We need to find out which is the best way to implement the API to select and use several TRX depending on the test.
See https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/c/4674/ for related discussion. Summary: Have a generic BTS API with something like set_enabled_trx(NUM), get_enabled_trx(), which sets a enabled_trx variable which is used at conf_for_bsc() time to only pass "enabled_trx" amount of trx in trx_list. This can be configured by default too using a "enabled_trx" config option for each bts in resources.conf.
We also lack multiple TRX support in osmo-bts-trx. It should not be difficult to add support for it. We basically require to launch a new osmo-trx process (if launch_trx option is enabled) for each TRX configured.
We can then look at bts_octphy.py to see which code we can share/merge (move into OsmoBtsMainUnit) that handles several TRX. Octphy has some specific constrains so we may not be able to share everything, as it requires to set up the phys and instances in a given way depending on hw_addr.
We also lack multiple TRX support in osmo-bts-trx.
I presume you want to say "in the osmo-gsm-tester support for osmo-bts-trx" ?
two phy_instances in one phy_link.
osmo-trx, whcih I believe is out of scope here.
yes of course :-) I was writing that having osmo-gsm-tester context in mind.
Ah thanks for the clarification, I wrote everything from what I remembered at the time off the top of my head. Then supporting it (several phy instances per phy device) should be easier than expected then. Let's target for that one then. However, I'm not sure if we actually have any osmo-trx devices that works with more than 1 trx. AFAIK sysmocell5000 doesn't support ore than 1, and same goes for B200. The LimeSDR (not the mini one) theoretically could support 2 TRX.
theoretically could support 2 TRX.
really curious, where you found that information, because it's wrong.
so I assume it was already working back then.
I recall seeing it when doing a quick look at https://www.crowdsupply.com/lime-micro/limesdr-mini (search for "Comparison Table"). It states LimeSDR has 2 TX and 2 RX channels while for LimeSDR Mini it states 1+1. Did I understand that information incorrectly?
Actually, now that I look closer at it, it seems to be that Ettus B200 supports only 1 while Ettus B210 supports 2.
of how many individual GSM RF carriers you are putting on it.
Side note: See https://gerrit.osmocom.org/#/c/osmo-gsm-tester/+/10583/ as an example on how to set up osmo-gsm-tester config to use more than 1 TRX.
what's that status here? aside from the "side note" 25 days ago, there hasn't been any update for 9 months?
Status is: We have a reasonably good way to define and configure several TRXs now in osmo-gsm-tester, and it has been tested with nanobts. What is lacking is implementing and testing the related bits in ./src/osmo_gsm_tester/bts_osmo.py to generate the osmo-bts-trx .cfg file with those TRX, and pass the related config to osmo-bsc. I guess we also need to configure osmo-trx launched accordingly (1 channel per TRX?).
I can work on that soon, shall I increase priority?
However, we cannot enable it yet for B200 because that on can only do multiTRX through multi_arfcn and the APU machine we use to run osmo-gsm-tester cannot cope with CPU requirements added by multi_arfcn overhead. osmo-bts-trx and osmo-trx will fail after a few seconds due to timers failing to do stuff on time.
roh , most probably we'll need to upgrade it to an APU2. Maybe we should do some manual tests with one to make sure an APU2 is enough beforehand too.
Tomorrow I'll give a try to sysmocell5000 to see if it supports configuration of 2 TRX.
Assigning to roh for him to set up a core network with an ettus B200 in an APU2 with osmo-trx running with multi-arfcn enabled to see if the APU2 is able to keep up with the CPU load.
In osmo-bsc, you need to set the arfcn for each TRX with a difference of 4. In osmo-gsm-tester case we use 868 and 872.
i did some tests now and compared multi-arfcn on apu2 to only one arfcn.
one arfcn: one core at ~70% load. system working nicely.
multi-arfcn: one core at 100%, one at 70%, one at 30 and one at 25. the osmo-trx-uhd process shows 250-260% - lots of skipping buffers, system overloaded.
Wed Sep 19 13:31:11 2018 DDEV <0001> UHDDevice.cpp:857 [tid=140404717168384] An internal receive buffer has filled at 307.432 sec.
<0007> l1sap.c:463 1285625/969/03/17/41 Invalid condition detected: Frame difference is 1285625-1285559=66 > 1!
maybe the load could be even more threaded, but i doubt that this will be enough to get this working with an apu2.
i guess we'll need some i3 or i5 to do this kind of math - if it cannot be optimized a bunch more.
also the signal slope of the 2nd trx looks quite bad, but i am not sure if that changes with enough cpu. also the bts was crashing so fast it was difficult to capture.
The enclosure is only 25cm deep, so it fits nicely into our LTHW rack.
I added a few commits to osmo-gsm-tester to be able to run osmo-trx in a remote machine through ssh (took more than expected due to issues with killing process after ssh session is stopped).
I then configured the new machine and run some tests to check how it behaves. With 1 TRX is runs nicely and tests pass. However, when running with multi-arfcn enabled and 2 TRX, the MS is able to see the network but registering fails with status=denied.
This is how I'm running it (with osmo-gsm-tester branch pespin/remote-trx): "-s ussd:trx-b200+mod-bts0-numtrx2+mod-bts0-chanallocdescend"
Looking more in detail at traces (see attached run.tgz), GSMTAP shows all the usual System Information downlink messages, and I can even see an uplink RACH request (gsmtap.uplink == 1), but nothing else.
I tested B200 with 2 chan and multi-arfcn on my local setup, and it's working fine there (see #3475).

Yea! I know this is months' old, but I *JUST* found it, what a treat. Which is also funny timing because the only reason I found it is because I finally clicked on to my own blog to *gasp* write a post. Let's do this! We can do this! At least occasionally, right?


Amsterdam Research - Amsterdam UMC has received more than half a million from ZonMw to improve the care aimed at work participation for patients with a knee prosthesis.
Amsterdam UMC has received more than half a million from ZonMw to improve the care aimed at work participation for patients with a knee prosthesis.
Amsterdam UMC has received a more than half a million grant from funding agency ZonMw to improve the care aimed at work participation for patients with a knee prosthesis. This new care has the objective to improve return to work of this patient group. With the funding, researchers and clinicians of Amsterdam UMC, location VUmc (department of Public and Occupational Health) and Amsterdam UMC, location AMC (Coronel Institute for Occupational Health, and the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery) will work together with six hospitals to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of this care program.
'We are thrilled with this research grant', says project leader dr. Pieter Coenen. 'We expect that our program will improve the quality of life of people undergoing knee replacement surgery, while it will reduce the societal costs of healthcare and work productivity loss.' The care program consists of active referral of the orthopaedic surgeon to a specialised (para)medic case manager, a rehabilitation program focusing on achieving patient-oriented goals and tailored advised that will be provided through a mobile app. This program will be evaluated in a large research study with patients from six hospitals in the Netherlands.
It is estimated that by the year 2030 there will be 57,900 people undergoing knee replacement surgery in The Netherlands. This reduces patients' participation, as it takes an average of fourty weeks for patients to return to work after this surgery. With the care that will be evaluated in this research, researchers of Amsterdam UMC expect to improve return to work of this patient group substantially.

