(SHOW TITLE) CompNeuro is interested in the link between the neural activity and its function. in particular, for vision, I am researching the relation between the functional organization (anatomy and activity) of low-level visual areas and the structures that appear to be in natural scenes, that is of the images that hit the retina and which are relevant to us.
(OBJECTIVE) The course aims at introducing students with the major tools that will be necessary during their thesis to model or analyze their neuroscientific results. While it will start by a short, generic introduction, we will then explore different systems at different scales. On the first day, we will study the different possible regimes in which a single neuron can behave, while progressively introducing the theory of dynamical systems to understand these more globally. Then, during the second day, we will introduce methods to analyze neuroscientific data in general, such as Bayesian methods and information theory. This will be implemented by simple practical examples.

The trailer for the upcoming film "Beautiful Creatures" is out now. Much of the movie was filmed around St. Francisville this spring — and really looks like it, too. You can probably guess from the images, but it's hard for me to adequately express how lush and humid it is in these parts. My neighbor told me today that he and his wife have a dehumidifier, and some days it draws two gallons of moisture out of the air inside their house.
Posted in A Sense of Place, Louisiana. Tagged St. Francisville, Louisiana, Beautiful Creatures.
That looks kinda creepy. Are those accents authentic to the area? Having never been to St. Francisville, I don't know whether they have a Cajun/South Louisiana accent, or a North Louisiana/ East Texas type accent. Just curious. Regardless, most movies and TV shows don't get the accents right anyway. The only show that I think nails a Texas accent is "King of the Hill".
Are those accents authentic to the area? Having never been to St. Francisville, I don't know whether they have a Cajun/South Louisiana accent, or a North Louisiana/ East Texas type accent.
No, not really. It's just generic Southern, what you hear in that clip. The accent around here is a bit peculiar. It's definitely not Cajun in the least … but it's not really a North Louisiana accent either. It's hard for me to explain why it's the way it is, and how it's different from North Louisiana, but it is. I really love it.


There is a Secret Step that no one really wants to talk about when it comes to achieving goals.
This Secret Step must be taken and applies to you whether your goal is losing weight, completing a college degree, having a successful relationship, dropping your substance addiction, or lifting more weight at the gym.
There's a good reason this Secret Step is a secret; it's scary. It's petrifying, actually.
And you won't be the same person afterwards.
Once you know what is it you most desire, you must let go of the struggle.
Letting go of the struggle is hard, because it's usually the only life we know.
Letting go of the struggle means no longer telling the story of why losing weight is so hard, why its so hard to get good grades, why its so hard to get him to listen to you, why its so hard to totally quit, why its so hard to make gains.
When we quit telling ourselves about why things are hard and complicated and this that and the other thing, there is not a lot left to say, is there?
The SECRET STEP is retraining your Self to tell a different story about how IT IS POSSIBLE.
Not only is it possible, but you are in the process of doing it RIGHT NOW.
I'm not saying this is EASY. Hell no.
Let's face it... it's uncomfortable to lose weight, it's tedious to study, it's scary to be vulnerable in front of others, it hurts to quit using, and it takes a lot of time and effort to build your body.
When you decide to after a goal you MUST release the struggle. It will be the main thing standing between you and your success.
All the other details are figureoutable.
All those rappers singing about going from ghetto to stardom?
All those authors writing books about their 100-pound weight loss journey?
All those folks with PhD's teaching the next generation about theory and science?
THEY ALL LET GO OF THE STRUGGLE and did the WORK instead.
Here's the thing; when you decide to start telling a new story there are often people and places that will no longer be present in your narrative.
Sometimes releasing the struggle also means releasing toxic people, toxic places, and things that took up your precious time.
Screeching halts in progress and days which are filled with bliss.
Letting go of the struggle means BEING OPEN TO RECEIVING that which you say you want.
Step 1: Determine what you actually want.
Step 2: Come up with a plan to get there.
SECRET STEP: Listen to all your excuses about why it's going to be a huge struggle, so hard, oh my God what did I get myself into, I can't quit on my own, I don't have time, can't afford it, blah blah blah. Return to Step 1. Do you still want it? If no, we are done here. If yes, return to Step 2. Is it a solid plan? If no, revise it. If yes, then let go of the struggle and move to step 3.
Step 4: Achieve the goal and set the next one.
"I am releasing this struggle" -- and see what happens.
Comment here about your biggest WIN.


