Eastern Rosellas are medium-sized parrots. Apart from white cheeks, they have an all-red head and chest. The belly is yellow, the vent again red. The nape of the neck is scalloped yellow-and-red, while the mantle and upperwings are scalloped yellow-and-black. The flight feathers are dark-blue. The rump is yellow, the uppertail green. Female Eastern Rosellas have somewhat duller colours than males, especially around the head and neck. The bill of both sexes is light-grey, the irises are dark and the legs and feet are grey. Juvenile Eastern Rosellas resemble females, but with duller colours. In-flight, both juveniles and females show a white underwing bar that the males lack.
Compared to Western Rosellas, Eastern Rosellas have white cheeks and a yellow belly, rather than yellow cheeks and an all-red front.
See Eastern Rosella at Wikipedia .
Eastern Rosellas and Pale-headed Rosellas are now considered by most to be separate species.
The global distribution of the Eastern Rosella is available HERE .
Eastern Rosellas are endemic to Australia. They populate VIC and about the eastern half of NSW, in a strip that is about 300-500 km wide, including the Great Dividing Range and the Australian Alps. They are also found in the Murray River catchment, up to about Adelaide, SA, in the West. After substantial inland rainfall they can extend their range westward, out into the semi-arid interior of northern NSW and central QLD. They are also found in the eastern half of Tasmania.
Of the three races of Eastern Rosella, nominate race "eximius" is found from about the Hunter River estuary to South-West SA. In northern NSW race "elecica" is found, whereas Tasmania is populated by race "diemenensis".
At the borderline of their ranges, the population densities of both Pale-headed RosellaPale-headed Rosellas at least 10:1, while at Moree, NSW, just 100 km further North, it is the other way round.
There is also an introduced population in New Zealand, most on the North Island.
Eastern Rosellas are usually found in open forest, often with grassy undergrowth. They adapt well to the presence of humans and are also found on farms or in urban parks and gardens.
Race "eximius"
R. Plumtree reports spotting Eastern Rosellas, nominate race "eximius", regularly in the area of Ensay, East Gippsland, VIC.
M. Eaton found Eastern Rosellas, nominate race "eximius", at the Botanical Gardens, Adelaide, SA, in April 2022.
Race "elecica"
Eastern Rosellas, race "elecica", can be seen in the Narrabri area on a regular basis. However, they are more common in the hill ranges East of Narrabri than out in the plains.
In April 2006 we saw hundreds of Eastern Rosellas, race "elecica", on a trip through the Nandewar Range, in the area from roughly Barraba, NSW, to the Upper Horton Valley.
Eastern Rosellas, race "elecica", were also sighted by us on trips to the East of the Great Dividing Range, in the area from Armidale to Dorrigo and Urunga, NSW, regularly.
M. Eaton reports finding a pure-bred Eastern Rosella, race "elecica", at Brunswick Heads, NSW, in January 2019. This location is close to the northern boundary of the species' range.
Eastern Rosellas are usually found around humans more frequently in the winter months, when they tend to forage in gardens; during the summer they are seen much less frequently, even in times of water shortage in nature.
In 2007 the first fledglings were seen in late August, at roughly the same time as those of various ducks.
Race "diemenensis"
B. Hensen reports finding an Eastern Rosella, race "diemenensis", at the Botanical Garden, Hobart, TAS, in March 2016.
M. Eaton spotted an Eastern Rosella, race "diemenensis", at Goulds Lagoon, Hobart, TAS, in April 2021.

Social behaviour: Territorial Mobility: Sedentary/dispersive Elementary unit: Pair
Since, as is the case for many other parrot species, female Eastern Rosellas take on the incubation duties, they rely on the males to feed them. Therefore, males prove their mettle in a bonding ritual, by feeding their partners to earn the right to mate.

In the region where their habitats overlap, i.e. northern NSW and southern QLD, Eastern Rosellas and Pale-headed Rosellas can interbreed (see above). The hybrids have intermediate colours (the size and colour of the yellow and red patches on their heads and breasts vary).

The PG designs include essentially exactly the same electronics his or her SM series counterparts, but cost about 50 % the cost. The primary difference is both PG-57 and PG-58 come with an on-off switch and also the SM-57and SM-58 models don't.

