The Silver Screen, Cinema, Motion Pictures-words like these bring up images of entertainment and relaxation. So what if I told you that our little rural town on San Juan Island has a mind-blowing group of stories created by filmmakers from around the country and the globe? And, that our film festival will entertain, inform and excite you, your family and friends.
Films from the Pacific Rim & Beyond that will entertain, inspire and enlighten and spur you into action!
Yes, that's right! Friday Harbor Film Festival is in its fifth year of wowing the audiences. Trailblazers of celluloid fame will serve as beacons shining a light on important-to-us-all topics. They explore current environmental and social issues. Each one is thought provoking and inspirational in the messages they dramatize.
The six o'clock news highlights the dangerous world we live in. Terrible acts by politicians bombard our minds. Pollution and disregard for our fragile environment floods the headlines. There are threats of bombs, terrorism, and violent unthinkable acts. Hunger, disease and natural disasters afflict people and our planet. Suffering and injustice flourish. These are the images assaulting us every day. Life is tough and people struggle.
But in some quieter corners, hope gains a foothold where despair has resided. For three days on November 3rd, 4th, and 5th, Friday Harbor presents a total of forty films in five different venues. If you have ever believed that one person can make a difference, then these docudrama creations are for you.
Imagine learning about problems that are being remedied. Then imagine insightful people highlighting problems and energizing others to fight for change. We have even more power than we sometimes believe. And together, we can brainstorm ideas and delegate tasks to right the wrongs and change the future.
Witness the acclaimed film "100 Years: One Woman's Fight for Justice". It documents a Blackfeet woman's battle against the U.S. governments' failure to properly manage millions of dollars held in Indian Trust Funds. Through perseverance and the "might of right" she prevailed. Elouise Cobell tells a troubled tale peppered with injustice and ending in triumph! She and her film are to be given the Andrew McLauglen Lifetime Achievement Award, posthumously.
CrazyWise looks at perception from a new angle. Juxtaposing two typically opposite sounding adjectives, the moviegoer is asked to reconsider. Following the difficulties of two people who suffer from what is traditionally described as mental illness, the viewer learns that other cultures find value in consciousness that is not of the normal kind.
Furthermore, filmmakers often accompany their docudramas or documentaries and are present to join in the discussions after each showing. Audiences then have a chance to ask questions and give their own experiences and opinions on the subject.
Admission fees vary for the general public. Elementary and middle school students can get in for free if accompanied by their parent or guardian. The film festival also extends free entrance to high schoolers. We often find enthusiasm the strongest in the young.
Come to Friday Harbor this November and become a force for change! The Harrison House Suites is a proud advocate for the Friday Harbor Film Festival. Stay with us and you'll be just minutes away from all of the film locations.