Taffy is a 15-year-old mutt. Well, she looks like a mutt, with a bit of yellow lab in her, and maybe some corgi, too. Her ears are soft, her fur is reddish, and she's got a serious case of doggy breath. She doesn't move terribly fast, but if you had stiff joints and eyes going cloudy, you wouldn't either. Still, she and a bit of tech that's smaller than a grain of rice and cheaper than dinner helped her owner just when she needed it most.
"Did someone call 911?" I asked. A woman who looked very frightened nodded and pointed. I looked over to see a young man on his phone. He was saying something into the phone about a car backing out and hitting an old woman. There's blood … she's unconscious … she isn't … His voice trailed off.
The woman looked so small, so frail. The man on the phone backed away. The frightened woman covered her mouth with her hand. A man I assume was the driver stood alongside the car, a sad look on his face. I realized we might be watching her die.
I knew not to move her, because her neck might be broken, but beyond that, I had no idea what to do. I kneeled to comfort her in whatever way I could when a car pulled up and a woman got out.
"Are you a nurse," I asked, not realizing until much later just how deeply seated some gender stereotypes are. "I'm an EMT," she said. "What's happened?" I told her what I knew. The EMT kneeled. "Ma'am, can you hear me? Ma'am?"
No response. The EMT looked up. "I've got to roll her over, but I can't let her neck move. I'm going to hold her head. I need you to roll her from the hips, gently." Together, we got the woman onto her left side. "Now what?" I asked.
"I need to clear her mouth." I asked for a towel. The man on the phone ran toward his house. The man by the car opened the trunk, handed me a mostly clean rag and an old jacket of yellow tartan. The EMT held the woman's head gingerly in one hand, used the other to wipe away blood, then put the jacket under the woman's head.
An ambulance arrived. A burly, pot-bellied paramedic who looked like he'd been on the job for decades took charge. Can you tell me your name? Can you tell me what happened? Can you tell me what hurts? The woman said nothing. She just struggled, then started groaning. He got a neck collar on her. She pulled it off, and fought every effort to replace it.
The dog, silent until now, started barking.
Minutes later a fire truck arrived. The grizzled paramedic gave the captain a rundown in short, declarative statements. She's unresponsive ... she's combative ... Then he asked for help getting her on a backboard. You'd think this would be easy. That woman was barely conscious and couldn't have weighed more than 90 pounds. But something deep within her was fighting on a purely instinctual level. It took five men to hold her down long enough to strap her onto the board.
The captain asked if anyone knew her, knew where she lived. No one knew anything about her, other than she walks her dog around the neighborhood each morning. I spotted a woman watching from her porch. No, she said, I don't know her, but my husband is putting it on the neighborhood listserv.
There was nothing in her pockets, no tags on the dog. The ambulance left, and the captain started his paperwork. "What about the dog?" the EMT asked. No one said anything, so I said, "I've got a fenced yard. I can take it." The captain thanked me, took my name and number, and sent me on my way.
My phone rang about an hour later. It was an ER nurse at Oakland's trauma center. They still hadn't identified the woman, who was unconscious again. The nurse didn't say so, but I knew what that meant: If the hospital couldn't identify the woman, it couldn't contact her family, but more than that, it couldn't get her medical history—which might impair its ability to give her the best care. The nurse seemed desperate. She asked if I might take the dog to a vet and have it scanned for a chip. Sure, I replied. No problem.
Microchips work the other way, too: Your pet can identify you.
Any number of companies offer microchips that a vet can, for 25 to 50 bucks, quickly and easily implant between your pet's shoulders. If Rex or Mittens ever gets lost, a vet can scan the chip, get your contact info and reunite you. Microchips work the other way, too: Your pet can identify you.
I loaded the dog, whom my wife had been calling Red, into the car and trundled off to the vet. A receptionist waved a scanner over Red's shoulders. It beeped. "She's got a chip!" she said. I exhaled. OK. Now we're getting somewhere. She called a number, explained the situation, read a serial number. "Oh. OK," she said and hung up.
"The registration is expired," she told me. "But I've got a lead. They told me who chipped her. I'll call that vet and hope they've still got her records."
They did. The dog's name is Taffy, and her owner's name is … well, no one will tell me, because of privacy restrictions. But Taffy's vet told the hospital, which is what matters, and offered to board Taffy, whom she's been treating for years and knows well.
"C'mon Taffy," I said as we left. I opened the door to the car. "Up you go." She had resisted getting into the car earlier, but this time she jumped right in. "That's a good girl, Taffy," I said. I was surprised how much better I felt knowing her name. Taffy, too, seemed more relaxed. She looked out the window as we drove. I scratched her ears, and she managed to get fur everywhere.
I arrived 20 minutes later. A vet assistant exclaimed, "Taffy!" The dog perked up, obviously happy to see someone familiar. The assistant asked what happened, so I explained what I knew, gave Taffy one last pat on the head, and told the assistant to let me know if she or Taffy needed anything.
Later that afternoon, a social worker called to say they still hadn't found any relatives, did I know anything more. The woman was unconscious again, he said, and in ICU. No, I said, I don't know anything more. I got another call from another social worker that night. She told the same story, and added that the woman "is very sick, and we need to find her family."
I don't know anything more than that. No one will tell me much because, frankly, I'm just a guy who happened by. But from what I've gathered, the woman usually carries her wallet and keys when she takes Taffy out each morning. For whatever reason, they weren't in her jacket, because I checked it after the paramedic cut it from her body. They weren't in her blouse, because I saw the EMT check. And they weren't in her pants, because someone at the hospital would have found them.
All she had was her dog, who had a chip, which led to her family when she needed it most.

Foundational research focuses on the theory, but theories are to be related also to other theories, experiments, facts in their domains, data, and to their uses in applications, whether of prediction, control, or explanation. A theory is to be identified through its class of models, but not so narrowly as to disallow these roles. The language of science is to be studied separately, with special reference to the relations listed above, and to the consequent need for resources other than for theoretical description. Peculiar to the foundational level are questions of completeness (specifically in the representation of measurement), and of interpretation (a topic beset with confusions of truth and evidence, and with inappropriate metalinguistic abstraction).


