Well broadly speaking to balance a shaft, mass must be added or removed at certain angles. The concept being that the centre of gravity and rotational centre of the shaft will be equal when the shaft is balanced.
Can a shaft be balanced at several speeds or across a speed range?
If a shaft is made from a uniform density material the whole way round its radius and it was perfectly rigid then it could be considered in balance at any speed. However it is not possible to produce a shaft with uniform density round its radius and along its length, further it is not possible to produce a shaft that is perfectly rigid, therefore at different speeds the shaft would bend in different ways. At certain frequencies certain modes would be excited, thus the physical shaft centre points, at certain positions, would move and the centre of gravity of the shaft would move as well at these points. At these points, which are themselves moving along the shaft continually as the speed changes. For this reason it is not possible to balance a shaft for all speeds, the balance is linked to the dynamics of the whole system, not just the shaft itself.
What sensors are required to perform shaft balancing?
Quite simply a once per revolution tachometer signal and at least a uni-axis accelerometer, it would be recommend to use two uni-axis accelerometers mounted at a balance measurement position in the perpendicular and vertical planes with respect to the shaft.
What is a balance measurement position?
A balance measurement position is normally on or at a shaft bearing mounting position. Of course it is not actually on the shaft, but near enough for an accelerometer to detect the vibrations from the shaft through the bearing.
What is a balance plane?
A balance plane is simply a position on a shaft that the centre of the shaft and the centre of gravity of the shaft are being matched. That is you are trying to achieve a zero imbalance at that position.
So what is the difference between a measurement position & a balance plane?
Sometimes the relationship between measurement positions and balance planes is misunderstood.
The Prosig DATS Balance Analysis software is a true multi-plane balance software suite.
That means there is no limit to the number of balance planes that can be defined.
The diagram below shows two measurement positions, often called measurement planes and two balance planes.
Note that the measurement planes and the balance planes are not in the same position.
The rule that must be followed is that there must be at least one measurement plane for each balance plane.
DATS Multiplane Balancehttp://prosig.com/portfolio/dats-multiplane-balance/Multiplane Balancing analyzes the baseline vibrations and then the vibrations from adding a trial mass (inertia) at each balance plane in turn. The software guides the user throughout the entire process.

As a consequence of the success of present-day cancer treatment, radiotherapy-induced vascular disease is emerging. This disease is caused by chronic inflammatory activation and is likely orchestrated in part by microRNAs. In irradiated versus nonirradiated conduit arteries from patients receiving microvascular free tissue transfer reconstructions, irradiation resulted in down-regulation of miR-29b and up-regulation of miR-146b. miR-29b affected inflammation and adverse wound healing through its targets pentraxin-3 and dipeptidyl-peptidase 4. In vitro and in vivo, we showed that miR-29b overexpression therapy, through inhibition of pentraxin-3 and dipeptidyl-peptidase 4, could dampen the vascular inflammatory response.

The premise of the series is that the mathematician Hari Seldon spent his life developing a branch of mathematics known as psychohistory, a concept of mathematical sociology. Using the laws of mass action, it can predict the future, but only on a large scale. Seldon foresees the imminent fall of the Galactic Empire, which encompasses the entire Milky Way, and a dark age lasting 30,000 years before a second great empire arises. Seldon's calculations also show there is a way to limit this interregnum to just one thousand years. To ensure the more favorable outcome and reduce human misery during the intervening period, Seldon creates a foundation of talented artisans and engineers at the extreme end of the galaxy, ostensibly to preserve and expand on humanity's collective knowledge, and thus become the foundation for a new galactic empire. But actually to place a society in a way shown by his calculations to bring around the desired outcome (the Seldon Plan), he also establishes a "second foundation" of psychohistorians, of which little is known, to build on his work further and to keep the better known "first" foundation on its intended course.
So, the first foundation was estabilished on Terminus. And... we have a poetical and fictional information that Ambient Art Foundation was also estabilished there to preserve the good music.

