Multitudes of connected medical devices that gather data and analyze it in a myriad of ways, are available now.
This is the age of big data, which means all kinds of organizations including healthcare providers must make provisions for scalable and flexible IT infrastructures.
While data analytics may offer various incentives to health care providers, they also raise new issues. Clinical data storage must be HIPAA-compliant. It should also be easily accessible to authorized users, or it will be of no use!
That's why so many healthcare institutions are turning to cloud data storage options.
Low cost, flexibility, and high customization options are just the tip of the cloud. More specifically, they are interested in what Enterprise Dedicated Hosting has to offer!
Cloud hosting may be an umbrella term, but not all hosting is created equal!
Dedicated hosting is essential for healthcare facilities which want to remain compliant with the standards set by HIPAA or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996.
If they are to continue serving the consumers, such institutions will need to be very careful about the stringency around infrastructure oversights and patient data protection.
That means they cannot depend on garden-variety web hosting to supply them with the kind of security they need for healthcare records.
They will need HIPAA compliant web hosting or HIPAA hosting. Only dedicated servers can meet the regulatory standards of HIPAA and still provide the level of service consumers expect from them.
Security breaches and leakage of private patient information aren't unheard of.
Even in this day, at least 128,000 patients had to go through difficult times when a clinic in Arkansas leaked their unencrypted records.
Then there was the exposure of the records of 106,000 patients and 300,000 patients in Michigan and Pennsylvania, respectively.
This year's healthcare computing trends give us several indications about the demand for healthcare and ways of seamlessly fulfilling them.
Firstly, due to the fluctuating nature of the healthcare market, IT use will be decisive in the success of healthcare facilities.The latter will also become the principal reason leading to the facilities opting for cloud computing.
Secondly, healthcare demand will only keep on increasing. The rapidly growing population and a large number of senior demographics will make sure of that. In fact, currently, it is estimated that the demand for healthcare resources will see a boost of 11-17% just between 2014 and 2025.
Additionally, the rate of growing supply of primary care physicians will become insufficient to meet that demand by 2020.
Dedicated servers don't present the same degree of congestion than most shared hosting options would.
During hours that see high traffic, healthcare provider websites on shared servers might get bogged down or crash. At times, usage of certain applications can also hog the bandwidth on the same server, leaving none for the healthcare website users.
Then there are matters of CPU usage and disk space that could lead to congestion, as well.
Yet another reason for the disruption of certain websites could be its resource-heavy nature. In such situations, dedicated hosting may well be the only answer that will ensure that the healthcare provider website stays up.
A healthcare system would need its dedicated server to host sensitive information that can be required at any moment. Access to that information at the right time could be critical in saving lives and providing timely treatments.
Many dedicated hosting services offer support to their customers. By ensuring minimal downtime and resolving issues quickly, such support can prove itself indispensable.
Hosting providers that provide support 24 hours per day on a daily basis are available.
All healthcare institutions need to get the support they can rely on is a good service level agreement (SLA). Even if said support is unavailable at an important juncture, servers with knowledge bases may also be useful.
Healthcare facilities face various challenges, not least because they are vastly different from each other.
They vary on local or international levels, and for reasons like service requirements, government policies, social values, and financial regulations.
Thus, it is crucial to understand that no single standardized IT solution can be used for all healthcare organizations.
To fully step into the digital age, they need the versatility and scalability that only cloud companies can offer to them!

The Lady of the Lake
By: Walter Scott
The Lady of the Lake is a narrative poem by Sir Walter Scott, first published in 1810. Set in the Trossachs region of Scotland, it is composed of six cantos, each of which concerns the action of a single day. The poem has three main plots: the contest among three men, Roderick Dhu, James Fitz-James, and Malcolm Graeme, to win the love of Ellen Douglas; the feud and reconciliation of King James V of Scotland and James Douglas; and a war between the lowland Scots (led by James V) and the highland clans (led by Roderick Dhu of Clan Alpine). The poem was tremendously influential in the nineteenth century, and inspired the Highland Revival.

