Design Partners Q&A: a gamified challenge to the medtech industry
Design Partners has decades of experience in both gaming and healthcare design. Now, the firm has developed MOTUS/D, a motorised stent delivery system which uses games-controller-style haptic feedback to allow surgeons to intuitively weave through the contours of the vascular system. Medical Device Network speaks to Design Partners creative director Cormac Ó Conaire and healthcare design director Eugene Canavan to find out more.

The video gaming industry is one of the biggest in the world, worth an estimated $160bn and expected to reach $300bn by 2025, and a link between gaming and surgical hardware is beginning to emerge. Product design agency Design Partners has been working in both the gaming and healthcare sectors for years, and is now looking into how it can combine its expertise in both areas to improve surgical devices and patient outcomes.
Enter MOTUS/D. Stents are currently inserted into the body mechanically, something that becomes increasingly problematic the deeper into the body they need to be inserted. As locations become more difficult to reach, surgeons have to apply greater force and employ bigger movements, which can cost them a degree of accuracy and precision. The motorised MOTUS/D aims to eliminate this problem, using in-handle electronics to develop a pressure sensitive trigger which allows the surgeon to control the wire steadily and accurately.
Using MOTUS/D, surgeons are able to concentrate more on precision than force, controlling the handle and deciding to slow down or speed up based on on-screen imaging, just like in a video game.
Design Partners creative director Cormac Ó Conaire and healthcare design director Eugene Canavan discuss how this device could help shape the future of the medical device industry.
Chloe Kent: How does Design Partners aim to combine gamification with medical technology?
Cormac Ó Conaire: We're very interested in how the physical aspects of the devices that medical professionals use can be influenced by gaming. Gamers and surgeons, they share very important qualities – this appreciation of precision and accuracy, visual-spatial skills, depth perception and total immersion in what they do, this kind of unrelenting focus.
Eugene Canavan: In the world of surgical devices, especially delivery devices, what tends to happen is that the surgeons need to go deeper and deeper into the body through increasingly torturous paths. When you add in other factors like drug eluting stents, the force becomes higher and higher. The problems that come with that are that it's blind navigation. What we've been looking at lately is motorising these devices, taking away that physical limitation.
Once I started playing with motorised delivery surgical products, we were struck by how similar the usability of that was to gaming products. There's a crossover in surgical robotics as well; those controllers for robotic arms are straight out of gaming, basically. There's a lot of surgical devices that can learn from gaming.
CK: What kind of device is MOTUS/D?
CÓC: It's a product that we've developed taking our expertise from gaming and surgery and combining that. MOTUS/D eliminates the problems Eugene was talking about with inserting stents deeper into the body in difficult-to-reach areas. We've taken this concept and started to flesh out the physical design of the handheld surgical device, and then the design and engineering team have turned this into a reality. We're looking at how the surgeon would hold it, the ergonomics around it, the technology inside of the electronics to enable the trigger to be pressure-sensitive to control the delivery wire steadily and accurately.
It goes further than simply answering a medical need. How the surgeon feels about the device, how they would connect with it and how it would elevate them as professionals, all combine to create this better product experience. Video games is one area, but when you're talking about physical devices, how do you build immersion into a physical device? We think about engaging the senses, we call it sensory engagement. It's not about just meeting regulatory requirements and de-risking a product into existence, what we try to do is elevate the surgeon's experience and the emotional connection they have with what they do.
CK: What clinical studies have you completed to back up the product so far?
EC: We've done internal benchtop testing, we've created the design. At the moment what we're doing is deploying stents that are comparable to the existing gold standard. It's actually tested to a point where, as the industry would call it, it's proof of principle. It can establish stents as well as the mechanical device, but you don't have this mechanical limitation. Of course, there are a lot of challenges, like how the feel is then translated back to the surgeon with haptic feedback.
Really, what Design Partners is doing is putting a bit of a challenge out there to the industry, we're being a little bit disruptive on purpose. We're putting this out there and saying 'what if we designed more devices like this?'
CK: When would you hope to see MOTUS/D in a surgeon's hand?
EC: We hope soon, but what we're really doing is putting this out there so that it changes the conversation within the industry. We're publishing it and we're hoping to inspire some people. MOTUS/D may not be the actual final product, but we're hoping it will change the conversation and actually get companies thinking about this.

"Excellent moist chocolate chip cookie with oatmeal and mini chocolate chips."
Mix flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl; stir into creamed butter until combined. Fold chocolate chips into batter. Drop 1 to 2 tablespoons batter for each cookie onto a baking sheet.
I didn't like the texture of these and they didn't have near enough flavor. I'll probably try making pumpkin bars next since I don't know how I would ever get the texture of these right.