Last night I was playing my friend Big Lou who is the 2nd best player I know. On Sunday night we played 7 games of 8 ball and he beat me 4-3. Last night we played another 7 games and I beat him 5-2. After we were done he was telling me that all I need to work on is my positioning cause I pocket the balls really well he said. My positioning is decent but I need to learn how to use more english then I am use to.
For example: A ball down past the head string about 3 inches to the rail and about 3 inches over to the right from the spot. The cue ball is all the way down the table past the foot string by the oppisit pocket. Now I know to use some right side english to get the cue ball back down the table a little above the head string and the same side of the table where I just pocketed the ball. Sometimes I am good at that but other times I dont get enough spin to kick it off the 2 rails to get it in the general area where I am.
Is there a good way to practice positioning or just keep playing myself and try and get position?
I teach my grandson, to rack 3balls break take cue in hand and try to run out. when he has sussfuly done t5his drill , I have him add a ball ect. try this for a while. remember t5o look ball in the hole!!!!! OLD MAN STICK p. s. my grandson is only 12yr but has won 3 14yr and under tourny!!!!!
hey chuck, here we go again. first of all, i know this will sound boring, but get used to shooting shots with a center ball hit. if you don't do this now, you will become addicted to the spin and will end up using it when you don't need it. it's not too late, but it takes discipline and practice. I like sticks drill using 3 balls and adding one after each successful run. let me elaborate a bit on what he suggested. take three balls and throw them out randomly on the table. take ball in hand and run them out. do this until you get out 3 times in a row, and then add a ball and repeat. if and when you can do this drill with 3,4,5,6,7,8, and nine balls on the table, start over with the 3 balls, but run them in rotation or numbered order. and don't think for one second that because you ran 3 balls three times in a row for a month that you don't have to start with three balls anymore.
something else that i recommend. rack up all 15 balls and break'em up like you were playing 8 ball. randomly pocket all balls with a center ball hit, not necessarly playing position, but as you pocket the balls be SURE to watch the cue ball and where it travels on different shots. this exercise will not only show you cue ball paterns, but also help you ball pocketing ability.
where do you live? it sounds like you could use a few lessons. check with the houseman at your local pool hall, maybe he can suggest somebody.
I would say about 80% of my shots are center ball hits and i just use the angles to my advantage and speed of the cue ball. i guess that really is the only way to get a hang of how the cueball moves and how to gain position.
there are many setups you can create to help you understand your game. notice,,i said "understand your game", not "learn to play position". there is a difference. here's one setup.
pocket the OB (5ball) in the corner and try to position the ball at all the diamonds on the table. disregard the rack. you will learn more about yourself. i think you will also end up using less english than you think you need, as you progress over time.
They never told me to use more english. just try and get better position. by either looking at shot selection a little more or deal with a harder shot if i take the easier shot first. I am very comfortable with my english and after playing the last 2 days for 5 hours i can see my positioning getting a lil better. In a little while i am going to look at that article and probably print it and put it in my book of pool. Thats what i call it anyways. I have to get another 3 ring binder becasue i ran out of room.
I don't know, but I've heard that the Kama Sutra offers some good insight into positioning.
don't know, but I've heard that the Kama Sutra offers some good insight into positioning.
Now that is the best advise Ive heard yet!!!
well i tried that Karma Sutra and it really didnt do anything for me.
i need better position skills too. I do drills to see how the cb will react on certain type hits and ball speeds. I try to divide the table into zones and get the cb into those zones. Right now my zones are big, as I get better, they will get smaller.
My gut feeling tells me that position skills come the same way that shooting skills come: time on the table.
I have a long way to go . When I am doing drills, I practice on certian things related to ball speed, tangent lines etc.
When I am playing i do not think about what I practiced. I look at the angle line of the shot and where I want the cb to go, get down on the ball and shoot. If I miss a shot in a game, I set it up in practice, and same way with a position error, to find out how to make it next time.
I used to worry about lots of pool things. When the light came on and I started doing things this way, pool became a very relaxing and fun activity.

Q: Why is my php file unable to locate external files (image,css...) when using RewriteRule? I am using following RewriteRules :
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ page.php?p=$1
RewriteRule ^e/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ edit.php?p=$1

The first one works fine : when typing mysite.com/id it loads mysite.com/page.php?p=id on server side.
The second one is working as well : when I type mysite.com/e/id it loads mysite.com/edit.php?p=id (as expected). But in that case edit.php can't loacte any external files like my css file.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="style.css" />

When doing either :
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../style.css" />

Or simply removing the direcory in the RewriteRule like :
RewriteRule ^e_([a-zA-Z0-9]+)$ edit.php?p=$1

it fixes that problem.
Now I don't understand why my edit.php is unable to locate external files even thought it loads on the correct path on server-side (mysite.com/) and not like the url displays in an extra directory (in this case mysite.com/e/ ).

A: You can use a base url for all the site's paths, like this:
<base href="http://yoursite.com/blog/" />

or
<base href="/blog/" />

And then writing relative paths from the base's:
...

Plus, you have to be extra careful with those "accept all" patterns, as they may conflict with the stylesheets, images and the rest of media if not used properly. Either appending an extension to the patterns or excluding media could be possible fixes.