CHÂTEAU PEY LA TOUR
RESPECT FOR THE TERROIR
Seduced by the richness of this vineyard whose origins go back to the Middle Ages, Dourthe bought the property in 1990. For 25 years, a «redesigned» viticulture has been applied to the entire vineyard, with respect to terroir and soil. The rigorous viticultural work allows a significant distribution of the grape harvests to harvest the grapes only when their maturity is optimal. Château Reserve, which expresses the particular quality of the largest terroirs, is aged between 12 and 14 months in the barrel cellar adjoining the vat room. The results of this work are today rewarded by both customer loyalty and press praise.

CHÂTEAU BELGRAVE
PERFECT KNOWLEDGE OF THE VINEYARD
The estate's great wine is Château Belgrave, ranked fifth Grand Cru Classé in 1855. Thanks to studies carried out on the property to understand the behavior of the vine depending on the nature of the subsoil and its water supply, the Château Belgrave team has acquired a perfect knowledge of the vineyard.
The work of the vineyard, associated with reasoned protection, as well as the harvest have been adapted to this cartography. The wine expresses all the delicacy and personality of this great terroir. Dense and deep, it stands out for its ability to age, its aromatic complexity and its very Saint-Julien character.

CHÂTEAU LE BOSQ
VERY DISTINCTIVE WINE
Le Boscq's reputation dates back to 1749, when Thomas Barton acquired the exploitation rights of this property. For more than 30 years Barton dedicated his life to making wines of recognized quality, often even at the level of a Cru Classé. The winery stands on magnificent grounds, a majestic witness to ancient wealth and history, the Château Le Boscq vineyard today produces a highly distinctive great wine, elegantly combining the power of Saint-Estèphe with unusual finesse." Château Le Boscq is part of an environmental approach, respecting nature, the earth and people. Since the 2018 vintage, Château Le Boscq has benefited from environmental certifications.
CHÂTEAU BRUN SAINT - EMILLION
THE MOST STRICT TRADITION
The owners of this château located in Saint-Emilion are descendants of the illustrious Decazes family. They have owned the winery since 1571 and generation after generation have assumed that they must follow the strictest tradition in the production of family wines.
Made primarily from Merlot and Cabernet Franc, Saint-Émilion wines tend to have a rich, dry tannic structure on the palate, which is balanced by the juicier characteristics of plum and black cherry, along with chocolate and sweet spices, developing flavorful tobacco and cedar characteristics with age.
Located on the right bank of Bordeaux, the Saint-Émilion region can boast of producing the most diverse range of styles, partly due to differences in soil types, from gravel to limestone to sand, but also thanks to production variations and winemakers looking to make their mark.

