and monitoring disease progression. When patients are diagnosed earlier—and correctly—they will be able to start the right treatment plan sooner.
Michael Fleming, MD
The power of this approach was demonstrated in a series of pilot studies by IQuity, a data analytics company, using proprietary algorithms to analyze healthcare claims for 20 million people in New York. Focusing on multiple sclerosis (MS), the trial included analysis of 4 billion data points, identifying patients who'd been correctly diagnosed with MS as well as those who'd been misdiagnosed. With high levels of accuracy, the approach was able to predict MS at least 8 months before it would typically be diagnosed using traditional methods.
While these pilot studies to date have centered on analyzing claims and social determinants data, predictive analytics can be enriched using a variety of resources. Real-time patient information can be integrated to fuel predictions, including data from Fitbits and mobile apps that monitor weight, blood pressure, and sleep patterns. When this level of personal data is layered on top of healthcare claims, electronic medical records, or other data representative of geographic, socioeconomic, and lifestyle factors, machine learning tools can offer doctors a more comprehensive view of a patient's health outlook than has ever been seen before.
Detection and Monitoring
Early diagnosis can lead to better patient outcomes and deliver substantial cost savings. Healthcare spending tends to accelerate prior to a definitive disease diagnosis, and it also peaks in patients who experience adverse events or exacerbations of disease (relapses or flares), particularly in the case of inflammatory diseases such as MS. Predictive platforms analyze multiple, longitudinal datasets from hundreds (or potentially thousands) of patients to build tools that find patterns in these patient journeys to facilitate early diagnosis and predict negative outcomes. Use of these analytic approaches can also help monitor diagnosed patients, assessing how their disease status progresses in real time, whether the condition is getting better or worse and how the patient is responding to a particular treatment. Giving doctors these alerts allows for early intervention, which can make a real difference in helping a patient avoid complications or long-term physical damage and, in some cases, will extend life.
Imagine the benefit of being able to anticipate a patient having a serious adverse drug event, allowing time to prepare for side effects and to avoid unnecessary hospitalization costs. Additionally, an analytics strategy can profile patients for possible reduced drug adherence, providing doctors and other caregivers with the opportunity to immediately engage with patients and, if necessary, revise their treatment plans.
Data Integrity and Ethics
Data integrity is essential to every aspect of healthcare analytics to ensure the credibility of the field and to lend credence to the compelling insights these technologies are poised to deliver. This involves technical considerations to ensure accuracy and completeness of the raw data but also extends to a much broader corporate responsibility to individual patients whose data serves as the basis for the creation of new analytics tools.
Data science teams stand at the intersection of innovation and ethical-use cases. The types of data that are now available not only come from clinical interactions but from other sources as well. Data can have many different origins, making data ownership for patients and consumers difficult to manage, let alone understand. Even though many of the datasets that are used are presented in aggregate or de-identified form, there remains a growing call for more transparency to understand how data is being collected and shared and for what purpose it's being used. A recent example of a political outcome of these discussions was the passage of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) this past May, which sought to strengthen individual awareness of how vendors are collecting and storing information for future use.
We find that most patients with established disease are willing to share their information and experiences so that their journey can benefit future patients. While the topics of privacy and data security are important, it's vital that we temper future legislation to avoid stifling innovation and hindering the translation of new analytical tools into clinical practice.
As predictive analytics becomes increasingly available for real-world applications, medical professionals diagnosing and treating patients will encounter multiple data elements apart from classical clinical data. When new data is woven into the patient narrative, this information needs to be crafted into a framework that doctors will understand and recognize as credible. It's important that an alert not only state that a patient likely has a certain disease, but also includes a detailed rationale as to why the analysis is making a specific prediction.
The onus is certainly on data analytics providers to offer proven, evidence-based solutions worthy of doctors' consideration, and when those solutions are forthcoming, we hope medical professionals will greet them with an open mind. Doctors remain a patient's most important partner in medical diagnosis and ongoing care, using their training, experience, and instincts to weigh all available data on a patient's condition. Predictive analytics, however, has the potential to become a powerful new tool in giving doctors more quality data to work with, helping them better achieve the "Triple Aim" of improving the experience of patient care, improving the health of populations, and reducing the cost of care.

A few weeks ago, I mentioned Gabe and I were going to participate in Run For Your Lives 5K, a first-of-its-kind obstacle course adventure run series where runners are chased by zombies! The zombies will try to end your life by grabbing flags from the runners' flag belts. Similar to flag football, runners must reach the finish line with at least one flag to claim survival. At the end of the race, runners and spectators (who get in for free) celebrate survival or their zombie infection at the Apocalypse Party with music spun by the RFYL traveling DJ, entertainment, dance-offs, beer, food, and festivities!
I have two free runner tickets to giveaway to any of the Run For Your Lives races throughout the US in 2013. To enter, tell me why you want two free tickets to Run For Your Lives 5K in a comment below This part is mandatory and you can verify through the rafflecopter widget at the bottom of this post.
I have two Run For Your Lives shirts to giveaway!
This run also works with charitable partner KennedyKrieger. A portion of ticket sales goes to raising awareness and funds supporting research and care for kids battling brain injuries, so if you don't want to run for your life, you can Run For THEIR Lives. Check out their upcoming race locations, and if you want to register, you can use my special discount code ZPTD2 for 15% off any of the RFYL in the US.

I also have a FRS Healthy Energy giveaway going on right now. Click here to enter that one!
I'm kinda scared of Zombies..,..I think I I would run faster for sure!!! I'd love the chance for a PR from being scared!!! Ha!
I want two free tickets because I'm a new runner (first 5k this year) and while I normally use beer or food as motivation, zombies will probably make me run faster!!
My son is 'dying' to run this race. I'd love to run it with him!
It sounds like an overall fun run I have been looking at it for while but wasn't sure I would have the funds to participate!
I've lost 40 lbs since switching to an overall healthier lifestyle last summer, and I'd love to be able to complete an obstacle 5k. I think Run for Your Lives would be an awesome motivation!
This is a really fun race! I did it in So Cal last October and made it through as a survivor. I would love tickets to this year's because they changed the medals and made 2 different ones. One for survived and one for infected. We all got the same last year. I am loving the way the infected medal looks and might just let those zombies have a little bite!
This race is the reason I decided to start running. I had hoped to do to do the one earlier this year outside of Indy but had a family engagement. I had intended on running the Illinois race in September but after my wife and I found out we are expecting our first, we started budgeting funds to prepare for our baby and started making sacrifices which included my race budget. I had to chose between RFYL and my first half. I would love to not have to wait for next years RFYL schedule.
My husband and I were survivors in the 2011 and 2012 Run For Your Lives Maryland events but just haven't had the extra funds to register for 2013. We were really looking forwad to it because it's at a new location this year. We LOVE this race and the obstacles are insane! The zombies are the BEST PART!!!
I want to participate because I set a goal this year to do 12 - 5k's and this would help me actually get past this goal. I'm on about 19 now, plus the Illinois race is really close to my house.