Health Insurance coverage With No Regrets!
I was frightened when I was diagnosed with a femoral hernia. Fortunately, one of these hernia could be simply fixed. It helps not to worry too much. There will be bruising in the space of the surgical procedure, however like with different bruises, an ice pack may also help the therapeutic. Don't panic in the event you feel a lump underneath the positioning of incision either. This is scar tissue, and it will regularly go away over the course of a few months to a few years.
You possibly can choose your brief term well being insurance coverage plan to pay for services from ANY doctor or hospital. Yes, you may hold your doctor! With most short time period plans, additionally, you will obtain discounted provider network charges.
We advocate that you just take out health insurance coverage with a statutory or state-recognised health insurance coverage scheme in Germany (see ' State well being insurance places of work in Passau ' under), as the well being insurance protection in different nations is usually insufficient. German health insurers provide beneficial charges for students (EUR 76.forty one per thirty days for college students below the age of 23; EUR 77.90 monthly for students aged 23 to 29).
Hi, TahoeDoc! I'm so glad you mentioned breast discount – I want so as to add a section on that! As you point out, anything finished just for seems (except it's restorative) is paid for by the affected person. I've recognized women who had breast reductions to eliminate the extreme stress on their shoulder muscle tissue. Thanks so much for your feedback right here!
Which is preferable, bankrupting the hospitals or letting the hospitals proceed to bankrupt the uninsured patients? Medical bills are the main reason for bankruptcy within the United States. Gallstone pancreatitis happens when a gallstone or stones pass from the gallbladder and get stuck in the pancreatic duct or the ampulla of Vater portion of the common bile duct.
I am too disabled to sleep outside. I'd haven't any alternative but to go to a homeless shelter. I would have to survive as greatest I could. This data is sweet; thank you for writing it. The high risk plans do have a big downside. Most of them require individuals to be without insurance coverage for six months. That may be a really very long time when one has expensive medicine, remedies, or hospitalization.
Just a few months after I wrote this article, my husband's health insurance coverage kicked in, so I was capable of see a dermatologist concerning the suspicious bump on my arm. The physician took one take a look at it and dismissed it as completely harmless scar tissue. The pressing care doctor had merely been improper. Of course, if I have been nonetheless uninsured, I might still be strolling round considering that I had cancer.

One of the great things about London is that it is vibrant and dynamic; there are constantly new restaurants opening and closing, new business ideas cropping up everywhere I look, trends coming and going. And it has a great art scene, which as you know, I am a big fan of. So, when someone I know recently said that Notting Hill wasn't 'dynamic' enough, I of course took offence and had to counter that argument. At the moment, Notting Hill is booming. It is showcasing some of the biggest trends in London at the moment:
There's a lot happening in the restaurant and bar scene around here, most recently with the opening of Farmacy on Westbourne Grove this past Monday. Farmacy is a plant based restaurant and bar, so essentially a vegan restaurant, opened by Camilla Al Fayed. I went opening day and it was packed, service was spotty (it was their first service after all), but the food was good. For vegan food. My only problem with it was that as I was eating my aubergine and pumpkin curry, I kept looking for the chicken. It is a beautiful, light, airy space, that it is going to be a sure hit around here: Nice restaurant + rabbit food= Happy Yummy Mummies.
On the heels of the Rum Kitchen's success, a new Caribbean restaurant and bar is opening up on Notting Hill Gate today, Cotton's Restaurant & Bar, which will boast 300 different rums on offer. I have been invited to try it out so will give you the scoop in a few weeks.
This leads me to think that Notting Hill Gate is upping its game, with Polpo, Cottons's, and the total refurb of Itsu. Itsu's new look is also being unveiled today (April 29th), and I will let you know what I think soon enough!
Speaking of Japanese, mysushishop is coming to Westbourne Grove very soon. For those who don't know it, it's a French-fast-food-fancy sushi (try saying that four times in a row). Or at least it claims to be. Its reviews are mixed here in London, although it has been a hit in France. Let's see what happens.
On the Portobello/Kensington Park Road side of things, Tonkotsu has opened on Blenheim Crescent where the Bubble Tea Bar used to be and I'm keen try it out. Next to it a sweets shop, Ask Mummy and Daddy, has opened in place of the popcorn shop. Across from it, Sweet Things Cafe has been imported from the Primrose Hill and it is absolutely lovely.
Around the corner on Kensington Park Road, Peyotito, a Mexican restaurant and little sister to Peyote has taken over the space of Montgomery Bar, which I was quite sad to see go, as it was one of the only bars in the neighbourhood. Notting Hill is now becoming Mexican heaven with Crazy Homies, Santos, Taqueria, and let's not forget Loco Mexicano.
Lots going on in this sector as well, with the brand spanking new Bodyism opening up right smack in the middle of Daylesford and Joseph. So, what you do is 1) eat your grains at Daylesford 2) work out at Bodyism 3) go to Joseph in your newly found Size 0. Of course, I don't have £18,000 to spare for a membership, but if you do, I hear it's a wonderful 'lifestyle.'
Like I already mentioned, Teresa Tarmey has recently opened a spa/salon around the corner from Cult Granger (I still don't understand the wait-in-the-rain-for-2-hours-granger-cult, it's good, but it's not THAT good). Margaret Dabbs has taken over the Spa NK spa area (not sure what happened and why it closed down), but it offers great medical pedicures for anyone whose feet need some professional help; they are podiatrists who can sort out your wonky feet in a jiffy.
Real Estate Etc…
On the Bayswater side of Westbourne Grove, so much is happening on the real estate front; four new 'luxury' residential buildings have been built/are being built, which is slowly changing the face of Bayswater. One houses the West London Buddhist Centre and another houses Heal's on Queensway. I don't think you can get more of an indication of gentrification than that. Can't wait to see what they will do on Queensway…
So, if this isn't 'dynamic' enough, I don't know what is.
Let me know your thoughts or if you want any of the above reviews, I am happy to try them out for you 😉

Q: Inserting data into SQL Server database with potentially duplicate data I have two databases on different servers, which have tables called dbo.A. The data is both is largely the same, but I want to make sure both tables have the same data. I've been using SQL Server June 2016 to export data from one table to the other, but the error I get is:

Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint ''. Cannot insert duplicate key in object A
The duplicate key value is 'Some text here'

I know I can delete the table and reinsert the rows, but that's cumbersome and pretty bad practice. What would be the best way for me to update the data in the second database?

