Study Shows Electronic Health Records Improving But Safety Concerns Remain
Clinical support tools still miss medication errors nearly a third of the time
Article June 11, 2020 By: Ben Moscovitch Read time:
Projects: Health Information Technology
Despite a decade of efforts to improve the performance of electronic health record (EHR) systems, clinicians' use of some functions still frequently result in errors that can put patients at risk of unnecessary harm, according to a study recently published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
In particular, the researchers highlighted continued weaknesses in crucial functions, such as the mechanisms intended to flag possible errors in medication orders. The systems may fail to detect such errors as much as a third of the time, according to the study.
Overall, the clinical decision support (CDS) tools incorporated in EHR systems to limit medication errors performed better over the decade examined. Still, the study found room for improvement in how these systems are designed as well as in their customization and installation in hospitals and doctors' offices.
The researchers—including experts from Brigham and Women's Hospital, the University of Utah School of Medicine, and Harvard Business School—examined data from more than 2,300 hospitals from 2009 through 2018. Each hospital used a nationally recognized test from the Leapfrog Group—a nonprofit organization founded by large employers and health care purchasers to improve care quality—to assess whether clinicians can correctly and safely enter drug orders for patients in the EHRs implemented at their facilities.
In total, the results show gains. The CDS tools' ability to catch errors in simulated orders rose from 53.9% of instances in 2009 to 65.6% in 2018. However, this progress was uneven.
Some basic clinical support decision tools—functions installed with early EHRs such as drug allergy and drug-drug interaction alerts—consistently performed well. On the other hand, some more advanced functions, such as warnings about maximum doses and necessary adjustments for drug doses to account for reduced kidney function, failed to catch errors at least half the time.
In addition, not all systems performed equally well; one vendor's tools, for example, caught errors around 67% of the time, while two others did so less than 55% of the time. This vendor-by-vendor variation showcases that, despite differences in how a single product may be implemented in different health care settings, data gathered from technologies currently in use can provide insights on the capabilities and drawbacks of each system.
The results of this study and other research highlight that some safety issues with EHRs may be less widespread now than a decade ago, but they still haven't been resolved. Monitoring the performance of these systems, using the Leapfrog Group test and similar tools, can help unearth such problems. That in turn can help vendors and hospitals identify industry-wide challenges and focus on the most pressing issues.
To that end, vendors should be adopting more best practices to detect errors early, such as including doctors, nurses, and other end users in any usability testing, and focusing on the most frequent ways these systems affect patient safety. The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology, the federal agency that oversees EHRs, is instituting an EHR reporting program that can help guide adoption of these practices and will publish the data from that testing. This information, in turn, can provide additional data to compare functionality and safety across different systems.
The Joint Commission, the organization that accredits 80% of hospitals in the United States, also could advance adoption of EHR safety-focused best practices in health care facilities through its programs. Among other steps, it could require hospitals to have processes in place for observing the frequency with which clinicians override EHR alerts—such as for drug interactions—to understand whether the alerts work as intended. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services can take similar steps through its policies for making payments to hospitals.
EHRs have helped transform health care delivery, but this study highlights that more attention is needed from developers, hospitals, and policymakers to ensure that health IT reaches its full potential to improve patient safety. The federal government and the Joint Commission should act to spur additional changes to resolve the EHR safety challenges that continue to put patients at risk.

Effective Reporting Could Improve Safe Use of Electronic Health Records
Despite the near ubiquitous adoption of electronic health record (EHR) systems to replace paper files in hospitals and doctors' offices across the country, minimal data exist on the capabilities of different technologies, including the safety of these products.

Q: Windows Phone 7.1 GPS I am trying to use a string that has a location(i.e. a book store read from an xml file) and then gives you directions from your current location to reach that particular book store. I am unsure as to how to do this. I believe it requires bing maps, but I am wondering if anyone has any code that performs a similar operation. Maybe you need specific coordinate points to be read in from the XML file? Thank you for your time and help!

A: You can rely on BingMapsDirectionsTask to accomplish that easily. Following is an example on how to show direction from current location to a book store location :
var directionTask = new BingMapsDirectionsTask();
var bookStoreCoordinate = new GeoCoordinate(Double.Parse(latitudeStringFromXml, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture),
                                            Double.Parse(longitudeStringFromXml, CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)));
directionTask.End = new LabeledMapLocation("book store name", bookStoreCoordinate);
directionTask.Show();

You can search with keyword "windows phone 7 BingMapsDirectionsTask" to get further information.