The Children of Lir
Written by Ryan Grace on 30/01/2023
The Children of Lir is a legend from Irish mythology and perhaps one of the best known and globally recognised tales of Ireland. This pillar of Irish folklore, named in Irish as Oidheadh Chlainne Lir, is a story of loss, enduring love, and the freedom of suffering brought about by Christian faith. Rather unsurprisingly, The Children of Lir is rooted in religious motifs and symbolism, complimented by spellbinding elements of druids and magical spells.
In this article we are going to look at the legend of The Children of Lir, major plot points and symbolism, and the lasting effects the tale has had on Irish culture and society.
The Legend of The Children of Lir | Oidheadh Chlainne Lir
Before we continue, it's worth noting that various versions of the full tale of The Children of Lir can be found very easily and at no cost online. We would recommend reading the story before continuing this article to really get the full effect! In a nutshell, The Children of Lir is a rather melancholic tale of the fate of Lir's four children Aodh, Fionnghuala, Fiachra and Conn.
The fact that The Children of Lir title has also been rendered as The Tragic Story of the Children of Lir and even The Violent Death of the Children of Lir should give you some indication of the tale's gloomy undertones.
The Children of Lir recounts the story of Lir's children's new stepmother Aoife who, having grown jealous of the children's relationship with Lir, casts a spell and turns them into four white swans. They remained as swans at Lake Derravarragh in Westmeath for four hundred years before fleeing to the Sea of Moyle off the Irish coast. Here they spent a further miserable three hundred years before travelling to Erris in Mayo.
They would go on to visit their childhood home at Sídh Fionnachaidh in Armagh to find their father long passed and their house derelict and unkept, before returning to Erris once more. Here they met a Missionary named St. Mochaomhóg who ended their seemingly endless enchantment and turned them into withered old men an old woman.
Finally, the Christian Missionary baptised the children of Lir before they died peacefully and were buried together.
The Meaning Behind the Tale
You'd be immediately forgiven for wincing at The Children of Lir's seemingly ruthless forlorn nature. It is not a tale of courageous adventure or a quest for knowledge or deeper meaning as so many legends tend to be. The Children of Lir instead incorporates jealousy, sorrow, dark magic, and struggle as some of its main plot points and motifs.
From a religious perspective, The Children of Lir is obvious and forthcoming with its positive depiction of Christianity and turning to God as a liberator and a saviour. Having suffered under Aoife's spell for centuries, it is only by trusting in the kindness and authenticity of the Christian Missionary that Lir's children are saved and freed from their sorrows.
It's not hard to imagine why a tale such as this would become a champion of Irish folklore, with its combination of magic and fantasy with the grounding message of freedom granted through Christianity.
The Children of Lir in Modern Ireland
The legend of The Children of Lir remains to this day one of the most popular and renowned stories in Irish mythology. The scale and far-reaching nature of this tale has allowed it to penetrate the worlds of Irish culture and fashion. Over the years The Children of Lir has become the muse for countless classical and modern music compositions. It's also inspired plenty of sculptures and stained glass creations across Ireland. Moreover it's become a common reference in other Irish literature works such as poetry and novel adaptations.
The tale of The Children of Lir has also become a major influence in modern Irish jewellery. In particular, pendants and brooches depicting Lir's children as the four white swans has become an iconic staple of Celtic jewellery for girls and women alike. Many like to wear these stunning depictions of the intertwining swans as a subtle yet elegant tribute to one of Ireland's most iconic tales; The Children of Lir.

Men of any age prefer women from 20 to 29 years
Another one clear evidences that men and women perceive sexual relations differently.
When it comes to choosing a sexual partner, men of all ages fantasize about only one type of woman — 20-year-olds, according to a new study. Researchers from Finland surveyed 12,656 men and women aged 18 to 49 in an attempt to study the age preferences of sexual partners. Each participant in the experiment was asked about what age group during the last year seemed to him the most sexually attractive, and with representatives of which age group the subject has sex in fact.
As the researchers expected, the answers to these questions varied depending on the sex of the subject. Women tended to be interested in men of their own age or slightly older. In particular, girls in their late teens and women in their early twenties prefer partners who are four years older, and this preferred age difference increases as the woman gets older. But men, as a rule, are interested only in one age group — in women in their third decade. This rule applies even to those in their late teens.
The researchers argue that the sexual preferences of both men and women are based on features of evolutionary biology. They believe that women are looking for older men because of the «resources» they have to offer, including the ability to help with offspring: «Men mature later than women, and in our evolutionary past, it was two parents who were needed to put offspring on their feet.»
The researchers also believe that male sexual preferences are shaped by the opportunity of birth of future offspring. In particular, men are interested in those women who can be most prolific.
«The highest ability to reproduce offspring is observed at the age of 20 years, and after 35 years, it begins to decline steadily,» – the researchers explain.
And what about the researchers' second question, which they used to try to find out whether the participants in the experiment had sex with members of their preferred age group? The answers again depended on gender.
«Women showed matching objects of their sexual interest and objects of their actual sexual activity, while men showed frequent mismatch of sexual preferences and real objects of sexual activity,» the researchers wrote.