A: Add the server as your linked server and use the following statement.
To add rows in TableA from say Serve B's Table A.
INSERT INTO dbo.A (Col1 , Col2 , Col3 , ....)
SELECT Col1 , Col2 , Col3 , ....
FROM [LinkedServerB].[DBName].[dbo].[A] A
WHERE NOT EXISTS ( SELECT 1 FROM dbo.A
                   WHERE A.PK_Column = PK_Column)

And then use the same query on Server B to add the rows from Server A
To add rows in TableA from say Serve B's Table A.
INSERT INTO dbo.A (Col1 , Col2 , Col3 , ....)
SELECT Col1 , Col2 , Col3 , ....
FROM [LinkedServerA].[DBName].[dbo].[A] A
WHERE NOT EXISTS ( SELECT 1 FROM dbo.A
                   WHERE A.PK_Column = PK_Column)

A: Ok if you can't use a linked server can you copy the data into an empty staging table. Then run the similar insert statement but use the staging table instead of the linked table

Select the name of each product category along with the revenue (name that column revenue) that it generated between 2016 and 2018.
Sort the results by revenue in descending order.
Show a given product category even if there were no sales for a particular category. In this case, the revenue has to be null.
The BETWEEN condition for dates will remove any row that does not fulfill the date condition (it will also remove rows with no sales at all). We have to consider rows without any sales in this period in a separate condition.


The debate over Mitcham's town centre reached a crucial stage when it was discussed by Merton Council's excitingly named Street Management Advisory Committee at the end of January.
Councillors heard passionate calls from local groups and residents to rethink proposals to cut the historic Fair Green in half with a new bus lane. There was also support to remove Mitcham's gyratory one way system and relieve the centre from traffic.
We urged Councillors to value Fair Green – the "ace in the pack" for Mitcham's recovery and keep it open and well cared for.
After a long debate the Committee rejected the bus lane plans while backing the other welcome proposals to improve the look and feel of the town centre. The decision is only advisory and it will be for Cabinet member Councillor Andrew Judge to decide what happens next.
More consultation is promised in the Spring.

Mr Wiggins who recently triumphed at the Tour de France told the BBC that the wearing of cycle helmets should be made compulsory. He also advised cyclists not to wear ear phones or other equipment that prevented them from using all of their senses to keep safe.
Senior Road Safety Officer Alan Hale said: "This message from such a celebrated cyclist and national hero gives credence to the message that my team have been pushing for years.
Cycle helmets are widely regarded as reducing impact speed by 12 mph when the head hits a hard object.
The council has been in the vanguard of cycle training nationally for many years and require anyone undertaking training with them to wear a helmet.
Whilst South Gloucestershire Council has achieved great success in reducing fatalities and seriously injury casualties on the roads and has already exceeded casualty targets set by the government to achieve by 2020, officers are concerned about an increase in adult cyclist casualties.
The training helps people to more readily understand safe positioning, ride planning and much more. Two one-hour sessions are delivered free by a nationally accredited Bikeability instructor.
A slightly longer course is available for adults who are not cyclists but would like to learn to ride a bike and become confident.
The council continue to provide training for children through schools and school holiday courses.


The Sokoto State Government has earmarked N1.4 billion for the completion of Murtala Muhammad Specialist Hospital in Sokoto.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the state Commissioner of Health, Dr Balarabe Kakale, disclosed this in Sokoto on Tuesday while fielding questions from newsmen on the second anniversary of Gov. Aminu Tambuwal.
Kakale said the projects include the completion of the phase two construction of 47 staff quarters, two wards and landscaping, among others.
The commissioner further disclosed that the state government would convert the hospital to a teaching hospital upon completion.
He said: "In the period under review, capital projects embarked upon by the present administration have reached various levels of completion.
"The state governor has given proper attention to the contractors handling various projects, with a view to complete them.
"The projects include repairs and renovation of maternity unit of Specialist Hospital, Sokoto, as well as General Hospitals in Illela and Wurno at N282 million.
Kakale also said that the state government has approved contracts for the renovation of general hospitals at Yabo and Dogon Daji at N201 million.
He also said that the state government had procured chemicals and sprayers worth N48.4 million for the elimination of mosquitoes as well as other insects in Sokoto metropolis.
On human resource for health, Kakale said that the state had during the period under review sponsored 32 medical doctors, 36 medical laboratory scientists, 318 general nurses and enrolled 22 pharmacists.
He further disclosed that the state government had procured assorted drugs and medicament worth N175 million.
Kakale explained that the drugs were used for the treatment of gastroenteritis, measles and cerebrospinal meningitis in the state.


