Waymo's driverless cars have driven way mo' miles than rivals'
Home > Uncategorized > Waymo's driverless cars have driven way mo' miles than rivals'
Waymo's self-driving cars have driven 10 million miles on public roads, the company announced on Wednesday. That puts the company way, way ahead of any of its rivals. Only one other company has announced more than a million miles of testing. And that was Uber, which announced 2 million miles last year but was forced to freeze its public testing after a deadly crash in March.
The milestone is one of many signs that Waymo has a sizable lead in the race to commercialize driverless car technology. Waymo says it is planning to launch a taxi service in the Phoenix area before the end of the year. One of Waymo's leading rivals, GM's Cruise, is aiming to launch a commercial taxi service next year. Most other companies working on driverless car technology aren't planning commercial launches until the early 2020s.

Are Iran protests a US conspiracy?
Tehran has announced that at least eight individuals with ties to the CIA were arrested in Iran during the protests over a recent fuel hike. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei defended the price increases and described the unrest as orchestrated by "global arrogance," pointing his finger at the US. RT America's Sayeh Tavangar has the latest. Then former US diplomat Jim Jatras and former Pentagon official Michael Maloof discuss. The US is pushing back against the alleged Russian presence in Libya, according to State Dept. official David Schenker, who claims that Russian regulars are being deployed to Libya. RT America's Nebojsa Malic joins In Question to share his insights. Rare earth minerals are used in everything we do in the Digital Age, including 5G tech, phones, chips, laptops, games. China is the world's biggest supplier, and has announced plans to get even bigger. RT America's Faran Fronczak explains.

Woman Disfigured By Boyfriend In Fit Of Jealousy Uses Her Story To Inspire
By Mel Johnson on October 12, 2015

Jealous Boyfriend Throws Acid
When Christy Sims met Andrew, she fell in love with his charm and charisma. Overtime, as he gradually became abusive, she brushed off his aggressive outbursts. She even tried to leave a few times, but his charm always wooed her back. But finally, Christy came to an important decision — enough was enough. And that's when her jealous boyfriend lashed out with acid.
Christy's story is told below, but does contain some graphic images and details.
***WARNING: Some images are graphic***

When Christy attempted to leave Andrew once and for all, what he did will haunt her for the rest of her life. She says,
"I walked to the bathroom and I stopped in my tracks because he was standing there holding a bowl. I didn't know what was in that bowl and the next thing I know he's right in front of me he's dousing it on my face."
Andrew had filled the bowl with industrial grade sulfuric acid. If she was going to leave him, he was determined to disfigure her. And as the poor girl lay there in agony, he called 911, reporting the incident as an accident. He was offered instructions on how to help save Christy — all of which he blatantly ignored.
The attack left Christy in a coma for two weeks. Before she could tell her side of the story, everyone believed Andrew's assertion that her burns were from an accident. But when she woke up, she set the record straight and Andrew has since been sent to prison for 20 years.
But meanwhile, Christy was left to deal with the damage Andrew had caused. She had burns that covered 20% of her body. She had to wear a compression mask and undergo 13 different surgeries. She could have given up. But instead, she drew strength from the Lord above to keep going. She says in a recent Facebook post,
"I just kept waking up…for a long time in the very beginning…that is all that God required of me and that is all that I had the energy to do. I just kept waking up, even when I didn't want to. It would have been easier to drift off into that long and sweet 'good night.' But, I kept waking up…and God kept showing up. Just keep waking up…."

Instead of being defeated by this tragedy, Christy decided to use her experience to inspire and help other domestic violence victims. She is now a mental health counselor and founder of the Christy Sims Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to educating and raising awareness on the topic of domestic violence.
And when recently being interviewed by T.D. Jakes, Christy shared her personal mantra that helps keep her going. She said,
"I have fear, but fear does not have me. I have anger, but anger does not have me. I have these scars, but these scars do not have me. I am free. I am the master of me."
What an incredible triumph over evil! Praise God for helping Christy turn such tragedy into a source of inspiration for others. Through Him, all things are truly possible.

Quarantining and Board Games
March 31, 2020 unboxboardom
Games come in all sorts of shapes, sizes, colors, languages and themes, but one constant variable stretches across them all: Players must be in the same room as one another while playing. Our current world circumstances, plagued with the possibility of COVID-19 infection, renders this one prerequisite for gaming nearly impossible to fulfill—not to mention the inability to wipe down every single piece between rounds. Rather than feel discouraged, take comfort in the fact that modern gaming can stretch across households if you get a little inventive. Here are a few ways to try:
Bust out your Photoshop skills
Current video chat technology allows for the sharing of computer screens, and this feature opens the possibility that multiple friends can view your makeshift Trivial Pursuit board, crafted in Adobe Photoshop, no matter where they're located. The creation of a game board doesn't require an extensive knowledge of design software. Simply snap a photo of a board—or better yet scan, if you have access—and create a few little colored circles to serve as pieces, each of which can be moved around the board using your cursor. The host can move for others and players can roll their own dice from the comfort of their own homes; likely everyone has one or two lying around. As long as one of the players has the game itself, they can hold up cards to the camera for others to read. This whole process gives off the impression of a homespun game night without leaving the house, and leaves little room for players to only half pay attention.
Head online
While there's no true substitute for playing a board game on an actual board, some websites are doing their part to spread gaming across the internet by making their own virtual versions of games. Board Game Arena, for example, offers players the chance at a round of Puerto Rico or Carcassone without the added hassle of remembering all the rules or tracking each of the cards. Their graphic interface isn't the most intuitive of its kind but the rules are embedded in the software, meaning no player can make an illegal move or otherwise cheat in any way. Playing on sites like this is a unifying experience: All the pertinent statistics of the other players, like how many victory points they've accrued thus far, are always displayed. Some games even include timers and alerts to notify players when it's their turn, simulating your nagging and bothering from across the world wide web.
Now feels like a great time to make progress on whatever pet project you've been dreaming about, and game creation promises to fill the gaming void lost by quarantine. Friends may not be available to arrive at your house ready to game, but they can certainly provide feedback on written rules for a game of your own making or talk you through the visual design of the characters. Working on a game also affords you an excuse to reach out to people and work independently in the interim, much like a group of writers would motivate each other to complete their tasks via accountability. Plus, while it's nearly impossible to plow through every game in your library when gathering a group of friends in real life—schedules can be a nightmare—it's very manageable to play each one on your own, pull some of your favorite concepts and repurpose them into something you can share when this is all over and social distancing walls come down. Also: Use this time to make some inroads with local board game design groups so they'll be pumped to try your game at a later date.