Q: WPF client sided and Java server sided? I would like to ask for some ideas regarding a scenario like this:
1) we need to build up a real time application that runs on a client. Some sort of stock trading functionality, updates pushed to few clients in different geo locations every 25 secs.
2) the data is collected and pre-processed on the server side (Glassfish/Java)
We have been discussing options and narrowed down 2 options:
1) WPF on the client
2) Swing (we previously evaluated JavaFX)
What are your thoughts on:
1) easiness/speed of development of an "medium" complex client application in Swing vs. WPF
2) communication between WPF and an app server. If we would have a monolithic solution (Java), there are more options for hight throughput data exchange like Java Messaging, without going through some .NET to Java bridges or sending data across via XML, webservices etc.
Any thoughts welcome.
Thank you

A: Swing vs WPF
I've done extensive work using both Swing and WPF.  Swing is at least a whole generation behind WPF.  There really is no comparison.  WPF's data binding and templates make all the difference.  You will save a lot of time and money, and end up with a much better user experience if you use WPF.
NET Framework connection to Java back end
Regarding using NET Framework on the front end against a Java back end:  It is extremely easy to do and will generally perform as well as a pure Java solution.  The exception would be if your main bottleneck is network bandwidth and you are serializing complex trees of objects.
As itowlson noted, WCF doesn't talk Java's proprietary binary protocols, but there are still a lot of choices that can be used to talk to Java:  XML, JSON, text (REST).  I generally recommend good old-fashioned XML Web Services.  It takes about two minutes to set up WCF to talk to a simple Java web service.
XML Serialization typically only adds 5-10% to network bandwidth over binary, so unless you have a lot of complex data and your pipe is very tight, I would just use WPF/WCF talking directly to Java on the back end.  If you do have lots of data and a tiny pipe, you still want the WPF front end because it is so much better than Swing, but you might consider using the WCF binary formatter over the wire and doing the conversion on the server.

A: Regarding communication between WPF and an application server, you can use all of .NET's messaging facilities, specifically including Windows Communication Foundation.  However, WCF does not have out-of-the-box support for binary messaging to Java (see Does WCF play well with Java? for discouraging info) so you would need to use XML, a custom transport that could be supported on both ends (such as MQ) or a bridge.
(Can't help with the comparison of WPF vs. Swing, as I have no experience of Swing.)

Protecting our Key Asset: People
Dominion engages in business relations with people and organisations that form part of its social ecosystem in a seamless and transparent fashion. It strives to become a transforming agent in those communities it operates in, making progress and creating social welfare by means of its activities by creating jobs, hiring suppliers, building relationships with customers, paying taxes, and improving the quality of life of those people affected by its business operations and by projects which directly affect the communities. Dominion collaborates with the communities based on its community development activities, the main emphasis of which being education.
The management of human resources takes on particular significance in a Global Company such as Dominion. Accordingly, Dominion sees its professionals as a strategic asset and it has designed and implemented a human resources management framework that promotes corporate efficiency and purposes by conveying the corporate culture, values and policies as they appear in the Fundamental Principles of Human Rights.
In line with all this, the management of human resources is governed by respect for diversity, equal opportunities and non-discrimination, promotion of decent, quality employment, rejection of child and forced labour, respect for freedom of association and collective bargaining, and by the alignment of professional interests with the Company's strategic objectives.
Our Personnel 2019
Total Workforce
We manage a diverse and ever-expanding team.
+23*Countries
*Direct workforce
+73 Nationalities
50% increase in gender diversity in senior positions
+22%of the workforce under the age of 30
Committed to diversity
Dominion considers diversity as a cornerstone for Human Resources. This diversity and internationalisation creates a competitive advantage over other companies in the sector, whereby it can appeal to and retain the best professionals.
Nationality diversity
Dominion has direct staff in 23 countries, with representation across 73 nations, all of which contributes with added value in a multi-cultural environment.
Dominion's commitment to promoting women in managerial positions, which increased by 50% in 2019. This is a noteworthy achievement in light of the masculinisation associated with the sectors that Dominion works in and the gender bias in those countries where it boasts the most presence.
Generational Diversity
Dominion is a fine example of generational diversity, meaning that, at present, four generations of professionals are working together, naturally integrated into the group and contributing according to their level of experience. Older generations contribute to and teach younger generations with their experience in the form of mentoring schemes. The younger generations contribute in the fact that they are better prepared for entrepreneurship and digitalisation. In 2019, 22.24% of the total workforce was under the age of 30, which is more than the figure for the previous year.
Technology-based coordination of a diverse workforce
Dominion relies on technology to manage an extremely diverse workforce, geographically, sectorially and culturally speaking.
Also, given the fact that Dominion's identity, with digitalisation being one of the cornerstones of the 4 "Ds" governing the company, People and Culture has strongly invested in capturing and recruiting technological expertise, and this has become one of the goals for Dominion's future growth and progress.
Investing in occupational safety
Companies must make occupational safety a critical concern, but Dominion strives to establish this as one of its distinguishing features, extending its strict standards to all the regions and sectors it operates in, relying heavily on digitalisation.
Our Positive Footprint
A significant portion of Dominion's business involves supplying its customers with solutions which improve the communities it operates in. This is the case with sanitary equipment, civil protection projects or with improving access to communications or the electricity supply.
All of the above are grounds for asserting that Dominion has a positive footprint.
ESIA experts for large projects
For large projects, known as 360 projects, and depending on the project's characteristics and the customer's requirements, Dominion can also perform complex environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA: Environmental and Social Impact Assessment), performed pursuant to the strictest international standards (IFC).
A sustainable supply chain
Dominion makes its Supplier Code of Conduct available to its main suppliers, requesting that they not only sign adhesion documents, but also provide sufficient information regarding the measures they are taking.
Customers: long-term relationship
Over a thousand companies around the world are benefiting from Dominion's comprehensive range of multi-technical services and engineering solutions to improve the efficiency of their production processes. Moreover, millions of people also have access to the "one stop shop" household offer. The management is different in each case, but both involve the pursuit of excellence and a long-term relationship built on trust.
Education: a key factor in our social commitment
Dominion's community projects focus on technology education, consistent with the guidelines set out by the Corporate Social Responsibility Committee.
This approach has allowed for a more consistent and Company-related form of community development and has also given rise to a wide range of potential forms of interaction and greater visibility.

The ocean is my home.
Ever since I was a child I have been going to the beach, swimming in the ocean and breathing in the salty air. I grew up in South Florida and as a child I was lucky enough to visit places like Hawaii, Fiji, California, the Bahamas, Australia, etc. Something all these places had in common was the ocean.
No matter where I went, I could always visit the ocean. It was always my safe place. A place that reminded me of who I am and where I came from; it was healing. But it was also something I was scared of. It was something that challenged me, awakened me, and drawed me in. It can take everything, but it can also give so much. Experiencing what it had to offer stirred a change in me.
The ocean transformed my life. Photography allowed me to capture it.
As a child, I grew up watching my mom and her best friend take photos of me and of each other. When I was old enough, my dad gave me my first polaroid camera. This got me so psyched to capture everything around me. Eventually, my mom gave me a digital camera and I was taking photos of my friends. It slowly evolved from a playdate idea to a full-time passion project.
I am thankful that I found the middle ground between my home and my passion. I still have a long way to go, but photographing surf lifestyle and beach culture is something that has made me find a peace and a passion I didn't know I could obtain.