VirTra Awarded Patents for TASER® Training and Simulating Firearms and Malfunctions
TEMPE, Ariz., Oct. 31, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VirTra, Inc. (NASDAQ: VTSI), a global provider of training simulators for the law enforcement, military, educational and commercial markets, today announced that the United States Patent and Trademark Office has issued the company two new patents: patent 10,438,503, which relates to VirTra's TASER® cartridge kits, and patent 10,436,539, which relates to mechanical malfunction of real firearms used in simulation training.
Based on the parameters of patent 10,438,503, VirTra is the only company in the United States that can produce or sell a specially triggered training cartridge for the TASER line of products by Axon, the global leader in connected public safety technologies. The patent covers VirTra's proprietary method of reliably triggering the training device based on the unique acoustic sound produced by a TASER Conducted Energy Weapon's (CEW) electrical arc. This innovation allows trainees to deploy the cartridges from a real TASER CEW during simulation training and avoid high-voltage feedback. It also allows trainees to practice with a TASER CEW's "ARC" and/or "Re-ARC" functions, which increases the realism of each training session. By using a live CEW while training in VirTra's simulators, trainees are able to improve their technique and develop proper habits that carry into real world situations. The patent applies to both legacy units and the latest multi-cartridge systems used for the TASER X2 and TASER 7 weapons.
"TASER CEWs have been classified as 'less-lethal' devices, and as such, require the same type of high quality, judgmental use-of-force simulation training as lethal devices like firearms," said Lon Bartel, Director of Training and Curriculum at VirTra. "By combining live TASER CEW and VirTra training cartridges with VirTra's simulators and library of content, trainees have an opportunity to develop critical decision-making skills when under stress as well as further develop safe weapon handling by practicing the removal and replacement of cartridges during simulations that escalate."
Based on the parameters of patent 10,436,539, VirTra is the only company in the United States that can produce or sell a specially designed kit that affordably converts a live firearm into a safe and reliable training tool that can simulate mechanical malfunction and therefore increase realism. This patent addresses the growing need to safely, affordably, and accurately reproduce the intricacies of real firearms for training purposes. Patent 10,436,539 expands VirTra's growing library of intellectual property related to affordably converting real firearms (whether pistol or rifle) into suitable training tools that can be used in realistic simulation training without the expense or hassle of modifying the original firearm.
Bob Ferris, VirTra Chairman and CEO, added, "These new patents are the latest progression in the strategy we outlined at the beginning of the year to bolster our technological capabilities. These patents not only expand our competitive moat by protecting important simulated weapon technology, but they also help ensure that VirTra remains an industry leader and continues to offer the highest quality judgmental use-of-force simulation training available."
VirTra (NASDAQ: VTSI) is a global provider of judgmental use of force training simulators, firearms training simulators and driving simulators for the law enforcement, military, educational and commercial markets. The company's patented technologies, software, and scenarios provide intense training for de-escalation, judgmental use-of-force, marksmanship and related training that mimics real-world situations. VirTra's mission is to save and improve lives worldwide through practical and highly-effective virtual reality and simulator technology. Learn more about the company at www.VirTra.com.

Sandstrom, Traditional Paper Making and Paper Cult Figures of Mexico (at reserve desk)
Type your comments here . . .
[Dave Roberts, dlr4@geneseo.edu, 10-2]
1.) It is interesting that Sanstrom did not use the real names of the Nahua he studied so as to protect them from the dangers of the outside world.When did he study these people? Do these dangers still exist today? Or have these people already been modernized, industrialized, and Westernized?
2.) Be it Europe, Asia, neolithic South America, or present day United States, it seems that the peasant-elite hierarchy has maintained the same basic relationship, with peasants laboring while the elite control them by buying their resources and cheap labor.
3.) I would like to look more into the conflict between the Tlakacans and the Aztec. Why didn't the Aztec share their cotton resources? Was hording the cotton worth a blood feud? Were Tlaxacans unable to harvest cotton within their region? I would like to feel maquay sometime... I'm sure it can't be too comfortable.
[Adam Saunders, ars11@geneseo.edu, 10-9]
1) The idea of the spirit weighs heavily in their ideology. Spirits during such events as the Nahua-Otomi Crop Fertility Ritual are represented by paper cut outs which directed by the Otomi master are cut out for each of the spirits that will be represented. Spirits represented are cut out in both female and male forms on a variety of different papers.
2) Cleanliness is also a highly depicted process of the ritual. The cleansing of various adornments especially alters is believed to be washing away any harmful spirits that may be present is necessary for harmful spirits will be attracted to the festivities due to the music and offerings that are present.
3) Harmful spirits come in many varieties one being the ejecatl. On the Nahua pantheon the ejecatl are responsible for disease, misfortune, drought, barrenness and death. These harmful form of spirit lurk about in anyplace that people my frequently visit. The ejecatl tend to prey on the weak, children, the aged or anyone else that is weakened is attacked most often.
[Steph Aquilina, sma8@geneseo.edu, 10/9]
Alan R. Sandstrom & Pamela Effrein Sandstrom – Traditional Papermaking and Paper Cult Figures of Mexico
1. IDEOLOGY/SYMBOLISM: Paper figures are used to portray spirits during rituals; the power they gain is why during the ceremonies, only shamans can handle them. Altars are constructed to appeal to the spirits and contain several offerings such as food or the blood of sacrificed animals that are "fed" to the spirits by pouring them onto the paper figures or putting them into the figures' mouths. Chants are addressed to the paper figures as the medium of communication with the selected spirits.
2. IDEOLOGY/SYMBOLISM: Paper was closely tied with the religious system, allowing for the printing of ritual instructions and theology, adorning statues and priests dressed as gods, being burned as a sacrifice and used in medical practices to fight disease and protect travelers.
3. SOCIAL CHANGE: When Cortes and his soldiers battled the Mexicans, the conquerors connected paper with other aspects of the native religion, believing it (along with temples, statues, altars and priests) must be destroyed. They felt that these sacred books were linked with the devil and must be eliminated; consequently, papers for sacrifice or adornment purposes no longer exist, and very few sheets (comparatively) have survived.

Sandstrom and Sandstrom - Traditional Papermaking and Paper Cult Figures of Mexico
1. Politics: The same general principal holds true all around the world, and that is the peasant-hierarchy relationship. Whether it be Europe, Africa, or the United States, the relationship remains the same generally. The elite rulers, very similar to the ones described by Socrates, control the laboring class by purchasing their products and supplying them with minimal or average compensation. The case remains the same for a countries such as China as well.
2.Ideology: The papers are used in rituals as representations of spirits. During these rituals the altars are constructed to appeal to the spirits by offering food, blood, animals etc. in hopes of appeasing them. The figures gain power throughout the ceremony, which is the reason they can only be handled by shamans. The figures are chanted at during the ceremony and a form of communication occurs.
3. Environment: Mesoamericans proved their dominance and superiority with their use of the glyphs and papers (as John said below). I thought it was a really good point and really emphasized their progression as somewhat sophisticated societies.