Thank you for coming to TAN in search of "Bitcoin Atm Texas" online. Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far can be found on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which suggests the cost a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Many people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This restricts the number of bitcoins that are really circulating in the exchanges. In addition, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Thus, even the most diligent buyer couldn't buy all existing bitcoins. This scenario is just not to imply that markets aren't exposed to price manipulation, yet there is no need for substantial amounts of money to transfer market prices up or down. The smallest events on earth economy can affect the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive. Bitcoin is the principal cryptocurrency of the web: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, worldwide, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there's no authorities, banks, or any regulatory agencies. Therefore, it really is more immune to crazy inflation and corrupt banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting cash online outweigh the protection and privacy hazards. Security and seclusion can readily be reached by simply being bright, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't place your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be secured by removing any identity of possession from the wallets and thus keeping you anonymous. Since among the earliest forms of earning money is in cash lending, it is a fact which you can do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending sites now focus on Bitcoin, Some of these sites you happen to be demanded fill in a captcha after a particular period of time and are rewarded with a bit of coins for seeing them. It is possible to see the www.cryptofunds.co site to find some lists of of these sites to tap into the money of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin marketplaces have quite different dynamics. New ones are constantly popping up which means they don't have a lot of market data and historical perspective for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have quite inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to develop a reasonable investment strategy.
It should be difficult to get more little increases (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the way to read these Candlestick charts! And I found these two rules to be accurate: having little increases is more lucrative than trying to resist up to the peak. Most day traders follow Candlestick, therefore it is better to have a look at novels than wait for order confirmation when you believe the price is going down. Second, there's more volatility and reward in currencies that never have made it to the profitableness of sites like Coinwarz. It is definitely possible, but it must be able to understand opportunities irrespective of market behaviour. The market moves in relation to cost BTC … So even supposing it's in a BTC tendency down can make money by buying the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you will be okay. Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to explore possibilities for making huge ammonts of money with various kinds of online marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to endure the cryptocurrency marketplaces.Bitcoin structure provides an instructive example of how one might make a lot of money in the cryptocurrency marketplaces. Bitcoin is an outstanding intellectual and technical achievement, and it's created an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But very few people understand that and lose out on quite successful business models made available as a result of growing use of blockchain technology. When searching online forBitcoin Atm Texas, there are many things to think of.
Click here to visit our home page and learn more about Bitcoin Atm Texas. Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put in circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to create more. The mining process is what creates more of the coin. It may be useful to think about the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are precisely the same. Mining crypto coins means you'll really get to keep the total rewards of your efforts, but this reduces your likelihood of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members will have a higher possibility of solving a block, but the reward will be split between all members of the pool, predicated on the amount of "shares" won.
If you are thinking of going it alone, it is worth noting that the software configuration for solo mining can be more complex than with a swimming pool, and beginners would be probably better take the latter path. This alternative also creates a steady stream of revenue, even if each payment is small compared to entirely block the reward. Here is the coolest thing about cryptocurrencies; they do not physically exist anywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you examine a specific address for a wallet containing a cryptocurrency, there is absolutely no digital information held in it, like in the exact same way that the bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It's nothing more than a representation of worth, but there is no real tangible kind of that worth. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be confiscated or immobilized or audited by the banks and the law. They would not have spending limits and withdrawal restrictions imposed on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can determine how their riches will be managed. In the event of the fully functioning cryptocurrency, it may actually be dealt being a product. Supporters of cryptocurrencies say that form of online income is not controlled with a fundamental bank system and it is not thus susceptible to the whims of its inflation. Because there are a restricted number of items, this moneyis benefit is founded on market forces, letting homeowners to industry over cryptocurrency deals. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, The Affluence Network, and many others have already been designed as a non-fiat currency. Quite simply, its backers claim that there's "real" value, even through there is absolutely no physical representation of that value. The value grows due to computing power, that's, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU power via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time frame which is worth an ever diminishing amount of money or some sort of wages to be able to ensure the shortage. Each coin includes many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each component is called a satoshi. The individual who has mined the coin holds the address, and transfers it to a value is provided by another address, which is a "wallet" file stored on a computer. The blockchain is where the public record of all transactions lives.
The fact that there's little evidence of any increase in using virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal efforts to regulate it. The reason for this could be just that the market is too small for cryptocurrencies to warrant any regulatory effort. It truly is also possible that the regulators just do not comprehend the technology and its implications, anticipating any developments to act. If you are in search of Bitcoin Atm Texas, look no further than TAN.
You have probably heard this often where you often spread the great word about crypto. "It's not volatile? What goes on if the value accidents? " So far, many POS systems gives free transformation of fiat, relieving some concern, but until the volatility cryptocurrencies is resolved, most of the people will soon be reluctant to hold any. We have to find a way to struggle the volatility that's inherent in cryptocurrencies. For most users of cryptocurrencies it is not necessary to understand how the process functions in and of itself, but it is essentially important to understand that there is a procedure for mining to create virtual currency. Unlike currencies as we know them now where Authorities and banks can only choose to print endless quantities (I 'm not saying they are doing so, only one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining application, which solves the sophisticated algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation.