A: you have to write full path not the relative path when using mod_rewite

Every situation leading to a divorce is unique; comparing one person's experience to another is not recommended. However, there is definitely a right and a wrong way to proceed. There are a few common mistakes that can be avoided in an effort to make the process run as smoothly as possible.
Seek an outlet for your sadness, pain, and anger that is not your spouse or your attorney. It's temping to let what you're feeling fuel your decision process, but your separation and divorce agreement is not the place in which to attempt to settle any scores. You need clarity of purpose and of vision so you can make the decisions that will be most beneficial for you and your children (if you have them).
This is not the time to engage in "creative accounting." Produce honest and accurate information on your assets and your debt, as well as an accurate accounting of your family's budget and any future expenses that may be incurred. If you are discovered hiding assets or failing to disclose them, you could be subject to a monetary fine or other sanctions. In short, this is NEVER a good idea.
Once you decide to divorce, every decision you make will eventually have tax implications. It's important that you bear this in mind when making determinations about transfers of money, property or investments. Your divorce attorney should be familiar with the tax implications of child support, alimony or anything else in question during the process.
This seems like an obvious one, but because divorce is often fraught with high emotion, it's important to keep the best interests of the children in the forefront, and not to put them in the middle of your disputes with your spouse. Obviously, their emotional well-being is critical, as is providing for their livelihood. Keep the overall picture in mind as you and your spouse embark on negotiations.
When you divorce, the idea is to properly divide assets equitably, and that can be tricky if you haven't properly valued them. Getting to keep your house may seem like a "win," but unless you're still able to pay for the mortgage after your divorce, this is may not be the win it seems. You could be driven further into debt that would add significant financial worry to an already difficult recovery.
Your ex could be entitled to your insurance or retirement account if you forget to update your beneficiary information on wills, retirement account or insurance. Consult an attorney before changing any beneficiary designations, as you may be required to keep your spouse as a beneficiary in some cases until the divorce.
Perhaps most importantly, don't forget to explore ALL of your options before beginning the divorce process in earnest. There are several different ways in which to achieve the dissolution of your marriage. Take your time and evaluate which best suits you and the personality of your spouse, that is in line with your needs and the needs of your children. The end goal is to reach a fair and equitable settlement for both parties, while keeping the best interests of the children in mind so the new version of your family can move forward peacefully.

'Minista and Coach' mental health podcast launches first episode with live session in Ridgewood
By Angélica Acevedo
Photo credit: Minista Jazz
Minista Jazz and Coach D, the hosts of "Minista and Coach Podcast LIVE @ Much Different," launched their one-of-a-kind show about mental health on Monday — or, as they call it, "Much Different Monday."
"Everybody has a brain. Everyone has a mind," Coach D told QNS, reciting the show's first message.
"Mental health is an everybody issue, it's not about those that have a mental illness; it's about all of us that have a brain and a mind," Jazz said, explaining even further the meaning behind Coach D's words.
Monday's live recording session took place in an intimate, dimly lit space in Ridgewood's H0L0 venue at 1090 Wyckoff Ave.
Jazz and Coach D sat on their couches in a '90s-throwback set comprised of a framed image of a cassette tape, a Rubik's cube on top of stacked VHS tapes of movies like "The Lion King" and "The Mask," and background music of classic Hip Hop tunes.
The duo gave the audience a sense of who they are by talking about their day and the public figures who have impacted them, such as Oprah Winfrey, Pat Summitt and Maya Angelou. They also shared the stage with Lil Xtra, a rapper with a compelling story about using music to help him deal with the tragic loss of his baby niece, and Bridget Barkan, a musical healer.
Throughout the night, Jazz and Coach D also invited the audience to participate in some of the practices that they've cultivated such as breathing exercises and a way to check in on themselves and those around them called "What's your temp?"
"There's a scale, and the scale goes from one to 10," Jazz explained. "One is amazing, like nothing is wrong in the world, at all, everything is perfect. And then 10 is for when you're feeling like —"
"Like you need Jesus, Buddha, Allah, all of them," Coach D said, finishing Jazz's train of thought.
Jazz and Coach D are both certified in Mental Health First Aid, which is part of the city's ThriveNYC initiative to train 250,000 New Yorkers in what they call "CPR for mental health."
Jazz shared that thanks to the certification process, she learned that depression and anxiety are the number one diagnosed mental illnesses in America. But, according to Coach D, an important aspect of the issue is that many people don't even get diagnosed or are aware of their condition.
"In specific communities, it's even further under-reported," Jazz said. "In the LGBTQIA+, under-reported. In the black community, under-reported. In the brown community, under-reported severely. There's tons of stigma."
According to Jazz and Coach D, who are both Brooklyn natives, there is a direct connection with "what happens around us and within us."
This is why their podcast — which also offers commentary about pop culture, sports and the news — is "culturally synchronistic."
"What we mean when we say a 'culturally synchronistic' approach, we [mean that we] want to be able to talk about mental health so that [it will] encourage people to speak up about it so people who they know can hear them," Jazz said.
Jazz believes that through the authentic entertainment (or "edutainment," as she calls it) on the "Much Different" podcast, people will be able to heal and come to terms with who they are.
Although she's worked in the world of hairstyling, education and politics, Jazz feels that she can do more for the community by amplifying their voices through entertainment.
"Because it's not that people need to be fixed, it's just that they need to know that they're not alone," she said.
Coach D, on the other hand, is new to the radio and podcast world.
The full-time basketball coach and trainer created the 100 Coaches Certified initiative based on ThriveNYC's mental health certifications, so that she can teach fellow coaches and athletes the importance of the issue even in the sports industry.
She has certified about 50 coaches so far, and is teaching two more free classes on Nov. 16 and Dec. 14. More information can be found on her Instagram page @GetFitFlyRight.
"I want to train my community," Coach D said. "I'm from Brownsville. I'm from the projects — mental health doesn't look like me. I want to be able to equip my people, as well as myself, about how to be in a mental space that doesn't keep you in constant fear, worry, anxiety or depression."