The next thing is the most challenging part of the whole process. How's it going getting the seem to your computer? Although most computers ship with some form of seem card already installed, these aren't usually sufficient to perform a decent job of recording.

Audio interfaces are designed for this operation effortlessly. Simply plug one finish of the XLR type microphone cable in to the microphone and yet another finish into an XLR input from the audio interface. Since the signal in the mic is effectively within the audio interface, how's it going getting it in to the computer?
Digital audio interfaces are outfitted with whether standard USB or Firewire output. In case your interface is outfitted with types, only use one. Should you connect both USB and also the Firewire simultaneously, your pc is going to be confused regarding which input to see and won't function correctly. In many scenarios Firewire 800 is a lot quicker than USB 2., however USB is an extremely reliable choice.
There are many audio interfaces made to meet every budget and situation, so research your options and select one that's made to meet your particular needs.
Now, just plug one finish from the cable to your audio interface and yet another finish to your computer. In case your loudspeakers are connected correctly, you will be able to hear anything you say in to the microphone. Like a precaution, make sure to always turn-lower the amount for your loudspeakers whenever connecting or disconnecting equipment.

Infrastructural Facilities
Drug Farm
Production Policy
Rakesh Pharmaceuticals is a pioneer enterprise in the field of manufacturing herbal products for animal healthcare and veterinary diseases. It was founded in 1975 by group of Veterinarians. We had a vision to utilize traditional knowledge of herbal remedies for healthy, disease-free dairy animals at a time when the white revolution was developing countrywide. Our concern came to the rescue of poor farmers of India, who were groping for effective remedies for diseases to which indigenous and exotic cattle were prone to. There were very few pharmaceutical companies came in the field with herbal remedies.
Our aim is to survey and study prevalent animal diseases and to evolve, renew and rediscover formulations based on herbal raw material and to manufacture products which are scientifically tested, safe and affordable to users. Our intent is to remain always in the front line of producers.
We have our manufacturing unit in G.I.D.C. Estate at Kalol in Gandhinagar Distict of Gujarat State, with modern manufacturing tools to produce therapeutic stock in form of Tablets, Bolus, Capsules, Liquids, Powder, Ointment etc. We possess Drug License No. GA/492 and have also been granted G.M.P. certificate. We have developed our infrastructural facilities from time-to-time to cater to growing needs and demands.
No pharmaceutical concern can afford to stand in the market without its own quality control laboratory and its linkages with research institutions. We are proud to have a Quality Control Laboratory with modern equipments and manned by trained scientists and technicians. We are constantly in touch with scientists of Veterinary colleges and Ayurvedic experts to avail of latest scientific research and our effort has been to develop scientifically tested products.
One unique adjunct to our infrastructure is a DRUG FARM of 50 acres of land situated nearby our factory. We have special advantage of rearing selected medicinal plants of requisite potency and good quality. We also resort to contract farming, besides purchases to be made in the open market. Farm-fresh and factory-fresh raw material is a key to superiority of products. It guards us against adulteration and substitution.
We have a dynamic production policy. Formulations are reviewed from time-to-time to cater to emerging needs, thereby maintaining our status as a modern production unit. We have a wide range of products. We have in our repertory a few prestigious products. To name a few, they are …
MILKOPLEX BOLUS, a powerful galactogogue & effective tranquilizer
UTROVET BOLUS / TABLET, for uterine infections
ESTRONA FORTE BOLUS, for regulating oestrus cycle
PROCTIVE BOLUS, for prolapse of uterus.
These are well received as effective and authentic drugs. Our formulations are oriented to healthcare nutrition, resistance, lactation- efficiency besides broad-spectrum drugs. We have equal concern for improvement of productivity, reliability and cost effectiveness.
Our Market Strategy is founded on principles of quality, consistency, competitiveness and customer satisfaction. Our potential customers are not only individual farmers but are also Government Animal Husbandry Department, Co-operative Societies, Dairy Development Corporations and such other users. The fact that the demand of our products shows a rising trend and we have captured markets in every corner of the country, covering almost all states in India is evidence of success of our production policy and marketing strategy.