I'm Pregnant! Can I Get Insurance?
How much international insurance coverage is enough?
Expecting a child is an exciting time, but it also requires you to start realistically looking at your finances. Having a baby inside the Unites States can be very costly and the fees start even before childbirth, and continue through to delivery and after care. Delivering a child inside the US, for example, can cost anywhere from $3,000- $11,000 on average – and that is not taking into consideration complications. If you're visiting or studying inside the United States and find out you're pregnant, check your health insurance plan to confirm if it covers the maternity care you need.
If your current health insurance plan does not cover maternity related expenses, or you have no current coverage in place your options will be severely limited. The option of purchasing a plan that includes maternity coverage while pregnant will not be available in most cases. However, it will depend on your situation, location and insurance plan in question.
What options do you have? Let's take a look!
If you will be inside the United States for a short period of time while pregnant, there are some travel medical insurance plans that will provide coverage for complications due to pregnancy. While this is not full maternity coverage, it will cover you in the event that your pregnancy causes a medical emergency. Keep in mind that plans with this benefit will often have a timeframe in which this benefit can be used so make sure to review your policy details.
ACA compliant insurance plans do not exclude pre-existing conditions (and pregnancies fall in this category). This means that if you're already pregnant and you're eligible, you'll be able to receive maternity coverage with an ACA compliant plan. Keep in mind that your status as an international visitor along with the requirements of each state will vary. You will need to check the Health Insurance Marketplace during open enrollment (November 1- January 31) or see if you qualify for a special enrollment period.
If you're not able to obtain an insurance plan that covers your maternity expenses, here are a few options that can help ease the pain of high maternity bills.
Birthing centers are equipped to handle low-risk births, and have the capability to transfer mothers to a hospital in the event of complications. Birthing centers typically focus on natural births, without the use of doctors or epidurals. The cost of delivery at birth centers is typically between $3,000-$4,000.
Along with delivery fees, you must also consider prenatal and postnatal care- both of which can also become very expensive. A women's clinic is a great option for women who need an economical alternative. The cost of care at a women's clinic will vary on your income, so be sure to contact the clinic of your choice to get accurate pricing information.
If you're set on seeking care at a hospital, it might still be an option- just keep in mind that your medical costs will add up quickly. If you have a cesarean or run into any complications it could quickly add up to almost $45,000. The good news is that many hospitals will allow you to set up payment plans and negotiate the cost. Prior to delivery, make sure you call local hospitals and doctors to compare prices and confirm if they're able to arrange affordable payment plans.
Although it will bring your international activities to a halt, you should also explore the option of going home. Since the US is the most expensive country for medical care, this can save you money, especially if you have a national healthcare program back home. Consider the options above and contact your international student/scholar advisor to explore nearby options. If you're unable to find an affordable maternity plan, consider placing your trip on hold, returning home to have your child, and returning to the US in the future.
We are from India & delivery a baby into USA so please provide all the details accordingly & if you require any information from our side then please feel free to contact us.

Will I still be covered or not?
Some of our plans will offer coverage for maternity and pregnancy, if you become pregnant after the plan becomes effective. This is based on what your doctor states is your date of conception. If conception occurred before the plan became effective, then it would not be a covered benefit. I hope this helps and have a wonderful day!

Response Planning is Key to Surviving a Hack
Feb 20, 2017 | 9:54 am
When government agencies face a network breach, having a planned response protocol in place can make all the difference, according to industry experts.
"The first thing that they have to do is they have to really take a hard look at their incident response protocol," said Rob Potter, vice president of public sector at Symantec. He added that recovering from a breach can become significantly harder without a response plan in place.
Roger Barranco of Akamai said agencies need a "fallback plan."
Roger Barranco, director of global security operations at Akamai, said agencies and organizations should structure their most critical machines and systems into tiers of importance so that resources can be correctly allocated in the event of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks.
"The best way to defend against DDoS is to be prepared in advance," said Barranco. "The easiest thing to start with is understanding your fallback plan."
Agencies "also need to have processes and procedures in place for investigation and remediation tasks, such as responsibilities and delegation, documentation, status updates, communication channels and reporting, within their security team and at the management level," said FireEye principal consultant Matthew Dunwoody. "Organizations should also consider establishing a relationship or retainer with an outside organization or vendor, in the event that they want outside assistance."
Reaching out to industry partners to help develop plans and relationships to prepare for future hacks is also important. And the more breaches that occur, the more likely agencies are to start seeking out plans and advice. For example, after the 2015 breach, the Office of Personnel Management made a point of contacting security companies for strategy and planning advice.
"There are a lot of agencies where they have a lot of very proficient analysts, very proficient information security people, but they don't necessarily have the specific skills of incident response," Potter said, adding that industry partnership can work to fill these gaps.
Join the 2017 Akamai Government Forum on March 28 at the Grand Hyatt, Washington, D.C., to learn more.
"Just as with private industry, not all government organizations have the experience or expertise to respond to complex security incidents. Some just want a second set of eyes," said Dunwoody. "As a private company, we are apolitical, are able to leverage and share relevant intelligence more openly, and can provide immediate, hands-on expert support."
Potter explained that many government conversations with industry include discussion of both preventative measures and incident response.
"It's part of every conversation," Potter said. "You're not seeing conversations anymore about only this or only that."
"I don't think these are discrete, exclusive, or conflicting goals," said Dunwoody. "Remediating an attack often requires implementing new security controls, and a network designed to prevent and contain compromise is much easier to defend. These elements can feed into each other, as preventive controls provide alerts and impede attackers so that defenders have time to respond, and defenders searching for, and responding to, threats provide feedback to improve controls and detection."
Barranco added that often agencies focus more effort on the front-end protections than fallback plans, which will still work on most days, but not be able to handle a large-scale DDoS breach.
"The easy answer would be that you can never devote enough resources to this," said Potter. "We're always going to be outmanned."
However, Potter said that the past two or three years have seen a dramatic increase in agency competency and understanding of incident response, in large part due to training and awareness campaigns. He added that he has been very impressed with how agencies have taken the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and been able to identify the technologies and tools that will help them fulfill parts of those requirements.
Securing a 21st century government–from the data center to the cloud to the Web–means exercising greater control over the uncontrollable. The reality of today's instant access, always-on world means that a lot can go wrong. So, how can the new administration combat increasingly sophisticated cyber threats? Join the 2017 Akamai Government Forum on March 28 at the Grand Hyatt, Washington, D.C., to find out.