Improving health outcomes in low-income populations is crucial to slowing rising healthcare costs in developed countries. Significant efforts have gone into driving productivity of hospitals and physicians, implementing checklists to standardize care for populations, and using historical cost data to forecast high-cost patients. Despite these efforts, we are not significantly better off today than we were 10 years ago, and overstretched healthcare budgets, especially for the low income, elderly and disabled, are threatening the financial stability of government balance sheets for generations to come. So, what are we missing?
Personalized medicine is often said to be one of the cures to the ails of our healthcare systems. Personalized medicine predominantly uses the genetic makeup of an individual to predict a patient's response to therapy or risk of disease. However, with genetics accounting for only 30% of health outcomes, are we getting the biggest bang for our buck by investing more in scientific and medical innovation for personalized medicine? Or are there other ways to personalize healthcare delivery that would result in a higher return on investment?
Social determinants of health are to personalized care management, what genes and biomarkers are to personalized medicine. In fact, social determinants of health, including social behaviours and environmental exposure, account for up to 60% of health outcomes and are particularly important drivers in low-income populations. With personalized care management, healthcare providers could systematically incorporate social determinants of health into their care plan and not only customize the choice of medication, but also prescribe non-traditional care. For example, with the advent of food delivery start-ups, why shouldn't a healthcare provider be able to write a prescription for fresh meals delivered to a patient who is obese and doesn't have access to healthy food options in their neighborhood?
Part of the reason why personalized care management isn't systematically integrated into healthcare delivery today is the lack of a social-behavioural "companion diagnostic". In personalized medicine, companion diagnostics try to understand how multiple variations in a patient's genetic code come together to produce a disease state. In personalized care management, a companion diagnostic would tell the healthcare provider how different social, behavioural and economic factors interact to drive health outcomes for an individual. It is time to apply the proven and successful play book of personalized medicine, that is systematically mapping the human genome, developing and testing drugs based on specific biomarkers, and educating providers, to social determinants of health and personalized care management.
Only when we understand how social determinants of health drive disease states, and when we equip healthcare providers with an easy-to-use companion diagnostic can we accurately measure the risk levels of populations, predict high-cost patients, and transform healthcare into a true consumer-driven industry.
Lower levels of income and wealth in developed countries are associated with poorer health outcomes and lower life expectancy. Research tells us that social factors, including education, racial segregation, social support and poverty account for over a third of total deaths in the United States in a year. Health disparities are commonly viewed through the lens of race and ethnicity but they occur across a range of dimensions and gradually worsen with lower income. In fact, a person's zip code is a stronger predictor than genes for a person's health.
The economic impact of poorer health in these populations drives significant healthcare costs and productivity losses in developed countries. Lower income populations are more likely to generate higher healthcare costs due to their increased risk of illness. Medicaid, the health insurance for low-income children and adults in the United States, is one of the largest unfunded liabilities on the US balance sheet. While a lot of focus has been placed on the impact of the ageing population on healthcare costs, healthcare costs have also been squeezed by the decreasing purchasing power of the low-income population.
Health behaviours and environmental exposure, collectively called social determinants of health, play a significant role in driving health outcomes, especially in the low-income population. The fact that social determinants of health therefore contribute to driving avoidable healthcare costs is well established. There are many community-based projects to tackle social determinants of health, ranging from coordinated approaches such as Accountable Health Communities in the United States, to informal social networks in other countries. However, current approaches to tackling social determinants of health are top-down population based, and aim to apply one model to many individuals in an attempt to standardize care and reduce variation. Standardizing care is important to reduce medical errors and ensure everyone receives the best care available. However, just like the genetic make-up of an individual can drive efficacy of a drug, the social-behavioural profile of an individual can drive efficacy of care programmes.
Healthcare providers should be able to identify and treat the unique social-behavioural barriers for an individual and integrate actionable insights into the healthcare provider's workflow. This socio-behavioural companion diagnostic would therefore have the power to turn healthcare providers into providers of health.
The socio-behavioural diagnostic tests should be actionable – not only to help healthcare providers better understand the barriers to better health, but also to help them direct what care to prescribe. For example, should healthcare providers be able to prescribe patients with lower access to healthy foods prescriptions for food delivery services to prevent obesity? Prescribe mothers of children in polluted neighbourhoods air purifiers to prevent emergency room visits due to asthma? Or prescribe an Uber transport to get patients to their next primary care appointment?
It is known that a small proportion of patients drive a disproportionate amount of healthcare spending. Based on this insight, resources have historically been allocated either to patients who are already sick or patients prioritized based on historical costs. However, less than 50% of patients that were "high cost" in the previous years will be "high cost" in the next one. Therefore, better prediction models based on a socio-behavioural companion diagnostic not only have the benefit of reducing long-term healthcare costs due to prevention, but will boost productivity of existing healthcare expenditure immediately.
1. Governments need to free siloed social data and give access to patient-identifiable data to patient care teams and researchers.
2. Just like providers need education on how to use genomic profile data, healthcare providers need to be educated on how to use social determinants.
3. Healthcare providers need to get better at documenting socio-behavioural barriers to health and the enabling services (e.g. transportation services, nutritional counseling) they provide through the usage of billing codes.
4. Governments need to incentivize insurance companies to pay providers to prescribe non-standard care and reimburse patients for it (e.g. air purifiers).
5. Governments would need to set clearer standards for patient data privacy that are flexible enough to allow healthcare providers to improve the care they provide to patients, while not adversely affecting the patient more broadly.
Big data analytics has advanced significantly in recent years. It is now almost at a point where it will be able to make sense of the terabytes of data on patient populations and integrate insights into the workflow of healthcare providers. Doing so could not only improve health outcomes for the most vulnerable populations in society, but also significantly reduce growth in healthcare costs.