Microids 'Lucas Lagravette on Syberia and today's adventure games
Missed a session from GamesBeat Summit to 2022? All sessions are available to view in our on-demand gallery. Click here to start watching.
How to a 20 years old adventure game franchise survive and adapt to the modern age? Syberia, a series that launched during the dark ages of early 00s adventure gaming, has managed to survive and expand into the modern era. Originally released earlier this year, Syberia: The World Before launches on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on November 15.
Adventure games evolve in the modern era, thanks to adaptations by developers like Telltale. Most adventure games can be divided into those that resemble the original adventure games of the 80s and 90s, such as Ron Gilbert's (literally) Back to Monkey Island; and things that incorporate more popular mechanics like the built-in selection mechanism from Telltale or Supermassive. In those respects, Syberia, which appears very similar to how the first game came out in 2002, is a little different.
GamesBeat spoke with Lucas Lagravette, director of Syberia: The World Before, about the series' long history and survival in the modern video game market. Here is an edited transcript of our interview.
GamesBeat: In regards to The World Before, what happens when it comes to adapting that franchise, that story, and that gameplay for a modern audience?
Lucas Lagravette: As you know, when we started working on the third volume, it was all the beginning of the Telltale craze, if I may say so. It's a revival of pointing and clicking, but in a different way. We want to be a part of that. On The World Before, with the experience of what we tried to create in the third episode – there were other games that came out, games like the one from Quantic Dream or even the Supermassive game. Actually, Until Dawn is a great reference for us in terms of game control.
GameBeat: So that's the type of play you figured out [Syberia: The World Before]? Because it is not exactly the same as the original point and click style, but it still has the feeling of pointing and clicking.
Lagravette: Yes correct. What's really important to us is that the fourth episode is fully playable with just one mouse. But it was also a big challenge to make it fully playable with a controller. For our level design team, it's like designing each level twice. It has to work with a mouse and it has to work with a controller. We also have the puzzle aspect, which not many modern adventure games or narrative-driven games do. That's our thing.
GameBeat: How do you think Syberia, and the adventure game genre in general, has changed since the first Syberia came out in 2002?
Lagravette: The modern formula favors a three-A story-driven role-playing game, like Quantic Dream or even Supermassive. It was an orientation point and the click was done. You also have a very classic style – I say this in a positive way – like what they did with the last Monkey Island, really for die-hard fans of the series. I guess we're trying to be in between those two coasts.
GamesBeat: What adventure games do you think have remained the same since the turn of the millennium?
Lagravette: Triple-A games, maybe they put the puzzles and riddles aside a bit for more action sequences. Although they are very simple to play. Very action oriented. We've tried to keep the puzzle dimension, which for us is a mainstay of Syberia's gameplay. But again, inspired by more modern puzzle games. Room [the video game series] is one of our references. It is not unique, but it is one of our references for puzzle sequences.
GamesBeat: Now that you've completed The World Before, what would the continuation of Kate's story look like?
Lagravette: When I played the first two games, right before my internship interview for Syberia 3, that was 10 years after they were released. I was amazed by Kate's modern treatment and her psychological evolution. I really want us to continue with that. It aligns with Benoit Sokal's vision of the Former World, a lot about Dana Roze [the deuteragonist of The World Before] and how her story connects with his own and his family's story. We think it's interesting for Kate to question herself, who she is, and why she runs. In the third part, Benoit found a formula that I think is great, so to say that Kate is acting like a traveler with no destination. That's what we wanted to ask in the fourth game, and how can we connect that with exploring Dana's story in the past.
GamesBeat: Was Dana inspired by any real people? I was reminded of some while I was playing.
Lagravette: Actually, it was inspired by Benoit's own family story. I think his grandfather was selling art in Vienna when the Second World War and the Nazis broke out. He has to run away. That's what Benoit meant.
GamesBeat: What do you think about Kate Walker that kept her around for so long? What do you think about her that resonates with gamers?
Lagravette: I guess Kate Walker's story can be summed up as liberating. She is shunned from her job, from her friends, from her family, from New York. I guess her life is a bit too much for her. When given this opportunity to be free, she did not ask permission. You can see in the first game people don't understand what's going on with her. She's like, okay, but that's too bad. I will still do that. I will still go. I guess it's something that still resonates to this day. That's something I can admire.
GamesBeat: Do you think the gameplay will change in any way in the future? We are now in the post-Telltale era of adventure games. Do you think the gameplay will become more modern, or go back to nostalgic trips, as you said? Or will you try to maintain balance?
Lagravette: I guess there will always be a balance – we saw that with Syberia 3. We tried everything and we went too far, I think, for the fans in some respects. I hope we can identify some non-negotiable points for fans, such as point and click. I think it would be very difficult to have a Syberia without pointing and clicking. But you can invent more modern ways to do point-and-click. I hope that's what we achieved with The World Before. If we do a sequel, we will continue this development.
GameBeat's creed when covering the gaming industry as "where passion meets business." What does that mean? We want to let you know how important the news is to you – not only as a decision maker at the game studio, but as a game fan.