Bloggers are often responsible for lots of things; administrative work, marketing efforts, writing, managing your own home and sometimes even another job! It's a lot to handle and a lot of things to get done each day. Often bloggers end up focusing on all of the small details and the big projects and development work goes undone. By really determining where and how you spend your time you can make sure you making the best of it. By maximizing your time you are making your life less stressful and allowing your business to grow.
Keep lists, and have more than one. A productivity app works great for this. Keep a list for what you have to do today, this week, this month and even this year. If something never moves up on the list, chances are good it's not that important. Write down the date you add something to the list. This will give you an idea of how long it's really been around.
Determine how you prioritize. Some people like to do what is most difficult first in their day. Others want to do what could make them the most money first in the day. Pick a way to prioritize and stick with it.
Schedule time for email as the Internet can be a huge time waster. We often have no idea how long we spend online, and we can easily get distracted. A good way to manage your time online is to set a timer for 30 minutes. When it rings, you know exactly how much time you've spent on email and browsing, and you will not "lose" time as easily. What can start out in the name of "research" can often end up with a new pair of jeans and an hour wasted.
Schedule time for making proactive phone calls, and returning calls you've received. Playing phone tag can use up a lot of time and can decrease your productivity. Bundle your phone calls all at once so that you are not being disrupted from your work more than one time.
Give yourself transition time between activities. Scheduling activities one after another does not allow you ample time to finish what you are doing, and transition into your next task. Give yourself a few minutes buffer time in between meetings and calls to clear your desk, get some water, and feel calm and collected. Don't forget to compensate for time traveling between meeting location, even if it is just within your office.
Getting everything done as a blogger is always going to be challenging. There are never enough resources: time, space, and money in particular. By freeing up time, we can focus on things that are important to the success of the business, such as social media marketing. While social media marketing does not cost anything to use, the time invested must come from somewhere. By learning how to "create" time in our already busy days, you can add in social media marketing to your day and grow the success of your company.
I know that's hard, but from my experience, I don't think it's too hard to accomplish.. While we have had a lot of doubters, the speed at which we have crept up makes me far less suspect of this rally than some of the ones from September and October.

What are the 5 basic prayer?
What do you say before starting a prayer?
How long does it take to pray the Salah?
How many hours should we pray?
How long should it take to read namaz?
Each daily prayer has a different number of rakats per prayer: Fajr: 2 Rakat Sunnah, then 2 Rakat Fardh. Dhuhr: 4 Rakat Sunnah, then 4 Rakat Fardh, then 2 Rakat Sunnah, then 2 Rakat Nafl. Asr: 4 Rakat Sunnah, then 4 Rakat Fardh.
Pray at the proper time.
The five prayers are Fajr, Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha. They are at dawn, afternoon, in the mid-afternoon, at sunset, and at night, respectively. They are not at the same time each day, as they are timed by the sun, which changes path throughout the seasons.
Most Muslims can complete their prayers in three to five minutes, although pre-prayer ablutions, or ritual washing, can take almost as long. For each of the five prayers – pre-dawn, noon, afternoon, sunset, and night — Muslims have a few hours to make them, although some say prayers are best when made early.
All schools of thought agree that any given prayer cannot be performed before its stipulated time. Muslims pray five times a day, with their prayers being known as Fajr (dawn), Dhuhr (after midday), Asr (afternoon), Maghrib (after sunset), Isha (nighttime), facing towards Mecca.
IT IS INTERESTING: What are the three spiritual senses of Scripture and what does each explain?
It includes total 17 Rakats encompassing 4 Rakats Sunnah, 4 Rakats Fard, 2 Rakat Sunnah, 2 Rakat Nafil, 3 Witr, and 2 Rakat Nafl. If you offer this prayer, Allah will reward you.
The basic forms of prayer are adoration, contrition, thanksgiving, and supplication, abbreviated as A.C.T.S. The Liturgy of the Hours, the seven canonical hours of the Catholic Church prayed at fixed prayer times, is recited daily by clergy, religious, and devout believers.
We open the prayer by addressing God because he is the one we are praying to. Start by saying "Father in Heaven" or "Heavenly Father." We address Him as our Heavenly Father, because He is the father of our spirits. He is our creator and the one to whom we owe everything we have, including our lives.
The prayer itself can be done in as little as five minutes, and can be performed solo or with a group. It involves rakats — a sequence of movements and postures such as standing, bowing, kneeling and touching the ground with the forehead while reciting specific verses from the Quran.
How long should you pray? Pray as many hours a day as you possibly can. You can never spend too much time in prayer. There is no such thing as praying too much.
Salaah or namaz is an obligatory prayer performed by a practising Muslim five times a day. The namaz is performed early in the morning, afternoon, evening, near sunset and late evening. Each namaz lasts for between five to 10 minutes, and so cumulatively the prayers take up around 30 minutes in a day.

Q: Error during Eloquent Model Creation - mutator executes but mutated Date field not present in insert statement - Laravel 5.4 mySQL DATE format is Y-m-d
For localization reasons, users submit date fields to my Laravel 5.4 application in the d-m-Y form, which are saved to a detenutodal field in mySQL.
I used mutators to convert the two formats, in my Attore model, like this.
<?php
namespace App;

//use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Carbon\Carbon;

class Attore extends Model
{

    protected $dates = [
        'created_at',
        'updated_at',
        'deleted_at',
        'detenutodal'
    ];

    /**
     * detenutodal: DB Y-m-d => m-d-Y
     *
     * @param  date  $value
     * @return date
     */
    public function getDetenutodalAttribute($value)
    {
        return Carbon::parse($value)->format('d-m-Y');
    }