Il seguente è un elenco dei marchesi di Saluzzo, ovvero dei governanti della città piemontese e del suo territorio, dai tempi di Manfredo I fino all'estinzione della famiglia e all'annessione al regno di Francia, nel 1549; con il trattato di Lione del 1601 il marchesato di Saluzzo verrà poi incorporato nel ducato di Savoia.
Molti ritratti si trovano negli affreschi della Sala baronale del castello della Manta, raffiguranti i nove Prodi e nove eroine che, presumibilmente, impersonano i marchesi di Saluzzo con le rispettive consorti.

Re Umberto I d'Italia riconobbe il titolo di Marchese di Saluzzo al ramo dei Saluzzo di Castellar che sarebbero stati gli eredi dell'antica Casata e che ebbero un politico relativamente conosciuto a fine Ottocento con Marco di Saluzzo di Paesana.

Age UK Oldham Promoting Independent People (PIP) project works with older people to promote independence. The project commissioned by Pennine Care has been in operation since 2015 working with people identified by GPs, and other health professionals, who can benefit from some additional support to live independently.
We have begun to support the project in it second year using our Risk Tracker system. The PIP project uses Risk Tracker to record a whole range of different issues that affect older people using our Ageing Better Risk Map. The map has been designed around the part of the life course the particularly deals with older age. This means that we record details about issues such as frailty, housing and financial resources.
This type of project exactly fits our model of assessing the full range of issue that affect an individual's life and then measuring the social value that is added by dealing with the whole person. This supports agencies to work together better rather than defining clients only by the issues that are relevant to their service.
If you would like to know more about the work we are doing with older people then please email info@insideoutcomes.co.uk or use our contact form to get in touch.

Lady Gaga's MET Gala: Behind The Scenes
Vogue Magazine offers us a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes of the intricate process that culminated in Lady Gaga's epic, nearly 20 minute entrance at the Met Gala 2019 in a video recently posted on YouTube.
In the video, we get a look into the creative process that went into the designing and the making of Lady Gaga's multilayered outfit as well as the rehearsal of the precisely calculated choreography that turned Lady Gaga's Met appearance into a live-action performance piece. We see the original sketches of the outfits designed by none other than Brandon Maxwell, who describes the entire process as simple and effortless due to the comfort of the decade-long friendship that he shares with Lady Gaga.
In case you missed the event you can read the full recap here:
Lady Gaga also gives details into the various elements featured in her grand parade-like entrance that speak to the humorous and ironic nature of Camp. "It's not raining. So why there are umbrellas? Why? The length of the dress, so dramatic. Why? The length of the eyelashes. Extravagant. Why?" Lady Gaga elaborates.
Maxwell's 25-feet neon pink overcoat inspired the child-like attitude seen throughout the entrance, Lady Gaga says as she informs her dancers to channel their inner child and be themselves. "What I love about what we are doing is that it reads like an essay, or a poem. So in line with Susan Sontag's notes [on Camp]."
Watch the full behind-the-scenes of Lady Gaga's iconic Met Gala Looks:


Written by Helen Hackwell on Thursday, 10 April 2014.
The colourful top is from Mothercare's Blooming Marvellous range, I instantly fell in love when I saw it, the colours are so wonderfully bright and vivid and it makes such a change from the more muted tones I've been wearing for the past few weeks.
My jacket is from Warehouse and… take note… it isn't part of a maternity range! As it's designed to be worn open I can get away with wearing it now despite the fact my bump is bigger than ever.
I'm still getting plenty of wear out of my maternity jeans from New Look, so much so that I think I'm going to have to invest in a cropped pair as soon as the weather starts to warm up. They're superbly comfy and allow me to keep up a gentle homage to my pre-pregnancy style.
My 'Choos' were acquired last year and are the perfect antidote to any pregnancy-related ankle swelling, I skip past all of that when looking at my feet and focus only on the simple beauty of those pumps.
The handbag is from Mulberry, it originally accompanied me on my trip to America about three years ago and has been used frequently ever since. The leather has proved to be remarkably resilient (especially given the fact that it's had a bottle of red wine split on it...), so hopefully I can continue to get plenty of use out of it once baby arrives!
Finally, to accessorise, I wore a necklace that I purchased a couple of years ago in River Island and my YSL Arty ring that was a gift from my lovely friend Lucy for my 30th birthday last year.