BP to reinvent itself with new CEO, asset-sale…
BP to reinvent itself with new CEO, asset-sale plan
From left, outgoing British Petroleum CEO Tony Hayward; the company's chairman, Carl-Henric Svanberg; and incoming CEO Robert Dudley stand outside BP's global headquarters in London on Tuesday. Hayward's exit package was valued at more than $18 million.
PUBLISHED: July 27, 2010 at 3:18 p.m. | UPDATED: May 5, 2016 at 7:14 p.m.
NEW ORLEANS — Battered BP began reinventing itself in the shadow of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill Tuesday, naming its first American chief executive as it reported a record $17 billion quarterly loss.
Its outgoing chief miffed the White House anew with his parting comments.
Robert Dudley, who will replace Tony Hayward on Oct. 1, promised changes in light of the environmental disaster. "There's no question we are going to learn things from this investigation of the incident," he told reporters by phone from London after the announcement was made.
One certain change is that BP will become smaller. It announced it will sell $30 billion in assets and has set aside $32.2 billion to cover costs from the largest offshore oil spill in U.S. history.
Dudley, BP's managing director and the current point man on oil-spill recovery, defended BP's record and that of the embattled chief executive he will replace.
Hayward, whose verbal missteps intensified the anger Gulf Coast residents already felt, will leave BP with benefits valued at more than $18 million. He told reporters he had been "demonized and vilified" but had no major regrets about his leadership.
"Life isn't fair," he said, but he conceded that wasn't the point. "BP cannot move on in the U.S. with me as its leader."
The White House was not impressed with Hayward's comments.
"What's not fair is what's happened on the gulf," press secretary Robert Gibbs said. "What's not fair is the actions of some have caused the greatest environmental disaster that our country has ever seen."
BP said it would become a leaner, higher-quality business through its planned sale of $30 billion in assets. The company has already made a start with the $7 billion sale of gas assets in the United States, Canada and Egypt to Apache Corp.
BP chairman Carl-Henric Svanberg said the planned sales did not necessarily reflect a fear that spill costs could soar above the $32.2 billion set aside by the company.
Oppenheimer analyst Fadel Gheit said BP should be a 10 percent smaller company after its planned sales, but that it should remain the top oil and gas producer in the U.S., unless it sells off a large portion of its Alaska assets.
The company was reportedly considering the sale of its stake in the Prudhoe Bay oil field to Apache Corp., but instead sold it properties in Texas and New Mexico, as well as Egypt and western Canada.
Analysts said BP's estimate of spill costs was conservative; Gheit predicts BP will eventually pay between $30 billion and $60 billion.
Based on the upper estimate of oil spilled so far, BP could be fined up to $4.8 billion under the Clean Water Act, or up to $18.8 billion if it is found to have committed gross negligence or willful misconduct. BP's estimate assumes it would not get the harsher penalties.