'Help Now': Syrian Refugee Crisis 'Unprecedented In Its Scope'
One of the greatest tragedies of the Syria war – other than the hundreds of thousands of Syrians killed, maimed, disappeared, detained and tortured, the economy's collapse and the destruction of between 60 and 70 percent of the country — is the growing numbers of refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs).
More heartrending is the fact the figures will keep growing.
Already, over 1.6 million people have little prospect of going back to their Syrian homes in the foreseeable future.
One way or another, being a refugee will affect them for the rest of their life — ask any Palestinian, 65 years on…
According to UNHCR, one million Syrians took refuge in Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, Iraq and Egypt in the six months since December 2012.
"With little prospect of being able to safely return to their homes in the short term and growing hardship in host countries, Syrians face desperate circumstances. At the same time, the governments of the region hosting Syrian refugees and the humanitarian community face an increasingly challenging and complex humanitarian crisis which, beyond refugees' immediate protection and assistance needs, threatens the balance of the entire region," UNHCR says.
Apart from the 1.6 million people who fled to neighboring countries, some 4.25 million are believed to be displaced within Syria and many more are affected by the war.
What is so baffling, considering the figures, is the apathy of the key international players, chiefly the United States and the European Union countries.
Based on arrival trends since the beginning of the year, UNHCR estimates the number of Syrian refugees in need of assistance across the region may reach 3.45 million by year-end 2013. They will be hosted in camps and, for the most part, in local communities.
In an effort to grapple with what might become the largest refugee crisis ever, the United Nations is asking for a record-breaking $5.1 billion in humanitarian aid for Syria and neighboring host countries.
Each refugee has a tale of horror to cope and live with forevermore.
With the help of British charity Syria Relief, a group of women in a Syrian refugee camp in Jordan is coping by sewing and cooking in a DIY workshop.
Each of the women at the workshop is as busy as a bee. Their eyes hide a thousand tales but they only have time for work – all 20 of them embroidering and cooking to support refugee families and their own.
Alarabiya TV anchor Rima Maktabi toured the camp in Jordan and met the women at their improvised workplace.
When they talk, it is mostly about recollections and the loved ones they lost or left behind.
Umm Imad seems weighed down by her 60 years. She embroiders clothing to support family and relatives. Her son was killed in Syria. After burying him, she fled to Jordan.
"They can place me in a golden castle after losing my son, but that would mean nothing to me," she tells Maktabi. 'I simply want to be by his side, that's all."
The Syrian women in the Alarabiya video cover their faces and hide their fear. Even in Jordan, they feel the need to protect their own identity in order to save from harm relatives who stayed behind in Syria.
UK-based Syria Relief tries to alleviate the Syrian refugee burden. It set up the women's workshop to raise money from the sale of its output. The money goes to those in need.Syrian activist Samara says, "When we arrived in Jordan we discovered something called mini projects – meaning you use simple tools to produce something. We didn't want to burden our host society."
Numerically, this is the largest refugee crisis in the history of the modern Middle East.
In Jordan, more than 100,000 Syrians live in the teeming Zaatari refugee camp, set up in July 2012, now the second largest in the world. But the vast majority has settled in cities and towns around the country. Syrian refugees can now make up fully half the population of some northern cities.
As of mid-January 2013, the UN has registered almost 176,000 refugees in Jordan. The Jordanian government estimates 250,000 have entered the country.
In Lebanon, some 510,000 refugees already make up more than 10 percent of the population. Lebanon has elected not to build refugee camps. So the influx is straining the country's decrepit infrastructure and overwhelming its border towns and villages.
Then there is Turkey. Nearly 400,000 refugees fled to government-funded camps early in the Syrian civil war.
According to a study by Salam Kawakibi, a Syrian political scientist based in Paris, there are some five million internally displaced Syrians within their own country. The majority can today be found in or near Damascus, Aleppo, Homs, Deir Ezzor and Idlib.
There are currently almost 70,000 refugees registered with the UNHCR in Iraq. The vast majority reside in the Kurdistan province of Duhok, mostly within Domiz camp — an autonomous region in the far north of the country.
Syria Relief, which is helping refugees with mini projects, was set up in September 2011 to provide help and support to Syrian families in need, in and outside Syria.
Syria Relief is a non-political, non-denominational, non-governmental organization, coordinates a number of charitable activities taking place in the UK to provide help and support to Syrian families and individuals in need, in Syria and outside it, irrespective of religion, geographical location, or political persuasion.
The women's sewing and cooking will certainly help make a difference for some of the refugees around them. But they will be far from the $5.1 billion needed in humanitarian aid.
In a frightening infographic, UNHCR appeals for the $5.1 billion that will help 3.45 million refugees and 6.8 million in need inside Syria — or a total of 10 million Syrians — by putting the figure in context. The $5.1 billion apparently is less than
Brits spend sprucing up their gardens in a year and
Americans spend on ice cream in 32 days!
Will the world be up to the humanitarian aid challenge or will the Syria war go down in history as the point when humanity lost its meaning?