"Asphodel Meadows" / "The Two Pigeons"
January 19, 2019 (12:00 am)
by Ilona Landgraf
Copyright © 2019 by Ilona Landgraf
Knowing that the Brexit mess might soon become a restrictive reality, I grabbed at the chance to fly to London for some ballet. The Royal Ballet lured me in with a double bill that can't be seen in continental Europe: "Asphodel Meadows" by Liam Scarlett (the company's artist-in-residence since 2012) and Frederick Ashton's "The Two Pigeons".
I am unfamiliar with Scarlett's work, and "Asphodel Meadows" seemed an apt introduction. The piece was not only Scarlett's debut choreography with the main company in 2010, but also his international breakthrough as a choreographer. The meadows named in the title are those of the ancient Greek underworld, covered in white asphodel (an herb). Ordinary souls dwell there in the afterlife – and although they're not the luxurious Elysian Fields, they are described by the poets as a fertile and flowery paradise of sorts.
Let's assume that the twenty dancers Scarlett included represent such souls. How is their afterlife?
Set designer John Macfarlane presented the dancers not with a sunlit playground, but rather with a clearly structured space featuring a background of movable black panels of different widths. Where does the sun-yellow light that shines through the narrow gaps between the panels come from? Is it late summer beyond the meadows? But no: when the panels glide sideways, they reveal a white backcloth with black, blurry vertical lines as if smeared by their painter. Do they resemble lifelines that only briefly touch before separating? Macfarlane's costumes – strapless dresses for the women and simple pants and tops for the men – are in natural colors. Seen together at the curtain call, when Jennifer Tipton's lighting was a shade warmer, they reminded me of a bunch of everlasting straw flowers.
What is most heartening about this afterlife is the music that moves these souls: Francis Poulenc's Double Piano Concerto, which the composer himself described as "blithely bravura". Its three movements vary in tone. Brisk, sassy melodies roll into serious and longing ones. A few bars later, they mockingly relativize themselves. Moments of sudden silence cause the dancers to freeze, until the music bubbles jollily along.
Each movement features a leading couple (Fumi Kaneko & Calvin Richardson, Mayara Magri & Tristan Dyer, Sea Maeda & Leo Dixon) and a group dance. Scarlett employs a diverse palette of movement textures; by describing its range one would get lost in detail. The choreography is united by its restraint (these souls dance for themselves, not for the audience) and by a strong sense of togetherness, care, and acceptance. Every soul gives the others room to breathe and to be. The dance is neither heavy nor light; weight simply doesn't matter. The grips in the partnering are so accurate and assured that the ensuing lifts and poses, regardless of their intricacy, seem effortless and inevitable.
We are brought back from the meadows into real life by a whiff of lunch wafting across the tier. It heralds the break.
The 1961 choreography of Frederick Ashton's "The Two Pigeons" had been gathering dust on the back shelf of the Royal Ballet's repertory until artistic director Kevin O'Hare complied to audience pressure for a revival in 2015. It was led by Christopher Carr, who himself had danced the piece in the sixties and seventies. In a rehearsal video taken for World Ballet Day 2015, Carr explained: "I try to get the very best I can – for the ballet, for the choreography, and also for the dancer." If Carr says it, you can be dead certain that it'll be the best for the audience as well.
The story of "The Two Pigeons" unfolds in the late 19th century (period décor by Jacques Dupont) and indeed includes a pair of white pigeons onstage. Their courting is mirrored by their wingless counterparts: a human couple – whose romance only blossoms after a slew of trials and tribulations. At the performance I saw, one dove swerved erratically and landed on a music stand in the orchestra pit. Like that dove, the zestful painter (Reece Clarke) strayed, abandoning his model (a young girl of good family danced by Beatriz Stix-Brunell) for a fiery Romani girl (Claire Calvert). After being roasted at the Romani camp, he ruefully returns to the painting studio and to the young girl, who has been waiting and yearning for his arrival. To the audience's great relief, the pigeon comes to its senses as well, perching faithfully next to its partner. It must have been the female of the pair, because it was immediately courted by the other.
Ashton was a deft, bold storyteller. He knew how to keep even the strongest mockery digestible and funny. He knew how to make characters cute without making them sickly sweet, and how to weave bits of worldly wisdom into an otherwise frothy treat of a ballet. This time, Ashton's magic worked on me. My sympathy did not stay with the young girl, whose tomfoolery and childishness made her seem affected rather than charming. What kind of impression do you leave by strutting and scuttling across the stage, jutting your head back and forth and clapping your elbows like a
bird, indignantly thrusting your head out at your rival, or sitting on the floor in an Odette-like pose and bathing in your own grief? – You are a spoiled little girl.
To me, the Romani girl seemed to be the better match for the painter. She was sensual, confident, and outgoing, grabbing at life with both hands. Don't these women, who don't need constant approval from others, make love so easy? Here, Ashton got me. After assuring herself of the painter's affection, the girl's true nature surfaced. She provokes a trial of strength between the painter and her Romani lover (Lukas Bjørneboe Brændsrød), helps to pinion the painter with a rope, and drags him about. When he is finally thrown out of the camp, she mercilessly gives him the cold shoulder.
Now that I think twice about it, the painter wouldn't have fit into that world anyway. His sensitive artist's soul dreams the grandest dreams. Like so many artists, he feels misunderstood and insufficiently appreciated. Even if his foray into the Romani world came to a rough end, it was a great chance to gather real-life experience and to let loose from the restrictive mannerisms he'd learned from his middle-class environment. Clarke's painter happily flings his vest in the wings and, encouraged by the Romani dancers, throws himself into the air, leaping and soaring and totally carefree. My neighbors, who turned out to be Clarke's parents, told me that it was their son's debut in the role and that they were quite nervous. There's no need for that: he did well.
The entire cast danced terrifically, bending and twisting and whirling through the Ashtonian flurry of steps with grace.
"The Two Pigeons" is set to exuberant pastiche music by André Messager. Barry Wordsworth and the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House played both Messager's and Poulenc's scores with aplomb.

DOWNING ON THE VERGE OF LIVERPOOL MOVE
Well done to Daniel Comolli, FSG and John Henry for getting Stewart Downing to Liverpool subject to a medical.
The pursuit of the Aston Villa winger took a few twists and turns with his club steadfastly holding out for a hefty £20 million fee.
To Liverpool's credit, they eventually met the price and despite interest from Arsenal, they now look set to sign the winger, subject to a medical at Melwood and personal terms being agreed with the England International.
Downing scored 9 goals in 69 appearances for Villa along with countless assists from the left-wing.
He will become a vital player for Liverpool as other new recruit Charlie Adam will look to find him with passes from midfield to play crosses into the box for striker Andy Carroll.
Aston Villa Chief Executive Paul Faulkner said: "I can confirm that we have reached an agreement with Liverpool following an improved offer received earlier today and the formal transfer request by Stewart Downing and have subsequently given them permission to speak with the player."
The jigsaw is finally taking shape for Liverpool.
"A lot of football success is in the mind. You must believe you are the best and then make sure that you are. "
Why the 2021-22 season was Liverpool's finest ever
Jurgen Klopp's charges stayed in every single competition to the last game and second. Does that therefore rank as their greatest ever season? In winning both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup after a decade and more in both cases, as well as narrowly missing out on the Premier League title and the Champions League, […]

India US sign MOUs for development of health sector
India and United States signed a series of Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) aimed at development of health sectors on 25 June 2015. The agreements include enhanced cooperation in areas like infrastructure development, cancer research, capacity building and development of new diagnostic technologies.
Health and Family Welfare Ministry official said in a statement that B P Sharma, Secretary Department of Biotechnology, Ministry of Science and Technology, K Vijay Raghavan, and US Ambassador to India Richard Verma signed a Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) on cancer research and a Letter of Intent on Antimicrobial Resistance Research.
Letter of Intent (Loi) was signed between the ICMR, Department of Biotechnology (MoST) and US's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health and DHHS. It includes developing a better mechanism for antimicrobial resistance and exploring patterns of AMR in neonatal intensive. It also includes enhancing efforts in developing and validating new diagnostic methods.