Home News Members of Congress introduce bills to protect marijuana businesses
Members of Congress introduce bills to protect marijuana businesses
written by Brian Beckley March 9, 2017
Photo by Gregory Varnum.
The cannabis industry sure can lead to some strange bedfellows.
Tales of conservative, starched-collar financiers partnering with former hippie underground marijuana growers are commonplace as the industry begins to climb from the shadows of illegality and into the light of the open marketplace.
But even in Washington, D.C., where partisanship is seemingly more en vogue than ever, the explosive growth and ideological nature of the laws that helped create the industry are bringing together legislators from both sides of the aisle.
In late February, for example, freshman congressman Thomas Garrett — a Republican whose campaign website boasted such conservative bona fides as endorsements from the National Right to Life organization, the Police Benevolent Association and the National Rifle Association — introduced the "Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act of 2017," a piece of legislation nearly identical to the one proposed in 2015 by Democratic presidential candidate Senator Bernie Sanders.
If passed, the bill would remove marijuana from the list of federal controlled substances and allow states to treat it like liquor or cigarettes. It is co-sponsored by fellow Virginia Republican Scott Taylor and Democrats Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii and Jared Polis of Colorado.
"I have long believed justice that isn't blind isn't justice," Garrett said in a press release announcing the legislation. "Statistics indicate that minor narcotics crimes disproportionately hurt areas of lower socio-economic status and what I find most troubling is that we continue to keep laws on the books that we do not enforce.
"Virginia is more than capable of handling its own marijuana policy, as are states such as Colorado or California."
Garrett also highlighted the economic potential of the cannabis industry.
"This step allows states to determine appropriate medicinal use and allows for industrial hemp growth, something that will provide a major economic boost to agricultural development in Southside Virginia," he said.
The legislation was introduced in response to statements in recent weeks from the Trump administration and Attorney General Jeff Sessions regarding a potential crackdown on marijuana from the Department of Justice, something it has avoided since states began legalization efforts.
"During his confirmation, then-Senator Sessions pointed out that if legislators did not like this approach, they should change the laws accordingly," Garrett said the press release.
The bill is also in line with a Quinnipiac poll released Feb. 23 in which 59% of people surveyed believe marijuana should be legal in the United States and a massive 71% said the government should not enforce federal marijuana laws in stats that have legalized.
Garrett's bill is the second introduced this session aimed at protecting the burgeoning cannabis industry. Earlier this year, California Republican Dana Rohrabacher proposed H.R. 975, the "Respect State Marijuana Laws Act of 2017," cosponsored by a bipartisan group of 14 legislators from all around the country.
Rohrabacher and Polis, along with Democrat Earl Blumenauer of Oregon and Republican Don Young of Alaska are members of the Cannabis Caucus, a group of lawmakers with a goal of protecting and promoting the industry.
In addition to the efforts in the House of Representatives, 11 senators on March 2 submitted a letter to Sessions requesting the DOJ continue the policy first laid out in 2013's "Cole Memorandum," which stated that the states should remain the "primary means of addressing marijuana-related activity."
The letter is signed by 10 Democrats, including both senators from Washington, Oregon and Massachusetts and senators from Colorado, Hawaii, Nevada and New Jersey, along with Republican Lisa Murkowski from Alaska.
"We believe the Cole Memorandum provides a strong framework for effectively utilizing the DOJ's resources and balancing the law enforcement roles of the federal government," the letter reads.

General Hospital RUMOR: Carly's Memory Loss – Victim Of Brain Mapping?
General Hospital spoilers indicate Kevin Collins [Jon Lindstrom] left town knowing Carly's situation. Now Carly Corinthos [Laura Wright] has been turned over to Dr. Lazarus. Could "Kevin" be in on Dr. Lazarus' plans for Carly?
Kevin told Jason that Dr. Lazarus has a new approach to Electroshock Therapy. Could Dr. Larazus have his own brain mapping procedure instead? How many ways can Electroshock Therapy be done really? Why would you use this therapy on a perfectly sane person? It's obvious that the doctor's therapy is not helping the other patients. It's also obvious that Carly is in real trouble.
Could Dr. Lazarus Be Working On Brain Mapping Instead?
Mary Pat keeps saying that Carly will be a new person. A new person leads one to believe totally changed. Electroshock therapy can lead to the various problem including memory loss. Why would this doctor want Carly to lose her memory? Could memory loss be the plan all along? Could Dr. Lazarus be interested in memory mapping instead?
We all know that General Hospital's Drew Cain [Billy Miller] has Jason Morgan's [Steve Burton] memories from the procedure. Maybe Dr. Lazarus wants to give Carly someone else's memories. Dr. Lazarus maybe has a lost love who is in a coma or brain dead even. Maybe Dr. Lazarus is someone from Carly's past and wants her for himself. Could Dr. Lazarus be working on Alzheimer's research even? Carly has never seen Dr. Lazarus but will soon.
Could Dr. Lazarus Have Something Worse In Mind?
If Dr. Lazarus cannot get the results he wants from the electroshock therapy. If perhaps the brain mapping doesn't work with Carly either. Could Dr. Lazarus have something more sinister in mind? We know that Kevin or Ryan, whichever brother he is kept Faison's brain. Maybe Dr. Lazarus has an even more evil plan in mind. Could Dr. Lazarus be working with someone to attempt a brain transplant?
Maybe Faison's brain was kept alive on a machine somehow. Perhaps the plan is to sacrifice Carly to attempt to study Faison's brain further. Imagine having the ability to take a brain-dead person and revive their body with a transplant. We know this isn't possible in the real word but Jason was frozen and brought back. Could this be the next medical miracle of soaps?
Dr. Lazarus is certainly up to something and Kevin doesn't seem very concerned. Viewers have to wonder if Kevin himself as well. Lazarus came back from the dead. Maybe Dr. Lazarus plans to bring others back as well.