The East Bay has a remarkable network of hiking trails, and Concord offers easy access from within the city limits, as well as several great dog hikes just a short hop away.
Lime Ridge Open Space, accessed from Treat Blvd. in Concord between San Miguel and Cowell Road, includes several trails linked to the regional trail network. Over 1200 acres of pristine open space and 25 miles of trails are held jointly by the cities of Concord and Walnut Creek. Although leash rules vary depending on what section you are in, rangers recommend dogs remain on-leash at all times.
Shell Ridge Open Space, in nearby Walnut Creek is a real treasure, with several convenient trail heads. Well-behaved dogs are welcome, and there are some great off-leash areas for dogs under voice control. We recommend keeping a leash handy, as there's lots of wildlife in the area. Make sure to bring water, as it does get hot in summer.
Mount Diablo dominates the landscape, and Mount Diablo State Park (with a visitor center in nearby Clayton) is huge, with many undiscovered trails, great camping areas and wonderful recreation areas. Dogs are allowed only in developed areas of the park. They must be kept on a leash during the day and in an enclosed vehicle or tent at night. Dogs are NOT permitted on trails or fire roads.
Nearby Briones Regional Park, part of East Bay regional Parks, has lots of opportunities for off-leash fun, with a few restrictions: Dogs are required to be on leash at all times in the following areas: Tavan Trail (all), Diablo View Trail between Alhambra Creek Trail and Hidden Pond Trail, Alhambra Creek Trail from the Alhambra Creek Staging Area south to the water trough, and Orchard Trail between Alhambra Creek Trail and west to the Briones Road gate. These leash-required areas are indicated by signage within the park.

If you've read my book reviews, you'll know I'm a fan of Mary Connealy. In a recent interview, I was asked who my favorite authors were. No brainer: Mary Connealy was one of them. I've read nearly everything she's published.
The Accidental Guardian is her most recent, the first in the High Sierra Sweethearts series. In this story, Trace Riley has been on his own since he was a boy, the lone survivor of a wagon train massacre…but not by Indians. He's become an unofficial "guardian" of the trails, keeping watch over the trains. But he doesn't always get there in time. He comes upon another massacre that "looks" like the work of Indians, but he sees it's the same bunch that attacked the train he was on when he was a boy.
Deborah Harkness is traveling with her sister out to California when her wagon train is viciously attacked. By "chance," she, her sister Gwen, and two small children survive the attack because they were a short distance away when the attack occurred.
It's a good story. I'm not sure it's one of her absolute best. I wasn't moved by the story as much as I have been by others. I see small similarities between this story and others she's written. Trace is a bit "wild" because he's been alone so much. That reminded me of Seth Kincade. Deborah is a strong woman—like most of Mary's women are. She didn't remind me of any one particular character, but she is likeable.
There is a grizzly bear, a kidnapping, and romance (a touch) as the two main characters find their way to each other.
This story is the first part of a three-part serial. I would define a "series" like a television series. Stand alone stories with the same characters. Whereas serials are like soap operas, the next one picks up where the other left off. Hence the serial. Because, you're left hanging. Two characters are introduced at the end of the book that will affect the children we met at the beginning of the book.
Where it will go from here, only Mary knows. I received this book from the publisher in expectation of a review. I give this story four stars. It's good, but it didn't blow me away like others have.

Floyd Carter Sr., a Tuskegee Airman who was awarded a Congressional Gold Medal, has died at the age of 95, according to the New York Police Department.
The native of Yorktown, Va., rose to the rank of Air Force lieutenant colonel years after joining the group of African-American pilots at Tuskegee, according to the Daily News. It was there that he met his wife Artherine, who was working as part of an all-female repair crew. Carter wooed her on several dates in his plane, and they were married at the air base in 1945.
In 2012, Carter joined "Star Wars" filmmaker George Lucas for a screening of his film "Red Tails" about the Tuskegee Airmen — the first black aviators in the U.S. military, trained in Alabama as a segregated unit.
Carter died March 8. Survivors include his wife; their children, Floyd Jr. and Rozalind; grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Burke Museum curator is a bridge to an ancient world
By Kelly Huffman | Photo courtesy Sven Haakanson
Growing up in an Alutiiq community on Alaska's Kodiak Island, Dr. Sven Haakanson was always curious to learn the ways of his southern coastal people. But Native language, culture and history were absent from the public school curriculum, and not readily passed down the generations.
Then in 1988, while pursuing undergraduate studies in English, he received an unlikely invitation: a trip to the Inuit Studies Conference in Copenhagen. It was this conference—and an Alaskan anthropologist he met there—that ignited his passion for preserving indigenous culture.
"Sometimes you have to go away to really come home," says Haakanson, the new Curator of Native American Anthropology at the Burke Museum of Natural History. He made his way to Harvard for a Ph.D in anthropology, eventually returning to Kodiak to head the Alutiiq Museum. His advocacy of Native culture brought him a MacArthur Foundation "genius" grant in 2007.
Along the way, he sojourned for years with the reindeer-herding Nenet people of Siberia. "I felt really lucky," says Haakanson, whose new position at the University of Washington affords him time to return to Russia to continue his research. "The Nenet are one of few examples of indigenous people still living in a traditional setting."
With know-how that runs the gamut from woodcarving to hunting to digital photography, Haakanson is a bridge between the ancient world and the contemporary one. And he's eager to make the connection for a Burke Museum audience. As he did at the Alutiiq Museum, he'll invite other indigenous people to help breathe life into the tools, masks and other artifacts. "Although they've been removed from a living context, these things are not really dead," he insists.
In his jumbled office behind the exhibit walls, he presses the point: scrolling to a photo of a hatchet-toting Nenet toddler one moment; reaching for a book of Alutiiq masks the next; retrieving a student's wood carving to illustrate a lesson in critical thinking. On an excursion into the museum's storage shelves, he spies a miniature wigwam and pauses to snap it. Then he beelines for the original object of his quest: a traditional Alutiiq halibut hook.
The hook—clever and deadly—is just one example of the thousands of years of technology housed in the Burke collection. For Haakanson, it all goes to show "how amazing we are as humans, how ingenious!"