    /**
     * detenutodal: m-d-Y => DB Y-m-d
     *
     * @param  date  $value
     * @return date
     */
    public function setDetenutodalAttribute($value)
    {
        return Carbon::parse($value)->format('Y-m-d');
    }
}

as you may see, the detenutodal attribute is added to the $dates to make it into a Carbon instance (not declaring it seems to make no difference. Actually I was unable to have detenutodal behave like a Carbon instance, and I had to explicitly call Carbon::parse)
I create a new Attore model in AttoreController like this:
$this->validate(request(), [
    'detenutodal' =>'nullable|date_format:"d-m-Y"',
    ]);

Attore::create(request()->all());

The detenutodal field is correctly validated,  and I am sure the mutator is called as I dd'ed its invocation. the correct detenutodal value is passed to it - e.g. 30-06-1943 and it returns 1943-06-30.
but the create fails with this error:
SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1364 Field 'detenutodal' doesn't have a default value (SQL: insert into `attores` (`nome`, `enteopersona`, `paternita`, `maternita`, `annonascita`, `luogonascita`, `residenza`, `professione`, `gradoistruzione`, `updated_at`, `created_at`) values (Aminto Pestalozzi, persona, Agenore Pestalozzi, Giacinta Tortelazzi, 1910, Caorso in Strà' lva', Via Morigi 4, Caorso, Bracciante, Scuola professionale, 2017-05-18 14:23:22, 2017-05-18 14:23:22))

As you may see, mySQL complains that detenutodal has no default value as detenutodal has completely disappeared from the query, while I would expect that the mutator correctly updated the field before the invocation of Attore::create and added it to the query.
Can anyone shed some light?
Thanks

A: Edit : Your mutator is wrong.
public function setDetenutodalAttribute($value)
{
    $this->attributes['detenutodal'] = Carbon::parse($value)->format('Y-m-d');
}

You need to set the fillable property.
protected $fillable = ['detenutodal'];

or set the guarded to so
protected $guarded = [];

You allow nullable value for the date, is this field nullable?

A: detenutodal field is null and has not default value in mysql engine please start from controller dump your detenutodal field first to check if it's has value or not then check if value is datetime value or not .

A: You didn't explicitly allow detenutodal field to be "filled".
Laravel has a security mechanism by default against Mass Assignment
This should fix it.
protected $fillable = ['detenutodal'];

Kayaking solo from Shetland to the Channel
Caspar Henderson
Shetland with tirricks
After kayaking solo in a November storm to a square mile of rock called Eilean a'Chleirich in the Summer Isles off the north-west coast of Scotland, and camping overnight on top of its cliffs, David Gange awoke to revelation. To the west he could see almost the entire length of the Outer Hebrides. To the north-east the mainland, with its distinctive peaks, stretched towards Cape Wrath. The British Isles may be diminutive on a global scale but, Gange realised, 'just how small they really are depends on how you measure them'. Merely the first hundred miles of longitude on the mainland's north-west coast hold thousands of miles of coastline, with mountains, bays, estuaries, cliffs and islets — 'enough to repay a lifetime's exploration'. At that moment, he writes, the 'need' to undertake the journey described in The Frayed Atlantic Edge was born.
And so begins a journey by kayak down the western littoral of the British Isles. Paddling from Shetland to Cornwall over the course of the seasons, and taking in Orkney, the Western Isles, Sutherland, Skye, Argyll, Ulster, Connacht, Munster, and Bardsey Island in North Wales, Gange is both extraordinarily intrepid and deeply attentive to all he encounters, and his prose runs, breaks and shifts with the force and beauty of the seas that bear him. Near the great cliffs at Eshaness in Shetland, he describes how the swell of the water
was immensely peaceful, its phases gentle and unthreatening as I moved through four dimensions with every stroke. But at the bottom of the cliffs, the swell seemed to come from all directions at once: unpredictable and disorienting.
Paddling into what had once been a volcano
it felt strangely appropriate that in a spot where I was separated from writhing magma only by time, I should be plunging and leaping with violent swell, head rhythmically falling beneath where my feet had been.
By contrast, on the west coast of the Outer Hebrides, his gaze, and the reader's, is captivated by the colours and shapes of the land:
A few feet of marram [grass] can fix loose sand in place, and in its shelter the carnival begins: red fescue, sand sedge, buttercup and primrose… Cloud clings to the high peat ground inland, while the sun shines more often on these low, flower-clad expanses. Looking up from the kayak even at the end of summer, it's as if the foreground were painted in children's colours: a shock of vivid greens, yellows, pinks and oranges. Behind is the sombre painting in night-time hues of brown, blue-grey and black.
If this were just another book by what the Scottish poet Kathleen Jamie once described, perhaps a little too unkindly, as a 'lone enraptured male', it would still be pretty good. But The Frayed Atlantic Edge is much more than that. Gange teaches modern history at the University of Birmingham, and his interest in the people and communities who once lived, and live, along these coasts is as great as his passion for the physical environment and non-human life.
During his journey, and in this account of it, he spends a lot of time — much of it during rest stops while on the water — reading up on the human past. He also talks to archaeologists, ecologists, naturalists, geographers, anthropologists, artists, poets, novelists and musicians, bringing their voices to the page. The book is illustrated with arresting and beautiful photographs by the author and fine maps.
Gange argues that the significance of the western edge of the archipelago has been consistently underestimated in the stories we tell ourselves about life in these islands. 'The whole shape of British history is transformed by granting the Atlantic coasts a central rather than a marginal role.' These places thrived during the Dark Ages, he writes, and are enjoying a cultural and linguistic renaissance today. 'Recovering the voices of the small-scale fisherman, the coastal crofter and the leaders of threatened communities is among the best methods we have of building histories that aren't triumphalist propaganda…'
We live in fluid, fissiparous times. Two thirds of the members of the political party that chose Boris Johnson to be prime minister told pollsters that they would accept Scottish independence as a price of Britain leaving the European Union. The future in these islands looks likely to be ruptured and rearranged by powerful forces surfacing from both within and without. If, as the philosopher Bruno Latour argues, we need a new politics of 'the terrestrial' to confront a climate crisis that will not stop at any wall or customs declaration counter, then work such as Gange's, which brings the reader closer to some realities of land and sea, and to the past and present lives intertwined with those realities, is worth attention for its deeper argument as well as its thrilling surface.