Polanski to fight extradition to the US
Sep 28, 2009 at 1:01 PM Sep 28, 2009 at 1:02 PM
Imprisoned director Roman Polanski is in a "fighting mood" and will battle U.S. attempts to have him extradited from Switzerland to California to face justice for fleeing a 1978 sex charge, his lawyer said today.
An international tug-of-war over the 76-year-old director escalated today as France and Poland urged Switzerland to free him on bail and pressed U.S. officials all the way up to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on the case.
Polanski was in his third day of detention after Swiss police arrested him Saturday on an international warrant as he arrived in Zurich to receive a lifetime achievement award from a film festival.
Authorities in Los Angeles consider Polanski a "convicted felon and fugitive." The director had pleaded guilty to unlawful sexual intercourse in 1977 with a 13-year-old girl. He was sent to prison for 42 days, but then the judge tried to renege on the plea bargain. On the day of his sentencing in 1978, aware the judge would sentence him to more prison time, Polanski fled to France.
Polanski has told Swiss officials that he will contest a U.S. request that he be transferred to the United States, attorney Herve Temime said in an e-mail. Temime said Polanski's legal team would try to prove that the U.S. request was illegal and that the Oscar-winning director should be released from Swiss custody.
"Taking into account the extraordinary conditions of his arrest, his Swiss lawyer will seek his freedom without delay," Temime said.
The lawyer said he was able to speak with Polanski from his Zurich cell and that the director was allowed to meet with his wife, French actress Emmanuelle Seigner.
"He was shocked, dumbfounded, but he is in a fighting mood, and he is very determined to defend himself," Temime said.
Now a complicated legal process awaits all sides. While France expressed hope that Polanski would be freed shortly, Swiss officials said there would be no rash decision.
The Swiss Justice Ministry on Monday did not rule out the possibility that Polanski, director of such classic films as "Chinatown" and "Rosemary's Baby," could be released on bail under very strict conditions that he doesn't flee Switzerland.
Justice spokesman Guido Balmer said such an arrangement is "not entirely excluded" under Swiss law and that Polanski could file a motion on bail. But he said Switzerland's top criminal court would undertake a thorough examination of evidence before deciding on any request, and that would take time.
"This is a legal story," Balmer told The AP. "There is no room for political pressure."
In Paris, French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said he hoped Polanski could be quickly freed by the Swiss, calling the apprehension a "bit sinister." He and his Polish counterpart Radek Sikorski wrote to Clinton and called Swiss Foreign Minister Micheline Calmy-Rey about the case.
"(Polanski was) thrown to the lions," said French Culture Minister Frederic Mitterrand. "In the same way that there is a generous America that we like, there is also a scary America that has just shown its face."
Polanski, who has dual French-Polish citizenship, has hired Swiss lawyer Lorenz Erni to represent him in Switzerland.
Polanski seems most likely to spend several months in detention, unless he agrees to forgo any challenge to his extradition to the United States. Under a 1990 accord between Switzerland and the U.S., Washington has 60 days to submit a formal request for his transfer. Rulings in a similar dispute four years ago over
Russia's former atomic energy minister Yevgeny Adamov confirmed that subjects should be held in custody throughout the procedure.
The U.S. request for Polanski's transfer must first be examined by the Swiss Justice Ministry, and once approved it can be appealed at a number of courts.
The 2005 saga over Adamov's extradition, eventually to Russia and not the U.S., took seven months. The case also set a possible precedent for France, which may wish to try one of its own nationals in a domestic court rather than in Los Angeles.
For now, Polanski is living in a Zurich cell, where he receives three meals a day and is allowed outside for one hour of daily exercise.
Rebecca de Silva, spokeswoman for the Zurich prison authorities, refused to say exactly where Polanski was being held for security reasons, but said cells are usually single or double occupancy and that each room contains a table, storage compartment, sink, toilet and television.
Family and friends can only see Polanski for an hour each week, but that does not include official visits from lawyers and consular diplomats, de Silva said.
The Justice Ministry insisted yesterday that politics played no role in its arrest order for Polanski, who lives in France but has spent much time at a chalet in the luxury Swiss resort of Gstaad. That has led to widespread speculation among his friends and even politicians in Switzerland that the neutral country was coerced by Washington into action.
Temime, Polanski's lawyer, told the daily Le Parisien that the filmmaker stayed in Gstaad for months this year.
"He came here, but I have no idea how frequently," said Toni von Gruenigen, deputy mayor of Saarnen, where the famously discreet community is located. "He kept a low profile."
Balmer, of the Justice Ministry, said the court theoretically could confine Polanski to his Gstaad chalet, but noted that "up to now there has never been a case of house arrest in such a situation."
The U.S. has had an outstanding warrant on Polanski since 1978, but the Swiss said American authorities have sought the arrest of the director around the world only since 2005.
Polanski has asked a U.S. appeals court in California to overturn a judges' refusal to throw out his case. He claims misconduct by the now-deceased judge who had arranged a plea bargain and then reneged on it.
His victim, Samantha Geimer, who long ago identified herself, has joined in Polanski's bid for dismissal, saying she wants the case to be over. She sued Polanski and reached an undisclosed settlement.
Earlier this year, Superior Court Judge Peter Espinoza in Los Angeles dismissed Polanski's bid to throw out the case because the director failed to appear in court, but said there was "substantial misconduct" in the handling of the original case.
Espinoza said he reviewed not only legal documents, but also watched the HBO documentary, "Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired," which suggests there was behind-the-scenes manipulations by a now-retired prosecutor not assigned to the case.
A native of France who was taken to Poland by his parents, Polanski escaped Krakow's Jewish ghetto as a child during World War II and lived off the charity of strangers. His mother died at the Nazis' Auschwitz death camp.
Polanski has lived for the past three decades in France, where his career has continued to flourish; he received a directing Oscar in absentia for the 2002 movie "The Pianist." He and Seigner have two children.
He has avoided traveling to countries likely to extradite him. Balmer said the difference this time was that authorities knew when and where Polanski would arrive.
Balmer also rejected any hint that the arrest was somehow aimed at winning favor with the U.S. after a series of bilateral spats over tax evasion and wealthy
Americans stashing money at Swiss banking giant UBS AG.
"There was a valid arrest request and we knew when he was coming. That's why he was taken into custody," Balmer told The AP. "There is no link with any other issues."
The arrest prompted angry criticism Monday from fellow filmmakers and actors across Europe.
"It seems inadmissible ... that an international cultural evening, paying homage to one of the greatest contemporary filmmakers, is used by police to apprehend him," says a petition circulating in France and signed by artists including Costa Gavras, Stefen Frears and Monica Bellucci.
Oscar-winning director Andrzej Wajda and other Polish filmmakers also appealed for Polanski's immediate release.
"(He has) atoned for the sins of his young years," Jacek Bromski, head of the Polish Filmmakers Association, told The AP. "He has paid for it by not being able to enter the U.S. and in his professional life he has paid for it by not being able to make films in Hollywood."

Stream Rustie's New Surprise Album, EVENIFUDONTBELIEVE
Put down that bowl of Lucky Charms; the only sugar rush you're gonna need this morning is the record that Rustie dropped out of the blue today. Available to stream below via Spotify and a few SoundCloud singles, EVENIFUDONTBELIEVE finds the Glasgow producer in top form, scrapping the mixed bag music of last year's Green Language LP for a full-on reminder of why we fell for Rustie's manic panic melodies in the first place.
"With the first albums on Warp, they kind of did everything," he explained in a new FACT interview. "I just made the music and left it all to them, but it's not really satisfying to do that."
What he'd rather do is release tracks without a press rollout or proper fanfare—as has been the case over the past three months—and let things come together naturally. Or as Rustie put it, "Some of the tracks have been around for a long time, but it's just kind of gelled together recently. At first I thought I would have an EP, but then there was so much with a similar vibe that it turned into an album pretty naturally. I never really have a plan, but some of the tracks were getting good reactions [live], and there was a kind of sound aesthetic going on with them, so it made sense to skip the EP and go straight to an album."

Grywalizacja (również gamifikacja, gryfikacja z ) – wykorzystanie elementów gier i technik projektowania gier w kontekście niezwiązanym z grami, mające na celu angażowanie ludzi, motywowanie do działania, pobudzanie do nauki i rozwiązywania problemów przy osiąganiu przy tym pożądanych zachowań lub innych założonych celów.

Grywalizacja może być rozumiana jako produkt, sposób myślenia, proces, doświadczenie, podejście do projektowania. Jest wykorzystywana w takich obszarach jak: edukacja, opieka zdrowotna, zarządzanie kapitałem ludzkim, marketing, sprzedaż, zarządzanie projektami, zarządzanie zespołem, zarządzanie procesami z udziałem wiedzy.