After several hours of research, I finally made my selection of the 5 best slippers for men among more than thirty products available at the moment. Toms Berkeley slippers are my favorites. Not only are they comfortable, but in addition to a pair purchased, you automatically offer a pair to a child who has not gotten enough. What to combine comfort and good actions! You will also find at the end of this article a shopping guide to help you find, gentlemen, the ideal slippers for you!
These slippers are cheap, but are nonetheless durable and comfortable slippers.
These slippers feature a felt top and rubber soles. Like most slippers, no closure system, just put them on!
These are designed to hold the foot with a slightly elevated soles for a better comfort of the heel and the back.
The sole has the good taste of being slip-resistant and is quite thick without sacrificing anything in terms of flexibility. In addition, which says thick sole, says better insulation of cold soils such as tiled floors, which can be a nightmare for barefoot in winter. These slippers hold warm foot and whatever the model chosen (more than twenty different models are available!).
It should be noted that these shoes tend to carve a little big, it will be better to choose a half size, even a size below if we do not want to end up having to send them back because our feet float in, which would be a shame because, remember, these slippers are supposed to stand!
We can also note the fact that they are slippers that hold over time. I saw user reviews mentioning a minimum of two years before they do not look avachis, which is not bad at all for entry-level slippers.
The slippers cover the top of the foot without becoming annoying, which is another plus.
As I said above, these slippers are available in a rather large number of different versions. Beyond the classic slippers black or gray, you will be entitled to slippers zebra, leopard or with more classic patterns like tiles.
Some have a fairly classy velvet look. There is literally something for everyone!
These leather slippers are both soft and fluffy. The insole is made of leather and this one is accompanied by Merinose fiber which is comfortable and odorless.
The slipper is available in different colors, but the only noticeable difference is the color of the outer seams, you can choose between black, brown and gray.
The sole itself is synthetic. It benefits from EVA foam technology, which helps improve blood circulation.
In addition, this memory foam is able to adapt to the shape of the foot and absorb shocks heel cushioning each step. Another plus: this sole has the good taste of being slip resistant!
The width of the shoe is normal size and unless you have the feet of Hulk, you should have no problem to slip into it. Slippers do not tend to fracture or tear even after a long wearing period.
It is not only possible to wear them at home, but also at the office by their design that makes them look like normal shoes. Be careful however: the leather of the slipper is not waterproof!
It is also interesting to note that two versions of these slippers are available, a normal summer version and a winter version with a sheep wool lining to keep your feet warm during the icy winter evenings!
The wool used is of high quality, soft and fluffy with a fine fiber coming from merino sheep. This wool helps to circulate the air and maintain the warmth of the feet.
The leather is also of good quality and adapts to the shape of the foot after a while to ensure lasting comfort.
These slippers provide exemplary comfort without having to break your piggy bank too much. And there are the Toms that make you do a good deed while buying your slippers!
Before I start I would like to send a big green thumb to Toms for their One for One initiative. Indeed, for each pair sold, Toms offers another pair to a disadvantaged child! This is an excellent initiative that I want to salute and I encourage you to contribute to keeping your child's feet warm this winter.
But let's come to this shoe. This one is comfortable and has a checkered stem.
The top of the boot is made of textile with a 100% polyester lining. The sole is also made of synthetic material. Like any self-respecting slipper, this pair of slippers is put on directly, no closing system here.
Attention, these shoes cut a little small, but from the moment we found the right size, it's a pleasure to wear them. The soles absorb shocks very well, which makes the shoe all the more comfortable. In addition, the texture of this pair of slippers is very nice outside and inside.
These slippers are extremely warm feet, even in the cold, after a few minutes, the feet are warm. The soles offer excellent adhesion and durability of good quality.
The design of these slippers is not left with different colors available that remain quite classic after all, gray, black, blue checked (you know, the kind of tiles that we always find on slippers for a reason that m escapes).
One version however offers a different format with green padding rather than the textile top of other versions of the slipper.
Sorel Falcon Ridge: it's solid!
These slippers offer a suede leather top combined with a wool and acrylic lining. The insole is EVA and thus offers great comfort, while the natural rubber sole is there to ensure excellent grip on the ground.
In addition, these slippers are very warm to the foot, ideal for icy winter evenings or just brave tiling a little too cool.
The sole gives an impression of wearing shoes at the outsole and being barefoot at the insole, which is a real plus.
Be careful with the choice of size because this pair of shoes is small. It will be a question of choosing a pair of slippers one or two sizes above. The manufacturer would benefit from reviewing his size information so that we do not have to return his pair of slippers after purchase because they are too small.
This pair of slippers has the good taste not to make a lot of noise when walking with, which is always nice (which has not known the incessant "schliiip schliiip" of a pair of tired slipper that makes the noise – always a bit boring).
The design of these slippers is quite interesting, a big stitch is there to make a lining effect / reinforcement before the level of the sole, which gives it an aspect both original and solid, we feel that the pair of slippers do not will not flatten in less time than it takes to say "slipper".
Several colors are available in fairly sober tones. The color of the fur also changes to get married rather happily with the color of the slipper.
Here we really talk about luxury slipper. Reserved for the public with an enlarged budget!
At a similar price for slippers, no doubt, we are in the presence of a high-end product. Made in waterproof suede and fully lined with natural wool, this pair of Ascot slippers is of excellent quality.
Plus, you can wear them everywhere with the durable rubber sole.
These are luxury slippers, which means that we will have to take special care in their maintenance, especially since they are made of living matter. It will be better to mop up the stains rather than clean them with a damp cloth.
Ascot offers a coating made to avoid stains and damage from too much water to extend the life of this pair of slippers. Just apply it once every few months.
The manufacturer also gives some tips to find the size that suits you so you do not have to return this pair of slippers because of a bad choice. Since these instructions are only available in English, I will try to translate them here: "Draw a straight line, longer than your foot, on a piece of paper. Place the paper on a flat surface. Stand upright on the line with your heel and longer toe centered on the line. If you measure the foot of one finally, it may be easier to hold the paper. Place a mark on the line at the end of your longer toe and at the back of your heel. Measure the distance between the two marks, take the larger of the two measurements (one for each foot) and use the conversion chart to find your slipper size. "
Attention, it will also take into account your intention to wear these slippers with socks or not. If you plan to wear them without socks, rely on your true shoe size, if you plan to put socks more or less thick, I recommend you to review the size up a size.
Winter is coming, the cold is attacking you and your feet, and you're tired of it? It may be time to get some slippers so you do not get unnecessarily cold!
And rest assured: you will find the pair made for your feet!
We can find different types of slippers, to choose of course according to your preferences!
You will have no trouble recognizing these. They never come with laces and you can slip in and out easily. They cover your entire foot, although depending on the design, parts of the top of your foot may be exposed.
Traditionally made in animal skin, moccasins are lightweight but durable and even good for occasional use outdoors like going to take the mail for example.
These do not cover the upper part of your heel but will cover the toes and the top of the foot. They are especially effective for people with back problems or other health problems that can make it difficult to put on shoes and slippers.
If keeping your foot warm is your priority then you will want to look at this type of booties. They cover the ankle and are cut to help you withstand the cold even in an isolated cabin.
Many slippers are designed for indoors and outdoors and use durable soles. They are usually treated for bad weather too.
What is the use of wearing slippers if they are not comfortable? Yes, slippers can keep your feet warm during the icy winter nights, but they must be comfortable or you will soon be tired of wearing them.
Be careful, a certain style and cut that is comfortable for someone is not necessarily for someone else. Slippers are supposed to be comfortable at all times. So, before making your choice, make sure that the slippers you want to choose are something that you can wear a long time at home.
Most of the best slippers are made of real leather or suede. Both materials are durable and provide comfort and durability.
Also, natural animal skin provides a more comfortable environment for your foot while helping to keep you warm, even during those long icy nights in February.
Cotton is another material used to make slippers and provide comfort and the advantage of easy cleaning: indeed, it is sufficient to swing them in the washing machine if necessary.
Natural fibers such as cotton also have the advantage of being cheaper than leather and suede.
The harder the soil, the thicker will need to be the soles. This is very important if your house has hard floors or any other type of uncovered area, but it is less so if your floor is made of carpet or carpet.
Although most people will plan to wear their slippers at home, there are some brands that offer slippers with reinforced rubber soles. These reinforced soles will make activities unthinkable with a pair of traditional slippers like going to buy some things at the grocer for example.
Now if you are looking for durability, then a reinforced fabric sole should offer enough protection for most men at home.

Your options, that is to say, if you're definitely planning on buying a Samsung Galaxy S10, S10E, or S10 Plus.
The marketing image also shows off a highlight feature of the Galaxy S10 - PowerShare. It's unclear at this time whether all Galaxy S10 models will be bundled with the Galaxy Buds, or just the more expensive ones. In numbers, the Galaxy S10 is expected to come with three - two at the back and one at the front, and the Galaxy S10 Plus might have five - three on the rear and two selfie ones.
This could be the banana-yellow Galaxy S10E. The smallest of these is the S10E, a device that'll come in four colors.
Samsung's next smartwatch offering on the Tizen OS platform will be called the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active and the OS version running this wearable device will be Tizen 4.0.0.3. If you take a look at the gallery down below, you will be able to see both devices in fairly clear images, from both the front and the back, so there's very little to hide when it comes to the design of these two smartphones.

История
Была создана в 1936 году как радиостанция AM-диапазона WQXR. Основана  и . До 1939 года станция использовалась для ретрансляции сигнала экспериментального радиопередатчика Эдвина Армстронга, использовавшего частотную модуляцию. После этого Хоган и Сэнгер начали собственную передачу с помощью частотной модуляции на частоте 42,3 МГц, получив позывной W2XQR.

В 1944 году материнская компания станции, Interstate Broadcasting Company, была продана New York Times Company. После изменения частот вещания FM-диапазона, станция получила частоту 96,3 МГц и позывной WQXR-FM.

Распространение сигнала до 1965 года осуществлялось с крыши Чанин-билдинг, затем с крыши Эмпайр-стейт-билдинг.