Where will Nepali travellers explore? Here are the top 10 destinations
trending places for 2019
Dec 31, 2018-
Nepal's tourism sector is booming as more Nepalis set out to explore their own country. Travel trade entrepreneurs said that after the earthquake of 2015, domestic adventure seekers started travelling across the country in droves. This year, many adventure, pilgrimage and sightseeing destinations have been seen bustling with domestic tourists. According to Sudan Subedi, senior officer at the Nepal Tourism Board, there is no survey on domestic tourism but based on the registration, sales of tickets and revenue collection across the country, an estimated seven million Nepalis set out to explore the country this year. He said that social media played an important role in influencing travellers behaviour. Kathmandu has even been ranked 5th on the Lonely Planet's top 10 cities to visit in 2019. Based on social media trends and destinations featured by the Nepal Tourism Board, we have listed 10 of the most life-defining destinations in Nepal for 2019 that will surely make you fall in love with the location several times over.
MARDI HIMAL
Mardi Himal trek is off the beaten track in the Annapurna region. It is located east of the famous trekking trail to the Annapurna Base Camp. It is a four to six day trek from Pokhara that offers magnificent views of magical forests, Himalaya ranges and abundance of fresh air. While trekking on this route, you will be able to move past green forests, tea shops with basic facilities and witness astonishing views of Mt Annapurna, Mt Machhapuchre and Mt Hiunchuli. Mardi is located at an altitude of 4,500 metres. Mardi Himal Base Camp, located beneath Mt Machhapuchre, can be reached through three routes—Kande, Dhampus and Sidhing. There are simple guesthouses and homestays along the entire route. The best time to trek Mardi Himal is from mid-September to mid-November and March to May. It can be trekked during the winter December-February period as the skies are clear but due to very cold weather, there is a risk of passes being closed due to snowfall.

Rara Lake, the country's deepest freshwater lake in Mugu district, has been attracting domestic visitors for the past few years. Until recently, Rara used to receive only a handful of visitors, but it has been gradually gaining popularity among Nepalis. According to the Nepal Tourism Board, hundreds of Nepalis have started visiting the lake. However, very few foreigners make the trip to the lake.
The easiest means to reach Rara is to take a flight from Nepalgunj to Mugu, followed by a four to five hour walk to reach the destination. The best time to visit is during autumn, spring and summer.
KHAPTAD
The Khaptad National Park is a protected area in the Far-western Region. It stretches over four districts of Bajhang, Bajura, Achham and Doti and ranges in elevation from 1,400m to 3,300m. Spring (March-May) and autumn (October-November) are the best times to visit the park. There are no lodges or hotels in the park. Trekkers must be self-sufficient in tents, food and all other supplies. The Nepal Tourism Board said that social media has also been influencing Nepali travellers to go to Khaptad.
ANNAPURNA BASE CAMP
The Annapurna Base Camp (ABC) trek is one of the most popular and affordable trekking adventures in Nepal. Nepalis have fallen in love with the famous ABC trail which offers a short and scenic trek. It provides spectacular and close up views of the Annapurna range, Mt Machhapuchre, Mt Hiunchuli, and Mt Dhaulagiri. In spring, it showcases many beautiful flowers including rhododendron and orchids. Machhapuchre massif and the deepest gorge Kali Gandaki will accompany you during the trek. Domestic tourist movement has been on a gradual rise. According to Annapurna Conservation Area Project, more than 3,000 Nepalis trek to ABC annually.
ILAM
A brisk walk in tea gardens, tranquil picnics and sightseeing stops, short treks along gentle slopes, or a trudge into the nearby woods-all this and more are offered by Ilam in the eastern hill district. The number of local tourists visiting the hill regions of Ilam district has swelled in recent years. There are more than a dozen hilltops in Ilam which have been gaining in popularity as tourist destinations. Antu Hill is the most popular destination for sightseers for its unmatched views of the sunrise. While the subtropical climate of Ilam ensures good weather throughout the year, the best time to visit Ilam is between October-December or from April-February.
BARDIYA NATIONAL PARK
Bardia National Park is one of the most undisturbed protected areas in the Tarai and is home to the endangered Royal Bengal tiger and Nepal's famous one-horned rhinoceros. The park located in the far western district of Bardia is bordered by River Karnali in the west, the Churia range in the north, while the River Babai flows right through. Several safari lodges in Bardia provide excellent accommodation and facilities for guests to enjoy wildlife activities. The best time to visit is autumn, winter and early summer when the weather is warm and dry. Bardia can be reached by road via Nepalgunj or by flight to Nepalgunj from where the park can be driven to.
KALINCHOWK
Recently, Kalinchowk has become one of the most trending destinations in Dolakha district. It's because it offers an opportunity for visitors to enjoy snowfall during winter. It is a famous pilgrimage site for Hindus. There is a cable car service between Kuri Bazaar and Kalinchowk Bhagawati Temple. Kalinchowk is located at an altitude of 3,842 metres and 150 kilometres away from Kathmandu. Kalinchowk was previously the starting point to the Everest Base Camp before the Lukla airport was built. During the winter (December-February), you will find snow everywhere. Plans are underway to develop Kalinchowk as snow skiing destination.
The city is a centre for religious and cultural tourism. After Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent visit to Janakpur, the famous Hindu pilgrimage site has seen droves of Indian visitors. Now, Nepalis have also started visiting Janakpur. There are more than a dozen of hotels and a number of dharmashala or pilgrimmes houses operating in the area. These facilities can accommodate nearly 1,000 people a day. Along with the Janaki Temple, other popular sacred places in Janakpur district include Ram Mandir, Shankat Mochan, Rajdevi Temple, Manimandap, Ganga Sagar and Dhanush Sagar among others. The central, provincial and local governments have announced developing Janakpur as one of the main destinations for religious tourism.
JOMSOM AND MUKTINATH
A sacred place for both Hindus and Buddhists, Muktinath is located in the Muktinath Valley at an altitude of 3,710 metres at the foot of the Thorong La mountain pass in Mustang. An increasing number of domestic visitors have been travelling to Muktinath. Favourable weather conditions have also led to more people visiting Kagbeni and Muktinath by both road and air routes. Jomsom is a great place to start trekking. The diverse landscapes and cultures found along the trekking routes give marvelous insight into the way of life of rural Nepali people. A highlight is trekking through the gorge carved by the Kali Gandaki River, which originates in the Tibetan plateau to eventually flow into the Ganges.
Trekking to Mt Everest's base camp is still the ultimate mountaineering adventure for foreigners. To stand at the pinnacle of the earth is one of life's most rewarding experiences. Now, the adventure is not limited to foreigners as many Nepalis today prefer to trek to the base camp which is situated at an altitude of 5,364 metres. There are no roads from Kathmandu to Lukla—the gateway to Mt Everest, and as a result, trekkers reaches Lukla via plane. From Lukla, climbers trek upward to Namche Bazaar. It takes about two days to reach the village, which is a central hub of the area. They then trek another two days to Dingboche and another two days takes them to Everest Base Camp via Gorekshep, the flat field below Kala Patthar (5,545 metres).