Elementy mechaniki gier
Mechanika znana z gier (np. komputerowych) wykorzystywana do grywalizacji projektów obejmuje:
 zadania i wyzwania dla uczestników lub grup (zwykle są zgodne z oczekiwaniami autora projektu);
 pasek postępu lub inną formę prezentacji jak blisko osoba jest do zakończenia zadania lub przejścia na kolejny poziom;
 odznaki za osiągnięcia – ukończone zadania lub wyzwania (element wspierający wiralność projektu);
 poziomy trudności / rozwoju (osiągnięcie pierwszych zadań jest bardzo proste, wraz ze wzrostem doświadczenia uczestników rośnie poziom trudności zadań, z czasem konieczne jest angażowanie większej liczby uczestników do wykonania niektórych zadań);
 rywalizację indywidualną i grupową;
 współpracę uczestników dla osiągnięcia wspólnego celu (pozwala to zacieśniać więzi społeczne);
 rankingi (osób i grup osób);
 punkty – wirtualną walutę przyznawaną za wykonanie zadań (liczba przyznawanych punktów jest proporcjonalna do skali trudności zadania i jego znaczenia dla autora projektu);
 wirtualne przedmioty ;
 system nagradzania, wymiany, kolekcjonowania, możliwości obdarowywania innych służące do podwyższania statusu uczestników lub zacieśniania więzi społecznych wewnątrz projektu (element wspierający wiralność projektu);
 system komunikacji pomiędzy uczestnikami – fora, e-maile, chaty (wspierają budowanie więzi społecznych pomiędzy uczestnikami).

Mechanizmy gry
Producenci gier komputerowych, takich jak World of Warcraft doprowadzili do perfekcji system, który wciąga użytkowników w intensywną interakcję z grą. System jest na tyle silny, że według raportu Nielsena z 2008 roku, czas spędzony na graniu w World of Warcraft był dłuższy, niż czas spędzony na graniu w pozostałe najpopularniejsze gry z pierwszej dziesiątki razem wzięte.

Potrzeby użytkowników (motywacja wewnętrzna i zewnętrzna) realizowane przez poszczególne elementy mechaniki gier (przykłady):
 status – podwyższanie własnego statusu w konkretnej społeczności (poziomy zaawansowania i odznaki);
 współzawodnictwo – osobiste i grupowe (rywalizacja i wyzwania);
 osiągnięcia i samodoskonalenie – pokonywanie kolejnych osiągalnych wyzwań (poziomy trudności, paski postępu, rankingi);
 poczucie wspólnoty i możliwość kontaktu z innymi osobami o podobnych potrzebach i zainteresowaniach oraz możliwość samoekspresji (fora, maile, chaty);
 handel (wymiana wirtualnych przedmiotów i punktów);
 altruizm (przekazanie wirtualnych przedmiotów lub punktów);
 zagrożenie – użytkownika lub grupy, do której przynależy;
 niechęć do straty () pojawia się na skutek szybkiego postępu osiągnięć na początku gry, dając uczestnikom poczucie tworzenia wirtualnego bytu/dobra, które szkoda później porzucić.

Poniżej znajduje się omówienie mechanizmów, które są używane do wciągnięcia graczy w świat gry.

Kolekcjonowanie
Przedstawianie elementów jako części większej kolekcji nadaje pojedynczym elementom dużo większą wartość. Jesteśmy psychologicznie uwarunkowani do "łatania dziur" we wzorcach, które dostrzegamy i dlatego np. ostatnia brakująca karta z kolekcji Pokémonów jest warta dla nas subiektywnie więcej, niż 10 czy 20 dublujących się kart. Zachęcenie do zebrania całej kolekcji (ang. collecting) jest jednym z podstawowych elementów mechaniki gier.

Rankingi
Rankingi, czyli tzw. tabele wyników (ang. leaderboards), pozwalają graczom porównać swoje umiejętności z umiejętnościami innych. Ludzie są psychologicznie uwarunkowani do dostrzegania rzeczy w perspektywie, kontekście i ranking w grach zapewnia właśnie taki kontekst. W grach towarzyskich rozgrywanych "twarzą w twarz" rankingi nie są potrzebne – gracze widzą, kto z grupy wygrał, a kto przegrał. Ale w grach komputerowych, przed epoką internetu, istniały nawet fikcyjne tabele wyników, by zapewnić graczom kontekst dla ich umiejętności. Dziś gry potrafią ściągnąć online wyniki nie tylko obcych ludzi, ale także osób znajomych, zapewniając jeszcze silniejszy kontekst i motywację do ulepszania umiejętności.

Cele
Cele (ang. goals) to sposób na wyznaczenie drogi gracza przez grę. W sportowych grach drużynowych, takich jak piłka nożna, celem jest wbicie piłki do bramki drużyny przeciwnej. W szachach celem jest "pojmanie" króla przeciwnika lub uniemożliwienie mu wykonania ruchu. Określenie celów zapewnia grze strukturę, której muszą się trzymać poszczególni gracze.

Poziomy
Zdobywanie umiejętności, rozwijanie postaci w grach RPG to rodzaj celu zwany "zdobywaniem poziomów" (ang. leveling). Kolejne poziomy rozwoju wiążą się często z dodatkowymi możliwościami, dostępem do zaawansowanych funkcji itp. Zdobywanie kolejnych poziomów może być celem gry samym w sobie lub może być środkiem do osiągnięcia innych, bardziej odległych celów.

Postęp
Bardzo istotnym elementem mechaniki gier jest postęp (ang. progress) – mechanizm, który sygnalizuje graczowi, jak wiele wysiłku trzeba jeszcze włożyć w osiągnięcie kolejnego celu lub poziomu oraz jak wiele wysiłku już włożył. Postęp może być wskazówką wizualną (np. pasek postępu przy poziomie postaci), może być wyrażony liczbą (punkty doświadczenia) itp. Niepełny pasek postępu motywuje do "skompletowania" go.

Wyzwania
Wyzwania (ang. challenges) to losowe lub regularne zadania, które gracz musi wykonać, aby zdobyć nagrodę, osiągnąć cel lub przejść na następny poziom. System wyzwań połączony z systemem celów stanowi podstawę konstrukcji każdej gry i określa wymagania w stosunku do gracza.

Nagrody i punkty
Trud włożony w osiąganie celów powinien być w mechanice gier kompensowany za pomocą nagród (ang. rewards). Nagrody te mogą dotyczyć różnych sfer gry – może to być "specjalne traktowanie" (dostęp do obszarów gry niedostępnych dla innych), może być "indywidualizacja" (możliwość spersonalizowania atrybutów postaci w grze), może to być nagroda punktowa. Bardzo ważnym elementem planowania przy kolekcjonowaniu punktów jest znalezienie dla nich zastosowania (tzw. balans pomiędzy "zdobywaniem i spalaniem" – ang. earning & burning). Punkty mogą być używane do zdobycia miejsca w rankingu lub do wydawania na przedmioty lub personalizację w grze.

Implementacja grywalizacji
Prowadzone są badania nad etapami wdrażania gamifikacji, na bazie których powstają różne modele implementacji narzędzia.