Like a magician's assistant entering a magic box, my father's watch vanished inside a high school gym locker while I worked the lane, shooting hoops, for a moment becoming the ball players he admired, before the times we got along could be measured in minutes. I interrogated the open locks whose hooks rose into shrugs. Everything around me seemed to play keep-away. Years later and absence is still a bracelet of flesh worn under those replacements.

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a nice weekend. It's still fairly warm here, so I stayed inside and piddled around in my studio. I made a few cards, did some organizing and cleaning. It was a quiet weekend and sometimes I like it like that. Today I'm sharing a new baby card. I reached waaaay in the back of my CTMH bag and found this kit. I just love the little booties!
Thanks for visiting...Have a wonderful Monday!
I am new to your blog, but I just had to say that I love all of your cards! They are so elegant with a very soft touch.
Barb, this is sooo cute! I remember this paper. In fact, I think I have some of it still. Great job!
Beautiful, Barb! Love the touch with the lining in the envelope, too. Have a wonderful week!
This is so darling Barb. I totally remember that kit from CTMH.
Your card is totally adorable, I love it!
This is so cute! Don't be surprised if you see something that looks like this one day on my blog... :) I'll have to give you a shout-out like you did Debbie Olson!


SURAT: In charge postmaster at Chikhli post office was caught red-handed accepting a bribe of Rs 5,000 on Thursday for releasing payment of Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employement Guarantee Act (NREGA). Kiran Jain, the in charge post master, was trapped by anti corruption bureau (ACB), Navsari.
Minesh Patel, a contractor of NREGA approached ACB and complained that the postmaster was not releasing money of the people working under NREGA which was released by district administration. In his complaint Patel, who is working at a road construction site at Chikhli, earlier paid Rs 2,000 to Jain to release money of the labourers. But for releasing Rs 42,611 payment, he was demanding Rs 5,000 bribe.
To curb corruption and ensure that money under NREGA reaches beneficiaries, payment by cash was stopped and instead cheques are issued by district administration which are then sent to the local post office. After cheques are cleared, the money gets deposited in beneficiaries' account. But, Jain used to keep the cheques issued by district administration with him and intentionally delay deposit in accounts, the complaint stated.
Following the complaint, a trap was laid and Patel reached Chikhli post office to pay the bribe. No sooner Jain took it and put it in his pouch lying on his office table, he was nabbed.

Ohio sheriff to update probe into late president's sword
By DAN SEWELL Associated Press
Nov 6, 2019 at 5:29 AM Nov 6, 2019 at 7:49 AM
CINCINNATI (AP) — An Ohio sheriff plans to update the investigation into the ownership of a sword wielded in the American Revolution and then by a future U.S. president in the War of 1812.
Hamilton County Sheriff Jim Neil scheduled a news conference Wednesday about the sword linked to William Henry Harrison and before him, his future father-in-law, Continental Army Col. John Cleves Symmes. Police in Connecticut seized the sword last month, just hours before it was going up for auction with a $15,000 minimum bid.
Members of the Harrison-Symmes Memorial Foundation some 15 miles west of Cincinnati suspect it is a historical sword that disappeared 40 years ago from the Cincinnati Historical Society.
The would-be seller says he believes his sword is authentic, and the Cincinnati sword was a copy.