Another Chinese Adventure: Qingdao – british. foodie. dreamer.
Our flight from Ningbo to Qingdao left at 21:05 on Monday night and we arrived just after half past ten. After faffing to get off the plane and pick up our luggage in baggage reclaim, we were in the arrivals hall just after eleven. We checked out the bus that the hostel said would be available to take to get into the city centre but as it was a forty-five minute wait and twenty kuai each, we opted for a taxi that was a hundred kuai and left there and then. We eventually arrived at our hostel, checked in and happily went up to our rooms. I forgot we were staying in a big dorm of seven but the rooms were a good size with lots of space. The unfortunate thing was that there was a man who snored pretty loudly and constantly for half the night. So we didn't sleep very well at all… The first few times I was woken up by it I was able to fall back to sleep, but after a while, this ability seemed to dwindle.. We got up at half past seven in order to shower and have breakfast before nine o'clock. Hayden has a family friend, Jessica, in Ningbo who had kindly offered to take us to see the mountain that morning. At half past nine she rocked up, we all piled into her car and off we went.
The journey to the mountain took about an hour. Once we arrived we had to buy tickets and get on a bus. The set up was quite like zhangjiajie with a free bus to take you to and from some spots within the national park. Once off, we headed upwards to the top. It's only around twenty degrees in Qingdao but we were boiling! After only climbing a small way, we came across the cable car. We decided not to go up it as we didn't want to spend the whole of our afternoon on the mountain as we wanted to see Qingdao City centre too. Thus we headed back. Even though it was pretty to see (well, what we did see was) and it was awesome to be by the sea, it just couldn't compared to Zhangjiajie mountains. As it was already half past twelve by the time we caught the bus, Jessica offered to take us to lunch! It was so kind of her. We went to the Hyatt Regency Hotel to have Beijing duck and other amazing dished including lamb. Oh my word. Lamb. It's not very common in China and this particular dish tasted like perfection. I selfishly just kept helping myself as it was so heavenly. It definitely reminded me of my dad's roast lamb Sunday dinner at home… I cannot wait to have one!!
Following that, as we were still quite far out from the city, we caught a taxi to the harbour where they held the Beijing Olympic water sport events. It was just so nice to be by the sea! We walked along the harbour and around back towards the centre of the city. Luckily the fog/cloud/haze cleared so we were able to snap a few pretty pictures. We ended up walking the whole way home. It was about six kilometres and took us over an hour and a half but it was lovely to see the city. Qingdao is very western looking – like Shanghai – and could easily look like a Eastern European country if it weren't for all the Chinese characters everywhere. We eventually arrived at the hostel after seven and had dinner in the hostel restaurant. It was yummy! Hayden had a pizza, Luis and Becky had pasta and I had lasagna. Mmmmmm. 😏 as we were so exhausted we decided to crash early… However the sleep wasn't any better on Tuesday night.. This time us girls had the treat of two men snoring away.. It was quite amusing how one stopped and the other started in rotation but flipping annoying when all we want is to sleep. I was awake between four and half past six when I eventually dozed off again. This made waking up at eight rather difficult however soon we were up and out.
Wednesday's itinerary was to walk around the main centre and to see the Qingdao Tsingtao Beer Brewery. The city is clean compared to others. And a lot of the buildings have a lot of German architecture which is interesting to see.
Sooooo… We tried to changed our train to another one but all today was sold out. To buy another ticket/exchange it, we would have to wait until the next day. As Antonia was arriving tonight in Beijing to meet us, and the fact that it's a bank holiday on Friday, we decided it was best to fly. We loaded up ctrip (which is like skyscanner but for China) and found a few flights, picked the cheapest and put in our details. Then suddenly it wouldn't work and the prices went up. We made the smart decision to get in a taxi to the airport at that moment because if we can't buy it online (due to it being under three hours before the flight departs), logic dictates that we should be able to buy it in the airport…!! So there we were.. In a taxi heading to Qingdao airport. Our purses whimpering at us for having to unexpectedly fork out more money… And me thinking: what has China done to us?

El Stade Raymond Kopa, hasta 2017 llamado Stade Jean-Bouin, es un estadio de fútbol situado en la ciudad de Angers, en Francia. El recinto fue inaugurado en 1912, pero el actual recinto data de 2010. Pertenece al Municipio de Angers y su equipo titular es el Angers Sporting Club de l'Ouest (SCO).

El nombre se cambió oficialmente de Stade Jean-Bouin a Stade Raymond Kopa el 27 de marzo de 2017 para honrar a la leyenda del fútbol francés Raymond Kopa, quien hizo su debut profesional con el club y murió en la ciudad el 3 de marzo de 2017.

Historia
La historia del Estadio Jean-Bouin, originariamente llamado Estadio Bessonneau por su creador Julien Bessonneau, comienza en 1912. Fue renovado en 1925. En 1957 fue renovado otra vez, su pista de atletismo que rodeaba su campo de fútbol fue destruido y se construyó la tribuna Saint-Léonard. Desde entonces, el estadio cambió de nombre y ahora se llama Stade Jean-Bouin, en honor al maratonista que murió durante la primera guerra múndial. Su capacidad creció, pudo acoger hasta 21 000 espectadores.