Na ich podstawie można wyróżnić takie etapy jak:
 wyznaczanie celów np. poziomu aktywności użytkowników, realizacji organizacyjnych KPI;
 identyfikacja użytkowników (stworzenie charakterystyki, poznanie przyzwyczajeń, motywacji np. poprzez stworzenie Persony, Bartle test, Marczewski test;
 projekt merytoryczny i graficzny rozgrywki (dobór mechanizmów i elementów gier, stworzenie story);
 dobór rozwiązań informatycznych np. dedykowanej platformy grywalizacyjnej, istniejącej platformy edukacyjnej (Moodle) lub tworzenie nowego rozwiązania;
 testowanie i wdrażanie;
 utrzymanie.

Według badań praktyka biznesowa w Polsce różni się pod względem etapów implementacji od modeli teoretycznych. Organizacje wdrażające grywalizację dodają etap rekrutacji/marketingu, który ma wypromować rozwiązanie wśród przyszłych użytkowników.

Sukces wdrożenia grywalizacji w praktyce biznesowej jest mierzony poprzez:
 poziom osiągnięcia wyznaczonych celów;
 odsetek grupy docelowej, która zarejestrowała się na platformie grywalizacyjnej lub weszła do niej przynajmniej raz;
 odsetek grupy docelowej, która ukończyła ścieżkę grywalizacji lub była aktywna w danym czasie trwania projektu.

Polska nazwa
Istnieją trzy polskie warianty tłumaczenia słowa gamification:
 gamifikacja – wynikająca z określenia angielskiego;
 gryfikacja – autorstwa Sebastiana Starzyńskiego, twórcy serwisu gryfikacja.pl;
 grywalizacja – rozpowszechniona przez Pawła Tkaczyka, autora książki Grywalizacja. Jak zastosować mechanizmy gier w działaniach marketingowych.

Lucii Previews Wakaan Festival, Unreleased Music, and More [INTERVIEW]
We caught up with one of bass music's fastest rising stars, Lucii, after an out-of-this-world performance at Bass Canyon 2019.
Sarah Kocur
Cascading from the atmosphere and landing onto Billboard's Dance Artists to Watch list in 2019, self-described alien and total space boss Lucii (real name Emily Rose) has completely captivated the bass music scene with her heavyweight, extraterrestrial sound.
Known for her ethereal vocals, and just as enchanting production skills, this Orlando-native has brought her intergalactic sound to the forefront of EDM and shows no signs of slowing down. Playing support on Liquid Stranger's Infinity Tour at the start of 2019, Lucii went on to release her hit single, "Neptune" in March on the beloved space bass label, Wakaan, headed by Liquid Stranger himself.
Only months later, Lucii has gained a global audience and will be accompanying Dirt Monkey and Bear Grillz on their respective tours later this year. Her authentic and heart-wrenching lyrics have become a staple part of her signature sound, and her live sets highlight the best parts of her emotion-packed style.
EDM.com got the lucky opportunity to catch up with this space boss after an interstellar and intimate opening set at Excision's 2019 Bass Canyon.
EDM.com: You just got done with your set, a truly killer performance. First things first, though: What was it like seeing this venue for the first time?
Lucii: Just absolutely gorgeous. Like how insane it is that we're floating around, we're a speck in this whole universe, and something can be this beautiful. And the fact so many people can come together and be as one is just so incredible to me. Having this beautiful venue and this view is breathtaking.
Your set was amazing. We got to hear so much unreleased music, lots of live singing, and a full live performance of your latest release, the acoustic version of "Neptune." It got super raw and emotional, what was it like performing such a powerful tune in a place like this?
That song is already very emotional. I wrote that song in a very dark place, before I even made it on Wakaan, and before Liquid Stranger even knew who I was. To be able to have that be my most famous song is just so incredible because it took so much to write it. Playing it live and having people sing to it is so surreal.
Emotive lyrics have been a staple to your sound, and you blend it so harmoniously with these super heavy bass lines, how do you find that duality and balance between the two?
Honestly, it's so hard. I listen to so much SLANDER. They are such a huge inspiration, they can go from melodic bass, future bass, to heavy dubstep in one three-minute song. They have mastered that. So has Illenium. I really have studied them and I have watched tons of tutorials to make it flow and feel good, but also have that grimey bass. It was really difficult for me for a long time. "Neptune" took me at least a year and a half to get right. I went back and forth with the bass drop, but I finally got it to where I want it. It's very challenging to make it raw and emotional but still have that heavy bass. It always will be for me. 'Cause you know, you have a single drop and it's like "Let's get fucked up!" and mines like, "Why would you leave me?" So, having raw emotion and going into heavy bass will always be more challenging. But it's a challenge and I'm ready to face it."
2019 has definitely been your breakout year. You started the year playing support for Liquid Stranger's Infinity Tour. Now you're going on Dirt Monkey's World Tour, as well as Bear Grillz tour. All this on top of the new music, and unreleased stuff we got to preview earlier, how do you unwind from this chaotic schedule?
I have no idea. I look at my schedule for this year, and I think I've been home for 10 legit home days, and then I fly out the next day. It's a lot, you know. I have a girlfriend and a family, and I love to spend time with them. But at the same time, this is everything to me. To be able to go and play a show for people who might not have heard of me or those who want to see me is just everything. I will always put that as my priority.
Fans here are super excited for the Wakaan takeover to come later tonight, I think everyone can expect to have that be the set of the night. What can we expect for the Wakaan Festival coming in October, though?
Honestly, Wakaan Festival is going to be so beautiful. Probably one of the most intimate festivals anyone can go to. It's the first year, and they only sold a certain amount of tickets to make it intimate family-like festival. Because that is what Wakaan is. Wakaan isn't just a label, we're a family. We want you to feel accepted and loved and you are welcomed. That is why they wanted to make it intimate. And for my set, I'm going to make special. Cherish everything around you, because it can be gone so fast. I think, Wakaan really understands that. It's going to be amazing.
Wakaan Festival is set to take place on October 3rd through the 6th at Mulberry Mountain in Ozark, Arkansas. For more information, visit here.
Lucii has upcoming tour dates across North America to finish up 2019, including performances in Portland, Nashville, New Orleans, and Winnipeg. For all ticketing and tour information, visit here.

Some examples of startup apps are Steam gaming client, Java Update Scheduler, etc. Icons of startup apps can be oftentimes found in the system tray on the taskbar in the lower right corner of the screen.
Background apps are programs that can perform actions even if they are not opened. An example of a background app under Windows 10 is Mail. Even if the app is closed, it can sync emails with the email server, notify you about new emails via Windows' notifications, and list the emails on the Mail's live tile on the Windows Start pane.
Ability to adjust your laptop's display brightness can make looking at the screen more comfortable and less eye-straining. Also, reducing the brightness can increase the battery life of a notebook. In this post we will explain how you can change the display brightness on a Windows 10-based laptop.
In this article, we will explain the most important specs of laptop PC displays.