Sandstrom and Sandstrom—Traditional Papermaking and Paper Cult Figures of Mexico
1- Social Change- How neat that the paper figures are still used in rituals throughout parts of Mexico. It reminds me of when I have visited the Big Island of Hawaii and seen people leaving offerings of food and other items next to calderas and thermal vents to appease Pele, the Hawaiian volcano goddess.
2- Ideology- The papers are destroyed in rituals, but they are obviously cheap. This to me is interesting because in many other ancient cultures, even others in Latin America, it is very valuble things that are destroyed in the rituals. Why arent the gods gold statues being melted rather than thin paper figurines.
3- Environment- The use of paper, for figurines, as well as for codeces full of ornate glyphs, is to me truly a sign that the ancient Mesoamericans were clearly advanced. I wonder how the Spanish could be so prejudiced that they felt the need to just destroy the cultures rather then learn and make an attempt to understand them.

Sandstrom, Traditional Papermaking and Paper Cult Figures in Mexico
1. SOCIAL CHANGE: Most papermaking did not survive the Spanish conquests of Cortes because the goal of these European invaders was to destroy traditional Indian culture.
2. IDEOLOGY/SYMBOLISM: Nahua shamans often portray the ejecame--spirits associated with sickness and misfortune—because they are omnipresent spirits that need to be acknowledged.
3. IDEOLOGY/SYMBOLISM: Mictlan Tropa Ejecatl is a spirit that "rides the wind making people sick" (89) that is made from red paper, because it originated from the sun; however, the spirit now resides in the underworld.
[Elen De Oliveira, emd10@geneseo.edu, 10/11
1. Ideology/symbolism- The paper figures give insight into the religious beliefs and traditions of the Mexican people. As Sanstrom states, knowing what the figures mean gives insight into what the rituals they are used for are all about. Also stated, these figures increase knowledge of the whole religious complex. Paper played a major role in all religious endeavors such as offerings and medical practices.
2. economics- paper is fundamental to both our society as well as that if Mexico's people. Although cheap in our culture and usually taken for granted, it is a big part of our economy, for we use some form of paper in all aspects of our daily life. The indians of middle america recognize papers importance and do not take it for granted.
3. social change- Very little of the paper has survived over time due to the invasion of the spanish conquistadors who believed that the indians had fallen into league with the devil. For this reason they destroyed all aspects of their traditional culture, much of which included paper. All sacred books were burned which provided a great loss for the community. Fortunately there are areas that continue the old rituals of paper making to this day and therefore anthropologists were able to witnessit.
Charlie Genao cg7@geneseo.edu
1.Ideal Symbol: The paper lets you know on how religion plays an important role in the lives of Mexicans indigienous people because of the figures.
2.social change: When the Spanish arrived they destroyed most of the sacred books so the culture is lost aleast the traditional but there are a couple of people still practicing paper making which gives anthropologists something to work with.
3. I am amazed on the fact that no matter what happens to a group of people the culture never dies and the politics of the people represents a lower class and upper class hierchery.
[Lanh Nguyen, ltn2@geneseo.edu, 10/13]
Traditional Paper Making…
1.       Economics: Their economies are based on horticultural production. In all three groups the most important rituals serve to ensure crop fertility (pp. 63)
2.       Social organization: "Gods mapped out the social order according to the division of labor in the society." Each professional group had a tutelary deity i.e. Tonantsi is the master of the seeds  (pp. 296-297)
3.       Myths/Rituals: Certain diseases were associated with specific spirits-death by certain diseases can determine the fate of the "soul" rituals were used to help cure diseases.
[Dilek Canakci, dc11@geneseo.edu, 10/14]
Politics: Through cross cultural comparison, we can see how the elite rule over the working class and never pay attention to their needs or concerns. We can relate this to America, how the president rules over the people but also never cares for the concerns of the people.
Ideology: Paper was a big part of their religious practices and moved them forward by ritualizing and looking ahead to see how burning paper may help their lives. The fear of their lives being destroyed or just further their sufferings were always there.
Ideology: The paper also symbolized the devil when the sacred books were discovered and burned which also connected to their religious rituals. Paper was something that was used in sacrificial and medical practices but it was also perceived as something evil and dangerous.
[Larkin Kimmerer, llk5@geneseo.edu, 10-16]
Sandstrom-Traditional Papermaking and Paper Cult Figures of Mexico
1. Ideology/Religion: Shamans in Nahua culture are both regarded and feared; the same word is used for shaman and for sorcerer: a person bent on evil and a legitimate ritual specialist are the same thing.
2. Change: After the Spanish conquest, the population was reduced by 90%, and in reconstructing their own cultures, each group borrowed from the others.
3. Economics: Haciendas hired Indians to work wage labor and cattle raising on private farms, until they treated them so badly that the practice was stopped.