The main heroine of the story – Vera Nikolayevna Sheina, the wife of the nobility leader – had a pleasant time with Anna's sister's company at her seaside dacha, waiting for the imminent holiday. On the name day, not many guests gathered, all good friends and relatives. One event knocked Shane out of the rut: a woman received as a gift a pomegranate bracelet sent by mail to a certain anonymous person, who fell in love with the Faith before her marriage, and for eight years has been sending her letters with modest confessions.
The husband of the Faith, Vasily Lvovich, was alarmed by his jokes with his wife. Excited, she quickly joined Anna's conversation and one of the guests, the old general Yakov Mikhailovich, who talked about love and told fascinating stories from life. Vera found this conversation very interesting and instructive. She seemed to re-discover what true love is.
Meanwhile, Vera's brother Nikolai, a friend of the prosecutor, is furious with the behavior of a mysterious anonym. Using his connections, Nicholas finds a mysterious "GS S. Zh.", Which turns out to be a small clerk Zheltkov. Nikolai demands that he stop all communication with Vera. Zheltkov agrees, but begs for an opportunity to send the woman a final letter. In it, he wants his beloved peace and happiness, and also asks in memory of him to listen to Beethoven's second sonata. Then Zheltkov commits suicide, which Vera learns from the newspapers. Faith with tears in her eyes listens to "Appassionata" and realizes that the true love that every woman dreams of has passed by her.


Kenny, April and Stevie leave Guy Young's studio after Kenny's triumphant performance on 'Sports Sesh.' Stevie is so excited, he punches through a car window. To celebrate his return to the big time, Kenny buys gifts for his family – a free-trade candle for April, a Louis Vuitton backpack for Shayna, and for his son Toby, a wolf named Dakota.
At the studio, Kenny and Guy exchange gift baskets. Kenny's includes the screenplay of his life story; Guy's has passes to a waterpark. When Kenny tries to invite his brother's family to the resort, Dustin turns down the offer, telling Kenny, "All you do when you get famous is act like a bigger assh*le." Instead, Kenny and April invite their friends Gene and Tel and their families, along with Stevie's.
Everyone enjoys the waterpark – especially April. Kenny brings his drunk wife back to their room with his kids, then joins the other men at the bar. A dirty-looking fan named Shawnsie introduces Kenny to his hot sister, Jessie. They bring the party up to their room, but the drugs and booze prove too much for Gene and Tel to handle. Kenny threatens to expose them all if they tell their wives about the party, and cracks Gene in the jaw for mouthing off to him.
After sneaking into park after hours, Kenny turns down Jessie's overtures. "I've got a wife, kids, a family," Kenny tells her. "My d*ck just can't be in your mouth, ever." Security comes and the group races back upstairs. Kenny, agonizing over his decision, decides to pay a visit to Jessie's room, but this time, she turns him down. Kenny wakes up next to his loving wife, but his son recognizes something amiss.


Well, it's been pretty grey here for the last few days. Cheerful enough indoors though and I of course couldn't resist getting into the sea anyway. The beach looked quiet first thing on Boxing Day.
There were rumours of a mas swim in Borth at Midday so I headed down there for a swim too. Most people would just be going in for a quick dip but I fancied a proper swim so donned my swimming wetsuit, caps and goggles and drove to the beach. I was surprised to find quite a few people there waiting for the strike of Midday. There was even a little drone flying overhead to record it all.
Lots of people were going in in skins, but quite a few had wetsuits on too. A Midday we all got into the water. I left everyone else to it and headed off for a proper swim out around the reefs a couple of times.
It was surprisingly warm. Not only was it warm standing around on the beach waiting to get in but there was none of the usual cold water shock when putting my face into the water for the first time and it wasn't unpleasant at all. I was only in for less than half an hour but I got a quick miled swam and was still lovely and toastie when I got out. Most people had started to disperse by then, although a few were still splashing about in the shallows.
The rest of the day was spent at home and wandering over the the beach a few times. There were films to watch, goodies to eat and leftovers to work our way through. There may have been a little bit of snoozing on the sofa as well.
Morgan spent most of it on his xBox, no surprises there! Finally at about 6:30pm Morgan decided he wanted to go to the beach as well. So, not wanting to prevent him from actually going outside I walked across with him and we ended up getting wet feet once again. The perfect opportunity to try out my new shoe dryers once we got back!

Aventura assisted living and medical offices project scores $84M construction loan
163-unit assisted living project will also include retail
Dec.December 01, 2021 05:30 PM
By Lidia Dinkova
Rendering of the 1212 Aventura mixed-use project and Rieber Development's Bernardo Rieber (Colliers, 1212 Aventura)
An assisted-living facility project with medical offices and retail in Aventura scored an $83.8 million construction loan.
Rieber Development is building 1212 Aventura with 163 luxury assisted-living units near Aventura Hospital and Medical Center.
The financing breaks down to a $63.5 million senior construction loan from Miami-based BridgeInvest, and a $20.3 million mezzanine loan from an overseas lender, according to the broker's news release.
Jeffrey Donnelly and Dmitry Levkov of Colliers' structured finance team arranged the financing.
The project also will have 29,684 square feet of retail and 25,796 square feet of medical offices, according to the release. It is under construction at 21290 Biscayne Boulevard on the southwest corner of Biscayne Boulevard and Northeast 214th Street.
The project will have a pool and gardens as well as floor-to-ceiling windows in the ALF units, according to the release. To emphasize that it will be a high-end ALF, Donnelly said in the release that the project will be "as sexy as anything one expects to see in the Miami market."
Construction is expected to be completed in early 2023, Levkov said.
1212 Aventura is part of a larger, multi-block development that includes the adjacent Ivory 214 office building with a 100-key Hilton Tapestry Hotel. Ivory 214 and 1212 Aventura are the first two phases of the development.
Donnelly and Levkov are also working on a $29 million refinancing for the hotel, according to the release.
Rieber Development, based in Aventura and led by Bernardo Rieber, also has ventures in multifamily, office and retail, according to its website.
Its Aventura developments are part of an effort to create a medical district close to Aventura Hospital. Generally, medical offices have remained resilient to the work-from-home trend that has thrown the office market into limbo.
Buyers also are betting on medical offices. In October, Forte Capital Management bought a Hollywood building next to Memorial Regional Hospital South for $11 million.