En 1993, el estadio conoció una nueva remodelación para cumplir los requisitos de la primera división (Ligue 1). Así pues, construyeron la tribuna Colombier. Pero por seguridad, su capacidad bajó hasta 17 000 asientos. Su famosa colina de hierba situada detrás de una de las porterías fue arrasada. Esa colina acogía los aficionados más fervientes del SCO, era el símbolo del estadio.

En 2010 una nueva tribuna reemplazó la colina, la tribuna Coubertin con una capacidad de 5400 espectadores.

Anécdotas
 Tiempo atrás, la tribuna Jean-Bouin comportaba una terraza en su cumbre.
 El 24 de octubre de 2008, el estadio Jean-Bouin fue el primer estadio que acogió un árbitro femenino (Sabine Bonnin) durante un partido de fútbol entre dos equipos profesionales. Fue durante el segundo tiempo del partido Angers-Tours (2-0).

Teaching descriptive writing is an exciting process.
It's a word playground ... playing around with words, making better substitutes, imagining a scene or character in detail and then expressing it in concrete terms.
But how do you really begin? After reading aloud for many years, your children will have heard wonderful examples of descriptive writing and so the next logical step is that they learn how to replicate what the 'great' authors do!
So... how do we do that?
Show off the best authors and learning from their writing styles!
It's all about using a modeling approach to writing.
Teaching descriptive writing using the Modeling approach is an exciting way to explore descriptive writing techniques used by different authors - and then put that same technique into practice. It is simple, yet, so effective!
What descriptive writing can I use as models?
How can a Character/ Place/ Object be described?
Is there a tool which can help me?
As I began to teach my children how to write descriptively, I created a number of ebooks which go through that exact process. First, we read from the authors; Then, we examine what they have done - and then we apply it.
Modeling the Classics - Teaching Descriptive Writing does that!
In this ebook you will find excellent models of descriptive writing, followed by questions which help the reader identify the author's techniques. Then, using graphic organizers, the student creates his/her own descriptive writing based on the model. Once you have used this ebook, you will easily be able to apply the same techniques to all sorts of literary passages and continue teaching descriptive writing on your own.
Modeling the Classics aims to encourage children to model their own writing, on styles of authors which they already love.
Models of excellent literature from Bambi,The Trumpet of the Swan, Paddington Bear, The Hobbit, The Bronze Bow, Brambly Hedge, Wind in the Willows, Charlotte's Web, Little Britches, Heidi and more.
Models of descriptive writing of a person/animal; Step by Step guide to write descriptively based on one of the models. Four other models for practice.
Models of descriptive writing of a place; Step by Step guide to write descriptively based on one of these models. Four other models to be used for practice.
Models of descriptive writing of an object; Step by Step guide to write descriptively based on one of these models. Four oOther models to be used for practice.
Printable handwriting pages (various sizes to choose from) to copy the models.
Graphic Organizers to help the writer.
The last pages of this e-book contain the information on my website about using Stylistic Elements to teach descriptive writing, followed by some graphic organizers.
Download the 290+ pages onto your computer right now!
Is it directed to the child or adult?
Both. The ebook is written to the child and is written to help both the parent and child view a passage of literature, extract all the prepositional phrases to bring the writing to the barebones, write a simple list of keywords or phrases, and then work with the words and using the similar style used by the author, add interesting phrases, adjectives, verbs and adverbs. The ebook assumes a certain level of understanding of grammatical terms and so younger children will need help initially from the parent/teacher. However, as similar steps are used again and again, the children will readily understand what needs to be done. My 8 year old understands what to do when I say, "Bring it to the barebones."
What if the parent/teacher is not familiar with grammar?
The Descriptive Writing Ebook is scripted and terms are explained and easy to understand. The parts of speech in the step by step guides are even colour-coded for easy understanding.
What age does it cover?
How do I use this ebook?
Remove all the flowery, descriptive parts out of the passage so you are left with the barebones of the passage.
Write an outline of the description. Use only a few keywords. Students are helped to do this through step by step instructions.
The keyword outline is now build upon. The scripted lesson helps the student understand how to add interesting verbs, dual verbs, nouns, pronouns, adjectives, adverbs and create an interest filled paragraph. Graphic organizers are also used.
In this step the student reviews their paragraph and is encouraged to improve sentence openers, using prepositional phrases, adverbial and adjectival clauses, metaphors and similes and dialogue.
Four extra models are provided for extra practice to develop descriptive writing in these categories. However, only one of them is written as a scripted lesson.
In total there are 3 models with scripted, detailed lessons and another 12 models of literature (4 in each category) with 4-5 questions which will help the parent discuss the passage with the child.