Sandstrom, Traditional Paper Making and Paper Cult Figures of Mexico
1. I thought it was very interesting that Starr had to search far and wide to encounter papermaking. In addiiton, I thought it was interesting to discover that Starr was the first outsider to witness and describe the technique since the sixteenth century. This means that outsiders are not exposed to this particular culture of papermaking. It makes me wonder if it is supposed to be hidden.
2. When I discovered what the paper figures were used for, I thought that it was interesting because it is so different from our culture. The villages used the small statuettes in order to venerate them during elaborate rites and used them in the rituals. In our culture, that would seem odd because we are used to venerating huge golden statues or something of grandier instead of paper cut outs.
3. It was interesting to know that even if they had much information and Indian cultures was beginning to flourish, they still did not know enough and their research was not complete. This is why they went from village to village researching what each meaning of the paper cutouts were.
[Heather Warren, hrw1@geneseo.edu, 10/19]
Symbolism: I thought it was definitely awesome how wide the variety of spirits that were represented. Each variation of each spirit seemed to show individualistic style.
Symbolism: I also was amazed how intricate some of the paper figures were compared to others. Some looked really difficult while others were simplistic.
Social Change: I was pretty impressed with how the people of the Otomi Village people were able to preserve papermaking, even when the Spanish had tried to crush all cultural practices. The method that they use to make the paper is pretty interesting too.
[Jennifer Ritzenthaler, jkr5@geneseo.edu, 10/20/07]
Traditional Papermaking
1.Ritual-It is interesting that something like paper depicting sprits is thought to be able to summon actual spirits by shamans to benefit or harm the community. Is harm only called upon by shamans to hurt those in other villages or used against certain members of the same village?
2.Economy-Some paper images are on sale in tourist markets in Mexico. Do the Mexicans mind selling an important part of their Mexican Indian religion that might be exploited or not properly respected by outsiders?
http://3.Ritual/Ideology-It" _fcksavedurl=">http://3.Ritual/Ideology-It" href="http://3.Ritual/Ideology-It" class="linkification-ext">3.Ritual/Ideology-It is interesting to see how the Sandstroms found out differences in Nahua, Otomi, and Tepechua Indian religion by taking a close look at the variances among the paper images that each cut.
[Shamiran Warda, sw11@geneseo.edu 10/21]
Social Change: When the Spaniards arrived to the new world, war was often waged especially by Cortes and his soldiers. These European invaders wanted to wipe out the Indians religion and rather convert them to Christianity, thus they smashed the statues, destroyed the altars and even killed the priests. This also resulted in the destruction of paper because paper was connected to the Indians religion. In all, the Spaniards tried to wipe out the Indians' traditional ways, thus destroying their native image and creating a new image much like their own.
Ideology/Symbolism: The Indians of Middle America have long valued paper as an important commodity. To these people, paper was offered to deities to avoid bad luck. It was part of rituals, where it was used to warn off disease. And when paper was burned it became a direct offering to the gods. In all, paper acted like a messenger or go-between, providing a medium communication between the people of this world and the spirit worlds.
Ideology/Symbolism: The whole idea about wind and Ejecatl which means "gust of wind" is another example of ideology and symbolism. The people of the Indians believe that the wind or malos aires (bad airs) causes disease, along with misfortune, drought, barrenness and death. What I found very fascinating is how the majority of Middle Eastern believe in the same thing when it comes to the wind, especially our culture group, the Assyrians. I remember when my youngest sister once got ill and how my mother would be telling my aunt that it was the wind, that the wind had got in her as if the wind was some evil spirit- odd but at the same time fascinating that different areas of the world are still somehow connected with some similar cultural beliefs. It just shows that we are not as different as we think we all are. Furthermore, the walking stick that the Indians shamans uses is another example of ideology and symbolism and when reading this section about it I noticed that this too was similar to the African culture, because they too used the walking stick as means of communicating to the spirits and so on and forth. Overall, great read and loved the pictures. -END-

1. Economic: I felt sorry for the Tlakacans for having to resort to wearing maquay. I think the Aztecs were jerks for allowing their differences to cause so much discomfort to the Tlakacans.
2. Economic: The economic situation reminded me of sweatshops, where a large majority of poor make a small minority very rich, and the only way this can continue is to keep the workers poor.
3. Ideology: I think the use of paper as a sacred medium was very interesting, but only because I had never heard of something like that before. I wonder why something so fragile would be considered to be spiritual.
[Kaitlyn Northrop, krn3@geneseo.edu, ]
1.) I was intrigued that Sanstrom used made-up names for the people he studied. If he felt they were in danger at the time, wouldn't it come out that they were who they really were?
2.) I thought it was interesting that the paper figures are still used ritually in some parts of Mexico.
3.) It was really sad to me that the papermaking did not survive long because it was the goal of the Europeans to destroy all of Indian tradition and culture.
[Nicole Rothman, ngr1@geneseo.edu, 10/22]
1. Religion- paper figures show religious beliefs and traditions, by knowing the names of the figures and what they were used for we have more insight into the culture.
2. Economics- paper is a big part of our economy; we use it all the time and often take it for granted. It is more precious in the Mexican culture.
3. Social Change- it's interesting that this tradition was preserved even when the Spanish had tried to crush a lot of the culture. This shows how important it is to the people.
[Dan Lilly, djl5@geneseo.edu, 10/22]
Papermaking and Paper Cult Figures
RELIGION: I thought it was very strange that the Nahua recruited an Otomi shaman for one of their most lavish spiritual rituals. Foreigners usually don't have a place in rituals because they don't usually share the same beliefs, but, as Sandstrom and Sandstrom say, this must be evidence of very close intertribal relations in the are.
ECONOMICS: It just strikes me as being incredibly lucky that such ingenous people were around the natural resources required to make paper. It lasted so long as the medium of information, and we're only just now finding something more efficient in digitalization.
RELIGION: I always think tribal reasoning for bad things are more interesting than for good things. Often people throughout the world focus on a benevolent god or spirit and give thanks for good things and then simply ponder why bad things still happen. I think its interesting to believe that there actually are bad spirits riding around on the wind causing harm.