Come Along - It's Fun To Travel !
 We are pleased to introduce our 2019 Travel and Tour listing.
We are Nick and Diane Modock and have been in the travel and tour business for more than 47 years. What started as Pinnacle Tours in 1970 evolved into Janick Tours in 1972 with Nick and his late wife Janice. You can easily see how we got our name. Janick Tours was quite successful. With Janice being diagnosed with a terminal illness, that has a way of redirecting a persons plans. The business was put on the back burner. Nick offered tours to large groups through her illness until Janice passed away. Fast forward a few years until when Nick met Diane, who had lost her husband suddenly. We eventually got married.
Upon retirement from RTA, Nick could not stay idle for long and decided to revitalize his traveling idea and dreams, thus North Ridge Tours. We serve Lorain, Medina, Erie, Huron, Cuyahoga, Summit, Ashland and Lake counties. We design our tours to fit the needs of the more knowledgeable mature traveler who want to explore new horizons. We view everyone who travels with us as "Traveling Partners" and "Dear Friends". We realize that each of our traveling partners is unique, having different needs, likes and appetites. On occasion on our multi-day tours, we include "Off the Menu" meal stops as part of that tour. This allows for our individual traveling partners to choose a meal to their liking. This is unique and we hope that you enjoy that option.
Each of our One Day Trips is designed to allow our traveling partners the opportunity to fully experience the destinations that we visit. We make every effort to plan for your total enjoyment and relaxation. Our Day Trips are "All Inclusive" with regard to meals, admittances, guided touring and transportation. We feel that as North Ridge Tours, we offer an economical travel and tour experience. Being retired, we operate out of our home and therefore, being our own office staff we have no outside expenses for our traveling friends to pay for. So, COME ALONG to take advantage of our fantastic economical tours. Invite your friends, neighbors and family to join us.
Try to make your reservations at least three months in advance. This assists us in our planning by not having to cancel a tour. That way you will not miss out on your favorite tour destination. We make plans and deposits with our agents for meal, touring, lodging and motor coach transportation as far out as 8 months in advance to guarantee our reservations. Some of these are non-refundable if cancelled less 45 days from our tour departure date. We need your assistance in this regard. Thank you for your understanding.

About Special Olympics Ontario and the Pembroke and Area Special Olympics (PASO)
Special Olympics Ontario is a charitable, non-profit organisation which provides year-round sport training for persons with intellectual disabilities. It is an organisation based on an idea developed by Dr. Frank Hayden, a Canadian physical education professor from London, Ontario whose research showed that persons with intellectual disabilities can and should participate in physical exercise. Moreover, he believed that the benefits of such activity would be seen in all areas of the athletes' lives. And so, with the help of a local school that offered space in its gym, the first organised sport program (floor hockey) for intellectually disabled individuals became available in the fall of 1968.
Dr. Frank Hayden
But Dr. Hayden didn't stop there as he truly believed that all persons with intellectual disabilities had the right to not only community sport programs but also to high quality coaching and advancing levels of competition. With no firm support from the Canadian or Ontario governments, he took his case to Washington, D.C, to the home of Rose Kennedy, who herself had a disabled daughter. It was with her financial assistance and the powerful influence of the Kennedy family, that the first Special Olympics (as the movement came to be called) event, featuring athletes from only Canada and the United States, took place at Soldier's Field, Chicago, in 1969.
Back home in Canada, broadcaster and philanthropist, Harry "Red" Foster got the Special Olympics "bug" and started spreading the word about the benefits of sport training for persons with intellectual disabilities and it was his tireless efforts and persuasive recruitment of sponsors that led to the development of the Special Olympics Ontario organisation, mandated to recruit volunteers to run grass-roots sport training programs across the province. The organisation became incorporated in 1979.
Meanwhile, Dr. Hayden had secured the unanimous support of Eunice Kennedy Shriver and was well on his way to making Special Olympics programming across the continental United States, the rest of Canada and a few other countries around the world. Today, 120 countries from all around the world have Special Olympics programs.
Special Olympics Ontario is a volunteer driven organization with some 23,000 athletes and 10,000 volunteers registered across the province. Athletes range in age from eight to eighty and have the opportunity to train in sixteen official sports and numerous demonstration sports.
At the community level, the Pembroke and Area Special Olympics has many registered volunteers and over 65 registered athletes. Every facet of the programs from administration to coaching is run by volunteers.
Our Vision - Our vision is that sport will open the hearts and minds towards people with intellectual disabilities and create inclusive communities all across Ontario.
Our Mission - Special Olympics Ontario is dedicated to enriching the lives of Ontarians with intellectual disabilities through sport.
Values :
Empowerment: We create opportunities to pursue full potential.
Excellence: We elevate standards and performance.
Respect: We operate in am environment of cooperation, collaboration and dignity.
Diversity: We honour what is unique in each individual.
Inclusion: We foster inclusive communities.
The primary objective of Special Olympics Ontario is to contribute to the physical, social and psychological development of people with intellectual disabilities through positive, successful experiences in sport.
The focus of the Special Olympics movement is to promote sport programming for such individuals in their community. However, in keeping with the philosophy of sport training, the organization also promotes competition at higher levels. This is accomplished with the staging of Provincial Games (held every two years) and National and International Games (held every four years).
Furthermore, the organization does not seek to restrict athletes to competition with other Special Olympians and in fact, promotes integration of its athletes into community based generic sports programs whenever possible.


This week was really odd.
Our school district closed an unprecedented four consecutive days.
Colleges canceled classes, and even the YMCA was closed!
But, not everything got canceled.
First, it was for a snowstorm in which we accumulated 8 inches in our driveway. We got a text on Sunday evening that school would be closed on Monday. It wasn't even snowing …..yet. Then, it came. By, Buffalo standards, it wasn't bad, but my son was glad to be off.
My husband got up and plowed.
I headed off to work for my first day in over 20 years! It was odd to go to work when everyone else was home.
A polar vortex blew in from the north, dipping temps to record lows. Off to work again I went, while others slept under cozy covers and stayed warm. No school for the next two days, was the word received by text. The air is too cold for nearly everyone and everything. Warnings of frostbite and hypothermia permeated the media. Yet, reminders were still needed for teens who wander around without outerwear in the dead of winter.
Colleges closed here, there, and everywhere. Local universities cancelled classes. Our two sons, who are in college in neighboring states, were hunkered down, staying in – out of the bone chilling cold.
A better day than Tuesday but still bitter cold. It said -26 on the car thermometer as I headed out but stopped to get my coffee. A crock pot of homemade soup for a Potluck lunch after our TEAM meeting sloshed around on the floor of the backseat of my car. Meanwhile, at work learning technology on a PC versus a Mac has its frustrations but I make some progress by trial and error. If that doesn't work, I ask. Everyone is nice.
ACT exams are studied. Art is done. AP Classes are studied. An email from a teacher reminding students to study warms my heart.
Another cancelled day, now with the YMCA closed too. Cabin fever has set in. Minus 35 degrees on the car thermometer told me it was even colder this morning than it has been the last few. School has been canceled a record four days in a row, an unprecedented event, showing concern over the dangerous effects of the cold!
A prospective college visit was canceled for Friday. Madison will have to wait. The need to be in class, after four days off, outweighs the visit to a "maybe" place of the future. We will reschedule as time permits.
My first week of work is a success. I feel great as I leave the office, with some new tasks understood, and more yet to learn. Continued practice with a digital life will occupy me for the near future.
Some of our normal life returns. The temperatures are rising to the single digits above zero. Errands are run. No work for me today. But, school is in session, and my student attends.
A rescheduled trip to Madison is in the works as we try to squeeze in the trip before the Track and Field season arrives. The weather is always a factor for that as well!
This was a very odd week for many, for most, but as I returned to work, it seems especially so for me. Our odd schedules and sub-zero temperatures are something I will now forever equate with returning to work. But, then again, it is winter in Wisconsin!
Cute blog format. And congrats again on the job!