BMC Research Notes
Assessing time to treatment and patient inflow in a Danish emergency department: a cohort study using data from electronic emergency screen boards
Rasmus F Nielsen1,3,

Karin Biering2
BMC Research Notes volume 7, Article number: 690 (2014) Cite this article
The purpose of this study was to assess and describe the patient inflow during a 1-month period in a Danish emergency department and to evaluate if the intended times to treatment (TTT) related to category of triage were met.
Data from electronic emergency screen boards were extracted from the 1st to the 30th of April 2013. 2000 patients were enrolled of which 1011 were eligible for inclusion in the study of TTT. Patient inflow was described according to hours of the day and days of the week. Patients were divided into groups of triage and TTT was assessed in the different groups. Adjusted odds ratios of not being seen on time were calculated between triage groups and time of the day/week.
The pattern of inflow differed between weekdays and weekends. On weekdays it peaked around midday and on weekends it peaked during the late afternoon/evening. The distributions of the different triage categories between days were similar. Monday had the most patient contacts while Saturday showed the least. Category II (orange) patients were the most prone to exceed the intended TTT. The risk of not being seen on time when compared to daytime, was on evenings OR 2.3 [1.1;4.9] and on nights OR 2.0 [1.2;3.9]. On weekends the odds ratio was OR 1.9 [0.8;4.7] compared to weekdays.
The results demonstrated varying patterns of patient inflow between weekdays and weekends. There was a significantly increased risk of being attended late when arriving on evenings and nights. Likewise higher acuity was associated with exceeded TTT.
Over the last decade there has been an increasing demand for high-quality standards in emergency care. Highly efficient emergency departments (ED) with timely patient assessment and treatment are expected. Alongside follow increasing needs for documentation. In 2007 the Danish Board of Health initiated a reorganization of the Danish EDs [1] which prompted the establishment of centralized joined EDs receiving patients of all medical branches. A survey from Harvard Medical Faculty Physicians [2] performed in Central Denmark Region in 2008 stated that quality assessment and overall monitoring in the acute sector was required. The implementation of triage systems was recommended as a means to facilitate better organization and patient flow in order to prevent prolonged waiting times and increase patient safety. Furthermore the use of electronic overview screen boards was suggested, which has later proven to be time saving as well as productive in terms of work efficacy [3]. Triage systems with overview screen boards in different versions have been successfully implemented in all Danish EDs at present day [4, 5]. Internationally a wide range of triage systems in EDs is used with varying results. In Herning the triage system RETTS-HEV [6] is used. It is based on the Swedish triage system METTS [7] (changed its name to RETTS 2011) that uses both vital signs and symptoms to triage the patients. Only few adjustments have been made to implement Danish health care standards. Recent studies have proven RETTS-HEV to be a reliable [8] as well as a valid tool of triage [9]. Patients are graded into 5 different categories with corresponding colors. Depending on the level of triage the patients are to be seen by a physician within an according time frame. Category I patients (red) are to be seen immediately, category II (orange) within 15 min, category III (yellow) within 60 min, category IV (green) within 120 min and finally category V fast-track (blue) within 240 min.
Since the introduction of triage in Danish EDs there have been only few reports on the effects of having structured triage systems in Denmark [10, 11] and to our knowledge no actual studies have been published. One reason for this is that precise ED data has been difficult to register and extract from existing patient databases, especially when handling time keeping data [12].
Studies show, that prolonged waiting time increases the risk of adverse events [13]. In order to keep the waiting time down to a minimum and to maintain a steady flow of patients at busy times, the amount of available allocated resources and available physicians during the day needs to match the amount of patients at the given time [14, 15]. When patients accumulate in the ED, either of the above mentioned is a potential limiting factor.
The objectives of this study were:
To monitor and visualize the patient inflow during hours of the day and the days of the week.
To determine if the patients were seen by a physician within the time corresponding to their category of triage, and examine any relations to time of day or week as well as triage.
The setting of the study was a medium sized ED in a regional hospital in Herning, Denmark. The hospital provides healthcare to around 300.000 people and has an annual ED census of approximately 29.000 patients. The ED is composed of an emergency admission and an emergency observation ward. The observation ward attends patients that require admission for an expected period of less than 24 hours. If longer medical care is needed, patients are transferred to specialized wards related to their illness. Patients are referred to ED from general physicians, arrive by ambulance (incl. trauma) or show up without referral (walk-in patients). The ED receives all patients, except children with urgent non-surgical nor trauma conditions, who are seen in the pediatric department, as well as patients with heart-related events, who are directed straight to the department of cardiology.
At all times there are at least one attending emergency medicine specialist and two younger residents present in the ED to initiate treatment, backed by physicians from other wards if needed.
The ED physician coverage is as following (number of physicians in brackets):
Attending: Weekdays: 8–16 (1), 8–18 (1), 13–21 (1) and 18–09 (1). Weekends 8–18 (1) and 18–9 (1).
Residents: Weekdays: 8–17 (4), 10–22 (1), 17–09 (2). Weekends: 8–18 (2), 10–22 (1) and 17–09 (2).
All category I patients are seen by an attending physician initially. Other categories are primarily seen by residents, but all patients are conferred with an attending on site before admission or discharge from the ED.
Upon patient arrival to the ED a nurse performs an initial screening also known as "Outer triage" [6] using few standardized questions, which serves to direct the patient to either fast-track (blue triage V) treatment or to undergo full triage. The full triage should then be performed within 15 min. Based on guidelines some of the fast-track patients with minor injuries can be attended by a trained nurse whom afterwards may discharge the patient without a physician present.
The Cetrea Emergency System [16] (CES) screen board is an organizational tool for keeping track on the patients in the ED. Information is displayed by patient name, identification number, color of triage, symptoms, time registration, picture and name of responsible nurse, name of responsible physician, treatment status, expected medical specialty and physical location.