New Zealand climate plan criticised over 'cow-shaped hole'
Aotearoa Climate Change Commission set out detailed advice to cut emissions to 2035 but stopped short of recommending fundamental change to the dairy industry

By Joe Lo
New Zealand's government has welcomed its official advisers' advice on carbon budgets up to 2035 but critics say these budgets are under-ambitious on livestock and over-reliant on international offsets.
The Aotearoa Climate Change Commission's advice was published on Wednesday and outlines how to reduce long-lived climate pollutants like carbon dioxide by 63% between 2019 and 2035.
Prime minister Jacinda Ardern called the advice "one of the most significant documents I'll receive in my time as prime minister". Climate change minister James Shaw, from the Green party, said "from now on nearly every minister will, in some ways, be a climate change minister".
The Climate Commission's final advice is out. More to come but a few key points to start:
✅Govt making good progress, but more action required
✅Economic cost of delay is higher than acting now
✅Meeting targets is achievable and affordable
✅Every Minister has a part to play
— James Shaw (@jamespeshaw) June 9, 2021
The commission advises government to pursue net zero by electrifying transport, greening buildings, cleaning up energy and reducing emissions from the country's huge livestock industry.
But Greenpeace New Zealand said there was a "cow-shaped hole" in the plan. "The Climate Change Commission's final plan seems more anxious about placating big dairy than doing what is scientifically necessary to avert the climate crisis," said campaigner Amanda Larsson in a statement.
The plan envisions just a 17% reduction in biogenic methane between 2019 and 2035. Biogenic methane is a greenhouse gas produced by plants and animals. For a developed country, New Zealand is unusual in that nearly half its greenhouse gas emissions come from agriculture, with methane from livestock accounting for almost three quarters of the sector's emissions.
"New Zealand has the world's highest methane emissions per person, largely thanks to those six million dairy cows. The Commission's goal of a 16% reduction in methane is not only insufficient, it's unlikely to succeed because it relies on voluntary measures and future techno-fixes, like the fabled methane vaccine," said Larsson.
Mexico: Elections dash President's hopes for dirty energy reform
The commission was also criticised for its acceptance of international carbon offsets as a "last resort". This is where other countries reduce their emissions and count the progress towards New Zealand's targets.
"To achieve the NDC [climate plan], Aotearoa will need some offshore mitigation," it says. "This is not about doing less domestically – but about increasing the contribution Aotearoa makes beyond what is possible at home".
Cindy Baxter, from Climate Action Network Aotearoa, told Climate Home News she was "concerned" about offsets. "This should not be what net zero looks like," she said.
G7 leaders told solidarity with poorer nations is critical to Cop26 success
The commission left the task of setting a 2030 emissions reduction target to government. It said: "Science alone cannot determine the share Aotearoa should contribute to those global reductions. Reaching a conclusion on this also depends on social and political judgements about international equity. These should be made by the government of the day."
The government's current target is to reduce total greenhouse gas emissions by 30% between 2005 and 2030. From a 1990 baseline, this is just 11%, compared to Australia's 26%, EU's 55% and UK's 68%, according to analysis from newsroom.pro.
While not dictating a figure, the commission has said the new target should be "much more than 36%". The government has said, now it has the commission's advice, it can work on the detail of its updated national contribution to the Paris Agreement plan, including a more ambitious 2030 target.
The commission found that the costs of not acting on climate change would reduce GDP by 2.3% by 2050. Acting on climate change will reduce GDP by just 1.2%, it calculated, compared to a scenario where climate change doesn't exist.

Resolve system failures following a merger which had led to their bank losing confidence in them.
Supplied an accountant as an interim 'Financial Controller' and closed one troublesome department.
Turnover and profits doubled. They are now the firm with the best reputation locally in almost every department.
This was a case of a firm in dire straits when we were introduced by their bank to help. They had undergone a merger, which had resulted in looming succession issues and failing systems, and we helped them, first and foremost, to ensure their survival and then to become a real leader in their area.
This client was a limited company with four directors and over 50 staff operating out of two offices in the Midlands, with distinct systems and cultures in operation in the two offices of the predecessor firms. They had practices in crime, litigation, family and children, property, and a private client team, and were turning over under £2m. Partly as a consequence of the merger, the finances were largely out of control – with poor cash flow, large (and growing) debt, and (owing to system failures following the merger) unknown profits.
The firm's bank had completely lost confidence in them, and the first priorities (among many) were to resolve the system failure, establish the true financial position of the firm, and regain control – in order to regain the support of the bank. Survival was their first and most pressing priority.
This was clearly a particularly challenging project, and would entail a phased approach to get the firm out of the immediate trouble in which they had found themselves and then on the road to recovery.
Initially, we reconstructed their finances, reconstituting their management information and producing full management accounts (after 11 months' absence of management information), including a full balance sheet and departmental analysis. This highlighted that one small department was making significant profits, while some were breaking even, and others were making large losses. We also discovered an 'endowment' of Legal Aid Work in Progress (WIP).
During this initial phase, we helped them to run a concerted campaign to turn WIP into cash and we acted as an interface with their bank – helping the bank to retain confidence to support them through particularly challenging times. We also supplied an accountant to act as interim 'Financial Controller'.
They closed the most troublesome department and took on some staff from a larger local competitor that had closed its doors. They then moved into a single premises that was far more appropriate to their requirements, bringing all staff under one roof, and strengthened relationships with local property agents – reducing their dependence on the key profit-making department. Through all of this we helped them to devise and implement the strategy.
This first stage ensured that they survived and even restored modest profitability, which was a significant accomplishment under the circumstances. Having achieved this initial goal, we helped them turn their attention to the longer term.
We profiled and analysed all of the local competitors, setting out a strategy to be the dominant local player. We initiated merger discussions with local competitors, evaluating the potential of the most promising option and helping the client to devise suitable terms. Having done so, we prepared papers for the bank to support the funding of the merger and recruited management to fill key gaps, including a CEO. This is a long-term strategy that has paid major dividends, and which we are still helping the firm to implement.
Firstly, the firm survived and emerged from an extremely precarious position. In the three years since the commencement of our involvement, they have more than doubled their turnover and profits (which were previously negligible) are close to benchmark levels. They are now the leading firm in their town, with the best reputation in the local area in almost every department. They have changed the balance of their work types and, through the recent merger, will achieve a further rebalancing. They now have truly professional management.
In this case, maintaining the confidence of the bank was absolutely crucial. Recruiting the best local talent has transformed perceptions of the firm and its reputation, and control over internal processes has been key to recovery and success. Having come out of a particularly difficult situation, opening discussions with competitors produced some pleasant surprises and the firm continues to improve in all the key areas.