Ospreys May Soon Find New Home in Seaside Park
New Jersey Now Has a (Cute, But Endangered) State Reptile
Osprey (Credit: National Parks Service)
A family of ospreys may find their next home with a great view of Barnegat Bay.
Members of the Seaside Park Environmental Committee received support from the borough council Thursday night to build a new osprey nest at the public marina, assuming the spot meets the criteria set by the Osprey Project, led by a number of conservation groups.
"The marina, at the entrance to the waterway, seems to fit the criteria that's been presented by the Osprey Project," Anne Weiss, a committee member, told council members. "We figured it was first, best, to see if you would give us permission to do this, and then we would present the location to them."
"The nest would do best in an area that's quiet in April," she continued. "They say the birds don't mind the [boat] traffic as long as people aren't jumping out of boats and bothering them."
Human-built osprey nest platforms are a common sight at the Jersey Shore, where the species has made gigantic population gains since conservation efforts began two decades ago. A nest at Island Beach State Park even has a popular webcam attached.
"We have talked as a committee for a while about adding one here in Seaside Park," said Jane Mason, another committee member. "We've done a lot of research and talked about it for a long time."

Q: integration lambda function or split lambda per api gateway http codes I'm setting up a aws-apigateway-lambda and i'm new in that services.
I'm Wondering that how to use lambda getting individual methods(POST,GET...)?
For instances,

*

*Create Individual lambda function per http method.

GET api.com -> lambda.api.get
POST api.com -> lambda.api.post

*one lambda function and Accept all method

*GET,POST,DELETE... api.com -> lambda.api

def lambda_function(event,context):
    method = event["http-method"]
    if method == 'GET': return receive_get()
    elif method == 'POST': return receive_post()

which is efficient way ??

A: If you consider an equally traffic two lambda functions with around same number of containers warmed, both lambda will take around equal amount of time to process. So, it actually depends on the traffic pattern of your lambda service. Say for example we consider both cases:

*

*If your service does not have regular traffic, you will have to spin up containers to keep your lambda warm. But in this case if you have different lambdas then you will be burdened with warming two lambda functions.

*Your service has regular traffic, then there are not much cold start issues in lambda and being single or two lambda won't have much difference in processing unless including both methods makes your code too extensive and heavy making spinning of lambda containers more time consuming. But in normal get and post method cases it is not the case.
So, basically you have to decide whether including both get and post methods in the same lambda makes your code heavy. If it does it this can increase the time for spinning up new lambda containers. As you are using python it adds very less to cold start time and it will be better to put both methods in the same lambda.
For lambda cold start related issues you can look at these:

Phoenix's Historic Desert Jewel: Arizona Biltmore
by Kellie Speed
It's hard to find a historic property that combines both old world glamour and classic elegance with stunning architectural design, but that's just what you will find at the Arizona Biltmore. This iconic property was once the seasonal playground to many wealthy socialites and prominent politicians, who came here for a true escape from it all when it first opened in 1929. Today, the 39-acre oasis offers two PGA golf courses and eight swimming pools and a 22,000 square foot spa and fitness center.
Photo Credit: Arizona Biltmore
Rob Razavi, lead historian, recently took me on a tour of the property so I could learn more about the historic hotel. "In 1928, Frank Lloyd Wright joined the team as a consultant to the hotel project," he said. "More than 33,000 tons of copper were used and there are three rooms in existence today that have the original gold leaf ceiling. The original cost to build the hotel in 1929 was $1.1 million, but then the stock market crashed, unemployment went up and William Wrigley came along and purchased the property and operated it for 44 years. There were 1,300 acres when the hotel was originally constructed, but over the years, they sold much of the property and now there are 39 acres."
The Mystery Room, the Prohibition-era "speakeasy" that is now used as a pop up bar and event space, has been re-mastered with a sophisticated new look that recalls the seductive style of the resort's early years. You could almost envision the Gatsby-esque era as Razavi lit up telling how "guests were by invitation only and they hosted celebrities like Marilyn Monroe (who preferred to lounge at the Catalina Pool) and Clark Gable, who came to dine in the Gold Room, the original dining room of the resort, where they held dancing and a live orchestra every night. Dinner was held at 6 p.m. every night from 1929 to 1972. Mr. Wrigley sold the company in 1973 and that's when it was opened to the public."
Since then, the hotel has attracted some of the biggest names in Hollywood, including Frank Sinatra and Liza Minelli, and many US Presidents (Cottage L was a favorite of Ronald and Nancy Reagan). We recently stayed in a private standalone king cottage with a fire pit tucked away in this desert oasis that offered a beautiful resort view, flat screen television and Salvatore Ferragamo bath amenities. There are suites and villas in addition to traditional accommodations, but those in the know come here to stay in one of the 120 rooms at Ocatilla, an exclusive "hotel within the hotel" that features luxe club accommodations, a private lounge, and a private pool area complete with food and beverage service.
We recommend having dinner at the on-site restaurant Frank & Albert's named after the resort's architectural inspirations Frank Lloyd Wright and Albert Chase McArthur, Start off with a prickly pear margarita or gin martini and sample some creative starters like smoked trout before moving onto a fork tender filet mignon served with a side of Brussels sprouts. There is a more formal dining option, Wright's, featuring dishes like tea smoked duck, buffalo tenderloin and roasted Guinea hen.
Did we mention there are eight different pools to choose from here? Our favorite was the Paradise Pool, which featured a 92. ft.-water slide, swim-up bar and private pool-side cabanas. For some quiet respite, head over to the Terrace Court Pool located on the Terrace Court. Marilyn Monroe's favorite, the Catalina Pool, which was built by the Wrigley family in the 1930s and features colorful tiles from California's Catalina Island, has been host to diving competitions, fashion shows and social events.
Whether you come for a weekend getaway or a week long escape, the Arizona Biltmore will surely provide a much needed respite.
The Arizona Biltmore is located at 2400 East Missouri Avenue in Phoenix, Arizona.

Inside Ashley Tisdale's Former L.A…
David Arquette Sheds Encino Spread in Off-Market Deal
May 15, 2020 2:01 pm PT
Location Encino, Los Angeles, Calif.
Price $5 million
Size 4,332 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms plus 1-bed/1-bath guesthouse
David Arquette has sold his celeb-pedigreed estate in L.A.'s ever-more-expensive Encino suburb in an off-market deal valued, according to tax records, at exactly $5 million. The property was briefly listed on the open market last year (with Jonah Wilson at Hilton & Hyland) at $4.975 million. Just as Arquette sold for above the (last known) asking price, he and his wife, Christina McLarty, also ponied up more than the asking price when they bought the property over the summer of 2017 from TV hospital drama staple Kate Walsh for $4.6 million, substantially over the $4.25 million asking price.