DHC-3 Otter
DHC-3 Otter mahogany wood airplane model. Success with the DHC-2 Beaver persuaded de Havilland Canada, in the late 1940s, that there was room in the STOL utility market for a larger version of the Beaver, with cabin space for some 14 passengers or a freight load of up to 2,240 lbs. The company therefore developed the DHC-3 Otter, (which was initially known as the King Beaver). The prototype first flew on December 12, 1951, and the first deliveries of the airplane were made in 1952. The choice of a single engine for an aircraft designed to operate in Canada's harsh climate and sparsely populated hinterland regions may seem lacking in forethought, however, successful operations by the Beaver and other single-engined airplanes had confirmed that the well-proven radials of Pratt &amp, Whitney design were more than adequate for the task, they were universally familiar and, more importantly, were extremely reliable. Like the Beaver, the Otter could operate on wheel, ski, float, or amphibious float landing gears. There were 223 of these built under the designation U-1A for the U. S. Army. When production ceased in 1968, some 460 airplanes had been built. The DHC-3 Otter was powered by one 600-hp Pratt &amp, Whitney R-1340-S1H1-G Wasp radial piston engine, giving the airplane a maximum speed at sea level of 153 mph, maximum cruising speed of 132 mph, economical cruising speed of 121 mph, service ceiling of 18,000 feet, and a range with 2,100-lb. payload and reserves of 875 miles.
Mahogany Wood. Scale: 1/40. Wingspan 17 3/4 inches, Length 16 1/2&nbsp,inches.

Home » Amir Khan: I've been killing myself making weight, maybe I'm meant to be a middleweight?
Amir Khan: I've been killing myself making weight, maybe I'm meant to be a middleweight?
Hogan Photos / GBP
The Briton, who reigned at unified king at the 140 limit from 2011 to 2012, makes a titanic leap up in poundage and class this spring and has now admitted his time campaigning as a welterweight may be over.
"I've been in training camp for the past six weeks doing strength and conditioning," said Khan.
"I felt really strong, too big for my weight class, and I've been killing myself trying to come down in weight. Maybe it turns out that Amir Khan is meant to be a middleweight.
"This is a great opportunity for the world title up against a great fighter. I am ready, and I believe in myself.
"When I got the call from Oscar asking, 'how do you feel about fighting Canelo?' I said, 'with my skills, speed and power, I really believe you guys will see something different in this fight."
At 29, Khan has finally landed the career-defining fight he's craved after failing in bids to share the ring with either Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquaio but starts out as a 5/2 against underdog to succeed.
Only Mayweather himself has been able to put a dent in Canelo's magnificent 48-fight record and Khan would have to pull off one of the shocks of his generation in order to become champion at 160 pounds.


"Yes, I'm emotional about it, happy about it, but just got to put that in a little closet or little drawer until after the season". They are led in scoring by Jimmy Butler with 36 ppg, adding 9 boards per game. The Philadelphia 76ers are -7.5 and the total for this game is listed at 225 on Monday. "I'm sure he'll bounce back and play a little better in the next game".
Because of the lingering left knee tendinitis that kept Embiid out of 14 of the final 24 regular-season games, it was unknown if he would play before the opening tip-off. Dr. David J Chao, who has gained notoriety for diagnosing National Football League injuries in real time on his Twitter account, believes that Embiid's injury is a long-term issue.
In this post we'll focus on the No.3 seeded Sixers, who dropped the series opener to the No.6 seeded Nets 111-102 and, obviously, in so doing, they failed to cover as the closing -7.5 home faves. In 25 minutes off the bench, handling a lot more minutes than he expected to, Davis finished with 12 points and 16 rebounds, playing some huge defense.
For the Nuggets, Jamal Murray's 20 points were not enough, while Nikola Jokic produced a triple-double with 10 points, 14 rebounds, and 14 assists. While Curry remains a key player in this series, the biggest and most obvious headache for Doc Rivers and the Clippers has got to be how they will defend Kevin Durant. Kawhi Leonard tried to answer and force the game into overtime but his long three pointer hit nothing but air. "Earlier in the season we just wouldn't have the composure to close a game like that out".
Day 3 of the 2019 NBA Playoffs consists of a pair of Game 2s, beginning with the Nets in Philadelphia. Led by point guard D'Angelo Russell who had 26 points, the Nets connected on 11 of their 26 shots from three point range. The Nets also got big performances from Dinwiddie (18 points) and Caris LeVert (23 points) off the bench.
However, one of the most important players on Brooklyn's bench was power forward and center Ed Davis, a veteran journeyman who continues to churn out productive outings for his fifth National Basketball Association team. Meanwhile, Tobias Harris had just four points. The favoured exact result is 76ers in seven games at +230. The Clippers found some success running the pick-and-roll with Williams and Harrell, specifically when DeMarcus Cousins was in the game, so they may look to get back to that more in Game 2.