About Melissa Sue Anderson
September 26, 2017 By Little House on the Prairie
Mary Ingalls: God's world isn't fear and hate. It's love, its understanding.
Woman: Amen to that!
Mary Ingalls: And learning is part of that understanding.
Season 4, Episode 15 "Whisper Country"
Born September 26, 1962, in Berkeley, California to James and Marion Anderson, [1] Melissa moved to southern California with her sister, Maureen, and her parents when her dad was transferred. [2]
Because she had asthma, Melissa took dancing lessons with Louis DePrine who encouraged her to take acting lessons. [3] She recalled, "I wanted to be a dancer, and he felt acting would be good for me. So I took some lessons. Then I pestered my mom for a year to get me an agent. She did, hoping I'd get acting out of my system if I did a commercial."[4]
Melissa had her first screen kiss on the "The Brady Bunch." [5]
As Mary Ingalls in "Little House on the Prairie"
In her book, The Way I See It, Melissa describes how Mary Ingalls does not do much in the "Little House" books. [6] At first she felt under-utilized because her acting skills were unknown and the writers (and Michael Landon) were unwilling to risk writing material for her. That changed when Michael Landon was hospitalized with meningitis and could not do his close-up shots for a scene in "The Raccoon" (Season 1, Episode 10). Landon told the editor to "See how it plays. I think she [Melissa] can carry the scene on her own."[7] She did and better material was written for her after that.
Mary Ingalls Going Blind
Her most challenging acting experience was going blind in season four. Melissa knew her character went blind in the books and confronted Michael Landon about it but, "I told her to trust me," Landon said. [8] She worked hard to make the character believable. "I went to the Foundation for the Junior Blind, for specific instructions on how a young person adjusts to recent blindness," Anderson said. "It was the only time in the history of television that a series regular had lost their sight and not gotten it back… ever."[9]
For her performance in "I'll Be Waving as You Drive Away" Melissa was nominated for an Emmy in the category Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. [10] She did not win but it put her on the map.
"Little House" Education
The same day Melissa was nominated for her Emmy (August 10, 1978), she graduated from high school at age 15. Only one month a year was spent at Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy in La Canada Flintridge [11] because her education was with her on-set tutor, Mrs. Minniear. "Mrs. Minniear was terrific, the perfect combination of charm and discipline. I learned a lot from her."[12]
She learned a lot from Michael Landon, too, by watching him direct on the set. One day Landon turned to her and said, 'You want to be a director, watch this.'"[13] Landon appreciated her inquisitive nature. "She's not only a beautiful, talented actress," Landon said, "but she's bright and curious. By the time she's 20 she'll be able to star and direct."[14]

"Little House" Accolades
Widely recognized for her "Little House" work, she shared the Western Heritage Award for Fictional Television Drama in 1975 with Ed Friendly, Michael Landon, Karen Grassle and Melissa Gilbert; in 1980 she accepted the TP de Oro Award in Spain for Best Foreign Actress (Mejor Actriz Extranjera); and she was inducted into the Great Western Performers Hall of Fame by the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in 1998. [15]
Life Other Than "Little House"
During "Little House on the Prairie" Michael Landon asked her to play his former girlfriend in his autobiographical TV Movie "The Loneliest Runner."
For her portrayal in the ABC Afterschool Special "Which Mother is Mine?" she won a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Children's Programming. [16]
In 1981 she was nominated Best Young Motion Picture Actress for the Youth in Film Awards for the psychological thriller "Happy Birthday to Me." She also appeared in popular TV series including "Love Boat," "Fantasy Island," and "Murder, She Wrote" plus playing the First Lady in the TV Mini-Series "10.5: Apocalypse."
Michael Sloan: Writer, Producer, Husband
Melissa did not meet future husband Michael Sloan until she was cast in the series "Alfred Hitchcock Presents," with Michael as writer and executive producer. [17] They also worked together on "The Equalizer" and TV movies "Memories of Manon," "The Return of Sam McCloud," and "Earthquake in New York."[18][19]
When Melissa and Michael together pitched Michael Landon on doing "Where Pigeons Go to Die," [20] Landon made Melissa an associate producer on the project. [21]
Melissa and Michael married March 17, 1990. [22] Daughter Piper was born February 15, 1991 [23] and her son Griffin arrived on June 14, 1996. [24] Melissa decided to devote more time to her children and less time on acting. "I decided to retire when I had my kids and to work only occasionally for friends. I never wanted to see that look on my children's faces." The 'look' was Michael Landon's daughter being ignored at her own birthday party while her dad was being mobbed by fans. [25]
In 2010, Melissa published her memoir, The Way I See It: A Look Back at My Life on Little House.
Melissa says: "I have enjoyed putting my children first and being at home with them day in and day out. As much as I enjoyed my career, I have been even happier playing my parent role. I've worked very hard; it is the most difficult job there is and by far the most rewarding. I'm confident I made the right decision for me and for our family. [My kids] are both terrific individuals, and I'm proud to be their mother."[27]
Since then, her children have grown up and moved on, so Melissa is working on new projects, such as "The Brits Are Coming," which is in post-production as of the publication of this article in 2017.[28]