High reliability organising in healthcare: still a long way left to go

Over 20 years ago, in its enduringly impactful report To Err is Human, the US Institute of Medicine (IOM) claimed that healthcare is not unique among high-risk, high-reliability industries, pointing out that it too is concerned with learning how to prevent, detect, recover and learn from mistakes and accidents.1 That observation was based on research conducted by an interdisciplinary group at the University of California at Berkeley who were 'curious about the seemingly theory-defying ability of some organizations to avoid catastrophic operational outcomes despite operating technologies that were fraught with exceptionally high levels of risk, uncertainty, hazard, and public intolerance of failures'.2 Although functionally different, these 'high reliability organizations' (HROs) achieved exceptionally high and sustained levels of performance as a consequence of deliberate, ongoing, organisational efforts characterised by the five principles of: preoccupation with failure, reluctance to simplify interpretations, sensitivity to operations, commitment to resilience and deference to expertise.3 HROs are adaptive organisational forms for complex environments; the ways in which they organise are considered to be a 'dormant infrastructure for performance improvement in all types of organizations'.4 HRO-related research has proliferated in the last two decades and has had remarkable impact on research, policy and practice across multiple industries—especially healthcare.2
Interventions to improve healthcare quality and safety grounded on HRO theory have become commonplace, with professional governing bodies such as The Joint Commission, the accreditation agency for hospitals in the USA, going so far as to propose that all healthcare institutions adopt HRO principles.5 Yet, little is known about how these interventions have fared, with a particular dearth in understanding the mechanisms of change that might explain more or less successful adoption. Organisational research on change in healthcare is more often focused on what has changed, rather than on how or why,6 and given that decades of change management research have consistently found that most change efforts fail,7 understanding the mechanisms by which these HRO principles originating from outside of healthcare are (or are not) successfully adopted is critically important.
The publication in this issue of a qualitative study exploring the enactment of a HRO-inspired set of interventions (called 'Caring Safely') at a Canadian hospital provides insight into both the processes of organising aimed at establishing high reliability via this specific intervention, and the dynamics of safety and change that affect the enactment of HRO principles in healthcare more generally.8 Through observations and interviews with a broad sample of professionals engaged in the intervention, Rotteau and colleagues explored how participants understood and experienced HRO principles, whether and how they observed their execution in practice and how the formal Caring Safely programme had facilitated their enactment.8 A thematic analysis revealed that, although there were inconsistent understandings and enactments of HRO principles across participants, the Caring Safely suite of interventions had largely taken hold, particularly among nurses. Participants acknowledged greater uptake of practices aimed at the three HRO principles of preoccupation with failure, reluctance to simplify interpretations and sensitivity to operations. At the same time, participants reported significantly less improvement in behaviours aimed at strengthening flexible decision structures (based on the HRO principle of 'deference to expertise'), and surprisingly did not seem to recognise these intervention efforts as improving the hospital's commitment to resilience (the fifth HRO principle), despite the intervention's various training programmes inherently promoting the competence, efficacy and growth that constitute resilient responding.
Beyond highlighting reactions to, and implications of, this specific bundle of interventions, these findings also highlight important gaps that remain more generally in the depth and breadth of HRO enactment in healthcare. Despite significant enthusiasm and acknowledgement of the value of adopting HRO principles and other tools for advancing patient safety, most efforts to enact these principles remain relatively superficial, isolated endeavours.9 Too often, we see attempts to enact HRO principles through a scattershot set of activities that are neither clear in their conceptual understanding of the fundamental building blocks of reliability nor consistent in their implementation across the various components of the healthcare system.
Viewing HRO with a shallow depth of field
HRO interventions in healthcare frequently (and often exclusively) make use of formal training efforts to alter individuals' perceptions and practices. Although didactic training familiarises individuals with the language of high reliability organising, it often fails to fundamentally alter behaviour and can lead to shallow, simplistic understanding of the mere 'words' of high reliability, rather than their essential meaning. This shallow engagement can fuel a dismissal of fundamental concepts that have proved effective in other settings. This was revealed in Rotteau and colleagues' findings when respondents rejected HRO concepts such as reluctance to simplify ('We definitely don't have a reluctance to simplify') or preoccupation with failure ('Preoccupation with failure, I think, needs to be reworked'), perceiving them to be incorrect or irrelevant.8
This lack of depth stems in part from healthcare's insularity and tepid engagement with ideas coming from outside disciplines. To reject outright a concept such as preoccupation with failure or confidently claim to not have (or want) a reluctance to simplify implies a lack of interest in learning from wisdom honed in other fields, and reflects a broader trend of discounting ideas or solutions simply because they were not created within the medical professions.10 Safe, reliable performance is not a concern unique to healthcare, and so safety and reliability practices cannot be considered 'special cases' of medical care. Rather, medical care is a special case of safety and reliability, which arise in a range of settings where there is high interdependence of organisational system components and where the environment is continuously changing. Failure to recognise the value of learning from outside disciplines has stifled progress in patient safety,9 particularly when compared with other industries such as US commercial aviation (which reduced fatalities 95% in the past two decades11). Rather than working together with those in the organisational and social sciences, human factors or systems engineering, we frequently observe healthcare organisations opting for a medical, scientific-bureaucratic model of safety and reliability under the control of clinician administrators.9 By contrast, aviation has long adopted multi-institutional and multidisciplinary approaches to safety: it would be unimaginable for an aircraft accident to be reviewed and analysed solely by an in-house team of flight crew members, in the way we have come to accept in medical error or adverse event analyses.
At the same time, healthcare's relatively shallow engagement with HRO is reflected in the focus of many interventions on training individuals as the locus of resilience and reliability, at the expense of more systemic capacity building. One of the most central conclusions of the 20-year-old IOM report was to focus on the system rather than on individuals. Yet, there remains a strong emphasis on individuals as both the source and solution of reliability failures and errors. Perhaps this is not surprising—the report is titled 'To Err is Human' (emphasis added), not so subtly spotlighting individual humans (and their errors), despite the report's emphasis on broader systemic or cultural challenges to safe, reliable performance. The roots of resilient performance are not purely individualistic—nor purely systemic—but rather emerge in the myriad interactions among people, processes and practices that emerge as performance is enacted every day in organisations. Superficially engaging with resilience as solely an individual's tenacity or resistance to 'burnout' ignores the reality that resilience is not a personality trait, but rather a collective achievement: it is not something people have, but something people do.12
Enacting HRO from a narrow vantage point
In addition to the superficial engagement with research and insight on high reliability, HRO principles within healthcare are often narrowly enacted within particular silos. Interventions aimed at increasing reliability in healthcare are often bounded by the borders of a particular unit, department or specialty domain, with relatively little attention to developing common interpretations and implementations across the range of professions that make up modern healthcare. Rotteau and colleagues highlight the differential uptake of HRO concepts across professions among their interviewees, and the nature of the Caring Safely intervention points to a fragmented approach to delivering this content, with different components restricted (either by design or by enrolment) to particular professional groups.8 Without consistent exposure or intervention, it is highly unlikely that a common understanding and shared vision of HRO will emerge across professions.
Inconsistent application not only dilutes implementation efforts, but also contributes to the perception that reliability is the purview of one profession but not others. More specifically, there is a risk of HRO principles being defined as a 'nursing' concept, rather than a broader concern for all health professionals. Consistent with Rotteau and colleagues' observation of greater engagement with HRO principles among nurses,8 efforts to improve patient safety and reliability in healthcare also seem to be increasingly concentrated among non-physician health professionals, and to be driven predominantly by women. Indeed, a recent analysis of individuals certified by the Certification Board for Professionals in Patient Safety showed that more than 86% of certificants were women.9 These trends are no doubt structurally related, as nursing and other non-physician health professions tend to have a higher percentage of women working in them, but this over-representation of certain health professionals—and the noted absence of others—presents a challenge to the broad adoption of concepts necessary for safe, reliable care. These demographic trends raise the possibility that delivering safe, reliable care is being categorised as a more stereotypically 'feminine' concept (ie, aligned with stereotypes of women as caring, nurturing or emotional), which would be less well aligned with the professional competencies and norms associated with physicians, historically defined by more stereotypically 'masculine' traits.13 Moreover, that adoption of these HRO practices is over-represented in historically lower status healthcare professions13 suggests that enacting these concepts may not be viewed as high-priority, status-enhancing efforts. Though the health professions are continuing to progress towards more equitable balances across demographic and status characteristics, narrowly associating HRO principles with any one group or profession will limit the widespread adoption of the kinds of practices and interactions necessary to deliver safe, reliable patient care.
Creating the requisite variety needed for higher reliability in healthcare
The occasion of Rotteau and colleagues' paper provides a window into the process of enacting HRO principles in a hospital, but also an opportunity to reflect on the challenges of depth and breadth that remain to be overcome if these principles are to be more fully integrated into healthcare more broadly. Going forward, it is incumbent on scholars and healthcare leaders to aid the field in developing the requisite variety—the rich, multifaceted understanding and diverse, widespread application—necessary for more effectively enacting HRO principles. We highlight three directions that seem fruitful in building this variety.9 First, healthcare needs more research to understand how things go right in the course of everyday work. Although aspects of HRO are aimed at anticipation and prevention, the essence of high reliability organising is resilience and adaptability. Things go awry in the course of everyday work and health professionals are constantly making small adjustments in their actions and interactions to catch and correct issues (often without even knowing it). What are the practices, habits, routines and ideas that are contributing to an organisation's collective abilities to adapt and make things go right? Second, there is a need for more diversity—of both health professions and outside disciplines—in tackling these problems. We must take seriously that medical mishaps and adverse events are problems in need of insight from psychology, organisation theory and engineering, not just from medicine.14 Engaging expertise from a broad variety of disciplines and creating sustained interdisciplinary partnerships will enhance the field's understanding of how people in complex systems make sense of unfolding events at work. Third, healthcare has historically privileged small system changes to improve reliability and safety—with many positive results. But going forward, researchers and leaders need to be looking not just at activities occurring at the clinical level, or even the level of a single organisation. There are large classes of hazards that require industry-wide, social-political changes in healthcare, such as the issue of look-alike and sound-alike drugs or issues of technology interoperability. There is still a long way to go in the quest for higher reliability in healthcare organisations, and we must do more to understand the nature of healthcare work processes, the operation and interaction of high-level system elements and the capabilities of healthcare and its professionals to successfully cope and recover from adversities as they unfold.