Kavitha Varathan and Chantal Tax have been awarded the 2014 Marina van Damme Grant at TU/e yesterday. Both women received a statuette and a nine-thousand-euro check to carry out their plans from Van Damme herself.
Chantal Tax, Azar Dastouri, and Kavitha Varathan are three female TU/e engineers who were preselected from thirteen applicants. The candidates pitched their plans in De Zwarte Doos this afternoon.
The jury felt Varathan's plan was the best, because it meets a social need, and is of importance to the entire region. The alumna wants to found an organization for expat-wives that helps them to develop their professional talents to the best of their abilities.
After Varathan had been awarded the check, Van Damme unexpectedly announced Chantal Tax was to receive the grant as well. She'll be going to Boston to research lattice structures in the nerves.
The third grant candidate, Azar Dastouri, received a one-thousand-euro incentive from University Fund Eindhoven. "I'm extremely proud of being nominated, and this does not feel like a consolation prize at all", says the mathematician. She wants to use the money for the improvement of highway guardrails.
The Marina van Damme Grant has been initiated by Marina van Damme (1930). Becoming and having a career as an engineer, she was often the only woman in a man's world. She came up with the grant to help female engineers further their careers. All three universities of technology receive an annual grant.
The reason Van Damme was able to award a second grant, is because already last year she'd announced a new series of five grants to be awarded. The first of these five grants has now been advanced by a year.
Reducing reluctance to use technology in the mental health care system, this is what Milou Feijt wants to achieve with her doctoral research. Winning the Marina van Damme grant, awarded last Friday during MomenTUm, makes a big step possible in this direction.
The academic year 2015/2016 was brought to a close on Friday afternoon with the awarding of the Academic Year prizes for the best completed PhD (Stef van den Elzen, visualization of networks), design project (Iok-cheong Wan, optimization of a timber factory) and thesis project (Eline van Haaften, recovery of damaged cartilage).
Whoever reads this is… highly educated, or soon to be so. And if, next to your diploma, you are also gifted with ambition, chances are that at some point in your life you will be confronted with the dilemma of following your heart or following your ambitions.

I went to a local store a few weeks ago that had a sale going on everything in the store. Here are a few things I found and some other additions to the sun room for the new design.
The bird pictures flew the coop and went back to the guest room and these sheep moved in. These are from the same store.
I saw these being sold as a set of four at my favorite antique mall for $140. What?! These are just a print stuck in a frame. Talk about mark up! I am sure I could have made these myself, but I only paid $16 for them so I just grabbed them.
I just love the worn chippy frames and the print that looks like it is mounted on burlap.
I added this rooster picture that I have had. It moved out of the powder room during the renovation. The frame was gold and I painted it with a coat of French Linen chalk paint and then brushed Old White chalk paint on the raised places.
Moved three of my vintage roe deer antler mounts in here. I am going to add more of these as I find them.
I placed my stone sheep on a small stack of vintage books to create this vignette on the table.
So the birds are gone and the livestock has moved in for the new look.
There is an exciting project being done this weekend. Our master bath is being painted by a professional painter and not me. Yay. This is the one room that we don't do ourselves. Of course, the mister couldn't now if he wanted to. All I need to do is decide on a color.
I love your stone sheep, Kim. I have always told my kids that a sheep is what I would really like to have as a pet...they think I'm crazy!! Have an awesome weekend!
ooo I like the sheep in the frames. So cool that you got them for way less than the antique mall. Hope the Mr. gets better real soon.
You've been busy Kim!! Everything looks wonderful!! I love those burlap-y prints, and what you've done to that little frame with the rooster!!
Oh Kim I LOVE your new prints and that little frame looks great painted! I hope your show us pictures of the whole room again since you made some changes.
Gotta love the livestock! Kinda looks like my crazy collection of bovines and sheep. LOL Mine are "penned" in the laundry room though.
Wow, this room is looking better every time you update it...!! It makes me want to jump in my car and go look for livestock prints and antlers!!
Love it all, especially the new picture! So cute!
Your farm animal prints are darling! Of course, I love the antlers too. You must never sit still! Looks great!
Love the changes, Kim. Isn't it fun to have fresh scenery every so often? Enjoy your break from painting!
Love the new look! I like the livestock pictures alot. That bull picture is the one that I had in my hand at first, but then traded it for the one that I have now. The frame was a little warped. They may have replaced it before you went there though. I didn't know you were planning on repainting your master bath. That's so nice that you don't have to do it yourself. Looking forward to seeing it when it's done.
I love your new pictures...they are so beautiful! Your sunroom is looking fabulous :o) Can't wait to see your bathroom sporting a new color!!!!
It looks great Kim, if it's an animal~I love it!
Love the sheep prints, Kim! They look great in that spot, too!
Love the new look of the room with the livestock, you know I'm a sheep lover for sure!!
Great new additions Kim. So happy you hired a professional. I am waiting on one for our laundry room. I picked a color and now waiting on him.
The sheep are so sweet and as I grew up around cows they are always welcome. You hired a painter? That must be restful for you after all that painting you do.
Love the additions! Good choices!
All great additions to your home. I especially love the framed sheep.
Love the sheep Kim and the pic frame with the roosters is wonderful too. Everything looks terrific! I hope hubby is better soon. Happy weekend.
It all looks great Kim...but my fav is the rooster picture redo! Thanks for sharing.
Lovely! We are a wee bit farm crazy here, so of course the livestock are favourites of mine. Your sunroom is just so pretty, Kim.
Kim, love the bull and that rooster in the that frame is awesome! Your vintage roe deer antler look wonderful, what an impressive look! Love how your creative mind works!
Those sheep are fabulous, looks like you had a very productive shopping trip.
Omgosh I am so jealous of your sheep...I adore sheep and am still counting down the days until the fencing is in place to bring home a flock of real ones too.
The sheep pics are wonderful...love the way they are mounted and the color of the frames. I always think it cannot get any better and then you do a little more fine tuning and prove me wrong all over again...so fun watching all of your creative energy play out. Have a great weekend a hope your husband is feeling fine again soon.
Love the new added livestock!!
The sheep are beautiful and the frames are amazing!!
It`s all looking very good - I love the sheep prints.
Lucky you, to be getting your bathroom done too!
There must be a farm animal fever goin' around because I just bought a hanging wooden sheep for my dining room. Love your livestock!
Love the changes you've made. The sheep, and the cow have moved right in and look great.
I like your new art! Looks great!
It all looks wonderful Kim! I always love your cow pints!!
I have the two cows that go with your bull and you sisters. They hang above the toilet in the guest bath.
What a lovely home......I'd love for you to share this @CountryMommaCooks Link & Greet party going on now-Sunday midnight…have a wonderful weekend!
Hope Mr. S is feeling better.
Loving the new pictures and color of your room. And that ain't no bull. Sorry couldn't help myself.
This is such a great room, Kim...love all the new livestock accessories!
I love it all. The antique mall wanted what for those pictures? Really? They are fabulous. So glad you got them for so much less. Don't you just love that?
It looks great...and I have ceiling envy!
I like your animal decor in there. I bet you love not having to paint and clean up the mess in your bathroom!
It's all looking great. It's fun to change things up, once in a while.
Love your sheep pictures and what a great price! I went sheep shopping yesterday. All I found were bunnies, and not a sheep of any kind in sight.
Your vignette on the table is really nice and I still love that lamp. Have a great weekend.
I'd love to know why you hire the pro's for the master! Your painting looks pretty professional! Is Mr. Seeing a chiropractor? Hope he's better real soon!
The sheep prints are my favorites...Love the way your room is transforming. Beautiful!