Joint Statement of the Prime Ministers of the Visegrad Group Countries on Ukraine
Joint Statement of the Prime Ministers of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia
The Prime Ministers of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia express deep concern about the dramatic development of events in Ukraine. We strongly condemn the cycle of violence which has already resulted in several fatalities. This cannot be justified by any reason.
The Visegrad Group countries, as neighbours of Ukraine, are convinced that the use of force cannot contribute to the resolution of political conflicts. A further escalation of the crisis endangers the future of Ukraine and threatens with a complete destabilization of the country. In this regard, we are also concerned about the role played by extremist groups in the events.
Therefore, we, the Prime Ministers of the Visegrad Group countries are convinced that all responsible Ukrainian stakeholders—including the authorities, the opposition and representatives of civil society—should be guided by their historical responsibility to preserve a stable, democratic and unified Ukraine. We call on all sides to stop immediately the spiral of violence. We call upon the authorities to respect the right of Ukrainians to peaceful assembly and to the freedom of expression. The cancellation of the laws passed on 16 January is a promising first step towards a possible compromise, which can contribute to finding a way out of this crisis.
We believe in the paramount importance of developing civil society, the mobility of students, independent media, as well as small and medium-sized enterprises. In this regard, introducing a visa-free regime with Ukraine as soon as possible has particular importance. We are ready to further mobilize the International Visegrad Fund to finance projects supporting development of civil society in Ukraine, facilitate people-to-people contacts and offer scholarships for Ukrainian students in V4 countries. We also call for the increase of the Erasmus+ Programme budget in order to expand the opportunity for Ukrainians to study in the EU from their current level of only a few dozen students. Only a genuine and meaningful national dialogue can offer a way out of the crisis and pave the way for the rebuilding of trust and lead towards a stable, democratic and prosperous Ukraine.

Open Health Data: An International Snapshot
Jan 23, 2013 • 0
By Eugene Borukhovich
The 2009 Digital Britain Report described data as 'an innovation currency' and 'the lifeblood of the knowledge economy.' We are now in 2013 and while there is tremendous buzz around open data in general, open health data is definitely lagging behind.
I have been a great proponent of the movement for a number of years after being inspired by Todd Park at a Health 2.0 NYC Chapter event. But it really clicked with me when I saw three young entrepreneurs mashup various environmental and health data, create an MVP app in 6 hours and win two prizes at an open data hackathon. These three students are on their way to starting a company and making a difference in this world while helping healthcare consumers make better decisions in their everyday lives. This is the power of open health data! We, the citizens, ultimately own the data, not our governments and while there is certainly a need to preserve our privacy, there is a lot of "innovation currency" locked up in vaults, desperately waiting to be unleashed.
Below, you will find a brief report (50 slides, but don't get scared!) that Katarzyna Rabczuk and I put together. It showcases how nascent this movement really is, while showing samples of social and economic impacts of these initiatives across the US, UK and a select few Western European countries picked at random.
The United States is undoubtedly leading the way with HealthData.gov and almost 400 valuable datasets published, ranging from Medicare data to epidemiology. Health Datapallooza is already turning 4 with the next event taking place in June of this year.
The United Kingdom is right behind (or ahead, depending which side of the pond you are on) with Tim Kelsey pushing forward and "unleashing the power of the people to save the NHS from a crisis". The next NHS Hack day will take place on January 26th-27th in Oxford and some of the recent initiatives to open up prescription data generated a tremendous amount of buzz after a team that included two startups, Mastodon C & Open Healthcare UK as well as Ben Goldacre, published a report that showed how to save the NHS ~ £200M – this news reached even The Economist.
The Future of Health Is in #Opendata
This Saturday I had the pleasure of helping organize a hackathon that was put together by the Open State Foundation (HackDeOverheid). The theme was "Open Data, open for business" and took place at a very unique place in Rotterdam – WORM (an institute for avant garde recreation). It was a perfect spot to gather almost 150 people from all disciplines and sponsors/partners ranging from the Hogeschool Rotterdam, TNO, Internet Valley Rotterdam to name a few, but also a contribution from Health 2.0.
Open health data is relatively a new initiative within the Open State Foundation with a simple but strong message:
"Open Zorg Data is an initiative to build a community that utilizes open healthcare data, encourages innovation & entrepreneurship, improves transparency in our healthcare system and most importantly turns healthcare into health for our digital citizens"
In the last few weeks, we worked with the Ministry of Health (Ministerie van VWS) to plan out the OpenZorgData Workshop and help inspire the community of developers to use the data for social and entrepreneurial good.
The turn out was great!! We have more then doubled (2X) the number of attendees to the workshop from the previous workshop that took place in Amsterdam. First up in the morning data pitch session was, Ron Roozendaal (CIO of the Ministry of Health), who took a few minutes to introduce all the stakeholders within the Ministry and the newly opened data sets. He exuded enthusiasm and excitement!
Our workshop kicked off at 11:45 with standing room only, but when I asked how many people were hackers planning to use the open health data, only one guy raised his hand (but noted that he had no plans of doing it that day). Here we are: room full of people, Ministry of Health in the room and not one single individual was planning to hack away at the data. We carried on with the presentations where Lany Slobbe, Hans Loonen & Christian Gonzales presented their respective data sets. The workshop presentations finished off with Seth van den Bossche from TNO presenting their open data & Atilla Erdodi showcasing an open API he put on top of the KiesBeter data (opened up back in June of 2012).