When the patient is reported in, the coordinating nurse will obtain the personal data and enter it on the CES board, where the patient will show on the screen column "Arriving". Upon arrival the secretary moves the patient from the "arriving" column to the "arrived" column, and the outer triage is performed. If the patient is to be included in the fast track (V), the patient will be marked blue on the CES board screen. If not, the patient awaits full triage within 15 min at which time the patient is translocated to an emergency room. Before the physician initiates treatment of the patient, he or she will sign in on the screen, as well as signing out when done. In this way everybody can see the whereabouts of the patient, who is in charge of treatment, how long time the patient has been in the ED and henceforth. The times are registered and stored. In the following the time to treatment (TTT) is defined as the time from the determination of triage category to the time the physician initiates treatment – marked by the time the physician applies himself to the patient on the emergency screen board.
Data collection and processing
We extracted data from CES on all ED contacts in Herning Regional Hospital from April 2013, as this was a month with no change in physician personnel, a minimum of holidays (2 days) and no seasonal peak of infections.We included all patients apart from those treated by nurse and gynecological patients, as these are seen by a specialist directly. This left 2000 patients to be included (Figure 1).
Enrollment chart.
There were 1398 contacts that presented with both a triage category and a time of triage of which 150 contacts showed no data on time seen by physician. However, 28 of these were category I trauma patients in which cases the physician begins treatment immediately without signing in on CES. Therefore these were included after resetting the time to treatment to 0 minutes. Some contacts showed unrealistic high values in TTT, which occurs when a physician initiates treatment without signing in. That way the first time of treatment registered will be when the next physician seeing the patient signs in. We limited the possible realistic waiting time to <720 minutes (12 hours) and excluded those over - leaving 1011 contacts for analysis of the TTT.
In certain situations negative values were seen in the time to triage (from time of arrival to time of triage). This happens when the patients are triaged pre-arrival, for example when brought in by ambulance. In our study we therefore modified these values to zero. Likewise all negative values in the estimated column TTT were reset to zero, as the physician in these cases had started treating the patient before triage is performed.
Patient inflow was presented graphically with bar charts. Due to right skewed TTT, these were described with 25% percentiles, median, 75% percentiles and range – in accordance with Gordon BD et al. [12] showing that ED time data is to be described using percentiles, due to registration imprecision as well as to the fact of ED time data being right skewed.
Comparisons between subgroups were accessed with χ2-test or two sample t-test, if applicable. Associations with time of day and week and triage category was analyzed with logistic regression and presented with odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals. All analysis was performed in Stata 9.2.
Information on physicians at work was collected from the work schedule of April 2013.
Our study involved data retrieved with the purpose of quality assurance without any form of personal identification. It was therefore exempt from review by the regional ethics committees in Denmark.
Patient inflow
The distribution of patients divided in category of triage is shown in Table 1.Figure 2 shows the average inflow during the week. An average of 66.7 (SD 11.4) patients was seen per day. Monday was the day with the highest mean inflow showing 75.5 (SD 5.9) arrivals. Saturdays and holidays had the lowest mean inflow of respectively 55.25 (SD 7.7) and 47.5 (SD 6.4) per day. On average the number of patients arriving per hour was 2.8 (SD 1.6). On weekdays it was 3.0 (SD 2.1) and on weekends and holidays 2.3 (SD 1.0), although varying largely during the day.
Table 1 Distribution of triage
Average inflow during the week.
The distribution of triage categories was similar (p = 0.219) when comparing the acuity of the patients during weekdays and weekends.
30.1% [28.1%;32.1%] of the patients were missing a triage category. Divided into shifts we found that 42.1% [35.7%;48.4%] of patients during the night lacked documentation of triage, 27.4% [24.7%;30.2%] of patients during the day and 30.0% [26.7%;33.2%] during the evening.Figure 3 displays the average number of patients on weekdays during April 2013 divided in hours of the day and triage categories. The peak hour of inflow was seen on weekdays from 12–13 with 7.9 patients per hour. The lowest inflow was on weekdays from 05–06 showing 0.4 patients per day.Same setup was used in Figure 4 showing data on weekends and holidays. On weekends and holidays the peak inflow was between the hours of 15–16 as well as from 20–21 with an average of 3.6 patients per hour, and the lowest inflow was seen from 06–07 with 0.35 patients.
Average inflow per hour on weekdays.
Average inflow per hour on weekends/holidays.
In total 233 patients were seen from 00–08 (night), 1017 from 08–16 (day) and 750 from 16–24 (evening). This equals 0.97 patients per hour in the night, 4.23 per hour during the day and 3.10 per hour during the evening.In Figure 4 we noticed that more patients arrived during evenings than during the day on weekends and holidays, opposite of the pattern seen on weekdays in Figure 3.
Time to treatment (TTT)
The TTT is described according to each triage category in Table 2. Notice that by the 75% percentile all category III, IV and V patients are seen within the time limits.
Table 2 Time to treatment
Weekdays showed that 80.1% [77.7%; 83.4%] of patients were seen on time while 80.0% [75.2%; 84.8%]on weekends (p = 0,84). At night 67.9% [59.1%; 76.6%] were seen on time, daytime 87.2% [84.3%; 80.0%] and in the evenings 74.8% [70.4%79.2%] (p < 0.001).
Table 3 shows the odds ratio (OR) of not being seen on time. The risk was higher when arriving during evening and night shifts compared to dayshifts. The data also showed an increased risk of not being seen on time on weekends and holidays, although not statistically significant. Finally we found, that the more severe triage categories were at greater risk of being attended late, although category I showed a tendency of a slightly lower risk compared to triage category II. Mutual adjustment and adjustment for number of physicians on duty and total number of contacts per day attenuated the estimates slightly.
Table 3 Risk of late treatment according to triage targets (OR)
The first purpose of our study was to monitor and visualize the patient inflow within the week. By doing so, we found that the inflow in the ED differed between weekdays and weekends.
Most patient contacts were on Mondays while Saturdays showed the fewest patient contacts. Despite different settings and countries Arkun et al. and Ekelund et al. [14, 17] also found Monday to be the busiest day in their EDs. In addition Ekelund et al. [17] too found Saturday to have the fewest patient contacts. This tendency is plausibly due to the ED primarily tends to patients referred from their general practitioners, who only work on weekdays. Hence, in theory, there would be more patients after the weekend that need attending in the ED, as patients with minor injuries or illnesses arisen during the weekend wait until Monday before seeking medical attention. One could speculate that Monday therefore would show more patients of lower acuity, however we found no difference in the distribution of triage categories during the week.