Horszowski Trio brings virtuosity and finesse to Winter Chamber Festival
Sat Jan 21, 2023 at 2:06 pm

The Northwestern Winter Chamber Music Festival kicked off its final weekend with the series debut of the excellent Horszowski Trio at Pick-Staiger Concert Hall on Friday night. The New York-based trio — the ensemble in residence at the Longy School of Music — delivered a master class of effortless elegance and consistency in a program framed by a pair of 19th-century piano trios.
The first, Bedřich Smetana's Trio in G Minor, was composed in response to the death of the composer's beloved eldest daughter. On its face, the piece is a fraught expression of grief marked by knotted, sinuous themes and jagged rhythms. But those thornier elements quickly give way to more introspective undercurrents that are the tender heart of the work.
Rather than play too heavily into either affect, the Horszowski Trio took a middle-of-the-road interpretation, softening the gnarled moments and filtering the sentimental ones in a technically stunning if somewhat anodyne reading. Leading off at a surprising clip, given the Moderato assai tempo marking, the trio brought a sense of fluidity to the movement that downplayed the bounciness of the 6/8 meter.
The middle movement, often played as a bristling scherzo, took on a lopsided, off-kilter gait on account of a quasi-rubato tempo throughout the folkish opening theme. The ensemble nevertheless cohered marvelously in pacing and dynamics alike. In one particularly soaring passage in the second alternativo, Ole Akahoshi's buttery cello melded seamlessly with Jesse Mills's plush violin tone.
Pianist Reiko Aizawa provided tireless rhythmic locomotion throughout the roiling Presto. The musicians were at their most revelatory as the restive finale melted into a hymnic reverie. Aizawa's plainspoken chords conjured a portrait of childlike innocence, but as the strings joined to deliver the major-key interpolation of the first theme, that image blossomed into a poignantly sober statement of acceptance.
The Horszowskis' blend of expressive nuance and restrained pathos proved a stylistic match for Robert Schumann's Piano Trio No. 1 in D Minor, in the program's latter half. The dark-hued first movement, "Mit Energie und Leidenschaft," is a spiritual sibling to the opening of the Smetana trio. The stakes aren't so high in this music, though, so the Horszowskis' supple and unforced approach illuminated Schumann's graceful melodies and ensured continuity throughout the work's elided phrase endings and unexpected harmonic detours.
And yet, the first movement's most captivating moment arrives with a tonal shift — from warm lyricism into a crystalline sheen in which violin and cello shiver on the melody sul ponticello while the piano murmurs soft-pedaled chords beneath.
The interior movements, though technically precise, were on the tepid side. At the outset of "Langsam, mit inniger Empfindung," Aizawa's matter-of-fact piano chords seemed a perfunctory accompaniment to the breathlessness of Mills's wistful violin solo. The players deftly sustained tension as the third movement slipped into the fourth in a thrilling culmination of the program. As the ensemble neared the movement's end, they extended the accelerando well past the composer's marked directive, bringing some previously unforeseen heat to the work's resonant conclusion.
At the center of Friday's program were short works assembled under the title of Fantasiestücke Project. Commissioned to commemorate the Horszowski Trio's tenth anniversary in 2021, the three pieces, each by a different American composer, pay homage to the influence of Schumann and his fantasias.
The first, Remembrance, by genre-spanning composer and clarinetist Derek Bermel, opens with a simple, descending motif. Though initially diatonic, each successive restatement of the theme cascades into a different harmonic realm — by turns reminiscent of Gershwin, Debussy and Hindemith — before returning to the unadorned major-key capo.
By contrast, David Fulmer's Eldorado explores a microcosm within a limited range of timbres by exploiting the orchestration of that turnkey moment in Schumann's First Trio when, in the first movement, strings and piano turn suddenly ethereal and glassy. Though the two works otherwise have little in common aesthetically, the Horszowskis illuminated Fulmer's Schumannesque proclivity for subverting expected arrivals.
The last installment, Paul Chihara's Fantasy "Little Red Dragonfly," nods both to the composer's Japanese heritage — the piece's theme is based on the popular Japanese tune "Aka Tombo" by composer Kosaku Yamada — and to Schumann, whose Introduction and Concert Allegro for Piano and Orchestra, Op. 134, is often attributed as the provenance of the Japanese tune's melody.
The Horszowskis supplied ample verve and rich color to the Fantasy's cinematic palette, which spanned pizzicato grooves and bouts of unalloyed romanticism. Clearly, the ensemble had no trouble extending its expressive eloquence to the music of their simpatico contemporaries. A noteworthy feat, indeed.
The Northwestern Winter Chamber Music Festival concludes Sunday afternoon with the Jupiter Quartet performing music by Mozart, Florence Price, William Bolcom and Brahms. music.northwestern.edu