Expertise and Empowerment: the Essential Prerequisites to Effectiveness in Health Information
Michael Rigby
In the drive to modernise information management and information handling in the health sector, focus is nearly always placed on the technologies and on the conceptual issues such as coding and language. However, without competent and thus confident users, this important investment in modern information systems is at best unlikely to achieve its full potential, and at worst may lead to deterioration of service. This paper outlines the issues and reports on initiatives to address the different end user competency requirements.
It is a truism that healthcare is one of the most information-intensive industries, and this information dependence continues to increase exponentially. This can be attributed to a number of interlinking factors:
Population involvement. Every citizen is a subject and has an increasing number of concurrent health records with increasing specialist referral and consultation.
Patient individuality. Every citizen involved in receiving healthcare, whether preventive or therapeutic, has a different personal history, and therefore, delivery of appropriate care and treatment is heavily dependent upon effective accessing of the personal health history.
Scientific underpinning. All healthcare is based on application of science. With research progressing at a steady pace and the momentum towards evidence-based medicine, proper care requires up-to-date awareness of the latest evidence and its formulation into treatment guidelines.
Litigation awareness. Increasingly, consumers are motivated to seek compensation for alleged poor or negligent treatment, and this increasingly drives healthcare providers to maximise not only the use of past records but also the amount of investigations undertaken.
Increasing digitisation. Traditionally, many forms of diagnostic investigation were kept in paper files as prints of specialist types of analysis, ranging from X-ray pictures to scans and traces. Increasingly, however, these are being digitised, and therefore can stored within the integrated electronic record, which assumes ever-increasing importance and also greater volume and complexity.
Electronic communication and networking. Until recently, health records were unique to the autonomous health organisation, which organised and maintained standalone record systems. However, modern communications paradigms enable not only electronic messaging to permit transfer of data, but enable records to be read remotely and care to be delivered remotely through telemedicine.
Internet health sites. With the rise of the Internet, health in its broadest sense is one of the biggest subjects. Internet health sites range from professional updating sites to patient self-help groups and sites advocating alternative procedures including changing lifestyles. While on the one hand, the increasing availability of evidence and of choices is commendable, the Internet is also host for ill-informed and malicious sites too--therefore, navigating intelligently by differentiating the alternative site offerings is increasingly important.
Health professionals already have a challenging task in delivering modern and effective care to all citizens and patients presenting to them, with the pressure for clinical updating alone being significant. The advent of widespread and commonplace computing and information technologies presents a further challenge. By definition, the most experienced health professionals have been in post 20 or more years, and thus were educated both in their schooling and in their basic professional education in the era of paper-based information sources and recording. The enforced move to electronic communications and records can be daunting. System training may be provided, but this is significantly less than the required installation of knowledge, understanding, and application skills in the new information paradigms. Without this high degree of skill development, end-users will not be competent in using the technologies. This not only means they will use them suboptimally, but the quality of care they deliver may deteriorate as they struggle to record or retrieve information using the new technologies. In this area, as with any other technologically area, competence and confidence go hand in hand.
This paper differentiates the three types of user of health information systems, differentiates their information skills and knowledge requirements, and reports initiatives to meet these requirements. From these examples may be identified approaches which may be used universally in generic form, and indeed there may be opportunity for international collaboration to share frameworks while customising to local situations.
Three Types of Health Informatics System Users
Figure 1 indicates three types of health system users. From this it will be seen that these can be summarised as health informaticians, healthcare end-users, and patients and citizens. Their needs are significantly different, and the effort put into structuring their education and training historically has been different.
Figure 1. Types of Health Informatics System Users
Health Informatics Staff
Staff working in health informatics, whether employed by healthcare providers or by system and service providers, need not only technical competence in their area of information and communication technologies, but also a sound awareness of the health sector and its issues, and of the needs and responsibilities of healthcare providers. They are the smallest group in numbers, but have significance to the whole of modern healthcare.
End-users
Health professionals, and other staff in healthcare including global support and reception staff, are the principal users of health information systems. However, unlike the end-users of most other systems, such as financial applications, use of the system is only part of their duties and therefore does not feature as focally as it ought in their professional education.
Patients and Citizens
There are two drivers increasing the citizen use of health information systems. One is the increasing amount of record sharing with patients, not least the disclosure of records that is a legal requirement in many countries, through to patients entering or updating observations and readings in a dedicated part of their record. Secondly, with the use of the Internet as a source of health information including information on alternative treatment modalities, the citizen needs some guidance on navigating the multiplicity of sites available. They comprise the whole population, but are only involved indirectly in the majority of health informatics interactions.
These three requirements areas are distinct and different. Figure 1 shows one area of overlap, which exists where some health professionals express an interest or have a responsibility for aspects of informatics systems--for instance, the primary care physician supervising the local application or the senior nurse ensuring that the whole nursing team is competent in using a specialist application. Conversely, informatics support staff dedicated to working in a specific application area need to have an insight into the end-user's objectives and priorities. Second, patients may ask health professionals for advice in obtaining information from the Internet or may attend the physician armed with information they have already obtained. Clearly, it is important in these circumstances for health professionals to know how to navigate the Internet and appraise sites and their contents.
Apart from this one area of direct overlap, however, these three competence requirements are quite distinct, and to confuse them or treat them as homogenous is inappropriate. While overall awareness of the three dimensions is important for any health staff, competence in each needs to be much deeper and more dedicated in specific competencies according to role. The remainder of this paper will examine these three domains, the types of knowledge and skill needed, and examples of initiatives taken to address each.
Competencies of Health Informaticians
The NHS in England has recognised that health informaticians are key to a modern and effective health service, and they require their own career-orientated skills ladder with explicit levels of understanding and competence related to role and to seniority. It is also important for such staff, as well as for the reassurance and safety of patients, that these skills are recognised and individuals receive recognition of their proven competency. While academic programmes in health informatics are important, alone they do not provide a guarantee that workplace operational requirements are covered and achieved.
The National Health Service in England has moved to meet this need. It has developed the Professional Awards in Information Management and Technology (Health), based on a defined set of Learning Outcomes. 1 There are four levels for this, as shown in Figure 2.

The Professional Awards are based on the concept of Learning Outcomes, against which the candidate is required to demonstrate competency according to exemplar Assessment Criteria. The overview of the contents of the Awards at the four levels is shown in Figure 3.