AI startup KroniKare diagnoses wounds with smartphones

(May 31): As robots continue to displace factory workers and payment terminals replace cashiers, a Snapchat for the medical industry could change the way healthcare professionals work. Local start-up KroniKare is developing a mobile application that assesses chronic wounds and presents a preliminary assessment to nurses or other healthcare workers.
Patients use the app to create a five-second video of their wounds, which is analysed by the app within 30 seconds. The process does not do away with the need for nurses, but could help a short-handed clinic or hospital take care of more patients. "Wound care nurses need automation because the process is very manual today," says KroniKare founder Hossein Nejati. "They visually assess, physically probe and measure the wound. It takes 30 minutes. We can help speed up the process."
Nejati, a post-doctoral researcher at the Singapore University of Technology and Design who specialises in machine learning, is betting he can fine-tune his system to be at least 90% as accurate as human nurses. "Our AI technology is benchmarked against the head nurse at a community hospital in Singapore that treats chronic patients. We are currently 80% as accurate," he says. At times, the system has even been able to surpass the ability of the nurses. KroniKare plans to roll out the snap-and-diagnose tool within the next year.
The start-up is one of 12 formed through Entrepreneur First, a company builder that matches technology- inclined individuals with each other to create high-tech start-ups. KroniKare is raising US$700,000 (S$972,000) to see its app pass the finishing line.
Chronic wounds are an increasingly problematic issue in the medical world. The condition is the result of common ailments such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and obesity. Singapore has the second-largest diabetic population in the developed world, in terms of percentage of the city state's population. According to the International Diabetes Federation, 10.5% of the population aged between 20 and 79 is estimated to have diabetes. The US is the only country with a higher ratio, at 10.7%. Moreover, chronic wounds can be life-threatening. "The mortality rate for chronic wounds is similar to cancer. It is shocking," Nejati says.
At the same time, the global healthcare industry faces a shortage of nurses. The deficit is expected to total 13 million nurses in the next 10 years, according to Nejati.
Mimicking a nurse
KroniKare was born at a local community hospital in 2015. Nejati was asked by one of the nurses to build a system that could help the hospital handle its growing number of wound patients.
So, Nejati and his team of four spent several days following the hospital's chronic wound nurses on their rounds and recording everything they did.
"Our system replicates the nurses' practices, the human processes," Nejati explains. "There are a few things you should be aware of if you want to make [an app] for the healthcare industry. You have to make small changes to the ecosystem. Do not start by changing the workflow [of healthcare workers]."
KroniKare's solution is made up of a mobile application for patients and a back-end dashboard for nurses. Based on the five-second video, the system can estimate the size and depth of the wound with accuracy down to 1mm. It also assesses the tissues surrounding the wound. Lastly, it scans for early signs of complications.
"Our technology fuses diverse sets of data, including patient history and past cases, to train the system to pick up signs of early complications. We have detected complications that nurses missed," Nejati says. "Over time, our system is expected to match or be better than the average nurse."
The start-up has tested its product on 24 patients with chronic wound infections at the community hospital. It is going to start a new trial at one of the local hospitals that see a significant number of chronic wound patients in Singapore. The trial is expected to involve hundreds of patients.
"Our system is designed in such a way that we do not need as many data points as traditional AI systems," Nejati adds. He is employing a form of AI that uses insights from cognitive psychology, and that is said to perform better and require fewer data sets.
Nejati has letters of intent from three healthcare institutions in Singapore. These include elderly care home Homage and homecare service provider Tetsuyu. He intends to charge a subscription fee for the system.
Growing adoption
The use of AI in healthcare is on the rise. Dozens of start-ups in Singapore are trying to shake up the healthcare industry with machine learning — and they are seeing growing demand from patients. Healint, which runs an app called Migraine Buddy to track sleep and migraine patterns, has seen the number of people using the app rise from 150,000 in 2015 to 400,000 in 2016. Telemedicine platform RingMD runs an AI chatbot that gives health tips and consultations to more than 5,000 people daily worldwide.
Still more are joining the fold. Jio- Vio, which makes devices to track pregnancies, is building an AI-powered personal assistant for expectant mothers. "With a growing population, there is no way doctors can spend enough time on each patient," says co-founder Sunder Jagannathan. Also, the healthcare industry tends to be less efficient because of a lack of strong management systems and processes. "AI can support healthcare workers with remote monitoring and guide patients to take care of themselves."
AI also helps start-ups provide more consistent services as they scale up, says Nawal Roy, co-founder of digital healthcare start-up Holmusk. But he points out that the technology is costly, and estimates investments in the millions of dollars every year.
The use of AI in healthcare is still relatively nascent in Singapore compared with the US, says Julien de Salaberry, managing director of health tech ecosystem builder Galen Growth Asia. "Start-ups also face constraints such as the shortage of talent and capital, as [most investors in Singapore] may not have the mandate to invest in AI in healthcare."
But medtech venture firm VentureCraft believes AI in healthcare is a "defensible investment". "AI was limited in the past because of computing power restrictions," says founder Isaac Ho. "But this is rapidly changing. It is going beyond just a [diagnosis assistant]. There are now devices that can predict heart failures and carry out advanced gene sequencing."
Jeffrey Chi, managing director of Vickers Venture Partners, says there is evidence that AI systems are more accurate than human doctors in some areas. "The benefits are obvious. AI systems can make diagnoses faster and with fewer errors. But the main issue is still [who would be responsible in the event of a] misdiagnosis," he adds.
KroniKare, too, wants to roll out more services for patients with chronic illnesses such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. "These services will still be app-based, but will update nurses or caregivers remotely when necessary," says Nejati. "The idea is to give people more control over their own health."