Faye Ann Witt says
Mary was always my favorite! To me and this is just my opinion but I always thought that Laura was just too much of a sense stealer seems like it was always about Laura, Laura this and Laura that. Like for instance in the " I'll be waving as you drive away episode when Charles finally tells Mary the truth about her condition, about her eyes and after a while after she's told she gets up and she walks and Charles turns around and there stands Laura and it's like the camera just goes off Mary and on to Laura and she runs off like she's always doing and like my God this should be Mary's moment not Laura's I mean Mary's the one going blind not Laura but the whole sense is treated like it's Laura going blind and not Mary and Laura was always so bad for getting so jealous anyway this the one main reason why Mary is my favorite nothing against Melissa Gilbert I know she's only playing the part that she's supposed to and she's good at it.
Dale Robinson says
Good stuff, Faye. I never considered some of your critiques, but, I see your wisdom here. I've been binge watching "Little House" on two cable channels for a few months now. It's a terrific show and I've thoroughly enjoyed watching. By tracking from the pilot episode brings a more comprehensive feel for the characters and how they are evolved. Landon did a wonderful job of bringing this series to television and keeping it alive for so many years.
Thanks, Faye.
– Dale
William Keleher says
What you forget is the series was based on the writings of Laura from her perspective, so of course the show focused more on Laura and others not so much. Had the books been written by say Mary Ingalls or Carrie then the show would have been focused on either of them.
Lauralee Hensley says
I like this article. I appreciate the fact that she chooses her children over being one of the megastars always working and having nannies to raise their kids. Now that they (her children are adults) it will be great seeing her in front of the screen more. I always felt she was an excellent actress.
Patricia Cridland says
I watched and enjoyed Little House on the Prairie series for many years
Have all the tapes and to this day watch the show in reruns whenever I can.
I enjoyed many of the shows that you were the main character, I felt for you when you played those parts
I hope you have a Great Day and a Great Year

Is Peter Lawwell Really Playing Yet Another Game Of "Transfer Hardball" Russian Roulette?
Date: 8th September 2020 at 11:53am
Here's the attractive thing about Russian Roulette from a gamblers perspective; the odds aren't bad, you can win as often you like and you'll only ever lose once.
Sounds great, right? Only until someone explains the game to you properly.
Peter Lawwell's version of transfer window Russian Roulette is crap.
The stakes are too low on the downside.
"Oh the manager might have to settle for his third choice player? Oh my. Whatever will I do, especially with my bonus cheque?"
Yesterday, I published a piece about the chairman of Peterborough, who had a go at us over the long drawn out transfer saga involving Ivan Toney. I said I broadly supported Celtic's handling of that, but I did express some minor disquiet over Celtic telling the club that we would simply wait until January and get the player on a free.
It's arrogant and egotistical and an idiotic stance to take.
Because it assumes that players are going to wait around for us as their contracts run down and risk serious injury or worse, all for the privilege of playing at Celtic Park. If this theory is so sound, where are these guys? Where are the players who let their contracts expire because we wanted them?
There are at least two high profile failures that we can definitely point to though, and the first of them is Toney himself. If the strategy was so sound and we were such a big draw why didn't he just tell Brentford "thanks but no thanks" and play the waiting game?
We could have tied up his pre-contract and then paid Peterborough a nominal sum to take him early.
You know why we didn't? Cause the player was never going to do that, and we should have known it because the last time we tried that we tried it with a Celtic die-hard who looked pre-destined to play in the Hoops for years, and even be Brown's replacement as captain.
And where did John McGinn end up?
At Aston Villa, because they put money on the table and when it came down to it he took the bird in the hand rather than the promise of green jam tomorrow.
This morning, the press says that we've learned nothing, that this arrogance is still prevalent at Celtic Park, even when we caught the round in the chamber for the second time only last week when Toney signed for Brentford.
We have made an offer for the young winger Alfie Doughty at Charlton. And we're preparing to make a second. According to the hacks we have told them that if they turn it down we're willing to take the money off the table and snap him in January on a pre-contract agreement.
As if that option were ours to take and not something the player himself has a say in.
Let me tell you, if that's the plan we're asking him to play Russian Roulette right along with us and he's not going to do that, and he shouldn't do it. I don't know if Doughty is worth spending more on than the £400,000 we're offering, but that's hardly the point.
The kid himself is being advised to stay at the club by signing another one-year deal and there are other parties interested in him.
Football has never been a more uncertain business, and there were no guarantees even when it was.
If he's asked to let this drag on the chances are great that if another offer comes in that he and the club will jump at it, or that he'll protect himself by signing a new contract with a minimum release provision.
The way we do business at times is just plain stupid, and all for the sake of saving a few quid.
What we expected Ivan Toney to do was, in its own way, just as presumptuous and arrogant as his club's efforts to use our name to spark a bidding war, as if we would simply play ball with that.
We did the same thing with McGinn and the shock of that outcome still hasn't fully abated.
How many more times do we need to get the chambered round before we stop playing these stupid, self-defeating games?
The trouble is, Lawwell has never been as good at this as he thinks he is, but that's the over confidence that comes with playing with blanks. You don't feel the hit when it comes, but that price is still paid by our club.
His version of transfer window roulette has arguably cost us tens of millions in failed Champions League qualifications in the last three years.
He shows no signs of learning his lesson.
If the press it right today (and they're not always wrong) he's spinning the wheel and taking his chances once more … and this is what the so-called "strategy" is based on folks; dodging the bullet. Except sometimes it hits us.