The National Health Service Information Authority has established a dedicated Health Informatics Qualifications Management Board to promote and manage the Awards, including the registration of candidates and of successful persons who demonstrate competency and are thus submitted to the Register. At the same time, the HIQMB is successfully promoting partnerships with higher education institutions, whereby academic educational programmes whose curriculum and assessments map successfully to the Learning Outcome requirements of one or more Professional Awards have their programmes recognised as leading to proof of professional competence as well as of academic attainment. Currently, nine academic institutions in England are offering the Awards on this basis, with others in the submission and recognition process. Discussions are also commencing with a view to making the qualification one that is mutually recognised across member states within the European Union, as well as seeking mutual academic recognition.
The whole purpose of this programme is to ensure that the professionals who are essential to ensuring effective health informatics support to healthcare professionals and organisations themselves have a recognised and stable education and competency-based career pathway. Moreover, this is firmly within the objectives of good information governance, as it provides reassurance both to the health professionals and to the patients, who are equally totally dependent upon the electronic information systems, that these are being soundly managed.
Competencies of Health Professional and Other End Users
The education and training needs of those who use automated information systems in their daily practice--doctors, nurses, other health professionals, information staff, receptionists, and others--are totally different. They do not need to know how to implement or run modern electronic systems. However, they do need to know how to use them, and the skills required are significantly different from those required to operate paper systems. Information recording, information retrieval, and the more structured format of record entries and messages in electronic records can all be major challenges as well as having their beneficial side. It is far from unusual for staff who would have written updating notes in the paper record, when faced with a computerised record system not to update it regularly, but instead to make notes on informal sheets of paper kept in coat pockets because they feel uncomfortable with the electronic record. They then distil a personal summary for their successors when they change shifts or hand over care, updating the computer only then. Training in using a particular application, important though this is, is alone inadequate as it fails to address this changed paradigm in information handling.
An initiative has commenced to try to redress this deficit. There has been pioneered in Europe a generic computer user qualification, now known as the European Computer Driving Licence.2 This is entirely system- and domain-independent, and deals solely with how to use a computer, use word processing packages, spreadsheets, and the like and to understand the basic principles of good information management. It has been so successful that it is now used all over the world, in a version known as the International Computer Driving Licence (ICDL).
The National Health Service in England has seen the major value of a recognised qualification in competence as a computer user. It has therefore embarked on an ambitious programme to provide ready access to this Licence, with a dedicated portal for registering interest, and undertaking the assessment online.3 This has become one of the largest organisational education and training programmes using the ECDL, with a budget of £15 million ($27.5 million) over five years. The target is for this to achieve 450,000 completions (one third of the NHS staff). So far 11,500 staff have achieved this--two-thirds in the last year.
However, health data are significantly different for a number of reasons, as is the way they are handled in paper or electronic form. Moreover, health professional users of health informatics systems as tools in their daily practice are very different from staff employed to use modern information systems in other sectors. A proposal has therefore been developed to produce a health domain supplement to this, to give further understanding and confidence to those who are end users of electronic information systems in health,4 drawing on an initial airing at a European electronic health records conference.5 It has now been published in the health informatics literature.6
This has been based on an analysis of the special characteristics of health professional end users of systems, as reproduced in Figure 4. The idea was then reported to an international meeting of the Education Working Group of the International Medical Informatics Association in 2003, where considerable interest was stimulated. Subsequently, discussions have been held with opinion leaders in health informatics in nine European countries at an invitational workshop, as a result of which a proposal is now with the European Computer Driving Licence Foundation (the governing body of the qualification) at their invitation.

Figure 5 highlights the type of topics that might possibly be included in this, though further work and consultation remains to be undertaken before final conclusion. A significant guideline was developed in the international consultations as being "if it is done differently electronically then it should be included; otherwise it has been previously covered as part of basic professional education."

In summary, this is arguably an important development to ensure that health professionals are confident and thus competent in using the equipment supplied to them (probably not by their choice) to enable them to undertake their core professional duties. Whilst there have been expressions of interest from around the globe, through ECDL/ICDL channels as well as through health channels, translating this into an agreed qualification is a large challenge. Therefore nevertheless, it is hoped that the process has been commenced.
Competencies of Patients and Citizens
As health information systems grow, and in particular the Internet, so many citizens can and will want to avail themselves of the opportunities. On the one hand, this may come from patients asking for sight of their electronically stored health records. This may be taken a stage further with their being involved in entering information into a dedicated part of the record that collects observations and readings they obtain, or records their views and experiences. It is an exciting and constructive form of inclusion, as shown by innovative applications.7 While these opportunities are limited, the interaction of patients can be directed, but if this approach becomes more widespread, there will need to be ready consideration of educating the patient and citizen, including the very important issues of promoting the interests of those who are disadvantaged either economically or through compromised mental competence (young children, the mentally ill, the confused elderly) who run the significant risk of being excluded by default.
Second, there is the issue of the Internet and the confusion of health advice that can be found on it. On the positive side, the Internet can provide citizens with important health advice, ranging from treatment options, alternative patterns or styles of treatment, or access to opinions not available in their own immediate locality. Patient self-help groups and experiences of fellow users, often expressed through health condition interest groups, are particularly rich and important. However, on the negative side there are a number of ill-informed or even malicious sites. These have been described in the literature,8 and include sites that market unproven or indeed dangerous remedies, those which are provided by persons falsifying their alleged qualifications, and those that are scams seeking to obtain money or credit card details. Many citizens are using the Internet to obtain good health advice, frequently to good effect to reduce the knowledge imbalance between patient and clinician so that a more informed dialogue on treatment options or drug choices can be carried out. But without better guidance made available without inherent bias, patients and citizens are currently left wandering in a wilderness. The most informed will find the best answers, the least informed are the most vulnerable to being mislead.
The need for some form of certification of sites to validate their integrity, and indeed a proposal to undertake a detailed feasibility study has been provisionally agreed by the Health and Consumer Protection Directorate General of the European Commission, if the balance of funding can be found. Second, there are some important initiatives to develop support for the citizen, of which one strong example is the "Informed Patient" project.9 Being more open and inclusive in advising patients and citizens on how to use the Internet, share records, and in other ways to benefit directly from e-Health, is much overdue. The World Health Organisation's Declaration of Alma Ata emphasised the importance of primary care, and of personal and societal responsibility for health--it is important to ensure that the electronic revolution in health does not further disempower the citizen.
In the inexorable move towards e-health applications, the issue of efficient and effective use is often overlooked by the enthusiasts (and sometimes idealists) who propose them. Implementation training is usually limited and restricted to operational functions. When educational preparation is considered, it is usually naively assumed that there is one homogenous issue in the health domain, and that this is not significantly different from the situation in other domains. All these premises are false. As shown in this paper, health informatics staff, professional end users, and citizen users have quite different requirements, and the first two will benefit from structured formal qualifications appropriate to their role. Moves have been outlined to develop such programmes, and stronger international recognition of the importance of these, bedded into the local culture and health economies, is essential to ensuring efficiency, effectiveness, and safety of health informatics applications. Health records staff, moving on from their historic role of librarians for paper records systems, should apply their expertise and their trusted intermediary role and become active leaders promoting and applying these developments.