The Martyn Taylor Show (Part 1)
Hello there, 12:02 on Friday Afternoon and how are you today? You're listening to The Martyn Taylor Show and we've a busy programme ahead of us this afternoon so we best crack on.
Don't forget, coming up at 1 o'clock, our resident gardening expert Dave Carrots will be in the studio raking over all your seasonal gardening questions. Followed by our musical theatre review with Simon Luvvy at 2.
If you have any comments or queries for either of our afore-mentioned gurus, simply tweet me @Martyn_Taylor, thats @Martyn_Taylor, Text me on the 77834 and remember to start all texts with MTS or "like" me on Facebook.com/TheMartynTaylorShow'. Alternatively, get in touch the old fashioned way by sending me an E-mail to, 'Martyn@Taylor.Karoo.co.uk'.
In the studio first off today is Allen Miles, local amateur author. Hi Allen.
You may have seen Allen recently in the Hull Daily Mail discussing his first release "18 Days," which is published by Byker Books. That's in Newcastle isn't it Allen?
Well, the place is actually in Oxford, but the bloke who runs it is very much from Newcastle.
But you're actually here today to talk about your next book, Down And Out On Hartoft Road, which you claim is 98.2% autobiographical.
I'm afraid I can't remember the exact figures but it's in that area.
The book obviously reflects on your experiences while on remand in Hull Prison in 1997. It goes without saying that these were difficult days for you?
The word "difficult" would describe my experience very well. I was only fifteen years old and to be thrown into this place with these enormous hardened criminals was terrible.
None of them knew how to cook for a start. They were content to eat pies every night and they weren't interested in broadening their culinary prowess at all. Eventually I managed to teach a chap called Hebbelthwaite how to make a passable risotto but that was about as far as I got. Many of them had no formal qualifications and I found it almost impossible to get hold of a quality newspaper. The thing that struck me most though, was the smell. I think every single one of them wore Old Spice, an awful stench.
Did you ever find yourself physically threatened?
The atmosphere was rather intimidating. On one occasion I was talking to a chap called "Stabber." He gave himself that name, he was actually called Cyril and he was captain of the B Wing maypole dancing team. I tried to point out to him that the tattoos on his hands were, in my opinion, terribly vulgar. He took exception to this and told me he was going to "lay into to me." Fortunately a man called Horace came to my aid. He recognised me from my Saturday job pushing a tea trolley round a hospital ward, it seemed I'd become quite chatty with his mother, who was in there at the time.
Yes you mention him several times in the book. What was his mother in hospital for exactly?
Well, it seemed that Horace had asked her to tape Ground Force with Charlie Dimmock for him and she forgot. It was his favourite programme and in a fit of temper he savagely belaboured his mother around the head with her own rolling pin. Dreadful business.
You were of course acquitted of all charges. Could you remind the listeners of the charges that were brought against you?
I was accused of stealing 200 packets of Quavers from the storeroom of the Macro Superstore on St Andrews Quay, with the intention of selling them in the school playground; I was also accused of selling pirated Playstation games, and being involved in the illegal trafficking of twenty-seven Bosnian refugees to come and work as cheap labour on a building site round the corner from my house. It was also alleged that I'd bribed the judge. As you say, all the charges were thrown out.
There has been talk on the internet that you stole your story from your cell mate's own memoirs. Accusations of which you have denied, but you are being pursued in court for by your former friend for royalties. I know you can't go into details as the case is still on-going, but how do you react to these stories?
I was furious at first, then when I thought of all the times Horace and I had together I became more saddened than angry. He's also appealing the fact that his mother made me the major beneficiary of her will. Although the man maybe enormous in physical stature his ego would seem terribly fragile. The bottom line is he never copyrighted anything so nothing can be proved.
How difficult was it for you to get your novella published, being an unestablished writer? I myself was unable to find a publisher willing to work with me for my novel!
Well, Byker seemed a fantastic option for me, I read up on them and was absolutely thrilled. They also came personally recommended by some of my absolute heroes.
Who in particular?
Oh too many to mention; Johnny Marr, Ian Hislop, Noel Gallagher, Jose Mourinho…
You know these people?
Well, I've had correspondence with them all. Basically I wrote them all a letter explaining that I was about to sign with Byker and if they had any issues with that they should contact me immediately advising against it. I didn't get a single reply so as I say I took these as personal recommendations. I have regular contact with the editor, they didn't want me to change my work in anyway and the contract is very amicable. Most accommodating for one's first forays into the world of literature.
Oh, I had contacted them and they told me that they only worked with 'known' authors but…….
(Interrupting) I think I see what you've done here, you may have got the word "known" mixed up with "talented."
O.k, anyways back to your book. Was it difficult to write about your struggles with drink and drugs, the latter of which led to you having to prostitute yourself, knowing that your family will be reading the book?
Well as you know, my family live in Romania and don't speak any English so it wasn't that much of an issue. They know I've been published but I told them I'd written a book on bicycle maintenance.
Were they proud?
They were absolutely elated. To own a bike in the village where they live is like owning a Rolls Royce here. I'm told the local artist has sculpted a statue of me from goat droppings.
Getting back to the addictions you had, you've spoken frankly about your flirtation with heroin…
Yes I used to have one shot each morning with my Rice Krispies whilst watching a repeat of The Bill on UK Gold. Most stimulating. Heroin never became a problem for me, there were much more dangerous things about to make my life a living hell. I had two major vices in particular.
Which were…?
The first was Green Giant Sweetcorn. I was once casually strolling down the tinned food aisle of my local branch of Morrison's and I put six cans in my basket, with the intention of making some fritters that I'd seen Delia make on TV the previous evening. All of a sudden I noticed a rake thin Spaniard who I would come to know as Miguel beckoning me. He asked me if I liked Green Giant sweetcorn and obviously I said yes. He then told me he could get hold of "the proper shit, direct from Minnesota." As I was in a rather vulnerable frame of mind at the time I agreed to try it. It was incredibly powerful, much stronger than the supermarket issue. Before I knew where I was I was spending £2000 a week on my habit.
Harrowing stuff. And the other…?
Lemmings.
Lemmings the video game?
Well, it's a video game for most people but to me it became a way of life. Everything that I held dear went out of the window. My girlfriend left, I lost my job, I had been served an eviction notice but I didn't care. All I could think about was the next level. I saw lemmings in my dreams, on two or three occasions I actually went out for groceries dressed as a lemming, I was an utter mess.
What was the lowest point?
(Long silence) My computer overheated and shut down. I snapped back into reality to find that every single square inch of the floor was covered in empty tins of sweetcorn. It wasn't even Green Giant by this point, it was just anything I could get my hands on; Princes, Heinz, anything… There was exposed bone on the tip of my right index finger from repeated clicking of the mouse. It transpired that I'd been playing Lemmings and eating sweetcorn for fifteen successive days without sleep. When I think back… the amount of milk piled up outside my front door… (looks like he's about to cry)
Are you okay Mr Miles?
(Braces himself) Yeah I'm alright.
I'm sorry, a question I must ask is how did you manage to stay awake for fifteen days? Was it inspired by the high carbohydrate content in the sweetcorn?
No, I'd ingested almost a whole kilo of cocaine.
And the prostitution?
Well it wasn't as tawdry as you are implying, I merely provided an escort service for lonely single people, male or female. Back then, before the sweetcorn took hold, I was viewed as somewhat of a looker, and people would take me to social events in order to elevate their stature.
In chapter 7, you state that while you were "on the game" one of your regular punters was, and I quote, "A Local Sports Star". Care to elaborate?
Well he called himself a local sports star, he actually had ideas way above his station. It turned out he played 5-a-side at National Ave Cricket Centre. Wayne, his name was. Very charming man, and not unattractive. Frankly I was amazed he needed to use my service.
Did you become close?
Yes we did. He used to buy me all manner of expensive gifts; suits, fine wine, he took me to see Simply Red in concert once, a wonderful evening.
Are you still in touch?
No. One evening he bought me this spectacular diamond ring, which he presented to me at the top of the Eiffel Tower as he was tying his shoelace. I took it with enthusiasm at the time, which seemed to make him ecstatically happy, but a couple of days later I decided it didn't suit me, I don't really wear platinum, and I sold it at a pawn shop to buy more sweetcorn. I felt a wee bit guilty after that so I ignored his calls until they stopped.
Right, O.K. You're cleared of the charges, cleaned up your act, you get a job with the N.H.S, you're settled, and then the bombshell in chapter 11 happens. How did you deal with the disappointment?
I wouldn't describe it as disappointment. I found out that the people I'd known as mum and dad for twenty years had in fact adopted me. I would describe it as jaw-dropping shock.
How did you react when they told you?
I broke down and sobbed. I had absolutely no inkling at all. I simply could not believe I had no genetic link with these people. They had given me so much influence throughout my life.
So many ways. My father played me records that would become engrained on my heart; James Brown, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, I still love them now. When I was a child my mother would read to me the poetry of Maya Angelou at bedtime and take me to her gospel church on Sundays. When I was thirteen my father gave me a copy of Dr Martin Luther King's biography which I read a hundred times. Such beautiful memories. I still can't believe they weren't my real parents.
So then you tracked down your real parents to a small hamlet in Romania. Yet they didn't seem too welcoming?
Not at first but then we didn't know a word of each other's language. Fortunately Miguel put me in touch with Ilie Dumitrescu, who had become a Green Giant addict during his time at West Ham, and he kindly provided a rudimentary translation service.
Yes, I've seen the photo of your family re-union that was taken in the squalid Romanian village where they live. It looks ghastly.
No, that photo was taken when I flew them over here, during a shopping trip to Leeds. Its not really a relationship I have an interest in cultivating, to be honest. Once they found out I earn a decent wage they have been bothering me day and night to send them money so they can buy a cow. I've taken back their surname, obviously, but I've anglicised it; it was Milescu.
Oh, I see. What was your surname under your adoptive parents?
M'Boko.
Really? M'Boko would seem rather a… Oh shit… Sydney! Sydney!
Well, I'm afraid my producer has fallen asleep so that will have to conclude the first part of our interview Mr Miles, do you have a song you'd like to request and perhaps dedicate to someone special?
Yes, I'd like to request If You Don't Know Me By Now by Simply Red, and it's dedicated to my former client Wayne. So terrible when a man of such tender years takes his own life.
Thank You. We'll be back with more from Allen Miles in the next episode of The Martyn Taylor Show. Stay tuned for Dave Carrots and his advice on growing a really big parsnip this winter.