Maren Morris and JP Saxe Release New Song 'Line By Line'
By Hannah Barnes - January 13, 2021 02:53 pm EST
Maren Morris is back with more new music for fans, releasing a collaboration with Canadian artist JP Saxe titled "Line By Line" on Wednesday, Jan. 13. The song was written by Morris, Saxe, Ryan Marrone and Jimmy Robbins and is a relaxed pop song about loving your partner so much you can't find the words to describe how you feel.
"Love too big for a love song / If I tried to sum it up I know I'd get it wrong / Sometimes if it don't sound right / I apologize, I just said it cause it rhymed," the chorus reads. "Four chords, three minutes, you never fit in it / So I just take you line by line / Oh, I'll be writing about you for the rest of my life / Line by line." Along with the song, the duo also released the song's music video on Wednesday.
"I hope this song and video bring you guys a lot of light and positivity," Morris told fans in a YouTube chat with Saxe before the video's premiere. "It's crazy, crazy times right now, feels like it always is, but I know personally, music has been such a tonic for me the last year. Even though we're not touring right now."
The 30-year-old told fans that she had met Saxe during quarantine and was excited to have been able to work with him. "The upside of that is we got to find a week to write these songs together, and this one fell out of it and we got to collaborate finally," she said. "That one was one of the silver linings of the year the world kind of shut down."
Morris was scheduled to be on the road in 2020 on her RSVP: The Tour, originally postponing the trek to 2021 before ultimately canceling it. "There is so much hope with this vaccine being distributed in 2021, but we are still unsure of when we will be able to do the tour next year. With the prospect of, yet again, rescheduling half of the dates already becoming a reality, I have decided to cancel the RSVP Tour," she shared in a social media message in December. "I truly appreciate your patience on this. I am in the midst of working on my third record, so I hope we can all come together and enjoy live shows safely again soon."
The Texas native recently gave fans an update on her songwriting process, tweeting on Jan. 5 that "songs are sounding b—y and I like." In October, Morris released "Better Than We Found It," a powerful message inviting listeners to consider the mark they will leave on the world.