Bullying's cure is fighting back
(My Eastern New Mexico News column for September 18, 2019)
It's as predictable as the equinox: school starts in the fall and bullying catches society's attention anew. It's not as though bullying stops over the summer break, but then it is usually left-over momentum from the previous school year. "Back to school" recharges it.
Schools decry bullying, often getting the community involved. It's a halfhearted effort at best. Schools can't eliminate bullying without undermining their own system since it's based on authoritarianism-- socially accepted bullying.
The dictionary says a bully is anyone who uses strength or power to harm or intimidate someone weaker, usually to force them to do what the bully wants.
Who, other than an insecure person with little self-worth, would behave this way? Whether it's the schoolyard bully, the authoritarian teacher or principal, the politician or the politicians' badged "muscle", if you choose to push others around-- literally or figuratively-- to force them to do what you want, you can't think very highly of yourself. I pity bullies, even as I hope their victims fight back hard enough to make the bully reconsider their poor life choices.
Fighting back is the only cure for bullying. The victims must fight back, and shouldn't be penalized for doing so. Yet this is the solution no one in an official capacity, who claims to oppose bullying, is willing to accept.
Forcing victims to rely on someone else to solve the problem for them is also bullying. It doesn't teach responsibility and won't build confident character for facing life's other struggles. Encourage the victim to stand firm. Back them up if you're concerned about their safety, but don't tolerate anyone who treats fighting back against a bully the same as bullying.
Some bullied kids have gone on to strike out in tragic, angry ways at those who didn't bully them-- themselves or other innocents. I suspect this is because healthy ways of fighting back were forbidden. The frustration must build to intolerable levels, finally snapping in the worst possible way. The victim, because of his lack of competence in dealing with bullies, becomes a bully. Or a mass-murderer. It's no excuse, but it is predictable. You can create a monster by being monstrous to someone. Forbidding self-defense or turning a blind eye to officially sanctioned forms of bullying is monstrous. Society ends up paying the price for official cowardice.
Bullying is a problem. It won't be solved by ignoring the solution or by making the social environment worse for its victims.