Workplace and workforce issues
The impact of the redeployment of maternity staff during COVID-19
June 2020 – initial report
Impact of the changes in staffing
Recommendations and activity to date
There have been several consequences of this redeployment. Overall, 85% of trusts/units reported a significant change in ways of working, with 89% having reduced face-to-face interactions and 82% noting a reduction in training opportunities. Consultants, SAS and middle grade doctors have been placed under increased and unsustainable stress running a core service without a valuable part of the workforce.
A high proportion of trusts experienced a relaxation of junior doctor contract rules in order to accommodate shortages in the rotas and improve coverage. Outpatient cancer and elective cancer surgery was being provided by gynaecology consultants only. There has also been a notable increase in locum use, with a 37% of units who responded reporting an increase in the use of internal locums and 11% reporting an increase in external locum use. This reflects the increased pressure on maternity services.
More than a quarter reported significantly longer hours for those available to work. A similar number stated they were unable to offer timely clinic appointments.
Concerns about changes
Over a quarter of survey respondents said they had concerns about the planning and implementation of the medical staff changes at their place of work. Concerns about how the changes were implemented and communicated to staff were by far the most common across all trusts, highlighting the importance of clear and consistent communications when relaying information about staffing changes. Several respondents felt that the redeployment plans lacked efficient planning and transparency and that the changes to their rotas were unnecessary.
The loss of training opportunities was experienced by trusts across the board and in some cases units were not confident that sufficient induction training was provided for staff moving to medical teams. Several respondents were apprehensive about having limited exposure to gynaecology as a direct result of staffing changes and some conveyed that the changes in working patterns resulted in an increased rate of staff sickness at their units.
Learning opportunities and positives as a result of the changes
Despite the concerns raised, a large number of survey respondents felt that there were lessons learned and learning opportunities gained through the response to COVID-19. By and large the most collective positive outcome highlighted was the noted increase in staff morale at all levels and sense of comradery amongst teams. Adaptability and flexibility were required to accommodate last minute rota changes due to staff sickness, redeployment, changes in policy and service delivery and several trusts experienced improved team working as a result of these challenges.
In many trusts changes that were in the pipeline, such as telephone triage, outpatient management and MVA provision, were brought forward to meet the service demands. This had a number of positive effects, with some units reporting improved efficiency in their service delivery as senior staff only were doing telephone clinics which resulted in fewer follow-ups. A high proportion of survey respondents also felt that remote clinics have advantages and can be more convenient for some patients with families.
Some trusts reported that there were greater opportunities for reflective practice, leadership, and crisis management, and trainees fed back that their communication skills had improved due to being on the medical rota and having difficult conversations with families during the crisis.
Some consultant gynaecology surgeons felt that they benefited from increased surgical exposure and several junior grade doctors (those who were not redeployed) added that they benefited from increased access to consultants in their work.