Q: Custom Keras/TensorFlow loss function penalising output change My target is timeseries and I am looking for a cost function which would penalise the changes in the predictions, so for a batch size of N and model which has k outputs, in the loss function y_pred will be N x k
So I am looking for a way to do to introduce a penalty in the loss function like:
K.sum(K.abs(np.diff(y_pred)) * alpha)

Where alpha is custom input 1 x k cost per each change for each target. I am looking for a way of doing this kind of np.diff with the Keras.backend, is this possible? Or maybe there is a way of converting these tensors into np.arrays, do all my shenanigans and then back to tensors?

A: You can try this:
y_pred[:,1:] - y_pred[:,:-1]

2 year night shifter thinking about days need help!!
Hi fellow nurses! I would really appreciate all of your input in this. I am a nurse of a little over 2 years. I had orientation on days and hated nursing (I am not sure if I hated it because I was so overwhelmed, I didn't work in patient care until nursing school so I had no idea about anything). On orientation I cried all the time and wanted to quit. I went to nights and that all changed. I didn't dread going in and I gained confidence and skills. I became a charge nurse on nights after a year and I believe I am really good at being charge. Lately I have been feeling on nights that I don't belong, the other nurses have gotten younger very clicky and I feel out of place now. All of my friend night shifters have since moved away or gotten new jobs :/. I have also been catching any and every cold possible (I am sick atleast once every 2 months). I talked to my doctor and he said it's because I work nights. I'm so used to nights that I think I'm used to no sleep, being in a bad mood, not having motivation to get things done on my days off, etc. A days position popped up and I have 4 days to decide. Everyone on days has been supportive and telling me I will be ok and I will feel better. But on nights my schedule is pretty great, I am every 3rd weekend which will change to every other on days. I also get 8 days off every 6 weeks, which I will lose going to days I will only have a 4 day stretch now. I will also lose being able to park in the parking ramp and will now have to shuttle in on days. Days scares me because I feel I don't know a lot that goes on and I feel a lot will be thrown at me and I will drown. I have never planned on staying on nights forever either due to wanting to start a family eventually. This decision has been eating away at me. I would love some support and advice from you all. Thanks so much!!

Baseball5 lands in Great Britain
The new WBSC urban discipline Baseball5 was played for the first time in Great Britain at the Kent and Medway Business Games (KMBG), with almost 150 people participating of the multi-sport event. Baseball5 first appeared in the UK on May 20, with a preparation clinic for the KMBG.
The new WBSC urban discipline Baseball5 was played for the first time in Great Britain at the Kent and Medway Business Games (KMBG), with almost 150 people participating in the multi-sport event. Baseball5 first appeared in the UK on May 20, with a preparation clinic for the KMBG.
At the Business Games, two teams played a slightly adapted version of the game, with a time limit ensuring that all participants saw plenty of action. Kent Sport ran the event after attending the May clinic and was thrilled with Baseball5's inclusive and simple format.
"It was fantastic to see how quickly people who have no previous knowledge or experience of the sport were able to pick up Baseball5," remarked Tim Sells from Kent Sport. "We had a wide range of abilities amongst the teams, but the simplicity of having no equipment meant that all the participants were able to achieve successful results. The small playing area and fast pace of the game kept everyone engaged throughout and feedback was really positive."
BaseballSoftballUK Development Department goal is to introduce Baseball5 as an urban format of the sport, particularly in areas or communities where space and resources are limited.