On weekends the inflow was largest in the evening, whereas the inflow on weekdays peaked around midday. The overall pattern of inflow on weekdays (Figure 3) corresponded well with findings from several other studies [17–19]. Patient arrivals increased from early morning, peaking around midday and then slowly and steadily declining. A significant drop in the inflow between the hours of 18 and 19 both on weekdays and weekends was observed. The reason for this was unclear. On weekends (Figure 4) the inflow changed, as a relatively larger amount of patients arrived later in the day. This could be related to daytime work-related injuries declining, afternoon sports injuries increasing or the fact that patients with minor injuries or illness on weekends wait to see if their condition improves during the day, while they on weekdays seek out their general practitioner during opening hours. In general alcohol related injuries also increase during the late hours on weekends.
The second purpose of our study was to assess the TTT in order to evaluate if the intended treatment times were actually met. We found an increased risk of not being seen within intended time on evenings and nights.
The OR on nights was reduced from 3.1 to 2.0 after adjusting for number of physicians, shifts, triage category and weekday/weekend. This could be explained by the higher inflow later in the day on weekends and a relatively reduced amount of physicians per patient on evenings and nights on weekends (data not shown). Supporting this thesis of a mismatch in resources and busyness later in the day, we found that 42% of patients that arrived at night showed a missing triage score, which was notably higher than during daytime and evening.
We also found the risk of late treatment enhanced by 1.9 on weekends - although insignificant, it further suggests that the lower attendance of physicians on weekends could be an important limiting factor on TTT. Note that risk may be overestimated due to analyses of a common outcome in logistic regression.
Crowding in EDs is known to be affected by several factors; on one hand the available resources such as staffing, available beds and paraclinical tests and on the other hand the patient load. Our data only allowed focusing on the staffing and the patient inflow, however a study from 2011 by Friesen et al. showed arrival rates to be the most useful metric for evaluating ED crowding [20].
The more acute patients were the ones most prone to exceed the TTT limits. Especially category I and II patients exceeded the intended TTT, as seen in the report from The Capital Region of Denmark [10] and also in a study from 2009 McCarthy ML et al. [21], that showed that increased crowding, increased the waiting time especially for category II patients. Only 62% of the category II patients were seen on time. Category I trauma patients were all seen at time zero and documented as such, but the category I patients that initially underwent triage, would always exceed the set limit of zero minutes, as any assigning to a patient after triage will exceed the time zero. We addressed this by allowing a time limit of 5 minutes to category I patients, when assessing the OR (Table 2). This only modified the OR slightly, but actually made the result significant.
Exact ED time data is not easy to come by, due to an ever changing working environment and the fact that treating ill patients is prioritized ahead of registration, as it should be.
Existing publications on the efficacy of the triage systems in Denmark are few and the data insufficient. The report from The Capital Region of Denmark [10] showed wide inter-hospital variation in TTT using different triage systems. The report was based on one week using protocols from different EDs with an average inclusion of 85% of all contacts, and showed widely differing amounts of patients within each triage category between hospitals. Another report from The Danish Ministry of Health [11] assessed the mean waiting time in several EDs in Denmark over a 1-year period without taking triage into account. It is unknown how time registration in any of the two studies has been done. Some hospitals even refused to participate, as their setup did not provide valid data on waiting time. In the later study an inclusion top limit on waiting time was set, because of unrealistically high numbers figuring, as also was the case in the present study.
CES has its strengths in enabling overview, timekeeping and registration and fast data extraction, but the main problem in research usability and quality assessment is that the precision of the data depends on the users. On that account it was necessary to exclude 989 out of 2000 in the TTT study as these either were missing time of triage, time seen by physician or showed unrealistic time registrations. As the data was without personal identification information, we had no demographic information on the patients and were thus unable to examine if the patients excluded were similar to the patients included in the study. When taking into account that almost half of all contacts were missing information to assess TTT, we have to be careful when interpreting the results on TTT, as non-registration of the times could be related to periods of high workload, thus causing a larger proportion of patients not seen on time and hence an underestimation of the risk. A recent study by Pérez N. et al. [9] performed in same setting as the current, used patient data from the primary medical chart – the electronic patient journal (EPJ) - over a period of 3 months and found 21% of all patients lacking triage, which is 9% lower than in our study. We therefore speculate that during busy times triage tends to be documented in the EPJ but not CES. Merging of the primary documentation tool (EPJ) with the CES would speculatively not only be time saving as double documentation is avoided but also contribute greatly in increasing the rate of registration. This would both contribute to a more effective ED as well as to ascertain future high quality research data.
The study had high external validity in settings with the use of similar triage systems, organization and patient groups referred to the ED, as is currently being implemented in all EDs in Denmark, . However, internal work organization, the number of nurses and physicians on duty along with the number of available beds and possibilities of quick referral to other specialties will affect the TTT.
Our study was a small study in a single site using data from only 1 month. It was strengthened by the fact that it was performed in one of the leading hospitals in the implementation of triage and reorganization of the EDs in Denmark, and therefore is one of the most experienced EDs in the usage of triage as well as CES in Denmark. This study included important factors as level of acuity, time of day and week along with the number of physicians present. Our data from the CES showed quite a large proportion missing data on triage and time of attendance which could bias the results. However, the data was sufficient to get results of significance that clearly provides the basis for further studies.
In this cohort study of inflow and time to treatment in the ED we found the pattern of inflow varying between weekdays and weekends - on weekdays rising from morning until midday, hereafter steadily declining. On weekends the inflow steadily increased until late in the evening.
The distribution of the different categories of triage between days was similar. Monday had the highest inflow, while Saturday the lowest. Category II (orange) patients were the most prone to exceed the intended TTT. The OR of not being seen on time was doubled during evenings and nights. A similar difference in OR was found between weekdays and weekends, however not statistically significant.