Given that government schools are funded via extortion, having them teach children "bullying is bad" is like Ted Bundy teaching a self defense rape prevention course.

The mainstream media's role in mass shootings


Rather than the bottom line, Rezaei says he's focusing on creating something useful.
"There's different ways in the back of my mind how to monetize it, but right now, I'm trying to like, make it good," he said.
If his start-up isn't the next big idea, Rezaei has a fall-back.
"Initially the plan was to go to medical school, but I'm kinda doing this to make sure I don't go there," he said.

American Sniper Review: One Man's Struggle Between Duty And Family
Movie Reviews / Movies / Reviews
After a limited release, American Sniper finally opened worldwide in theatres this weekend. The Clint Eastwood directed movie is based on the true story of Chris Kyle, an American sniper during the Iraq War. Read on to find out what I thought in our American Sniper review.
The movie is based on the book American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History, by Chris Kyle. Kyle was a Navy SEAL who is credited with 160 confirmed kills, a number which possibly reaches 255. Dubbed the "Devil of Ramadi" by Iraqi insurgants and known as "Legend" among American soldiers, Kyle is played by Bradley Cooper and Sienna Miller joins the cast as his wife Taya.
The movie starts off with Kyle in Iraq, serving the roll as "overwatch" – a sniper role who watches out and neutralizes threats to soldiers conducting missions on the ground. A woman and a kid come out of a building and walk towards the convoy where the woman hands the kid a Russian made grenade.
The movie then flashes back to earlier years when Kyle was a rodeo rider. One night after a rodeo he and his brother return home to find Kyle's girlfriend cheating on him, prompting him to kick her out. While drinking beer and discussing life on the rodeo circuit with his brother, Kyle watches a news report on TV about the Nairobi embassy bombings (which occurred in 1998) and comes to the realization that he needs to do something more.
Kyle then enlists in the Navy SEALs and we see him going through boot camp, and shortly after becoming a SEAL meeting Taya in a local bar. He continues his training, which focuses on sniping, while he courts Taya and eventually marries her. As typically seen in movies, Kyle gets the call to deploy shortly after the events of 9/11 while at his wedding ceremony which sets the stage for the struggle that ensues for Kyle between military and home life.
American Sniper then picks back up where we left off with the opening scene and Kyle has to choose what to do about the situation at hand. His spotter reminds him that "they'll fry you if you're wrong". Kyle makes a choice, and is credited with his first sniper kills. We see a brief glimpse of an internal struggle as Kyle deals with his feelings about making the kill, but at the end of the day he rationalizes that he did what he had to do in order to save the lives of his fellow soldiers.
The rest of the movie alternates between Kyle's four tours and home life. Each time he comes home he's more distant towards his family and is constantly thinking about going back to the war where he feels he belongs. A few emotional scenes between Cooper and Miller really showcase the struggle some of these soldiers face. With 2 young kids at home, Taya tells Kyle that she's "making memories alone" and even though he may be home in body, he's not home in spirit and she just wants her husband back. She tries to understand why he feels the need to go back and the only answer he can give her is that he is doing it to defend her, his country, and his fellow soldiers. As is inevitable, she gives him an ultimatum of sorts stating that if he returns to Iraq again, his family might not be there when he gets back.
Of course Kyle makes the decision to go back, fueled by events from his third tour which left one of his comrades wounded at the hands of an enemy sniper he has encountered at various times over the course of his tours, and tells his friend that "You're my brother, and they're gonna f***ing pay for what they did to you." Back in Iraq for a fourth tour, we witness the final confrontation between Kyle and Mustafa (the enemy sniper, who according to the movie was a Syrian Olympic gold medalist). During the operation, and surrounded by enemy soldiers he makes a call to Taya and tells her he's ready to come home.
Chris Kyle, played by Bradley Cooper, ready to come home after four tours.
The war doesn't end there though as when Kyle returns home we see home staring at a blank TV, the sounds of war filling his head while he ignores Taya's pleas to come outside to join the party. Eventually he does venture outside, only to stop just short of beating the family dog in front of friends and family after he sees it playing rough with his son. This leads into the next scene where we see Kyle at the VA hospital speaking with a psychiatrist. Kyle tells him he has no regrets and is "willing to meet my Creator, and answer for every shot I took." The psychiatrist then takes Kyle around the hospital, after which we see him participating in a group discussion with disabled vets who weren't so lucky to come back without physical injuries from the war.
After this we see Kyle stepping up and befriending and helping other soldiers deal with their injuries, and as a result his family and home life return to as normal as one could expect under these circumstances. He's shown being a good dad to both his son and daughter, and a loving husband to his wife again.
Life eventually returned to some semblance of normality for Chris Kyle and his family.
Taya tells him how proud she is of him, and we see Kyle leave the house to meet with and help another vet. Eastwood really sets up the foreshadowing of this final scene between Kyle and his family, and after we are left with real life footage of what happened next. As the credits roll without music, an eerie silence fills the theatre and everything really sinks in.
Sienna Miller was great across from Bradley Cooper as his wife, Taya Kyle.
While American Sniper does portray a man at war, the real struggle it succeeds in portraying is a man struggling to balance his duty as a soldier, and his duty as a father and husband. Bradley Cooper's performance is outstanding and well deserved of an Oscar nod for Best Actor in a Leading Role. He took on the role of Kyle, and as a result you could feel his struggle throughout the movie. Eastwood does an excellent job of translating the adapted screenplay, also up for an Oscar, into powerful and emotional visual scenes – and while the movie did get a nod for Best Picture, it's a shame Eastwood didn't get one for Best Director as well. Sienna Miller and the rest of the supporting cast had great performances as well, and the scenes between Cooper and Miller were very believable and the pair had great chemistry.
As with movies based on true stories, I'm curious as to how much of the movie is fact and how much remains fiction and I am looking forward to reading Chris Kyle's autobiography. Regardless, American Sniper was well done and takes you into one man's journey as he struggles with life as a lethal killing machine and raising a family back home.