The Significance Of Best Tax Accountants
When it comes to preparing income tax returns for companies and professionals it can be a real nightmare if you don't know what you're doing. This is where a tax accountant becomes valuable for any business as they can do all of the hard work for you. Training to become a TA can be a potentially rewarding career choice for anyone who has an interest in accounting. A great deal of people can enter into a career in accounting with the ideal training, however the career is best suited to those who have strong math skills, have a logical, analytical mind and enjoy dealing with numbers and working through problems.
If you would like a job as a tax accountant then you might have the ability to put on a low-level position with just a two-year degree. However, if you wish to forge a career in this area and be as successful as possible, then it is well worth getting as much schooling as possible. Go to the following website, if you're looking for additional information concerning gloucester tax accountants.

This means getting at least a bachelor's degree in accounting at least in order to give yourself the best possible opportunity when starting out. A fantastic accounting degree will open many doors for you and whilst it's likely to have a successful career as a TA without one, it is best to educate yourself as much as possible to get ahead of the competition. When most people consider being a tax accountant they think of number crunching, but in reality there's a lot more to the function than this. A good tax accountant should also understand and keep up to date with changing tax legislation.
They will also have to advise their clients about the tax credits and deductions they're qualified for and make sure they are receiving them. A tax accountant may also be required to help their clients prepare for the upcoming tax season by advising them on how to better manage their finances and other factors that may determine how much tax they'll have to pay through the year.
In this case, a tax accountant will need to get creative with their options in order to successfully lower a customer's tax bill in a way that is above board and ethical. The great thing about being a tax accountant is that you can work in nearly every area of business. You may choose to specialize in a specific area or maintain your role broad. When you embark on a career as a tax accountant you are entering into a relatively stable industry. The thing about being a tax accountant is that as long as people continue to pay taxes, you are likely to be needed.
You can be sure that after you've qualified as an accountant that you will have a long and lucrative career if you decide to remain within the field. If you are torn between the thought of a career in tax accounting and one in general accounting then the former is beneficial. A career in tax accounting permits you to concentrate your research so that you can become an expert in your area and present yourself as an expert in a niche.
Narrowing your focus down within the accounting field makes you a more valuable employee in the long run and you can grow your knowledge of tax codes and a wealth of experience.

London place names, but not as you know them
This week marks the 150th anniversary of the London Underground. The Metropolitan Railway line, completed in 1863, then running from Paddington to Farringdon Street, was the first part of the London Underground to be built, and was the first Underground railway up and running in the world. More than 2,000 workers built the line, and the first carriages were pulled by steam before electrification was introduced in the early nineteenth century. Today, the Tube, as it quickly became known, is often an area of frustration in many commuters' lives, though we have to admit that without it we would be stranded (probably somewhere near the M25). In honour of its longstanding service, here are ten little-known yet interesting facts about the locations in which underground stations can be found today.

Q: Чтение цвета из Bitmap, полученного с помощью DirectX Есть задача прочитать цвет пикселя из файла BMP, который помещен в image1. Надо использовать для чтения файла TMemoryStream, так как воспользоваться image1.Canvas.Pixels[x,y] нет возможности - "пипетка" отключается когда запущено DirectX приложение, а оно запущено и из него это BMP и берется в виде скриншота.
Дополнение!!!
Оказалось что - взятие цвета Bitmap.Pixels начало работать раз через раз. В чем может быть проблема? В общем: компилирую приложение, запускаю от имена админа - PostMessage не работает, цвет возвращает нули. Закрываю приложение. Запускаю по новой - и то и то работает. И так все время. Раньше такое же поведение заметил в модуле TICQ - раз через раз при запусках не хотело логиниться. Что это может быть? Как видно - я не редактирую код между запусками, и даже не компилирую. Просто перезапускаю и либо все работает либо все не работает. У меня Delphi XE3 и Win10.
И так. Не всегда работают участки кода (Запускаю от имени админа), но иногда работают при многократном перезапуске приложения:
procedure TForm1.F10Timer(Sender: TObject);
var wnd: HWND;
begin
wnd:=FindWindow(0, 'Lineage II'); //находим окно
if (wnd<>0) then //если найдено то выполняем код (находит всегда)
begin
  PostMessage(wnd,WM_KEYDOWN, VK_f10,0); //нажимаем F10
  label14.Caption:='F10'; //для себя пишем на форме что клавиша нажата
end;
end;

Таких процедур много, они идентичны, и все вместе либо работают либо нет. В них собственно посылается нажатие клавиш в окно игры (да, я пишу бота).
Далее - определение цвета. Работает только если работает отправка нажатий клавиш (имею ввиду вот этот баг, что описан мною выше):
procedure TForm2.Button5Click(Sender: TObject);
var GetSc:Dx.TImageCatcher;
begin
GetSc:=Dx.TImageCatcher.Create; //создаю экземпляр класса (Dx.pas)
GetSc.TargetHandle:=FindWindow(0, 'Lineage II'); //передаю заголовок игры
GetSc.CatchType:=ctDirectX; //установил способ съемки
GetSc.ActivateTarget; //активирую окно игры
GetSc.GetScreenShot; //это битмап, сюда грузим снимок
image1.Picture.Bitmap:=GetSc.Bitmap; //из битмапа передаем снимок в image1
image1.canvas.CopyRect(image1.ClientRect,image1.Canvas,rect(27,58,181,95)); //оставляю в image1 только интересующую меня область (шкала CP, HP, MP)
image1.Picture.bitmap.width:=155; //ровняем размеры
image1.Picture.bitmap.Height:=38; //ровняем размеры
image1.Picture.Bitmap.Dormant; //переводим image1 по совету из камментов
labelededit1.Text:=inttohex(image1.Picture.Bitmap.Canvas.Pixels[135,19],6); //пробуем узнать цвет
end;

Фактически тут весь пример, все остальное аналогичное. Есть мнение что либо компилятор грешит, либо WinAPI, понять не могу. Это все иногда шикарно работает, если уж начало работать, а результат вот он:
Ссылка на окно: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3g0HJYW_bzHcnNHWEtTMDVxdXc
Lineage II в списке окон. Окно "Lineage II" класс "L2UnrealWWindowsViewportWindow". Дочерних как видим нет.
Ссылка: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3g0HJYW_bzHNU1LX3lqWDlfZ2M/view?usp=sharing

A: Попробуйте сделать вот так:
GetSc := Dx.TImageCatcher.Create; //создаю экземпляр класса (Dx.pas)
try
  GetSc.TargetHandle := FindWindow(0, 'Lineage II'); //передаю заголовок игры
  GetSc.CatchType := ctDirectX; //установил способ съемки
  GetSc.ActivateTarget; //активирую окно игры
  GetSc.GetScreenShot; //это битмап, сюда грузим снимок
  image1.Picture.Bitmap := GetSc.Bitmap; //из битмапа передаем снимок в image1
finally
  GetSc.Free;
end;

image1.ScanLine(0); // дальше можно работать с указателем на массив пикселей, полученным от функции ScanLine или делать как раньше

image1.canvas.CopyRect(image1.ClientRect,image1.Canvas, rect(27,58,181,95)); //оставляю в image1 только интересующую меня область (шкала CP, HP, MP)
image1.Picture.bitmap.width:=155; //ровняем размеры
image1.Picture.bitmap.Height:=38; //ровняем размеры
labelededit1.Text:=inttohex(image1.Picture.Bitmap.Canvas.Pixels[135,19], 6); //пробуем узнать цвет

Q: Having formatting problems I can't seem to figure out
As you should be able to see from the image, my enumerate environment seems to work fine up until I typeset the table, and then things shift to the left margin. I'd like the (a) and (b) to line up, and have the table sit to the right as well.
Any tips?