Experience the bustle of the Glasgow streets in this wonderful early 1950s sponsored film, reminiscent of war time propaganda, driving home the road safety message to a cinema audience. In Glasgow city centre, jammed with cars, people, buses and trams, a man leaves his work as usual, only to be tragically knocked over by a car. He is the breadwinner of the family, and his wife and two children wait patiently at home for him…what will they do now?? Just remember, it could be YOU!!
The rapid growth of car ownership in Britain in the 1950s led to a surge in road traffic accidents, prompting the launch of road safety campaigns to increase public awareness. Over 3,000 people were killed or injured every year on the streets of Glasgow at the time the film was made. In spite of the continuing increase in car ownership, the road casualty total for Glasgow fell to become the lowest on record, with 11 people killed on Glasgow's roads and 1,665 injured in 2010. This film was sponsored by the City of Glasgow Road Safety Committee, and was probably intended for a cinema audience. No doubt viewers thought twice before crossing the busy streets on leaving the theatre; the film may have even saved a life.

October 30, 1931 – The largest Y. M. C. A. in the world is officially opened at dedication ceremonies on this date in 1931. The new Lawson Y. M. C. A. on the northeast corner of Chicago Avenue and Dearborn Streets rises 24 stories and is built at a cost of $2,754,000. The new building is named after Victor F. Lawson, the late publisher of the Chicago Daily News, who left $1,500,000 to start the project. There will be 650 residential rooms with 700 telephones, and each room in the building will have a radio speaker that allow a choice of five programs. As described by the Chicago Daily Tribune, facilities include "a small chapel for private meditation and group worship; a completely equipped 'log cabin,' with an artificial woodland view out the window; a room of 1950, done in an ultra-modernistic style; the Lawson Memorial library; a boxing room with permanent ring; two large gymnasiums; volleyball and handball rooms; locker rooms with accommodations for 2,500 men; a rifle range; 10 studios for hobbies, handicraft, and music; mechanical exercise room; a swimming pool, 62 x 25 feet, with a 12 foot depth in the middle for diving; restaurants, grills and cafeterias, and fountain rooms. There is also a roof garden on the 19th floor" [Chicago Daily Tribune, October 25, 1931] In May of 2017 developer Peter Holsten, who paid one dollar for the building with the caveat that it provide affordable housing for at least 50 years, announced a $100 million plan to convert 583 units into 400 larger units with private bathrooms and kitchens. The plan also will replace exterior fire escapes with two enclosed stair towers and install a new bank of modern elevators.
October 30, 1907 – Wouldn't it have been interesting to be serving the coffee on this day as Mayor Fred Busse, First Ward aldermen Michael Kenna and John Coughlin and a committee from the Commercial Club meet in architect Daniel Burnham's office atop the Railway Exchange Building on Michigan Avenue. Two days earlier the city council had passed an ordinance directing the commissioner of public works to gather plans for connecting Beaubein Court on the south side of the river with Pine Street on the north. The meeting in Burnham's office is one more step in a process of trying to unite the north and south side boulevard systems that has been dragging on for over 15 years. After the meeting Clyde M. Carr, chairman of the Commercial Club committee, says, "We have acted and will continue to act as a clearing house for ideas on this subject. We have not given our support to any one plan, but are anxious to push the first worthy plan that the authorities may decide upon as feasible. What we are striving to keep in mind is the future – something that will give glory to Chicago for a hundred years to come. We do not want a makeshift or a compromise." [Chicago Daily Tribune, October 31, 1907] It will be another 13 years before the lawsuits are settled, the property acquired, and the great bridge leading Michigan Avenue across the river completed. Daniel Burnham is pictured above in his office atop the Railway Exchange Building.

Like many profoundly gifted healers before her, Shamarie's craft and skill has been honed in the fire of personal trauma and tragedy. Shamarie has always been different, and her early years were particularly difficult and traumatic for her. Shamarie's deep insight into the nature of subtle and overt mental, emotional, physical and sexual abuse comes not only from her early experience of family life, but also from her past lives. Shamarie's spirit truly knows what it is be shattered and broken. The final catalyst for change for Shamarie was the suicide of her children's father, leaving her with three small boys to raise on her own.
An astrologer once remarked after examining her Natal Chart, that "they were surprised that she had survived and evolved into such a vibrant compassionate healer". The fact that Shamarie did survive and thrive is a testimony to her innate spiritual strength and determination to overcome boundaries and life's challengers. Shamarie gives hope to all individuals who have suffered. Shamarie has shown that it is possible to heal and obtain emotional freedom once more. She deeply believes that if she can do it so can you!
As Shamarie rebuilt her fractured, traumatised consciousness, she gained a very deep insight into the connectedness of all things and the structures and patterns that make up consciousness and life. It has been said by many that it is indeed rare for an individual to exhibit this level of ability to self-heal. With the help of Spirit of course! It is this deep understanding that facilitated her creation of the healing and personal development system called Biosenetics™. Her extensive gifts as a healer and empath are reflected in her work as a spiritual artist, with the beautiful pastels of her client's energy fields and her inspiring soul collages and poetry.
Shamarie's passion is helping people and delights in seeing them grow and change, reaching their personal wellness goals.
When She is not working with clients Shamarie loves to be surrounded by nature, her children, her husband and their three dogs Bruer and pugs Lily and Dexter.
Therefore, my approach will always be focused on how to help heal the whole of you in a way that is easy for you to follow. Band-aid approaches be they drugs or herbs often only mask the symptom. I use the NES Wellness System and Biosenetics™ to get to the root of your issues. In this way, together we can develop a wellness plan that gives your body and spirit the very best chance to heal itself.
Each consultation builds upon the one before and are designed to give you the personal attention you deserve. Each consultation will arm you with valuable life skills and spiritual skills.
Shamarie lives what she teaches. She understands the struggles of modern life. Her teaching style effortlessly combines wisdom, humour and compassion. I applaud you for considering taking the next step, a step that will be life changing. It takes courage and commitment and determination to take the road less traveled. A road that will bring you to a place of greater health and wellbeing.
Shamarie has an exceptionally enquiring mind which enables her to see the big picture and unravel that which blocks your full wellness and spiritual potential.

Let's Gamify a 360-Degree Video of CERN's Collider: Find the Aluminum Foil!
Particle physicists fucking love aluminum foil.
BBC News/YouTube
Ben Guarino
If you've ever wanted to tour the Large Hadron Collider but haven't been able to make it to the border of Switzerland and France, you're in luck! The BBC just created a 360-degree video of the particle collider at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, aka CERN, of Higgs boson discovery fame. Eagle-eyed viewers might spot a fire extinguisher, which is great for stopping small flames but won't do much for microscopic black holes. But the best game of Where's Wally to play on this tour is spotting all the goddam aluminum foil.
Duct tape might get the lion's share of engineering love, but when it comes to experimental research stations with operating costs of a billion a year, aluminum foil is the real good stuff. It's used so heavily because physicists need to achieve what's technically called a "bake out" — essentially, protecting their fine-tuned vacuums from foreign matter.
The SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory at Stanford University describes the need for aluminium thusly:
Whenever a steel vacuum chamber is opened or develops a leak, atmospheric air can enter and create a thin film of things like water vapor or hydrocarbons. Once the leak is repaired or the chamber is closed, this residue disrupts the ability to achieve a high vacuum by gradually releasing a stream of molecules as the air is pumped out, preventing the chamber from being emptied enough to conduct research.
To make sure water vapor or other films don't accumulate, researchers heat the tubes to remove volatile molecules. Covering the whole thing in foil ensures heat distributes nicely. As it goes the LHC is one of the largest steel tube vacuum systems in the world. Check it out:

IGCC technology and demonstration
Technical Report:
View Technical Report
Future energy production will be performed by advanced technologies that are more efficient, more environmentally friendly and less expensive than current technologies. Integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power plants have been proposed as one of these systems. Utilising biofuels in future energy production will also be emphasised since this lowers substantially carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere due to the fact that biomass is a renewable form of energy. Combining advanced technology and biomass utilisation is for this reason something that should and will be encouraged. A. Ahlstrom Corporation of Finland and Sydkraft AB of Sweden have as one part of company strategies adopted this approach for the future. The companies have joined their resources in developing a biomass-based IGCC system with the gasification part based on pressurised circulating fluidized-bed technology. With this kind of technology electrical efficiency can be substantially increased compared to conventional power plants. As a first concrete step, a decision has been made to build a demonstration plant. This plant, located in Vaernamo, Sweden, has already been built and is now in commissioning and demonstration stage.

abstractNote = {Future energy production will be performed by advanced technologies that are more efficient, more environmentally friendly and less expensive than current technologies. Integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) power plants have been proposed as one of these systems. Utilising biofuels in future energy production will also be emphasised since this lowers substantially carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere due to the fact that biomass is a renewable form of energy. Combining advanced technology and biomass utilisation is for this reason something that should and will be encouraged. A. Ahlstrom Corporation of Finland and Sydkraft AB of Sweden have as one part of company strategies adopted this approach for the future. The companies have joined their resources in developing a biomass-based IGCC system with the gasification part based on pressurised circulating fluidized-bed technology. With this kind of technology electrical efficiency can be substantially increased compared to conventional power plants. As a first concrete step, a decision has been made to build a demonstration plant. This plant, located in Vaernamo, Sweden, has already been built and is now in commissioning and demonstration stage. The system comprises a fuel drying plant, a pressurised CFB gasifier with gas cooling and cleaning, a gas turbine, a waste heat recovery unit and a steam turbine. The plant is the first in the world where the integration of a pressurised gasifier with a gas turbine will be realised utilising a low calorific gas produced from biomass. The capacity of the Vaernamo plant is 6 MW of electricity and 9 MW of district heating. Technology development is in progress for design of plants of sizes from 20 to 120 MWe.

Syrian Opposition to Meet UN Envoy for Talks
Representatives from Syria's opposition National Coalition to UN's envoy Staffan de Mistura in Geneva next month.
Ben Ariel, 29/04/15 04:13
Syrian National Coalition President Khaled Khoja
Representatives from Syria's opposition National Coalition will meet the UN's Syria envoy in Geneva next month as he seeks to revive peace talks, the group's president said Tuesday, according to the AFP news agency.
Coalition president Khaled Khoja said he had informed UN envoy Staffan de Mistura that a delegation from the exiled opposition body would attend bilateral talks in Geneva in May.
"The coalition reasserted its commitment to a political solution and the resumption of negotiations where they left off," the statement quoted by AFP said.
Any new talks should proceed on the basis of "the formation of a transitional government body with full powers", it added.
De Mistura is due to hold separate talks with rival sides in Geneva from May 4 in an attempt to kick-start stalled negotiations to end Syria's war.
Last week, the United Nations said invitations to the talks had gone out to "as many stakeholders as possible", including different Syrian factions and regional and international players.
The talks will not be negotiations between the different sides, but discussions between de Mistura and each delegation intended to take "stock of where we are now", a UN spokesman said last week.
Syria's government has not officially confirmed its attendance, but a Syrian official who spoke on condition of anonymity said the regime would be represented by its envoy to the UN in Geneva, Hussam Eddin Ala.
Syria's main domestic opposition group has also yet to confirm if it will attend, but another opposition grouping of both domestic and exiled dissidents will be represented.
Successive attempts at launching peace talks to resolve Syria's conflict have so far proved fruitless, despite the 2012 Geneva communiqué that called for a political transition in the country.
A key sticking point has remained the future of President Bashar Al-Assad, with the National Coalition insisting he must step down, a demand his government has refused to countenance.
De Mistura is the third UN envoy to tackle Syria's conflict, which began in March 2011 with peaceful anti-government protests and descended into a war after a harsh regime crackdown.
He has already angered rebel groups by saying Assad was as "part of the solution" to the conflict in Syria.
In response to those comments, rebels in Aleppo rejected de Mistura's proposal for a temporary ceasefire in the city.