I wasn't sure if I was happy or not that we arrived. It was already getting dark when we got there. The city was busy as ever though, the twilight only made the crowd harder to navigate through. Something about the horses made people move out of the way though. We arrived at the Castle fairly easily, heading for the stables immediately.
The stable boys weren't very happy to see us. It took a moment to figure out what was wrong, but apparently the stables were quite full with a large group visiting the Castle. Usually there was always some empty ones, but it seemed the horses might have to stay outside. I let them handle it after a kind word that it was alright.
Deirdre followed me into the castle. There weren't many students about, it was just after dinner when most of them made themselves scarce into town or their rooms. Pity we missed the food, but I didn't really feel like eating in company anyway.
We headed for the Master's room, curious if there would be anyone there. Deirdre waited in the corridor, behaving very neatly with so many possible prying eyes present. There was a tension in the air everywhere here. Not just that of study but something a lot more tangible. The people in the city didn't look aggressive towards the Castle though. I wondered what was going on. Perhaps I would find it out soon.
"Enter." I didn't recognise the voice.
Nor, after I entered the room, the Master. He was old and dressed like one but he didn't look at all familiar. Or kind for that matter. His expression was, for lack of a better word, nasty. Unsatisfied with the world around him. The room itself had changed a little as well. The desks were somewhat cleaner and the books against the wall looked more organised as well.
He looked up sharply. "Yes?"
"I've got messages from Rockwall, Master."
"Show them." His voice was snappy too.
"Don't talk nonsense, give me the messages."
Now... I'm usually very polite towards those around me. Especially Masters or those holding an important trade. And I wouldn't say that I always followed rules as well as I should, but this was bugging me. A lot. Until a thought came into my head. A test. It could be just a test. It wouldn't be easy, but refusing was the only right thing to do in this case.
He looked slightly surprised through his irritation. "What?"
"No, Master. I will not give them until you show your ring."
He smiled, grimly. "Good." He held up his hand up to show the signature ring on his finger as he turned it back to the outside.
It was a Master's ring. And not just any, it looked like a much more expensive variant. Just a tad more gleam, shine, and detail in it. I just nodded and retrieved the messages from the bag with care and handed them to him. I bowed slightly after he'd taken them and wanted to turn around. I didn't exactly appreciate his company.
"Did I give you leave, boy?"
I turned back and bowed again. "No, Master. I apologize."
"Good. There's been some change in the Castle the past few days. You have completed most of your studies here, is that right?"
He frowned. "Why choose to be a messenger?" His tone of voice made it clear that he definitely deemed it a lowly occupation.
"Exploration, Master. I love to learn and see new things."
He looked genuinely surprised and, for the first time, not annoyed. "I see. Report back here tomorrow evening."
I bowed. "Yes, Master." His voice was really grating across my nerves. But I could see some intelligence behind his eyes.
I nodded and left the room as quietly as I could. Happy too see Deirdre standing outside. Though she didn't look that happy anymore. She had a worried look on her face when I got closer. She headed for me as soon as she saw me, taking me by the hand and leading me away, towards my room. She said just one thing while we were almost running through the corridors.