Generic top-level domain
Photos (application)
Generic top-level domains (gTLDs) are one of the categories of top-level domains (TLDs) maintained by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) for use in the Domain Name System of the Internet. A top-level domain is the last label of every fully qualified domain name. They are called generic for historic reasons; initially, they were contrasted with country-specific TLDs in RFC 920.
The core group of generic top-level domains consists of the com, info, net, and org domains. In addition, the domains biz, name, and pro are also considered generic; however, these are designated as restricted, because registrations within them require proof of eligibility within the guidelines set for each.
Historically, the group of generic top-level domains included domains, created in the early development of the domain name system, that are now sponsored by designated agencies or organizations and are restricted to specific types of registrants. Thus, domains edu, gov, int, and mil are now considered sponsored top-level domains, much like the themed top-level domains (e.g., jobs). The entire group of domains that do not have a geographic or country designation (see country-code top-level domain) is still often referred to by the term generic TLDs.

A photograph or photo is an image created by light falling on a light-sensitive surface, usually photographic film or an electronic medium such as a CCD or a CMOS chip. Most photographs are created using a camera, which uses a lens to focus the scene's visible wavelengths of light into a reproduction of what the human eye would see. The process and practice of creating photographs is called photography. The word "photograph" was coined in 1839 by Sir John Herschel and is based on the Greek φῶς (phos), meaning "light", and γραφή (graphê), meaning "drawing, writing", together meaning "drawing with light".
The first permanent photograph, a contact-exposed copy of an engraving, was made in 1822 using the bitumen-based "heliography" process developed by Nicéphore Niépce. The first photographs of a real-world scene, made using a camera obscura, followed a few years later, but Niépce's process was not sensitive enough to be practical for that application: a camera exposure lasting for hours or days was required. In 1829 Niépce entered into a partnership with Louis Daguerre and the two collaborated to work out a similar but more sensitive and otherwise improved process.

Photos is a photo management and editing application developed by Apple. It was released as a bundled app in iOS 8 on September 17, 2014–replacing the Camera Roll–and released as a bundled app to OS X Yosemite users in OS X 10.10.3 update on April 8, 2015.
In June 2014, it was announced that Apple planned to discontinue programs iPhoto and Aperture, to be replaced by a new program, Photos, at some point in 2015. Photos was included with OS X Yosemite 10.10.3, released as a free update to users on April 8, 2015.
Photos is intended to be less complex than its predecessor. Photos are organized by "moment", a combination of time and location metadata attached to the photo.
Photos tucks complex editing tools into several simple controls by default. Photos also "reward curiosity and additional clicks with ever more granular manipulation capabilities". A one-click automatic enhance button is also available.
iCloud Photo Library
iCloud Photo Library is heavily integrated into the program, keeping photos and videos in sync with various Apple devices designated by the user (such as Macs, iPhones, iPads, and Apple Watches), including edits and album structures. Storage can be bought in a number of tiers, starting at 5 GB (free) and going up to 1 TB. While iCloud integration is still optional, it is much more core to the program than it was with iPhoto.

And I don't know if you're coming back to earth again
I hope there's a heaven and the light's good
I hope you can see us all from there

Got photos, memories and an empty space
Nothing will feel the same now you've gone
I cannot dignify this let alone justify it
You had got it so together

To the popular imagination, she is the archetypal warrior queen, a Medieval Boudicca, renowned for her heroic struggle against the Danes and her independent rule of the Saxon Kingdom of Mercia. In fiction, however, she has also been cast as the mistreated wife who seeks a Viking lover, and struggles to be accepted as a female ruler in a patriarchal society.
The sources from her own time, and later, reveal a more complex, nuanced and fascinating image of the 'Lady of the Mercians'. A skilled diplomat who forged alliances with neighbouring territories, she was a shrewd and even ruthless leader willing to resort to deception and force to maintain her power. Yet she was also a patron of learning, who used poetic tradition and written history to shape her reputation as a Christian maiden engaged in an epic struggle against the heathen foe.
The real AEthelflaed emerges as a remarkable political and military leader, admired in her own time, and a model of female leadership for writers of later generations.