Man, 19, says he survived secret extrajudicial killing in Venezuela
Building residents remember deadly police raid in Caracas
CARACAS – Venezuelans report police officers killed seven young men during a recent secret extrajudicial execution at a former office building that was converted into apartments for the poor in downtown Caracas.
A dozen police officers from a special unit of the national police were looking for suspects involved on a police shooting on Monday. The officers were going door to door ordering women and children to stay inside and taking some men downstairs, witnesses said.
The men were blindfolded and their hands were tied.
The officers asked the men to raise their hands if they had a criminal record. Witnesses said those who raised their hands were taken back upstairs. A shooting followed. The seven were shot in the chest. The police department reported the officers were responding to shots fired.
Miguel Pico said the shots he heard were clearly not part of a shoot out. Lisbeth Mijares agrees. Her brother was among the seven killed.
"It was never a shootout because all of the men were downstairs with their hands tied," Mijares said.
A 19-year-old man, who was helping to make plantain chips when officers arrived, said he managed to escape to a parking lot, and when police officers found him they threatened to kill him should he not hang over something valuable.
"I remembered the shoes. I went upstairs. I opened the suitcase and just thanked God," the man who did not want to be identified said.
Many of the neighbors said many of the witnesses have moved out for fear of reprisal.
Earlier this year, Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, the United Nations human rights chief, called for an internal investigation into human rights violations during crime-fighting operations in poor neighborhoods conducted without arrest warrants and ending in the extrajudicial killings of young men.
"The failure to hold security forces accountable for such serious human rights violations suggests that the rule of law is virtually absent in Venezuela," he said. "The impunity must end."
The United Nations released a report saying Luisa Ortega Diaz, Venezuela's former attorney general, recorded the killing of 505 people by security forces during crime-fighting operations and was investigating some 357 security officers for crime-related killings.
United Nations investigators cited "credible, shocking" accounts, and a trend of officers who were reportedly not afraid to tamper with a scene to make it appear as if there was an exchange of fire.
The Venezuelan government hasn't released statistics on extrajudicial killings. According to the U.S. State Department killings committed by police in Venezuela are often classified as "resistance to authority," and prosecutions often resulted in light sentences and convictions were often overturned on appeal.

Routine Cosmetic Surgery Leaves Woman with Devastating Brain Damage
Even the most minor surgical procedure carries some risks. Brain damage, however, is not typically associated with cosmetic surgery. Sadly, a Georgia woman recently fell into the hands of a cosmetic surgeon whose services caused her permanent brain damage. The startling nature of the story is compounded by the fact that the cosmetic surgeon performing the work has a previous record of multiple medical malpractice allegations.
A woman's heart stops during cosmetic surgery
Georgia resident Icilma Cornelius was preparing for her wedding. The 54-year-old woman decided to get Botox injections and an additional anti-wrinkle treatment, and made an appointment at Dr. Windell Boutte's Lilburn-based cosmetic surgery and medical spa center. During the consultation, Cornelius was also persuaded to undergo liposuction surgery.
Approximately eight hours after the liposuction surgery began, Tech Times reports, Cornelius's heart stopped beating. Because this type of emergency was beyond the capabilities of the cosmetic surgery office, the staff called 911. When the paramedics arrived, they successfully restarted Cornelius's heart, but then faced significant delays actually getting her to the hospital for care. According to Tech Times, before the paramedics could leave, "Boutte and an employee had to suture Cornelius' skin to prevent infections on open incisions, and the stretcher had to be carried down the stairs because it did not fit the elevator."
Cornelius was transported by ambulance to the hospital, but by the time the ambulance arrived, it was too late: she had suffered from oxygen deprivation, which led to permanent brain damage.
Cornelius' 26-year-old son, Ojay Liburd, filed a medical malpractice lawsuit on behalf of his mother. According to a WSB-TV report, "During her procedure on Feb. 18, 2016, Cornelius was not intubated, and did not receive general anesthesia. She was given a cocktail of drugs, including Propofol and fentanyl. The lawsuit claimed no end-tidal CO2 monitoring equipment was used during the procedure. In deposition Boutte said staff contracted to administer anesthesia did not think end-tidal CO2 monitoring was necessary."
The surgeon's history of lawsuits and medical malpractice settlements
A review of the surgeon's history reveals that she has settled five prior medical malpractice lawsuits and has four lawsuits pending. Additionally, videos she made of herself dancing and singing while patients were exposed on the operating table have recently gone viral.
Cosmetic surgery hidden dangers
Although risks apply to every surgical procedure, those risks should not include surgeons who are improperly trained or facilities that are ill-equipped to handle the advertised procedures. Some of the potential dangers associated with a cosmetic surgery provider include:
Lack of training. Some surgeons who provide cosmetic procedures do not have board certification to perform such surgery. Others have minimal to zero formal training in cosmetic surgeries. The level of training among surgeons can vary which can make it difficult to evaluate the capabilities of the surgeon.
Insufficient regulations. Georgia has relatively sparse guidelines for surgeons desiring to perform cosmetic surgery. Often, the guidelines may only consist of recommending accreditation. According to a piece in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, "In Georgia, doctors may set up an in-office cosmetic surgery shop and do all sorts of procedures. The medical board has safety guidelines for office-based surgeries, but they are guidelines, not rules…. [A] medical license allows a doctor to do almost any treatment or procedure that the doctor sees fit to undertake. Some doctors will take a weekend course on liposuction and then start offering it in an office setting."
Ill-equipped facilities. Medical facilities such as surgical centers and medical spas may not be equipped to handle certain medical emergencies. This can cause a critical delay in getting help to a patient in an emergency situation.