AT&T 5G plans could price for speed, not data
Chris Davies - Apr 24, 2019, 2:27 pm CDT
AT&T's 5G service may be split into speed tiers rather than priced by data caps, with the carrier's CEO arguing that the same strategy which has worked in fixed line broadband could prove equally successful – and, for AT&T, lucrative – for next-generation wireless. The carrier is preparing to launch its 5G service for consumers, having paved the way with controversial "5G E" branding for its so-called "5G Evolution" network.
One of the big pitches for 5G has long been the dramatic increase in capacity. As well as higher speeds that next-generation networks should support, they'll be more capable of handling larger numbers of devices simultaneously.
With dealing with data cap absolutes less of an issue, however, consumers and industry observers have been left wondering what, exactly, they'll be paying for their 5G service. AT&T still hasn't confirmed pricing for its consumer plans at this stage. However, speaking on the company's Q1 2019 financial results call today, AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson predicted that 5G pricing would be likely to be based on speed rather than data transferred.
"On the 5G piece, I would be very surprised if as we move into wireless the pricing regime in wireless doesn't look something like the pricing regime you see in fixed line," Stephenson said. "If you can offer a gig speed, some customers are willing to pay a premium for 500 meg to a gig speed, and so forth. So I expect that to be the case, y'know, we're two or three years away from seeing that play out."
The strategy stems from AT&T looking, not to 4G LTE plans which are typically limited by data caps, but fixed line broadband connections, which are more commonly capped by speed. It's arguably not a strange decision for the carrier to make. After all, its current 5G service is focused on businesses.
"Right now, from a 5G standpoint, what we're seeing in terms of adoption tends to be business – in fact it's exclusively business for us right now – it's serving as a LAN replacement product," Stephenson explained. "And we're having really impressive demand, where we turn up the 5G service, from businesses basically saying "we want to put a router in" and it becomes their LAN replacement."
The future of that model, though, as the AT&T CEO sees it, is multiple devices no longer reliant even on a 5G router. "And so now as you begin to think about equipment – whether it be handsets, or tablets, or laptops that have 5G modems within them, that will happen starting this year and really pick up over the next year – then that truly does become a LAN replacement, you don't even need the router at that stage," he predicted.
"And so, the idea that – just like business customers pay more for more speed in a fixed line environment – we expect that there is going to be demand and that there will be price differentiation for speed as you move into a 5G environment."
It won't be an instantaneous change to speed-based tariffs, mind. 5G networks are only gradually rolling out: AT&T currently has 19 markets with service, a fraction of the carrier's total coverage. To begin with, it seems more than likely that most subscribers – even with a 5G-capable device – will only see 5G service a small fraction of the time. Trying to charge based on speed in that situation is unlikely to go down well among users.
As the networks spread, though, the model of usage measurement will have to evolve. What could end up costing users more for high-performance devices and tasks, though, could conversely be beneficial for less speed-focused devices. Another of 5G's benefits is expected to be its power frugality and greater support for low-speed Internet of Things devices, which only require much lower data rates and are far more reliant on low-latency. A speed-based tariff for IoT could be far cheaper, therefore, given the low rates involved.