Although ancient Egyptians were the first to describe the brain, the services that are provided to patients with disorders of the brain and the number of trained neurologists in Arab and African countries is at best centralized in large cities and at worst nonexistent.
The combined Arab and African population is 1.5 billion, around 23 percent of the world population. With current improvements in vaccination programs and water sanitation, the mean age of the population is increasing, and it is estimated that by 2030, the burden of noncommunicable disorders will be higher than communicable disorders in Africa.
From left to right: Dr. Jean Jabbour, a WHO representative and one of the guests of honor, greets Laila Negm, honorary meeting chairman. Gathered in back, from left to right: Professor Mahmoud Elmetieni, dean of the faculty of medicine, Ain Shams University; Professor Bahaa Zidan, head of Elgalaa Military Medical Compound and a guest of honor; and Professor Magd Zakaria, meeting chairman and head of the neurology department, Ain Shams University.
The number of trained neurologists is steadily growing. Specialized neurology services for stroke, epilepsy, headache, neurorehabilitation, and neuromuscular disorders, among others, are starting and successfully growing. These services can be found in Cairo and to a lesser extent in Alexandria and Assiut. Apart from this, the mere presence of a trained neurologist is an exception. It is a common scenario to find a community of 1 million to 3 million inhabitants who are served by one to two neurology consultants, who may be living in another place and shuttling back and forth. The brain drain happens from these areas to Cairo, in addition to other countries.
Neurology education in many sub-Saharan African countries is almost nonexistent. Around 90 percent of African universities do not have master degrees or other forms of formal training modules in neurology. Most of the trained neurologists get their training abroad. Many leave their countries because there are no posts for neurologists in the university or the ministry of health. The number of trained neurologists in many countries can be counted on two hands. For instance, only 11 countries in Africa have more than 10 neurologists per country, five countries in Africa have only five to 10 neurologists per country, and 23 countries in Africa have one to four neurologists per country.
In countries with good neurology training programs, well-established neurology services can only be found in central cities, and patients have to travel for hundreds of miles to find a good neurology service.
For the aforementioned reasons, Ain Shams University has been endorsing an initiative called Treat and Teach, which is designed to develop short- and intermediate-term strategies to reduce the gap in the number of trained neurologists and the deficiency of neurology education programs in Africa. We are trying to complement the current efforts to improve neurology education in Africa with an initiative that has a mix of online education and on-site clinical training, while working on establishing medical services that may include a stroke unit, memory clinic, neurorehabilitation units, or a neurology department. Master degrees will be given from Ain Shams University, Cairo, and work will be done to establish local master degrees in rural centers. This could lead to national neuroscience services run by local providers.
To promote this initiative, Ain Shams University organized the First Arab African Teleneurology Conference: A Treat and Teach Initiative. Held in the League of Arab States January 19–20, 2016, the conference was designed for medical and non-medical stakeholders. Representatives of Ain Shams University, the League of Arab States, Egyptian ministries of health, foreign affairs and communications, Egyptian military hospitals, the American Telemedicine Association and WHO joined the discussions, in addition to 247 attendees representing 12 countries and 13 universities.
The high prevalence of neurologic disorders, their impact on the community in terms of mortality and morbidity, and the importance of time-to-start management and clinical expertise to manage these sophisticated cases.
The clear deficiency in trained neurologists in rural parts of Arab countries and in most African countries.
The increasing numbers of trained neurologists and specialized neurology services in large cities, such as Cairo, the challenge to use these experiences in rural areas and avoid the brain drain problem, and the importance of establishing stronger inter-African communications to bridge geographical barriers.
Presentations from international experts in the field illustrating experiences from the Mayo Clinic, Harvard, California and the U.K.; experiences from Egypt and Sudan were also presented.
The great potential and readiness for change in many sub-Saharan countries. Africa is a young continent, with an average age of 17 to 20 years old. Africa will have the largest workforce in the world in the next 25 years, and seven out of 10 of the fastest growing economies in the world are sub-Saharan African countries. Government spending on health care worldwide is the highest in Africa (18.4 percent). The number of Internet users in Africa multiplied 70 times from 2000 to 2010.
As a proof of concept, four speakers invited from the U.S. used telecommunication technologies to give live interactive sessions showing scientific information and giving second opinions about selected cases.
Meeting roundtable participants include, from left to right: Tamer Emara, the meeting's scientific coordinator, associate professor of neurology and the head of the teleneurology unit, Ain Shams University, Cairo; Professor Hani Aref, neurology department, Ain Shams University; Professor Magd Zakaria, meeting chairman and head of the neurology department, Ain Shams University; and Moderator Amr Abd Elmoneim, assistant professor of neurology, Ain Shams University.
Ain Shams University has agreed to start the first teleneurology unit in Egypt. Ain Shams has signed several agreements with Egyptian hospitals and African universities to start a proof of concept phase of hospital-to-hospital acute care teleneurology service that would be complemented with bilateral mobility to facilitate service development in remote areas. Similar agreements with international centers of excellence are also underway.
Additionally, Ain Shams University, WHO, Egyptian ministries of health and foreign affairs, military forces, and the Arab League are currently collaborating to establish an Arab African center of excellence for neurology, neurosurgery and teleneurology, which would serve as a regional center of excellence to support best medical practices and education. The management of this center should provide a self-sustained investment model that would facilitate public-private partnerships. Ain Shams University is currently preparing an initial proposal for this project. A copy of this project will be delivered to the Egyptian government and another copy to the meeting of Arab Ministers of Health meeting.
It is of utmost importance to nurture local neurology leaders by giving them the right mix of scientific and management skills, in addition to logistically supporting their starting neurology programs.
Although we think highly of new telecommunication technologies as a way to bypass geographical barriers, we are aware of its limitations. Neurology, as all other medical specialties, requires direct face-to-face interactions with mentors and patients alike, thus the essential role of bilateral mobility in the Treat and Teach Initiative.
Sustainability is always a key issue in developing services. It is estimated that 90 percent of telemedicine projects stop after a few years. The role of education, in addition to telemedicine practice, is essential to ensure the sustainability of this project. Thinking of the spoke as a "hub in evolution" is mandatory in our view to promote the growth and progress of the best medical care to this large population of the world. The other important guarantee for sustainability is the integration of telemedicine practice in everyday work.
Work should be done to establish centers of excellence that are strategically located and connected to peripheral hubs in a model that allows growth, dissemination of knowledge and sustainability. This lies within a health care system that offers support to everyone in the community. The self-sustained investment model and the idea of promoting local neurology champs would ideally offer physicians working in remote areas more self-actualization values, in addition to a decent financial revenue that can help reverse the brain leak of trained clinicians.
The research programs of these centers should be targeted toward the actual needs of this part of the world, developing the concepts and finding new solutions for better health care delivery. The real change would be to gain the ability to produce knowledge.

Want to see your property on the big screen? Now is your chance!
Have you always wanted to learn more about the film industry, even getting the chance to see how a film is made? Now is your chance! With Screen Nova Scotia's Starring Your Property program, you can include your home or business as a potential filming location in anything from films, television series, music videos, and commercials.
We're looking for a wide array of residential and commercial properties that might attract a producer's attention – from warehouses to condos, newly built homes to rustic farm houses – all properties are valuable in attracting productions to the province. When you list through our program, we will include your property in our database of fantastic filming locations available throughout Nova Scotia. Depending on the production, your location may be selected for filming, but the first step is submitting your information with the guidelines below – and it's free and easy to do!
Film production in Nova Scotia communities creates and generates revenues for the local economy, and filming locations – such as your home or business – are just the start of the services required by a film production (others include everything from dry cleaning, catering, building supplies, accommodations and more). For example, over five seasons the TV series Haven contributed more than $50 million directly to the Nova Scotia economy, and established the South Shore as a premier filming (and tourism) destination.
The following guidelines will help some of the questions you may have about filming if you decide to submit!
Feature Films – Often shot with larger crews of approximately 70-130. The average filming schedule is two months.
Movies of the Week (MOWs) – MOWs are generally the same as features except budgets are often smaller. Cast and crew sizes are approximately 50-75.
Television Series – Episodes usually run anywhere from 30-60 minutes. Cast and crew sizes are often smaller than feature films. Average filming is four days per episode.
Commercials / Music Videos – This kind of filming is often quick, potentially filming one week and airing the next. Smaller cast and crew sizes.
Producer sends Screen Nova Scotia a script or project details.
Screen Nova Scotia team members do a breakdown of locations – outlining specific types of locations needed in the script.
The locations library is explored to determine what properties best represent the needs of the producer and director – fitting the overall character of the project – at which time suitable locations are selected. If these locations are not available in the library, local locations scouts are hired to find them.
Location images are forwarded to the producer and director for consideration, at which time they may decide to visit Nova Scotia, and check out your property for potential filming.
Registering Your Property: To register your property with Screen Nova Scotia, simply click the button on the bottom of this page! When taking photos, be sure to include and consider the unique qualities of your location that will make it stand out. Try to capture your location details as thoroughly as possible. Hint: duplicate the experience of someone arriving at your house for the first time.
What if Producers are Interested? If a production company is interested in your property for a shooting location, the person in charge of locating, selecting and finalizing locations (Location Scouts and Locations Managers) will contact you to arrange a site visit of your property. If at any point you have any doubts, do not hesitate to reach out to Screen Nova Scotia to confirm validity of the project.
For location agreement guidelines and information on fees, please click HERE.
If you have any questions about this program or locations, please contact Melanie Solomon, Industry Services & Locations Manager: melanie@screennovascotia.com / (902) 229-1499.