Workers feel stressed about preparing for retirement, but say workplace financial well-being programs would be helpful in preparing or saving for retirement, finds a report from the Employee Benefit Research Institute.
Workers with lower incomes, those who have not calculated how much they will need to save for retirement, and those in fair or poor health were more inclined to feel stressed about preparing for retirement.
At the same time, 30 percent of workers said they worry about finances at work - of these 31 percent reported they do so very often and over a third said somewhat often, and 29 percent said every once in awhile.

Friese passed away in Camp Buehring, Kuwait, from a non-combat related incident on July 18, 2019, while serving in support of Operation Inherent Resolve.
Friese, a resident of Parkersburg and a native West Virginian, was the recipient of the Afghanistan Campaign Medal, NATO Afghanistan Service Medal, Army Achievement Medal, Army Good Conduct Medal, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, West Virginia Emergency Service Ribbon, West Virginia State Service Ribbon, and numerous other awards and decorations.


A new independent report by the Design Council today (Thursday 5 July) calls on the government and business to invest in the UK's burgeoning 'design economy' to drive future jobs, innovation, productivity and overseas trade.
The most comprehensive report of its kind, Design Economy 2018, sets out the escalating role design firms and designers are playing in a global economy and the fourth industrial revolution.
The report highlights the impact of design far into the UK economy with the majority of its value (68%) of value generated by designers working in sectors such as banking, aviation and automotive.
However, the report raises concerns that investment and gains from design are becoming too concentrated in London and the south east and that larger, more successful firms, are pulling away from the rest of the economy and benefiting most from design.
To address this the charity has put forward the need for a new dedicated National Design Action Plan as part of the Industrial Strategy to ensure design sits across policies, encourages investment to drive innovation and growth, and provides clear ministerial level responsibilities to deliver it.
It is calling on support from Government to help improve the confidence of smaller UK firms to invest in design through the introduction of a new research, design and development tax credit in areas of most need; and to boost skills development by incorporating design into STEM subjects.
"The Design Economy 2018 shows the huge contribution design makes to the UK economy, growing at pace, driving innovation and growth for UK business.
"Despite this success, the importance of design to the UK is often misunderstood, categorised in narrow sectors and underestimated in its economic importance.
"Yet, the reality couldn't be more different. Design is fundamental to future industry and work. Designers are developing new systems, digital experiences and product innovations that transform our lives and they are working in the highly skilled, productive, robot-proof jobs of the future.
"Design, technology and engineering go hand in hand. You cannot have one without the other. It is the combination of skills that is driving the fourth industrial revolution. Yet here in the UK we still under-value design and too many businesses outside London and the south east do not benefit from the growth and innovation it can deliver. This has to change.
"The world is not waiting for us to wake up to the value of design. Countries such as Saudi Arabia, China, South Korea, Czech Republic and the UAE are all accelerating investment in design. They are the fastest growing exporters of design and outstripping UK investment at pace.
"Together, engineering and design make an enormous contribution to the British economy and the world we live. Many people are unaware of the extent of this contribution but this latest research, together with EngineeringUK's 2018 State of Engineering report, highlights the fact that both are a UK success story which should be celebrated and strongly supported.

MI6 today are traitors who betray humanity in favor of Big Tech
MI6 boss warns of China 'debt traps and data traps'
"Mr Moore – known as "C" – …"
" … signalled closer ties with tech giants." (…)
"Explaining the "data trap", he said: "If you allow another country to gain access to really critical data about your society, over time that will erode your sovereignty, you no longer have control over that data."
""That's something which, I think, in the UK we are very alive to and we've taken measures to defend against."" (…)
"… spy chiefs know they need public support – partly as they want to be seen to be accountable and know the public are less trusting of secrecy than in the past."
"But they also want to use the publicity to help recruit the best staff to their ranks and gain the support of businesses and others to help in their mission." (…)
"He said there was not "an adversarial sort of agenda here", adding: "We're not trying to encircle Russia, we're not trying to prevent it from pursuing its legitimate interest.""
"Looking ahead to the future of the Secret Intelligence Service, Mr Moore said he wanted to "partner in a different way" with the UK's technology industry to help its real-life "Q labs" stay ahead."
"But he said the service would always uphold UK laws around privacy and data."
Let me paraphrase what C said above: "If you allow a Western Big Tech corporation or intelligence agency to gain access to really critical data about you, over time that will erode your autonomy".
Privacy? London in 2021 had more surveillance cameras than authoritarian Beijing.
Mafia Intelligence 6 just wants power. I naively and somewhat blindly supported MI6, for almost two decades after 9/11, but their criminal neglect, incompetence and crooked nature eventually opened my two eyes and woke me up from neocon delusions.
MI6 consists of a bunch of dudes who are so bloody unintelligent that they claim no encirclement of Russia is going on today. Hey, dudes, take a look at the map! From Norway in the north to Georgia in the south, and also in the northern part of the Pacific we see that NATO or America is building up forces to contain Russia. American military bases in the Middle East and closer cooperation with India (Quad) contributes to the overall picture of encirclement.
Finally, the psychopathic anti-white ghouls in MI6 have become so hypnotized by the global power of AI that their PR now consists of alienating conservative people in the hope of recruiting woke computer nerds. They have just turned all conservatives into potential spies for conservative Russia.