Q: HTTP request works in Postman but not in Ruby (502 error) I'm quite new to Ruby but have to debug a Ruby code that I did not write.
In the Ruby code, an HTTP request is made. After a bit of logging, I found out that the response object shows a 502 error. When I try the exact same request in Postman, I get the expected successful response :

I even tried to literally copy/past Postman's generated Ruby snippet, and it still gives me a 502 error when fired from the Ruby code.
Here is the part responsible for the query (the request method, post part) :
class PatentApi
  # Patent analysis API wrapper

  require 'uri'
  require 'net/http'

  DEFAULT_ENDPOINT = configatron.patent_api.endpoint.freeze

  # POST /api/v1/graph
  def post_complete_patent_graph(data)
    response = post('graph', data.to_json)
    response
  end

  # Send as POST request
  def post(path, options = {})
    request(:post, path, options)
  end

  # Build the request and return response
  def request(method, path, options)
    url = URI.parse(DEFAULT_ENDPOINT + path)
    Rails.logger.info (url.inspect) # The url looks ok in the logs !
    params = options # After logging, this value is ok
    case method
      when :get
        url.query = URI.encode_www_form(params)
        http = Net::HTTP.new(url.host, url.port)
        request = Net::HTTP::Get.new(url.request_uri)
        request["Accept"] = 'application/json'
        request["Content-Type"] = 'application/json'
        response = http.request(request)
        return response
      when :post
        request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(url, 'Content-Type' => 'application/json')
        request.body = params
        response = Net::HTTP.start(url.host, url.port, :read_timeout => 320) do |http|
          http.request(request)
        end
        Rails.logger.info 'RESPONSE'
        Rails.logger.info (response.code) # 502 ! :(
        Rails.logger.info (response.message)
        Rails.logger.info 'END RESPONSE'
        return response
    end
  end
end

A: Would you try to include the Content-Type header like
request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(url)
request["Content-Type"] = "application/json"

Q: Dll of R code or .R file I am having code1.R code2.R and code3.R. I would like to pass these functions to somebody as DLL such that he can execute these codes without being able to look inside the code.
How can I make DLL of .R files?
I tried various means but unable to do so far.

A: R is interpreted, not compiled. There might be ways to obfuscate your code, but R needs to be able to parse it if you want it to evaluate it.
You could implement your logic in a compiled language (e.g. C or C++), embed that code in a package and then give a binary version of the package to your client.
You could also set up some R server and only give access certain entry point to your client.
But there's no way to "compile" R code.