Q: With Compression ActionFilter, Server error messages clears content-encoding header and renders as gibberish When I'm using a compression filter and get an error, the error page is just gibberish characters. The problem seems to be that when IIS transfers to the error page the compression filter is still in effect, but the headers are cleared. Without the "Content-encoding: gzip" header the browser just displays the raw gzipped binary data.
I'm using IIS7.5, ASP.NET MVC 2 Preview 2 and an ActionFilter that looks like this:
public class CompressResponseAttribute : ActionFilterAttribute
{
    public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
    {
        var request = filterContext.HttpContext.Request;
        var response = filterContext.HttpContext.Response;

        var acceptEncoding = request.Headers["Accept-Encoding"];

        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(acceptEncoding))
            return;

        acceptEncoding = acceptEncoding.ToLowerInvariant();

        if (acceptEncoding.Contains("gzip"))
        {
            response.AppendHeader("Content-encoding", "gzip");
            response.Filter = new GZipStream(response.Filter, CompressionMode.Compress);
        }
        else if (acceptEncoding.Contains("deflate"))
        {
            response.AppendHeader("Content-encoding", "deflate");
            response.Filter = new DeflateStream(response.Filter, CompressionMode.Compress);
        }
    }
}

Anyone else experienced this?

A: Update:
I stumbled upon Rick Strahl's blog post on this and other problems with compression. See here:
http://www.west-wind.com/weblog/posts/2011/May/02/ASPNET-GZip-Encoding-Caveats
His solution, which seems more reliable, is to put the following in Global.asax.cs:
protected void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // Remove any special filtering especially GZip filtering
    Response.Filter = null;
}

Original answer:
I fixed this by applying the compression in OnResultExecuting instead of OnActionExecuting.

Am I saying they are wrong and I am right? No, I'm saying there are different ways to look at it and they all could be right. Unless we were there on the banks of the Jordon that very day, we really don't know every single detail; we only know what's recorded in the Gospels and how we interpret it.
So imagine you're standing on the banks of the Jordan. The Sun is shining; a gentle breeze is blowing, rustling the reeds; the crowd is listening intently to a man called John the Baptist as he preaches a message of repentance.
Let's examine the people that made up the crowd. Jerusalem was a company town. Some of those people literally lived in the shadow of the temple – many worked there. There was a prescribed way to have your sins forgiven. This man is saying something different.
One by one, they waded into the water; then Jesus took his turn.
Unlike the other gospels, Mark spends no time at all on Jesus'ancestry, or the story of his birth or any accounts of his youth. For Mark, the good news begins when Jesus steps into the water.
Wading into the water is always a risk. We depend upon water, yet from the earliest times humans have known water is dangerous, unpredictable. Storm and tsunamis cause the sea to break its bounds; rains cause rivers to rise. Even a wading pool is deep enough to drown in.
In the beginning God wades into the water- chaos and disorder – and creates.
I can see Jesus with a big grin as he wades into the water and says "Baptize me John," and John, shaking, says "Oh no, I need you to baptize me." Then Jesus says "You must, in order for me to fulfill all righteousness." As he says this I can see him kneeling down in the water and John taking a large shell or maybe a wooden bowl and dipping it full of water pouring on the head of Jesus and as Jesus walks back to the bank – the heavens open and the voice speaks.
I don't know if everyone heard it – I am not sure if that's important; what is important is that Jesus begins a journey of understanding who he is and why he came – his ministry involves taking risks.
How the water got on you isn't what's important. What is important is to remember who you are: you are a precious child of God; God has invited you to live your life fully – not to play it safe. The life of faith is fully lived out when we are willing to take risks.
You have been given a small glass bead. Hold it in your hand. Let this bead be a reminder of the strength which God has placed in you. Let it represent your hopes and your desire to be again connected to God.
God of mercy and love, you have called us over the waters, and through the waters of baptism you have blessed us. You have cleansed and healed us, and adopted us as your beloved children. Help us to live as children of the light, serving you faithfully all our days. AMEN.

A great home improvement project can make your space more comfortable, more functional, and even more valuable. But it's an intimidating prospect to some of us. For those who don't consider themselves "handy", it seems like the only option for meaningful home improvement is to call in a professional contractor.
Building a house is an incredibly rewarding yet challenging process. It also brings some unique frustrations and surprise fees that can quickly derail the building process if you aren't attentive. While you have plenty of reasons to have some padding in your budget, such as flexibility on materials costs, you should always be aware of some hidden fees before you begin building your new home.