        \end{enumerate}
    \end{enumerate}

\end{document}

A: The problem seems to be that \captionof resets the left and right margins for the enumerate environment.
Embed the \captionof inside a \parbox like so:
\parbox{\linewidth}{\captionof{table}{$\delta: Q\times \Gamma \to Q\times \Gamma\times \{L,R\}$}}

Using \linewidth should get the correct centering for within you enumerated list.  This is because \linewidth is the parameter LaTeX uses to determine how long a line should be at that moment.  Note \textwidth will not give you the correct width.
This solution creates a bit of extra vertical space you may not want. But you can easily fix that by adding a \vspace{<dim>} with an appropriately set negative dimension.

Popular Comic Book Characters Inspired From Real Life People
Beanbag Central Team January 21, 2018 0 comment
The story and the actual plot of the comic stories come from various sources. Comic writers come with individual characters of their stories based on the inspiration of real-life characters. You would have come across various comic stories with characters that were the inspiration of real-life heroes. Here you would know about the list of comic book characters inspired from real-life people
Inspirational Real-Life Characters
Comic stories are usually based on values, history, and culture. Story writers mostly include inspirational characters in their story so that they can motivate and create an impact on the readers. Story writers indeed come across many people in their lives who inspire them due to their acts and personal traits. The comic stories written based on real-life characters are dominant in conveying great messages.
Comic Book Characters Vs. Real-Life People
The following are some of the comic book characters that were formed from people of the real world.
Tony Stark: Howard Hughes inspired this cartoon character. He is an inventor and an incredible man. Stan Lee created Tony stark keeping in mind, Howard Hughes.
John Constantine: Sting, a famous pop musician, was inspired by artist and thus created Jon Constantine. This character came into life when Alan Moore wanted to build a character which is young and depicted as a blue-collar mystic.
Tintin: Paul Huld, an adventurer boy, completed the challenge of traveling the world within 46 days without the use of airplanes. Herge, a Belgian Cartoonist, started to depict the adventurous journey pf this adventurer boy and name the character as Tintin.
Clark Kent: A silent film comedian Harold Llyod inspired this cartoon character. Clark Kent was characterized just like the famous actor who was nervous and timid in the films.
Bucky Barnes: Joe Simon created a cartoon character of the short kid. He was inspired by his school friend Bucky Pierson and named this little cartoon character as Bucky Barnes.
The above are some of the cartoon characters that were inspired by real-life people.

Stacks are what list items and folders turn into when pulled into the Dock of OS X. There are several views for Stacks, like a grid, or a fan, or a list in modern OS X versions. But with a little secret defaults string, a list view can be enabled in prior releases of OS X too.
Here's how to enable the secret Stacks list view for Dock stacks in OS X, which is now my new favorite way to use Stacks.
Now when you right-click (control-click) a Stacks icon in the Dock, you'll see "List" as an option. Try it out, it's pretty great!
The Mac Dock Stacks are nice but it has long needed a scrollable list view option, how neat is it that OS X actually has exactly that, it's just hidden!?
This works in many versions of OS X, give it a whirl and see how you like it.
Luke and Mike are right, list view has always existed, this just enables a more "Snow-leopard-like" list view. I get a pretty weird effect when I click on a subfolder of a stack though.
It changes the font to a larger one – nice.
The highlight gone – not nice.
The ability to side-expand folders gone – not nice.
I am back to the default "List" option.
Awesome! Passing this tip around! :) Thanks!
Any update for this for El Capitan?

World-class Art Exhibitions come to Doncaster on the big screen at Cast
By Mia Brook on Friday, May 20, 2016
Famous artworks and the stories behind them came to Doncaster when EXHIBITION ON SCREEN launched at Cast with Goya: Visions of Flesh and Blood on Sunday 15 May, with Renoir on Sunday 12 June and Painting the Modern Garden on Sunday 3 July soon to come.
EXHIBITION ON SCREEN by award-winning arts documentary maker Phil Grabsky & Seventh Art has already delighted art lovers in more than 40 countries across the world, and bringing the exhibits to Doncaster and audiences who may not have otherwise had the opportunity to enjoy them.
Exhibition On Screen also acts as a complementary extension to a gallery visit, immersing the viewer in artwork up close, analysing works not included in each exhibition and providing illuminating historical and critical context.
Self portrait in his studio, Francisco de Goya
Goya – Visions of Flesh and Blood (Sunday 15 May, 7pm) brought the dramatic life and extraordinary artistry of Francisco Goya to the big screen for the first time. As well as providing unrestricted access to the landmark exhibition Goya: The Portraits at the National Gallery, the feature-length film built a compelling portrait of Spain's most celebrated artist through insights from international experts, masterpieces from renowned collections and visits to the locations in which he lived and worked.
Baigneuse (Bather), Renoir
Following the success of this once-in-a-lifetime show comes Renoir – Revered and Reviled (Sunday 12 June, 7pm) which will give local audiences the opportunity to see extraordinary artworks collected at the Barnes Foundation in Philadelphia, home to the largest Renoir collection in the world, which have never before travelled to the UK and are never loaned.
The film will grant completely unrestricted access to the unique collection amassed by Dr. Albert C. Barnes, who admired Renoir above all other artists. This unrivalled collection of 181 Renoir works, largely paintings from his 'late period', will promote a fresh look at one of the 20th century's greatest artists, and help to explore why Renoir has polarised opinion for over 100 years.
The film includes interviews with leading art critics from the New York Times and the Washington Post, internationally renowned scholars and several artists, as well as uncovering the rarely told story of his artistic reinvention after he rejected the Impressionist movement that had earned him widespread critical acclaim. It will explore the profound implications for two artistic greats of the 20th century: Picasso and Matisse, and debate if Renoir was a self-indulgent fantasist or was Matisse right to declare his voluptuous female figures "the loveliest nudes ever painted"?
The Artist's Garden in Argenteuil
Painting the Modern Garden: Monet to Matisse (Sunday 3 July, 7pm) will explore the intriguing relationship between the world's greatest artists and horticulture. The film will transport viewers across Europe to some of the most beautiful gardens depicted in art, from Monet's water lilies at Giverny to Bonnard's privately owned garden in Vernonnet.
The behind-the-scenes visits to these stunning landscapes provides an essential backdrop to the artworks they inspired, on display at the Royal Academy, and examines the role of the garden in art history from Impressionism to the Avant-Garde. Audiences will be able to appreciate the natural beauty from which painters such as Liebermann, Sorolla and Nolde worked, and discover how these inspiring surroundings translated onto the canvas. Fresh insights from international gardening experts and art critics bring the history of the garden's relationship with art to life. Interviews with renowned modern artists Lachlan Goudie and Tania Kovats will also reveal how the relationship between the artist and the natural world continues to flourish in the 21st century.