Performance Management Home
Performance management at the United Nations Secretariat supports the Secretary-General's vision to create an organizational culture focused more on results than on processes, better manages administrative and mandate delivery risks, values innovation, and demonstrates a higher tolerance for honest mistakes and a greater readiness to take prompt corrective action.
The Secretary-General urged that "we must re-establish trust at all levels and create a culture of empowerment and accountability, ensuring that leaders, managers and staff have the wherewithal to achieve, where, when and how needed, and that the Organization is equipped and ready to support Member States, as they conduct their own work and take collective action. We must value and count on the integrity and hard work of our staff, communicate openly what is expected of them, recognize their performance against clear and fair standards, and ensure that staff skills and competencies keep pace with the exponential rate of technological innovation." (A/72/492, para. 15)
New Performance Management Approach:
What is new and different? There will be more emphasis on goal management by taking work plans outside of the electronic tool to allow more flexibility for managers and staff members to develop and update their workplan in real-time, to reflect priorities. Formal mid-term reviews are no longer required, making room for ongoing conversations and regular check-ins that focus on coaching and development as well as performance discussions. Giving and receiving feedback as well as a more collaborative team experiences will be encouraged. Effective people management assessments will be rolled out at senior management level enabling upward feedback opportunities.

Q: SQLite table row not deleting when delete button pressed, android I'm trying to delete a row from a table in SQLite for the first time, I thought I'd followed a tutorial and adapted it to my app but I've messed up the syntax somewhere.
Here is the code from DatabaseHelper.java
public void deleteRow (String subject) {
    SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
    db.execSQL("delete from " + TABLE_NAME +" where " + COL_2 + "=" + subject);
}

And the code that calls it from SubjectActivity.java:
public void onClick(View view) {
    if(view.getId()==R.id.deleteSubject) {
        Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
        String subject = extras.getString("subject");
        myDb.deleteRow(subject);
    }
}

The row should be deleted when a delete button is pressed in the subject activity, but when I do press the button, the app force closes. What am I missing in the syntax?

A: This is what your current raw query being passed to SQLite looks like:
delete from TABLE_NAME where COL_2 = some_subject

In other words, you are comparing COL_2 against some_subject, which SQLite will interpret as a column, but not as a string literal.  Here is the query you intended to run:
delete from TABLE_NAME where COL_2 = 'some_subject'

The best fix here is to use prepared statements, where the query has a positional parameter (?) for the subject string.  The statement will automatically take care of escaping the string on your behalf.
public void deleteRow (String subject) {
    SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
    String sql = "DELETE FROM " + TABLE_NAME + " WHERE " + COL_2 + " = ?";
    SQLiteStatement statement = db.compileStatement(sql);
    statement.bindString(1, subject);

    int numRowsDeleted = statement.executeUpdateDelete();
    // you might want to check the number of records which were actually deleted
}

Note that it is not very typical to make the table and column names variable for a given statement.  Instead, you would usually see these being hard coded.  The reason for this is that it is unlikely that you would want to run the same statement on a different table, or the same table but with different columns.

A: check below code
public void deleteRow (String subject) {
    SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
    db.delete(TABLE_NAME , COL_2 + "=" + subject, null);
}

Adaptation for Coping With Change
Stages of Cognitive Development
Piaget's Theory
Sensorimotor Stage
Preoperational Stage
Concrete Operational Stage
Formal Operational Stage
Support and Criticism
Marc Romanelli / Blend Images / Getty Images
Adaptation is a term referring to the ability to adjust to new information and experiences. Learning is essentially adapting to our constantly changing environment. Through adaptation, we are able to adopt new behaviors that allow us to cope with change.
How Adaptation Takes Place
According to Jean Piaget's theory, adaptation was one of the important processes guiding cognitive development. The adaptation process itself can occur in two ways: through assimilation and accommodation.
In assimilation, people take in information from the outside world and convert it to fit in with their existing ideas and concepts. People possess mental categories for information, known as schemas, that are used to understand the world around them.
When encountering new information, it can sometimes be readily assimilated into an existing schema. Think of this as much as having a mental database. When information fits easily into an existing category, it can be quickly and easily assimilated into the database.
However, this process doesn't always work perfectly, especially during early childhood. One classic example: imagine a very small child is seeing a dog for the first time. The child already knows what a cat is, so when she sees the dog she immediately assumes it is a cat. After all, it fits into her existing schema for cats, since they are both small, furry, and have four legs. Correcting this mistake takes place through the next adaptation process we will explore.
In accommodation, people also accommodate new information by changing their mental representations to fit the new information. When people encounter information that is completely new or that challenges their existing ideas, they often have to form a new schema to accommodate the information or alter their existing mental categories.
It is much like trying to add information to a computer database, only to find that there is not a pre-existing category that will fit the data. In order to incorporate it into the database, you will have to create a brand new field or change an existing one.
For the child in the previous example that initially thought that a dog was a cat, she might begin to notice key differences between the two animals. One barks while the other meows. One likes to play while the other wants to sleep all day. After a while, she will accommodate the new information by creating a new schema for dogs while at the same time altering her existing schema for cats.
Not surprisingly, the accommodation process tends to be much more difficult than the assimilation process. People are often resistant to changing their schemas, particularly if it involves changing a deeply held belief.
The adaptation process is a critical part of cognitive development. Through the adaptive processes of assimilation and accommodation, people are able to take in new information, form new ideas or change existing ones, and adopt new behaviors that make them better prepared to deal with the world around them.
